16, the protagonist of the derby
For the new week, ask for recommendation votes.
Because the contract was sent too slowly, I ran naked this week, desperately asking for support.
**************
Francis doesn't think much about passing, and he feels he has the ability to attack easily today. You must know that Lu Dao scored 25 points in the first half, so he has a chance to complete a 50+ or even higher scoring performance, which is a great temptation, but he can't resist the irreversible arrangement of head coach Tomjanovic.
Create more chances for Yao Ming to score.
In Francis's view, this arrangement is a kind of questioning of Tomjanovic that he does not connect with the team, and he is a little incomprehensible, why should he have the conditions to score well, but he has to pass to other players who are not as capable as himself?
It didn't matter, it didn't matter, but Francis did it. He fed Yao Ming the ball, and the game really changed a lot because of it, which also made people understand that on the field, the coaches are always more thoughtful than the players.
Yao Ming scored 6 points in a row on the inside, and the little giant who felt more and more he played also gave out two big hats. The Rockets benefited greatly from the inside box created in the blink of an eye, holding an 11-point advantage with four minutes left in the third quarter.
Off the court, Wu Di was about to explode, and he was desperately eager to play. The Wizards have experienced a scoring drought for a period of time before this timeout, no one has been able to continue scoring, and no one on the court has been able to solve the scoring problem, obviously, in Wu Di's heart, he feels that some players on the court should be replaced, even Michael Jordan, if he has a low efficiency value on the court, he should also be replaced.
The next thing finally matched Wu Di's thoughts. Collins called a timeout, rearranged the tactics, and when Collins waved at him when he arranged the players on the court, Wu Di felt that the situation was happy.
"Rookie, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
On the field, Francis and Wu Di's first meeting was a little unfriendly.
Wu Di is not to be outdone, he is not afraid of anyone's provocation and shouting.
"I'm not here, how can I drip it. However, you should understand that it is not pleasant to be targeted. ”
Wu Di said this to continue to stimulate Francis, in the first quarter of the game, Wu Di's two three-pointers were thrown in his head, it can be said that it was definitely a very shameful moment for Francis. Now that Wu Di is bringing it up again, it is undoubtedly a provocation to Francis.
"Hmph~"
Francis snorted.
What happened next was very much in line with Wu Di's expectations, and after Francis continued to pass two balls to Yao Ming, he was no longer up to this kind of boring work. In addition, at Wu Di's previous instructions, Tyron Lu also uncovered Francis's scars from time to time. The two men teamed up to infuriate Francis, and the guy went it alone again.
Yao Ming's action of grabbing the position to ask for the ball was directly ignored by Francis, and this scene was instantly captured by Wu Di on the field. He's out of line with Francis right now, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the opportunity to put Francis under some defensive pressure. When Francis shook off Tyronn Lue's jump shot, a hand suddenly appeared and startled him, and the most immediate consequence was that the shot ended in iron.
But unfortunately, the rebound was given by Yao Ming, and the Rockets completed a secondary offense.
Wu Di's eyes blinked, to be honest, he was not so optimistic about Yao Ming in his heart, after all, in this alliance with extremely strong physical confrontation, it was already very unexpected for Yao Ming to be able to fight like this. But what if, as the Chinese media claims, Yao Ming can become an All-Star caliber player? Wu Di thinks that the chances of Yao Ming reaching that point are slim.
In the next game, Yao Ming returned to become an inside coolie, grabbing rebounds, card positions, and defending, and on the offensive end, he was taken over by Francis. But that heroic individual play didn't work too well, and the Rockets finished the third quarter with a three-point lead.
Tomjanovic was in a hurry and yelled at Francis off the court, but that didn't make any difference on the field.
Wu Di, who was originally uncomfortable off the court, was finally released after playing on the court for a few minutes.
I don't know if it's because Collins has been pressing him on the bench, Wu Di, who has always wanted to play, can be said to be very positive in these minutes, he is constantly running back and forth on the field, and for this, there are many benefits. He's getting hotter and hotter, and he's proven to be good, scoring seven points and having a three-pointer thrown in Francis's head, so he's got three three-pointers in Francis' head this game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Collins did not choose to let Wu Di appear immediately, after all, his goal had been achieved, Wu Di's crazy hand and inner desire had been completely released, and the most direct result was that the Wizards narrowed the gap again.
Re-starting the lineup, Michael Jordan attacked first, scoring two points with a back-of-the-back jumper that made people applaud, and then the Wizards' offense was out of control, and soon the score between the two sides became 80:73, and the Wizards had a seven-point lead with six minutes left.
Regarding Collins's unconventional rotation method, Wu Di said that he has become accustomed to it.
On the re-entry, Wu Di's task is still to score, and Collins bluntly said that the Wizards need his three-point shot. However, the opportunity did not come so easily, and the Rockets made a new arrangement for the outside shooting of the Wizards players in this game, and it is clear that Tomjanovic is not prepared to give the opponent another good shot.
The pressure of the Rockets' defense is extremely obvious, which makes Wu Di, who is desperate to score, a little less relaxed. But he still insisted on running on the field, running non-stop.
Soon, two minutes passed, and both sides relied on the stars to score, but not so efficiently.
"At this time, which team's role players can stand up first is undoubtedly very crucial......"
In the gap, Ma Wei talked about his views on the game, but before he could finish speaking, the situation on the field changed, and his words suddenly changed, and his excited expression made people stunned his input.
"Oh...... Three-point shot, a very crucial goal, it was Wu again, the Wizards picked up the treasure, and this guy instantly became Reggie Miller. ”
The score on the court was 92:84, and in the blink of an eye, the difference changed from 5 points to 8 points, and in the little time left, the Rockets became less optimistic because of this goal.
Tomjanovic didn't call a timeout right away, he was waiting to get into the timeout, but this time, it has to be said, he made a big mistake and he should have called a timeout right away, but he didn't. This wrong decision directly led to the outcome of the game going off track.
Michael Jordan singled with his back, and that kind of firmness instantly attracted the Rockets' bag.
Jerry Starkerhouse, on the other hand, cut in to the weak side, hoping to get a shot.
However, Jordan chose to pass the ball to the east, and he gave the ball to Wu Di, who should have the strongest defensive attention, but no matter who it was, he didn't expect that just a few dozen seconds later, the Wizards would let a rookie shoot again. And when it couldn't be expected, the Rockets relaxed their attention, and Wu Di got a good three-point shot.
Listening to the dissatisfied voices of the fans, only Wu Di knew in his heart that he was able to throw so many three-pointers, and the feeling was one thing, and the purity of the three-point killing and the luck bonus obtained on the spot were very important.
He's confident that it's not that hard to shoot three-pointers when the defense isn't that strong.
In the following game, although Wu Di did not get any shots, there were no surprises in the game, and the Wizards ended their two-game losing streak with 105:94.
When the final whistle blew, Wu Di raised his hands and celebrated with his teammates, and in the process, Yao Ming, who scored 16 points, 9 boards and 3 blocks, was also very friendly and hugged and chatted with Wu Di. As for Francis, although his face was still a little unpleasant, he still shook hands with Wu Di and congratulated Wu Di on his excellent performance today. Francis's reaction made Wu Di feel good and admired, the opponent on the court, friends off the court, the unique side of the NBA arena and even the competitive arena.
Wu Di was surprised by Rudy Tomjanovic, the half-century-old head coach whispered to himself that he wanted to see him perform even better. Being treated by the opposing players and the opposing coach really made Wu Di happy, and out of courtesy, he also blessed Tomjanovich. Wu Di was quite impressed by this man, after all, no one can forget the scene when he was beaten out of his brain by his opponent on the field. And his remarks exonerating the perpetrator Washington, such a heart cannot but be admired.
The proceedings of the match were less cumbersome, and the fans began to slowly exit the stadium with the departure of the home team's players, and the reporters on the sidelines congratulated Wu Di on being selected as the best player of the match, and then the indispensable interview followed.
Wu Di remembers that this is the second time he has been voted Player of the Match this month, and he is the hero of the Wizards' ability to end a two-game losing streak and get back on track.
"As a bench, you scored a season-high 24 points today and shot a very high percentage from the field, which is an All-Star performance, can you share your scoring experience?" The NBC TV reporter held the microphone alof, staring at Wu Di sitting at the press conference with bright eyes.
Wu Di was in a good mood, and he didn't think about being able to appear here. But now, it happened, and he was the center of attention throughout the game, even overshadowing Francis, who scored 37 points but only had three assists.
'It's simple, just run around the pitch, take your chances and throw the ball in.' Wu Di is also talking about his current scoring experience, because of the three-point accuracy, coupled with the lightness of the body, fast speed, good bounce, and high shooting point, Wu Di himself as a pitcher, the scoring advantage is obvious, as long as he can grasp the moment of shooting, he feels that he can become a qualified sixth man.
Many reporters truthfully recorded what Wu Di said, which made him very useful, and the refreshment in his heart became even more pervasive.
"When Steve Francis was in front of you, he said he was going to fuck your ass, in fact, do you think he's talking big?"
When Wu Di heard this, he was stunned, did Francis say this?
Did he say it? But I said I was going to fuck his ass, and I did, and I threw five three-pointers over his head. Wu Di said with a serious face.
