Chapter 296 The Explosive Touch

When Wu Di broke out, it was very difficult for anyone to limit him. Even Wu Di's biggest opponent, James would have difficulty defending him.

The Spurs began to target Wu Di, and the result was that other people kept opening up. Wu Di passed the ball directly, and most of them scored.The Spurs still dare not let go of Wu Di, because once Wu Di is released, Wu Di's shooting percentage will get more points.

This season, Wu Di's shooting rate is as high as 59%, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 51%. Such a shooting rate has to be scary.If it weren't for the joining of Warcraft, Wu Di's rebounds have shrunk significantly, and the MVP of the regular season will still be his, even if the judges sympathize with James, they will not send it to James.

Relying on Wu Di's explosion, the Lakers finally overtook the score at the last moment.Then Wu Di faced Leonard's defense and scored two goals in a row, securing the victory and taking the lead.

In the second battle between the two sides, Wu Di still maintained his fiery touch.The Spurs had to use the Jordan Rules, but they had already double-teamed Wu Di in the last game, so Popovich changed his strategy and fully defended others, using only Leonard to defend Wu Di.

Facing the explosive Wu Di, Leonard didn't act like a super defender at all today. He was constantly being distanced by Wu Di to gain space for shooting.

Leonard is also very depressed in his heart, Wu Di is too difficult to guard against.You can get in, and he will break through. Although Leonard is confident that he can keep up with Wu Di, his strength is much worse than Wu Di, and he can pass him by force.If you want to stay far away, Wu Di will shoot directly. Leonard is not as tall as Wu Di, and his wingspan is not as long as Wu Di. It is very difficult to interfere.

When Leonard felt uncomfortable, Wu Di enjoyed playing. He used all the offensive methods he knew on Leonard.When Leonard was in the draft, the template was Wu Di, and now the real Wu Di came to teach Wu Di of the deck, which also looks very interesting.

Not only did Wu Di feel good today, but his steals also increased a lot.This is mainly due to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin is not in a good state today. He can’t pay attention to Leonard when passing the ball. He was intercepted twice by Leonard in the first quarter. If Wu Di didn’t take advantage of Leonard’s failure to control the ball in time , The counter-robber came back, and it was very difficult for the Lakers to take the lead.

The GDP trio is in very good shape today. Ginobili and Parker are constantly shooting from the outside, and Duncan is also pressing Howard on the inside.

Today, both sides have high shooting percentages and poor rebounds.Wu Di didn't pick up a single rebound in the first quarter, and today the rebounds didn't go outside the penalty area, and he didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, Wu Di's scoring data continued to rise, and he directly scored 36 points in the first quarter.

The score between the two sides in the first quarter was as high as 40:39, and the Lakers barely led by one point.In addition to Wu Di's 36 points, the Lakers had two points from Howard and Alian Liangfeng, all of which were scored by themselves after they grabbed rebounds.

The Spurs' defense made them have no chance to catch the ball at all, so all the ball rights were in Wu Di's hands, which coincided with Wu Di's unlimited shot rights.If other people get so many shots, other people will definitely have a problem.

The score was very close, Wu Di did not end the second quarter, but Leonard ended up taking a rest due to physical exertion.The Spurs replaced Danny Green to defend Wu Di, but Danny Green is shorter than Leonard, and he can't defend Wu Di even more. Wu Di can easily shoot over his head.

In just 5 minutes, almost the entire scene saw Wu Di running, stealing, fast breaking, and shooting three-pointers!Wu Di continued to sprint on both ends of the offense and defense, and finally opened the score. In 5 minutes, Wu Di completed four steals, shot eight three-pointers, hit five, and completed three dunks.

This is still the result of the Spurs' continuous delay of time. If the whole game plays fast breaks, Wu Di can launch three or four more fast breaks, and the point difference will be even greater.

The Lakers led by 15 points, D'Antoni replaced Wu Di and took a rest.

As soon as the Lakers replaced Wu Di, the Spurs replaced GDP, and the three veterans quickly caught up with the score.

Others on the Lakers side felt cold because they had not participated in the offense for a long time. They did not score for 3 minutes, allowing the Spurs to catch up to within 5 points.

D'Antoni felt that he had miscalculated and immediately replaced Wu Di. Now he can only use Wu Di to save the game.

After Wu Di came on the field, he also felt a little cold, and he didn't score any of the first two three-pointers.

This is also related to the adjustment of the Spurs' strategy. The Spurs began to let other people defend. Based on the cold touch of the other Lakers, don't get too close, just let it go short temporarily, and turn around to interfere if Wu Di passes the ball.

Wu Di also saw this, so he didn't choose to pass the ball, but chose to do it himself.

The hand feels a little cold, and Wu Di will get it back.He kept observing the Spurs' passing routes, constantly calculating various possibilities in his mind.

When he saw Parker pass the ball to the inside from a place not far from him, he rushed out immediately, picked up the basketball as soon as he bent down, and then ran to the frontcourt.When it reached the three-point line, Leonard had already chased him. Wu Di didn't make a shot from the outside, but squeezed Leonard away, and then stopped outside the penalty area to shoot!
He has to get his touch back first before he can shoot three-pointers, otherwise he will waste a lot of opportunities relying on three-pointers to find his touch.

The goal was scored, and Wu Di felt that the feeling of shooting came back a lot.

For the next ball, Wu Di will shoot from a further distance.With another shot, Wu Di shot from a further distance.After three mid-range shots, Wu Di finally got his touch back, and then faced Leonard and fired directly from outside the three-point line.

The rest of the Lakers pulled the defensive players far away, and it was a bit difficult for others to come over and double-team.After Wu Di hit two three-pointers in a row, the game finally came to halftime.

The Spurs breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Di was really scary today.However, they didn't know that something even more terrifying was about to happen. During the intermission, Wu Di's data was displayed on the big screen, and everyone was stunned.

Wu Di scored 69 points and 9 steals in the first half. His personal score was almost the same as the overall score of the Spurs. The Spurs scored a total of 70 points in the first half.

Of course, these are not important. What is important is that Wu Di can break Chamberlain's 31-point record with 100 more points.

Popovich realized this, and he immediately deployed players to double-team Wu Di. Even if he lost the game, he couldn't let Wu Di score 100 points.

D'Antoni obviously realized this. He asked others to help Wu Di. Even if he lost the game, he still had to let Wu Di complete a 100-point breakthrough.
