From sparring to superstar

Chapter 8 7.1.6 times bonus!
Time passed day by day, and it was mid-September.

USC's intramural basketball competition for the fall semester has begun.

The men and women of the basketball club, whether they are ordinary club members, main players or main candidates, are all arranged to represent their respective departments to participate in intramural competitions.

Except for Li Ao, when he asked Henry Bibby why he didn't arrange for him to participate in the competition, the latter replied: "Your department can't even beat the art department."

It was the first time he was eager to play.

But the reality is that he can't do it. If he has the strength of Brandon Glanville in the art department, even if he leads the computer department, the school team will arrange him to participate in the competition.

The initial stage of his basketball career was completely different from the magnificence he imagined at the beginning.

Every time I go to the stadium, it is training, training and training, and it is the most boring and torturous basic skill.

The physical therapist that Vivian found brought him a lot of help. Professionals + professional equipment greatly shortened the time required for his physical recovery, and what he brought was more intensive training arranged by the coaching staff. Special training to make up for his basic basketball skills.

But every time he trained, he gritted his teeth and persisted. Almost every time he trained, he overfulfilled the coaching staff's arrangements.

The reason why he can persevere is that besides fighting for breath, he can see the improvement of his basic skills in both mid-range shooting and defense with the increase in the number of training sessions.

As he got used to the training intensity, he sometimes even took the initiative to go to the stadium to practice shooting outside of the training arranged by the coaching staff.

His hard training attitude has changed the attitude of many teammates, such as Trey Pagnier, towards him.

The same thing can have very different effects in different circumstances.

In the basketball team, at the beginning, the teammates were worried about his 'violent behavior', but after getting to know each other for a long time, everyone didn't care so much. Compared with the classmates in the same classroom, the people here are not very concerned about this matter. So caring, they are also potential violent in the eyes of others.

Gradually, he became acquainted with the team's leading point guard Brandon Granville, leading center Costa Charles and others.

After joining the basketball team, he realized that the 175 point guard who beat him and Liam in the art department was the head point guard of the school team. Last season, he averaged 10.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the NCAA stage. Wei Li has reached the first-class edge, and his strength has improved further this year.

On the other hand, Bai Mamba, although he was the first person to talk to him actively, but the relationship... the friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water.

The captain of the team has a good relationship with everyone. He has good leadership skills and strong strength. He is a standard team leader, but his leadership style is not to play with everyone, but to feel like a "big parent" , always like to 'educate' others, and therefore the relationship with each teammate is not particularly close.

Of course, some people are even more upset with him because of this.

Dean Teng is the happiest about him going to the Memorial Stadium for training whenever he is free.

When he used to be free, he used to hang out with Liam, and often met people who didn't have long eyes, and then they got into fights.

For some hooligans, ethnic Chinese and Chinese students are all meal tickets.

Now he doesn't have so much free time, which greatly avoids the possibility of fighting.

Li Ao went to class and training day after day, and occasionally went to watch the intramural basketball game with Vivienne or Liam to cheer for his teammates.

Another two weeks passed, and on September 9th, as no surprise, the School of Social Work led by White Mamba Bryan Scalabrine defeated the School of Architecture led by Tre Pagnell by a big score, and the Won the intramural basketball championship for two years.

In addition to the White Mamba, the School of Social Work also had Sam Clancy, the 49th high school student in the United States that year.

With the end of the intramural basketball game, the official roster selection for the Trojans will begin soon.

...

"Beautiful, Leo, you've done a great job, and you've been able to consistently hit 6 goals for each point!"

Li Ao finished a group of shooting training and scored 50 goals out of 33. Xavier Johnson was not stingy with his praise.

Li Ao was very happy, on the one hand because he was recognized, on the other hand, because he finally received the reminder to pass the training!
"Training mode: The team arranges training.

Training content: Basic skills of mid-range shooting.

Completion status: overfulfilled the training arrangement of the coaching staff.

Training Rating: Passed.

Congratulations to the host for getting the training reward: 100 achievement points.

The host can consume 100 achievement points to use the physiotherapy function of the body. "

Today is September 9, and he has been with the Trojans for more than a month.

Finally, after a month of hard training, the CIC has made great progress. From before, I could only throw blindly, and now I really have the certainty of shooting. Although it is not high, it is a qualitative change. It used to be really It depends on the sky when you cast it.

However, this is limited to spot-on catch-and-shoots.

Moreover, he has seen the white mamba's mid-range shooting training, and he can maintain a hit rate of more than 80% when he moves the ball and shoots.

Still have to practice!

He didn't know what the effect of 'Body Therapy' was. The option button was on, and he didn't tell him to use it immediately. He was going to try again when no one was around, and he didn't know what the effect would be. What if it was true? Therapeutic massage is like tossing...

The consumption of 100 achievement points, if you can complete the training at a qualified level, just get 100 achievement points, and it is not so distressing to use.

Xavier Johnson helped Li Ao relax by pinching his shoulders as usual, and said: "The team selection will start on Saturday. The 12-man main roster may be a bit difficult, but you can strive to enter the 18-man roster!"

12 main players + 6 alternates, this is the standard configuration of all NCAA basketball teams. In mid-October, each school team can submit a list of up to 10 players to the NCAA. Only players who pass the application can participate in the new season.

After more than a month, Li Ao's mentality has also gradually changed.

Now he has calmed down a lot in this area. From being unwilling at the beginning, to now, although he is still eager to prove himself, he can face blows more calmly.

He knew that what Xavier Johnson said was just a way of encouragement that Americans are accustomed to, to give him motivation, and he didn't really think he could be included in the 18-man squad.

But he still responded: "I'm a genius, I will definitely be on the big list!"

Xavier Johnson smiled: "Of course, I have confidence in you."

After a soothing massage, Xavier Johnson left first.

Today is Wednesday, when Li Ao came to practice in the afternoon, it was already 4 o'clock, and now it is past 7 o'clock, and it is already dark.

At this time, another system prompt came!
"Congratulations to the host for completing the accumulation of mid-range fixed-point catch and shoot training methods, judgment level: level 1, bonus effect: 20% of the training results for mid-range catch and shoot training.

The mid-range fixed-point catch and shoot training task has been started. "

The screen switched and came to the training mode interface. There was finally an option for the training task that was empty before!

Next to the option is a stickman who keeps moving, which is his training action.

"Mid-range fixed-point catch and shoot (level 1): 100 achievement points are consumed to enable it, and if the training task is completed at one time, 50 achievement points will be returned.

After completing the training task, if you perform mid-range fixed-point catch and shoot on the same day, you can get an additional 20% of the training results. "

The 20% bonus of DeRozan's CIC Action Pack and the 20% bonus of the training method, if the 20% bonus of the training task is added, the cumulative bonus effect is 60%!
Li Ao was shocked immediately!
But seeing the training mission, he calmed down.

“……120秒内50次接球中投命中；5个标准角度罚球线距离中投，每个位置10球，总命中率需达到70%；在5个标准角度轮流投篮，累积10次，总命中率需达到50%。

There is no time limit for completing the mission. If all three mission objectives are not completed on the same day, the mission progress will be reset. The mission objectives must be completed consecutively. If any goal fails, the mission progress will be reset. "

The first goal was already difficult for him, the second goal was directly beyond his current ability, and the third goal...he didn't even start practicing in this area.

In the past more than a month, his mid-range shooting training content mainly includes familiarization with shooting angles, force adjustment, catch and take-off connection...

"Don't think about returning half of the achievement points. You can take over the task first. Anyway, if you can't complete it, it's just a reset. Try it when you have time. It's training."

After more than a month of mental training, he is very open about this aspect.

He came to the bathroom and took a quick shower, ready to take a good shower when he got home.

When he was getting dressed and ready to go home, he remembered that the function of 'Organism Physiotherapy' was useless today.

In the past month or so, he has kept practicing 5 times a week, and in the past two weeks, he has been full in the morning and afternoon on Saturdays. Now that he has 2250 achievement points, he immediately decided to 'splurge' it.

With a thought, 100 achievement points will be deducted.

"The host consumes 100 achievement points, uses the physical therapy function of the body, and is recovering..."

With the arrival of the system prompt, Li Ao's fatigue after high-intensity exercise began to subside, and the muscle and soreness and discomfort during breathing were quickly relieved. Although it was not completely eliminated, the feeling was very obvious!

Just when he was excited about this, a strong hunger hit...

hungry!
very hungry!
He hurried to the business district, already in the dark.

Fortunately, there are a lot of shops surrounding the Memorial Stadium with a huge flow of people. He left the stadium and found a fast food restaurant. He ate three hamburgers in a row, and his hunger was relieved.

After eating another hamburger, he was about [-]% full before he stopped.

Don't eat too much for dinner, it will affect your sleep.

He thought about the next time he wanted to use the physiotherapy function of the body, he had to prepare some food.

It was already 08:30 when he got home by bus, but not long after arriving home, he was called by Vivienne, and the physical therapist Jack came to them for door-to-door service.

Another refreshing physical therapy.

After finishing the work, Li Ao, who was paralyzed on the massage table, asked Jack who was packing up the equipment: "You still work overtime at night, don't you accept overtime?"

Jack replied: "In principle, it is."

Li Ao understood that principles, like the bottom line, can float.

It's just that he doesn't know how much he owes the auntie for meals. From Friday to Sunday afternoon, the training ends early, so it's no problem to make dinner, but from Monday to Thursday, he can only owe it.

...

Li Ao usually does not practice on Thursdays, because he usually practices consecutively from Monday to Wednesday, and practice consecutively on Friday and Saturday. Occasionally, he does not practice on Tuesday, and he will make up half a day on weekends.

But this time, he took the initiative to contact Henry Bibby to practice more.

Yesterday, he used the physiotherapy function of the body and received professional physiotherapy. The effects of the two are superimposed. When he woke up this morning, he didn’t feel the discomfort of the second day of the previous month’s training. He even did the long-lost morning exercise after waking up!
After school in the afternoon, he came to the Memorial Stadium. Before Xavier Johnson came, he tried the task by consuming 100 achievement points. In the fourth group, he made 4 mid-range shots in 120 seconds.

When it came to the second goal, it failed again, and it had to start with 120 mid-range shots in 50 seconds.

It's harder than he imagined!He currently does not have the ability to stably complete a set of 70-ball training with a 50% shooting percentage, unless he is very lucky.

At this time, Xavier Johnson has come, and he temporarily put this training task on hold to start regular shooting training.

But just right, now his training has come to the training of fixed-point catch and shoot after moving, and he devoted himself to the training with more enthusiasm.

Xavier Johnson, who was called temporarily, saw that he was so motivated, and was also motivated to devote himself to guiding.

Li Ao was training, and Brown and Henry Bibby came to watch.

Brown looked at Li Ao who was practicing in full swing, and said to Henry Bibby next to him: "I didn't expect Leo to be really talented. Xavier said that his progress was much faster than expected. You picked up a treasure this time." gone."

Henry Bibby responded with a snort: "But his time in contact with basketball is too short, even if he has improved a lot, he is still very weak."

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket!
