13. Touchstone
"Well done, Chinese!"
"Come on, man! You've tortured the people of Denver to death! ”
Wu Dawei walked back to the bench, Vallejo and Hollins took the lead in meeting him, and the two tall men gave Wu Dawei a punch, which made him grin in pain.
However, the two of them didn't seem to realize that they were too heavy, and they put their arms around Wu Dawei's shoulders and praised him for what he had just done.
"Wu, your table just now is so good! Listen to me, you're going to have to hold on until I get back on the field! Trust me, as long as you can persevere, I can bring victory to everyone! ”
Valejo said as if he were the savior. Soon his words attracted a snort from Hollins: "Andre, you should sit honestly on the sidelines with your two hits!" ”
After disdaining Valejo, Hollins turned to Wu Dawei and said, "Hey, man, this narcissist is annoying, but he's right. You've got to keep it like that, and I'm sure if you can keep it that way, and it won't be long before you can replace this narcissist and become a player! ”
Wu Dawei accepted the praise of his teammates on the bench, and Byron Scott, who was standing on the court with the assistant coaches to discuss countermeasures, had a slightly stern expression.
"Byron, I think after this timeout, that old guy George Karl will bring Anthony on the pitch. Are we still going to leave Wu on the court? ”
The first to speak was Craig Iroh. The new assistant coach is a former Cavaliers player. Byron Scott glanced at his young assistant, and he knew what Iloh was worried about.
He was afraid that if Wu Dawei couldn't prevent Anthony, he would break the confidence he had just established. But since coming into contact with Mr. Wu in the summer, Scott feels that the young man does not look like a fragile child who languishes when he suffers a setback.
On the contrary, his swaggering personality may make him more combative when facing Anthony.
However, Scott doesn't want to make his own decision, he wants to hear from Wright Tibbetts, who has been training David Wu all summer.
Craig was right. But Wu Dawei is just ...... now" Byron Scott turned his eyes and asked Tibbetts on the side: "Wright, what do you think?" ”
Tibbetts's mind came to mind the scene of Wu Dawei practicing hard under his own hands this summer, and he laughed: "I think he put in so much effort and sweat this summer, not to bully the soft and fear the the court." I think he's going to take on that challenge, and he told me he's going to get the best defensive player. ”
The coaches laughed because they thought the kid was a little bit confident, but they liked the spirit of going up every day.
Wang Han spoke, in the mahjong world, Lao Tzu called the second, and no one dared to call the first; In the same way, for the current Wu Dawei, his immediate goal is to be the best defensive player.
When the best defensive player was pulled aside by the head coach and learned that he was going to face a big killer like Anthony, Wu Dawei was like Garfield seeing a chicken roll in a cage, and he was excited and apprehensive.
He glanced into the distance, and sure enough, Carmelo Anthony had taken off his training jacket. Predictably, when the timeout is over, it will be when Anthony comes on. With Anthony, the people of Denver, who had been flustered before, seemed to calm down.
It was as if Carmelo Anthony was the answer to their problem, and the sky was falling, and Anthony was holding on.
He's only 26 years old, and he often wears a childish smile on his baby's face, which never seems to grow, and although sometimes people make fun of him as Taijun Ohki, more often than not, people call him a superstar. …,
Watching Anthony walk onto the court, the flashing lights of the whole court focused on his sky blue jersey, Wu Dawei's heart yearns, the backbone of a team, the league's signature superstar, what kind of glory should it be?!
Wu Dawei didn't know, because he had never walked to this height. But he has this desire, and the road to becoming the best defensive player is not that you have strangled a few nobodies, but that you have made the opponent play abnormally in the confrontation with this kind of superstar.
He said to Scott: "Don't worry, coach, I'll do everything I can to defend him!" ”
There is no ambition, just these few bland words, but it makes Byron Scott extremely down-to-earth. The black head looked at the face of the young man in front of him, and suddenly sighed with emotion, although this kid is sometimes proud, but his pragmatism is like all the sweat he left over this summer.
He's been trying.
The game restarted, and Wu Dawei's appearance brought cheers. The Cleveland people spared no effort to applaud because of Wu Dawei's previous expression. Appeared in two minutes, contributing 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 block and 1 steal.
The Denver man had the ball, and Anthony stood on the sidelines and played the ball to J.R. Smith before jogging over.
Wu Dawei stood on the three-point line, took a deep breath, and looked at the little melon that was getting closer and closer, and his heart boiled with a feeling that he didn't know whether it was nervous or excited.
Last season, although he was already a league player and enjoyed a certain amount of popularity, his perception of the league's superstars was only slightly better than that of the average fan.
Most of the fans saw the star from the TV, and he Wu Dawei was sitting on the bench. Last season, every time he took to the pitch, it was almost over. The team is either on the verge of a big win or a big loss, usually by which time the superstars have put on their training coats and are sitting on the bench in a relaxed or depressed mood and sipping Gatorade.
Therefore, tonight can be said to be the first time in Wu Dawei's career that he has faced a superstar player in the league. Carmelo Anthony's sturdiness surprised Wu Dawei the moment the two first came into contact, but that's all.
With a weight of 105 kilograms, Little Melon is usually able to run rampant in the third position. But in front of Wu Dawei, he still fell behind.
If it weren't for Wu Dawei's excitement, maybe he wouldn't have been able to lightly receive a pass from JR Smith after leaning on Wu Dawei.
Almost in the same position as Reinaldo Balkoman's last back-to-back singles, Wu was more cautious than he was in the previous round. Before Anthony could attack, the breathtaking momentum on him came to his face.
While Wu Dawei was a little out of breath, it also made him excited. How will he attack? It is a strong protruding inner line with a strong body after turning; Or is it straight to the point and relying on strong strength to carry out singles?
Wu Dawei couldn't guess Anthony's choice, but he found that no matter how Anthony chose, he seemed to have a way to deal with it. Is this the result of my hard work all summer? Wu Dawei's mind came to mind the myriad of defensive techniques that Tibbetts had taught him.
He suddenly realized that he really seemed to have some confidence in his mind.
The duel between the two on the court attracted the attention of the audience. Not only head coach Byron Scott and Wright Tibbetts, who trained David Wu in the summer, but also team owner Gilbert and team manager Ferry, who sat on the sidelines.
Everyone can't wait to see what kind of momentum this young player will show when he faces Anthony.
Will his defense be able to pick off the hardest touchstone with his rifle as he did last time?
