···

New Fox Sports!

Domestic fans are familiar with Xiaobai, Bai Yang, who was once a text commentator in the NCAA league. Naturally, he will not miss the opportunity to broadcast the Knicks’ opening game live.

“The game begins, the starting lineups for both teams are announced!”

“Gilbert Arenas is the starting player for the Washington Wizards…”

“We can see that both sides were aggressive in the opening stage, and every player’s eyes were full of fighting spirit.”

“Wait, I seem to see a familiar face through the broadcast camera!”

“Isn’t that Michael Jordan? He also came to New York today! The game has become interesting.”

“He sat in the front row near the Wizards’ players’ bench and waved to Kwame Brown.”

···

Kwame Brown!

2001 No. 1 draft pick!

The No. 1 high school draft pick earlier than James, and the first No. 1 high school draft pick in NBA history.

Michael Jordan is the No. 1 draft pick hand-picked by the Wizards management!

He was questioned in his rookie season and could not get enough playing time.

Fortunately, he improved slightly in the second season. With 22 minutes of playing time, he averaged 7.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

But he still has the title of a fake No. 1 draft pick.

After all, this data is too mediocre for the No. 1 pick.

Wizards players’ bench.

Michael Jordan is watching the game.

He called Kwame Brown to his side.

“Kwame, the team is short of players in the new season, I hope you can seize this opportunity!”

Michael Jordan’s sharp eyes made Kwame Brown look like a kitten.

He nodded obediently and clenched his fists.

The first game of the new season is also his battle to prove his reputation!

The results of a season’s summer training will be reflected in the first game.

The Knicks’ popular third pick has become famous recently.

Defeating this Asian kid standing at the forefront will become a stepping stone for him to gain a foothold in the Washington Wizards.

Jordan looked at the fierceness in Brown’s eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

After retiring from the Wizards, Jordan, who joined the Wizards management, made some operations, and the Wizards have not made the playoffs for N consecutive seasons.

Kwame Brown can also be said to be Jordan’s last dance as a Wizards executive.

If this talented high school student still cannot prove himself in the third season and play a brilliant performance.

Not only will he be in a situation where he has no ball to play, but Jordan will also be implicated and lose his voice in the Wizards management.

So in this Wizards opening game, the always arrogant Jordan came to the scene to cheer up Kwame Brown.

And because of Jordan’s appearance.

Today’s opening game has also become very lively!

When the fans in the stands found Jordan, all kinds of surprises came.

After all, Jordan’s final battle in Madison Square Garden that year has left a deep impression on New York fans.

And at that time, Jordan played against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden and scored the highest score of 55 points for the visiting team in the history of this stadium.

Jordan’s appearance has brought back painful memories for many New York fans.

Coupled with the “rookie curse” that has been circulating in the outside world recently, many Knicks fans have begun to worry.

“Oh my god! Jordan actually came to Madison Garden!”

“Although the Wizards have been a bit weak in the past few seasons, with so many buffs, I can’t imagine how they will lose.”

“Compared to the Wizards’ front line, we are indeed much weaker, and Kwame Brown looks aggressive, the home team is in trouble!”

“What are you panicking about? A high school student who is still wet behind the ears wants to defeat the NCAA mop winner? It’s simply a fantasy! Wang Song has proved his strength through the preseason, and he can fully adapt to the rhythm of NBA games.”

···

Some fans stood up to help calm the confused hearts of the home team fans.

The game officially started.

At the beginning, Arenas showed the talent he brought to Washington and hit a three-pointer against Steve Nash.

3:0!

Arenas turned his back and stepped back, raised his hands high and began to celebrate in Madison.

“Damn it!”

The Son of Wind gritted his teeth when he saw the arrogant look on the other side.

Wang Song was slightly moved when he saw this.

Arenas is also a famous bully in history.

The buzzer-beater three-pointer without looking back at the ball made him very popular.

On the sidelines.

Michael Jordan in the front row showed a satisfied smile.

He could see his own arrogant and domineering energy in Arenas!

Suddenly, Arenas, who was traded this season, was a relatively satisfactory account in Jordan’s heart.

Knicks fans naturally would not indulge the visiting team.

Boos were heard everywhere!

As the boos sounded in Madison Garden, Bai Yang also relayed the situation on the scene to the live broadcast room through the camera.

“Arenas! Facing Steve Nash’s three-pointer…”

“Ignore the defense and hit it! Start his celebration on the road!”

The barrage in the live broadcast room began to refresh rapidly.

——【Arinas didn’t take Nash seriously at all, he shot the ball at the beginning! 】

——【This guy has been pretending like this, you know it. 】

——【Don’t understand what this guy is pretending? The Son of Wind is not a brainless scoring guard. His offensive efficiency in the Mavericks was obvious to all. If he really wants to score, he can find a weak team and average 25+ points per game. 】

——【It can only be said that the pursuits are different. When Arenas was still struggling to get a big contract, Nash was ready to take a pay cut to strengthen the team in the championship team! 】

···

While the fans were talking about it.

The rhythm of the game on the scene was very tight, and the offense and defense rhythm changed very quickly.

The Wizards’ defense itself was not outstanding, and the reinforcement this season did not think about that at all.

Just blindly improve the offensive firepower!

As for defense, it all depends on the team’s original foundation.

Alan Houston took advantage of the double screen of Kurt Thomas and Wang Song, came out to receive the pass from Nash, and slightly adjusted his posture at the baseline to shoot.

Suddenly.

Kwame Brown in the penalty area rushed out and jumped high to cover the sky.

From the perspective of physical fitness alone, Kwame Brown can definitely be active in the NBA.

Although he did not block this ball, it still caused a lot of interference to Houston.

Clang!

The sound of the iron sounded, Kwame Brown knew that he had successfully made up for the defense, and rushed to the front court.

The running game is the rhythm of the game he is best at!

Just as he was waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, Jordan on the sidelines widened his eyes.

Kwame Brown, who originally wanted to get Jordan’s praise, stopped suddenly and looked back.

I saw the Wizards’ basket!

Wang Song took the offensive rebound from Haywood’s head, and then did not stop in the air at all.

He suddenly smashed the ball into the basket through Haywood in front of him!

[Elite Rebounder] and [Master Finisher] badges light up.

[Reasonable offensive rebounding, successful second attack, steady experience +200]
