"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the main quest and the NBA debut"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the immediate task, and the bench is exerting force."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for beating the Philadelphia 76ers."
At the end of the game, a series of system prompts stunned Yang Di, Yang Di grew his mouth, his head was a little foggy, and he stood up dizzily, Wade came over and hugged him.
"Well done, my brother."
Yang Di reacted and patted Wade on the back fiercely, "You too." Wade had 18 points and 4 assists in this game, although there were 5 turnovers, but he has shown extraordinary potential, full of aggression and fighting spirit on the court, under his full-court defense, Iverson still scored 26 points, but the shooting rate was miserable, only 9 of 25 shots, and the real shooting rate was less than 50%.
Iverson played 45 minutes and had a break at the beginning of the second quarter, but the team lost 74-89 to the Heat, who were third from the bottom in the East last year, by 15 points.
Yang Di walked down the players' tunnel, and Wade was left on the scene by ESPN reporters for interviews.
The ESPN reporter held the microphone to Wade's chest, and there was a cacophony of voices at the scene, and Wade had to lower his head to hear the reporter's question.
"Congratulations Dwyan, you made a great debut, you scored 18 points tonight, you contributed on the offensive end, are you happy with your performance?"
Wade shrugged his shoulders, "We were very scorched in the first half, you know, they caused us a lot of problems, and I was mainly focused on the first half, so I was happy with my performance in the first half. But in the second half, I missed a lot of balls on the offensive end and I wasn't particularly satisfied, so let's watch half and half. ”
"We've noticed that Iverson has been less effective defensively and you've played 38 minutes, did Coach Stan Van Gundy do your homework before the game?"
"yes, you know, Allen is the top scorer in the NBA, and when he wants to score, the defenders get a lot of headaches, and all we can do is limit his efficiency as much as possible, and luckily, we did a good job today, thanks to the team's efforts," Wade modestly said. ”
"Okay, one last question." The female reporter lifted her glasses, looked at Wade's sexy cheeks, and suddenly felt that the 21-year-old rookie was so charming, "The next game is back-to-back games, you are about to go to Boston to challenge the Celtics, are you confident that you will continue to win in Boston?" ”
"Yes, we've always been confident. Just like we did tonight, we controlled the rebounds, we controlled the rhythm of the offense, and several of our teammates grabbed the frontcourt rebounds, especially Yang Di, did he grab 4 or 5 frontcourt rebounds? I don't remember, but it made a huge contribution to both the second attack and the morale of the opponent. ”
Wade didn't forget to help Yang Di blow a wave in the end, anyway, it's free publicity, so you don't have to use it in vain.
Then, after the interview, Wade smiled at the camera, put on a towel and turned to walk into the players' tunnel, by which time the fans in the Wajovia Center arena were almost gone.
......
In the first game, Yang Di's performance amazed some of the local media in Miami and some of the Chinese media in the spotlight.
On the first day of the opening game without the Rockets, Yang Di's appearance as a Chinese player naturally resonated with the Chinese, especially when he grabbed many frontcourt rebounds in the second quarter, which was impressive. Some people compare Yang Di with Yao Ming, who also participated in his debut last year, which is obviously much better.
On the same day, the Heat's cold defeat of the 76ers was also an extraordinary piece of news. The Spurs narrowly beat the Suns by 1 point at home, and the Lakers, who gathered F4, beat the Mavericks at home.
On the flight to Boston, Yang Di checked his latest data in the system space.
The strength has increased to 91, from the perspective of the system's rating, it should be an A rating, a bounce power of 81, a B+ level, and the rest of the data have a slight improvement, overall, the offensive overall rating is 61, the rating is C, the defense has a total rating of 79, the rating is B, the rebounding total rating is 83, and the rating is B+.
In addition, he still has 650 villain points accumulated that he has not used, all of which are accumulated when doing instant tasks, Yang Di calculated, and now he has an average daily output of 10 villain points, compared to the increasing attribute points, the speed is not a little slower. However, when he defeated the 76ers at night, he was rewarded with 50 villain points, which was an absolute surprise.
There are still no items to exchange in the exchange shop, many items are in a state of confinement, such as a team lineup card pack that Yang Di cares about very much, which requires 2000 exchange points, and after the exchange is over, you can get the player data (change) of the current whole team, but it is not a template training card, it can only be used as a reference, if you want to specify a team card pack, you need to pay another 1000 villain points.
"Profiteers, phew!" Yang Di scolded in a low voice, and Odom on the side opened his eyes in confusion.
"What's wrong, Yang?"
"No, it's fine."
"You did really well today, Mark couldn't even steal your rebounds." Odom said with a smile.
"Okay, how long will it take to get to Boston?" Yang Di asked.
"About an hour, soon."
Yang Di said: "Back-to-back means that two games are played in a row within 24 hours, but if the games are in two cities far apart, isn't it all time spent on the road? ”
"yes, that's about it." Odom nodded and said, "Normally, the city shouldn't be too far away if you're back-to-back, but sometimes, those so-called mathematicians are really bad, maybe they will arrange for you to play in Philadelphia tonight, and let you go to Phoenix or Salt Lake City tomorrow." ”
"That's right, it's not the East Coast flying to the West Coast after all." Yang Di laughed.
......
Boston is one of the most historically and culturally valuable cities in American history, and the Boston Celtics carry the glory of the NBA giants, flying 16 championship flags in the wind, showing the years and heritage.
But since Larry Bird announced his retirement in '92, the team has been mired in the mud.
It wasn't until the year before that, led by 25-year-old Paul Pierce and 26-year-old Anthony Walker, that Boston Celtics re-entered the playoffs, that year, the young twin stars brought the Celtics to the heights of the Eastern Conference Finals, in the third game of the Eastern Conference finals series, Pierce led the Celtics to stage a fourth-quarter comeback, he scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Celtics to turn the tables around after falling behind by 21 points, but unfortunately, the final total score was still 2-4 to the Nets.
"It's a pity that the Celtics have serious problems on the inside, and that was magnified in the playoffs last year. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, they met the Nets again, and in front of Kenyon Martin, the Celtics were all floating outside to shoot, averaging nearly 24 three-pointers per game, but only 30 percent shooting, especially Anthony Walker. ”
Talking about the Celtics, several Heat players are very interested, after all, it is a giant team in the NBA, and every move affects the nerves of the players.
"Anthony Walker had a terrible playoff performance last year, and I watched him play at the time, and he shot horribly from the perimeter, maybe less than 20 percent, and he didn't score any points, and he wasn't in the regular season at all," Wade said. ”
"It was Paul Pierce who played well, averaging 29 points per game, although the Celtics were swept by the Nets."
"So at the beginning of this season, Anthony Walker will be traded by the Celtics? Just three unstellar players and a first-round pick? "Odom thought it was incredible, the Celtics were crazy, how could they judge heroes by momentary success or failure?
"Who knows? I hope Anthony Walker is happy with the Mavericks, and we have a good chance of winning this game anyway, because we have a good chance of winning this game. Marik said.
"It's just a little tired~ This damn back-to-back." Odom sighed and said with a sad face. "yes, Yang."
"Huh?" Yang Di was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I haven't been fighting for long." ”
"Cut, it's not fun." Odom rolled his eyes, speechless at Yang Di's answer.
