402. The Wizards are in the limelight

Huaben drew a perfect end to the Bobcats' crazy March with an unprecedented super quadruple double, bidding farewell to March, which is the door of the playoffs in April, and the playoffs of the 2004-05 season began on April 24, and the Bobcats are now 71 games and 50 wins, ranking fourth in the East, even if they lose all the next 11 games, they will definitely be able to enter the playoffs. {}

At the end of March, one honor after another was introduced.

The best rookie in the West in March was Harris of the Mavericks, who had the big light, and the strongest rookies in Division 04 were in the East. The competition for the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was a miserable one, returning from injury Okafor, Champion Howard, Big Heart Gordon, Iguodala, and Josh of the Hawks. Howard, Celtics' Al. Jefferson and even Kevin. Martin and Tony. Aaron, these people are inextricably linked, and in the end, Okafor is lucky to win.

The best of the month in the West was won by Kobe, Peter Pan is really not easy, Nash's explosion this season is too nonsensical, Kobe Bryant is desperate to earn this best of the month, last month he averaged 35 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists per game, and his performance was indeed brave.

The Eastern Conference of the Month award is still won by Warburn, except for December, when he was banned for eight games in Brawl, he won the other several times the best of the month, and this time it was O'Neal who suffered. The Sharks thought that coming to the East, where strong interior lines are scarce, would usher in a chance to break out of honor, but it turned out that there was a super vigorous Huaben who used ESPN's popular beauty reporter Erin. In Andrews' words, it's 'the big sharks that they think they're entering the Pacific Ocean, but it's actually the Mississippi Everglades'.

In addition, Suns coach D'Antoni shared the coach of the month in the West and East with Heat boss Van Gundy.

One of the more important games in April was the opening game against the Wizards, who had faced each other three times before the Bobcats lost twice, shocking the whole league. As a rival in the same district. The Bobcats and Wizards play each other four times a season. It has been played three times this season, except for the first win, and the last two have been lost. Arenas and Jamison took turns breaking out. The general once shot 17 of 21 in the second game, killing the Bobcats.

After taking revenge on the Trailblazers, Huaben's 'power of rage' was turned on again. This time the opponent is a wizard from the capital.

The Wizards have a very good record this season, winning 41 of their 72 games so far, and they are also safe to enter the playoffs, which is not easy, because this team has been struggling in the 21st century because of the big rotten Jordan. {}

Tracing back to its roots, the Washington Wizards were founded in 1961 as the Chicago Packers. And spent a few seasons in Baltimore, which was also the team's prime season, when the Baltimore Bullets were mentioned. There are few teams in the NBA that don't shiver. Until 1974. The team only settled in Washington, D.C., and was renamed the Washington Bullets.

Enter the Alliance. After a decade of steady development (or a sloppy rookie in the NBA, with the exception of the Bobcats, the NBA's rookies were soft persimmons for the first few seasons), the Bullets drafted a tough center, Wes. Unseld and talented scorer and rebounder Evan Brown. Hayes, with these two at the core, was a team that had a great record in the '70s. During this period, the Washingtonians attacked the championship four times and eventually defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in 1977-78 to claim the only championship in franchise history.

The team was very consistent throughout the '80s, starting in 1967-68 and ending in 1988-89, setting a regular season record of at least 35 wins per season for 22 consecutive years. In 1996-97, the Bullets made the playoffs for the seventh year in a row, but by the time Joe was in power, the team was naturally one of the Bulls' stepping stones. On April 30, 1997, the final game of that series, they lost 95-96, marking the end of an era for this team. …,

The Wizards boss at the time, Abbey. Out of opposition to violence, Pauline insisted on officially changing the team's name to the Washington Wizards on May 15, 1997. At the same time, the team's home stadium was about to move from Maryland to the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., and since then, the famous Bullets have disappeared into the history of the NBA, and longtime fans often look back on it with a sigh.

Since 1997, although this team has not been short of talented players, such as the most versatile and flashy power forward in NBA history (yes, old fans know that the most versatile forward is not a hard one) Chris. Weber, the first fierce general among the five tiger generals, Zhu Wan. Howard (fierce in college), Mitch. Richmond, Rod. Strickland, Richard. Hamilton (Masked Man, once the boss of the Wizards), but the team's record has been dismal, and some people say that it is the curse caused by Poleyn's name change, which is hard to say, because until now, the Wizards are no longer as strong as they used to be.

The team took a turn for the worse in the 2001-02 season, and the key figure was none other than Jordan Joe, the current Bobcats coach. The helper spent the last period of his career with the Wizards, and it is estimated that it was also the most unhappy period of his playing days. In his first season with the Wizards, Jordan averaged 1.42 assists and 1.42 steals per game, the highest on the team, which cannot but be respectful, because Jordan was already a forty-year-old veteran at that time.

What's even more admirable is that after Jordan arrived, he led the team to an 18-game improvement over last season, well, of course, the reason why Jordan was so awesome has to do with the Wizards' stinking record last season: from 19-63 to 37-45, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

Jordan of the Wizards has mixed feelings, and it is because of his comeback that this team has the largest regular season audience in the entire league. The team's record 41 home games were sold out, and another 38 away games were also sold out. In addition, many people have followed Jordan to get naked, such as head coach Doug. Collins, who was very tough when he was a player, was one of the strongmen in the history of the Green Shirts, and was the top pick when he entered the NBA. However, his coaching skills are not very good. But once with the help of Jordan's prestige was elected coach of the month, the rookie Brandon at that time. Haywood also used Jordan's help to win the Rookie of the Month award.

From the above, it seems that the Wizards should be grateful to Jordan. But at the beginning of joining the team, the gang leader once admired Kwame. Brown, a big parallel commodity, came to make the top show, and this incident really made Wizards fans unable to thank him: the team finally shamelessly used 19 wins and 63 losses to get a top pick. As a result, the gang leader is in trouble!

The 2002-03 season was the last time to say goodbye to Jordan, the NBA's greatest player, with the Wizards, who ended his epic 15-year career. Here's one statistic to look up to: In his final NBA season, Jordan was the only player on the Wizards to play in 82 games, 67 of them, averaging 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, while shooting 45 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free-throw line.

So. Dear fans, no matter who you compare to Jordan, please look at what they did when they were forty years old.

Even if you enter the year of confusion. Jordan can still perform the kind of performance that surprised fans in the first 15 years of his career. All season. Jordan scored more than 20 points 42 times and 30 points or more nine times. There are also 3 times when I scored more than 40 points! As a 40-year-old guard, he grabbed 10 or more rebounds 12 times, had 13 double-doubles, scored most points on the team 36 times, had 16 rebounds, had 25 assists, had 32 steals and 13 blocks, and became the all-time player with the most points per game against the Heat on March 11, 2003

That season, Jordan's only regret was not being able to lead the team to the playoffs. Since then, Jordan has retired, and there is no more legend of God on the rivers and lakes! …,

After Jordan's retirement, the Wizards opened a new chapter for the team, and they introduced a new head coach, Jordan's home family, Eddie Brown. Jordan was the handsome and signed the 2001 draft pick Gilbert with a sky-high contract. Arenas, the team ushered in a recovery.

The season has started the season with the Wizards off to a great start, with their win rate above 50% in the first two months. Especially after January, Arenas led the team to win 11 of the first 13 games after the New Year, staying in the playoff ranks by a considerable margin, and maintaining that advantage to this day. In the same year as Arenas, the champion Xiu Kwame. Brown has also started to improve slowly since leaving Jordan, and has shown his quality as a top pick on the defensive end.

For the Wizards, Jordan really has a different feeling, although he has spent a lot of imperfect moments on this team, but after all, he is his mother's family, and when he mentioned the Wizards in the locker room, the eyes of the helper condensed into crystal tears: "Damn, what did those grandsons say about me last time I went to Washington?" Say I joined them in 2001 because I deliberately harmed them? Say I carefully chose Kwamei. Brown came to disgust them? Boys, listen up, it's time for you to avenge Lao Tzu and the Washingtonians! ”

This is my mother's house!

Jordan verbally called fierce, in fact, he didn't pay much attention to this game, mainly because the playoffs are in 20 days, and the players should save their strength, so he sent a more conservative lineup:

Center Anderson, power forward Oku, small forward Warburn, playmaking guard Pattin, and scoring guard Allen. Mourning, Wang, West, Gerrard, Iguodala and Martin have been on the bench for a long time, and these people are either not physically good like Mourning Wang Zhizhi or have a lot of use in the playoffs like Gerard Iguodala.

There are no changes to the Wizards' lineup, with center Etan. Thomas, power forward Kwame. Brown, small forward Antoine. Jamison, shooting guard Gilbert. Arenas, point guard Anthony. Pillar.

Because Jordan had been with the Wizards for a while, the players on both sides were quite amiable, and Brown even came to the Bobcats bench to visit Jordan. Kwame. Brown was a man of kindness, and he was grateful to Jordan for selecting him with the No. 1 pick anyway, giving him hope of making it to high society, even though that hope seems desperate now.

Brown and Wabben are the two people who changed Jordan's personality the most, and after he left, Jordan suddenly whispered to Waben: "If I can, I really hope to coach this kid this season, Ben, who was in a hurry to produce results, I scared him, I forgot that he is not like me, he didn't even play in the NCAA, he was really just a kid at that time!" ”

Hua Ben asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?" Let me converge a little today? ”

When Jordan heard this, the sadness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he rolled his eyes and said, "What are you kidding?" Kill me, you're going to give me a dead hand later! ”
