On October 10, the NBA preseason began, and Wu Di finally met the long-famous Maddie, but Maddie's appearance disappointed Wu Di. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Maddie still has a skill, she is now too injured to train too hard. So Maddie's training attitude is very poor, if this is still the case, it is conceivable that Maddie can only eat the old book. After the old Ben is finished, it will be difficult for Maddie to gain a foothold in the NBA.

However, the current Maddie is still the number one superstar of the Rockets, far more famous than Da Yao in the United States, and still has a higher status than Da Yao in the team. Just look at Maddie's annual salary, 19.01 million US dollars, more than 5 million more than Da Yao. And Maddie's contract still has two years left, and Wu Di is very skeptical that Maddie can maintain his current level in the next two years.

In the Rockets' first preseason game against the Hornets, Wu Di met the famous Paul for the first time. Since Wu Di's height is now more than two meters, the Rockets did not let Wu Di play point guard again, but changed to point guard. However, after playing point guard for a year, Wu Di knows a lot about the point guards of NBA teams, and admires Paul's passing skills very much.

Wu Di sat on the sidelines, constantly watching Paul's handling of the ball. I can't say it, Paul's overall view is really good, although Wu Di understands it, but he can be sure that he can't do it at all, maybe the situation can be better after upgrading Chen Gong's horn plan.

The Rockets' starters are Da Yao, Hayes, Battier, Maddy, Alston. Uncle Mu is Yao Ming's replacement, and Stella has just signed to the Rockets this year, so coach Adelman put veteran Hayes in the starting lineup.

New signings this year, Brooks, Landry and Wu Di are also on the bench now. Brooks was drafted by the Rockets with the 26th pick, while Landry was the 31st pick, and the Rockets drafted Landry with a draft pick from the SuperSonics trade.

On the bench, there are also some quality players, such as Novak, Wells, Rutherhead, Mike James and others.

The preseason was mainly about training and scouting rookies, so Adelman began to make substitutions in the second quarter, with Scola, Landry, and Brooks all getting their chances. Wu Di was still on the bench, but he was not in a hurry, he was sure that he would be able to play.

Indeed, when Wu Di trained in the team, he had already left a deep impression on Adelman.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Wu Di was sent up, and Da Yao, Scola, Battier and Brooks were on the court at the same time. Wu Di played the shooting guard, he started to run, and soon ran out of the open space. But unfortunately, Brooks didn't pass the ball to him, but chose to shoot himself.

Wu Di shook his head slightly, these point guards of the Rockets are really not very good to be honest, whether it is Alston or Brooks, they are all scoring point guards, as long as they have the opportunity, they will shoot by themselves, and they don't want to pass the ball at all. Such a point guard seriously restricts the development of other players, but fortunately, the Rockets' players are basically in the hands of Maddy. But now that Maddie wasn't there, she cried with the other players.

Brooks' shot didn't go in, and the rebound was snatched by Da Yao. However, Da Yao didn't have a chance to attack, Chandler blocked Da Yao in the past, and Da Yao could only pass the ball out. It happened that Wu Di was in an empty position, and Da Yao threw the ball directly at Wu Di.

The ball was a bit high, but Wu Di jumped up directly and caught the ball. After Wu Di landed, Rasol Butler, who was defending Wu Di, had already posted it. Wu Di probed for a moment and found that Butler was not as strong as his own, so he immediately squeezed past him, and then re-entered the Wasps' inner line.

The Hornets immediately defended inside, and Wu Di immediately jumped up and wanted to shoot. Chandler immediately gave up Da Yao to come over to make up for the defense, Wu Di collected the ball and returned the ball to Da Yao, who pressed the ball into the basket as soon as Da Yao turned around after receiving the ball.

Wu Di and Da Yao exchanged punches, and immediately ran back to defend.

Adelman nodded immediately after taking a look at the cooperation between the two. As far as he knows, this is the first time that Wu Di and Da Yao have played a regular match together, looking at the cooperation between the two, it is not an ordinary tacit understanding, this is the benefit from a place, they have similar habits.

Back in the backcourt, the Hornets were already on the attack, guard Bobby Jackson missed a shot, and the basketball thought of Wu Di and Butler flying over. Wu Di's steady card owner Butler grabbed the basketball in his hand, then turned around and squeezed Butler behind him, and then rushed to the front court like a fly.

Jackson quickly came over to make up for the defense, but as soon as he bumped into Wu Di, he was bounced to the side, and then Wu Di rushed past him. It was too late for Jackson to keep up, so he could only watch Wu Di dunk and score.

Adelman's eyes lit up immediately, and he had already seen the figure of LeBron James from Wu Di's body. It seems that the physical test data of the official training camp is real, and Wu Di really has the physical fitness that can be comparable to that of the little emperor in his rookie season. It seems that this year's Rockets have picked up treasures, and the same was true of Landry before.

Landry was the same before, he was originally in the lottery area, but there was no team selection until the second round. Rocket manager Morey decisively bought the supersonic draft pick and signed Landry. And Wu Di is also a gamble of Morey, originally Morey wanted to think about the Australian player Newly, but because of Da Yao's relationship, Morey changed his mind and decided to give Wu Di a chance.

Because Da Yao told him that Wu Di not only has good physical fitness, but also shoots accurately, he is only rough because of the short time he has been learning basketball.

As soon as he got on the court, Wu Di gave the rocket a surprise. Wu Di is very good at cooperating with his teammates, and more importantly, he knows how to share the ball. He and Da Yao have good chemistry, and the blocking and dismantling that Da Yao and Maddie didn't play very well before was beaten out by Wu Di. Wu Di and Da Yao's blocking and dismantling turned out to be unstoppable by the Wasps, whether it was Wu Di hitting the inside line or Da Yao shooting on the outside, the two would take care of each other.

After Da Yao misses the shot, Wu Di will immediately go up to grab the rebound. After Wu Di couldn't attack, Da Yao would also answer in the back.

In the third quarter, it turned into an offensive frenzy for the Rockets, and although their offensive rhythm was slow, it didn't take long. Wu Di and Da Yao's pick-and-roll can complete the attack in three to five seconds. Adelman was also happy to see it happen, and he deliberately moved Wu Di to the point guard position to try this new combination. As long as the new formation is completed, Adelman can have more options, and it doesn't have to be Da Yao and Maddie to cooperate.
