Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 85 Sorry, I'm a Center
Grizzlies coach Hollins is about to explode.

Guy lost by talking trash, and he still had to take a T. In the case of a penalty and a throw, the advantage they worked so hard to build disappeared in an instant!
This is just like him just now, being ridiculed by Wu Di, and he can only follow his taunt to continue changing people, it is more uncomfortable than killing him...

"Retribution will come soon!"

When Hollins replaced Gay with Darrell Arthur, he launched the Karma weapon hoarsely.

The on-site DJ was keenly aware of this explosive point, and directly inserted this sentence into the sound track of the background music.

The howling of "Retribution will come soon" resounded in the audience instantly!

Many Grizzlies fans are racists, and they are generally low-educated. They are very superstitious about karma. At this moment, they seemed to grasp the straw and shouted together:
"retribution!"

"retribution!"

……

Sure enough, unity depends on external force. When Wu Di made a free throw, he felt the floor shaking!
This is the sound of fans in the front row stepping on the floor together.

The fans of the Grizzlies have united like never before. They don't care about the color of the Grizzlies anymore, and they don't care that the Grizzlies only emphasize defense. They just want Wu Di to get retribution and win the game!
But Wu Di was completely unmoved, and even wanted to laugh a little. Could there be a better compliment than this?

The more the enemy hates him, doesn't that mean the more damage he does to the enemy?
The louder the yelling, the more it means that he just played well!

Besides, what's the use of shouting retribution, and don't even look at what his name is!

Invincible!

He slapped the racket in his hand twice, and swiped it around again. After the sense of ceremony was over, he pressed his hand on his wrist——

Swish!
Hand up and down!
[-]: [-]!
Still the Cavaliers' right to the ball!
The Grizzlies fans shouted even louder!

"Guys, you can't imagine how crazy the scene is!"

When Smith connected to the TNT studio, he said with emotion.

"Haha, no, no, no, of course I know, I also let the Lakers fans find the meaning of life!"

Barkley said with a smile that he once led the team to win three games in a row and win the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs in the [-]-[-] season.

"No surprise, if Wu can continue to behave like this, more and more people will hate him!"

Johnson also analyzed, "But he is just a rookie. I don't know if such a battle will affect his mentality..."

Not only did Wu Di not be affected by his mentality, but the more he played, the more he enjoyed himself.

Hollins' newly replaced tall forward King Arthur is good at breaking pick-and-rolls, so he will play singles.

He had played for more than two quarters, and it was still a defensive-oriented hand-to-hand fight, so his physical strength had dropped drastically.

But as soon as he heard the audience "cheering" for him, he immediately became energetic!
He started to show off his dribbling in the face of King Arthur, with all kinds of fancy crotch, disguise and bad luck. His superstar dribbling index is still very interesting to show.

King Arthur is also very high, can he not be high, his coach was blown up, and his teammates were all blown away, he had to defend Wu Di no matter what!
As a result, he was knocked down.

In the sound of "retribution", King Arthur was shaken down, trampled and shot.

[-]: [-]!
The fans of the Grizzlies probably forgot about it. If there is retribution, they, the racist Ku Klux Klan, will be hit immediately!
But the game was still very tense, and Wu Di became more and more excited as he played, but the other players of the Cavaliers did not have the same psychological quality as him.

They began to become panicked.

Except for Williams, who has seen such a big battle?
Even Williams, though, is starting to burn out.

Such crazy fans reminded him of this year's playoffs, when he and Lao Zhan were sent home by the Celtics in three consecutive rounds at the North Shore Garden Arena...

Even the referee became more cautious. The fans are so excited, isn't it because of the T they just blew?

Anyway, it's the end of the third quarter, as long as you don't fight, you can fight as much as you want!

The Grizzlies made various small moves for a while.

It is normal to pinch the flesh with elbows, and the restraint is limited to which direction and which part to pinch...

The basket has become the hardest-hit area. No matter who comes, they have to be served by bear paws, even if no one in the Cavaliers is bald.

Soon the Cavaliers' rebounds collapsed. After all, this is just a regular season, so there is no need to work hard...

Worse things are yet to come, Williams is too nervous, calf muscle strain!
Scott was speechless. Judging from the team doctor's expression, Williams shouldn't be pretending this time.

He played the core of the team in the first few games, and his physical load was relatively high. Now when he meets Tony Allen, a desperate defensive champion like Tony Allen, his taut strings will be broken at once.

"Damn it!"

He understands that after tonight, the Williams deal will have to be postponed again. An injured star is not as good as a dog. After all, no team is willing to be a nursing home.

But even worse are the problems currently exposed by the Cavaliers.

Not enough energy!

Jordan can steal the jump ball from Gasol Jr., but now he can't even grab the defensive rebounds...

Jamison was also intimidated by Randolph, and he no longer had that old and vigorous aura...

Also, Sessions, who replaced Williams on the field, originally just couldn't keep up with the lateral speed, but now he dribbles with trepidation...

Parker is quite stable, but his ability is limited. It's good to do a good job of defense. We can't expect too much...

On the court, it all depends on Wu Di's breath to hang on and continue his life. He keeps using Wujie back to beat and teach the bears to be human, one to kill one, two to shoot a double!
But his shooting rate still has a limit, especially at the end of the third quarter, maintaining an overall shooting rate of [-]% is already a god-level performance.

But the Grizzlies gained a foothold by relying on the brutal second offense.

Randolph, as the boss of the team, became the No. [-] Mad Bear, and played like a miracle in the playoffs!

He figured it out, although his back-up skills were crushed by Wu Di, but he still had offensive rebounds that he was proud of!

Wu Di's [-] meter body can't learn this at all!
The scale of victory was tilting towards the Grizzlies, and Hollins couldn't hide his complacency on his face.

No matter how strong Wu Di is, what about Jordan's jump shot, even Jordan himself is still prevented from crying by the bad boys of the Pistons?
Besides, Wu Di is not Jordan, and the Cavaliers are more than 01:30 points away from the level of the Bulls, but their iron-blooded defense of the Grizzlies is not at all inferior to that bad boy army!
By the end of the third quarter, the situation was completely reversed, and the score came to [-]:[-]. The Cavaliers went from leading by [-] points to trailing by [-] points!

"The pressure from the Grizzlies is too strong! Although Davis will play in the fourth quarter for the Cavaliers, if the problem of offensive rebounds cannot be solved, it may be difficult for Wu Di alone to change the situation!"

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yu Jia said anxiously.

"Damn! Wu Di has already scored 31 points, which has reached the limit! The key is that the Cavaliers' morale is low, and they have only experienced three consecutive losses, especially since Jordan has just made his debut, and his self-confidence is still relatively fragile..."

Director Zhang looked at the Cavaliers bench and commented.

"That's right, it's obvious that the Grizzlies are fighting with all their might, and Wu Di is the only one on the Cavaliers' side!"

"This kind of problem really can't be solved in a while. The Cavaliers are like a reorganized family. From the coach to the core to the role players, everyone has to work together..."

When Wu Di was resting, he deeply experienced the depressed state of the Cavaliers team.

Not to mention people like Jordan Jamison Jr., even Scott looked down at the floor helplessly.

"No, this is far worse than before I was injured!"

Wu Di murmured, before he was injured, the Cavaliers won three consecutive victories. Although there were problems with the lineup at that time, everyone was cohesive, and there was a spirit that was better than me.

Now being messed up by the Grizzlies like this, coupled with the three-game losing streak, everyone has become a flattened salted fish.

But this will never work!
Although this is just the regular season, but for them, trying their best in every game may not necessarily achieve the goal of the top five in the Eastern Conference.

Now if once you start to lie down, you will completely become a big team!
He remembered what Kenny Smith asked him before the game. Everyone was waiting to see their revenge and championship drama, but now they couldn't even make it to the playoffs. Isn't this a joke?
Besides, there are quite a lot of rewards in today's competition system!

Although Randolph, a fat man, is disgusting to play, but the rewards are quite a lot.

他已经拿了31分4篮板4助攻2盖帽2抢断的数据，合计起来已经是43万美刀了。

If he makes another effort to win the game in the fourth quarter, including the reward factor for victory, the reward will definitely exceed 100 million dollars!

This way he can add some more...

"Isn't it just a rebound, I'll take care of it!"

Wu Di took out two sleeves and put them on. He had already figured out a strategy. He would protect the Cavaliers' basket!

His rebound index is not high, only 81, not even a superstar.

But don't forget, he also has a rebounding master badge, which can directly increase his rebounding ability by 20%, making his rebounds directly reach the legendary range of 97.2!
Legendary rebounds!
He didn't grab many rebounds before because he had to save his energy for offense.

Plus avoid injury.

But at this time, he can only stand up.

The Cavaliers need him to save them.

Jordan's salary is less than 100 million, but Randolph's salary is more than 1700 million. Although Jordan recognizes him as the boss, he really can't open his mouth to let Jordan work hard.

Even Jordan will most likely agree.

He is the emperor of knights, not a dumping man, and he will never be soft when times of crisis come!
"The fourth quarter begins! The Cavaliers' possession of the ball, the two sides got straight to the point. Gay was sent to defend Wu Di again. Hollins' intention is obvious. This grievance must be settled today!"

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yu Jia and Director Zhang explained the game.

"Gay has an advantage over Wu Di in height and wingspan, and his footwork is flexible. Wu Di's ball is still disturbed..."

"Hey, this offensive rebound was actually taken by Wu Di? A tip-up made up! Only 2 points away!"

"Haha, Randolph's little expression is a bit too much, are you scared by Wu Di's grabbing board?"

"Wu Di actually asked to switch defenses with Jamison. This is a fight with Randolph! They are the core figures of their respective teams, but Wu Di is 15 kg lighter than Randolph. The pressure is too great!"

"Randolph put his life on the ball, and this is a gamble on his dignity as the strongest floor player in active service! Strong play at the basket, there it is!"

"Wu Di went directly to the basket, oops, foul! I said why Wu Di was wearing a sleeve, the above two marks are clear evidence of crime!"

……

Wu Di's rebounds had a miraculous effect, and the Cavaliers quickly stopped the trend of falling behind!
Offensive rebounds are no longer exclusive to Randolph. Although he is stronger in height and weight, Wu Disheng is jumping faster and higher, and has excellent rebounding awareness!
To make up for this shortcoming, the rest is a contest of wills between the two sides.

Jamison was the first to come back to his senses. When there were 6 minutes left in the game, he took a 3-pointer from Wu Di's breakthrough and the Cavaliers once chased the point difference to only 1 point.

And in the next defense, Wu Di grabbed another defensive rebound.

But Tony Allen stood up at this time, and he wanted to switch defenses with Gay on Wu Di.

This is a decision he made on the court without authorization, and the pressure is very high. If he can't prevent it, Hollins will inevitably wear small shoes after the game.

But Tony Allen couldn't bear it.

He is a paranoid to perverted defender, and his credo is defense.

But the defense depends on the opponent to eat, that is to say, the stronger the person he can defend, the higher his worth.

He bowed his waist and set up a defensive posture against Wu Di:

"I don't understand offense, but don't try to understand it either!"

Wu Di's heart sank. At this time, Tony Allen had just joined the Grizzlies and hadn't been certified for the third best defensive team. It's normal for Hollins to look down on him.

But he clearly knows how terrifying Tony Allen's defense is.

Although this guy is only 1 meters tall, he can defend against Kobe as the only "Kobe killer" certified by Kobe, and defend against Durant in the playoffs can make Durant at a loss. There are definitely two brushes.

He looked at the scoreboard, it is now 79:80, if he can hit the ball, he can overtake it...

He made a three-threat move, took a deep breath, and was about to cross step forward to the right, but Tony Allen counterattacked at a faster speed!
So wild!

Wu Di's rhythm was interrupted!
He gritted his teeth and was unlucky, trying to adjust the rhythm back, but was severely cut off by Tony Allen's fast hand!
Tony Allen flew desperately to save, even if he was stepped on by Wu Di, he would take the ball down!
The basketball flowed rapidly, and the point difference expanded to 3 points again.

At this moment, more than 1 spectators in the stadium were overwhelmed by Tony Allen's spirit, and they all stood up and applauded him, whether they were Grizzlies fans or Cavaliers fans.

Wu Di reached out and pulled him up. He still underestimated Tony Allen's ability, but he would never give in.

After a few more rounds, the score was engraved at 79:82 as if frozen.

Opportunities are running out!
Wu Di held the ball on the wing again, this time without any pause, he swung his arm to throw Tony Allen half a step away and went straight to the basket!

His ball protector was tight, tightly blocking Tony Allen's hand that wanted to steal the ball, facing Randolph and Gasol's blocks, a windmill lever sent the ball!

Hiss!

beep!
bang!

Accompanied by the sound of a jersey breaking, the whistle sounded, and the basketball smashed into the net!

2+1!

There was an exclamation in the FedEx Arena.

I don't know whether to marvel at Wu Di's top ten layup, or marvel at the sculpted muscle lines on his body.

Maybe both!
The game was suspended suddenly, and the Cavaliers staff kept rummaging through their clothes.

In fact, they knew where the clothes were, but they couldn't find them, because it was a second to let Wu Di rest for a second at this time.

Wu Di's physical strength has encountered an unprecedented challenge this time, defending against Randolph, plus rebounding, plus offense, he is completely carrying the team forward.

But there is no way. Except for Jamison who has recovered some form, the others are still struggling in the quagmire. We can only count on him.

Wu Di looked around the auditorium. Of course, recovery of physical strength can not only rely on the Gatorade in his hand, but also rely on a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty.

"Hey, are you looking for me?"

A sexy voice sounded, and Wu Di turned around. It was Megan Fox he was looking for, but the other party was covering up the shape of his mouth by biting his fingers.

"Why did you cover up the black silk!"

Wu Di jokingly said, no wonder he didn't notice the goddess by his side, it turned out that the black silk was covered with a blanket.

"It's cold, you think everyone is as hot as you!"

Megan said, looking into Wu Di's torn jersey, the two had made eye contact for countless times during the break, and their intentions couldn't be more obvious.

"If we win this game, can you give me your cell phone number?"

"Why not find a condition with a higher probability?"

"Because you deserve a victory!"

……

What Wu Di didn't know was that the conversation between him and Megan was overheard by the gossip-loving Gibson...

And letting Gibson hear it means that everyone in the Cavaliers will hear it!

It's just that the information is always processed during the dissemination, so when Jordan heard it, the version has become like this:
"Have you heard that if we win, Wu Di can exchange Megan's hot black silk with his cold phone number!"

Little Jordan was deeply encouraged, this deal can be negotiated, he deserves to be the boss!

He boldly solicited the same deal from a beautiful audience beside him, but the other party said:
"You see clearly, I am naturally black!"

"But it sounds good!"

……

Back on the court, Wu Di scored the goal and the score was tied at 83:83!
The Grizzlies have the ball, with 1 minute and 57 seconds left in the game, less than 2 minutes...

But suddenly, the momentum on the Cavaliers field was different.

Especially Jordan, his eyes are full of yearning for winning!

The situation of the Grizzlies suddenly became difficult, and they were soon overtaken by two points by Jordan's long-lost dunk.

Gasol and Randolph's faces were full of question marks. What's going on, Jordan is going to die, why is he so fierce all of a sudden! ?

"Hey buddy, how much are they paying you, is it worth your hard work?"

"It's not a matter of money or not, all I care about is victory!"

Little Jordan yelled angrily, and he and Randolph fought hard for the rebound.

beep!
The referee called a faceoff!

"Black whistle!"

"Black whistle!"

……

With the unanimous approval of the fans in the audience, the referee threw the ball, and Jordan threw the ball to Wu Di without any surprise.

But Tony Allen broke the ball one step faster!
Damn, this "Kobe Killer" is really tough!

Randolph chipped in again and the score came to an 85-85 tie...

Wu Di held the ball for the final attack. He held the ball on the flank of the three-point line and read the seconds. There were 35 seconds left in the game and 17 seconds left in their attack.

After these few rounds of wrestling with Tony Allen, he also figured out Tony Allen's defensive routines.

This man's defensive awareness is absolutely at its peak, and he can always judge his offensive line in advance, and then use clever positioning to disrupt his offensive rhythm.

Coupled with the quick, accurate and ruthless steals, it brought him great psychological pressure.

His current two major killers, one jumper and the other relying on hitting, are both very rhythmic styles of play, and Tony Allen specializes in restraining the rhythm.

To be honest, there is only one idea in his mind now, and that is to pass the ball, whoever loves to shoot.

But he can't.

Because of Megan's mobile phone number, he is determined to get it!
Wu Di quickly took a large cross step to the front right, and Tony Allen took a small step backwards. The seemingly inadvertent position locked him both ways.

He pulls his crotch back while blocking Tony Allen's hand that wants to take the ball!

Then he turned his hips suddenly, a short double disguise, and the rhythm became blurred in an instant!

But Tony Allen didn't move at all. Wu Di gritted his teeth and made a disguise again. His hands touched the floor. He stepped on the ground with his right foot and accelerated. Tony Allen's eyes froze, and his left foot subconsciously stepped back...

opportunity!

Wu Di pushed the ball to the left in an instant, Tony Allen took a slow shot, and when he turned around to chase, he had already opened up the space to shoot a jumper...

The basketball crossed a high parabola in the air and hit the back edge of the basket...

The spin was a little bit off, and the basketball fell out of the frame!

Looking at the basketball in the air, in Wu Di's mind, the badge of the master of rebounding slightly lights up, which increases rebounding ability by 20% and reduces the distance of sprinting and taking off by 20%!

He took two steps, jumped high, and caught the flying ball against Gasol as if he was catching the moon!
Immediately afterwards, turn over again, tighten your core, and press your wrist to make a shot!

Swish!
The sound of basketball brushing the net sounded!
87: 85!

"Sorry, I'm a center forward!"

The Grizzlies failed to score the last attack, the game ended and the Cavaliers won!
Wu Di won his first comeback win!
The Cavaliers fans who traveled thousands of miles away rejoiced as if celebrating the New Year, but the Grizzlies fans cursed one after another...

Damn it, the "retribution" they talked about fell on them!

After tonight, there will be another mayor of Memphis on the Internet!
Megan deliberately left the blanket on the seat, and when she left, she made a phone call gesture to Wu Di, who was surrounded by her teammates to celebrate. Obviously, there were other babies in the blanket besides her body temperature.
