On November 14, 2015, at home, ushered in the first opponent of the season: the Monmouth Eagles.
This is not a traditional strong team, but if it is taken lightly, it may suffer serious consequences. After all, in the Pac-10 league, there is no absolute weak team.
Two days before the start of the game, head coach Alford announced the twelve-man rotation list for the game. The names of Anlo, Aaron, Alex and Prince are all among them. This makes them very excited! This means that the first official game of their NCAA career is likely to be the opener of this season. It may not last a few minutes, but there is no doubt that this is a good start.
did not announce the starting list, but An Luo can imagine that they will definitely not have a chance. The opening game is again at home and must be won. Although the four of them performed very well in the usual training games, the newcomers are newcomers after all. They can't take too much steps, and there still needs to be a gradual process.
In the ninth middle school, Liao Ning will lead everyone to watch the opponent's match video, and then everyone will discuss how to play the match. But such things will not happen. There are dedicated data analysts here, who will study the opponents and get a series of data, and then the coaching staff will work out the corresponding tactics and arrangements.
I don’t know if this method is useful, but at least it gives people the feeling that it is very scientific and convincing.
On this day, the Pali Stadium was almost full of people. Although it can't be compared to the league tournament or "March Crazy", the last time I watched the NCAA basketball game here was half a year ago. If you think that these audiences are just people inside the school, you are quite wrong. There are a lot of social spectators in the auditorium. Compared with the NBA, although the economic level is lower, there are still many people who would rather watch NCAA games. The professional league has a strong commercial atmosphere, where is there a pure college league!
An Luo looks particularly active today, as you can tell from when he warmed up. He hasn't played a formal game for a long time, and the lively atmosphere on the scene made An Luo a little uncomfortable. Although those spectators were very enthusiastic when they played high school leagues in China, they are still more reserved than Americans.
Of course, this is not the biggest reason why he is so excited. In the audience not far away, Anluo's old mothers Fu Yao and Tang Xiaoru, as well as the Chinese students who have met during this time, are watching him. He didn't want to lose face in front of his fathers and villagers because he didn't behave well enough.
The game hasn't continued, and the audience is noisy. Whether they know each other or not, as long as they sit together, everyone will chat happily. Or about the weather, or about a certain attraction, or talking about work, sports... Of course, the hottest topic is definitely about the competition.
Don't look at these people who do different jobs in different positions on weekdays. Many of them have extremely deep insights into basketball. They will pay attention to the ranking of each team each year, the recruitment of each team each summer; understand the tactical thinking of those famous schools and coaches; understand those college players and high school players who have performed extremely well.
Just like now, they are discussing this year's lineup changes. Especially the four newly recruited players this year are the core of their discussion.
Aaron Holiday is undoubtedly the easiest to be recognized. Not only because of strength, but also because of birth. The United States is actually a country that values interpersonal relationships, especially universities. Many family grandparents, parents, and children graduated from a school. And Holiday, his brother Jru Holiday is a very good player in the history of the Raccoons.
Of course the biggest question is An Luo. And he is also the most eye-catching one. They all say: Things are precious. It's the opposite when it's human. In the NCAA arena, there are still too few Chinese faces. The Chinese basketball players in everyone's impression are almost all tall inside players like Yao Ming. As for the Chinese defenders, they don't believe it.
"God! Have all our coaching staff been eaten by aliens? Why choose a Chinese defender! That little guy will be torn to pieces by the opponent!"
"Does the NCAA also want to enter China? Sure enough, all competitions cannot escape commercialization!"
"Maybe it is for fun. You know, Chinese people are very rich!"
……
Of course, there are also optimistic people. They are not bound by inherent thoughts.
"Hey, buddy! Maybe the coaching staff is not wrong, you see that his posture and speed of three-pointers are much better than most student players."
"I like this guy! I bet he is definitely a genius! He looks as handsome as me!"
……
Regardless of whether it is approved or not~EbookFREE.me~ everyone is looking forward to this game the same. After the game, all questions and conjectures will be answered.
Before the game officially starts, the on-site DJ will introduce the players and coaches of both sides. An Luo listened to the screaming sound that was prolonged and had to sigh. It is not easy to do anything in the Americans! But the effect is tangible. Under the guidance of the DJ, all the audience shouted one after another, and the atmosphere rose.
After the introduction of , there is a session of singing the national anthem and raising the flag. This is not only the case in China. No country will underestimate patriotic education. However, Americans have a lot of tricks. Sometimes they invite some stars to sing, sometimes accompanied by elements such as the ceremonial guard of the national flag and the soldiers returning from the front. The purpose is to make this link less monotonous.
When everything is ready, the game officially begins. Sure enough, Alford’s starting lineup was all veteran players who played the game last year, and Anluo's rookies had no choice but to sit on the bench and watch others embark on the arena.
may be due to his own home court. The players started the game first and played very well on both offensive and defensive ends. This makes head coach Alford very satisfied. These players may not have the best talents, but they definitely give him the most peace of mind.
The audience was also very satisfied with the team's performance. Especially after Tony Parker completed an empty dunk on the 23rd, everyone fell into a carnival.
This Tony Parker is not the French sports car of the San Antonio Spurs, but a man with very athletic ability. An Luo has a very good impression of him, training is very serious, and usually does not participate in the bullying of An Luo by the old players.
