********************

On May 27, it was reported that the Washington Wizards fought hard in double overtime and defeated the opponent New Jersey Nets 117-111 at home to get the match point of the series. Chinese guard Wu Di contributed 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and Michael Jordan contributed 35 points. —USA Today

The headlines of the whole world are talking about the Wizards' match point, a 3-1 lead means a lot, and the most obvious thing is that the Wizards have a very good chance of reaching the Finals.

Compared with the stalemate in the Western Conference Finals, the Wizards once again played the role of a dark horse, telling everyone with facts which team is the best team in the East this year.

Wu Di's performance in the fourth game has brought him a lot of support, in China, Wu Di seems to have become synonymous with basketball, the streets and alleys, as long as fans are talking about basketball, it is indispensable to talk about Wu Di.

Indeed, it is really unimaginable that a rookie in China, or a guard, not only played a successful rookie season, but also played such an important role on the stage of the playoffs.

I have to say that in the eyes of all Chinese fans, Wu Di, a Chinese defender, has added glory to the country.

Therefore, there is no reason why no one should support him or like him.

As a result, many people began to assert that as long as Wu Di can stay healthy, then the take-off of Chinese basketball is just around the corner.

What's more, under the deliberate hype of the Chinese media, Wu Di's name as "China's Jordan" has begun to spread.

In fact, although this name is a little exaggerated, I have to say that Wu Di's 28 points in the key fourth game are really very thirst-quenching, if there are no 28 points he contributed on the bench, it can be said that the fifth game in the future Wizards will face the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Of course, for fans in the world, Wu Di's performance as the best sixth man in the playoffs is enough. But if he really wants to become Jordan's successor as the media boasts, then he still needs to prove a lot.

After the race on the 27th, the three-day break ended quickly.

After enough rest, everyone adjusted very well, so on the night of the 30th, a game that continued to be full of focus began.

Jason Kidd said before the game that he would definitely win this game and then go to MIC to fight for the sixth game.

This rhetoric did not play any role, and in the end, the Nets lost and were unfortunately eliminated.

So, just three days later, USA Today once again published a report about the Eastern Conference Finals.

"On May 30, the NBA playoffs news, the Washington Wizards defeated the New Jersey Nets away, and the final series score was fixed at 4:1. The final score between the two sides was 100:91, and Wu Di, who played 27 minutes, contributed 27 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals with a super high efficiency of 9 of 12, and Michael Jordan contributed 29 points. —USA Today

The performance of the Wizards is eye-catching, and at the same time, the performance of Wu Di, the best sixth man, is even more surprising.

Wu Di, who scored 55 points in two games, is already impeccable from any point of view, scoring 55 points on 18-of-32 in two games, including 7-of-7 three-pointers in the second game.

After the game, ESPN said bluntly that Wu Di was really overkill as a substitute, and he should be one of the best sixth men of all time.

Indeed, even if you go back to the entire history of the NBA, what bench player can score 28 and 27 points in the last two games to help the team eliminate the opponent in four consecutive games on such a high stage as the Eastern Conference Finals?

The answer is very little, or perhaps not at all.

Compared with Wu Di's personal performance, what caused the most shock in the entire basketball world was the fact that the Wizards were able to magically eliminate their opponents in four consecutive games when they lost the first game.

This is unimaginable from any point of view.

But the Wizards did the unimaginable in the '03 playoffs.

Therefore, this team has to be given some praise and encouragement.

If the Wizards are the happiest team, then the Nets are the most depressed.

Originally, they thought that this time they met the Wizards, it was almost guaranteed to reach the Finals, but the cruelty of the truth told them that every team that can make the playoffs has two brushes.

Maybe it can be said that they underestimate the enemy, or maybe it can be said that they are a little unprepared, or maybe it is ...... But in the end they were eliminated, which is a bit of a surprise, but the truth must be accepted.

The score of 4:1 was really a big blow to the Nets......

Among them, the strongest regret is Jason Kidd, who can contribute 12.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in the series, and after the series, he bluntly said that some teammates did really poorly in the playoffs.

As a result, rumors began to emerge that if the Nets were not able to change this lineup at this stage, then Jason Kidd could most likely take his talent somewhere in the league.

This speculation is not unreasonable, and Kidd's various reactions have already begun to express this meaning, and it is clear that this is what he means as an All-Star and needs help.

In addition to the players, the mood of the tennis fans is very bad. For them, it would have been hard for them to play a series like this, but now the opponents are still holding the trophy ceremony on their home ground in four consecutive games, which is really angry and frustrating.

The victory on the night of the 30th made everyone on the Wizards feel extremely excited, standing in the center of the court, everyone was celebrating excitedly, and it was an indescribable wonderful feeling to be able to lift the Eastern Conference championship trophy in the 02~03 season.

In the subsequent award ceremony, Wu Di was the first to be read by name, and Jordan was the last one, and the two of them seemed to convey some kind of obscure message.

During the award ceremony, Doug Collins delivered a speech mainly about the state of the Wizards' team and the state of the players at this stage, and then he talked about the performance of the players, and he unreservedly called Wu Di an unimaginable good seedling.

The fans were very unhappy with the visitors' boasting about their home stadium, and while they didn't express any strong opposition, the unpleasant atmosphere that hung around them was already shallow and palpable.

However, in the midst of all the attention, Michael Jordan shouted Wu Di out of his teammates with applause, so Wu Di had to make a speech.

Holding the silver trophy, Wu Di's face was filled with a relaxed and sunny smile, and under the kind eyes of his teammates, he said excitedly: "To be able to stand here, I think I have proven myself to some extent." I'm glad I wasn't as I was predicted at the start of the season, and I'm very fortunate to be part of a team like this. I'm very happy, I'm happy to be able to do my best to help the team. ”

As he spoke, Wu Di looked at Michael Jordan, who was clapping and smiling on the side: "I am very fortunate to be a teammate with Michael, although it is only one year, but the valuable experience and help he has brought to me has benefited me a lot in my life." His greatness is impeccable, and as a team-mate, he can be inspired by him. He's a benchmark for everybody and I'm very happy to be his team-mate. ”

Then, Wu Di slowly glanced at his teammates who looked excited, he directly ignored the complicated Stark House, and then smiled: "Of course, I also want to thank my lovely brothers, without their help along the way, Wu Di would not be where he is today." They are my brothers and will always be ......"

In the end, Wu Di's speech ended with a small round of applause.

However, this scene of the global live broadcast immediately caused an uproar on the entire network and in the fan circle...... Obviously, Jordan's actions today make people think about it, and the Wizards' future core seems to have a little bit of a clue.

At the same time, the official website of the Wizards is already boiling.

"The glory is back and the Wizards have reached the Finals for the first time in history."

The big headline and simple words contain many hardships and tribulations.

Yes, the Wizards have made it to the Finals for the fifth time since the team was founded in 1961.

And if you throw away the team history of the Bullets, the predecessor of the Wizards, then this is only the second playoff trip in the history of the Wizards.

It is also the first time in the team's history that it has reached the finals...... In fact, to be precise, it is the first time in team history that it has broken through the first round.
