Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

There were no surprises in the final result. The Maryland Terrapins defeated the powerful St. John's in Knoxville and successfully advanced to the Elite Eight!

Elite Eight, which also tied the best record in the history of the University of Maryland.

After the game, the fans seemed to have not recovered from this hilarious and passionate game.

Both Li Ang and Artest gave their all, and the game was full of twists and turns.

The final big-headed epee performance by the two pushed the whole game to a climax.

Everyone on the Terrapins didn't celebrate too much on the court. As soon as the game ended, everyone ran back to the tunnel in a hurry.

Everyone pushed open the door to the dressing room and saw that Li Ang had a piece of bloody gauze on his head and was leaning on a chair motionless.

Boss Fu was so frightened at that time: "Damn it, Li Ang, we haven't gone to the NBA together yet, we haven't gone to the Gold Club to stay and fly together, you can't just die like this!"

"Fuck, you're so noisy. It's rare for me to take a break." Li Ang still closed his eyes and just moved his lips.

He really had no energy left, and it was difficult to even speak.

After just returning to the locker room, Li Ang felt like he was being sucked dry.

On the court, with the blessing of adrenaline, even if your physical energy is drained, you can still occasionally explode.

But when he returned to the locker room to relax, after taking that breath, a strong sense of fatigue instantly invaded his body, and Li Ang fell asleep leaning against the locker.

Who knew that I would be woken up by this funny guy not long after I fell asleep.

Francis let out a big breath, not because he was making a fuss, but because the amount of bleeding that Li Ang had just suffered was really exaggerated.

In fact, this is normal. When people exercise strenuously, their heart beats more actively and the amount of blood ejected is greater.

Therefore, even if there is only a small opening during strenuous exercise, the amount of bleeding will be very scary.

In fact, the wound on Li Ang's head was not big, and wounds caused by hard collisions were generally not particularly serious.

After all, Boss Fu doesn't read enough, and Li Ang understands.

"Thank you for your hard work today, brother. I will also shoulder the heavy responsibility in the next game. When you return to the hotel room later, I will give you a full spa treatment!"

Li Ang looked contemptuous. He could shoulder the heavy responsibility in the next game, but this whole body spa

Can you arrange a female technician for me?

At this time, the basketball association members sitting in the stands were stunned.

Under Artest's defense, Li Ang only scored 14 points today.

but.

Nima grabbed 18 rebounds!

Moreover, these rebounds of Li Ang are not the kind that can be picked off casually.

Every rebound is made with every effort!

It can even be said that it was Li Ang's rebounds that sealed the victory.

"How's it going? How do you feel about this Xiao Li?"

“It’s exactly the same as what Su Junyang reported!

He has a fighting spirit, a team spirit, and is not obsessed with the ball. He looks like a good kid at first glance. He is perfect for the national team! "

Look at what you said, is Li Ang a non-stick ball? You know, I don’t have that ability.

Fortunately, Li Ang did not perform his ultimate move War Trample today, otherwise people in the Basketball Association would doubt whether Li Ang could play professional games every minute.

In the 2000 Olympic Games, the Chinese team was very confident in its "China Mobile Great Wall".

But no matter how strong Mobile Great Wall is, it is impossible to rush outside the three-point line to defend.

What the Chinese team lacks is precisely players like Li Ang who can block the opponent's stars from the outside.

As a shooting guard, it doesn't matter whether he can score or not. A shooting guard who can rebound and defend is a welcome addition!

Otherwise, Chinese people still understand Chinese people? People's vicious eyes can tell at a glance that Li Ang is a shooting guard.

There is no way, given the current domestic basketball environment, with Li Ang's height, the Basketball Association will not easily let him play inside.

For people like Iverson and Paoer, if they say they want to play basketball in China, it is called not doing their job properly.

After you finish reciting the basics, you can play basketball.

Not only people from the Basketball Association were shocked by Li Ang's data, but the on-site commentators and NBA scouts were also extremely shocked by Li Ang's 18 rebounds in a single game.

I had only heard that Li Ang could get 25 rebounds in a single game in the NJCAA, but I didn't expect that he almost grabbed 20 in the NCAA Division I league.

18 rebounds in a single game is also the highest rebound record in a single game in the March Madness Championship this season.

Of course, this record is not impressive in the entire NCAA history, because the highest single-game rebound record recorded by the NCAA is 53.

Who knows how basketball was played at that time? After all, there were only statistics and no game videos.

On the other side, in the Red Storm locker room, everyone was also concerned about Artest's condition.

Everyone knows Artest's temper. He will definitely be very unhappy if he loses in this kind of game.

But today Artest neither lost his temper nor cried.

He was just quietly packing his things, then stood up to leave the locker room and get on the team bus.

Before leaving, Artest turned around, holding a toolbox full of wrenches, and gave the team a silly smile.

"Thank you all, I am very happy to spend my college career with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Mike Jarvis was very pleased that Yasuko had really grown up. Boy, sometimes you have to go through some setbacks to become a man.

I am very proud of being able to train you as a teacher~

At this time, Yasuko walked out of the locker room

"Holy shit, shit, shit, I'm so angry! I actually lost, and I lost to an idiot like Li Ang again, fuck!"

Artest was so angry that he smashed the wall with a wrench. When he saw the stadium security coming, he immediately ran away holding the tool box.

Can Artest not be angry? To be honest, if he had lost to someone else today, he might not be that angry.

But losing to Li Ang, it's as uncomfortable as if the goddess finally agreed to come to your house, but as soon as you take off your shoes after entering the house, the smell of feet wafts out!

What? You ask why Artest was so sane and mature in the locker room just now?

Have you ever considered the weight of the word "handsome"?

In front of teammates and coaches, even if you lose, you have to put on your last beep!

At the press conference after the game, when Li Ang came out with a bandage wrapped around his head, the reporters' flashlights suddenly flashed.

Li Ang was also speechless. Even though it was wrapped around him, the wound was actually not that big.

It's just that if you just put a piece of gauze on your head like just now and add a little red in the middle, the image will be somewhat unsightly.

"Li, what made you persist to the end today?"

"You and Artest fought very hard on the court. What kind of opponent do you think he is?"

"How are your injuries? Do you taste anything salty in your mouth?"

Almost all reporters were asking Li Ang questions. If we talk about the previous press conferences of the Terrapins, Francis and Li Ang played the dual protagonists.

So today, it became Li Ang's one-man show.

In addition to attracting more attention from reporters, this game also made Li Ang's reputation among NBA teams better.

The next day, in ESPN's latest draft prediction rankings, Li Ang entered the lottery for the first time!

If Li Ang defeated Duke led by Brand before, some people think it was just good luck.

So their defeat of St. John's, which has Artest, can no longer be attributed to luck.

Li Ang and Artest were really fighting hard in this game. This was a game that relied on hard power to determine the outcome.

Artest's current predicted draft pick is between 12-15.

So it is not too much to say that Li Ang, who is not inferior to Artest, enters the lottery.

Of course, after the pick is improved, each team will be more demanding on Li Ang.

Second-round picks and low-ranking first-round picks, to put it bluntly, some teams really choose them with their eyes closed.

Just like scratching a lottery ticket, it's best if you win, and you won't lose anything if you don't win.

Lottery picks are different. Most bad teams regard lottery picks as their hope for the future.

Although it is also a big gamble, the price is even greater.

A lottery pick does not mean that you must become the cornerstone of the future, but at least you must be a piece of the team-building puzzle.

If he accidentally drafts a smart guy, the team's hard work will be in vain.

Many people think that it is easy to mess things up, but they are terribly wrong.

Failure is a great psychological test for the team and players!

Not all teams are like the 76ers in the future and dare to believe in the process.

Therefore, teams in the lottery will conduct more in-depth and rigorous research on rookies.

If Li Ang wants to move up in the rankings from now on, it won't be as simple as before.

Li Ang still feels that these general managers are too stupid, and they have to consult old gangsters about the draft.

Although he can't choose the correct answer for you, he can at least help you eliminate one wrong answer.

The God of Basketball is well-deserved. Have you ever seen anyone draft as accurately as the old gangster?

Lord Baylor: Sure enough, the second place has no sense of existence, right?

Early the next morning, Li Ang woke up in Nicole's bed.

Don't get me wrong, Li Ang, who was exhausted, did not explore Nicole's inner beauty.

It was only at Nicole's strong request that she gave him a full body massage last night.

Sure enough, it has to be a female technician!

Don't tell me, after the massage last night, my bones felt much more relaxed when I woke up today.

"Why are you working so hard? It's just a game." Nicole muttered while changing dressing on the wound on Li Ang's head.

"A game where if you lose, you're eliminated."

"It was just a game."

Nicole came to watch the game purely because of Li Ang. She couldn't understand the idea of ​​working hard for a game.

"I'm fine too, hehe."

The next game in the South Division will continue at the Thompson-Boling Center in Knoxville.

Therefore, the team does not need to travel long distances for the time being and will continue to live here for a few days.

Don't ask why you don't have to go back to school, because it's spring break now.

The game just ended yesterday, and the team didn't need to train today, so Gary gave the team two days off.

So, Li Ang agreed to go out with Nicole in the afternoon, which was regarded as a date between lovers.

The two went to the square to feed the old pigeons, visited the local art gallery, and like most couples, walked hand in hand in the park.

In the evening, the two found a restaurant in the mall to eat.

Nicole was still talking about the paintings she saw at the art gallery this morning, but she found that Li Ang's eyes were fixed on the TV hanging on the wall in the restaurant.

On the TV, another game in the Southern Quarterfinals is playing. The winner of the two teams will become Maryland's next opponent.

The opponents are the second-seeded Michigan State Spartans and the fourth-seeded Auburn University in the South Region.

The score between the two sides was very tense, and Li Ang was also fascinated by it.

Seeing this situation, Nicole couldn't help but smile, and then gently rested her head on Li Ang's shoulder, staying with him quietly.

She can understand Li Ang. Perhaps, to him, the basketball court is as important as the studio to herself.

Just sometimes.

In the end, Michigan defeated Auburn University by seven points and successfully advanced to the Elite Eight.

This means that the Spartans and Terrapins will also compete for the only seat in the South Division to enter the Final Four in a few days!

At this time, Gary Williams, who was watching the game in the room, was relieved.

Michigan State is a good opponent, but actually better than Auburn.

Like St. John's, they don't have a tall big man, and they don't have a defensive beast like Artest in the lineup.

This quarterfinal match will never be as difficult as the top 16 match.

Gary is very confident about the next game against Michigan State.

The historic semi-finals are just around the corner!

※※※

At the end of the text, the following are the words of the author.

I originally wanted to open a single chapter directly, but after thinking about it I decided not to, and just say it at the end of the text. Anyway, free chapters are not calculated based on the number of words in the text.

"No substantive content", "watery", "the plot does not advance at all".

There have been a lot of complaints like this recently.

I'm not angry or quibbling, let's be reasonable. Today, August 1st, I was deceived by book friends on July 1st into publishing the book in advance. I accidentally celebrated the centenary birthday of our party.

In one month, with only two updates and 7,000 to 8,000 words a day, Li Ang went from being an unknown high school graduate to officially becoming a lottery pick. After two seasons in the NJCAA and NCAA, he controlled two pairs. ball.

This progress is not to say that there are rockets in the butt, but it is nonsense to say that there is no progress. If there is no substance, how can Li Ang become a lottery pick now?

Let's review the structure of this book so far realistically. I skipped the entire regular season of NJCAA and wrote about the finals in detail, which highlights Li Ang's ability to completely crush junior colleges.

The NCAA detailed the game against Odom in the warm-up game, North Carolina in the regular season, Georgia Tech's inside giant in the comeback game, Duke in the ACC finals, and the just-concluded game against Artest.

Every game is a key battle in Li Ang's NCAA career, and they all promote the plot.

Playing against Odom in the warm-up match proved that Leon can play in the NCAA, and playing against North Carolina proved that Maryland has the ability to win the championship this season, but at the same time, I exaggerated that there is a big boss like Duke on top.

Playing against Georgia Tech, Li Ang was not afraid of tall insiders, and at the same time exaggerated the changes of teammate Obinna.

Then fighting Duke and killing the big boss in one fell swoop was a small climax.

By the way, since entering March Madness, the game against Artest is also the first game I have written about in detail. The role of this game is not only to highlight Li Ang's ability to fight tough battles, but also to further shape the character of Yasuko.

He is not just a fool and a fighter, he is also unwilling and passionate, and he will still occupy a very important position in future plots.

Speaking of this, I remembered that a few days ago, a book friend complained that "the six games of March Madness will be watery for at least half a month, I will take care of it first."

Little did they know that it had only been a month since I started writing the book, and I hadn’t even competed in a competition that I shouldn’t have. This kind of complaint is outrageous!

I can also guarantee here that all the NCAA drama will end on the 5th. Six games and half a month, I really don’t know how you can make such a statement.

I have omitted all Li Ang’s unimportant games and only selected the games that can advance the plot to write about.

Isn’t this more conscientious than water games one after another?

Do you really want to continue reading basketball articles that write about one game after another, interspersed with interviews with reporters, and then continue writing about the game?

If you think this is the essence of basketball writing, then this book may not be a serious basketball writing.

The kind of article that goes from game to game, and I can write you a chapter in an hour. But does it make sense? Does it look good?

If this kind of writing is good-looking, why did we get poor results when we wrote like this before?

If you are not used to it, it is simply because my book does not rely on the water competition to promote the plot, but relies more on the characters and the plot itself to promote the plot. The competition is just part of the plot.

If you simply want to experience the game, which one is not better than text, watching videos or playing games?

Although there are few games, the plot progress is not slow.

When you read fantasy novels, do you want to watch battles one after another?

With this book, I just wanted to break away from the traditional framework of basketball writing that relies on games to make progress, and write a book that everyone can read in their tired lives, have a knowing smile, relax for a moment, and at the same time find the fun of basketball writing. .

Instead of just competition, competition, competition, competition.

Therefore, there may be more jokes or funny plot points than other basketball articles, but it would be too much to say that there is no substantive content.

Let’s just say this much first. After all, Laoge is not RMB, and it is impossible for everyone to like it. This is normal.

What's more, this pigeon is still so short and deserves to be scolded.

For those who really don’t like this style, don’t complain about this issue anymore. After all, every style of book has its audience, which is normal.

Okay, my rants have quickly become longer than the main text. I don’t know how many more chapters I can write if I have the time!

Keep coding, coding.
