Taking a few deep breaths, Li Ao finally recovered.
Vivian was still chattering non-stop and was very excited. Li Ao even heard someone cursing downstairs and quickly dragged the hospital assistant aunt into the house, disturbing the neighbors.
After entering the house, Li Ao went to the bedroom to get a change of clothes and a bath towel and entered the bathroom.
Vivian snorted when she heard the locking sound, and then laughed again.
Only then did she remember that Li Ao was sticky and even on her chin, so she quickly went back to the house to clean it up.
After a while, Li Ao, who had put on his nightgown, came to the door of the hospital assistant's house and knocked on the door. After getting a response, he entered the house and saw the hospital assistant's aunt talking on the phone.
Vivian put the phone on speakerphone and said, "Liam called, saying that he was chased and beaten by more than a dozen people."
Li Ao responded: "Since I can still call, it means I haven't been beaten to death, so I don't have to worry. Aunt Vivian, fortunately you didn't go to cheer. You didn't see the fight outside the Poly Arena. Too bad." It’s dangerous.”
An angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "I went to the scene to cheer for you! There are enemies all around. I cheered louder than dozens of people. I worked so hard and almost got beaten. Fortunately, I You ran so fast, but you didn’t even say a word of concern, and you only cared about your hospital assistant who didn’t even go to the scene?”
"Didn't I say I was worried? And I have confidence in you. If something happens, you will definitely run faster than a dog."
"That is, how can a dog outrun me... Wait, why do I feel like you are scolding me? Forget it, I'll go to the hospital first."
"Didn't you run away?"
"I ran away, but some kid threw a banana peel, causing me to fall, hit a bump on my forehead, and sprained my foot... Hehe, but the fall was worth it, I When I was holding on to the wall to go to the parking lot, I met a beautiful woman, mature and sexy. She saw me wearing our team's T-shirt and thought I was beaten by someone from UCLA, hehehe..."
As soon as Liam's second lewd laugh came from the phone, Vivian immediately pressed the hang up button.
"Leo, Liam is going to do things that adults can do. You are still young, so don't learn randomly."
Li Ao: (￣ェ￣;)
He is huge! Definitely bigger than Liam!
Ignoring the call from Liam, Vivian became excited again and said: "I had expected it. As long as we win, those unqualified people at UCLA will definitely cause trouble. As expected, fortunately there are Leo, you humiliated them well after the game, and the action of listening was so cool, but it’s a pity that little Lambir was an eyesore next to him, otherwise the picture would have been better."
My aunt still talks nicely!
The middle-aged handsome man knows nothing! I just scolded him and 'Little Ranbir' bloody.
"I also feel that little Ranbir has stolen my limelight. Do you want to beat him up again?"
"No, no, no, no. You are a foreigner. Beating those villains in public can deter them, but if you don't handle it well, some people will take advantage of it. It didn't matter if the college had money in the past, but now it has no money... You are all here Basketball team, don’t worry anymore, if someone wants to bully you now, the fans can beat him to death.”
"That's right, I can't hope for the academy, so I'd better think about a different celebration. Aunt Vivian, please help me think about it too!"
"Okay..." Vivian suddenly became excited again.
…
The Trojans started the season with 12 consecutive wins, tying the Pac10 League's longest winning streak in the past 12 seasons. The opponent they defeated was the Bruins, the king of college basketball, and the Trojans made headlines again.
The next opponent of the Trojans is the Huskies. The media directly believes that they have won 13 consecutive victories. Now the topic of speculation is whether the Trojans can win 14 consecutive victories when they play the University of Oregon Dukes away from home, and Next, we play the Berkeley University Golden State Bears...
In the Pac10 League, a winning streak longer than 14 consecutive victories can be traced back to the 1973-1974 season. Although the Bruins did not complete eight consecutive championships that year, they unfortunately failed to tie the Celtics' record for the most in North America's top basketball leagues. Long winning streak, but that season the Bruins started with 13 consecutive wins, increasing their 75-game winning streak at the end of last season to 88-game winning streak, setting a crazy winning streak record that was unprecedented in the NCAA. This thing made Kentucky Since then, he has not dared to hope to surpass it. It is already regarded as an unbreakable record like the NBA's 100 points in a single game.
After defeating the Bruins, the Trojans are expected to win the longest winning streak in the Pac10 League in 26 years!
This has attracted a certain amount of attention across the country. Currently, there are only 4 teams that remain undefeated. In addition to the Trojans, the other 3 teams are the Michigan State Spartans, the University of Kansas Predators, and the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Team.
However, most of the influence of these four teams' winning streak is still in the division where the team is located. The one with the highest influence across the United States is the American Athletic Association. This league is recognized as the most competitive league. Currently, there are There are 16 universities.
This division is also the only division that does not have to compete for spots after the civil war. The NCAA directly selects the top three divisions. The attention of the division stage games far exceeds that of other top leagues.
Just like putting the NBA, CBA, and multiple basketball leagues in Europe together, even if the NBA is ridiculed by jokes, as long as you are not a die-hard fan of a certain team in the CBA or those European leagues, you will still give priority to the NBA when watching live basketball games. .
No, the fight between fans of the Trojans and Bruins outside Pauley Arena was more popular across the country than the game between the Trojans and the Bruins that made headlines.
Playing ball is not as attractive as fighting.
In the eyes of Americans, this incident is not a vicious and violent incident.
If it were a city derby in Texas, a country with strong folk customs, not only would hundreds of people be taken away from the hospital, but fatalities would also be common.
However, when he heard that dozens of people from his school were still lying in the hospital, Li Ao blamed himself. His interviews before the game and his provocations after the game had somewhat contributed to the fights between fans.
However, the next morning, after Liam called and had a few words, he felt less guilty.
After morning jogging, making breakfast, having breakfast with the hospital assistant’s aunt, Li Ao hitched a ride to school.
He doesn't have to go to school this morning. Although last night's game was played in Los Angeles, he was still given a break for playing away games.
However, I attended classes as long as I could. Last semester, Liam’s grades were surpassed. I thought of my good brother’s show off face...study hard! Make progress every day!
When she arrived at school, Vivian could see an injured student from time to time, and her heart became heavier.
As a college assistant and a teacher, she still has a strong sense of responsibility.
For the fight last night, she, the hospital assistant, was not here. No one from their school's teachers or management would be held responsible. The general environment was like this.
But she still felt guilty.
Li Ao noticed something was wrong with the assistant's aunt's mood and asked, "Aunt Vivian, what's wrong?"
Vivian pointed to an injured person who was being supported in front of her and said: "Many people were injured last night. Look, he is wearing a plaster and using crutches, and he still comes to school. It's really..."
Li Ao interrupted: "It's so enviable."
Vivian: ⊙(・-・)?
"Aunt Vivian, haven't you heard? Those who were defeated in the fight last night were all school team heroes. I heard that according to the final statistics, there were hundreds of students in our school in the hospital wearing plasters and gauze, and thousands more. If a female classmate goes to the hospital to take care of them, then you don’t have to worry about their health... That’s not right, you should worry about it, the waist is also a part of the body.”
"..."
Vivian didn't know what to say. Anyway, most of the previous guilt and self-blame disappeared.
It's just... is it so outrageous?
But after seeing a certain object, I felt that what her Leo said must be true.
She saw Liam with his left arm and right leg in a cast! There was also someone helping me next to me, and she was a very mature woman at first glance.
When she looked at the 'injured' person who had moved her just now, she was almost attached to the female classmate who was supporting her.
There must be people who are really injured, but this group of guys definitely are not!
…
Fan fights are a thing of the past for Li Ao.
He will be worried and uneasy, but he will not regard it as a psychological burden.
This kind of thing happens all the time, why don't we stop playing ball?
It's time to go to class, and it's time to train after school in the afternoon.
At 4:30 p.m., Xavier Johnson began special mid-range shooting training for Li Ao.
Li Ao is full of motivation!
When he was able to consistently hit catch-and-shoot shots during games, his motivation to train became even stronger.
The next mid-range shooting training goal is to reach 80 in hard mid-range shooting strength!
Xavier Johnson said: "The content of today's special training is to catch the ball and stop for a jump shot. First, we must practice catching the ball and turning after the emergency stop..."
Emergency stop jump shot! Li Ao has wanted to develop this for a long time, but he has a problem.
"Emergency stop + catch + turn? Practice together?"
"Yes, integrating emergency stop + catching + turning + shooting is a truly complete running catch and shoot. You are not the main offensive point yet. The chances of catching and shooting are usually better, but the team is getting more and more The more attention you pay to your offense, the more your opponents will pay more attention to you. Next, you need to improve your ability to quickly throw the ball after running to the catching and shooting position."
"Oh, I understand. When I first learned to catch and shoot, I just had to stand in a fixed position, wait for the ball to come over and shoot directly, so I only practiced basic shooting skills at first.
Then I needed to move, so I trained my ability to catch the ball while moving.
Later, my opponents no longer gave me the opportunity to easily catch and shoot, so I gradually developed catch-and-turn shooting, emergency stop, catch-and-turn shooting..."
Li Ao went through the entire learning process of catching and shooting. He was wondering if by integrating emergency stops into catching and shooting, he could upgrade the training method of catching and shooting to level 3?
Thinking of this, he became more motivated. If he really reaches level 3, his mid-range shooting training efficiency will exceed 200%!
That way, he wouldn't be so worried about the big bottleneck that he didn't know when it would come.
He is indeed the best shooting coach who is good at laying the foundation. Even if he didn't know whether he had talent at the beginning, he laid the foundation for him steadily from the beginning.
Xavier Johnson was very satisfied when he heard the learning process sorted out by Li Ao.
I like to teach such smart kids, and when I coach other people in the team, I really have the kind of thing that I can't understand no matter what I say, and I often make him half-dead.
"Now start training. You run out from the basket, make a half circle to the free throw line, stop and catch the ball."
Li Ao followed the instructions and started the first training.
He ran with all his strength and stopped suddenly when he came to the free throw line... "Pa"... When the trainer passed the ball to him, he hit the ball with the back of his hand and slapped the ball away...
"Stop!" Xavier Johnson said: "You have to find a suitable speed that can ensure the stability of your catch. You have to understand the purpose of an emergency stop. It is not to simply take a quick shot, but to control the rhythm. You have to imagine , after you move, you have attracted the defensive attention of two people, one is the player chasing you, and the other is the defensive player in the zone defense, how to prevent them from interfering with your shot."
After listening, Li Ao thought for a while and nodded to express his understanding.
Xavier Johnson was very satisfied. He knew that this child had an outstanding face and would not pretend to understand when it came to learning. If he didn't understand, he would definitely keep asking.
He continued: "The mid-range emergency stop to catch and shoot is very different from the three-pointer. Even if it is a 3-2 zone defense, two people will not be allowed to block a three-pointer. In that case, the zone defense will collapse, but if the mid-range shooter is blocked If the opponent pays attention to it, it will inevitably attract the defense of two people. It is difficult to get a chance simply by relying on speed. If your running mid-range shot is taken seriously by the opponent, it is actually difficult to get a real open shooting opportunity. You must make good use of the rhythm of emergency stops to let the opponent take the chance. Even if the other party makes up for it well, it won't really interfere with you..."
Xavier Johnson's explanation was much more detailed than the "Basics of Basketball" that Li Ao read from the library. That book was like a history textbook, only giving a rough outline and mixed with private information.
Li Ao broke away from the restless emotions, calmed down, followed the steps step by step, and devoted himself to the training of running and stopping to catch the ball again and again.
The practice lasted for half an hour, repeatedly performing these boring movements, having to focus on analyzing what speed was most suitable, and constantly trying... Even he could hardly stand it anymore.
However, Xavier Johnson controlled the training rhythm very well. When Li Ao just felt impatient, he ended the boring basic training and started training on basic catching, mid-range and shooting skills, turning and shooting, etc.
Developing a new shooting method cannot be achieved overnight. He will not cram it all in. Li Ao must be given time to absorb it.
In the early stages of training, you must strictly control the time and grasp the trainer's emotions in order to achieve the best efficiency. This is the same as learning. Blindly cramming will lead to rebellious psychology in most cases.
…
The next day, Friday, school was over after class in the morning, and there was no class in the afternoon.
But instead of going for extra practice, Li Ao flew to San Francisco with Vivian and Liam to attend a fan's birthday party tonight.
It was a bit of a waste of time, but he felt particularly happy after attending classes, training, and playing games every day, and occasionally taking a break.
"Liam, do you know Joshua or do you know his girlfriend Anna?"
"I do not know."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Party, parting, I like lying. You finally made a new friend, and I want to see who he is."
"They're not really friends. They're my fans and they're Aunt Vivian's neighbors. I only went there because of Aunt Vivian's reputation."
"Oh...that doesn't matter."
Vivian on the side interjected: "Leo, it's because you always attract a group of girls around you when you go to parties, and he has the opportunity to find the target he likes."
Liam said angrily: "I still need to rely on him to attract girls? I'm much more handsome than him, right?"
Vivian asked back: "Am I right?"
Liam responded: "No, you're right."┐(´∇｀)┌
Li Ao: (￣┏＿┓￣)
Vivian:-.-convex
