Seventy-one, suddenly it became popular
"51 points! Lee scored 51 points! Of the 77 points the Lions scored on the team, he alone scored 51 points, and he also delivered 6 assists, 2 blocks and 5 steals! I have to say, tonight he dominated the game! Kenny Smith excitedly praised Li Wu, completely unaware that the game was not over yet.
Not only him, but even Barkley turned on the praise mode: "I have to say that against a strong team with two prediction lotto shows, winning the game with teammates from the Ivy League is indeed commendable!" I think after this game, Lee will definitely be able to accompany him to enter the Little Green House! In contrast, I think Decker's ranking may drop, and his ability to help defend and read on the court and stand up in the face of adversity is relatively lacking, and I am afraid that he is no longer worthy of a lottery show. ”
The big-mouthed Buckley is a person who dares to question even the champion, and once he is sure of his thoughts, he will say it without scruples, and he is not afraid of offending anyone at all.
The score was still scorching, but the suspense of the subsequent game was lost, as Jassel's pass to Kaminski was cut off again by Li Wu, and then gave a fast break to Maodore, the Lions had a three-point lead, and then Li Wu also delivered three assists in less than three minutes, helping Cohen and Maodore and Luke to get a three-pointer and two two-pointers, stretching the score to 10.
Coach Lane had no choice but to give up the game, and in the end, the Lions won the game 87-77. Li Wu deservedly won the MVP of the game with 51 points, 2 blocks, 6 steals and 9 assists.
Kaminski and Decker both stepped forward to congratulate Lee, who had clearly earned their respect for his performance, and the key figures involved in the bout were interviewed afterwards.
First of all, Li Wu, who gave the credit for the victory to his teammates and coaching staff, and said that he just did the right thing at the right time, and although his stats were good, it was still a team victory.
The most striking question came from a reporter from Fox Sports, Abby's colleague: "The Lions have reached the quarterfinals tonight, how far do you think the Lions can go?" ”
"I want to make it to the Final Four!" Li Wu replied calmly.
Decker and Kaminsky announced in interviews that they would be participating in this year's draft, with Kaminski's draft prediction between 8 and 12, which is a relatively stable lottery pick, while Decker's pick is between 14 and 17, which is on the fringes of the lotto.
In today's game, Kaminski's performance was still remarkable, at least he showed his lethality on the outside and dominance on the inside, so his position will not be reduced much, but Decker's performance today is not good, most of the time he watched Kaminsky single-handedly charge, did not provide help as the second scoring point, and most of the time standing in the short corner and on the flank, he is not very good at Li Wu's help defense, so his order will drop.
Dirk's pick-up prediction was more affected than Kaminski's, but he praised Li Wu unreservedly, like Kaminski, in an interview: "I don't have much to say about Lee, in fact, we can't stop him, his three-point shot is really amazing, and her pull-up jump shot is very stable, plus his running ability and defensive ability, completely limit our offensive and defensive system, so I think he is an excellent player." ”
Decker was very calm when asked about how his draft pick would affect this game and what Barkley said about himself: "Of course I know I have shortcomings, but I'm still young and I have a lot of time to practice and improve. ”
Kaminski's praise for Li Wu was more direct: "I think he is fully capable of entering an NBA team to become a team building core, although his ability to accelerate with the ball does not match his speed, although he doesn't like to grab rebounds very much, but his basketball IQ is the highest I've seen any player in my four years in the NCAA, I don't think such a guy will let his shortcomings last long, maybe it only takes one summer, and he will wreak havoc in the restricted area." ”
As for Kenig, who had been spewing trash talk before the game, he did not give an interview and went straight back to the locker room, he was a loser tonight because Li Wu scored 51 points, and he was hit twice by the ball.
Coach Ryan's evaluation of Li Wu is also very clear: "Young people in the NCAA are almost powerless for Lee's starting speed and running ability, I don't know if anyone in Arizona, Duke, or Kentucky can limit this young man by himself, but I have to give him a piece of advice: make your ability to accelerate with the ball as good as your starting speed as soon as possible, otherwise you will find that even a slow-moving No. 3 can easily prevent you after entering the NBA." The young people in the NCAA don't think of me as well as the guys in the league in terms of position and pace. ”
"51 points! Yes, that's right, it was Lee who won this game with us, there is no doubt about it, of course, I set up some tactics, but these tactics can't be implemented without Lee! How far can I go in March Madness, you ask? Come on, man, if Lee plays like this every day, I think I'm going to take the Lions that championship. Coach Smith swelled a little after the victory over the strong opponent, and said a wild word with a smile.
The night was destined to cause an uproar in the basketball world, so much so that the heat of Arizona vs. Xavier, another sweet round of 16 match later on the same court, was reduced considerably.
The high praise of the two prediction lottery show players and Coach Ryan's evaluation that no one in the NCAA can defend Li Wu alone, and Coach Smith's bold words that he wants to win the NCAA championship have made Li Wu the headlines of major sports pages, not to mention the violent dunk from the free throw line at the last moment.
Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, ESPN, TNT, and CBS all quoted these news materials to portray Li Wu as a superstar competing for the championship with a fish belly team, and these articles were immediately translated and reprinted by some basketball enthusiasts in China to Chinese forums, and for a while, Li Wu directly occupied the sports headlines of the two countries.
Early the next morning, Li Wu received a call from across the ocean, which was from his father Lao Li, and his father's first words were: "Son, why are you suddenly popular?" ”
