Chapter 123
What Xu Hao and the others didn't know was that the coaches and players of the UCLA Bruins were equally prepared for their arrival.In fact, the threat of the Sun Devils was not that great, but when they defeated the USC Trojans in an away game, they had already improved a level in the eyes of other teams in the same district, and even the entire UCLA team couldn't help but start to get nervous.
But the nervousness is the nervousness, they are still full of confidence in the victory of this game, which is also determined by their dominance in the Pacific Ten Schools League.More importantly, their backcourt combination Collison and Holiday are also very eager to fight. They don't look down on Arizona State's backcourt, but they still insist that they are the strongest.
UCLA and USC are both located in Los Angeles, the only difference may be that UCLA's campus is closer to the city center.The entire Sun Devil team didn't even need to change hotels, and it saved them from wasting time on the road.Still, Evans gave his players a day off the day after beating USC, not thinking about playing UCLA on the third night.
Others can sleep in the room, or go for a casual stroll in the city, but Xu Hao and Harden, who were forced to bet with the coach, are not so leisurely.The hotel the team booked naturally didn't have any basketball courts, and it seemed almost interesting to go to the local street court to practice, so the two of them came to the gym on the second floor of the hotel by coincidence, and continued to compete with those iron bumps.
Xu Hao had already played against the Bruins in the system the night before, and the situation was not very optimistic. The two sides played until two overtimes in that game. In the end, Collison made a breakthrough layup to help the Bruins score. The winning goal.
Of course, the simulated game and the reality are two different things, but Xu Hao is always a little uneasy.But on second thought, what the hell is he betting with the coach on cleaning the arena for a month?Don't say anything, what is the result of the simulated game?Just do it on the field, even if you don't care about hygiene, you have to win this bet!
So Xu Hao practiced more vigorously in the gym. His training volume made Harden feel scared when he saw it. Dumped?
After a day of rest, Evans scheduled an hour of recovery work the morning of the game.What made him feel gratified was that the players did not slack off because of the day off, and they still performed vigorously on the field, especially the state of Xu Hao and Harden was even more explosive, causing Evans to return. I specifically told them to take it easy and save their energy for use at night.
Time soon came to night. When Xu Hao and the others walked into the Poly Pavilion of UCLA, they found that the atmosphere inside the venue was even worse than that of USC.But this is understandable. After all, this is UCLA. Compared with its younger brother USC in the same city, it is unknown how big it is. It is normal for it to be crazily pursued by a large number of fans both inside and outside the school.
To the surprise of the Sun Devils players, when they walked out of the tunnel, they caught a glimpse of their Arizona State University flag in the corner of the auditorium. Although it seemed like a drop in the ocean, it also made them feel emotional for the away players.Perhaps it is the students of the school who came to Los Angeles to support them, or the alumni who have graduated and worked in Los Angeles for many years, but at least now they feel that they are not fighting alone, and there are still fans standing with them.
This small discovery made everyone feel excited, and the fanatical UCLA fans at the scene seemed to have been ignored by them.A hot-blooded teenager like Harden clenched his fists tightly, hoping that the game would start immediately.
After the warm-up was over, Evans explained step by step the tactics adopted by the team in this game, and at the end he did not forget to joke: "Xu, James, don't forget our bet. oh!"
The two rolled their eyes in unison, please, you forced us to participate in this bet, okay?
However, they will not complain publicly on this occasion. The coach is the boss, and he can tease him however he likes. As the small soldiers below, they only have time to play after daily training. Now, let’s think about how to play well in the game!
I have to say that Coach Evans' gamble was still very effective. At least when they walked on the court, Xu Hao and Harden had murderous expressions on their faces. People who didn't know thought that there were some enemies among the UCLA players. .
Of course, the expressions of the others were not much better, but they were not as ferocious as the two of them...
UCLA's insider Alfred Boya jumped the ball to the middle circle. Although this guy is also a veteran player who entered the school in 2005, he can't compare with Collison in the same class in terms of fame.However, although Boya is a little shorter than Ayers, his jumping ability is unambiguous. When the referee threw the ball up, Ayers was taken by the opponent without any notice.
Boya first gave the ball to Holiday in mid-air, but just as the latter was about to catch the ball, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the orange basketball disappeared without a trace from his vision.He turned around with a dazed face, and saw Xu Hao dribbled the ball all the way, almost to his own free throw line, and the other starters of the Bruins team were still struggling to catch up, but he looked like a fool.
Seeing that the opponent was about to encircle, Xu Hao didn't make a strong move, but threw the ball to the left corner with a false throw and a real pass, where Harden didn't know when he was ready.After receiving the ball, Harden just glanced at it for a while, pulled it up and shot, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and went directly into the frame, causing the white net to writhe up and down.
Xu Hao excitedly ran over to give Harden a high-five. He did not forget to make a gesture to Coach Evans on the sidelines, indicating that this steal plus one assist is considered 3 points. Harden also made the same gesture , He also scored 3 points.
Evans couldn't help covering his forehead, and began to think about whether he had to think about letting this pair of bastards be the core of the team... Now that the two of them are making such indecent gestures on the court, wait until the end of the game The media will definitely make a big deal of it in the future, and it seems that I can’t expose the fact that I and my teammates gambled on keeping the arena clean for a month...
Forget it, I hope these two guys will be more restrained on the court. Anyway, everyone's statistics are recorded by the staff there. Why are you so anxious?Is it really because of this that you are asked to do hygiene?
