Then the Wizards cleared out some fringe players, and although Hu Qingniu was a little reluctant to be familiar with them, it was a necessary trade for the sake of the championship.

The Wizards went through this series of personnel changes, and the personnel roster became.

Centres: Kwame Brown, Patrick Ewing, Haywood, Charles Oakley

Power forwards: Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman

Small forwards: Grant Hill, Jeffries

Shooting guards: Michael Jordan, Anthony Hardaway, Larry Hughes

Point guards: Tim Hardaway, Tyronn Lue

Here's the Wizards' latest 15-man roster, and Charles Oakley hasn't been cleared because he's Jordan's big brother. But in the current team, he can only be used as a mascot.

Jeffries can only play small forward on this team with a bloated interior, and his pace is fast enough to fit in without gaining weight.

Because the new players are either seriously injured or too old, or even away from the field for many years. These players need to be treated and rehabilitated for a period of time by Hu Qingniu.

The lineup that the Wizards have really worked on in the last two weeks has become:

Centre-forwards: Kwame Brown, Haywood, Oakley

Power Forward: Jeffries

Small forward: Jordan

Shooting guard: Larry Hughes

Point guard: Tyronn Lue

With a seven-man rotation, and the team is extremely uneven, Hu Qingniu's small-ball tactics can no longer be played. You have to slow down, otherwise the team won't last 48 minutes and will be paralyzed.

It's a huge challenge for the Wizards over the next two weeks. The Wizards are currently 7-9 in ninth place in the East, just one game away from the eighth-place Philadelphia 76ers. Even if all six games in the next two weeks are lost, a 7-15 record is acceptable for Hu Qingniu.

The Wizards' trade caused another storm.

Dumbfounded and stunned, these don't mean that everyone sees the Wizards' big moves, probably the 10,000 *** rushing in their hearts is their true portrayal.

This is also something that people can do, and with the first-round pick for "Penny" Hardaway and the heavily injured Hill, it can only be said that people want to reassess Unseld's IQ.

But what the hell is it to sign 41-year-old Ewing, 40-year-old Barkley, and 42-year-old Rodman with veteran contracts at the same time, plus 40-year-old Jordan and 37-year-old "Bug" Hardaway, the average is exactly 40 years old Death Five old lineup???

TNT: "Jordan was probably crazy, he didn't have support on the court, and he reached out to his old friends. The fact is that he poached Barkley. What？ The Wizards actually poached TNT's players, and they didn't even submit a trade request??? ”

CBS: "I'm glad we weren't poached by the Wizards. But the Wizards have already traded away two draft picks for next year, and with a bunch of old, injured expired players, I bet they might not even have five players on the court by the end of the season. ”

......

Different from the unanimous pessimism of the media, fans have pessimism about this team, but more of it is love, after all, it is the pride of the previous era gathered.

Liu Muqing: "In terms of control, this is definitely the oldest lineup I've ever seen." What can everyone expect from the Wizards' on-court veteran combination? (Separate opening and turning water)"

True wolf soul: "Is this a touch of porcelain, if this group of old men are knocked to the ground by Shaq, I am afraid they will be blackmailed for money." Billionaires can't stand the other party's old man. ”

Unseld: "Jordan wants to have an old friend association, what can I do, I'm desperate." ”

I Ben Twenty-Eight: "The ID upstairs is finally worth it today." But one thing to say, no matter how well the Wizards play the five veteran stars, I absolutely support it. They are my lost youth! ”

Han Yu: "Isn't this nonsense, the five old men are 200 years old, and this number shocked me." However, Jordan, Barkley, Ewing, these older players choose to come back are real men, no matter whether they play well or not, please don't be black. ”

-

In the Wizards' training arena, Jordan, Barkley, Ewing, "Bugs", "Penny", Rodman, and Hill were gathered by Hu Qingniu.

Hu Qingniu glanced at the superstars standing in a row, like an instructor giving a sharp look to the soldiers waiting for a lecture. He wants to establish his authority.

Sure enough, the one who gave the pillow immediately jumped out.

"This little baby is our coach?! What about Doug Collins, why didn't he come, I don't listen to Coach Baby since I was a child. ”

Needless to say, what jumped out was definitely Rodman's thorn in the face. Jordan smiled silently, he wanted to make this amazing young coach suffer. I feel that I have been crushed by him recently, which makes Jordan, who has always been strong, very depressed.

Hu Qingniu smiled mysteriously at Jordan, and that hehehe smile made the old rascal's heart furious. Discovered?

Hu Qingniu doesn't care about Jordan's careful thinking, how can he do it if he can't accept a single Rodman, which of these big-name stars doesn't have a temper.

"Dennis, I know that you believe in a strong man," Hu Qingniu glanced at Rodman up and down, and that burning gaze made Rodman uncomfortable, "Why are you old now, and you start to care about age." ”

Rodman didn't flinch like this, and cynically said, "Strong?!" Please, are you the strongest? It's good to give some face, don't tell these cute jokes, my appearance fee is very expensive. ”

hooked, Hu Qingniu was secretly happy, and he was going to come up with this trick again, and this trick tried all kinds of tricks for these old ball ruffians.

"How about we make a bet?"

"Bet on what? I took it. His instincts told Rodman that it was a trap, but he was a bad gambler and had a good face, so he readily accepted the bet.

"As a coach, the most important thing you need to have is to help the players improve. Dennis, in your case, what is your bench press score? ”

"It's about 160 kilograms 8 times." Rodman said in a rambling way, this is almost his pinnacle result.

"Oh, it's not bad to keep it up, it's your show time, everyone go to the power room to see your bench press."

Ten minutes later, Rodman was completely defeated, and he only completed 3 bench presses of 160 kilograms, which will be almost half of Rodman's boast.

The crowd laughed, and Barkley was so exaggerated that he sat on the ground and laughed.

"Don't worry, guys. I believe Dennis can do it, and I'm here to help him. ”

Hu Qingniu took out the snow-white and translucent silver needle that had been prepared long ago, and motioned for Rodman to lie down on the instrument. Hu Qingniu applied 3 needles to each of his arms.

Sticking a physical punch at Westerners is self-harm, and Barkley yells at Rodman for not coercing.

Rodman, of course, is not an instigator, and let Hu Qingniu do it.

"Try again and see how many you can lift."
