177, Derby Storm
"Yao, welcome to Washington."
On the sidelines, Wu Di stretched out his big hand, shook hands with Yao Ming with a smile on his face, and then hugged.
"Wu, you have to be clear, I'm here to smash the field today, you boss have to be careful."
Yao Ming laughed, the two of them had a very good personal relationship, and they were compatriots, so they didn't shy away from talking so much.
Regarding Yao Ming's ridicule, Wu Di only smiled, seeming to be interested.
"It's not very easy to smash the field. As the boss, I'm definitely going to stop you. Alas, you don't understand this, but you'll understand when you sit in such a seat. β
Looking at Wu Di's emotional expression, Yao Ming suddenly scolded with a smile: "This seat, sooner or later, I will be able to sit on it, so you don't need to stimulate me, it's useless to me." When I take that seat, I can consider arranging a second master for you, as long as you are willing to come...... Hey. β
Belch~
Wu Di looked at Yao Ming with a cunning face in surprise, he couldn't imagine how this shy big man could suddenly be so confident? He even took the initiative to solicit himself. Isn't it still rumored in the outside media that he is a humble big man without the slightest leadership temperament and potential?
But now it seems that no matter how you look at the rumors, they are all wrong. This Yao Ming seems to have the potential of a leader, but the key is that he hides too deeply.
Obviously, this is a reflection of Yao Ming's emotional intelligence and IQ, he is very low-key and very brainy, and in this alliance where the yellow race is at an extreme disadvantage, he will not expose his ambitions prematurely.
"Yao, if there is a day, I will also consider you joining the Wizards. I also give you a second master. It's true. You must think carefully about what I have said. I'm a guy who lives with a championship. β
Wu Di said this with great confidence, as if the listener had to agree.
Yao Ming shook his head, without any expression, he smiled: "Such a distant thing, we are thinking too much about it now. Actually, we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate. But for now, I'm looking forward to making it happen. β
Wu Di grinned, and his momentum suddenly exploded. It was a feeling that could not be beaten: "Then come on, there is no easy way to leave here." Want to win? If you don't talk about it, you have to peel off the skin, hehehe. β
As for the cooperation opportunity that Yao Ming said, Wu Di knew very well that it was nothing more than cooperation in the national team, but it had already arrived in 2004, and he had not received any news from the mainland about letting him play for the country.
Of course, Wu Di has this kind of self-confidence, and he thinks that with his current scoring ability. No one will ignore him.
The scene of the two people chatting and laughing on the sidelines also immediately attracted the attention of the media, and this new season's derby. It's also a lot of attention here.
And the reason for this is also because of the potential that Wu Di and Yao Ming, the two rookies in 02, are now showing.
Yao Ming, as the champion show, won the best rookie award in his rookie season, which is also the first time in the history of Chinese basketball. And this season, his progress has also been rapid, and the Rockets have clearly had a hint of building around him. Moreover, the mainstream media all agree that Yao Ming has the ability to become a first-line center.
As for Wu Di, that's not to mention, his individual ability is impeccable, he is firmly in the scoring title in his second season, and he is the rookie leader of the Wizards, which completely sets the stage for him to become a future superstar in the league.
Obviously, when these two compatriots meet in the ring, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.
The important thing is that now many media have begun to consider the combination of Yao Ming and Wu Di, one inside and one outside, in time, they will definitely be able to set off a storm on the international stage.
And what if two people can work together in this alliance? I can only say sorry, the picture is too beautiful to imagine.
Of course, these things are still far away, and it is this derby that can be excited and focused on now.
For fans, what they expect to see is whether Wu Di can continue to continue his steady and strong scoring performance. Can the team's winning streak continue?
On the big screen at the Wizards' home stadium at this time, what is being broadcast is the picture of Wu Di's wonderful performance this season.
The crazy and aesthetically pleasing shots always make people feel like they're getting pumped in the blood, and it's a great way to warm up for the game.
And on the surrounding field, there is a unique logo.
Jordan's profile picture reappeared on the sidelines after a few months, but he did it in the background today.
"Wu Di, 25+, surpassing Jordan!"
People can't help but feel surprised by such a sign, how did Wu Di surpass the powerful Jordan?
In fact, Wu Di only learned about this recently, because he is stable and has not scored less than 25+ in any game so far this season, which is extremely incredible.
And such a table is also involved in a record, that is, the 25+ consecutive record that ranks first in history, and this record is held by Michael Jordan 40 times.
Wu Di didn't expect to reach this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, but now, he has reached the Cheng dΓΉ that can be compared to Jordan.
In recent games, many people have also worried about whether he will score less than 25+ points, but that worry is obviously unnecessary...... On January 13th, the Wizards ushered in the 36th game of the season, and it was also a key game for Wu Di to hit Jordan's record.
In last season, Wu Di scored more than 25+ points in the last three games, plus 36 games this season, that is, before this game against the Rockets, he has scored more than 25+ points in 39 consecutive games, which means that as long as he can score more than 25 points in this game, he will be able to tie Jordan in this record.
This record symbolizes that a player has a strong and steady scoring ability, and for this reason, Wu Di is also extremely concerned in his heart, and he hopes to continue this record.
In fact, in order to build momentum for Wu Di, the team even talked to Wu Di in private. They hope to be able to get Wu Di to achieve this goal. Even if you lose the game, you don't hesitate to lose.
For this unscrupulous star-making. Wu Di still had some difficulty accepting it, so he refused to be deliberately created for him by the team, and he felt that he only needed to play like he did this season.
"Wu Di is in good shape, do you think he can finish 40 games?" Doug Collins suddenly turned his head and asked about the veteran Charles Oakley next to him.
Oakley's face was extremely convinced, and he laughed, "Of course, there is no suspense. He's always been able to play with all his heart, which is what makes people have confidence in him all the time. β
Of course, this kind of evaluation can reach the ears of Wu Di, who is also on the sidelines at this time. But Wu Di didn't seem to hear it.
Could it be that he is thinking about life again? A hint of weirdness flashed across Oakley's face, this guy was always unsightly.
β¦β¦
The game began with a hurried whistle, and Kwame Brown seemed a little jealous of the big man in front of him.
Indeed, Yao Ming is too tall, which gives him a huge advantage against any center in the NBA.
Jumping ball, Kwame Brown didn't fight Yao Ming, which made him extremely regretful.
"Gilbert, give me the ball, I want to play with the stupid big guy, he's too tall. Makes me feel excited. Just beat him and I'm going to improve a lot. β
Running room. Kwame Brown shouted at Arenas, and Wu Di could hear it.
Wu Di looked at Brown with a serious face, and smiled inexplicably in his heart, this guy has now completely gotten rid of the hat of parallel goods, and his career seems to have taken a turn for the better since this season.
However, saying such things in front of Yao Ming, Wu Di thought that if it was himself, he would definitely try to teach Brown a lesson.
And sure enough, when Francis dribbled past half court, the basketball was handed to Yao Ming.
In this goal, Yao Ming played surprisingly resolutely, strong against Brown's defense, Yao Ming scored the ball with a left-handed hook shot.
Seeing this, Wu Di couldn't help but applaud in his heart, a technical big man like Yao Ming seemed to be the pearl of the traditional center in the new era.
Maybe in the future, he will be able to become a unique being.
Thinking of the gradual decline of the center era and the decline in the tactical status of the center forward, Wu Di thought strangely in his heart.
Yao Ming's ball was brilliant, which earned him some applause at the MIC center, and this aroused Brown's fighting spirit, and he was obviously not convinced by Yao Ming.
"This is my home field, big man, I'll score on your head." Brown was extremely tough, and after receiving Arenas' pass, he was seen to jerk the ball and then turn and throw the ball towards the rebound.
There was a snap, and the basketball flew upside down like a kite with a broken string.
And Brown's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and the big words were released, but he didn't expect to be blocked so easily.
Wu Di judged that Brown was about to take the ball the moment he made a shot, so when the basketball flew out, he quickly grabbed the ball and got it in his hand.
As soon as Wu Di got the ball, the atmosphere of the Houston Rockets became obviously a little tense.
Wu Di was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled and threw the ball to Brown again.
The basketball fell into Brown's hands, and the tense atmosphere on the court suddenly disappeared, which is obviously the deterrent brought by the scoring champion.
Wu Di looked at Brown, who seemed to be a little cramped, and shouted: "Hey, macho man, you have to be resolute." Well, you can choose a more dexterous way of playing, just grasp the time difference, you are very strong. β
Wu Di's reminder immediately brought a lot of help to Brown, I saw him shaking with the ball, and then made a shooting feint, and at the moment when Yao Ming raised his hand to gamble, Brown slipped directly into the inside line.
Yao Ming went to gamble again, only to see Brown turn around a little and make a low-handed layup.
The basketball wiped the board into the net, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the fans.
Seeing this, Wu Di couldn't help but applaud, this time, Brown's attack was obviously very cunning.
In the next few rounds, it was surprising that the ball was almost exclusively concentrated on the inside.
However, for fans, what they wonder is why Wu Di has no desire to attack, is this 25+ record really indifferent to him? (To be continued......)
