On January 29, 1999, the Clippers traveled to Phoenix to play away against the Suns. Barkley, but their strength is still strong to beat the Clippers, the loss of this game, let Tiger firm up the idea in his heart, that is, to come, at this time he felt that he understood a little, the original Kobe, after the disbandment of the OK group, many people criticized Kobe's style of play, saying that he didn't pass the ball, so Kobe passed the ball, and people said that he was willful, and now Tiger feels that maybe Kobe just wants to tell everyone that it's not that he doesn't pass the ball, but that his teammates don't give it.

Back in Los Angeles, the team had a day off, and Tiger spent all his time on vacation, in the newly renovated basement training room, which was completely remodeled according to his needs, and he was now desperate to become stronger, and he hated the feeling of losing. He's going to get stronger and help the team win more.

On February 5, 1999, the Clippers ushered in the first regular season game of the season, at home against the Denver Nuggets, Tiger and Jason entered the NBA's first regular season game is the opponent, Tiger really thinks that the person who formulates the NBA schedule is a talent, and there is no shortage of topics in the first game, former teammates, friends for many years, the two biggest favorites in this year's draft, okay! They succeeded, the game got attention, and it was broadcast live across the United States.

"Hello everyone! Here is the 1998-1999 NBA regular season brought to you by N for everyone, the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets, and I'm glad to meet you again after a summer, okay! This summer is a bit long, due to labor and management negotiations, this year's NBA has been suspended, many games including the All-Star Game have been canceled, and there will only be 50 regular season games this season, I thought that all games would be suspended this year! Fortunately, I met you again. ”

"This year's favorite basketball superstar, Michael Brown. Jordan retired, which made many fans sad and disappointed for a long time, but another person who is known as Jordan's successor, the new generation of hopeful star Tiger . Washington joined the NBA, and today is his first NBA regular season game, where he will face his good friend and former partner Jason. Green's Denver Nuggets, let's look forward to what kind of performance these two basketball geniuses from Wake Forest University will bring us. ”

"The race is about to start, oh! Tiger. Washington and Jason. Green and his friends hugged each other before the game, it seems that their relationship is still very good, the game started immediately, Jason jumped the ball successfully, his physical condition is too good, we rarely see him lose the jump ball, the Diggers attack, the ball passed to the basket, Jason. Green turned around and dunked, the Clippers' interior defense was so poor that they had nothing to do with Jason at all. ”

"The Clippers served the ball, and Martin couldn't find a good way to break through and passed the ball to Tiger. Washington, Tiger a wonderful getaway, pull-back jumper, oh! He's so stretched, I feel like I'm seeing Michael again, and Tiger really should have chosen the number 23 shirt instead of the current number 11 so I would have thought I was still watching Jordan's game. ”

After the game started, Tiger kept hitting the basket, he knew Jason's ability better than others, so he used a lot of pull-up jump shots, and did not go to the basket to find a risk. Stizy is a player who has played the 'Black Eight' with Nuggets head coach Dan Isele, and he is very experienced, although he can't limit Tiger on the defensive end, but the team's organization is very stable, and their interior line has an absolute advantage, and the two teams have been inseparable.

In the second quarter of the game, both sides sent a bench lineup, the Clippers' bench lineup was very poor, and after the Nuggets' bench lineup came out, Tiger saw a familiar face, Chauncey Billups, the Nuggets' backup point guard, f... How extravagant are K Nuggets? Billups as a backup point guard? Tiger turned his head to look at his teammates and couldn't help but curse. The Nuggets' bench lineup, led by Billups, slowly pulled away the score, Tiger couldn't sit still, he really wanted to win this game, damn the NBA schedule, the next game for them was the Spurs, it would be more difficult for them to win.

Tiger stood up, came to Coach Ford, and said, "Coach, I don't need to rest, the situation on the field is not very good now, you can arrange for me to play!" ”

Ford looked at Tiger in surprise, Tiger showed his performance after arriving at the team, and he also admired Tiger, but this team is not something that a player can save, it is like a retirement home, there is no fighting spirit and pursuit, some are just plain and enjoyable, the boss only wants to make money, the team will choose Tiger in the end this year, and it is also because the team's owner Sterling feels that Tiger can bring greater commercial benefits to the team, as well as attention, and now the team is lagging behind, and the team's boss Martin has no reaction at all, And Tiger asked to play, and he didn't feel it in his heart to be fake, but he was just a temporary firefighter, and he didn't have any real power.

Looking at Tiger's firm eyes, in the end Ford agreed to Tiger's request, he is not completely without ambition, after Tiger came on the court, he and Billups on both offensive and defensive ends, I have to say that Billups's defense is really good, he brought some pressure to Tiger, but it is only some pressure, limiting Tiger He can't do it now, maybe he can at his peak, in the offense, Billups has a good control of the rhythm, this is his specialty, he is the team's metronome, he is not a point guard in the traditional sense, So in the league represented by Stockton and Kidd now, he is not taken seriously, but his control of the pace of the game and his ability to score is a representative of another point guard.

After Tiger came on the court, it was slowly controlled, Tiger released his offensive talent to the fullest, constantly impacting the Nuggets' defense, and the score slowly overtook the Nuggets, the head coach of the Nuggets saw this situation and decisively replaced the team's main lineup, but the Clippers did not make substitutions, Ford did not want to change, he also saw the hope of the team's victory, but he couldn't command the team's bigwigs.

The commentator of this game also said puzzledly: "Now the game is more favorable to the Clippers, but their coach has not adjusted, is it trying to counterattack in the second half?" I don't understand what Coach Ford of the Clippers thinks. But Tiger. Washington's performance, really good, he didn't look like a rookie at all. ”
