Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 90 If it's the home game, I'm more likely to do this!
When the Miami media reported on this incident, it was linked to the fact that Nike paid a fine for Michael Jordan so that he could wear red and black Nike shoes on the field.

This wave of publicity was very successful.

Woody is more tightly bound to the "finger wag" action.

In the city of Miami, many posters of Woody wagging his finger appeared overnight.

Adidas noticed this trend and immediately sent a representative to contact Woody, wanting to launch some products as soon as possible to deepen the outside world's impression of this matter.

The best way is naturally to produce a signature shoe, but the designer team who just finished McGrady's signature shoes and wants to design the "Christmas War" signature shoes for McGrady has initially set the plan for Woody's new shoes as early as next year. Even if they can temporarily put aside the design of McGrady's "Christmas War" signature shoes and immediately invest in the design of Woody's first signature shoes, this is not something that can be completed in a week or two.

Woody also didn't want his first signature shoe of his career to be too shoddy.

The well-informed "Magician" Johnson made a suggestion: "Otherwise, first design a small sneaker ornament similar to Velcro, which is equivalent to designing a small logo, which not only shortens the time, but also improves the quality of the finished product." Guaranteed too!"

This proposal was recognized by Woody and also by the Adidas team.

On November 11, the Heat's first away game of the new season arrived.

They will travel to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks.

Last season, the Bucks sent away Ray Allen, bought out Gary Payton's contract in the summer, and then sent away "Big Dog" Robinson, officially declaring that they belonged to the "Three Musketeers of the Bucks". "The era is completely over.

Michael Reid's position, coupled with Ford, who was selected with the 8th overall pick in the first round this year, forms the Bucks' guard line today, and they have won two games so far in the new season.

It seems that the road to reconstruction is going very smoothly.

There were also a lot of Milwaukee people in attendance tonight.

At least 8% of the attendance rate.

In addition to the attendance rate brought by the two consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season, there are still a small number of people who came for Woody.

The owner of the Heat team said that he was willing to pay a fine for Woody's "finger wagging", which cost a lot of money to watch, 2 thousand a time!

They only need to spend tens of dollars to see 2 "finger shakes", can they not watch it?

As for why they are sure that they can see such a picture...

Take a look at the average number of blocks per game of the Chinese rookies in the first two games of the new season!

An average of 4 times per game!
As far as the Bucks are hanging people, it looks like they are going to be hated!
Bucks player: Are you polite?Whose home is this?Who are you fans of?
"Relax, man, you can do it!"

Eddie Jones bumped fists with Wade before going on the field.

Wade just nodded with a stiff expression, and then took a deep breath. It seemed that he was even more stressed.

Jones shook his head helplessly.

He shared a room with Wade, and when he woke up in the morning, he found this guy running back dripping with sweat, and it looked like he had just finished training.

The heat's owner's hype, coupled with Woody's continuous and stable output in the last game, made him even more stressed.

"Hey, buddy, don't be too stressed. Even if the sixth pick in the first round is not as good as the fifth pick in the first round, it's a normal thing..." When Wade was taking a shower, he called out jokingly. Just kidding.

Unexpectedly, the door of the bathroom was opened with a "bang", which scared him tight, and subconsciously moved half a step towards the bed. Before his face came, his cheeks came first, and the big cheeks stuck out of the door of the bathroom, towards Jones. He said with a serious face:

"That's not an ordinary No. [-] pick in the first round, it's the No. [-] pick in the first round specially traded by Pat Riley!"

In other words:
Pat Riley thinks so much of me!
Can I be stress-free?
Jones swallowed his throat and didn't hold back a word for a long time.

There is such a rumor circulating in the Miami arena:

Wade is slightly retarded!

Jones didn't believe it at first, but now, he can only say one thing: the rumors in the world are never groundless.There is indeed a reason for such rumors.

Pat Riley is too ruthless!

Mentally disabled are not spared!

Aware of this, he also cared a little more about Wade.

Going too far, Wade's meniscus is still a big hidden danger. He is really afraid that Wade will practice too hard and hurt himself.

It's just that he found that his consolation seemed to always have the opposite effect. Let's talk about this game. I don't know if it was what he said to Wade before the game. This guy has a particularly strong desire to attack with the ball.

this kid!
It's fine if you don't have a brain, you're born rebellious!
Bucks head coach Terry Porter paid attention to this situation in a timely manner and shrunk the entire interior to a very small size.

Wade's first two offenses ended with layups.

Fortunately, the insiders of the Bucks are Keith Van Horn and Joe Smith.

Van Horn was the "Bird Second Generation" who was praised as "magic" by the "Cardinal". Unfortunately, Popovich was not fooled. He did not choose the second "Bird", but chose the second "Bird". a duncan.

Regardless of the "Bird II" label imposed on Van Horn by the "Cardinal", he did not waste the second overall pick in the first round of 97, and he averaged 2 points and 19.9 rebounds per game as soon as he entered the league. , is one of the few "high forts" in this era, but also because of the attributes of the shooter, the ability to grab rebounds is not very strong.

In 95, the No. [-] pick Joe Smith had just made his debut, and he was considered the No. [-] pick. Unfortunately, he had no brains and met a manager with cerebral palsy, which led to him falling into the "Yin-Yang Contract Case". His career took a turning point. No team is willing to use him as the core. His personal confidence and skills have been affected by the constant transfers. He is now a second-rate inside player in the league. His style and attributes tend to be "one size fits all". Not good at it."

Such two people guard the inside line of the Bucks, let's put it this way...

It's here to give Woody a rebound!

Wade missed the frame twice in a row, Woody grabbed a rebound, made a dunk, and an indirect assist, helping Jones complete a 3-pointer.

As soon as the personal data started, it came to 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Wade was even more anxious.

But the score was tight, the Bucks 4-5, only 1 point behind.

The Bucks' team style can be seen from their first two games, mainly relying on the offensive end.

If you can fight harder than the opponent, you will win, if you can't fight, you will lose.

The first two games relied on TJ-Ford's speed, they tore apart the opponent's direction very well, Michael Reed and Van Horn set up "turrets" on the outside, and Mason on the wing cut into the inside Killing kills.

In the first and second games of the new season, they averaged 100 points per game!
The scoring firepower can be ranked among the top 29 of the 4 teams in the league.

Of course, their average conceded points per game is terrible enough, averaging 98.5 points per game. The difference between the two wins is actually 1 goal. The opponent has one more goal, or the Bucks scored one less goal. The record will be completely rewritten.

Otherwise, why part of the attendance tonight is due to Woody!
Their hard power has not reached the standard of a real strong team.

Stan Van Gundy was not in a hurry to change his lineup, he just yelled at Wade on the sidelines to make him sober and not fall into too many singles and reckless actions.

The score continued to be anxious, and the one-point difference between the two teams lasted for most of the quarter.

The turning point happened at 7 minutes and 34 seconds of the first quarter. Michael Reid made a beautiful off-the-ball feint from the flank, shaking Jones away completely, and raised his hand to shoot. As a result, Woody came out from the side and slapped his The shot was blocked, causing a low cry at the scene.

They didn't automatically want to cheer for Woody.

They only realized that they had just called out when they heard the loud low calls.

This block really fully demonstrated Woody's physical explosiveness, and the director of the Bucks' home court couldn't help replaying the block shot.

The eyes of some Bucks fans lit up suddenly.

This is the Milwaukee man who came specifically for Woody.

After waiting for a long time, is that moment finally coming?

They looked at Woody in unison, and the big screen at the scene also gave a close-up shot of Woody, but it was a pity, Woody just patted his hand feeling sorry, turned his head and went to stand in a defensive position, and did not face Watching Michael Reid wag his fingers.

These Bucks fans watched Woody without giving up, until the referee signaled for a throw-in, and finally gave up completely, and their eyes dimmed.

They suddenly felt that the tickets were bought for nothing!
What's the point of them being here if Woody doesn't wag his finger?

The Bucks fans who came here specially for Woody are very "blue and thin", but the Heat's momentum was ignited by Woody's supplementary defense cap. Stan Van Gundy, under the reminder of Spoelstra, pulled up in time Gerald Wallace.

The Heat played their best defensive counterattack.

Before the start of the first quarter, the Heat played an 8-1 "scoring wave". At the end of the first quarter, the Heat's lead also came to 8 points.

Woody scored 8 points in a single quarter, and Wallace, who played halfway through the first quarter, scored 5 points. The air cuts of the two of them on the wing caused a lot of trouble for the Bucks' front line.

But this cannot be solved by simply compressing the inner line space.

Jones' outside shooting feels good tonight, and he hit 2 three-pointers in the first quarter alone.

The Bucks lost sight of one another, and there was no way to restrict Wade to a smaller defensive formation.

Wade, who was somewhat aggrieved in the first half of the first quarter, gradually found his feeling in the second half of the first quarter. As soon as the second quarter came up, he was completely overwhelmed. Si crushed all the way.

No, Ford is still going to be worse!

With his height and his thin frame, he is destined to be a breakthrough on the defensive end.

This brings us to Allen Iverson again.

With the same size, Allen Iverson does not have such a big problem on the confrontation end. His more problem lies in his bad defensive habits. He likes "gambling" steals too much.

Risks and opportunities coexist. .

And Ford didn't even have the chance to "gamble".

Wade can easily break down his defense with his explosive power and strength.

Stan Van Gundy continued to activate Wallace in the second quarter, and the Heat's defense began to focus on mutual defense.

This is mainly because the Bucks do not have a strong ball-handler, and through various supplementary zone defenses, the opponent is forced to pass the ball faster or shoot faster.

With Ford being restricted, the Bucks, without a stable breakthrough point, gradually became chaotic on the offensive end.

In the first 6 minutes of the second quarter alone, they made 4 turnovers due to pass coordination.

Terry Porter called 2 timeouts in 2 minutes, but still failed to stop the chaotic decline of the Bucks.

At this time, he had too few cards in his hand, and the problem of the team's single tactics was exposed. The Bucks management was too impatient and sent away three core players in one go. As a result, the team except Michael Reid In addition, there are no players with long-term main experience.

Including Reid, he actually took the second position in the starting lineup after Ray Allen left.

It takes time to get used to even starting the game, let alone taking on the responsibility of being the leader of the team!

There were no more ups and downs in this game. The Heat relied on defensive counterattacks to successfully defeat the Bucks and won their second victory of the season.

Woody scored another 20 points in this game.

15投9中，罚球5罚3中，砍下了21分，另外拿到了职业生涯新高的14个篮板。

Facing Van Horn and the "No. 95 Scholar in 5" who had no mentality, Woody followed the "wolf into the sheepfold", all kinds of ups and downs, and easily grabbed [-] offensive rebounds.

It's just that the number of blocks is a bit small, only 2 blocks.

After blocking Michael Reid, Woody gave Mason, the "Slam Dunk King" in 01, a big cap.

However, after this block, Woody still did not shake his finger, which once again disappointed the Bucks fans at the scene.

In addition, Woody has as many as 4 assists.

As long as the Heat's defensive counterattack frequency is high, it will be easier for him to get assists than usual.

After Stan Van Gundy watched the game, he was sure that the Heat's main style of play in the new season was this set of "anti-reverse" tactics!
On the defensive end, seeing Woody and Wallace's various assists and supplementary defenses, he felt that the "regional pseudo-joint defense" is more suitable for the Heat in the new season than a single defense...

I don't know if it's to show that his idea is correct.

In the next away game of the Heat, they still won the final victory with "defensive counterattack". In the first 4 games of the new season, they scored 3 wins and 1 loss.

Woody was affected by consecutive away games and the NBA schedule in this game. He had never experienced such a situation in the high school league. He made 11 of 5 shots and his shooting percentage was only 45%.

Fortunately, he is still the same as before, stabilizing his defensive basics, not to mention 11 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots.

The reporters asked a question after the game: "Mitch has promised to pay the fine for your finger wagging, why haven't you done it since the opening game?"

Woody said: "This is still a technical foul. This is a situation that will benefit the opponent, and the last two games are not in Miami. If it is home, I will be more likely to do this!"

　First more.
