Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 93 I just won my first win of the season, and he's already on the shortlist for "Player of the Week"?

26分15篮板5助攻5盖帽2抢断！

This is a "25 plus 15 plus 5 plus 5" data.

In the history of the NBA, the last person to hit such a statistic was "Big Dream" Olajuwon.

他在跟掘金队的比赛中曾经打出过38分17篮板6助攻7抢断12盖帽。比伍迪这份数据还要恐怖。

But it is only said that a rookie who has played such a statistic, if age is added, then in the history of the NBA, this is the first time!
Created by Woody!
"Let's congratulate Woody, he had a fantastic night!"

"This is his night!"

"Cheers!"

At the moment when the game ended, the live DJ announced Woody's rookie record. The Miami people who were present tonight were already climaxed because of Woody's performance.

It's just that they didn't expect that Woody wouldn't let them go after the game was over!

Give them another orgasm!
What else can I say! ?
It can only be said that it is good to be young!
All over the body, full of energy!

Woody accepted the sideline interview again. Since the new season, he has covered all three sideline interviews at home.

Facing the microphone, Woody thanked his teammates very modestly. If it weren't for them, he would definitely not be able to hit such statistics.

This is really not a polite word!

Tonight, he was more excited than usual, probably other Heat players also saw his excitement, and the rest of the game gave him a lot of opportunities to show himself.

At least one-third of his 26 points came from deliberate passes from his teammates.

Otherwise, he might have scored around 20 points in this game.

This is also the score that Woody can get under normal circumstances when the Heat play their own rhythm. The first two games with 20 plus points are proof.

The teammates were really "deliberate" tonight!
As for other statistics, there are also factors of hilarity in it, such as his 5 assists...

However, there are many coincidences in the making of history, such as Chamberlain's 100 points. Can you say that Chamberlain was destined to get 100 points that night?

But, getting it is awesome!

Tonight's Woody can be regarded as playing his first "battle to fame" after entering the NBA...

"Congratulations, buddy. Tomorrow, the entire United States will be reporting on your game. You are completely popular!"

These words can be regarded as accurately hitting Woody's XP, and his "star disease" has also been greatly satisfied because of the reporter's words.

No, not right!

This can only be regarded as an "appetizer", and the huge amount of reports tomorrow will be the highlight!
Woody is looking forward to tomorrow's media reports.

Although he has never lacked exposure since his debut, in high school, he was more or less suspected of ignoring the popularity of his "good brother" LeBron James. Before the draft, "Magic" Johnson was playing a role. After getting off Adidas, not to mention, it all depends on the "financial father" who keeps buying notices.

Of course, this is the treatment of "the proud son of heaven", and Woody doesn't think there is anything wrong with it!
But tomorrow's huge traffic is slightly different. Woody relied on his performance on the court to play it!
I, Woody, have come to this day, all relying on my own hard work!
Ok……

That's probably how it feels.

Entering the hallway, Woody was surrounded by a group of reporters again.

A reporter asked about the conflict between Woody and Stoudemire, Woody said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell him what he has done, and one day someone else will do the same thing to him!"

A reporter also mentioned that Woody "waggled his finger" but the referee didn't blow the whistle. Woody rolled his eyes at the reporter.

If you don't blow it, you don't blow it!

I also made a special mention!
Really down!
Woody said unhappily: "Are you asking me to teach the referee to do things? The boss will not pay for this money for me!"

The league stipulates that players cannot discuss the referee's penalty in front of the media camera at will.

Offenders will be fined!
This just gave Woody a chance to change the subject.

The reporters at the scene chuckled and silently praised Woody's wit.

Compared with the relaxed and active atmosphere here, the atmosphere of the Suns is a bit low.

Especially Xiaosi, his whole face smelled as if the stinky mandarin fish had been dead for three days.

Woody's performance was so explosive, and he played the "only" data of an NBA rookie, which already made him lose face. What's worse, after four games in the new season, he averaged 20 plus 10 per game. The game only scored 17 points and 7 rebounds.

The heat team seemed to see that Woody was not dealing with him, and they really lined up to make trouble for him.

He scored 8 points in the first quarter, and only scored 9 points in the remaining three quarters. Regardless of the score, he was 3 points behind his usual score, but he averaged 4% shooting in the previous 47.5 games. This game can reach 33.3%!

That's a full 14.2% lower than usual!

That's all, what's even more painful is that 5 of Woody's 3 blocked shots were given to him...

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the league would fine him for missing the post-game interview, he wouldn't have appeared in front of the media tonight.

"Amare, do you still think that Woody's popularity is exaggerated? Do you think he will become an enhanced version of you?"

Stoudemire: ...

Same problem as before!

In fact, Stoudemire knew that with his performance today, the post-match interview must have been very difficult, so he sat here with his teeth clenched.But when the reporter's question came out, he got up immediately, walked out of the reporter's encirclement, and climbed straight into the Suns' bus. Once the door was closed, he never came out again.

It's a fine, it doesn't matter if you don't save it!

This question is really impossible to answer!

The interview here is almost over. Thousands of miles away, I rushed to Indiana to challenge the Cavaliers of the Pacers and finished their fifth game of the new season.

Before the game, everyone was not optimistic about the Cavaliers. They all believed that the No. [-] Pacers in the East could easily beat the Cavaliers.

But the result was a bit beyond expectations.

The Pacers did win...

91 to 90.
But they won by 1 point!
The Cavaliers, who lost all four games in the first four games of the new season, fought a whole game against the undefeated Pacers, and finally lost the game by 4 point.

This kind of failure is actually no longer a failure.
What is there to say?

Glory to defeat!

Therefore, LeBron James after the game was not very frustrated, but instead had an expression of "Although I lost, I am not convinced".

His performance in this game is also very good, 18 of 8 shots, 44.4% shooting, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 50% shooting, 7 of 6 free throws, 85.7% shooting, plus 5 Rebounds and 3 assists.

If you don't talk about 7 turnovers and don't look at your teammates:
以62.5%命中率拿下20加9数据的布泽尔；拿到9分10篮板12助攻的里基-戴维斯……

Then his data is quite C!
He has been waiting for a while when the media interviewed him and asked him how he adjusted his state...

First, I'm trying to tell myself I'm still a high school kid, I'm going to slow down, and second, I'm getting used to this league a little bit, you know...

"LeBron, it's a pity that you lost this game by 1 point and failed to get your first win of the new season. I have news from Miami. Your high school old team Dee scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers tonight. This is the first time a player has achieved such data in his rookie season. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"... much, how much? His data?"

LeBron James' mind went blank, and there was a long silence before he responded.

His first reaction was to suspect that he had heard wrong.

不是26分15篮板5助攻5盖帽2抢断3失误，而是……

16 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks...

No, this is also quite scary!

It's 6 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks...

No, it's still great!

记者在他不断的否定中，再度重复了伍迪的数据：“26分15篮板5助攻5盖帽2抢断！”

Also shattered the last glimmer of fantasy for LeBron James...

He heard it right, Woody really hit such a terrifying stat!

no……

What kind of monster is he?
LeBron James knows very well how difficult it is to achieve such a statistic!
The most important thing is that he also played for the Suns!
How can it be so easy to deal with?
Not to mention taking such a piece of data!

He was going to look back at the video of the game, but he was afraid that his little heart would not be able to bear watching Woody "overwhelming" there...

It wasn't until the reporter urged him twice that he came back to his senses.

"what?"

"Man, what do you want to say when you see your old teammates play like this?"

LeBron James looked at the cameraman next to the reporter who was recording the whole process with the camera, and quickly squeezed out a smile, but if the camera had a mirror to let him see himself, he would find that he laughed more than cried Even uglier.

"You know, this is..." He really wanted to say some official-sounding words, but he suddenly remembered that Brother Goodman had reminded him not to praise the other two main competitors.

As long as you say a few good things about them, it will be published in the newspaper the next day, that is, "LeBron was defeated by XX".

So in the middle of the conversation, he choked again, paused and LeBron said again: "He had a very good night, congratulations on his performance, I have always been very clear about this..."

The reporter saw that LeBron James was not fooled, so he asked another question: "Does this affect you? I mean, when you hear this news, do you feel a sense of urgency?"

"Heh~" LeBron subconsciously laughed.He is now very good at covering up his embarrassment with a laugh, "We are a completely different situation, I am very happy to hear the news that he played a good performance, but we are going through a different process, and I am slowly adapting to it." This league, as you can see from my performance, I will get better and better!"

The reporter saw that "Fish" didn't bite the hook for three-pointers several times, and was anxious at the time, and threw out the "straight hook" directly: "Then how do you think that you made 7 turnovers tonight and missed the last two key shots?" Goals lead to a one-point loss for the team..."

LeBron James:"……"

《26加15加5加5，你敢相信这家伙才18岁？》

《“超级新星”的超级表现，热火队主场13分大胜太阳队，伍迪狂砍26分15篮板5助攻5盖帽，成历史No.1！》

""Pick up the leak" picked up a big one!The Heat may become the biggest winner in the 03 draft year? "

……

Early the next morning, reports about Woody's game filled the sports pages of major media.

More than 8% of the media reported this game as the headline of their sports pages.

The remaining 2% ​​were directly placed on the headlines of the entire newspaper.

Especially in the Miami media, almost every media has a large poster of Woody as the cover of the report.

This match made them feel the gears of fate starting to turn!
After "Iron Man" Mourning, the city ushered in another owner!
Moreover, it seems that he is more talented and phenomenal than Mourning back then!
TNT morning news: "Woody played the most impressive game of his career so far. He made history. Charles Barkley may become the biggest winner!"

After this game, I am afraid that no media thinks it is a shame for Barkley to go to the sidelines and wear Woody's jersey to cheer him on.

"Bleachers" updated the latest "Best Rookie Ranking List", and Woody's name appeared at the top of the list for the first time.

This game directly made Woody lead the entire "Best Rookie List"!
Originally, Carmelo Anthony led by a slight advantage, but now he has also been pushed to second place.

LeBron James was squeezed to the third place. The Cavaliers have not won a game so far. It is really embarrassing for him to compare with the other two of the "Three Great Talents".

This is not just the ranking of "Bleacher Show", many media have such a view.

Except ESPN...

But it's normal, after all, they gave LeBron James the "pro-son" treatment.

Who would think that their son is not good enough!
and so……

No matter what others say, they still stubbornly rank LeBron James first.

"Miami Media" looked at ESPN's appearance of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", and was also annoyed. They immediately posted a detailed comparison of LeBron James' performance in the game between the Cavaliers and the Suns, and Woody. game difference.

Through the five major items, a total of 40 small points, LeBron James was in a second.

The Cleveland media wanted to fight back, but in the face of the "form attack" from the Miami media, they couldn't say anything at all.

Facts speak louder than words.

The Goodman brothers threw the report in front of LeBron James and said to him: "Now, do you know what is the most important thing in this league?"

LeBron James nodded vigorously, watching Woody lead the rookie class of 03 with his performance at the level of "No. [-] rookie in ancient times" in the battle against the Suns, how can he not understand what is the most important thing in this league...

data!

data!

What kind of data!
"We will put pressure on the management in the near future, and when the ball is concentrated in your hands, I hope you can also play amazing data!"

LeBron James nods vigorously.

Woody's sudden performance really made him feel pressured.

There is not much time left for him...

In addition to the huge discussion caused by the data, the conflict between Woody and Stoudemire on the court has also aroused a lot of voices, especially the domestic fans, who have doubled their favor towards Woody.

Woody's game, all the actions of Marbury and Stoudemire on the court, are the pictures they have been looking forward to for a long time.

It's so cool!
Yao Ming was also asked about his views on this matter by the reporter. He said with an embarrassing smile: "I also watched the game yesterday. I only prepared 3 dishes before watching it. But after the game is over, there are too many dishes on my table." Five or six dishes!"

Ok……

He also looked hi!
In addition, there is another thing that has also caused a lot of discussion. Woody made another "finger wag" in last night's game, but the referee did not whistle for this.

This made many people a little surprised, and they speculated whether Woody would become another player allowed to do "finger shaking" on the court after Mutombo.

It's just that the official did not give a detailed explanation, and the referee association was unanimously silent, and did not express any opinions on this matter.

No response is actually the best response...

Just like in the 90s, in order to limit Michael Jordan, the league introduced the "anti-isolation law."

This law stipulates the entire league, but when it is actually implemented, the league turns a blind eye to other players. Only Michael Jordan, they strictly enforce this rule.

This rule was not revoked until Michael Jordan retired for the first time and came back again.

During the period, except for the special announcement when the league first promulgated the rules, there was no explanation on the penalty standards or the abolition of this rule during the period.

Even if the Bulls express their dissatisfaction several times, it will not help!
It now appears that officials are clearly planning to do it again.

With a default attitude, Woody is allowed to "wave his finger" on the court...

"Magic" Johnson once again used his great powers. From his network, he specifically inquired about this matter, and the answer he got made Woody happy:

"The league assumes you're home in Miami, you can celebrate with a finger wag, but... man, no human!"

Although there are many restrictions, this is enough!

Don't forget, Woody himself said before that this is a celebration exclusive to the Heat's home court, and only the American Airlines Arena can see the scenery.

The heat is too high, and it will be difficult to dissipate for a while, but the Heat's regular season continues.

In the next game, they played away again, challenging the Boston Celtics.

After Bird's retirement, coupled with David Stern's targeting, the ancient "big family" never regained its former glory. After failing to get Tim Duncan in 97, "Cardinal" Orr Bach flicked his sleeves and left the table angrily, I stopped playing!
The "spiritual pillar" of this team chose to retire, and this team also entered the next decade.

Right now, the core of the team is Paul Pierce.

Paul Pierce was the 98th pick in the first round of 10.

Just debuted, he was stabbed 11 times, but he still tenaciously contributed 16.5 points per game in his rookie season!
Thus began his "Boston era".

In five years, he has gradually grown into a top scorer in the league with an average of 5 points per game. Under his leadership and with the help of Antoine Walker, the Celtics once reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Of course, this is nothing to brag about. The main focus of the playoffs in these years has been in the West. From 99 to now, the championship every year has been the Western team that survived to the end.

Last year, the Nets swept the Eastern Conference for two consecutive rounds. As a result, they entered the finals and let the Spurs sweep 4-0.

The simple four words in the east are:

The chickens are pecking at each other, anyone can get in!
It couldn't be more normal to enter the Eastern Conference Finals once every 5 years.

You must know that in the past five years, a total of 7 different teams have entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

How do you say that?

"Strong" is stereotyped, and "weak" is strange!
This summer, the Celtics management dismantled the "Gemini" and sent away Antoine Walker, but did not introduce any strong support, so the record is not very good. The current 5 games are 2 wins and 3 losses , barely ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference.

In addition, this team does not have any very strong players inside.

So Stan Van Gundy issued a "death order": this game must be won!

This is also a psychological hint:
Let the Heat, a rookie-dominated team, realize that their overall strength can actually be ranked very high in the Eastern Conference.

Their current ranking is indeed very good, with 4 wins and 1 loss, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Pacers and Pistons.

They also won this game very smoothly.

It's just that Woody's performance in this game was not very good. He made 11 of 4 shots and his shooting percentage was only 36%!

Fortunately, he seized all 3 free throw opportunities and barely scored in double figures.

In addition, there are 12 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal...

The defensive "basic plate" is still stable.

In terms of assists, while Woody sent out 4 assists, he made 4 turnovers.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is an embarrassing 1:1!

"This is the price of fame!" Odom joked after the game.

Woody also showed a helpless smile.

In this game, the Boston Celtics made it clear that the attitude of "the game can be lost, Woody must die" was very targeted at him on the defensive end, and they did not give him a chance to easily get into the basket.

And obviously studied his passing habits, as well as the passing path.

His passing was completely blocked in this game.

This is why his assists are equal to his turnovers.

However, this is not without cost... The result of being too focused on restricting Woody is that the Boston Celtics lost this game by almost 20 points!
The Heat won by 101 points 83 to 18!
Since the new season, this is the most enjoyable game to win.

It’s no wonder that when Stan Van Gundy talked about Woody’s heavy targeting in this game after the game, he also jokingly said: “If the Heat can win every game so smoothly, then in my opinion, Woody will win every game. Being so restricted is not a big deal!"

It's hard for Woody alone, revitalize everyone in the Heat team!
What a loving dedication!
Woody had nothing else to say except secretly giving Stan Van Gundy a middle finger to show his attitude.

Oh, by the way, or else it is more and more eager for "Duang" his jaw!
Early the next morning, LeBron James and the Cavaliers made some headlines.

nothing else...

It was after the 6th game of the new season that the Cavaliers, who had lost 5 games in a row, finally won their first win of the new season!

In the game against the Wizards at home, they beat the Wizards by 111 points 98 to 13.

虽说在这场比赛达柳斯-迈尔斯拿到了26分6篮板7助攻；里基-戴维斯拿到了26分8篮板6助攻；

But the media headed by ESPN focused on LeBron James with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, thinking that he led the Cavaliers to win this hard-won and precious first win of the season!
LeBron James said confidently in an exclusive interview with ESPN: "This is the beginning. I believe we are on the right track. Next, we will get better and better! I will also play first in the first round of the 03 session. I know why I'm here, and I know I've got enough talent, so let's see what happens next!"

But just two hours after his confident expression, the league officially announced the "Player of the Week Award" for the first week of the new season.

Woody's name is on the shortlist for the Eastern Conference's "Player of the Week Award".

LeBron James suddenly collapsed...

No, I just won my first win of the season, and he's already on the shortlist for "Player of the Week"?

　The second is sent.
