Unaware of the attention paid to the Black Mamba, Li returned to New York in the middle of the night, and the game against Kentucky began on April 4th, which meant that the boys from Columbia could rest in New York for a few days.

"Who would have thought that we would survive to the end in the crazy March!" Maodore was emotional.

"I didn't expect to make it to the top four in my final year of university." Steve Franksky, the former starting point guard, looked at Li Wu and said, "Lee, I think the most correct decision I made was to give up the starting position to you, without you we wouldn't have been able to reach the NCAA Final Four." ”

If someone from another team said this, it would definitely affect the atmosphere in the locker room, but here at Columbia University, it doesn't exist, and Li Wu's strong scoring ability and seemingly endless physical strength have led this Ivy League belly team all the way to the final four.

Compared with the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Quarterfinals, the attention of the Final Four is a new level, not only the live broadcast in the United States, but even the audience on the scene is several times more than the first two, because the Final Four are generally held in American football stadiums or football stadiums, and the number of seats is basically more than 70,000, which is also an arrangement to meet the needs of fans to watch the NCAA games as much as possible.

The next game between Columbia and Kentucky will be played in downtown Indianapolis, the state capital of Indiana, at Lucas Oil Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 70,000.

For these lads of the Lions, from the day they entered the basketball team in their freshman year, they never imagined that so many people could watch them play, after all, the Ivy League team is going to make it to the NCAA Final Four is nothing short of a dream.

Even Maodore, a German national team player who has always thought highly of himself, thinks so: "Yes, Lee, to be honest, I was just joking when you said you were going to go to March Madness with us, although later you showed your shooting ability, I think we can reach the Sweet 16 at best, and then when I met Wisconsin, I was desperate, but you always stepped up when it mattered...."

"Oh! Guys, don't be so sensual, you're embarrassing me like this. Li Wu said with a smile.

While talking, they walked out of the airport hall, and after saying goodbye to each other, Li Wu and Abby and He Dabao walked to the airport parking lot, since Li Wu bought the second-hand Cadillac SRX, the range of activities has been much larger, and it is also a lot freer, if before, he would choose to come to the airport with the team's chartered car.

After the three of them got into the car, He Dabao took his mobile phone and said, "Big brother, your order has gone up again!" DraftExpress puts you in the 8 to 10 range, 2k puts you in the 6 to 8 pick, and ESPM puts you in the 9 to 11 range. ”

"It's not an exaggeration to say that NCAA scoring champions are generally selected with these picks, such as CJ McCollum at the Trail Blazers and JJ Redick at the Clippers who are both scoring champions in college, and they were selected with the 10th and 11th picks, respectively." Abby said.

"If that's the case, I think Brother Lee's bookstore must be ahead of them, for the simple reason that both McCollum and Redick played four years in college and were both 22 years old when they entered the NBA! There is not much room for improvement in technology, and Brother Li is only 20 years old this year, the same year as this year's manor popular Downs, and there is still potential to be tapped in the future! He Dabao said.

Now He Dabao is becoming more and more like an agent, and he analyzes some of the forms of basketball. Obviously, for a top student at Columbia Business School, entering the whole new field of basketball did not cause him much trouble.

"Yes, Lee's potential is indeed higher than these two NCAA scoring champions, and Lee has a chance to break an NCAA three-point shooting record held by Redick. After all, as of today, Lee's three-point shooting rate has remained at a terrifying 71%. Abby said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I haven't coordinated my breakthrough with the ball and the layup, otherwise I could still compete with Towns and Okafor, every time I break through with the ball, I can't find the best balance between my feet and the frequency of dribbling, and when I go to the basket, because of the impact of the acceleration of the ball, I can't play absolute speed when stepping up." Li Wu said with annoyance.

"Big brother! There are other ways you can improve your pick, such as grabbing a few more rebounds! You haven't grabbed a single rebound since the start of the game, and now fans all over the world are making fun of you! I think with your athleticism, you're a lot better at grabbing rebounds than Rondo. He Dabao said.

Li Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother! You're right, it's a good idea! But it's too late to think about this now, if I play against those teams with not very good talent before, maybe I still have a chance, but you look at Wisconsin, which team doesn't have one or more powerful interior players, and the next four finals, whether it's Kentucky or Duke University or even the University of Michigan, have interior players who can handle it, not to mention that I must now pinch the opponent's wing arrows, there is no way to go back and grab rebounds, unless you give up defense, once this happens, As long as the opponent gets the rebound, it will form an opportunity for a second offense in the open space, so the method of relying on rebounds to brush up the data is no longer reliable, at least in the semifinals, this trick is useless. ”

As long as Abby is present, Li Wu and He Dabao will insist on communicating in English, which is a kind of respect for Abby, and it is also convenient for Abby to join their conversation.

So after hearing the conversation between the two, Abby made a very useful suggestion: "Lee, as the team's defensive leader, you really can't easily leave your position, as for the protection of the rebound, it's better to leave it to the team friendly, but just now I heard you say that when you go to the basket, it is because of the adverse impact of the acceleration of the ball and interferes with the impact of your layup, right?" ”

"Yes Abby, my speed of starting one step is very fast, but once I hold the ball, the speed of advancement will decrease, this problem has been since the time against Harvard University, and it has not improved until now, and the impact of stepping to the basket is really not strong when the speed of the dribble is decreasing." Li Wu said.

"You mean, if you don't accelerate with the ball and go straight to the basket, your impact won't be affected?" Abby asked rhetorically.

"Yes, if I go directly to the basket, my impact will only increase, and even exceed my one-step starting speed........" Li Wu said and suddenly woke up: "I understand, you want me to choose to step to the basket after holding the ball, skip the process of advancing with the ball, so that I can strengthen my attack power to impact the basket!" ”
