Chapter 72

For a professional player, away games are an extremely important part of his entire career.Although An Luo is still a student and not considered a professional player, he still has to go to away games.

When An Luo was in Shudu, he also played away games.But they were all in the same city, not too far apart.If you change to the NBA, some teams often have to cross more than half of the United States. CBA may go further!
Regardless of the league, away games are not easy for the players.No matter in terms of preparation or rest, there is not enough home team, and some teams have a relatively harsh geographical environment at home. Unaccustomed to the environment and environment will cause the players of the visiting team to be in poor condition.The most irritating thing is that during the away game, the home fans will interfere with the mental state of the visiting team's players, and bring environmental momentum and oppression through cheering and shouting.

In short, the difficulty of away games will be even greater.Often ordinary players will perform abnormally and fail to play.But those superstars, on the contrary, the less friendly the environment, the better they performed.It is their favorite thing to quiet down an arena alone.

Led by Alford, the UCLA group set off for Spokane, Washington two days in advance.Their next opponent is the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

"Ann, you may not have experienced away games. I used to play away games in high school. It felt so bad! It was like entering a slaughterhouse. Those spectators seemed to want to kill you! You For every shot you make, you are not greeted with applause and shouts, but boos all over the sky."

Alex sat on the bus to the airport and chatted with An Luo about the away game.In fact, An Luo himself has experienced it, but the Chinese are still much more reserved than the Americans, so there will not be such a big contrast.

Fortunately, Gonzaga University is not very strong, especially for the current UCLA, it seems a little weak.

After the group arrived in Spokane, it was already dark.Alford took his coaching team, logistics team, and An Luo and his group of boys straight to the hotel they booked.They need a good rest and have an adaptive training session tomorrow.Although it is a warm-up game, Alford still has to prepare according to the official game, so that these players can get familiar with it first.

Dinner is eaten at the hotel, of course it is impossible to do whatever you want.Although the nutritionist did not come to Gonzaga, Alford, as the head coach, still knew what the players could and could not eat before the game.

After the meal, Alford met his players very cautiously, and said solemnly:
"Boys, I know, you must be thinking about where to go next. Spokane is a beautiful city, but tonight does not belong to you." Speaking of this, Alford shrugged his shoulders and looked at The whispering players continued: "These two nights, you must stay in the room honestly and have a good rest. I don't want to see one or a few of you lose your spirits during the game. You all understand , I'm not joking."

Alford is still a relatively tactful person, but if he speaks directly, it means that the problem is very serious.Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms.

The next day's training did not arrange too much weight.Alford just arranged some recovery training, and then played a group match.The main thing is to look for the status. After all, I haven't played a game in three or four days, so it can be regarded as warming up for tomorrow's game.

On December 12th, at 13 o'clock in the morning, the competition officially started.

Gonzaga's arena is worse than UCLA's, but it has everything it should have.After all, they are all league teams.

UCLA's starting lineup hasn't changed much, and Alford is happy with his current lineup.Holiday organized the team's offense, and the others spread out, looking for their own opportunities.An Luo was still very active from the beginning. He got the ball near the corner, and then directly shot a three-pointer.

The ball didn't go in.An Luo originally wanted to try his hand and find out how he felt.Besides, it's not surprising that there are too many missed shots in the game.But the Gonzaga crowd on the sidelines was happy.The reason is also very simple: this is their home court, and there are only two things that can make them laugh, the home team scores, and the away team doesn't score.

"Hey, boy! This isn't Los Angeles, where the hoops only accept shots from Gonzagas!"

"I knew this skinny Asian kid couldn't do it. Gonzaga is not a place to score casually!"

"Go back! You bastard who only knows how to shoot!"

……

The rebound was grabbed by the center of Gonzaga University, and the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides immediately changed.

Anlu quickly ran towards his defender, and then kept an eye on the fanatical Gonzaga fans.They really don't care, some of them are so loud that the players in the stadium can hear them.He finally felt the atmosphere of the away game.To be honest, compared with Paley Stadium, it is two worlds.Of course, those players who visited UCLA's school as a guest felt the same level.

Gonzaga University's No. [-] is a strong black kid who is taller than An Luo and has a lot of strength.When An Luo was not careful, the opponent forced him to squeeze past him. With a European step, he passed Alex and scored a layup.An Luo, who was half a beat late, could only shake his head helplessly.

The boos were still too loud.After being successfully singled out by others, An Luo received even more boos.

"Call it! Be proud! You won't be able to scream later." An Luo thought hard in his heart.

"Ann, are you okay?" Holiday on the side noticed An Luo's distraction and thought something was wrong with him.

"Oh, I'm fine, Aaron. Give me the ball later, and I'll go again!" An Luo has never been a person who can't fight back.

"No problem!" He patted An Luo's butt, then went to catch the ball.

Sure enough, Holiday threw the ball to An Luo as soon as halftime passed.Having a few friends on the team is still a must.

The black boy quickly came over, stretched out his hands to block the direction of An Luo's breakthrough, and then said to him: "It seems that your three-pointer is not very good!"

An Luo didn't talk nonsense to him, and just walked out.The other party might not know An Luo well, so he followed his footsteps and moved a step forward to the right.The moment An Luo's right foot hit the ground, he suddenly exerted force, his left leg took a small step back, and then retracted his right leg.

Take off and shoot another three-pointer.
