Chapter 32: "Contemporary Jordan" VS "China Jordan"

Jan. 9, 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

Ding Wei was warming up, and he glanced at the crowd in the stands without a glance, in the end, it is a relatively large city, there are many people, and there are many Chinese faces with the same skin color as him, after all, when he was just born, he already had a TV series that was a household name at the time, called "Beijingers in New York".

The Nets have had a better season than their brother Knicks, with a 16-19 record and barely being able to make the playoffs in the East, while the latter has only won five of the 39 games that have ended, and with the 76ers going 2-3 in the West, returning home and beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the absence of LeBron James at the last minute, they finally took the lead in the competition for the league's vice president. Of course, Ding Wei feels that this kind of competition is still as far away as possible.

"Hello, Ding, I'm Joe Johnson."

Ding Wei looked back and was happy, isn't this a contemporary Jordan?

Joe Johnson, born in Arkansas, 1981, was drafted by the Celtics with the 10th pick in the first round in 2001, and was traded to the Suns in the second season, becoming an indispensable part of the Suns' fast-playing whirlwind system, and also played his own style and fame, after being traded to the Atlanta Hawks in the 05-06 season, he quickly became a star, and in the 06-07 season, he played a comprehensive data close to 25+5+5, and now he came to Brooklyn at the end of his career. Joining Kevin Garnett, Paul Pearce, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez, they are ready to make a final push for the championship, but for now, the hopes are slim. Ding Wei's current teammate Andrei Kirilenko was also a member of this team, although Ding Wei has not seen this senior so far, but AK47's peak is comparable to the slot machine god "5+5+5+5" performance is not covered, for this former teammate who was nicknamed "modern Jordan" in Hu Po, he has this evaluation:

'He's there when the team needs it.'

"Hello, Mr. Johnson." Ding Wei hurriedly went up to shake hands with Joe Johnson.

"You can call me Joe, or man," Joe Johnson patted Ding Wei on the shoulder, "I watched your game footage, all of it." ”

"Oh?" Ding Wei seemed very flattered, it was the first time someone had said such things to him.

"You're really good, but as a veteran today, I hope to teach you a lesson." There was no provocation in Joe Johnson's gaze, and he really regarded Ding Wei as an opponent.

"Please advise." Ding Wei's expression also became solemn, and he hugged his fist at Joe Johnson, and returned a very Chinese style boxing salute firmly.

"Hehe, it's a good move, hopefully I'll be able to use it at the end of the game." Joe Johnson smiled and imitated Ding Wei's movements, as a veteran, he can best understand the weight of the word "relaxation", compared to Ding Wei's performance is a bit stereotyped, many times, even for things that you care about, you have to have a relaxed attitude and work hard.

"As long as the team needs it, he will step up......" Ding Wei looked at Joe Johnson's brisk back and secretly made up his mind.

"I can do that, too."

……

On the other side of the ocean on the other side of the earth, it is 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, during this time period office workers are still sleeping in the cage, but there are already many fans who have gotten up and followed the game in front of the TV, computer and even mobile phones, since Ding Wei was born in the NBA, in just 6 games, he has captured the hearts of the majority of fans with his outstanding performance, the most of which are naturally Chinese fans, and CCTV's commentator Yoga is one of them.

"The 76ers have 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 games, which is not the same as their sluggish performance at the beginning of the season, and Ding Wei has played a huge role, which may not be reflected in the data, and his highest score in 5 games is only 15 points, but every time he plays, he can change the momentum of the 76ers, which is not something that a rookie can easily do, let alone as a Chinese."

Yoga talked eloquently in front of the big screen, obviously very excited that Ding Wei could appear today.

Yangyi's face was also filled with a signature smile: "I agree with a word you mentioned just now, that is, momentum, and this momentum is what our current domestic players lack, but among the older generation of players, there are many people with this kind of momentum, such as Liu Yudong, the god of war, Sun Jun, the tiger king, of course, I can't fail to mention that it is China's Jordan Hu Weidong, in my impression, many games of the Jiangsu Dragons are hanging by a thread, and they are rescued by Hu Weidong alone, and even foreign aid is not good. And Ding Wei just has this ability and momentum to stand up in a critical moment, if this momentum can be brought to the national team, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it, haha. ”

"Just now I went to the ESPN website to check the latest physical test data released by the 76ers," Yoga, who stood out in the CCTV host competition, has always been known for his passionate tone and quick response, although many people are hacking him on the Internet, but it cannot be denied that he has the ability to create an atmosphere and adapt to changes in the game, and this time he came up with a fierce material in time," Ding Wei's data is, The height is 1.98m, the weight is 95kg, and the height of the running can reach 3.65m, these data are surprisingly similar to Hu Weidong at his peak. "It is worthy of being the emperor of data, and the truth is unexpected.

"We'll talk more about this later, and now that the game has begun, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides...... "He reminded his partner in a timely manner, and he has some experience in both the commentator and guest positions, and he is also comfortable handling this kind of problem.

"Ding, I can put you on the court at any time in this game, so always focus on the game." Although Ding Wei is more assured, Coach Brown still seriously advised, after all, even the Nets in the absence of Deron Williams are not a team that the current 76ers can easily win, and the ages of the opposing players together are probably more than 100 years older than the 76ers.

"I know, coach." Ding Wei put on a paralyzed face.

"Heh," Coach Brown was amused by Ding Wei's expression, obviously he was a very serious guy in his bones, so he had to pretend that it didn't matter, "In addition, I have already said that you will not call me coach in the future." ”

"Yes, sir." Ding Wei is a primary school student.

Coach Brown smiled and shook his head, returning his attention to the playing field.

Due to the absence of Delon and Garnett, the Nets' starting lineup today is also extraordinarily strange, in addition to Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez, the two main forces that cannot be beaten, the point guard is a Jarrett Jack god who can get rid of a starter in every team, the big forward is Mason Plumlee, who was born in a basketball family and graduated from the prestigious school Duke, Duke's players can really eat anywhere, and the small forward is Karasev from St. Petersburg, as the descendant of Nets owner Prokhorov, He has nearly half of the starters in his few appearances, although this start does not mean that there is enough playing time, but it can also be seen that this is a person with a godfather, who can only score 4 points and 2 boards in an average of nearly 17 minutes of playing time per game, and he is even more lackluster on the defensive end, and immediately became the main target of the 76ers.

"Hey! Hey! Top dog! Give me the ball! Give me the ball! Robert Covington was extremely excited as soon as he came on the court, and he was 2.06m tall in the face of Karasev, who was 5 cm shorter than him, and he was able to break through or shoot well, so although he was a scoring guard, he often switched positions with Luke Bamot, who played at the small forward position, bypassing the black and hard Joe Johnson, and specifically bullied the "little white" in front of him, and he had scored 3 goals in a row in less than 2 minutes.

Coach Leonel Hollins quickly realized this problem, or in fact, this problem does not need to be realized at all, it is on the surface, but under the pressure of the management, he has to give this player who he does not like at all more playing time, so for the current situation, he can only endure it.

"You can't count on defense, it's up to you on offense, Joe." Coach Hollins said it over and over in his heart, as if in prayer.

Perhaps it was Hollins' prayers that really worked, and in the next 2 minutes Joe Johnson quickly took over the ball, opening up the situation for the Nets on the offensive end with his breakthrough and long-range shots, and on the defensive end, he was also trying his best to disrupt the 76ers' blocking rhythm through running and helping defense, and in the blink of an eye, the 76ers' small advantage of 6 points had been wiped out in the "2+1" caused by his two three-pointers and a feint break to the basket, 18-21, and the 76ers had fallen behind by 3 points.

"Boss, is it ......" Seeing that the situation was not good, Ding Wei was about to stand up and ask to play, but was pulled back to his seat by Coach Brown.

"Give me a good eye on Joe Johnson and see his every move." Coach Brown said lightly.

"Yes, sir." Ding replied reflexively, his attention quickly returning to the game.

Coach Brown nodded, took a deep breath, and faced such an opponent who could quickly adjust, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

With Luke Bamot's deflected shot in the arms of Brook Lopez, the Nets fought back again, and they didn't fight back very quickly, after all, only Joe Johnson was a bit of a flyer when he was younger, and he wasn't young anymore.

Just when everyone thought that this attack would fall into a dull positional battle, Joe Johnson, who was holding the ball, suddenly made a breakthrough move at this moment, his movement speed was not very fast, his slender arms rose high with the rhythm of the dribble, making him look like a giant eagle about to dive down, just as Robert Covington lowered his center of gravity and slid to follow his breakthrough route, his dribbler suddenly and quickly retracted to his chest, In front of Covington's stumbling follow-up, a heavyweight pull-up jump shot was not impressive, but it was more pleasing to the eye.

"Huh!" The crunch of the basketball passing through the net is extremely pleasant, like a flowing stream.

"A quiet fighter, but he can always stab a deadly sword." Yoga in the CCTV studio said with emotion, unlike the fans who reacted lightly at the scene, he didn't know how many games he had watched, and he could more or less feel the connotation of this goal.

On the bench of the 76ers, Ding Wei, who was also quiet, slowly stood up and silently started warming up on the sidelines.

"Ding! Special Skill Quest Trigger, Difficulty: Starter Level; Content: Help the team win this game and be higher than Joe Johnson in at least one of the three stats of points, rebounds, and assists; Completion Reward: Joe Johnson's special move 'Hawkeye' template, Failure Penalty: All Power Points in your account (including those obtained in this game) will be deducted. ”

"Is it another mission...... Then it's even more necessary to beat you. After listening to the explanation of the mission, Ding Wei was not too surprised, he quietly watched Joe Johnson on the field, even if he was about to be replaced, he was still seizing all the time to understand his opponent.

"'Contemporary Jordan' is in full swing, and it seems that our 'Chinese Jordan' must also make its debut." Yang Yi looked at Ding Wei's focused expression in front of the camera and said thoughtfully.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm looking forward to it."

In the studio, there was a sudden silence.
