The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 57: The same treatment as Jordan

When warming up, Shentong was a little surprised.

Continental Airlines Arena is packed!

The unprecedented degree of grandeur, especially on the opening day.

If you look closely, many people in the audience are wearing the blue and white Wizards 23 jersey and the classic red and black Bull 23 jersey.

Another half.

Michael Jordan chewed the gum while warming up to shoot, and occasionally said a few laughs to his teammates.

"Michael, I love you!"

"Michael, welcome back to the NBA."

Jefferson leaned close to Shen Tong: "Dude, how do I feel like playing on the road."

...

According to coach Scott's pre-match arrangements, the Nets' starting list for this game is no different from the opening game.

Mark Lodge, Martin, Van Horn, Kidels, Kidd.

The Washington Wizards also sent a starting lineup without Jordan.

According to Jordan, he came to the Wizards to help the players grow better without depriving them of playing time and development space.

Therefore, Jordan himself took the initiative to sit on the bench, and pressed the top pick Kwame Brown on the bench, waiting to play with himself.

The Wizards' starting center is Brandon Haywood, a 20th rookie in the first round.

He is 2.13 meters tall and was born in New York City.

Why did Heywood start with the Wizards?

This has nothing to do with the withering of the Wizards inside.

And Haywood's basketball level is indeed good, after all, it is the first round of the show.

Another point, when he was in college, he played for the University of North Carolina.

The same alma mater as Jordan.

Ok...

The power forward was originally preset for Kwame Brown, and everyone knows that this position will belong to Brown sooner or later.

But because of Jordan's on-the-spot guidance, Brown is not yet suitable as a starter.

So lucky guy Jahidi White was able to start.

With a height of 2.06 meters, White has been playing for the Wizards. He averaged 8.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 23 minutes per game last season.

Starting small forward ...

Wait, this guy turned out to be!

Bobby Simmons!

Isn't this the guy who was repaired by Shentong during the training camp?

Simmons had a good time.

The Wizards really seem to be unavailable.

After being selected by Seattle in the second round, Simmons came to the Wizards through a trade.

Then he was reused by the discerning Jordan.

Richard Hamilton finally appeared as a qualified starter.

With a height of 1.98 meters and Hamilton wearing a No. 32 jersey, Jordan has high hopes.

In his sophomore year, Hamilton had averaged 18.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

There is a very stable CIC.

Running on the court is very frequent, and is very good at using the gap created by the pick and roll to score.

Is a very standard running-catch-shooter, and Miller belongs to the same type of player.

It is also a player that Shentong needs to observe.

In the position of the point guard, a veteran pressed.

Chris Whitney is 1.83 meters tall.

This player who spent the early days of his career with the Spurs was dedicated on the court and completed the coaching tactics.

Belongs to the field-control players that coaches like.

Judging from the starting lineup of the Wizards, it is not wrong to be reduced to the eastern fish belly.

This lineup can make the playoffs, it is really surprising.

...

Shen Tong, who was sitting on the bench, saw Simmons make his debut.

"I rely on, Bobby Simmons are all starters." Shen Tong could not help but complain.

"You come up ~~" Simmons ticked his finger at the enemy sitting on the bench.

The goddess!

Go up and see me later not to kill you.

Jefferson smiled.

"At least $ 500 is still there."

The brilliant performance of Shentong's first game made Jefferson think that he would lose the money first.

In fact, money is not important, but face is important.

Shen Tong glanced at the bench of the Wizards.

Jordan sat on the bench.

Ok.

At least the same treatment as Jordan.

...

The game is broadcast live by TNT TV studio.

The combination of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Before the game started, Barkley looked very excited.

Smith teased: "Why, some old people can't sit still when they see old acquaintances?"

Buckley said with a smile: "I haven't watched his game for a long time. The last Wizards against New York was not in the scope of TNT's live broadcast. It's a pity."

Smith: "It's rare to see you value a player so much. Was it completely overwhelmed by Michael during the player period?"

Barkley shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that I am the best player in the world. But Jordan, the guy is not an earthman."

Smith widened his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that the big mouth can be honest."

"Oh." Buckley laughed contemptuously, retorting, "Kenny, don't say that, I hate the people with big mouths, but fortunately I have never been that kind of person.

Smith spread his hands and smiled: "Well, Charles, you really have self-knowledge."

Barkley raised his eyebrows and said in a daunting manner: "Of course, being a man should be confident. For example, I think I am the most handsome man in the world, and this is indeed the case."

Buckley's expression at the moment: (???)?

Smith: "Are you sure?"

Buckley hesitated and replied: "Okay, I'm the second handsome, maybe George Clooney is a little more handsome than me, just a little."

Smith: "Hey, Charles, there are fans who wrote a poem for you in the chat room of our live broadcast room. Would you like to hear it?"

Buckley glanced at the chat room, just about to stop it.

Smith has spoken over there.

"Natural divine power is hard to give up, round head, round head, and round ass; once a guardian guards the restricted area, watch me fly pig Barkley!"

"Charles, it seems that this is the real impression you leave on the fans."

Barkley: ─ ─ ─ ─?

...

At the referee's whistle, the game finally started!

Martin didn't fall in the jump with Heywood, but the ball was still won by the Wizards first.

"Defense, defense!"

The atmosphere of the fans at Continental Airlines Arena is very warm.

Hamilton slipped the bottom line as soon as he came up.

high speed.

It even ran back from the bottom line to the inside.

Kidels, who defended Hamilton, did not keep up.

Under the cover of Heywood, Hamilton got a chance to calmly shoot.
