Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 178 The Old Hooligan's Bet
At 5 o'clock in the morning on May 6, Wu Di drove Brabus Big G to the Cavaliers training hall.

Affected by 0-2 and six consecutive wins in the playoffs, the morale of the Cavaliers is at an all-time high.

In the past, when Wu Di arrived at the training hall at this point, he could only see the staff, and at most he could see Love.

But now it is overcrowded, and even the injured Davis is yelling:

"Sessions, you have a ball for practicing switchbacks, what you lack is lateral speed!"

Wu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Byron, aren't you recuperating at home?"

Davis raised his right hand with the strap on and smiled:

"Hehe, I can't sleep. I was afraid that these boys would not support you enough when I wasn't playing, so I came here, and it turned out that I found a lot of problems!"

Well, even if you are injured, you have to come over and be a supervisor...

This is what victory does to a team. After tasting the fruits of victory, players will want to taste it again.

This kind of strong desire is comparable to the most delicious chicken soup for the soul in the world. It hits the soul directly, and it works better than alarm clocks, punishments, and rewards.

If you use the theory of physiology to explain, the concentration of endorphins in the brains of Cavaliers players is particularly high. Endorphins make temptations such as bedding, alcohol, and beauty insignificant in front of these players, making these players victorious. Fruit addicts, consciously went to the training hall to report.

话说回来，吴迪昨天一共砍下31分6篮板12助攻2盖帽的数据，获得了系统816万美刀的奖励。

Coupled with the previous G1 reward of 960 million US dollars, and the remaining 167 million US dollars before, his wealth has reached 1943 million US dollars.

Wu Di found the team's finances again. The regular season is over, and there is no incentive clause in his rookie contract. He can already receive the remaining 20% ​​of this season's salary, which is $82.

After deducting Ariana's brokerage fee, it is $70.

Adding in his original $1943 million, it comes to $2013 million.

This can be exchanged for 2 talent points.

Before the series with the Bulls, the 2 points he added to the speed had a decisive effect.

If it weren't for these two points, he would definitely not be able to keep up with Rose.

At their level, the difference is thousands of miles away, and every point of increase is very important.

Now with these 2 points, he plans to continue to add 1 point to the speed, and increase the speed from 89 to 90 super giant, so that he can face Ross more easily.

Another 1 point is added to steals, raising steals from 83 to 84.

After these few playoff games, Wu Di's elusive blocks made opponents more and more frightened.

But only he himself knows that his actual block attribute is only 83.

Now that the opponent is facing a situation where everyone is in danger, he must activate the flying state and increase his blocking ability by 20% to be effective.

But the flying state is beyond his control, so his ability to block shots is very unstable.

He urgently needs to improve steals to increase the means of chasing points.

And increasing the steals from 83 to 84 is far from enough. After all, he is basically defending the arrows in the opposing team. If he wants to steal the ball from Rose or Wade, 84 steals are simply wishful thinking and can only be interrupted occasionally. Players like Noah and Luol Deng.

As for Lao Zhan...

The possibility of Lao Zhan is relatively low. Although this guy can't dribble, he is very good at protecting his dribble with his body.

Only by winning two more games as soon as possible, and trying to find a way to make up 2000 million US dollars, and upgrade to a superstar of 86, can Wu Di use steals.

The Cavaliers were not in a hurry to fly to Chicago that night. After all, Chicago fans are no worse than New York fans, and they can spend one day less in Chicago.

So all the Cavaliers watched G2 between the Heat and the Celtics in the video room of the training hall.

This time Lao Zhan’s touch is still very strong. In the first quarter, he made 9 of 4 shots and only scored 8 points. In the second quarter, he only scored 3 points with 1 of 3 shots. .

Bosh seems to be infected by Lao Zhan's hip-pull for two consecutive games. Everyone is in a group, and the salary is 1450 million dollars a year. Why can Lao Zhan be able to work hard, but he can't?
So in the first quarter, he made 3 of 1 shots, and in the second quarter, he made 3 of 1 shots. The main focus is stability.

Only Wade made 13 of 7 shots and scored 53.8 points efficiently with a shooting rate of 16%, maintaining the firepower of the Heat.

The Big Three of the Heat vented two, but the Big Three of the Green Army were even more disappointing.

Pierce scored 7 points on 2 of 5 shots in the first half, and his shooting percentage was 28.6%. Wu Di wanted to change the truth number to the truth number.

A Garnett scored 9 points on 2-of-4 shooting, only 22.2% from the field, and the wolf king deliberately hit 4 2s. Is this to fight the landlord, or to prove that he can also be a Erha?
What's even more amazing is Ray Allen, who directly hit 5 of 1 shots and his shooting rate was as low as 20%.

The peak duel between the Big Three that the audience was looking forward to was not staged, and the popcorn in their hands was no longer fragrant.

In this way, the Celtics were only 42 points behind 47-5 in the first half.

Because of Delonte West, crossed out, Daddy James, 2% shooting 2 from 100 shots, and scored 5 points efficiently.

Jeff Green, the Thunder's four young men, crossed out, the savior of the Celtics, scored a team-high 5 points on 4 of 10 shots!
Although the Celtics have these two strong supporters, Lao Zhan's self-confidence is slowly born.

Because the head coach of the Celtics is Pig Rivers!
In the third quarter, West was not allowed to play directly, and Jeff Green was only allowed to play for 2 minutes before being replaced...

Not to mention the Celtics fans, even the Cavaliers players watched the blood pressure soar.

Lao Zhan is also very worthy of Zhutou's arrangement. In the third quarter, he made 6 of 5 shots in a single quarter and scored 12 points. He surpassed the total points in the first half in a single quarter.

But also in the third quarter, the Celtics' Big Three's touch has picked up. Both teams scored 25 points in a single quarter, and the score came to 67-72.

In the fourth quarter, the pig head seemed to have figured it out and let Jeff and West play again.

West continued to shoot 100% and quickly scored 5 points. Jeff contributed a key steal and the score was once chased to 74-76.

However, as soon as he saw that the form was good, Zhu Tou immediately replaced the big three with hips, and the point difference was widened again. The score of the two teams was finally fixed at 91-102.

The Heat accepted G2 and led 0-2 with a big score!

The only function of this game is to let Lao Zhan regain his touch.

After Wu Di finished watching, he asked for Rivers' phone number directly through Scott.

Although this call should not be made, but if this call is not made, Wu Di feels that his hand feeling in tomorrow's game may be affected:

"Pig head, I'll call you brother pig, please stop coaching, hurry up and find a job in an electronics factory, okay?"

"What? The electronics factory doesn't want pig heads? You still have to work hard in the NBA? I#&*!"

……

In another game, the Grizzlies failed to continue their miracle and lost to the Thunder 102-111 away.

The three thunderbolts broke out, especially Harden, who seemed to have suddenly opened up. In the last game, he only made 0 free throws, but this time he made 11 free throws, which was more than the difference between the two teams.

When the black and white bears meet Pengcideng, it turns out that those who are aggressive are afraid of those who are stunned, those who are stupefied are afraid of those who are violent, those who are violent are afraid of those who will die, and those who are desperate will not dare to provoke those who are desperate.

In short, today's game is not as good as the comment area of ​​netizens:
Indiscriminate beatings: "Can you hurry up and fast-forward to the Eastern Conference finals, I want to see the Cavaliers beating the Heat!"

Can't resist beating: "The Celtics shouted loudly before the playoffs, saying that they are the real Big Three, and so on. Looking at it now, it's just Rivers giving Lao Zhan another experience, making Wei Ster recruited here to restore Lao Zhan's mentality and build confidence, in case he returns to Cleveland and is broken by the fans..."

Five-star good citizen of Sin City: "Rivers can be reversed 3-1. Now 0-2, the Celtics are basically gone. The Heat have locked up the Eastern Conference finals. Although the Cavaliers won two games, the points difference is relatively small , come to the Bulls home court tomorrow, and the Bulls will fight with their backs when there is no way to retreat, and there is a high probability that they will lose a game."

So what if you make three thousand enemies: "As a representative of the ominous strength of the strong, the King James is about to sweep Boston with victory!"

Although there are thousands of people, I will go on: "Where I fall, I will get up. Last season, the Celtics eliminated me, and this time, I must get revenge 4-0!"

Kneel down in the TD North Shore Garden: "Pull it down, as long as your A-Zhan is still strong, he will be strong. I think if he is strong, he will pull Xiang, and he will sit on the wall in a group!"

NBA No. [-] affectionately: "Didn't everyone notice that in the playoffs, Babulang has fewer whistles for walking recently? The league is really full of flowers and firecrackers all the way, and we must help Babulang to the championship! "

My co-driver can only be a beautiful woman in Balenciaga: "If the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers play in the finals and the Grizzlies win the championship, can Megan leave the Minions?"

How can a man make a small report: "Brother, you really dare to think, it's the same name as yours!"

I asked Chamberlain: "Can you not touch Wu Huang? According to what you said, wouldn't the Lakers win the Cavaliers in the finals? After all, there are only two Hollywood actresses around Wu Huang."

Codename Black Mamba: "I also said why no one cares about my lake. It turns out that you already know the ending, the Lakers championship!"

Gotham Rise: "Don't even talk about it, is Guazi Coke ready? Tomorrow, let's see how our bloodthirsty bulls crush the knights!"

……

Although G3 is generally not favored by the outside world, until the evening of May 5th, the Cavaliers still continued the smooth offense of the previous game at the United Center Arena in Chicago.

In the first quarter, the two teams battled 25-23. The Bulls did not get the home bonus and were still behind by 2 points.

After all, when they were in Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavaliers did not have a home whistle. If the home field factor that had the greatest impact was removed, no matter how excited the Chicago fans were, the Cavaliers were not a team that had never played an away game in the playoffs. The Bulls' home court advantage was very limited.

And by the third game, the Cavaliers also knew how to break the infinite switch defense.

A highly suppressed lineup can produce unexpected effects, and an all-small lineup can also force the Bulls to give up the wrong position advantage when switching defenses.

In the second quarter, Scott tried a four-back lineup of Wu Di, Beverly, Parker, and Sessions, and he caught the Bulls by surprise.

However, Thibodeau also learned to behave this time. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately changed his defense to man-to-man, and only let the Cavaliers expand the point difference to 5 points.

But in this case where the lineups are mismatched on both sides, it is back to the script of fighting the players' personal abilities.

吴迪基本延续了G1跟G2的火热手感，上半场他便12投8中，以66%的命中率砍下20分，顺带还收获了7个助攻。

Yesterday's incident with the pig's head not only failed to affect him, but made him suffocated, so he just came to the United Center to vent.

In addition, although the opponent was not the Bulls led by the old gangster, the old gangster was tricked by Wu Di to make a bet outside the court.

Just winning two Bulls games is not enough to collect 2000 million US dollars to continue to add points. Wu Di must find a way to make more money as soon as possible, so he found the old hooligan.

During the daytime today, the old hooligan said on the phone that if Wu Di can win the Bulls in the away game in G3, Wu Di will be rewarded with a chance to single out Black Jesus.

Although Danzi claimed that the black Jesus was a bit of a stinky fart, the bet was indeed played like this, winning the bull and rewarding Wu Di.

In fact, the current Jordan not only has no sense of belonging to the Bulls, but even hates them very much.

This can be seen from the fact that Jordan has never set foot in the United Center after retiring.

In the later stages of Jordan's career, he had a deep conflict with the Bulls management. Apart from the fact that the Bulls management wanted to fire Jordan's mentor, Phil Jackson, there was another thing that made him even more aggrieved.

That is, Jordan wanted to follow the example of the magician and become the little boss of the Bulls, but the boss of the Bulls replied him with four words: "Wishful thinking!"

When the old rascal told him about this incident, even Wu Di felt sorry for Jordan.

After all, Jordan's contribution to the Bulls is definitely greater than that of the Magician to the Lakers.

Before Jordan came, the Bulls were just a team with less than 40% attendance and no one cared about it. The owner was so poor that he owed a lot of debt and went bankrupt at any time.

After Jordan came, not to mention that the Bulls boss turned over directly. According to the estimates of the "Chicago Tribune", Jordan's completion of his first three consecutive championships has increased the income of the entire city of Chicago by 35%.

However, the boss of the bull didn't appreciate it at all...

It can only be said that when negotiating conditions with capitalists, it is best when you are still valuable, otherwise even if you are Jordan, you can only see what a capitalist looks like.

"Hey, Danzi, your motivation for acquiring the Bobcats isn't to make it to the playoffs and then eliminate your old team, the Bulls, right?"

After listening to Jordan's narration, Wu Di couldn't help asking on the phone.

"Don't talk nonsense hahahaha... hiccup!"

Jordan didn't answer directly, but laughed out loud on the phone.

So, just like that, when the first half ended 53-48, Wu Di received a text message from the old hooligan:

"Good, keep smashing the plate!"

Some people are happy and some are sad. Thibodeau also received a text message, but this text message made him frown.

"Tom, think carefully about what I told you."

—— Xiao Hua

Xiao Hua appeared on the game site again today. After all, Chicago is not Cleveland, and Wu Di is not enough to affect the fan activities here to embarrass him.

The Bulls are 0-2 behind, and he is more anxious than the Bulls fans!
So, he found Thibodeau early this morning and revealed to him some fierce information that should not have been revealed:
"You know, Tom, the selection of the regular season MVP is coming soon! I am very optimistic that Derek can win this award, but this year's selection is a bit special. Some people in the upper echelon of the league want to change the taste of the audience..."

Xiao Hua said while gesturing non-stop:

"You know, to change the taste of the audience, to satisfy the increasingly broad international market, to hype the hottest topic at present, etc., they can always find various reasons to endorse their views!"

"But I am still very optimistic about Derek. If Derek can get this award, it will not only be a recognition for him, but also a great incentive for the Bulls. Jordan's Bulls have already become a thing of the past, but Chicago But there is still a vacant position, and there is no successor for Jordan, maybe Derek is such a successor..."

"Tom, you have already won the best head coach award. You are only one Jordan away from the Zen Master Phil Jackson. Now, helping Derek get this award will be the best in your coaching history. The head coach award is just as important!"

Thibodeau was so excited that he couldn't help himself, Xiao Hua is the vice president of the league and the future successor of Stern!

If there is another good story about how Stern and Jordan achieve each other...

Thinking of this, Thibodeau asked in a trembling voice:
"Mr. President, I understand what you said, but can I really help Derek get the MVP now?"

Xiao Hua adjusted his glasses, he really wanted to say that Wu Di would be abolished to win the series, but he held back.

Although there should be no recordings or anything, if he doesn't know the principle of sailing for ten thousand years carefully, it is impossible for him to go so smoothly these years:
"Of course! Your regular season record is very good. Derek's only unsafe possibility is the team's performance in the playoffs. You know, this year's MVP voting time is relatively late. Factors such as playoff results will be taken into consideration!"

"Just like your team's ranking, the number of wins in the first item, you are the same as the Cavaliers, you will look at the second item, the second divisional results, if you are still the same as the Cavaliers, then you have to look at the third item, the scores of both sides Mutual record..."

"Looking at the results of leading the team in the playoffs is the same reason. Anyway, this is the usual practice. I just remind you, Tom, you must not think too much..."
