Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 174 The hometown team is growing rapidly

Jordan once again stood at the free throw line.

Bang!
With the sighs of the audience, Jordan's first free throw hit the iron again.

He high-fives Wu Di and Jamison with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, Wu Di laughed and joked:
"Don't worry, you're going to screw it up anyway!"

Little Jordan's face flushed immediately:

"Oh, don't be such a boss!"

But he was not so nervous when Wu Di told him what he was most worried about.

He slaps the basketball twice, then throws again—

Swish!
Two free throws hit!

Still hollow!

81-78!

"Yes!"

Little Jordan made a fist gesture, and he finally regained a little touch!
If he can continue this feeling when he is cut in the next round, he will no longer be a war criminal!
"FXXK, go back and defend the position!"

On the sidelines, Scott roared in a rare way. He just hit one of two free throws. In addition to the previous missed two free throws, he only made one of four free throws. He was celebrating just like that. Did Grant laugh angrily without watching the sidelines?
Little Jordan shrank his neck. He had heard about Scott and Wu Di helping him win a big contract. Knowing that his performance was related to the face-to-face battle between the two sides, he quickly turned back to defend.

The Bulls' defense was very urgent, and the offense was even more urgent. Rose quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Beverly failed to steal and was instantly left behind.

But this time, Wu Di had already ambushed on his route, almost the next second after his breakthrough was completed, he succeeded in making up for it!
Ross immediately put on the pain mask. Originally, Wu Di was carrying the basket and his strength would be weakened, but the gap between his strength and Wu Di's is too great!
He gritted his teeth and took a step forward, but his strength was like a mud cow falling into the sea, completely dispelled by Wu Di...

He stopped, and the basket that was close at hand instantly became the furthest distance in the world!
What's more dangerous is that Beverly also double-teamed. In an emergency, Rose turned half and half, found Luol Deng who was empty in the bottom corner, and raised his elbow!
Wu Di and Jamison were tricked into shifting their center of gravity at the same time, but Rose suddenly flipped his elbow and passed it to Boozer!
Boozer took a step to move laterally to near the three-point line, and made a long two-point jumper!

Jordan got stuck on the rebound ahead of time, but the basketball passed through the net!

The Cavaliers' offense has stagnated, but the Bulls' touch is up!

83-78!

beep!
Scott had to call a timeout.

There are more than 4 minutes left in the time, so being cut off like this is not an option, even if a dead horse is a living horse doctor, Love has to replace Jordan on the field!
"Huh? But the coach... I'm in a bad state today..."

Love is so anxious that his lack of self-confidence is exposed at this time.

He was traded by the Timberwolves in the middle of the season, and the outside world said that he was the one eliminated in the competition for the new Wolves king.

When he came to the Cavaliers, although he won and lost with Jordan in the team competition, Jordan was completely suppressed by him from middle school to college to the NBA!
Coupled with the presence of an old man on the team with a relatively high status like Jamison, Love can't find his place in the Cavaliers...

The only better situation is that Wu Di, as the boss of the team, has a good relationship with him.

But as a third-year player who has just turned into a regular starter for the team and has never played in the playoffs before, Love has gradually lost his mentality since he played.

During the previous regular season, the team assigned him a weight loss task. Due to his personal habits, he liked to eat when he was under a lot of pressure, which resulted in very poor completion progress.

As a result, in the playoffs, he really became the Cavaliers' biggest defensive loophole because of his slow pace...

He had a hard time defending Stoudemire in the last round, and now he is defending Boozer with more comprehensive defense skills, and he will soon defend Bosh the Dragon King!

How could Love not explode?

他今天6投1中仅拿下5分，篮板更是只抢下了4个，罚球也只有5罚2中……

Now that Scott lets him play, he is really completely withered...

How dare you say that you can't do it!

This is not over yet, after Le Fu finished speaking, he even covered his face with a towel!
Judging by the way his shoulders twitched, he should be crying...

"Oh my god!"

"My God, how do you..."

"Tsk, isn't it..."

"Brother, at this time, can't you act like a man?"

"Damn, what a shame!"

……

In an instant, the teammates began to accuse him in a hurry!

To be honest, Love's reaction was indeed too embarrassing. He was beaten to tears in G1 at home!
The key is that the Cavaliers are not far behind by many points!
Le Fu also knew that he should never cry at this time, but now he couldn't control his emotions at all.

Le Fu grew up in a wealthy family, handsome, and never experienced Sicong's sad past of licking dogs. His world was better protected by his former NBA player father. He only had basketball since he was a child. I have harmed some girls, so I have not suffered any setbacks.

God is fair. Under such a growth environment, Lefu's ability to withstand setbacks is relatively poor, which is the so-called low adverse quotient.

The NBA is the highest level of sports league in the basketball world. Even Jordan was beaten and cried in the first few years of his career. Experiencing setbacks is just a common occurrence for players, but it also directly caused Love to get an upgraded version of anxiety. Panic Disorder.

There are different symptoms during a panic attack. In addition to crying uncontrollably, the heart may even beat wildly and you cannot breathe. In severe cases, it may even be life-threatening.

Unlike his teammates, Wu Di, as a fan of the two generations, happened to know Love's mental illness because he exposed it to the public in 18 years.

This mental illness is still quite tormenting. Le Fu is less than 35 years old, and his hair is all gray. It is obvious that he has been tortured by this illness.

So instead of blaming Love like other teammates, he held his head and held him in his arms.

"Ah this..."

Seeing Wu Di like this, the teammates all showed surprised expressions.

Cavaliers, who is the toughest man, Wu Di said the second, no one dared to say the first.

A freshman rookie, led a reorganized motleyball team from the bottom one predicted by the media, all the way to the second place in the division!
I also experienced two injuries in the middle, but I still reluctantly made an early comeback for the team!

The average playing time of the season is close to 40 minutes, the season is tied once, the lore is twice, the youngest regular season scoring champion, the double champion of the three-pointer contest and the slam dunk contest, the league gates Gasol and Howard dare to block, Let Gasol and Howard be the background boards for dunks...

Was selected as the best rookie of the season, but received criticism that he shouldn't have to bear, but he still survived, and with his strong bones, he proved himself in the first round of the playoffs!
The setbacks that Love suffered cannot be compared with what happened to Wu Di. As the boss of the team, Wu Di is fully qualified to go up and remove the towel covering his face, and then slap him twice to wake him up!

But Wu Di gave him a big hug...

At this moment, the tough tenderness shown by Wu Di moved all the Cavaliers players present!
Little Jordan even looked at Love with jealousy:

"Made, the boss has never hugged me like this!"

Scott was also quite surprised, but as a well-informed coach, he quickly reacted:

"What are you doing in a daze! We are a team! Love needs our support now, go up and hug!"

After speaking, he took the lead and hugged Wu Di Lefu.

Seeing this, the other players also stepped forward and hugged together.

Davis, whose right hand was bandaged, hesitated, but quickly gritted his teeth and hugged him.

At the moment of embracing, everyone suddenly felt lighter, or in other words, the burden on their shoulders that made them breathless became lighter.

In fact, they can feel the panic of Love. He really wants to contribute to the team, but today his state is really mediocre...

Because why not?

DeAndre Jordan's free throw slows down...

Davis just wanted to make a show, but he was injured...

Jamison was average from start to finish...

Parker's role on the court is limited...

Beverly can't guard Rose at all...

However, they are a team, they are not fighting alone!
No matter how hard it is, how tired and how difficult it is to endure, there are brothers to carry it together!

At this moment, they no longer blame each other, but accept their own imperfections, and their cohesion has reached a new height!
Love cheered up from the panic attack. He felt that he was rescued by Wu Di and his teammates. He was temporarily relieved from the sea of ​​suffering. He nodded firmly to Scott, and he wanted to play!
"Prosperity and glory!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Wu Di shouted.

"One loss and one loss!"

Cavaliers players responded in unison!
"our target is--"

"Go get a real championship!"

I don't know where it started, but there was thunderous applause in the Quicken Loans Arena!
The playoffs are raging, and their hometown team is growing rapidly!
Could there be a more inspiring and uplifting experience than this?

"Oh, this is incredible, it's wonderful... Oh, I'm at a loss for words, Larry, let me tell you a few words..."

Tate said with red eyes, damn it, he is over 70, and he never thought he would have the opportunity to watch such a hot show.

"I don't know, old Tate, we're not getting any younger, oh god, please make me 30 or [-] years younger, let me join these lads! I want to experience it myself The taste of the brothers holding up the championship trophy..."

Larry Nance said with great emotion that once, he was also a well-known figure, a three-time All-Star, and the champion of the first slam dunk contest in history, but he was missing such a group of brothers and a championship trophy...

On the other side of the court, the Bulls players were angry for no reason.

I just saw Love sobbing on the big screen, they were just gloating.

In the first game of the series, the opponent's main power forward was directly beaten to tears in the away game, what an air!

Especially Noah and Boozer, these two people, one of them is naturally at odds with Cleveland, and the nickname of "reverse bone boy" was given by the people of Cleveland.

"I'm so touched! It's just inexplicable!"

Noah is going crazy:
"Forget it, people of Cleveland! Your focus should be on me! I'm the one who got your main point guard injured!"

Boozer is even more resentful than Noah!

He was partnered with Lao Zhan back then, and Lao Zhan overused his possession of the ball. He complained to the team, but did not receive any effect. He turned to the team angrily, but he still got the infamy of "anti-bone boy" , Since then, he has felt from the bottom of his heart that Cleveland people are very narrow-minded.

But now the same group of people are so tolerant of Le Fu?
"Made, we still lead by 5 points, play Nima!"

"It's so fake, a group of double-standard dogs..."

Boozer's thoughts are faster than his shots!
After a timeout, the Cavaliers attacked, but Wu Di had just received Beverly's serve, but the referee blew his whistle again...

Boozer fouled Love!
"Carlos what the hell are you doing?"

Let alone the auditorium this time, even Thibodeau was so angry that he cursed!
He has exhausted all his tricks, and finally accumulated a 5-point lead at the last moment of the game. Love has averaged 85% of his free throws this season. Isn't Boozer doing this in disguise? Cavaliers to send points and save time chasing points?
"Coach, don't worry! I know Love's free throw percentage is high, but today is different! Love is just a cover for the Cavaliers!"

Boozer smugly said, Love's free throw percentage today is only 40%, and after just such a shot, maybe it will be even worse!
And at this time, Jordan was off the court, Love missed the shot, and he and Noah cooperated to grab the rebound, which was not difficult at all.

Thibodeau frowned, crossed his arms, and was noncommittal to Boozer's words.

Boozer couldn't see it. As a coach, he has been very keenly aware of the changes in the morale of the Cavaliers.

After Wu Di's treatment, Le Fu may have recovered...

"Alright, use this free throw to verify..."

Thibodeau murmured.

With everyone watching, Love walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath and shot!
Swish!
Hollow hit!

Quicken Loans Arena burst into cheers instantly!
Le Fu excitedly gave Wu Di a high-five, came back, feeling back!
"Crybaby, if you miss the penalty, go home and cry!"

Noah spat out trash talk.

But it was useless, the second free throw, and made a steady hit again!
83-80!

The full state of Le Fu Eros is back!

The cheers of the Quicken Loans Arena lasted for a long time!
There are still 4 minutes, only 3 points difference!

Wu Di can definitely lead the team to catch up!
Thibodeau slapped his forehead, sure enough, bad talent!
"Carlos, you are so smart!"

Boozer scolded himself with a deflated face, but this was not over yet, Wu Di stood in front of him.

He switched defenses with Jamison, and he wants to deal with this smart rebellious boy!
However, when Boozer saw this, he was not angry but happy, and the opportunity to prove him again has come!

Wu Di is just a swingman in position 2/3, but he is a pure position 4!

He has a crushing advantage over Wu Di in terms of tonnage!
He pressed Wu Di in the high position of the elbow area and demanded the ball strongly, and then took advantage of the situation to start a back hit against Wu Di.

After Wu Di confronted him for a while, he pretended to be unable to bear it and backed away again and again.

When Boozer saw this, the corners of his mouth rose wildly, thinking that Wu Di was nothing more than that, he immediately stood up and wanted to pursue the victory!
However, the moment he jumped up, Wu Di suddenly tore off his camouflage, and a big hand came towards him, locking all the directions of his shots!
Bang!
The basketball was directly covered on Boozer's face by Wu Di!

Then it bounced back into Wu Di's hands!

"Hey! Boozer's face is covered in the shape of a ball!"

With the cheers of the audience, Larry Nance taunted.

"It's what it deserves! This is what the anti-bone boy deserves!"

Tate said excitedly.

Only 3 points away, Wu Di has the ball, but he is not in a hurry to chase the three-pointer.

He didn't feel good in the fourth quarter, but the ball had to be tied, so he had to wait for Love and Jamison to finish, just in case.

　It has passed 700 average, thank you readers for your support, and I am going to add more!
