16. Attention

The Princeton Tigers never regained their lead after being overtaken. Li Wu used his defensive senses, off-ball running, and accurate shooting to improve the Columbia Lions' offensive and defensive ends, especially after Coach Mitch immediately abandoned the tactical adjustment after his strategy of defending Li Wu with this single defense failed.

Mitch directly replaced Wizz and Corey on the court, and cooperated with Barasseur and Cook to blow up with Columbia, but now there is more than one Li Wu on the court, and there is also a Maodore who averages more than 15 points per game.

Li Wu later made two more three-pointers and made a successful steal before being substituted, squeezing the Princeton Tigers' defense and offense to a mess, and finally, to the cheers of the crowd at Levine Stadium, the Colombian Lions won the game 72-64, with Maodore scoring a game-high 23 points, five assists and three rebounds, and Li Wu had 17 points, three steals and one assist, becoming the second-highest scorer.

Although Li Wu is not the highest scorer, and he still has 0 rebounds, for Chinese students on the sidelines, whether they understand the ball or not, they all feel that Li Wu has performed very well.

Those who do not understand the ball think that the Chinese can play in the NCAA arena and score 17 points, which is already a great achievement, and those who understand the ball have the same view as the coaching staff of Columbia University, without Li Wu's few steals, Princeton University would not be able to give up the offensive line on one side of the flank, without Li Wu's strong off-ball running and projection ability, Maodore would not have space to play his scoring and organizational skills, Li Wu's appearance, Let the Colombian Lions inject strong strength on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

After the game, Li Wu immediately returned the pair of Li Ning's pink shoes to the compatriot and thanked him, who waved his fist at Li Wu and shouted, "Dude! Fight well! Columbia hasn't been in the round of 64 in decades! I'm optimistic about you! ”

After that, ESPN's guest commentator Murphy walked over to Li Wu, the 211cm tall former NBA player shook Li Wu's hand with a smile and said, "If I were ESPN's rememberer, I would choose to interview you instead of Maodore, without you our Lions team is probably dangerous." ”

Li Wu shook his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Murphy, but I think Lowe played better than me." ”

Murphy smiled, "As an alumnus, I would like to give you a few pairs of shoes as an encouragement to you." You always remind me of another great Chinese player who was able to beat me up a lot. ”

Of course, Li Wu knew who he was talking about, and he also knew that Americans were often more generous and direct to those they admired, so he could only accept Murphy's kindness in a thank you.

After saying goodbye to Murphy, Li Wu walked towards the players' tunnel, and the defensive coach Adam followed, and said with a smile: "Li, well done!" I'm amazed by your off-ball runs! ”

After Li Wu thanked him, Adam continued: "But that steal on the field just now that was like a goalkeeper jumping sideways.... I hope it doesn't happen next time. ”

Adam refers to Li Wu's leap out of the short corner to steal the pass to Barasseur, in fact, that pass Li Wu thinks he can touch, but the speed of the ball after bouncing to the ground is a little faster than his own body, in the end it is indeed an uncertain steal.

"I know sir, if I fail that steal, not only will I lose my defensive position, but I will have a chance to get a three-point assist from Balasseur, and it will also affect the morale of the team, because it's frustrating to roll on the court and get nothing." Li Wu sincerely agreed.

Adam originally wanted to explain the risk of the steal to Li Wu from both the form of the court and morale, but he didn't expect Li Wu to say it himself, he patted Li Wu's shoulder with great appreciation and said with a smile: "Maodore was not as smart as you when he first entered the team. Come on, boy, don't give up your defensive position until your teammates don't lose their defensive positions or get blown up, basketball is a game of five people, he needs passion, but also trust. ”

Li Wu nodded seriously, Adam's words still touched him a lot, after all, when he was boxing in his previous life, he was alone in the ring, but he lacked experience in teamwork.

Coach Smith also quickened his pace to the two and said to Adam: "Starting tomorrow, I will have Derrick train Lee's dribbling and layup ability, Adam, I hope that in between these trainings, you can train Lee's joint defense and full-court pressing defense skills." ”

Adam patted Li Wu on the shoulder and followed Coach Smith to leave quickly, at this time, Maodore, who had been interviewed by ESPN, came over and smiled at Li Wu: "Well done!" This is the most comfortable I've had since I came to play at Columbia. I'm starting to believe that I can make it into March Madness with you. ”

Li Wu smiled and said, "I've always said that. ”

After Maodore said hello, the other members of the Colombian Lions team also came up to congratulate Li Wu, this game made Li Wu earn their respect, and on the other hand, on the other side of the ocean, Li Wu's name is also known to a large number of people, and these people began to look for NCAA live broadcast channels.

After Li Wu took a shower and changed his clothes in the locker room, he followed He Dabao, who was waiting for him outside the gymnasium, and He Dabao said excitedly as soon as he saw him: "Hey! I've decided to get a broker's license! Otherwise, I won't be able to help you receive advertisements in the future. ”

"Did someone ask you for an advertisement?" Li Wu asked strangely.

"Not now, but soon there will be. After you played the game just now, there was a guy who broadcast live on the domestic live broadcast platform, and the name of the room was 'Chinese students wreaking havoc on the NCAA', I will go to it, and the audience is actually 300,000. He Dabao said excitedly.

"The NCAA prohibits all private commercial activities of players!" Li Wu reminded He Dabao that he felt that it was not too late to wait until he entered the NBA to consider this.

"That's why I'm going to get a broker's license, that's what the NCAA official says, but you advertise abroad, such as our motherland, what is it forbidden? If it is banned, is it forbidden to ban all advertisements? It's all going to have to be studied! And I think your popularity is growing faster in China than here, and it's always right to get a broker license. He Dabao said with a smile.

"Whatever you want, but before you accept the advertisement, you have to use your fortune-telling skills to calculate whether the other party is compatible with us, whether there will be life worries or something." Li Wu is still haunted by his electrocution.
