The plane arrived at Washington Reagan International Airport.
Jordan billboards can be seen everywhere in the terminal.
After Jordan's comeback, Washington had a problem.
The most influential person in Washington now is not the President of the United States, but the of basketball.
Reagan International Airport is only 5 kilometers away from the White House, the capital of the United States. Judging from everything around it, it is not just a stubbornness.
"Michael, you have to guard against Michael at night."
Van Exel looked at the surrounding scenes, turned his head and molested Finley.
Finley was once nicknamed Jordan's successor, and his name is the same as Jordan.
"Michael deliberately mentioned his successors when he announced that he was coming back. He will definitely be cruel."
Van Exel looked like the kind of people who watched the excitement not too much.
"I will try to guard him."
But Finley is an honest man.
Van Exelton felt bored when he turned his head and walked to Sun Hao.
"Sun, you taught Dirk to say something rubbish, can you say it?"
"I will."
Sun Hao nodded.
If he misses Jordan, he is already prepared.
"I look forward to it."
Van Exel smiled and nodded, this is what he likes.
……
Verizon Center Arena, the arena that can accommodate 19,000 people is already full of seats.
After the September 11th incident, the United States has not seen such a grand occasion for a long time.
Jordan saved the NBA.
When warming up before the game, Jordan was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, and the pictures of the interview were also posted on the large LED screen on the spot.
"Michael, this is your return to the NBA after two years, how do you feel?"
Jordan's expression looked calm, but the reporter who asked the question was a little excited.
"Relax."
And Jordan also sensed that the reporter was nervous, and in turn comforted her.
"This is very interesting. I thought I would not stand on this field again, but it turns out that standing here still makes me excited."
After pacifying the reporter, Jordan said unhurriedly.
Probably only Jordan can speak like this.
"How many points do you think you can score in the first game?"
The reporter then asked.
"40 marks."
Jordan's answer was even more straightforward than Sun Hao's original.
The reporter directly opened his mouth. I am afraid that there is no second 38-year-old basketball player in the world who can say this score.
"That's me after all."
Seeing the reporter's reaction, Jordan said with a smile.
After all, it is me, this is Jordan.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Finley couldn't help taking a long breath.
aura, regardless of how much strength the 38-year-old Jordan has left, this aura already makes people feel very stressed.
The warm-up ended, and the scene entered the opening ceremony.
"The 9th NBA Defensive First Team, the 10th NBA All-Star Team, the 14th NBA All-Star, the 5th Regular Season MVP, the 6th NBA Championship, the 6th Finals MVP, let us welcome his return, basketball God, Black Jesus, Michael~~Jordan!!!"
When the host stretched the pitch and introduced Jordan with a series of suffocating introductions, the whole arena was boiled.
The classic opening dynasty music of the Bulls is no longer there, but it still can't stop the fans from being excited for Jordan's appearance.
The of basketball is really back!
Sun Hao could feel that Finley's breathing became heavier beside him.
It's not that Finley has never faced Jordan, he even experienced Jordan's second dynasty three consecutive championships, but because of the experience, that feeling has become more unforgettable.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups on both sides were released one after another.
Wizards side, Hardaway, Richard Hamilton, Jordan, Lightner, Yao Ming;
On the Mavericks side, Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki, LaFrenz;
Yao Ming and LaFrenz jump ball.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Lafrenz put the ball back to the Mavericks halftime, officially kicking off the game.
Nash organizes the frontcourt, Nowitzki and Finley pick and roll, and take the pass to the outside and shoot.
"Huh!"
Nowitzki kicked off the knife and hit the Mavericks' first goal.
Although he didn't play much in the preseason, he recovered from his sore ankles. He is still the best shooting big man in active service.
Hardaway advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Jordan.
The cheers on the scene broke out again.
Jordan confronted Finley's defense with three threats and jumped to a mid-range emergency stop.
The iconic front and rear feet directly wet the fans.
This is how many people remember basketball when they were young.
"when!"
But Jordan's first shot did not make a hit.
Lafranz stuck Yao Ming to protect the defensive rebound.
And he gave the ball to Sun Hao as soon as he took it, and the Mavericks immediately defended and counterattacked.
Sun Hao dribbled the ball fast, and Hamilton chased after him.
He flew to the basket and Hamilton took the first shot and blocked the shot.
After the aerial confrontation, Sun Hao's confrontation prevailed and he sent the ball to the basket.
Jordan continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt. He stopped and returned the ball in this breakthrough, which caused another excitement from the fans.
But his mid-range shot after pulling back is still a shot!
Jordan failed to hit the middle distance twice in a row after the opening!
This is surprising, you must know that the mid-range jumper is Jordan's strongest killing technique.
38-year-old Jordan is really old!
Nowitzki grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Mavericks played a defensive counterattack.
"Snapped!"
But this time, Jordan made a lightning strike and knocked Nowitzki's pass directly out of bounds.
Although there was no direct steal, the Mavericks' fast break was destroyed.
That reaction speed, let alone a 38-year-old veteran, most players can't do it.
Just when the fans thought he was old, he immediately responded with actions.
The Mavericks played the frontcourt, and Nowitzki came out to catch the ball.
This time it was Jordan who changed defense.
was a big hit, and the rest of the Mavericks pulled away.
Nowitzki made a fake shot and made a real sudden jump, and he made a one-step emergency stop in the middle distance.
This is his skill, but Jordan was disrupting Nowitzki's rhythm from the beginning, and even almost stabbed Nowitzki's ball.
Nowitzki's final shot was obviously short, and he even made a three-shot!
This looks incredible.
But this is also the pressure of confrontation with Jordan.
And from the two defensive rounds, it can be seen that even though Jordan is 38 years old, he is still very strong.
As for consecutive misses in the opening offense, that is also normal.
He and Nowitzki only missed one preseason game. He didn't play in the preseason game for two years.
In this case, if he can come up, he will make consecutive shots, unless he is hitting 100%.
Yao Ming accepted the defensive rebound, Jordan took the ball in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming mentioned a pick-and-roll high.
Although Yao Ming looks a little thin, the pick-and-roll is very solid.
After opened, Jordan held the ball and broke through.
Knowing that he is not feeling well, he starts to hit the basket.
LaFrenz dislocation defends Jordan, his long arms always cover Jordan.
In the preseason game, it can be seen that he is a person looking for a chance to block.
Jordan lifts the ball and LaFrenz prepares to block.
But at this moment, Jordan took the ball away and jumped. A tie rod changed from the right side of the basket to the left side, and the ball was backhanded into the basket!
Jordan, scored the first goal of his Wizarding career!
The cheers on the scene broke out.
38-year-old Jordan can still score in this difficult way!
Sun Hao is not too surprised, when he was in Dallas training camp before, Jordan had done this kind of thing in that matchup.
Now more than a month after the incident, Jordan is recovering better and this kind of action is more handy.
The Mavericks' frontcourt position, Sun Hao ran without the ball, Hamilton still chased.
When Jordan and Sun Hao shot training in Chicago, I mentioned that he was teaching Hamilton to shoot without the ball.
At this point, Hamilton learned very quickly. The key is not only the offensive position, but also the perfect defensive position.
Nash finally passed the ball to Finley, and Finley cut for a layup.
"Snapped!"
Yao Ming obscured the sky and directly took Finley's shot.
Jordan gave Yao Ming a thumbs up and gave him an ambiguous look.
Jordan hasn't scolded a word since the opening, plus the action just now.
It seems that training camp and MM have run in very well.
The Mavericks' sideline ball came, and Finley still didn't have a mid-range shot.
The player's psychology has a great influence on the performance, and Finley is obviously a little unwilling to let go.
Lightner got another defensive rebound.
Jordan went to the frontcourt and ran off the ball. After receiving a pass from Hardaway, he tricked Finley into flying with a false shot, and then made a short shot.
"Huh!"
The basketball was sent firmly into the basket.
Jordan, after losing two consecutive shots in the opening game, he scored 4 points in a row!
On-site fans also began to cheer for the home team.
The Wizards' defensive strength has become stronger, and LaFrenz still has no outside three-pointers.
The Mavericks got into a scoring drought after scoring 5 points in a row.
Looking back, Jordan started to hit Finley with his back, and then turned to the bottom line to make a jump shot.
"Huh!"
This goal is also scored!
Jordan made the first shot!
6 to 5!
The Wizards overtook the score!
and all 6 points come from Jordan.
And Jordan has been attacking since the opening!
Your uncle is really still your uncle.
"Michael, let's change defense."
Sun Hao said to Finley at this time.
Finley is out of shape tonight.
Finley took a long breath. He really couldn't bear the pressure from Jordan.
Sun Hao wants to pass the ball in front.
Hamilton's running position feels like he can walk the dog, it is difficult for him to have a chance without the ball.
He greeted Nowitzki's pick and roll, and the two reproduced the classic pick and roll of last season's playoffs.
After opened, Sun Hao faced Lightner's iconic retreat for a three-pointer.
Lightner can't keep up.
The ball flew across a high parabola in the air.
"Huh!"
Sun Hao's three-pointer hit!
He broke the team's scoring drought!
The Mavericks' bench is boiling, this ball is very important.
Jordan glanced at Sun Hao.
The last time he watched Sun Hao play was when the Mavericks played the Bulls at the beginning of the season.
More than a year later, Sun Hao seems to have grown a lot.
The Wizards advanced to the frontcourt, and Jordan was stunned when he held the ball again.
Because he discovered that the defender had changed from Finley to Sun Hao.
"Come on, Michael!"
Sun Hao shouted at Jordan.
Jordan's eyes fluctuate.
Indeed, as Van Exel said, he was going to test the strength of his so-called successors, but Finley disappointed him too much.
From now on, Sun Hao didn't have that title, but he admired it even more.
Jordan leaned against Sun Hao and held the ball in one hand, and his other hand signaled to pull it away.
To play a dual guard like Sun Hao, back playing is the most effective way to score.
"boom!"
"boom!"
A direct collision of muscles between the two.
Sun Hao can feel that Jordan is more rhythmic than in the last heads-up.
Jordan felt that Sun Hao became stronger than when he was singled out before.
When he hit his back for 5 seconds, Jordan turned around and made a jumper.
Sun Hao shot lightning and directly caught the ball in Jordan's hand.
But Jordan's ball didn't fall.
There used to be an animated picture of Jordan breaking through a layup, getting hit in the air, and still keeping his balance to send the ball into the basket.
Jordan's physical fitness is very abnormal, even if he is 38 years old.
"Huh!"
Jordan's turn over jumper returned!
He scored 8 points in a row!
The of basketball, unstoppable!
The cheers at the scene have exploded.
Some fans even started chanting the slogan of Black Jesus.
"40 marks."
Go back to recall what Jordan said in the interview before the game.
After all, Jordan!
Old Nelson also shook his head watching from the sidelines.
But Sun Hao's expression remained the same.
Because the moment Jordan shot, he felt the other person's gasp.
Although Jordan is very strong, so strong to be 38 years old and so outrageous, but people can not violate the laws of physiology.
Jordan has been attacking since the opening, it can be seen that he wants to prove that he is still a god.
He did it, but such a blow to his body is definitely not allowed.
And Sun Hao can have a person with a "combatant" badge, which will make Jordan's physical strength drain faster.
So all he has to do is to let Jordan continue to do that.
Jordan leaves, the Wizards will play much better.
The Mavericks played in the frontcourt. When Sun Hao received the ball, it was Jordan who changed his defense.
Sun Hao gestured to pull away.
The scene began to booze.
Sun Hao, I want to single Jordan!
Jordan sinks into the center.
His offense may take some time to adapt to the battlefield, but the defense does not need.
Sun Haosan threatened, but he couldn't get rid of Jordan in successive cross steps.
Jordan's defense is really superb.
Because of his strong personal offensive ability, his defense is easy to be ignored~EbookFREE.me~ As the host introduced in the opening, the 9th NBA defense team, the first in NBA history, is more often used as the most in NBA history. Payton, the best defensive player, has another time.
Sun Hao withdrew under the fake crotch, and then reflexively withdrew under the fake crotch, only to gain a little space for himself.
But Jordan's physical condition is too good, and he still interferes the moment he withdraws.
This is a difficult shot.
However, Sun Hao showed his strong psychological quality, and he still shot the ball steadily.
The ball is worthy of passing Jordan's fingertips.
"Huh!"
Along with a crisp sound, Sun Hao finished his facial shot on Jordan!
There was an uproar at the scene.
The Mavericks bench exploded in an instant.
Although Sun Hao did such a thing last season, the person facing him is Jordan!
Jordan also didn't expect Sun Hao to make this goal, his face was surprised.
But immediately, his face changed.
Because of Sun Hao and Wang Zhelin's possession, the mouth is fragrant.
"Welcome back to the NBA, old guy."
