66, back-to-back battles

Halfway through March, the NBA competition is getting more and more intense, and every team is playing with their best efforts, after all, for these teams who don't want to mess around, no one wants to work in vain this season.

The playoffs are an eternal topic, full of the most primitive passion and charm.

It's enough to make any player get excited, and for some superstars, it's even more tempting.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that any star who can't make the playoffs will always be a pseudo-star, and fans will never give them a fair evaluation.

And as superstars, no matter what age they are, they see the playoffs as a stage that is truly worth their efforts.

Just like the 40-year-old Michael Jordan, in his last season, he still wants to go to the playoffs without regrets. For this reason, the whole team of the Wizards is united and has the same hatred.

In such a state, the Wizards played their craziest record after the All-Star break.

However, horses stumble and tigers snooze.

In March, when the schedule is difficult, there will still be defeats from time to time.

In mid-March, the Wizards lost to the Pistons, who had an extremely well-balanced roster, and the powerful Suns.

In these two games, Wu Di's individual performance was remarkable, he was able to contribute 17 points and 19 points respectively, but there were as many as 7 mistakes in the two games, which is an unacceptable situation as a shooter.

However, then the Wizards challenged the Golden State Warriors away, and although the game was extremely close, the Wizards narrowly won 110-108 in the end. Wu Di contributed 21 points, and in the face of his old club, Arenas scored 17 points, 10 boards and 11 assists, which was his second triple-double this season, and Kwame Brown, who has been scolded for being a parallel import, in the face of the Warriors' weak inside, the whole person swept 11 points, 20 boards and 4 blocks, which was the first time in his career that he was able to pick up 20 rebounds.

The three young men put on such a powerful performance at the same time, which made the Wizards extremely excited.

This couldn't be better for the upcoming playoffs.

And, for next season's Wizards' roster, it seems like a good bounder.

On March 26, 03, the Wizards ushered in their 71st game of the season, which means that the playoffs can be counted down, and the Wizards, who have won 40 games, are now almost locked in the playoffs.

But for the players and coaching staff, they won't be satisfied, and they will continue to fight for a better ranking in the next 12 games.

For today's opponent, Wu Di has very big expectations.

It's back-to-back road games, and the Wizards' opponent is the Seattle SuperSonics.

The star of the SuperSonics is the duo of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, but their record together this season has not been very good, with a win rate of only 50% so far, so they are hovering outside the door of the playoffs.

Although the season is coming to an end, the superSonics are not without any chances.

The key is how they handle the rest of the game.

For manager Nate McMillan, today's game is something they have to win with determination. Prior to this, the SuperSonics suffered three consecutive defeats, and in this game, the opponent Wizards were back-to-back away games, and there will be a big lack of physical strength and energy, so this is a very good opportunity for him who is eager to gather morale.

During this time, while Kwame Brown was in good shape, the overall level of the Wizards' interior line has declined, most notably Brandon Hywood, who regularly contributed 0 points in March, and for this, Doug Rivers had to use the 6-foot-9-inch, but 290-pound interior Jahidy White.

The relationship between White and Wu Di is okay, and Wu Di also has a certain understanding of him, this big fat man played well after entering the Wizards in 98, but this season, he was suddenly pressed on the cold bench by Doug Rivers.

And now, to be able to play, Jahidi White is clearly excited.

"Wu, I think we can finally play together. I've been looking forward to it for a long time......" White looked at Wu Di with an admittedly expression, and he kept tugging at the number 55 jersey he was wearing with his hand.

"Are you nervous? Haluha, I don't think you have to be so nervous, you'll have an easy time playing with me. Wu Di patted his teammate's shoulder with a confident expression.

To be honest, Wu Di also wants to experience the feeling of playing on the court with this kind of big fat man.

At this point, the supersonic home suddenly erupted into a high-pitched shout, which came from the sound of the live DJ.

At the referee's whistle, players from both sides began to play, and the game was finally about to begin.

Wu Di looked up at the time, it was 16:02 in the afternoon.

Today's game was early, and it was the first time he had played such an early away game.

The game starts at 16 o'clock, which means that before dark, they may be gone. That said, it's an afternoon NBA game.

"Wu Di has generally played very well after the All-Star, and he is fully qualified to start any team. But the Wizards have Jordan, Stackhouse and Arenas in the backcourt, and it's hard for him to beat any of them. Simmons, the commentator at the scene, said with regret.

Simmons is a black man, while his partner is a white man.

Still, the difference in skin color doesn't stop them from working together.

"It's a bit of a pity, but Wu Di is not bad at playing sixth man, and it is said that he has booked the best sixth man of the season in advance." The white man said with a smile.

When Simmons heard this, he was quite interested, and he asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" Didn't you say that the guy in Saramento was playing well? ”

"Well, you can imagine a bench who averages 14.2 points in less than 20 minutes per game, and there's no reason why he shouldn't deserve this award. Of course, I'm more concerned about his performance. ”

Simmons nodded incessantly: "Wu Di scored 16 points in the last game against the Pistons, which is the 10th consecutive game in which he has scored no less than 10 points, and I am looking forward to whether he can continue this achievement." ”

"I think, quite simply, it's not that hard for a player with a basket and a lot of athleticism to score 10 points......

Wu Di, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh, and during this time, this sound had been filling the league's various stadiums everywhere he went.

A lot of people are talking about his scoring ability, which Wu Di thinks is a very one-sided comment.

Wu Di has always felt that it is his existence that makes the Wizards better.

It's a fundamental improvement, and because of his status in the team, most people haven't been able to perceive it.

The outside world feels that Wu Di only played a role in fueling the fire, and the real Wizards team is the playmaking talent of Arenas.

Wu Di was a little unconvinced by such a point of view, but he didn't care too much.

Because in his opinion, one day, his true role and importance will be fully manifested.

He doesn't have to worry about that, he needs to focus on the game.

The game on the court went quickly, and soon the first quarter was halfway through, but the score of the two sides was only 8:6, and the Wizards temporarily led by 2 points.

It has to be said that the success rate of both sides today is somewhat low. The Wizards are understandably sluggish because of back-to-back away games, but it is really unexpected for the SuperSonics to play at home.

Nate McMillan couldn't help but call a timeout, and he called to his side two of the superSonics' biggest names, Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, who were the superSonics' dependents.
