Chapter 36 The next opponent is out
After playing in the first round of the NCAA National Championship, all members of the Wildcats returned to their hotel.
Before leaving, head coach McClop reminded his disciples that no one could leave the hotel privately without his arrangements.
All members of the Wildcats nodded. In such a critical period, no one can make mistakes.
After saying goodbye to their teammates, Sun Yi and Curry returned to the room together and then went about their own business.
In order not to abuse the dog, Curry went to the balcony to talk on the phone with Ayesha.
Sun Yi lay lazily on the bed and opened the system panel.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a moderately intense match and earning 1,000 training points."
"It seems that the overall intensity of Crazy San's game was pretty good, but I met a particularly weak team."
Seeing the rewards issued by the system, Sun Yi had a rough guess in his mind, and then turned his attention to other places.
"Today seems to be the day when the mall is refreshed, let's see if anything good comes out."
So, he opened the [Exchange Mall] page to check.
Previously, he spent a total of 1,100 points to unlock two product grids, and currently has a total of five product grids.
At this time, the items in these five open grids are:
[Ordinary Nutrient Solution] 10: Selling for 200 training points.
[Ordinary Nutrient Solution] 50: Selling for 1,000 training points.
[2x Bonus Card] 1: Selling for 500 training points.
[4x Bonus Card] 1: Selling for 1,000 training points.
Exclusive equipment: Wristband (white) 1: Priced at 10,000 training points.
"Hey, new items are out!"
Sun Yi immediately perked up and checked the details of the newly released items.
[White Wristband]: Permanently increases the wearer's strength attribute by 1 point.
"This exclusive equipment is awesome!"
After Sun Yi sighed in his heart, he checked the detailed introduction about the exclusive equipment.
After checking it, he learned that the exclusive equipment levels are divided into five levels: white, green, blue, purple and gold.
5 white equipment are combined into 1 green equipment, and so on.
"This is another gold-spitting beast that requires a lot of training points."
Sun Yi complained, and then he spent 12,700 training points to pack up all the items in the mall and take them away.
After placing the [White Wristband] in the equipment slot, Sun Yi turned off the system panel, then found his pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, Sun Yi saw the primary school student returning to the room and asked curiously.
"Stephen, why did you finish the phone call so quickly without chatting more?"
"Sun, you know we have to prepare for the next game. We can only talk about the love between our children in the future. Nothing can stop us from competing for the championship." Curry replied righteously.
After hearing this, Sun Yi couldn't adapt to the serious-looking Curry in front of him.
Why do the unfunny primary school students look so inconsistent!
"Well, we really can't be distracted, and we can't use mobile phones to surf the Internet during this period, so we can concentrate on preparing for the war." Sun Yi suggested.
Curry nodded in agreement.
Then they went back to their beds and lay down to sleep.
"Sun, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, I'm counting sheep to help me fall asleep."
Sun Yi originally wanted to enter the virtual dreamland, but when Curry called him, he made up an excuse to avoid it.
"Then let's talk about fifty cents."
Sun Yi could only give up his previous plan and started making up nonsense with Curry.
After all, I had just finished the knockout round and I was in a state of excitement, so it was not easy to fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Yi saw that there was no movement from Curry and heard a faint cry. Knowing that Curry had fallen asleep, Sun Yi immediately entered the virtual dreamland for special training.
Early the next morning, when Sun Yi was still sleeping, a ringing phone woke him up.
"Expensive dad's phone number?"
Sun Yi was a little confused and didn't know why his father called him, so he picked up the phone immediately.
"Hey, dad, what's the matter?" Sun Yi asked.
"You brat, can't you make a phone call if you have nothing to do?"
"Tell me about the good things you have done. Didn't you tell your mother that joining the basketball team was just a hobby, so why did it get published in the newspaper? You brat, tell me honestly what's going on!"
Sun Yi learned that he had "uncovered the incident" and said what he had already thought about.
"You may not believe it, but your son is a genius. He is very talented in basketball. He quickly became a starting player and accidentally led the team to the NCAA national championship."
Sun Yi's dad is a senior football fan, so he naturally knows about March Madness.
"You brat, just talk nonsense, I don't know how much you weigh.
When I paid you to play basketball, you said nothing and wanted to be a rich second generation just waiting to die. How have you figured it out now?"
"I was young, frivolous and ignorant back then. Now I have figured it out and decided to do something big. I don't want to be a salty fish anymore." Sun Yi said without blushing and without a beating heart.
Dad Sun was a little happy and a little surprised at the same time.
Could it be that this brat has changed his ways?!
Judging from the description in the report, this guy doesn’t look like he’s just playing around, he does seem to be serious about it.
Does that mean that the old Sun family is about to produce a national player who will bring glory to the country?
As a fan, Sun's father felt a little excited, and then said: "Since you have decided, then work hard, I will work with you to convince your mother, you don't have to worry about this, just play your game well.
At the same time, you must always remember that your mother and I are your strongest backers. Even if you don't make a name for yourself, you can still inherit hundreds of millions of family assets when you come back."
After hearing this, Sun Yi felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
Maybe this is the selfless care from family members!
"Well, I will definitely give the old Sun family credit, and I will never come back until I make a name for myself."
After hearing this, Sun's father felt that his son had grown up.
I am very glad that I sent this brat to study abroad.
"You brat, please stay safe over there and call home if you have nothing to do."
"Okay, you and mom should also take care of your health."
After hanging up the phone from Cheap Dad, Sun Yi calmed down, woke up Curry to get up and wash up, and then went to the restaurant to have breakfast together.
After breakfast, Sun Yi and others went to the agreed place to meet the team.
Although the second round of competition will have to wait a few days, we still need to carry out daily training to maintain a good competitive condition.
In the morning, head coach McClop arranged some basic training.
High-intensity training cannot be arranged at this time. If an accident occurs or injuries occur, the gain outweighs the loss.
In the afternoon, McClop gathered the players in the hotel conference room to lay out the tactical arrangements for the top 32 games.
"Our opponent for the next game has been announced, they are the Arizona State University Sun Devils."
"There's no question that they're not going to be able to get away with it as easily as Montana State did."
After McClop finished beating his disciple, he continued: "Their core player James Harden is a sophomore player who serves as a shooting guard. He averages 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. He is predicted to be ranked in the top five in the draft."
When Sun Yi heard Harden's name, he immediately cheered up.
"What a fate! I didn't expect to meet the bearded Harden."
McClop continued to introduce the characteristics of Harden's playing style.
"Harden has a very strong body, flexible feet, is good at breakthroughs, and likes to use step-back jumpers.
Another point worth noting is that he plays very smart, actively contacting opponents to draw fouls when breaking through, and can get 7.6 free throws per game."
"This is a very strong opponent. I hope you will take it seriously. They are not the cats and dogs we have encountered before."
McClop emphasized Harden's strength and hoped to gain the attention of his disciples.
Sun Yi nodded silently. He knew Harden very well and knew what kind of existence his opponent was, so naturally he would not take it lightly.
Seeing that his disciples were paying attention to it, McClop nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Assistant Coach Smith to send the compiled information to each player.
"The Sun Devils' tactics mainly revolve around Harden. The other players are average. It can be said that as long as Harden is guarded, the Sun Devils will definitely lose."
"But our defensive strategy in the next game must be the opposite. It is difficult to completely restrict a scorer like Harden. We have to start with his teammates."
After laying the groundwork, McClop began to assign offensive and defensive tactics to the players, as well as the respective tasks of the starting players.
After listening to this, Sun Yi immediately thought of the way the Warriors played against the Rockets in his previous life.
"Coach, I have an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Sun, tell me what you think." McClop is very open-minded and will adopt anything that is beneficial to the team.
Immediately, Sun Yi expressed all his thoughts...
After the tactical meeting, McClop asked the players to go back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
After the team disbanded, Sun Yi followed Curry and the others to a restaurant for dinner.
"Master Ha, you can't stop the Wildcats unless you call on the big brother and the second brother."
Chapter completed!
