Li Wu never thought that his first pot of gold after being reborn was actually earned in this way. He thought that he would get the first pot of gold in his life after entering the NBA and getting a contract, although a 60,000 is indeed very little compared to his previous life, but for now, it can solve a lot of problems.

For example, the problem of the house. When he returned to his rental house and slept for a while, this month's "salary" had already arrived, and Li Wu immediately called He Dabao and asked him to help him find a big house or warehouse near Manhattan. It's big enough to draw half an area of a basketball court.

Li Wu hopes that he can continue to practice when he leaves the training hall. In addition, Li Wu bought himself a second-hand Cadillac SRX off-road vehicle as his means of transportation, and the car has run 150,000 kilometers, so Li Wu bought it for 20,000 US dollars.

The day before Li Wu went with the team to challenge Brown University in Rhode Island, He Dabao found a large warehouse on the edge of Manhattan, which was rented on a weekly basis, and Li Wu planned to rent it for three months, after all, he didn't know where he would be after three months.

After signing the contract quickly, Li Wu said to He Dabao: "Brother, I want a basketball hoop, and then sort out a basketball court, the cheapest materials can be used, and then, you have to help me go to Chinatown to buy a water tank." ”

"Water tank? Big brother, although it is a warehouse, it is still connected to water and electricity, and there are toilets and kitchens. He Dabao reminded Li Wu.

"Well, I know, but I still need a water tank, the bigger the opening, the better, but the width of the edge should not exceed five centimeters." Li Wu said.

"Uh.... Well, I'll get it done. He Dabao said.

After explaining what happened, Li Wu packed his bags, came to the school the next day to gather with the team, and took a bus to Rhode Island together.

Brown University, the seventh-oldest university in the United States, is located in Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, and in addition to Kennedy's son Kennedy Jr. and the second-generation head of the Rockefeller Group, there was also a president of a famous Chinese university, who is still active in the academic world.

Because of this principal, many Chinese students will choose to study here, so Li Wu's arrival also attracted a lot of Chinese audiences, and this event was also broadcast by the American sports network ASN.

ASN's commentators immediately greeted the Chinese audience on the Internet, because their company executives had long known that ESPN had been prepared for the news that ESPN had bought all the rights to broadcast all basketball games at Columbia University and that CBSSN had broadcast the game against Harvard University when the Internet ratings were booming.

Because this game was not favored, even the advertisements were not sold out, but this situation completely changed because of Li Wu, and it was only a matter of a few days for the advertisements broadcast of this game to triple in price from no one cared.

Li Wu didn't expect his arrival to bring these benefits to ASN, but he rewarded the Chinese audience watching the game in person and online with a perfect game, he started at the same time as Maodore, and used his pull-up jump shot and running position to shoot through the Brown University defense in the opening ten minutes, and finally he played 28 minutes, scoring 24 points on eight out of ten shots, three steals, three assists and one block.

This is also the result of his deliberate practice of dribbling and trying to break through many times, and if he lets go of his hand shot, he is confident that he can score 40 points under the weak defense of Brown University.

In the cheers of the audience, Li Wu was interviewed by an ASN reporter, who asked the question that everyone was looking forward to: "Lee, tonight's performance won the best of the game again, will you choose to participate in the NBA draft this year?" ”

Faced with this question, except for those who enter college as a gifted high school student, no NCAA player will choose to answer this question head-on, because as long as you say not to participate, the scout's attention to you will undoubtedly decrease, and if you say to participate, he will become a competitor to many people, and they will take care of you on the court, so as to help you go as far back as possible in the draft, and at the same time prove your strength.

As for those talented high school students, they are no longer on the list, such as Downs and Okafor this year, who are clearly going to participate in the draft, and they do have the strength and confidence to do so.

For Li Wu, who plays in the Ivy League, he does not have such confidence, firstly, he is not a genius high school student, and secondly, the level of the Ivy League is low.

But when faced with this question, Li Wu's answer shocked everyone: "I think my compatriots can't wait for me to appear in the NBA!" So the answer to your question is clear, yes, I'm going to be in the NBA draft. ”

This answer not only surprised the reporter, but also the coach of the Lions, Smith, when they drove to another away game in Connecticut to challenge Yale University, Coach Smith deliberately called Li Wu next to his seat: "You shouldn't be so high-profile, Lee, so that all college students who want to enter the NBA will study your video and step on your position." Now you're in the Ivy League, but when you enter a tournament, you're going to be sniped at by a whole bunch of crazy guys. ”

"Coach, rest assured, I was ready when I chose to answer this question head-on, I knew I had a lot of shortcomings that would allow me to defend with a target, but these pressures are also what motivate me to move forward, and I hope that these pressures can be the motivation for me to improve in a short period of time, so that I can get a historic result for the Lions with you and Maodore and others." Li Wu said calmly to Coach Smith.

The next day, after a night's rest in New Haven, Connecticut, Li Wu met Abby, who had come to meet him, and when he saw him, Abby handed him his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lee, you are on the front page of the sports section of the New York Times." ”

"Oh? Why? Li Wu was puzzled, knowing that the influence of the New York Times in the United States can be described as huge and far-reaching, and it is an indispensable part of American life. Buying a copy of The New York Times from the subway station for $2 every morning before going to work has become a part of many Americans' lives. Li Wu didn't think he had so much influence.
