Chapter 68 The Opportunity Comes
The Mavericks have been a frequent visitor to the playoffs these years, because the Mavericks have another good boss.Cuban has always spared no effort in building the Mavericks, and the Mavericks' home games are almost never lost. This is a boss who loves competitive sports very much.

The Mavericks' lineup this year is not luxurious. Recently, Cuban seems to be pursuing a new trading target, as if he has already aimed at a star point guard.Many people speculate that Cuban has targeted Jason Kidd, but he hasn't done it yet.

In the first part of the game, Josh Howard gave Battier a surprise. He played low positions twice in a row, which made Battier feel at a loss.Battier is not a player based on theory. He is better at defending on the outside. He is good at breaking through and shooting, but he is worse at defending against the back.

Adelman thought for a moment, replaced Battier and replaced Hayes.Although Hayes is only 1.98 meters tall, his technical approach is inside.He is very powerful, enough to compete with the "big shark" O'Neill.When Wu Di was fighting in the team, he was afraid of meeting him. His strength was even better than Wu Di.

After Hayes came on the court, he could indeed restrain Josh Howard from playing back.But he was a little shorter than Josh Howard, and Howard couldn't squeeze him, so he turned around and hooked, and Hayes, who was a floor runner, was blinded.

After another few minutes, Adelman had to call timeout again.Originally, the Mavericks would have been difficult to defend with a Nowitzki, but now Josh Howard is showing signs of going crazy.

Dayao and McGrady didn't feel very good this time, and he couldn't even fight against each other if he wanted to.

After thinking for a while, Adelman had no choice but to recruit Wu Di to his side.He doesn't want to reuse Wu Di. Once the Rockets start to rely on Wu Di, Wu Di is likely to become the new core of the Rockets.Wu Di does have such potential. After all, his physical fitness is stronger than James, and he is also smart in playing.

But today he has to use Wu Di, "Wu, you go to defend Josh Howard. When you are on the outside, be careful of his strong play, and be careful of his breakthrough when you are on the outside."

Wu Di felt faintly excited. This was the first time he played in the first quarter.There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that only the main rotation players can play in the first quarter.He has always wanted to get the opportunity to start, maybe this opportunity has come.

Wu Di nodded vigorously and followed the main players to the stage.

Josh Howard is a little proud. He has already beaten two defensive players, and the Rockets have nothing to do with him.Looking at the newly replaced rookie, Josh Howard did not underestimate the enemy. He already knew this rookie. This rookie scored nearly 30 points in the last game, which made the Blazers unable to find their way.

McGrady was also beaten out by the Mavericks, and Josh Howard was defending him.Josh Howard is a comprehensive player, not only the offensive core of the Mavericks outside, but also the defensive core.McGrady never regarded him as a star at his level, only as a defensive player, but today this defensive player scored more points than him, which is unforgivable.

McGrady glanced at Josh Howard provocatively before retreating back to the backcourt.

Josh Howard was a little annoyed. After he joined the NBA, his contribution statistics were not good, but his reputation was still below the top line.In the past, it was because his playing style didn't attract the audience, but he admitted it.But today McGrady was so provocative, he couldn't stand it no matter what.McGrady's scoring average is about the same as him now, why is his reputation better than his own?Why can he be called Jordan's successor?Isn't he the McGrady a few years ago?Why do fans still support him so much, every year the All-Stars are selected, why don't they choose themselves?

Josh Howard was about to pass the ball in the backcourt, and he rushed straight to McGrady, and he must beat him.Josh Howard is not an idiot. He obviously feels overwhelmed today. If he doesn't take advantage of this time to challenge McGrady, when will he do so.

But before he rushed to McGrady, someone stopped him.Josh Howard glanced at the number of the person in front of him, number 6! ?Is it the Rockets' second-round pick?

Do you want to challenge me too?Then I'll let you see how strong an All-Star player is!

Josh Howard wanted to get rid of Wu Di. After several breakthroughs, he found that Wu Di was actually faster than him, and his strength was not weak.Seeing that Josh Howard couldn't get rid of it, he just passed the ball.

Seeing that Josh Howard passed the ball, Wu Di immediately took a step back and formed a zone defense with others, waiting for the Mavericks to attack.

Josh Howard has a very ugly face. He wants to teach the No. 6 rookie a lesson, but he doesn't want to be dismissed by the rookie.

An offensive setback, the Mavericks passed the ball to Nowitzki, Nowitzki shot.

The ball is out of place, and the Rockets basically have the ball in McGrady's hands.After McGrady failed to attack, it was in Dayao's hands.If Dayao doesn't have a chance, it's in Alston's hands.In the current lineup, Wu Di basically can't get the ball.

But Wu Di was also mentally prepared. He came up to restrict Josh Howard.

Josh Howard didn't dribble this time, but went down to the basket, stuck Wu Di with his body, and started asking for the ball.Wu Di and Josh Howard are about the same height and have about the same wingspan.Wu Di withstood Josh Howard's back attack, preventing him from moving a step in.

Josh Howard sat down twice, but he didn't hit a single step, which made him a little annoyed. There are so many monsters coming from the Rockets, and they are all so powerful and scary.

In desperation, Josh Howard had no choice but to use the trick he used to deal with Hayes.After shaking his body, Josh Howard immediately turned around, then took off to hook his hand and threw the ball to the basket.

Wu Di has been waiting for this move for a long time!Hayes is a floor player and doesn't have high bounce, unlike Josh Howard.But Wu Di was not. He jumped up and grabbed the basketball with his big hand.

Grab the hat!

Everyone was shocked, no one thought that Wu Di could jump so high!

Wu Di caught the ball, and most people were still in shock.Wu Di immediately dribbled the ball and wanted to run to the frontcourt. He crossed the center line first, and the other players were one step away from Wu Di the fastest.

Here's your chance!Wu Di's eyes lit up, his speed increased to the fastest, he rushed directly to the free throw line, stepped on the ground with his right foot, rushed up suddenly, bowed his body back, and slammed the basketball into the basket!
