Chapter 193: Let's Add Woody's Name
Woody's words were almost shouted out into the audience.
The exuberant Heat fans also responded to Woody's shouts with their shouts.
The atmosphere of the scene is called a "fiery youth".
Woody's performance tonight is definitely qualified to shout such words.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Woody, who finished shouting, became more full of offensive desire, doing whatever he wanted under the Cavaliers' basket, making the Cavaliers' basket his own back garden.
The current big Z mainly plays more of a role on the offensive end.
His basket skills are still abundant.
There's only so much you can do on the defensive end.
There is no more obvious effect than compressing the space.
But he didn't just compress Woody's offensive space, but also LeBron James's offensive space.
Even, when the Heat attacked, when Haslem, who has the ability to shoot from mid-range, went to the elbow area or the horns, he had to follow out, so that more often than not, he could only compress LeBron's offensive space under the basket.
After all, this guy's offensive means outside the "three-second zone" are really limited.
And he can't get the ball, and his sense of presence is further reduced.
In terms of how Woody feels about playing against the Cavaliers so many times, seriously, Big Z really doesn't fit his former teammates.
What LeBron James needs more is a player like him who can "eat cake", can work at height, and can also actively complement the defense on the defensive end.
To put it bluntly, LeBron only learned how to attack with the ball in his four years of high school, he didn't know how to share the ball, and he didn't know what to do when he didn't have the ball.
Unless he is equipped with more powerful teammates, Woody feels that it will be really difficult for this Cavaliers to make the playoffs.
LeBron James' average per game stats are often not directly related to whether the team wins or not.
If you let a 70-year-old lady play 40 minutes a night, she'll get something out of it.
Because no team can maintain a full fighting spirit for 48 minutes, there will always be a period when there will be ups and downs in form.
Even Michael Jordan will always be in such a situation.
This gives a player like LeBron James the opportunity to get stats on the court.
Otherwise, it's hard to explain why the team can't make the playoffs with such comprehensive statistics.
In the case of this year's league, this is the only example.
Of course, he doesn't care what LeBron James is going on, all he has to do now is continue to dominate the basket and win this game beautifully.
Neither Big Z nor Drew Gooden has the ability to intercept Woody under the basket.
LeBron James hurts even more this time.
Originally, he thought that Woody was deliberately brushing high scores on him, but he didn't expect that this guy was holding back his strength and was not coming at him, but competing with the fans of the Heat.
Do you know that we are the "Twin Stars of St. Mary"?
Is there no me in the eyes so soon?
Is it so great to be in the Eastern Conference Finals once?
His desire to attack began to grow strong.
It's just that......
Gerard Wallace is also getting more and more excited, and his defensive intensity can be said to be increasing unabated, not giving him a little respite at all.
Even in the final four minutes of the game, Gerrard maintained a high intensity of close defence.
"Phew!"
It was also at this time, with a violent dunk from Woody.
The cheers flooded the arena directly.
After this goal, Woody's score in this game officially came to 51 points!
It was the first time in his career that he scored 50 points in a single game.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout to celebrate this career milestone.
Shaq O'Neal, dressed in a suit, took the initiative to come over and give Woody a hug: "Congratulations, entering the 50-point club!" ”
50 points per game, which is a watershed number in the NBA.
Those who can score this point in a single game, except for some players who eat dumplings very occasionally, are all super scorers in this league.
It can be said that the 50-point performance in a single game is not necessarily the league's supergiant, but the supergiant must have a 50-point performance in a single game.
This is tough for some insiders, after all, they can only chisel for 2 points and 1 point.
But it turns out that even if it's just so chiseled, as long as you are a supermodel in all aspects, you can score 50 points in a single game.
In order to prove this, Shaq O'Neal specially watched 60 points in a single game on his "birthday night"!
Now Woody has scored 51 points in a single game in order to prove that this team is worth watching, and it is also a "big explosion".
And not just 51 points, because the game is not over yet.
But Stan Van Gundy opted to replace Woody after this timeout.
There were constant cheers for Woody, but that didn't make Stan Van Gundy change his mind, and he put Woody on the sidelines.
With the Heat already leading by 18 points, there are four minutes left in the game.
In fact, Stan Van Gundy was waiting for that time to give Woody the first 50 points of his career, and then replace him.
However, after he was replaced, the seal on LeBron James was loosened.
It's really hard to limit LeBron with just a hot-blooded Gerald Wallace.
But......
With 18 points trailing and 4 minutes to go, he scored 2 points on the layup again and again......
Well, it's not a good evaluation anyway.
So much so that LeBron James on the court was unstoppable, scoring 8 points in 3 minutes, but the commentator who played him on the commentary bench, except for Cleveland's sports station, the other commentators chose to continue to talk about Woody's 51 points in a single game!
While LeBron scored eight points in a row, the Heat also scored.
Although the speed of scoring is not as fast as LeBron's, the difference of 18 points is here.
In the last 2 minutes, Alston and Jones took turns to press the attacking time.
In the end, the game was over, and despite LeBron's fierce attack, the Cavaliers still lost the game by a margin of 91-103, 12 points.
LeBron James scored 27 points in the final minute with a "crazy" score, in addition to 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Compared with the usual performance, there is not much difference.
Even this game is the most luxurious data he has obtained since so many encounters with Woody.
It's a pity......
Woody's stats are far more luxurious than his.
Left the court in the last 4 minutes of the game, played 38 minutes, and scored 51 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals!
If LeBron James's performance is already at the "supergiant" level, then Woody is a "god" level even higher than him!
Woody crushes LeBron again!
At the same time, the career winning streak against the Cavaliers has also reached 5 consecutive wins.
LeBron James continues his career-winning streak against Woody.
"It's better for this kid to slip away!"
When the whistle blew, Woody was really heading in the direction of LeBron James, but he could only watch his back as he left quickly.
At times like these, Woody can always feel the amazing explosiveness and speed of his former teammate!
Post-match interviews.
LeBron James: "I didn't have any problems playing, at least in my opinion, and the reason the team lost was because it didn't limit Woody. I know his quality very well, he's just so unstoppable and of course there are reasons why we didn't target him effectively, we missed a good chance, it's a frustrating situation, but the league goes on and we have to look at our next game. ”
The reporter asked, "Aren't you going to congratulate Woody on scoring his first 50 points of his career tonight?" ”
LeBron James forced a smile and then said, "Of course, I will definitely congratulate him, but this is our private matter!" ”
In fact, he is a little unhappy, because one of the few areas where he presses Woody is the highest single-game score in his career.
Now his few aspects have become even fewer......
Originally, LeBron was just dealing with reporters, but thinking that he had already said such things in front of the media, he finally took out his phone and sent a congratulatory text message to Woody.
Because he wasn't sure if Woody would suddenly break the news that he hadn't sent the text after seeing the content of his interview.
Others may not do it, but Woody, in his opinion, certainly will.
The character of this man is real......
Cheap!
But that's what LeBron is worried about.
It should be difficult for Woody to see the news about him the next day, because ......
Sports media across the United States have been swept up by Woody's personal performance!
After all, 51 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals have not been played by an interior player for a long time.
In his last one was his teammate, Shaq O'Neal, with an even more exaggerated 60 points and 23 rebounds!
Then there was Tim Duncan's 51 points and 13 rebounds in '01.
After entering 00 years, Woody's data should be the most explosive data among interior players after these two people!
And Woody's age when he played this data is 19 years and 6 months!
It's a lot scarier than Shaq O'Neal and Tim Duncan......
"There is no doubt that this kid will be the representative of the next era in the inner line, and he is very likely to rule an era for longer than I do!" Shaq O'Neal expressed his thoughts on Woody's explosive performance in an interview with The Miami Times.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dwyane Wade said: "He's the kind of teammate who makes you feel like there's a huge gap between you and him every now and then, and he can conquer everyone with his performance even if he doesn't speak, and the American Airlines arena will be full every night, and you'll find out about that!" ”
Wade's remarks also caused heated discussions in Miami.
A bunch of Woody's die-hard fans took to the streets to complain about ignoring Woody in the city:
"We already have probably the greatest player of the first decade of this century, why can't we let him see our passion for him!"
"Don't let Miami be a sad place for Woody, we're having our very own Michael Jordan!"
"We need to put away our snubbing so that we don't regret it in the future!"
……
In fact, when a player openly shouts "I'm the reason why you come to the arena to watch the game", it is easy to be ridiculed by the crowd, especially in such a city where the basketball atmosphere is not very strong, especially if you are only a sophomore, and you did not lead the team to the finals, let alone the championship.
It's easy to get the impression that you're "arrogant".
On the contrary, it will affect the image of the team.
But after Woody's shouting, many Heat fans began to reflect on their attitude.
The reason is very simple, it is Woody's explosive performance last night.
"Sports Illustrated" temporarily changed the cover, replacing the set of pictures taken for Woody with the "Pistons Five Tigers" that had been communicated and filmed, with the text: "The new overlord of the NBA!" ”
How do you describe the influence of Sports Illustrated?
Let's put it this way, the first person to shout the slogan "The Chosen One" to LeBron James was none other than Sports Illustrated.
It was also an article in Sports Illustrated that led to the famous high school student LeBron.
It's just that after that, in just a few years, the target of Sports Illustrated's praise has been changed to someone else.
As it turned out, they weren't wrong in their vision.
LeBron is indeed the "chosen one".
In his second season in the league, he averaged 27 plus 7 plus 7 per game.
He's only 19 years old!
But compared to Woody, he always felt like something was missing.
Now Woody has made everyone understand with this game, and that is three words:
Dominance!
LeBron's performance was really good, but there were very few moments when he could make an impact on the game.
He does it most of the time, but in the moments he needs help far more than usual!
And Woody, his ability to attack is impressive,
Whether it's missing the front N shot when playing the Pistons, the mid-range that he throws continuously at critical moments, or the shouting of a man on the inside of the Cavaliers in yesterday's game, this is a demonstration of his dominance.
He won most of the games he played well!
And in most of LeBron James' good games, one thing must be admitted, LeBron James's performance is very stable, he can always get such and such statistics after a game, which is gorgeous, but the team is only ranked ninth and tenth in the East......
Just like last season......
That's telling.
Anyway, the huge progress he has made, and it hasn't made the Cavaliers better, is one of the things that illustrates.
Woody has shown his dominance, and it's not just Sports Illustrated that thinks so.
Los Angeles Times: "Now there are two sharks in Miami!" ”
"The Bleachers": "Pat Riley is really more suitable to stay in the position of general manager, which reduces the hidden dangers of the Heat team to 0%!" ”
ESPN even took a direct sip of poisoned milk: "It's time to overturn Steve Nash's remarks that locked up the regular season MVP, let's add Woody's name!" ”
