In 1996, broadcast conditions were limited, but fortunately, the NCAA games have always attracted a lot of attention.

Lee Yoo played an eye-catching performance against Eastern Michigan University and refreshed the impression of some scouts.

Basketball is ultimately about putting the ball into the basket, and although the opponent is not talented, Li You's breakthrough in the first half of the game was too efficient.

Dave Wall, a senior scout for the Lakers, is primarily responsible for observing and evaluating players in the College League and the International League.

He played for the Washington Bullets, Philadelphia 76ers, and won the NBA championship in 1969 in the 1960s.

Having just joined the Lakers management team in 1995, he came to see the University of Connecticut game tonight mainly to observe Ray Allen, but after the first half, he was attracted by Lee You's performance.

"Extremely disciplined, good at using the body, not afraid of confrontation, very good finishing under the basket!"

"Explosiveness seems to be lacking, yellow, 18?"

Drawing a question mark in his notebook, Dave Wall found Li You very interesting, and combined with the data he had collected earlier, it seemed that he had found a treasure.

At 32:40 at halftime, UConn led by eight points.

Many fans at the scene are still reminiscing about Li You's performance, and young people always prefer fancy dribbling!

Although Ray Allen also played well, Li You, who had the ball in hand, made a deeper impression on the fans with several wonderful passes.

At halftime, Ray Allen couldn't hold back, which was completely different from his impression of Li You:

"Lee, how did you do that, I mean, that crooked pick-and-roll, how did you get the ball into the basket?"

The teammates also pricked up their ears and were able to score the ball after the movement was deformed, which was indeed a bit magical.

Li You did not have reservations, and said in a serious and serious voice:

"Hold your center of gravity, then throw the ball towards the basket, and be careful, don't throw it crooked!"

"Shhhhh

Everyone booed, and then everyone discussed Li You's sudden outburst.

"Flight service! It must be a flight attendant! ”

"It's time to get through the Golden Mai! Just like those Hong Kong movies! ”

“...”

Influenced by Li You, everyone will watch some martial arts movies when they are bored, in addition to Bruce Lee's classic movies, the most watched are Jackie Chan's films... The second half

5 of 6 in the half, 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, after coming off the bench, Li You burst the opponent's small backcourt.

After Coach Calhoun returned to the locker room, he heard a bunch of "empty clothes" a little inexplicable, but he didn't care about this, took the initiative to pat Li You on the shoulder, and then continued to advise:

"To keep the lead, we've got to protect the rebounds, and they're going to keep shooting and that's the only way they can attack."

"Knight, increase the range!"

With the manager's advice, everyone quieted down again, and the players who heard the instructions all nodded with serious expressions.

When Lee Woo heard that Coach Calhoun was going to slow down in the second half, he knew that his playing time would not increase.

At the moment, he is still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the NCAA game, and whenever the team takes the lead, the coaching staff will always choose to hold on.

...

After the start of the second half, Dave Wall, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, was a little disappointed, and he noticed that Lee Woo was sitting on the bench.

Soon he realized that Li You was still a second-year student.

"The style of play does not match the age, and I am more mature than my peers!"

After noting down a feature again, Dave Wall smiled, he suddenly remembered the evaluation of his peers, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:

"It's more like a high school student!"

Ray Allen's talent is blind to the eye, and his speed, bounce, and shot height are not comparable to other players on the field.

Although he felt that the Lakers could not get the top 5 picks, Dave Wall still focused on marking Ray Allen, and then on Lee You's side.

In the second half of the game, when Li You came on as a substitute, he returned to the regular style of play.

Dribble past half court and give the ball to the post player in the blocking area, and then follow his teammates to cover the run.

Each offense took nearly 30 seconds to complete, and with the exception of a few transition offenses, the East Michigan Hawks were completely suppressed throughout the second half.

Seeing Lee You, who interspersed his runs a few times and hit an open three-pointer on the right wing outside the three-point line, Dave Wall nodded again.

Completely different from the collected data, although the sophomore Li You does not have many opportunities, his influence on the team is not small.

In the second half of the game, there were no too exciting goals, running tactics, there were vacant positions, completing shots, attacking in the low post inside, scoring 2 points, switching offenses were fouls, and both sides chose to let the opponent make free throws.

The crowd was enthusiastic, and the NCAA game was like that, and the UConn fans were cheering that they were about to advance again!

In the end, at 65:74, the Connecticut Huskies successfully eliminated the Eastern Michigan Hawks and reached the Sweet 16 again.

After the game, Li You and his teammates waved to the University of Connecticut fans in attendance.

Played 18 minutes, 6 of 9, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

Dave Wall glanced at his peers next to him, straightened his clothes and walked away quickly, as the draft drew closer, he needed to get his favorites back to management as soon as possible.

The RCA Dome arena was still noisy at the end of the game, and disappointed Eastern Michigan fans were spitting fragrant...

Ray Allen enjoyed the atmosphere very much, and the thought that after entering the league, he would have to be a little brother, and he was also a little apprehensive.

Dragged on at the end, and was about to enter the players' tunnel, Ray Allen suddenly whispered:

"I don't know what the atmosphere is in the locker room of an NBA team, do rookies have to carry bags for veterans?"

Li You didn't expect Ray Allen to worry about this kind of problem, after all, the treatment of high-pick rookies is not the same:

"Don't worry about that, the team that drafted you is the cornerstone of the team."

"It's all one shoulder and one head, everyone plays ball and eats, don't care about those old guys."

Ray Allen grinned when he heard Li You's words, he just needed a psychological comfort:

"Lee, you will definitely succeed, God will always favor the players who train hard, and hard training will eventually pay off!"

Lee Woo just smiled in response, and the two walked briskly to the players' tunnel.

Back in the locker room, Li You cheered and celebrated with his teammates, and Coach Calhoun was also very happy, but when he thought of the follow-up opponents, he still reminded him as soon as possible:

"Take care of your body, tomorrow we should change places, don't be stressed, we have achieved our goal this year!"
