King of shooting guards

Chapter 178 North Carolina (1)

The assistant's door opened, and the assistant's red face appeared at the door, and she said coquettishly, "Don't move my things in yet!"

As he received the imperial edict, Li Changgeng hurriedly dragged his large and small luggage into the room, of course he did not forget to put his own small luggage in it.

The players in other rooms poked their heads out to watch the show.After a while, a package was thrown out, and then a man ran out of the room with his head in his arms.

"Hahaha..." This was naturally the gloating laughter of those disloyal guys!Li Changgeng is really the most insignificant coach in history!
At this point, the Raptors' room.

"Captain, the Los Angeles team is here!" Pinole said to Pierce who was lying on the bed.

Putting down the book in his hand, Pierce calmly said, "Got it!"

New York Jianle team training base.

"The Los Angeles team has entered Beijing!" Ke Bo said lightly to Lucas, who was sweating over there, "Aren't you going to see your old friend?"

Stopping the training in hand, Lucas wiped his sweat: "The Raptors are also coming to Beijing, have you gone to see it?"

"It doesn't matter if you watch it or not. This year's champion is the Los Angeles Raptors!"

"This situation may change this year. That guy is back this year. Is his strength comparable to those of your juniors?"

"After that game, you still don't know the strength of the Raptors! You should be the one to worry about."

"Stacking quilts for a month, I bet this year's champion is the Los Angeles team!"

"Two months!"

"make a deal!"

"I forgot to tell you that the coach of the Los Angeles team didn't come with the team this time. It seems that he had a heart attack and was hospitalized! Although there is nothing serious, the Los Angeles team will have no coach for this competition!"

"Damn it, you despicable villain!" Lucas said angrily, "You're setting me up!"

"You voluntarily!" Ke Bo said lightly.Turn around and pull the barbell to do quality training.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a knock on the door.The room opened a crack, "Excuse me, does the Los Angeles team live here?"

Mozart looked suspiciously at the young man in front of him: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"I'm Tom, a reporter from Los Angeles Sports. I want to interview your Los Angeles team. Is it convenient?"

"Convenience and convenience!" Mozart's attitude changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly opened the door enthusiastically, "Just ask if you have any questions!" While speaking, he enthusiastically led the two reporters into the door.As if they were all clairvoyants, the doors of other rooms opened at the same time, and each of them poked their heads out: "Reporter?"

Tom looked around at the players around and searched for a while: "Why didn't you see Li Changgeng?"

Everyone looked at each other and burst out laughing.Just when Tom was puzzled, the door on the opposite side opened, and a tall boy strung out with his head in his arms——Li Changgeng!

Damn, I was kicked out again.Clutching his head that was hit by the bag just now, Li Changgeng's face became hot, especially this time he was under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Hello, Li Changgeng, do you still remember me?" Tom stood out from the crowd, "Li Changgeng is the reporter Tom of Los Angeles Sports!"

"Tom? The teaching assistant's brother?"

"I know you, I know you too well!" Li Changgeng muttered dissatisfiedly, "Looking at the good things your precious sister has done, Li Changgeng's head has been smashed into a tumor, you hurry up and teach her a lesson!"

"My sister?" Tom asked suspiciously!

"Assistant, the manager of the Los Angeles team, don't you know? It's inside!" Holding Tom's hand to the door, Li Changgeng gently knocked on the door, and hurried away.The door opened and a pillow flew out!Tom, who couldn't dodge in time, was hit straight, and his glasses fell to the ground!
"Brother!" The teaching assistant looked at Tom, who was covering his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here!"

The reunion of brother and sister in a foreign land naturally did not require Li Changgeng to broadcast live, but when Li Changgeng asked Tom to persuade the teaching assistant as a condition for the interview, Li Changgeng finally did not have to sleep on the aisle.

Sitting on the soft bed, Li Changgeng coped with Tom's interview without saying a word.More often, they are interrupted by the chattering players.In short, Li Changgeng's reputation as the NCAA champion was completely tarnished by these bastards.

"Last question, what is the goal of the Los Angeles team to participate in the competition this year?" Tom stopped writing, raised his head and looked directly at Li Changgeng.

The chattering teammates all fell silent at this moment, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Changgeng.

Sitting up straight, calming down his emotions, and slowly scanning his teammates around him, Li Changgeng replied in a deep voice: "National champion!"

"National champion?" Tom asked back with a smile.

"Yes, the national champion!" He answered decisively, clenching his fists involuntarily.Looking up and looking around, except for the assistant coach, all members of the Los Angeles team seemed to be clenching their fists at the same time.

Tom smiled and shook hands with Li Changgeng to say goodbye.Leaving Los Angeles' scrappy Los Angeles players in the room.

The day after arriving in New York, the lottery ceremony took place.I don't know if it was God's will, but the Los Angeles team is in Group D and the Raptors are in Group A as the top seeded team. According to the rules of the competition, if the two teams keep winning, they will only meet after the semifinals!

The seed team of Group D is the No.4 University of North Carolina last year, an old friend.After familiarizing themselves with the competition venue, the opening ceremony of the competition began on the third day after arriving in New York. Like four years ago, after the long and tedious opening speech, according to the results of the draw, the first group match was Group A, of which the fierce dragon team.

"Do you choose to watch the game here, or go back to sleep!" Li Changgeng asked listlessly after heaving a sigh of boredom.There will be a game in Los Angeles in the afternoon, and it’s a good choice to go back and get a good night’s sleep while it’s still early.

"Go back? Li Changgeng, don't you watch the game? This is last year's champion Raptors game!" Beethoven asked strangely, "This is a good opportunity to observe the opponent!"

"You don't need to look at it to know that the Raptors can't lose in the first game. The Raptors' real strength in this game will not be much, so go back and prepare for the game in the afternoon! The first game encountered Seed team, aren't you nervous at all?" Li Changgeng stood up, ready to go back.

"I'm a little nervous." Paul spread his hands, "My palms are sweating. This is the first time I've seen such a big stadium with so many spectators!"

"what about you?"

"I'll watch it for a while!" Leonard said lightly, "Li Changgeng wants to see what the national level competition is like!" Harris Mozart and others nodded one after another.

Back in the room, Li Changgeng fell asleep after putting on his clothes. When he was woken up again by the teaching assistant, it was already lunch time.The Raptors game had long since ended, and the returning team members all had heavy faces.

The assistant coach quietly told Li Changgeng the result of the game in Li Changgeng's ear: 110:46, the Raptors established a 15-point lead in the opening 30 minutes.

"What's the matter?" For no reason, a wave of anger rose in Li Changgeng's heart, and his voice became louder, "Paul, tell me what's going on!"

"The Raptors are really strong!" Paul whispered, "Los Angeles..."

"So what." Li Changgeng interrupted Paul angrily, "Los Angeles' priority now is to win today's game. No matter how strong the Raptors are, they can't qualify for the group stage. Los Angeles doesn't even have the chance to teach the Raptors." No matter how strong the qualifications are, what's the matter with shutting down Los Angeles?" Looking at the gloomy expressions of the team members, the inexplicable Li Changgeng's anger further expanded, and the volume increased further.

Paul's face flushed for a while, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

The room was silent.

"No matter how strong the opponent is, the game depends on Los Angeles. If you lose your fighting spirit before the game, then you are not qualified to participate in the NCAA at all!" Turned and left the table.

The atmosphere in the room was further suppressed, Mozart and Paul lowered their heads even lower, and Beethoven also showed embarrassment on his face.The other team members also bowed their heads in silence.The only exceptions are Harris and Leonard.Harris' face was as cold as ever, and Leonard could not see the slightest emotional fluctuation.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence.Harris picked up the food and ate it as if no one else was there, followed by Leonard, Beethoven, Mozart...

Lying on the bed, it took Li Changgeng a while to calm down the anger in his heart.When I calmed down, I wondered why I was so angry.

Why are you so angry?Li Changgeng is looking forward to the arrival of the NCAA all the time. Every day, Li Changgeng imagines the scenario of challenging the Raptors again.However, Li Changgeng never expected that the Los Angeles players would lose their fighting spirit before the game started.

Are these Li Changgeng's teammates who fought across the country?Are these the teammates that Li Changgeng relied on to challenge the Raptors?Are the Raptors really that strong?Is it so strong that people lose their fighting spirit just by looking at it?
Perhaps they shouldn't be blamed for this. They have never seen the strength of the national super team, so this is a normal reaction for them!

It was Li Changgeng who was too impulsive.

The door opened, and the teaching assistant came in with a smile. "You are so majestic today, everyone was scared by a reprimand! You seem to be gradually becoming a coach!"

Gazing at her blankly, Li Changgeng didn't bother to answer, his stomach growled, and then he remembered that today's lunch was ruined, and the table was full of exquisite delicacies, and he regretted it—what a mistake, he should eat it Do you get angry after dinner?

With a smile, he stretched out the hand hidden behind him-a plate full of food!

Outside the number, Li Changgeng quickly grabbed the plate, grabbed a chicken leg and started chewing, God knows how much Li Changgeng regretted it,

The door of the room opened quietly, and heads stuck out from the crack of the door.
Li Changgeng, whose mouth was full of food, was startled by the noise at the door. He raised his head and faced the faces that were holding back their smiles. There was a burst of heat on his face, and he turned around quickly.There was a roar of laughter at the door.

A storm has passed.

"Forget it, everyone stay here, anyway, the game in the afternoon is still early! I'll go back to sleep." He breathed out again, really sleepy.

"Did you not sleep after finishing?" Bei Duofen asked strangely when he saw Li Changgeng breathing heavily.

While yawning, Li Changgeng shook his hands.It's no wonder that she slept well, the teaching assistant girl almost tied up Li Changgeng, and kept making noises in Li Changgeng's ears all night like an enemy.In the end, Li Changgeng had no choice but to sleep on the floor in the living room with his pillow in his arms. Although the room was air-conditioned, he couldn't sleep well.

Ten days in the afternoon, New York Workers Stadium.

Paul quietly peeked through the crack of the door, turned around, and said nervously, "There are so many people! Li Changgeng, does every game have so many spectators!"

"Not exactly." Li Changgeng answered again and again as he adjusted his shoelaces, "It depends on who the two sides are in the game. North Carolina is a very strong team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the favorites for the championship. Los Angeles, Under the strong praise of the assistant coach, it can be regarded as a strong championship contender, and naturally more people pay attention to it."

The teaching assistant over there gave Li Changgeng a hard look.

Standing up and jumping twice, Li Changgeng was quite satisfied with the feeling under his feet, and closed the cabinet: "Let's go, Los Angeles is coming first!"

The door opened, and the loud applause in the hall almost suffocated Li Changgeng. He raised his head and looked around, there were so many people!There were huge crowds of people, and the cheers were earth-shattering.Driven by the sudden quickening of the heartbeat, the calm blood seemed to rush forward, and a slight heat spread quietly on the face.The long-lost excitement!
This is the stage Li Changgeng hopes for.
Only at this moment did Li Changgeng deeply believe that the NCAA, Li Changgeng is here.

"Let's go!" Looking back at his teammate Li Changgeng, he walked towards the court with extremely firm steps.

in the audience.

The uncle who had already quietly seated himself was involuntarily attracted by the leading boy the moment the door opened.That's right, it's this boy.The high-spirited posture, the firm steps, the faint smile on his face, and the mighty and invincible aura, together make him unparalleled in the world.Among the thousands of people, it can be recognized at a glance.

Another door opened and North Carolina entered.

Li Changgeng, who was warming up on the field, seemed to feel a scorching gaze on Li Changgeng's back. When he turned around, a tall boy who was not inferior to Mozart was staring at Li Changgeng coldly.

Ibrahimovic?Li Changgeng's heart suddenly jumped out of this name.Captain of North Carolina!Li Changgeng remembered the name when he looked at the opponent's profile in the morning.

Seeing the murderous look on his face, Li Changgeng couldn't help being stunned: He seems to be very dissatisfied with Li Changgeng!In a moment of astonishment, the giant walked over slowly: "You are Li Changgeng?" With a cold voice, it seemed that Li Changgeng owed him money and hadn't paid it back.

Although he was very uncomfortable with the other party's tone, Li Changgeng replied lightly: "Yes!"

"NCAA champion?"

"Of course!"

"It's ridiculous, I can't see the reason why you are called the NCAA champion." Ibrahimovic said coldly, "If you dare to go to the basket, I will let you understand the so-called The NCAA champion is just a joke."

Li Changgeng couldn't help but looked at the arrogant giant in front of him with amused smile, it took him a long time to remember that he couldn't show weakness, imitating his tone, he said coldly from between his teeth: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!" Then he turned and left.

The people behind seemed to be gnashing their teeth for a while, before turning around and leaving.

"Look, Vujacic, that is your opponent. Captain of the North Carolina basketball team, one of the top ten players last year: Zlatan Ibrahimovic!" Patted Mozart on the shoulder, "He can be compared with heroin Oh, my center!" After speaking, he grabbed the ball and ran towards the hoop!
Mozart snorted coldly and followed Li Changgeng without saying a word.

Warm-up time is over.

"Announce the players: Mozart, Paul, Harris, Leonard, Beethoven! There is no special tactical arrangement, one-on-one marking as usual." Li Changgeng cocked his legs in a very irresponsible way. They said, "Let's play!"

The team members gave Li Changgeng a tacit understanding, shouted in unison and then appeared on the stage.

Li Changgeng, who seemed to be leaning on the chair relaxedly, was not at ease in his heart.It was the first time to command a team in a national level competition, and the opponent North Carolina was also the reason why Li Changgeng was very concerned about it.Li Changgeng still remembers his encounter with North Carolina back then. He played aggressively and toughly, making him a very tough opponent.Although Li Changgeng didn't know why Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed such a strong sense of confrontation against Li Changgeng, but it was a difficult game, so Li Changgeng doubted it.

It is impossible for any team to hide their main players when they meet North Carolina, but in the absence of coach Majoro, Li Changgeng, who is the coach, has to sit on the bench to control the game.

This is the biggest loophole for the Los Angeles team right now.

Jumping ball, two equally huge figures, who can get the ball?The result came out quickly - Zlatan Ibrahimovic.Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the lead to hit the ball, and the North Carolina player got the ball-this was the first time Mozart lost a jump ball. The blow was not small!
The North Carolina team got the ball and quickly set up an attacking formation. Their No. 5 was in possession of the ball. According to the information in his hand, Li Changgeng knew that his name was Ibrahimovic. With a height of about 180 centimeters, he was as nimble as a monkey. He rushed left and right with the ball and came to the Los Angeles team's position.The running positions of other off-ball players are also perfect.The ball was passed, and it was their forward No. 8 Bell who got the ball. Bell dribbled the ball, but the right wing failed to break through, and then passed it to his partner No. 6, the shooting guard Noble, who was closely watched by Beethoven. After two turns, he opened up the gap, and the ball flew straight to the backboard!

Shoot?No, it's a pass. Under the basket, their ace Ibrahimovic has already squeezed into the penalty area and is engaged in a fierce confrontation with Mozart.Turning around with a fake move, Ibrahimovic grabbed a good position, grabbed the ball with one hand after taking off, and dunked the ball hard into the basket!Alley-oop dunk?

After scoring, Zlatan Ibrahimovic looked at Li Changgeng on the bench disdainfully, and raised his thumb high—to himself, of course.Such an arrogant guy.

North Carolina returns to defense, No. 4 Ibrahimovic, No. 8 Bell, No. 9 Messi, No. 6 Nobel, and No. 5 Ibrahimovic is active on the three-point line-area defense?
It's zone defense.Leonard was very calm and composed, dribbling the ball without delay, and steadily controlling the rhythm, while the other players cut into their offensive area one after another.Take a look at North Carolina's defense. With Zhao Tong as the center of defense, the North Carolina team put on an iron bucket formation.Mozart and Zhao Tong on the inside were entangled in the inside and could not get a good position. Every time they moved, Zhao Tong just blocked them outside the penalty area.

Paul and Messi were also suppressed outside the penalty area in the duel.Harris and Bell are evenly matched. Harris keeps moving quickly and cutting in, trying to get rid of Bell who is following him like a shadow. Bell holds his position firmly and does not lose the wind.Beethoven, the outside captain, also moved quickly on the three-point line, but he was always entangled by the shadowy Nobel, and he couldn't get rid of it effectively.

Leonard, what to do?

The speed of dribbling began to accelerate, and it was time to break through!With a slight movement of the left foot, the speed of the ball increased instantly, the left?No, the crotch changed hands, the ball was switched to the right hand, the basketball hit the ground twice in succession, and the figure quickly tilted to the left. When Ibrahimovic just adjusted his pace and moved to block it, the ball was under the control of his left hand The bottom has been switched to the right, and the moment the right hand catches the ball, the body has adjusted accordingly, still facing the basket, and the two feet have not moved yet!But Ibrahimovic has lost control of his body's center of gravity involuntarily because of the series of movement changes just now.

All the changes just now happened in an instant. Li Changgeng on the sidelines could see clearly. That's right, that was Li Changgeng's move when he confronted Leonard for the first time.Great guy!What a quick learner!

The ball was in the right hand, before it hit the ground, he took another big step with his right foot, swayed his whole body to the right, and quickly moved it to his left hand. When Ibrahimovic adjusted his center of gravity again, he turned around suddenly. Break through when blocked.

Hehe, what a great guy!
After breaking through, Leonard ran towards Beethoven, and Ibrahimovic chased after him.

The two staggered, Beethoven blocked Ibrahimovic, and the Nobel replacement over there blocked Leonard's way to continue to break through, but what about the ball?Leonard spread his hands and shrugged innocently at Nobel.

Where's the ball?At that moment, seeing the gap of a moment, the ball was passed to Harris.Harris also lived up to Leonard's trust. At the moment Bell was about to move to make up for it, he took a shot and the ball went in!Dude, the moment he catches the ball, he's ready to shoot.Harris is indeed the king of offense. The position of small forward is really suitable for him!

After seeing the wonderful performance of the two, Li Changgeng on the sidelines was not only speechless!When did Leonard and Harris become so powerful?Leonard's extremely sharp breakthrough, Harris' bold and steady shot, they seem to have made another big step forward!What stimulated them to make such a huge improvement in a short period of time?
The applause in the stadium was earth-shattering. In just a few seconds, the wonderful offensive and defensive battles of the two teams firmly attracted the hearts of the audience present.It's going to be a fight between dragons and tigers!
The momentum of the Los Angeles team, which was stagnated by the North Carolina team's dunk just now, once again rose. Although Harris still had an iceberg expression, the blaze in his eyes could not be hidden. The burning fighting spirit in his heart was on this court. The best fighters finally couldn't help burning up on the NCAA stage.
