25. Immeasurable
Maodore is right, Li Wu is indeed very eager for the NBA, but what he longs for is not the NBA, and there is a considerable pick, he doesn't know much about the NBA, but he still knows some basic things, the higher the pick in the NBA draft, the bigger the contract the team will give, and the higher the salary. And the higher the rank, the more advertising endorsement fees.
Playing is all about making money.
So even though he struggles with dribbling now, he still wants to improve his dribbling skills, after all, he was a star in boxing in his last life, and he doesn't want his achievements to change in basketball.
Even make hope better.
No 3-and-D player can become a star in the NBA, at most it is an important piece of the puzzle for a championship or dynasty.
So all day long, Li Wu has been competing with basketball, but no matter how hard he tries, the speed of dribbling has never kept up with his pace, which makes him feel like a balance impaired person with uncoordinated upper and lower limbs.
Ever since he was practicing martial arts, he had never felt this frustration.
Abby silently filmed on the side, didn't say anything, but sighed that the other players went to interview some of Li Wu's teammates during the break, for the daughter of the Phoenix Suns head coach, the famous goddess in the NBA, the Lions players are naturally happy to accept Abby's interview, Abby's question is actually very simple, that is, let them talk about their views on Li Wu.
Team leader Maodore said: "Lee is a very good pitcher and very pressing on the defensive end, especially on the wing and on the perimeter, and his interception ability can often make those who are good at breaking scare into the cracks. To be honest, I think his addition will get us to the March Madness tournament. ”
His younger brother Luke said: "There's no doubt that Lee's projection and defensive ability have helped the team a lot, but well... Miss Hornacek, as you can see, he looks very jerky with dribbles and layups, and he still needs a lot of training, in fact, I can still tell you a secret, he has a very strong power, he has a bench press of 220 kilograms, but he can't play with his back to his back, so it's a real shame. ”
Abby shook her head in her heart when she heard this, this tall white forward is not very high in EQ, it is very irrational to expose the hole cards of teammates in this way, if he is not Li Wu's tracking reporter, but an ordinary basketball reporter, as long as one night, Li Wu's weaknesses will be exposed in front of all NCAA teams, and then targeted defense, which is fatal to the team.
Especially the bench press of 220 kg and will not beat the back of this thing, Luke is completely unnecessary to say. God knows what this big guy is for? Didn't he know that the Columbia University Lions didn't seem to be in March Madness for 50 years?
Abby continued to interview the rest of the team with an unbelievable heart, and the rest of the Lions team was much friendlier to Li Wu, especially backup point guard Kyle.
"Lee? Oh! My goddess, I have to tell you that your choice is extremely wise, you only know how terrible he is when you play against him, you are still immersed in the pleasure of the layup when he copies the ball, but in fact, your ball has been thrown over the half court, and his teammates are already performing expressive dunks! ”
"Is that the one who performed the showmanship sexually assaulted? Kyle? Abby asked with a smile.
"Of course! Of course it's me, in fact, as long as he's around, I can get a lot of fast break opportunities because his interception is absolutely top-notch! Just like Chris Paul. Kyle said excitedly.
The day ended with Abby's interview and Li Wu's fight with the ball, and the head assistant coach Derek Phelps did not forget to comfort Li Wu as he left the court: "Young man, improving your skills is not a matter of a day or two, you still have a lot of time. ”
Li Wu doesn't think much that there is not much time left for him, and if he doesn't develop new skills, his projection and defensive ability alone may not help the Lions go far in 'March Madness', and the reason why March Madness is crazy is because of the single-elimination system after entering the tournament of the round of 64.
In other words, success or failure depends on one game, unlike the NBA, which has a best-of-7 chance. Therefore, if Li Wu is targeted by some powerful teams, as long as he does not play well in one game, the Colombian Lions will be eliminated, in his opinion, except for Maodore, the Lions really have no characters who can do it.
From now until the final four, it is less than two months, and it is not like Derek said "you still have a lot of time".
Li Wu left the arena with Abby, and according to the custom, Abby would do some routine interviews with Li Wu, but when Abby started to ask questions, he didn't take out the miniature camera and voice recorder, but said while walking: "Lee, your dribbling foundation seems to be very weak. ”
The two walked on campus like this, like an ordinary couple, Hornacek in flat shoes did not look much shorter than Li Wu, which made many students pay attention to Li Wuxing, some of them knew the new players of this basketball team, some did not, but they were all envious of Li Wu having such a hot body around him.
"yes, actually, I haven't played basketball in a long time, and the last time I remember touching the ball was when I was in high school." Li Wu replied truthfully.
"Oh, yes, then your projection is very well maintained. In fact, I've watched your game against Pennsylvania, and your physical coordination is actually pretty good, and I think the dissonance between your dribbling speed and your speed is no longer physical, it's mental. Abby said.
"Oh? How so? Li Wu was anxious to improve his technique, and when he heard Abby's words, he immediately became interested.
"I was on the varsity volleyball team in high school, but when I was a kid, because of my father, I touched basketball the most." Abby smiled and continued, "When I first came to the volleyball team, I struggled because my basketball mind was always affecting my volleyball mindset, and I was always out of shape when I was smashing, because I would unconsciously remember how I dribbled. ”
"You're exactly what I'm having." Li Wuyi clapped his palms and said.
"Oh? Have you played any other sports before? Abby took out her voice recorder at this time, she knows the essence of the interview, and is good at finding some different interview entry points, which will make readers and viewers have a sense of curiosity.
"Yes, I think my martial arts can be much better than my basketball. Luke also told you just now, my bench press strength is 220kg, in fact, a year ago, I was just a 175cm tall Chinese nerd with weak strength. But after practicing martial arts for a year, my body and coordination have improved, and even my shooting technique is actually a kind of hidden weapon projection technique in martial arts. Li Wu said truthfully.
This time it was Abby's turn to be messy, she held her voice recorder hard so as not to get rid of it because she was emotional, and looked at Li Wu with wide blue eyes: "Li, are you sure you're not kidding?" Are you playing basketball with martial arts? Your three-point shooting ability is in the projection.... Hidden weapons? ”
This is beyond Abby's understanding of basketball who grew up in a basketball family, and if what Li Wu said is true, then the value of her interview will be immeasurable.
But the smart Abby soon realized that Li Wu was not joking, because when he was interviewing Luke, the area they were in was so far away from Li Wu that there was more than half a court, and there were many players in the middle of the ball and chatting, the environment was extremely noisy, and Luke lowered his voice in order to avoid letting Li Wu hear it when he spoke, but....
"Lee.... You actually heard what Luke said during the interview? Abby looked at Li Wu in shock.
"Well, it's an ability in martial arts about the ear, and that distance and noisiness are almost my limit, but I still hear it. We Chinese call this ability 'listening to the wind and discerning position'. The last four words of Li Wu were spoken in Chinese.
