Chapter 71: Seven Wins in a Row
Back in Houston, after Wu Di slept well, he began to prepare for the game against the Spurs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was a back-to-back, the first back-to-back of the season for the Rockets and the first back-to-back for Wu Di. It's just that Wu Di is not at all uncomfortable, his physical strength is still sufficient, there is no sense of exhaustion, and he is even very abundant.
The Rockets and Spurs have already played each other once in the preseason, and both teams are familiar with each other. The starting lineup of the Rockets remains unchanged, but in terms of starting lineups, the Rockets are not weaker than the Spurs.
The Spurs' starters are Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley, Parker.
Both sides are known for their defense, and both are officially known in the NBA. This starting lineup has an interior core, an outside core, a super defensive player, and two role players.
The Rockets are also an interior core, an outside core, a super defensive player, plus two role players. Even the Rockets' lineup is stronger than the Spurs, and the combination of Da Yao and Maddy is stronger than Duncan and Parker.
In fact, although the Spurs had Bruce Bowen as a superstar killer, the Rockets still led by two points in the first quarter at 21-19. It's a rare score in the NBA, and it's been a rare occurrence in the first quarter since the NBA focused more on offense, and it's good to have it once in a season.
Wu Di sat on the bench a little depressed, he became more and more confused about the coach's intentions, but he only had one idea, and that was to play. If you can't play, everything is a floating cloud, you can't get fame, you can't get money, you can't get data, you can't even get experience.
After the start of the second quarter, Wu Di still did not play. The Rockets weren't at a disadvantage, so Adelman didn't let Wu Di play, but sent Hayes.
Now Wu Di is competing with Hayes, Hyde and others for playing time, grabbing with Hayes at the position of small forward, and grabbing with Hyde at the position of scoring guard.
However, it seems that the sky is not beautiful today, and the Spurs' offense is a little weak, and the score has been behind the Rockets. It also gave Adelman an excuse not to let Wu Di play, and he didn't play five or six minutes until the fourth quarter. Although Wu Di easily mixed up the victory, he still couldn't be happy, he already felt Adelman's intentions.
What is it that keeps him from playing? Wu Di couldn't figure it out. Depressed, he went to the bar to drink after the game. The more I thought about it in the bar, the more depressed I became, and finally I almost got drunk, and finally left the bar with a man named Lucy.
In the middle of the night, Wu Di woke up from the hotel, shook his head with some pain, looked at the woman next to him, and couldn't help shaking his head. Chu Xue is about to give birth, and she is still looking for a woman outside.
Wu Di took out two thousand dollars and put it on the table, then got dressed and left the hotel, returning home. The three women and the nanny were already asleep, and Wu Di didn't disturb them, and when he returned to the bedroom, he lay down on the bed and continued to sleep.
On the 10th, the Rockets played against the Bucks at home, and the Chinese derby officially began. But it's a pity that Wu Di still didn't get a chance.
The lineups of the Bucks and Rockets are not at the same level at all, and the NBA's official gimmick to promote this game is also the Chinese derby between the UAE and Da Yao. But there is really no way for the Bucks and Rockets to compare, and Wu Di once again mixed up a win.
The Rockets have won six in a row, and the good start has given Rockets fans a hunch that the Rockets can successfully win the championship in a few years.
On the 12th, the Rockets played against the Hornets away, and the two teams once again played a defensive battle.
The Hornets have always been an offensive team, and they didn't expect to limit the Rockets' offense.
Wu Di got the opportunity to play this time, but it was indeed the most critical moment for the Rockets. Da Yao and Maddie lacked physical strength, and the other players were unfavorable in attack, so Adelman sent Wu Di on the field, hoping to rely on Wu Di to open up the situation.
Wu Di just came on the court to limit Peja's offense and relied on his strong physicality to impact the Hornets' interior line.
Originally, the Hornets were barely ahead, and the capable players were a little lacking in physical strength. was so shocked by Wu Di that he could no longer maintain his advantage.
The Rockets have won seven in a row, and at the same time, Wu Di has learned some of Adelman's ideas, and he doesn't want to reuse himself.
Wu Di is not a fool, he can't see it once, he can't see it twice, and he can't see it three or four times? He is now a firefighter, and Adelman only thinks of him in times of crisis.
This made Wu Di very depressed, and he still didn't know where he had offended Adelman. If he knew, he might be able to correct it, but Adelman didn't say that Wu Di couldn't realize it at all.
Wu Di doesn't want to stay in the Rockets anymore, he didn't come to the NBA just to make money, he came to complete the mission. According to Adelman's usage, he doesn't want to say that he has been playing for 20 years, that is, he will not get ahead in his life, let alone complete the task.
However, Wu Di couldn't leave either. He didn't want to be called a traitor.
The NBA is a business, and it's normal for a team's personnel to come and go. Because of this, the relationship between the player and the team is complicated. Some players have problems with their personalities, so they create rumors about the team; And some teams have problems and slander the players.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA, and there are countless players who have been denounced as traitors. You say that teams can't use players all the time, how can you ask players to play for only one team for the rest of their lives?
But sometimes, that's how it is, and it doesn't make sense. When a team does something wrong, it is often taken lightly, but when it comes to players, it is different, and it is already lenient if they do not go online.
This is all due to the fact that the players are exposed for a long time, and if there is a mistake, it will be infinitely magnified. After all, the team belongs to an organization, and the subjective consciousness cannot be defined in a person's body, and if you want to complain, you may not be able to find the main owner.
So Wu Di has to think of a way to leave Team Rocket without bearing the infamy.
But it's a matter of waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the Rockets to trade themselves. This opportunity is not easy to find, and we can only wait until Wu Di has a team that wants to exchange some players that the Rockets like. And for other teams to take a fancy to Wu Di, Wu Di still needs to perform better.
If you want to be better, Wu Di still needs playing time, which becomes an endless loop, so that Wu Di has no way to solve it, so he can only wait for the opportunity.
But the opportunity did not come, Wu Di waited for his first child first.
On the 14th, the Rockets played the Grizzlies away, and Wu Di took a leave of absence and returned to Houston, because Chu Xue gave birth on this day. By the time Wu Di arrived at the hospital, Chu Xue had already been pushed into the delivery room.
