157. Prepare for war
Since the operation takes two times, it takes two days to end. In order to avoid the harassment of reporters, Wu Dawei decided to live in the clinic. However, after the two days of the operation, Wu Dawei still had to face the media's interrogation.
Although he was very upset about this, Wu Dawei still had no choice but to face their questions. Although everyone knows that Wu Dawei's surgery was still very successful, every reporter would chatter and ask about the result of Wu Dawei's surgery when he saw Wu Dawei's first encounter.
Wu Dawei had to answer reporters' questions over and over again, and after the operation, Wu Dawei received an application for an exclusive interview one after another. Whether it was a big TV station or a small media, he hoped to give an exclusive interview during the period when Wu Dawei started to recuperate after the operation.
Although Wu Dawei rejected a lot, there are still many big TV stations that he will not refuse. For example, espn, tnt and even CCTV. Especially CCTV, Wu Dawei's image in China must rely on the most influential TV platform CCTV.
Therefore, he was the least able to refuse the interview requirements of CCTV. Fortunately, in nearly a month after Wu Dawei's surgery, the doctor suggested that he should not do too many activities and just rest, so Wu Dawei decided to make full use of the time when he was basically unable to move to solve all the media.
Because Wu Dawei decided that when he could move and was approved by the doctor, he would make full use of the next time to recover and start his summer training. After all, the new season of the NBA League will be restarted in less than a few months. Wu Dawei of course hopes to return to the basketball court as soon as possible. Although the recovery time is expected to be at least half a year, Wu Dawei still hopes to return to the basketball court faster.
As he said, after all, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship last season, and they must be determined to defend the title this season. And Wu Dawei also hopes to create a basketball dynasty and play a personal era that truly belongs to him.
Just like Michael Jordan, everyone hopes that he can be famous in history, especially after he has won some honors and fame after success. Wu Dawei will definitely not be exempted from the vulgarity. Of course, he also hopes that when future generations mention their names, they will say that this is the number one player in basketball...
Therefore, he will definitely not be able to pull his level down. Wu Dawei hopes that when he walks back on the basketball court, he can still maintain a very high level, because only in this way can he fulfill all his ideas!
So after the operation was over, Wu Dawei's next goal was to resume training as soon as possible, stay in shape, and then continue to create new legends in the new season. Just like he did last season and at the Olympics, after experiencing such a prosperous chapter, no one will be able to easily return to mediocrity.
Wu Dawei is even more unlikely to accept that he has changed from being the top star in the basketball world to a very mediocre player due to injury. I believe that not only Wu Dawei will not accept it, but Chinese basketball fans will not accept such a result.
In fact, when Wu Dawei led such a national team that was not outstanding and even seemed a little weak. After achieving such outstanding results at this London Olympics, Chinese fans will naturally have higher expectations for Wu Dawei.
Although Wu Dawei's performance in the last season was enough to make people feel incredible, after experiencing such outstanding performance in the Olympics, people naturally could not be satisfied. China finally produced such an outstanding forward and guard swinger. In this country where only high-quality inside players were able to produce high-quality inside players due to system reasons, there was an outside player with such skills, physical and ability. Isn't it that fans would have extremely high expectations for him?
Moreover, Wu Dawei's performance since his amazing success has almost never disappointed Chinese fans.
"Then do you think this injury will have an impact on you? How big is it?"
When accepting an exclusive interview with CCTV5, Wu Dawei did not shy away from the host's question. He said bluntly: "Injury will definitely have a significant impact on me. If I were not injured, then I would not be missing the Olympic final. This is a very big regret for me."
"When it comes to this Olympic Games, Dawei, your performance is really good. Can you assume from us that if you think you were there in the Olympic finals, what kind of scene would the game be?"
"Ha ha!"
When Wu Dawei heard this question from the reporter, he laughed. He believed that this question would make many people feel interested. Because after the game ended on August 16, Wu Dawei often fantasized in his mind that if he was not absent in this game, what would happen to the process of the game?
"I dare not say I promise to win, but I think the scene should be very different."
"Why is it a different method?" the host continued to chase and asked reluctantly. This made Wu Dawei a little embarrassed. Because it wasn't this forcing people to praise him...
"You know how I performed in the first two games with Spain and France. I think this will be different..." Wu Dawei was really embarrassed to say this.
But this is indeed his true thought, so he is so upset and from time to time he thinks about what he would do if he was there at that time...
However, Wu Dawei's answer still made the host laugh knowingly. Obviously, he had also seen Wu Dawei's performance in the knockout matches of those two Olympics. Indeed, this is why Wu Dawei was so upset, and it was not only Wu Dawei who felt resentful about it, but Chinese fans also had the same feeling.
That's why everyone feels so regretful about the men's basketball final of this Olympic Games. Although they were defeated by the Americans, every Chinese fan would not be convinced of the defeat of this game from the bottom of their hearts because their strongest player did not play.
And everyone believes that if Wu Dawei can compete in this Olympic final, then both the process and the result will be very different!
However, the Olympic Games have ended. Next, Wu Dawei’s goal is not to remember or feel resentful about this Olympic final, but to focus on the next NBA new season.
After all, the Olympic Games will only last for four years, so the NBA League competition is Wu Dawei's biggest focus. Moreover, Wu Dawei's career basically has to continue around the NBA League competition, so the NBA League competition is Wu Dawei's main business, and this is a high-paying homepage, so Wu Dawei will definitely not be able to throw it away easily.
After losing this job, Wu Dawei would not be able to get a high salary elsewhere. Moreover, Wu Dawei signed a 2+1 contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers last year, which is three years. The last year is the player option.
In other words, after playing the next season of the game, Wu Dawei has the right to choose to end his contract. Wu Dawei will definitely do this, not that he is jealous of money, and a person should get the corresponding salary if he has the ability.
Wu Dawei's performance last season was enough to match the contract with a maximum salary, and it has always been called by many people the most valuable contract in the NBA league. So there is no scruples about money.
As long as Wu Dawei maintains his current level, his next contract will definitely be maximized. A salary of tens of millions of yuan is not a fantasy. Basically, Wu Dawei's next contract should be able to get the same standard as the first contract signed with LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers after the rookie contract.
The starting salary is tens of millions and then the level is increasing year by year. So because of this, Wu Dawei has to perform well in the next season. After all, the team is not a place for charity. Every penny you get is earned by relying on your own efforts on the basketball court.
The pressure of renewing the contract and defending the title also constantly motivated Wu Dawei to continue moving forward at this time. After all, he had just set off, and although he had reached a very high starting point, he could not be satisfied with it.
Especially, it cannot disappoint those fans who have high expectations for themselves in the next new season.
"So what about the new season? Do you have any prospects?"
"I hope I can recover as soon as possible. Although I haven't been lying on the hospital bed for a few days, I can't wait to go back to the basketball court! You know we won the championship last season, and our goal this season is definitely to lift the O'Brien Cup again!"
After the host asked this question, such an exclusive interview was over. After the interview with CCTV5, Wu Dawei basically stopped accepting interviews from the media. He began to carefully recuperate his injuries. At the same time, he prepared for the next summer training.
Although Wu Dawei's speed in returning to the basketball court is not so fast due to injury, this does not mean that he will waste his training. After all, training is the most basic thing to maintain a player's level. If you don't even touch the ball for several months due to injury, then after you truly recover, you have to go to the basketball court to find a feeling for a few months, and then the whole new season can be said to be missed...
This is not what Wu Dawei wants to see, so he was the first to solve the media's affairs when the doctor told me this month that it was best not to go to the field to do things.
Then he had to concentrate on recovering from his injuries and began to prepare for returning to the basketball court. During this period, many people visited Wu Dawei. Especially his teammates in the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwight Howard, also returned to the United States with the United States shortly afterwards. He got off the plane in Las Vegas, and then flew to Los Angeles to visit Wu Dawei.
After all, the two are the core of the internal and external lines of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They also won the league championship last season. They will definitely have the same idea this season, that is, the defending champion.
Moreover, Dwight Howard also understood that it would be impossible for him to do without Wu Dawei, so at this time, as Wu Dawei's closest comrade-in-arms, he certainly had to come and care about Wu Dawei's situation.
In addition to Wu Dawei's teammates in the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant also visited Wu Dawei several times after returning to Los Angeles. Although the two did not become teammates, Kobe obviously did not give up on the idea of convincing Wu Dawei to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
In such an era where giants are gathering together, Kobe also knows that it is very difficult to see him alone or add Paul Gasol.
As the hottest basketball star today, Wu Dawei, who can choose to end the contract after the next season, will become Kobe's number one target. Moreover, the personal relationship between the two is pretty good, Kobe naturally wants to care about Wu Dawei and enhance his relationship...
As the 2012 London Olympics came to an end, the world began to slowly recover from peace. At the same time, the new round of preparations for the NBA new season is about to kick off again.
All teams must want to make some reinforcements. After all, no one wants to be just a passerby every season, or become mediocre after just one or two seasons.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers where Wu Dawei is located, their biggest task now is to retain their championship lineup. Although they were the final winners last season, the Cavaliers did not give up on the idea of strengthening themselves.
Moreover, they are now strengthening not only to continue to compete for the league championship in the coming year, but also have other meanings. Considering Wu Dawei's current hot state, the Cavaliers' management can also predict what will happen in a year... (To be continued...)
