Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 163 Anyway, If You Don’t Get Blood Out, You Will Never Let It Go
Anthony insisted on not distributing the ball, and when his physical strength declined in the third quarter, the defense basically became a stance.

Although his hand felt smooth for a while in the third quarter, and he made unreasonable three consecutive shots in a wave of melons, there was always a big hole in the Knicks' defense.

What is fatal is that this hole is still reserved for Wu Di.

So when he walked off the court at the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had come to 84-58.

The point difference between the two sides was even bigger, but for Anthony's end, there were still sparse applause at Madison Square Garden.

Although the Knicks will lose again, Anthony fans think their idol has done his best.

他31投12中砍下32分12篮板3助攻2抢断的华丽数据，得分都超过队里的一半了！

This can be so far behind...

To blame can only be blamed for the Knicks who only have one Anthony. If there were two Anthonys, the score would have been reversed long ago!
What?
Anthony's shooting percentage is only 38.7%?

Isn't that because the rest of the Knicks can't attract firepower, so Anthony can only make strong shots?

Alas, Anthony is so difficult...

Stoudemire's pick-and-roll is nothing more than that!
Will D'Antoni arrange tactics?

Soon, Wu Di clocked out of get off work in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter became garbage time.

两队比分最终定格在了109-86，骑士大胜23分拿下G3，系列赛比分来到2-1。

Wu Di's data in this game is not as explosive as the previous game, but he also has 27 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 blocks.

In terms of shooting percentage, Wu Di made 18 of 10 shots in the whole game, with a shooting percentage of 55.5%. He took 13 fewer shots than Anthony, but scored only 5 points less, and his efficiency was more than one level higher.

Moreover, under Wu Di's mobilization, Jordan and Love both scored in double figures, and the feeling of the two is gradually warming up.

At the press conference after the game, the reporters didn’t think about Anthony like melon fans did. They came up and started questioning him again and again:
"Anthony, you have an unshirkable responsibility for these two losses. What changes are you going to make for the next game..."

"Cameron, you have many opportunities to pass the ball on the field, why do you insist on singles?"

"A lot of fans left the game early. I interviewed some of them. They all think that your shooting percentage is too low and you don't want to pass the ball, which leads to..."

Anthony frowned and interrupted:

"Those spectators who left the stadium are not real fans at all! Why do I care what they think?"

"Hey, I said guys, I'm the one on the court, you guys sitting in the office coaching me? Stop kidding, try to get a 10 in summer league first!"

"So it's not that I don't want to answer the questions, but that the questions you ask are too low-level! I have my own way to win, and I don't need you to teach me how to fight!"

The scene fell into embarrassment instantly, all the reporters were too angry to speak, only the photographer excitedly recorded this scene.

Stoudemire on the side wanted to move the microphone away from Anthony, but Anthony felt that it was not cool enough, so he grabbed the microphone and taunted:

"There were no big-name players in New York before. It's just you reporters who are bad. When something goes wrong, you only know your tongue. What's the point? This has a problem and that has a problem. People are not perfect. If you want to criticize, I look at Jordan. Even if you join the Knicks, you will be sprayed all over your body!"

"Stop being picky. Pick again. If I lose the next game, I'll blame you for affecting my mentality. If I win, you'll have to line up and apologize to me!"

"It's only 1-2 now, and our chances of winning the next game are still very high, ha ha!"

After speaking, he got up directly, and left the press conference with Gatorade in his hand, whistling.

Anyway, he never won the best rookie, and he didn't pursue awards like MVP. Didn't the reporter just hate him?
boom!
The lungs of New York journalists are about to explode!

"Is it possible to go to the summer league and get a 10-point try"?
If you can't play in the professional basketball league, you may not be able to give professional basketball comments!
Just like you don't need to be a cook to be a foodie.

Anthony's words are pure nonsense!

"Jordan joined the Knicks and was sprayed all over the body"? !

Good guy, knowing that Jordan is going to be sprayed, dare to act wild here?

It has always been their New York media that speaks venomously, but this time it is their turn to be venomous. It feels like green lemons meeting yellow lemons—twice the sourness!

And "if you lose, blame them for affecting Anthony's mentality, and if you win, they have to line up to apologize to Anthony"?
My fellow, they have never seen such a brazen man!
"You're finished!"

"Damn it, wait for the headlines tomorrow morning!"

"Today I don't sleep and I have to dig a lot of information!"

Reporters from The New Yorker, The New York Times and others left the press conference early after uttering harsh words.

Stoudemire and D'Antoni, who were still on the stage, looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time they had experienced such an explosive post-match press conference in so many years of career.

"Well, Cameron is spoiled by the Denver media, but the poisonous tongue of the New York media is not easy to provoke..."

Stoudemire sighed.

"It's really hard to teach a child! He is such a bird, no wonder George Karl has been spraying him after the deal!"

D'Antoni shook his head.

……

The Knicks' media conference broke up unhappy, but the Cavaliers' press conference was extraordinarily lively.

Wu Di assigned tasks to Jr. Jordan, Love, and Beverly. He must speak harshly to the media and release the pressure.

So there was this scene where the three of them took turns outputting——

"The Knicks have the top three luxurious fan lineups in the United States, but it's a pity they didn't grasp it!"

Little Jordan laughed, he scored 12 points and 8 rebounds today, and also sent Anthony two blocks, and his state has recovered:

"What's their playoff slogan? By the way, smile at the boos! Isn't that about us?"

The reporters in the audience burst into laughter. Of course, there were some who didn’t laugh. The ones who didn’t laugh were New York reporters, but they were relatively few. Most of the reporters who came to the Cavaliers area were team reporters from Cleveland or national media.

"Coming to New York is like relaxing in your own backyard!"

Love pretended to show his muscles. He scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists today, but the three-pointer still failed, and he still made 3 of 0 shots...

But it's not a big problem. With Wu Di, Davis and Jamison as ballast stones, and Anthony as an assist, they shouldn't win the Knicks too easily:
"Just wait and see, we'll bring 1-3 back to Cleveland!"

"What 1-3! We will easily win 1-4!"

Beverly yelled:

"The Knicks are only used for training. We have already started preparing for the next round!"

……

After the media conference, the Cavaliers players checked into Jianguo Xiunan Hotel.

This five-star hotel is located in the Soho district of Manhattan, next to the Hudson River Park, with convenient transportation, modern decoration and very spacious rooms.

Jianguo has a personal relationship with Gilbert, so before the Cavaliers came to New York to play, they stayed at this hotel, and Wu Di was already familiar with it.

Just as Wu Di wanted to catch up with Sister Ka, Turner's phone cut in:

"Brother, you played really well! I watched the whole process, it was crazy, do you know what the outside world is saying about you now? Yellow-skinned Jordan..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Wu Di interrupted him:

"What do you want me to do?"

Turner sneered twice:
"Ahem, man, there is a Chinese brand Li Ning who came to me to be the spokesperson, can you do it?"

"Of course! Li Ning is the leading sports brand in China!"

Wu Di is sincerely happy for his good brother.

Turner was also the spokesperson of Li Ning in his previous life, but he signed the contract after being promoted to the starting lineup by the 76ers next year.

This time, because of his guidance, the time to make a debut has been shortened, and the time to get a commercial endorsement has also been shortened.

"Okay! Then I will continue to talk with them. The initial quotation is 800 million US dollars for 4 years, which is not bad... I really have to thank you for talking about it. Their marketing director said that they discovered it because they watched your NCAA game video. I!"

Turner said with emotion that he does not have an agent, and he is much inferior to Wu Di in terms of brand endorsement, but he still got Wu Di's favor and Li Ning's contract.

"Hey, talk about mud drops again!"

Wu Di scolded with a smile: "Is there anything else you want from me?"

Turner: "You guessed it right, can you lead me to an NBA championship in the future? It's a pity that we didn't get a championship in the NCAA!"

Wu Di: "Hey, you really dare to think about it! However, if you can eliminate the Heat in this round of the series, I will give you this season's championship ring!"

Turner: "...don't talk bro, it's 0-2, I feel like we're going to be swept away by the Heat!"

Wu Di: "In fact, you still have hope to win at least one or two games, just like you win the Bulls at the end of the season. Sometimes the game is about willpower, especially in the playoffs. It is too easy for the Heat to win you. You will definitely relax your vigilance in the future, at this time you can stand up and turn the tide..."

Turner: "Speak lightly, brother! Those are the Big Three of the Heat. I have no experience in the playoffs at all. Even if I break my arm, I can't hold it back!"

"But having said that, what medicine did you take to be so fierce! In three playoff games, you can average 30+ per game, which is stronger than James and Rose! Is your rookie wall built up to me?"

Wu Di: "Hehe, didn't I tell you before! There is such a thing as the rookie wall, don't take it seriously!"

"The outside world said that I had no playoff experience in my rookie season. The more I play now, the more I feel like a rookie!"

"A lot of key shots, because you are a rookie, no one will criticize you even if you miss the shot, and everyone is happy if you make the shot..."

Turner: "That's the truth, but it's too difficult to do. Who is not nervous in the playoffs!"

Wu Di: "Learn more from Iguodala, this guy has nothing else, and he will be in the playoffs..."

The two were chatting, when suddenly there was a slap from the ceiling!
The lights in the room went out instantly.

Immediately after—

Whoa - whoa!
The ear-piercing alarm sounded loudly!
"What the hell is going on with you?"

Turner exclaimed, the mobile phone still has a signal, Wu Di's movement is too loud, even he can hear it.

"Looks like a fire alarm..."

Wu Di's eyes widened, he instinctively felt that this matter was not easy!
"OMG, you run up the fire stairs!"

Wu Di went out, and after confirming that all the nearby teammates had come out, he ran from the room on the 21st floor to the ground in one breath.

Downstairs, the street was crowded with disheveled people. After reporting to Turner that he was safe, Wu Di came in front of a group of teammates.

Fortunately, it's not too late now, and many people didn't have time to change their clothes, but there were also some who moved quickly, such as Scott, whose hair was all wet and wearing a bathrobe, looking extremely embarrassed.

"What's the matter? I didn't see the smoke!"

Wu Di frowned and asked, they checked into the Xiunan Hotel directly after the game, and thinking about it now, they might be targeted by some people with malicious intentions.

"We may be whole!"

Scott said angrily. He just asked the hotel staff. There is a high probability that the fire alarm was falsely alarmed, but it will take time to confirm it again...

Everyone was also speechless, having encountered the legendary off-the-board move!
Knicks fans want to use fake fire alarm to screw them up just because the dogs are restless!

But what made them even more speechless was still behind. Many Cavaliers players were accosted by beautiful women.

They also all ran out of the hotel, and their clothes were revealing, and some even only wore underwear...

"Well, it's so cold outside, Pigeon ~ Pigeon, can you lend me some clothes?"

An Asian woman with exquisite makeup asked Wu Di in a clip tone.

She was not tall, and she was only wearing a thin royal blue silk nightdress, revealing a large area of ​​white skin that made people dizzy, and the exposed black lace was just right to help her eyes focus.

As soon as Wu Di heard her voice, he knew that this woman's background was not simple:
"Neon Jindesga? (Islander?)"

"Hi! (Yes!)"

"Don't give me a splash!"

Wu Di replied with the half-baked Japanese that he had learned in the learning expansion.

In fact, whites and blacks don't know how to distinguish between islanders and Chinese, but the Chinese themselves can tell.

This principle is reversed, and white people can also tell whether the other party is Italian or Gallic, and black people can also tell whether the other party is on the West Coast or the East Coast.

"Hmph, not a gentleman at all!"

The island woman saw that Wu Di was not recruited, so she started looking for other Cavaliers players.

Soon, some players couldn't resist the temptation, took off their clothes and handed them to the beauties around them, and started chatting hotly.

"...There is a serial beauty trick?"

Wu Di has gained a lot of knowledge. The fire alarm just now was the first strategy, and the accidental encounter was the second strategy. New Yorkers have really spent their money!

Scott was also speechless, but he had never asked the Cavaliers to restrain themselves before, and now he didn't know how to persuade them.

Scientific research shows that playing poker before a game has different effects on people with different physiques.

Although the phrase "women make your legs weak" in the "Rocky" movie is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but some people play poker more fiercely.

For example, Pi Erye has to play poker four times a day, or he will feel uncomfortable all over. The magician has an ominous number of times, and he has to warm up with the Lakers cheerleaders in the locker room.

But whether it is Pi Erye or a magician, they are all regular hobbies in life, not sudden overeating.

But this trick of the New Yorkers is obviously malicious.

After Wu Di dismissed the island woman just now, several beauties with their own merits came to strike up a conversation, but Wu Di withstood the test.

After playing poker with many beauties in his family, his taste has been spoiled, but others may not be able to handle it.

And it's not difficult to imagine that these beauties came here with a purpose. Seeing how good you are at poker, they will ask you to keep playing. until dawn...

Anyway, in the bloody battle to the end, even if there are billions of Happy Beans, they still have to lose everything.

Let alone Pi Erye, even a magician can't stand it...
