He won, he won again, he won again!
Three consecutive victories in the opening season!
No one had expected a team that had made a big move in the summer, a big trade, and changed half of their main force to be so strong in the new season.
If the first two teams were average and couldn't tell their true skills and tactics, then the New jersey Nets, the runner-up in the finals, was definitely convincing enough.
Even the finals team had been defeated. The Wizards fans were in high spirits from the end of the game to the next day.
They couldn't be unhappy.
Not to mention the changes in the backfield, Duke, the second-round pick of the draft, had performed well in three consecutive games. They were so happy that they couldn't sleep.
He had 31 points and 25 rebounding in the first match, 15 points and 20 rebounding in the second match, and he had scored 33 points and 22 rebounding last night. He had grabbed more than 20 rebounding points in three consecutive games. His absolute dominance under the basket made countless people see the future.
"Too strong! Our Duke is too strong!”
Some of the old fans even cried tears of joy.
They finally welcomed a new super insider. The last one was Wes Unseld from the seventies.
Now that a rookie had appeared, did that mean they could dream of becoming champions again?
Back then, Anseld had won the only championship for the Wizards.
And this season, it would probably be the same.
With Duke, Michael Jordan, the star guard Stackhouse, and Larry Hughes, this team definitely had the ability to compete for the championship.
They had every reason to look forward to the championship!
"105:90, the Wizards who took down the New jersey Nets and ushered in a three-game winning streak. But what people are looking forward to more is the rookie center who scored 33 points and 22 rebounded-Duke!”
"After 31 25, Duke scored another 30 20 in the game against the Nets. He scored 20 in three consecutive games. Such a violent performance has officially given birth to a new star in the paint!”
"Excellent physical fitness, high basketball IQ, and a keen sense of rebounding. Duke has completely surpassed the veteran Dikembe Mutumbo in this game. Xia Lian's little shark had already swam into the regular season. The league should tremble!”
"Is he really going to be in the second round? Was he supposed to be in the second round? Duke should be the second top scorer picked by Michael. Oh no, he was even better than the top scorer!”
On this day, another series of reports appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain in the newspaper stands on the streets and alleys.
Duke's performance in last night's finals had once again caused a stir in the league.
His popularity was even higher than before!
There was no other reason. It was because the opponent he defeated this time was too valuable.
Especially in the matchup with Mutombo, Duke's superior performance on both offense and defense made people vaguely see a younger version of O'Neal.
Who was Uncle Mu?
Two-time rebounding king;
Three blocked shots;
Four-time DPOY, Defensive Player of the Year!
Six times, let go for a while.
Mutombo's honor on the defensive end was simply too much.
However, last night, Duke had been using his strength to bully him. He couldn't gain the upper hand at all, or rather, he had been beaten up.
In the matchup of the entire match, the difference in talent between the two was too obvious.
This match was a real test for Duke.
Even after the game, Uncle Mu gave a very high evaluation in an interview.
"He has extremely high talent and excellent physical fitness. In the matchup with him, as you can see, I can't take any advantage. In time, he will definitely become a top center forward.”
"What's the difference between him and Shaq? Oh, they were clearly different.”
"Shaq is stronger and heavier, making it difficult to resist. Du, on the other hand, was thinner, had a sharper sense of smell, and his footsteps were more agile. If he was not careful, he would be under his control. Although the two of them had different talents, they were both talented inside players.”
"Little shark? You're right, our Shark Shaq has an opponent!”
In the morning, after watching the post-match press conference, the Wizards sensed something else from Mutombo's eloquent words.
Especially his last words…
"This big guy is gloating. He's completely roasting our little Duke.”
"That's right, he's trying to kill us. He wants to start a war between Duke and Shaq!”
"Too sinister, this bastard!"
Oakley and Stackhouse were indignant in the physiotherapist room.
The two of them were very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
They didn't think that Duke would be a match for Shark.
Even though Duke had shown such potential, the feeling that Shark had given people over the years was simply too heaven-defying.
Who could resist that monster?
As the loser from last night, Mutombo was wildly belittling himself while wantonly praising him. He raised Duke's hand to provoke Shaq's anger and disgust them.
Not only did he disgust them, but he also wanted to kill them with a borrowed knife.
Sinister enough, cunning enough!
Just as they were about to continue, Duke suddenly walked in and said to them,"Friends, can I ask you for a favor?”
"Help?"
The two of them looked at him in shock.
"Can you be my sparring partner? I want to improve myself!"
Duke smiled embarrassedly.
"Upgrade myself?" The two of them were a little confused.
Good heavens, didn't you see Uncle Mu disgusting people on TV?
Don't you feel anything?
He still had the mood to train?
Also, what kind of training requires the two of us?
Oakley and Stackhouse were dumbfounded, but they still followed Duke back to the training center.
Soon, they knew what this kid was going to do.
He was actually training his protective frame ability, or rather, his sealing ability.
Duke wanted Stackhouse to be the perimeter breaker and attack the basket while he stayed inside to practice his blocking ability.
As for Oakley, he helped Stackhouse block Duke, trying not to let the latter throw himself into the block so comfortably.
Well, this training was not easy.
Stackhouse was very interested. He wanted to see what Duke would do.
If he attacked the box, it would make it easy for Duke to protect the box. Even if he couldn't block him, he could make it difficult for him to attack.
But with Oakley, it was different.
"Then come!"
Although he admired Duke's diligence, he didn't mind teaching him a lesson.
