193, when there is no heating
Kwame Brown didn't know what was happening to him, and he was now muttering about the weather in Toronto, as if it had become his job to play instead of playing.
The warm-up didn't last long, and when the coaching staff arrived, the Wizards split into two groups for a simple intra-team confrontation.
In this process, Wu Di has been paying attention to the changes in Kwamei Brown, and what makes him wonder is that it seems that Brown is still the same as before, and there is no obvious change.
However, Wu Di does not believe that the perfect life system will play on himself, he thinks that since he has saved zΓ i, it must have its meaning, and since Brown has obtained a new talent, he will definitely be able to show it in the future.
Bill Russell's defense is the best in history, not because his body is good, but because he seems to be born with a rebounding sense and defensive judgment, which can't be cultivated.
Defense is Bill Russell's main reliance at the top of the basketball pyramid, and his defensive essence is now passed on to Brown, who feels that Brown has every chance to become a defensive master player in the new era.
How long will it take to grow to Russell's level? Wu Di felt that it could be soon, but it might never be.
Either way, Wu Di feels that this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Brown to grow into a top-level interior player.
As for why Brown hasn't shown defensive improvement right now? Wu Di is also not very clear.
In fact, Wu Di is extremely envious of Brown, and he can grasp the 1% chance, this kind of luck is simply indescribable.
With doubts. Wu Di followed the team to the home court of the Toronto Raptors.
Air Canada Centre Gymnasium. At this time, the air seems to be able to freeze.
Especially the air flow that came out of the more than 10,000 fans at the scene. In the cold, it can quickly turn into water droplets and fall to the ground.
When Wu Di appeared in the stadium, he could sense the cold, and the whole air became damp due to the air flow from the fans, which added a layer of coolness to the cold.
However, such an environment did not affect the mood of the fans to watch the game live.
Thinking of the contest between Carter and Wu Di, the hearts of fans are also full of excitement.
In fact, not only the fans, but also the sports media across the United States are following this game, which is a contest between two super dunks. And everyone expects them to be able to create a different kind of spark.
"God, playing here, I'm starting to slip with worry." Brown whispered.
As the words fell, Arenas' voice rang out, and he laughed, "Oh, damn it, okay. The ground may be slippery, but you don't need to worry about this kind of floor flow at all, I think Wu will be more afraid of slippery than you......"
Brown snorted twice at Arenas' "merciless" blow. And then simply ignored him.
Wu Di saw the two of them arguing again, and his heart was suddenly helpless.
In fact, Brown and Arenas have a pretty good relationship. The two of them went to nightclubs together several times, and they seemed to have a lot of fun every time. However, the two of them will always quarrel, but fighting is fighting, Wu Di has really never seen two people angry because of this.
"Hey, big brothers, I think we can think about today's game. I suddenly felt that it was so cold that we should play a more conservative way. β
Wu Di's eyes flickered, and he smiled.
Hearing this, Brown and Arenas looked at Wu Di suspiciously, and they asked in surprise, "What is a safe way to play?" β
Wu Di said: "The safe way to play is to avoid injury, so you need to shoot more, hehe." β
When the words fell, they immediately attracted the disdain of the two people, and they only heard Brown say in a muffled voice: "Wu, if you want to separate from Vince Carter, I don't think we have any opinion...... Well, when did you learn to beat around the bush too. β
Arenas seemed to pause Brown's remarks in the extreme, nodding his head incessantly.
Wu Di was also stunned when he saw this, he had to nod and respond: "Okay, two guys, then let me compete with Carter today, that's a historical-level super dunking general." β
Brown said: "Wu, I have to say, you have learned to praise people, oh no, this should be called praise." β
Arenas nodded and said, "Yes, it's to kill, first hold the other party high, and then torture and kill...... Wu, you're so vicious. β
Looking at the two of them who were righteous, Wu Di suddenly became a little crazy, are these two guys developing in the direction of Living Treasure?
Wu Di ignored the nonsense of the two people, he smiled at Brown and said: "Kwamui, you can't give us face, the big man on the other side is probably waiting to abuse you, I think you must stop it." β
Hearing this, Brown snorted: "The last time he took advantage of him, this time it's not that simple." I had a feeling that I was going to play really well today, and that Serbian guy was just waiting to be cΔo rotten ass by me. β
Wu Di was surprised by Brown's self-confidence, could this be what Bill Russell brought him to improve?
Today's opponent for Brown is Daco Mirisic, the big man who was drafted by the Raptors this year is very good. So far in the rookie season, Mirisic has been able to contribute 18.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 54.7% from the field, and his free throws are great among centers, exceeding 70%.
As things stand, Mirisic, James and Anthony are the three favourites in the rookie of the year race. And the similarity of the three is that they are all very good in attack and very malleable.
It can be said that Mirisic also has the ability to grow into an All-Star level player.
His first season was even better than Brown's best, and Brown had been at a disadvantage in the previous meetings between the two, so Brown was still unhappy with Mirisic, so when Wu Di mentioned Mirisic, Brown would yell at the other party's ass.
To Wu Di's surprise, Brown really seemed to be able to do what he said.
At the start of the game, in the jump ball session, Brown beat Mirisic.
In the first round, the Wizards' offense started from the inside, and Brown used brute force to push Mirisic away and dunk directly with a two-handed dunk. This first-offense option was a morale boost for the Wizards.
Then, it was the Raptors' turn to possess the ball, and Mirisic was also in the position.
When Wu Di saw this scene, he also watched it with interest in his heart, and he still wanted to see if Brown had improved in defense.
And his opponent at this time, Mirisic is a player with good offensive ability, which is indeed a test opportunity for Brown.
In a call from the scene, Mirisic used his footwork to shake off Brown, and after squeezing inside, he picked the basketball to the rebound across Brown.
Just when everyone thought the ball was going to be safely in the hoop, a hand that suddenly appeared and flew the basketball away.
Wu Di's eyes suddenly widened, Brown's defense seemed to be just a subconscious move, and he easily blocked Mirisic's attack?
When he saw that Brown also seemed to be a little surprised, Wu Di suddenly realized in his heart, it seems that the benefits of Bill Russell's inheritance are not chicken ribs, and Brown will benefit immensely.
The basketball was picked up by the Wizards, and Wu Di quickly got involved in the offense, and under the pass of Arenas, he gave up the opportunity to dunk and chose to shoot three-pointers.
This scene also caused a lot of commotion at the scene, especially after Wu Di's three-point shot fell into the bag, this commotion was even bigger.
"Well done."
Brown and Wu Di said almost at the same time the moment they joined hands.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, the meaning of which is self-evident, this is the tacit understanding of the partner.
The success of one offense and one defense in the opening game made the Wizards' morale high, and Brown was full of energy, and Wu Di also took the initiative to give him the role of the main offense.
It has to be said that Brown's table is really amazing, he has been suppressing Mirisic from the start of the game to the first timeout, especially his table on the defensive end is simply impeccable.
Although it was only one block, Wu Di could feel the weight and contribution of Brown in defense, which is not something that can be reflected in the number of jΓΉ.
Clearly, Bill Russell's defensive elite is slowly transforming Brown.
Brown's offensive ability was average, and soon, as soon as the Raptors took targeted measures, Brown suddenly wilted on the offensive end.
As a result, the courage to attack returned to Wu Di.
When another three-pointer fell into the pocket, the atmosphere on the scene was also suddenly different, and the fans began to feel a little pressure.
"At 18:5, Toronto's offense today felt as cold as the temperature in the arena at this time, and it was surprising that they only scored five points in the first half of the game."
"If it's the temperature in the arena, how can Washington explain it?"
The on-site commentators kept talking, and the fans began to shout cheering slogans.
Likely, they hope that the Raptors, who are playing at home, can give a little bit of strength.
At the beginning of the game, Carter and Wu Di were out of place, which was also deliberately done by the coaches of both sides.
Facing Josh Howard's defense, Carter returned a three-pointer.
This scene made the fans extremely excited, and the cheering voices were suddenly densely packed.
However, it was the Wizards' turn to attack, and Arenas faked a real pass and gave the ball to Wu Di.
At this moment, everyone present only felt that the breath on Wu Di's body was as cold as the temperature at this time, and he was showing his killer qualities.
A tap on the toe, a lightning-fast shot, a clean shot from the basketball.
After hitting three goals in a row, Wu Di's save zΓ i directly made the home team a little nervous.
At this moment, Carter happened to meet Wu Di's gaze, and he said with a solemn face: "Wu, the battle has just begun, look at it." β
Subsequently, Wu Di also understood the meaning of Carter's words, and it turned out that the two were going to start a face-to-face game. (To be continued......)
