In Madison Square Garden, Jordan scored 51 points, plus 7 assists and 11 rebounds for the Wizards in his first game back. When he was replaced by Wang Shuo and took a break, Jordan received the homage from the entire venue.

Since the Knicks were no longer interested in playing, the last few minutes of the game were completely reduced to silly time.

In the end, the finishing score of the two teams was 118 to 98.

In addition to Jordan, Pau Gasol, who made his NBA debut tonight, also received unanimous praise from Wizards fans after the game.

In the whole game, Gasol, who had played with the Knicks inside like a toy all game, made 7 of 9 shots. Including free throws, he scored a total of 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and two blocks.

No way.

Although in this game, Gasol has been dealing cards for his teammates.

But the triangle offense is so "poisonous".

Because the original intention of creating this unlucky tactic was to allow our own superstars to get better singles opportunities, so even if Gasol's organizational talent is visible to the naked eye, it is difficult for him to get assists in the game.

Wang Shuo plans to design more high-post pick-and-roll tactics for Arenas and Gasol in the future. After all, he is not a head coach like Popovich who is not used to seeing his players' good game statistics.

Wang Shuo hopes that every player who conscientiously implements tactics on the field will receive the rewards they deserve, whether it is game data or personal honors.

After the game, Wang Shuo, who was waiting for Boss Qiao to finish taking a shower, attended the press conference with him.

The reporters who were already impatient asked Jordan: "Michael, this is your first game back after three years. Did you ever think before the game that you would get '50' in this game?"

"

Even Jordan, who is full of honors, is inevitably a little excited tonight. Looking at the reporters who asked him questions, he replied: "Everything that happened tonight, I just want to say it is unbelievable!

To be honest, just yesterday, I was still worried about whether my body could support me to finish this game.

But you also saw that this extremely wonderful thing just happened."

After a pause, Jordan continued: "I am very grateful to my teammates for their trust in me, and I am also very grateful to the coach for his encouragement. The 51 points I scored tonight is not due to me alone."

Although Wang Shuo always complained about Jordan's low emotional intelligence before, in fact, as long as you can make him see hope, his emotional intelligence will immediately become higher than anyone else.

During the Bulls period, Jordan was often involved in twisting ropes off the court.

Jordan played very well tonight, so he was very happy to share his joy with his teammates.

At the press conference, after asking Boss Qiao several questions in succession, the reporters turned the microphone to Wang Shuo, "Tonight is the first show of your coaching career. Before the game, the Wizards were not optimistic, but you are here."

We beat the Knicks by 20 points in the game, what do you think of this result?"

Wang Shuo pondered for two seconds and said: "I think except for Charles Barkley, no one will be dissatisfied with the result of this game."

Hearing this, the reporters were happy, secretly thinking that Wang Shuo and Barkley were now completely at odds.

"After the opening game, how do you think the team will perform in the following season?" reporters then asked.

Wang Shuo shrugged and said: "I am very optimistic about us. I have always believed that we will surprise the world in the new season."

"If you can maintain your performance tonight, what do you think your chances are of making it to the playoffs?" reporters asked.

As a team that was still "diving for the championship" last season, to be honest, if it weren't for Jordan's performance tonight, in the eyes of most people, the Wizards would have simply failed to reach the playoffs this season.

Talking about idiots.

"99.99%, there is still a 0.01% probability. I will give you an asteroid, because if an asteroid suddenly hits the earth, there is nothing I can do about it." Wang Shuo answered cautiously.

road.

reporter:"......"

Fuck!

Why are there such "obsessively confident" people in this world?

The reporters felt that they could not continue the conversation that day and decisively ended this pleasant interview.

The next day, Jordan's miracle in New York successfully engulfed all major sports newspapers and magazines in the United States.

Of course, while people did not hesitate to praise Jordan, they also discussed Wang Shuo's "99.99%".

Wang Shuo knows very well that the "extreme personality" he deliberately set up for himself is destined to become the focus of the NBA in the new season.

In the market, some people think that Wang Shuo has been dazzled by the victory.

Some people even complained directly, thinking that Wang Shuo was just taking advantage of Michael Jordan and didn't know what he could be proud of.

Because they had to prepare for an away game against the Hawks the next day, the Wizards did not choose to return to Washington. Instead, they flew to Atlanta directly after the game against the Knicks.

On the plane, the members of the coaching staff, who were originally worried that Wang Shuo would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion, felt relieved immediately after seeing the calm expression on his face.

Since the members of the coaching staff all knew that Wang Shuo was deliberately diverting the attention of the media in order to gain more room for growth for this young Wizards, the members of the Wizards' coaching staff were concerned about Wang Shuo's arrogant persona in front of others.

Here, no one is dissatisfied.

On the plane flying to Atlanta, looking at Hamilton who had been listening to music and not catching up on sleep, Wang Shuo sat directly next to him and said: "Richard, I have a question for you."

Seeing this, Hamilton quickly took off his headphones.

"I heard someone say that you have always wanted to endorse AJ. Is it true?" Wang Shuo asked.

Hamilton nodded.

"That's too bad. In my opinion, you are destined to never be the spokesperson for AJ in this life." Wang Shuo suddenly let out a long sigh and said.

Hamilton was very puzzled as to why Wang Shuo suddenly said this.

At this time, after taking out the tactical board from nowhere, Wang Shuo was reviewing the opening game between the Wizards and the Knicks and said to Hamilton: "Let me ask you, why are you able to score in these few attacks?"

Go around a little further to catch the ball, but in the end your choice is to go back around?"

Hamilton was stunned by Wang Shuo's question.

"I know that Michael is your idol, so you really want to create one-on-one mismatched singles opportunities for him. But Richard, have you ever thought... you are not helping him, but actually

Are you putting him in danger?" Wang Shuo then asked.

Continuing to fiddle with the tactical board, Wang Shuo added: "You are the most stable scoring point in this Wizards team besides Michael. But in the first game, you only took 5 shots.

Try to think about it, Richard, if I were the other team's head coach, how would I defend?"

Wang Shuo knew that after learning from the experience of the opening game, as long as the head coach of the Hawks was not an idiot, he would definitely make some targeted arrangements for the next game between the Wizards and the Hawks.

Wang Shuo doesn't want Hamilton to become a "Han who doesn't shoot" because he chases stars on the court.

Because then, no matter how good Hamilton's physical fitness is, he will no longer have the ability to open up space for Jordan.

In Wang Shuo's original time and space, why is the peak "splash" a pair of 11 greater than 2?

Because you don’t dare to let go of either of these two people, and you have to send someone to keep an eye on them.

But why don’t you dare to let go of either of these two people?

Isn't it because these two guys just throw it away when they don't agree with each other?

And the throw is pretty accurate.

On the plane, after being severely educated by Wang Shuo, Hamilton said to Wang Shuo: "Coach, I understand, I will definitely make changes in the next game and play a game that satisfies you!"

Wang Shuo shook his head and said: "It's not to satisfy me, but to satisfy yourself.

Richard, remember, pitchers can only make your opponents fearful if they throw more and accurately!"

As early as when the NBA just announced the schedule, Wang Shuo noticed that in the coming November, the only opponent the Wizards would have a slightly harder time beating was the Philadelphia 76ers.

I have to say that Stern really took care of Jordan like a brother.

In Wang Shuo's view, with such a good schedule, if the Wizards fail to grasp it in the end, what is the difference between it and Chris Paul, who always misses the ball at critical moments?

Wang Shuo knows very well that during this schedule, the Wizards must not only strive to play well, but also strive to win as much as possible.

Because if the Wizards really want to compete with the Lakers this season.

Then the Wizards must make good use of the current league structure of "weak in the east and strong in the west".

You know, the difficulty of winning 50 games in the Eastern Conference is not at the same level as in the Western Conference.

And what's more...

During this period, the Lakers still had a fine tradition of always enjoying the regular season?
