King of shooting guards

Chapter 170 Challenge
He looked at Li Changgeng, smiled wryly and said, "Li, I don't think you should cause trouble."

"I don't lose and cause trouble, I just go to find someone to compete with. You know, it is very rare to meet a master who can be evenly matched, and it can also improve me." Li Changgeng said with a smile, "Although today's Lovak lost to It killed me, but the strength is not bad, it would be great if there is someone more powerful than him. I am already excited, Lucas, are those places far away? How about we go there now?"

"This..." Lucas said with a wry smile, speechless, "Forget it, it's too late today."

Lucas already regretted a little, regretted bringing Li Changgeng here today.

Thinking that he might go to other places with Li Changgeng in the future, Lukas suddenly felt that the future was bleak, and he was full of worries.However, in addition to being worried, he found himself a little excited and also a little looking forward to it. He felt that he was being carried away!

Next, Li Changgeng started his daily routine training, while Lucas was kicked out of the court by him, he still prefers to practice alone.

The next day, Qiao Dan and Li came to find Li Changgeng, and the three of them went out to have a meal together. Things on his side had been settled, and Xiaoli was going back to China.

After dinner, Xiaoli told Li Changgeng that she could call him if there was anything to do, then got into Jordan's car and rushed to the airport.

Watching the car go away, Li Changgeng suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. Once Li left, he was really the only one left here!
"Well, let's just be alone, and you'll get used to it after a long time." Li Changgeng shook his head, turned around and waved for a taxi.

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In uclA, in the basketball hall, twelve Bruins players are training.

"Redick, you have to be quicker, cut quickly after the pick-and-roll." Coach Majoro shouted to the players on the sidelines, "And Paul, run and run, the route must be reasonable, not after receiving the ball. Hesitate, don't waste such a good assist from Lee."

The field is not a team practice game, but a half-court tactical training. Li Changgeng is still on the same team as Redick, Harris, Johnson, and Paul.

In the past month, Li Changgeng has fully proved his ability. In training, he has always been able to do a good job as a point guard, mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, and send suitable passes to his teammates at the right time and in the right place. The ball, unpretentious, but just right.

In addition, he also showed everyone his three-point ability. Once he has the opportunity, he can always make a shot, which can be called a cold-blooded killer.

But for some reason, Coach Majoro always put him on the bench, usually calling him and Redick together.

This made O'Neill a lot happier, and he often showed off in front of Li Changgeng, like saying, "See, I'm the main point guard, and you're just a substitute."

Li Changgeng was also a little puzzled about this, but at least his mentality didn't fluctuate.

Li Changgeng had anticipated many situations when he came to the United States, and had already prepared for the worst, so he was able to maintain a normal mind.

What's more, he didn't have the mood and energy to care about these things.

During this month, besides training with the team, Li Changgeng also went to the Marmalade Stadium for training in the morning and evening.As time went on, he continued to grow in strength, and this improvement made him feel good and fulfilled.

In addition, during this month, under the leadership of Lucas, he would go to an unfamiliar stadium almost every few days.After a month, he has picked 8 courses, and except for one that was a little dangerous, all the others were easily won.

In this process, Li Changgeng also encountered many masters, at least the strength of the bosses in these 8 courses is much stronger than that of Lovak.

Competing with masters, competing with people who are older, more experienced, and physically fitter than himself is a test for Li Changgeng, and he has learned a lot from it.

One is strength. Li Changgeng found that by constantly challenging the field and fighting against other people, his strength improved much faster than before.

The other is the style of play. The people here are generally of excellent physical fitness, and their style of play is tough. After playing against them a lot, Li Changgeng's style of play has also become much stronger, which has allowed Li Changgeng to adapt to the game faster. The team quickly adapted to the city's style of play.

The improvement in ability and gradual adaptation made Li Changgeng's mentality more and more peaceful, and he was too lazy to argue with O'Neill.

In fact, Li Changgeng is very clear that to gain a firm foothold in the team, to become the main force, and to gain the approval of his teammates, the key is ability.As for ability, it can be shown in normal training, but it cannot be proved. To prove one's ability and be recognized by others, only in the competition.

Therefore, Li Changgeng is not in a hurry, just looking forward to the arrival of the new NCAA season, looking forward to stepping on the NCAA stage!
The NCAA is divided into three stages. The first stage is the preseason game, which is the warm-up match. The results of this stage will not be included in the final score, so the outcome is not that important. >latest chapter </strong> Running in the team, checking the training effect, and inspecting new players.

Both sides of the preseason game are not college teams in the same division, and the game will be played in the form of home and away.

Because they are not teams in the same division, the two sides will not meet in the regular season after the preseason.But if they hit the back, the two sides may still meet when they enter the top 64.Therefore, this is running in and testing the team, and it is also a mutual investigation and investigation.

Especially for those seeded teams, this is a preview of the top 64, and the two sides attach as much importance to the game as they do in the official stage.

The second stage is the regular season. Before the regular season, each team needs to carry out a number of preparatory work, such as analyzing the video data and statistics of the preseason game, so as to improve and stabilize the team's style of play and understand the area. Opponent's situation and so on.
The games at this stage are based on the home and away system, and the outcome of the game will be included in the total score in the form of points, and will be counted at the end.

The No.1 record in each district will directly enter the third stage, which is the top 64 competition.

Therefore, the regular season is the official game. It is a real fight. When it comes to the critical moment, the outcome of a game may even affect whether they can enter the top 64.So the further the regular season goes, the more intense it will be, and the competition will become more intense.

The third stage is the top 64 match, also known as March Madness, because it is usually between March 3st and March 1st every year.

This stage is also the most exciting and tense stage of the NCAA. Throughout March, countless people will pay attention to the NCAA.In the United States, all events during this time period cannot be compared with the NCAA, even the NBA is not as popular as the NCAA's March Madness.

The reason why it is so crazy is that the NCAA is based on the school. It will not only attract the attention of countless students from each school, but also attract the attention of countless alumni who graduated from this school. Every game will attract tens of thousands of spectators. Watching the game live, it was very hot.

On the other hand, because of the competition itself, the top 64 will adopt a single-elimination system, and one game will determine life and death, so it is extraordinarily nervous and exciting.

Moreover, the players participating in the NCAA are all college students, generally around the age of 20, unlike NBA players who are mentally mature. These young people are not yet fully mature, and sometimes they play emotionally, and the results of the game are often unexpected.

For example, if the top seed in a district meets the No. 16 seed, it may be a big upset, and the No. 16 seed kills the top seed.

Although this probability is very small, it is not impossible, and it is precisely because of the unpredictability and variability of this result that the game is particularly attractive.

From the preseason, to the regular season, to the top 64, and finally to determine the championship, this is the NCAA!

Now there is still almost a month before the preseason, and the uclA Bruins have already felt the urgency of time. Under the request of coach Majoro, the players' training volume has also increased a lot.

At the same time, the rehearsal of various tactics, the cooperation between players, the division of labor in the team, etc. began to be clarified.

For example, today, what Coach Majorlo meant was to practice the rotation lineup, that is, the lineup when one or several main players rest, with one or two main players and three or four substitute players to form a set. Independent lineup system.

In this lineup, Li Changgeng is the only point guard. No matter how others change, his position will never be changed.

In this way, at the position of point guard, he and O'Neal almost shared all the playing time, with O'Neal a little more and Li Changgeng a little less.

Green, who was originally a point guard, was dropped to a shooting guard.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Changgeng's mentality has always been relatively peaceful. Although coach Majoro did not directly let him start, he guaranteed his playing time. It can be seen that Coach Majoro still has a fancy to him. This is enough.

On the field, Li Changgeng controlled the ball and quickly cut into the paint through the pick-and-roll. He first turned around and bypassed power forward Leonard, and then made a layup, which attracted Mozart to jump up.

At this time, Redick was free, and Li Changgeng passed the ball behind Redick to Redick. Redick easily hit the empty basket.

"beep"

The whistle sounded, and everyone stopped.

"Okay." Coach Majoro clapped his hands and said, "I've finished training here today. You must become proficient in this style of play as soon as possible. The preseason will come soon, and it will be time to test you." Said this While speaking, Majoro's eyes fell on Li Changgeng.

Feeling the coach's gaze, Li Changgeng's heart moved, "Could it be that the coach is implying that whether I can be promoted to the starting lineup depends on my performance in the preseason?" Coach Gero nodded heavily.

After the training was over, everyone dispersed.

After saying hello to Redick and the others, Li Changgeng picked up his backpack and went back to the dormitory.

"Li, you're finally back, I'm almost starving to death." Lucas greeted Li Changgeng as soon as he entered the dormitory, and exaggeratedly shouted.

"Ameco, can't you eat in the cafeteria if I don't come back? Don't you even eat the Chinese food without my cooking?" Li Changgeng looked at Lucas dumbfounded.This guy is addicted to Chinese food, and he waits every day to come back to cook, and he would rather wait while hungry.

Seeing that Lucas had prepared the ingredients and cut the vegetables, Li Changgeng gave a wry smile and started cooking.
After dinner, around seven o'clock, Li Changgeng called Lucas, changed into a uniform, put on a basketball, and rushed to a stadium called Lucky Star.

This course is Li Changgeng's goal today, and it is the tenth course he wants to challenge.

Lucky Star is not far from uclA, it takes only 10 minutes to get there by bus. When Li Changgeng and his team arrive, the stadium is already very lively, with at least [-] or [-] people.After all, there are two full courts in this stadium, and there are twenty or thirty people in one court, which is not too many.

But what surprised Li Changgeng was that at this time, the people on the field were all surrounded by one half of the court, and the half was completely surrounded, not knowing what happened.

"What are you doing?" Lucas whispered.

"Whatever it is doing, just go over and have a look." Li Changgeng was more straightforward, he just squeezed past him, and he couldn't help being stunned when he understood what was going on.Lucas also came over, and seeing the situation on the field, he couldn't help being stunned: "Damn, I was preempted!"

Li Changgeng never expected to encounter this kind of thing. Originally, he was going to pick the place, but when he went to the place, he was already preempted.

A 1.9-meter tall, solidly built, caucasian guy who looked to be only [-] years old had already arrived on the court, confronting the boss of the court.

"Hey, are you the boss of this stadium?" The white guy grinned, with long blond hair flying, and a very handsome appearance. He said to the opposite human in a magnetic voice, "I'm here to challenge you. Let's play a game."

On the opposite side is the boss of the luckystAr stadium. He is a tall black man with at least two meters in height. His muscles look even stronger than that of the white guy. He is wearing a T-shirt with tattoos all over his neck and arms. , Wherever you stand, the momentum is amazing.

This is simply a bull, no matter where you look at it, it definitely doesn't look like a good person.

"My name is Ariza." Man Niu said in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The white guy was not afraid of Ariza, he twisted the ball in his hand, and the ball started to spin on his fingertips. He smiled confidently, "I'll tell you if you beat me."

"Hmph, I don't need to know your name. For the loser, I don't know his name." Ariza was irritated, his face darkened, pointing to a wall with more than [-] jerseys hanging, " If you lose, you know what to do, right?"

More than [-] jerseys are left by the losers. With so many losers, it is conceivable that the strength of this stadium must be good, and Ariza is definitely not mediocre.

"Yeah." The black guy nodded with a calm expression, not intimidated by the twenty or so colorful jerseys on the wall.

"Okay, then let's start, one-on-one bullfight, ten goals, three points count as two goals." Ariza said coldly, "You come first."

"Okay." The white boy nodded as a promise.

On the sidelines, there were fifty or sixty people watching, including boys and girls, mostly young people, black and white.At this time, these people all shouted loudly, booing the black guy, and loudly encouraging and cheering for Ariza.

These voices seem to be declaring sovereignty, telling the white guys that this is Ariza's home court, and you are just an outsider.

This made Li Changgeng stunned for a while, as if he had returned to the time when he was playing away games in China. This atmosphere is really wonderful!

I am afraid that only Li Changgeng and a group of Hongcheng players will feel that the sound of the away game sounds wonderful, and others will never think so.

"Hey, Muse, come on, kill that big black guy."

A crisp voice sounded, it was a girl, the voice was nice, Li Changgeng subconsciously turned his head to look, and then he couldn't help being stunned.

On the court, the Caucasian guy turned his head to look at the girl and said depressedly, "Annie, you shouldn't call me by my name."

"Oh." The girl named Annie also realized that she knew the name of Muse as soon as she called her. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a mischievous smile: "But Muse, what if I don't call you by your name?" Cheering for you? Could it be that you grow hair?"

Uh." A black line began to appear on Muse's forehead, and he said awkwardly, "Okay, you should call me by my name. "

Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Changgeng couldn't help laughing, and immediately felt that the girl was really interesting, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Sensing Li Changgeng's eyes, Annie looked at him. Seeing that he was an oriental, she couldn't help but look twice, but she didn't pay much attention.

Lucas, on the other hand, was staring straight at Annie and couldn't move his eyes anymore. He pulled Li Changgeng and said incoherently, "Li, I'm in love, I'm finally in love."

"Loving your sister." Li Changgeng was speechless, "Does anyone know you? You're in love, you're a nympho." He didn't bother to talk to this guy, and stopped eating whenever he saw a beautiful woman. There was no way out.

On the field, the bullfight has already begun.

The white guy, Muse, attacked first. He held the ball and wandered outside the three-point line. His ball-handling skills were very sophisticated, very rhythmic, and the ball was very stable. Ariza could only hold his position and dare not act rashly.

A few seconds later, Muse dribbled faster, his shoulders shook again and again, and after a crotch dribble, he suddenly accelerated and broke through from the left.

"So fast!"

In an instant, someone exclaimed.

Muse's speed is very fast, kicking his legs on the ground, without much movement, he just simply accelerated and passed Ariza.

However, Ariza was obviously not a vegetarian either, the surprise flashed in his eyes, he calmed down instantly, turned around quickly, and fell tightly behind Muse.

Muse also knew that he couldn't get rid of Ariza completely, so after stepping into the free throw line, he didn't jump up for a layup immediately, but paused his steps, made an emergency stop, blocked Ariza with his body, and then Started quickly, taking advantage of Ariza being blocked, he didn't come up so quickly, and he scored an easy layup.

"One!" Muse smiled easily.

Li Changgeng squinted his eyes and looked at Muse, with a smile on his lips. This Muse is definitely a master, with fast speed, clear mind, and solid skills. Although he can't see anything more, these alone are enough This made Li Changgeng excited.

On the sidelines, many people were also surprised. They didn't expect Muse to score the first goal so easily.

Annie, on the other hand, obviously knew the strength of Muse for a long time. She was not surprised. She just cheered for Muse happily. Many people were stunned by her youthful, pretty and beautiful appearance.

This is the first ball, which is at best a test. Ariza took a deep breath, threw the ball to Muse with a solemn expression, and said coldly, "Come again!"

"Be careful..." Muse smiled jokingly, her shoulders kept shaking, and her feet tapped twice in front of her, as if she was about to break through.Ariza also thought he was going to break through, so he stepped back a little, not watching the ball, just staring at Muse's heels.

Generally speaking, if the opponent is feinting, that is, a fake shot, instead of a real shot, he will only lift the ball up, and the heel will not rise.But if the opponent really wants to shoot, the heel will rise first, so you can judge whether the opponent wants to make a real shot or a fake shot by looking at this.

But this time Ariza made some miscalculations. Seeing him step back a little, Muse suddenly showed a tricky smile on his face, and took a step back abruptly.

"Not good." Trembling in Ariza's heart, Muse definitely wanted to shoot this ball.

It's a pity that he stepped back a little earlier, and Muse stepped back again. Although Ariza tried his best to jump up at this time, he could only act as a show and try his best to interfere.

Muse's feet were off the ground, his body was stretched in the air, and he leaned back a little. His movements were elegant and standard, and he flicked his wrists in the air.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

This ball is not complicated or fancy. Many people only see that Muse's movements are beautiful and pleasing to the eye.But Li Changgeng couldn't help squinting his eyes. From the ball of Muse, he has already seen that Muse is not only fast, clear-headed, and solid in technique, but also has excellent physical fitness, versatile offensive skills, and absolutely excellent shooting skills. good.

There is another person who sees this, and that is Ariza.

At this time, his brows were tightly frowned, his expression unprecedentedly dignified, and the strength of Muse made him feel tremendous pressure.
