104. Hot discussion
When Wu Dawei appeared in the team's locker room in his formal suit, he was ridiculed by his teammates. Because this has never been Wu Dawei's style, it is as if Chaplin became the president of the United States, which is jaw-dropping.
So the outfit didn't stay on Wu Dawei for too long, he took it off and went to the court with his teammates. Although David Stern has previously spoken to coach Byron Scott, it does not mean that Scott will follow his hopes.
David Stern, as the president of the league, naturally hopes that Wu Dawei will take advantage of the momentum of last night's game to become a star in one fell swoop, fill the gap left by Yao Ming, and become another factor for Chinese fans to continue to watch the NBA league.
But Byron Scott is not a league executive, and as the head coach of the team, the only thing that comes to mind is the victory and the team's goals. Although Wu scored a career-high 26 points in last night's game, Scott didn't think it was time to improve Wu's tactical position on the offensive end.
He never judged a hero by the appearance of a player in a game, and certainly did not really change the team's current tactics because of David Stern's words, not to mention that David Stern is not even his boss.
And Scott didn't have any tactical drills scheduled for today's training session, the team only experienced a thrilling game last night, and he didn't want to put a lot of pressure on the players in this training session.
It's just for the players to stay in shape.
So this training session, which started at 9 o'clock, ended early at 11 o'clock at noon. Mr. Wu and a few teammates who had a good relationship went to a nearby Chinese restaurant for a meal and returned home.
In fact, he went straight home after training instead of fooling around with his teammates because he promised a couple of interviews last night. With the exception of one interview with local Cleveland media, the rest were from China.
The heat of the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat that ended yesterday did not dissipate with the end of the game, but continued into the next day. Wu Dawei's-for-tat appearance with LeBron James in the game, and his crazy breaking of various records in his NBA career, also made people start to discuss whether his last night's appearance was just an outburst amid his appreciation.
Although Wu Dawei has been constantly staging impressive games since the beginning of the new season, there is no foundation before, so people will always wonder why he has such an appearance.
"Wu Dawei has been breaking all the records of his career since the start of this season, from his amazing substitute appearance at the beginning of the season, to his rapid occupation of becoming an important rotation player for the team, and now the team is almost impenetrable. This 20-year-old Chinese young man is still making people feel amazing.
In last night's game between the Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, Wu Dawei even frantically refreshed his various numbers in the league. With 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, he was able to go toe-to-toe with LeBron James all night. In this high-profile game, Wu Dawei not only showed the reason why he can lead the current league steal list and block list, but also let people see that he has become a core of offense and defense! Maybe the loss of LeBron James this summer is not a big news for Cleveland fans, God sent David Wu from Miami, and at this point, maybe we have to thank Miami again for their generosity! ”
This is how Brian Windhorst, a reporter for the Cleveland Honest Businessmen, described him after interviewing David Wu. …,
Afterwards, Winderhorst was invited by Cleveland's local sports program to be a guest on the show, and when the host asked Winderhorst if Wu Dawei could continue this state, the old Cavaliers fan replied very firmly: "God favors every hardworking person." ”
As the brightest star of last night's game, and even overpowering LeBron James for a while, Wu Dawei began to be mentioned by more and more people. And as the other protagonist of last night's game, the president of the Miami Heat, Pat Riley, was quickly targeted by reporters.
It was his hard work this summer that has led to the star-studded Miami Heat team that is now here. In the summer that James and Bosh joined the team, Pat Riley received almost as much praise as he did when he created "SHOWTIME" in Los Angeles decades ago.
But now, as Wu Dawei goes on to improve the season, and his performance becomes more and more impressive, some people are beginning to question Pat Riley's vision.
Everyone knows that Wu Dawei is just an insignificant addition to the Heat and Cavaliers trading LeBron James this summer, and the Cavaliers didn't realize that Wu Dawei would have such a wonderful performance as he is now, so even if the Heat don't hand over Wu Dawei, LeBron James, who is determined to leave, will still come to Miami.
And if Wu Dawei stays in the Heat team and joins forces with James and Boshwell, people dare not say that this will become a Big Four team, but Wu Dawei's defensive skills are now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people believe that the defensive energy of the Heat team will definitely go to the next level!
"So, didn't you think about leaving Wu Dawei behind at that time? A player who works so hard, don't you think he has no potential? ”
The reporter's question upset Pat Riley, who was sitting in the chair, because when he brought LeBron James to Miami this summer, the people who are now sitting in front of him and questioning themselves have been like pugs in the first place.
"Actually, I don't know David Wu very well. Like you, I am as surprised as you are at what he is doing. But that doesn't mean I'm trading him away is the wrong choice, and I think any basketball team on the planet would be willing to give any leverage to get LeBron James. After all, he is the number one basketball player right now, and having him means that your team will be the favorite to win the championship. ”
"But right now, the Cavaliers aren't much worse than yours. And Wu Dawei also refreshed his various numbers last night. ”
The reporter reluctantly asked, he was a black-haired and yellow-skinned reporter, so he didn't like Pat Riley's statement at this time.
"That's the problem. In fact, before this game, Wu Dawei's average was only 14 points and 7 rebounds per game, but it just so happened that the game in which he set a new count was a game that was highly watched because of James. And I don't think the Cavaliers' outstanding record this season is entirely because of Wu Dawei's performance. Byron Scott is a very good coach, he once again put together a team that is scattered, and he keeps his players focused at all times, and the wonderful counter-attacking is the result of the whole team working together! ”
Pat Riley's rhetoric soon found its way into sports news of all stripes. Obviously, he is not willing to admit that he traded Wu Dawei to let go of a good player. This can be seen from his disguised praise for the tactical literacy of Cavaliers coach Scott and belittled Wu Dawei's role in it.
Such a little trick is easy to see.
"Everyone knows that Pat Riley is a great coach and basketball man. But he did make a bad choice this time. ”
Charles Barkley commented on Pat Riley's remarks to reporters on a sports show, and compared to Pat Riley's opinion, Ba Fat Man is very sure that Wu Dawei will become a good forward player.
"David is a fantastic player, he's very talented, and that's why he always surprises people! I promise his watch in the Cavaliers vs. Heat game was by no means an outburst, and I could even make a bet with Mr. Riley on that! ”
"Bet on what?" The host asked, "Is it still a kiss on the ass?" ”
"No matter what, as long as Mr. Riley can put down his face, I am willing to accompany him to the end!"
Barkley appeared confident this time, and Pat Riley responded with the words: "Yao Ming made Barkley make a wrong choice, and this time, David Wu made Barkley make a wrong choice." We all know that Barkley's judgment is as unreliable as his will to lose weight! ”
