Chapter 86 Have You Played Professionally?

However, when Del Harris was about to speak, Jordan's move attracted him.

At this time, Jordan was sitting on the bench, shoulder to shoulder with Wang Xiaohui.

He was talking about something face-to-face.

Harris approached quietly, and heard the conversation of body hair——

"Wang, you can't play like this! You are a young man, how can you play so timidly? Seriously, I really don't need you to accommodate me! You should know that the game is not for one person. Tell the truth , I am clear that I am no longer in peak form, and I don’t need so many ball possessions. The whole world wants to watch me play, I admit this. However, my personal performance does not Can be above the team's victory. So, I need you, and Richard, you all play your own things for me! To be honest, you enter the NBA to play for yourself. If In the next season, if you all compete like this, then, it will be yourselves who will be harmed in the end!..."

Hearing this, Del Harris suddenly cut off his previous thoughts,

"Ok?"

Del Harris choked back what he was going to say.

He didn't say anything, and didn't make adjustments or arrangements for the players' games, but just quietly waited aside.

He was waiting for Jordan to continue teaching Wang Xiaohui.

The atmosphere on the sidelines was solemn, Wang Xiaohui didn't say anything, just looked at Jordan like that.

On the side, the expressions on Richard Hamilton's faces also became a little different.

What Jordan said surprised them.

At this time, no one spoke, only Jordan himself came.

Jordan suddenly smiled on his serious face,
"Or, you little guys, were you scared by the vicious big shark on the opposite side? So, you are like elementary school students who have been bullied, and you went home to find your father?"

"No! Of course not!"

Jordan is quite everyone's father, and Wang Xiaohui was the first to disagree.

Wang Xiaohui is naturally clear about what Jordan said.

He knew what he was doing.

Today, he just wants fans all over the world to see Jordan and satisfy the wishes of fans all over the world.

However, he doesn't really want to give up all the performance opportunities.

In the words of Pierce mocking Jordan before, 'This is the time of our young people. '

Although the old guy Jordan is back, Wang Xiaohui has his own ambitions.

Seeing Jordan smiling like this, Wang Xiaohui couldn't live up to his kindness.

"Since you have said so, then, I have no choice but to start a killing spree."

"hen~"

Massacre?
This phrase is really fierce, but Jordan smiled lightly and did not forget to pat him on the shoulder.

Young people are young people, they can do everything and speak so confidently.

However, thinking about his rookie season when he entered the Bulls, why was Jordan himself not so proud?

"Come on, boy, kill them!"

"Ah."

After hearing these conversations between the two, Del Harris finally decided that Jordan would not leave.

Although Jordan's presence on the court will affect Wang Xiaohui, the overall condition of the Wizards is still good, and the competitiveness is still acceptable.

If Wang Xiaohui is replaced, who will replace him?
Davis?Alexander?Bobby Simmons?Tyronn Lou?

In fact, Harris did not have a good choice.

So he comforted himself:
'Then look again, look again. '

.

beep!
The game between the two teams started again.

During the previous period, the two sides mainly focused on the inside line and were constantly colliding.

After this timeout, the situation of the game changed.

It seems to be a certain arrangement of the coaches of both sides, or the tacit understanding of the players, the focus on the court suddenly focuses on the outside.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, the ball went to Kobe Bryant.

For the Washington Wizards, it was surprising that the ball was not in the hands of Michael Jordan, but in Wang Xiaohui's hands.

After so many rounds of attacking and defending back and forth, this time, it was finally Wang Xiaohui's turn to attack.

What people didn't expect was that this would be a duel between Wang Xiaohui and Kobe.

The god of basketball, Michael Jordan, deliberately moved to the wing position in the halfcourt. He actually created space for the young people of the team and gave Wang Xiaohui a more outstanding opportunity to perform.

It's just that this opportunity doesn't come often. If Wang Xiaohui fails to seize it, then Jordan will naturally not sit idly by.

The stadium is like this, if you don't perform well when you are given a chance, who can be blamed?

On the field, Wang Xiaohui started to move!

Breakthrough, breakthrough, Wang Xiaohui's choice is breakthrough!

Since the start of the preseason, everyone has been very sensitive to breakthroughs, and they are extremely familiar with the referee's whistle.

In the league, so many stars have suffered from this rule, this young man should also fall into the trap, right?

The fans at the scene were waiting for Wang Xiaohui to make a mistake.

However, no!
Originally, many people thought that the core foot rules would limit Wang Xiaohui's performance today, but judging from Wang Xiaohui's performance on the court, there is no such thing at all!

Breakthrough, isn't it that simple?

If you want to break through, you can break through, and break through as you want.

Rules have no effect on Wang Xiaohui at all.

On the contrary, Fisher and Kobe, who rotated to defend Wang Xiaohui, were deflated several times.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Wang Xiaohui made three consecutive hits with his best emergency stop jumper.

Wang Xiaohui's sudden outburst naturally aroused Kobe's dissatisfaction.

Stealing the limelight is what Kobe does best.When is it someone else's turn to do this on top of their IDE?
Kobe, not to be outdone, will also start to respond.

Every basketball move of Kobe Bryant is almost "exactly the same" as that of the old hooligan Jordan. It looks picturesque, pleasing to the eye, and refreshing.

On the court, watching Kobe's performance so closely, Wang Xiaohui also had to admit that Kobe was really good.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohui has seen Kobe's route, and Kobe is improving every year.When the Lakers won three consecutive championships, Kobe would not relax himself every year.His movements are indeed imitating Jordan, and in the past few years, Kobe's movements have become closer and closer to Jordan.

After these two consecutive championships, Kobe's self-confidence and skills have been greatly improved in many aspects.His progress is really very obvious. As long as every season is after the offseason and the new season starts, he can always give people new surprises.

"Wang, well played!"

"Kobe, show that kid, who is the star! Who is the champion?!"

Many fans at the scene praised the two young people. Of course, many people had to sigh: Michael Jordan is really old.

Being able to give up his own offensive opportunities and take the initiative to open up space for his teammates, such Jordan is really old.

Jordan on the court, obviously, his offensive possessions are very, very much less.

Moreover, every offensive opportunity Jordan has, he is very reasonable.

His choices are done in the most labor-saving way.

Open catch and shoot, this is his effort-saving method.

Facing the defensive situation of the Lakers, Jordan's choice is very simple, just pass it on!
And when the Wizards were playing fast break, Jordan actually didn't run too slowly, but even if he got the ball, his choice is generally to focus on his teammates.It is possible to save some effort, and let those young people do the unnecessary effort.And even if Jordan had a chance in the fast break, his choice was a very safe layup.

However, when everyone laments that Michael Jordan is really old, everyone can't help but admire how efficient the old hooligan is on the court.

Although Jordan doesn't have the extreme arrogance of the last century, every attack, every touch, and every screen of the old hooligan can actually maximize the team's efficiency.

On the court, the old hooligan used his most concise moves to complete the Wizards' attacks again and again.

Old people, even among young men who are so talented, he is not at all sloppy.

This, perhaps, is our god.

And this can only be our god Michael Jordan.

Back in the game.

On the field, under the excellent leadership of several waves of offense by Wang Xiaohui, the Washington Wizards played the offensive rhythm that the Wizards should have in the second half of the second quarter. Soon, they caught up with the lagging score go up.

the game continues,

The Lakers Purple and Gold Corps, the OK combination's combination of inside and outside offense is still fierce, and the Wizards' defense really can't stop it completely.

However, it doesn't matter. The Wizards' offense is the same, very strong. For Wang Xiaohui's pull-up jumper, Hamilton's open catch and shot, and Jordan's low singles from time to time, the Lakers have nothing to do.

Neither of the two sides can reflect on the other. In this way, the two sides seem to have given up their defense. When they met, they fought against each other, and the two sides fought hard!

The confrontation between the two sides was very intense.Their respective scores have been clenched tightly all the time, and no one should think about leaving the other side behind.

Beep beep beep!
With Fisher missing a long shot from the backcourt, the first half was over.

53-54
The Lakers, playing at home, took a slight lead and entered the second half with a 1-point advantage.

In the commentary booth off the court, the three TNT commentators were in different moods at this time.

This half of the game more or less exceeded their respective expectations.

Kenny Smith was the first to stand up.

"Wow, this game is indeed a program group that everyone is looking forward to. This first half is so exciting. You two, do you have anything to say about this game?"

Ernie Johnson spoke first.

"The Lakers, I have always supported the Lakers, and at the end of the halftime, it was the Lakers who led the score. Kobe and Shaq had a mediocre start today, but after entering the second quarter, their performances were very exciting. I knew they would definitely stand up. With this momentum going on, the two of you will be in danger in the second half."

This guy is also a little bit proud.

Barkley was naturally very dissatisfied, and immediately responded.

"It's true that the Lakers led by 1 point, but what I saw was that the Lakers led by 10 points but were tied by the Wizards. The hero of the Wizards is the No. 13 pick, Wang! The most outstanding player in the Wizards When it was difficult, Wang, a newcomer, stood up. When Kristen and other insiders were troubled by fouls, and when Michael Jordan was tired and needed to rest, Wang, this year's rookie, stood up and took the initiative. Undertook the team's scoring responsibility. Many young people actually have such opportunities, but not many can grasp them. Fortunately, the young Wang is one of the few who grasps opportunities. On the court, Wang performed very well Confidence. His breakthrough completely tore apart the sharp defensive lineup that the Lakers experienced in the finals. Wang's long-range shots never failed, which made the Lakers' defense a headache. Although Wang's breakthrough points were less than those in the first quarter , However, every time he made the ball was wonderful, and it made the Lakers hard to defend. Although the second half of the game was long, I think the victory belongs to the Wizards. The fans of the Washington Wizards must be happy at this moment. Not only did they After seeing Michael's game, I also saw the team's excellent draft picks. After today's game, I think Wang is at the top of the list of best rookies."

Kenny Smith also agrees with Barkley.

"What Charles said is very good, and I think so too. On the court today, the Wizards played a fierce offense that was completely different from what we imagined. Their young people were relentless even in the face of the defending champion. Excellent against Wang I am very happy with his performance, and I am also happy to see more young people can perform so well. Although the game is not over yet, I feel that my victory is in the hands of the Wizards. In today's game, The Wizards are definitely the big winners in the end."

Ernie Johnson said coldly:

"That's not necessarily the case. Michael is indeed old. Almost all of his offenses today are mid- and long-range shots. Compared with offense, he pays more attention to organizing passes and assisting his teammates. The Wizards are only relying on a young man like Wang. If they are human, they can’t win, let’s wait and see in the second half, time will tell. Young people are young people, and they can’t decide the game.”

"Ernie, you also said that the game is still going on for a long time. In the end, it's not just a word of mouth. Besides, you haven't played professional basketball, you don't know. On the court, In many cases, young people are worthy of their elders. A confident and bold young man like Wang is more daring to do what he thinks. In this way, the second half of the game will be exciting."

"Charles, you can only use the excuse that I haven't played professionally. Can't I be an expert if I haven't played professionally? If I haven't played professionally, then I can't analyze players? Are you Any comments on our group of commentators?"

"So, have you ever fought?"

Hearing Barkley's reluctance, Ernie Johnson was so angry.

Originally, there were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I still didn't get the words out of my mouth, and finally turned into a——

"Humph!"

Watching Ernie Johnson turn his head and sulk, Barkley and Smith both laughed heartlessly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"
