Chapter 294 & 95 A season of ups and downs

In the opening game of the 2020-2021 season, the Kings host the Boston Celtics. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It was the first regular season game of the season, but the Jacques Arena was surrounded by fans.

The Kings players who won the championship with the team last season received their championship rings from the president of the league and stood in a row to watch the championship flag rise into the sky of Jacques Arena.

Countless people screamed, cheered, and picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of this historic scene, which was a championship for the Imperial Team that had not been seen for half a century.

After feeling the joy of the championship again, the race is about to begin.

It is clear that this schedule is a deliberate result of the league. The Celtics have up-and-coming superstar Otard Bryan as a small forward. On the Imperial team's side, Wang Weiyu, who won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and even won the MVP of the regular season and finals last year.

The duel between these two is bound to attract everyone's attention, Wang Weiyu himself said; "Otard is the best player on the planet at putting the ball in the basket and it's exciting to play against him."

This year is the fourth year of Otard's career, and he jumped out of his contract in the summer to sign a five-year, $153 million cap salary with the Celtics. After a summer of hard work, he came out stronger. Otard was anxious to show the world what he was capable of.

didn't wait for Wang Weiyu and Otard to play, and the people who stole the show came. Jing Qi won the jump ball, got the ball at the top of the arc, dribbled to the basket and made a foul.

The basketball was out of his hand, jumped a few times off the basket, and fell inside.

"Nice break! Jing's finishing ability under the basket is stronger than last year! And his body is stronger, if Merris is the top three inside line in the league, then I think Jing is the top five inside line in the league! ”

All Otard has to do is take the eyes back on the whole court, and he has the ability to do that. Many people have almost forgotten that he once cut 60 points on Wang Weiyu's head.

"You look more confident." Wang Weiyu said. "yes, I'm confident that I can score 70 points on you," Otard said. "I believe you have what it takes, and I believe that in the end you will lose, just like before." Wang Weiyu reminded Otard - you lost the game with 60 points on me.

Otard wasn't angry, "So I'm going to show that getting a high score can lead to a win." "You're not Michael Jordan, and scores and wins won't favor you." Wang Weiyu said.

"Of course I'm not Michael Jordan, because I'm going to surpass Michael Jordan!" Otard said with empty eyes. Within a few seconds of him dribbling, changing direction, and switching rhythms, Wang Weiyu was unable to defend and was shaken away by him.

Otard stepped on the three-point line and stepped out a meter, pulled up quickly, and hit a three-pointer.

"Hopefully you'll be able to make a decent comeback." Otard said. Wang Weiyu smiled faintly and said to Montgomery: "Before they press, you can control the ball." "Boss, don't you teach that kid a lesson?" Montgomery's eyes swept Otard as he spoke.

"There's no need for that." Wang Weiyu didn't even notice it himself, he was no longer aggressive. If Otard had been so provocative last year, he would have pulled up and fought him for a few rounds.

Now he doesn't even have the idea of responding to the ball, and he is bent on letting the game go naturally.

"Come on! I'm waiting for you, duel for God's sake! Otard muttered. Wang Weiyu looked at it and hit the earth and gave it to Merris. Otard sneered: "You softass! ”

Merris has developed the league's strongest low-post offense, and it's hard for anyone to stop him in the low post. Three strikes and five divisions by two, he devoured his opponent alive, and the Celtics had nothing to do with him.

The emperor team played so easily, Otard was extremely angry, he threw fire on Wang Weiyu's body, quickly changed the starting speed that exploded like a bomb, passed through Wang Weiyu in one step, took off under the basket, folded in the air to avoid Merris, and hooked the basket above the back of his head with his left hand.

"Huh!" When he returned to the defense, Otard glared at Wang Weiyu fiercely.

"Boss, this guy is too much!" Montgomery said, "Beat him up!" Wang Weiyu said: "There is no need for this. ”

Montgomery was stunned, I don't know if it was an illusion, Wang Weiyu gave him a strange feeling. It seems that the person wearing the No. 7 jersey is a substitute, not the Wang Weiyu who is known as the Emperor of Saravo.

"It's probably the first game, so I can't get motivated." That's all Montgomery can think of. Montgomery could never have imagined that Wang Weiyu had lost his enthusiasm for the game.

Otard is an absolute strong point, and no one in the Imperial team can solve him. On the contrary, the emperor team has three strong points, and Shuangta Jia did not let go of Wang Weiyu. When the Big Three are in full swing, Montgomery and other role players can take advantage of the opportunity.

It was another typical match in which Otard scored 50 points. Otard played well, shooting 21-of-30 from the field and making just five free throws in the game, finishing with 56 points, four assists and 14 rebounds. But the Celtics beat the Kings by 21 points.

"I don't have much to say, when we lose by 21 points, even if I get 100 points, it's just adding glory to the opponent." After the game, Otard said indifferently.

Unlike Otard, Wang Weiyu scored 10 points and 9 assists in the first stop. After the game, he was still the subject of media interviews.

"You didn't restrain Otard, what is the reason for your victory?"

"There's no team in this world that can handle Otard, and so are we, but we can handle the rest of the Celtics, so we won."

The reporter wanted to ask again, but Wang Weiyu hurriedly answered: "For other questions, please go and interview Merris and Jing Qi, they are the best in the audience, and I am just a supporting role." ”

People thought that Wang Weiyu was laughing at himself, but in fact, Wang Weiyu played a supporting role in many games this season.

What's the hottest topic about the Ultimate League in the new season? Did the Giants' star defender, Wiig Johnson, record a triple-double in six straight games? No.

Or Ortad Bryan, who averaged 41 points per game in the first month of the season? Neither is it.

It's Wang Weiyu. In games before 2021, Wang Weiyu averaged 18 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds per game. Compared to his previous two seasons, it was like falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. People really don't know how a superstar like him, who is young, on the rise, and has never suffered a major injury and has been training for a summer, has not advanced in the new season.

Compared to Wang Weiyu, two of his star teammates have played at the highest level of their careers. Merris Arnold is averaging 27 points, 12 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. Jing Qi averaged 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

"I don't know exactly what happened to W, but I would say it's the worst W I've ever seen. He's in the mood on the court, and although he looks like he's playing as hard as he can in every game, he always gives the impression that he doesn't care about the game. Chris Webb, who is recognized as a huge fan of Wang Weiyu, has come out to criticize.

Charles Barkley put it even more harshly: "As a player, you have to play as hard as you can when you get on the pitch. I don't doubt W's professionalism here, but I've been disgusted to watch him play lately, he doesn't work hard at all, he chooses to pass a lot of attacks that should be executed by him, he stands aside as a shooter for a lot of attacks that need him to lead, he has to remember that he is the leader of the Imperial team, and a leader has to lead the team,"

"Guys, I haven't seen a 'turn' this season. When the 'back' is no longer 'turning', W is no longer W. Shaq O'Neill commented.

The criticism of celebrities and the questions of fans finally have to be handed over to the omnipotent media to remember to interview Wang Weiyu: "W, can you talk to us about your recent performance?" ”

"I think it's okay." Wang Weiyu smiled. The reporter asked: "Judging from the data, compared with your previous two seasons, there has been a big decline, what have you experienced during this period?" ”

Wang Weiyu replied: "I have a clear conscience, and I do my best in every game. I also have two All-Star teammates, which means I don't have to play every ball, there's only one basketball in the game, and we have three people to attack, so I just choose to have the more efficient people do it. If I'm not playing well, then you can look up the stats of passing assists, and as far as I know, I should be at the top of the list. ”

This answer made the reporter speechless, even if he knew that Wang Weiyu had deviated from the question, the reporter still had no choice.

As if to fight back against public opinion, in the first month of 2021, Wang Weiyu's firepower finally returned to the level of the previous two seasons. In the game in January, Wang Weiyu averaged 30 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds per game, and people thought that Wang Weiyu had recovered.

"Very good, you, I, the W that the world knows is back." - Saravo People's Newspaper

The season is now in February 2021. Just when people thought that Wang Weiyu would continue to exert power, Wang Weiyu, who had no sense of existence during the game, returned again.

People don't want to say anything anymore because there are other superstars on the rise. When Wang Weiyu can't give them passion, they can only find someone else.

In addition to some celebrities paying attention to Wang Weiyu's expression, fans were basically taken away by the new generation of stars such as Otard, Wiig, Bender, and Aydin.

And the Imperial Team, in this star-studded season, sang all the way. Merris and Jing Qi form the strongest inside line in the league, who comes and who dies, can be strong in the low position, and can be fired in the high position, and the cooperation between the two is seamless.

More than half of the season, Wang Weiyu's data fluctuates greatly, and sometimes he is interested, and he has obtained all-round data of high scores, high assists and high rebounds in several consecutive games. Sometimes I lose interest, and it's a performance like 10+5+3 after a game.

In private, Herbert talked to Wang Weiyu many times and wanted to know the reason. Wang Weiyu said every time: "I have no problem. Coach, we've been winning. ”

couldn't ask from Wang Weiyu's mouth, Herbert could only find Qin Wei. Every time, Qin Wei said: "He's just not in the state, don't worry, he will adjust." "Yes, every time I adjusted, I adjusted a few times and it went back to the way it was.

Wang Weiyu's teammates found out about his problem, but no one raised it. Because Wang Weiyu's state is not to the point where the knife must be placed on the table to make it clear. With this performance, the Imperials still lead the league and are expected to win 70 games for three consecutive years.

There was a game that Qin Wei couldn't help it. In that game against the Lakers, Wang Weiyu was beaten by Simon, scoring only 9 points in the game, while Simon scored 23 points. If Simon scored 23 points in the past, Wang Weiyu might have gone for 50 points.

"What the hell are you doing? If you fight like this, you might as well retire! Qin Wei was angry at Wang Weiyu. Wang Weiyu said: "Don't be angry, be careful..." Just play the game! Qin Wei interrupted.

Wang Weiyu promised: "Don't be angry, I promise, I will play hard in every game in the future." "What if there was a next time?" Qin Wei asked. "There will never be a next time." For Qin Wei and the child in her belly, Wang Weiyu has to go all out to play the next game.

In the last 30 games of the season, Wang Weiyu played better and better, and people saw the style of the past again.

When playing the last game of the regular season, Wang Weiyu's average data per game was fixed at 23 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds.

Statistically, the scoring has slipped down, but the assists and rebounds have remained at the same level as the previous two seasons.

The Kings lead the league with 69 wins, and Merris is averaging 26 points, 13 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, making him the favorite for MVP in the regular season.

As for the playoffs, the Kings will face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. This is the first time in four years that the Kings have met the Lakers in the playoffs. (To be continued.) )
