The evaluation he received on the court - although his ability is simple, his playing style is mature and his golf IQ is high. The most dazzling thing is that he improves very quickly!
Some media sorted out his performance changes in the 18 games since entering the NCAA. In 4 months, his performance seemed to have transformed!
Some people compare him with Dameng and Stone Buddha.
What's even more exaggerated is that when comparing his speed of progress with these two, many people think he wins.
The two did have better statistics in their freshman season, but they relied more on height and athletic ability. Before playing basketball, the two were already athletes in high school.
What the two showed in their freshman seasons was more talent than progress. Both of them were adapting to their conditions in their freshman seasons, and the team's record could not be said to be outstanding.
Li Ao's side is different. He "started from scratch" and progressed to serve as the core support and important scorer of a winning team in the division, becoming an indispensable member.
Although as a team that plays as a team, every main player of the Trojans is indispensable, but his importance is definitely at the forefront.
There is another point that he didn't expect and was praised by people - less dribbling time.
After 18 games, he averaged 24 minutes per game, averaged 21 dribbles per game, and averaged less than 1 dribble per minute!
In last night's game against the Cardinals, he dribbled the ball only 6 times.
Against opponents like the Cardinals and Dukes, he can almost not dribble without dribbling. After catching the ball, he quickly makes a decision whether to shoot or support, or to protect the ball and pass it to his teammates who come to respond.
At this point, he found that his views were completely different from others.
It's purely because he hasn't received much ball-handling training, his ball-handling ability is stuck beyond the good level of 69, and he doesn't have the confidence to dribble, so he doesn't dribble as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, it became a merit that was praised.
Needless to say, seeing this number of dribbles, he felt very powerful. Others were non-stick pans, but he was non-stick balls.
But off-site reviews...
It's nothing more than those things. The things that get the most criticism are fights and chaos in private life.
Those who used these things to attack him were not that drastic in the past.
But now it has escalated directly to a personal attack.
Even storytellers appeared. Some people said that his sister was abandoned by him after sleeping with him, and now she has jade syndrome. The poor little fairy's life has been ruined.
Everything else was fine. When he saw this, he put on his schoolbag and opened a small number, and replied - you should care about your mother, she is also mature.
At noon, Henry Bibby, who had received the division championship bonus, generously invited the whole team to have dinner at the Grand Hotel in San Jose. Vivian and Liam also went to have a meal.
The Trojans returned to Los Angeles in the afternoon. They had a day off today, but they returned to school as soon as possible to enjoy the popularity of their classmates and have some fun with everyone.
After a noisy day, he returned to the apartment at night, took a shower, lay down, and calmed down. He reflected on the wonderful 24 hours in the past. He enjoyed it very much.
But he knows that if he wants to continue to enjoy such glory, he must continue to win!
In the world of sports competition, glory is hard to come by, but it goes quickly.
Opening the system, he looked at the achievement points in the upper right corner.
In last night's game, he scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and scored 190 achievement points.
Double kill the Cardinals and get 500 achievement points.
The 'Dark Horse Rush' is all over, with 18 consecutive wins and 9,000 achievement points.
Complete victory to lock in the top three spots in advance and get the highest reward of 5,000 achievement points.
In the civil war stage of the division, he won 18 games and obtained 3,600 achievement points.
Including the original 5,235 achievement points, the current achievement points have reached 23,525!
He estimated that there were so many, which would probably be enough for summer, right?
If it’s not enough, I’ll probably save a lot more in the next competition.
As usual, as the first place in the division, they have locked in the top three spots in advance. In the next three weeks, they will play 9 games.
The opponents will not be teams from the six top divisions, but other small divisions or independent teams that participate in different leagues every year. His data may be better and he will get more achievement points.
It would be better if it could trigger a task or something.
In addition to the bumper harvest of achievement points last night, he also got the reward of the 'Victory' mission - a level 3 skill upgrade card.
There are currently two level 2 skills, 'Transition Expert' and 'Catch and Shoot Expert'.
After some hesitation, he decided not to upgrade the 'Transit Expert'.
The biggest role of this skill is to improve his passing accuracy in the early stage, but his current passing has reached 78, and the rate of improvement is still very fast. The strongest bonus of this skill will become less and less effective.
In addition, he has become accustomed to the "non-ball" style of play and does not serve as the main pointer. Temporarily raising it to 85 is enough.
In comparison, the 'catch-and-shoot specialist' initially wasn't very effective, but now it's becoming more and more effective.
He gave the command in his mind, and the system prompt came.
"The host uses the level 3 skill upgrade card to upgrade the skill: catch and shoot expert, which has been upgraded from level 2 to level 3."
"Catch and shoot expert level 3: 1. When the host catches the ball and shoots, mid-range shot +3, three-pointer +3; 2. When the host catches the ball and shoots, the host has basic skills such as retreat, step, and lateral movement, which will reduce the risk of shooting. The influence of force, the stronger the ability to connect basic functions, the stronger the effect; 3. The 10% probability of catching and shooting makes it easier to find the feeling of shooting."
Li Ao felt a little regretful that he did not continue to receive a hard bonus to his shooting ability.
However, the description of the second effect has changed, from 'slightly reduced' to 'reduced'. This change is very important, and the effect is reflected in every shot.
As his basic skills in catching and shooting are getting stronger and stronger, his role is getting stronger and stronger, and the feeling is obvious.
As for the third newly added bonus... the 10% probability is very mysterious. I wonder if it is like Lua Lu, after 9 consecutive times without a critical hit, the 10th time will definitely be a critical hit, and this is not a critical hit. , it’s just easier to find the shooting feel.
Anyway, it seems quite useless at the moment. Judging from his current number of shots, the effect is definitely not as good as 'Perfect Warm-up Level 1'.
But 'Perfect Warm-up' is a separate skill, and this bonus is only one of the bonuses of 'Catch and Shoot Expert', and there is still two levels of room for improvement, so it cannot be generalized.
After upgrading his skills, his eyes returned to the achievement point of 23,000.
My heart is itching, and my dog-betting mentality is back again.
"Once, just draw once, system, let's start the draw!"
The system switched to the lottery interface, and a white light flashed...
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: professional knife skills.
Professional knife skills: When the host practices professional cooking knife skills, it will quickly reach the level of professional knife skills. When the host makes dishes, it can smoothly display the knife skills for plate decoration, which will increase the appetite of the eater. "
()
Is this really the time to open a store?
It's really convenient to also show off my knife skills.
He fell into deep thought - is this a reward based on hobbies?
If I had known earlier, I would have liked to study how to print money... Well, that hobby seems like a crime.
Forget it, it’s not bad to improve your cooking skills, it will add more fun to life.
It looks like there are still 22,000 achievement points left...
(*`*)
One shot, just one shot!
A white light flashed...
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1 level 2 skill upgrade card fragment."
Sure enough, it should be smoked, two pieces are broken!
Again!
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: a shaking shaker.
Shaking shaker: The host will quickly reach a professional level when learning to mix drinks. "
convex
"I'm not old enough to drink...can I be a bartender if I'm not old enough to drink?"
…
Seal the remaining 20,000 achievement points and don't waste them anymore, otherwise it may affect the training efficiency during the offseason.
I had a day of classes on Friday, and on Saturday, the pac10 league headquarters university announced the awards for this season.
After being shortlisted, Li Ao learned about the voting mechanism of this award.
The head coaches of 10 universities, who cannot vote for their own schools, invited 20 experts from the media, announcers, commentators and other industries, 10 NCAA officials, and 10 head coaches from other divisions, a total of 50 people. Each person has one vote for the individual award, and each player of the All-NBA or All-Defensive Team gives a specific lineup for the first and second teams...very simple voting rules.
White Mamba averaged 19.5 points, 6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 48.3% from the field, 44.2% from three-point range, and 86% from free throws. With a record of 18 wins and 0 losses, he beat teammate Grant. Ware won the MVP.
After decades, the Trojans once again had a player win the Pac10 MVP.
Rookie of the Year...was won by No. 0 of the Wildcats, who received 24 votes.
The second place was Jacobson of the Cardinals with 13 votes, Li Ao ranked third with 11 votes, and the remaining two votes were won by Kapono of the Bruins.
The best defensive player was won by Mark Madsen of the Cardinals, who averaged 12 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.
Shelby Jordan lost to Mark Madsen by 6 votes.
In terms of the best team, Granville and White Mamba were both selected to the first team.
At the same time, Granville also won the Most Improved Player Award. From averaging 5+ assists per game last season to averaging 9.22 assists per game this season, he won the assists title in the division. With the improvement in record, he successfully won the fastest Progress Award.
However, although he currently ranks first in the NCAA in assists per game, the NCAA assists king is not calculated in this way. All subsequent games in the "Quota Competition" stage and the crazy three stages must be counted.
The All-Defensive Team, Shelby Jordan was selected again, and this time he was in the first team. As Li Ao expected, he was also selected into the All-Defensive Team, but he was in the second team.
The best coach was won by Henry Bibby. This is the least suspense. It will basically be given to the team with the best record every year.
But one award was unexpected!
Li Ao averaged 11.44 points, 2.39 rebounds, 3.28 assists, 1.16 steals, 0.78 blocks, 49% field goal percentage, and 87% free throw percentage in 18 games. He won the best sixth man in the Pac10 league this season!
Beating Jerome Moiso, who averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds per game, and Brusenthal, who averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game.
And he had a huge advantage in votes. He got 31 votes, which was higher than the White Mamba who won the MVP with 28 votes.
Bruins coach Steve LaVine, who voted for Li Ao, said in an interview: "Leo's role in the Trojans is irreplaceable. When he plays, the Trojans' offense can always be improved to the highest level. level."
Li Ao did not expect to receive this award, but he was naturally very happy.
When he and his teammates attended the press conference to receive the award in the afternoon, he couldn't stop the smile on his lips. He could only try his best to smile beautifully and not be a fool.
Of the 6 individual awards, the Trojans won 4, and 4 people were selected to the All-NBA Team or the All-Defensive Team. Not only him, but everyone on the team was grinning from ear to ear at the press conference. Everyone was honored. !
…
A few happy days passed, and on Sunday, the Trojans began training to prepare for the game.
Li Ao personally trained at a normal pace for the next two days except Thursday. While the impression of the game was still deep, he took the time to strengthen training on the shortcomings exposed in the Cardinals game.
In his opinion, opponents like the Cardinals are very suitable for training. Every time they play against each other, he can learn where he falls short.
This deficiency refers to the areas where he does not do well in his abilities.
The teammates had a good rest for two days.
Fortunately, when everyone gathered today, he saw that every one of his teammates was still full of energy and did not become discouraged or slack off just because they had won the competition.
When Berkeley announced the awards yesterday, they also announced each team's upcoming schedule.
Curiosity makes people’s heads grow bigger.
Li Ao went to learn about the schedule rules of Crazy Three...it was a headache, complicated and messy.
There are as many as 34 NCAA Division I leagues this year, and there are also independent teams.
Except for the first dozen or so games, the NCAA officially set the schedule, and then everyone went their own way.
After the winter break at the end of January, the schedules of each league have been independently drawn up. The six top leagues, except for the Pac10 League and the Big 12 League, which have only 10 teams, continue to maintain two games a week. The other four top leagues All have been changed to three games a week.
Therefore, when it comes to the competition for places, the schedules of the Pac10 League and the Big 12 League will be more compact than those of the other four top leagues.
He doesn't care about how other leagues arrange their schedules, just focus on himself.
As the number one player in the division, they only need to play 9 games next, but the schedule is very intensive. What follows is a wave of 5 games in 9 days!
The good news is that the competition arrangement in the quota competition phase is similar to that in the Madness III phase, with several teams competing in the same arena.
The Trojans are the host for the next five games. The games will be played at Memorial Stadium and there is no need to go to other cities.
The opponents are the top 5 schools in the Pacific Athletic Conference, 4 of which are in California.
They are the University of California, Santa Barbara Gauchos, the University of San Diego Aztecs, the California State Polytechnic University West Broncos, the California State University Bucksfield Roadrunners, and non-California schools-Bo ISU Idaho Broncos.
The Pacific Sports League does not have the privilege of locking in the top three spots for the first place. This league is a minor league. Although there are 13 universities, the overall strength is weak. It is not even sure how many members there will be every season. Every university wants to change jobs. A stronger league.
