273, Delicate Disputes
"In some of the games that ended today, the Toronto Raptors' star Wu Di was undoubtedly the best. In the face of the Orlando Magic, who have won eight in a row, Wu Di played his most beautiful game of the season, shooting 13-of-22, contributing 36 points, 10 rebounds, 7 steals, 5 assists and 5 blocks. ”
On the NBA's official website, it was Wu Di who grabbed the headlines on March 3, and it was undoubtedly shocking that he was able to play such a table and lead the team to victory in this game in the United States.
According to the information from the NBA statistics after the game, Wu Di's performance in this game has made him the first guard player in history to be able to play this kind of number.
"In a single game, the only players who can contribute at least 30 points, 10 boards, 7 steals, 5 assists and 5 blocks are Wu Di and Olajuwon, so Wu Di has also created a history of his own, that is, the first outside player who can play such a number."
No one thinks that Wu Di's appearance is not shocking enough, after all, it is absolutely very enjoyable to be able to enjoy an honor alongside Olajuwon, who is known as the "alien".
After all, Olajuwon has been known for his all-around throughout his career, but as an interior player, he has the agility and speed that is not inferior to that of the outside, which is what has allowed him to dominate a series of records.
At that time, Da Meng was a popular player in the entire NBA, and he was the first of the four interior players in the 90s.
However, in today's NBA, these celebrities have been slowly forgotten, and now after Wu Di plays such a number, Olajuwon has once again entered the field of vision of fans with a unique identity.
Everyone can learn about Wu Di's table in this field. Olajuwon was so talented at the time.
In the 1986~1987 season. It was Olajuwon's third year in the NBA. At the time. He's a two-time All-Star and has been named to the All-Star and All-Defensive Team.
With two seasons of foreshadowing, this season of Olajuwon is destined to be a year of take-off, and his personal performance has been very stable, with good offensive and defensive performances.
On March 10, 87, the Houston Rockets hosted the Seattle SuperSonics, and in this battle, the Rockets lost to the SuperSonics in two overtimes.
But. These were not enough to affect the fans' love for Olajuwon, who played a perfect number in this game, with 38 points, 17 rebounds, 12 blocks, 7 steals and 6 assists.
Such an expression was unprecedented at the time, and the name Olajuwon began to become synonymous with omnipotence.
This number is a unique record and a measure of a player's all-roundness.
And now, after almost 19 years of that record, one defender has hit a similar number.
36 points, 10 rebounds, 7 steals, 5 assists and 5 blocks. Perhaps in terms of numbers, Wu Di is inferior to Olajuwon. But you must know that Wu Di's efficiency is immeasurable.
He played just 37 minutes. Olajuwon, on the other hand, played 53 minutes.
And putting that number aside, Olajuwon's Rockets lost after two overtimes, and today, the Raptors led by Wu Di won a game.
In everyone's opinion, Wu Di, who can play such a table, has shown his talent potential to the fullest, he reminds people of Michael Jordan back then, although the two people's starting points are very different, but the same is that Wu Di is approaching the original basketball god at an almost immeasurable speed.
For this reason, Magic Johnson did not shy away from saying: "If Wu Di is also dark-skinned, then I think there will be too many people who think that they came to the NBA arena 20 years ago to watch that guy play." I got the message from the Toronto and Orlando games that the Chinese boy is a freak, injuries can't stop his progress, and he's going to be a big hit in the league in the future. ”
The ratings are often high, and the most exciting thing is that they live in the moment.
At least to be able to see such a player play, even if it is worth the high rating.
After Wu Dichuang took a magical trip, the fans knew the marrow and the anticipation was difficult to suppress.
The Toronto Raptors' attention is skyrocketing, and this is mainly reflected in the sales of tickets, jerseys and other supplies.
Obviously, this is driven by Wu Di with his personal watch.
When a player can influence a game, his individual ability is impeccable.
And when a player can influence a city, a business, then his value cannot be underestimated.
Today's Wu Di is in this situation, his business value and personality charm are getting higher and higher, and this can also be reflected in his personal expression.
Wonderful games were played, they saw what they wanted, which made fans feel like they were worth their money, and the Toronto Raptors' ball market began to heat up.
The match with Orlando is just the beginning, and after the No. 3, Wu Di's personal competitive state is obviously in a kind of subtlety, and it is indescribable to be excellent.
And the magical watch Xiàn brought the Raptors the longest winning streak of the season, 11 straight wins.
In the 11-game winning streak, Wu Di's role is undoubtedly immeasurable.
According to statistics, Wu Di was able to contribute an average of 35 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks per game in 11 consecutive wins, with a shooting rate of 58.2%.
Such a performance is already indescribably excellent for an outside player, and it is really difficult to find such a well-rounded and efficient player.
What is surprising is Wu Di's performance on the defensive end, which is more eye-catching than his shooting rate of nearly 60%.
44 steals and 22 blocks in 11 games is a staggering amount to be had.
Every opponent who has been in opposition to Wu Di has given more or less positive reviews.
All these evaluations are aimed at Wu Di's defense, and the suffocating defense makes every opponent begin to admit Wu Di's terrible in their hearts.
To this end, ESPN has made an alternative statistic.
During the Raptors' 11-game winning streak. The efficiency of defenders who play directly opposite Wu Di is lower than the average of their respective teams. In terms of positive and negative values, it is even more negative.
And the average hit rate of these opponents is a measly 33.6%......
Thereupon. There is no need to say too much, after the All-Star, Wu Di is definitely the most eye-catching player.
Efficient performance and victories brought Wu Di higher popularity, and under the accumulation of popularity, he really began to attack the position of the first person in the league.
Speaking of which, after Jordan's retirement, there is really no clear candidate for the first person in the league.
Kobe Bryant may call himself this, but comparatively. The big brother Shaq O'Neal, who has partnered with him for many years, seems to be more qualified.
However, O'Neal's dominance is only reflected in the post-Jordan era, when Jordan has not officially retired, and the first person in the league is still Michael Jordan.
After Jordan's retirement, that is, after '03, in these short three years, no player quickly rose to the top to become the new first person in the league.
Fans may have their own opinions, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Maddy, O'Neal...... may be qualified to compete for this position, but now they have to solemnly add a name, Wu Di.
Wu Di's performance this season is absolutely impressive, considering that this is his first season after recovering from injury. It's shocking to be able to play such a table.
While everyone described him as a monster, they naturally had to push him to the position of the first person in the alliance.
Duncan is low-key. His character and style of play are not enough to make him the true owner of the torch.
And Garnett has the ability but lacks the luck of the first person, and he has not yet won a championship. Strictly speaking, the wolf king has lost the position of the first person in the alliance.
And what about O'Neill? Truly speaking, he should be the first person in the league, and he led the Lakers to a three-game championship in the post-Jordan era, forming the Lakers dynasty. This honor is enough to make him the successor to the torch, and now, if he can establish another dynasty with the Magic, then in future history, when the ruler of the league is recorded, Jordan's name should be after Shaq O'Neal.
Speaking of the ruler of the league, we have to say Kobe, who is almost obsessed with this position. But in '96, he's no longer young, and the triple title he has only won under O'Neal's wing, which is the biggest factor that restricts him from becoming the leader of the league after Jordan.
However, Bryant doesn't seem to be reconciled to this, his self-confidence borders on paranoia, and his personality has made him fight for it all the time.
Unlike Wu Di's youth, he put pressure in his heart, and when Wu Di played the popular table of the league, Kobe Bryant finally played the identity of "scene stealer".
81 points!
Yes, 81 points in a single game!
It was a shocking solo show that took place on March 20, 2006, against the New York Knicks, an underdog in the East.
Kobe Bryant's 81 points made fans around the world go crazy, which quickly suppressed the heat brought by Wu Di.
As a result, Kobe Bryant began to become a player praised by fans, and everyone talked about Kobe's terrible scoring ability.
At this time, Maddy, who has also won the scoring title and MVP, is of course unwilling to be lonely, and he is only the championship compared to Kobe.
With 62 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Maddie put up an unprecedented triple-double performance, and his addition quickly made the world hot.
Obviously, this is Maddie's unwilling to be lonely and participate in the competition for the future ruler of the league, after all, he is still younger than Kobe.
So, in this situation, the hearts of all fans are also extremely clear, and the biggest contenders this season are undoubtedly the three guards Kobe, Maddie and Wu Di.
The three of them had their own strengths and weaknesses, and with the fact that they were now gathered together, the battle for the rulers of the alliance was destined to continue for the time being.
In this case, fans and the media naturally think of the previous ruler of the league.
When Jordan was asked who he liked the most of the three guards, the old man just laughed and said, "I like all three guys, they are very talented." (To be continued......)
