Chapter 574 Chapter 571: Old Wolf's Midlife Crisis (4.2K begging for votes)
There are thousands of ways to win the championship, and the first is good health.

This sentence is really not alarmist.

The New Jersey Nets are a living example.

This season, the Nets are still one of the teams with the highest salary in the league. The Russian local tycoon said that money counts?

If you have money, you have to eat your kidneys!If you have money, you have to make the most expensive lineup!

But when Deron Williams fell, the championship basically had nothing to do with the Nets.

Prokhorov, the boss of the local tycoon in Russia, is equivalent to paying for it, but he didn't eat his waist.

Deron was reimbursed for the regular season after being injured in the game against the Lakers. Although it is expected to catch up with the playoffs, but you need some time to adjust after returning from injury?
You can fuck the air as soon as you come up?
However, the playoffs don't give you time to adjust.

By the time you adjust, the series may be over.

Moreover, Deron's knee injury this time is also very worrying, worrying about whether he can recover as before.

Over the years, Deron's ankle fractures and bone spurs have occurred more than once, and both knees are also scarred.

As a superstar whose signature action is a crossover with a large change of direction, this is very bad news.

In fact, this is actually the price Deron chose to leave the Jazz.

In those years in Salt Lake City, under the old coach Sloan, although Deron didn't have much room for free play.

But playing under the system of the Jazz, Deron doesn't need to force his attack, he just needs to maximize his ability to control rhythm and organize offense.

But after coming to the Nets, there is no such a perfect system, and Deron needs to attack hard and use his personal ability to solve problems.

To put it bluntly, he has to play like a real superstar.

Of course, this is exactly what Deron wants, what he has been longing for.

But his style of play has already caused great damage to his legs.

So, in this shrinking season, Deron still fell.

I don't know if he regrets breaking his face with Sloan now.

After all, after coming to the Nets, Deron did not go further than when he was in the Jazz.

In short, in today's Nets VS Trail Blazers game, Deron can only watch from the sidelines.

It depends on whether DeRozan, Carter, Harder and Lopez can withstand the pressure and create miracles.

Well, the unlucky Nets' first game after Deron's fall happened to coincide with Carlisle's full-level number being unblocked.

Hardt said that he was very embarrassed. The only time he met the Trail Blazers in the regular season this season was that the situation was so difficult.

How can this show my mighty domineering power?
Because of the particularity of this season's schedule, the Nets and the Trail Blazers have only one chance to play against each other.

When the season just started, Hard Special drew a red circle on today on the schedule.

Although now, his status and Wayne's status are far apart.

Wayne has firmly taken the No.1 position in active service, and has four championships in hand.

And hard special, mixed up, found that he has become a veteran, but still has no fate with the championship.

Back then, he and another No. 21 were considered the greatest power forwards of the 21st century.

But now, when it comes to power forwards, people only obey Wayne, and even that idiot has to avoid him.

Not to mention the hard special who still has zero championships.

However, even so, Harder kept reminding himself: "Wayne and I are old enemies, old enemies! I must not lose to him!"

Wayne: "What happened? You, me, old enemy? Pfft!"

Therefore, although Deron was not there, it did not shake Harder's determination to win in the slightest.

This, is him as a soul dancer. Bah!It's the awareness of being a tough guy!

Today, as soon as he stepped into the rose garden, Hardt put on a fierce expression.

After he came, he didn't say anything, he walked straight to the basketball hoop, and then he gave a few headbutts.

After banging his head against the basketball hoop, Kuante immediately lay down on the ground, doing a few more push-ups.

The hormones in the wolf king's body were completely out of place.

The hard guy's set of tough guys has been adjusted at the beginning, and it really made the elementary school students laugh.

"Brother Wei, you often say that I'm funny, isn't this guy more funny than me?"

"You know a hammer, others call it tough! Besides, as far as dancing is concerned, you really have to learn from NPC Harde. His dance steps are the most exquisite I have ever seen in the NBA!"

Wayne smiled and thought of that wonderful night when Harder faced his elbow and showed off his space dance.

"Really? I can't tell that Garnett can dance." The elementary school student looked skeptical.

"Kuer, before you entered the league, there were many unforgettable stories between me and Hardt."

Seeing that Brother Wei suddenly became so serious, the elementary school student immediately decided that after today's game, he must search the Internet for videos of Hardt dancing.

Well, elementary school students don't even know that they are about to open the door to a new world.

This game, because it was Wayne's first comeback game, so there was no one absent in the Rose Garden Arena.

When the two sides were starting to jump the ball, Wayne found that the big hard staring at him viciously.

As expected of a real werewolf, this look looks like an old wolf.

But as soon as the game started, the old wolf turned into a Husky in seconds.

Well, hard special is still the same as before.

In fact, Hardt played hard today.

As soon as he came up, he played a pick-and-roll with DeRozan, and then immediately went down, catching the ball and preparing to attack the frame.

The idea is beautiful, and the process is also exquisite.

It's the last moment, which is a little embarrassing.

Because when Hardt raised the basketball and was about to layup, Wayne flashed behind Hardt in time, waved his hand lightly, and gave Hardt a big hot pot.

After all, Hardt will turn 36 in two months. Although the MVP in 2004 seems to be in sight, if you think about it carefully, it was actually 8 years ago.

8 years, this is enough to turn a color skin into an LSP.

Hardt's current physical condition is already very bad. Not to mention compared with when he was young, even compared with the Celtics, Hardt's regression is also visible to the naked eye.

For example, this ball, if it was the hard special in 2004, it would be absolutely impossible for Wayne to catch up with him.

And he will definitely not choose to layup, he will definitely dunk directly.

Not long ago, Harder had just been dunked by Mousse.

Now he is easily chased by Wayne again.

All of these things remind Hardt: "That high school rookie back then, he is really old!"

As soon as Hardt came up, he was caught, but Wayne grabbed the rebound himself after completing the block, and immediately counterattacked with the ball.

Although he is a power forward, Wayne's advancement speed is very fast.

Coupled with taking bigger steps than others, he rushed into the penalty area of ​​the other half of the court in three or two steps and completed dunks.

The 36-year-old hard special looked at the figure 99, and his eyes were full of what he looked like when he was 26 years old.

Speaking of which, after this season, Wayne will be 29 years old by July.

Wayne is not considered young anymore, let alone Hardt himself.

Hardt suddenly felt that time was too cruel.

Eh?etc?How could I remember Wayne's birthday?

Wayne turned the wolf king into a husky in no time at the beginning, and his performance in the subsequent games was ridiculous.

In the 5th minute of the first quarter, Wayne made a breakthrough from outside the three-point line.

Hardt's current defense is actually not particularly hip.Quite the contrary, he's still playing better defense than most in the league right now.

Because he was a fake fan in his previous life, Wayne remembered that this season's hard special still seemed to be in the second team of the best defense.

But the peak Wayne, how can an old defensive second-team forward be able to defend against it.

Hardt's footsteps are fine with most fours, but it still seems too slow for Wayne.

Wayne then passed the big hard special in one step, and Lopez, who was standing under the basket, was nervous at that time.

You...don't come here!

I don't want to hit the top five, Brother Wei!

Kuante tried his best to chase after Wayne, and he couldn't let Wayne do anything wrong in the three-second zone no matter what.

Wayne: Oh, don't let me do anything wrong in the three-second zone, then I'll back off!
Wayne, who was sprinting at full speed, took a step back and retreated to a position near the free throw line.

Hard Te was chased too fiercely, so he was sent flying two or three steps away.

These five best shots still have to be played hard!
With a simple emergency stop and retreat, Wayne threw away the defensive nightmare that had been in the fourth position.

Then, score with an easy mid-range shot.

Hardt cursed in embarrassment, and was about to pick up the basketball.

But at this moment, he found that Lopez was laughing!

Can you not laugh?

If it weren't for a hard special who appeared in time to help take the blame, Lopez would definitely be the top five.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Harder's veins bulged, Lopez, I have endured you for a long time!
"My brother's wife gave birth to a child."

He left speechlessly, when the hell will you be as hard as me!
In the second quarter, Hard Special finally had a chance to show his tough guy soul in front of Lopez.

That's right, hard specials have now been reduced to showing their tough guy soul in front of teammates.

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, Hardt turned his back and broke through Wayne for a layup, but was slapped by Wayne with a slap and a dribble.

But fortunately, the referee gave Wayne a foul, and Hardt saved a bit of face.

Hardt, who was lying on the ground, clenched his fists and waved his arms vigorously.

In fact, the old back pain a lot.

However, as a tough guy, he must show that he is not afraid of fierce fouls.

At this time, everyone on the Nets team was about to go up and give him a hand, but they didn't know that Harde just waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'll get up by myself!"

Such a tough guy who never needs to be picked up!
I saw Harde put his hands behind his back on his shoulders, then raised his thighs, and curled up.

Afterwards, the thigh kicked hard, and the waist and abdomen followed suit.

Hard special, this is going to be a tough guy to fight!

The result is a flutter.
Hardt was still lying on the ground, unmoved.

Hard special:.
"Cough cough, that little Luo, come, come and help your brother wolf."

"Didn't you get up by yourself?"

"If you tell me to help you, you will help me. Where is there so much nonsense!"

Although Hardt tried hard to pretend that nothing happened, the on-site camera, which did not miss any detail, still captured the sand sculpture picture of Hardt tough guy standing still and not moving at all.

From now on, there will be another famous scene of the tough guy.

Wayne saw this too, but he suppressed a smile.

Hard special is already so miserable, don't hurt him anymore!
I thought this tough guy fight was over, but I didn't expect that Hard Guy would have a show today.

In the 6th minute of the third quarter, Matthews made a shot from outside the three-point line, and Wayne rushed to the basket to grab the offensive rebound.

But the big hard special stuck in the position very solidly, and did not give Wayne a chance to go deep.

Although Wayne was stuck, as a rebounding idiot, how could he let go of the chance to grab rebounds so easily.

Therefore, Wayne still struggled to jump up, but because the position was too unfavorable, he couldn't touch the basketball.

However, under the interference of Wayne, Hardt failed to grab the ball directly, but only dialed the basketball.

The basketball flew out of bounds. If it went out of bounds, Wayne would have grabbed an offensive rebound.

How can Hardt tolerate this kind of thing happening?

He immediately threw Wayne away and ran towards the basketball.

As we all know, Hardt has always been a ball-saving maniac.

As a tough guy, he didn't even dare to fall to the ground to save the ball, how dare he call himself a tough guy?
Hardt was really active, and at his age, this kind of enthusiasm was quite rare.

Harder finally caught the basketball just in front of the sideline, and Harder slammed on the brakes immediately after getting the ball.

In the past, Hardt would definitely be able to stabilize his center of gravity with his strong core strength.

But now, Hardt leaned forward with his whole body, as if he was doing a space dance.

It's just that, looking at it, Harde is about to fall down!
"Ah, this. Temporary. Temporary."

Hard Special was going to directly call a timeout to keep the ball, but after a long time, he didn't have time to come out temporarily, and Hard Special fell into the crowd with a "puff".

The referee finally whistled at this time: "The Nets' No. 21 is out of bounds, and the Trail Blazers have the ball!"

"I'll wipe!" Kuite was furious, and immediately got up from the crowd to confront the referee.

The referee said that I really didn't hear you calling timeout, and Harder said that I was already like that, how loud do you want me to shout?
After arguing, Hardt couldn't change anything.

The Blazers still took the ball, and Harder's original heroic save became the material of the five embarrassments.

By the time the game reached the fourth quarter, Harder didn't have to work so hard anymore.

Because the game has entered garbage time!
Hardt played very hard the entire game, and he did his best to contain Wayne.

However.
With 27 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Wayne still produced very good data.And if it weren't for the early arrival of garbage time, Wayne's data could be even better.

The difference between the two sides is visible to the naked eye.

In addition, the various embarrassments in this game also indicate that his time is really running out.

Although Hard Special has averaged 15 points and 9 rebounds per game this season, but today, Hard Special has seen how big the gap is between himself and the real top four.

With Wayne around, does he really have a chance to win the championship?

It's not that hard special didn't think about going to other teams, such as the Lakers with good brothers.

But going to other teams, with the current self, can Wayne be contained?
If you can't contain Wayne, how can you beat the Blazers?
So, the best way to win the championship is to...
"Fuck!" Kuite shook his head vigorously, what was he thinking, he had such dangerous thoughts!
Wayne and I are old enemies!
Can.
Is a career without a championship really hard enough?

Hardt sighed, he never expected that he, who was in charge of the league back then, would have a day of mid-life crisis.
