We fought for 3 rounds, ended hastily, and even started beating someone, which had an extremely bad impact.
There was no chance for the next big roster selection and he was kicked out directly.
He also suffered cruel punishments that frightened the entire society.
But being driven back to the small training ground to continue special training, Li Ao was in a better mood.
"Newcomers see:
Goal: Surprise the coach and teammates with a performance in this team training match. (completed)
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 primary lottery draw. "
Looking back now, it was a blessing in disguise that Sam Clancy angered him and his instinctive reaction was to fight back.
Looking back on those rounds, he felt that he had done a good job, directly killing the opponent's momentum in the first few minutes before the end of the first half.
Xavier Johnson, who came to the small training ground together, also praised him: "You performed very well today and defended very well. I didn't expect you to be so strong. You can even withstand Sam. No wonder you just practiced shooting." The strength has always been too strong."
Li Ao responded disdainfully: "He just looks tough, but he's actually a weakling. It's easy to deal with him... But I won't be able to do it after a few more rounds. I still need to practice hard."
Xavier Johnson admired Li Ao for his unforgiving mouth but also his wit. He smiled and said: "We all see your progress. Don't think Henry doesn't give you a good look. In fact, he cares about you here." I’m very satisfied with the turning point in the game.”
Is that middle-aged handsome man satisfied?
can not tell.
Li Ao said: "That's not important. I'd better train hard. Without more than a month of hard work, I wouldn't have been able to play those rounds. The opportunity is not very good now. I'm just waiting for the opportunity to come. I just had a defensive performance." , There is no performance at all in shooting, Xavier, you are behind Sam this time."
Xavier Johnson pretended to be angry: "It seems that the amount of training I arranged for you is not big enough!"
Seeing that Li Ao is more enthusiastic about training, Xavier Johnson is also more motivated.
If Li Ao can really be trained, regardless of personal relationships, just talking about his career resume will be another highlight!
…
I practiced shooting in the morning and continued to practice defense in the afternoon. The mid-range shooting training reached a qualified level, but the defensive training was still unqualified.
Li Ao didn't know whether it was calculated based on the judgment of the coach in charge or the system's judgment. Anyway, every time he saw 'unqualified', he would want to work harder the next time he trained.
Although the coaching staff did not arrange training for him on Sunday, after the afternoon training, he still spent 100 achievement points to use the body's physical therapy function, then ate two burgers and put them on a mat before going home for physical therapy and cooking.
After you 'enjoy' the joy of having no negative feedback from your body on the second day of training, you can never go back. If you have shooting training, use it when you get the chance.
The disadvantage is that the accumulation speed of achievement points has dropped by half compared to before.
After a busy day, Li Ao was a little excited when he returned to the room.
First draw!
Wash yourself off, change into white pajamas specially designed for the lottery, sit on the bed with your heart in the sky, and let your mind calm down.
Whether this operation has any effect on the lottery, he probably has no idea, but Lu Xun said it well, life must have a sense of ritual.
After sitting down to meditate, he didn't feel much else, but his legs were numb.
Smoke it!
Li Ao issued a command in his heart, and the system screen appeared, reaching the lottery interface.
A white light flashed, and just when he was wondering why it was not the purple light from before, the system prompt came.
"The host is drawing a lottery for the first time. Today's drawing will bring you good luck... Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 1 level 2 skill upgrade card fragment.
Level 2 skill upgrade card fragments: 3 fragments can be combined into a complete skill upgrade card, and a level 1 skill can be designated to be upgraded to level 2. "
Is this a good reward? Li Ao was not sure whether this was easy to obtain or not. It did not have special markings like attribute points.
But what he cares more about now is 'good luck in the first day's draw'.
The feeling of regret couldn’t stop coming out!
This effect would be great if it were drawn at an intermediate or advanced level! The probability of winning something good is definitely higher!
"Forget it, forget it, there is no way to wait for a lottery opportunity. The entry-level lottery requires 1,000 achievement points, and the intermediate and advanced levels are only three to five thousand? Now I don't have the capital to survive slowly. If there is hope, I can get it this year. The ball must be the first target... I still have 2100 achievement points, can I try again with good luck?"
Once this idea came up, I couldn’t stop it and started spending on impulse!
I issued a command in my heart, 1,000 achievement points were deducted, and a white light flashed across the system screen...
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a book related to mental endurance: "The Most Inspiring Genius, Draymond Green's Dream"."
"..."
Li Ao looked at the prompts on the screen, and then looked at the extra book in his hand. He was speechless at first, and then his facial features gathered...
"What a rip-off! I can buy a book of inspirational chicken soup literature from a street stall for 2.5 yuan. Do I need a lottery?"
Heartbroken to the point of bleeding!
Decisively shut down the system, wash up and go to bed! If you spend the last 1,100 achievement points, you will be completely destitute.
…
The next day, Sunday, early in the morning, Liam came to Li Ao's apartment with a pile of breakfast.
Li Ao had no other plans today, and Liam's father didn't ask him to do any extra study, so they made an appointment to play games together.
I wanted to go to the arcade, but it was almost full on Sundays and there were long queues for everything, so I chose to play console games at Li Ao's house.
Since Li Ao joined the school team, the two spent less time playing together in their spare time. Originally, Liam often had to go home for education.
But Liam didn't complain that Li Ao focused on basketball, just like Li Ao didn't complain that Liam often had to go home for education.
Seeing that he had eaten too much, Li Ao went to wake up Vivian too.
When she heard that Liam was coming, Vivian was not in a very happy mood. She could dress well and go out of the room to feast her eyes on the good boy, but not others.
But seeing so many delicious foods, she instantly felt that Liam was much more pleasing to the eye.
However, this pleasant feeling did not last long. After eating and drinking, she became dissatisfied with the playboy again, so she asked her sisters to go shopping and left the big TV in the living room for Li Ao to play games.
Liam has long been used to this. There are many people who envy him and many who dislike him. Among those who dislike him, Vivian is the best.
After playing games all morning, Li Ao called and ordered some food. It was Liam's treat in the morning, and now it's Li Ao's turn.
Li Ao's treat was just a quick meal, but Liam didn't mind it either.
While waiting for lunch, Liam took out his mobile phone to send a text message. Li Ao was amazed by the speed of touch typing without being affected by turning his head and talking.
Li Ao took out the 'Inspirational Chicken Soup Literature' he had drawn last night from his schoolbag. He had drawn everything, so he had to take a look at it.
After reading a few pages, he felt that if there was such a book in the future, he would probably find someone to write it himself.
The entire article is full of self-praise, and it’s better than bragging about Lance Stephenson.
But the description is indeed very inspiring, and if it is seen by Yilin and readers, it can be used to deceive people.
Liam saw Li Ao reading again and thought that this guy was secretly working hard behind his back. He came over to take a look, but the result was different from what he thought. It seemed to be reading from a street stall.
Liam asked: "How did you start reading this...is he inspirational?"
Li Ao struggled for a moment and responded: "That's right, but after I got to know him, my impression of him is that he is smart."
"How smart? Smarter than the two of us?"
"Well... to put it simply, in order to get more money, he first slandered the colleague who helped him become famous and forced him to leave. In order to keep him, the company had to give him more money and renew his contract; later he As he got older, his business ability began to decline, but his business ability was still excellent. At this time, his contract was about to expire, so he found trouble and beat up his younger brother who had always regarded him as his elder brother. This younger brother was also very talented. After being beaten, he didn’t want to stay anymore, and his company had to spend more money to keep the two of them together..."
"..." Liam looked embarrassed. He held it back for a while and said, "It's really smart. I need to pay attention in the future. My company can't have people like this... That's not right. Resources must be used rationally. Listen to your description. This guy is a talent... Let me think about it..."
Li Ao didn't expect that his random nonsense would make Liam think so much.
I am starting to behave like a capitalist!
Not long after, lunch arrived. After the two had lunch, they discussed it and decided to go to a nearby park to play ball.
Park + basketball court, a standard feature of a city with a good basketball atmosphere in the United States. The basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles has always been very good because there is UCLA and the Lakers here.
The two of them arrived relatively early, and there happened to be four people playing 2V2. Waiting for others to arrive, they went straight to the field and started playing.
But this time during the game, the two of them almost got into a fight with someone else.
Li Ao, who has received professional basketball training, likes intensity when defending.
When playing baba ball, there is usually no defense. It looks exciting to defend, but it is basically just a show, blocking a block and directly shooting or attacking.
Li Ao's current defensive intensity quickly aroused dissatisfaction from the opponent.
Moreover, his intensity is different from that of ordinary quasi-professional players. Sam Hayes made some adjustments in the confrontation training based on his characteristics and the questions he asked...
I was originally planning to play for two hours, but ended up playing less than 10 balls.
Seeing Li Ao becoming more professional in playing ball, Liam was a little regretful, but also happy.
He is a playboy, but he has a lot of experience and a very good family education. He knows that as he grows older, some things will be 'irreversible', so he easily accepts this kind of thing.
As for playing, there are many things that can be played. If you can’t play Baba ball, then you can play CS online. What a big deal.
As for Li Ao, this time he discovered that his mentality had begun to change——
He desires to play at a higher level!
…
A new week has arrived, and after another day of hard study, Li Ao rushed to the Memorial Gym before four o'clock in the afternoon.
As expected, he was not included in the team's training match this afternoon.
But Henry Bibby had other plans for him.
"From today on, you have to come to training every day except Sundays."
Upon hearing this arrangement, Li Ao's first reaction was to say something - you are targeting me again.
It was an instinctive reaction, an instinctive reaction, but he then thought that this might be because he was being taken more seriously.
Just like the 'resources' that Liam always talks about, the team's assistant coach's time is a precious resource for the team. If it is used on him, the resources for others will be much less.
Seeing that Li Ao didn't complain, Henry Bibby was unhappy. He had already thought of his words to reply!
This guy always doesn't play by the rules!
He snorted and continued: "Although the number of training days has increased, the daily special training has been shortened to one hour. After the special training on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, if you still want to train on your own, you can train on your own on Monday and Wednesday." After the special training, come and practice defense with the main players."
Practice defense? Li Ao asked: "You are supposed to be a sparring partner! You are really smart. If you let me work for nothing, coach, when did you become a capitalist?"
"I don't want you to go home directly after training!" Henry Bibby yelled directly.
But Li Ao had already turned around and ran towards the gym. Henry Bibby couldn't find a place to express his anger.
Such a good thing, those players who have no chance to make the squad are eager for it. When it comes to this kid's mouth... He remembered a Chinese proverb he heard Dean Teng say - ivory cannot spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!
At this moment, Henry Bibby heard someone quarreling, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Sam Clancy again.
In anger, he quickly stepped forward and began to curse.
Sam Clancy was confused. Wasn't it just a quarrel? What day does he not have some friction with his teammates? Why was he scolded so badly this time?
Eh?
Why again?
Today is another sad day for 'innocent' Sam Clancy.
On Li Ao's side, after practicing mid-range shooting for an hour, today's special training is over.
Today he failed to exceed the training target because there was only so much training time, so he did not get the 50 achievement points for overfulfillment.
Fortunately, he is now able to achieve acceptable performance in shooting training, he still has 50 achievement points, and the 'physical therapy function' can also be used.
But the next defensive training is probably going to be boring...
Fortunately, the brain twitching the day before yesterday was not so severe, and I have more than a thousand achievement points left.
He didn't think about it anymore and walked quickly to the main training ground excitedly. He could be a sparring partner today!
Xavier Johnson followed for a few steps, then gave up, muttering: "Young people have good physical strength, but we should also take care of the bitterness of middle-aged men."
Li Ao came to the main training ground and went straight to Henry Bibby.
He glanced at it and saw that there were 23 players, most of whom were from Team A and Team B last Saturday, but not all the players from Team AB were there. Some of them should be from other teams that performed well in the last intra-team training match.
By the way, I also played a 20-minute regular training match today, which must be based on today's performance.
He found that other teammates who were training on basic skills were not in high spirits.
Humanity always shone brightly, and he felt like he was no longer alone.
As soon as Li Ao arrived, Sam Clancy looked at him with cannibalistic eyes, but he chose to ignore it.
Bai Mamba paid attention to the relationship between the two. He was relieved when he saw that Li Ao had no special expression, but when he saw Sam Clancy...
This guy, the scar is so healed that he forgets the pain!
Not a lesson learned at all!
White Mamba can only lament that the team is really difficult to lead.
Henry Bibby saw everyone had arrived and said: "We will start training in groups, with four people in groups, and two in the group will conduct one-on-one training on offense and defense to strengthen individual one-on-one abilities."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the 23 teammates were focused on Li Ao, their eyes full of resistance, almost saying 'I don't want to be in a group with Leo' written directly on their faces.
Henry Bibby saw this and said angrily: "The team is afraid of training, what will we do if we meet the bad guys from other teams?"
Li Ao glared at Henry Bibby, does this classify him as a 'villain'?
Not to mention being careless, is this still his head coach?
Well, it seems like the relationship has always been bad.
Forget it, he is the head coach, he is just a sparring partner.
Feeling Li Ao's anger, Henry Bibby was in a good mood and said: "Don't worry, each of you can compete with him during training 6 days a week."
The teammates couldn't help but curse when they heard the words. They felt the coach's bad taste!
A primary school math problem flashed through Li Ao's mind, and he interjected: "Coach, you made a mistake. Six training sessions are not enough for me to match up with each of them. There will be at least five more people."
No one reacted at once, including Henry Bibby. He resisted the urge to break his fingers, and the elation he finally felt turned into anger for the first time, and shouted: "I know you Chinese are good at math!
Hurry up and group up! Brian, David, Sam, you three team up with him! "
The others were temporarily relieved. Although White Mamba and Brusenthal were called, they still didn't want to confront Li Ao. Although they had a good relationship with Li Ao, this guy was decisive, but since they were called, they also Not afraid.
Sam Clancy was so excited that he could finally take revenge for the last time!
Li Ao felt that someone was retaliating against him because of his poor math skills.
The three best shooters, the most skilled, and the strongest in the frontcourt were all assigned to him, and they were all taller than him!
At this time, the task prompt comes!
"Excellent sparring partner:
Goal: The host needs to go all out in defensive training and give the coaching staff the help they need most.
Rewards: 50 achievement points are awarded for qualified performance, 100 achievement points are awarded for excellent performance, and 200 achievement points are awarded for successful defense. Each opponent is calculated separately. "
