Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 85
After 6 preseason games, Woody's performance is indeed getting better and better.

最后一场比赛只打了28分14秒，便拿下了14分8篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽的数据。

这要是换算成36分钟，那就是17.9分10.2篮板3.8助攻1.3抢断2.6盖帽！

What is "comprehensive"?
This is "comprehensive"!
In the last preseason game, Pat Riley also came to the scene. Whenever Woody played well, the scene shots would always be given to Pat Riley as soon as possible.

Pat Riley, who has always been stern and serious, smiled frequently tonight.

This attitude says it all, Woody's performance made him very satisfied.

整个6场季前赛打完，伍迪6场比赛场均可以拿到16.5分10.5篮板3.5助攻2.5盖帽！

It's about the same as when he converted the efficiency of the last game into 36 minutes.

That's why Pat Riley smiles when he sees Woody play well.

If it's just a game, he's smiling at most.

Just like Wade, he had the best performance in the 6 preseason games, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, but he couldn't maintain these performances and was prone to struggle.

Woody also struggled, the worst game in the 6 preseason games, he shot less than 40% from the field and only scored 9 points, but he also got 13 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game .

He has his own "basic plate"!
When his offensive means struggled, he also frequently contributed bright spots.

This is where Wade can't compare to Woody.

Originally, Wade was still a little bit unconvinced about Woody being the starter.

But after playing 6 preseason games, he has to admit that he is younger than him and has never played in the NCAA. He has a strong adaptability and is indeed more stable than him!
Here's what Spoelstra had to say:

In his opinion, Woody's stability is because he has a more thorough understanding of the Heat's tactics. Players with high golf quotient are not prone to nights when they perform abnormally, because he knows how to adjust himself. Even if he doesn't adjust himself, he can quickly contribute in other ways.

Wade's breakthrough skills with the ball are definitely top-notch in the league, but he doesn't have a clear understanding of the Heat's tactics, and sometimes the cooperation with his teammates is not clear.

When it shouldn't be a breakthrough, he made a breakthrough; when it was time to pass the ball, he chose to make a forced shot!
It's not that Wade's golf intelligence is a problem.

It's just that when compared with Woody, his "stupid" stands out.

Dwyane Wade doesn't dare to look up when he sees Pat Riley now. He is just one pick behind Woody. He is still an "old rookie" known for his immediate combat power, and his stability is not as good as that of a high school player. Health, it made him feel sorry for Pat Riley, this is the sign that the coach sacrificed his chips for!He didn't want to disappoint Pat Riley.

He can do it now, and there is only one thing left, and that is:
practice!
He's under a lot of pressure, and LeBron James is under a lot of pressure.

As this year's "No. [-] pick" who was called "King" by ESPN before he entered the league, he came to the NBA, and he should be: I see and I conquer.

But now let's not talk about playing the momentum of "Wizards not seen in 30 years"!
He can't even beat the rookies of the same class.

Woody's 6 preseason averages are so comprehensive and dazzling. There is also a Carmelo Anthony in the West who is also known as the "peerless double pride" with him. In the 6 preseason games, he averaged 19.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. 3 assists, which is also the data of a top player in the league.

Compared with the two of them, LeBron James' "6 plus 18 plus 6" data in the 6 preseason games is not bad, but there is no shining point.

The Goodman brothers have been under a lot of pressure recently, and the Nike team is a little dissatisfied with LeBron James' growth rate.In this regard, the Goodman brothers said angrily: "Don't just put pressure on us, you should show your influence! LeBron James has become a unique player, which is a good thing for both of us, isn't it! "

These words made the Nike team temporarily shut up, but they also knew that LeBron James must also perform better!

And now, there is a big event in front of them...

The "opener" of the Cavaliers!
LeBron James' first game in the NBA!
The previous summer league and the just-finished preseason have all passed, and it doesn’t matter whether they overwhelm other rookies. As long as this opening game is played well, then LeBron James will still be "the favorite of heaven" , the most shining star of the 03 session!

"Nike recorded a promotional video for you before the opening game. This has never been treated like this by any rookie in the NBA. Boy, the road has been paved for you, and the rest will depend on your performance!"

LeBron James frowned slightly. He hated the Goodman brothers talking to him in a father-like tone, but he also knew that what he should focus on now is:

Opener!
Now facing Woody and Carmelo Anthony, he has been defeated again and again, and he can't perform better than these two people. He doesn't like "three-legged confrontation", he prefers "one family dominates"!
In this opener, he must perform well!
On October 10, Nike officially released the "Opening Game" promotional video specially recorded for LeBron James.

There was an uproar from the outside world.

Everyone saw the fact that Nike praised LeBron James, but they didn't expect that Nike could do it to this extent!
Isn't this too flattering?

But the thing that really caused an uproar in the outside world is still to come. Nike just released the "opening game" promotional video recorded for LeBron James in the morning, and Adidas also released the "opening game" promotional video specially recorded for Woody.

This is also the first time Adidas has this attitude towards a newcomer.

Before that, except for McGrady, the players signed by Adidas, even Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, did not get the attention of Adidas.

They naturally didn't know that these were the promises Adidas had made to Woody.

As long as it is the publicity channel arranged by Nike, no matter what the specifications are, they will keep up with the arrangement.

Now they are fulfilling their promises.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Woody's good performance in the summer league and the preseason, but if his performance is not as good as it is now, you think Adidas will take care of him!
Some benefits are indeed there, but you have to be able to get them!

Bleachers calls this "Adidas vs. Nike"...

Adidas, as a leader in the sports product industry, has a much higher influence than Nike at home and abroad, but this is the NBA. Nike has the capital to compete with them by virtue of Michael Jordan, and even beat them a little.

The two brands are constantly at war with each other, and they often poach people from each other.

It is said that when the contract between Adidas and Kobe was about to expire, they encountered the "Eagle County" incident and immediately chose to terminate the contract.Ordinarily, at this time, Kobe should be in an embarrassing period that many brands can't avoid, but Nike came into contact with this piece of "stinky tofu" for the first time, that is, they knew that Kobe had signed a contract, and they were not allowed to endorse Adidas for one year after the contract was terminated. The brands of other opponents have just given up, otherwise, I am afraid that Kobe will renew his contract now.

In addition to still being optimistic about Kobe, Adidas is Kobe's old club, which is obviously a very important factor.

Adidas is not idle, they dug Duncan from Nike!

From the looks of it now, in addition to poaching each other, the two plan to have a duel between their favorite rookies!
This made the discussion among the "St. Mary's Twins" more intense.

But in this way, it seems that AJ's publicity department is a little stunned.

They also hurriedly edited Carmelo Anthony's "opener" promotional video.

LeBron James, Woody and Carmelo Anthony formed a "three-legged confrontation" trend.

"Big Dog" Glenn Robinson said about this: "This era has really changed. Guys who haven't played a game in the NBA are actually more exposed than us old guys. No one knows they are on the court. What kind of performance can they give, but they enjoy the spotlight that only superstars have..."

The rookies of previous years will also attract attention.

But compared with this year's posture, it is really "big and small".

Adidas, Nike, and AJ, these are the three biggest sneaker companies nowadays, and now, they have enough exposure for the newcomers they signed in the summer, turning the entire league upside down.

Even Kobe's "Eagle County" incident and the internal conflicts of the "OK" group became less interesting because of the "same stage PK" of these three newcomers.

The vast majority of fans are now more concerned about the opening game of these three rookies.

They want to know what kind of answers will be given by the newcomers who are highly praised by these three "sneaker manufacturers" in this first battle.

The reporter took the words of "Big Dog" to Woody.

The Heat's opening game is at home, and the opponent is none other than Glenn Robinson's Philadelphia 76ers!
Woody asked a question: "Is this the rookie who asked for 1 million before his rookie season?"

He's looking for this guy!
Unexpectedly, this guy came to the door by himself!

When the reporters heard Woody's rhetorical question, their eyes lit up.

They took it as Woody's "trash talk."

Back then, Glenn wanted 10 million when he opened his mouth, but in the end it was only 6800 million in 680 years, which was equivalent to only [-] million per year. This price was not bad at that time, twice higher than Pippen.

But as the NBA gets better and better, the star's worth has already exceeded 1 million. Like Jason Kidd, who was in the same class as him, the contract signed this summer was as high as 1300 million in the first year, and even more As high as 1600 million, the 5-year contract has exceeded his amount.

This made Glenn Robinson, who thought he was smart and guaranteed his life, very annoyed.

You know, when he was at his peak, he averaged 22 plus 6 plus 3 per game, and he could definitely get a contract with an annual salary of about 1500 million. As a result, in those few years, the sum of his two years was not as big as the contract he should have gotten. !
The intestines are ruined.Now as long as someone mentions his contract, he will immediately turn his face!
Now Woody is rubbing salt in his wounds.

Given the opportunity for these reporters to "stir up the flames", it's no wonder they are so excited.

Sure enough, the next morning, when all members of the Philadelphia 76ers arrived in Miami, Glenn Robinson learned of Woody's reply from the reporter, and immediately went berserk, threatening to entertain the "rookie" Woody in the "opening game".

Fans like to watch this kind of thing most, and this game, which has already attracted people's attention, suddenly attracts more attention.

Woody received a task from the system after Green Robinson spoke:
"A new era has arrived, but some old guys obviously haven't realized it yet, play better than Glenn Robinson, let him keep his mouth shut!"

"The task is successful, reward 3000 achievement points!"

so little?
Only 3000 points?
Although Glenn Robinson at this time is no longer the high-spirited "No. 94 pick" in [-], nor is he the absolute core of the Bucks. Are there too few points?

You know, Adidas posted his "opening game" video, and when he was fighting with Nike and AJ, Woody also received the system's "opening game" task:
"Peerless Prodigy:
No one can ever show a more dazzling performance in front of the host!

Mission requirements:

Played no less than LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony's opener performance.

Task succeeded:

Reward 5 achievement points! "

Obviously, from the perspective of the system, it is much less difficult for Woody to perform better than Glenn Robinson than to beat those two students.

Are these two guys really that awesome?
Woody quickly had half the answer to this question:

On October 10, LeBron James, as the "Three Great Talents", took the lead in ushering in the opening game of his own career.

The Quicken Loans Arena was full of fans, with more than 1 seats, and there were no empty seats.The sidelines were packed with cameras.

The people of Cleveland looked at all this like a dream. Since this border town has been ruined, since when has it had such exposure!

this moment……

At the same time, their eyes were focused on the mature-looking high school student on the court. The number 23 Cavaliers jersey on him was particularly dazzling.

Everything tonight was brought by him!

With that exposure, they're all willing to forgive LeBron James for a possible outlier tonight.

This is his first NBA game. He is only 18 years old. Even if he didn't perform well in the first game, it is normal, right?
But in the end, LeBron James' performance was so good that it exploded:

他总共打了42分钟，一共砍下了25分9助攻6篮板4抢断。其中光是第一节，他便贡献了12分3助攻3篮板2抢断，还包括两次暴扣。

The shooting percentage of the audience is as high as 60%!

This man's performance is perfect!

The only small regret is that the team failed to win. They lost to the Sacramento Kings by 92 to 106, 14 points.

But does it matter?
Compared with the performance of LeBron James, it is really insignificant!
