Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 102 Worried Woody

Woody broke Karl Malone's ribs?
When the news came back to the scene, there was a huge booing in the auditorium.

It's not that Los Angeles people like Malone so much.

But as the "die-hard fans" of the Lakers, their first reaction is...

How long will it take for Karl Malone to recover, will this affect the Lakers' regular season journey and the most important playoff journey.

This made them look at Woody on the big screen, full of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Kobe, who heard the news on the bench, subconsciously covered his face with a white towel, pretending to wipe his sweat.

so close!

Almost laughed out loud!

Fortunately, covered!

Ok……

When Kobe heard the news, his first reaction was to laugh.

No way, as long as he is a man, he will not allow others to moles his wife.

It's just that due to his teammates and his current situation, he can't do more radical things.

But at this time, don't expect him to stand on Karl Malone's side and blame Woody!

This is impossible!

Covering his smiling face with a towel is his last respect for the Lakers.

Shaq - O'Neal mouth into an "O" shape.

Hearing this news, he really felt incredible.

Karl Malone is recognized as an "iron man" by the league. He has never rested for a few games throughout his entire career, and his physical endurance is incredible.Woody could actually break this guy's ribs in one go!

This……

He subconsciously touched his ribs.

Thick fat wrapping...

Shaq O'Neal was a little scared, and he had a lot of confrontations with Woody.

Now it seems that this little rookie has shown mercy to his subordinates!

Sure enough, the image of a kind "senior" is still necessary!
Now this group of young people are really ruthless...

In the auditorium beside the court, Lindsay was also full of fear.

She suddenly felt that she was too naughty sometimes.

Fortunately, Mrs. Woody has a lot, so he didn't bother with her.

But she still couldn't help turning her head and peeking at Megan Fox next to her: "Woody... he shouldn't have any violent tendencies, right?"

Megan Fox and Woody have actually only stayed on the Internet twice, and they are really not very familiar, but she felt a bit like an outsider just now, in order to show her sense of existence, she coughed twice, As if I knew him well, he said: "Don't worry, he's a gentleman, and he probably didn't do it on purpose. Look at how serious he looks... He probably won't feel good when he hears the news!"

Lindsay followed what she said, looked at Woody, and nodded deeply.

Really sad.

This sad appearance made people want to touch his head and hug his arm.

and so……

"When the game is over, you go first!"

"Eh?"

Megan Fox's words almost flashed Lindsay's 17-year-old "water snake waist".

"Whoa, man, did you break Karl Malone's ribs?" Odom turned to look at Woody, as if he were looking at a stranger.

In the last game, Woody's toughness in the face of Artest has refreshed his understanding of Woody.Now he has once again refreshed his understanding of Woody.

this dude...

Looking at the sunny boy, in fact...

It's really not easy to mess with!

Woody frowned slightly when he heard the news.

Unexpectedly, Karl Malone was really injured...

only……

How come he doesn't feel any guilt at all?

On the contrary, Karl Malone's various dangerous elbow movements kept flashing through his mind.

Hearing that Karl Malone was injured, Woody's first reaction was:
Will the public opinion after the game have any negative impact on him!
If he bears the title of "villain", although it will help him gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

But his commercial image has been greatly compromised...

Everything that is difficult to make money is something Woody is unwilling to do.

So much so that at this moment he felt a little bit annoyed, even if the opponent was Karl Malone, he would have struck too hard!

In the fourth quarter, the two sides became more intense, but the Heat still had the last laugh.

Kobe scored 11 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. Only looking at the scoring data, he regained his bravery in the first half.

But to score these 11 points, Kobe took 11 shots and made all 4 free throws. Leaving aside these 4 free throws, Kobe only scored 11 points in 8 shots, 2 of which were 3-pointers, which is equivalent to 11. 3 shots, this efficiency is not high by any means.

The "Peter Pan" play in the fourth quarter is no different from that in the third quarter.

It's just that he found his form, hit two difficult three-pointers, and the kills at the basket won the referee's whistle.

It's a pity that this style of play is doomed to be difficult to score efficiently under the defensive arrangement of the Heat tonight.

This is the case on the offensive end, but they still have no good way to solve the cooperation between Woody and Wade on the defensive end.

Wade scored another 7 points in the fourth quarter. He only took 5 shots and hit 3 of them, including a "2 plus 1".

Woody has been focusing on the defensive end since the tactical adjustment in the second half. He sent 4 blocks in the third quarter and got 2 more blocks in the fourth quarter.Or give it all to Kobe.

Yes!

In the second half alone, Woody gave Kobe 4 blocks.

Including 1 block in the first half, Woody sent a total of 7 blocks in the audience.

This is a new career high for him.

However, tonight's Woody's performance in scoring and rebounding is not outstanding.

Got 12 rebounds.

Only 1 of them had offensive rebounds.

For him who has averaged 12.8 rebounds per game so far this season, it can only be regarded as a normal performance.

The audience scored only 12 points.

If rebounding is a normal performance, then his scoring is a bit low.

But this can't be helped, most of his offensive methods are concentrated in the basket, tonight's Lakers have Karl Malone and Shaq O'Neal under the basket.The two move slowly, but standing under the basket, the ability to compress the space under the basket is second to none.

Woody didn't have many chances to attack the rim tonight.

The ability to mobilize the inside is not as good as Wade.

Therefore, in this game, he himself was deliberately reducing unnecessary shots, and his efficiency was very high, with 8 of 6 shots.

It's a pity that tonight's free throw efficiency was not very good, and all 3 shots were lost.

In the first half, there was no feeling of free throws. In the second half, there were too many shots blocked, and the touch felt off.

但所有数据加在一块，12分12篮板7盖帽3助攻1抢断……

Still very comprehensive!
Wade's scoring data tonight is very good. Although he only scored 22 points in the end, 17 of them were scored in the second half!
With the help of Woody's pick-and-roll, he let Gary Payton know what "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gary Payton unconsciously put his hand on his waist.

It's really not as good as before!

他这场比赛拿了10分3篮板5助攻，表现跟他赛季平均的14.2分4.5篮板5.5助攻差不了多少。但他10分里，有7分是在上半场拿的。下半场在进攻端找到自信的韦德，将他限制得很好。

He is limited at this point, which is why the Heat dare to attack Kobe with confidence.

For the "OK" combination, Kobe scored 38 points tonight, 20 points in the first half, and 18 points in the second half. It seems that his state is maintained very well, but his efficiency in the second half is almost not even half of that in the first half.

Shaq O'Neal only had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in this game.

In addition to the fact that the Heat narrowed the double-team to prevent him from receiving the ball, there is another point that his offensive desire tonight is not high, especially when Woody gave Kobe one after another big caps, he became a The "spectators" on the field.

It's just a matter of asking Woody for the big hat pose he imagined!
4 blocked shots, he really enjoyed it...

As soon as the game ended, amidst the boos of the audience, he hugged Woody who was standing nearby without hesitation, regardless of the emotions of any Lakers fans: "Dude, you really let me tonight!" I'm very impressed, can all of you Huaxia players block shots like this?"

The last time Yao Ming gave him three caps in the opening game.

He was speechless.

But he likes Woody more than Yao Ming.

After all, Woody's "Under the Hat" is Kobe!

Woody just forced a smile, he was still worried about the public opinion after the game.

O'Neill showed his super high emotional intelligence and keenly captured Woody's worries. He hugged Woody and said goodbye to him: "Dude, don't worry, Karl Malone is not very popular. After the game is over, not many will speak for him, don't worry!"

Thick palms clapped on Woody's shoulders, adding a sense of trust to his words.

Woody also had a few more smiles on his face.

To Woody's surprise, after Shaq O'Neal greeted him, he turned around and saw Kobe, who seemed to be waiting to greet him.

This……

Kobe has a big problem with his emotional intelligence.

This can be seen from the whole process of his handling of the Eagle County incident.

As long as he takes a "wrong" step, the whole situation will not be so bad.

But you can say that he has a low EQ. In last year's All-Star Game, he took the initiative to comfort Yao Ming who was nervous before the game. He even took the initiative to call Yao Ming to jump the ball during the jump ball.

It's just that Tim Duncan tends to feel loveless throughout the process.

This person still has a bit of emotional intelligence, but he is often in a state of "arrears and shutdown".

Right now this is...

Feet off the ground?
Emotional intelligence has taken over the high ground again?
In fact, when Kobe's game ended, he planned to leave. Woody and O'Neal had a fierce fight, and he was automatically "blacklisted" by him.

But Shaquille O'Neal, who was blocked, and Karl Malone, who had a broken rib, flashed through his mind.

He felt that if he left like this, it would undoubtedly be another test of his emotional intelligence.

Since O'Neal can smile with him when he is blocked, he, who was blocked four times, stepped forward to encourage Woody, who is a rookie. Wouldn't this be a great talk in the NBA in the future?

"Man, you are great, looking forward to the next fight with you!"

In his opinion, these words are sufficiently open-minded, showing his heart.

only……

Woody's mind was in what Shaq O'Neal said.

Really, will a lot of people speak for me?
He is usually not a person who worries about gains and losses. If it were other things, he would not be so anxious, but for factors related to making money, Woody could easily fall into self-entanglement before the results came out.

To put it bluntly, he has not experienced enough, after all, he has just turned 18 years old.

So much so that at this moment when he looked at Kobe, he just barely pulled the corner of his mouth.

Kobe was not happy at the time, he laughed so happily with O'Neill, now I'm playing the "goddess of high coldness", right?

I am not "licking dogs"!
"Next time, wait until you die!"

Leaving this sentence, Kobe turned around and left, leaving Woody with question marks all over his head.

isn't it?
Didn't he just cover four of you in the game, so you hold grudges?
No wonder people say that Kobe is stingy. When I saw him today, he was really stingy!

After the game, Woody was stopped in the player tunnel of the visiting team. The reporters immediately saw that the map of the "Yan Kingdom" was not opened at all, and they directly asked about Karl Malone's broken ribs.

After Woody made sure the question didn't tempt him to say something like "I did it on purpose," he said, "I'm sorry this happened, and I don't want it to happen, but it's gone now." It happened, I can only express my regret and hope that Karl Malone will return to the game as soon as possible!"

He also specially recalled his answer, felt that after expressing what he should express, he answered a few more questions, then pushed away the circle surrounded by the reporters, and stepped on the bus of the Heat team.

As soon as he got in the car and sat down next to Odom, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was Megan Fox's phone.

Oh, right!

Just say I forgot something...

He left without saying hello to this woman!
I guess she will be very angry.

Woody understood his situation very well, so he stuffed the phone back into his trouser pocket.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

This principle also applies to dealing with the relationship between men and women.

Since Megan might be angry, it's better not to answer the call.

Wait for another half an hour, and reply a message, saying that I didn't see it during the interview, and all the problems were solved.

At once……

perfect!

But when Woody turned his head to look out the car window, he saw a pair of angry "fox eyes".

There are billions of points of familiarity.

Megan Fox and Lindsay were standing outside the car window.

In other words, Megan Fox had a panoramic view of Woody's actions just now.

OK!

The call came again.

Woody squeezed out a special smile for shooting posters, looked at the furious Megan Fox, picked up the phone again, and pressed the answer button.

"Scumbag, go to hell!"

Megan Fox almost yelled, causing Woody to subconsciously keep the phone away from his ears.

"If I say that I misread the name, that's why I didn't answer the phone... Would you believe me?" Woody suddenly came up with such an excuse, "You know, I'm from Huaxia, and my English is not good. Misreading the name is normal."

"really?"

This is definitely an excuse that can't be made up any more.

But it turns out that God gave Megan Fox a conspicuous beauty in the crowd, and indeed took away a lot of things from her.

Especially when it comes to the brain...

***
After successfully appeasing Megan Fox, Woody called "Magic" Johnson on the way back.

The current media industry is underdeveloped, and what kind of public opinion will be aroused by his breaking Karl Malone's ribs will not be known until tomorrow at the earliest.However, Johnson, as a "media social butterfly", has countless media resources in his hands, and also has many well-known journalists on the phone. If you make a call with them, you will know the general attitude of the mainstream media.

Johnson already knew about this matter at this moment, and had sent a text message to Woody and made a phone call before, but Woody had just returned to the car and hadn't had time to see it.

"Then let me make a long story short, just now I have roughly understood the attitudes in the circle, Woody, don't worry, they are basically on your side..."

There are two main reasons:
One is that Woody does have an obvious elbow movement.

But that happened after Karl Malone elbowed him.

This is a legitimate defense, give a strong response!
The second is that Karl Malone's reputation is indeed as bad as Shaq O'Neal said.

He and Stockton were in Salt Lake City, and no one paid any attention to them. But in any other city, the media would have already attacked them.

Some players are capable, but have no exposure.

Tim Duncan is one such player, and so is Karl Malone.

But the style of the two of them is very different.

The reason lies in Karl Malone's dirty offensive and defensive tricks.

Let his iron elbows become injured players, and there are more than one hand to count.

There are countless people who have suffered dark losses under his iron elbow.

Whose side do you think these people will be on at this time?
Hearing what Johnson said, Woody immediately became relaxed.

Early the next morning, public opinion was indeed in favor of Woody, as Johnson said.

　I have something to do today, I will add more words tomorrow.There is also tomorrow, the last day of July, ask for a monthly pass.
