Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 193 Let’s add Woody’s name
Woody's words were almost shouted towards the audience.

The excited Heat fans responded to Woody's call with their shouts.

The atmosphere at the scene was called "fiery youth".

Woody's performance tonight is definitely qualified to shout such words.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, after shouting, Woody became more aggressive and did whatever he wanted under the Cavaliers' basket, turning the Cavaliers' basket into his own back garden.

Big Z now mainly plays more role on the offensive end.

His skills at the basket are still rich.

There's only so much you can do on the defensive end.

Apart from compressing space, there is no more obvious effect.

But he not only compressed Woody's offensive space, but also compressed LeBron James' offensive space.

Even when the Heat are attacking, Haslem, who has mid-range jump shooting ability, walks towards the elbow or corner, he has to follow him out, so that most of the time, he can only compress under the basket. LeBron's offensive space.

After all, this guy's offensive methods outside the "three-second zone" are really limited.

And since he can't get the ball, his presence is further reduced.

Judging from Woody's feelings against the Cavaliers so many times, to be honest, Big Z is really not suitable for his former teammates.

What LeBron James needs more is a player like him who can "eat the pie", work at high altitude, and can also actively make up defense on the defensive end.

To put it bluntly, LeBron only learned how to attack with the ball in his four years of high school. He didn’t know how to share the ball or what to do when he didn’t have the ball.

Unless he is equipped with stronger teammates, Woody feels that it will be really difficult for this Cavaliers team to make the playoffs.

LeBron James's per-game statistics are often not directly related to whether the team wins.

If you ask a 70-year-old woman to play 40 minutes every night, she will always gain something.

Because it is impossible for any team to maintain full fighting spirit for 48 minutes, there will always be ups and downs in form at some stage.

Even Michael Jordan will always encounter such a situation.

This gives players with LeBron James's style of play the opportunity to get data on the court.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to explain why, with his comprehensive statistics, the team could not make the playoffs.

This is the only example of this in this year's league.

Of course, he doesn't care what happened to LeBron James. What he has to do now is to continue to dominate the basket and win the game beautifully.

Neither Big Z nor Drew Gooden has the ability to intercept Woody at the basket.

LeBron James is even more miserable now.

He originally thought that Woody was deliberately trying to get high scores on him, but he didn't expect that this guy was holding back his energy not for him, but to compete with the Heat fans.

Why the hell do you still know that we are the "Saint Mary Twins"?

Have you lost sight of me so quickly?
Is it so great to reach the Eastern Conference Finals once?

His desire to attack became stronger.

only……

Gerald Wallace is getting more and more excited now, and his defensive intensity is increasing unabated, giving him no chance to breathe at all.

Even though the game came to the last 4 minutes, Gerrard still maintained a high-intensity personal defense.

"Bah!"

It was also at this time that Woody dunked.

The cheers directly flooded the arena.

After this goal, Woody's score in this game officially reached 51 points!
This is the first time in his career that he has scored 50 points in a single game.

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout to celebrate this career milestone.

Shaquille O'Neal, who was wearing a suit, took the initiative to come over and give Woody a hug: "Congratulations, you entered the 50-point club!"

50 points in a single game is a watershed number in the NBA.

Except for some players who occasionally eat dumplings, those who can score this much in a single game are all super scorers in this league.

It can be said that those who score 50 points in a single game are not necessarily the league's super giants, but the super giants must have performed 50 points in a single game.

This is difficult for some insiders, after all, they can only score 2 points and 1 point.

But facts have proven that even if it is just that, as long as you are a super model in all aspects of ability, you can still score 50 points in a single game.

To prove this, Shaquille O'Neal scored 60 points in a single game on his "birthday night"!
Now, in order to prove that this team is worth watching, Woody also "exploded" and scored 51 points in a single game.

It wasn't just 51 points, because the game wasn't over yet.

But Stan Van Gundy chose to replace Woody after the timeout.

There were constant cheers for Woody, but this did not make Stan Van Gundy change his mind. He still put Woody off the court.

Because the Heat already led by 18 points, there were only 4 minutes left in the game.

In fact, Stan Van Gundy was waiting for this time to let Woody score his first 50 points in his career, and then replaced him.

But after he was replaced, the seal on LeBron James became loose.

It's really difficult to restrict LeBron with just a hot-blooded Gerald Wallace.

but……

Trailing by 18 points, with 4 minutes left, he made breakthrough layups again and again and scored 2 points...

Well, it's not a very good review anyway.

So much so that LeBron James was so unstoppable on the court that he scored 3 points in 8 minutes. However, the commentator who was bragging about him in the commentary box, except for the Cleveland Sports Station, all the other commentators chose to continue talking about Woody's single game. 51 points!
While LeBron scored 8 points in a row, the Heat also scored.

Although the scoring speed is not as fast as LeBron, the 18-point difference is there.

Starting from the last 2 minutes, Alston and Jones took turns to suppress the attack time.

At the end of the game, despite LeBron's aggressive attack, the Cavaliers still lost the game 91 to 103, with a score difference of 12 points.

LeBron James relied on his "crazy" scoring at the last minute to bring his game statistics to 27 points, in addition to 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Compared with usual performance, there is not much difference.

In fact, this game is the most luxurious data he has obtained since he and Woody have played against each other so many times.Unfortunately……

Woody's statistics are far more luxurious than his.

比赛最后4分钟离场，全场打了38分钟，砍下了51分15篮板4助攻4盖帽2抢断！

If LeBron James' performance is already at the "super giant" level, then Woody is a "god" level that is even higher than him!
Woody crushed LeBron again!

At the same time, his career winning streak against the Cavaliers has also reached 5 consecutive victories.

LeBron James continued his career winless record against Woody.

"It's better to let this kid escape!"

When the game whistle blew, Woody really immediately headed in the direction of LeBron James, but he could only watch his quickly leaving back.

At times like this, Woody can always feel the amazing explosive power and speed of his former teammate!

Post-match interview session.

LeBron James: "I didn't have any problems playing, at least in my opinion. The reason the team lost was because they didn't restrict Woody. I fully understand his ability. He is so unstoppable. Of course there are The reason why we didn't target him effectively is that we lost a good opportunity, which is a very helpless situation, but the league is still going on and we must look to our next game."

The reporter asked: "Aren't you going to congratulate Woody for scoring the first 50 points of his career tonight?"

LeBron James forced a smile, and then said: "Of course, I will definitely congratulate him, but this is our private matter!"

In fact, he was a little unhappy, because one of the few things he could do to overpower Woody was his career-high score in a single game.

Now his few facets have become even less...

Originally, LeBron was just dealing with the reporters, but after thinking about what he had said in front of the media, he finally took out his cell phone and sent Woody a congratulatory message.

Because he was not sure whether Woody would suddenly reveal that he did not send this text message after seeing the content of his interview.

Others might not do that, but Woody, in his mind, certainly did.

This man’s character is real…

cheap!
But this is LeBron worrying too much.

It must have been hard for Woody to see news reports about him the next day because...

Sports media across the United States were all blown away by Woody's personal performance!
毕竟51分15篮板4助攻4盖帽2抢断这样的数据已经很久没有内线球员打出来了。

His last teammate, Shaquille O'Neal, scored an even more exaggerated 60 points and 23 rebounds!

Then there was Tim Duncan's 01 points and 51 rebounds in 13.

After entering 00, Woody's data should be the most explosive among insider players after these two!
The age when Woody produced this data was 19 years and 6 months!

This is much scarier than Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan...

"There is no doubt that this kid will be the representative figure in the next era. He will probably rule an era for a longer time than I did!" Shaquille O'Neal expressed himself in an interview with the Miami Times My thoughts on Woody’s explosive performance.

Dwyane Wade said in an interview with the New York Times media: "He is the kind of teammate who will make you feel the huge gap between you and him from time to time. Even if he doesn't speak, he can still use his words. His performance conquers everyone, and the American Airlines Arena will be filled with people every night because of him, and you will gradually discover this!"

Wade's words also caused heated discussion in Miami.

A group of Woody's die-hard fans took to the streets to complain that the city ignored Woody:

"We already have probably the greatest player of the first decade of this century, why can't we show him how passionate we are about him!"

"Don't let Miami be Woody's sad place, we are getting our own Michael Jordan!"

“We need to swallow our snubs lest we regret it in the future!”

……

In fact, if a player openly shouts, "I am the reason why you come to the arena to watch the game," it is easy for the crowd to laugh at you, especially in a city where the basketball atmosphere is not very strong, especially if you are only a sophomore, and you Didn't lead this team to the finals, let alone a championship.

This can easily give people the impression of being "arrogant".

On the contrary, it will affect the team's image.

But after Woody's words, many Heat fans began to reflect on their attitudes.

The reason is very simple, it is Woody's explosive performance last night.

"Sports Illustrated" temporarily changed its cover, replacing a set of pictures previously taken of Woody with the "Pistons Five" that had already been photographed together, with the text: "The new overlord of the NBA!"

How to describe the influence of Sports Illustrated?

Let's put it this way, the first person to shout out the "Son of the Chosen" slogan to LeBron James was none other than Sports Illustrated.

It was also an article in "Sports Illustrated", and the high school student LeBron had just become famous.

Only after that, in just a few years, did Sports Illustrated change its focus to someone else.

Facts have proved that their vision was not wrong.

LeBron is indeed the "Chosen One."

In his second season in the league, he averaged 27 plus 7 plus 7 per game.
He is only 19 years old!
But compared to Woody, he always feels like something is missing.

Now Woody uses this game to make everyone understand, that is three words:

Dominance!
LeBron's performance was indeed outstanding, but the moments when he had an impact on the game were minimal.

He does a good job most of the time, but at critical moments he needs help more than usual!
As for Woody, his ability to tackle difficult situations is impressive.

Whether it was his missed field goal attempts against the Pistons, his consecutive mid-range shots at critical moments, or his single-handed control of the Cavaliers' interior in yesterday's game, this is a display of his dominance.

In most of the games he played well, he won!
In most of the games where LeBron James performed well, one thing must be admitted. LeBron James' performance is very stable. He can always get such and such data after a game. It is very gorgeous, but The team is only ranked ninth and tenth in the Eastern Conference...

Just like last season…

This is enough to illustrate the problem.

Anyway, the huge improvement he has made has not made the Cavaliers better, which is one of the problems illustrated.

Woody has shown his dominance, and it's not just Sports Illustrated that thinks so.

Los Angeles Times: “Now there are two sharks in Miami!”

"Bleacher Report": "Pat Riley is indeed more suitable to stay in the position of general manager, which reduces the hidden dangers of the Heat's palace struggles to 0%!"

ESPN even took a sip of poisonous milk: "It's time to overturn Steve Nash's remarks about locking the regular season MVP. Let's add Woody's name!"
