Chapter 124: Buckling Chandler
Luke Wharton is no ordinary player, and the vast majority of his aura comes from his father, Hall of Fame center Bill Wharton. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Luke Wharton played basketball the best of any of Bill Wharton's kids. He can only play the position of small forward, and he is still a small forward on the inside.
Luke Walton's three-point shooting isn't great, hitting as many as four three-pointers in a game in his career. This is also the reason why the Zen master plans to let Sun Yue replace Wu Di, because Luke Wharton can't help Kobe Bryant open up space very well.
But Sun Yue can, when Sun Yue was first drafted, he was positioned as a 3D player, and after training with Wu Di, Sun Yue's three-point level is already very good, enough to catch up with Battier's level.
And Wu Di also trained Sun Yue's anti-interference shooting ability, if it comes to a moment of crisis, Sun Yue will definitely dare to shoot, which makes his role much greater than before. A player who dares to make a move at a critical moment has a big heart, and as long as the skill is passed, he is an indispensable member of a team.
Of course, Sun Yue still needs to experience, although his game experience is enough, but he has not yet adapted to the NBA. No, Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Sun Yue, Sun Yue was a step slower, and the ball was almost not caught. By the time Sun Yue grabbed the ball, the location and form were not as good as just now, and he could only pass the ball back.
"He's going to need a little bit of time to get used to the NBA!" Wu Di said to the Zen master: "The defense is not a big problem, but the offense still needs to be strengthened, especially with the cooperation of his teammates, he still needs a little time."
The Zen master nodded, "I'll let my teammates practice with him, but Wu, you have to ask him to pay attention to his teammates, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA." ”
"I know!" Wu Di admitted that he couldn't say anything else, because before he was on the injury list, Sun Yue could only practice with his teammates when the team was in Los Angeles, otherwise he could only contact himself, what tacit understanding could he cultivate!
But now, it's good that there are exactly thirteen people in the team, and there is no need for an injury list. In this way, Sun Yue can play with the team, and they are all together during training, and the tacit understanding improves quickly.
It's just that today's Zen master substitution was too abrupt, and even Wu Di was a little surprised, he regarded Sun Yue as a genius player. You must know that Wu Di has only been activated from the injury list for a few days, and he only played one game, so he dared to adjust to the first quarter to substitute Wu Di, which is somewhat suspicious of the seedlings.
Soon, the first quarter was over, and Sun Yue came down a little gloomily. Although he also scored three points during the period he came off the bench, he took two mistakes, which made him very depressed, and the good mood of scoring was diluted.
Wu Di didn't comfort him, everything has to experience some setbacks. Wu Di was stunned for a season in the Rockets, and he didn't find anyone to comfort him. Appropriate setbacks will make people improve, as long as Sun Yue is not beaten and doesn't want to play, it's fine.
Wu Di played alongside Pekovic, newcomers Brad Miller, Vujacic and Jordan Famar.
Five up and five down, which was not in the first few games. However, this substitution has established Wu Di's position as the core of the field, and also solved the drawbacks of wasting firepower in the starting lineup.
Wu Di, who left the game early in the first quarter, has already recuperated and is sharp, and as soon as he played, he gave the Hornets an unforgettable lesson.
Wu Di took the ball from Famar and immediately squeezed Peja away and went inside. Chandler immediately came over to make up for the defense, but he was afraid that Wu Di would pass the ball to Pekovic behind him, so he slowed down. As a result, he didn't expect Wu Di to pass the ball, and jumped directly from the free throw line, ready to dunk.
Chandler didn't stand firm, and he didn't dare to stand firm, with Wu Di's ability to dunk dunk, if he dared to stand firm, he would definitely become a background board.
Dodging was not Chandler's style, he jumped up and slammed the ball into Wu Di's hand.
Wu Di withdrew his hand in the air, snatched Chandler's block, and then reached out again to reach over Chandler's head and press it hard into the basket.
The two collided hard in the air, but because Wu Di was holding the basket in his hand, Chandler didn't hit Wu Di and was knocked to the ground by Wu Di.
Chandler subconsciously lay down, first with his butt on the ground, and then slid hard on the floor. When he stopped, a pair of feet passed in front of his eyes, and when Chandler looked up, he saw Wu Di still hanging from the basket and looking at him.
Wu Di looked at Chandler below and said, "You stand up!" I'm going to get better! ”
Chandler's face was ugly, his body was under Wu Di, and if he didn't move Wu Di, he couldn't get down at all. Although the NBA has rules that do not hold on to the basket after the dunk is finished, it is ruled out that there are people at their feet, and players can not come down, so as not to sprain their feet.
Chandler didn't dare to stay on the ground for long, he was in a disadvantageous situation now, and he got up before the reporters over there took a few pictures, otherwise the newspapers all over the country might report on his detention.
Chandler had even thought of a headline tomorrow, China's Wu Jun was in the world, and Chandler was killed.
With a deep curse, Chandler got up and walked away from the basket. He is not a child anymore, if he was impulsive before, he would definitely push Wu Di to vent his anger.
But Wu Di's muscles, which are more developed than those of black people, tell everyone, don't mess with me, otherwise you will look good. There is even a rumor in the NBA that Chinese Wu really knows Chinese kung fu.
Wu Di received a lot of boos from Hornets fans, but there were not too many people watching this game, and the boos were inevitably much weaker than elsewhere.
The Hornets players also have some fire, but the Lakers players on the court are good defensively. Pekovic has a good set of defensive singles, and Chandler is not an offensive player, and it is impossible to play Pekovic alone.
Miller Sr. has a lot of experience defensively, and David West will have a hard time trying to force him. Although Vujacic is not very physical, he is very good at defense, especially the small movements are very dark, so that Butler has no good way to do it for a while. And Peja faced Wu Di and withered shamefully.
Paul had to come by himself, but Famar was not Fisher, Famar was very tall and could prevent Paul from shooting, and the speed of Famar was very fast, and it was difficult for Paul to break through him.
didn't score even after playing two Wasps, but was hit by Wu Di twice on the inside, and once again opened the score.
Morale is like this, one blow up, then decline, three and exhaustion. The Hornets finally managed to accumulate some morale, but they were worn out by two defenses, and even if they scored again in the third round, it would be difficult to save their morale.
