NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 6 Young age is also a problem?
In 1996, broadcasting conditions were limited, but fortunately, the attention of NCAA games has always been high.

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

After all, basketball is about sending the ball into the basket. Although the opponent's talent is not strong, but Li You's breakthrough in the first half of the game ended, and the efficiency was too high.

Dave Wall, a senior scout for the Lakers, is mainly responsible for observing and evaluating players in the college league and the international league.

He played for the Washington Bullets, Philadelphia 1960ers and many other teams in the 76s, won the NBA championship in 1969, and coached some teams after retiring.

I just joined the management team of the Lakers in 1995. I came to watch the University of Connecticut game tonight mainly to observe Ray Allen. After the first half, I was attracted by Li You's performance.

"Extremely disciplined, good at using his body, not afraid of confrontation, and finishes very well at the basket!"

"Explosiveness seems to be lacking, yellow race, 18 years old?"

A question mark was drawn on the notebook. Dave Wall thought Li You was very interesting. Combined with the data he had collected before, it seemed that he had found a treasure.

At 32:40 in the half, UConn led by 8 points.

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

Although Ray Allen also played well, the fans were even more impressed by Li You's wonderful dribbles with the ball in hand.

During the intermission, Ray Allen couldn't hold back anymore, which was completely different from Li You in his impression:
"Lee, how do you do it, I mean, that crooked picker, how do you get the ball into the hoop?"

The teammates also pricked up their ears, and they could still score the ball after their movements were deformed, which is indeed a bit miraculous.

Li You didn't hold back either, and said in a serious and serious voice:
"Maintain the center of gravity of the body, and then throw the ball towards the basket. Be careful, don't throw it crookedly!"

"Shhh!!"

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

"Empty suit! It must be an empty suit!"

"Get through Jinmai! Just like those Hong Kong movies!"

"."

Influenced by Li You, everyone would watch some martial arts movies when they were bored. Apart from Bruce Lee's classic movies, Jackie Chan's movies were the most watched movies.
半场6中5，11分2篮板2助攻1抢断，替补上场后，李佑就把对方的小个子后场给突爆了。

After returning to the locker room, head coach Calhoun heard a bunch of "empty suits", which was a bit inexplicable, but he didn't care about it. He took the initiative to pat Li You on the shoulder, and then continued to exhort:

"To maintain the lead, we have to protect the rebounds well, and the opponent will continue to strengthen their shots. That is their only effective means of offense."

"Nate, increase the defensive range!"

Following the head coach's instructions, everyone quieted down again, and the players who heard the instructions nodded seriously.

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

At present, he is still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the NCAA game. Whenever the team takes the lead, the coaching staff will always choose to stabilize.

After the start of the second half, Dave Wall, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, was a little disappointed. He noticed that Li You was sitting on the bench.

He quickly realized that Li You was still a sophomore.

"The style of play does not match his age, and he is more mature than his peers!"

After writing 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 can be seen blindly. The bullet speed, bounce, and shot height are not comparable to other players on the court.

Although he felt that the Lakers would not get the top 5 picks, Dave Wall still marked Ray Allen, and then he also marked Li You.

In the second half of the game, when Li You came off the bench, he returned to his normal position-controlling style of play.

After dribbling half court, give the ball to the inside player in the block position, and then follow his teammates to cover and run.

Each attack took nearly 30 seconds to complete. Except for a few transition attacks, the Eastern Michigan Eagles were completely suppressed throughout the second half.

Dave Wall nodded again when he saw Li You, who made several interspersed moves and hit an open three-pointer from the right flank outside the three-point line.

Completely different from the collected data, although Li You, a sophomore, didn't have many opportunities, he had a lot of influence on the team.

In the second half of the game, there were no too exciting goals. Running tactics, openings, completing shots, attacking in the low post, scoring 2 points, and switching offenses were all fouls. Both sides chose to allow the opponent to make free throws.

The enthusiasm of the audience is undiminished, NCAA games are like this, and the fans of the University of Connecticut are constantly cheering, they are about to advance again!
In the end, at 65:74, the Connecticut Huskies successfully eliminated the Eastern Michigan Eagles and entered the Sweet 16 again.

After the game, Li You and his teammates waved to the UConn fans present.

出场18分钟，9中6，其中三分球3中1，罚球3中3，16分3篮板4助攻1抢断2失误，李佑的数据又上升了一丢丢。

Dave Wall glanced at his peers, sorted his clothes, and then left quickly. As the time for the draft approached, he needed to give feedback to the management as soon as possible.

The RCA Dome is still raucous at the end of the game, as disappointed Eastern Michigan fans breathe
Ray Allen enjoyed such an atmosphere very much. When he thought that after entering the league, he would have to be a younger brother, he felt a little uneasy.

At the end, when he was about to enter the player channel, Ray Allen suddenly whispered:

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

Li You didn't expect that Ray Allen would worry about this kind of problem, after all, the treatment of high-ranking rookies is different:
"Don't worry about this at all. The team that drafts you regards you as the cornerstone of the team."

"They all carry a head on one shoulder, and everyone plays basketball for a living, so don't worry about those old guys."

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

"Li, you will succeed. God will always favor players who train hard. Hard training will eventually pay off!"

Li You just smiled in response, and the two walked quickly to the player tunnel.

Back in the locker room, Li You cheered and celebrated with his teammates again. Coach Calhoun was also very happy, but thinking of the follow-up opponents, he was the first to remind:

"Take care of your body, we will change places tomorrow, don't stress, we have already achieved our goal this year!"

　The QAQ time was set wrong, fortunately it was discovered early
