Li Wu's arm span has reached 212CM, and the difference with his height has reached a full 25 centimeters, and you must know that the arm span and height difference between Rondo, a guard who is good at grabbing rebounds in the league, is only 28 centimeters, which undoubtedly shows Li Wu's superior physical talent.
In fact, the development of Li Wu's arms and fingers has exceeded the development of height since he practiced martial arts, which made him worry that he would become Uncle Liu Huang with hands longer than his knees, but fortunately he has not reached such an exaggerated level.
As for the standing touch height Li Wu is 265 cm, as far as his height of 187 is concerned, this touch height is already very talented, you must know that the flying man Jordan with a height of 198 is only 269 cm.
"This arm span and touch height are about the same as mine....!" The man Adam called Jeff spoke, he was a 203cm striker, and Li Wu was half a head shorter than him.
"The strength of a top centre-forward, great physicality! Top explosiveness! Can you still have a very accurate three-pointer? Smith was a little skeptical of Adam's words, so he said to Li Wu: "Young man, shoot a few more three-pointers!" ”
"Yes, sir!" After Li Wu finished speaking, he immediately threw six three-pointers in a row, all of which were without jumpers, and all six goals were scored.
"Can you try a jumper?" Smith tried his best to suppress his tone, making himself appear less excited.
Li Wu agreed, and made ten jump shots in a row, each time jumping very high, and shooting on the wing, bottom corner, and arc outside the three-point line, except for a three-point shot on the left wing, all hit, which made Li Wu once again confirm that he was not as stable as he was in the same place, and he thought he still needed to practice.
It seems that martial arts and basketball are not all the same thing! Li Wu thought to himself.
Although Li Wu felt that he wanted to contact more, but Smith was very satisfied, in his eyes, this sophomore Chinese student got ten consecutive dry pull-up jump shots and got a score of one out of ten, this kind of shooting rate is already very terrifying, the point is: this guy's jump shot is particularly high, in the NCAA's defensive intensity, this jump shot height is almost difficult to block.
"Adam! Good job! Smith turned to Adam and then continued to Li Wu: "How about your dribbling breakthrough and back-to-back singles?" ”
Li Wu was stunned when he heard this, when he was on the domestic junior high school and high school varsity teams, he played a forward swingman, and his dribbling breakthrough was good among domestic middle school students, but in the United States, from the perspective of the NCAA, it was definitely below average, and as for back singles, he had never touched it.
Dribbling and running is not the same as simply performing light skills, and Li Wu is confident that he can't raise the speed of dribbling to the same level as his own body, at least not yet.
"Sir, dribbling and back-to-back singles are my weak points." Li Wu said honestly.
As soon as these words came out, the players, including Kyle, breathed a sigh of relief, obviously with the meaning of "this guy still has weaknesses".
"Thank God, otherwise I would have thought he was a cultivator." Kyle muttered to himself.
"Oh...."Smith was a little disappointed in his heart, this kind of power and explosiveness, and such long arms, if the dribble broke above average.... That's a rampage tank!
"You're at the top of the arc with a dribble, a breakaway layup, and a back-to-back single." Smith said.
Li Wu got the ball, dribbled a few times, and took out his own level of playing the varsity team to dribble to the basket, because his fingers became slender in the practice of martial arts, so he easily grabbed the basketball, and after a three-step layup, he directly pulled the frame with one arm and dunked, with the coordination of his body, the action was still very beautiful.
The dunk won a round of applause, but Adam and Smith sighed, and they both saw that Li Wu's explosive power was less than 60% when he dribbled, which was also impressive, but it could not run rampant in the NCAA. Not to mention that his pace of layups is too sluggish, such an arm span and explosiveness, if it is paired with a European step layup, it is the most wonderful.
"Jeff, you go defend Lee's back-to-back singles." Smith said.
"Yes, sir!" After Jeff finished speaking, he came to Li Wu's side and shook hands with him in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Jeff-Cobe and I am a sophomore this year. ”
After Li Wu shook hands with him, he began to dribble with his back in the horn area, and slowly chiseled to the paint Jeff is 203cm tall and weighs two hundred pounds, and his strength is very sufficient, but he was pushed back by Li Wu, and Jeff also knew that he could not compete with Li Wu in terms of strength, after all, his bench press level was only 140 kg, so he just opened his arms, compressed the space for Li Wu to turn and jump, and retreated with Li Wu's body.
Smith saw it in his eyes, stopped without waiting for Li Wu to shoot, and said to Li Wu: "Okay, young man, you don't know anything about back-to-back singles." With your strength, you should pout your ass and push straight away from Jeff to get room to turn, and then hook your hand to shoot! Or just buckle it up! But that's okay, my team still needs a pitcher like you. Judging from your layups and dribble breaks, you should have learned basketball for a while, but the foundation is not solid, these three days, Adam will give you special defensive drills, and three days later, against Princeton, I will verify your defensive ability. ”
After saying that, Smith turned to Adam and said, "Register him, let him take Noha's place." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Li Wu said sincerely.
'You don't need to thank me, your ability is useful to the team and that's the only reason to stay.' Smith is as rigid as most white Americans.
After saying that, Smith said to Ma Odo and a few other team members: "Don't forget tomorrow's confrontation training. After saying that, he turned around and left.
After Smith left, Adam smiled and said to the rest of the team, "Thank you, Lee!" I'm going to compile his profile and register him, so that's all for today's training. After that, he left.
"Li, welcome to the Columbia University Lions, you will be the first Chinese in the team's history." After seeing Li Wu's physical condition and ability, he showed the respect he deserved.
After welcoming Li Wu, Maodore began to formally introduce the other three players present, in fact, except for Jeff Cobbe, the other two players were all substitutes, Kyle Castellin was a defender, and the tallest white man was called Connor Wirth, who was a backup center.
Kyle and Voss also admired Li Wu's physical fitness and projection ability, and gave him a friendly welcome.
Students who can get into Columbia, even if they are athletic students, have good IQs, so when you show respectable strength, these Columbia students will show the utmost friendliness, which is not the same as the team atmosphere that many NCAA basketball schools think highly of.
After all, most of the students at Columbia University don't plan to rely on basketball to eat, they do it more for love.
