April 8, at Ford Arena in Detroit, half an hour before the start of the game, in the locker room of the University of Southern California—

"Guess how much heavier I am now?" In the locker room at the University of Southern California, Wu Huang and his teammates stood in front of a scale, and no one understood what this little thing was put here for.

"I guess you're 180 pounds, right?" Bart glanced at Wu Huang, who was looking at his upper body, although his figure was still very weak, he seemed to be stronger than when he first started, and his muscle lines were already very obvious.

Wu Huang stood on the scale, and the figure of 181 pounds was quickly displayed on it, and he weighed more than 180 pounds.

It is impossible to measure his height in this locker room, but Wu Huang knows that his height is 190.3cm, his weight is 180.5 pounds, his arm span is 208cm, and his body fat rate is 6.8%.

Wu Huang belongs to the long figure, with long hands, long legs and long arms...... And that thing is also long...... So, the time to grow flesh on the body will definitely be later.

His current weight is already very good, and his body fat percentage is also maintained very well, a body fat rate of about 6% is the best body fat standard for basketball players, there is no need to drop below 5%, and it is difficult to do this under normal circumstances, and the peak Jordan is also in the early 5% of body fat.

When it comes to today's game, the two teams don't even need to take the initiative to investigate, and the media has already dissected the characteristics of the two teams.

The four main players at the University of North Carolina are Taylor on the inside. Hansbro, Ty. Lawson, Wayne. Ellington and Danny. Green. All four of them have very strong physiques. Defensively very pressing. You don't need to defend yourself to defend one-third of an acre.

Head Coach Roy. Williams emphasizes a pressing-style one-man defense, with interior core Taylor. Hansbru's physicality, defensive skills, and defensive awareness allow him to pull out to defend pick-and-rolls, and he can shrink near the rim and be ready to defend and cut into the rim at any time, ensuring that North Carolina has a good efficiency in protecting the rim. At the same time, North Carolina is also one of the teams with the fewest fouls, Hanspur is willing to desperately get his teammates to grab the board, and North Carolina has one of the best defensive rebounding rates in the league.

Meanwhile, Roy. Williams puts a lot of emphasis on off-ball discipline on the perimeter. It is absolutely not allowed to risk leaking people for the sake of stealing. North Carolina is at the bottom of the league in turnovers, and the reward is airtightness from beyond the three-point line, and they rarely give opponents fixed-point opportunities, and can give extremely low three-point weighting and three-point shooting percentage. In other words, North Carolina has a very strong cutting ability for offensive options, and they don't want to have a high number of assists, but can only solve problems in the middle range with a variety of strong shots with the ball.

Floyd knew all of this, and North Carolina's defense was simply about dividing the defensive zone into three parts: inside, mid-range and outside the three-point line, and then using two excellent interior players to guard the restricted area. Three outside gatekeepers blocked the three-point line, while the mid-range was selectively vacated.

The mid-distance area is arguably the weakness of the University of North Carolina. But the fact that they made it to the finals shows that no one has been able to beat them through this weakness.

Any team that wants to play in the middle distance must first break through the Thai side. Lawson, Ellington, and Danny. Green's steel defense, which is not so easy to do. So, the key to this game is USC's outside offense, can Wu Huang and DeRozan make a way outside the three-point line?

Floyd has studied it in the past few days and found that there are not many ways to cheat, and this is not a task that can be tricked, so USC can only break through, use the offensive ability of Wu Huang and DeRozan, and use their characteristics of being good at blocking and dismantling and running without the ball, to break through the steel defense set by the University of North Carolina head-on.

Theoretically, NC is strategically right to force opponents to play with the ball, but not every team can't break through this defense, and Floyd is clear: Don't you emphasize man-to-man and don't give open spots? Then I'll force you to change defenses by blocking or covering without the ball, and if the misalignment comes out, I won't believe you don't cover it. Especially the small Thai. Lawson, can he still misplace DeRozan? Even if Emperor Wu is facing Tai. Lawson also had a sufficient height advantage when he was joined by Ellington and Danny. Green will definitely help him hide, but USC doesn't care about that, they will resolutely use Ty. Lawson's height made a fuss, so he couldn't hide.

Wu Huang has the heaviest burden on his shoulders, and how he plays today will directly determine whether the team's offense can be played.

The two teams entered, and the University of Southern California came out behind North Carolina again, and Wu Huang was naturally the last to walk out of the players' tunnel to receive the cheers of the fans.

His support group is all here again today, and there are too many girls, and sometimes it is a trouble. However, the trouble after the game is left to think about after the game, Wu Huang has nothing else in his mind now, all he thinks about is: go all out to win this game, pocket the championship trophy, and then enter the NBA in the scenery and start another part of his journey!

"There are geniuses from all over the world, they have more experience than me, there are up-and-comers who are even more talented than me in the future, and the challenge there is much higher than here." Wu Huang looked at the NBA stars on the sidelines, and secretly thought in his heart: "Basketball in the NBA is not pure, but who cares if it is pure basketball, it is a stage for geniuses, if I want to prove something to the world, then I must conquer here." ”

After Wu Huang appeared, looking at the dense crowd in the stadium, the scale of 80,000 people can already give people a boundless feeling, and today he will officially step into a new field as the first person in the NCAA under the attention of 80,000 people on the scene.

U.S. President Barack Obama is here today, and not far from him is another former president who has been riddled with numerous scandals, Clinton, who looks a little similar to Kennedy, Stallone and Zeng.

It is said that Clinton and Hillary Clinton have always been at odds with Obama, and it would be nice if the two fought.

Jordan, Carter, Jamison and other North Carolina-born active and retired stars all appeared in the front row to watch the game today. Some irrelevant celebrities who came to join in the fun, I can't count them today, such as Zhang Ziyi or something, who knows if these people can figure out the difference between PG and SG.

There are so many heavyweights from all walks of life on the scene today, and how to give a close-up to the director is a difficult problem, so it is worth scrutinizing that the current general manager of the Knicks, Donnie. Walsh actually got a two-second close-up, which was obviously related to the Knicks' recent moves, otherwise how could he have enjoyed such treatment?

In 2008, Donnie. Walsh became the Knicks' new president of basketball operations, and immediately after taking over he set about working on several of the Knicks' long-term big contracts. Crawford traded to Eyre. Harrington. Then he sent Marty away. Collins and Zach. Randolph in exchange for Catino. Mobley and Tim. Thomas.

While the players were not of much help to the team, their contracts all expired at the end of the 2010 season, which would save the Knicks $27 million in total salary and allow the team to have enough salary space to sign free agents whose contracts expire.

The Knicks' task this season is to mess up, and now there are not a few games left in the regular season, and they have finally slipped to the bottom of the East, and then there is a good chance of winning the top pick, and the worst is the top three draft picks.

The New Yorkers' minds now, everyone is clear, they want to select a young team core through the draft, if the selection is good, then in the summer of 10 to get a star of the year, the Knicks will immediately have the qualification to compete for the championship.

As such, they were the team most interested in Wu Huang, and D'Antoni even called Wu Huang twice to congratulate him when he won the regional championship and broke the three-point record in the elite quarterfinals. Of course, D'Antoni also briefly talked about his views on Wu Huang on the phone, which was actually hinting to Wu Huang that if he arrived at the Knicks, how would he use him and how would he position him.

D'Antoni was the king of Europe when he played, and he was still Kobe's idol, and after returning to the NBA to coach, he was also a master of small-ball tactics. But the truth is that except for his years with the Suns, D'Antoni didn't have a good time, and at this time in New York, he couldn't even find a suitable ball-handling thruster, so the thirst for Wu Huang simply made him unable to sleep.

Wu Huang is not resistant to the Knicks, he naturally knows the benefits of playing in big cities, Los Angeles and Knicks are the most desirable places for superstars in the league, although he is only a college star, but he also yearns to play in big cities.

The New York media saw that their team had the opportunity to bring Wu Huang under its umbrella, and recently continued to add fuel to the hype of this quasi-champion, so they almost said directly: The Knicks have emptied all the tumors and vacated the core position of the team, just waiting for you to take place.

Larry. Bird was the kick-off guest of this game, and the players of both teams greeted the Hall of Fame superstar one by one before the game, but the little ones were worried when they saw the expressionless big bird, and Bird didn't care about them at all, in the face of these juniors' greetings, just nodding their heads and it was over.

Bird's vision is not ordinarily high, and among these players, except for Wu Huang, there is really no seedling that he values.

Wu Huang meets Larry. Bird is also a little unstable, this is not an ordinary character, no matter how crazy he is, he doesn't dare to attack in front of the big bird, although he still believes in his identity, and he is the last to go up, but he also greets politely.

"Well, I heard you talk trash?" Larry. Bird said suddenly, but still with a cold attitude.

Emperor Wu felt unexpected, Bird didn't pay attention to anyone, but opened his mouth to him, but what he said made him overwhelmed for a while, and it took a long time to react: "Yes, but I haven't said it for a long time." ”

"Why?"

"I can't meet an opponent who makes me feel tricky."

Wu Huang's words made Larry. Bird couldn't help but chuckle, the latter didn't care about the arrogance that Emperor Wu was unintentionally revealed, because he felt that Emperor Wu was qualified to say so, if he was too modest, what kind of genius was it? He immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You will meet him soon." (To be continued.) )
