Chapter 89 Washington State University

After taking away a victory from the University of Washington, Alford finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, they will rush to Pullman non-stop to challenge Washington State's second opponent: the Washington State University Cougars.

Pullman is a small town, a very small one.It is about 450 kilometers away from Seattle, and An Luo was dumbfounded when he arrived by plane.Pullman does have an airport, but there is no terminal building, only a big house.Its size is not as large as a long-distance bus station in a county in China.It is said that this place only has a population of 4 to [-], and the composition of the residents is very simple. The teachers and students of Washington State University account for more than half.

Many state universities in the United States are not located in the city where the state capital is located.Including other universities, it is very common to be built in small towns.For students, it should be a good study environment to concentrate on learning and have no distractions.

In fact, their academic strength is indeed very good.But when it comes to their basketball team, it's not far off.Compared to another university in their league, it's about as far away as Pullman is from Seattle.Since the establishment of the team, they have never achieved any achievements that can be taken.If this team is still known to some, it's probably because of Klay Thompson.

Therefore, UCLA's trip to Seattle this time is very hopeful to win two consecutive victories.

They found a hotel and stayed.This time there is no need for Alford to warn with a black face. The players returned to their rooms after dinner one by one, doing their own things, or in twos and fives, making appointments to play PSP and the Internet together. game.

It's not that these guys don't want to go out to play, they're used to the luxury and money in Los Angeles, and a small place like Pullman really doesn't attract them.

However, An Luo actually wanted to go out for a stroll.He took a look at the environment of this place on the bus. The roads are mostly slopes, and the low houses are on the hills, as if they were built on a hill, with green trees.There are not many high-rise buildings, and for small cities with sufficient land, there is no need for high-rise buildings at all.

Of course, in the end, he still didn't go out of the hotel, nor did he play games with Alex and the others.He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so he simply called Tang Xiaoru and told them how good he was in the game, how he helped the team win in the end, and so on.

The next day, Alford took An Luo and others to the home court of the Washington State University Cougars for adaptive training as usual.Of course, there are dedicated and responsible staff to contact in advance. After all, the other party also needs to conduct training, which is usually staggered.

There is also a small episode in the middle.When the bus drove into the campus of Washington State University, An Luo saw a very high-end gymnasium.Compared with UCLA's Paley Field, it is not a star and a half.

"It's really rich! It's a pity that this arena is lost!" He had to sigh.In terms of feeling, it is much better than the Wukesong and Oracle Stadiums he has been to.

As a result, Holiday, who was watching a movie next to him, told him that this was his football stadium.

This made An Luo very embarrassed!You know, Washington State University's football is much, much better than their basketball.Moreover, it is stronger than UCLA's football team.For them, the arena in front of them is still a bit shabby.You know, the University of Washington football stadium in Seattle not far away can seat nearly 10 people!

Later, this matter was always brought up by Holiday to laugh at An Luo.Now, of course, they are all focused on the game.

It may be that the two pairs are too different. Washington State University's own people know the situation of their own team, so they don't have too high pursuit.Therefore, An Luo did not feel the extremely uncomfortable feeling at the University of Washington's home court at their home court.

They gave the warmest cheers to their players, and at the same time smiled at the away players like An Luo.Although not so enthusiastic, they did not look coldly at each other, or even swear at each other.

In many cases, only after putting aside the outcome can one really enjoy a game.

As soon as the game started, UCLA took the initiative and firmly controlled the situation.

An Luo and Alex are blooming inside and out. They are extremely active on the offensive end, and their offensive efficiency is also very high.The home team's defense can't limit their play at all.In less than 10 minutes, they beat Washington State University with a score of 21:10.Then Alford waved his hand and replaced An Luo, Holiday, Prince, and Tony as starters.Alex led the team's second team to continue the game. Of course, Washington State University also had a rotation lineup on the field.

As soon as he played, Alex followed Alford's arrangement to control the ball and advance with the ball.In fact, in the previous period of time, Alex's desire to attack was still very strong, but now, he must focus on organization.

Alex beckoned Jock to come up to cover at the top of the arc. Jock's tall body blocked the opponent's defender firmly behind him, and Alex took advantage of the opportunity to kill to the free throw line.It's within range of him, and he's already hit a couple of shots from this spot this game.

As a result, the big center of Washington State University quickly rushed forward to prevent Alex from shooting.But his supplementary defense emptied Thomas at the basket. If he was replaced by a small point guard, he might not be able to find it immediately.But it was Alex with the ball, a nearly seven-footer with sharp eyes and quick hands, who slammed the ball under the center's arm and sent it to Thomas.

The latter's catch is a two-handed dunk.

From the wonderful cooperation of the two big men, there was a burst of exclamation and warm applause at the scene.

Thomas, who dunked and scored, was very excited.His ability to attack independently is almost zero. How can he not be excited to have such a passer on the field!
Alex, who got another assist, is also very happy, he likes his new role more and more.

A big organizer with a wide field of vision and functional shooting like him will always be a difficult point for opponents to deal with.This gave Alford a lot of space in the formation of troops, and he was very fortunate to have discovered such a talent.

An Luo and the others sat on the bench, talking and laughing.After seeing Thomas dunking successfully, each of them turned into a performer in an instant, with extraordinary momentum waving the towel on their faces.Especially the big black Tony, with a slightly exaggerated and shocked expression on his face, made An Luo admire him very much.It just happened to be caught by the live director.In an instant, there was a burst of laughter in the arena.
