Basketball: The Chosen Victim

boom!
The sound of a bursting engine came from a distance, and the reporters and fans squatting outside the Quicken Loans Arena immediately trotted all the way to the entrance of the player parking lot of the Quicken Loans Arena.

As soon as they set up the camera, a black, white and red Pagani Zonda drove into the car park with a Brabus Big G. It was Wu Di who brought the bodyguard team to participate in the opening game of the playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Magic at night. .

"Oi Xie Te, this car is too handsome!"

There was an instant commotion among the crowd:
"This engine must have at least 12 cylinders, right? My brain is buzzing!"

"The emperor changed to a supercar again! My God, how many cars have you changed this season? I think there are no fewer than 20? And one is more handsome than the other! Today is the Pagani Zonda F again. Isn't this car discontinued? Why did the emperor get another one?"

"I just saw that you haven't paid attention to the car news. This car was produced by Mr. Pagani to re-open the production line for Wu Di. It is called the last Zonda, and the collection value is overwhelming!"

"Great gift crab! I heard that the starting price of the Son of Wind is more than 200 million dollars. Can't the price of this last one be doubled?"

"I don't know, anyway, considering his worth, it's easier to switch to a supercar than to eat a hamburger..."

"Madfak, it's nice to have money..."

Wu Di pulled down the car window and made a three-point gesture towards the camera group, which was immediately rewarded with applause:
"The emperor greeted me! Yoho!"

"Emperor, how many points do you want to score today?"

"MVP, how's your status today..."

Wu Di parked the car in his exclusive parking space at will. Since Instagram was acquired, the system rewards for each game in the regular season have become his pocket money.

He doesn't have any special hobbies, just collecting supercars, and the money rewarded for a game is more than enough to buy a supercar, so this season his garage has begun to fill up.

This Zonda was customized by him with the rewards from last year's Christmas War, and it also has a special nameplate from last year's Christmas War.

Relatively speaking, playing supercars in the United States is a cost-effective hobby. For example, this Zonda car costs 2500 million RMB to start in China, but it only costs 210 million dollars in the United States. The price is almost broken.

In that game at that time, he scored 46 points in honor of his number, plus assists, rebounds and win coefficient, it came down to 244 million dollars, more than enough to buy the Son of the Wind.

In addition, restarting the production line sounds exaggerated, but Pagani is all produced by hand and does not require much effort. This "Last Zonda" is mainly due to the favor of Mr. Pagani.

"We don't just make supercars, we make 'Una Macchina con Anima'!"

Father Pagani said a bunch of Italian to him at the time, to the effect of "a car with a soul".

I don’t know if there is a soul. It’s true that the rate of turning heads is off the table. It’s so handsome. Although the Zonda is a Hyper Car that was mass-produced in 1999, its unique shape and the unique sound of the V12 engine are simply better than old cigars. Hi!
Wu Di spent tens of millions of dollars intermittently to order four successor models of Typhoon Son, that is, Pagani Fengshen, one in black and silver, one in purple, one in midnight blue, and one in white and red. While receiving favors, he was also promoted to Pagani Super VIP.

"Choosing conservative treatment is the stupidest decision in Dwight's life. Taking this risk for a result that cannot be changed at all, I really don't know what he thinks..."

At the end of the player tunnel, Jordan Jr. in a black and red Tang suit was taunting Howard to the reporters.

He himself rarely attacks others, but during this year's All-Star, Howard mocked him in front of the reporters for only scoring 2 points in the All-Star, and the rift between the two ended.

"You mean, Howard's lumbar disc herniation should be directly reimbursed for the season for treatment, instead of dragging on to continue playing in the playoffs? But he said that if he can eliminate you, he will continue to stay in the Magic..."

The reporters became interested after hearing the words, and asked more inducing questions to dig out more revelations, but a burst of noise suddenly came from the other side of the player tunnel!
"Wu Di is here!"

I don't know who yelled, the reporters immediately left Jordan behind, no, Jordan ran faster than the reporters, and stretched out his hand to greet him:

"Wow, boss! Is this a new high-end product from Versace? It's so handsome!"

Wu Di is wearing a white silk suit with a Chinese collar today, stepping on the playoff color scheme just released by the Invincible Generation, his aura is so coquettish!

"It's already an All-Star, can you stop making such a fuss?"

Wu Di calmly clapped Jordan's hands, and then the two walked through the crowd to the field under the flashlight.

On the court, after some warm-ups and interviews, the two teams ushered in a rare gap. Often at this time, players from both sides will meet and greet each other, or release harsh words.

"Hey, little yellow man, why don't you come over?"

Howard came to the center line and saw Wu Di having a happy conversation with a certain beautiful reporter, and said angrily.

"What are you yelling about, a muscular guy with a simple mind and well-developed limbs! Just come to me if you have any questions, don't delay our boss to pick up girls!"

Little Jordan slowly stepped forward and reprimanded.

Although Under Armour's reputation in the media circle is far inferior to that of Nike Adidas, Wu Di's reputation this season is quite good because of Wu Di's frequent face-lifting in front of reporters. Otherwise, he would not have topped the MVP rankings.

This is still very important, people's words are formidable, and the media's publicity can not only affect the attitude of fans, but also affect the state of teammates!
Who doesn't want their team leader to be a pot-slinging man called out by everyone, right?

Howard's back molars were sore for a while, but he didn't answer, but spat heavily, turned and left.

He felt that Jordan was not worthy of talking harshly to him!

Although Jr. Jordan has been promoted to an All-Star center this season, this guy is just an All-Star substitute relying on Wu Di's voice. He is no different from a clown, and he is far from his status as a five-time All-Star starter. !

And he is not an ordinary All-Star starter, he is a single replacement for James!
Cough!

Wait, wait, after last season, he even felt that James could no longer replace him alone!
"Hey, big muscle stick, we prepared a dance for you during the intermission, remember to enjoy it!"

Little Jordan saw him leave, and yelled with his hands in the shape of a big trumpet.

"A dance specially prepared for me?"

Howard thought it was fun at first. After all, he also likes to dance, but after thinking about it, no, these words came out of the mouth of that brat, Jordan, how can there be good things!
Thinking of this, his eyelids sank and he quickened his pace.

This season, Howard is particularly upset, not only because of a protruding disc in his waist, but also resentment that his attention has been poached.

He should be the All-Star vote king!

His number of votes is far ahead of James, Kobe and others, but he is far surpassed by Wu Di, which is unreasonable!
What made him even more distressed was that his agent told him that few playoff teams were willing to take him, and the Los Angeles Lakers he wanted to go to had nowhere to be heard...

This makes him very passive. Although he hasn't made up his mind about whether he wants to trade or not, it's one thing to think about it, and another thing to have a choice!

The reason is nothing more than the fact that James did not even make it to the Eastern Conference finals last year. The group effect has been widely suspected by the outside world. Critics said that because of the dispersion of the ball, the super giants can easily produce 1+1<2 results, etc. In short, grouping together is not worth the candle for the team and the stars...

And James did not make it out of the Eastern Conference Finals, so Wu Di is naturally to blame!
"Damn it, I don't even have to hug you if I want to! I have to blow you up today!"

Howard shook his head, putting aside the offseason, now he has a chance to kill his enemies!

He must firmly grasp that if he can eliminate the Cavaliers, he can also prove his ability to lead the team to the outside world!

Soon, the appearance ceremony passed by in a flash. The only difference from the past was the addition of a flame spray column, and the knight's DJ yelled a few more words when introducing Irving who was the first to appear on the stage, boasting that the knight had won twice in a row A record for the Rookie of the Year award.

However, this made Howard even more angry. He was the No. 04 pick in [-], but in the competition for the best rookie of the year, he lost to Emeka Okafor of the Bobcats.

"Hey, the most rubbish award has the face to talk about it!"

Howard crossed his hips and finished cursing, then walked to the middle circle to prepare to jump the ball with Jordan.

"CCTV, CCTV, good morning, viewers, you are watching the opening game of the 2011-2012 season where the Cavaliers vs. Magic at home!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Yu Jia quickly explained:

"Okay, from the big screen, the starting lineups on both sides are, Magic, point guard Jameer Nelson, shooting guard Jason Richardson, small forward Ryan Anderson, power forward Hedo Turkog Rue, center Dwight Howard."

"For the Cavaliers, point guard Kyrie Irving, shooting guard Wu Di, small forward Antawn Jamison, power forward Kevin Love, center DeAndre Jordan!"

Yang Yi on the side answered:
"Jamison, the hero who led the Cavaliers out of the Eastern Conference finals last season, is starting again. The Cavaliers are doing the right thing. There is no problem in the regular season. To play in the playoffs, you must have an experienced veteran!"

Zhang Weiping on the other side nodded and added:
"There is also the issue of height. On the Magic side, except for Warcraft Howard, Anderson and Turkoglu are both 2 meters long, and they are both masters of the basket. Their height advantage is very large compared to the Cavaliers. Obviously, having Jamison in the starting line-up would take some of the pressure off of that..."

"Jumping the ball, Howard easily patted the ball into Nelson's hands. Jordan is tall enough, but whether it is bounce or reaction speed, he is far behind World of Warcraft!"

"Yes, although Jordan was selected as an All-Star this season, the gap between him and Howard can be seen from the jump ball just now, and he is still in the light of Wu Di's teammates..."

"Nelson quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, hey, knocked Owen away! He is much stronger than Irving!"

"Nelson went straight to the basket, Wu Di made it up, Nelson made a throw, no, Warcraft jumped up, alley oop! My God, dunked in through Jordan! It's really unreasonable! It's hard to imagine Howard still There is a lumbar disc herniation..."

On the court, Howard was roaring to the sky towards the boos of the auditorium——

"Dominance, what is dominance!"

Little Jordan gritted his teeth angrily:
"What are you being arrogant about, I almost covered you just now!"

Howard looked at him with contempt:
"Even if you are the real Jordan, don't try to touch my ball!!"

……

The two yelled at each other, and the atmosphere on the point guard's side was quite unfavorable for the Cavaliers.

Nelson spouted all kinds of trash talk at Irving, trying to influence the mentality of this rookie player, but Irving really suffered from lack of experience. This is his first playoff game, and he has not yet realized the playoffs. Strategies, I was distracted by Nelson's trash talk!
Seeing that he was distracted, Nelson began to make small movements in his hands, which made Owen even more uneasy...

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Di acted decisively and came over to help Owen pick and roll to signal for the thugs to hand over. However, Owen was a bit over the top, using Wu Di's pick and roll to pass Nelson, and then directly rushed into the inside with his head down!
But just as he was about to complete the hook layup, a big black hand slammed over!

呲!
A piercing sound sounded, it was Howard's grabbing hat!

Howard directly grabbed the basketball flying to the basket in his hands!

The audience sucked in a breath of cold air instantly, and even the old Tate on the commentary stand exclaimed, "This is simply too cruel!"

Owen quickly realized that he wanted to steal the ball in embarrassment, but was elbowed away by Howard, and then passed Nelson long!

Nelson ran forward after receiving the ball, but his speed was mediocre, and he was stopped by Wu Di at the center line!
"what!"

Nelson immediately put on a pain mask and let out a miserable cry, but the referee didn't blow it. Just now, Wu Di's position did not cause a blocking foul, and Nelson took the initiative to bump into it to fight.

Wu Di had sharp eyes and quick hands. Taking advantage of Nelson's adjustment of the neutral position of his body, he directly dunked the ball with his middle finger and ring finger!

Just pay directly!
Nelson felt his hands go cold, and his ball was gone!
Only Wu Di's disdainful expression remained!

Wu Di’s left ball protector caught Nelson and easily pulled out from the center line to the flank. Although Nelson was once selected as an All-Star, his ability to control movement relies on his short and strong physical fitness. It is okay to deal with Irving. I want to use it on him. , He really wanted to explain to Nelson what it means to "shake the big tree"!
Nelson suffered a big loss and wanted to retaliate immediately, but was stopped by the yelling Magic coach Stan Van Gundy from the sidelines, so he had to go back to Irving and give up the defensive position to Richardson.

Wu Di signaled to pull away. Richardson is a spring-shaped wing with a very explosive physical fitness. He was a two-time slam dunk champion, but his lateral movement speed is very slow and his defense is quite average.

Stan Van Gundy asked this guy to defend Wu Di, obviously he was mentally prepared for a "prayer" defense.

Yes, prayer defense is currently a popular defensive method against Wu Di in the NBA. It has another name, bad defense! (end of this chapter)
