Sam Hayes clearly remembers the first question Li Ao asked him - "If the referee doesn't see my foul action, does it not count as a foul?"
He thought about this problem for two whole days.
As a technical director, he feels that he should not teach bad things.
That's against the rules.
But starting from the actual situation, it is very different.
It was only when he guided Li Ao in special training for the second time that he said "it doesn't count" to Li Ao.
Li Ao's block just now took advantage of the referee's blind spot.
The referee couldn't see it, but the three coaches saw it. When Sam Clancy took off, Li Ao grabbed Sam Clancy's jersey. When he took off to block the shot, he pulled down his left hand to restrict Sam - When Clancy took off, he also used force to make him jump higher during the confrontation, and he barely managed to score.
This kid not only thinks about it, but actually defends it like this!
But what Sam Hayes meant by 'special' wasn't just that.
Li Ao's special defensive training has reached the stage of confrontation training, but the trainers all feel that this is hard work and are unwilling to do it. The intensity of the confrontation for this newcomer is too great! His strength is comparable to that of Sam Clancy's muscular man, and his defensive moves are extremely rough, causing the trainer to get bruises every time.
Henry Bibby has also noticed this.
Li Ao can actually carry Sam Clancy! Although it can be seen that Sam Clancy is still more powerful, it is not far behind.
In just over a month, has this kid's strength improved so much?
Although Li Ao's strength test during the trial training at the end of August was also very good, there was still a big gap compared to Sam Clancy.
He was sure that this kid couldn't possibly have a backup plan at that time. This kid was eager to show everything he had.
In other words, this kid might really be a genius!
After receiving high-intensity training, the physical fitness has been further developed, so there has been considerable improvement in strength without significant increase in weight.
In addition, he felt that Li Ao seemed to be running faster than on the day of the trial...
Xavier Johnson applauded directly from the sidelines.
Blocking shots + counterattacking alley-oop dunks, so cool! Although he can't jump high enough, Li Ao has a slender figure and is still enjoyable to watch.
Although this has nothing to do with what he teaches, it is so handsome!
On the court, Li Ao excitedly high-fived Granville to celebrate.
This feeling is so special. I bullied the geeks in the computer department when I was playing basketball, but I didn't feel this way when I dunked.
Granville also feeds the ball very well. When he takes the alley-oop, he doesn't feel forced at all. He can exert full force when dunking the ball down, so that he can have such a comfortable dunk.
Back in the backcourt, three teammates including Rashad Jones, Brusenthal, and Evanisco stepped forward to high-five Li Ao to celebrate.
This ball relieves your anger!
In the final minutes of the first half, Sam Clancy was too arrogant, but there was nothing they could do.
When team B attacked again, Sam Clancy, who was even darker-faced, continued to ask for the ball. Nate Hale felt that he should not give the ball out of point guard instinct, but the opponent's attitude was tough, so he passed the ball anyway.
Onlookers Henry Bibby was very disappointed.
Sure enough, Sam Clancy rushed inside and made another shot, and Brusenthal protected the defensive rebound.
Li Ao defended more confidently and better. Although he failed to block the shot again, he was very close and did not give Sam Clancy a chance.
This is why Sam Clancy was not reused last season.
He can only rely on his body to break through, but although he has the top strength in the university, his skills are too poor, his speed is only just at the first-class level, and he does not have the real unstoppable impact of Ron Artest. force.
When team A came to attack, Brusenthal, who was close to the baseline, received a pass from Li Ao and then passed it to Evanisco, who made a layup.
The score was 49 to 50, and Team A narrowed the difference to 1 point!
The players of Team A all felt that this goal was attributed to Brusenthal. The inside pass was very beautiful, the timing was very good, and the ball was fed comfortably.
But Henry Bibby saw something else - Li Ao's second pass that went straight to the bottom line!
Just now Granville was flanked on a breakthrough and passed it to Li Ao on the left side of the free throw line. After receiving the ball, Li Ao immediately turned around and shot the ball quickly and accurately. It was sent to Brusenthal's hands, and the latter's second pass.
Did this kid see an opportunity to pass the baseline again?
Henry Bibby shook his head slightly. It might be a coincidence that Li Ao's passing and controlling ability during the trial was only at the level of playing among classmates.
But Li Ao's pass also left a deep impression on him.
Sam Clancy, to put it nicely, he dares to fight and never give up. To put it bluntly, he has a single mind.
It was Team B's turn to attack again, and Sam Clancy continued to ask for the ball and hit Li Ao alone.
Nate Hale's mentality was about to explode, so he just messed up and passed the ball immediately without hesitation.
Not surprisingly, Sam Clancy was closely attached to Li Ao even though he did not have an absolute advantage in strength.
Coming to a close distance, Sam Clancy saw Evanisco coming up from a double attack and failed to get past Li Ao. Sam Clancy was so angry that he threw his elbow at Li Ao and finally got space to throw the ball.
Sam Clancy's close shot felt pretty good. The ball hit the backboard and fell into the frame, but the referee's whistle had already sounded. Sam Clancy committed an offensive foul!
Sam Clancy opened his mouth and was about to roar at the referee to express his dissatisfaction when a slap came to his mouth, suppressing his voice, and the huge force knocked him over with his mouth and body!
Without leaving any overnight grudge, Li Ao, who was elbowed, counterattacked directly!
Fortunately, Evanisco hugged Li Ao directly. The latter's legs had been raised, and he almost kicked Sam Clancy's chest.
That position was exactly where Li Ao was thrown by an elbow just now.
Players from both teams gathered around, and the scene became commotion. People on the court next door also focused their attention here. They stopped and looked over, curious about what was going on.
Henry Bibby quickly walked into the court with a dark face and shouted: "That's enough, anyone who wants to fight will get out of here! You are not the only one missing from the team!"
Li Ao calmed down instantly.
Just now, he did overreact a little instinctively.
Sam Clancy, who got up after being slapped and wanted to fight back, also calmed down and was still a little scared.
Even though he is full of tendons, he is not good at fighting, and he seems to be arrogant and unreasonable, but in fact he is very timid. Even if he is teased by Shelby Jordan, he does not dare to take action.
"You two go down and calm down, Jeff, Brian, you go up..." After making arrangements, Henry Bibby shouted to the other people who gathered around to watch: "What are you looking at? Play your game!"
Everyone quickly dispersed to do what they were supposed to do.
…
Li Ao sat on a chair aside in annoyance and looked at Sam Clancy who was hiding in the opposite corner of the court. He regretted it so much.
Why is the instinctive reaction so strong?
Side effects of 'Fists are justice'!
You could have waited until no one was around to beat that guy up, but you subconsciously hit back, and now you're in trouble.
Brown on the side said to Henry Bibby: "Coach, don't be angry. You see, Leo has already regretted it."
Henry Bibby glanced at Li Ao and said, "He must regret it, regretting doing it in front of so many people."
"Ha, how is that possible..." Although Brown said this, he also felt the same way, and even guessed that if Li Ao retaliated directly, he might have chosen a place to beat him, which might be a small training ground.
He finally saw what Li Ao looked like when he got angry.
"Henry, it's normal for young people to be impulsive. Weren't you also young?" This is a standard behavior of Xavier Johnson who treats people wrongly.
Henry Bibby retorted: "I was impulsive when I was young, but I'm not a time bomb."
Sam Hayes said: "Henry, don't you think we are too soft?"
These words made Henry Bibby calm down and turned into surprise.
Xavier Johnson is a good old man and appreciates hard-working players, so he prefers Li Ao. Henry Bibby can understand this.
But Sam Hayes is famous for his weird personality, so he was kicked out of prestigious schools despite being so capable.
And it seems that Li Ao and Sam Hayes have a very bad relationship. According to Brown, Li Ao trained so hard on the defensive end because he wanted to slap Sam Hayes in the face. He felt that Sam Hayes Si looked down upon him.
Unexpectedly, Sam Hayes said 5 sentences today, 3 of which were to help Li Ao!
Henry Bibby was puzzled, where did this kid get such charm?
Or does Sam Hayes also think this kid is a genius?
But what Sam Hayes said made sense to him!
He murmured: "If we had players like Leo or Shelby in 1997, the other side wouldn't dare to do evil to Alex..."
When Xavier Johnson heard this, he thought of the first round of the 1997 NBA Finals, when they met the University of Illinois Warriors. Their strength was not weaker than theirs, and they played better in the first half, leading by 11 points entering the second half.
But in the second half, their frontline star Alex Ayuso repeatedly encountered flagrant fouls, and the opponent's actions became more and more aggressive. In the end, they were overturned in the second half and stopped in the first round.
Henry Bibby was convinced. He looked at Li Ao, who was still struggling, and became even more unhappy. He walked to the opposite corner and cursed Sam Clancy.
The reason is very good. Whoever strikes first is at fault.
Finally, Henry Bibby gave a piece of advice: "Don't be alone for a while. Find a companion when you come and go."
Sam Clancy, who was scolded so badly, said "Huh?" in confusion.
"That guy should be thinking about where to bury you."
Sam Clancy - Coach, don't scare me, I'm a coward!
On the court, Team A began to take the initiative.
If Sam Clancy is not playing alone, he is actually a good threat point. When there is no ball, he can use screens or seize the opportunity to run counterattack, which can greatly avoid the fact that his speed is not particularly good and give full play to his explosive advantage.
Without Sam Clancy, the White Mamba has fewer outside shooting opportunities.
As for Team A, Li Ao's sitting on the bench did not affect their overall strength. They had extra resources to make a profit by knocking down the opponent's strong forwards.
In the end, with Trey Paganier's two mid-range shots, Team A stretched the lead to 11 points and held on until the end, winning the team training match 104-93.
Although it is an intra-team game, just like playing basketball, the joy of playing basketball sometimes does not lie in the high level of the game, it is pure happiness. The players of Team A celebrated excitedly and shouted Li Ao.
Although they were a little worried about Li Ao taking action without saying a word, they were not the ones who were beaten, and it was Sam Clancy who was forced to act without showing sportsmanship.
Seeing that the head coach was in a much better mood after scolding him, Xavier Johnson said: "Henry, I think Sam is right. We need players like Leo."
Henry Bibby was furious when he heard this.
You are all good people, am I the only one who is evil?
Who arranged for you to give this boy special training!
Henry Bibby's face turned dark again and he walked over to the celebrating A team.
When the team members saw the head coach coming, they immediately backed away, leaving Li Ao alone.
The word loyalty is vividly reflected.
Henry Bibby severely reprimanded Li Ao for not being calm, and finally said: "Go back and write a review, at least 500 words, and leave it to me for Monday's training!"
His teammates expressed sympathy for Li Ao.
Except for a few individuals, most of the people on the basketball team did not perform well.
Most of the more than 50 players present were black, 80% of whom were students with sports talents, and some of them were admitted through the "black guaranteed quota".
A 500-word review will kill them!
And Li Ao was shocked!
Handle it with care, this is it!
Is it difficult to review something like that and report on the times when you enjoyed blessings in your previous life? Was it difficult to find ways to revise the paper after the "What is CNKI" incident?
500 word review?
Not to mention 500, 5000 is not a problem!
Moreover, the system prompt is coming!
Mission accomplished!
