(Today is still 3 more, the first change in the early morning is the usual recommendation vote.) ）

"This Chinese, his basket seems to be more accurate, and the range is longer."

Pippen's eyes burned, and a look of jealousy arose, but in an instant, the fighting intent on his body began to spread.

On the Wizards bench, a player wearing the number 15 jersey was constantly clapping, and there was a hint of wonder and admiration on his face, and it was obvious that he understood why Wu Di became the leader of the Wizards.

"Wu, you're much more terrifying than when you were in college." Player 15 grinned.

Looking at his teammates in front of him, Wu Di laughed and said: "That's natural, I'm so talented and working so hard, so naturally I'm getting better and better." It's you, Josh, you're still so scummy, you need to work hard. ”

Player No. 15 seems to have known Wu Di for a long time, only to see him laugh and scold: "Hey, Wu, you are too narcissistic, in the face of a future All-Star player, you must be more restrained." It won't be long before I catch up with you...... God above, punish this narcissistic, smug guy. ”

At this time, Arenas came out with a white towel on his head, and he was holding a drink in his hand.

"Hey, Josh, what do you think you're trying to do when you catch up with Wu Di? In the face of so many seniors, you can't be too ambitious. Oh, no matter how good you are, you can only be the third-in-command, uh, no, it's the fourth-in-command...... You see, Wu Di, me, and then Kwamei are not bad now......"

A team that was almost entirely young, Arenas laughed unceremoniously, ignoring Josh's depression.

And his subsequent sentence made the other party even more depressed: "Oh, by the way, Josh, you seem to be a rookie." Well, God above, you can only be last in line now. You'll also need to learn how to pour water for us first. ”

Wu Di was on the side, and when he saw Josh's deflated appearance, he also laughed happily.

However, Josh looked fierce, and saw him retort unceremoniously: "Hey, Gilbert, pay attention to your words, didn't you enter the league a year or two earlier than me, so as not to hit your former opponents so badly, I remember that you are my defeated subordinate." ”

When Arenas heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Hmph, here and there, just remember that I am better than you now." ”

When Josh heard this, he muttered, "Not necessarily." ”

Looking at the two bickering, Wu Di couldn't help but have thoughts, as if he had returned to the draft meeting.

Josh, whose full name is Josh Howard, is a rookie this year, a small forward from Wake Forest University, who is about the same height and weight as Wu Di, and is equally athletic.

In addition, Josh Howard's basket is also quite stable, but his offensive methods are really not flashy, so even if he wins the honor of the best player in the ACC region, he is still underrated.

According to this year's draft projections, Josh Howard rarely appears in the mid-first round, and some websites even rank him in the second round.

Wu Di and Arenas, who know Josh Howard better, naturally will not give up this excellent guy with a steady style of play, so under the joint recommendation of the United Wizards, the new management finally selected Josh Howard with the 22nd pick in the first round.

In the summer league and preseason games that followed, Josh Howard's watch made everyone's jaws drop, with at least 15 points and 5 boards per game, as well as steals and blocks.

Doug Collins witnessed this qiē and felt amazed.

With a terrifying defense, a steady offense, and an excellent big-picture view, Josh Howard is exactly the No. 3 spot he's looking for.

So, he plans to focus on developing this 23-year-old rookie.

……

The opening match began quickly, and the starters from both sides began to prepare for the pitch under the introduction of the live DJ.

And on the big screen at the scene, the list of starters also appeared one step earlier.

Wizards: Kwame Brown, Christian Leitner, Mike Dunleavy, Wu Di and Arenas.

And against the Bulls: Lonnie Baxter, Scott Pippen, Roger Mason, Jalen Rose and Eddie Curry Jr.

After the lineups of the two sides were laid out, the commentator in charge of the live broadcast of the game couldn't help but be surprised by the lineup of the Wizards.

"The Wizards' current roster is too young, the leader Wu Di is only 21 years old, and in the starters, in addition to Christian is 34 years old, Mike Dunleavy is 23 years old, Arenas and Kwame Brown are also 21 years old...... Is this lineup too young? ”

"The current wizards are clearly trying to train new people to complete the rebuild, and that's exactly the right way to go. It's just that, looking at the whole Wizards, I really don't see who has the potential to become an All-Star among these young people......"

"Yes, except for the spiritual leaders Oakley and Christian, the Wizards don't seem to be more than 25 years old, such a lineup, I can only say that the Wizards will definitely be in a lot of trouble in the new season. Moreover, the Wizards currently do not have All-Star players in charge, and the strongest ones seem to be rookie Arenas and rookie Wu Di...... With such a team, I think they can only finish outside the top 10 in the East, and it will be difficult for them to make the playoffs. ”

"Of course, unless it's a miracle, I'm not optimistic about such a young team with no talent."

……

The comments continued to reach the ears of the Wizards, and the faces of these young men immediately rose with a look of anger, and it was clear that this utter disregard for them was uncomfortable.

Oakley snorted lightly, then said in a loud voice, "Young men, show these people and make them understand the consequences of despising us." ”

Such encouragement is more direct, Wu Di also nodded secretly on the side, in his opinion, Oakley's way is right.

Obviously, the Wizards are young and don't have any recognized talents, but none of them can stand being looked down on like this.

I saw a fierce response from everyone on the Wizards team, so there was no official game, and the morale of the players was already extremely high.

……

When the referee's whistle blew to signal the start of the game, the Wizards' season opener finally began.

Wu Di's position is No. 2, and the task he has set for himself in the new season is to score, which is also the guiding task of the perfect system for him.

After the game started, Wu Di did not attack immediately.

The Wizards, on the other hand, insisted on rotating the ball under the arrangement of Doug Collins, and the offensive and defensive rhythm was very calm.

As for the opponent Bulls, with the starting Crawford, it is only the bottom team in the league, and now without Crawford, and the newly traded Starkerhouse is unable to play, the Bulls' lineup can only be described as old, weak, sick and disabled.

Against a group of young lads who can run and jump, the defensive entanglement alone is enough to make the Bulls drink a pot.

Soon, the first quarter was over, and the Wizards led by 11 points at 27:16.

The Wizards' defense made the Bulls feel troubled, and no one went to play alone, but with the cooperation of the group, the Wizards' offensive success rate was very high.

The Bulls seem to be vulnerable in the eyes of the Wizards, but it can't affect the competition between players.

After the second quarter of the game, Wu Di began to show his desire to attack, and Pippen naturally tried his best to defend.

In the first round, Wu Di used cover to get a chance to shoot, and then easily hit a three-pointer.

In the next round, Wu Di pretended to catch the ball, deceived Pippen, and then used his speed to easily shake him off. After cutting inside, Wu Di received a high-toss pass from Arenas and completed an aerial relay dunk.

After Pippen failed to defend twice in a row, he was not discouraged, but in the next round, Wu Di chose to face Pippen face to face.

This time, when almost all Bulls fans thought that Pippen could easily guard against Wu Di, the unexpected happened.

Wu Di used the continuous forward change of direction to shake Pippen away, and then faked a real shot to complete the dunk again.

Three attacks and three successes, it is clear that Pippen is unable to defend against Wu Di, who is a pervert of athleticism.

The Bulls then changed their defenders, but one-on-one defense didn't do much for Wu Di at all.

And when the Bulls began to choose to wrap Wu Di, the game had lost its suspense, so Wu Di stopped playing hard.

In the end, the fourth quarter of the game became Wu Di's rest time, and his personal statistics were fixed at 26 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, while the shooting percentage was a respectable 10-of-16, including 4-of-6 three-pointers.

The young Wizards' 110-78 win over the Bulls in the opener immediately attracted a lot of attention, and in addition to Wu Di, Arenas contributed 19 points and 8 assists, and Kwame Brown contributed a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds.
