Immediately after the game ended, all members of the Heat gathered around Woody and excitedly celebrated the victory.
It is not easy to win against the Pacers.
It is also a very morale-boosting thing.
Now something like this happened at the end of the game.
It made them feel even more happy to win this game!
The Pacers' players were in stark contrast.
The Pacers only scored 1 point in the last 2 minutes.
Artest's departure is one thing.
Before he left the field, he knocked Woody down with a push, and then he didn't counterattack at all, and retreated with his tail between his legs. This was also an important reason for damaging their morale.
The Pacers never expected that Artest, who was the first to stir up trouble, would be the first to give in!
this……
Could it be that Woody's push directly triggered Artest's "Cowardly Lizard" passive?
When O'Neal left the game, he covered his face with a towel.
I dare not look at anyone at all!
Although this didn't happen to him, and he and Artest still haven't dealt with each other, the problem is...
Who asked him to wear a Pacers jersey?
He really wants to tear off this guy's jersey. Let alone being a Pacers player when he goes out in the future, he really can't afford to embarrass this guy!
When Reggie Miller left the field, he turned to look at Woody.
He didn't expect Artest to react like this after Woody's counterattack, but what he didn't expect was that Woody was much tougher than he thought.
Not everyone would dare to push Artest in such a situation.
Michael Jordan, you know?
"The God of Basketball", you know?
It was the third comeback that year, why was it postponed?
Isn't it because Artest's hit directly broke his ribs?
If the "God of Basketball" says to fight, then fight. Is there anything else this kid doesn't dare to do?
But even in the face of such a "fierce god", Woody was not afraid...
Woody raised his hands and enjoyed the cheers.
He looks like a winner!
Of course, he is indeed the winner tonight!
Even though he was limited by Artest tonight and didn't even take 15 shots, his shooting efficiency, excluding the first quarter, was less than 40% in the next three quarters!
Blocks and assists were also affected by the battle with Artest throughout the game, and they only got one.
But overall, he still got a "luxury double-double" of 15 points and 21 rebounds.
Among them, the number of rebounds reached a new high in his career!
This is also the first time in the history of the Heat that a player has scored 20 rebounds in a single game in his rookie season.
Artest finished the game with only 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His shooting percentage was less than 35%. Compared with Woody, there was a huge gap.
Just looking at the data, they have already won. Looking at the result of this game, the Heat had the last laugh.
Woody wins again!
This is not over yet...
Let’s talk about the best “one putt” in the game!
It was Qin Shihuang who ate peppercorns and won the prize!
The Miami fans at the scene entered "party mode", shaking their bodies with excitement.
Outside the arena, countless Miamians were shouting at the TV, "Woody, God forever!"
This rookie is so handsome!
Ben Wallace picked up the phone immediately: "Man, good job, that's it, but next time, don't just push with your hands, the boxing training in the training camp is not just about hitting the sandbag! "
He was very satisfied with Woody's attitude.
But I’m not very satisfied with Woody’s choice of shot!
If he encounters that situation, it will definitely not be a simple push, he will directly punch Artest.
What the hell, are you still attacking my teammates in front of me?
Scarlett had nothing to do and was also watching the game. Watching Woody and Artest fighting on the court, she was very excited. In the end, Woody's "boyfriend power" pushed her, which made her directly Opened the legs.
tonight……
Suddenly I really want to have one!
The person being interviewed on the sidelines was not Woody, but Dwyane Wade.
He ended up with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals tonight.
Shooting percentage 48%!
Very outstanding.
In fact, the person the reporters on the sidelines wanted to interview more was Woody.
Everything tonight basically has to do with him.
But after the game, Woody was no longer so excited. The physical sequelae of fighting Artest for a whole game immediately appeared, and he felt muscle pain at that time.
This is not a normal reaction after playing a basketball game at all, it is more like finishing a ring.
All right!
What he and Artest did tonight at certain times really went beyond basketball.
However, Woody is now completely in pain and happy.
It’s not just about winning games and winning people.
Also because when he opened the system, he could see that both tasks on his task panel showed that they had been completed.
After receiving the achievement points, his remaining achievement points suddenly reached more than 35,000 points.
Woody nailed this big one!
He saves face and wins in every aspect. Do you think Woody can't be happy?
Wade was interviewed by reporters, looking a little nervous.
In the past, such spotlights belonged to Woody.
Looking at the blonde in front of him and her big waves, Wade's eyes didn't know where to look for a moment.
The reporter's first question: "You were pushed away by Artest, and Woody rushed to protect you. What were you thinking at that time?"
ha?
Wade was stunned for a moment.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Woody came up to protect me?
Am I not protecting Woody?
Wade tried to recall the situation...
oh!
I rushed up and seemed to be pushed away, and then Woody came up to help me push back. Looking at it this way...
It seems that Woody protected me.
Can……
The reporter asked a question and it directly caused Wade's CPU to dry burn.
As soon as he entered the player tunnel, Woody was also successfully intercepted by reporters.
One of the reporters was afraid that Woody would run away, and before the people behind him could stand still, he asked the same question as the reporter on the sidelines asked Wade: "Woody, can you tell me about the situation at that time, Ron Artest?" After Ste pushed Dwyane, why did you rush forward so decisively?"
Woody was not surprised by the reporters’ questions.
Even if he got a "big double-double" with 16 points and 21 rebounds tonight.
But compared to basketball, it is obviously the conflict on the court that makes people more curious!
so……
Why serve that ball?
Wouldn't it be enough for two groups of people to collide and push each other?
Hey, does it sound familiar to you, like some kind of sport?
Yes, why do you think football is so popular in the United States?
The top boxers in boxing can earn as much as a top basketball player for his entire career in just one fight!
In America, the more violent the sport, the more attractive it is!
"I didn't think anything about it. I just saw Dwyane being pushed and pushed by others to protect me. No one can bully my teammates in front of me!" Woody shrugged, as if all this was normal, " So, some of it is a knee-jerk reaction!”
"Of course..." Woody laughed, "I had already thought about having another boxing match, but I didn't expect that Artest would react like this..."
At Woody's reminder, the reporters instantly recalled Artest's embarrassed retreat at that time, and his expression became weird because he was suppressing laughter.
They also didn't expect that Artest, who was tall and powerful, would give up.
After dealing with two more problems, Woody dragged his body back to the locker room with a more obvious reaction.
Wade came back after a while. His locker was diagonally opposite Woody's. He glanced at Woody gratefully and said, "Man, thank you for pushing it back for me."
? ? ?
Woody looked at his sincere look and was immediately confused. However, he has been getting along with Wade for almost three months now. He knows that this guy has an honest and honest character, and he may be troubled by someone else's problem. I can't wrap my head around it.
However, he did not follow the deception, but said to Wade: "It's me who should thank you, Dwyane!"
At that time, he stood in front of Artest so desperately, and his decisive look, especially the way he was pushed by Artest, made Woody feel warm.
This brother of his has nothing wrong with him except being stupid!
It’s so loyal!
Odom entered the locker room and gave Woody a thumbs up: "Well done, man, let this guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven embarrass himself!"
He was also surprised by Artest's reaction.
Having been brothers with Artest for so long, this is the first time he knows that Artest is a guy who "bullies the weak and fears the strong".
Thinking about it carefully, he must have been blinded by Artest's family background.
Artest was born into a "boxing family" and three generations above him were all boxers.
But the biggest ruthless person in Artest's family is his grandmother, a bank robber!
What kind of "outlaw gangster" is this?
How could a child born into such a family not be scary?
But now it seems that Artest was afraid of being beaten by his father when he was a child. When he encountered such a tough counterattack, he would immediately break out of stress trauma syndrome.
It can be described simply in two words:
Run away!
Woody said: "Man, if you go to a bar tonight, I will pay for all your expenses!"
His performance tonight is inseparable from Odom's sacrifice. If it weren't for him holding up the first line of defense for Woody on the defensive end, Woody might have been knocked to death by Artest tonight.
Even though this guy is a softie, the "pounds of flesh" on his body are not just for show, they are really hard!
When Odom heard that Woody invited him to have a drink, his eyes lit up, but his hands involuntarily rubbed the flesh on his body, and the pain made him regain his composure.
The injury he suffered tonight cannot be shielded even by the "worm on the brain", so let's wait until next time! It would be better for him to go home and take a nap later to rest.
Woody accidentally discovered a way to stop Odom from going out...
Turning on his phone, he also saw a text message from Ben Wallace.
I have to say, this feud is completely different.
I'm just rushing to send Artest to meet his wife!
The Pacers' press conference came to an end, but it didn't leave.
Rick Carlisle and O'Neal, who were sitting in the seats, frequently looked backstage. The reporters in the audience also stretched their necks like Chris Bosh and looked toward the backstage.
They are waiting for Artest!
After Artest was ejected, he disappeared.
The staff quickly searched all around the visiting team's locker room, but they couldn't find him.
But the reporters in the audience were obviously unwilling to let him go easily. Moreover, they would be fined for refusing to be interviewed by reporters after the game. They couldn't decide for Artest whether to refuse the interview.
For a moment, everyone was embarrassed.
"Why are you here? Ron!"
It wasn't until some of the Pacers players packed up their belongings, got on the bus, and walked to the back that Tinsley spotted Artest huddled in the last row.
He hugged his legs, shrank his head, and "rolled" into a ball.
If you don't get close to the back of the bus, you won't be able to see him at the entrance.
No wonder I can't find him...
"We're all waiting for your interview!"
"Ron?"
"Ron!"
Seeing that he ignored him no matter how he shouted, Tinsley stepped forward and pushed Artest.
But he didn't forget to keep a safe distance.
Who knows how Artest would react.
Artest sat up immediately and was so frightened that he took several steps back.
So much so that he didn't see Artest's embarrassed expression.
He actually hid here on purpose. He shrunk to this position immediately after leaving the scene and formed a ball.
That is to say, there is no crack in the ground, otherwise he would have gotten in.
When Tinsley called him, he immediately chose to "pretend to sleep" until he couldn't hide anymore, and then he sat up.
"I'm a little tired, please help me, man, I won't be interviewed today!"
Artest tried to look tired.
Fines are fines!
It’s better than being made difficult by reporters!
Avoiding won't solve the problem, but it does work temporarily!
As for what tomorrow will be like, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Maybe the world will end tomorrow?
It's just that Artest forgot one thing. He just received two technical fouls tonight. In addition, he refused to be interviewed this time. The next morning, the league unceremoniously offered a total of 100,000 US dollars. Knife ticket!
For Artest, whose annual salary is only 5.46 million and less than 3 million, this can be regarded as a "little bloodletting".
It doesn't matter if he just loses money. As long as he can eliminate the disaster, Artest is also willing.
But this "disaster" was not spared.
All major media and major news reports focused on this on-field conflict.
TNT was the most ruthless. In less than 10 seconds, they cut out a one-minute video replay and played it back in slow motion from all angles. Even Artest's stunned expression when he fell to the ground. There is also a two-second freeze frame.
The narration is accompanied by Buckley's ruthless laughter.
This game caused a great shock to the outside world.
The main reason is that Artest's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
Before this game, when talking about the toughest men in the league, Artest's name must be on the list.
But now!
"In a tough fight, Woody won the blood type! This Chinese man is stronger than a rock!"
"Not afraid of confrontation or conflict, Woody fought fiercely with Artest throughout the game and overthrew Artest. Tonight, he looked like a god of war!"
"15 plus 21, Woody's big double-double helped the Heat defeat the first place in the Eastern Conference. This team has found its true core!"
…
The "hardness" Artest lost in this game was all added to Woody.
Buckley: Let me just say it! This guy is "hard as hell"!
Woody: Shut up!
Various media reports all illustrate how Woody is a "real man" in this game!
Whether it is a confrontational attitude or a reaction to conflict.
Barkley said this: "Dwyane Wade really looked like a woman who wanted to protect Woody in this conflict, and in turn was protected by Woody!"
With this overwhelming "boyfriend power", becoming Woody's girlfriend must be a very happy thing!
Some gossip magazines also said this, and they successfully connected Woody, Scarlett and Megan Fox on this matter.
As a result, Megan Fox called Woody in the afternoon: "Otherwise, let's try to talk. I also want to try what it feels like to be protected."
Woody: "Why don't you go take a nap now? When you fall asleep, you will dream about everything!"
Unexpectedly, these words fell into Fox's ears, and the response he got was: "Do you want to sleep with me? When?"
I'm so rough, this woman!
Megan Fox's brain circuit caught Woody off guard and made him full of complaints.
“My next game is going to Los Angeles to play the Lakers!”
"Okay, I'll buy the ticket now!"
Um……
Complaints are complaints, more than half a month has passed since the last release, and it’s time to release again.
Love doesn't take much to talk about, but a night of love is still necessary.
Especially for energetic athletes like them.
Proper release is good for your health, this is what experts say.
Experts say other things may not be right, but in this case, Woody thinks the experts are right.
In this way, on the 2nd, before the battle with the Lakers, Woody had a battle with Megan Fox.
The battle was fierce.
Woody did not exert his full strength for this game against the Lakers, but he still won easily...
"Why do I feel like you're getting bigger again!"
At the end of the war, Woody didn't know how to respond to Megan Fox's harsh words.
You can't say that he is still developing, can you?
Ahem~
Woody coughed tactically and glanced at Fox's chest.
Prepare to say something, I feel like you are too old.
But in the end I decided not to say anything against my will.
Having seen the Yangtze River, no matter what kind of river it is, it can only be described as a small stream.
Scarlett...
Simply!
When Megan Fox left the next day, she said to Woody: "By the way, I will also go to watch your game against the Lakers tonight. See you then!"
Woody was worried and asked: "We should..."
"Damn, don't worry, I won't cheat on you, damn stinky man! Why didn't you say this last night?" Seeing Woody's worry, Megan Fox's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
Woody scratched his cheek and didn't care about Megan Fox's reaction.
It's okay to give this woman some popularity. Anyway, he's so popular, who can he give it to?
But you can’t get on this body!
He wants to find a girlfriend, who at least looks suitable in terms of height...
Uh, I'm going too far again!
After Megan Fox left, Woody also returned to the hotel where the team was staying. When he returned to the room, Odom had not returned from his time.
He has been working here for four years, and his old friend is so good that he probably won't be able to work even one night.
His condition may be in doubt in today's game!
Woody rested for a while and opened the Lakers information.
So far this season, the Lakers have been unhappy.
Although they completed two outstanding transactions in the summer, they successively signed two old and strong "veterans" in Karl Malone and Gary Payton, and together with the "OK" combination, they formed the Lakers F4.
But before the Lakers fans started to rejoice, Kobe was caught up in the "Eagle County Incident." The entire off-season passed without a resolution, and now Kobe still has to travel between the arena and the court.
The most important thing is that because of this incident, an angry Kobe said "Shaq did it too", which deepened the conflict between him and Shaquille O'Neal, even to the point of a public break.
This is not over yet. The first time the newly joined Karl Malone met Vanessa, he actually teased Vanessa in front of her and wanted to hunt this Mexican prey. This led to conflicts between Kobe and Karl Malone.
Kenny Smith believes that Karl Malone's actions not only harmed the team, but also himself: "He should know the impact of leaving the Jazz. If he cannot win the championship, this will become his The ridicule of his entire career, I admire him for being so desperate for the championship, so I don’t understand why he does such a thing even more!”
But even with so many contradictions, the Lakers are still ranked third in the Western Conference.
Second only to the Spurs and Timberwolves!
It suppressed the Kings and other Western Conference giants.
The atmosphere within the team has always been an important criterion for whether a team can maintain its excellent form.
The Lakers can still perform in such an outstanding state under such circumstances, I can only say...
Their paper strength is so good!
Woody looked at the approximate lineup of the Lakers.
It feels like the Heat are likely to lose to Los Angeles tonight.
After a month of running-in, the entire team's style is extremely distinctive, relying on sports battles to score points and using "anti-counterattack" tactics.
The premise for this tactic to work well is successful defense.
But as far as the Heat's entire defensive configuration is concerned, there is no player who is particularly outstanding in individual defense.
However, the Lakers have two strong points in the current league:
Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant!
Of the two last season, Shaquille O'Neal averaged 27.5 points per game and Kobe averaged 30 points per game!
This season, due to the joining of Karl Malone and Gary Payton, the two men's offensive ball rights have been reduced, but Kobe can still average 24 points per game, and Shaquille O'Neal can also average 23.5 points per game!
From an efficiency perspective, Shaquille O'Neal is even more terrifying.
He averaged 14.1 shots per game and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.4%!
An average of 10.1 free throw opportunities per game!
No matter how you analyze these two people, there is no opponent that the Heat can defend alone...
And if these two are allowed to score calmly and force the Heat to change their defensive strategy, then Woody dare not think carefully about how active Karl Malone and Gary Payton will become.
Gonna lose!
Throwing the Lakers player information on the table, Woody gave up.
Just at this time, Odom came back with a mean look on his face.
Woody looked at him curiously. When he spoke, he realized that this guy had just been eating the free breakfast downstairs and happened to see today's newspaper. The headline on the entertainment section was Woody's Night Party with Megan Fox.
Odom looked envious: "I really don't know when I will be as cool as you!"
"I don't expect such a beautiful star, even a reality show star!"
Woody wordlessly rolled up the information on the table and threw it at him: "Get ready, we are going to lose tonight!"
"ha?"
This was the first time Odom heard Woody say such words before the game.
He took a look at the Lakers information.
Lakers "F4", so scary?
There is another big bonus for the Lakers tonight:
As long as Kobe comes back from the court on game day this season, he will inevitably explode.
Thinking about it, he was quite depressed.
How come...
All I can say is that the money has not been negotiated well!
Don’t be too stingy when doing this kind of thing!
It is worth mentioning that "Magic" Johnson reminded Woody several times about this matter: "These bitches are here for your NBA status. As long as they stick to you once, you will Be prepared for heavy bleeding!”
so……
Woody only looks for stars!
There is an advantage to being a woman in the entertainment industry...
If they really sued Woody deliberately for some money, then their own career in the entertainment industry would be ruined.
I wonder which director in Hollywood doesn't try out a female role before finalizing it?
They don't want to be entangled with such a woman.
In today's game, Kobe just came back from the court. He was holding back a lot of fire and wanted to vent it on the court.
Staples tonight, as usual, the entire auditorium was filled with fans.
As a wealthy team in the NBA, this team has a large number of "die-hard fans", and Staples is also one of the arenas with the highest attendance in the league.
Of course, the Clippers' use of Staples was not recognized by Los Angeles people.
Otherwise, the Lakers have 43 home games in a season!
However, some of the fans who came to the scene tonight came for Woody. This super newcomer who has made a lot of noise recently has made many people full of curiosity.
Shaquille O'Neal also came to say hello: "Man, when I first saw you, I knew that you would definitely become an outstanding player! Sure enough, you caused a big stir as soon as you entered the league! I like you so much attitude, this is recognition from the big shark!”
He patted Woody on the shoulder.
He is amiable, not like a "big shark", but like a "fat-headed fish".
Since the "Yao Shark Battle" with Yao Ming, this guy's change in attitude towards Chinese players has truly been a 180-degree "big flip".
Woody smiled and responded to him. What he didn't notice was that a pair of cold "venomous snake eyes" next to him had already locked onto him:
Shaq's friend, right?
OK!
You are dead!
These "viper eyes" come from Kobe Bryant.
Since Shaquille O'Neal broke up with him publicly, he has hated all players who are close to Shaquille O'Neal.
So now he eats alone.
The second point of the argument is:
At this time, Kobe felt that the whole world was against him!
20 minutes before the game started, Megan Fox also appeared in the audience on the sidelines as she said.
There was a commotion.
Originally, in the star-studded Los Angeles, it was normal for celebrities to appear on the sidelines.
Especially for lesser-known stars like Megan Fox.
If it were another equally famous female star, there wouldn't even be a shot, let alone the sound of commotion.
The main reason why Megan Fox caused riots was Woody warming up on the court!
The footage at the scene kept switching between the two people, causing the commotion to become louder and louder. Megan Fox put her hands around her chest and looked at Woody on the court like a "sister".
It seemed like she wasn't going to sit down if Woody didn't come over to say hello.
Woody shook his head slightly silently, but went over to say hello.
She didn't come alone tonight, there was a female companion beside her:
She has the same big golden waves, but her appearance is more delicate and sweet, and she has a girl-next-door smile.
Compared to Megan Fox and Scarlett, who look stunning, this girl belongs to the type that is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
That is to say, the hexagram is worth watching!
Megan Fox introduced Woody to her female companion: Lindsay Lohan.
The two just finished filming "The Prom Queen" together.
In terms of fame, Lindsay Lohan is bigger. It can be seen from the scenes of the two filming "Prom Queen" that Lindsay Lohan is the first one and Megan Fox is the third one.
But tonight, Megan Fox looks to be even more famous.
Lindsay looked at Woody curiously.
She knows that Megan Fox’s popularity basically comes from Woody, which is why she agreed to come to watch the game with Megan Fox. She wanted to meet Woody.
Woody didn't waste much time. He simply said hello and went back to warm up.
Tonight's game is full of danger and misfortunes. If he doesn't feel confident yet, then he will wait until the media reporters criticize him for his improper attitude after the game!
If meanness had a name, it would be the American media!
The game then started, and Woody's worries did come true. The Heat were overwhelmed by the Lakers from the beginning.
The whole scene was completely one-sided.
Shaquille O'Neal on the inside, Kobe Bryant on the outside, and especially Kobe, the "court buff" took effect again tonight, stabbing Jones, the "big brother", to the point where he almost lost his ability to take care of himself.
He scored 20 points at the end of the first half!
Shaquille O'Neal had fewer points than him, but still scored 11 points!
The two of them scored 31 points. Coupled with the performance of Karl Malone and Gary Payton, they led by 11 points in two quarters.
In addition to the two strong points that cannot be dealt with, the Heat also have a big problem that they cannot attack. Wade instantly turns into a "widow" when he encounters "old gloves". There is no strong breakthrough from the outside, and the Lakers can relax. Expand defensive coverage.
Outside shooting also becomes difficult.
Not to mention the basket, no one can hold the ball in the paint and play alone.
That is to say, the entire starting lineup of the Lakers did not cooperate. Otherwise, the score difference would not only be 11 points, but also more than 15 points, and the game time would directly enter "garbage time."
Returning to the court in the second half, passing by Lindsay, she deliberately wrinkled her nose and said jokingly: "Meghan, Woody is not as tough as you said!"
Woody: "Woman, you're playing with fire!"
