282, Abuse Boston
After the game against the Cavaliers, Wu Di's fame and popularity reached the peak of the new season.
You must know that Wu Di is absolutely unique to the player who can make the little emperor James deflated.
Fans have been enthusiastic about Wu Di and claim that Wu Di deserves a series of big accolades this year.
These are not the main things, after all, the award thing is not something that they, the fans, can say.
As a fan, it's your job to enjoy the games that the league's stars bring to the table.
For the experts, their main job is to dissect and study the game.
Tong Guò studied the video and found that Wu Di's defense of James mainly used his flexible feet and two pairs of long arms to interfere with James to disrupt his rhythm.
Moreover, through Guò observation, experts can't help but marvel at Wu Di's defense is too targeted.
When Wu Di defends James, on the basis of disrupting his rhythm, he will let James score in a way that he doesn't like or is not good at, which also causes James to feel cold and in a very poor state.
Wu Di's successful defense of James has many teams applauding secretly, but also beginning to learn from the experience, obviously, everyone wants to find a way to defend the big man's No. 1 position.
For other teams, it is extremely desirable to borrow from Wu Di's defensive style, which is mainly reflected in a game after the Cavaliers played the Raptors.
The Cavaliers hosted New Jersey, and Carter's defense against James was almost identical to that of Wu Di, and James only had 22 points and 6 assists in this game. Far below the average of his season.
It is worth mentioning. In the match with New Jersey. James' individual shooting percentage was just 41 percent.
Obviously, everyone understands that this is the experience that Carter learned from the game between the Raptors and the Cavaliers, and his approach is clearly in recognition of Wu Di's successful defense.
For a while, many players in the league began to privately admit Wu Di's defense, and they thought that Wu Di's defense was now the league's first-class.
Although it is not the best, Wu Di is definitely the one with the most spirituality in defense.
……
The Raptors have become the hottest team in the league after their victory against the Cavaliers.
Its record after the All-Star is quite terrible. Because the Raptors only lost one game, it was definitely shocking.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel, this Raptors team is like a different team, otherwise how could they play such a strong record?
For the Raptors, Wu Di's performance is a great peace of mind for all members.
Moreover, many people were surprised to find that in this season, the stars of the 03 generation did not have a good performance in the hands of Wu Di, so. Wu Di has another title, "03 Killer". This title is the best embodiment of Wu Di's personal ability, after all, he is only a rookie in the 02 class, and now he can beat the 03 generation, and he can definitely be said to be the best player of the new generation, there is no one.
In fact, really speaking, no one really compares Wu Di with the younger generation. For a long time, Wu Di's comparison objects have been famous superstars such as Maddie and Kobe.
Therefore, it seems that some people have forgotten about it, and Wu Di is only a fourth-grader.
Whenever a fan thinks of this, they are all amazed by his demonic talent in their hearts.
Especially now that Wu Di has repeatedly played a strong table and led the Raptors to a wave of consecutive wins, Wu Di is definitely the hottest superstar in the league.
……
After the game against the Cavaliers, the Raptors got two days off.
Two days later, Wu Di led the team to Boston, where he will challenge the superpower team in history...... Green Army Legion.
The Celtics have improved a lot this season, and the team's sinking seems to be going away.
As of now, the Celtics have the seventh-highest record in the East, which is an obvious chance for them to re-enter the playoffs.
It's a very exciting situation, after all, for this team, they have been silent for so long, and it makes people miss the horror team that won eight consecutive championships.
Today's Celtics roster is not bad, the team has twin stars composed of Francis and Pierce, plus a nerve knife like Ricky Davis, if the Celtics have a convulsion, it is really quite scary.
It's April 7, and the Toronto Raptors have a game against the Celtics at the North Shore Bank Garden Arena.
For this game, the Raptors are not too worried, although the Celtics are seventh in the East, but the Raptors have an overwhelming advantage in the face of such a team.
At 8 p.m. on the 7th, the game officially began.
As the whistle blew, the players of both teams appeared on the field, and at this moment, the starting line-ups of both teams appeared above the big screen.
Boston Celtics starters: Francis, Ricky Davis, Pierce, Riverra Frenz, Dampier
Toronto Raptors starters: Deron Williams, Woody, Granger, Matt Bonner, Milicic.
Compared with the starting lineups of the two sides, the advantage of the Raptors is that the strength of the players is good, and the disadvantage is the experience of the game.
Of the Raptors' starters, Deron and Granger were both rookies in '05, while Wu Di was in '02 and Milicic and Bonner were in '03...... It's surprising when you look at it this way.
The Raptors relied on such a team to play a record of only one loss after the All-Star break.
Wu Di in 02 is the most senior player, which is definitely surprising.
But no one despises them because of their youth, you must know that Wu Di is a good scorer who averages 30+ per game, and DeLong has also proved himself to be one of the best rookies in the class of 05.
Needless to say, Milicic is one of the best five in the class of '03.
Bonner may be more average, but his three-point shot can make room for the interior.
In fact, it was Danny Granger who really surprised Wu Di. This season is Granger's first, but his personal appearance is absolutely fantastic.
As of now. Granger is averaging 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The hit rate is as high as 49.2%.
as a substitute. This kind of performance is definitely very good, and it can also make people see his potential from a certain degree.
As a result, in recent games, Granger has been put in the starting position by Collins.
In the last game against the Cavaliers, Granger was 8-of-12 and contributed 26 points, setting a new record for points scored in a single game in a single season.
Such a table made Wu Di also trust him more, therefore. He is now slowly settling into the starting No. 3 position.
……
At the beginning of the game against the Celtics, Granger was still quite excited.
The first goal was still him, and it was still an assist from Wu Di.
However, unlike last time, Granger's goal this time was not a dunk, but a three-point goal.
Speaking of which, Granger's three-point shooting ability can only be said to be average, but now that he hits the first shot, it can also make people feel that his shooting touch in this game should be quite good.
For this reason, Wu Di and others chose to trust. The first three attacks, all of which were played by Gran. This is where the Garden Arena fans come by surprise.
Granger was quite efficient, making two of his three three-point attempts, and hitting all of them, with only one missing from mid-range.
Granger, who scored six points, caught Pierce's attention.
Really, Pierce really didn't expect that with Wu Di on the floor, the Raptors' offense would be focused on rookie Granger.
Pierce is a league-leading forward with a strong body and excellent offensive and defensive basketball skills, and when he pays attention to Granger, Granger's offense becomes difficult.
For Granger, he understands who he is. As a role player, he knows when to get the ball in the hands of the team boss.
In the ensuing attack, Granger covered Wu Di and gave Wu Di a chance to shoot.
In this ball, Wu Di made his hand outside the three-point line, and the basketball fell cleanly into the basket.
The start of three three-pointers allowed the Raptors to play a 9-0 start, and for a while, the Celtics also looked a little anxious.
However, as the head coach, Doug Rivers did not call a timeout immediately, but signaled the players present to rotate the ball more, and it is better to hand the ball to Francis and Pierce more.
Rivers' command allowed the Celtics to score two points after that, thanks to Francis' breakthrough goal.
However, to Rivers' dismay, the Raptors' group of young lads seemed to have a real convulsion.
Just three minutes into the game, the Celtics called a timeout, and the score was 18:4.
This start is mainly due to the hot hand of the Raptors' starters.
Among them, Granger scored 8 points, Wu Di scored 6 points, Milicic scored 4 points, and DeLong contributed 5 assists.
During the timeout, the most excited was Delon, after all, he got 5 assists in 3 minutes, and according to this ratio, he is afraid that he will be a god.
After the timeout, the Raptors replaced Bonner with Masingotatt, while the Celtics replaced Ricky Davis, who had a bad hand.
Although Wu Di was on the court, he did not dominate the ball too much to attack.
Wu Di was able to find that DeLong was in good shape today, so he also signaled to let DeLong control the ball more.
Today was definitely a day of ecstasy for Delon, as his teammates were always able to shoot goals, which made his assists easier and easier, and DeLong picked up nine assists after the first quarter.
With the efficient play of all players, the Raptors led by 19 points at 44:25 in the first quarter.
44 points in a single quarter is not a super-level thing for the Raptors, but their shooting rate of more than 80% is really a bit terrifying.
The Raptors' offense had a devastating tone, making the Green Army fans feel powerless, and by the time the game reached the second quarter, the scene became quieter and quieter.
The fans watched the game silently, which made it clear that the home team was slowly losing confidence because of the current game.
Indeed, judging from the entire first half, the disappointment of the fans was understandable.
By the end of the first half, the Celtics had only scored 42 points, that is, the Celtics had only scored 17 points in the entire second quarter, which is really hard to compliment.
42 points in the first half is definitely a considerable score in a defensive battle, but if it is placed in a game like this, it is really a bit of a blow to the confidence of fans.
The Raptors scored 71 points in the first half, including 11 three-pointers alone.
Such a performance completely wiped out the enthusiasm of Celtic fans, and this game slowly went where it was spent.
For Wu Di, after the end of the half, his mood was already completely relaxed, and in his heart, he had no intention of playing again.
Wu Di played 15 minutes in the half, 7 of 9, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and contributed 19 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
For this reason, Wu Di also envied the rookies in his heart, such moments often belong to them.
In the third quarter of the game, Wu Di had already changed his clothes, and the fans were even more disappointed when they saw this, and soon, someone slowly left the game.
However, the slowly dwindling number of fans was not enough to affect the course of this abusive game.
Deron Williams was the most energetic guy, playing the full third quarter before resting, and when he came out, he had six points and 16 assists.
This is an unusual number that DeLong is extremely happy with, and his 16 assists is already his highest number of assists in a single game this season.
Although the Raptors had a 29-point lead in the first half, their advantage did not continue to expand after the third quarter.
The main reason is because Ricky Davis had a convulsion in the third quarter, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, which is a number of jù singles handed over by Davis, although such a table has little impact on the victory or defeat, but it has given the home fans a little comfort in their hearts.
At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics narrowed the gap to 22 points, but their chances of winning were still slim.
However, Doug Rivers still sent a starter in the final quarter, and obviously, everyone understands that this is the last effort of the Celtics.
Surprisingly, Wu Di still sat indifferently on the side, but Deron Williams reappeared.
It has to be said that Rivers' change has been a complete for Deron Williams, who set a record of 21 assists in a single game, which is the only time in the NBA this season that a player has more than 20 assists in a single game.
With half a quarter remaining, the Raptors, led by Delon, took the margin to less than 30 points, so the rest of the game was complete garbage time.
In the ensuing game, Livingston, Nate Robinson, Louis Williams, Monta Ellis, and even Xue Yuyang were all sent to the court.
Because it was garbage time, there were few timeouts from both sides, so the game ended quickly.
The final score between the two sides was 124-86, and the Raptors achieved their biggest win of the season with 38 points.
In this game, all of the Raptors' players scored in the account, which is the first time this season that the Raptors have scored. (To be continued......)
