Basketball: Chosen Victim

Chapter 102 I didn't expect you to have today too!

With a brilliant record of seven consecutive victories, Wu Di embarked on an away trip with the team again.

On the team plane to Indiana, Wu Di opened the NBA news section.

The first thing that catches the eye is the news headlines that Harden's parody of his double stepback was blown by the referee.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have today!"

The corner of Wu Di's mouth raised. He used this trick at least three years earlier than Harden in his previous life.

For 10 years, Harden was still only a super sixth man in the Thunder, that is, the super sixth man.

At this stage, Harden's ball-handling skills are not strong enough, and his core strength has not yet reached the minimum threshold for the black-tech action of the court. Can't use this trick smoothly.

However, thanks to Harden's demonstration, more and more netizens began to understand the technical difficulty contained in the double back step. They @吴迪 apologized to him one after another, and expressed their desire to see more of this unique footstep.

Wu Di shook his head, double retreat is not a conventional weapon for him now.

He was able to use it frequently before, mainly because no one has ever used it. When a defender like Iguodala is surprised, the shooting time window left for him will be about 0.4s to 0.6s, which is normal The reaction time of the 0.2s step back is two to three times, and he has plenty of time to adjust his shooting posture.

But now this pace is almost becoming his signature action, and the defender already has psychological expectations when he defends again. If his explosive power no longer increases, the shooting time window left for him will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, it can only be used at critical moments when disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

He continued to browse the news, next to the headlines were the record rankings of each team.

The current record of the Cavaliers is 11 wins and 6 losses. This record even surpassed the Orlando Magic and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference!

The corner of Wu Di's mouth turned upwards. He clearly remembered that before the start of this season, most of the media's season predictions were that the Eastern Conference had a 75% probability of being the bottom one, and a 25% probability of the Eastern Conference being the bottom two!

Now they are fourth in the Eastern Conference, a full ten places ahead of what the media predicted!

Now, the same group of media have started to brag about them again:

"Shuai's magic ball system is an epoch-making tactical system, which is very suitable for the current lineup of the current Cavaliers! The defensive teams Grizzlies and the 76ers have not stopped them. If other teams do not find a way to crack the magic ball, we are confident. It is predicted that they will win at least ten or even twenty consecutive victories in the next game!"

"The only thing that can stop the Cavaliers winning streak is themselves! But obviously, their game is very good! The seven-game winning streak is just the beginning, and the Cavaliers will soon hit the -game winning streak created by the Spurs this season!"

"Although the next Cavaliers guest scene will face the Heat with the luxurious Big Three and experience the first big test of the magic ball system, but the Heat lost the game against the Cavaliers' defeated Grizzlies yesterday! From this we infer, There is a high probability that the Cavaliers' winning streak will continue!"

"The Cavaliers are a team with a very reasonable combination of old, middle-aged and young players. There are experienced veterans like Antawn Jamison, Baron Davis, and Anthony Parker in the team, as well as Germans who continue to improve on the court. Andre Jordan, Daniel Gibson, plus league supernova Wu Di, the chemistry of this team is destined to be invincible!"

……

Wu Di counted the media that sent this kind of article, and compared it with the list of media that Si Lin recorded to him and suggested that the alliance implement drug testing on him, and found that there are many overlaps!
There is no doubt that the Cavaliers have been accurately praised by certain interest groups!

Now the Cavaliers will beat the Heat?

The magic ball system does not have such a large energy.

He is only a superstar now, facing Lao Zhan, the static talent is tens of millions, and the comprehensive evaluation is at least a big level worse. The role he plays is limited, and he needs to continue to krypton.

The depth of the Heat's lineup is also much stronger than that of the Cavaliers. The number of starting-level players alone is more than double that of them.

The Cavaliers will beat the Heat, but definitely not now.

After all, the current Heat is Riley's painstaking effort for many years, and they still have a long way to go if they want to match!

Team running-in, tactical drills, reinforcements for Love, reinforcements for Beverly, Wu Di's own improvement, make-up lessons for the playoffs, etc...

Now the higher the media praises them, the harder they will fall, and the harder it will be to get back up, delaying their next journey...

He looked up at his teammates in the cabin. Now everyone is in high spirits, playing cards and drinking, and their faces are full of honey and confidence!

Wu Di expressed his concerns about the current state of the team to Scott, but the latter didn't care much:
"Confidence is not enough? Before the season, we were afraid that we would not be able to build up our confidence. Now that we have managed to win seven games in a row, should we let them continue to cry?"

Wu Di shook his head. There is still a difference between self-confidence and arrogance. He casually yelled into the cabin:
"WOW, ESPN actually said we can win 15 games in a row!"

Immediately there was a response:
"Say less, at least 20 games!"

"How is it possible, at least 40 games!"

"If you want to do it, make it big and break the record of 72 wins!"

"Ha ha!"

……

Scott's expression became serious all of a sudden, he realized the seriousness of this problem!
The difference between self-confidence and arrogance is reflected in words or actions.

The sweat needed to win 20 games in a row, the Cavaliers are still far from reaching...

Take Wu Di's one-on-one fight as an example. Since Wu Di singled out everyone last time, no one has come to Wu Di for a one-on-one fight!
It's not just because they are convinced by Wu Di.

After all, Wu Di has already spoken, friendly discussions and exchanges have made progress, and he has proved that as long as he fights hard, he will definitely win.

It takes a lot of courage to face the problems that exist in oneself, and the sweat required to solve these problems is even more difficult for these veterans who have entered the comfort zone!
Now that the extra training after the game, Jamison has been suspended due to his physical condition, and Jordan's training attitude is average, and one hour of extra training is already the limit.

Therefore, with the current state of this group of people, they are definitely not worthy of such a record of 20 consecutive victories!

But they shouted it so easily, even breaking the record of 72 wins seemed to be just a matter of moving their fingers...

Scott nodded solemnly to Wu Di, and immediately began to formulate a new training plan.

Wu Di sent a private letter to Mengchao to ask her to publish an objective article to analyze the current problems of the Cavaliers, hoping to achieve the effect of rectifying the chaos.

Why not find Si Lin, because now the Cavaliers say that Si Lin's articles should be read backwards. Only media people like Meng Chao who have always loved them can listen to their criticisms.

However, it was a bit late. In the game against the Pacers that night, they sent 6 turnovers in the first quarter!
Although Wu Di's touch continued, he hit a few key shots to bite the score, and even helped the team establish a slight advantage of 4 points in the first quarter, but every time it was a key shot, no one could hold back!

Not long after the start of the second quarter, the Pacers overtook the score with consecutive open 3-pointers from big shooting guard Mike Dunleavy!

At this time, other Cavaliers players not only failed to assist Wu Di in chasing points, but began to fight alone...

It was Cavaliers point guard Ramon Sessions!
This guy probably saw Davis showing signs of physical recovery, and wanted to try his best to play as well as possible to get more chances to play.

However, the result was just the opposite!
The Pacers seized this opportunity. At the end of the first half, they not only overtook the score, but also extended their lead to double digits in one fell swoop.

"Damn, the dribbling guard can't do a good job!"

The angry head coach Scott wants to warm up and play!
The Cavaliers had no choice but to deploy a two-point guard lineup in the third quarter, but Gibson's speed was too different from that of the Pacers' Darren Collison, and he was directly reduced to a keychain.

Darren Collison, like Wall Gewall, comes from a track and field family. His parents are both national track and field athletes. Facing Gibson, he won from the starting line to the finish line.

However, in the third quarter, Wu Di still narrowed the point difference to 6 points in three rounds with an unsolvable three-pointer and a double-step-back three-pointer.

Now on the Pacers' front line, "Pickled Pepper" Paul George, like "Primary School Student" Curry, is far from developed, so once Wu Di enters the state, no one can stop him.

But in the fourth quarter, Scott did not let Wu Di play. First, he could not reduce physical wear and tear to avoid injury, and second, he wanted to use a failure to make the players realize the reality as soon as possible!
So, when the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 90-104!

Wu Di scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists and scored 30+ again, but the winning streak was still ended!

The players of the Cavaliers were like eggplants beaten by frost in an instant, and they never returned from the arrogance they had when they came back...

Scott patted Wu Di on the shoulder: "It's a good thing we have you, otherwise something big will happen! But we have to find a way to get the team back in shape as soon as possible!"
