Chapter 10: The Christmas War Begins!
"This is the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Miami Heat, and there are 30 minutes left to play one of this year's NBA Christmas games, and I'm Cheryl Miller, a forward reporter from **," said a slightly fat middle-aged woman who was standing in front of the broadcast camera of ** cable TV - Cheryl Miller, a former legend in the WNBA and the sister of NBA star Reggie Miller, due to her presence, The Pacers, who were inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame two years ago, can only be called the second-best basketball player in the family - standing next to her is Dwayne Wade, the 2006 Finals MVP and the Heat's star in the red and white No. 3 jersey and bulging cheeks. ”
"Thank you for your best wishes, Cheryl, and it is a great honor to be interviewed by you." For the legend of the American professional women's basketball team, Wade expressed his proper respect, a 10-year career can make a player grow old, but also let a young man grow up slowly, and the perennial experience of facing the spotlight allows him to cope with it no matter what the situation.
"You're so polite, a little old-fashioned, but I still have to ask, do you have anything to expect from tonight's Christmas fight?" Cheryl Miller asked with a smile.
"First of all, it's still about believing that we can get a win, of course the 76ers are a very young and impactful team, and I'm sure anyone who watched their last game will feel the same way I did, that's the NBA, any idea of taking it lightly will make you miss out on winning, but I believe we can do a good job in that regard. Even though Chris won't be able to play today, my team-mates and I will do everything we can to make up for him because we are a whole and at the end of the day we will definitely be able to enjoy a good game, both for us and for our opponents. Wade's answer was a testament to his confidence, and at the same time, it was watertight.
"There are many fans who think that Ding Wei, the No. 11 player from China, was the key point for the 76ers to win the last game, what do you think about this, and what is the Heat's response to this?" Cheryl Miller asked with a smile, the Heat had just defeated the Celtics in the last game, ending a five-game losing streak at home, coupled with the injury and absence of the team's second leader Dr. Chris Brown, the current situation of the Heat is not very good, and the 76ers Although they have just won a victory, the morale is bursting, but instability is the biggest flaw of this team, and the two teams are either old faces or fledgling newcomers, and there is no bloody drama of grievances and hatred in the near future, only Ding Wei, who was born out of nowhere, is barely a topic.
"Well, with all due respect, I really don't know Ding very well about this player, but I took a good look at his performance in the last game, he did the right thing at the right time and helped the team win, I believe it is also a good start for him, but again, the game is five people after all, as for how we deal with him in the game I can only say: tactical confidentiality, no comment." Wade faces the camera with his trademark smile.
"OK, then some fans call Ding Wei 'handbrake', which means to specifically restrain speed guards, what do you think?" did not achieve the expected effect, Cheryl Miller had to continue to ask, she herself is not very interested in this kind of question, but ratings are the root of all evil.
"I'll give you the answer in the game, sorry, Cheryl, I'm going to warm up." Wade still showed his aura as an All-Star player in the final moments, and it was obvious that he was a little annoyed by the question, but even so, he didn't turn around and walk away until Cheryl nodded to him, and he said goodbye, turned and ran away.
On the court in the center of the American Airlines arena, players from both teams are warming up.
"Oh! Rookie! Is it my delusion? You look as if you're as tall as Tony. The well-dressed Hollis Thompson made an expression of disbelief as he looked at Ding Weidao, who had just scored a two-point shot in the bottom corner and was gesturing to him with a V-shape.
"Huh." Ding Wei was noncommittal about this, after all, no one believed it when he said that he had changed people through the system, he bent down and picked up a basketball that rolled to his feet, and hit it with a two-point shot again.
"Looks like you're feeling good today." There was no positive response, and Hollis Thompson didn't bother to dwell on this issue, there are not a few people in the NBA who falsely report their height, all in order to play their favorite positions, and no one cares how tall Ding is when he signs a player on a 10-day short contract.
"It's too good," Ding Wei looked at the other end of the court, "oh oh! Dwayne! Shall I go and say hello? ”
Ding Wei's voice was very loud, and Wade, who was warming up before the game at the other end of the court, also heard it, he looked back at Ding Wei expressionlessly, and turned his head without a trace, as if he hadn't seen Ding Wei at all.
"Oh, it looks like I don't want to." Ding Wei noticed Wade's performance, he didn't know that Wade had just been stimulated by Cheryl Miller's question, he just felt that big-name players should be like this, and he still didn't want to be hot and cold.
"Hey! Chinese kid! Ding Wei was in a daze, but a somewhat fleshy baby face ran over from the other end of the court, "Hi, I'm Mario Chalmers, the starting point guard of the Heat, you can call me Super Mario." ”
"Hello, Mario." Ding Wei Waterfall Khan, this kid has some comic attributes like Embiid, he is about to run three, and he doesn't seem to be as mature as Norris Cole, who is two years younger than him, but fortunately, comics are generally relatively simple, although some can't accept it, but it's not annoying, Ding Wei's first impression of him is not bad.
"I've heard that you're good at defending speedy defenders, so this game will show you my speed." Chalmers's next words immediately subverted Ding Wei's previous opinion, where is this.
"Forehead ......" Ding is a stopper.
"Speechless? It seems that you are fully aware of my terrible nature, but don't worry, as long as you admit it, I think I will be merciful, and I'll see you on the field. After saying this, Chalmers ran towards the Heat's halfcourt, and the flesh on his body trembled with his steps, and he felt indescribable joy.
"Cherish life and stay away from comics." Ding Wei muttered to himself.
"Rookie, what are you talking about?" Hollis Thompson wondered.
"Nothing." Ding Wei waved his hand.
The game officially began amid the overwhelming roar of fans on the sidelines, and the Heat's starting lineup was Mario Chalmers, Sean Williams, Birdman Chris Anderson, Roel Deng, and of course, Dwayne Wade.
The 76ers started with McCarvey, Robert Covington, Jakar Sampson, Luke Bamot and Nolens Noll.
Ding Wei, who was sitting on the bench, was watching the game on the ground, and Coach Brown's words were still in his ears:
'We only have eight or nine people on the pitch for this game, so I ask every single one of you to be prepared to be beaten for 30 minutes, even if you are on the bench at the start of the game.
"My playing time in the first two games was only a few minutes, no matter how bad I played in these minutes, the help to the team is limited after all, if you want to win the recognition of the coach and teammates, you must show your value in the longer playing time, otherwise you can only sit at the end of the bench forever as a firefighter!" Ding Wei was eagerly watching every move on the court, and the nearly 30 minutes could mean that he could have played in the first quarter, and now he must seize all the time to get acquainted with the opponents on the court, including his teammates, and of course himself.
"The 'Refrigerator' badge LV1 is automatically activated when a player completes a block or shot interference, and each time a block or shot interference is successfully completed, the opponent's shooting percentage will be reduced by 5% in the next round of defense, and so on, if the opponent hits a shot, it will be re-accumulated."
Although in the first two games, Ding Wei's defensive performance was quite remarkable, but he knew very well that the ball of the big hat Kemba Walker was completely the opponent did not realize that there were still people who would desperately return to the defense when the score was behind, and the long-range shot that successfully froze Oladipo contained the opponent's three-point state was very poor, and there was some impatience, and obtaining this "refrigerator" badge can immediately improve his defensive ability, if it is used well, it may have a surprising effect.
Maybe God was destined to give Ding this opportunity, when the game was 6 minutes and 35 seconds left in the first quarter, the 76ers' starting point guard Jakar Sampson accidentally slipped during a layup, and his knee hit the floor hard, which made the 76ers players on the bench feel a lot of pain, and there were too many injuries on the team during this time, and everyone became a frightened bird. But Ding Wei immediately realized after the shock of the tiger's body that his ShowTime was coming soon!
