On the afternoon of the 24th, the group returned to Los Angeles by special plane. With the roar of the plane, they officially ended this trip to Oregon.
An Luo sat in the plane, opened the curtains, and looked out the window. The high-rise buildings of Eugene City are slowly invisible. All you can see is the blue sky and white clouds, and there are also some unknown birds. Then, as the plane broke through the clouds, nothing was seen.
is easy when you come, and when you leave.
This road trip was perfect for me! But being able to reap two consecutive victories, I have to say, is very rare.
The time has come to the end of January, and the entire 2015-2016 season has passed halfway, and "March Crazy" is getting closer. In the past 20 games, he has won 19 wins and 1 loss. They only lost to the University of Kansas at the beginning of the season, and they have been advancing all the way and have won 15 consecutive victories! Such a record not only ranks first in the Pacific Twelve Schools League, but also one of the few in the entire NCAA!
All the people are ecstatic, they have not played such a record for a long time. Many people have already begun to look forward to the wonderful performance in this year's "March Crazy", looking forward to the team once again hit the championship. You know, the last time I won the championship was in 1995! A large part of these fans have witnessed the glory of that time. As for the eleven championships going forward, that would be too long!
In the latest week of the team rankings released by the Associated Press NCAA, because of the outstanding record, the ranking has risen a few places again.
As the Kansas vs. Oklahoma game came to an end, the first place in the ranking was finally confirmed. After beating Oklahoma in three overtimes at home, Kansas defeated Texas Tech on the away game, and the first position was unanimously recognized. Although Oklahoma lost to Kansas, it lost the chance to reach the top. However, the ranking has not been affected by this and is still ranked second.
Behind these two teams is Maryland, followed by Michigan State, North Carolina and Villanova.
Of course, this list can't decide anything in the end, it just reflects the state of these teams in the past week.
In the evening, the plane finally reached the sky over Los Angeles. On the highway like a spider web, densely packed cars are clearly visible. Prosperity and traffic jams are the business cards of Los Angeles.
An Luo never denies that Los Angeles is a beautiful city. Although he has lived here for more than half a year, he still feels surprised. The setting sun on the coast of Southern California dyed half of the sky red, and the entire city of Los Angeles looked like it was covered with a layer of brocade, radiant. Los Angeles at this time has an urban style that can never be matched by day and night. At the moment, Los Angeles is classical and elegant, which makes people intoxicated.
Coming out of LAX, An Luo sat by the window. The bus drove out slowly, and the scenery on both sides of the road was like a shot from an old movie. The golden sunlight illuminates the road like a dream. The palm trees and billboards on both sides of the road also feel warm. Where the car lights crisscross, you can see the setting sun shining obliquely from the gaps between the trees, dyeing the city into an intoxicating orange.
When arrived, it was already dark. Alford deliberately urged these lads to let them rest and keep training. Then it disbanded.
An Luo didn't want to go out with Alex, and he felt very tired after traveling for 4 or 5 hours.
He now admires those professional players in particular. CBA and the European League are better, the schedule is not too dense, so they will have more time to and from home and away, and can get enough rest time.
But the NBA is different.
Each NBA team plays 41 away games in a season, and a large part of them belong to different time zones. Although the league has adjusted its schedule, the intensity of the NBA's schedule is still higher than that of other professional leagues. NBA teams play an average of 3 games a week, while the NFL, which belongs to the four major professional leagues in the United States, only plays one game a week.
For these players, 82 regular-season games and possible playoffs in a season are enough fatigue. Travel to 41 away games, but worse. Moreover, this has not counted the preseason and playoffs.
But all this must be adapted. After all, for ordinary people, the salary of NBA players is very high, and the various benefits are also enviable. Then, it must pay an unimaginable price. Such as high-intensity training, wandering life.
The next day, An Luo rarely slept for a while. He is a more self-disciplined person, but his body needs enough rest time.
Because there is no need to go to class, An Luo decided to go back to Irvine to accompany his old mother. Fu Yao had complained to him many times on the phone, saying that he had forgotten his mother when he had a daughter-in-law, and he would definitely not be able to count on it in the future.
Actually, UU reading www.uukanshu.com really doesn’t blame Fu Yao for complaining. An Luo now spends much more time with Tang Xiaoru than with his mother. It is not enough to say "with a wife and forget her mother", after all, he doesn't spend much time with Tang Xiaoru. However, in Fu Yao's view, it is developing in that direction. She felt that her son didn't like to lean towards her.
Actually, when this person grows up, it is normal not to want to get in front of his parents. It is not what people often say, everyone likes to have their own independent space and does not like to be controlled. Of course this is a reason. But it is more because these children who have grown up have begun to have their own circle of friends, have their own love, and have their own careers, all of which take a lot of time. Therefore, there is even less for parents.
Take An Luo for example. He is actually not unwilling to accompany his old mother. But there is really no time. On weekends, I have to train and compete; I usually have classes; occasionally I have to go out to cheer with the guys like Alex; of course, he has to accompany Tang Xiaoru.
Fortunately, there are no classes now, and I finally have plenty of time.
When I arrived in Irvine, I naturally had to complain. However, both mother and son are very happy.
Parents all over the world are the same. Many times they speak fiercely, but in fact they will not really be angry with their children.
stayed with Fu Yao for two days, and An Luo returned. Because they have to start a new round of training.
Two opponents this week, An Luo is relatively familiar. They are the University of Washington Huskies from Seattle and the Washington State Cougars from Pullman. Two old opponents, the last time they won away on the road, this time at the Pali Stadium, it was easier.
