Chapter 114 Return to Los Angeles
On the afternoon of the 24th, the UCLA team returned to Los Angeles by special plane.With the roar of the plane, they officially ended their trip to Oregon this time.
An Luo sat in the plane, opened the curtains, and looked out the window.The high-rise buildings in Eugene City gradually disappeared.What can be seen is only the blue sky and white clouds, and some unknown birds.Then, as the plane broke through the clouds, nothing could be seen.
It's easy when you come, and it's easy when you leave.
This road trip is perfect for UCLA!But to be able to gain two consecutive victories, I have to say, it is very rare.
The time has come to the end of January, the entire 1-2015 season has passed halfway, and the "March Madness" is getting closer and closer. UCLA has a record of 2016 wins and [-] loss in the past [-] games played.They only lost to the University of Kansas at the beginning of the season, and they have made great progress since then, and they have won [-] consecutive victories!Such a record not only ranks first in the Pacific Twelve School League, but is also one of the few in the entire NCAA!
All UCLA people are ecstatic, they have not played such a record in a long time.Many people have already begun to look forward to UCLA's wonderful performance in this year's "March Madness" and expect the team to hit the championship again.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 crowns going forward, that would be too long!
On the latest weekly team rankings released by the Associated Press NCAA, UCLA's ranking has once again risen a few places because of its outstanding record.
With the game between Kansas and Oklahoma coming to an end, No.1 on the leaderboard was finally confirmed.After beating Oklahoma City in three overtimes at home, Kansas beat Texas Tech on the road, and the No. [-] position was unanimously recognized.Although Oklahoma lost to Kansas, it lost its chance to reach the top.However, the ranking has not been affected by this, and it is still ranked second.
Behind these two teams is Maryland, followed by UCLA, 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 last week.
In the evening, the plane finally reached the sky over Los Angeles.On the road like a spider web, densely packed cars are clearly visible.Prosperity and traffic jams are the business card of Los Angeles.
An Luo never denied that Los Angeles is a beautiful city.Although he has lived here for more than half a year, he still feels very surprised.The sunset on the coast of Southern California dyed half of the sky red, and the whole city of Los Angeles seemed to be covered with a layer of brocade, shining brightly.At this time, Los Angeles 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 scenes from old movies.The golden sun shines on the road like a dream.The stretching palm trees and billboards on both sides of the road also add a touch of warmth.Where the car lights criss-cross, you can see the setting sun slanting through the gaps between the trees, dyeing the city an intoxicating orange.
It was already dark when we arrived at UCLA.Alford specifically told these boys to take a good rest and keep training.Then it disbanded.
An Luo wasn't in the mood to go out with Alex and have a good time. The 4 or 5 hours of continuous long-distance trek made him feel particularly tired.
He especially admires those professional players now. The CBA and the European League are better, and the schedule is not too intensive, so they will have more time between home and away games, and they can get enough rest time.
But the NBA is different.
Each NBA team plays 41 away games a season, a large portion of which are in different time zones.Although the league has made adjustments to the 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 American professional leagues with the NBA, only plays one game a week.
A season of 82 regular-season games and possible playoffs is enough fatigue for these players. A 41-game away game trip is just adding insult to injury.And, that's without counting the preseason and playoffs.
But it all has to get used to.After all, for ordinary people, the salaries of NBA players are very high, and the benefits are also enviable.Then, you will definitely have to pay an unimaginable price for ordinary people.Such as high-intensity training, wandering life.
The next day, An Luo had a rare late sleep.He is a relatively 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 has already complained to him many times on the phone, saying that he forgot his mother when he had a wife, and there must be no hope for him in the future.
Actually, it's really not my fault that Fu Yao complained.An Luo now spends much more time with Tang Xiaoru than with his old mother.It's not enough to say "have a wife and forget your 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 come to her side.
In fact, when this person grows up, it's normal that he doesn't like to hang out with his parents.It's not what people often say, everyone likes to have their own independent space and doesn't like to be controlled.Of course there is a reason for this.But it's more because these children who are growing up slowly start to have their own circle of friends, their own love affairs, and their own careers, all of which take a lot of time.Therefore, there is even less left to the parents.
Take An Luo for example.It's not that he doesn't want to accompany his old mother.But really no time.On weekends, he has to train and compete; on weekdays, he has to go to class; occasionally he has to go out with Alex and these guys to have a good time; of course, he also has to accompany Tang Xiaoru.
Fortunately, there is no class now, so I finally have enough time.
When I arrived in Irvine, I naturally had to complain.However, both mother and son were very happy.
Parents all over the world are the same. Many times they talk fiercely, but in fact they will not really get angry with their children.
After staying with Fu Yao for two days, An Luo returned to UCLA.Because they are about to start a new round of training.
An Luo is relatively familiar with the two opponents this week.The University of Washington Huskies from Seattle and the Washington State Cougars from Pullman.Two old rivals, last time UCLA won on the road, this time at Paley Stadium, it will be easier.
