The Fifth Point Guard

When warming up, Shen Tong was a little surprised.

The Continental Arena is packed!

The level of grand occasion was unprecedented, especially on the day of the opening match.

Take a closer look, many people in the audience are wearing the blue and white Wizards No. 23 jersey and the classic red and black Bulls No. 23 jersey.

Another half.

Michael Jordan was chewing gum while warming up and shooting, joking with his teammates from time to time.

"Michael, I love you!"

"Michael, welcome back to the NBA."

Jefferson approached Shen Tong: "Dude, why do I feel like I'm playing away from home?"

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

Mark Lodge, Martin, Van Horn, Kidders, 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, and will not deprive them of playing time and development space.

Therefore, Jordan himself asked to sit on the bench, and put the No. 1 pick Kwame Brown on the bench, waiting to play with him.

The starting center of the Wizards is named Brandon Heywood, the 20th rookie in the first round.

He is 2.13 meters tall and was born in the big city of New York.

Why did Haywood start as soon as the Wizards came?

This is not unrelated to the withering of the Wizards inside.

And Haywood's basketball level is really good, after all, he is a first-round pick.

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

Same alma mater as Jordan.

Ok.

Power forward was originally preset for Kwame Brown, and everyone knew that this position would belong to Brown sooner or later.

But due to the on-the-spot guidance that Jordan hopes, Brown is not yet suitable for starting.

So the lucky guy Jahidi White got to start.

White, who is 2.06 meters tall, 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. He is considered a very efficient player.

Starting small forward.

Wait, it turned out to be this guy!

Bobby Simmons!

Isn't this the guy who was repaired by Shen Tong in the training camp?

Simmons met a good time.

The Wizards really don't seem to be available.

After being selected by Seattle with the 13th overall pick in the second round, Simmons immediately came to the Wizards through a trade.

Then he was entrusted with reuse by Qiao Dan, who had a keen eye.

Richard Hamilton, finally a qualified starter.

Hamilton, who is 1.98 meters tall and wears the No. 32 jersey, has high hopes from Jordan.

In his second grade, Hamilton averaged 18.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Has a very stable mid-range shot.

The running on the court is very frequent, and he is very good at taking advantage of the gaps in the pick-and-roll to score.

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

He is also a player that Shentong needs to watch carefully.

At the position of point guard, a veteran will hold the line.

Chris Whitney is 1.83 meters tall.

The player who spent the early part of his career with the Spurs performed conscientiously on the court, completed the tactics assigned by the coach, was calm and rarely made mistakes.

A field-controlling player that coaches like.

Judging from the starting lineup of the Wizards, it is not wrong to be reduced to the Eastern Conference.

It is really surprising that this lineup can make it to the playoffs.

Shen Tong, who was sitting on the bench, saw Simmons start.

"Damn it, Bobby Simmons is actually a starter." Shen Tong couldn't help complaining.

"Come up~~" Simmons ticked his fingers at his friend sitting on the bench.

Damn!

Go up in a while to see if I don't kill you.

Jefferson smiled.

"At least $500 is still there."

Shentong's wonderful performance in the first game made Jefferson think that he would lose the money first.

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

Shen Tong glanced at the Wizards bench.

Jordan sat on the bench.

Ok.

At least the same treatment as Jordan.

The game was broadcast live by TNT TV station as a studio signal.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Before the game, Barkley looked very excited.

Smith laughed and said, "Why, seeing old acquaintances, I can't sit still?"

Barkley said with a smile: "I haven't watched him play for a long time. It's a pity that the last Wizards vs. New York was not broadcast on TNT."

Smith: "It's rare to see you value a player so much. Was it because you were completely convinced by Michael when you were a player?"

Barkley shook his head and said, "Everyone knows I'm the best player in the world. But Jordan, well, that guy is not from Earth."

Smith's eyes widened, and he said with a smile, "It seems that Big Mouth can be honest sometimes."

"Hehe." Buckley let out a contemptuous laugh, and retorted, "Kenny, don't say that, I hate those people with big mouths who talk endlessly, fortunately, I have never been that kind of person."

Smith spread his hands and said with a smile: "Well, Charles, you really know yourself."

Buckley raised his eyebrows, and said without shame: "Of course, you have to be confident. For example, I think I am the most handsome man in the world, and that is indeed the case."

Barkley's expression at the moment: ()

Smith: "Are you sure?"

Barkley hesitated, then replied: "Well, I'm the second most handsome, maybe George Clooney is just a little bit more handsome than me, just a little bit."

Smith: "Hey Charles, a fan made a poem for you in the chat room of our stream, do you want to listen to it?"

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

Over there Smith has spoken.

"Naturally born with supernatural powers, I can't give up on myself. I have a round head, a round brain and a round butt; I'm a gatekeeper for the restricted area. Look at me, Flying Pig Barkley!"

"Charles, it seems that's the real impression you made on the fans."

Barkley: ─━_─━

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

Martin did not fall behind in the jump ball with Haywood, but the Wizards still got the ball first.

"Defend, defend!"

The fan atmosphere at Continental Arena is very warm.

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

high speed.

He even ran back to the field from the bottom line.

Kidders, who defended Hamilton, did not keep up.

Under the cover of Heywood, Hamilton got a chance to make a calm shot.

Raise the ball and score.

Straightforward, not sloppy at all.

Very simple bottom-line pick-and-roll tactic.

But it was executed very resolutely.

Shen Tong knows that Hamilton is the object he needs to learn from.

Especially running on the pitch.

Van Horn's breakthrough was intercepted by Simmons!

Wizards fast break!

Hamilton held the ball against Kidd's defense and made a layup, which also caused Kidd's foul.

Additional penalty hit.

0-5

The Nets didn't get off to a smooth start.

Barkley in the live broadcast room shook his head and said: "Byron Scott and his players need to re-examine this Wizards team, with Jordan's Wizards."
