"Shite, Jazz lost? It's fucking crazy, the Wizards have won three in a row! ”
"What? The Hornets also lost! Washington is crazy. ”
"Oh God, this is the Nets' second loss to the Wizards this season, and it's just crazy show."
"Oh my God, is this fucking funny? It was unbelievable that the Wizards had changed teams, and they beat the Dallas Mavericks, who were the top team in the West. ”
……
"After the All-Star, the Wizards actually changed their previous decline, they won all 6 games, which is a miracle, before the All-Star, they were once hard to win."
"Who's their next opponent? Their record is 27-28 right now, and I bet they won't be able to win 50 percent today. ”
"Then I hope the Pacers play harder, I don't like to see Washington win seven in a row, I hate that Chinese even more, every player who has played against him doesn't like him, that guy's mouth is too bad." Reggie Miller will definitely make him look good today......"
Indianapolis City, Conceco Arena.
Fans with Pacer logos are gradually walking towards the arena, and they are all chatting about today's game.
Everyone's faces were very relaxed, and it was clear that they could probably count on the Pacers.
The Wizards came on a six-game winning streak, and they'd love to see what this team is all about.
This season, the Wizards have had some ups and downs, but after a strong rebound after the All-Star break, it is clear that no one dares to underestimate them anymore.
"Wu, it's a pleasure to be able to interview you."
The reporter on the sidelines of the Consec Arena was a middle-aged man, who was looking at Wu Di at this time.
The boy was stronger than before, and the explosiveness of his muscles was obviously great.
The reporter's mind couldn't help but think of a person in contrast, but the No. 11 rookie seemed to be stronger.
Wu Di didn't know what this reporter thought, but he nodded more friendly.
"Today is the day of Stackhouse's comeback, I wonder if he will play as a substitute or if you will play as a substitute?" The reporter smiled, he just got the news that if Stackhouse plays today, then Wu Di, who has performed well in the last six games, will return to the bench.
Without any emotional fluctuations on his face, Wu Di said lightly: "As long as the team can win, I don't think I have any problems." As for the starters, that's what Coach Doug thinks about. All we have to do as players is play well. ”
For this player, who has the same killer qualities as Reggie Miller, the reporter has a certain favor.
In the last six games, Wu Di has been able to contribute 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.
In terms of hit rate, it is more than 50%.
It can be said that the Wizards were able to win six in a row, and Wu Di's outburst was a very important factor.
No one can ignore his importance, and no one should ignore his importance. Therefore, after Stackhouse's comeback, what position Wu Di will be placed in will be a question that everyone is willing to care about.
"If you come off the bench, your playing time will be greatly reduced, and will your performance be affected by that?" It is said that Jordan talked to Wu Di before the game, and what he said can probably be guessed.
"No matter what time or position, I believe I can do well. Again, as long as the team can win, I won't care about the rest for the time being. ”
Wu Di's serious face made it difficult to doubt his statement.
The reporter nodded with satisfaction, and after wishing Wu Di good luck today, he withdrew from the arena.
"You really don't have a problem?" Stackhouse had a faint smile on his face.
Wu Di looked at the second leader of this team in a daze, and for a long time, they have not had much intersection.
The important thing is that the Wizards are all on the team, and Wu Di now has only three players left to get his player card, and one of them is Jerry Starkerhouse, who has been a teammate since the beginning of the season.
"If I could, I think I could play a game for you, I've seen your performance these days, and I hope you don't get affected by these things."
Stackhouse's words surprised Wu Di, he didn't expect this guy to agree to give up the starters.
He has the impression that Stackhouse has always had a high opinion of himself, and he is very important to the starting position and how much he is valued by the team.
Therefore, today he was able to say such a thing, and it was obvious that Wu Di had to be surprised.
"Jerry, Michael and Doug have already talked to me before, and I've promised them, I think the sixth man is in a good position, that will make it easier for me."
Wu Di shook his head, Stark House's words still lacked a little sincerity.
"Oh, okay then. Actually, next year Michael will give up a position, and then I hope that person will be you. Stackhouse had a smile on his face.
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, we still have a chance this year, and I hope we can stick together and then make a difference in the playoffs. ”
"Yes, Jerry, you're right, I've always been more optimistic about the team's prospects this season." Wu Di smiled slightly.
"Well, winning is about working together as a team all the time, you can't do it alone, you can't do it for me, you can't do it for Michael, everyone needs help. And I've always been more optimistic about you, and I think with you by my side, it will be much easier to play. "Stackhouse is saying from the heart, although Wu Di's shooting percentage is 40% in statistics, his potential in shooting is really very big.
In Stackhouse's view, Wu Di will become a player similar to Ray Allen in the future, although he may not reach that level, but it will also be a big help in his career.
"Ha Luha, that's no problem at all, as long as you give me the ball when I have the chance, I'll try to throw him in as much as I can." Wu Di understands that this Starkerhouse seems to regard the Wizards as his team, and he is just a helper who has some value for him.
The scene of the two people talking happily fell into everyone's eyes, and suddenly, they all felt that the worry about who would start seemed to be a little unnecessary.
Where did they know that Wu Di was happy because he had finally won the favor of Starkerhouse, and all of a sudden it was 50% friendliness.
Wu Di touched his nose, and he thought with some astonishment.
That guy really seems to think of me as his little brother, and it looks like I'm going to need to do a good job in front of him in the future, and in that case, the player card might be in hand soon.
Regarding the issue of player cards, Wu Di already understands something.
As long as he can get all of the Wizards' player cards together, he'll be in for a lot of good.
This is the most fundamental purpose of Wu Di's efforts to build a good relationship with his teammates, because only by getting benefits from a perfect life can he improve his strength more quickly.
Although his improvement has been rapid during the six-game winning streak, he is still a little dissatisfied.
There are too many strongmen in the league, which makes it difficult for him to feel at ease all the time, and he has a lot of pressure.
And Wu Di knows that his current combat power of 110 is still inferior to most starters.
Not to mention that compared to some star players, star players are generally orange level.
For example, the Wizards, in addition to Michael Jordan, Stackhouse is an orange player, followed by two purple players such as Christian and Arenas, and then three blue players such as Haywood, Kwame Brown, and Woody.
As for the rest of the players, they are all at the green and white level.
According to Wu Di's research these days, it is difficult for white-level players to have playing time in the NBA, and most of the blue players are the main substitutes for each team, and a small number of people will play starters. The purple players are generally stronger, and the young players at this level have the potential to become All-Stars, as for the orange players, this is not so many in the NBA, each of them can take charge of their own and is a more sought-after figure.
Judging from the Wizards' lineup, there is only one orange player and two purple players, which is really a bit shabby.
But it is understandable that most of the Wizards' players are relatively young, and as first- and second-year players, it is naturally impossible to have particularly outstanding abilities.
But having said that, Wu Di has seen some strong teams that can have 3 or more orange-level and above players, so just looking at it will definitely make people feel a lot of pressure.
In this way, Wu Di also has a clearer understanding of what level the Wizards' whole team is in the league.
And today's opponent of the Wizards, the Indiana Pacers, is a team with a very strong overall team.
The star Reggie Miller is 38 years old and still has the power of a purple player, while Al Harrington is a purple player, and the remaining three are all orange players, which is simply terrifying.
Although he was also an orange player, Wu Di found that the brightness of the three cards was not the same, with O'Neal Jr. being the brightest, followed by Metawald Pease and then Brad Miller.
Obviously, O'Neal Jr., who has 20+10 strength this season, is the most powerful player, and he is the closest player to the gold level on the Pacers.
Suddenly made such a discovery, Wu Di turned his attention back to his teammates.
Mike Dunleavy and Tyronn Lue are both brighter green, and it's clear that they have the potential to improve their power to blue again.
As for the current blue trio, Wu Di himself is the darkest, while Kwame Brown is the brightest.
That said, Kwame Brown is likely to be the inside line at the purple level.
