NBA: Starting with the Strongest Talent

Translated to English by AI (warning is a parallel universe) Original Title: NBA:開局最強天賦 [System + Sports + Hot-blooded] After 2012, the NBA faced a decade dominated by Wade Dong. Jordan: "I am not the god of basketball, Wade Dong is." James: "I will work hard to become the second person in the league." Curry, Irving, Thompson, etc.: "We seem to live in Wade Dong's shadow, and we have always been imitating his moves." There is a saying in the NBA: "If there is Dong, choose Dong; if there is no Dong, choose Jordan." When a reporter asked Wade Dong why he was so strong, he humbly replied: "Because I have systematic training."

Chapter 210: Wanting to Thank Wade Dong

"Brother Dong..."

Huang Yu also looked at Wade Dong, feeling somewhat touched.

This was Chinese camaraderie!

The two had just met for the first time, and Wade Dong was able to publicly encourage him, disregarding the feelings of his own teammates and coach.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Wade Dong shouted at Huang Yu again, "Hurry back on defense!"

Dudley, who was also on the court, heard Wade Dong say this and whispered to Huang Yu, "Brother Dong really cares about you."

"Because we're both Chinese!"

Huang Yu patted Dudley, "Hurry back on defense!"

Nash missed his shot.

Bynum grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Huang Yu. Huang Yu quickly passed it to Jackson, then ran to position himself.

At the free-throw line, Jackson passed the ball back to Huang Yu, but Tucker followed up on defense, still not giving Huang Yu a comfortable shooting space, forcing him to attack with his left hand.

Wade Dong anxiously stood up and shouted, "Dudley, you need to cut backdoor!"

This kind of "call" was very familiar to Dudley. Back when he was on the Suns, Wade Dong often sat on the sidelines directing tactics for him. Dudley instinctively cut backdoor, and just as Huang Yu was about to shoot against Tucker's defense, he saw Dudley running over. He made a bounce pass, and the ball slipped through Tucker's legs to Dudley.

"Swish!!!"

Dudley received the ball and made an easy layup.

33:27!!!

The Warriors cut the lead to just 6 points.

Tucker, "???"

Huang Yu and Dudley's pass was beautiful, but Tucker became the background.

Moreover, Tucker became the background because Wade Dong had directed this offensive play for the Warriors.

Kidd really couldn't take it anymore and immediately called a timeout, then substituted the starters back in for the bench players.

Wade Dong couldn't possibly be directing the Warriors' plays on the court, could he?

As soon as Wade Dong entered the game, Dudley ran over, smiling, "It's still Brother Dong who's the best. If it weren't for your directions just now, we wouldn't have executed such a perfect play."

"Your grandma's leg~~~"

Wade Dong glared at Dudley and ran to the frontcourt.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Warriors immediately double-teamed him, but at this moment, Wade Dong found an open spot. Curry passed the ball to Wade Dong, who jumped and shot over Barnes's defense.

35:27!!!

The Suns' bench was balanced in both offense and defense, and the Suns' starters had insane firepower!

After Wade Dong scored, Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers.

The lead was extended again.

The Warriors attacked, but Bynum missed his mid-range shot. He grabbed his own rebound, missed the follow-up shot, then grabbed the rebound again and shouted as he used his body to push Middleton away, turning for a small hook shot!

"Your grandma's leg~"

Wade Dong came over from the side to block Bynum's shot.

Bynum, "???"

After grabbing two offensive rebounds in a row, Bynum was about to gain momentum, but Wade Dong didn't give him any face, blocking his shot.

The Warriors' offense was limited by the Suns.

Moreover, Huang Yu had just entered the NBA, as Wade Dong said, he hadn't adapted to the NBA's pace yet. Treating him like an ordinary player could indeed bring out some of his abilities. In this game, Jackson's idea was to let Huang Yu carry the entire team, but Huang Yu's weaknesses were also exposed.

The first half ended.

57:41!!!

The Suns led the Warriors by 16 points, and the game had basically lost its suspense.

...

Huang Yu looked at Wade Dong several times, wanting to chat more with him.

But the halftime break was too short, and the coach still needed to discuss tactics for the second half, so Huang Yu had to give up on that idea.

The third quarter began.

Curry and Wade Dong started raining threes, quickly extending the lead.

The lead soon grew to 25 points, and Kidd substituted Wade Dong, Curry, and McGrady off the court, replacing them with Variek, Whiteside, and Frye.

This left the Suns' lineup as Green, Middleton, Variek, Whiteside, and Frye.

Having 12 players rotate in a game was rare, but for the Suns, it was inevitable. Garbage time wasn't a time for the starters to be on the court, so Nash, Thompson, and Gortat also didn't need to play anymore.

The Warriors kept their starters on the court; it was still the third quarter, and they were still hoping to close the gap.

The Suns had already secured the best record in the league, but the Warriors were still fighting for a playoff spot. These last few games were must-wins.

Whiteside had almost forgotten the last time he played in an NBA regular-season game. This time, getting the chance to play, he was incredibly excited and immediately blocked Bynum's shot.

Bynum, "???"

As the team's leader, Bynum had already been blocked twice in this game, and he felt a bit humiliated.

Fortunately, the ball fell into Huang Yu's hands. Huang Yu received the ball, faked out Middleton, and jumped for a shot!

"Swish!!!"

The ball bounced off the rim and went in.

The Suns attacked, and Bynum rushed to the three-point line, trying to steal the ball from Variek, but after Bynum came out, the Warriors' interior was empty. Variek passed the ball to Whiteside!

"Boom!!!"

Whiteside received the ball in the paint and soared for a dunk!

"Ah!!!"

After the dunk, Whiteside strutted like a king, feeling invincible.

The Warriors attacked.

Dragic ran to the baseline to pass the ball. He intended to pass it to Huang Yu, but Bynum shouted at Dragic, "Pass it to me!"

Dragic hesitated for a moment but still passed the ball to Bynum.

Bynum dribbled past the midcourt line and attempted a three-pointer from two steps behind the three-point line.

"..."

The shot was way off, an airball.

Jackson frowned, feeling he couldn't take Bynum anymore and was about to substitute him out.

But...

Someone from the Suns' bench stood up again, angrily shouting, "Bynum, your grandma's leg~ Are you still a kid?"

Bynum, "..."

"If you can play, play; if you can't, get off the court!"

Wade Dong scolded again, but in the end, he still comforted Bynum, "It's just being blocked a few times. Even Durant has had a game where he was blocked twice. Do you have the right to care about such things?"

Bynum, "..."

Wade Dong's scolding had a clear effect. Bynum lowered his head, and when he looked up again, his attitude had improved.

"I really want to thank Wade Dong..."

Jackson looked at Wade Dong, thinking to himself, "If I could sign Wade Dong to the Warriors, with him and me working together, we could lead the Warriors to a three-peat."
