Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 176 Welcome to G2 Again
There are 5.3 seconds left in the time. If Love makes a free throw, it basically means the end of the game.

Amid the cheers of more than 2 spectators, Love walked to the free throw line.

"Hey, crybaby, you know, the outcome of this game is all determined by your free throws! But you will definitely miss it!"

Noah spouts trash talk, trying to influence Love's mood.

But it caused Wu Di's death stare.

Nuoah instantly thought of the situation where he was detained by Wu Di today, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and hurriedly silenced.

But after another thought, Wu Di was just a rookie, and Noah began to think about it endlessly.

Love was still affected.

His face was tense, and he couldn't restrain his inner anxiety, but he still took a deep breath, and after a couple of dribbles, he aimed at the basket and shot!

Bang!
Accompanied by a huge sigh from the audience, the basketball hit the basket's neck!
Le Fu looked around, his face full of disappointment.

On Noah's face, there was an expression of a villain's success:
"I knew it, I knew you would miss the penalty! Haha, the crybaby is too low!"

Wu Di stepped forward and gave Love a high five:

"It doesn't matter, how proud that clown is now, how frustrated he was when we won the series!"

"Compared with mentality, ordinary training can determine your free throw percentage more. You can definitely make the next free throw!"

Listening to what he said, Love seemed to have found a pillar to rely on again. In the Cavaliers, he trained the hardest besides Wu Di, and only then did he have a much more solid basic skill than Jordan.

He took a deep breath again, aimed at the basket and shot!
"Your whole team are clowns..."

Noah just came to his senses, and just started thinking about it, but it stopped abruptly!

Because the basketball has passed through the basket!

86-90!

With 5.3 seconds left, the Bulls have used up all the timeouts, but they haven't given up yet.

Noah served from the bottom line, Ross ran around Parker, and after receiving the ball, Jamison came to defend him. In desperation, he had to pass the ball!
Brewer received it and made a three-pointer!

Bang!
beep!
With the sound of the final whistle, the Bulls missed the last attack, and the Cavaliers won the first victory in the series!
Quicken Loans Center arena instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy!
A system prompt sounded in Wu Di's mind:

【叮！检测到本场宿主获得40分8篮板8助攻3盖帽1抢断的数据，财富值到账，（40+8+8+3+1）*20000*2^3=9600000美刀！】

The victory of a game directly earned Wu Di 960 million dollars!

Is this the charm of the playoffs?

"Hmph, the score is only 4 points away, but you guys are lucky, just wait to be cleaned up!"

When high-fiving, Noah was still stubborn.

"Clown, when we win the game 0-4, you will cry!"

Wu Di patted him on the shoulder hard, and responded with a sneer.

After the game, Scott took Wu Di, Jordan Jr. and Love to the press conference.

An NBC black beauty reporter was the first to ask:
"Mr. Wang, the youngest scorer in history, how does it feel to score 40 points again?"

Wu Di picked up the microphone and said with a smile:

"Actually, I don't feel much. I'm used to it. Don't you guys?"

The audience roared with laughter instantly. Indeed, for Wu Di, who averaged 35+ per game in the regular season, 40 points is nothing but commonplace.

But this is a much more defensive playoffs!
And the Cavaliers' opponent is the Bulls, one of the best defensive teams in the league!

A reporter from the Ohio Pravda asked:

"The current basketball emperor, when are you going to surpass the Magician's rookie playoff scoring record of 42 points?"

Wu Di spread his hands and replied:

"Who knows, it's becoming more and more difficult to break the record now. You all know that it has nothing to do with the opponent. The main reason is that my teammates are getting stronger!"

Everyone laughed again. Indeed, although Wu Di's offensive ability is the only one in the Cavaliers team, he is not like Anthony who only exerts strength on offense after all. He also needs to take care of defense.

With such a distribution of physical strength, if he wants to maintain an overall hit rate of more than 50%, it is destined to be impossible to play a lone wolf.

The reporters nodded after laughing. The gold content of Wu Di's style of play is too high!

Anyone who has watched the actual game of the Cavaliers can understand that many of Wu Di's points are taken from the pot, or scored when the score is tight.

Now if there are trolls on the Internet who question him about swiping data, it is definitely some fanatical fan group with ulterior motives.

But having said that, the growth and performance of the Cavaliers players are basically worthy of Wu Di's distribution of the ball.

In this game, besides Wu Di, the Cavaliers also had three players who scored in double figures, Jordan Jr. with 13 points, Jamison with 11 points, and Davis with 10 points, but Davis was injured...

Everyone looked at coach Scott. They wanted to know how long Davis' injury would last, but they still had a lot of questions and wanted to ask Wu Di...

Another beautiful reporter from the Cleveland Cable Network saw that everyone was hesitating, and immediately asked Wu Di:
"Slam dunk artist, I saw you interacting frequently with Noah on the court, can you share with us what you have said?"

Wu Di smiled and shook his head:
"That guy has such a bad mouth, I just said something fair for Cleveland!"

The female reporter showed starry eyes in an instant. Noah has publicly slandered Cleveland more than once or twice. He played for the University of Florida in college. The correct choice made people in Cleveland and even Ohio very upset, and now someone finally supports Cleveland!
The female reporter's question once again opened up everyone's chatterbox:
"Wu, the Cavaliers played at home in this game, but it was very difficult. What do you think is the problem?"

"The ruler of Quicken Loans Arena, what do you think is the probability of winning the next game?"

"Wu, what prompted you to participate in fan activities during the break in the third quarter? Now that you've made the shot, what if Xiao Hua doesn't donate money?"

……

There were a lot of questions this time. After Wu Di selected two similar questions to answer before, the reporters turned to Scott:

"Coach Scott, can you tell us about Davis' injury? He is the Cavaliers' starting point guard. How much do you think his absence will affect the team?"

Scott touched his beard and teased:
"I want to ask Wu Di to answer this question!"

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and Scott spread his hands and said seriously:

"The MRI test results have not yet come out, and it is difficult for the team doctor to judge. Once the diagnosis results come out, we will update the injury report as soon as possible..."

"Davis's organizational skills and experience in the playoffs are irreplaceable for the Cavaliers. I condemn the behavior of the Bulls player Noah. It is a very dangerous move and may even destroy the Davis career!"

The reporters nodded one after another. It's time for a wave of publicity. The alliance must be put under pressure. The Cavaliers' rotation lineup is already weak and cannot withstand such a toss.

After another round of questions, the reporters turned their attention to Jordan and Love:
"DeAndre, you are in a very good state in this game. Can you share with us what made you improve so much?"

Little Jordan laughed loudly and said:

"Hahaha playing with our boss, it's hard not to improve. He is like a banner. Such a character can inspire your fighting spirit on the court and spur your training off the court. If you have such a person as a teammate, you will also Can play in the NBA!"

"Of course, this must be inseparable from the credit of Scott's head coach. He empowered us a lot on the court, and he will take care of all aspects of us off the court. He is a very good parent..."

Scott quipped:

"Hey, no matter how much you flatter, it can't reduce your free throw training after the game!"

Little Jordan immediately responded:

"okay bye!"

The scene suddenly burst into laughter again.

"Kevin, we noticed something unexpected happened to you in the fourth quarter. What was it?"

The reporter of the "Chicago Sun-Times" asked aloud. In order to prevent Love from deliberately avoiding this question, he deliberately softened the tone of the question.

Le Fu pursed his lips. Seeing this, Scott took the microphone to help him avoid:

"Nothing unexpected, Love's last penalty today says it all, next question!"

However, another ill-intentioned "Miami Herald" reporter asked directly:

"Kevin, you seemed to be crying at that time, what caused..."

Scott frowned. The two reporters obviously wanted to destroy the atmosphere in the Cavaliers team by asking this question!

But just as he wanted to go back, Le Fu waved his hand and responded firmly:
"I admit that I did cry at the time!"

"Winning or losing the game is the whole of my life, so I really want to contribute to the team, but most of the time today, my state is very average, so I collapsed instantly..."

"But the head coach Scott and his teammates inspired me, especially Wu Di. They made me figure out that the game is like this. You can't be fully prepared. All you can do is to train hard every day. It’s about putting your heart and soul into the game…”

"My coach needs me, my teammates need me, and I need them too. This may be the meaning of the team. Without a team, I alone may stop at that time, but with a team , I have surpassed my original limit!"

Wu Di took the lead in applauding, and in an instant, there was thunderous applause.

Love's answer fully demonstrates how benign the atmosphere in the Cavaliers team is.

After all, not all teams can let players go beyond their limits, another game today illustrates this point.

The second-ranked Lakers lost to the third-ranked Mavericks 96-94 at home.

In the first half, the Lakers easily led by 9 points. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 7 points, and even the Lakers led by 60 points in the last 3 seconds, but Gasol and Odom made fatal mistakes in the last 20 seconds. , directly ruined the advantage of G1's home court and lost to the Mavericks led by Nowitzki.

In terms of strength on paper, the defending champion Lakers are definitely much stronger than the Mavericks, and they still have home court advantage.

But the Lakers players are deeply poisoned by the internal atmosphere of the Lakers. Gasol was disturbed because his teammate Shannon Brown gave him a green hat.

The funniest thing is that all this happened, the Zen master Phil Jackson even let Shannon Brown play.

Gasol is in a good state and I'm sorry for Zen Master's arrangement.

Another team player, Lamar Odom, made everyone in the Lakers sulk.

All the Lakers players are blessing him because of the best sixth man award, but no one considers him from his standpoint.

To put it bluntly, this is only an award for a substitute player, and since he was drafted fourth overall, he has always been a starter, and he is one of the best among the starters.

His average playing time is the third player in the team after Kobe Gasol, and he is the third player in scoring, which is much more important than Bynum and Artest!
But not only did he get the damn substitute award, but he also took the initiative to cut his salary to renew his contract with the team at a blue-collar price!
As an old man who has joined the Lakers since 04, Odom is physically and mentally exhausted.

It turned out that he was the honest man in the legend.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, but everyone in the Lakers was blessing him and telling him that he should be happy...

He really wanted to reply, "Kai Nima!"
He is really tired, even if he is really an honest person, he doesn't like to be taken advantage of!
But he didn't know where to start, he could only silently listen to the blessings of his teammates, use marijuana and Khloé Kardashian's body to numb himself, and then his state inevitably declined.

Compared with Odom, Love is definitely happy.

Although he has not yet passed the hurdle in his heart and admitted that he has panic attacks, at least Wu Di can understand his mental state and reverse the prejudice of his teammates, giving him great relief.

On May 5, the Cavaliers launched a training session against the Bulls with unlimited defense changes.

In the evening, they all watched the game between the Heat and the Celtics.

Not to mention, the Green Army's strategy of hiring the protagonist West of the friend's mother really worked!

这场比赛老詹上场40分钟，19投8中命中率42%仅拿22分，罚球更是只有9投5中，相比常规赛场均接近30分命中率超过50%的数据，可谓是拉胯至极。

But the Heat still won the game 90-99. After all, another James, that is, James Jones, played only 28 minutes, but scored 71 points on 25% shooting.

And another real FMVP, Wade, took 21 shots, only 2 shots more than Lao Zhan, and scored 38 points.

For a while, Lao Zhan couldn't tell who was the real father on the field.

The other game of the day was also full of surprises. The Grizzlies actually won the Thunder 114-101 away!
The last round of black eights had so much boosted the morale of the Grizzlies, so that no matter how the whole team played, the five players scored in double figures and won the Thunder led by the three minors!
This also fully shows that morale is based on winning battles.

Soon, on May 5th, the Cavaliers will host the Bulls again.

Although Davis was injured and retired, Wu Di assumed the responsibility of point guard, so that the Cavaliers' offense not only did not stagnate, but became smoother!
In addition, Love and Jordan both broke out, successfully continuing the firepower of the Cavaliers!

The Bulls still have an unlimited defense system, but the Cavaliers are in a brave state. They established a 17-point lead 27-10 in the first quarter!
