288, the hidden danger of the Raptors

In this direct dialogue between Wu Di and Kobe, I have to say that Kobe failed, although he scored 58 points, but compared with Wu Di with 61 points, his table in this game is simply not worth mentioning. Considering Wu Di's 24-year-old age, it seems that the future candidate for the first brother of the alliance is already extremely clear. ”

When the Lakers and Raptors game ended, Wu Di's popularity skyrocketed across the United States, and the original pre-game battle of words gave this game a different meaning, he won and was destined to become the brightest new star.

Obviously, no matter from which angle of the game, Kobe Bryant's performance in this game is far inferior to Wu Di.

So, after witnessing such a game, fans finally gave up a debate, that is, how big is the gap between Kobe Bryant and Jordan when he was young?

The answer is now obvious, Wu Di has always been considered the Jordan of his youth, so the rivalry between him and the stars in the league today can also be associated with Jordan and others.

Although Jordan has retired, Wu Di is slowly telling everyone an answer, that is, there is definitely a huge gap between the players in the league now and Jordan when he was young.

After all, you must know that there is a big gap between today's Wu Di and the young Jordan.

So the question arises, Kobe Bryant can't even settle with today's Wu Di, how can he be conceited enough to be on a par with Jordan when he was young?

So, when the Lakers vs. Raptors game was over, all the hypotheticians kept their mouths shut. No more mentioning the contrast between the star and Jordan today.

Truly, this kind of thing is really unthinkable sometimes, after all, there is a living reference now.

Many people suddenly think. This Wu Di entered the league in the year Jordan retired, which may be destined in the dark.

He seems to be Jordan continuing to save in the league in an alternative way, and it can also be argued that Jordan is using Wu Di's survival zài to continue his undefeated myth.

Although Jordan said a long time ago that Wu Di is not like himself, but has similarities with Skywalker Thompson, people today still regard Wu Di as the Jordan of the new era.

So, when Wu Di defeated the stars of the post-Jordan era who played against him again and again. The touting of these players can all disappear.

Because, at least for now, Jordan is difficult for anyone to surpass.

"Want to overtake Michael Jordan? Then get Wu Di first. ”

This sentence appeared on the official website of ESPN. And it quickly spread all over the world.

Obviously, everyone can understand from this that ESPN has officially regarded Wu Di as Jordan's torch successor.

Bryant may not be convinced by this, but he can only keep his mouth shut. After all, he and Wu Di did not take advantage of all of them this season.

Although Kobe Bryant scored 58 points in the last game. But everyone knows the moisture in it, so it is very clear that Wu Di is no worse than Kobe, and coupled with Wu Di's youth, it seems that ESPN is so respected.

Star-making is the league's favorite thing to do, and since the end of the game between the Raptors and the Lakers, the league management led by David Stern has also acquiesced in Wu Di's status.

However, Stern was not satisfied with just making a momentum for Wu Di alone. Instead, another person was pulled out, LeBron James.

Towards the end of the season. Stern described LeBron as a combination of Magic and Larry Bird, while Wu Di was thought to be the second Michael Jordan.

Under such hype, a new trend has emerged in the NBA league, and the future will be a contest between LeBron James and Wu Di.

Obviously, Wade, who has already won the championship, disagrees with this situation in his heart, after all, he is the first and only player in the 02 and 03 classes to win the championship and the championship MVP.

However, the league did not promote him to that highest position, and this situation made him feel a little unhappy.

Wade isn't the kind of person who gets caught up in his arms, though, and he will take action.

Not long after the league's star-making plan began, in the Denver Nuggets game against the Cavaliers, Wade slashed 48 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, invisibly telling his dissatisfaction.

As for Wu Di, of course, there will be people who are jealous of his current aura, so in the last few games of the season, everyone wants to show off against him.

But none of those who thought this way got their wish.

In the final three games of the season, the Raptors faced the Seattle SuperSonics, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards.

The Seattle SuperSonics still have Ray Allen in charge, but judging from their win rate of less than 30% this season, it is only a matter of time before the supersonic rebuild, and in this case, it is only a matter of time before Ray Allen leaves.

But for Ray Allen, he still wants to play his value in the personal table this season.

So, in the battle with the Raptors, Ray Allen can be said to have used all his strength.

However, Wu Di will not give him a chance, and in just three quarters of the game, the Raptors completely defeated the Seattle SuperSonics, and Wu Di contributed 41 points, 14 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Efficient and strong, this is what makes Lei Allen, who only scored 29 points, ashamed, of course, this direct dialogue between the quarterbacks has also made Wu Di's prestige even more.

At this time, the other members of the Raptors definitely admired Wu Di, and the young people led by Delong said: "Wu is our best leader, and under his leadership, it is difficult for us to lose." ”

Such words give a sense of their complacency, and so, just in the next game, these guys will eat the consequences.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are still going strong this season, and although the Wolves are still able to play an all-round 20+10+5 count, everyone can see that under the appearance of excellent records, this team is actually getting farther and farther away from the championship.

And, throughout the season, there have been rumors that Garnett will appear in the free market in '06.

Obviously, judging by this rumour, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Garnett leaves.

But it doesn't matter, it's important that Garnett is still trying to play every game, and he always seems to be able to maintain his passion on the pitch no matter what time it is.

In the penultimate game of the season, the Wolves defeated the visiting Toronto Raptors 110-96, which was somewhat unexpected.

You know, after the All-Star, the Raptors only lost one game, and now this one, they have only lost two.

The horrific record can reflect the strength of the Raptors after the All-Star break, but now, they have lost to the Timberwolves, who were expected to win by the media before the game.

The reason why he lost is not that Wu Di's performance is not good enough. On the contrary, in this conversation with the Wolf King, Wu Di was 15 of 29 and handed over 39 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

But such a table was not enough to help the Raptors win, because, except for Wu Di, only Milicic scored in double figures.

Leaky defense, sloppy on-field input, and always misguided coordination......

There were too many drawbacks in this game, and for a while, the whole United States began to talk about the Raptors again.

"Obviously, it was they who underestimated the enemy, and the constant victories overwhelmed the minds of these young people, and they struggled to stay sober and efficient, and finally led to this defeat."

"When the playoffs are about to begin, the Raptors are exposing such troubles, is this a doomed thing? Considering Wu Di's strong comeback this season, I hope these guys can quickly correct their mentality, I believe Wu Di is very hopeful to get that trophy this season. ”

"Pride and complacency led to this loss, and I hope everyone in the Raptors can realize this, after all, just relying on Wu Di, they can't win the O'Brien Cup, and it's even difficult to win games all the time."

"Wu Di's table xiàn? With a shooting rate of more than 5 percent, it's almost another 40+, which can't win the game? Obviously, others need to reflect on their mentality and attitude in the game. ”

"These young people are slacking off, they probably think that they can win the game by relying on Wu Di alone. But I think even if Michael Jordan is back at the top, I don't dare to say that he will be able to do this. ”

……

For a time, the entire American public opinion was everywhere, and there were comments about the Raptors' loss.

However, the Raptors don't think so, including Wu Di, who only suspects that his teammates are drifting, but he also feels that the loss to Wolves may be due to the end of the season, and his teammates let their guard down before losing.

Collins, on the other hand, believes that players will have bad times, as long as they can continue to win after the game.

However, in the closing game of the 05~06 season, the Raptors hosted the Washington Wizards, and the final result of this game was surprising.

Lost!

Yes, the Raptors lost, losing to the Wizards, ending the season with a two-game losing streak.

In the game against Washington, the Raptors were robbed of 59 rebounds, and the opponent scored nearly half of the points in the restricted area, and more importantly, the Raptors made 27 turnovers in the game.

The most immediate impact of this slump was the Raptors' 89-120 loss to the Wizards.

In this game against his old club, Wu Di only played three quarters, and although he contributed 35 points, he was not satisfied with such a result.

The poor form and performance of his teammates finally caught Wu Di's attention, and he felt that the emergence of this situation showed that the team was complacent because of the strong strength at the end of the season, and this mentality is very normal for young people.

Of course, Wu Di didn't blame anyone, he just discussed with Collins how to help the players get their minds right for the playoffs. (To be continued......)
