After the game, at the press conference, Wang Shuo, who led his team to three consecutive victories, once again became the focus of media attention.
"Tomorrow night you will challenge the Pistons back to back. Are you confident in leading the team to win four consecutive games?"
You know, the last time the Wizards won four consecutive games in the NBA...
That was last time.
"I'm a fan of coach Rick Carlisle, and I believe tomorrow night's game will be exciting." After pondering for two seconds, Wang Shuo did Tai Chi to reporters.
Although he had set up an arrogant persona for himself early on, Wang Shuo was not stupid.
In the new season, after changing the team's head coach, the Pistons have begun to get on the right track.
Wang Shuo knew very well that tomorrow night's game would not be easy, so how could he leave evidence to reporters that would slap him in the face afterwards?
"Before the start of the season, you were only ranked third from the bottom in the team strength list, but now you are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. How did you do it?"
Wang Shuo shrugged and said, "Go on the court and make the shots that need to be made. It's that simple."
"Since the beginning of the new season, Pau Gasol and Tyson Chandler have been performing day by day. Do you think the Chicago Bulls will regret it in the future?"
Hearing this, Wang Shuo covered his face.
As he remembered, Chandler, who was still inexperienced at the moment, had a terrible start to his career.
As this year's NBA No. 1 pick, in the first three NBA regular season games of his career, Tyson Chandler's statistics were 1 point and 0 rebounds, 2 points and 1 rebound, and 3 points and 1 rebound.
no doubt.
As the No. 1 pick but only producing such data, Chandler will definitely be questioned from all directions.
Especially in the context of No. 2 pick Pau Gasol, it becomes even more obvious how stupid the Bulls management chose to do in the three-way deal to get Chandler.
This is one of the reasons why Boss Joe has such a good attitude towards Gasol.
Since he retired that year, he has formed a quarrel with Bulls owner Raunsdorf and Bulls general manager Krause, so the current relationship between Boss Joe and the Bulls is like a pair of people who once fell in love but have broken up. lovers.
Anyway, as long as your life is bad, then I will definitely wish you a better life in the future than you are now.
In the market, many experts have begun to boldly predict that Chandler will become the next parallel import number one pick.
But Wang Shuo knows very well that the main reason for Chandler's unfavorable start in his career is that he is still in the stage of physical development.
Unlike Gasol, who has been able to kill everyone in the European Championships.
Since he didn't go to college and he could still grow taller, the Bulls management did not choose to let Chandler hang out this summer for insurance reasons.
From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with the Bulls management's approach.
But as of now, NBA players Embiid and Ayton are here, and at most they are only as strong as drinking milk from a bottle on the sidelines...
Don't worry, as an insider, how do you want Chandler to fight?
In Wang Shuo's previous life, if he remembered correctly, Chandler finally relied on his talent to average 6 points and 4 rebounds per game in his rookie season after adapting for more than two months.
In fact, it was not until the second season of his career that Chandler barely adapted to the intensity of NBA confrontation.
However, what may be different from what the Bulls imagined is...
Chandler has no offensive talent at all.
In the future, the reason why the Bulls chose to sell Chandler at a low price after training him for several years is precisely because Chandler's growth was different from their imagination.
Wang Shuo knew the value of Chandler, and he was never the kind of person to gloat over misfortune, so after thinking for a while, he told reporters: "I think people's evaluation of Tyson is biased. You know, Rome is not It can be built in a day.”
"Do you think he can fulfill his potential in the future?" reporters asked.
"It's hard to say. Take Jamal as an example. Who would have thought that he, who couldn't even get playing time in Chicago before, would become our super sixth man in the new season?" Wang Shuo replied.
Upon hearing this, the reporters immediately became happy.
Because Wang Shuo was clearly complaining about the Bulls' general environment.
As the saying goes, character determines destiny, and environment affects growth.
Since Crawford can perform well after changing the environment, if Chandler does not perform well this season, does the Bulls also have to bear some of the blame for the bad environment provided to the rookies?
Although he did not harm the Bull by gloating about Chandler's misfortune, Wang Shuo used a more murderous method to persecute the Bull.
The next day, after reading the news report, Boss Qiao just wanted to hold Wang Shuo and kiss him hard.
Well done!
What bullshit Chicago Bulls?
Without me, Michael Jordan, I just want to see how Raunsdorf and Krause play next.
How to play...
How else can we play?
Of course, the general manager took the blame and resigned, and then it was time to mess up and settle down, and then it was time to mess up and settle down.
Anyway, until Wang Shuo traveled through time...
Except for the Bulls in the Rose era, which once gave people a glimmer of hope, most of the time, the Bulls have been living under the curse of Michael Jordan.
On the same day, Tyson Chandler, who recently felt that even breathing was a mistake, almost cried on the spot after reading the news reports that day.
Good man!
Finally, a good person is willing to stand up and speak for himself!
Wang Shuo, who was given a good guy card by Chandler thousands of kilometers away, didn't know at this moment what kind of intersection he would have with Chandler in the future.
On the evening of the 4th, Auto City.
Facing the Pistons led by Carlisle, as the game progressed, Wang Shuo found that the difficulty of this game was far beyond his imagination.
Although Carlisle, who just took over the team, has not yet completed the construction of this Pistons.
But as one of the few coaches in this era who dares to allow players to take three-pointers from the outside, Carlisle has quietly created a comprehensive and three-dimensional offensive tactics for the Pistons in the new season.
On the outside, for the Pistons, players such as Stackhouse, Dana Burrows and Clifford Robinson can shoot.
Anyway, don’t be afraid even if you are strong.
Just in time to practice Ben's offensive rebounding ability.
Relying on this tactic of beating the master to death with random punches, in the absence of star players in the team this season, if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, in the time and space he was originally in, Carlisle later brought the Pistons in. Eastern Conference semifinals.
At the same time, it was precisely because the Pistons reached the Eastern Conference semifinals that season that the Wizards misjudged Stackhouse's actual value when making a deal with the Pistons in the 2002/03 season.
After all, how could the Wizards have imagined that Stackhouse's "explosive output" with the Pistons was entirely based on his crazy forging that would make even Iverson and Kobe shed tears?
In the 2000/01 season, Stackhouse averaged 24.1 shots per game and only hit 9.7 goals.
In the 2001/02 season, although Carlisle slightly optimized Stackhouse's shot structure, his overall shooting rate was even lower, not even 40%, only 39.7%.
In fact, Carlisle didn't want to use Stackhouse if there were better options.
But who told him not to?
Therefore, in Wang Shuo's previous life, after discovering that the Wizards were willing to trade Hamilton for Stackhouse, Carlisle persuaded the team management to agree to the deal without even thinking about it.
Thanks to Wizards Lao Tie for sending "Piston Five Fragments of the Masked Man" to Motor City.
If there was a live broadcast in the first decade of the 21st century, Carlisle would definitely have a big heart for the Wizards management.
On the court, in the first quarter of the game, due to the impact of back-to-back games and the fact that it was an away game, the Wizards players' touch obviously declined.
In the NBA, what tortures players back to back is never the consumption on the court.
It's the loss during flight.
You know, yesterday's game between the Wizards and the 76ers started at 8 pm local time in Washington.
And until 12 o'clock in the evening, most of the Wizards players were still in the locker room changing equipment, taking a shower, and chatting.
Therefore, even though Washington is not far from Detroit, after all this trouble, the Wizards did not have much time to prepare for the game against the Pistons.
In addition, tonight on the Wizards' side, their playmaker Gasol also encountered his nemesis.
In the early stages of his career, Ben was definitely one of Gasol's least favorite opponents.
Because of his fierce playing style, toughness and passion, and rarely jumping around when defending, Gasol is not easy to play against him.
Gasol wants to play in the low post, so he can defend alone without the need for teammates.
Gasol wanted to play a pick-and-roll, and his natural instinct was to directly break the pick-and-roll and at the same time drag two to buy time for his teammates to return to their positions.
If Gasol wants to fight and retreat, Ben will give him a "Seven Days Lock" with his backhand, and he will not even be allowed to catch the ball.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, when facing Big Ben in his first season, Gasol's statistics at that time were 4 points and 4 rebounds and 11 points and 4 rebounds respectively.
I have to say that the NBA is indeed one thing that brings down another thing.
If we talk about the early stage of his career, Yao Yao will have to suffer a lot in Dajia in the future. It was not until he completed his leveling that he played 55 with Gasol...
That little Yao is making a big move...
But he really thought that Iverson was playing.
I heard that you are very good at fighting in the low position?
I heard you can break pick-and-rolls?
I heard that you can guard others until they can't even catch the ball?
At what level do you dare to call this thing "Big Ben"? Go back and change my name quickly!
No way, because Gasol can't open up the situation on the court, and the Pistons are very difficult to watch from the outside...
So in this game, Wang Shuo understood why in his memory, whenever the Bulls fell behind, Phil Jackson would only do that one move over and over again.
As the saying goes, understand "Zen Master" and become "Zen Master".
In the second quarter of the game, after looking at the scoreboard where the Wizards were trailing 19-27, Wang Shuo immediately turned his head towards Michael Jordan with an affectionate look on his face.
However, before Wang Shuo could speak, Jordan guessed what he wanted to say next.
Day by day, can you NBA coaches try something new?
But don’t tell me yet, Jordan really only does this.
At this moment, looking at Wang Shuo's affectionate eyes, Jordan slowly stood up and said to Wang Shuo: "Let them give me the ball, and I will settle the game."
