Chapter 113: Rematch, Here It Is
The game between the Heat and the Nets also caused a lot of noise the next day.
Kenyon Martin got Woody in the game to clean up.
The data is far from perfect.
Woody jumped on the spot and dunked Kenyon Martin's ball, which was also on the NBA's "Top 5 Shots of the Day" and ranked first.
The perverted ability to continue bouncing once again stunned all NBA fans.
In fact, if it weren't for Kenyon Martin's lack of fame, Woody would have been on the list for both dunks.
Even out of 5 blocks, he can be on the list twice.
As a result, he only made the list of this one dunk ball!
Kenyan Martin's rhetoric that "I should be ahead of Woody as an All-Star starter in the East" has now become a laughing stock in many people's mouths.
With this "negative teaching material", it can be expected that for the time being, it is impossible for anyone to jump out and yell at Woody again.
No matter how weak Kenyan Martin is, he is also a first-class interior player, and he is really not a cat or a dog.
Anyway, in the East, there are really few No. 4 positions who dare to say that they will definitely win Kenyon Martin.
The league's "Big Four" are: Chris Webb, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Nowitzki......
All four were in the west.
How else to say that the pattern of the alliance is "strong in the west and weak in the east"!
Woody wasn't worried.
He was very satisfied with the result of the third upgrade, and he didn't think about the achievement points at all for the time being.
The Heat continued their regular season schedule as Woody practiced his mid-range jumper.
I don't know if it's good enough potential, Woody always feels that he has been getting more and more accurate recently.
Although looking at his system panel, there is no change in the ability value of mid-range, but Woody is indeed more confident when he shoots......
On Jan. 25, the league announced the results of the third week of the All-Star starting vote.
Woody continues to be in second place among Eastern Conference forwards.
and the third O'Neill opened a gap of almost 500,000.
This gap......
In fact, it was enough for Woody to lock up the Eastern Conference All-Star starter.
Because O'Neill Jr. has only 1.34 million votes so far, of which he has the highest number of votes in the second round, with a total of 450,000 votes!
In other words, even if O'Neal Jr.'s fourth-round votes can catch up with his highest round votes, and Woody can't get a vote in the fourth, then he won't be able to catch up with the already different votes with Woody.
Many reporters congratulated Woody in advance.
Woody wasn't fooled, and until the last minute, who knows what the outcome would be?
It's better to be on the safe side!
However, his "star disease" has been greatly satisfied.
"All-Star Player" ......
I didn't expect that in his first season in the league, he was about to become an All-Star!
January 26th.
Cleveland.
The Cavaliers sat at home and won against the Clippers.
This victory is the third in their last five matches in all competitions.
In other words, the Cavaliers' win rate has exceeded 50% in recent times!
It's something that only the top four teams in the East can do.
LeBron James had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block tonight.
This is the third time in his last five games that he has scored 20 points in a single game!
Almost three months into the league, LeBron James is finally struggling to adapt to the league.
Without looking at the shooting percentage, his stats are already at the level of an All-Star player.
When the whistle blew tonight, LeBron James walked to the sidelines with a smile on his face and consciously accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines.
The cheers of the audience came and went, and the sound was in the ears, which made LeBron's heart very comfortable.
He was also ready to say modestly in the reporter's question: "My performance has been better recently, but I believe that I will get better and better, Woody is going to be an All-Star starter, and I am very happy for him, we all know how enthusiastic the Chinese fans are......
Well......
Since his performance has been getting better and better, LeBron James's mentality has suddenly calmed down a lot, and even in the face of Woody-related problems, he is no longer as eager as before.
"The next game, the Cavaliers are going to Miami, this will be your second game against Woody this season, your first meeting in November, you haven't played very well, you have been playing very well lately, do you think you will continue that form in the next game?"
LeBron James' expression froze suddenly.
He was ready to answer what he considered to be the toughest "All-Star starter" question.
He knew there must be a lot of media waiting to make a big fuss about it, and he showed that he was not as popular as Woody by saying that Woody was going to be selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, and he lost to Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady by a large number of votes in the voting.
To further illustrate, he hasn't been as good as Woody so far in his rookie season.
And the answer he was ready to answer was to push all this onto the Chinese fans.
That's what he thinks too.
Give me such a big Chinese market, I can't get into the All-Star starter?
How could it be a thing!
So there's a little bit of a gap between me and him, but it's not as big as it was in this All-Star starting vote.
Don't you see how I've been getting better lately?
I believe that this gap will gradually narrow!
He is confident that such an answer can respond well.
But as a result, the host asked not the "most difficult" question he thought at all!
But......
Is it going to happen again?
Is it so fast?
That's not right!
I remember after the last game, I watched the schedule, and it will take at least a month to meet!
How did a month go by so quickly!
The calmness and confidence on LeBron James' face disappeared in an instant.
He was a little scared......
It's no wonder that he would react like this.
How miserable was his first encounter with Woody that made the latter clean up?
That was still the home court of the Cavaliers, and this time it was going to Miami, which was Woody's home court, and this ......
LeBron James has been getting better and better lately, and people are more confident, if there is a big wave at this time. He couldn't imagine it.
I didn't expect the reporter's first question at all to be this, LeBron hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.
The reporter asked again: "Do you think you can play better against Woody this time?" ”
Yes, of course......
"Can ......"
LeBron hesitated, but in the end he hit the nail on the head and gave an affirmative answer.
"We're getting better and better, and I'm confident that my teammates will give 12 points when they meet the Heat again, and try to win this game, Woody is one of the best rookies in our class, and the Heat are currently the third team in the East, and I'm sure we're going to win!"
At the end of the day, LeBron James remembered the Heat's recent situation.
They have won 1 of their last 4 matches.
The form of the whole team has fluctuated greatly.
It has to do with the injuries the Heat have suffered.
Odom has suffered a pinky injury and has not played in the last three games.
On the bench, Caron Butler also suffered a minor ankle sprain and watched two games on the wall.
But the teams the Heat have encountered recently are very strong.
In their first game with the Nets, they met the Timberwolves, who are currently No. 1 in the West.
Speaking of which, this is the biggest "dark horse" of the league this year.
More than the Heat, it was even more unexpected than others.
Last summer, the management of the Timberwolves made several trades, but their trade results were a trade for the Clippers for the "Sugar Man", for the Bucks for the "alien" Cassell, who they didn't want, and for the "Crazy Man" from New York......
What do these players say!
In a team, it is a bird that comes out, a bucket that fills food, a stick that stirs, and a horse that is a black herd......
No one expected that this group of shrimp soldiers and crabs would get together and play any role!
Even Minnesota's media reporters themselves admit that it has been another disappointing year.
Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Kevin Garnett, after the run-in of the first month of the new season, they gradually played a role from December, and these shrimp soldiers and crabs will gradually play the role of leading sheep, agile leopards, and warlike wolves.
Even the management of the Timberwolves didn't expect that these people would get together and become the first in the West!
Timberwolves management: Oh, that's how this team was built!
Then they secured the first position in the West.
The Heat team, which lacked soldiers and major generals, encountered such a group of imposing guys, and they were naturally eaten alive.
Especially Woody is at a clear disadvantage against Kevin Garnett.
As "Little Garnett", Woody finally saw "Real Garnett" leave.
Woody had a nickname in high school called "From One to Five", and in his opinion, Garnett is the real "From One to Five".
Whether it's inside defense or outside defense, he does a very good job.
From the opening to the end of Kevin Garnett, Woody didn't get anything cheap and was suppressed all the time.
The final stats were only 11 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
It can be said that he has not had such "embarrassing" data for a long time.
However, Woody himself is very excited, because he sees from Kevin Garnett that he will be at the top of the game in the future.
No......
He could be even better than Kevin Garnett!
Not to mention the rest, the top defense and card position under this basket, as well as the ability to fight when playing back...... In these aspects, Woody feels that he will definitely be better than Kevin Garnett in the future.
In terms of static talent, the gap between him and Kevin Garnett is a bit big.
Kevin Garnett's official height is 2.11m.
But judging by Woody's feelings, he shouldn't be just 2.11m.
In a previous interview with reporters, Kevin Garnett once said that he did not stand up straight when measuring his height in order to avoid playing the number five position. In tonight's fight, Woody recognized the term "Wolf King".
Kevin Garnett's final stats are also much better than him.
He had a total of 25 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
It's not much different from his usual life.
Woody is not discouraged, and this season's Kevin Garnett would have been the biggest candidate for the regular season MVP. He's a good rookie, but when compared to a regular season MVP-caliber player, that's a bit far off.
This loss was followed by losses to the Sacramento Kings and Mavericks.
The loss to the Mavericks was a bit of an injustice.
Although the Mavericks are only sixth in the West, they have the same record as the Heat, who are third in the East.
So this season's form is not as big as the team rankings suggest.
But the Heat were the better side from the start.
All of the Mavericks' trades last summer were made by owner Mark Cuban.
He came up with a very genius idea and through a trade, he gathered the starting lineup of Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Josh Howard, Antoine Walker, Dirk Nowitzki......
This lineup is about five ball carriers, and anyone who holds the ball can attack by himself!
It's crazy......
The crazy result is that five people don't know how to play with the ball, and the offensive tactical system is very chaotic.
As for the defensive end......
Even if you are a cloud fan who doesn't know much about football, when you see this lineup, you can see that the defense of these five people can't be said to be nothing, only to be said to be nothing.
The Heat got off to a smooth start and opened a 10-point gap at the end of the first half.
But what I didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second half, these guys were like they suddenly opened, and all kinds of unreasonable three-point goals drilled into the Heat team's basket.
In the end, in the third quarter alone, they threw in eight three-pointers and scored 33 points in a single quarter.
The Heat tried their best to resist, the Mavericks scored all the goals they should have scored, and the Heat still led by 2 points in the final moments, but Finley killed the Heat with a three-pointer one step away from the halfway line on the final shot.
100 to 99!
The Mavericks escaped the loss by 1 point on their home court.
The Heat, on the other hand, suffered a bitter third loss in their last four games, leaving Dallas and returning to Miami.
Fortunately, after playing the Mavericks, Odom and the others all returned from injury.
Feeling aggrieved, they are ready to vent their grievances in the next game.
On January 28, the Heat played their penultimate game in January.
They will face ......
Cleveland Cavaliers!
Woody's rematch with LeBron James this season, it's coming!
"Listen, guys, we've got to win this game, not just to win, but to win really beautifully!"
Stan Van Gundy does the pre-game mobilization the day before the race.
Although we have lost three of the last four games, it is because of injuries, which is understandable.
But after losing these three games, their record is only one win ahead of the Pistons, who are fourth in the East.
If you don't win, you will fall to fourth place in the East.
Moreover, they defeated the Cavaliers by 58 points last time, and it was easy to win, and if it is too difficult to win this time, it is easy to add mental baggage to everyone, so be sure to win simply!
