Chapter 53: Opponent?

As soon as the party was over, Ding Wei took the ferry back to Manhattan, where he would catch the last bus back to Philadelphia for tomorrow's training.

Perhaps sensing that the other time was approaching, when the magnificent Statue of Liberty appeared in front of the two of them again in front of the sunset, Ding Wei suddenly found that Elle, who was still chattering in his ear, suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?"

"When the ship gets to shore, we'll have to go back to the cage." Elle gently stroked her forehead hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze, and her two large aqua blue eyes became deeper against the setting sun.

"It's going to end, and your agent can't care about you for a lifetime," Ding Wei smiled, in the past, he would only witness the faces of these stars on the big screen who were elegant, noble, cold-blooded, or honest, but at this kind of gathering in a small circle, he felt a completely different side of them (her), saying that they are stars, but in fact, everyone is still an ordinary person in their bones, "Besides, even if you can usually be locked in a cage like this, what about when filming, when receiving notices?" ”

"Yes, I can film?!" When it came to filming, Elle suddenly became excited, "Now I have several scripts on hand, and I'm planning to push them all down, so it seems that I can study them carefully." ”

"If it's really too bad, forget it...... I don't want to see you scolded online. ”

"You're stupid to me!" Ellie smashed a chestnut on Ding Wei's head, and then changed to a harmless expression and smiled, "Or so, I'll send you the script by email, and you can help me read it?" ”

"Okay, but to be honest, I don't know anything about movies, so don't get your hopes up." Ding Wei rubbed his sore head and explained, this little girl is not small.

"Hee-hee, it's good if you agree." Ellie's eyes rolled twice, avoiding Ding Wei's puzzled gaze and seriously admiring the scenery under the sunset.

The air is so good.

……

Like Elle Fanning, Ding Wei, who returned to Philadelphia, also had something he had to face, and that was game after game.

Back at home, the 76ers continued their back-to-back journey, this period of their schedule is very similar to half a month ago, in addition to flying to Memphis to face the Grizzlies led by Gasol Jr. and Randolph, the Raptors, Pelicans, and Pistons have played once half a month ago, and in four games, the 76ers' performance is still remarkable, McCarvey unexpectedly retreated into the background after scoring the team's highest score in five consecutive games, and took on the role of team commander, The 76ers began to make a presence in assists, and as he continued to climb the assist rankings, the 76ers finally got good results in these four games, improving their winning streak to 14 games with a 2-2 record, and one more win will overtake the Magic, who have been in a slump recently, to jump to the bottom of the East.

From a playoff perspective, such a result doesn't change anything in essence, but anyone with a modicum of brains can interpret the message from their January record that the 76ers' goals this season are more than just messing around.

And it is precisely with this idea that 76ers fans are now very entangled, on the one hand, they are surprised by the team's recent performance, and on the other hand, they regret that this performance came too late, but fortunately, compared to the previous half-dead state, they at least do not have to worry about their team season ticket will become a waste of paper - at the beginning of the 76ers season to play an astonishing 17-game losing streak, the attendance of the Wells Fargo Center Arena once reached the point of crowding, even the visiting fans were embarrassed, He didn't even bother to come here to watch his home team stage a one-sided slaughter.

Compared to the fans, the struggles of the 76ers management are more realistic. Thinking rationally, since the 76ers can't make much improvement this season, it is better to put it in the end, and now they have fallen to fifth place in the league's bad team list, the Knicks and Magic in the East, and the Timberwolves of the Lakers in the West have a worse record than them, which also makes them greatly less likely to win the top three in the draft in June this year, and 2016 is the draft year expected by experts; But the team's current upswing has also made them aware of another problem: even if they can get their own rebuilding cornerstone through the draft, if the team continues to be in the early stages of the season, can that cornerstone really make a qualitative change to the team? Basketball isn't just a game that can be played by stacking up a bunch of All-Stars.

Ding Wei didn't know what kind of idea the team's owner and general manager were thinking, even if he knew, it was estimated that he would only leave a sentence of "it's about me" and continue to train and play. In these games, his performance has been quite good, although all the stats have declined, but he does not feel that this means that his ball skills and body have regressed, whether it is in the completion of the training plan or in the stats reflected in the stats panel, this is not at all visible, at this time he is sprinting towards the goal of obtaining the first superstar skill pack, full sprint.

Another eye-catching player for the 76ers recently is Hollis Thompson, who is usually honest and inconspicuous, and finally won a place in the 76ers' rotation lineup, with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in four games, Coach Brett Brown can rest assured that he will continue to hold Jakar Sampson on the bench, who is not only getting worse and worse, but also arriving late and leaving early from time to time. The only thing that makes Coach Brown feel good is that this guy is finally out of trouble on the team, and he knows he can't afford to mess with him now.

"Hey, guys! This is my first headline! The first! Hollis Thompson danced between his group of friends, and it was with his 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left that the 76ers completed a double kill against the Pistons at home, the first time this season they had won two straight games against the same team.

"Got it, you said it was the 231st time...... Tony Rotten took out a small notebook and added another stroke to the dense "positive" word on it, it seems that he said that he wanted to learn Chinese seriously. With Ding Wei's help, his progress has been rapid, and he has quickly improved to the level of the first grade of primary school.

"I really doubt which of you two is a rookie right now." Nolens Noll hugged his arms and watched Thompson jump up and down like a monkey, he is now recovering from an injury, and his playing time will be limited in every game, and he has spent two of these four games on the bench, but he is not worried about it, after all, he is a rookie in the lottery area, and he is very clear about his position, and he does not care about this kind of gain and loss in one city and one place.

"Forget it, Uncle Ben is in a good mood today, don't worry about you......" Thompson happily refreshed the team's website on his phone repeatedly, increasing the click-through rate for his headlines, and when he pressed the refresh button again, he suddenly slapped his thigh, "Ah! Why are my headlines gone! Is the website down? Should I call and complain? ”

Everyone came to watch with schadenfreude, and after seeing it clearly, they shook their heads and turned to leave.

"Hollis, don't be so frustrated, it's really not that you're too weak, it's that your opponent is too strong......" Robert Covington patted Thompson on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"I'll take ......a look," Thompson took the phone from Covington's hand, which had been ravaged beyond recognition by his teammates, wiped the fingerprint-stained phone screen hard, and looked at it, only then sighed with some relief.

Champion show VS undrafted draft? 5.76 million ≈ 510,000? Passing by the Meteor or the opponent of life? Next game! Andrew Wiggins vs. China Ding's showdown!

"It's just hype." Ding Wei came over and glanced at the screen, and then took off his shirt, although he couldn't see it from the block, but McDaniels, who was opposite him in the intra-team confrontation, had already felt the progress of this kid in physical confrontation, before he just felt that he was inferior to Ding Wei in terms of skills, and after being blown up by Ding Wei on the offensive end, he could still use his body to make up for it when he attacked, and now he wants to score a goal in front of Ding Wei It takes a lot of effort, which makes him involuntarily walk around when he sees Ding Wei now. On the one hand, this is the effectiveness of training, on the other hand, Ding Wei has now begun to consciously start using his body in training and competitions, and when he does so, it has further accelerated his progress in physical confrontation attributes, and now he has developed +2, +3, and +5 additional stats in upper limb strength, lower limb strength, and physical fitness, respectively, although these stats are not yet incorporated into his original attributes, he will try to make them real.

"Look, this is the strength of others." Henry Himes also went against the usual norm of hanging children, seriously preparing on the sidelines, there is no direct competition between him and Ding Wei, but the recent injury of Nolens Knoll has also made him see more opportunities, although the latter will definitely regain a starting position after his return, but he is also hopeful to compete with Luke Bamot in the other interior starter, which makes him also very motivated.

Hollis Thompson looked at his teammates who were engaged in warm-up and training, and a burning fighting spirit suddenly rose in his heart, and he was about to throw off his arms and do a big job.

"Train, train!"

When Brett Brown entered the arena, the lads in front of him were completely immersed in the hot self-training, and he looked at this group of energetic players with some relief, and at one time he thought that it might be a mistake to come to this team, but to do the job at hand with conscientious instinct and meticulousness, just like what an old farmer who has worked hard all his life does in a land that has become so barren that it barely grows anything, and now, The seeds of this land are slowly sprouting their sprouts, one after the other.

"Hehe," Brett Brown laughed as he picked up the whistle hanging on his chest, "assemble!" ”

……

Andrew Wiggins was the focus of everyone's attention the moment he appeared at the exit of the airport, and he habitually smiled at the flashing lights that were constantly lighting up in front of his eyes, almost enough to blind his eyes, and the crack between the two front teeth seemed to grow a little larger in the bright light. Regardless of the strength, the appearance of the NBA high-ranking rookie in the past two years has made reporters sigh in private, and they even miss James in 03, compared to them, he just looks a little older, even if his appearance has not changed much now, but the hairline that was originally different from ordinary people has risen a little, not to mention that Anthony, who was responsible for his appearance, has a runny pigtail and a handsome appearance, I don't know how tall it is compared to these crooked melons and cracked dates.

Spit and complain, but in the end, it is necessary to return to the topic, thinking of the interview outline that has been drawn up before, the reporters still rushed to start their questions:

"What do you think of the showdown with Ding Wei tomorrow night?"

"The Chinese boys who recently entered the NBA as a rookie on a short-term contract have been on a hot streak, so as the top pick in 2014 and the leader of this year's rookies, are you feeling the pressure......

"The recent performances of the Philadelphia 76ers have given hope of returning to the playoffs, so what are the Timberwolves' plans for the rest of the season......

"Is it possible that China Ding's sudden rise in the middle of the season could threaten your Rookie of the Year status, although he may not be selected for the Rookie of the Year selection, but he is ...... in performance"

"As for the team, I think you'll have to ask our press officer about myself......" Wiggins gave his answer after just a moment of muttering in front of the camera, "I'm going to take every rookie in 2014 seriously as an opponent." ”

Reporters are relentless to ask questions, but Wiggins doesn't want to answer these frivolous questions, as the top pick of 2014, he has been compared by all the media and all kinds of people, and the current facts have proved that he deserves to be the first pick.

"Since you all say so, then tomorrow's game, I'll let you see a Wiggins who is bursting out with all his might." Andrew Wiggins thought so as he slowly walked out of the crowd under the heavy protection of the security guards beside him.
