***************
Jordan walked slowly, and next to him, he was followed by Chancey Billups, the Pistons' main point guard.
Throughout the process, Jordan protected the basketball well, and Billups didn't seem to have any intention of stealing the ball.
After crossing the halfcourt line, Jordan, who temporarily replaced Arenas as point guard, immediately waved his hand at several people on the court.
Seeing this, Wu Di immediately understood in his heart, so he ignored Hamilton's small movements and pulled, and ran towards the bottom line.
After Arenas was fouled, Doug Collins put on a three-forward team, which made the average height of the Wizards increase a lot.
However, the need for an organizer is extremely important.
Judging from Doug Collins' arrangement, Jordan, who has averaged more than 8 assists per game in a single season in his career, is the most suitable candidate.
Judging from the situation on the court, Wu Di also feels that Jordan is a player who can easily play the No. 1~3 swing. At 40, he is more experienced, and his ball skills are not like his body, which declines with age.
Trotting all the way, Wu Di managed to get rid of Hamilton with the help of Christian's basket cover, and at the same time he also saw the two referees who were staring at the court.
Arenas' fate was very fatal for the Wizards. That means the Wizards will lose the playmaker of the team, and if they find someone to organize the offense on the spot, it won't be as good as they have been rehearsing.
However, Jordan's ability is trustworthy, and after he took over the ball, he became extremely calm, and every step and every pass appeared extremely cautious.
This situation can also make Wu Di understand in his heart that this Jordan must be under a lot of pressure, after all, he doesn't want to stop at the series with the Pistons like this.
Wu Di can clearly feel the extremely eager to win aura conveyed by Jordan, and this natural leader contagion is also very easy to infect everyone on the court.
The soles of his feet grasped the ground slightly, Wu Di's body stopped abruptly, and at the same time, his arms opened slightly, and the fast-flying basketball was firmly grasped by him.
The sense of substance that started with basketball immediately made Wu Di feel a sense of enthusiasm.
His heart was pounding, but his thoughts stopped completely, all he had left in his eyes was the basket, and his only thought was to score and help Jordan win the game.
With a light touch of his feet on the ground, Wu Di instantly rose into the air, and the whole process was not muddy at all, and the players who came over to make up the defense could not interfere with Wu Di's shooting.
The basketball swiped across the net bag, and the fans at the Palace in Auburn Hills looked a little nervous, and the people on the sidelines began to make gestures to Wu Di with their hands down, and at the same time, they shouted at Wu Di.
A hint of coldness appeared on Wu Di's face, his heart was surprisingly calm, and these things didn't affect him at all.
Shaking the three fingers that were outstretched, Wu Di's movements made the fans' reactions even greater.
Feeling this change in atmosphere, Wu Di's eyes flashed with a hint of inexplicable meaning.
Turning around and retreating, Wu Di's gaze met Jordan's eyes at the same time, as if a substantial collision made Wu Di feel a sense of peace of mind in his heart.
It's a leader that Wu Di has felt many times throughout the season that playing next to Jordan is hardly any pressure.
And Wu Di certainly thought about it, maybe this is the quality that a leader should have.
Leaders take all the pressure under their belt, and their strength will bring room for their teammates to play easily and stress-free.
Touching Jordan's outstretched hand is a sign of trust and encouragement between teammates.
Feeling Jordan's encouraging gaze, Wu Di was even more determined to help Jordan with all his heart.
He didn't know why he would have this feeling, maybe because their generation had been influenced by Jordan since childhood, maybe because the basketball god was too high in the hearts of their people, or maybe it was Jordan's natural leadership style that made him willing to surrender......
Wu Di couldn't think clearly, and he didn't want to think about it too much.
Jordan is only the last year, and now Wu Di coincidentally came to the Wizards, but got what he wanted most.
The benefits of Jordan's avatar for Wu Di are self-evident, as the so-called taking the good of others, Wu Di is more willing to do his best in this doomed season.
……
The wind is howling, the ball is constantly roaring, the shouts are ring after ring, and the game is going on like flowing water.
With Arenas not on the floor, the Wizards' perimeter defense was much better, something that Doug Collins didn't expect as head coach.
Looking at the game on the field with satisfaction, Collins suddenly felt that the sudden foul crisis of Arenas today had given him the inspiration to be a head coach.
The three outside linemen who are over 6'6" tall all have extraordinary defensive skills, and their defensive coverage is really large, which makes the Wizards' defense on the outside very expansive and deterrent.
Wu Di and Stackhouse are left and right, faintly centering on Jordan to press the outside line, which not only solves Jordan's lack of movement speed, but also makes the Wizards very effective on the defensive end.
Syllable~
A voice reached everyone's ears, and Doug Collins' eyelids twitched, followed by a smile of relief on Collins' face amid the boos of the fans and the cheers that erupted from the bench next to him.
Wu Di suddenly launched a defense, and Billups, who tried to break through Jordan, was stealed by Wu Di. After getting the ball, Wu Di did not hesitate to launch a fast attack, and the lightning speed was shown, and Wu Di came to a two-handed backhand dunk.
After turning over and falling, Wu Di saw Stark House standing behind him.
Although the other party was calm on the surface, Wu Di still found that the flash of gaze in Stark House's eyes was uncomfortable? Eat one's heart out? Still worried?
In short, Wu Di regretted that he was too addicted to the thrill of steals, but as a result, he ignored the "future boss of the Wizards" Starkerhouse, who played fast at the same time as him.
However, now that it has happened, Wu Di will also think too much on the court, he smiled at Stark House and said: "Jerry, you can't stop it, lead us forward, crush these guys." ”
The obvious compliment made a smile on Stackhouse's face, and he made an OK gesture at Wu Di, and then turned away.
Jordan stood aside and blinked, he seemed a little curious about what tricks Wu Di used to make Stackhouse so excited.
In three consecutive rounds, Stackhouse scored three goals, which immediately established a certain advantage for the Wizards, and at the end of the third quarter, the Pistons temporarily trailed by 13 points at 70-83.
Carlisle stood on the sidelines in a huff, snarling at the Pistons players.
Obviously, after the opponent has lost his main point guard, they are still playing so unsatisfactorily, which really can't satisfy him as a head coach.
Ben Wallace's face is not good-looking, he only grabbed 7 rebounds in this game, and he is not as protective of the box as in the previous games.
Although this is only one reason, it is enough to make the Pistons' crisis worse.
On the Wizards' side, the atmosphere in the rest area was particularly hot, and the players celebrated excitedly, as if they were about to win this crucial game of Tianwang Mountain.
"Boys, you've done a great job, and Doug is happy for you."
Wu Di and the others also laughed happily.
It was an easy game, and the Pistons got to where they were because they lacked that kind of offensive All-Star players. But the Wizards are different, the Wizards have two All-Star level players, Jordan and Starkerhouse, and this is precisely because these two players have very good individual offensive ability.
Stars with the ball tend to open up space for the team to attack, while other non-core players tend to face much less defensive pressure.
In this regard, the Wizards have the most intuitive embodiment.
And more importantly, in the third quarter of this game, the trident backcourt forward combination implemented by the Wizards was a sight to behold.
Some commentators, including those who believe that Doug Collins' approach has given the Wizards an unexpected effect.
