42. Who can prevent him?
Li Wu's answer made headlines again, because he was the first player to make social media so ceremonial. And the special thing about Li Wu is that he doesn't have social media in either China or the United States, which is a very unbelievable thing, after all, this kind of thing has been popular for several years.
In fact, Li Wu was originally a restrained and hard-working and rustic person, if he hadn't met the old man in the Chinese restaurant, he would have spent his life looking for a job in the United States or China after getting a diploma from Columbia University.
In his previous life, he also opened social media after he became famous.
The New York Times seemed to be bullish on Li Wu, and the first to put Li Wu in the headlines was the sports section of the New York Times, with the title: "Lee: A social platform will be launched at the time of the draft." The content intercepted the words of many people on the Internet calling Li Wu to open social media, and then concluded at the end of the article that although Li Wu is not in the lottery show now, he is definitely more popular than all the rookies, after all, he has successfully aroused the interest of Chinese fans.
You must know that when Chinese players are leaving the NBA, a Chinese player playing a good-looking game at the airport has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, not to mention that Li Wu is now a Chinese close to a lottery show.
Of course, there are good voices and bad voices, and many players who are evaluated after Li Wu did not hesitate to bombard Li Wu on their social media, saying that as long as they see Li Wu in March, they will definitely blow him up and let him fall out of the second round from the 15th to 18th pick.
However, the rookies in front of Li Wu did not react too much to the heat caused by Li Wu, in their opinion, Li Wu's heat had no effect on them, and they also thought that Li Wu would be beaten by other rookies in March, after all, the Ivy League was too weak.
The clamor of other rookies has made Li Wu's fame even higher, after all, those first-round and second-round shows are almost all leading stars and celebrities in their own schools, and when they mention that they want to beat Li Wu on social media, their fans will also pay attention to who Li Wu is, why do the stars of their own school specifically mention him? This has led to Li Wu's popularity remaining high, and the ratings of the Colombian Lions' games have also been climbing.
Li Wu did not disappoint these new spectators, and the night after the win over Dartmouth, the Colombian Lions once again faced the Harvard Crimson at their home stadium at the Wayne Coliseum.
The coach of the Crimson team, Amak, sacrificed the tactics of wrapping Li Wu at the beginning, but Li Wu is now a defender who can attack with the ball, and when he encountered the bag, he quickly distributed the ball to Maodore, allowing Maodore to break through or divide the ball, and in cooperation with the Lions' assist Wang Cohen responded on the flank, the Lions' attack played well.
Although Li Wu was limited to score to the maximum, the Harvard Crimson team would let the Lions form a 4-3 numerical advantage when they surrounded Li Wu, so the scoring efficiency was still very high. However, Harvard's entry into the palace was constantly frustrated under Li Wu's high-intensity defense, and the number one star Wesley was taken away by Li Wu in the first half with two goals, forming a fast attack.
In the last five minutes of the first half, Wesley, Siani, and Steve, the three main defenders of Li Wu's physical strength began to decline, allowing Li Wu to score 4 three-pointers in a row, and the score was pulled away.
Coach Amak also noticed that Li Wu's shot was faster and more accurate than in the previous game, which made him even more frustrated, and simply gave up on adjusting the lineup, and the Lions led by 10 points at 60-50 at the end of the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, the bench lineups of the two teams came on the court, playing very closely, the main scorer of the Lions is the substitute point guard Kyle, since Li Wuti started, Kyle rarely got the opportunity to break fast, fortunately, his dribbling level and ability to attack with the ball are not weak, the substitute of the Crimson team is not false at all, under the blocking and removal of center Voss, Kyle got 6 points and two assists in eight minutes on the court, keeping the Lions' lead at 8 points.
With twelve minutes left in the game, the two sides lined up as the main players, and Coach Amak immediately began to wrap Li Wu's tactics again, which continued until the end of the game, so Li Wu only got 15 points, 4 steals and 4 assists in this game, but Maodore got 21 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, and even power forward Luke cut down 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.
In this way, Li Wu's stats are not so conspicuous, and the MVP of this game has also become Maodore, although this is based on the fact that Li Wu attracted two defensive giants against Aang.
After the game, Maodore was interviewed by reporters, and Li Wu returned to the locker room on his own, in his opinion, it doesn't matter if he can be interviewed or not, his value on the court will be understood by anyone who understands the ball, but the MVP is just favoring the data.
After interviewing Maodore, the ESPN reporter went on to interview the coach of the Harvard University Crimson, Amak, who undoubtedly understands the ball, so he bluntly pointed out the role of Li Wu: "If it weren't for Lee's shooting ability outside the three-point line, which led me to use a two-man wrap strategy, Maodore would not have scored so many points, he is a guard who is good at handling the ball, but only if there is no high-intensity defense!" Within 5 seconds of Li Wu's ball, the Lions were 4 to 3. ”
After pointing out the role of Li Wu, Coach Amak began to feel sorry for himself: "There is no doubt that my players do not have the defensive ability to block Lee's attack alone, if I have a player with similar mobility to Li to endlessly defend him, so that he is not so easy to attack with the ball, the result of this game will not be so suspenseless!" In fact, you should see that Lee's fastest ball is his first step, and then he slows down like a car with insufficient horsepower, so as long as there is a player who can keep up with his first step, you can prevent him! ”
Coach Amak's words were presented to all NCAA team coaches through ESPN's live broadcast, and when Coach Smith saw Amak say these words, he immediately poured the black tea in his hand on the TV and scolded: "You can't afford to lose!" ”
Obviously, Coach Amak is giving all the NCAA coaches a wake-up call that will make it difficult for the Lions in March Madness.
