NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

When Zhou Yao returned to Washington, the new season was about to start.

During this period, the biggest news in the United States, of course, can also be said to be the biggest news in the world.

Nothing is better than "9".

For Americans, the news second only to "9" is Jordan's second comeback.

For most people, at this time, Jordan can be seen playing.

That is simply a kind of happiness.

However, there are also many people, especially those professionals, who are not optimistic about Jordan's comeback.

"Stop kidding, and besides, it's not funny at all."

"Basketball is a sport, is there anything else he needs to prove?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to watch the kids play today with grace?"

"Keep all the good things in your memory, okay?"

"I really don't understand whether he was impulsive or after careful consideration."

"What the hell does he want to do?"

"Is it to prove that he is not old yet, at the age of 38, he is still the one flying into the sky?"

"Is he seeing how ugly the games of today's kids are, and wants to teach them a lesson?"

"Or did he suddenly change his gender and want to be taught a lesson by the current children!"

The media has never been too big to watch.

Jordan's old buddies were invited one by one to give their opinion on the TV show.

Then, people suddenly found out.

Jordan's good buddy, Barkley, the active tnt commentator, doesn't seem to want to join in the fun at all.

When Barkley finally appeared on TV, people were surprised to find that he was actually a size smaller.

What's the situation?

Barkley has not shown up for so long, is he busy losing weight?

Doesn't he himself know that this kind of him is not as cute as the round one?

Even if he didn't know it himself, didn't the people around him tell him?

Barkley is no longer an active NBA player.

He is now an active tnt commentator.

than losing weight.

Let your lips become sharper.

Find more jokes to entertain the audience.

Isn't that what he's doing now?

"sorry!"

"For the love of basketball, I still have no way to completely give up."

"Working in the studio every day, you can also get close to basketball and the NBA."

"For these, I should have been very satisfied."

"Until one day, I found out."

"I still can't completely let go of basketball."

"My basketball career is still incomplete."

"So, I'm sorry! Please let me be self-willed again."

"This is the last time."

"no matter what the result is."

"At least, I still have a chance to make this last fight!"

"Here, I would like to thank my old friend Michael."

"I would also like to thank Mr. Abby Poling for giving me this opportunity."

"I'm going to join the Wizards."

"I've got the contract now."

No one expected that Barkley's appearance this time actually announced that he would also come back.

And like Jordan, he returned with the Wizards.

Speaking of it, Barkley's weight loss this time has been very effective.

But in terms of his current situation, he can still play in the NBA.

Almost everyone is skeptical.

Moreover, although Barkley didn't say it clearly, but this time he came back, he is heading for the championship.

However, can the Wizards win the championship?

Last season, the Wizards paid a total of $5909 million in salary.

Ranked 5th in the league.

Even $12 more than the Lakers who won the championship in the end.

That's $76 million more than the No. 837 [-]ers in the East.

After spending so much money, it's okay to have a record.

But the Wizards are 19 wins and 63 losses, second to last in the Eastern Conference.

This kind of achievement, this kind of salary space, don't expect to attract other stars at all.

Moreover, the salary space of the Wizards this season is also stretched.

Mitch Richmond is now going to the Lakers, but the Wizards are asking for his $1000 million contract.

And Lloyd Ott, now retired, still needs the Wizards to pay his $522 million annual salary.

These two alone accounted for more than 1500 million.

In addition, the contracts of Michael Smith and Lorenzo Williams are not small.

And they also don't need to play for the Wizards.

The Wizards are now barely cobbled together from the main lineup.

Point guard, Whitney Alexander.

Shooting guard, Richard Hamilton.

Small forward, Michael Jordan.

Power forward, Jahidi White.

Center, Kristen Laettner.

Although Zhou Yao is the number one pick, he is just a rookie after all.

And did not participate in the preseason.

Head coach Doug Collins doesn't know much about him.

So now Zhou Yao can only play as a substitute.

Everyone knows Barkley's skills.

But after all, it has been a long time since I played a game.

Moreover, Barkley has not completely succeeded in losing weight now.

When I practiced with Jordan before, my knees were under a lot of pressure.

Although Barkley himself volunteered to ask for more playing time.

Still, Collins decided not to take the risk.

Let Barkley play as a substitute for a while first.

As for that Arenas.

In Collins' view, it's a little too immature.

And it's just an undrafted pick.

Fortunately, it is very cheap.

Use it if you can.

Can play point guard, and can also be used as a point guard or even a small forward if necessary.

But now, Collins can only say that Arenas still needs to play some impressive performances.

Want more playing time.

Even wanted to be the starter.

You have to work harder.

"The total salary of the Wizards this year is still more than 5000 million US dollars."

"It's still because they signed Jordan for $100 million a year."

"Also signed Barkley for the same price."

"You know, Jordan's last salary was 3314 million, and Barkley also had 900 million."

"I meant no offense."

"But I'm still skeptical that these two veterans are still worth $100 million."

"After all, Jordan is 38 years old, and Barkley is only 3 days younger than him."

"We know that Jordan led the team to the playoffs in his first season."

"And what we are most worried about is that the god of basketball will not be guaranteed in the evening!"

"To be honest, I personally don't want to see this scene."

"Although, I think it's as difficult for the Wizards to make the playoffs this year as it is for them to win the championship."

So, in this almost one-sided pessimism, the season began.

On October 10, local time, the Wizards ushered in their first game of the season.

away to the New York Knicks.

Last season, the New York Knicks went 48-34.

Ranked 4th in the East.

Lost to the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs.

This season, the Knicks intend to go one step further.

In the first scene against the Wizards, the Knicks did not intend to be polite...
