"From the landing of a monster from Corsica in the port of Ruan" to "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor arrives today in his faithful Paris"......

Just when Wang Shuo, who had reversed the American basketball world's evaluation of himself in just over a month, was ready to continue to write his legendary story in the NBA......

On the 8th, in Dallas, Wang Shuo and the wizards he led unfortunately encountered "Waterloo".

On this night, whenever Wang Shuo saw Dirk Nowitzki's "Prussian anti-aircraft gun" bombarding the Wizards' positions one after another on the periphery, even though 186 years had passed, he still felt that a ghost, a ghost named Napoleon Bonaparte, was always floating above him!

As the best projection power forward in NBA history, in this game, the Wizards tried various combinations but couldn't stop Nowitzki's individual strong attack.

On the one hand, Nowitzki's game was ridiculously good.

On the other hand, it was because the "mad scientist" Nelson Sr. equipped Nowitzki with a large number of "hussars" who could shoot on the flanks on this night.

In the game, Finley, Nash, Tim Hardaway and others, who hit 5 three-pointers as soon as the first quarter started, always firmly contained the Wizards' flank and provided plenty of firepower cover for Nowitzki.

On the court, in order to restrain Nowitzki, Wang Shuo could only find a new way to point out the "Prussian anti-aircraft gun" through Gasol's personal attack.

However, it is the same as in Wang Shuo's memory.

Although in the face of the Germans' almost unguarded defense, Gasol, the Spanish matador, was as brave as Zhao Yun on the Mavericks' interior line.

But on the court, after Gasol and Nowitzki's one-goal one-goal attack, the score was always dominated by the Mavericks.

Because the basketball court is ......

Three points, it's one point more than two points!

In Wang Shuo's previous life, the reason why the "sister-in-law" had been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Nowitzki for a long time......

It is precisely because of Nowitzki's scoring composition and offensive means that his scoring efficiency will be higher than Gasol with the same number of shots.

Just looking at individual hard work and scoring efficiency, it is no exaggeration to say that even Duncan can't beat Nowitzki when he is also in his prime.

In this game, Wang Shuo didn't think about using Jordan to top Nowitzki.

But after only a few rounds, Wang Shuo gave up.

Because even if Wang Shuo can invite the Buddha tonight, Novitsky, who took the "Heavenly God Descent" switch button from Boss Qiao, is likely to directly collapse Wuzhi Mountain.

In the NBA, since your superstar has a burst moment, you have to understand that your opponent will also have a burst moment.

Of course, in this game, the Wizards finally lost 108-116 on the road, which was also related to Hamilton's injury.

It's true that this Wizards team has a lot of people to play, but Hamilton's style is doomed, and the Wizards will have a hard time finding his replacement in a while.

It's like the future of Klay to the Warriors.

Without Klay's extensive running on the court and fire cover, even if you Curry smoked the ball on the court, you could only go back to the "Golden State Water Pool" to rest first, hug Green while drinking and eating beef, and then fantasize about how to enter Tokyo next year to take the emperor's throne.

Fortunately, a broken nose bone is only a minor injury among the many injuries in the NBA, and if Wang Shuo hadn't forced Hamilton to rest until January next year to return to the team out of insurance, Hamilton would have been able to return with a mask in two weeks.

In short, just like Wang Shuo said to reporters when he led the team to defeat the Spurs on the evening of the 6th, this Wizards can win and even more afford to lose.

What's more, in the long season of the NBA, 82 wins are simply not possible?

Wang Shuo knew very well early on that the Wizards' winning streak would always be broken.

So compared to the loss, Wang Shuo is more concerned about the problems that the team has exposed on the court because of Hamilton's injury in this loss to the Mavericks.

After the game, at the press conference, Wang Shuo praised Nowitzki, who scored 40 points in this game.

"I don't understand what it takes for Dirk to take off the hat he wears all the time on his head called 'Soft Egg'.

Dirk is definitely one of the best power forwards in the league today, and he doesn't need to beat his chest or scream to tear through the opposition's defense with ease.

I love his style of play and I'm sure one day he'll prove that he deserves the love that the Dallas fans love him. ”

Wang Shuo knew that in 2001, Novitsky was at most a "Prussian anti-aircraft gun", but in a few years, when he evolved into the "Germanic chariot" that could easily cross the Ardennes Forest, then it would be ......

Don't you see, in Wang Shuo's memory of the finals of the 10/11 season, how did the "Emperor Majesty", who brought his talent to Miami at that time, pay tribute to World War II France in that round of finals?

On the Mavericks' side, when the old Nelson learned about Wang Shuo's evaluation of Nowitzki, he always felt that Wang Shuo's style was very similar to his old Nelson also joked: "There are always people who say that Wang doesn't understand the ball, but in my opinion, if he doesn't understand the ball, then in the NBA, no one understands the ball." (Riley: ??? ）

As one of the few offensive coaches in the NBA in this era, Nelson Sr. usually watched the games of the Wizards, also coached by offensive coach Wang Shuo, this season.

In addition, unlike those NBA general managers and head coaches who are only covetous of the Chinese market, the Nelson father and son, who have been to China many times, have a real Chinese complex.

For example, I asked Wang Shuo to have supper with him tonight, and Wang Zhizhi, who is currently working for Mavericks.

During Wang Zhizhi's tenure with the Mavericks, Nelson Jr. always regarded Wang Zhizhi as his brother.

Even in the future, if it weren't for a major injury suffered by a certain "four-character foreign aid", Nelson Jr. would have wanted to bring his talent to Dallas.

Therefore, it is not so much that on this night, the old Nelson and Wang Shuo came to the press conference to blow each other, it is better to say that these two people are heroes and cherish heroes.

After all, the result of this game aside......

From the perspective of ornamentation, this high-quality offensive battle between the Wizards and the Mavericks on this night will definitely become one of the classic battles in the NBA this season.

……

After the press conference, according to the agreement, Wang Shuo met Wang Zhizhi, who had not been removed from the national team at this time, in the parking lot.

As a foreign national in the history of the NBA and the first Chinese coach in history, Wang Zhizhi has heard the name of Wang Shuo's "madman" early on.

But until tonight's game began, Wang Zhizhi, who had only seen Wang Shuo on TV and in newspapers, really never dreamed that the first foreign coach in NBA history would be so young...... And excellent!

Unlike Wang Shuo, who suffers from social, although he has been in the United States for two years, Wang Zhizhi is obviously still a shy boy at this time.

Fortunately, looking at Wang Zhizhi, who didn't know how to continue the topic after greeting him, Wang Shuo quickly broke the embarrassment, patted him on the back and smiled: "You made me miserable tonight, and finally had the opportunity to show your hand in front of your hometown fathers, but the two three-pointers you threw in the third quarter directly extinguished our hope of turning defeat into victory." ”

In the game that just ended, Wang Zhizhi, who came off the bench as Nowitzki, only played 10 minutes, made 2 of 5 shots, and got 6 points and 2 rebounds.

Although the two three-pointers he threw in a row in the third quarter of the game did help the Mavericks block the counterattack horn that the Wizards had blown at that time to a certain extent, Wang Shuo's praise just now was obviously giving Wang Zhizhi face.

Hearing this, after smiling at Wang Shuo a little shyly, Wang Zhizhi also shouted Brother Shuo very sensibly.

In this regard, he suddenly reacted, and Wang Shuo, who had grown a lot in his life, suddenly became uncomfortable.

In a foreign country, Wang Zhizhi, who was finally fortunate to meet Wang Shuo tonight, seemed to have met a relative, and after opening the chatterbox, he quickly relaxed completely.

The two chatted all the way and talked about a lot of interesting things that happened to them in the NBA.

However, there is one thing that Wang Zhizhi has always been puzzled about.

That is, it is obviously not a household name in the United States, at least he can be called the notorious Wang Shuo, and his current popularity in China is not as high as his.

As for Wang Zhizhi's doubts, Wang Shuo can be regarded as understanding why this product will be expelled from the national team next year.

Wake up!

Although it is true that Wang Shuo, who was an orphan in this life, chose Chinese nationality at the age of 18 at the suggestion of his adoptive father, what does his resume in this life have to do with the Chinese Basketball Association?

According to common sense, as the first foreign coach in the history of the NBA, Wang Shuo's deeds should indeed be worthy of being featured in the domestic media.

But here's the problem, you Wang Shuo had nothing to do with me before he became famous, and after he became famous, he never came to the Basketball Association to worship the dock and recognize his eldest brother.

I didn't give away the cigarette and didn't buy it......

Why do we spend the energy and resources to publicize and report on you?

And besides, what if you're a spy sent by the Eagle Family?

At this time in 2001, the international situation was unpredictable, Wang Shuo knew that he would not be regarded as his own by the Basketball Association, and only when Xiaoyao entered the NBA next year and the development of the Internet would his popularity in China increase.

Or he can continue to work hard and directly lead the Wizards to win the NBA championship this season.

In short, Wang Shuo doesn't care and doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters of Chinese basketball.

It has nothing to do with his outlook on life, his values, his worldview.

But Wang Shuo, who is very clear about the intricate relationships, factions, and forces of all parties, doesn't have the guts or the background to do.

In this life, Wang Shuo just wants to realize the dream he has always had.

That's ......

He has the ability to become the godfather of the NBA!

As for domestic popularity......

He Wang Shuo doesn't want to be a traffic star in the fan circle, why do you want such a high reputation?

And compared to being famous in the Eagle family, being famous in the rabbit family is the scariest thing, right?

Try to think about it, Wang Shuo wanted to go out for a supper when he returned to China in the future, but as soon as he went out, he was blocked by a group of fierce men and asked him for an autograph, how will he return to China in the future?

Plus he is so handsome, in case he is robbed by a group of young ladies, who do you think he should talk to at that time?

Looking at Wang Zhizhi, who was still too young at the moment, Wang Shuo changed the topic after smiling: "After this season, what are your plans?" ”

Next summer, Wang Zhizhi's contract with Maverick will expire, so looking for Wang Shuo for supper tonight, Wang Zhizhi really thought about asking Wang Shuo for a little help.

"I want to try a different team." Wang Zhizhi said to Wang Shuo.

"Why? Aren't you playing pretty well in the Mavericks right now? Wang Shuo deliberately pretended to be surprised and said.

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi pursed his lips and said, "What's good?" I play for about ten minutes per game, and sometimes I can't even play. ”

Looking at Wang Zhizhi with an innocent face, Wang Shuo suddenly felt that Wang Zhizhi at this moment had indeed not experienced the beating from reality.

But it's also ......

After all, Dazhi at this time, in the early stage of his career, he can't be described as "the proud son of heaven", it is simply a horse and a flat river, seeing God and killing God.

If you have nothing to do, you can beat up a little Yao by the way to cheer up the fans of the Bayi team.

Wang Shuo knows that from the first person in the CBA to the water cooler manager in the NBA, it is normal for Wang Zhizhi to be unable to adapt to this psychological gap for a while.

Because at this time, most fans in China have not yet established a correct understanding of the NBA.

It's even a bad thing to say.

Chinese fans in the first decade of the 21st century are somewhat "in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings".

So much so that young fans in the second and third decades of the 21st century, when listening to the stories told by old fans, only feel as if they are listening to others tell fantasy novels.

In the car, Wang Shuo did not rush to pour cold water on Wang Zhizhi, but patiently listened to his complaints.

"Brother Shuo, I ask you seriously...... If the Bayi team had let me play in the NBA earlier, do you think I could replace Nowitzki? ”

Looking at Wang Zhizhi with a serious face, Wang Shuo said, "It's a pity, I can't." ”

Maybe the truth is always so heart-wrenching.....

But Wang Shuo knew it well......

If he didn't break Wang Zhizhi's heart at this moment, then he wouldn't be able to go to the next level in the future.
