Chapter 111 Corvallis
Santa Monica Beach is a very relaxing place.Not far from Los Angeles, it only takes 10 minutes to drive.But compared with the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, it seems very peaceful.It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the transportation is convenient.The scenery here is very beautiful, it can be said that it is the perfect combination of seaside charm and coastal elegance.Therefore, many TV dramas and movies are often filmed here.

Actually, it's not the most suitable time for An Luo and the others to come to Santa Monica Beach at this time. The Santa Monica beach in January is already a bit cold.But after seeing those people surfing the sea, An Luo felt that it might not be that cold.

The beach is very big, people are scattered here, and it doesn't feel crowded.On the pier on the shore, there are people fishing everywhere.Along the beach, you can see people doing sports everywhere: running, roller skating, tennis, and basketball.It seems that Americans have a heart that loves sports.

An Luo and Tang Xiaoru just strolled on the beach.There are many seagulls on the beach, chasing and fighting with each other, and they are not afraid of the people here at all.An Luo felt that it might be because this was their territory in the first place.

Tang Xiaoru was so childish that she chased these seabirds on the beach, but she was so scared that she yelled.That childish appearance made An Luo laugh heartily, and then there was another round of chasing and fighting.

Tired from running, the two sat on the beach to rest.Bury your feet in the sand, which is warm at first, but quickly becomes cold.An Luo looked at the sky, letting the sea breeze blow on his face.For a moment, I didn't think about anything, and there was a tranquility.

The most beautiful thing is the sunset here.The golden brilliance covered the entire Santa Monica like silk, the sky, the sea, and the beach were all the same color.The colorful Ferris wheel on the century-old ancient pier extending into the sea is slowly rotating in the continuous light.An Luo once saw the hero and heroine strolling on the beach under the Ferris wheel in countless Hollywood movie shots, and felt that it was very interesting and far away from his life.But now, he felt very close to himself.

Turning her head, Tang Xiaoru's long hair fluttered wildly in the sea breeze, and the setting sun fell on it, giving off a feeling of happiness.

In the evening, in Santa Monica, there are various snacks and performances. In the amusement park next to it, you can take a tour bus and overlook the entire beach from the air.

After staying in Santa Monica for three days, An Luo and Tang Xiaoru returned to UCLA.

On the morning of January 1, all UCLA Bruins players, coaching staff, and logistics support team members gathered in the training arena at Paley Stadium.After a simple inspection, they will set off for Oregon to start this road trip.

The first stop was Corvallis, where Oregon State University is located.

This is a very rural city.Like Pullman, which An Luo had been to before, it was a university town.Located on the west coast of the United States, between San Francisco and Seattle.With Los Angeles, which is also on the west coast, it takes about 4 hours by plane.

This time An Luo also brought his own tablet.He didn't like playing cards with Alex and the others, nor did he like watching anime with Holiday.Long-distance flights are so boring, you can't sleep with your head covered every time!
He downloaded his favorite game-Xiaoxinxiaole.He has completed more than 300 levels. It is said that someone has passed a thousand levels. I don't know if he has rescued the village chief's grandfather.Today's physical strength is useless, while I have nothing to do, I can climb a little further.

When the plane reached the sky over Corvallis, An Luo was woken up by Holiday.His dozens of points of physical strength had been exhausted long ago, so he fell asleep in the end.

He glanced at the low city through the window.The streets look very regular, and the whole city is like a checkerboard grid, with streets running north-south and roads running east-west.The houses are all kinds of villas of different colors, which are very beautiful.Those villas are hidden among the trees, almost every house has a lawn in front of the house, there are tall trees in front of and behind the house, and there are many varieties of trees, so the leaves you see are colorful.

This time, because we set off in the morning, it was still very early when we arrived at the destination.Alford had already eaten lunch on the plane, and seeing the players looking very excited, Alford simply suggested that everyone walk to the hotel they booked.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, including those members of the coaching staff.An Luo was particularly interested. Last time, An Luo wanted to take a good look around Pullman, but Alford didn't agree.

So, a nutritionist and a team chef followed the bus to the hotel.Others walked to the hotel.

Along the way, An Luo didn't see tall buildings, nor bustling markets.There are no bustling crowds, no loud noises, and not so many traffic lights.The environment here is very clean, the air is very good, there is no dust, and the shoes are not dirty all the way to the hotel.The people here are like living in nature, without deliberate carvings, everything is so natural, leisurely and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle, with a more pure heart, this should be a good place for retirement.And I heard from Alford that another feature of this place is safety. The crime rate in Corvallis is the lowest in the United States, and the safety factor ranks among the top five in the United States.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already dark.Alford once again warned these energetic young men to stay in the hotel well-behaved and not allow anyone to go out without permission.

In fact, no one wants to go out.There is nothing to attract them to this place, it is impossible to go around at night like in the afternoon!

An Luo still shared a room with Holiday.This is a relatively quiet guy, but fortunately An Luo doesn't make trouble.If I had shared a room with Alex, I might have had something to do tonight!

The next day, Alford took his players to the Oregon State University home court.This time the communication was relatively harmonious, and I could train there all day long.In the past, it was good enough to borrow for a whole morning.

The training tasks arranged by the coaching staff are relatively simple, and they are all routine training.

In the morning, there are some restorative ones, such as stretching, strength, physical strength and so on.After all, these guys have rested for three or four days, and the training intensity is too high to cause injuries.

In the afternoon, it was confrontation training, and the two sides played more intensely.It is estimated that they have not played for a few days, and these people are very excited.Alford kept adjusting the lineup and arranging tactics to help these players find the feeling of the game.
