Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Burning King's Cannon
After the Heat vs. Warriors on December 11, Wang was completely on fire, not only because he cut a rare 25 rebounds, 6 blocks and 7 steals, but more importantly, he openly scolded Barkley for the interview at the press conference.
For a time, the fame of Wang Cannon resounded all over the country, as far as the small cities on the edge of Miami, and as far as China, and the three words Wang Cannon have successfully become the most popular name.
In China, on the Baidu search list, the first place is Wang Cannon, the second is Wang Cannon's Buckley, the third is Wang Cannon's 25+6+7, and the fourth is the basketball overlord.
Although many people say that they have never heard of this thing in the fourth ranking, the indicators of the first three rankings can already reflect how popular Wang Cannon is now.
In the first three days of joining the NBA, he grabbed 13 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 steals in the first game, and grabbed 25 rebounds, 6 blocks and 7 steals in the second game. However, in the two games, Wang Cannon made a total of 10 shots, including free throws, but did not score a single goal, and really swallowed a big duck egg, compared with his defensive ability, it was really a world of difference.
Many people are becoming more and more curious, where did this chubby king cannon come from? How did he do this?
With 25 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 7 steals, such a perverted defensive number is the league's top superstar, and few can do it. The 25 rebounds in a single game have surpassed Yao Ming's career-high 22 rebounds in a single game.
Soon someone made a collection of the two games of Wang Cannon, and after Yao Ming watched it, he called him a genius, saying that he couldn't do this kind of thing in his life. Wang Cannon may be the real first person in Chinese basketball!
Yao Ming, who is the first person in Chinese basketball, said this, and suddenly Wang Dacang's popularity became even higher.
Fortunately in the United States, in China, the streets are full of discussions about Wang Dacang in the NBA, how long his perverted number can last, and when he can get his first point in the NBA.
Of course, the popularity in China does not mean that it is still the same in the United States, although the Miami King cannon has also become a small fire, but in the whole United States, it is not as hot as imagined.
After all, the NBA is a place where strong winds and waves have been seen, and too many miracles have been born here, and the 10,000-year-old soy sauce substitutes have had the feat of scoring 50 points, and then continue to immerse.
Therefore, Xiang Wang Cannon's appearance is not too much of a sensation in the NBA.
The performance on the court can't cause a sensation, but Wang Cannon's performance in other aspects has really caused a big sensation in the NBA, that is, he openly scolded Barkley at the press conference.
Americans, Chinese, theoretically speaking, are all people, and people will have the mentality of liking to watch the excitement, which both Americans and the people of our Great Celestial Empire will have.
Wang Cannon's appearance may not attract too many people's attention, but his scolding of Barkley has attracted the attention of the vast number of people in the United States, and everyone wants to see who will have the upper hand in this battle.
After Wang publicly scolded Barkley at a press conference, Barkley was quick to hit back.
Barkley's counterattack was still on TV, and he looked very upset when he heard Wang Cannon's provocation, and then he said in a tone like a dead mother: "Didn't you just grab 25 rebounds in a single game?" Isn't that? Why don't I think so? It's so simple, because I grabbed 33 rebounds. Listen to me, boy, didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you to have respect for your seniors? At least until you surpass your predecessors, you'd better keep a humble gesture. β
"Besides, even if he gets 25 rebounds in this game, I still won't admit his strength, because he hasn't faced a real opponent in these two games, the Jazz's interior strength is too weak, and the Warriors' tactics focus on running and shooting rather than inside, which is why this guy will do whatever he wants, if he encounters a really strong team like the Lakers, Wang Cannon will be a jumping clown, suddenly exposing his face to everyone, I am convinced of this."
Obviously, Sir Barkley can't surrender so easily, even if Wang Cannon slapped him hard with his strength, he can still find other interfaces, and now his meaning is very clear, that is, if Wang Cannon's rebounds can't exceed his career high of 33, then a qiΔ is empty talk.
This is a pit in itself, why do people scold you and have to count jΓΉ to chase you? This was not necessary at all, but since Barkley said so, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Cannon, and they wanted to see how Wang Dacang would respond.
Many people thought that Wang Cannon was likely to be a bird at all, but to everyone's surprise, Wang Cannon smiled faintly after learning the news, "Is it?" Then wait and see the next game. β
Tomorrow, December 12th, the Heat will finally play away, they will fly to Saramento, and play against the Kings, although the Kings have been the bottom team in the league for the past two years, but after all, this is the first away game played by Wang Cannon, will he play better than the previous games?
As it turned out, Wang Cannon was not afraid of away games.
At Saramonto, he grabbed 20 rebounds, including 10 frontcourt rebounds.
In the second quarter of the game, Wang Cannon grabbed 8 frontcourt rebounds, only 3 short of Barkley's 11 frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter. At the same time, Wang Cannon also won 6 blocks and 4 steals, and the limelight was no less than the previous two games.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Wang finally got the first point of his NBA career. Cousins, the starting center of the Kings, seems to be a mentally handicapped child with a low IQ, who can't grab rebounds and grab Wang Cannon, and is about to foul when he is angry, regardless of his foul count, and soon he was depressed by the coach on the bench after 5 fouls, and Wang Cannon, who got a lot of free throw opportunities, finally hit a free throw and got the first share of his career.
What's even more awesome is that Wang Cannon did not attend the press conference after the end of this game, and at all the strange times, Wade's words made everyone suddenly realize.
Wade said: "Wang said that when he can grab 34 rebounds in a single game, he will participate in the press conference. β
I'm going to fuck it, this is going to smash Barkley's rhythm, don't attend the press conference, just wait to break Barkley's record and then slap him in the face?
On December 14, the Heat played away against the Hornets, and Wang Cannon played well again, cutting 28+6+8, of course, still 28 rebounds, 6 blocks and 8 steals.
Won the Hornets, the Heat has unknowingly won 10 consecutive wins, and after Wang Cannon joined the team, the Heat has not lost, not only that, Wang Cannon joined the Heat's four games, the Heat won easily with a big score, although these teams are all famous weak teams in the league, but it can also be seen that the Heat has changed dramatically since the introduction of Wang Cannon.
The Heat inside, which has always been weak, has Wang Cannon, a super rebounding king with an average of 20+ rebounds per game, which has almost completely solved the situation of weak inside, no matter which team, no matter what inside, David Lee, West, in front of Wang Cannon, all of them have been comprehensively suppressed.
Although he has not played against a real All-Star-level insider, no matter who he is, he will not doubt how much weaker Wang Dacang will be in the face of those All-Star-level insiders.
On December 16, Wang Cannon ushered in the fifth game of his Heat career, and the opponent in this game was more special, it was called the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers are an Avengers team this year, and they want to take revenge on their betrayer, LeBron James, who announced his departure from Cleveland in an almost insulting way, which broke the hearts of many fans who loved him, and the Cavaliers vowed to take revenge on James against the Heat.
It's a pity that strength is something that can't be improved by hatred alone. Without James, the Cavaliers' strength suddenly changed dramatically, and the entire team instantly changed from the league's most championship-winning potential team to the league's bottom-to-bottom fish belly team.
How can such a team compete with the Heat, a superteam with a big three?
The Cavaliers and Heat, both Eastern Conference teams, have four games this season, and before that, the two sides have already played each other once, and that game ended in a 118-90 28-point victory for the Heat.
So this time, the Heat, who are fighting at home, have not thought about treating the Cavaliers as an opponent at all. Both the fans and the players themselves think so.
However, it turns out that basketball is round, and since it is round, it is impossible to fully grasp its movement.
Not long after the game started, the Cavaliers showed a stunned offensive firepower, and a wave of domineering 10-0 offensive mini-climax directly hit Spoelstra called a timeout.
"Holy! What are you doing? Sleepwalking? Spoelstra felt very angry, these guys, after winning 10 consecutive games, began to relax, "Give me a serious fight!" The Cavaliers are very accurate on three-point shooting today, and you have to step up your defensive intensity from the outside! Strangle me to death their three points! Wang Cannon, you replace Big Z on the field! β
Although it has only been a few games, Spoelstra has become accustomed to Wang Cannon on the court, and although he is still a substitute, his playing time is no less than that of James Wade.
Spoelstra didn't notice that when he said to let Wang Cannon play, on the Heat's bench, a big black man with a dark and thick face bowed his head gloomily, and then after a few seconds, he raised his head again and stared at Wang Cannon who stood up.
