Two days later, the time came to November 11th, and Wu Huang's birthday really arrived this time, but he didn't have a birthday party, in case Christine and Taylor Swift were there, the party would go in an uncontrollable direction, so to hell with it.

Besides, tonight's game is very important, which just gives Wu Huang an excuse not to hold a party, and by the way, he can also have a good reputation for dedication, which is really TM lucky!

"Little fat man, I decided to celebrate my birthday with you today!" Wu Huang has met Harden several times, this bastard can't deal with him, he was a year older than him in high school, and he suffered a lot by using his physical advantage. Before the expedition, Emperor Wu secretly decided in his heart that he must win a victory in Arizona today as a birthday gift for himself.

After the first three games, Wu Huang averaged 24 points, 6 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3 turnovers per game, shooting 50% from the field, 44.4% from three-point range, and 84.2% from the free throw line. That statistic earned him the first Pacific 10 Player of the Week award at No. 9 and led the scoring and assists charts.

At the same time, Wu Huang rose to 12th place in ESPN's NCAATOP100 rankings. Yahoo NCAATOP150 moved up to 17th place. After DraftExpress updated its 2009 NBA mock draft picks, Wu Huang rose from No. 25 to No. 19, and this time predicted that he would be drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round.

After winning his first Pacific Conference Weekly Awards, ESPN also gave him a brief introduction to the rookie section of the website:

"The Chinese-American point guard from USC is a very top shooter and has a very high basketball IQ and movement speed, and his long reach and defensive awareness allow him to misposition the defensive No. 2 player, which makes him a very solid NBA player. The downside is that he's a little weaker and has a slightly softer style of play, so his draft template is Steve Nash, who has more defensive potential and a team that desperately needs a point guard might pick him off in the lottery. ”

Wu Huang naturally saw ESPN's evaluation of himself, he was not complacent because of this, the regular season has just begun, and it is not yet time to his tail, and there is still a long way to go.

USC came to Phoenix on the afternoon of the 11th, and the game was scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The game was played early, but the team had to spend the night in a local hotel after the game before returning to Los Angeles the next day.

The University of Southern California is going to hold a birthday party for Wu Huang after the competition, but unfortunately there is no female companion to attend this time, Wu Huang has no interest in a group of black muscle men, and would rather chat with the girls in the room.

It is said that Wu Huang's hand speed is now enough to chat with four girls at the same time, and he finds that this can also exercise his fingers and help improve his ball control skills.

"Bart, do you have a piano at home?" Wu Huang looked at his slender fingers and felt that he should have the talent to become a pianist.

"Why do you ask this, you can also play the piano?" Bart Bligh carefully wipes down his sneakers in the locker room, a pair of limited-edition sneakers from the ZOOMKOBE1 generation with Kobe's signature.

This pair of sneakers has a lot of origins, this is the $81 price, and there are only 81 pairs of "81 points limited edition ZOOMKOBE1" in the world, it is the best collection of Kobe Bryant fans have to mention, Bart's home has hundreds of precious sneakers, but also this pair of sneakers as a treasure, only brought out during major games.

"I want to learn to play the piano, but I don't want to go outside." Wu Huang muttered softly, he wanted Taylor Swift to teach him to play the piano, of course, this is the drunkard's intention not to drink, Wu Huang was proud of his excuse in his heart.

"This is the only commemorative edition of 81 pairs in the world!" After Wu Huang put on his sneakers, he looked at the sneakers in Bart's hand again, and his eyes were very red.

There are only 81 pairs of Bart's sneakers in the world, and money can't buy them, and if anyone comes up with a pair for auction, Wu Huang is willing to take out all his savings to compete, even if he uses $10,000 to buy these sneakers.

USC's sneaker sponsor is Nike, and players can get sponsored Nike sneakers for free, and if they want to wear the star version of the sneakers, as long as it is a Nike brand, no problem. But if you don't wear a pair of Maddie or Duncan's Adidas sneakers, Nike can sue USC for breach of contract.

Wu Huang participated in the "Nike Pinnacle Tournament", he and all the participating geniuses signed a contract with Nike that is not a commercial contract, this contract is that Nike has the right to sign a sneaker contract with them in the future, and before that, Wu Huang in the NCAA for every regular season game in Nike shoes, he can get a $200 subsidy, if he plays in the national championship, this subsidy will be increased tenfold.

"$200 is too little, Harden is $500 per game, I'll show Nike today, it's definitely a big mistake to give only $200 in subsidies!" Wu Huang has always been dissatisfied with the amount of his subsidy, even DeRozan has a subsidy of $300 a game, but he only has $200, and Nike must be made to realize this mistake as soon as possible.

The USC players were ready to play, and Floyd pushed the door in, frowning slightly.

The big visiting locker room in Arizona is really basic, the place is small and narrow, the walls are yellow, and the lights are not bright enough, which looks very oppressive.

"It seems that they don't welcome us very much." Freud saw that there were still two broken light bulbs that had not been replaced, and said in a mocking tone.

"The disdain of the strong team to use such means is a reflection of their lack of self-confidence." When Emperor Wu heard this, he followed Freud and said.

Floyd patted the tactical board and said: "That's right, their lack of bench and weak interior line last season have not been alleviated by the freshmen they recruited, and they still rely on Harden, Ayles and Richards to score, and the offensive efficiency is not as good as ours, and even worse than the University of Washington, which we defeated before." The reason why they have won three in a row is entirely because their opponents are too weak. As for the strengths of this team, it is naturally a 38.5% three-point shooting percentage and an average of 15 free throws per game. We have to be careful of their outside three-pointers and fouls, James Harden was able to get 6 free throws per game last season, and this season's number is 8 for the time being, so you have to be careful of being fouled by him, and you must not post it. ”

He said this specifically to DeRozan, Harden's athleticism is not as good as DeRozan, but basketball IQ is just the opposite, and Floyd is worried that DeRozan relies too much on his body to defend, so he will inevitably be fouled by a cunning opponent.

The players of the University of Southern California have watched Harden's game video in the past few days and have an understanding of his style, Wu Huang feels that it should be pasted to defend it, as long as the explanation is clear, he is not worried about him making fouls, far away, but it is easy for him to get shooting space.

Floyd didn't know this, but DeRozan didn't have Wu Huang's sense of defense, and if he got close, he would be found foul by the opponent. What USC wants now is not DeRozan's defense, he is the team's second point of attack and must not be beaten by Harden.

"It's an all-American livestream today, you know what that means, go out and let the fans across the country take a good look at what you're capable of." Floyd finally motivated the team, and it was time for them to play.

Wu Huang had a strong first three games, and CBS will broadcast the game live today, with Rick Barry and Bill Wharton in charge.

Rick Barry is the undisputed NBA's 50 superstar, the first scoring champion in the '60s not to be named Chamberlain, and probably the most arrogant and bad-tempered superstar of all time. After retiring, he changed his career to become an anchor and did not change his usual temperament, although he was talented, but because of his sharp and vicious rhetoric and highly personal commentary, controversy has always continued.

Bill Wharton is also one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, the only player in history to be the regular season MVP, Finals MVP and Sixth Man of the Year, one of the greatest centers in NCAA history – and he played less than 40 percent of his 14-year NBA career. After retiring, Wharton is undoubtedly the most indescribable commentary on the planet, the American version of Stephen Chow? The American version of Han Qiaosheng? No words are enough to describe his fantastic, want-to-fall and nonsense commentary.

One of these two is a notoriously poisonous tongue, and the other is a notoriously comic, and the two together are a guarantee of ratings, and their popularity is no less than that of the best comic duo Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and in terms of qualifications, these two are also much higher than the latter two.

Chinese fans have a good impression of Bill Wharton, who is known to be the representative of the American commentators who strongly supports Yao Ming.

Rick Barry was a very active commentator in the 80's and started as a guest commentator in the 90's.

Bill Wharton, who introduced the players of both teams before the game, focused on Wu Huang and commented on the Chinese: "Hugo was already famous in high school, and he chose USC after graduation, which was the right decision. When I watch him play on the court, I can't help but think of Steve Nash, but sometimes I think he's more like Arenas, he's always unpredictable on the court, his style changes from time to time, but he always thinks about the situation and sometimes it makes you think it's not luck. ”

Rick Barry habitually sang the opposite, the biggest characteristic of this master is that he always works against others, but he has a high status, old qualifications, and a glorious white skin, plus a poisonous tongue, no one in the entire league can cure him, Jordan and Magic He dared to complain back then, no one he dared to have a poisonous tongue.

"Hugo is one of the best scorers in the NCAA, with a height advantage at the point guard position and a lot of confidence in mid-to-long-range shooting," Barry said in a cold voice. But I think his shortcomings are also obvious, first of all, he is not good enough to control the ball, he is not skilled enough to control the ball with his left hand, and his breakthrough skills are average. He's not a pure point guard, he looks like a point guard who shoots first. My question is, will he have what it takes to make his teammates better while scoring like crazy? And he didn't have any really strong opponents in the division, so there was no way to test his ability to fight under high pressure. ”
