Vol 2 Chapter 72: Houston

　　 An Luo didn't understand the American thoughts. When he won the national championship in the ninth middle school, although everyone was very happy, it was nothing compared to these guys.
　　 What's more, this is just a top four! If he could win the championship, An Luo couldn't even imagine that scene. He has seen the celebration parade of those NBA championship teams on TV, and the ncaa estimates are not bad.
　　 Evening party also arranged some shows and interactive games. The programs are all singing and dancing, singing and dancing raps, all rehearsed by the students themselves. At this time, Holiday and the Tony Parker were having fun. In this regard, the talent of black people is too strong! There is no need to rehearse, and you can directly keep up with the actors' beats. In this regard, Anluo can only sigh with excitement.
　　Some of the following games are still very interesting. The host invited a lot of spectators to the stage and participated in it with An Luo and all the other players. An Luo didn't quite understand how to play these American games, so he ran and jumped with other people, quite happy.
　　 Finally, before the end of the party, the host expressed the expectations of all the fans to the players. They will go to Houston, to cheer for cheer, and try to do everything a fan can do. Only hope that An Luo and others will play their best competitive state and then go to win the championship.
　　 To be honest, An Luo was a little moved. Every time he heard the fans chanting his name in unison, he was very moved. That is an approval, an expectation.
　　 But An Luo didn't express anything. If it is himself, he can promise these fans to win this championship. But now he represents the whole, and he doesn't want to push it to the cusp because of his big mouth.
But he still made his due statement: "We will go all out to fight, score, and defend. This is what we have been doing and will continue to do. Everything is for u~ c~l~a!"
　　 The next day, at Alford’s request, the players started training before the semifinals. This time the training camp is closed. In other words, for many days before the end of all games, these players will not be allowed to communicate with the outside world.
　　 This is necessary. Now the Internet is full of news and discussions about the semi-finals and finals, which are good for them, but more are words that are not conducive to them. Even if it beats the University of Kansas, it is still not recognized by most people!
　　 How similar is this to the original Nine High School! An Luo is noncommittal, whether he is strong or not, he will know during the game.
　　 Alford did not want to distract his players. The key to these days is to be fully prepared for both physical and psychological aspects. Players must calm down, adjust and maintain their state through training.
　　 Alford did not arrange a lot of new things to train, after all, in the current war, making too many changes is likely to have negative effects. Just put all of the set that you have been used to for a long time to play. After all, no team can play without fighting back.
　　 The content of training is basically developed from the aspects of physical strength, coordination, and shooting. Of course, each player also has some special training tasks to complete, such as An Luo, after practicing five sets of three-pointers and mid-range, he starts to practice free throws! And Holiday and Alex are also practicing three-pointers.
　　 There is still a match every afternoon. After all, it is best to find problems in a confrontation. Of course, the intensity is not too great, and Alford is in control of the player's playing time. A proper amount of actual combat training can maintain the player's state of the game, but it must not increase the burden on the body.
　　 The entire training camp lasted for five days, starting on the 28th and ending on April 1.
　　 That night, An Luo was finally able to contact his family and friends via mobile phone. He called Fu Yao the first time because his wife had told him before the training camp that he and Daddy An would go to watch this Houston game.
　　 That's right, Daddy An is coming to the United States to watch An Luo games. This is his first time abroad, it's rare! So An Luo has to make sure whether Daddy An is here. After learning that Daddy An and Fu Yao have now arrived in Houston and have settled down, An Luo is relieved. Then An Luo called Tang Xiaoru again, she also wanted to go to Houston. But the other party refused An Luo's invitation, she was really embarrassed to take a charter flight with An Luo. But they have a lot of people to go with, so there is nothing to worry about.
After 　　 replied some more text messages, An Luo quickly packed his luggage and then rested.
　　 On April 2, all the players of the Bruins, including the huge logistics support team and coaching team, a group of nearly 50 people, embarked on the journey of the semi-finals. They first came to lax by bus, and then took a chartered flight to Houston.
　　 Houston, located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States. This city is world-renowned for its energy (especially oil), aviation industry and canals ~EbookFREE.me~ and it is also the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast.
　　 But for the vast majority of Chinese people, they hadn’t heard of this city much before 2002. It was not until the summer of 2002 when Yao Ming came to this city as the first foreign champion in the history of the NBA that Houston began to be quickly known in China.
　　 Perhaps for others, Houston is indeed a big city, but for these young people who have been in Los Angeles, there is a sense of outing wherever they go. Houston, too.
　　 Like most Chinese people, only Yao Ming and basketball have the impression of this city. For a long time, Houston was the home of the Chinese in the NBA, and domestic broadcasts would be prioritized.
　　 Unfortunately, there is no Yao Ming in Houston now. An Luo had fantasized countless times to go to the Toyota Center to watch a Yao Ming game.
　　 can only say, what a pity! Due to his overwhelmed body, Yao Ming retired early when he was still playing.
　　 In the Nike training camp, An Luo also met Yao Ming! The latter invited An Luo to play in Shanghai and left him his contact information. If it hadn't been for Fu Yao to contact him and An Luo was selected successfully, he should be in the cba now!
　　 However, he is also on this path now! One day, he will step into the Toyota Center as a player and play in the court where his predecessors have played. This can be regarded as making up for some regrets from another direction.
