Chapter 101: Maddie's Approval

Medido glanced at Yang Di a few times, this rookie is really ...... Energetic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, he noticed Yang Di from the beginning, and after Yang Di began to appear, some boos came out of the American Airlines arena at the scene, and in the history of the NBA, the rookie who was booed by the home fans may not be able to find a second one, and it is difficult not to pay attention.

But after Yang Di came on the court, the style of the entire Heat team suddenly changed and became more passionate.

Yang Di can grab rebounds in the front court, block and dismantle for his teammates, can resist people, can make up defense, all the dirty work on the court is done, and there can still be violent deductions on the offensive end, and so far, he has been deducted three times, one to make up for the dunk, one to catch the dunk, and one to hold the ball and dunk the person.

He reminded Maddie of the recently retired "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, and both of them dunked so powerfully, passionately, like a black lightning bolt.

Oh no, Yang Di's complexion is not dark enough, at most it can be regarded as yellow lightning.

Yang Di, who was off the field, was treated like a hero, and Odom and others all touched him, high-fived and shoulder-to-shoulder, and celebrated each other.

Stan Van Gundy saw that Yang Di was playing well, so he simply let him play a little longer, and this moment was a few minutes.

When Grant came on the court, there were just over four minutes left on the court, and most of the second quarter had passed, and his body was cold.

The Magic as a whole were not good, and Maddie was not as efficient as in the first quarter, and before halftime, the Heat led the Magic by eight points at 49-41.

In the second half, Yang Di still sat on the cold bench and chatted with his teammates.

He covered his head with a white towel, recuperating his energy, and from time to time let out a cheer, applauding and shouting for Wade, Odom and the others.

This is a kind of NBA culture, courtesy, others cheer for you, you should also cheer for others.

Halfway through the third quarter, Maddie suddenly woke up, like a sleepy lion with his eyes open, and his state was raised to an extremely hot point, and he scored 7 points in a row to help the Heat narrow the difference.

Stan Van Gundy panicked and hurriedly called a timeout.

"That's what a superstar is capable of, it's a lot of trouble." Malik Allen and Jandy said.

Yang Di thought so: "Ordinary players break out, Maddie is the scoring champion and the player of the NBA Best Team, so it's troublesome." ”

"The last time our Dwyanne broke out, the last time we reversed the Lakers, I don't remember."

"Damn, don't you carry it like this, right?" Yang Di complained: "Magic is the penultimate in the east!" ”

The two of them thought with some worry in their hearts, but they were really afraid of anything.

Maddie came back from a timeout in better shape and was able to send some good balls to either Juwan Howard or Drew Gooden, and the Magic's offense immediately went up a notch, and the Magic tied the score at 67 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

Wade and Odom haven't shot from the outside for a long time, and the biggest problem for the Heat right now is that the offense is particularly bad.

Stan Van Gundy just knows this, fortunately he replaced Malik Allen, he is not as good as Jandy defensively and far less than Haslem, but he is quite alive on the offensive end and belongs to the jack-of-all-trades player.

Juwan Howard held his breath after being dunked by Yang Di, and saw the unknown Malik Allen defend him, and he exploded like a 5-year-old young with energy, a variety of mid-range accurate jump shots, and his personal score quickly rose to 20, and the Magic was able to lead 75-69 to end the third quarter.

At this time, Yang Di only appeared in the game.

He didn't get any more good chances on the court, grabbing two rebounds before being replaced by Van Gundy, and the Heat used the opening lineup to face the enemy.

At this time, the Magic momentum has been completed, and from the second half of the third quarter, all of them can score continuously, which gives every Magic player a great encouragement in their hearts.

Maddie drew Grant's fourth foul and went to the free throw line to score his 30th point of the game.

Momentum is a very mysterious thing, and after not shooting, the Heat lose their way on the offensive end, and even Eddie Jones begins to miss the open position.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the Magic were leading by more than a ten.

The Heat fought back in the last wave of offense, between the fifth and fourth minutes, and played 5-0, and then the Magic called a timeout, and Maddy came back to hit a three-point shot to calm the game.

Wade missed his 15th shot, and the game ended as the Magic outscored the Heat by 15 points, 106-91.

The best performer of the game was Maddy, who scored 35 points on 11-of-24 shooting, followed by Juwan Howard with 24 points and eight rebounds. On the Heat side, the highest shooting percentage is naturally Yang Di, who scored 6 points on 3-of-3 shooting, and the rest of the shooting percentages, whether Wade, Odom or Eddie Jones, are less than 40% of 5.

In addition to scoring 6 points, Yang Di also had 7 rebounds and 1 block, and his efficiency was still extremely high.

After the game, ESPN interviewed Maddie, the best athlete.

Reporter: "You guys played a beautiful counterattack, can you tell me how the Magic team adjusted from the backward situation?" ”

If Yang Di is here, he will definitely say, what is there to say, we threw in, they couldn't invest, that's all.

Maddy, on the other hand, was humble and thoughtful: "Mainly due to positivity, in the second half we played more aggressively, hit a couple of key goals, we passed the ball, shared the ball, everybody did a good job. ”

Reporter: "You scored 35 points today, and the Heat's defense doesn't seem to be working much for you?" ”

Maddie smiled and glanced at the reporter.

The young young reporter looked at him a little nervously, the palm holding the microphone seemed to be clenched very tightly, and he trembled slightly, Maddie knew in his heart, it turned out to be a rookie reporter, no wonder the questions asked were so boring. He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Heat's defense is good. ”

He paused and continued: "I like their No. 8 a lot, this is a rookie with a lot of potential, he can grab frontcourt rebounds, he can dunk and he has a good defense. The Heat were one-on-one markers, and they had times when they caused me problems, and I remember their No. 3 cutting me off a dribble. ”

......

Maddy's praise of Jandy after the game can only be regarded as an episode, the home loss to the East is a big deal for the Heat, and after returning to the locker room, Stan Van Gundy is furious.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man looks like a Gallic warrior, blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes and his temper, scolding from the top of every player's head, even a multi-millionaire star like Odom.

It wasn't until he went to the post-match press conference that the crowd was relieved.

Yang Di took a shower and changed his clothes and was about to leave, so Wade secretly complained to him, "The head coach is too fierce, isn't it just that he lost the game, as if we deliberately wanted to lose." ”

After stuffing their clothes into their backpacks, the two men left the locker room side by side.

"He probably thinks it's a pity that some of the balls are too bad, after all, he didn't reach his goal, and it's really sad to see the big win being overturned."

"According to me, I should have replaced you earlier, Juwan Howard felt so good in the third quarter, there is no reason to keep letting him ask for it." Wade said dissatisfied.

Yang Di glanced at Wade with emotion, thinking that Wade was really good to him, but helplessly, the team was not under his control, although he was now the training object of the Heat, but after all, it had not reached the point of being a core player.

"I think Maddy's shooting is really good, he hit a lot of long-range shots tonight." Yang Di said admiringly.

"His shooting point is too high, it's too difficult to defend, and when the touch comes, it's a series of goals." Speaking of Maddie, Wade is also very helpless, he is ten centimeters shorter than Maddie, and the coach did not arrange him to defend Maddie at all, so this game is to watch Maddie score a lot of goals.

"It's possible to cover the close guard, but it's easy to foul." Yang Di thought for a while and said.

Wade nodded in agreement, "I don't know how he practiced his low flat ball, and it really tested the core strength of the waist and abdomen." ”

The two chatted about the game, and then walked out of the arena together.

Outside the arena, it was already dark in Miami, and the lights were flowing and the traffic was busy......
