Chapter Forty-Eight: A Wave of Winning Streaks

The three-game winning streak is far from satisfying the current appetite of the Wizards, and Hu Qingniu's eyes are already on the first place in the East.

Securing first place in the East is a necessity, and it's about Jordan's MVP and playoff home advantage.

On January 15, the Washington Wizards defeated the Milwards Bucks 109-108 and successfully won four in a row.

Before the game, Jordan also paid tribute to the current coach of the Bucks, George Karl, who is the old coach of the league and Jordan's old rival.

The three musketeers of Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Michael Reed have incredible firepower on the offensive end, and the perimeter defense is exactly the Wizards' current weakness. Until Grant Hill and Anthony Hardaway returned, the Wizards had to be stretched thin from the outside.

Ray Allen's 36 points can be regarded as a battle to become famous, after all, he is facing the recognized god of basketball.

Reed scored 26 points, Kassel scored 22 points, and the three of them combined for 15 three-pointers. Both Ray Allen and Reed can be said to be perfect system players, who do not possess the ball and are extremely efficient in scoring.

Jordan was still the same, with a tepid 26 points. Barkley, the selfish devil, scored another 30 points and 16 rebounds. Barkley, who is currently averaging 33 points and 13 rebounds per game, can be described as infinitely beautiful, if it weren't for the absence of too many games this season, Hu Qingniu would have felt that it would be easier for a heartless person like Barkley to brush up on an MVP, and he didn't have to take care of the team's run-in and teammates' emotions like Jordan.

On January 17, the Wizards, who moved to Toronto, once again enjoyed the treatment of rock stars, with thousands of fans surrounding the airport, many holding signs of Jordan, Barkley and others.

The basketball enthusiasm of Maple Leaf fans has always been not low, but the reality is that the Vancouver Grizzlies have left Memphis after being at the bottom all year round. The remaining Toronto Raptors have no stars willing to join, and only Vince Carter is struggling to support them.

Hu Qingniu knew that in two more seasons, the demigods should also be traded to the Nets. In a place like the Raptors, where there is no exposure, no star wants to stick to it alone.

The Wizards easily defeated the Raptors 123-101, and Vince Carter scored 45 points, but his teammates didn't give much support.

Influenced by the "half-man and half-god", Jordan, the god of real basketball, also aroused his fighting spirit, and scored 39 points in 20 shots.

Finally, it wasn't Barkley who was selfish, but he still scored 35 points and 10 rebounds and continued his journey to the strongest brush.

On January 20, the Wizards' last stop on the road in a row, the Orlando Magic.

Because of the continuous defeat of players known as "Jordan's successor", Jordan's season is also called a good thing in the media, Jordan's season to evaluate the successor.

The current top name of the Orlando Magic is none other than the recent one of Jordan's successors, Tracy McGrady.

The white horse spear is like a poem, invincible when he was a teenager.

This poem is written about Maddie, the pinnacle of the magic period, wearing a white Magic No. 1 jersey, a pair of long arms like lightning, charging into battle, and a white horse and a spear.

Averaging 32 points per game, first in the league, this is probably the best Maddie, his most consistent way of scoring is completely without tricks, one-on-one, dry pulling. This is an impossible way to limit the way of scoring.

In addition to his pull-out moves, Maddy's ball-handling approach is also a precedent for tall and technical small forwards, and he is smart in his breaks, using his long pace and the threat of pull-out at any time to confuse opponents.

As evidence, Kevin Durant and Paul George have repeatedly said that their idol is Maddy, and it is Maddy's way of playing that affects them, as a tall small forward scorer, how to use their advantages.

Hu Qingniu said before the game that it would be good to let Maddie go and strangle others. Without at least two super perimeter defenders, Hu Qingniu couldn't have thought about defending Maddie.

Again, it's all about scoring, I just need to be more efficient than you.

Jerry Stackhouse, who was just traded out of the team last month, is the second leader of the Magic team, and he still respects Hu Qingniu very much, saying in an interview before the game, Mr. Hu, he let us call him that, will be the best coach in the league in the future.

The tip of the needle was on Maimang, Jordan and Maddie pinched, and both of them were shooting anserball the whole game, one for you and one for me. Maddie's reliance is on being taller, and at present, it seems that no one can stop anyone.

At this time, Maddie was really gorgeous, and Hu Qingniu couldn't help but write down in the small book, Maddie, back injury, congenital scoliosis, can be treated.

Relying on the strong overall strength, the Wizards still won this big drama without suspense.

At 135:120, the league is increasingly inclined to slow positional warfare, and such high-scoring games are rare.

Maddy lived up to the scoring title, scoring an astonishing statistic of 50 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. The First World War shocked the league and established superstar status.

Since the departure of the Raptors, Maddy has stepped up one season at a time, and was originally the helper of Grant Hill that the Magic hired, but now it can be said that he has surpassed Hill.

Although Maddie was brave, the Wizards' seven players scored double-doubles, and Jordan's statistics were even better with 49 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists.

But the Wizards are more than Jordan's team, everyone has a role to play.

Barkley had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Ewing had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Rodman had 10 points and 18 rebounds.

Larry Hughes had 14 points, Tyronn Lue had 11 points and Tim Hardaway had 10 points and 10 assists.

The soldiers charged, the three armies died, and the coach strategized, how could the wizards be defeated.

A wave of six consecutive wins brought the Wizards' win rate back to 50% for the first time since the opening game.

The 14-14 record moved Jordan up two spots from the MVP rankings to No. 8.

The winning streak didn't leave the Wizards inflated or slack.

Jordan, Barkley, and Rodman, the three old men, have nothing to say about their work ethic. It's not yet time to relax, to borrow a phrase from Barkley.

After death, there is time to rest!

The role of veteran players is to stabilize the morale of the army and grasp the direction of the team, which is an excellent helmsman for Barkley, Jordan and Ewing.

The Wizards' insane performance continued throughout January, and their undefeated January saw the Wizards jump to fourth place in the East.

At the same time, the win came to 20-14, and this wave of 12 consecutive wins allowed the Wizards to return their blood well. Among them, there are many strong teams such as the 76ers, Pistons, and Kings, and the dominant performance of the Wizards has finally attracted the attention of other teams in the league.

Cry wolf!
