Chapter Ninety-Three: I just got my first win of the season, and he's already on the shortlist for "Player of the Week"?

26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals!

This is a "25 plus 15 plus 5 plus 5" data.

In the history of the NBA, the last person to put up such a statistic was "Big Dream" Olajuwon.

He had 38 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals and 12 blocks against the Nuggets. It's even more terrifying than Woody's statistic.

But just to say that the rookie who has played such a statistic, if you add age, then this is the first time in the history of the NBA!

Created by Woody!

"Let's congratulate Woody for a fantastic night!"

"It's his night!"

"Cheers!"

At the end of the game, the live DJ broadcast the rookie record set by Woody, and the Miami who was present tonight was already made climaxed because of Woody's performance.

It's just that they didn't expect that this game was over, and Woody didn't let them go!

Another orgasm for them!

What else can I say!?

I can only say that it is good to be young!

Full of energy!

Woody has once again been interviewed on the sidelines, and three of his home sidelines interviews since the start of the new season have all rounded him up.

In front of the microphone, Woody humbly thanked his teammates, if it weren't for them, he would definitely not be able to play such statistics.

This is really not a polite word!

He was more excited than usual tonight, and probably the rest of the Heat team saw his excitement, and the rest of the game gave him a lot of opportunities to show himself.

At least a third of his 26 points came from deliberate passes from teammates.

Otherwise, he could have scored around 20 points in this game.

This is also the score that Woody can get under normal circumstances when the Heat play their own rhythm, as evidenced by the first two games with 20 points.

The teammates were really "deliberate" tonight!

As for the other statistics, there are also factors in it, such as his 5 assists......

However, history is made with a lot of coincidences, such as Chamberlain's 100 points, can you say that Chamberlain was destined to score 100 points that night?

But, if you get it, it's a cow break!

Woody tonight can also be regarded as his first "battle for fame" after entering the NBA......

"Congratulations, man, tomorrow the whole of America will be a report on your game, and it's completely popular!"

These words can be regarded as accurately hitting Woody's XP, and his "star disease" has also been greatly satisfied because of the reporter's words.

No, it's not!

This can only be regarded as an "appetizer", and tomorrow's huge volume of coverage will be the main event!

Woody couldn't wait for tomorrow's media coverage.

Although he has never lacked exposure since his debut, in high school, he was more or less suspected of rubbing the popularity of his "good brother" LeBron James, and before the draft, it was "Magic" Johnson who was playing a role, not to mention signing Adidas, not to mention, it all relied on the "gold father" to keep buying notices.

Of course, this is the treatment of the "pride of the sky", and Woody doesn't think there's anything wrong with it!

But tomorrow's huge flow will be a little different, and Woody will rely on his own court performance!

I, Woody, have come to this day, all by my own efforts!

Well......

That's kind of how it feels.

Entering the arena passage, Woody was surrounded by a group of reporters again.

A reporter asked Woody about the conflict with Xiao Si, and Woody said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell him what things he has done, and one day there will be other people doing the same thing against him!" ”

Another reporter mentioned that Woody "shook his finger" but the referee did not blow the whistle, and Woody rolled his eyes at the reporter.

If you don't blow it, you don't blow it!

And a special mention!

It's really down!

Woody said angrily, "Are you asking me to teach the referee to do things?" The boss won't pay for me! ”

The league rules that players are not free to discuss referees' decisions in front of media cameras.

Violators will be fined!

This gave Woody the opportunity to change the subject.

The reporters at the scene all chuckled and silently praised Woody's wit.

Compared to the relaxed and active atmosphere here, the atmosphere on the Suns' side is a little low.

Especially Xiao Si, his whole face stinks as if a stinky mandarin fish has been dead for three days.

Woody's performance was so explosive, playing the "unique" data of NBA rookies, which already made him lose face, and what was worse was that after playing four games in the new season, he averaged 20 plus 10 per game, and only got 17 points and 7 rebounds in this game.

The Heat seem to see that Woody is not dealing with him, and they are really lining up to make trouble for him.

He scored 8 points in the first quarter, and only scored a total of 9 points in the remaining three quarters, don't look at the score is 3 points worse than his usual score, but he averaged 47.5% shooting per game in the first 4 games, and this game can reach 33.3%!

That's a full 14.2% lower than usual!

That's it, what's even more painful is that 3 of Woody's 5 blocks were given to him......

Seriously, if it weren't for the absence of the post-game interview, the league would have fined him and he wouldn't have been in front of the media tonight.

"Amare, do you still think Woody's popularity is exaggerated? Do you think he'll be a strengthened version of you? ”

Xiao Si: ......

Same question as before the game!

In fact, Xiao Si knew that his performance today must have been very painful in the post-game interview, and he also gritted his teeth and sat here. But when the reporter's question exited, he immediately got up, walked out of the reporter's encirclement, climbed straight into the Suns bus, closed the door, and never came out.

This fine, don't save it!

I can't answer this question!

It's almost time to end the interview here, thousands of miles away, rushing to Indiana to challenge the Pacers' Cavaliers, and also played the fifth game of their new season.

Before the game, everyone was not optimistic about the Cavaliers, and everyone thought that the Pacers, who are the first in the East, could easily beat the Cavaliers.

But the result was a bit unexpected.

The Pacers did win......

91 to 90.

But they won by 1 point!

The Cavaliers, who lost all four games of the new season, battled the Pacers for the whole game and finally lost the game by one point.

Such a loss, in fact, can no longer be regarded as a loss,

What is the saying?

Defeat is still glorious!

Therefore, after the game, LeBron James was not very frustrated, but had an expression of "although I lost, I am not convinced".

He also had a very good game, shooting 44.4% from the field on 8-of-18 shooting, 50% on 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 85.7% on 6-of-7 free throws, plus five rebounds and three assists.

If you put aside the 7 turnovers and don't look at your teammates:

Boozer with a 62.5% shooting percentage and 20 plus 9 data; Ricky Davis, who had 9 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists......

Then his data is still quite C!

He's been waiting for the media to interview him and ask him how he's adjusted......

First, I tried to tell myself that I was still a high school student and that I was going to slow down; Secondly I've gotten used to this league a little bit, you know......

"LeBron, it's a pity that you still lost this game by 1 point in the end, and you couldn't get the first win of the new season, I have a news from Miami, your old high school teammate Woody got 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers tonight, this is the first time a player has played such a statistic in his rookie season, do you have anything to say about that?"

“…… More, how much? His data? ”

LeBron James's head went blank and he was silent for a long time before he responded.

His first instinct was to suspect that he had misheard.

Not 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, but ......

16 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks......

No, it's scary!

It was 6 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks......

No, it's still amazing!

In his constant denial, the reporter repeated Woody's data again: "26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals!" ”

It also shattered the last vestiges of LeBron James's illusions......

He heard it right, Woody really hit such horrible stats!

No......

What kind of monster is he?

LeBron James knows exactly how hard it is to make such a statistic!

The most important thing is that he has also played against the Suns!

How can it be so easy to deal with?

Not to mention taking such a piece of data!

He was ready to look back at the footage of the game, but he was afraid that his little heart would not be able to stand watching Woody "turn the river and the sea" there......

It wasn't until the reporter urged him twice that he came back to his senses.

"What?"

"Man, is there anything you want to say to see your old teammates play like this?"

LeBron James watched the cameraman next to the reporter hold the camera the whole time, and quickly squeezed out a smile, but if the camera had a mirror for him to see himself, he would have found that he was laughing more ugly than crying.

"You know, that's ......" he was about to say something high-sounding, but it occurred to him that the Goodman brothers had warned him not to praise the other two main rivals.

Anyone who says half of their kind words and goes to the newspaper the next day is "LeBron was convinced by XX".

So in the middle of the conversation, he choked again, paused and LeBron spoke again: "He had a really good night, congratulations on his performance, I've always been clear about that......"

Seeing that LeBron James was not fooled, the reporter asked another question: "Will this affect you?" I mean, do you feel a sense of urgency when you hear that? ”

"Huh~" LeBron subconsciously laughed. He's very good at hiding his embarrassment with laughter right now, "We're in a completely different situation, I'm glad to hear that he's playing well, but we're going through a different process and I'm slowly adapting to this league and I can tell from my performance that I'm going to get better and better!" ”

The reporter saw that the "fish" didn't bite the hook several times, and he was also anxious at the time, and directly threw out the "straight hook": "Then what do you think of your 7 mistakes tonight, and the last two key shots did not score, resulting in the team losing by one point......"

LeBron James: "......"

***

"26 plus 15 plus 5 plus 5, can you believe this guy is only 18 years old? 》

"Super Nova's super performance, the Heat defeated the Suns by 13 points at home, and Woody slashed 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, becoming the first person in history! 》

""Pick up the leak" picked up a big one! Is the Heat afraid to become the biggest winner of the 03 draft? 》

……

Early the next morning, reports about Woody's game filled the sports pages of major media.

More than 80 percent of the media reported the match as the headline on their sports pages.

The remaining 20% were placed directly on the front page of the entire newspaper.

The Miami media in particular, almost every media outlet has a large poster of Woody as the cover of the report.

This game made them feel the gears of fate starting to turn!

After the "Iron Man" Mourning, the city ushered in another owner!

Moreover, it looks more talented and phenomenal than Mo Ning back then!

TNT's morning news: "Woody played the most impressive game of his career so far, he made history and Charles Barkley is the biggest winner! ”

After this game, I'm afraid that no media thinks it's a shame for Barkley to go to the sidelines to cheer him on in a Woody jersey.

The Bleachers has updated its latest edition of the Rookie of the Year list, with Woody's name appearing at the top of the list for the first time.

This game directly allowed Woody to lead the entire "Best Rookie List"!

Carmelo Anthony was originally narrowly ahead, but now he has been driven to second place.

LeBron James was squeezed to third place, and the Cavaliers have not won a game so far, making him a little embarrassed compared to the other two people of the "Big Three".

This is not just the ranking of "The Bleachers", many media have this opinion.

In addition to ESPN......

But it's normal, after all, they gave LeBron James the general treatment of "pro-son".

Who thinks that their son is not good enough!

So......

No matter what others say, they still stubbornly rank LeBron James in the first place.

"Miami Media" looked at ESPN's appearance of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", and was also laughed at, and immediately posted a detailed comparison of the difference between LeBron James's play and Woody's game between the Cavaliers and the Suns.

Through five major events, a total of 40 small points, LeBron James will be decent.

The Cleveland media had the heart to fight back, but they couldn't say anything in the face of the Miami media's "table attack."

Actions speak louder than words.

The Goodman brothers threw the report in front of LeBron James and said to him, "Now, you know what's most important in this league, right? ”

LeBron James nodded vigorously, watching Woody lead the class of '03 with his "No. 1 rookie" level performance against the Suns, where could he not understand what is the most important thing in this league......

Data!

Data!

It's still a special data!

"We're going to put pressure on the management in the near future, and when the ball is in your hands, I hope you can also play amazing stats!"

LeBron James nodded vigorously.

Woody suddenly played such a performance, which really made him feel the pressure.

Time is running out for him......

In addition to the huge discussion caused by the data, the conflict between Woody and Xiaosi on the court also caused a lot of voices, especially domestic fans, who had a good impression of Woody one by one.

Woody's game, all his actions on the court against Marbury and Smalls, are the pictures they have been waiting for for a long time.

It's really cool!

Yao Ming was also asked by reporters about his views on this matter, and he said with a smile: "I also watched the game yesterday, and I only prepared 3 dishes before watching it, but when the game is finished, there are five or six more dishes on my table!" ”

Well......

He's got a lot of fun too!

In addition, there is another incident that has also caused a lot of discussion, Woody made another "finger shake" in last night's game, but the referee on the scene did not blow the penalty.

This surprised many people, who speculated whether Woody would become another player after Mutombo who was allowed to do "finger wagging" on the court.

It's just that the official did not give a detailed explanation, and the referee association was unanimously silent and did not express any opinion on this matter.

No response is actually the best response......

Just like in the 90s, in order to limit Michael Jordan, the league introduced the "anti-isolation law".

This rule is for the entire league, but when it comes to practice, the league turns a blind eye to other players, except for Michael Jordan, they strictly enforce this rule.

It wasn't until Michael Jordan retired for the first time and then came back that the rule was scrapped.

During this period, except for the special announcement issued by the league when the rules were first promulgated, there was no explanation of the penalty standard and the abolition of this rule.

Even if the Bulls express their displeasure a few times, it won't help!

Now it appears that the authorities are clearly planning to do it again.

With the default attitude, Woody is allowed to "shake his fingers" on the field......

"Magic" Johnson once again exerted his magical powers, and from his network, he specifically inquired about this matter, and the answer he got made Woody happy:

"The league defaults to your home stadium in Miami and you can celebrate with a finger wag, but ...... Dude, can't be on people! ”

Although there are a lot of restrictions, it is enough!

Don't forget, Woody himself has said before that this is a celebration exclusive to the Heat's home court, a view that can only be seen from the American Airlines arena.

The heat is too high to dissipate for a while and a half, but the regular season for the Heat continues.

In their next game, they played away again against the Boston Celtics.

After the retirement of the old "giants" from Bird, coupled with David Stern's targeting, they have never been able to regain their former glory, and after failing to get Tim Duncan in 97, the "Cardinal" Auerbach flicked his sleeves and left the table angrily, and Lao Tzu stopped playing!

The "spiritual pillar" of this team chose to retire, and this team also entered the next decade.

At the moment, the core of this team is Paul Pearce.

Paul Pearce was the 10th pick in the first round in '98.

As soon as he debuted, he was stabbed 11 times, but he still contributed an average of 16.5 points per game in his rookie season!

Thus began his "Boston Era".

In five years, he gradually developed into the league's top scorer with an average of 25 plus per game, and under his leadership, with the help of Antoine Walker, the Celtics once reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Of course, there's nothing to brag about, the playoffs over the years, the main focus is on the West, from 99 to the present, every year's championship is the West team that survives to the end.

Last year, the Nets swept two consecutive rounds in the East, but they entered the Finals and swept the Spurs 4-0, which made the situation of "East weak and West strong" to the most serious level of polarization.

The four simple words of the east are:

Rookies peck at each other, anyone can enter!

It is normal to enter the East Finals once in 5 years.

You must know that in the past five years, a total of 7 different teams have reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

What do you mean by that?

"Strong" is the same, "weak" is strange!

This summer, the Celtics management dismantled the "twin stars" and sent away Antoine Walker, but did not bring in any reinforcements, so the record is not very good, and the current 5 games have 2 wins and 3 losses, barely ranked 11th in the East.

Plus this team doesn't have any strong players on the inside.

So Stan Van Gundy gave the "death order": this game must be won!

This is also a kind of psychological suggestion:

Let the Heat, a rookie-dominated team, realize that their overall strength can actually be ranked in a very high position in the East.

They are also in a good position at the moment, with 4 wins and 1 loss, and they are in third place in the East, behind the Pacers and Pistons.

They also won this game very smoothly.

It's just that Woody's performance in this game was not very good, shooting 4 of 11 and shooting only 36%!

Fortunately, he seized all 3 free throw opportunities and made his score barely double-double.

He also had 12 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal......

The defensive "basic handicap" is still stable.

In terms of assists, Woody had four assists and four turnovers.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is an embarrassing 1 to 1!

"That's the price of fame!" Odom teased after the game.

Woody smiled helplessly.

In this game, the Boston Celtics made it clear that the attitude of "the game can be lost, Woody must die", and was very targeted at him on the defensive end, not giving him an easy chance to get into the basket at all.

And obviously studied his passing habits, as well as his passing path.

In this game, his pass was completely locked.

That's why his assists are on par with turnovers.

However, it is not without a price...... The result of being too focused on limiting Woody was that the Boston Celtics lost by almost 20 points in this game!

The Heat won by 101-83, an 18-point victory!

This is the most enjoyable race to win since the start of the new season.

It's no wonder that Stan Van Gundy joked after the game when talking about Woody's heavy targets in this game: "If the Heat can win every game so smoothly, then in my opinion, it is not a big deal that Woody is so limited in every game!" ”

It's hard for Woody to be alone, and it's a big family to revitalize the Heat team!

What a loving dedication this is!

Woody didn't have anything else to say except to secretly give Stan Van Gundy a middle finger to show his attitude.

Oh, by the way, or else I'm more and more eager for "Duang" his chin!

Early the next morning, LeBron James and the Cavaliers made some headlines.

Nothing else......

It was after the 6th game of the new season that the Cavaliers, who had lost 5 consecutive games at the beginning, finally got their first win of the new season!

Against the Wizards at home, they beat the Wizards by 111-98 by 13 points.

Although in this game, Darius Myers got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists; Ricky Davis had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists;

But the media led by ESPN focused on LeBron James, who had 17 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, believing that he led the Cavaliers to win this hard-won and precious first win of the season!

LeBron James also confidently said in an exclusive interview with ESPN: "This is the beginning, I believe we are on the right track, and in the future, we will get better and better!" I'm going to play with the first pick in the first round of '03, I know why I'm here, and I know I'm talented enough, so let's see what happens next! ”

But just two hours after he said confidently, the league officially announced the "Player of the Week Award" for the first week of the new season.

In the shortlist for the Eastern Conference "Player of the Week" award, Woody's name is prominently listed.

LeBron James suddenly collapsed......

No, I just got my first win of the season and he's already on the shortlist for Player of the Week?

The second one is sent.
