Before '01, if you asked Wizards fans what you thought was the worst deal management made so far, the answers were absolutely varied.

But after June 01, when I asked this question again, the answer was absolutely uniform:

We shouldn't have used the '01 pick to pick Kwame Brown as the "champion"!

If it weren't for this "biggest parallel import", maybe Michael Jordan's comeback in Washington would have reached even greater heights, and Washington would have received more attention.

Well......

They won't say that Michael Jordan chose Kwame Brown.

You might say, but that's also a private act.

More often than not, they will say that it is Kwame Brown himself who is not angry!

Kwame Brown is actually very wronged, he thinks he is a guy with strong pressure resistance, but he met a "monster" whose pressure ability far exceeds his pressure resistance ability as a teammate. And this "monster" also has an unparalleled status in the rivers and lakes.

At this time, more people will blame him for the final loss.

If he hits out......

Isn't everything different?

So when Michael Jordan announced his retirement, Kwame Brown was really relieved.

He worked on his shooting last summer, but when training camp began, he suffered an injury, and when he returned, he was no longer in the rotation of the head coach's roster, which made him spend a frustrating season, including this season, where he still sat on the bench.

And tonight, he has obviously become the "venting bucket" of the entire audience......

It's no wonder that the main players in front of you played so well, why did you have problems as soon as you got on the field.

He wanted to give some response, but unfortunately his teammates on the Wizards didn't trust him much and didn't pass him at all.

This makes him constantly do useless "switchback runs" on the field.

The appearance is even more dumbfounded.

This made the cursing even more turbulent.

At 3:34, the Wizards head coach put all the main players on the court, and after thinking about it, he pressed Hywood and put Kwame Brown on the court.

He must trust Haywood more than Kwame Brown, but in the first quarter, Haywood's top defense of Shaq O'Neal was really not ideal, and based on this consideration, he decided to put Kwame Brown on the court.

This is also the only thing about Kwame Brown that makes him feel excited:

This guy has very stocky lower limbs.

However, Wizards fans saw that the head coach still left Kwame on the court, and they couldn't help but curse at him, and this curse made the head coach of the Wizards almost couldn't hold back and put Kwame off the court again.

Sometimes, it's not that he doesn't like Kwame Brown, it's that the whole of Washington doesn't like Kwame Brown.

As a manager, there are some people who can not care about the reaction of the fans, but he is certainly not included in these people.

"Man, I'm sure you can give me a satisfactory explanation!"

He deliberately called Kwame Brown to him.

Kwamei, who has been denied for many years, heard this, and even a hot current surged into his heart.

Is this what trust feels like?

He decided that tonight he would respond to the manager's trust in him no matter what!

Stan Van Gundy also made a timely switch back to the starting lineup.

The Wizards' starting lineup was in great shape tonight, and while they had a bit of a lead at the start of the second quarter thanks to Wade, it wasn't huge. It takes the main players to come on the pitch to consolidate this advantage.

"Guys, put some more pressure on the opposite 0, don't let him play too easily!"

Before coming on the pitch, Stan Van Gundy called out the starters in front of him and made some arrangements for Arenas.

In the first round, Wade gave Arenas a very strong physical confrontation from the start, as Stan Van Gundy said.

After the new season has a "new turtle", the league referees are very strict about the hand touch on the outside, but the Heat team has benefited from Pat Riley's rigorous training and has already broken the original "bad habits" in training camp.

Especially an honest and obedient child like Wade, who is now fighting on the outside, his knee-jerk reaction is to puff up his chest and form a confrontation with the other party.

Arenas can no longer observe the position of his teammates in time in the confrontation, and can only look for suitable offensive opportunities in the strong burst with the ball.

But the Heat's terrifying defensive superiority was on display at this moment, and Woody and Gerald Wallace's outstanding mobility made Arenas' mid-range hesitant.

The calm state in the first section disappeared immediately.

Although Arenas forced a layup under the basket in this round, Stan Van Gundy did not yell at the court, nor did he intend to let the defense strengthen again. The changes that have made Arenas at the moment seem to him to be enough.

Because he also has the invincible "Audi" combination!

Kwame Brown is being bet on by the Wizards' head coach and is also very careful to watch the position of Shaq O'Neal and Woody.

He would have preferred Woody to receive the ball more than Shaq O'Neal.

Because he's fought against Shaq.

And as long as you are a player who has played against Shaq, you won't want to fight him a second time, this guy is really too strong!

It's so strong that you can't resist it.

On the contrary, it is Woody, and the media praises him very fiercely, but Kwamay-Brown has not played against him yet.

Including in his rookie season, because of Kwame Brown playing on the bench and Woody playing the No. 3 position, the two did not play each other very often. For such a guy, Kwame Brown believes that it will be easier to deal with than Shaq O'Neal anyway, right?

"Smack!"

A ground-hitting pass.

The ball went to Woody, who Kwame hoped for.

As the ball flew towards Woody, "Parallel Trade" actively moved towards Woody.

Jamison was also overjoyed when he saw that there were still people who "threw themselves into the net", and immediately gave up his position. At the same time, the favorability of Kwame Brown has increased by 1 point!

This kid is so cute!

He is worthy of being a rookie in the North Carolina draft.

North Carolina people don't lie to North Carolina people!

No, as soon as he saw that the North Carolina people were in trouble, he immediately came up to help......

In the first confrontation with Woody, because of Woody's catch, Kwame Brown suddenly made a force and squeezed him forward half a step before he stabilized his body.

At that time, two words silently floated out of Kwamei's heart:

That's it?

Woody was excited.

This kind of guy who takes the initiative to fight against him is really rare.

Before, whether it was Kevin Garnett or Chris Webber, even in the first round of confrontation, they did not take the initiative to exert force, they were afraid of Woody's size.

He didn't expect that this muffled "parallel champion" would be even tougher than them.

Ok, good, good!

That's great!

Woody immediately calmed down and began to fight Kwame Brown.

The first blow was a stand-up confrontation, so Woody didn't hold his "big killer".

This confrontation made Kwame Brown think that Woody was nothing more than that.

These reporters are always exaggerating.

But the next second after this fight, while Kwame Brown was still accumulating power, Woody's second impact was already in front of him.

"Phew!"

Kwame Brown's figure began to shake.

And at this moment, Woody pouted his butt, causing him to bounce back a big step.

Between the two people who were originally very close, a small space appeared at that time.

In Kwame-Brown's surprised eyes, Woody quickly turned and rushed to the basket to complete a one-handed slam dunk.

What?

Does the Wizards have no one to defend?

Jamison was under the basket, but he was firmly stopped behind by Shaq O'Neal, and he couldn't get over at all, and he really couldn't do anything but put his waist on the spot.

"Damn it, what the hell are you going to do!"

"Can anyone tell me how such a guy became the champion!"

"Kwame Brown, get out of Washington! There's no need for a soft egg like you here! “

……

In the slow-motion replay, it was obvious that Woody had pushed Kwame Brown away in just two clicks.

This can't help but make Washingtonians a little angry.

Even if Woody's back punch is really strong enough, just two touches like this will knock you away.

In addition to Woody's awesomeness, are you also good enough for food?

Boos erupted.

Jamison wanted to reach out and pat Kwame Brown's ass and comfort him, but he couldn't help but retract his hand.

He knew what it was like to be against Woody, but he was also afraid that he would be the target of public criticism.

He could only comfort Kwame Brown with his eyes:

Brother, hold on, buddy will always support you silently behind your back!

The difference came to 7 points.

Arenas continued to face Wade's tough confrontation in this round.

And in the confrontation, Wade also gradually got used to Arenas's style of play and began to keep up with his rhythm.

Arenas, who originally planned to play one by himself, saw that he couldn't get rid of Wade for a long time, so he could only throw the ball to Larry Hughes next to him when he rushed to the free throw line.

Hughes' lack of long-range shooting became an obstacle for the Wizards to score at this moment.

Arenas' previous cooperation with Hughes was also a pass to Hughes after Arenas broke through.

But at that time, it was basically Arenas who broke through with the ball and scattered the direction of the opponent, and Hughes's second breakthrough could get a very good opportunity. But this time it was different, when Hughes rushed to the basket with the ball, Arenas's defense that didn't rush away at all was waiting for him.

Hughes tried to make a time-poor layup with a "slow three-step", but as a result, Woody's outstretched arms, like tracking "locator missiles", followed him until the end, and when the ball came back from his hand, it detonated.

"Phew!"

A "racket hat" full of visual impact, Woody flew the ball directly outside the three-point line.

Hughes's eyes kept following the ball, and his body was also subconsciously running backwards.

The ball was controlled by Gerard Wallace.

But the Wizards' return defense speed is still very fast, and Hughes and Arenas are not slow to return to defense.

Gerard Wallace, who was holding the ball, did not force the attack, but chose to slow down and wait for Als to pass the half court and give the ball to the latter, allowing him to stabilize his rhythm.

"Alstom's role in this squad is indicated!" Bill Wharton gave a thumbs up.

A team like the Heat is in great need of someone who can control the tempo.

For example, in this round, it is actually okay to force an attack, but Shaq needs to follow up very quickly, which will consume a lot of his energy.

Rather than this, it is better to choose to wait for Shaq and Woody to pass the half as normal.

Anyway, judging from the current situation in the first half, as long as Shaq and Woody ask for positions under the basket, the Wizards basically have nothing to do with them.

The Wizards also knew what they were thinking here, so the intensity of interference with Alston was very strong, but Alston showed his skillful ball control ability at this time, as well as the "soft and slippery" level like a loach, and he still calmly controlled the ball in the face of Arenas' various high-pressure confrontations.

Bill Wharton showed him, and as a streetball player, it's rare to have that kind of consistency.

Kwame Brown didn't throw in the towel so easily, and he motioned to his teammates again for Woody to catch the ball and leave Shaq alone.

Jamison decisively gave up the position against Woody to him, and at the same time, his favorability for him increased by 1 again!

Those who are willing to resist at this time are good brothers!

Kwame is indeed riveted and wants to prove himself in front of Washingtonians, but he is indeed a little helpless in the face of Woody's big belly.

And after the previous round of testing, this round Woody's confrontation was obviously much stronger than before, Kwame Brown gritted his teeth to hold on, and was very experienced in Woody at the same time as using the "pouting ass" magic skill, he took a step back, so that although he did not resist Woody, he could still defend in front of Woody!

In this way, Woody can't face the frame, and he is equivalent to guarding Woody from it.

But what he didn't expect was that Woody didn't have enough space to turn around and throw the ball straight past him towards the rebound.

Kwame Brown's physical fitness is definitely not bad, but the problem is that Woody's hand happened suddenly, with Kwame Brown's brain, he didn't expect Woody to do this, so when the ball flew out of Woody's hand, he subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to stop Woody, but this just gave Woody the opportunity to drill next to him to the basket.

"Phew!"

Self-throwing and self-grabbing, Woody attacked twice and completed the violent dunk.

Now, the words of Washingtonians are even more difficult to hear.

Kwame Brown acted like a demented child in front of Woody this round, completely unable to keep up with Woody's rhythm and was completely teased by him, such a picture is a huge blow to the entire team.

The Wizards head coach sighed and took Kwame Brown off the court, knowing full well that if he didn't take Kwame down, these fans would have to greet his family!

Kwame Brown walked off the field with a frustrated face, he was helpless, but he also knew that he had once again failed to take his chance and let it slip away.
