Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 179 Mud can't support the wall!

Although Xiao Hua specifically told Thibodeau not to think too much, how could Thibodeau not think too much.

If conventional means cannot be defeated, special means must be used.

Put your feet up, lock your throat, lift your lungs...

So what if it's dirty, isn't the Pistons bad boy army still crowded with countless bases?
Thibodeau, who was a defensive assistant, still misses the golden age of the NBA when he fought and took the ball.

However, times have changed after all.

It's not that the cripple tactics can't be used anymore, but that cripple is also a difficult technical job now.

Thibodeau has long studied the feasibility of useless tactics, but Wu Di, as a newly rising supernova and a yellow-skinned minority, has long been taken care of by various scumbags.

But whether it's Bucks' Bodogte, Magic's Brandon Bass, or Lakers' Barnes, none of them have ever gotten cheap from Wu Di.

Wu Di's golf quotient is too high, and he has already developed a set of countermeasures against this dirty ratio.

Dirty moves such as footsteps and throat locks are not only difficult to work on him, but will be used by him to guide the referee to call criminals.

For example, in the face of a chokehold, Wu Di will use great force to counter-clamp the opponent's arm, and the referee will not call the criminal, and will not let go...

In this case, no matter how biased the referee is, he would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and be blind.

As a result, the cripple tactic has become giving the opponent a penalty, or even being expelled from the field.

That's why Thibodeau laments that times have changed.

If you want to cripple someone, you have to kill someone with one blow, and you have to do it quietly, otherwise it will be easy to be countered.

In other words, if you want to deal with Wu Di, you can't do it with the skills of miscellaneous fish and cats. You have to send a super giant like Ross.

But useless tactics will seriously affect Chaoju's commercial value.

Although there is no such thing as "letter shoes, dogs don't wear them", Thibodeau still knows it's good.

Even if Rose agrees, Thibodeau has to think twice.

After all, one of the important purposes of competing for the honor of MVP is to increase the commercial value of the star, but in the end, he gets into a show, and the gain outweighs the loss.

What's more, the knight is not a dirty bomb of nuclear weapons without equal countermeasures.

That Patrick Beverley, the free agent suddenly signed by the Cavaliers, with a pair of cold eyes and skin darker than coal, can be seen as an unscrupulous guy.

Such a small person dared to fight the big shark O'Neill before, and the reputation of Dirty has already spread.

Not to mention that their cripple tactics didn't work, Beverly crippled Rose instead...

It is said that the height of one foot is the height of the devil, but don't forget that the height of the law is one foot and the height of the devil is the next sentence.

The intermission time is only 15 minutes, but Thibodeau feels longer than 15 days.

He sat on the bench in the locker room, staring at the Bulls players coming and going.

Some players took advantage of this time to take a shower, some players were eating bananas or other snacks to replenish energy, some players were playing mobile phones and listening to music, some players were chatting and joking with each other, and some players were even holding The bible prays...

Thibodeau was expressionless, but his thoughts were a battle between man and nature.

Dirty or not dirty, that is the question.

Also, can being dirty win?

Will you lose if you don't get dirty?

"Coach, don't worry, we will definitely win this game!"

Rose stepped forward and comforted him with a firm tone. He could see that Thibodeau had something on his mind.

They lost two consecutive away games, and now they are back at home and are behind in the first half. It would be a lie to say that the pressure is not great.

But Rose is still sure to carry the bull on his shoulders and win back:
"Trust me, I feel better than ever today!"

Thibodeau's eyes once again found the focal length, there are disciples like this, what more can a teacher ask for!

Indeed, they are not without hope of winning today, the point difference is only 5 points, and Rose's performance is so brave!

Rose made 14 of 10 shots in the first half and scored 71 points with a 25% shooting rate!
Thibodeau finally decided that the useless tactics should be slow first!
Only 0-2!

The risk is too great!
Anyway, it's definitely not because he just won the best head coach and has the idol burden.

The halftime break is over, and we will return to the court, and the third quarter will start.

The Bulls had the ball, and Rose didn't slow down and change direction violently as soon as he came up. After passing Beverly, he faced Wu Di's defense block and pulled the bar for a layup!
As the basketball smashed into the frame, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

add one!

The United Center arena burst into cheers like a tsunami!

Wu Di shook his head and walked towards the waistline stuck point. He had activated the flying mode just now, and his blocks had been raised to the legendary level of 100.

However, Rose is also a legendary player. After activating the flight mode, his blocks are not 100% effective.

Swish!
Rose made another free throw and the score came to 53-51, only 2 points away!
"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The Chicago fans were red-eyed and shouted for defense like crazy.

Many Cleveland fans don't understand why Chicago fans are so obsessed with winning the Cavaliers, but interviewing any Chicago fan will tell you why.

In the playoffs last season, they were eliminated by Cleveland 1-4 in the first round!

Although the players of the Cavaliers have undergone a major change this season, there are grievances and debts. Originally, Chicago wanted to take advantage of Cleveland's illness to claim his life, but who knew that the Christmas game was attacked by the new Cavaliers king Wu Di in an away game.

Then the regular season ended. In the battle for divisional rankings, the records of the two teams were exactly the same, but because the Cavaliers were better than each other, the Cavaliers’ divisional rankings overwhelmed the Bulls and took the lead in gaining home court advantage...

Now it is 0-2 behind!
And the indifferent attitude of Cleveland fans made Chicago fans even more crazy!
Something like "go 0-4 quickly so we can get revenge on the Heat", something like "sacrifice a bull before the finals and ask the sky for a good omen" and so on.

Made, many of them grew up watching Gang Leader Qiao's games!
So far, the lingering prestige of the Bulls' bloody dynasty is still there. When will it be the turn of little Cleveland to be so presumptuous in Chicago?

Just too arrogant!
As soon as Wu Di came to the top of the arc and received Beverly's pass, Luol Deng rushed over quickly!

He raised his hand lightly, and the realistic shooting fake action lifted the center of gravity of Luol Deng's trick, and then he opened up his horsepower and went straight to the basket!

Bang!
Luoer Deng wanted to stop him, but because his center of gravity was cheated, he couldn't use his strength and was directly knocked away by Wu Di!

As soon as he got rid of British Jordan, Noah stretched out his right arm and quickly defended him.

He made up the defense very early, and he came over before Wu Di could dunk.

To be honest, it is impossible for Noah to defend this position after Wu Di activated it, but there are more than five people fighting on the bull field.

If Wu Di hit hard, Noah would immediately fall backwards, and then the referee would call Wu Di an offensive foul.

day.

Wu Di leaned against his body and raised his wrist, and the basketball caught Noah's body and flew towards Jordan. After receiving the cake, Jordan immediately arched it in!

Ty Gibson failed to block the shot, and the basketball was finally picked by Jordan and put into the basket.

55-51!

Roar!
Jordan roared towards the auditorium, releasing his passion to his heart's content, responding to the boos from the auditorium of the United Center.

To say that the Cavaliers' winning streak in the playoffs is the biggest material incentive for him. In addition to getting a big contract for playing, there is also a playoff bonus.

The main starters of other teams, such as Jamison and Davis, both have an annual salary of over [-] million US dollars, and Love and Wu Di are both first-round lottery picks, with a lot of annual salary.

Only he is the basic salary, the poor group.

The bonus for the first round of the playoffs was about $25, and he shared $2.

The prize money for the division semifinals is about 30 US dollars, and after this round, he will get another 2 US dollars.

After the division finals, the prize money will be more, 50 dollars, he might be able to earn 4 dollars.

This money may be just pocket money to Wu Di and the others, but to him now, it is a huge sum of money in need!
How can I make him not excited?
"A soil turtle!"

Noah spat in a spicy tone, but Little Jordan ignored him at all.

This is the mentality of a winner. Under the winning streak, Jordan felt that he would lose if he said anything to Noah.

He just high-fived Wu Di with his head held high.

That defiant demeanor made Nuoah so angry that his orifices were about to smoke.

In the next offensive round of the Bulls, Wu Di successfully interfered with Luol Deng's shot. The latter missed a three-pointer, but was picked up by Rose to get a rebound.

Rose made some adjustments and made a three-pointer before pulling out!

also!

55-54!

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

United Center Arena, Chicagoans are roaring!

In less than three quarters, Rose has scored 31 points!

This performance is a proper MVP level!
But it was useless, the offense and defense changed positions, Wu Di rushed to the frontcourt of the Cavaliers in a hurry, and repeated the same trick to bring down the belt. Luoer Deng gritted his teeth against his intuition and was not deceived, so he stuck to the defense.

But Wu Di flicked his elbow violently, and the basketball flew into the hands of Love who arrived after him!
Le Fu raised his sword and fell!
With the constant curses coming out of the United Center arena, the Cavaliers scored 3 points!
58-54!

These rounds are the epitome of this section of the game.

Rose's performance was impeccable, but other Bulls players did not continue.

Wu Di played normally, but the other players of the Cavaliers turned into sparks that could start a prairie fire.

The low morale caused by the ugly record has little effect on super giants like Ross and Wu Di, and it can even give Ross another reason to explode.

But the impact on ordinary starters and rotation players is fatal.

And the Cavaliers are not in a normal tailwind situation. They are not two consecutive victories in the playoffs, but six consecutive victories!
Six consecutive victories, they have been timid and unstable at the beginning, and gradually transformed into veterans of the playoffs!

And built up the belief of victory in their hearts!
This feeling of transformation, this belief in winning, made them feel excited and let them enjoy the game!
The cynicism of those reporters, the cursing and abuse of those fans, and even the trash talk that the opponents racked their brains, all became the motivation for them to focus on the game.

In the third quarter, the Bulls once relied on Rose's god-like performance to tie the score, but the Cavaliers directly had four tailwind bureau chiefs!
By the end of the third quarter, the score fell to 77-75, with the Cavaliers leading by two points.

During the break, Thibodeau scolded the Bulls players bloody. He said that today's game is a life-and-death battle for the Bulls in the playoffs, and he must show his determination to fight to the death.
However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wu Di took advantage of Rose's lack of physical strength and suddenly started to explode!
Two three-pointers, two blocks and one block, a wave of familiar plots, directly awakened the traumatic PTSD of Chicago fans.

The score of the two teams was pulled to 83-75 in an instant!

Even though Rose surpassed his physical limit and played 2+1 again to try to stabilize the formation, the other Bulls players were still defeated and demoralized.

In their eyes, today is only G3, and if they lose, G4 can come back.

If other Bulls players have the awareness to regard G3 as a life-and-death battle, then the Bulls will not only be a superstar like Rose.

In the end, Rose scored 46 points throughout the game, setting a new playoff scoring record for himself.

But the score of the two teams was fixed at 108-97, and the Cavaliers were 0-3, taking the lead to get the match point!
吴迪则19投14中，高效砍下36分4篮板16助攻2盖帽的同时，还获得了系统928万美刀的奖励。

In another game later today, there were some similarities. The Lakers led by Kobe lost 92-98 to Dallas, and they also fell behind 0-3 to send the match point.

Sadness began to spread among the bitter brothers of the Los Angeles media and the Chicago media.

"Chicago Danger! There has never been a comeback record after falling behind 0-3 in the NBA playoffs! "

"Since Shengyu He Shengliang!When will Chicago fulfill its ambition of revenge? "

"What Can Save You, Our Los Angeles?" "

"The backyard is on fire, where will the defending champion go this summer?" "

……

"Mud can't support a wall!"

In the early morning of May 5, Xiao Hua slammed the Chicago headlines delivered by the hotel on the glass coffee table of the hotel.

"Ham, Thibodeau, Thibodeau, you're useless if I give you a chance!"

He hugged his shiny bald head, the veins were throbbing wildly on his forehead, and he didn't watch Wu Di play much, so he couldn't understand why Thibodeau hadn't used dirty tricks after listening to his hints.

"Made, could it be that I reminded you late, this guy has no time to hesitate?"

He regretted it so much, he should have told Thibodeau this important news earlier...

At the same time, Wu Di abused veteran cadres in the private court of Jordan's Chicago estate.

If you don't poke the needle, you can still get money for abusing old cadres!

This day, what a beautiful day!
After a bullfight, Wu Di easily earned 120 million US dollars. Adding the 928 million US dollars rewarded yesterday, he made up another 1000 million US dollars!
Then, Wu Di resolutely added his talent points to steals, but just when he wanted to coax the old hooligan to do it again, the old hooligan completely quit.

At the beginning of the season, Jordan could still wrestle with Wu Di, but now he has become Wu Di's living target, and he still plays a ball!
God doesn't want to lose face?
"Okay, stop making trouble, fight with me for one more round, fight for one round with me, and I'll play golf with you, is that all right?"

Wu Di had no choice but to make a concession, and singled out the old hooligan. After earning 130 million dollars, he accompanied the old hooligan to play an 18-hole golf game.

That night, the Heat and the Celtics played Game 3 at the TD North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics are not the Bulls. They really have three super giants. If you add Rondo and O'Neal, there are five super giants.

They all know what G0 means when they are behind 2-3.

They are not the Lakers. Although Rondo has conflicts with Ray Allen, it is far less irreconcilable than Gasol and Shannon Brown's green hat door, and it is not as painful as Odom's eight-year-old honest man who wakes up. Heartfelt.

Their only enemy is Pig Rivers.

Brother Zhu worked hard again in the first half, and after some manipulations, he successfully made the Green Army, who was looking at death at home, fall behind 46-44.

If Rondo hadn't defended sharpshooter Mike Bibby to 4 for 0 shots, and Ray Allen had defended James Jones as 4 for 1 shots, the Celtics would have been beaten.

In the third quarter, Rondo couldn't stand it any longer, turned himself into Ron's guide, pushed the pig's head to the pigsty, grabbed the tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

The effect was almost immediate, and the Celtics played a 0-7 spurt as soon as they played.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had reached 61-72, and the Celtics led by 11 points!
In the fourth quarter, the Celtics continued their efforts and started another wave of 2-9. The score came directly to 63-81, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the game was fixed at 81-97, the series score became 1-2, and the Celtics took a little breath.

In another game, the Thunder lost to the Grizzlies on the road, falling behind by a big score of 1-2.

The young master made 22 of 7 shots and established the team's shooting percentage in one fell swoop. Durant made 7 of 2 three-pointers and was in a very average state.

Of course, the blame still has to be thrown to Brother Deng.

Brother Deng's acting skills are sometimes ineffective, and he only got 3 free throws in this game. I don't know whether to pay tribute to G3's 3, or to pay tribute to the third young man's three.

In contrast to the Grizzlies, five of the team scored in double figures, four of whom scored 15, and Randolph even picked up an astonishing 21 rebounds!
It seems that the Memphis people are determined to recapture the goddess Megan Fox!
