Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 39
After entering the MCI Center, Wu Di met another Chinese player of the Wizards, namely Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian is relatively introverted, so Wu Di took the initiative to chat with him first, but when he talked about Wu Di's teammate Williams, Ah Lian opened up the conversation.

Ah Lian said that this guy not only refused to pass the ball to him on the court, but also called him around off the court, such as asking him to run errands to buy breakfast and carry children's schoolbags.

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Di, thinking that Wu Di would encounter the same thing.

"I challenged him one-on-one, and I beat him twice, so he doesn't dare to come to me now!"

As Wu Di said, he glanced at Williams who was warming up.

This fellow was looking at the two of them from afar, but when he saw Wu Di's eyes turning, he quickly turned his head away, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.

"Throw, you are ruthless!"

Ah Lian gave him a thumbs up.

In the end, Wu Di vaguely expressed to him the lack of players in the Cavaliers, but Ah Lian directly stated that the atmosphere of the Wizards is very good, and he wants to continue to achieve results with the Wizards.

Wu Di had no choice but to give up after hearing the words. In fact, Ah Lian is a rare space-type power forward, but this kind of thing cannot be forced.

Because the two teams played against each other had a Chinese player on the field, the Chinese media also paid a lot of attention to this game.

In the warm-up session before the game, Mengchao, a double beauty reporter from Penguin NBA and ESPN, took the lead in interviewing Wu Di.

Obviously it is the home court of the Wizards, but Wu Di was interviewed first, which also confirmed Wu Di's current popularity from the side.

Mengchao wore a curvaceous pink tight skirt. Although she was wearing a pair of high heels, she was still 1 meters shorter than Wu Di. Wu Di thoughtfully took her to the Cavaliers bench.

The two sat down, and Mengchao's sweet appearance instantly attracted the attention of several Cavaliers players.

Seeing this, Mengchao smiled in refusal, crossed his slender legs, and posed in a proper posture in front of the camera.

When Wu Di saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The female reporters really did in-depth research on the ratings.

After guiding Wu Di to say hello to Penguin NBA netizens, Mengchao began to get to the point:
"We selected three questions with the highest voting rate among netizens to ask you. First, you showed extraordinary organizational talent in the last game. Have you ever considered changing to a point guard?"

"As long as I can lead the team to win, I can play in any position."

Wu Di paused, and then added: "In fact, the concept of position in the game is gradually weakening, especially the tactics coach Scott taught us to practice. Everyone can take on multiple roles."

Meng Chao was a little surprised when she heard the words. She also just came to the NBA as a front-line reporter. Before she came, she did a lot of homework in this area and knew the difference between each position. But Wu Di overturned the traditional concept with one sentence. I really dare to say...

"Second, this game is facing the Wizards led by this year's No. [-] pick John Wall. How high do you think the Cavaliers' winning percentage is?"

"I won't predict. I'm afraid of cheating everyone's happy beans. I can only control myself to play the best performance."

"The third question is also the question with the highest voting rate among netizens. Have you talked about your girlfriend?"

"Yes, I have."

Wu Di smiled and twirled the basketball in his fingertips:

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend!"

Mengchao was amused by this scene and trembled wildly. Finally, he said that the fans at the scene were looking forward to Wu Di's performance, and he was ready to end the interview.

"Haha, really, this is Washington!"

Wu Di laughed, Meng Chao's slip of the tongue was too serious.

"Ah, I'm sorry, you're so handsome, and I don't have much experience, so I'm too nervous..."

Meng Chao quickly explained, and asked Wu Di to accompany her to re-record it again, and finally left his mobile phone number to express that he wanted to invite him to dinner.

After receiving several interviews from other media, Wu Di continued to warm up before the game.

Taking advantage of the gap, Williams rarely ran to his side and said:
"Wu, the Huaxia girl who interviewed you just now is very beautiful!"

But Wu Di ignored him at all.

"Did she give you your mobile phone number just now, can you show me? I want to talk to her hehe..."

Williams continued to laugh, with a particularly mean tone.

Wu Di made an international gesture to him:
"Fuck Off!"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Williams' eyes. He pretended to be innocent and glanced at the teammates around him. His eyes seemed to say, look, these are the so-called teammates.

"Wu, you have to help Xiao Mo, they are all teammates!"

Varejao chimed in and said that he came up with this idea for Williams in order to deliberately create conflicts so that he would not cooperate with Wu Di's tactics on the court.

Wu Di shook his head, not to be harsh, these two people really thought he was the kind of young man who swallowed his anger!
He goes straight to Scott:

"Coach, if there is me in the starting lineup later, Williams and Varejao cannot appear."

As soon as these words came out, the conflict between the two groups of people instantly became heated.

Williams and Varejao instantly exploded. They never expected that Wu Di would dare to make such a request to the head coach!
You know, doing this is a direct challenge to Scott's authority. After all, if the conflict intensifies and affects the team's performance, the head coach will be the first to take the blame.

Moreover, they analyzed before that they felt that Wu Di wanted to win very much, and now that the Cavaliers are very lacking in combat power, it is too late for Wu Di to beg them to contribute, so just abandon them now?
The other players of the Cavaliers were confused when they heard the words, and they wanted to persuade them but didn't know how to persuade them.

Among the three, Williams and Varejao are veterans in the team, with relatively high prestige, and they are usually more able to play with them.

And Wu Di is the undoubted leader of the team in the future. After the Huaxia Games, most people have gradually begun to recognize his status in the team.

However, his time in the team is relatively short after all, and his relationship with everyone is not that familiar, and he usually likes to be alone...

"Wu, there's no need to be like this. We are all teammates and we all want to win the game. We need teamwork to win the game..."

Gibson, who has a good relationship with Wu Di, began to persuade him.

But Wu Di didn't answer the conversation, and his face and heart were at odds, which was not the state he wanted.

He is now trying to force Scott to make a choice as soon as possible, and the Cavaliers are now at a point where they cannot be broken.

"They all feel that they are the backbone of the team, so they will play in two teams, anyway, it's the preseason."

Scott has blue veins on his forehead. As a coach, the two groups of people made such a fuss before the game, and he was very embarrassed:
"Wu Di leads the team in the first two quarters, Gibson, Sessions, Hickson, and Hollins, you go on, Williams and Varejao lead the team in the next two quarters, Parker, Jamison, and Alonzo will make up for it at that time. Qi, stop arguing and use your grades to speak!"

Williams and Varejao stood on the spot instantly when they heard the words, and Scott actually agreed?
Although Scott gave them a stronger lineup, after all, except for Hickson, this was the previous starting team.

However, Scott still let Wu Di play first, that is, the starting lineup!

In other words, Scott agreed to Wu Di's request of "with me but without him".

Scott actually supported Wu Di, a rookie?

They suddenly felt that they had misjudged the situation before...

After being shocked, the two immediately became furious, and their eyes were bloodshot from the anger above!
In order to take care of Wu Di's emotions, Scott even ignored the face of these two veterans?
What is this coach doing?

Wu Di is just a rookie abandoned by the Heat, how can he compare with the pillars of their two teams?
