NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 4 A Distinctive Style of Play

Whenever the game enters a tailwind, Li You's playing time will also be affected.

After entering the NCAA tournament, there will be many scouts present in every game.

Of course, these people didn't come to see Li You, Ray Allen was their goal.

The big white man Travis Knight of the University of Connecticut has also attracted much attention. Although his body is thinner, there are not many players with a height of 2 meters.

In the United States, the guard is the most curly, and there are a lot of little black guards around 1 meters every year
Li You didn't officially debut until 8 minutes and 56 seconds into the first half. At this time, the team had already led by 18 points, and what he had to do was to keep the lead.

The scouts of the 76ers on the spot also attracted a lot of media attention. In this year's draft, the 76ers almost locked in the No. [-] pick.

Since the last-to-last Grizzlies and the third-to-last Raptors have only joined the league, neither team can get the No. 1999 pick before 76, which makes the second-to-last [-]ers pick up a big deal.

The time has not yet reached May 5, but many media reporters know that this year's No. 19 pick must belong to the 76ers!
The probability of winning the No. 33.7 lottery is as high as 76%. If this is not the case, then the new president of the [-]ers, Pat Cross, will probably knock down David Stern.
Different scouts have different reactions to Li You's performance.

At the top of the arc, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his center of gravity slightly, slightly in and out with his left hand, and then suddenly dribbled behind his back quickly.

After swinging out halfway, Li You switched to his right hand to lean against the defender, and went straight inside.

When some scouts saw Li You's performance, they shook their heads secretly, and recorded in their notebooks:

"Delicate technique, lack of explosive power, it is difficult to get rid of the defense in the first step."

Of course, there were also some patient scouts who noticed that Li You did not stop the ball during the breakthrough process, circled the inside line, and cut into his teammates with hidden assists to easily score 2 points.

"Excellent passing vision, always grasp the position of teammates, excellent tactical discipline."

Seeing that Li You sent an extremely risky pass to the ground in the transition attack, the ball pierced through the opponent's defense, and then assisted the teammate who was going down quickly to score 2 points, some scouts shook their heads again:
"Risk passing, lack of control over the game."

In the eyes of other scouts, such a pass was appreciated:
"Creative passing, bold and careful, very good fundamentals."

"."

The polarized evaluation also represents different basketball concepts.

However, in this era that likes to lay down positions, dig inside, and create shooting conditions for shooters without ball screens, the two sides sometimes have common evaluations.

This time, with 7 seconds left in UConn's offensive time, Li You, who was at the top of the arc, picked and rolled the ball with his left hand and suddenly accelerated.

Colgate's main center Adonal Foyle was delayed in switching defenses.

Faced with a big player close to 2 meters tall, Li You, who had just dribbled the three-point line, dribbled the ball behind his back again, took advantage of the opponent's move, and then switched to his right hand to complete a half-turn feint.

There was a slight pause on the three-point line, Li You suddenly lowered his center of gravity, leaned forward suddenly, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.

Adonal Foyle stepped back and kicked the garlic, saw Li You crossed back and pulled the ball on the three-point line and threw it. He tried to block his body but couldn't keep up with his brain. Finally, he lost his center of gravity and sat on the floor
"Oh!!"

The ball was hollowed into the net, and the audience in the RCA Dome stadium shouted excitedly.

Li You raised his hands with a smile, indicating that the cheers should be louder.

Fans like such fancy goals very much, but for scouts of this era, they can't help but comment:
"Poor shot selection with mismatch advantage in the paint!"

"."

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 45:26, and the University of Connecticut basically sealed the victory.

Coach Calhoun has never restricted Li You's offense.

When he discovered Li You from New Mexico, it was this unique style of play that he valued.

Just like his request to Ray Allen is not only three-pointers, not to be a pure shooter, coach Calhoun does not want Li You to become a traditional point guard like Stockton.

At halftime, everyone in the UConn locker room was waiting for the head coach to speak.

"Good job, don't be careless in the second half, you are all junior players, I don't want to see a miracle happen to us!"

Coach Calhoun gave some instructions on the main lineup, and Ray Allen immediately made a promise:

"We won't relax until we win the game!"

When it comes to the championship, the coaching staff also began to shorten the rotation. In a game that determines the outcome, they usually smash the main players.

李佑上半场打了9分46秒，4中2，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，拿到7分2篮板4助攻1抢断。

Compared with the previous qualifying rounds, as long as the main lineup plays normally, his playing time will be reduced.

For this situation, Li You didn't complain. The basketball environment is like this. Coach Calhoun treats him well. He can get a basketball scholarship thanks to this good old man.

In the second half of the game, Colgate University also failed to reverse the game.

Alnardo Foyle scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 turnovers, barely saving some face for Colgate University.

Ray Allen scored a game-high 24 points with 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

李佑下半场打了8分钟不到，数据定格在12分3篮板5助攻2抢断1失误。

74:59, the University of Connecticut successfully entered the second round.

The fans left the arena contentedly, seeing the star players perform well, the tickets are worth it tonight!

On the morning of March 3th, after the team's training session, Ray Allen and Li You dressed in sports and came to the coffee shop near the training hall as scheduled.

Mark Bartelstein waved to the two, ordered three cups of coffee after sitting down, and said impatiently:
"Ray, the Boston Celtics have shown their interest, which is great news for you!"

After years of being in the basketball circle, Mark Bartelstein has a big fish this year.

As an agent, signing a talented player like Ray Allen, as long as the operation is done properly, this is a living cash cow!

Ray Allen was not surprised when he heard the news. During his sophomore year, many NBA teams had already slapped him in the face.

If it weren't for the championship, he could have entered the draft last year.

Seeing that Ray Allen did not show a smiling face, Mark Bartelstein turned his head helplessly, and said to Li You:
"Lee, maybe you should play for another year. I know you're very talented, but those idiots don't understand you. The joint trial training is useless!"

"That kind of trial training can't show your characteristics at all. If you can get the team's individual trial training invitation, I believe you will definitely be selected in the first round."

Hearing such a suggestion, Li You asked back with a mocking smile:

"Mark, if we play for another year, next year we will directly fall in the first round?"

"The NCAA is always full of surprises. Who can guarantee the team's results?"

Mark Bartelstein looked into Li You's eyes and didn't choose to draw a big cake.

In the end, the white agent, who had begun to lose his hair, said seriously:
"Even if I lose the draft, I will send you to the NBA. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. We must be prepared for this."
