Chapter 338: [Signed, Little Overlord! 】

During the break, the media increased the propaganda of the Wizards, and praised more than Jordan just came back last season.
As early as in an interview in December 2000, Jordan had stated that articles in the newspaper talking about Kobe and Carter made him very uncomfortable. He even mentioned a key point, that is, because the media excessively sought after emerging stars, Promote yourself to return to the game and compete with these younger generations.
Jordan’s intention was obvious. He wanted to regain his former popularity from Carter, proving that
Your uncle or your uncle
, but unfortunately the years are not disturbing.
In this preseason game, Jordan played only 20 minutes per game, and he began to serve old. Putting an ice pack on the knees on the sidelines also made people see his perseverance. The propaganda line of "Heroes Twilight" is in line with David Stern's idea.
In the new season, the Wizards have broadcast 28 live games nationwide. China CCTV5 is the live broadcast Wizards nearly half of the game, second only to the Knicks, Yao Ming's game they will not miss.
Swingman Matt Barnes was still cut by the Cavaliers after the preseason. On the 28th, the Wizards gave him an unsecured base salary, and gathered 15 people.
Despite being only a basic salary, Barnes also cherishes the opportunity. It is too difficult for an outside blue-collar like him who lacks offensive force to find a job. From the draft to the present, he is not optimistic at all, and he does not even have an agent.
Barnes vowed to do his best to help the team as long as he played.
On October 29, the NBA played three games.
The Lakers lost to the Spurs at home, the 76ers lost to the Raptors away, and the Kings slaughtered the Cavaliers at home. The two teams that made it to the Finals in 2001 were in distress.
On the 30th, the Wizards opened the home game against the Celtics.
The team that ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season was very attractive to fans. However, there is news that Jordan has a knee injury and the opening game will not be long.
This is actually the routine of the Washington media. In the preseason, Jordan put ice packs on his knees several times. If the opener is a lively tiger and the offensive breakthrough is the main thing, it seems too fake.
The Wizards’ management began to pave the way for the training camp. On the one hand, it reflects Jordan’s tragic injury, and the tragic and unsatisfactory defeat. On the other hand, Jordan’s transformation of the play style seems logical and can gain more fans’ favor.
If these propaganda are not done, Jordan directly reduces the number of shots, and the low position of the offense will definitely pop up a group of fake fans spraying Jordan to waste. In the view of pseudo-fans, facing the strongest defender's strong attack, facing the double shot is the king, even if it is not possible to vote is also a symbol of strength.
The Celtics coach is Jim O'Brien, who was very low-key in an interview before the game: "The team has no clear record goals. We traded in the summer and the lineup has changed. The regular season will be dominated."
He didn't predict the outcome. The Celtics won and lost 2 games against the Wizards last season.
The Wizards battled the Greens for the first time, winning the lottery.
In the summer, the Celtics completed a five-man deal and got Wenbeck, defender Shamond Williams from the Sonics, starting point guard Kekeny Anderson, center Potapenko and defender Joseph- Ford gave the supersonic speed.
O'Brien's lack of confidence is because of Wen Baker, the management actually fancied that a drunkard can return to the right track, and the supersonic has long been willing to send Wen Baker this hot potato.
The Supersonics used "Rainman" Camp in exchange for Weinbeck, who played for the Bucks. I hope he and Payton will carry the banner of revitalizing the team. Unexpectedly, after signing a sky-high contract, Weinbeck Since then it has been sluggish.
Weinbeck’s current contract expires in four years, which means that the Celtics will pay a high salary of more than 50 million US dollars in the next four years, and there is insufficient salary space, resulting in the team’s hero last season, striker Rod Ni Rogers joined the Nets freely.
Coupled with the 96 golden generation 12-ranked blue-collar insider Porta Panco left, the Celtics' inside strength is more than weaker than last season.
On the evening of the 30th, the MCI Center was full of seats. The museum opened in 1997 and can accommodate 20,674 spectators. It is the third-largest stadium in the league, and the home atmosphere is extremely hot.
Several newcomers to the pre-season Wizards often staged a dunk, and Jordan may be the last season of his career, plus Yang Rui joined, these factors are very attractive to fans, the team season tickets sold out early.
When the players played, Jordan received the warmest applause, followed by Yang Rui.
TNT live broadcast, Charles Barkley and former Rockets player Kenny Smith explained.
Smith asked: "Charles, this year Jerry Yang signed a five-year contract with the Wizards and said he is confident to lead the Wizards into the playoffs. They perform well in the preseason. What do you think?"
As soon as Yang Rui was mentioned, Barkley's eyelids jumped. In 1999, he had the opportunity to join the Raptors, but he gave up. The Raptors won the championship that season.
"Jerry Yang can win two titles in the Raptors, mainly because the team has a strong lineup. Even if McGrady leaves, there are three All-Star players in the team. The Wizards have only one All-Star Michael, and he is very old, I think Even if the Wizards make the playoffs, it will be difficult to go far."
Smith asked: "Which team do you think will win today?"
"The two teams should be about the same strength, and they are likely to win. The Baker is a mistake in the Celtics trade. I don't believe that an alcoholic can successfully quit drinking, just like I can't quit fried chicken and donuts." Buckley laughed Road.
Since retiring, Barkley became fat two times and became a sphere. He is the kind of person who can't stand the temptation of food. Barkley did not wear a championship ring all his life, the reasons for which can be described as diverse, but in the view of his former teammates, all this is "eating out junk food."
After the warm-up, the players from both sides played. Wizards start: Wesley, Hamilton, Jordan, Marshall, Stadamer.
Celtics starters: Tony Delk, Paul Pierce, Eric Williams, Antoine Walker, Tony Batty.
O'Brien sent a big lineup to allow Pierce to play shooting guard. Williams is 203cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms to play small forward. No matter who they face Hamilton, they have an advantage in confrontation.
The referee threw the ball into the air and the game began.
Stardamer showed a dunk contest-level bouncing ~EbookFREE.me~ flew like a spring, the speed was amazing, it was a bit higher than Batty, and the ball was given to his teammates.
Hamilton dribbled the ball and passed it to Jordan and immediately started running.
Yang Rui didn't arrange complicated tactical running in the first game. Wesley and Marshall pulled away from the left and set the opportunity, outside the three-point line and other opportunities. 70 degrees to the right of Stardamer helped Hamilton block Williams.
Hamilton cut inwards, attracting Batty to defend, ran around the rim from the left, and then screened with Marshall at 45 degrees without the ball.
Both Batty and Walker were attracted inside, Jordan passed the ball, but not to Hamilton, but to Stardamer, who was cut on the right.
Stoudemire squeezed Williams away to catch the ball, the face frame sprinted at full speed, and his feet jumped with full force. Batty turned and tried to defend too late, he didn't dare to jump. Stardamer fully stretched out, and the right hand tomahawk snapped into the box! 2 to 0.
Fans of the audience are boiling. For years, they have never seen the Wizards have such a beautiful dunk action.
Little bully is happy!
