Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 96 Really Powerful and Really Outrageous

On November [-], Wu Di took the team's special plane to Phoenix, Arizona to challenge the Suns.

Phoenix is ​​the largest state capital in the United States, basically in the same dimension as Los Angeles, with a hot and dry climate.

It is also known as "Phoenix City".

What is amazing is that despite the great cultural differences between the East and the West, the fictional mythical species of the phoenix has been unified in the mythology of the East and the West.

Unlike the dragon, the dragon is synonymous with tyranny in the West, but auspicious in the East.

In the west, the phoenix seems to be a symbol of auspiciousness. When it encounters fire, it is reborn from nirvana, and its brilliance is extraordinary...

But after coming to the United States, Wu Di discovered that this was a misunderstanding.

The "Phoenix" in the Western population is more aptly translated into "Phoenix".

And the so-called "Phoenix" is most likely a crow.

Crows like kindling, and at the same time they like to build their nests on the roof, and many houses in the West are made of wood.

The fire meets the wood, and the air circulation on the roof is relatively sufficient...

So people will often see, in the firelight, a certain black bird soars into the sky!
"Dig the trough, look! The fire won't kill you, phoenix!"

"Don't take pictures, hurry up and put out the fire, that's my house!"

……

Can this bird be translated into phoenix?

Phoenix City, the attendance rate of the Suns home court is as small as the cloth pieces on the female fans.

Since the "little bully" Amare Stoudemire left in the summer, the team that reached the Western Conference finals last season was called the Western Cavaliers by the media, and its record also fell into a downturn.

The advantage of sympathy is that the Suns fans are more friendly to the Cavaliers in the away game.

Therefore, when Wu Di played, not only the Cavaliers fans who came with the team to support, but also quite a few Suns home fans also gave out welcome screams.

It's a pity that tomorrow we have to challenge [-] people back to back, otherwise Wu Di would have to exchange card skills with these friendly fans.

With the opening whistle, Jordan faced the thin Channing Frye and put the ball firmly into the hands of Davis.

Wu Di settled down in the frontcourt while observing the starting lineup of the Suns.

Except for Frye, the four positions are all famous figures.

No. [-] "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash, No. [-] "Golden State Flea" Jason Richardson, No. [-] "Jordan's Successor" Grant Hill, No. [-] "Turkish Agent" Hope degree - Turkoglu.

Davis came to the right wing and passed the ball to Wu Di as usual, but the next second, Nash suddenly appeared on the only way for basketball!
Snapped!
Accompanied by the cheers of the fans, the basketball instantly turned around and flew towards the backcourt!

The Suns' signature counterattack and fast break staged!

Davis wanted to make up for it, and ran desperately to catch up with Nash, but the [-]-year-old Zonda still ran gracefully, like long hair flying!

Coming to the basket, Nash made a seemingly ordinary ground pass, but the ball was very good to guide Richardson to take a step back.

However, after this step, Davis has been attracted by Nash, and Richardson instantly faces the sea!

This is the level of master passing, with a very good sense of rhythm, so that the receiver can catch the ball comfortably and play comfortably.

Richardson took off from the penalty area, and "Golden State Flea" instantly became the two-time dunk king, turning around and dunking [-] flat frames!

[-]-[-]!
"WOW~Excellent cooperation, from the eternal Zonda and the slam dunk king wearing the No. [-] jersey!"

The live DJ played brisk tunes, leading the cheers of the fans to a climax.

On the sidelines, Scott's complexion sank. This sun exploded, and it could also knock down the defending champion Lakers in three quarters!

From the looks of it, the Cavaliers are going to face a fierce battle today...

"Hey, now the pressure is all on Wu Di! We all say that the Suns' defense is poor, but in terms of individual defensive ability, the Suns may still be better than the Cavaliers! Nash of the Suns made a beautiful counterattack at the beginning Let's make a quick break and see how Wu Di responds!"

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping explained.

"The player defending Wu Di is Grant Hill, who is the only "Jordan's successor" officially recognized by the league. In [-], he was the No. [-] show, yes, he was also No. [-], just like our Wu Di!"

Yang Yi adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and talked eloquently. Ever since he was ridiculed by Su Qun for not being familiar with the draft picks, he had memorized all the draft picks in the past 20 years, especially the position of Tanhua.

"The position of Tanhua has a really high rate of success! Seven-time All-Star Hill is [-] meters tall, has a wingspan of [-] meters, and weighs [-] kilograms. This physical talent plays a small forward, ceiling level! And Hill's organization, breakthrough , shooting, defense, support, and ball quotient, he is a hexagonal fighter as rare as Michael Jordan!"

"Although he is a bit old, after more than ten years of experience on the field, he has also evolved into a veteran on the field! And he is in good condition. He started [-] games last season and basically attended all games!"

……

On the field, Wu Di calmly called for support from the waistline, and did not change the tactical strategy set yesterday.

Seeing this, Jamison immediately pulled to the left wing to catch the ball. At the same time, Wu Di walked around Davis from the right elbow to the top of the arc, while Gibson ran towards Jamison from the top of the arc.

The Suns' defensive formation suddenly became messy, and there were three shooting points at the same time. Richardson, who was defending Gibson, hesitated for a while whether to defend Wu Di, and Gibson ran out of the shooting space!
Jamison's eyes lit up, and he passed the ball immediately. After receiving the ball, Gibson didn't stop at all, jumped up and shot with his wrist!

After his shooting posture was trained by Wu Di, he shot very quickly. Richardson stopped for a while and missed the best opportunity to block the shot!
However, Wu Di looked at the arc of the basketball in the air, but his eyes were fixed... Deviated!
He ran to the elbow area in an instant!

But Hill ran faster than him!
And very cleverly blocked Wu Di's position for rebounding!

When he was young, he ranked second in the league in defensive rebounds, even higher than Ewing, Malone, Rodman and other inside superstars!
If he didn't have any real skills, how could he be elected as the All-Star vote leader in his rookie season, and even beat Jordan to become the All-Star vote leader later?

But Wu Di was not afraid at all. In his mind, the badge of the master of punching boards was slightly lit, the distance of sprinting and taking off was -[-]%, and the ability of rebounding was +[-]%!
His rebounding ability instantly reached the legendary level of [-]!
Under Hill's sharp eyes, Wu Di jumped up at the same time as him!

If Hill was still young, then Wu Di would not have to dance at all, after all, the height difference is here.

But now Hill's jumping and bullet speed have degraded severely due to age and injuries, and the two are evenly matched in the air...

But Hill still relied on a better card position and hugged the basketball with both hands!

Wu Di's eyes froze, he must not let the Suns play fast break again!

He swung his body, and the super giant waist and abdomen strength he had strengthened with Megan some time ago took effect. He exerted his strength twice in the air, and shot the basketball out of Hill's hand with his right hand!

"Little Joe!"

Little Jordan flew to save the ball, and a second before the basketball was about to go out of bounds and hit the ground, he slapped the ball back with an ear scraper!
Wu Di grabbed the flying basketball with one hand from beyond the three-point line, and at the critical moment, he swayed his hand and instantly sent Hill flying!

However, Hill is also very experienced. He dragged his foot on the ground and didn't get up, so he had to defend his position again when he turned around!

But Wu Di was equally calm, and decisively used the bombing step, opened the space, and immediately shot a jump shot with his wrist!
【Ding!It was detected that the host scored +[-] in the game against the Suns, and the wealth value was credited to the account, +[-] US dollars! 】

Swish!
The force of the spin as the basketball hits the net spins the net onto the rim.

Although the flying badge is not activated, this open three-pointer is still a shot through the heart, and it is a steady hit!

[-]-[-]!
"Oh my God! Wu Di is too steady! The offense and defense of this ball are full of details! His move happened to be stuck between Hill and Richardson. This choice of shot point is really nothing to say!"

Yang Yi sighed, although he has already commented on many Wu Di games, but the more he explains, the more he admires him!
"Since he scored [-] points against the Lakers last time, Wu Di's firepower has obviously strengthened again! If it was before, Wu Di might choose to rush into the interior to cause damage, but now he is very decisive in his shots!"

As a former professional player, with more than ten years of commentary experience, Zhang Weiping is keenly aware of the change in Wu Di's playing style.

But Yang Yi didn't realize the epoch-making significance of this change, he continued to explain as usual:

"The camera showed Jordan, oh, there was a lot of applause at the scene! Little Jordan just tried so hard to save the ball. After saving the ball and falling, he got up almost without hesitation and ran to the court to get a rebound. I have to say, Little Jordan is getting more and more energetic!"

"That's right, the fall just now should have been quite hard. You see, the photographer who was also knocked down here just got up now! Little Jordan has been getting better and better recently. After coming to the Cavaliers, he took the starting role. It’s a big step, if you can maintain this momentum, you may be able to climb another level soon!”

Zhang Weiping continued the conversation, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Hey, Nash immediately returned a three-pointer at the top of the arc!"

"Less than [-] seconds before and after! The fans at the scene today are blessed. The Cavaliers and the Suns are teams that don't put much emphasis on defense. It depends on who has more firepower!"

Yang Yi clenched his fists excitedly, and then confirmed to Zhang Weiping who was at the side:

"Hey, Director Zhang, Nash was a member of the [-] club last season, right?"

"Of course, the overall shooting rate is [-]%, the three-point shooting rate is [-]%, and the free throw rate is [-]%, respectively exceeding [-]-[-]-[-], the standard [-] club members!"

Zhang Weiping pinched his fingers and said, but the words changed and he said with a smile:
"However, our Huaxia teenager is also amazing. So far this season, after playing so many games, he has created an extraordinary [-] statistics. The overall shooting rate is [-]%, the three-point shooting rate is [-]%, and the free throw shooting rate is [-]%. Adding up is more than [-]%!"

Yang Yi laughed immediately when he heard the words:

"Haha, I'm also puzzled by this! Generally, players with such data are often insiders who shoot few three-pointers. In this way, the number of three-pointers shot is small, and the touch occasionally explodes a few times. There is no reference value. But Wu Di's average number of three-pointers per game has reached [-] times. This is the number of shots that only the top three-pointers in the league currently have. Like Ray Allen, Junzi Ray, last season, he averaged only [-] times per game. .[-] times, everyone can understand the horror of this data, right?"

Zhang Weiping nodded, and took up the conversation just started again:
"Wu Di's shooting percentage data is very intriguing. According to the difficulty of the three, free throws are the easiest, but Wu Di's free throw shooting percentage is in the front line, which can only be said to be at the level of ordinary stars. Three-pointers are the most difficult. , but Wu Di’s three-point shooting percentage is definitely the top in the league! And we all know that Wu Di, as the core of the Cavaliers’ offense, attracts a lot of defenses. He basically has no open three-point opportunities, and many of them are singles. The ball, the key ball..."

Yang Yi nodded frequently, thought for a while and said:
"Director Zhang, let me tell you. If Nash's [-] club is great, then Wu Di's [-] club is outrageous!"

This sentence successfully made Zhang Weiping laugh, but looking at the live broadcast on the computer, he suddenly stopped laughing and exclaimed:

"Oh my god, I hit it again! This is too far away! Wu Di's shot is close to two steps away from the three-point line!"

Yang Yi was completely stunned. In [-] years, such a shooting distance, unless it is about to exceed the time limit, otherwise it will not appear at all...

He also wanted to talk more about Wu Di's offensive choice for this ball, but Wu Di shot it unexpectedly, and it still hit...

"Hey, you really hit the spot, it's too outrageous, it's unreasonable!"

Zhang Weiping has been playing basketball and commenting on basketball all his life. He was completely speechless when he saw Wu Di's shot choice. He continued:
"This is really incomprehensible, but just now when the camera was shown to Scott, he seemed to be nothing. If this is an ordinary coach, even if he is a star player, he will scold him, unless Wu Di's shooting range is really good. It's that far away, but it's impossible, how can the farther the more accurate, it's unscientific..."

On the field, Wu Di smiled and spread his hands. He was talking trash to Hill just now.

At first, he just uttered the super classic trash talk:

"I cross you like crossing the road in the morning!"

Hill pouted and shook his head. This widely spread trash talk was exactly what Gary Payton told him back then!
Over the past few years, everyone has to say a few words when facing him, showing that he is very literary, but he has already figured out a way to deal with it:

"Early morning is the morning peak, if you have the ability, vote now!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it not only refuted that the road in the early morning was easy to pass, but also turned Wu Di into the army!
Hill is tall and flexible, and he is very good at blocking shots. If the opponent's emotions can't help but shoot, then he has a great chance to block the shot.

Then Wu Di shot, at a position close to two steps away from the three-point line...

Hill laughed out loud, Wu Di is worthy of being a rookie, and it's too easy to get ahead!

He didn't even bother to cover it, there was no need at all, a few dishes, so drunk!
In the end, he got in...

The smile on Hill's face froze, he was very depressed, Wu Di's doing this made him very embarrassed!

But after all, he is an old monster who has played for more than ten years, and he quickly adjusted his mentality. He did not fight against Wu Di, and he still played team basketball, passing and cutting, basically not alone.

Wu Di felt bored at once, but as he defended Hill and felt the smart style of play of "Jordan's successor", he gradually developed respect.

This guy is the handsome version of Durant!
His stature is tall, but his speed is not affected. His ball control is also first-class. He can shoot and shoot. His hit rate is close to [-]%. He has a steady sight!
It's no wonder that he was named "Jordan's successor" by the league, and Jordan became the All-Star vote king!

However, Hill's most impressive deed is his college days, when he led the college team to a [-]-[-] victory over the Dream Team with Jordan, Bird, Magician, Barkley, and O'Neal!
This is a well-known story in the United States. This battle basically directly recommended Hill to the Hall of Fame.

It's a pity that he was ruined by injuries. At the age when he was about to reach his peak, Hill ran into one of the NBA's three quack doctors, the Magic team doctor.

The Magic team doctor had ruined Penny Hardaway and McGrady before, and the treatment of Hill's ankle injury was the biggest medical accident in the NBA.

What was supposed to be an ordinary ankle surgery turned out to be a serious bacterial infection...

After the operation, Hill developed a high fever and convulsions, and had to be given intravenous antibiotics for the next six months, which almost cost him his life. Fortunately, he met the sun doctor later and regained his second life.

Such a person, if there is no injury, how much achievement can he achieve?

Wu Di sighed, and swished his shots. After the first quarter, without any surprise, he led the team to build an [-]-point lead at [-]-[-].

"The Suns played very well today. To be honest, I think this game is the best that Coach Terry can play! But compared with the Cavaliers, they still have a clear gap in firepower !"

Zhang Weiping sighed again and again. It was hard to imagine that the current firepower of the Cavaliers has caught up with the Suns, which are known for their ferocious firepower in the league!
"Three-pointers are more than two-pointers. It's a very simple math problem! With similar shooting percentages on both sides, the Cavaliers took four more three-pointers in a single quarter than the Suns, and they had three more rebounds than the Suns. It's almost seven or eight points!"

Yang Yi smiled and shook his wit, but it caught Zhang Weiping's attention:
"My God, the three-point shooting rate of the Cavaliers is too amazing! A total of [-] shots, [-] of which are three-pointers? What's the situation? It's almost unheard of. The proportion is close to [-]%!"

"I remember that in the first season when Terry was coaching the Suns, their three-point shooting rate was the highest in the league. It seemed to be close to one-third. They were questioned by many media, saying that Terry would not lead the team. I was too anxious, let the players shoot too many three-pointers, etc... As a result, the Cavaliers are now directly at [-]%!"

Yang Yi was also stunned, and then said:

"When you said that, I remembered it, and I was really impressed! But there were many three-point shooters before the Suns, such as Nash, Richardson, Leandro Barbosa, Raja Bell, etc., but the Cavaliers It seems that there are only Wu Di and Gibson, plus half of Jamison, and I remember when Scott led the Hornets before, it wasn't like this..."

"Yes, the Hornets' three-point shooting rate is less than [-]%..."

However, no matter how confused the two commentators were, the Cavaliers still chose three-point shots many times in the second quarter, and the shooting percentage was not bad, further extending the score to [-]-[-]!

"Hey, it's been raining for three minutes, and the sun has been extinguished!"

"The Suns are actually playing well, but the point difference is getting bigger and bigger! Coach Terry's expression today, hehe, is too helpless! It's a bit embarrassing for him to deal with such an emergency situation!"

"That's right, if the Cavaliers can maintain this feeling in the third quarter, basically the game will be over in advance! After all, the Suns have a lineup with older players. If they want to make a comeback in the fourth quarter, there is little hope... "

In the third quarter, the physical strength of the Suns players hadn't gone wrong, but the morale had gone wrong first. This is obviously their comfortable rhythm, but the point difference has reached more than ten points!
Especially Richardson, he played so well at the start today, but he couldn't hold back the growing gap at all...

As it turns out, reaching orgasm too early is not a good thing.

Only with continuous high-frequency output can the waves be higher than the waves!

Just like the Cavaliers, the more they play, the smoother the game, the more proficient the supporting tactics the players have practiced before, and the more room for shots!

So, within half a quarter of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams came to [-] points!
Under the envious and jealous eyes of the veteran NBA cadres of the Suns, Wu Di, a rookie, clocked out of get off work early, earlier than them!
"Take more rest. Tomorrow we will be playing against the [-]ers back-to-back and we will rely on you!"

Scott smiled at Wu Di, who was still full of ideas. Originally, he was worried about the physical problems of the back-to-back teams. Now, it seems that he was too worried!

Hehe, there will be a four-game winning streak soon, and the needle will not poke in these days!
