"Boom~"

A muffled thud rang out in the Staples Center.

The voices of the fans at the scene were full of annoyance.

The manic boos expressed dissatisfaction, and at this time, it seemed that it was not aimed at the Raptors who were challenging on the road.

Kobe's eyes gradually turned cold, he knew what he had to do now, but he always struggled to live up to expectations.

Wu Di swayed off the basket, that light posture made people feel frightened, this guy must not have been fooling around much yesterday.

Smoke grenades? It must have been a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Raptors.

When such a thought came to mind, Staples fans instantly felt that these "guests" from Toronto were really cunning.

And once you think so, not many people think that the Raptors will be physically exhausted because of fooling around, and no one thinks that the Lakers will win the game easily.

On the scorers lit up around the arena, the huge red font was quite glaring, 47:30.

The Raptors went on a 12-0 run midway through the second quarter to extend their lead to 17 points in the blink of an eye.

This situation came very suddenly, and it caught people off guard.

Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, he couldn't stand the Lakers' abuse on the court.

Wu Di had a hint of excitement on his face, and when he left the game, he didn't forget to celebrate with his little brother Livingston, who gave him the air relay.

Today the team played well at the start, which exceeded his expectations.

However, the fitness problem is still there, otherwise Collins would not have let the main team go down to rest in the second quarter.

As for Wu Di. This is what he asked to be present. He wanted to talk to Kobe Bryant directly. Want to respond to all queries.

"Wu, you come down and rest for a while, the game won't end so soon, you need to be ready for the second half."

Corinth's voice rang out, and although it was firm, it did not feel like an order, a request, but a negotiation.

Wu Di took the towel handed over by his teammates. Find a place to sit down, and at the same time, he nodded in reply.

In this case, Wu Di also knew that he didn't need to play again, after all, he was already 17 points ahead.

Once Collins received an answer, he didn't say anything more and began to choose the players who would play next.

Xue Yuyang is Wu Di's Chinese compatriot, and his physical condition can only be said to be average in the NBA, but this guy has worked relatively hard since he came to the Raptors.

Although the arm span is average, the strength is not particularly strong. But he trains hard and is good at summarizing and learning.

From the standpoint. This big man does not have the ability to enter the NBA rotation, but Wu Di has some hope for him.

In fact, Wu Di is optimistic about Xue Yuyang mainly because of his background, this is an ordinary player who came out of the Chinese basketball system, and it is definitely difficult for someone who is not within the rules to enter the NBA.

It can be said that even in order to give a little hope to thousands of low-level players in China with basketball dreams, Wu Di will ask the Raptors to give Xue Yuyang a long-term contract.

From Xue Yuyang's entry into the NBA in 04 to the end of his second season, Xue Yuyang has only played less than 30 games, and his number is only a pitiful 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds.

Obviously, Xue Yuyang, who has no real NBA ability, is just a competent water cooler keeper in the NBA.

Wu Di wanted to know how this guy could develop and get such a chance to enter the rotation lineup, so he turned on the perfect evaluation system when he was idle and bored at this time.

After some glances, Xue Yuyang's current situation has fallen into Wu Di's eyes.

"Player Level: White, Stat: 38...... Talent? Talent: Strong Interior Line. ”

This was a surprise to Wu Di, who had never seen a white player possess talent, which was definitely the first time in his four years that Wu Di had seen him.

However, Xue Yuyang's talent is not very different from other players, his talent is gray, obviously, this is a talent that has not been lit up.

Although it was not lit up, Wu Di could understand that this definitely provided a direction for Xue Yuyang's future development.

This guy should work on his interior impact ability more, maybe he can be a good substitute insider.

Wu Di thought so in his heart, and at the same time, he looked at Xue Yuyang who was sitting beside him.

"Yuyang, what position do you think the NBA is missing now? What position will there be a shortage of players in the future? ”

Wu Di's sudden question made Xue Yuyang, who was watching the game seriously, feel a little surprised.

However, he quickly regained his consciousness, and after a little thought, Xue Yuyang still said: "It should be the inner line, there are many outside lines at present, and they are all very strong, although there are also excellent players on the inside line, but there seems to be a kind of green and yellow situation." ”

Wu Di also praised Xue Yuyang's brain in his heart, judging from the draft situation in the past two years, the traditional inside line has slowly disappeared, and the new inside line style is outward, and the height is not too tall.

Therefore, Wu Di feels that an inside line with traditional technology will definitely be able to stand in the future.

"Do you think you've found your place in the NBA in the past two years?" Wu Di asked lightly, he felt that there was no need to shy away from this kind of question.

Xue Yuyang's eyes suddenly darkened, he shook his head, in two years, he was able to realize the gap between himself and the NBA.

Wu Di patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled: "You are very good, your athleticism is good, and you play all the way from the outside to the inside, this is your advantage." But, you have to be clear that you are 7 feet tall and you can't always play out of the box. I think that if you can quickly complete the transition to the inside, then you may be able to make a difference in the future. ”

Xue Yuyang nodded when he heard this.

From the day he first entered the NBA, the Raptors' coaches made a complete transition to the interior, playing the swing of the No. 4 and No. 5 positions. But he was a little scared of the body collision on the inside. Therefore, I have not made up my mind.

Now when Wu Di took the initiative. He finally felt that he should take this issue seriously, and he didn't want to be sent back to China after his rookie contract ended.

Seeing that Xue Yuyang was thinking in a trance, Wu Di didn't say anything anymore, after all, sometimes a person's future still needs to be decided by himself.

Wu Di's attention returned to the court, and the Raptors still had a big advantage at this time, so Wu Di was also at ease.

Soon, the first half of the game ended. The Raptors took a temporary lead of 60-50.

In the interval between the halfs, Wu Di refused to be interviewed by reporters on the Lakers' sidelines, and he felt that the best way to fight back with action was not to be idle and bored.

Wu Di knew that Kobe Bryant had scored 20 points, but he didn't think Kobe Bryant was doing well in this game, because at least half of Kobe's 20 points were scored when Wu Di was not on the court.

This is the reason why Wu Di is confident that he is better than Kobe, because in the first half of the face-to-face with Kobe, Wu Di contributed 24 points to the Raptors.

The Raptors played almost evenly between the main players and the rotation lineup in the first half, and both lineups were excellent. It made everyone feel incredible.

For a manager, having someone available at his disposal is definitely the happiest and most exciting.

The game begins in the third quarter. Collins still opted to rest his main players, and he fielded a line-up of Gortat, Xue Yuyang, Ellis, Nate and Louis Williams.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant is still on the court, and they need to chase points.

To Wu Di's surprise, Kobe's hand finally blossomed, but the backcourt composed of Ellis, Nate and Williams is also extremely impactful, and their offensive enthusiasm has not shrunk the score between the Raptors and the Lakers.

However, after 3 minutes of the game, the Black Mamba finally showed its fangs, and in just 49 seconds, three consecutive three-pointers, and a strong score of 9 points immediately made Staples dye a wave of madness.

The Lakers, led by Kobe Bryant's 9 points in a row, narrowed the gap to 6 points.

At this time, the basketball fell into the hands of Xue Yuyang, the big man who was unfamiliar to Staples fans actually dribbled and broke through to the inside, and under Gooden's close defense, he won a tough dunk.

The sudden appearance of the scene made Wu Di feel excited in his heart, and he felt that he had not won the opportunity to play for his compatriot in vain.

Looking at Xue Yuyang, who flew out upside down, Staples fans were surprised.

The referee's whistle seemed to sound a little slowly, but Xue Yuyang still got the opportunity to make free throws.

After hitting the free throw, Xue Yuyang's 2+1 helped the Raptors expand the score to 9 points.

In fact, this is just a flash in the pan, for Kobe Bryant, who plays with momentum and feeling, how can a group of young substitutes stop him?

By the time Collins called a timeout, Bryant's personal score had reached 35 points, which meant that he had 15 points in the third quarter and a half.

"It's incredible, this is the great Black Mamba, as long as he wants to score, he can't stop it."

Amid the praise of the live DJ, Kobe Bryant also frantically pulled up his jersey, as if he was expressing his "domineering".

In the rest area of the Raptors, Wu Di smiled lightly and opened his mouth to say, "Doug, it's time for me to play." ”

The simple words were agreed, in fact, there is no need for Wu Di to say, Wu Di, who has rested for more than half an hour, will definitely be sent to the court, after all, the Raptors are only leading by 3 points at 76:73.

When they saw Wu Di with a group of starters, Staples fans also let out a burst of restlessness, I don't know if this is a fear or a fear!

In the game between the Lakers and the Raptors, Kobe Bryant, the star of Staples, almost single-handedly filled the score in the third quarter, and the scoring champion was naturally extraordinary.

However, after Kobe Bryant's 35 points, the Raptors have called a timeout, and the main players led by Wu Di are obviously going to appear next.

The smoke of the war is rolling, which can be described as wonderful. ”
