Sam Hayes clearly remembers the first question Li Ao asked him - "If the referee doesn't see my foul action, does it not count as a foul?"

He thought about this problem for two whole days.

As a technical director, he feels that he should not teach bad things.

That's against the rules.

But starting from the actual situation, it is very different.

It was only when he guided Li Ao in special training for the second time that he said "it doesn't count" to Li Ao.

Li Ao's block just now took advantage of the referee's blind spot.

The referee couldn't see it, but the three coaches saw it. When Sam Clancy took off, Li Ao grabbed Sam Clancy's jersey. When he took off to block the shot, he pulled down his left hand to restrict Sam.

When Clancy took off, he also used force to make him jump higher during the confrontation, and he barely managed to get a shot.

This kid not only thinks about it, but actually defends it like this!

But what Sam Hayes meant by 'special' wasn't just that.

Li Ao's special defensive training has reached the stage of confrontation training, but the trainers all think it is hard work and are unwilling to do it. The intensity of the confrontation for this newcomer is too great! He is as strong as that muscular man Sam Clancy.

He has to fight hard, and his defensive actions are extremely rough, causing the trainer to get bruised and bruised every time.

Henry Bibby has also noticed this.

Li Ao can actually hold up Sam Clancy! Although it can be seen that Sam Clancy is more powerful, the difference is not far behind.

In just over a month, has this kid's strength improved so much?

Although Li Ao's strength test during the trial training at the end of August was also very good, there was still a big gap compared to Sam Clancy.

He was sure that this kid couldn't possibly have a backup plan at that time. This kid was eager to show everything he had.

In other words, this kid might really be a genius!

After receiving high-intensity training, the physical fitness has been further developed, so there has been considerable improvement in strength without significant increase in weight.

In addition, he felt that Li Ao seemed to be running faster than on the day of the trial...

Xavier Johnson applauded directly from the sidelines.

Blocking shots and counterattacking alley-oop dunks, so cool! Although he can't jump high enough, Li Ao has a slender body and is still watchable.

Although this has nothing to do with what he teaches, it is so cool!

On the court, Li Ao excitedly high-fived Granville to celebrate.

This feeling is so special. I bullied those geeks in the computer department when I was playing basketball, but I didn't feel this way when I dunked.

Granville also feeds the ball very well. When he lobs the ball, he doesn't feel forced at all. He can exert full force when dunking the ball, so that he can have such a comfortable dunk.

Back in the backcourt, three teammates including Rashad Jones, Brusenthal, and Evanisco stepped forward to high-five Li Ao in celebration.

This ball relieves your anger!

In the last few minutes of the first half, Sam Clancy was too arrogant, but there was nothing they could do.

When the B team attacked again, Sam Clancy, who was even darker-faced, continued to ask for the ball. Nate Hale felt that he should not give the ball out of point guard instinct, but the opponent's attitude was tough, so he passed the ball anyway.

The onlookers Henry Bibby was very disappointed.

Sure enough, Sam Clancy rushed inside and hit another shot, and Brusenthal protected the defensive rebound.

Li Ao defended more confidently and better. Although he failed to block the shot again, he was very close and did not give Sam Clancy a chance.

This is why Sam Clancy wasn't reused last season.

He can only rely on his body to break through, but although he has the top strength in the university, his skills are too poor, his speed is only just at the first-class level, and he does not have the real unstoppable impact of Ron Artest.

force.

When team A came to attack, Brusenthal, who was close to the baseline, received a pass from Li Ao and then passed it to Evanisco, who made a layup.

The score was 49 to 50, and team A narrowed the difference to 1 point!

The players of team A all felt that this goal was attributed to Brusenthal. The inbound pass was very beautiful, the timing was very good, and the ball was fed comfortably.

But Henry Bibby saw something else - Li Ao's second pass that went straight to the bottom line!

Just now Granville was flanked on a breakthrough and passed it to Li Ao on the left side of the free throw line. After receiving the ball, Li Ao immediately turned around and shot the ball quickly and accurately. It was sent to Brusenthal's hands, which gave the latter seconds

pass.

Did this kid see an opportunity to pass from the bottom line?

Henry Bibby shook his head slightly. It might be a coincidence that Li Ao's passing and controlling ability during the trial was only at the level of playing among his classmates.

But Li Ao's pass also left a deep impression on him.

Sam Clancy, to put it nicely, is someone who dares to fight and never give up. To put it more bluntly, he has a single mind.

It was Team B's turn to attack again, and Sam Clancy continued to ask for the ball and hit Li Ao alone.

Nate Haier's mentality was about to explode, so he just made a mess and passed it immediately without hesitation.

Not surprisingly, even though Sam Clancy did not have an absolute advantage in strength, he was closely followed by Li Ao.

Coming to a close distance, Sam Clancy saw Evanisco approaching from a double attack and failed to get past Li Ao. Sam Clancy became anxious. In anger, he threw his elbow at Li Ao and finally got space to throw the ball.

Sam Clancy's close shot felt pretty good. The ball hit the backboard and fell into the frame, but the referee's whistle had already sounded and Sam Clancy committed an offensive foul!

Sam Clancy opened his mouth and was about to roar at the referee to express his dissatisfaction when a slap hit his mouth, suppressing his voice, and the huge force knocked him over with his mouth and body!

Without leaving any overnight grudge, Li Ao, who was elbowed, counterattacked directly!

Fortunately, Evanisco on the side directly hugged Li Ao, who had already raised his legs and almost kicked Sam Clancy in the chest.

That position was exactly where Li Ao was thrown by an elbow just now.

Players from both teams gathered around, and the scene became commotion. People on the court next door also focused their attention here. They stopped and looked over, curious about what was going on.

Henry Bibby quickly walked into the court with a dark face and shouted: "That's enough, anyone who wants to fight will get out of here! The team doesn't want you alone!"

Li Ao calmed down instantly.

Just now, he did overreact a little instinctively.

Sam Clancy, who got up after being slapped and wanted to fight back, also calmed down and was still a little scared.

Even though he is full of tendons, he is not good at fighting, and he seems to be arrogant and unreasonable, but in fact he is very timid. Even if he is teased by Shelby Jordan, he does not dare to take action.

"You two go down and calm down, Jeff, Brian, you go up..." After making arrangements, Henry Bibby shouted to the other people who gathered around to watch: "What are you looking at? Play your game!"

Everyone quickly dispersed to do whatever they were supposed to do.

…

Li Ao sat on a chair aside in annoyance and looked at Sam Clancy who was hiding in the opposite corner of the court. He regretted it so much.

Why is the instinctive reaction so strong?

Side effects of ‘fist is justice’!

I could have waited until no one was around to beat that guy up, but I subconsciously fought back, and now I'm in trouble.

Brown on the side said to Henry Bibby: "Coach, don't be angry. You see, Leo has already regretted it."

Henry Bibby glanced at Li Ao and said, "He must regret it, regretting doing it in front of so many people."

"Ha, how is that possible..." Although Brown said this, he also felt the same way, and even guessed that if Li Ao retaliated directly, he might have already chosen a place to beat him, which might be a small training ground.

He finally saw what Li Ao looked like when he got angry.

"Henry, it's normal for young people to be impulsive. Weren't you also young?" This is a standard behavior of Xavier Johnson who treats people wrongly.

Henry Bibby retorted: "I was impulsive when I was young, but I'm not a time bomb."

Sam Hayes said: "Henry, don't you think we are too soft?"

These words made Henry Bibby calm down and turned into surprise.

Xavier Johnson is a good old man and appreciates players who work hard, so he prefers Li Ao. Henry Bibby can understand this.

But Sam Hayes is known to have a weird personality, so he was kicked out of a prestigious school despite being so capable.

And it seems that Li Ao and Sam Hayes have a very bad relationship. According to Brown, Li Ao trained so hard on the defensive end because he wanted to slap Sam Hayes in the face. He felt that Sam Hayes

Si looked down upon him.

Unexpectedly, Sam Hayes said 5 sentences today, 3 of which were to help Li Ao!

Henry Bibby was puzzled, where did this kid get such charm?

Or does Sam Hayes also think this kid is a genius?

But what Sam Hayes said actually made sense to him!

He murmured: "If we had players like Leo or Shelby in 1997, the other side wouldn't dare to commit crimes against Alex..."

When Xavier Johnson heard this, he thought of the first round of the 1997 NBA Finals, when they met the University of Illinois Warriors. Their strength was not weaker than theirs, and they performed better in the first half, leading by 11 points entering the second half.

But in the second half, their star striker Alex Ayuso repeatedly encountered flagrant fouls, and the opponent's actions became more aggressive. In the end, they were overturned in the second half and stopped in the first round.
