30. Enemy of a lifetime
Wu Dawei's data in this game is not as bright as his last game.
4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals.
But everyone knows that if Wu Dawei had not defended several critical moments in this game, the result might have been earth-shaking.
"You performed pretty well tonight, the only thing that is a bit of a pity is that you didn't guard me! Haha."
Before returning to the locker room after the game, Michael Beasley called Wu Dawei, still looking shameless. It's really easy to change the country, but his nature is hard to change. His skin has evolved to an unprecedented thickness in the cold Minnesota.
"This is the NBA, not the street court. You have changed places, but why are your IQ still standing there?"
Wu Dawei looked at his old friend with contempt, and Michael Beasley laughed and said, "This time you are lucky. When I go to Cleveland, we will fight again!"
Even the battle between men and women, do you think we are fighting for swords in Huashan... Wu Dawei curled his lips. This guy said he wanted to compete last time. Now, seeing that he was at a disadvantage, it was next time.
If you look at the outline of this novel, you will probably be the old lady's foot binding, which is smelly and long...
Because the supporting role wants to win the protagonist? It is impossible to follow this book!
The two of them didn't talk much, after all, they rushed back to the locker room. After a game, everyone consumed too much energy. The tired people always felt anxious to lie on the big bed.
So both of them walked in a hurry, but Wu Dawei was not traveling smoothly like Beasley. As soon as he reached the entrance of the passage, he was stopped by a group of reporters carrying machines.
Wu Dawei's outstanding performance on the defensive end in this game made people more and more curious about him.
How did he do it? Again and again, the opponent's hottest attacks on the player's hottest moves at critical moments. This is even more magical than Kobe Bryant's repeated finale at the Stamps Center.
Because there are only a handful of players in the league who can only rely on defense to help the team reverse the game.
Ben Wallace is one. His defense against Shaquille O'Neal in the 2004 Finals became the key point in that Finals. Although Billups' data is better, everyone knows that Wallace also makes a big contribution.
Although it was a lazy shark, everyone knows how he won three consecutive FMVPs in the past three years.
"Hey, Wu. You played well in this game, especially on the defensive end, you repeatedly defended Michael Beasley and Kevin Love's offense. You know, they are the best offensive players of the Timberwolves tonight. How did you do it?"
"Wu, your defense tonight reminds me of Ben Wallace, the best defensive player of the league in the 4th season. Do you think you can become the next Ben Wallace in the league?"
The media were as agreed, and the questions were all around defense and being the next person, and they all seemed to think that Wu Dawei had the qualifications to become the next person Ben Wallace. Wallace's name appeared in eight of the ten questions.
Under the escort of the security guards at the arena, Wu Dawei easily broke through the defense line built by the media and then disappeared into the player channel. Although he did not answer the reporter's questions, he had an idea in his mind: I am in a beautiful way, why do you keep thinking of Ben Wallace? Don't you think I look like Tom Cruise?
Back in the locker room, Wu Dawei was praised by head coach Scott again. It can be seen that Scott was very satisfied with Wu Dawei's energy contributed tonight on the defensive end. This made Morris Williams, the best player in the game tonight, who scored 26 points, feel a little unhappy.
So, Scott, who was keen on the brink of the eye, turned his head and praised Williams' performance on the offensive end tonight. In this way, the unhappy person became Wu Dawei.
Damn it, it’s not that I blocked and stealed on the defensive end. Can you have so many opportunities for fast attacks?
The two of them are not yet able to show their secret bars. After leaving the target center, the Cavaliers did not continue to stay in Minnesota, but rushed to Los Angeles, the entertainment capital west of the United States overnight.
The last game of their away trip will end with the hardest back-to-back. Challenge the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.
At least the team name is not the Lakers, which makes the Cavaliers players more or less relieved. The Lakers won three consecutive games at the start of the game, while the Clippers lost four consecutive games. It is natural to see which one is stronger and who is weaker.
However, for Wu Dawei, the significance of this game is not just about meeting a relatively weak opponent. When he warmed up before the game, he saw Black Griffin in the opponent's camp at a glance.
The only difference between himself being the rookie last year is that Blake Griffin gathered all the praises, while he was not a name for himself.
At last year's draft, Wu Dawei sat in the front row of the audience in Madison Square. He stared at the place not far ahead, which is called the Little Green Table. That is the position every rookie wants most, because sitting there means that the draft has not yet begun and you have already received official recognition.
And Blake Griffin was undoubtedly the most shining star that night. Everyone's eyes were inseparable from him, and the topic was around him, as if he was the next basketball god.
Wu Dawei has been envious. On the contrary, Wu Dawei, who was sitting in the audience, was very envious. Because he was both a big man, Blake Griffin had already become famous before he entered the league. He, sitting in the corner where almost no one cares, would be asked by the audience behind him from time to time: "Hey, black hair, are you here to participate in the draft?"
When Blake Griffin was selected in the first round, Madison cheered and at that moment, it seemed that even this holy land called basketball Mecca by basketball fans was fascinated by it; and when he was selected by the Miami Heat in the last place in the second round, Wu Dawei even stood up and heard the back-row audience in surprise asking: "It turns out that he is also here to participate in the draft..."
So, at the beginning of the 2009-10 season, when Wu Dawei heard that Blake Griffin was injured and was even gloating for a while. Wu Dawei didn't understand why he had such an idea at that time, maybe it was because of jealousy. But now, standing at Stamps at this moment, Wu Dawei felt a little regret for his reimbursement last season.
The change of ideas is inseparable from thoughts and situations, but the greater reason is the increase in self-confidence brought by strength.
Last season, Wu Dawei fantasized from time to time that Blake Griffin was his lifelong enemy. He must defeat this big man from OHrahoma in his career and become the first rookie in the 2009 world; but now, Wu Dawei's goal has become the best defensive player, and it is just a short-term goal.
"But I still have to burst Blake Griffin's chrysanthemum first and become the number one rookie in 2009..."
PS: I wish you a happy New Year, a happy family, and a successful career... Oh my god, I said it was too long and I would be despised to make up the word count... By the way, I also wrote the Timberwolves game and found that I had written so much... This is not my original intention at all...
