Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Never Cared About My Data.
Barkley did not refute.
In terms of Woody's form in the first quarter, as well as the current state of the Philadelphia 76ers, it is clear that Woody's stats will not be bad tonight.
He was a little glad that the bet wasn't on kissing the donkey's ass again, but just cheering him on the sidelines in Woody's jersey......
Looking at the replay of the first quarter, Woody jumped up and down to show his terrifying bounce ability, not to mention, he was still a little looking forward to it~
Kenny Smith didn't know that his partner was not only not worried about the upcoming "punishment", but was looking forward to the "punishment", otherwise he would have to suspect that this person must be on purpose!
The Philadelphia 76ers stabilized the situation a little in the second quarter, and also caught up with some points, just like Stan Van Gundy studied this team, Larry Brown's "defensive fundamentals" are still there, plus the Heat are a bunch of "rookies", after they gained an advantage, they are not like the average experienced team, know how to stabilize the current advantage, in the second half of the second quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers also caught up with some points, and at the end of the second quarter, they only trailed the Heat by 7 points.
Just the first quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers exposed their problems:
The introduction of Glenn Robinson has caused the team's overall athleticism to decline significantly, coupled with the lack of average height on the inside and outside, so it is easy to be dragged down in the attack.
Halftime gave Stan Van Gundy time to re-emphasize the issue for the Philadelphia 76ers, and in the second half, the Heat focused their firepower on the Philadelphia 76ers' wings to return to more than double digits.
After that, the Heat didn't give them another chance, and the double-digit point difference was maintained until the end.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 106-95, and the first game of the new season for the Heat ushered in a big victory on their home court.
Allen Iverson scored 28 points but shot less than 40 percent from the field.
This is his norm though!
He's not very efficient at scoring, but he does get the ball he should have scored.
"183"Well!
To have such scoring ability, with key ball ability, what else do you need a bicycle?
It's just that tonight, the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers really can't stand up.
In particular, Glenn Robinson, who averaged 20 points per game with the Hawks last season, who was introduced this summer, shot 2 of 8 in the first quarter of this game, and has continued this low efficiency since then, hitting only 8 of 25 shots in the game.
Woody's young man's characteristic impulse made him not have a temper at all.
What if the "floor flow" of the age can be shaken?
When you meet this kind of jump, you have to kneel!
The reporters on the sidelines obviously knew where Glenn Robinson's "pain point" was, and at the first time after the game, a microphone came to Glenn Robinson:
"Man, at least tonight, will you regret squandering your talent too much?"
He's actually only 30!
The "big dog" didn't bark loudly or look disdainful when he heard the question.
After his expression was slightly stunned, he nodded, he did have such a thought in the game.
So......
"Pass it on, Woody regretted beating Glenn Robinson today!"
"Big Dog": ......
Damn, in front of these bitches, you shouldn't show your true temperament!
Another person who is nostalgic for Woody is the 90-year-old "No. 1 Lang" Coleman, tonight's game, Woody repeatedly picked up rebounds above his head, without a trace of experience and skill, pure physical fitness, and gave him no temper.
Or......
Practice?
See how much more you can get back?
Coleman felt that he must be crazy, otherwise he would not have thought about training more until the end of his career!
It can only be said that the "youth storm" of the Heat team is too violent!
On the Heat's side, Woody scored a team-high 21 points, shooting 4-of-6 in the first quarter, and played a total of 34 minutes and 35 seconds in the game, shooting 8-of-13 from the field, shooting 61.5% from the field, 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, and 71.4% from the free-throw line.
He also had a team-high 12 rebounds and five blocks.
In addition, he has four assists.
Although he had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, they didn't matter at all compared to his positive stats.
Especially since it was his debut.
"Congratulations, Woody, your performance is much better than that of Da Yao back then!" Su Qun congratulated Woody for the first time, and Zhang Weiping was also next to him, "Uh-huh", praising non-stop.
In addition to him, Wade made his career debut, came off the bench, played 28 minutes and 45 seconds, shooting 5-of-12, 0-of-1 from three-point range, and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, totaling 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, with 2 turnovers and 1 foul.
The overall performance is not as eye-catching as Woody, but his appearance of frequently scoring under the basket with the ball on the court still left a deep impression on the hearts of Heat fans.
Haslem also made his debut tonight, but he only played 8 minutes and 13 seconds, and for the time being, he has not yet gained the trust of Stan Van Gundy, and in terms of talent, he is not enough to focus on the team.
Odom, who received a big contract with an annual salary of 12 million in the summer, also made his debut for the Heat tonight, but he didn't play a lot of playing time, only 15 minutes and 34 seconds.
In the face of a "short and stocky power forward" like Tim Thomas, his characteristics are completely unplayable.
The one who spent more time on the pitch in this game was Gerard Wallace.
Played a total of 20 minutes and 13 seconds, which is the most minutes played by a player on the bench other than Wade.
He finished with 10 points on 5-of-10 shooting, along with three rebounds and three assists, as well as one steal and one block.
When he's on the court, Woody plays more often as a No.4.
Wallace can replace Woody's role in the No. 3 position, which is why his shooting rate has reached 50%, and "eating cakes" is really very calm for these "quality hunks".
Two "veterans" Eddie Jones and Grant, the former had a poor shooting hand in this game, only 4 of 11 shots, and the shooting rate was only 37%; Grant's stats tonight were even more unsightly, playing a total of 36 minutes and 15 seconds in the game, but only 6 points and 4 rebounds.
Woody took the initiative to give Grant a high-five after the game, and his role is not something that the data can tell.
Let's put it this way......
If there is no Grant, who will carry it on the inside?
No one is carrying it, who will card the slot?
No one is stuck in the slot......
How did he "pick melons" on top of other people's heads!
Don't really think that grabbing rebounds inside is a one-person thing, all aspects of this basketball can never be done by one person.
Even if it's a "star single" tactic......
Why did Shaq O'Neal come to the Lakers to win the "three consecutive championships"?
Without a "triangle strategy" and no teammates pulling him apart, where can he play the basketball dominance that he has never seen in NBA history?
The same is true for rebounding, the two people on the inside line have always been in a card position, and there is also a board grab, and if they cooperate well, they can get stuck in the key "board grabber" on the opposite side and complete a successful board grab.
And Grant is the one who gets stuck in the slot!
However, in terms of the data of these players in the Heat lineup, Woody, who was the focus of this game, is now a "star-studded moon".
After being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, as soon as he entered the players' tunnel, a group of reporters rushed up, the posture was like a huge black hole, two security guards were in front of Woody, they couldn't stop it at all, looking at their posture, it was like they were going to swallow Woody and the security guards together.
Woody can also be regarded as coming from the spotlight, from a few reporters in front of him who don't know his name, to a dozen reporters in front of him, most of whom came specially for him......
He's seen something of the world.
But he really hadn't seen this crazy scene in front of him!
Still, too young!
But there was one thing he was sure of:
He loves crazy scenes!
"Congratulations, Woody, congratulations on your debut performance, can you tell us how you're feeling right now? There were a lot of people before the game who didn't expect you to play well in the first game of your career......"
The interview went into normal flow, and Woody began to answer questions.
Faced with the first question, he barely thought about it, and said directly: "Playing a good performance, everyone will be happy, but I am even more happy for the team to win, I am not a person who will focus on the data, how many points are scored, what kind of data is taken, it is not as happy as when I see the red light on, we are ahead of the score!" ”
"The fans came to see us win, not to see how many points I scored, even if I only scored 8 points, but the team won, I can guarantee that all the fans who came there would not be too disappointed, but if it was just me who got a good stat and the team lost, I think not all the fans would be happy about it......"
There are many kinds of fans, there are individual players and team fans.
Woody's words are really the end of the pattern!
The next day, his words were also reprinted by major media.
Why......
After LeBron James' wonderful debut two days ago, the reports about him are all promising and promising.
Hardly anyone mentioned that the Cavaliers were being pressed by the Kings throughout the game.
"You know, the Cavaliers have a good team configuration this season, they have the All-Star center Big Z in the East, they also have Ricky Davis, a guard who averaged 20 plus 5 plus 5 per game last season, and their fighting power shouldn't be what they showed in the first game of the opener, everyone knows that this team has a better style of play, but they seem to be more worried about another thing!"
This was a report from the Miami media.
There is only one sentence in the whole article: someone in the Cavaliers is "sucking blood", but I won't say who that person is!
This report, they actually wanted to publish it for a long time, but they were afraid that other media would say that they were "can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour", so they put it on hold for the time being, and now they ......
After Woody played no less than LeBron James' stats and led the team to victory, they couldn't wait to get the report out, and in doing so, they also wanted to pull LeBron James.
Why......
The war for the "best rookie" has officially started from this moment!
They must cheer for Woody and take every opportunity they can pull LeBron James.
The Cleveland Honest People hurriedly reported the counterattack, and their entry point was simple: what team did we play the Kings, the second team in the West last season, and the team that won 59 games in one season; What team do you play against the Philadelphia 76ers? Head coach Larry Brown is gone, and last season he won 48. Isn't it normal for the Cavaliers to lose? You won...... Nothing remarkable!
But the Miami media didn't mean to talk to them, and then another pre-game interview with Pat Riley was released, titled "Have you ever seen Miami at 4 a.m.?" 》
As soon as this report came out, it was like a "depth charge" that directly detonated the entire public opinion.
The words "training madman" officially became the brand on Woody's body.
ESPN commentator Mike Brin was impressed: "No wonder he can lead the Heat to victory, God never fails any hard-working guy!" ”
Combined with Woody's remarks after the win: I don't care about the data, I only care about whether the team wins the game!
A responsible, hardworking, and gifted "Son of Miami" is on the page.
The Cleveland media only found out at this time that the Miami media had played a set of "combination punches"!
They really want to fight back for their "Cleveland Sons" and build a hard-working character, but the problem is ......
Miami at 4 a.m. is ahead!
What exactly do they have to do to make LeBron James appear more diligent?
And the top priority does not seem to be this matter, but ......
On October 30, the Denver Nuggets ushered in their "opener": their first game of the new season, sitting on their home court, facing the challenge of the defending champion Spurs.
The first game was against last season's championship, and this bone should be the most difficult piece to gnaw on in the "three heavenly pride".
But what I didn't expect was that Denver gnawed this "hard bone" and narrowly defeated the Spurs by 80-72, 8 points, so that the defending champion tasted the bitterness of defeat in the first game of the new season.
Carmelo Anthony's performance was not as impressive as Woody and LeBron James, with only 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, shooting less than 30% from the field.
However, this is not to blame Anthony, this is originally a "iron battle", even Tim Duncan only has a shooting rate of about 37%, let alone a rookie.
After the game, Carmelo Anthony said lightly: "I don't care about my debut, as long as I win, it won't be bad for me tonight, so I didn't pay attention to these things at all. ”
LeBron James was stunned when he saw Anthony's interview in the media.
The Goodman brothers were also incredulous.
Woody and the team behind him used to manipulate public opinion, they had seen it as early as high school.
How to ...... now?
This "melon with thick eyebrows and big eyes" has also learned to come to this set!
Don't you care about data?
You don't care at all, do you?
This is the Spurs, can you play if you want to?
You shit!
The first one is sent.
