Michael Jordan also walked out of the player tunnel. Today is the Washington Wizards' home game against the Indiana Pacers. The league specially arranged a weak team for Jordan to practice his skills.
The media flocked to Washington like a pilgrim. "When the thunder sounded again, and when the colorful clouds surged into the sky, who would be the savior in golden armor? When I looked closely, I found that it was still the five hundred
Travelers from years ago.”
For senior fans, Jordan is the savior of the league, while for young new fans, Jordan is the god of war who descended from the legend.
However, only professional commentators know that this Wizards team is not as beautiful as it seems.
Starting last year, Jordan removed all three of the team's biggest stars within one year.
In the summer of 2000, he sent Rod Strickland to the Trail Blazers. In the spring of 2001, he sent Uncle Huo, who had not yet become an "uncle", to the Mavericks.
This summer, he sent Richmond to the Lakers again, and what he got in exchange was just a bunch of unfamiliar substitute players.
Then he changed the head coach to former Bulls coach Collins.
As a result, the Wizards had almost nothing except the second-year player Hamilton. People thought that Jordan was trying to free up salary space to recruit Chris Webber, but what they waited for was the arrival of Jordan himself.
Even though the timing of Jordan's appearance was perfect, he became a national hero.
But it doesn't affect the fact that the Wizards are a bad team.
All fans expect that after welcoming Jordan, the Wizards will take on a new look and become a competitive team.
Just like Jordan's first comeback,
Yelled: "Im back!"
The reality is always so skinny, and the skinny feeling makes people feel panic. The Wizards lost, and after halftime, the game was already 20 points behind without any suspense.
After Jordan scored 20 points on the court, he sat back on the bench with an ugly face.
"Kwame! Can you grab that damn rebound?"
Jordan lowered his voice to vent his dissatisfaction to the panicked Kwame Brown.
Jordan didn’t know that among all the rookies this year, except for Lu Yu, who he disliked, the No. 3 overall pick Pau Gasol, the fourth overall pick Tyson Chandler, and the fifth overall pick Jason Richardson,
Gerald Wallace, Tony Parker with the 28th overall pick, and even Mermit Okur in the second round... If you pick any of these people at random, not to mention that Jordan can achieve great things, at least he can have enough food and clothing.
.
But he chose Kwame Brown.
The biggest joke in draft history.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess Jordan's thoughts. In addition to the unexpected failure to trade for Elton Brand, there is another reason. When Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Tracy Mack
When high school players such as Grady began to dominate the league, it seemed logical to select a high school big man who seemed to be the most talented.
In fact, Kwame Brown was also considered excellent in high school. He averaged 20.1 points and 13.3 rebounds. He led the team to win 52 of 62 games in two seasons.
Okay, let’s just say this is a joke played by God on his son.
But no matter what, Mr. Qiao is going to go on the road alone.
But the first preseason game allowed the fanatical fans to regain their composure. Behind the fanaticism is often confusion. The first to calm down were some senior football commentators.
Having seen too many big scenes, they raised their concerns: Jordan is indeed a god, but that was several years ago. Now Jordan has no Pippen, no Rodman, no Jackson, no Bulls, and even
There is no decent helper, and more importantly, he is already 38 years old.
If Jordan like this can still dominate the league, it would be more of a tragedy for the NBA than a miracle for Jordan.
This game confirmed the worries of senior football analysts.
They vaguely guessed that in addition to the age factor, it seemed that Mr. Qiao's game was also affected by another factor - the change in the rules.
But the season has just begun, and everything remains to be verified.
Perhaps, it is not just Mr. Qiao who is affected...
…
Chicago Bulls United Center.
The oversized Jordan statue in the atrium area outside the arena was lined with fans who had not bought tickets and could only watch the big screen here.
At this time, the Bulls' starting roster appeared on the big screen.
Point Guard: Lu Yu
Shooting Guard: Fred Hoiberg
Small Forward: Ron Mercer
Power Forward: Marcus Fizer
Center: Brad Miller
In the end, Artest failed to squeeze into the starting lineup. Looking at Lu Yu, who had become the starting point guard, his eyes were full of reluctance.
We agreed to make angels with broken wings together, but why did you secretly bake them in oil?
The Grizzlies starting lineup is:
Point Guard: Jason Williams
Shooting Guard: Brevin Knight
Small Forward: Shane Battier
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Center: Lorenzen Wright
When Lu Yu saw Grizzlies center Lorenzen Wright standing on the court, he didn't remember who this person was at first. It wasn't until the on-site commentator introduced him that Lu Yu realized it.
This big center, who is considered handsome among black men, is a member of the famous 1996 Golden Generation Lottery Area like Iverson and Kobe Bryant.
He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the seventh overall pick in the first round.
After making a name for himself with the Clippers, Wright moved to the Hawks, Grizzlies, Kings and Cavaliers. It was during this season that Wright reached the peak of his career, averaging 12 points and 9.4 rebounds per game this season, and played against the Mavericks this year.
Grabbed 26 rebounds in a single game.
These are not the reasons why Lu Yu remembers him.
The reason Lu Yu could remember him was because Wright disappeared later, on July 19, 2010. At that time, some people suspected that "he might have suffered an accident." Ten days later, the Memphis police finally found him in a woods in the southern suburbs of the city.
His body was found.
rest in peace.
Although it is not appropriate to express such emotion to him on the court now, but...it will only happen sooner or later.
The worst thing is that he was killed by his wife.
Wright's wife filed for divorce, but the two had a dispute over the distribution of property, so his wife Shara had evil thoughts and shot her husband to death in the suburbs of Memphis.
His wife not only received property, but also received a $1 million insurance payout from Wright.
This is the consequence of the proliferation of guns.
Lu Yu thought of this, and then remembered that he still had two guns at home, and suddenly became a little scared. He turned to look at Anne sitting on the sidelines, hoping that Anne would stay calm.
Annie saw Lu Yu looking over and smiled sweetly.
"Annie, is Lu Yu usually such a warm-hearted man?" Charlize said with a smile.
Annie blushed pretty: "Yes, he is very good at taking care of people. I remember the first time I was asked by the crew to move things to their stadium, he gave me a clean towel... It's just weird sometimes, like this year
He gave me a scarf in the summer, maybe because he was worried about the strong wind in Chicago."
"very nice."
Charlize didn't know why, but suddenly felt lonely.
"What?" Annie was a little confused.
A smile immediately appeared on Charlize's face: "I mean, it's really good to have a boyfriend like this to take care of you."
"Uh-huh."
Annie nodded, then looked at Lu Yu who had already walked onto the court, with a deep sweetness on his face.
…
Among the Bulls' starting players, Hoiberg is a pure shooter.
The only problem is his defense, which is really unbearable.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies' shooting guards were mediocre this time, otherwise Lu Yuguang would have been very tired just trying to make up defense.
Generally speaking, Lu Yu quite likes to play with Hoiberg. At least he doesn't occupy the ball and has enough shooting ability.
But the other three…
They are still the core players of this team. When working with them in the training camp these two months, Lu Yu felt a little uncomfortable.
Because they like to ask for the ball too much.
And Lu Yu had a feeling that the three of them seemed to be competing for the leadership of the team.
But except for Brad Miller, the other two don’t seem to be qualified?
When Brad Miller saw Lu Yu walking onto the court, he smiled sweetly at Lu Yu, as if he were meeting his first girlfriend. He was always very nice to Lu Yu in the past, but today he was extra nice.
Lu Yu felt funny for a while: "Forget it, since you are so friendly to me, I will help you get to the top first."
