Fast forward to 2009, and the NCAA regular season is halfway through.

USC continued their unbeaten run over the past 12 months, winning all 16 of their matches, and Wu won the Big Ten League's Player of the Month award again this month.

USC had 14 games in January and February, and although there was only one less game per month, the schedule was much easier.

The NCAA is not just basketball, it includes dozens of sports, but basketball, football, and baseball are the three most famous.

But no matter what the sport is, most of these athletes have poor academic performance, and it is often the better the athlete, the worse the academic performance!

DeMar DeRozan is a typical example, this second child was banned by the school for four games in January because of his grades, and if he still does not pass the results, he is likely to be punished with an additional ban.

In the next half month, the University of Southern California will face the embarrassment of the lack of the main No. 2 position, and the strength of the team will undoubtedly be affected.

In the three games in early January, USC won all three games very hard, and each game had to be played until the last minute before relying on Wu Huang's individual ability to pass the thrilling game.

After three months of competition + training, Wu Huang's ability to break through with the ball has improved significantly compared to the beginning of the school year, and he can now break through most opponents even if he does not rely on blocking and dismantling.

There is no shortage of point guards in the NBA now, but excellent point guards in the NCAA are beginning to become scarce, and the first-year star point guards in the Pacific Ten League this year seem to be only one Wu Huang. Isaiah Thomas was dismissed for his height, and Wu was named one of the top five positions in the nation by ESPN at the end of December, which of course refers to the NCAA league.

In January, DeRozan missed five games, and Wu Huang's scoring statistics in these five games immediately increased by five points, the number of assists decreased by two, and the shooting percentage also dropped by 5%.

This phenomenon shows that after USC lacks a second offensive point with the ball, the defender can increase the defensive strength against Wu Huang, and his efficiency naturally begins to decline.

But USC still didn't lose, and Wu Huang showed his key ball ability in the face of adversity.

In the first five games of January, Wu Huang averaged three points per game in the final minute of the game. In just 5 games, Wu Huang completed a lore and a quasi-lore, and the draft market continued to rise, and the teams that were in the NBA were sending scouts to follow and observe, especially those teams that lacked point guards.

With the undefeated record of the University of Southern California, Wu Huang's name appears more and more frequently in the media, and more and more media want to interview Wu Huang.

USC head coach Floyd said: "I don't know how to predict Hugo's prospects, he's been impeccable, I think he can be a scout, he can be a star, even if he is the top pick, he deserves it, but it depends on whether the teams with the top three draft picks need a point guard who can be the core of the decade." ”

So, which teams need point guards right now?

The Clippers, Thunder, Kings, Timberwolves and Warriors will obviously be the strongest contenders for the first five picks next year, and only the Knicks can compete with these five teams in the East, and among these six teams, the Clippers, Thunder, and Warriors already have core point guards, and only the Kings, Timberwolves and Knicks are likely to use their signings to choose a guard.

Which team does Wu Huang himself prefer?

This question is unknown to others, Wu Huang himself actually wants to stay in Los Angeles the most, but his favorite Lakers do not have a lottery pick, and the Clippers have no shortage of point guards, so he knows in his heart that if he participates in the draft in the summer, he will not stay in Los Angeles.

In January, USC ended up with a winning streak of seven games, and Wu Huang continued to be the Big 10 League Player of the Month award.

This month, Wu Huang played in seven games, averaging 34 minutes per game, contributing 30.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.5 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.6 turnovers, shooting 48.9% from the field, 38.8% from three-point range, and 85.5% from the free throw line.

If Wu Huang's data this month is compared with himself, although his average points per game are 5 points more, the shooting percentage and assists have decreased significantly, it is difficult to say whether he is performing better or worse?

But compared with other talents, Wu Huang's data in January can be called the best performance among all college players, and the data of 30+6+6 is rare in the history of NCAA, even if he is a data brush, he can brush such a data, and his ability will not be much worse.

Emperor Wu himself felt that it was unreal, every time he had that kind of strange dream, his strength would be qualitatively improved, and his performance would also take a leap.

The NCAA difficulty is already a bit low for him. In the entire Pacific League, only when facing a few strong teams such as Arizona and UCLA, Wu Huang felt a little challenged. The other teams don't have a core of talent and don't pose a threat against USC.

As the 08-09 season entered February, Wu Huang and his USC were still invincible, and USC's crazy performance began to attract the attention of fans across the country.

Everyone wants to see if USC will win the championship with a winning record?

On Feb. 20, USC faced their biggest challenge of ending the regular season with a win, as local rivals UCLA sniped USC on the road. In the end, through the hard-fought double overtime, the University of Southern California relied on Wu Huang's key three points to win the second derby with difficulty, and double-killed the city's sworn rival UCLA University.

After the game, Wu Huang finally began to accept an exclusive interview with the media, and the next day he told an exclusive interview with the editor-in-chief of the domestic "Basketball Pioneer" newspaper about his experience before becoming famous.

"It wasn't until I entered high school that I started playing basketball. I still remember when I first started, I was discriminated against a lot because of the color of my skin, and I was often ridiculed. What impressed me the most was that I was always reminded that this was not a volleyball game before the game, and some people told me to play 'table tennis', and some people even shouted at me from the stands, 'Go back to China'. ”

Su Qun is very interested in his experience of racial discrimination, and this sensitive topic is the most attractive to fans and even non-fans.

Wu Huang did not resist discussing these issues, saying: "The United States has a variety of problems, and as a country of immigrants with a global racial integration, there are hostilities, discrimination, conflicts, and estrangements among social groups and classes, which are far greater than in other countries. But the United States is also a country where heroes are judged by success or failure, and as long as you prove that you are a hero, people will put aside their prejudices and see your success as their own success, as a reproduction of the 'American dream'. ”

"If yellow skin wants to be recognized in white and black, it has to be very good, better than everyone else. And I did, so you can see, I'm their hero now. When Wu Huang was interviewed, he did not deliberately use Chinese to answer, his Chinese is not very good, so he only occasionally brings two sentences in one sentence.

This is a bit like the fake foreign devils in China, when they speak, they have to carry a few words of English, as if how fashionable this is, maybe this can show that their personality is more noble.

Mr. Su finally asked, "On behalf of the Chinese fans, I would like to ask you one last question. If the Chinese national team summons you in the future, will you choose to naturalize China? ”

Wu Huang had long known that sooner or later a Chinese reporter would ask him this question, his expression suddenly became solemn, his tone seemed to have changed a little, and he said seriously: "I have missed it once, if the Chinese team needs me, I will be duty-bound." ”

Teacher Su couldn't believe that he would hear such an answer, he thought that Emperor Wu would play Tai Chi with him, or give an ambiguous answer, but he just didn't expect that he would reply so directly?

So he didn't pay attention to it, there were many things wrong with Emperor Wu's words.

Wu Huang regretted it as soon as he finished answering, and he knew that such an answer would definitely cause extreme dissatisfaction among American fans.

"It seems to have lost control just now, how can this question be answered like this? This will do me more harm than good! ”

Su Qun smiled, seeing this young man with a very immature face, he knew that this little guy had lost his words just now.

"That sentence...... Well...... I mean...... Can you polish it a little bit when you log out? "Emperor Wu knows that this matter can be big or small, if it is used by others, and the media will follow the trend and hype it up, it will have a very big impact on him.

"Rest assured, witnessing the defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team in Sydney and Busan, and then looking at the struggle in Beijing this year, all conscientious media people will not embarrass their compatriots." The editor-in-chief's words made Emperor Wu feel at ease, and he couldn't just open his mouth like this in the future.

After being interviewed by ESPN, the Los Angeles Times, and the Basketball Herald, Wu Huang met with Brand Moretz, who had made a special trip from New York, who was already preparing to set up an agent company, because Wu Huang had promised him that after March Madness, he would officially sign an agent contract and participate in the July draft.

Brand Moretz has been working for more than a year, and this time he plans to put his future on this neighbor and friend, and if Wu Huang can become famous, his career will be successful. In addition, Brand Moretz is also willing to help Wu Huang succeed in his heart, not only the relationship between his agent and employer, but at least in his heart, there is some ulterior purpose.
