633: Ah Tang's Self-esteem, 58 Cannon's Ambition (4.2K(1/2)
"Wayne, how much impact will Wesley's injury have on the team?"
"The Miami Herald says your legendary season has ended prematurely. What do you think?"
"Losing two starting wings in one week, what does that mean for the team?"
January 2, 2013, Toronto.
As soon as Wayne stepped off the team bus, he was surrounded by reporters.
He wore sunglasses and didn't talk much to reporters.
"Miami Herald", the name sounds like a villain newspaper.
Of course, this newspaper is just riding on the popularity.
Because at this time, there are many fans who feel that the Blazers are dying.
The Trail Blazers, who had a tidy lineup, only beat Miami by 5 points. With two starting Blazers missing, losing to Miami by 10 points was not too much!
This is the fact.
Those who didn't want to see Wayne completely dominate the league, even the Dragon-Slaying Warriors who had been waiting for a long time did not wait.
As a result, the evil dragon fell down and became half disabled.
But regardless of whether the dragon was crippled by the warrior or felled by himself, he was crippled anyway.
Once the dragon is destroyed, the Miami Heat will have a chance to make a profit!
After Wayne, Tang got off the bus.
He was wearing a white Anta short-sleeved shirt and a Chinese-style straw hat.
He is worthy of being the most conscientious spokesperson, and his outfit is more down-to-earth than Wayne's.
As soon as Tom got out of the car, the reporters immediately changed their targets and flashed their flashlights at him.
Of course, the reporters were not attracted by his fashionable dress, but they were frantically putting pressure on this dribbling genius who had not yet passed his rookie period.
"Klay, will you start today's game against the Raptors?"
"Thompson, after the team loses Tony and Matthews, you will get a lot of opportunities. Are you ready for this?"
The reporters' questions made Thompson a little flustered. If Wayne just didn't bother to pay attention to the reporters and walked away leisurely, then Clay fled in a hurry.
Thompson has not received much attention since joining the team.
Although he showed his ghostly dribbling skills on the court more than once, the media and fans mostly just laughed it off.
It's really the first time that I've been pushed to the forefront and been pushed into the spotlight like this.
After entering the locker room, everyone was taking time to change clothes.
Today's opponent, the Raptors, is not a strong team. Their current record is 11 wins and 20 losses. Compared with the Trail Blazers' 29 wins and 1 loss, it's like heaven and earth.
However, since the Trail Blazers lost two starters today, everyone is looking forward to this game.
Everyone wants to see if the Blazers' legendary season is really going to end so early.
You know, the Raptors do not lack talent. Kyle Lowry and Paul George, the garbage brothers, have begun to make a name for themselves in the league.
After the former moved to Toronto from Space City, he immediately secured his starting position.
As a heavy defender, his powerful breakthrough ability has earned him the reputation of a small steel cannon.
And Pickle Pepper is even more impressive. In his third year, he averaged 19.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
He is already an embryonic star who can combine both offense and defense. He is regarded as a candidate for the next generation of King of the North and has a strong sense of presence.
Therefore, the Raptors are not without conditions for an upset.
Moreover, the Raptors have been in better shape recently. Although their record of 11 wins and 20 losses seems quite poor, that is because Lowry was absent due to injury at the beginning of the season.
Since Lowry returned in mid-December and the Garbage Brothers reunited, the Raptors' record is 8 games and 7 wins!
That's right, they have lost one game in the past half month.
Therefore, just looking at the record may not accurately represent the strength of the Raptors.
Wayne was unexpectedly very serious today. Usually when fighting this kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, Wayne always comes with the mentality of a health bureau.
Go up and play casually, get 20 points, and then hang up after get off work for three quarters.
But today is different. Because of public opinion issues, Wayne must win beautifully to shut everyone up.
The words "the great season will end early" are really disgusting.
Today, when the players from both sides were warming up on the court, their opponents were dunking a few times.
It frightened Thompson, who was about to start.
To be honest, it doesn't matter if you are defeated by a super giant.
It would be embarrassing if this horse was fucked by a young star!
Pickle is really excited today. Tony is not here, Matthews is not here, and the Blazers directly gave up an entire wing.
This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!
Although Toronto is not a small ball market, playing in this area does not attract much attention.
Although Paojiao has averaged nearly 20 points per game this season, few people know him.
Therefore, he needs a chance to become famous.
If I can defeat the Trail Blazers, there is no doubt that fans all over the world will remember my name as Pickled Pepper!
I will become a man who has a strong presence and can be found everywhere!
Paojiao was full of energy and wanted to have a good fight, and that's exactly what he did after the game started.
As soon as he came up, Paojiao held the ball and made a pull-up jumper from mid-range to beat Thompson.
During this period, Paojiao had a common problem with Du Xiaoshuai. Because he was too tall, his center of gravity couldn't be lowered when holding the ball, and his offense with the ball was flawed.
It's okay to beat ordinary people, but if you encounter a defensive gate like Tony or Wayne, you can be cut off until you shut down.
In Wayne's previous life, Pickled Pepper also solved this problem, and his overall strength immediately improved to a higher level.
As for Thompson's defense, although he managed to keep his position, he did not give Pickle enough confrontation.
A minute later, Curry passed the ball to Thompson. As soon as Thompson received it, Pickle's long arm reached out and directly stole the ball.
After getting the ball, Jiao Di immediately ejected and sprinted towards the frontcourt.
Tom was chasing after him, but he had no choice but to catch up!
This is Brother Chiao who has never had a broken leg.
So, with no one on guard, Paojiao performed a 360° turnaround dunk, which shocked everyone!
Tom rolled his eyes like a Buddha again, "Huh, you're so cute, you're just showing off a dunk. Do you know what's going on with you?"
Believe it or not, I call you Curry!
"Stephen, I think you have no problem with that kind of dunk just now, right? Come on, perform one for that kid to see!"
The aggrieved Atang walked to Curry and said this.
"Uh...that's the question. I can definitely deduct it, but you know me. I'm not that arrogant. Let's do it this way. Next time, next time!"
After the primary school student finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.
Damn, don't let George hear what you're saying, or you'll be in trouble if you get detained later!
It can be seen that Jiao Di's performance today is indeed quite active.
Ran goose, show off dunk, show off dunk.
In this game, Wei Ge has to teach him how to play.
Wayne was not polite to the Raptors today. He combined with sudden shots in the first quarter and scored 11 points.
On the Raptors side, American player Ed Davis has absolutely no way to take down Wayne.
Although Ed Davis is an outstanding blue-collar player who dares to fight hard, he is definitely far from being able to lock down the super giants.
In the second quarter, Wayne was even more brutal. From the beginning, he repeatedly trained Davis and completed a breakthrough dunk.
And in the eighth minute of the second quarter, Klay Thompson finally took advantage of Wei Ge to vent his anger.
In that offense, Lowry's throw hit the neck of the basket, and Wei Ge grabbed the rebound vigorously.
When collecting the ball in the air, they all hit the basketball with a "bang" sound.
Then Wayne immediately hit the ball to Curry, but Lowry quickly blocked Curry's path with his strong body.
I have to say that Lowry is indeed experienced.
Curry didn't want to waste this opportunity to counterattack, but he couldn't hit the cannon.
So, he threw the ball to Tom who came in from the right wing.
When Thompson got the ball, he was already outside the three-point line.
