In a blink of an eye, the time came to the middle of November, and the regular season of the 05~06 season had been played for a few days.

The clash between the 30 teams will have some highlights to a greater or lesser extent, such as the rise of newcomers, the rejuvenation of old players, or the still strong fighting power of the supergiants.

In the competitive arena, there are failures and victories, and a qiē depends on strength, and only when the strength is strong, will there be victory.

In this league, superstar players are always in demand, and many teams rush to them, and the end result is a store that uses them as the cornerstone of the team.

But I have to say that the number of superstars is too small, and the number of people who can own them is naturally a minority.

The Toronto Raptors have no shortage of stars, and this season is no different, with the Raptors having a quasi-All-Star Milicic and a 05-list star Delon Williams, but the record in the early days of the season can only be described as bad.

The feel and chemistry of the players is like the weather here in Toronto, which is really cold.

The defeat came one after another, which made the fans, coaches and even the management feel extremely anxious.

So many people think of the only superstar they have, Wu Di, although this guy can't be regarded as a real superstar now, but they are still happy to look forward to what kind of changes he can bring to the Raptors.

As a result, when the Raptors were covered by the haze of the loss, more and more voices expected Wu Di to return to play.

And finally, on November 15th, which is also the fifteenth day of the season, Wu Di announced his official comeback and returned to the team for training and preparing for the competition.

This news immediately detonated people around the world who paid attention to the matter. After all, the miracle that Wu Di created at the Olympics was too great. Everybody wants to see how much he can play after suffering such an injury.

Under a wave of talk. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, how is this Wu Di's body recovering? Will his knee problems allow him to play like he used to play again?

ESPN held an expert panel to discuss this, and most of them felt that it would be difficult for Wu Di to return to the level he was at when he was a Wizard, and at best he could be the starting guard of a team.

Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley firmly believe that even with a knee injury that leads to a decline in explosiveness and athleticism, Wu Di can still continue his All-Star journey with a perverted shot.

But. The views of the two people have not been recognized much, after all, Wu Di has suffered an ordinary injury.

So, in the midst of this noise, more and more eyes around the world are watching the Raptors, who are waiting for the first game after Wu Di's return.

November 15th was also the day Wu Di returned to the team to report.

The reporters were flooded with the pitch, and the pervasive frenzy and non-stop interviews were incredible, a scene never seen in Toronto since the season.

It's all because of Wu Di, a guy who grew into a superstar in three years.

"Wu, how is your knee recovering, can you play like before?" A reporter asked.

Wu Di, who was in the crowd, was obviously much thicker at this time than before the injury. Needless to say, this is the result of nearly 9 months of recuperation.

Although the body is obviously heavier. However, Wu Di's body shape is not bad, which makes people not lose confidence in him immediately.

Wu Di smiled slightly and said confidently: "It's no problem at all, I think I can handle any game." My knees are healthy, which was also unexpected for me. ”

"There is news that your knee and meniscus are completely recovered, which seems to be difficult to explain with both medical and physiological knowledge, is this true?"

In this regard, Wu Di also knew in his heart that considering the severity of the injuries he had suffered, if he really recovered completely, he would be treated as a white mouse to study it.

Wu Di smiled: "How is it possible, its injury has affected me somewhat, at least I don't think I'm as athletic as before, I can't jump so high, run so fast......"

Seeing Wu Di's negation of talking and laughing, the surrounding reporters laughed.

A reporter continued: "That's because you haven't exercised, haha, Wu, you should wait until your body is completely restored to exercise before making this conclusion." ”

Wu Di smiled: "Haha, man, you're right. I should do my best to restore my body. ”

……

The interviews are always hard to stop, and after the reporters interviewed Wu Di on the training ground for a while, they followed Wu Di to the power room.

For the curiosity of reporters, Wu Di chose to satisfy them.

In the power room, the Raptors' trainers coached Wu Di.

However, Wu Di's physical condition is obviously much worse than before the injury, especially in terms of agility and reflexes, Wu Di has obviously regressed too much, which can also reflect his current physical state.

Of course, today's Wu Di also has his progress, that is, strength.

In the strength room, Wu Di's bench press number and maximum bench press weight were several notches higher than before the injury, which made Wu Di extremely excited.

Obviously, as he gets better and his physical confrontation increases, he will be more dominant in the No. 2 position, at least he won't suffer physically.

Under the witness of reporters, Wu Di weighed himself, and the 243 pounds displayed on the monitor made everyone feel shocked, this weight seemed to be a bit excessive for Wu Di.

Feeling the surprised eyes around him, Wu Di said helplessly: "Guys, don't be so surprised, it looks like I really need to lose weight quickly." ”

At this time, although the laughter continued, Wu Di felt that this laughter was obviously mixed with contempt and disappointment.

However, this affection disappeared as soon as they witnessed Wu Di's personal training.

Wu Di, who had done a full warm-up exercise, returned to the training ground to practice with the ball, which was also the first time he practiced in front of media reporters after his injury.

Wu Di's mood was extremely calm, he first familiarized himself with basketball, and then he dribbled quickly under the guidance of his trainer.

When witnessing Wu Di's skillful dribbling, reporters were amazed, because Wu Di's dribbling was obviously better than before his injury.

Could it be that he also practiced dribbling during his injury?

The surprised idea was confirmed by Wu Di, who took the initiative to admit that in the past three months, as long as he has time, he will spare 1~2 hours every day to practice ball control.

When I heard such words, there was a different kind of emotion around me, which actually contained a sigh, these guys were praising Wu Di's efforts, and at the same time, why did such a tragic injury fall to a player who worked so hard.

After dribbling practice, Wu Di, who was sweating profusely, began to shoot again.

Two caddies and a shooting coach assisted Wu Di on the side, while the reporters snapped and patted.

The first time he conducted shooting training at the Raptors' training ground, Wu Di's condition was not particularly good.

The first is mixed shooting, that is, Wu Di's shooting after receiving or dribbling at will in any position. In this first link, Wu Di's shooting percentage can only be said to be average.

This was followed by a three-point drill, with Wu Di shooting from one three-point corner to the other...... Then repeat the cycle.

Although the three-point shot is Wu Di's better scoring method, his three-point shooting today is not very good, which makes reporters talk about it around him.

Finally, the free-throw practice was held, in which the shooting coach turned on the ball marker, which obviously gave the reporters a definite number.

Speaking of which, practicing in front of these reporters, Wu Di was more or less nervous.

But soon he got into the rhythm of the free throws, and the basketball was crisp into the net bag again and again.

According to the final statistics of the ball teller, Wu Di threw 104 balls and hit a total of 95 goals, with a shooting rate of 91.3%...... Although this is just an ordinary free training, it is not difficult to find that his free throws have indeed improved a lot.

However, overall, Wu Di's performance in the first public shooting practice was not good, which made fans around the world feel for a while that it seemed that Wu Di really had a hard time recovering to his best form.

Moreover, in the eyes of fans, Wu Di's physical weight gain is not a good thing, after all, his knee suffered from Yan Zhan's injury, and it is naturally difficult to bear such a large load.

The reporters almost started to leave after Wu Di's training, and it was clear that they had already gotten the news material they wanted, and the next thing was how they played to get the fans to pay attention to the news.

These guys are actually extremely sorry for Wu Di's appearance today, especially the shot of Wu Di barely coming to two dunks, which surprised them.

You must know that Wu Di was one of the best dunks in the league before he was injured, but look at the present......

After the reporters left, Wu Di also had no pressure in his heart, and after relaxing, Wu Di also considered his own appearance today, although he was a little clumsy, but his physical condition was indeed not very good.

With a weight of 243 pounds, Wu Di suddenly felt that his current body shape was a little plump? Therefore, he also set a goal for himself in his heart, which is to lose 20 pounds ~ 25 pounds in 1 month.

The news of Wu Di's first training session instantly spread all over the world, but when the fans were talking about it, Wu Di didn't care about it.

Now that he has reached 100% of the fusion of his steel knee, which means that his knee has completely recovered, he can be said to have no pressure, and naturally he will not care about the current bad state.

Because, Wu Di is confident that as long as his knees are fine, it is only a matter of time before he completely recovers.

After the first training session, Wu Di did not leave the aviation center arena immediately, he invited his teammates out for a meal. (To be continued......)
