77, was pinched as a soft persimmon
"Houston Rockets win Nuggets ......"
Sitting in the locker room and rummaging through his mobile phone at will, a battle report on the NBA's official website fell into Wu Di's eyes for the first time.
That's right, the Rockets got the last ticket in the West in the '03 playoffs.
In this game, Yao Ming got 15 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks, and it was precisely because of his powerful performance on the inside that the Rockets narrowly defeated the Nuggets 79-77.
In Wu Di's view, this competition has affected the trend and results of the selection of the best rookie as a whole.
Originally, the Rockets and Suns competed for the last playoff spot, which had a greater impact on the attribution of the best rookie.
At the same time, it's actually a battle between Yao Ming and Stoudemire for the best rookie, and the two have really been evenly matched this season, so the battle for tickets and individual performances in these key games will be the factors that will add or minus points in their race for the best rookie.
And now, the Rockets not only got the playoff spot, but Yao Ming was also the biggest contributor to the victory. Obviously, in just this match, Yao Ming is enough to increase his chances of winning the best rookie by a few percent.
Of course, Yao Ming's stats are similar to Stoudemire's, and the reason why Yao Ming is able to take the lead now is that he personally performed well in the final key match.
On the other hand, in the Suns' last two games, first against the Trail Blazers, the Suns lost, and Stoudemire only had 17 points and seven rebounds, but had seven turnovers.
The loss to the Trail Blazers means that the Suns will not be able to make the playoffs again, regardless of whether they lose or win in the last game.
With such a comparison, it is clear that Yao Ming should be elected this season's rookie of the year.
In fact, Wu Di's thought in his heart was that this best rookie would either be won by Yao Ming, or the alliance would simply be able to give it to him.
However, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Wu Di, according to the information he has, this year's best rookie will only be produced from Yao Ming and Xiao Si, so Wu Di also knows that he will not win this award.
However, the same Chinese player, if he can't win it, then Wu Di is of course more happy that Yao Ming can win this award.
While Wu Di was rummaging through the news of the last day with interest, Tyronn Lue's shouts pulled him back from his engagement.
Wu Di closed the page, threw his phone in his bag, and followed the team out of the locker room.
It was the last game of his rookie season against the Philadelphia 76ers.
And this game is their away game.
Even if it is the closing stop, it is likely to be a stalemate race.
Although the Wizards will not deliberately choose a playoff opponent, it does not mean that the 76ers do not want to choose a first-round opponent.
The stadium entered the stadium and the fans cheered.
However, many people were surprised by Jordan's suit and leather shoes today, and it was obvious that in the last game, Jordan chose to rest.
"Michael is resting for this game, I wonder who will start the game?" The white commentator Mike glanced at the players on the Wizards' side.
Sitting next to him was Mavey Albert, who had partnered with Doug Collins.
Today is the live broadcast of **, but Barkley and Kenny Smith do not show up.
Ma Wei smiled slightly: "If nothing else, it must be Wu Di, his scoring ability is great, and judging from these games in April, Wu Di's scoring fluctuations are obviously much smaller." This shows that the kid has matured and he is gradually becoming a consistent scorer. It was clear that he would be the best person to start in place of Michael. ”
Sure enough, as Ma Wei said, in the list of starters announced later, Wu Di was among them.
The two commentators kept talking about the factors that affected the game, and off the court, reporters have begun to interview players on the 76ers' side.
Eriksno was full of confidence and said in front of the fans: "If we run against them in the playoffs, I think we will easily eliminate them, their starters are good, but the bench is too bad, such a team can't go far in the playoffs." ”
The reporter was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but prompt: "The Wizards have two good bench scorers, Wu Di and Mike Dunleavy, they can be said to be the two muskets on the Wizards' bench." ”
When Snow heard this, his face showed disdain, and he said extremely frivolously: "They are just in vain, and in the playoffs, oh no, in this game, we will let him show his true identity." ”
Wu Di could certainly hear this, and it was clear that Eriknoh was provoking.
The rampant in his words was unpleasant, but Wu Di didn't have too many personal emotions.
When the reporter on the other side brought the microphone to Wu Di's mouth, Wu Di chuckled and said: "We are in vain, but he is more like a clown who jumps off the beam." It's useless to talk about it now, and it's ...... to use the results in the end."
As soon as Wu Di's words came out, fans suddenly discussed, they were surprised that this rookie was still so arrogant, but it seemed that he was always so confident now.
Mavi and Mike stopped talking at the same time, and they noticed the situation on the field.
"This guy, why did the two of them fight before the game started?" Mike was surprised.
Obviously, Ma Wei didn't expect the match to be full of gunpowder before it even started, and he listened to the interview on the field with interest, his eyes flashing throughout the process.
After thinking for a while, Ma Weicai said with a smile: "There is no contradiction between the two of them. If you really want to find a reason, it is probably because of the original trade rumors. ”
"Oh? What a deal rumors. ”
"It should have been a few months ago, it was said that the 76ers wanted to bring in Wu Di, but the Wizards offered Alex Norte as a bargaining chip. It seems that there is no negotiation after the worst, and then the deal is yellow. ”
When Mike heard this, he also understood the reason, and it was obvious that Snow thought that comparing Wu Di to him was an insult to him, so he hated Wu Di in his heart.
Therefore, before the game started, Stowe made a provocative statement, obviously he wanted to establish his prestige and let everyone see that he was better than Wu Di.
This proves that the original trade rumor was ridiculous.
Mike asked, "So which of the two do you think is more valuable?" ”
"Is it worth it? At this stage, I think Eric is taller. Alex Nor, who is still contributing 12 points and 6.6 assists this season, is a Finals player and a veteran with years of playoff experience. However, Wu Di also has his advantages, Wu Di is younger, Eric is 30 years old, obviously, the potential is greater and the potential value of the young Wu Di is greater in the future. ”
After a pause, Ma Wei continued: "Well, in this game, I think the 76ers have a better chance of winning, and I am more optimistic about the experienced Snow. ”
"I also think so, Snow's experience is incomparable to Wu Di."
Sitting on the field and feeling everything in the stadium, Wu Di suddenly found that there were still so many voices that were not optimistic about himself, and Eriksno must have provoked himself because he thought very highly of himself.
"There's a long way to go, and it looks like I need to work harder."
When the whistle blew at the beginning of the game, Wu Di got up and walked to the field, and he sighed uncontrollably.
It will always be not so good to be treated as a soft persimmon......
