Chapter 46 The winning streak continues
The time has turned to 2009, and the NCAA regular season has been completed halfway.
In the past December, USC has continued to remain unbeaten. They have won all 16 games. Wu Huang won the Grand Ten League "Player of the Month Award" again this month.
In January and February, USC had to play a total of 14 games. Although the monthly games were only one less than before, the entire schedule was much easier.
ncaa is not just a basketball event, it contains dozens of sports, but basketball, rugby and baseball are the three most famous events.
But no matter what the program is, most of these athletes have poor academic performance, and usually the better athletes are, the worse their academic performance is!
Demar DeRozan is a typical example. This second-hand man was suspended by the school for four games in January due to his performance issues. If his results still fail, he may be subject to additional bans.
In the next half month, the University of Southern California will face the embarrassment of lacking the main second position, and the team's strength will undoubtedly be affected.
In the three games in early January, the University of Southern California won a difficult time, and each game had to last minute before he could pass the thrilling level with Emperor Wu's personal ability.
After three months of game training, Wu Huang's ability to break through ball has now improved significantly compared to when the school started. Even without pick-and-roll, he can now break through most opponents.
The NBA is not short of point guards now, but the excellent point guards in NCAA are beginning to become scarce. It seems that there is only one first-year star point guard in the Pacific 10th League this year. Isaiya Thomas was directly ignored due to his height issues. Wu Huang was rated as the top five control positions in the United States by ESPN at the end of December. Of course, this refers to the NCAA League.
In January, DeRozan missed five games, and Wu Huang's scoring data immediately rose by 5 points, and his assists were reduced by 2 times, and his shooting percentage also dropped by 5%.
This phenomenon shows that after USC lacks the second ball-holding offensive point, the defense can increase its defensive force against Emperor Wu, and his efficiency naturally begins to decline.
However, USC still did not lose, and Wu Huang showed his key ball ability in adversity.
In the first five games in January, Wu Huang averaged 3 points per game in the last minute of the game. In just 5 games, Wu Huang completed a final kill and a quasi-final kill, and the draft market also rose step by step. The teams that NBA were playing badly sent scouts to follow and observe, especially those teams that lacked point guards.
With the unbeaten record of the University of Southern California, Wu Huang's name appears more and more frequently in the media, and more and more media want to interview Wu Huang.
Floyd, the head coach of the USC, said: "I don't know how to predict Hugo's prospects. His performance is impeccable. I think he can be a Tanhua or a No. 1 pick. He deserves it even if he is the No. 1 pick. But it depends on whether the teams with the top three draft picks need a point guard who can be the core for ten years."
So, what teams that are badly played need point guards now?
The teams that the NBA have played badly this year are very interesting. Almost all Western teams, the Clippers, Thunder, Kings, Timberwolves and Warriors will obviously be the strongest contenders in the top five picks next year. In the East, only the Knicks can compete with these five teams. Among these six teams, the Clippers, Thunder, and Warriors have core point guards, and only the Kings, Timberwolves and Knicks may use the signing position to choose a defender.
Which team does Wu Huang himself prefer?
Others don't know about this problem. Wu Huang actually wants to stay in Los Angeles the most, but his favorite Lakers don't have a lottery draw, and the Clippers don't lack point guards, so he knows in his heart that if he participates in the summer draft, he will probably not stay in Los Angeles.
In January, USC ended seven games with a total victory, and Wu Huang continued to be the Player of the Month in the Big Ten League for the rest of the year.
This month, Wu Huang played seven games, averaging 34 minutes per game, contributing 306 points, 65 rebounds, 66 assists, 25 steals, 10 blocks, 36 turnovers, shooting percentage of 489%, three-point shooting percentage of 388%, and free throw shooting percentage of 855%.
If Wu Huang’s data this month is compared with himself, although his average score of 5 points per game has dropped significantly, his shooting percentage and assists have dropped significantly. It is hard to say whether he has performed better or worse?
But compared with other geniuses, Wu Huang's data in January can be regarded as the best performer among all college players. The data of 3066 is rare in NCAA history. Even if he is a data brush, he can get such a piece of data, but he thinks he will not be much worse in his ability.
Emperor Wu himself felt that it was unreal. Every time he had that strange dream, his strength would improve qualitatively and his performance would also make a leap.
The difficulty of ncaa is already a bit low for him. In the entire Pacific League, Wu Huang only felt a little challenge when facing several strong teams such as Arizona Yamato UCL. No other team can be called a core genius, and it is not enough to pose a threat to the University of Southern California.
As the 2008-09 season entered February, Wu Huang and his USC were still invincible, and UC's crazy performance began to attract the attention of fans across the country.
Everyone wants to see if the University of Southern California will win the championship with a complete victory in the end?
On February 20, USC encountered the biggest challenge they wanted to win the whole game to end the regular season. The city's arch-rival UCL sniped at USC on the away game. Finally, through a hard battle with double overtime, USC relied on Wu Huang's key three-pointer to win the second derby and doubled the city's arch-rival UCL.
After the game, Wu Huang finally began to accept exclusive interviews from the media. The next day, he told his experience before he became famous in an exclusive interview with the editor-in-chief of the domestic "Basketball Pioneer" newspaper.
"I started practicing basketball formally after entering high school. I still remember at the beginning, because of my skin color, I was discriminated against and often ridiculed. What impressed me the most was that before the game, people always reminded me that 'this is not a volleyball game', and some people asked me to play 'table tennis', and some even shouted to me in the stands in the stands, 'Get back to China'."
Su Qun is very interested in his experience of racial discrimination, and this sensitive topic can attract the attention of fans and even non-fans the most.
Emperor Wu did not resist discussing these things. He said: "The United States has various problems. As a global ethnic integration immigrant country, the hostility, discrimination, conflict and barriers in social groups and classes are far greater than other countries. However, the United States is also a country where heroes are judged by success or failure. As long as you prove that you are a hero, people will let go of prejudice, regard your success as your own success, and regard your reappearance of the 'American Dream'."
"If you want to be recognized in white and black, you must be very good and better than everyone. And I did it, so you can see that I am their hero now." Wu Huang did not deliberately use Chinese to answer in Chinese during an interview. His Chinese is not good, so he just occasionally puts a few sentences in one sentence.
This is a bit like the fake foreigners in China. When they speak, they have to put in a few English sentences, as if it is so fashionable. Perhaps this can make their personality look nobler.
Teacher Su finally asked: "I want to represent Chinese fans and ask you one last question. If the Chinese national team calls you in the future, will you choose to naturalize China?"
Emperor Wu had known for a long time that sooner or later, Chinese reporters would ask him this question. His expression suddenly became solemn, and his tone seemed to have changed a little. He said seriously: "I have missed it once. If the Chinese team needs me, I will have no choice."
Teacher Su couldn't believe that he would hear such an answer. He thought that Emperor Wu would play Tai Chi with him or give an ambiguous answer, but he didn't expect that he would reply so directly?
So he didn't pay attention. There were many things wrong with Emperor Wu's words.
Wu Huang regretted it as soon as he finished answering. He knew that such an answer would definitely arouse extreme dissatisfaction among American fans.
"I seemed to have lost control again just now. How can I answer this question like this? This will harm me without any benefit!"
Su Qun smiled. Seeing this young man with a very tender face, he knew that this little guy had just said something wrong.
"That sentence just now... well... I mean... can you polish it a little when you log out?" Emperor Wu knew that this matter was big or small. If someone was used and the media followed the trend and hyped it up, it would have a great impact on him.
"Don't worry, witnessing the defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team in Sydney and Busan. Looking at the struggle in Beijing this year, any conscientious media person will not make things difficult for their compatriots." The editor-in-chief's words made Emperor Wu feel relieved, and he can't just open his mouth like this in the future.
After interviewing ESPN, Los Angeles Times and Basketball Pioneer, Wu Huang met Brand Moretz, who came from New York, who was preparing to set up an agent company because Wu Huang had promised him that after the end of March Crazy, he would officially sign an agent contract to participate in the July draft.
Brand Moretz has more than a year of work experience. This time he is planning to put his future on this neighbor and friend. If Emperor Wu can become famous in one fell swoop, his career will be successful soon. In addition, Brand Moretz is also willing to help Emperor Wu succeed in his heart. They are not only the relationship between agents and employers, but at least in his heart, there is also a little ulterior motive.
