After finalizing the game plan against the Philadelphia 76ers, Wang Shuo took the initiative to find Jordan before the team's tactical preparation meeting began the next afternoon.
As a result, Wang Shuo, who thought he would have to talk a lot to convince Boss Qiao, never expected that Boss Qiao immediately nodded and agreed that Gasol would play the leading role in the evening game as soon as he heard his plan.
"Paul performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense in these two games. If it weren't for the fact that the center's sneakers are so hard to sell, I would have even thought about asking him to represent AJ." Jordan smiled at Wang Shuo.
Look to the sky!
Are you really the Michael Jordan I remember?
At this moment, looking at the "affable" Boss Qiao, Wang Shuo always felt that something was wrong.
But he soon understood why Boss Joe so readily agreed to let Gasol be the core of the Wizards' tactics in the next game.
Is it because Gasol’s cakes in these two games were so delicious that he overstuffed Boss Joe?
of course not.
Wake up!
In these two games, the person who actually paid the most for Jordan on the court was Hamilton.
But has Boss Joe changed his attitude towards Hamilton because he has paid so much for him?
Wang Shuo knew that the main reason why Jordan had a different attitude towards Gasol, including pinching his back to encourage him before the jump ball in the opening game, was probably because in Jordan's eyes, Gasol was one of his own.
As the best proof of his "sightedness", since in Jordan's eyes, Gasol is the future he personally selected for the Wizards, so of course he hopes that Gasol can continue to work hard in the game and reach a higher level.
In Wang Shuo's original time and space, the same reason why Jordan "hated Kwame Brown" was the same.
Because now, people praising Gasol are equivalent to praising Jordan for his good vision. Therefore, Jordan, who felt that he was more distinguished, after listening to the game plan described to him by Wang Shuo, not only did he not object, but thought that he should support this player. A little guy from Spain.
This is Michael Jordan.
On the court, he is "god".
But off the court, he is still a human being.
And as long as you are a human being, you cannot not have your own Xiao Jiujiu in your heart.
Of course, even though Jordan agreed readily, Wang Shuo did not relax his "vigilance". After pondering for two seconds, he then said to Jordan, who seemed to be in a good mood: "Tonight's game is our new season after all." It’s your first home game, don’t worry, Michael, I guarantee that under this tactical system, you can still continue your previous outstanding performance.”
Hearing this, Jordan immediately rolled his eyes at Wang Shuo and said, "Can we trust each other more? I've never been the kind of player who needs a coach to 'coax' me to play, even though I scored 51 points in the opening game." , but I also know very well where my limit is now."
Jordan is not stupid.
If there is really no hope for this Wizards, then so be it.
But after the first two games, Jordan is very convinced that as time goes by, this Wizards will definitely become more and more courageous.
And Jordan knows very well that compared with the East where he was back then, the East now is just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps.
If the west next door is in a frenzy of involution, then the east right now is collectively in ruins.
As long as you're not as bad as your opponent, you'll probably stand out from the Eastern Conference.
Obviously, Wang Shuo still underestimated that Michael Jordan could win six championships and create two dynasties.
In the NBA, why is there a cliché saying that it is not difficult to win the championship and it is not difficult to defend the title, but it is even more difficult to create a dynasty?
Because not to mention the physical torture of trying to create a dynasty in the NBA and having high-intensity games for three consecutive years.
In the NBA, how many teams can guarantee that, while the main structure remains unchanged, the players on your team with different personalities and different ideas can work together in the past three years?
In the future, when people praise the Bulls' second dynasty and the Lakers' dynasty, they will often selectively ignore the conflicts that existed in the two teams at the time.
In fact, whether it was during the Bulls' "Last Dance", Pier Piper's poor choices in order to get a big contract, or the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe in the later stages of the Lakers dynasty, there was one aspect that Phil Jackson failed to handle well. , what awaits him is likely to be a complete collapse.
Perhaps, this "KFC Spokesperson" is not as amazing in tactics as people say, but in terms of control of the locker room, Jackson is indeed worthy of the championships he won.
As the number one talker of the Bulls' two dynasties, if Michael Jordan really didn't understand what "basketball is a sport for five people", he would have been able to score three points in seven consecutive games as early as the 1990s. Why doesn't he, who has double numbers, choose to continue to play in the sewer in the next game and improve his data?
Jordan's persistence in winning determines that when you can make him see hope, then he is willing to "do whatever it takes" to win.
…
At night, at the MCI Center, looking at the crowded auditorium, Wizards owner Abel Paulin, sitting in the VIP box, felt like he was the winner in life.
Michael Jordan's appeal is truly astonishing.
Anyway, since buying the team in 1964, Paulin has never seen this kind of dream-like ball market with his own eyes.
In the last century, this kind of ball market would only exist in Los Angeles and in Chicago with Jordan.
And now...
It belongs in Washington!
Belong to him Abel Pauline!
How can one not love basketball like this?
On the court, when Michael Jordan came on the court to warm up, the fans' cheers almost shook the dome of the MCI Center.
The appearance of Wang Shuo is destined to change the fate of the Wizards.
Because in Wang Shuo's previous life, even if Jordan came back, the Wizards' market was far from as hot as it is at this moment.
To put it bluntly, any sentiment in the face of absolute results and offensive basketball is nonsense.
Regardless of the Wizards' first two games, the Knicks and Hawks were not top teams.
But in these two games, in addition to winning, the Wizards' performance on the offensive end was equally eye-catching.
They play at a very fast pace and even actively force their opponents to speed up to fight them during the game.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, why was there a famous saying in the NBA that said, "Only people who don't understand football don't like the Phoenix Suns"?
Because only after watching that Suns game with your own eyes, you will understand what is meant by pleasing the eyes and what is meant by mercury.
Although muscle basketball has a unique flavor, if you want to attract fans, offense is indeed the way to go.
After all, fans have worked hard to buy tickets. You can't let people watch your players on the field and "dang, dang, dang" all the time, right?
At the scene, after the players of the two teams warmed up, the big screen immediately showed the starting list of the two teams tonight.
Wizards: Gasol, Jordan, Artest, Hamilton, Arenas.
76ers: Mutombo, Coleman, Halprin, Raja Bell, Clayton.
Since Allen Iverson was absent due to injury, Larry Brown chose to replace Raja Bell on the starting back line tonight.
Bell, who is 196 centimeters tall and weighs 93 kilograms, has been selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team for two consecutive years in the future. At the same time, he is accurate in three-pointers and has a career three-point shooting rate of 40.6%.
In Wang Shuo's view, Bell is definitely one of the top 3D players of this era.
But it's a pity...
In the hands of Larry Brown, he was destined to be unable to unleash his full potential.
Don't look at Larry Brown starting with him tonight, but in fact, this is completely a helpless move by Larry Brown, who is used to fucking Iverson.
He was never Laga Bale's underdog.
Even if Bell is very defensive.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, it was under Jerry Sloan that Bell really made great progress on defense and completely changed his style to become a super 3D.
Jerry Sloan is Bell's talent in the true sense.
Under Sloan, who was good at cultivating and transforming new players, Bell soon opened a new door after gaining an important position.
It's a pity that the Jazz, who have always been reluctant to pay the luxury tax, are destined to be unable to keep the growing Bell.
In the center of the field, Gasol and Mutombo started the game with a jump ball.
When jumping the ball, Gasol, who was entrusted with the important task by the team tonight, took a breath when he looked at the ridiculous wingspan of the "Mountain of Africa".
But soon, Gasol calmed down.
Because it was just like what Wang Shuo told him before the game.
In addition to choosing front hard steel for basketball.
You can also choose to fight and retreat.
Snapped!
After the jump ball, the 76ers had the ball and Clayton dribbled the ball across half court.
