Chapter 201: Three Pairs of Maniacs
On November 18, the Lakers hosted the Pistons, and the Pistons have changed a lot this season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Rashid Wallace and Iverson are gone, Big Ben is back, and getting Ben Gordon from the Bulls, it looks like the lineup isn't weakening.
In fact, it is not the case, Big Ben is nearing the end of his career, his form has declined, and his defense is not as good as before. Ben Gordon is the opposite, he is a very offensive shooting guard, but he has no defense.
And the departure of Rashid Wallace and Iverson has made the Pistons' offensive ability a lot weaker, and now the Pistons' offense in addition to Hamilton depends on Ronid Starkey, a rookie in '07.
There were a lot of good players in '07, but more often than not, they were role players. There are definitely no more than 10 '07 picks that can play as a starter now, which is very unlikely in the entire NBA.
There are 30 teams in the NBA, 150 starters, rookies and veterans are halved, and ten people a year is basically a normal draft year, and more than ten people is a draft year. This is not the mainstream way of judging, but it is the best way to judging.
The second-round show in 07 is still very good, Wu Di will not talk about it, this Starki and Marc Gasol will act as starters, and Karl Landri and Sun Yue will become important rotations.
There was already a gap between the Pistons' lineup and the Lakers, Wu Di's passing became more and more sophisticated, and Prince couldn't prevent Wu Di at all. Wu Di squeezed Prince, the Pistons couldn't defend at all, Big Ben defended it, Wu Di immediately passed the ball to the inside, Big Ben didn't defend it, Wu Di could shoot by himself.
And Big Ben has not only decreased his defensive ability on the defensive end, but also his rebounding ability. It's not easy for Big Ben to be able to jam Bynum with his strength, and then he is a beat slower to grab a defensive rebound.
This shot is crucial, Wu Di grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the first quarter, and seven frontcourt rebounds in the third quarter, and the number of rebounds doubled.
After three quarters, the Lakers had already switched to the bench to play. With 102 points in the third quarter, the strong strength of the Lakers has been seen at a glance, and Wu Di cut a triple-double in the third quarter, with 26 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds.
It's not unusual for Wu Di to have a triple-double, and it's not surprising that he even had a triple-double last season.
Surprisingly, in the next game, Wu Di seemed to have broken out, scoring three doubles every game.
Against the Bulls on the 20th, Wu Di scored 23 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.
On the 23rd, against the Thunder, 26 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
On the 25th, against the Knicks, he had 32 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds.
On the 29th, against the Warriors, 41 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds.
On the 30th, against the Nets, 20 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds.
With six consecutive triple-doubles, Wu Di shocked the whole United States. Anyone who can have multiple triple-doubles in a row is a one-time choice, and there are few players like this in NBA history.
In the second half of November, Wu Di's news accounted for most of the NBA's share, and as Wu Di's triple-double games continued, this share became more and more.
The best player in the West in November, Wu Di deserves it. Wu Di had seven triple-doubles in November, which accounted for exactly half of the Lakers' games.
Wu Di averaged 26.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.7 rebounds per game in November, in addition to 3.2 blocks and 3.4 steals, comprehensively crushing all players, has been at the top of the MVP list, as long as he performs well in the next few months, it is not impossible to win the regular season MVP.
Lakers fans were delighted with Wu Di's performance, and his fans added a big cut. The economic team also began to negotiate the sneaker contract, Wu Di's previous sneaker contract was signed in China, and there was no negotiation after it expired.
After the end of last season, the major sneaker companies sent people to negotiate. However, Wu Di was not satisfied with the price given, he could tolerate that his internal status was not as good as Kobe, but he couldn't bear that the endorsement contract was much lower than Kobe.
50 million in 7 years, this contract is less than half of Kobe's. Even the contract signed by Durant in 07 has 7 years and 70 million, if Wu Di signs this contract, doesn't it mean that he thinks he is inferior to Durant?
Although the draft is not as high as Durant, Wu Di shows no less potential than Durant, and even surpasses it. So Wu Di has been dragging his feet and not signing, and when Wu Di played six consecutive three pairs, the sneaker company immediately became anxious and began to raise the price for Wu Di.
After several negotiations, Wu Di finally got a 7-year contract of 70 million US dollars plus shares, signed Peak, and became the star of Peak.
Peak is a domestic brand, signing the first NBA star in '06, it was Sean Battier, and in '08 he signed Jason Kidd. In the same year, he signed Uncle Mu and Artest, and now he has signed Wu Di, and Peak has also captured a part of the market in the NBA.
There is still a gap between Peak's sneakers and a big American brand like Nike, but for Wu Di, it is enough. When Wu Di used to play, he wore Huili, and later wore serious sneakers when he became rich.
Wu Di didn't make too many demands on the sneakers, just need to fit the feet and be able to protect the ankles. As for what to increase the function of bounce is not needed at all, even the comfort is not very picky.
Such a requirement is still easy to meet for Peak, which has been making shoes for 20 years. The quality of Peak is also passable, and it can be said that it is at least much better than what it sells in China.
This is also some of the inferior roots of domestic merchants, and the quality of the leisurely supply to the international market. Of course, it may also have something to do with the Chinese people, and the way the Chinese people use things is also related.
By December, many people thought that Wu Di should have fallen back. But on the 2nd, against the Hornets, Wu Di once again got a triple-double, with 22 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds.
Some media have begun to exclaim that Wu Di wants to hit the triple-double record. The record for a triple-double in a single season in NBA history was set by Chamberlain in 31 games.
Now Wu Di has eight games, and 23 games are needed. There are still 65 games left, and according to Wu Di's current form, it is still easy to get 23 triple-doubles.
Of course, some media are not very optimistic about Wu Di's impact on this record, because Wu Di is not the Lakers' leading player now, and Kobe Bryant will not allow Wu Di to hold the ball for a long time.
But no one noticed that Kobe Bryant averaged no small number of points per game. In November, Kobe Bryant's average points per game reached 26.7 points, although it was slightly lower than last season, but it was not much lower, and the problem of ball possession was a tactic arranged by the Zen master, the Zen master wanted Wu Di to hold the ball, and Kobe Bryant also had to think about it before deciding whether to comply or not.
In any case, Wu Di has now shaken both sides of the ocean, and the reports of China and the United States are inseparable from Wu Di. This made Peak very happy, and they took advantage of this shareholder to quickly occupy the two markets in China and the United States, and the sales of sneakers continued to rise.
