Jeff and Stevens are actually in a similar situation, they are coaching teams that are now on the fringes of the playoffs, and they both have good draft picks, but they don't have the opportunity to get high-level picks like the first-round pick, the roster pick, and the scout pick, so they both want to find a good role player in the draft market.

Li Wu's 3D ability is clearly what both coaches are looking for, and they both feel that Li Wu is a practical player who can be plug-and-play, and he definitely deserves a lottery spot in this draft year.

It's just that the level of the Ivy League has always been low and not favored, so Li Wu has not been noticed by major draft websites and scouts yet, but both Jeff and Stevens are sure that Colombia with Li Wu will be able to easily get out of the Ivy League, and for the Lions, Li Wu's role is much more important than that of Maodor, who was selected for the German national team.

It's just that Jeff and Stevens have made very different decisions, Jeff has made up his mind to use the Sun's lottery to get this Chinese, and Stevens chose to enter the playoffs is the first choice, if he can't get in, he is also willing to use his Celtics lottery to take Li Wu, provided that this lottery is signed after 10, if it is the top ten, Stevens will consider other options.

After the two thought and made a decision, at the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Wu continued to give what he wanted in the half of Pennsylvania, although Coach Jerome arranged some trapping tactics against Li Wu, but Li Wu's start speed was too fast, with the talent of their players could not keep up at all, so there was still no way to stop Li Wu's score, Li Wu played on the court for 10 minutes and got a score of 24 points on 8-of-9 shooting before being replaced.

In the process, the Chinese audience shouted and cheered wildly, until Li Wu scored 33 points and left the game, the Chinese audience stood up to applaud him, and then took pictures of his heroic posture with their mobile phones.

Jeff said to his daughter: "This Chinese kid is not at all the same level as those on the court, his running ability and projection ability are outrageous, and if he hadn't given up defending later, I'm afraid he would have two or three more steals." ”

Abby listened to her father while photographing the China around her, and suddenly thought of what her father said at halftime, and immediately looked at his father with beautiful blue eyes and said: "Dad, you just said that you want to use Phoenix's lotto to win this Chinese?" ”

"Yes, Abby, I just said that, and I plan to do it, but you don't seem to listen carefully to your father, but are filming the Chinese around you." Jeff said.

"Oh~ I'm sorry Dad, it's the first time I've felt the atmosphere of China's home stadium in the United States, and I can't help but pat it, and I'm going to put it on Facebook, but thinking of what you just said, I decided to change my approach. I'm going to do a follow-up interview for this Chinese player. Abby said with a smile.

"Abby? Are you kidding? You're doing an internship in Los Angeles and you're doing a follow-up visit to an NCAA player in New York? Abby, seriously, although I think this Chinese kid is a very qualified 3-and-D player, but he doesn't show his dribbling ability, he's short, and I haven't seen him go to the basket, so he's just a good role player, and he can be a puzzle piece of the overall game, but he doesn't have the potential to be a superstar, and I think if you want to choose one person to follow this rookie, Carl-Anthony Towns of the University of Kentucky, D'Angelo Russell of Ohio State University, Jahir Okafor of Duke University is the best candidate. ”

Jeff kindly reminded his daughter that although he planned to use the lottery to win Li Wu, it was because her draft pick was not enough to win the three people just mentioned, otherwise he would not have looked at Li Wu more, although now this kid seems to have a good offensive and defensive level. But he wasn't well-rounded enough and didn't have enough means to influence the game.

Abby smiled and shook her head: "Dad, sports reporters all over the United States are rushing to report on the three people you mentioned, if I also join, then my article will not have any new ideas, but." My dear dad, you look at these crazy Chinese kids, thinking about who the last Chinese entered the NBA league through lotto, what year was it, and then thinking about the Chinese market and potential attention behind this No. 21, I dare to say that if you use lotto to sign him to enter the Suns, there will be at least 1.4 billion pairs of eyes on him in this world. And at that time, as the first to follow up on him, remembered..."

After saying that, Abby playfully shrugged: "Her articles will also be sought after by 1.4 billion pairs of eyes, provided that these are translated into Chinese." ”

As a sports media intern reporter, Abby is undoubtedly much better than his father in terms of topicality and news smell, and Jeff, who has got his daughter's physique, is even more convinced that he will use his lottery to bring Li Wu to Phoenix, as long as he plays at the level of normal rotation, the Chinese will be crazy about it, and their compatriots are very tolerant of the performance of the Chinese who play in the NBA.

Maybe Phoenix Ball City will be hot because of him! Those Phoenix executives are going to love me to death! Jeff even thought about a bright "money path" for Phoenix's future. So he said to his daughter, "Okay, Abby, I support your decision, but I want you to convince your boss to willingly keep you in New York." ”

"Don't worry, Dad, ESPN will soon buy the broadcast rights to other Columbia University games because of the 21st, which is the best persuasion for my boss. And these crazy Chinese kids. Abby replied with a smile.

After Li Wu went off the court, Coach Smith did not plan to send Maodore to the ground, but sent Jeff Cobe to make a cameo in the No. 2 position, and in his opinion, the boys in Pennsylvania had completely lost their fighting spirit.

In addition, Coach Smith also really understands Li Wu's strong projection ability, his pull-up jump shot with his long arms, and his quick running position is like a high-speed moving anti-aircraft gun car, now he has to think about how to get Li Wu into the starting lineup, if he and Maodore work at the same time, the defense of all teams in the Ivy League will be torn apart by his Lions in the first half of the twenty minutes.

At the end of the game, when the whistle blew and the Columbia Lions defeated the University of Pennsylvania 95-60, a group of foreigners in suits stared back and forth on two screens in an office building in New York City, an NBA team that had not moved the city since the original BAA league, one of which showed the game between the Columbia Lions and the Princeton Tigers broadcast by ESPN3.
