Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 290 Jordan's Teammates

"Then go to hell!"

The two big brothers have already spoken, Wang Hao naturally will not refuse, and also readily agreed to go all out.

Michael Jordan is just an old hooligan, he has long been tired of it.

Danzi, please be blessed!

To be honest, Wang Hao is not surprised at what Gary Payton and Patrick Ewing did.

If we talk about Jordan in the eyes of younger generations, he is the god of basketball and the greatest star in the NBA.

To put it bluntly, all of this has a filter.

Because of Jordan's achievements, because of Jordan's achievements, this makes the latecomers must worship him.

But as a star of the same era, I really don't have much affection for Jordan.

At most, they admit that Jordan has some strengths. Besides, among these people, Jordan is simply useless.

Talking trash on and off the field, trying to pretend all the time...

In the past, Jordan was very strong (not necessarily admitted), and the Bulls were very strong (this is the main thing).

Now that the Bulls are gone and replaced by a big Wizards team, this is a chance for revenge!
Can such an opportunity be missed?

Gary Payton, Ewing: Of course not!

"That's not good?"

Suddenly, there was another figure whispering, although it was very soft, everyone still heard it.

Looking back, it was Quentin Richardson.

Well, this is also Jordan's little fan, after all, he is the god of basketball and the idol of a generation.

Especially players of this age basically grew up watching Jordan's games.

This is especially true of Quentin Richardson.

In the new season, I heard that Wang Hao participated in the Jordan training camp, which made Quentin Richardson envious.

He has also been looking forward to the game against the Wizards for a long time.

Looking at Quentin Richardson, Wang Hao was also a little speechless, little brother, don't you understand why it is a substitute?
With this power of observation, I can't see the situation clearly!

Didn't you see Wang Hao standing back immediately?why is that?Is it because of Gary Payton and Ewing?
Yes, it is not!
You know, what Gary Payton and Ewing have settled on now is the tone of this game!

Is anyone qualified to decide this tone?

Of course not, otherwise, why do you need a head coach?
The head coach didn't speak and let Gary Payton and Ewing decide. Why?
This is the default!
As for the reason, let's take a look at Jordan's first three consecutive championships. Who made the stepping stone?
The final opponent at the time, the Bulls faced the Suns with Kevin Johnson and Charles Barkley.

At that time, the head coach of this team was called Paul Westphal, don't you understand?

When the game started, players from both sides entered the field, looking at the old hooligan on the opposite side, Wang Hao could only observe a minute of silence for him.

At the beginning of the game, facing the younger Kwame Brown, PJ Brown failed to grab the ball.

Just looking at this jump ball, you can see that Kwame Brown's athletic talent is really not bad.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end.

Many people put the blame on Jordan, which is unreasonable. After all, Jordan's trash talk is quite ruthless.

It's just that it's definitely not okay to blame Jordan entirely.

In the NBA, among all positions, the most basic skill test is actually the center position.

In the 90s, or even the 80s, very few centers made it to the NBA after four years of college.

Because at that time, their skills were not polished enough to adapt to the NBA game.

And if you can't adapt to the NBA game, you will be abandoned soon, because the NBA is a business league.

In the history of the NBA, there have been many players who were talented but did not play.

Everyone knows they have talent, so why is no one willing to give him time?

Is that nonsense?

There are too many talented players, not this year, isn't there next year, or even the year after?

Spend time nurturing?
It's better to pick another one!
Chris Whitnett took the ball, dribbled it through half court, and passed it straight to Jordan without delay.

That's right, his position is not a point guard, but a dribbling guard, a guard who dribbles across the half court.

Old Fish Fisher: I know this!

Jordan held the ball, and Gary Payton stepped up immediately. Yes, the old guy took the initiative to apply for the game.

Paul Westphal thought for a while and agreed.

The main reason is that in the Supersonic lineup, Wang Hao is the strongest defensive gate on the front line.

It's just that, as the core of the team, he needs to participate more in offense and become a tough attacker.

At this time, if he is allowed to face the opponent's core perimeter, it will only increase Wang Hao's physical energy consumption.

This is something Paul Westphal absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, at this time, someone needs to share the pressure for Wang Hao. Ruben Patterson last season and Quentin Richardson this season are just like this.

Not only that, sometimes, even Gary Payton has to give Wang Hao a head.

As for Wang Hao, in the second half, when the opponent's physical strength is almost exhausted, he will make a move.

This is also the only change this season.

If it was changed to last season, facing the opponent's core attacker, Wang Hao must be the first to step up.

Originally, Paul Westphal wanted Michael Reid and Quentin Richardson to kill the old hooligans first.

It's just that it's better for Gary Payton to volunteer now, after all, Gary Payton's defensive strength lies there.

"Yo ho, Gary, are you so aggressive? Don't you think you can stop me now?"

The old hooligan was still so blunt, and the way he spoke was still so arrogant and underwhelming.

Who is Gary Payton?That is also a little hooligan, a mouthful of trash talk, and even more unforgiving.

This can make Kidd cry.

But now, facing Jordan, Gary Payton has a serious face, and he has no intention of fighting back.

There is no way, on the basketball court, trash talking is the monopoly of the strong, and the weak are not worthy of it.

As for being like a certain hard special, it's hard and dirty, there's no way!

Jordan also saw that the little brother was very serious, and he also became interested. Facing Gary Payton, he directly threatened Gary Payton with the ball.

After determining the situation and position on the court, Jordan directly started playing back singles.

And at this time, everyone in the Wizards had their chances stretched to near the bottom line.

That's right, it's lined up like this, allowing Jordan to play singles.

One step outside the free throw line, taking advantage of his weight and height, Jordan easily gained shot space.

A very direct fadeaway jumper, Gary Payton tried his best to interfere, but found it a little out of reach.

"Shh!"

"Gary, is it because I retired and no one put pressure on you? Your defense sucks.

Work harder, maybe in the next game, you will have a chance to guard against Michael Jordan. "

If it was a few years ago, Gary Payton would have been angry.

Of course, even now, he is also very angry.

It's just that Gary Payton ignored Jordan, but quickly turned around to catch the ball.

That's right, at the moment of the goal, PJ Brown had already picked up the ball and served it.

Facing Gary Payton, Jordan retreated unhurriedly, but at this moment, he suddenly saw.

After receiving the ball, Gary Payton threw the ball with one hand without any delay.

When Jordan turned his head, he saw that Wang Hao had already got rid of Bobby Simmons and rushed out.

I have to say that Gary Payton's pass was very comfortable. After receiving the ball, Wang Hao took three steps directly.

"boom!"

With a powerful tomahawk dunk, Wang Hao opened the scoring for the Supersonics and evened the score.

2:2
"Michael, if you want to win, you have to work harder, this is not possible!"

Gary Payton will naturally not let go of the opportunity to talk trash.

Jordan frowned, and glanced directly at Bobby Simmons, making the rookie tremble with fright.

It's just that it's a bit unrealistic to let him face Wang Hao first and defend Wang Hao down.

The game continued, still Jordan's high post singles.

It's just that Gary Payton is not a vegetarian, and keeps interfering with Jordan.

Moreover, his interference obviously had an effect. This time, Jordan's shot failed to score.

In terms of protecting rebounds, the Sonics have always done a good job.

After all, only rebounds can guarantee a counterattack. It can be said that rebounds are the foundation of quick offensive and defensive transitions.

Kristen Laettner was stopped by PJ Brown. As for Kwame Brown, he couldn't beat Lewis in the card position.

Wang Hao easily picked off the rebound and speeded up immediately.

When he crossed the half court in three steps, he quickly gave the ball to Gary Payton, who was going down quickly on the left.

It's just that, at this time, Jordan has already watched Gary Payton to death.

Gary Payton did not choose to hit Jordan hard, although he wanted to, but, after all, this is not his strong point.

What's more, through the two rounds of defense just now, he can also feel that Jordan is in a very good state.

Others, after retiring for two years, may have been useless.

But if this person is Michael Jordan, everything is possible, after all, he has done this kind of thing once.

However, after changing for a while, suddenly, Gary Payton made another move. He raised his hand and threw the ball directly near the basket.

But at this time, Bobby Simmons was squeezed away by Wang Hao again, and went straight to the inside.

When Gary Payton's pass flew near the basket, Wang Hao had already rushed there, and then jumped high.

"boom!"

It was another alley-oop, and the Sonics overtook the score.

4:2
This is the Wizards. The offense is all directed at Jordan alone. As for the defense, it is even more random.

"It seems that it is not very difficult to take away this victory!"

Looking at Gary Payton, who was a little shy, Jordan's emotions became a little more ups and downs, and his eyes became more and more unfriendly.

In addition to Jordan, there is another person who has ups and downs, yes, it is Patrick Ewing.

Although he couldn't hear what Gary Payton and Jordan said, it's just that, watching the interaction between the two, he could guess it.

Why is it not me who pretends to be aggressive in front of Jordan?
The Wizards' offensive round, this time, Jordan did not ask for the ball from the outside, but came to the low post.

Yes, here, he is more sure.

Whitney saw that Jordan was calling the shots in the low post, and didn't dare to delay. He quickly passed the ball and completed his dribble guard duties.

Seeing Jordan catch the ball, Gary Payton wanted to interfere, but unfortunately, his hands were a bit short.

It can also be said that today's Jordan is thicker, and it is really not so easy to interfere.

To actually target the old gangster, it is naturally impossible for him to play singles too comfortably, so Wang Hao's double-teaming is in place.

That's right, because Gary Payton took the initiative to defend Jordan, Wang Hao simply switched defenses with him and faced Chris Whitney.

Wang Hao's double-teaming was very quick. It can be said that before Whitney passed the ball to Jordan, he was already moving.

It's just that, even so, Jordan failed to grab the ball.

The old hooligan, who was almost 40 years old, jumped up abruptly, making it impossible for Wang Hao and Gary Payton to reach the ball.

Jumped into the air, looked again, and then handed the ball to Whitney at the point guard.

Chris Whitney, nearly half of his career points come from three-pointers.

Therefore, despite his obscurity, there is a reason why he was chosen to partner with Jordan.

In addition to Jordan's singles, after Jordan attracts double-teams, it is also the main tactic of the Wizards.

What Whitney needs to do at this time is to throw the ball in.

If it is replaced by someone else, or another team, it will naturally allow him to shoot safely.

After all, in this case, it is almost impossible for Jordan to pass the ball, and it is already a big open.

However, it is Wang Hao who is defending him now!
Wang Hao has become a leader in defense by virtue of his wide range of movement and quick replay.

I saw him taking three steps and making two steps at the same time, and he actually rushed in front of Whippet.

Whippet didn't dare to be careless and shot quickly.

Although there is no more preparation time, it's just that the rhythm of the shot is still very good.

Wang Hao already, it was a little too late, and it was still a big step away, so he immediately jumped up and stretched his arms to intercept.

Seeing this scene, Whippet was a little proud: After taking such a big step, you still want to block me?What are you thinking?

"despair!"

However, just as the basketball flew out in a very standard parabola, suddenly there was a sound that was not loud, but very crisp.

That's right, Wang Hao touched the ball and blocked the shot with his fingertips.

The Whippets are stupid, no, I've already thrown the ball at such a distance, can this still block shots?

It's a pity that although Whippet was stunned, no one had time to explain to him.

Because at this time, the basketball that was intercepted fell down again after flying high.

Wang Hao held the ball firmly at the first time, and rushed out without any delay.

Whitnet didn't react and could only let Wang Hao rush out.

Jordan was dumbfounded. What kind of teammates are these? Are you playing me?
He roared in his heart, but the old hooligan gritted his teeth and rushed out to stop Wang Hao.

I have to say that at such an advanced age, both explosive power and speed are still very good.

Because he was worried about Wang Hao's direct breakthrough, Jordan kept a certain distance from Wang Hao.

In this way, the two rushed from the three-point line in one half to the three-point line in the other half in a very short time.
