Although the upcoming Western Conference five consecutive visitors (Trail Blazers, Jazz, Warriors, Suns, Clippers) are not easy, the visiting team locker room at the Rose Garden Arena is still full of laughter and laughter of the 76ers boys, it seems that they have spent a fulfilling and meaningful Christmas holiday like themselves, although the connotation may be very different, which can be seen from the performance of a few players on the team during training, and even Ding Wei is a little absent-minded, after all, in this Christmas, There were a lot of strange things happening to him, too, and while it might not be as exciting as his teammates, it was enough to make him sleepwalk on the training ground from time to time. Coach Brown saw all of this, and although he was ready to go home, he still worried about this young team full of his hard work.

Sure enough, as Coach Brown expected, this relaxed atmosphere lasted less than two hours before it was torn apart by the stormy attack of the opponent. In the first three quarters, relying on the backcourt duo of McCarvey and Rotten, the 76ers were still able to keep the difference at about 10 points, but when the 76ers relied on Rotten's fast break in the middle of the fourth quarter to close the score to 86-98, Portland's backcourt coach Damian Lillard suddenly stepped up to take over the game.

Ding Wei was silent on the sidelines, when Wesley Matthews shot the second three-pointer of the game in his head, the unbearable Coach Brown finally replaced him, and his statistics for this game were finally fixed on 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers, 1 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, at this time his mood was as cold as his hand.

Looking at the home team that had opened a 20-point gap in the center of the arena and trampling on the defense of his teammates, Ding Weicai suddenly found that he still thought about the NBA too simply. Although he can almost completely block the All-Star Flash in a game, and can also beat the legendary Dr. J in a street bullfight, the former has just returned from injury, and the latter is over the age of six, and their form may not even reach 50% of their peak, so when Ding Wei with such a mentality and the West's powerhouse starter Wesley Matthews, he was undoubtedly completely blown up by this somewhat taciturn opponent, 25 points, 7-of-14 3-pointers, Let Ding Wei fully realize the gap between him and his opponent.

"Seeing Ding's expression, I think you don't have to guess the outcome of this game to know." The ABC TV announcer announced the end of the game in a deep tone, and Ding Wei on the screen stared blankly at the electronic scoreboard hanging above the arena, the score of 93-114 was congealing into two dark red blood clots in his eyes.

“Damn！” At the final whistle, Nolens Knoll slammed his fist on a billboard on the side of the court, venting his frustration in what he had originally envisioned as a show in which he would dominate the restricted area, but was grabbed 17 rebounds by Joel Forryland, a white center who replaced the team's main player LaMarcus Aldridge, who averaged only 4 rebounds per game in his season. And his own performance of 8 points and 7 rebounds in 28 minutes was not even as good as teammate Henry Sims, who only played 15 minutes.

Ding Wei patted him lightly on the shoulder, this big man who was a year younger than him was at least not like some of his teammates, who was able to talk and laugh on the bench after losing, and although the team's management had made up their minds to carry it out to the end, deep down he still couldn't accept spending his first season in the NBA like this, even as he was at the end of the bench now.

……

However, the scene on the sidelines was repeated two days later in the visiting locker room at the Energy Solutions Arena, this time with Nolens Knoll slamming his fist on the iron door of the locker closet, and the sound of his fist banging mixed with the creaking of the cabinet door was incessant, making the whole locker room irritating.

"Nolens, you need to calm down now." Ding Wei grabbed Noel's wrist and didn't let him continue to abuse himself like this.

"How the fuck am I calm? Those two guys actually grabbed 25 rebounds on my head! Noel flicked his arm, and Ding Wei, who was caught off guard, was thrown off and sat on the floor, "Damn Favors and Turkish boys!" ”

With the eastward tour of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, the Jazz's new two-tower combination on the inside is gradually taking shape, Derrick Favors and Inns Kanter, it is their two excellent rebounding protection on the inside, allowing the Jazz to drag the game into a slow-paced positional battle, although Nolens Knoll has performed well relative to his average in this game, but still can't shake the opponent's iron wall, 71-88, after taking a 9-2 lead in the first quarter, They no longer let the 76ers see the slightest hope of a reversal, a dull to the extreme, and a completely depressed defeat.

"But Nolens ......" Ding Wei, who hurriedly got up from the ground, still did not give up his persuasion, his performance of 4 points and 1 assist in this game was not too eye-catching, but at least he did not fall behind in the one-on-one with the opponent's two starters, Gordon Hayward and Trey Burke, and even once prevented Burke from feeling nothing, although he still lost the game in the end, his mood was not as depressed as the last game.

“Shutup！ OK？ Nolens-Knoll suddenly raised his elbows and pressed Ding Wei, who had just risen, on the locker, his eyes were red and his nostrils were puffing like a bull, "Stay away from me from now on, I don't want to say it a second time." ”

Ding Wei sighed, raised his hands and put the arm on his chest, with the "deep sea", he naturally knows the real cause of defeat in this game better than others, the current state of the 76ers is not too much to describe as a loose sand, when playing downwind, they can barely work together, but when the score is behind, they will almost inevitably fall into the dilemma of fighting separately, most people do not focus on how to win the game, but think about how to brush up on better data, and then escape from this ghost place, And the substitute players who don't have the opportunity to brush the data for the time being want to win more time to brush the data through better performance, and then brush up on the better data, and then escape from this hellish place, they don't have a team in their hearts, only themselves. This is evident from the fact that Knoll slammed on the door in the locker room for two minutes without anyone standing up to speak, and even snickering in the corner.

Ding Wei straightened his shirt and looked coldly at the people sitting or lying in the locker room, and wherever he looked, they either twisted their heads away, or began to pretend to be indifferent to their teammates, or simply chose to ignore them. He snorted coldly from his nose, turned his head and walked towards the dressing room, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around, stared straight at Norris Knoll who was standing alone in the middle of the locker room, and said seriously:

"In the next game, we will definitely win." With that, his figure shook at the door of the locker room and disappeared.

"A rookie who is not ashamed...... Who does he think he is, Michael? The team's starting quarterback Jakar Sampson pouted, he only played 21 minutes in the first game, scoring only 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, and Ding Wei took up most of his playing time, speaking of which he was the most unhappy in this game. He muttered obscenities and was about to pick up his backpack and walk out of the locker room door, when he was stopped by a tall figure.

"From now on, if you say it again, I'll beat you, I don't want to say it a second time." Nolens-Knoll looked down at him condescendingly, his bloodshot eyes bulging out of their sockets.

Sampson glared at the big man in front of him, trying to scare away the big man in front of him, but in the end he was defeated by Knoll's murderous gaze, Knoll looked at his fleeing back, and snorted contemptuously, and the disgust that Shi Cai was holding on to his chest also subsided a lot, and he even became a little complacent about his deterrent.

"Nolens," Michael Carter-Williams took off the headphones he was putting on his head, "don't be so naïve in the future, I don't want to say it a second time." ”

"Yes, Boss!"
