253 Mist
In the 2001-2002 season, there were two most memorable things in the NBA.

One is Michael Jordan announcing his comeback with the Washington Wizards.

At that time, the entire United States was in a frenzy, and the Wizards' home court was packed, and everyone wanted to see the best player in history.

After all, Jordan is old, and the fans will continue to focus on those young superstars once the freshness of the fans is over.

比如拿下得分王的特雷西·麦克格雷迪、场均20+10+5+2+1的铁血全能战士凯文·加内特、无视地心引力的加拿大飞人文斯·卡特等等。

The other is the Lakers three consecutive championships.

This is the first time after the Bulls Dynasty that a team has won the championship for three consecutive years and created a dynasty.

What is even more surprising is that Kobe and O'Neal are not very old, and they have the possibility of winning four consecutive championships.

History is beckoning ahead, but this pair of the best duo in the world has frequent conflicts.

The opening of the new season is tonight, and the Chicago Bulls are sharpening their swords.

McGrady has conducted special training on offense with the ball in the summer, which makes people look forward to his offensive ability in the new season.

As for Bai Jidong, he has been almost forgotten.Last season, he continued to weaken his scoring, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists per game, crowned the league's assist leader, and was once again selected to the second team of the best team and the first team of the best defensive team.

Careful fans compared the data of Bai Jidong and McGrady, and concluded that Bai Jidong is Pippen with more assists, and McGrady is Jordan.

The call to support McGrady as the Bulls' No. [-] player is getting louder and louder.

At the beginning of the season, Bulls coach Floyd will be absent indefinitely due to physical illness, and the Bulls' meritorious veteran Bill Cartwright will act as the acting head coach.

"Tracey is our core, we need to attack around him, you know?" Cartwright emphasized before the game.

Hearing this, Jerome's face changed, "Coach, Tracy has always been our end point, and Bye is our starting point."

"Yes, Bye is also the core." Cartwright smiled, "Bye, you need to cooperate with Tracy a lot."

"Of course, I don't have any problems with Tracy." Bai Jidong said flatly.

McGrady called everyone together: "Get ready to play."

"Okay!" LaFrentz replied.

This is the fourth year of LaFrentz's career. His skills have been finalized. Although he has not developed into a star, he is also an indispensable inside pillar for the Bulls.

As a second-round pick, Jerome stood out from the Bulls' inside group, relying on hard work.

He wants to get a big contract. He averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds in the semifinals of the playoffs last season, which made him quite inflated. When the contract was renewed during the offseason, the Lions opened their mouths.

If it weren't for Bai Jidong's persuasive persuasion for half a month, he would definitely switch jobs to the New York Knicks.

Bai Jidong was the only reason Jerome stayed.

Walking to the court, Jerome said indignantly to Cartwright's words just now: "Is that old guy's head in the water? Even if you ask someone who doesn't know basketball, you know that the core of Chicago is you."

"That's not necessarily true." Bai Jidong said: "The coach's words are also reasonable. Tracy is indeed better than me in some aspects."

I don't know when, Bai Jidong no longer called Mai Di as "Mai", but called him by his first name.

Anyone who is familiar with Bai Jidong knows that if he gives you a nickname but doesn't, it only means that the two of you are not familiar with each other.

The opponent of the Bulls is the Celtics. Both teams have glorious histories, but the Celtics have been silent for many years.

Since Bird retired, the Celtics seem to be cursed.

Ren Bias, who claimed to be comparable to Jordan, died suddenly of a drug overdose. The team's ace Reggie Lewis suddenly collapsed in a training game, and it was later found that he died suddenly of a heart problem.

To this day, the Celtics once again form a team that can break into the playoffs. They are led by Paul Pierce and Antawn Walker.

Compared with the quality of star players, the Bulls are obviously better. Both Bai Jidong and Tracy McGrady are stars of the best team level.

Celtics center Tony Batty was the first to dial the ball, and the ball fell into Pierce's hands. The player Jordan called "the culprit of my comeback" was alone in the field, trying to break the Bulls' front .

Bai Jidong quickly wound up, interrupting Pierce's advance, "11, don't even think about it." "Don't fucking call me 11!" Pierce murmured.

The reason for calling Pierce 11 is simple, because he was stabbed 1999 times in 11.

O'Neill called him Truth, and Bai Jidong felt that this nickname was too lofty to talk trash, so he changed it to 11. Pierce hated this, and announced to the outside world that he and Bai Jidong were at odds.

Pierce really wanted to teach Bai Jidong a lesson, but he couldn't break through Bai Jidong's defense, so in a hurry, he passed the ball to Walker's direction.

Bai Jidong laughed loudly: "Brother 11, you think the fat baldy is only [-] meters tall to catch him!"

"He can!" Pierce gritted his teeth.

"Certainly not, the fat bald man will never catch it." Bai Jidong said.

As Bai Jidong said, Antoine Walker jumped up to catch the ball, "It's too high!" McGrady followed closely behind, stretched his long arms, received the ball, and then rode his horse and whip, and made a fast break forward.

Bai Jidong and Jay Williams split left and right, making a fast break in the third line.

McGrady gave him the ball, and then followed the middle and went straight to the basket.

Bai Weidong counted his steps and threw his hands. McGrady stepped on the paint and jumped up. He caught Bai Weidong's pass with his back to the basket, and made a bottom-up drawbar with both hands behind his back.

For such an offense, the Celtics can only hold a candle to it.

"About talent, we can see all the interpretations in this offense. Tracy is showing us talent unscrupulously! Let's be crazy!" Knight, who served as the commentator, said.His partner is Big Mouth Kenny Smith.

Smith's evaluation of McGrady's lob pullback dunk is: "Tracey should participate in the dunk contest again, and I believe he can win it."

Bai Jidong said to Pierce: "I'm not wrong, you missed the ball."

"It was an accident," Pierce said. "Accidents happen only once, and what happens next is 'truth.'"

"You don't really regard yourself as the truth, do you?" Bai Jidong didn't expect him to be so arrogant, "I want to see what the truth is like."

Celtics guard Tony Delk pins Jay Williams.Just like an adult hitting a child, Delk hit Williams with no pressure on his back.

Williams was pushed away, and Delk was about to attack, but a shadow shrouded him behind him.

When Delk reacted, the ball had been blocked.

"Nice defense, Bye!" Knight yelled.

Smith sighed: "He may be more powerful on the defensive end than Scott was."

"I always feel that Bye is different from Scott, and his role is much bigger than Scott." Knight said.

Smith nodded and said, "That's right, Bye has to find a way of playing that suits him, and he's still figuring it out."

The Celtics served again, Walker received the ball from the outside, held McGrady and went straight to the basket.

LaFrentz jumped out and covered Walker's ball.His shot blocking is very powerful, but he is prone to fouls because his movements are too aggressive.

This time he was fouled again, and Bai Jidong pointed to his head and said, "Reeve, use your brain to defend!" "Yes!" LaFrentz was most afraid of Bai Jidong.

McGrady smiled and said, "Reeve, thank you for helping me defend. This time it was my fault."

"You're welcome, this is my duty." In contrast, LaFrentz prefers the approachable McGrady.

Jerome looked on coldly, "Reeve, I should be the one who helped defend just now. If Anthony passes the ball, I can't help you defend." "I will pay attention next time." LaFrentz said.

"Tracey, wait a moment and let you take control of the situation." Cartwright suddenly issued an order.

Bai Jidong was stunned and didn't say anything. Walker made two free throws, and Bai Jidong and Pierce ran forward together.

McGrady dribbled the ball from the backcourt and mobilized others to move like Bai Jidong.

McGrady saw that there were no chances around him, he swayed back and forth on his crotch, and slammed Walker up with one hand, broke into the three-point line and then quickly retreated. The three-point shot pierced the basket like a sharp arrow that killed thousands of miles.

The United Center cheered McGrady's goal.

McGrady's popularity in Chicago is no less than that of Bai Jidong. At least from an offensive point of view, he is more suitable to succeed Jordan than Bai Weidong.

"Yes! That's it!" Cartwright yelled, "Tracey, keep up the momentum, I believe you can do better!"

"I will work hard!" McGrady did not expect Cartwright to trust himself so much.

Bai Jidong silently ran to the side and followed Pierce.

Bai Jidong's silence made Pierce very surprised, "Why don't you talk?" "You want to hear me?" Bai Jidong asked.

"I don't want to." Pierce caught the ball and passed Bai Jidong with three threats, and missed a jumper.

In Pierce's view, Bai Jidong is the strongest defensive player in the league.

Pierce has never seen anyone who can restrict him like Bai Jidong.

If you have the shooting touch, it is impossible to break through Bai Jidong's defense.

Bai Jidong will not give you a comfortable shooting opportunity, unless you have the domineering shooting skills to shoot against the defender, otherwise it will be very embarrassing for the attacker.

what should I do?Bai Jidong has never been so confused.

He was once the darling of Chicago, but now he is in an awkward position.Many people think he is McGrady's roadblock.

Attacking, defending, Bai Jidong can do it all.He wants to please everyone.

Nothing is perfect in the world, if he wants to take care of one, he has to neglect that.

Some people want him to open and close and dominate the game like Jordan.Some people hope that he will strategize and make individuals and teams reach the extreme like a magician.Some people even hope that he will retreat to the second line like Pippen and assist McGrady to achieve dominance.

"What else do I need to do?" Bai Jidong didn't know, he had attacked without hesitation, and played the ball selflessly, but none of them succeeded, and now he was completely confused.
