Heading into June, the entire NBA focus is on the NBA Finals.

And in this year's Finals, the gathering of the San Antonio Spurs and the Washington Wizards was a bit of a surprise.

Realistically, by any measure, the Washington Wizards' appearance at the top of the playoffs was a bit of a surprise. Even with the Wizards' red-hot form at the start of the season, they are still not a championship-caliber team.

If you take the days after Christmas and before the All-Star break, the Wizards should be the most favorable contenders for the No. 1 pick.

However, it is precisely such a team full of ups and downs and twists and turns, but in the playoffs, it seems to be a new look, as if it has become a different team. Defeated the 76ers, slaughtered the Pistons and beat the Nets in an upset, and finally appeared on the stage of the NBA Finals.

If it was an accident, it was the result of the Wizards' own efforts.

Judging by the Wizards' roster this season, trading Larry Hughes to Arenas is an extremely wise choice.

And in all aspects and from all angles, the playoff coach of Doug Collins can be said to be outstanding.

However, according to the results of research by experts from all walks of life in the media, the biggest contributor to the Wizards should be Wu Di, without his firepower support on the bench, perhaps the Wizards would have gone fishing a long time ago, let alone the finals now.

In the three-round series, Wu Di was able to contribute 19.2 points, 14.0 points, and 20.2 points respectively. Such a performance is already impeccable for a substitute.

Wu Di didn't average the most points per game in the Wizards' playoffs, but his consistency was indispensable for the Wizards.

Throughout the playoffs so far, Wu Di has perfectly interpreted what the real best sixth man is.

So, before the finals began, various media pushed Wu Di to the spotlight.

What Jordan successor, what future leader of the Wizards, what boss of the Wizards next season, what future super scorer...... All kinds of remarks are becoming more and more outrageous.

However, everything can say one thing, that is, Wu Di has slowly changed everyone's opinion of him with his excellence.

He is no longer a parallel import, he is a genius, a potential stock, and one of the heroes of the Wizards' recasting of glory.

Speaking of heroes, this is the main source of hidden dangers within the Wizards at this stage.

In fact, the conflict within the team only happened to Wu Di and Stackhouse.

The Grand Finals is the most important competition and the most watched competition. Therefore, as a media, it is natural to hype it during this time period to attract popularity and traffic.

And there are also people with a purpose, who will naturally use various means to help add color to the series.

So, a few days before the finals, all kinds of rumors flew in the sky.

Rumor has it that Stackhouse's relatives and friends say that Stackhouse said that only one of Wu Di and him can end up staying with the Wizards, and Wu Di is not the kind of player who can lead a team forward, so he has the confidence to stay on the team.

Stackhouse also said that all the credit for the team's reach to the finals was taken by Wu Di alone, which was extremely unfair to his teammates.

There are also rumors that Starkerhouse has begun to completely pressure the team's management to abandon Wu Di, who he believes is the main culprit in destroying the team's internal chemistry.

……

Under the rampant of many rumors...... On June 1, a blockbuster news appeared on the news page of USA Today.

"The relationship between Stackhouse and Wu Di has completely broken down, and the two had a serious quarrel after the team's training match, and after many ineffective adjustments, the two have been sent home by Jordan and Doug Collins to reflect, and will bring you a detailed report later."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole world.

The hidden danger finally surfaced, and it completely exploded.

It's just that this happened before the finals, which is really a pity.

Of course, more fans believe that Wu Di, who can be called Jordan's new right-hand man, and Starkerhouse have completely broken up, which is undoubtedly a very big blow to the Wizards. Moreover, with the outbreak of this conflict, it is not difficult to imagine that the most angry will be Michael Jordan, who dreams of a perfect retirement.

Things did go as everyone expected, and Jordan was surprisingly furious. He didn't care whose fault it was or who picked it, he just threw down a sentence, if he didn't want to play or didn't play well, he stayed at home as soon as possible, and the team would not tolerate the farce between teammates.

For the media, the breakdown was a big news focus for the finals. Soon, countless reporters rushed to Stackhouse's door, and even if they didn't have a door, they were still waiting.

However, some of the journalists connected to him contacted Stackhouse through some personal means.

During the phone interview, Stackhouse's emotions were still a little uncontrollable.

When asked what he thinks now, Stark House said without hesitation: "The conflict with Wu Di is not what you think, I just don't like him and don't want to cooperate with him, so one of the two of us must leave." ”

When asked why he chose to erupt before the Finals, Starhouse said: "It's not something I can decide, but it happened at this point in time, so it must have a point. Of course, now that I think about it, that's right, the more important it is, the more important it is to show the importance of a person. ”

When asked how the team would choose, Stackhouse said: "This kind of thing happens a lot in the NBA, and as a manager of a team, they always choose the important side, and I think I'm still a lot more important than a rookie. ”

There were three questions in a row, and the three answers were neat.

As soon as the phone interview ended, Stackhouse's three answers were put in front of everyone's eyes.

This is a unique interview material, and many reporters can't help but sigh that Starkerhouse, who came to the gentleman's speed, is simply going back more and more while resenting who won this important interview news first.

The three answers, while realistic of his self-confidence as an All-Star player, show that he is more important than Wu Di.

But really speaking, after this teammate farce, his public image is destined to change completely.

And if he can get through it, then it's definitely good, but if he can't get through, it may be a turning point in his career.

Stackhouse is stupid, not just by the opinion of the media reporters, but also by the fans.

From a fan perspective, they won't put the blame on a rookie, so Stackhouse, the future leader of the Wizards, has become the target of public criticism.

The criticism from fans is mainly focused on Stackhouse, as a veteran, should not pick the contradictions on the bright side at the critical moment of the Finals, and to do so is undoubtedly to push the Wizards who are trying to reforge their glory into the fire pit.

Perhaps, he felt that the Finals was an important occasion and a very good moment to prove his importance in the Wizards...... But it has to be said that he has been carried away by jealousy, and his approach will bring a great stain to his career.

When many people wanted to hear what Wu Di, who was a popular rookie, had to say, Wu Di actually appeared on ESPN's interview show.

This is a special episode for Wu Di, which focuses on the success of a Chinese player in the NBA.

During the interview, Wu Di did not take the initiative to evaluate Jerry Starkerhouse.

When asked about Stackhouse's "which is more important" point of view.

Wu Di just smiled, and he said meaningfully: "If Jerry thinks that I can move forward without the team, I don't think I have anything more to say." ”

A simple sentence, but it is extremely thought-provoking.

As Wu Di said, if Stackhouse is confident that after successfully suppressing Wu Di, the Wizards can only further lift the championship trophy under his leadership, then Wu Di really has no need to exist.

However, the real meaning was also expressed at this time: I, Wu Di, may not be as important as you Stark House, but without me, the best sixth man, you really can't go any further.

In fact, what Wu Di said is true, the opponent in the finals is the Spurs, who can achieve 60 wins this season, with their current lineup of the Wizards, even if they are united, they may not be able to beat the Spurs to win the championship Gold Cup.

Therefore, Wu Di's words also woke everyone up, with him Wu Di, plus the whole group working together, the Wizards team may still have a fight.

And if Wu Di is without him, it will undoubtedly dig his own grave and destroy his future.

As a result, under this understanding, the intensity of the media's criticism immediately increased sharply...... Stackhouse's stupidity and self-righteousness are making the entire Wizards pay the price.
