51. Diligence
Danny Green didn't expect Wu Dawei to turn around and ask himself. He was still thinking about whether to tell Wu Dawei, but he was shocked by the sudden question.
"ah?!"
Green was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted. Fortunately, the Cavaliers players in the locker room were either chatting or chatting, and no one noticed this.
"Uh..." Green of course had something to say, but he hadn't thought about whether to open this question or not. Since Wu Dawei asked, Green had no need to worry about it.
"I'm trying to ask, Wu, I heard from Mr. Tibbets that you go to the training hall to train at 4 o'clock every morning?!"
"Yes!" Wu Dawei nodded. This is no secret. Maybe there are basketball fans around the world who pay attention to them, and they all know that they have been working so hard...
"Well... Then why do you get in? I mean no one will open the door at 4 o'clock in the morning."
Green was still a little nervous, not knowing whether he should get straight to the topic, so he said around.
"Brother, I have the key!" Wu Dawei was a little funny because he didn't know what Green wanted to say, so he looked like a big girl...
"What do you want to say?" Wu Dawei asked.
"Well...I mean, can we train together?!"
Green said nervously, and then stared at Wu Dawei with expectant eyes, trying to see if there was any change in his expression. Before Wu Dawei could answer, Green hurriedly said: "Of course, if it is inconvenient, forget it..."
"sure!"
Wu Dawei did not expect that Green would have such an idea. He was desperate for it. Training alone is completely different from training two people. One person will feel bored and bored, although Wu Dawei has adapted a little. But if someone trains together, Wu Dawei will of course not mind. Instead, he will welcome him with both hands!
Moreover, the expectation in Danny Green's eyes at this time also made Wu Dawei very helpful. What made Wu Dawei even more enjoyed was Green's expression of joy after hearing his agreement: "Really? That's great!"
Wu Dawei smiled and spread his hands at Green. Green's performance made Wu Dawei very helpful. It was like a junior respect and admiration for his predecessors. This feeling was really wonderful.
However, Wu Dawei was also a little confused. After all, it is not that easy to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning. Everyone has more or less nightlife. This is especially true for rich professional players.
Wu Dawei didn't know if Green could hold on. Although he learned from Wright Tibbets that this rookie who was in the same class as him was a hard-working player, he only heard about it.
"But are you sure you can get up?" Wu Dawei asked, then thought for a while and explained: "Man, I have no other intentions. I just go to train at 4 o'clock every day. It's not easy to persevere."
Before he could think about it, Green nodded confidently. He could not answer: "Of course! Thank you, Wu!"
"There's nothing to thank for. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you can really come, at least I won't be so bored in the early morning! You know, the night road at 4 o'clock is terrible!"
"Ha ha!"
The two of them laughed together, but at this time, no one in the locker room would notice this, because the locker room was filled with laughter and joy.
When the two finished speaking, head coach Byron Scott also walked into the locker room from outside the door. The head coach was extremely satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. This is the opening game of the new season, and no one would want to win this game more than Scott.
And he hopes that this will be a hearty big victory. Judging from the current situation, there is really this hope to win the game with a greater advantage.
At the halftime break, in the locker room, Byron Scott's request for the Cleveland Cavaliers players in the second half was to end the game as soon as possible. He urgently hoped that this would be a hearty victory, and naturally, he did not want the game to be dragged too long.
"We played a very good situation in the first half! This is the opening game of the new season. We are in good shape, but the game is not over yet! We still have to continue this state in the second half! The Dallas will not have any chance tonight! We will end this game completely in the second half!"
While speaking inspirational words to the Cavaliers, Scott looked at Danny Green, who was sitting in the corner of the locker room and chatting with Danny Green without saying a word.
To be honest, Wu Dawei's performance in the first half of today's game really surprised Byron Scott. Although he was the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and also promoted Wu Dawei last season, Scott did not have much contact with Wu Dawei this summer.
After the draft, Wu Dawei basically never stayed in Cleveland. He first returned to China to participate in the warm-up match and the Asian Championships, and then stayed in Los Angeles for training. He basically returned to Cleveland after the training camp kicked off in mid-December.
Therefore, Byron Scott was not very clear about Wu Dawei's training plan and direction this summer. He just probably knew that Wu Dawei's agent Bonnie Laurelin found a well-known American trainer for Wu Dawei to train him. He also knew that Wu Dawei had the experience of training with Dwight Howard in Los Angeles.
However, Byron Scott was indeed extremely surprised by Wu Dawei's offensive performance in the first half. He thought that Wu Dawei would definitely become stronger and stronger, but he did not expect that Wu Dawei's change would be so fast!
In just one summer, Wu Dawei became so outstanding. Although Byron Scott was prepared for Wu Dawei's offensive development in the training camp before the start of the season, he did not expect that when the season officially kicked off, Wu Dawei scored 25 points in the first game in the first game!
But at this moment, the relationship between Wu Dawei and Danny Green was also surprised by Scott. Judging from their chats and chats in the locker room, the relationship between these two players who should have been completely out of touch seems to be very good.
This situation surprised Scott, but also made Scott very happy. Because Danny Green was the player Scott discovered during the offseason this summer, his diligence was the only reason that impressed Scott.
When Scott saw Danny Green training hard on the court, he remembered Wu Dawei last summer. However, compared to Wu Dawei, Green, in addition to being willing to train hard like Wu Dawei, he lacked Wu Dawei's confidence.
Scott had a particularly deep memory of Wu Dawei when he first came to the Cavaliers last summer. His confidence made Scott's eyes shine.
In Scott's view, Danny Green is less confident than Wu Dawei. Of course, he also has some talent. Talent is innate, just like the reason why Wu Dawei can complete his transformation in just one season is also inseparable from talent.
Of course, Scott would not force Green to have such talent as Wu Dawei, but confidence can be learned after all. In Scott's opinion, if Green can learn this confidence from Wu Dawei, it will definitely be of great help to his growth.
So Scott was also happy about Danny Green and Wu Dawei's relationship.
Only after discovering a treasure like Wu Dawei last summer, Scott discovered that this kind of feeling of accomplishment would be a great success by cultivating an unknown player into a superstar!
At least from Wu Dawei last season, Scott felt this feeling that made him feel a little reluctant.
The Cavaliers' locker room was filled with laughter because the team took a big lead in the first half. The atmosphere of the visiting locker room where the Mavericks are located is naturally far less than that of the former.
The fifteen-minute break was not too long. At least the fans in Cleveland had not seen enough of the cheerleaders' performances. The players on both sides returned to the stadium from the player channel and began to warm up for the second half.
However, Cleveland fans are still enthusiastic about this, because the Cavaliers took a big lead in the first half, so the fans naturally couldn't wait to start the second half so that they could continue to witness the Cavaliers' abuse of the Mavericks...
After a brief warm-up, the two convenient teams returned to their respective players' seats. The Cavaliers did not change their starting lineup in the first half in the second half, while the Dallas Mavericks replaced Jason Terry on the court and took Vince Carter to the bench.
I think that Mavericks' head coach Carlisle wanted to quickly recover his disadvantage in the first half. But obviously, the Cavaliers would definitely not give them such a chance.
The Dallas Mavericks had the right to make their first attack in the second half, but when Jason Kidd passed halfway through the ball, the Cavaliers were not ready to give the Dallas any chance!
They want to solve this battle in the fastest way, solve the opponent in front of them who had defeated them in June this year, and tell them that the Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer the same!
Wu Dawei performed extremely stunningly in the first half, and at this moment, it seemed to have infected the entire team!
Chapter completed!
