Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 118 Life is not easy, Wade sighs

That night, the Heat welcomed their first opponent of February, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Before the start of this game, the deal between the two teams with the sixth pick in the first round last summer once again became the focus of media discussion.

Regarding this transaction, "Master Baylor" thought at that time: You may make money, but I will never lose money!

The reason is also very simple. Odom's urination is here. If I can't cure it, you can cure it?

This is very likely to be a rubbish contract worth tens of millions!

Then the sixth pick in the first round...

In fact, after Woody was selected by the Heat, among the remaining choices in the 03 draft, there is no player who seems to have star qualities at a glance!

As things stood, Wade's meniscus made him a No. 15 prospect in the first round.

Only Chicagoans were determined to choose him because of his Chicago roots.

Chris Kaman is a junior, with rough skills, blue-collar style, and weak physical talent, so he can see his potential at a glance.

A little later, such as TJ-Ford who later went to the Bucks, there are also physical hidden dangers...

These people's own shortcomings are not so conspicuous, and there may be certain reasons for their choice.

But in the case of all problems, the idea of ​​"Bailey" is very simple:
Wait another year!
Here's another reason: the Heat's lineup for the new season is full of rookies!

What will happen to a bunch of rookies plus Odom?
Judging from the situation of the Clippers, that is the top ten pick in the first round!

Not to mention, the Heat also lost a second-round pick!

Combining these circumstances, "Lord Baylor" has obtained triple guarantees!
Under such circumstances, if he, Baylor, still dare not gamble, is he still the famous "Lord Baylor"?

The result can be...

To be honest, when Wade played a good performance, he didn't panic!
Fortunately for him, Pat Riley, he got the person he wanted to bet on!

Odom averaged 30 minutes per game, 15 plus 6 plus 6, and when his attitude on the court was correct, he didn't panic...

Even Pat Riley will be able to handle people's hearts, and even Odom has been subdued by him.

But as the season progressed, the Heat still ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and he panicked suddenly.

This is the key factor of "the Heat may make money, but he will never lose"!
The Heat's ranking has always been so high, how can he get the high pick in the first round of 04?
Can this old bird's "dog luck" really be like this?
"Lord Baylor" didn't understand, but he was really envious, and had a faint urge to break up with this "old dog"!

Damn!

The media were also shocked by this deal. Pat Riley could actually make such a profit. After all, the conditions were too harsh!
Also, new players with problematic attitudes must not have any problems off the court when they have a big contract; they have to gamble on the performance of "older rookies" with big hidden dangers, and the team needs to perform well...

It may also be difficult, the Heat will be the biggest "dark horse" in the league this season before the rise of the Timberwolves!
"Baylor" doesn't want to think about anything now, he can only break up with Pat Riley!

The Heat won the game without any suspense.

Odom's departure did not make any changes to this team, and it is still as big as ever.

Apparently...

Odom is really just a "shit stir stick".

If you want to transform the Clippers into a strong team, it is not enough to just throw away this "stick"!

The most frustrating point for Clippers fans is:
This "shit stir stick" played well in tonight's game.

A "triple double" of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists!
He fully displayed his "left-handed magician" demeanor.

Odom's characteristic style is indeed very obvious. As long as he faces a team with the "traditional 100th position" on the opposite side, so that he can bring out his characteristics of holding the ball from the outside, then the more he plays, the better he will be. Showing an omnipotent side, what kind of mid-range shot, passing the ball without looking at others, and even playing singles with the ball with ease. In terms of talent alone, PDD is definitely the best group of people in the league. It may be singled out. None of the abilities can reach 85 points, but the comprehensive transcripts with most of the abilities above [-] points can also be described as "horrible".

Just like someone, don't care how he won the NBA's all-time scoring leader, if he can get it, it is a truth that his ability cannot be denied!
Let's talk about someone, don't worry about how he won the 4 championship MVPs, he can change to three teams and still win the finals MVP, you have to admit that he has a good eye for choosing partners.

Another protagonist of this game, Wade, also played very well, scoring 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Where do these two people get the data?

Aren't these knives stabbed in the body of "Lord Baylor"?
But Wade is not very excited tonight.

Before the game, the picture of Woody holding the "Rookie of the Month" trophy in one hand and the "Player of the Week" trophy in the other hand stimulated him.

The whole cheek is full of such emotions:
I'm not even close!

That's not enough to get me excited!

No, after the interview, he ran to the training ground of the arena to train again.

That serious look, if Pat Riley saw it, he would definitely nod with satisfaction.

But what Wade wanted was not just his satisfied nod.

The game against the Clippers reminded him once again that he is a rookie signed by the draft pick specially traded by Pat Riley. This is a deal that almost no one is optimistic about before the transaction. Only his Teacher Pat Riley, now he proves that his teacher's vision is right!
But he wants to prove that Pat Riley's eyes are not only correct, but also discerning!

Come on, Wade, try to become a super rookie as outstanding as Woody!
Ok……

This is "Candide" Wade's current thinking.

Watching Woody step on the other two of the "Three Great Talents", Wade no longer expects that he can perform better than Woody!
Concubines can't do it!

He has only one idea now, and he can't exceed it. As long as he can equalize, that would be considered excellent...

Anyway, no one would think that his goal was low.

In this way, Wade kept chanting Woody's name silently in his heart, desperately holding the ball to make breakthroughs again and again.

Entering the league until now, he is very clear that his advantage lies in the first step of breakthrough.

He also had a vague feeling that he could turn this into his "unique killer move", but with his brain, he couldn't grasp the key.

So he can only use the simplest and crudest method:

Repeat over and over again!

He believes that he can finally get the trick in this boring training!
He was too focused on training, and he seemed to have forgotten it. He just finished a game. Although the intensity was not high, it was an NBA level game, and his calf muscles gradually became sore.

"Crack-cheep-"

There was the screeching sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor.

In Wade's breakthrough in another change of direction, when his left foot stepped on the ground, his entire ankle shook violently uncontrollably, and then he fell directly to the ground.

There was severe pain in the ankle.

WT...F?

Wade knew that something was wrong with him, and his expression became inexplicably sadder:
Isn't this bullying honest people?

Originally, Wade thought that only Woody bullied him as an honest man, but unexpectedly, now God is bullying him as an honest man.

Struggling to get up, looking up, he saw an old man's face which was full of wrinkles, and even deep in the wrinkles were written with cruelty.

It's just that the old man's face is full of astonishment at this moment:

"Wei, Wade, you, are you okay?"

Wade could clearly feel the urgency in his tone, which warmed Wade's heart.

You can go to shoot Youlemei milk tea commercials.

When the team doctor came, after a careful examination, the result given was:
I practiced so much that I sprained my foot.

Looking at the ankle that soon became swollen like a steamed bun, the team doctor's face became a little more dignified.

This sprain is too hard-core, and it is necessary to check whether there is any bone and soft tissue injury.

However, he first gave Wade a preliminary judgment: "Even if there are no problems with the bones and soft tissues, you should rest for at least a week with this injury, and at least half a month can't be used for additional training. Your body has already given a warning." Now, you have to pay attention to physical fatigue management!"

Listening to the doctor's words, Wade's cheeks became more "swollen" from grief.

Life is not easy, Ah Wei sighed.

Pat Riley was listening to the team doctor's opinion, but he was not so impatient.

He understood that it was just a sprain. Is this an injury?

Little things little things!

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death.

He was very satisfied with Wade's awareness, and patted Wade's head in satisfaction before leaving.

He didn't say anything, but he seemed to say everything.

There was not so much frustration on Wade's face immediately, he could clearly feel that he had walked into Pat Riley's heart.

Seeing Woody soon!
Early the next morning, Woody also found out about Wade's injury.

Further examination results have come out, and the good news is that Wade's bones and soft tissues have not been injured, just a simple injury.

About ten days of rest will do.

"Don't practice too hard, buddy, you just entered the league..." Woody persuaded.

Although Wade is 22 years old, it is the first time for him to experience such a schedule and intensity. His body must be in a load period, and he should take a good rest during this period.

How can this kind of intensity training be carried out?
Hearing this, Wade almost ran away.

You have the nerve to say such a thing!
Who is it all because of?
Isn't it because of you?

If you hadn't practiced so fiercely, how could I have reached this level?

MMP!

Advise the brothers to practice less, and then manage the arena by themselves, right?

How poisonous your heart is!

Wade became angrier as he thought about it and turned his head to the side.

It suddenly occurred to him that he couldn't train during this period of time, would he be pulled away by Woody again?
Did I just get closer by working so hard?

Woody stared at his sudden emotion and was slightly taken aback.

But then he thought that it was normal for the child to be a little depressed because of the sudden injury, so he didn't take it to heart.

Ok……

Woody didn't realize at all that there was a fellow student named Dwyane Wade in the team who had always regarded him as an opponent and was trying to catch up.

But there is no way, who let this year's fellow students also have Carmelo Anthony, and his "good brother" LeBron James?

Woody really has no time to take care of other people!
Stan Van Gundy made adjustments to the Heat's starting lineup in the afternoon.

"Streetball King" Ralph Alston was placed in the No. 1 position by him.

During this period of time, under the hoarse roar of Stan Van Gundy, Alstom's "show off skills" slowly disappeared, and he became a qualified No. [-] player.

Compared with Wade, he does not have such a strong breakthrough ability with the ball, but his passing ability and shooting ability are much better than Wade in this period.

Stan Van Gundy felt that he could replace Wade and play pick-and-roll tactics with Woody.

The Heat's next opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

Absolutely tough!

Even if the full-stacked Heat team wants to deal with this team, it is not so easy.

But there is such a favorable factor. The game between the Pistons and the Heat is their second "back-to-back".

There is a problem with their physical fitness!
So even without Wade in this game, in the eyes of the outside world, the Heat's chances of winning are the bigger side.

The Pistons are currently only fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The arrival of Larry Brown didn't make the Eastern Conference's No. [-] team go any further.

Speaking of which, this season the Pistons management should not be ridiculed very much.

First of all, the Rick Carlisle they don't want now makes the Pacers top in the Eastern Conference; secondly, if Rick Carlisle is in the team, then they will definitely take Woody with the second pick in the first round without hesitation!
It's unbelievable how beautiful this picture is!
Larry Brown has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Not only the above two reasons, but another reason is that...

Milicic finally made his professional debut in January.

In the game against the New York Knicks on January 1, the Pistons had a 15-point gap early. In the last 19 minute and 1 seconds, Larry Brown let the long-awaited Milicic play.

Playing this time can be said to be very unexpected. No one thought that Larry Brown would let him play at this time.

Including Milicic himself.

The result this time was that Milicic was completely unprepared, and for nearly 2 minutes, no data came into the account.

00000!

Serbia's "Sao Zero" ended his first game in his career.

After the game, Larry Brown was ridiculed by the crowd.

After all, he held Milicic in for so long, and ended up holding back such a thing. You said how could the outside media not see his jokes.

In the face of these groups of ridicules, Larry Brown believes that the main reason is because he has softened his heart!
Knowing that Milicic is a waste and useless at all, he still softened his heart and gave him playing time...

If he doesn't play Milicic, will he still be ridiculed?
Obviously not!

So, it's not clear who the problem is?
Milicic, just train me to death, don't even think about playing!
