Against the Spurs, he averaged 23.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, and although the shooting rate was only 44.4%, the three-point shooting rate was as high as 46.3%.

Such a set of numbers is from Wu Di's personal career record list, and it is now displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

Considering the kind of trouble Wu Di encountered in the first two venues of the finals, he couldn't completely open his mind to play, which affected his performance to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that he has the ability to average 30 points per game in the series.

Although Wu Di's excellent individual performance was not able to bring a championship trophy to the Wizards, he was able to use his excellence and potential to make the Wizards hopeful for the future.

After the Finals, the backcourt combination of Wu Di and Arenas has become the foundation of the future Wizards, and Michael Jordan and Doug Collins have not shied away from expressing this.

Arenas has been able to contribute 15+6+4 throughout the playoffs, and his all-round potential as a playmaker has made the Wizards expect nothing less from him than Woody. Of course, in terms of Wu Di's perfect posture of successfully ascending to the playoffs, it has left an indelible impression on the hearts of all Wizards supporters, and it can be said that unless Wu Di leaves, Arenas can only be a second-in-command......

At this point, Wu Di actually talked to Arenas, but Arenas at this stage does not seem to have the ambition to compete with Wu Di. And more importantly, he expects what kind of energy he and Wu Di's backcourt combination can play, and he also expects their combination to be popular in the league in the future.

Of course, more importantly, the two are looking to lead the team to make a difference in the playoffs and play with passion. In this regard, they share the same goal, so the two are confident that they can play together amicably.

As for the Wizards' failure to win the championship, Michael Jordan stepped up to explain, and he thought the Wizards were a little unlucky in the end. And Wu Di and other young players have done well enough, and he is grateful for the hard work that the team players have made this year.

And then Jordan said a paragraph at the retirement press conference about Wu Di: "I never thought that a Chinese child would be able to accompany me in the last year of my career, and I never thought that he would be able to reach the heights he is today. There's no denying that he's a serious and hard-working guy, and for a player like that, all we can have is love and admiration for him. And for me, I like this young man, he is a bit like me when I was younger. But everyone's life course is different, so I have high expectations for him. ”

A simple paragraph unreservedly shows the appreciation of the basketball god at the end of his career for a rookie, and such an evaluation appeared at Jordan's retirement press conference, which seems to be a little immeasurable and elusive.

Wu Di became famous because of this, and his popularity in the United States began to increase wildly.

The media began to hype him as Jordan's hand-picked successor, and as a result, all kinds of news about him began to be disclosed, and these news began to slowly spread to China.

Of course, the media's approach undoubtedly pushed Wu Di to the forefront. Everyone knows that after Jordan retires, the league is destined to have a ruler, but there is a lack of the kind of player who stands out, so there are a lot of Jordan successors. However, a name mentioned at the retirement press conference is destined to be extraordinary, and Wu Di has undoubtedly become a thorn in the eyes of many Jordan's successors.

For this reason, a lot of personal analysis about Wu Di analyzes how high Wu Di's future ceiling is...... And so on, reviews sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The official website of the NBA also made a comprehensive evaluation of Wu Di's playoff table at this time.

Averages: 19.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.25 steals, 1.0 blocks per game...... He shot 47.3 percent from the field, 49.7 percent from three-point range and 72.6 percent from the free throw line.

The appearance of such a number of jù on the body of a rookie can be said to be beyond imagination.

In the playoffs, a guard who relies on shooting can shoot 47.3% from the field, which is definitely a very good example, which can be seen how good such a player's basket crosshairs are.

And more importantly, he can control the three-point shooting rate to nearly 50% on the premise of hitting more than 3 points per game on the premise of hitting more than 3 points per game, which is really unimaginable.

Of course, some people say that Wu Di is not even as strong as the average star, so his play like this is not worth a lot of fanfare.

It is also said that without the attractive defense of Jordan and others and the passing of Arenas, Wu Di would not have had so many openings and could not have such a high shooting rate.

These doubts persist and will not be fruitful until the start of the next season.

However, there is no denying the potential and increasing deterrence that Wu Di has shown on the defensive end throughout the playoffs, and it is clear that Wu Di has the potential to be a good defender, as predicted by various expert media.

The reason why he is admired even more is that, as a rookie, he played such a mature game in his first season, which led some to see him as Tim Duncan at the guard position.

In fact, Wu Di, who was able to experience a finals in his rookie season, is the envy of many players.

Again, this includes this year's Rookie of the Year contenders Yao Ming and Stoudemire...... The two of them were almost satisfied with their rookie season's performance, but when they witnessed the playoff table of their rookie Wu Di, they began to feel a little lost in their hearts.

For Wu Di, he knew that he was completely starting to become popular, and since the end of the Finals, he has been considered the future of Chinese basketball, and he is also considered by some to be the future All-Star player of the league.

More importantly, Wu Di knew that while he was slowly playing his own value, he began to have a little say in this team.

After that night talk with Jordan, Wu Di didn't expect that there would be a more important person who wanted to see him.

On the third night after the finals, Wu Di arrived at a well-known hotel, which was located in the open air at the highest level.

The hotel is more luxurious, and it is very lively inside.

Because it is located in Washington, it is impossible for Wu Di to show up so blatantly.

Under the deliberate guidance of a person, Wu Di, who was wearing sunglasses, finally passed through the noisy area of several floors to the highest level of the open air.

The top floor is very quiet at this time, and it seems a little peaceful under the night.

Obviously, this whole layer has been taken down in advance.

Wu Di was surprised at how much influence and deep financial resources such a person must have, and he also thought about what Jordan said: "What you want to meet is a big man, and he should tell you his identity." ”

In fact, Wu Di almost had a guess in his heart, he felt that this person was likely to be the owner of the Wizards, of course, this was just a guess, he was not very sure.

After the guide went down, Wu Di came to the middle of the venue by himself, and in a corner with a little light, an old man was sitting there.

Wu Di smiled slightly, and immediately felt a little clear in his heart.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Wu Di stepped forward and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, you should be A-Paulin." ”

When the words fell, the old man nodded and told Wu Di the answer, as if he was the current boss of the Wizards, Ah Pauling.

After looking at Wu Di slightly, A-Paulin nodded with satisfaction, and said kindly: "Young man, it's a pleasure to meet you, I don't think this will be the last time we will meet." ”

Wu Di nodded and smiled, he felt the need to take the lead: "You are right, I hope to be able to stay here forever, at least this gives me an indescribable sense of belonging." ”

Apollin is almost 80 years old, and there are many rumors that he is not in good health, so the team affairs are completely left to the general manager of the team.

He rarely appears in public, which makes many Wizards players not so familiar with him as an owner.

And this time, Wu Di felt that A-Pauling wanted to talk to him about the future of the Wizards, after all, his appearance as a rookie throughout the playoffs has been obvious to all. And as long as A-Paulin is not stupid, then he will definitely keep Wu Di with the Wizards as the cornerstone of the team.

Sure enough, I saw A-Paulin smile and said, "I'm very disappointed about Jerry's matter, of course, I hope you can forget about it, after all, this team can make you like and want to play here, isn't it?" ”

Seeing Wu Di smiling and silent, Apollin could naturally understand the meaning.

So, he stopped mentioning these unhappy things. In fact, his purpose this time was to keep Wu Di in the Wizards completely, after all, no one wants to give up a genius.

This is also the case with Jordan and Doug Collins, but, really, A. Pauling is on the fence from a certain point of view.

After all, in his heart, he has never believed that a yellow person can reach this level in basketball, but from this real meeting today, he has to admit that this young Chinese has a unique atmosphere.

He can't be underestimated, and he seems to be convincing.

"What do you think about the future of the team?" A-Paulin asked seemingly casually.

Wu Di thought for a moment before slowly saying his thoughts: "There is a factor here to become a strong team, and the important thing is to go the right way." Personally, I think we need to develop new talents, which is a long-term approach, but the effect should be not small. ”

"For example?"

Wu Di smiled: "Kwame Brown, me, and Gilbert, in time, I am confident that I can return to the championship stage with the Wizards." ”

When Apollin heard this, he was stunned that this young man was really as confident as Michael said.

A thought in Apollin's heart strengthened, and he felt that he still had time to wait...... Therefore, what Wu Di said is not impossible to achieve here.
