75. The enemy of Cleveland

"The reason why I'm asking you to replace Joey in the next game as a starter. It's because of your excellent performance this month, I have no reason to put such a great player on the bench, so, GREAT, I hope you don't let me down either. If you don't have the ability to perform in the starting position, then I'll replace you as well. This position is not for you, and to be a good starter, you have to be born for it! ”

That's what head coach Byron Scott told him after telling him that he was going to play in the next game. The intention is to let Wu Dawei not have too much inflated mentality.

He knew that the young man in front of him, although he worked hard, his boundless appearance of being easily proud was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Scott is afraid that Wu Dawei will play abnormally because of this, and playing and coming off the bench are completely different things.

Coming off the bench means you're playing against a second-tier player from the opposing team's squad, while coming on means you're going to be playing against the opponent's best player in that position.

This kind of pressure is completely incomparable. Naturally, Byron Scott had to give Wu Dawei a vaccination first, so that the young man would not get carried away and be hit in the game.

But Scott doesn't have to worry about this at all, a player who has slowly risen to prominence from a small role in obscurity, you don't have to talk to them about the heart of the champion like inspiring star players, you just need to give them a little affirmation and hope, just like at this time Scott gave the position to Wu Dawei, who has been playing as a substitute, they will concentrate and go all out in the game!

Because, no one wants to go back to the dark life at the end of that helpless bench.

The news that Wu Dawei became a player spread on the same day. Especially now that the Cavaliers have only recently smashed the rumors that they are going to trade Wu Dawei, is this young man who was still unknown in the summer already on the verge of becoming a team at this time?

Although Wu Dawei's various performances since the start of the game are all surprising, it is only when he is really rumored that he wants to become a player that people suddenly realize that the progress of this young striker is really not ordinary fast!

If he plays according to this table until the end of the season, people even think that maybe his honors will become countless...... Steals, Blocks, Most Improved Player Award...... Maybe there will be the best defensive player as well.

But not everyone thinks so, because they feel that Wu Dawei's achievements at this time were all obtained when he was a substitute player, and no one knows whether he will become terrible when he enters the lineup.

After all, the burden of competition between the substitutes and the main team is very different. A player who can play well on the bench doesn't necessarily mean a position that he can do. There are countless examples of this in the NBA, a league that has existed for nearly 60 years.

"GREAT IS INDEED A GREAT SUBSTITUTE PLAYER, AND THE REASON WHY I CALL HIM THIS WORD IN THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S HIS NEW NICKNAME, BUT ALSO BECAUSE WHAT HE SHOWS ON THE BENCH CAN REALLY BE CALLED GREAT. There has never been any player in the league who can get the title of the league's steal king and block king as a substitute player, Wu Dawei was originally the most likely person, but now, this possibility has also disappeared with him becoming the new Cavaliers. And we don't know if he'll be able to keep his efficiency after starting the game, because it's the first time in his career. ”

Bill Simmons, a basketball columnist for ESPN, questioned Wu's position in his column, and the skepticism quickly turned to ridicule. …,

James Matthews of The Akron Beacon said it was definitely the most nonsensical arrangement of the season, and even Byron Scott would eventually become the first head coach to be sacked this season because of this stupid move. His reasoning is: What does an overly arrogant player become when he becomes a player? Of course, there is no one in sight, and then the efficiency drops directly to freezing. Finally, a return to mediocrity!

Although Wu Dawei's "big mouth" is an important reason for his notoriety in the United States, there are far fewer people who like him in North America than those who hate him; But on the other side of the ocean, in China, it is not the same at all.

LeBron James is indeed a world-class sports star, but even if he sets a series of shocking records in this league, it is difficult to match the title of Wu Dawei as a Chinese player in China.

"Big Viagra is terrible this time, players, play hard, you can definitely enter the All-Star!"

"Big Viagra has finally played his own strength, and I hope he can replicate Da Yao's success in the NBA!"

For Wu Dawei's more and more state of the stadium, as compatriots Chinese fans are naturally overjoyed, the same connection is the only reason that connects them, and because of this, Chinese fans have higher expectations for Wu Dawei than others.

Of course, just like in the United States, there are also people in China who don't like Wu Dawei, but the proportion happens to be the opposite compared to in North America.

Although these people only account for a very small percentage of the total number of fans, they are active in various sports forums and even every post on the Internet. What they are best at is to use ironic words to ridicule Chinese players who are struggling in American professional basketball, ridiculing them for not measuring their own strength, and only relying on the name of Chinese to be accepted by the NBA team, which simply loses the face of Chinese in the world.

These people have a common name, called Kuroko, and in the hearts of many fans, they also have a code name called Silly X.

"Yo~ Viagra has finally come out~ It seems that the time to point to the championship is just around the corner, looking forward to Viagra beating the old big three of the Celtics in the next game, completing the great feat that James has accomplished, and becoming the first person in the league!"

These people don't need a reason to hack a player, but sometimes, what they say can be mistaken. The Big Three from the Boston Celtics is indeed the first test that Wu Dawei encountered after becoming a player.

This veteran league powerhouse, which has become a league powerhouse since the formation of the Big Three in 08, has always been an insurmountable gap for the Cavaliers in the LeBron James era.

It was precisely because of another elimination by the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs last season that James left Cleveland and went to Miami to form a big three with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to attack the championship.

So, the Cleveland people hated this team from Massachusetts.

Although it cannot be said that LeBron James's departure was caused by the Boston Celtics, at least there is something to do with it. And during the James period, it was this team that woke up the Cavaliers' dream of winning the championship repeatedly and mercilessly in the playoffs.

Therefore, although the outside world is now rumored about Wu Dawei's appointment as a player for the Cavaliers, as long as he can play a beautiful game in his first game and help the team win, then I believe that the waves will naturally stop at that time.

And this is not an ordinary battle, this team that has come to Cleveland is the bitter master of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the past few years, they are the enemies of Cleveland!

PS: It's a little late, sorry......

Thank you for the big rewards~~
