9. Come on
Princeton is just a 50-minute drive from the greater New York City area, and the two schools are almost next to each other. There are 43 Nobel laureates who have worked and studied at the school, a number that is not even half that of Columbia.
However, to the pride of Princetonians, Princeton University has produced 2 U.S. presidents, 12 U.S. Supreme Court justices and many U.S. Congressmen, and has made far-reaching contributions to American politics. That's why Princeton alumni never consider their alma mater to be a head shorter than Columbia, both academically and athletically.
Princeton University won two of its first three games in the Ivy League, against Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania, and lost to Harvard. Like Columbia, they are hungry to win the games ahead, and their coach, Mitch Henderson, feels this year is the closest Princeton has come to March madness, as their team has two sophomores who are growing extremely quickly.
They are Spencer-Witz and Steven Cook. Spencer averaged only 8.7 points per game last season, but this season he can score about 12 points, and Steven is even more surprising, from less than 5 points per game last year to more than 11 points this year.
As long as that German national team defender is strangled, the Colombian Lions will become the Colombian Silly Cats, which is what Coach Mitch said to his Princeton players.
At this time, the 2,500-seat Levine Stadium was already full of people, one-third of whom were yellow-skinned and black-haired Asians, all of whom sat together, including beautiful girls with LV, GUCCI, CHANEL brands, and heavy makeup, and an Asian man sitting next to them.
"They are all Chinese, I took Chinese classes and can understand some of what they say." A white college student sitting in the audience said to his companion, "It's strange that the stadium seems to have become a library today. ”
A black friend in a tracksuit next to him told him: "My friend Kyle told me that our team has a Chinese, a sophomore, from the history department. Kyle is also on the Lions this year, and his information must be accurate, and those viewers have validated his claims. ”
"Oh! God, Chinese? Not Chinese yet? That was the first time in history! The white student shouted, then asked, "Who was replaced?" ”
"Listen to Kyle, it's Noha Springwater."
"It was him! That guy barely played in four years, and after four years of free tuition, he went to prepare his resume! What position did this Chinese play? Is it the location of YAO? We are weak on the inside! ”
"No, Kyle said, he's playing back because the coach doesn't allow him to give away tactics, that's all he says."
"Oh Mai Ka! It's the defender again! The white students were apparently die-hard fans and immediately clutched their heads in pain when they heard the defenders.
Unlike the audience, Brent Barry, the commentator sitting in the ESPN commentary seat next to the technical desk, had already seen Columbia's registration list, and as a commentator for a rookie pecking live game, he couldn't be much interested, in his eyes, the little ones in the Ivy League were better suited to study than to play basketball, and in his memory, since the day he was born, none of the players in the Ivy League seemed to be higher than him, and the achievements were not as high as him.
Brent Barry was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 15th pick in 1995 and won the 1996 Slam Dunk Contest, won two championship rings with the Spurs, and was the only white man in history to jump off the free throw line for a dunk.
Seeing the registration list of Columbia University and the Chinese occupying thirty percent of the seats, Barry, who was lacking in interest, thought of a funny joke, so he smiled and said to today's special guest commentator Troy Murphy next to him: "Troy, I think you have been at Columbia University for so long, I'm afraid you haven't seen so many Chinese at one time, right?" ”
"No, you're wrong, Brent, I'm a good student with a GPA of 3.8, and I often see Chinese students studying all night in the library." Murphy replied with a smile.
Compared with his predecessor Brent, Troy Murphy's career does not have so many honors, he was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 14th pick in 2001, and in the next 12 seasons he moved to multiple teams, and maintained a double-double for several seasons, is a space big man who can grab rebounds and shoot, although it seems that his achievements are not as high as Barry, but when it comes to average data per game, Murphy is Barry's best.
Murphy retired after earning a total salary of $6,600 in the league and then came to Columbia University to pursue a bachelor's degree in sociology, and during his time at Columbia, he was bound to be a guest commentator whenever there was a basketball game broadcast at the Wayne Stadium, but for the first time in years, he was asked about the Chinese on the court, and in his memory, basketball and the Chinese were associated with the era when he was not retired from the game with YAO.
IT'S JUST THAT MURPHY AT THAT TIME WAS OFTEN BEATEN BY YAO, AND HE CLEARLY REMEMBERED THAT THE TALL AND INTELLIGENT CHINESE CENTER HAD PLAYED AGAINST HIM IN 18 GAMES, AND HE ONLY WON 6 GAMES. When he played, he hated the Chinese so much, but now, he thinks that the Chinese are very smart, and he especially admires the Chinese children who have nothing to do throughout the semester, only to study in the library for the last three weeks of the final semester, but always get an A in the final exam, and he also understands why YAO is always full of wisdom when he plays.
"Chinese are very smart, you can see a lot of Chinese at Columbia University with master's and doctoral scholarships, and as for those founders who scored 30 points in the midterm exam and 90 points at the end of the semester, at least 90% are Chinese. Perhaps the newly selected Li will give some unexpected surprises to these Chinese students in the Wayne Ball Stadium! I don't think Coach Smith will make any changes to the roster. Murphy complimented the Chinese fiercely along with Barry's joke.
At this time, the players on both sides began to enter the field to warm up, and Li Wu was naturally one of them, so that the audience and the commentary and the unexpected things of the players on both sides happened at the moment when Li Wu entered.
When he walked into the stadium, almost half of the more than 800 Chinese in the stadium stood up and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Li Wu, some people were taking pictures, some people were shooting videos, apparently they all planned to post a wave of social media friends.
"Come on! Li Wu! He Dabao's abrupt voice sounded.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Then there was a large number of Chinese cheers, and many boys clapped their hands at Li Wu, and Murphy said to Barry beside him: "These students cheer for this Li again." ”
"It seems that there are not many German students at Columbia University, and a German national team player gets no cheers as a Chinese player who has just joined the team," Barry, the former slam dunk king, knows how to explain and creates a topic at the beginning.
Maybe it's more than just a rookie peck! Barry felt intrigued.
