146, the new leader of the Wizards

(The third more, 1w2 recommended plus more, ask for collection!) Thanks)

"On October 29, 2003, the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls reached a deal, former All-Star Jerry Starkerhouse was sent to the Bulls, and the Wizards will receive the Bulls' '07 first-round pick and Jamal Crawford and trade exceptions."

Before the start of the game between the Wizards and the Chicago Bulls, the news of the trade between the two teams suddenly surfaced, and the whole United States was in an uproar, and Stackhouse was finally traded.

Naturally, the bottom of the news will give an introduction to the entire transaction in order to give an idea of the specifics of the transaction.

Last season, Stackhouse was able to average a team-high 20.9 points per game for the Wizards, as well as 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, which is a very good example, and considering that he played next to Jordan, it is clear that his shrinking numbers do not mean that his strength has declined.

Therefore, Stackhouse at this time is more than capable of being the starter or even the core of any team...... What's more, next season, Stackhouse's salary is only 6.91 million.

An All-Star player with an annual salary of less than 700w, even if he is a little outdated, it can still be said that he is what any team desperately wants to have.

Of course, many people understand that the reason why the Wizards are determined to trade Stackhouse, which is so "cost-effective", seems to be to determine their plan to cultivate Wu Di.

Trade rivals Chicago Bulls have been at the bottom of the league in recent years. All the while, the Bulls wanted to be able to complete the rebuild.

But after spending the next three years of draft picks, the Bulls' record improved last season, but it's still not very optimistic.

So when they had the opportunity to have a player of Stackhouse's caliber to improve the team's record, they naturally agreed to a trade without hesitation.

Moreover, getting Stackhouse for them to only have to pay Jamal Crawford, who is on a rookie contract, is like pie in the sky.

Although Jamal Crawford contributed 10.7 points and 4.2 assists last season, his ability is far inferior to that of the 30-year-old Stackhouse.

Therefore, just trading one Crawford for Starkhouse, the Bulls will naturally nod in agreement as long as they are not stupid.

Although there was an additional first-round pick, the Bulls weren't going to turn down a seemingly sure-fire deal because of the unknowns of the '07 draft.

When the trade happened, the whole league began to talk about it, and it was clear that the Wizards had made a loss-making deal this time, and some teams were envious of the fact that the Bulls had gotten such a big sweetness.

However, although it is a loss, at least the instability within the Wizards team has been completely eliminated, which is what the Wizards' management and coaching staff want to see.

In just an instant, after the Stackhouse trade took place, the news that Wu Di was announced by the Wizards as the new leader of the Wizards also came out, and then spread around the world at a very fast speed.

Chinese players? Or a shooting guard, he became the leader of an NBA team! This made countless fans feel shocked in their hearts.

Although Wu Di was good enough last season and once led the Wizards to compete for the O'Brien Cup in the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, his youth, experience and even personal ability are not enough to make him the leader of the Wizards.

As a result, too many doubts began to appear around the world, and Charles Barkley said immediately after the trade: "Obviously, the new management of the Wizards has made a stupid decision, they will lose a good opportunity for the team to turn around, you must know that Washington has been silent for too long." Young Wu Di will take away the hope of the Wizards' rise. ”

Obviously, Wu Di's encounter with this encounter is more questionable, and everyone is looking forward to whether he can be as magical as last season? Can he use his actions to change the skeptical perception of others?

And the answer seems to be in the new season that has already begun, so Wu Di's new season's watch has attracted much attention.

The game was played at Chicago's home stadium, and the atmosphere on the road was obviously not enthusiastic enough, which shows that Chicago has obviously fallen too much after Jordan's departure.

With an attendance rate of less than sixty percent, people can't help but sigh a little that this former dynasty has instantly declined to such a point.

On the four huge screens hanging above the basketball hall, the team logos of the Wizards and the Bulls appeared on it, and the representative player on the logos of the two teams, the Wizards, was Wu Di.

And on the other side turned out to be Scott Pippen.

Wu Di looked up at the situation above the stadium, and his heart was also full of spirit, he didn't expect that he would successfully sit in the position of team leader in just one season.

He couldn't help but feel what it felt like to be the boss, take a deep breath, and then close his eyes to feel, but he couldn't help but think that there seemed to be nothing left but excitement and more confidence.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be the master of a team, and there seems to be nothing special about it." Wu Di smiled freely.

After experiencing this feeling, he suddenly felt that this feeling was not as good as the feeling of climbing to the best sixth man position in his first season, and that feeling gave him a sense of fulfillment and groundedness.

And now this feeling made him feel unsteady, he couldn't help but think about it, and then understood.

Sitting in the position of the boss means that he is going to take on a responsibility, and he needs to play a role that a leader should have.

It may be said that from now on, he needs to defend this position.

But he doesn't have any sense of crisis and pressure, and he has always been calm about these things, and he doesn't have any special paranoia and needs.

After feeling it, Wu Di couldn't help but sweep his gaze to Scott Pippen on the side of the field.

The second-in-command next to Jordan seems to have lost the style of the year. He's old, and his current wandering life can't help but make people sigh.

Although he is now back in Chicago, it has long been a matter of fact, and all that kind of memory can no longer be truly touched here.

It is clear that the era in which he lived has come to an end......

Out of respect for the veteran, Wu Di took the initiative to greet Pippen, which was what he longed to do in his heart.

In private, he doesn't take any player lightly. And for every veteran, he will choose to respect.

Pippen seemed to be very happy, and in front of Wu Di, he laughed loudly: "Wu Di, I'm really happy to be able to fight you again, I'm very optimistic about your future." ”

When Wu Di heard this, a smile also appeared on his face.

Many people say they are optimistic about him, nothing more than because of his shooting crosshairs. Now Wu Di has almost no blind spots in the three-point line and mid-range positions, and it is precisely this kind of player who can always maintain a competitive level.

Looking at the veteran who was about to retire in front of him, Wu Di seemed to see the demeanor of the Bull No. 33 in the basketball world, and suddenly, a trace of yearning rose in Wu Di's eyes.

"Scott, I've always wanted to be able to play against you younger, that's my dream, it's not destined to come true."

When Pippen heard this, his expression was natural, and he smiled with interest: "What? Am I now considered worthless by you? Little one, today I'm going to tell you that Scott's tank is still full. ”

Wu Di shook his head and chuckled, "Then I'll see you in the game." ”

Looking at Wu Di who turned to leave, Pippen also had a fighting spirit, obviously he didn't think that Wu Di's words were contemptuous of himself, on the contrary, Wu Di was able to take the initiative to chat with him, which was a sign of respect for him.

And also out of respect, Pippen decided to go all out.

Wu Di returned to the Wizards' rest area, only to see a basketball flying over.

After receiving it very quickly, I saw Wu Di smile slightly, turned around immediately, and under the light of his toes, the basketball was thrown out by Wu Di at will.

Swish~

The basketball arced high and fell into the net bag with a thud.

And Wu Di was facing away from the hoop at the moment when the basketball fell into the bag, obviously, after he threw the basketball casually, he didn't care.

Such a chic scene suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of some fans, and after a burst of exclamations, there was applause.

Scott Pippen witnessed this scene, and the seriousness on his face suddenly became stronger.
