In Wang Shuo's original timeline, "braces boy" Stephen Curry is undoubtedly synonymous with ultra-long three-pointers.

So here's the problem......

Who was synonymous with the NBA's ultra-long three-point before Stephen Curry?

The answer is none other than Arenas, who is warming up on the pitch at the moment.

When the Wizards needed to select the rookies in this year's draft, Wang Shuo immediately thought of the name of Arenas.

It is true that Tony Parker, the "French supercar" in the same class as Arenas, is also very good, and his peak is longer, and he also won the Finals MVP in Wang Shuo's previous life, but in terms of tactical style, Parker's abrupt style can be said to be seriously incompatible with Boss Joe in his later years.

Throughout his career, Parker has a 64.5% finishing rate under the basket and a staggering 34.8% shooting percentage, but his pull-up jump shot that was blown up by Spurs fans will have an overall career shooting rate of more than 40%.

So, if you really want to pick Parker, you're going to have to design a lot of pick-and-roll tactics for him so that he can play to his best strengths, right?

After all, Parker's breakthrough efficiency and basket finishing rate can be called a history even if you count point guards of all eras, and if you don't let him break through, is it possible, you just want him to be the Wizards' "dribble guard"?

But the question is, once you choose to develop Parker in this way, does that have to be in his hands for a long time?

Also, after he breaks in, where do you want to put Boss Qiao at that time?

Ha?

You say you can get Jordan to cover Parker and then pull to the outside to shoot mid-range shots?

Wake up!

Do you really think of reality as a game? In this Wizards team, you just want to grab the core position of Boss Joe, who is also a rookie Parker?

Believe it or not, Wang Shuo really did this, or in two weeks, the Wizards would have a dream with him in life, and they would be wonderful?

Wang Shuo never needs to think about the future, but the present.

Therefore, although in the 01 class, there is still a vacant interior Zach Randolph who can open up space, Wang Shuo has never considered it.

Because not to mention Randolph's character, just to say that he needs time to level up, how can he compare to Pau Gasol?

What?

You think you can find a way to get Randolph and Gasol together?

So here's the problem......

Why don't you want to defend anymore?

Randolph and Gasol, what is the dream of opposing defenders?

In addition, the reason why Wang Shuo plans to find a way to let the Wizards make a complete gamble this year is also related to the fact that he wants to play as soon as possible and does not want to stay with the Wizards in the future.

If he can really achieve some results in the Wizards, Wang Shuo will definitely change teams to challenge after his contract expires.

Wang Shuo doesn't like to coach a team all the time, because instead of working for a capitalist and choosing a city to protect a city, he wants to take advantage of such a rare opportunity in his life to coach more different teams and coach the NBA superstars with different personalities in his memory.

For example, if there is a real opportunity in the future, Wang Shuo would like to cooperate with LeBron James.

After all, as the only designated James leader of the global James Support Club, who doesn't love Jr. Zhan's rugby offense and his unique, unconventional shooting posture?

Of course, that's all for later.

In short, Arenas, who has the ability of "dribbling and shooting" and "ultra-long three-point", which are still very rare in this era, is the key to his offensive tactics in the new season in Wang Shuo's eyes.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Arenas, who didn't get a chance to play until the second half of the season in his debut season, averaged 10.9 points in 24 minutes per game.

In the 02/03 season, he was trusted by the team's coach and immediately handed over a report card averaging 18.3 points per game plus 6.3 assists.

And, after the 02/03 season, Arenas would also create a notable clause by switching to the Wizards that summer.

Yes, it is the famous "Arenas Clause".

In fact, at this time in 2001, the NBA, which had just gone through a shutdown and was still adapting to the new system, was still full of bugs.

And David Stern, who constantly plays the role of a bug fixing programmer in the maintenance system, could have imagined that a young man who fully understands how many bugs there are in the NBA in this era is wondering how to pull his blood pressure.

In the training gym, in addition to Arenas, the young players who were invited by the Wizards to come for a tryout today are Earl Watson, Sean Lampley, Ruben Bonteger and the famous face of the future NBA's bad contract, Bobby Simmons.

As for Boss Qiao, who promised Wang Shuo that he would come to the trial site?

Excuse me......

It wasn't until the warm-up and various physical fitness tests of the young men on the court were over, and even the half-time offensive and defensive drills were halfway through, that the domineering Michael Jordan was late.

No way.

Boss Ren Qiao is millions a second at this time, so how can he take this kind of small scene to heart?

Even to put it mildly, Boss Qiao can come today, completely because he is forcibly promoting Wang Shuo, whom he has chosen.

However, although he came a little late, Wang Shuo knew that as long as Jordan could come, his plan would be half successful.

"Well, which is the thorn you mentioned?" On the training ground, as soon as Jordan appeared, the young people on the court became excited.

Oh, my God!

It's live Michael Jordan!

On the sidelines, after letting the loud Mike Malone remind the young people that they were still tryouts, Wang Shuo pointed to Arenas on the field and said, "It's him, Gilbert Arenas." ”

Jordan nodded and said, "How did he perform in the trial?" ”

Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "I feel like I've lost my eyes, and he's not suitable for us at all." ”

Hearing this, Jordan first knocked out a small question mark on the public screen, and then three huge question marks popped up above his head.

No!

Dude, you're not making fun of your buddies, are you?

Holding back for the time being, Jordan looked at Arenas, who was doing a half-court offensive and defensive drill with the others.

On the court, after a delicate crossover shook off Earl Watson, Arenas pulled up and sniped in an instant.

Hmmm——!

Basketball hollow into the net.

doesn't blow it or black, this exquisite goal, even if Jordan watched it, he unconsciously shouted a good ball for him in his heart.

Then, in the next round, Watson returned a three-pointer from Arenas on the perimeter.

However, where is Arenas's character the kind of person who can be wronged?

Hmmm——!

On the court, after shaking off Watson with Sam Gold, Arenas burst into the basket and forced Bonteje to pull the ball in.

What a domineering Answer.Ball!

Although it was only two rounds, I don't know why, Jordan just thought he looked at Arenas this young man very well.

Because in Jordan's view, young people have to be sharp and show their youthful and vigorous side, otherwise what else are you calling a young man?

Hiss——!

Wait a minute!

What is this called bad performance?

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, on the sidelines, looking at Wang Shuo, who didn't seem to be very satisfied with Arenas's performance, Jordan suddenly began to doubt Wang Shuo's eyes at this moment.

"Isn't he playing pretty well?" Jordan questioned Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo shook his head again and again and said, "I don't think so." ”

"What exactly are you referring to?" Jordan asked.

Wang Shuo said bluntly: "I played too alone, and the players on his team almost couldn't touch the ball." ”

Hearing this, Jordan hesitated for a moment, and then after Arenas sent a delicate ground-hitting pass to his teammates on the court, he felt ......

Wang Shuo's eyes may really have some problems.

"I think it's him." Jordan, who has always been convinced of his own eyes, suddenly said to Wang Shuo with a determined face.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo touched the back of his head and said, "This is decided?" ”

The domineering Jordan nodded: "I think people can never make mistakes.

This kid dares to fight, although I haven't been with you for a long time, but I know that you are indeed very accomplished in tactics, but in terms of selection, maybe you still need me to help you grasp it. ”

Oh?

At this moment, looking at Jordan's expression of "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel", Wang Shuo stared at Boss Qiao for half a minute in a dumb and cute manner.

So, Boss Qiao's subjective initiative can be regarded as being stimulated by himself?

In fact, before Boss Joe arrived at the training gym, the three Mike and Wang Shuo had been raving about Arenas.

But Wang Shuo, who is familiar with Boss Qiao's character, knows very well that if he keeps praising Arenas in front of Jordan after Jordan comes, it may have the opposite effect at that time.

Because Jordan is a man......

Especially Wizard Joe.

While being too rigid and self-serving, it is also too decisive.

Therefore, only by helping Boss Qiao lower his expectations of Arenas first, and then letting him discover the advantages of Arenas through his own discerning eyes, Wang Shuo feels that this can be done today.

And the result once again confirmed Wang Shuo's idea.

That is, at the next gambling table, we must give full play to Jordan's own subjective initiative in order to achieve the goal he Wang Shuo wants.

"I believe that you look at people's eyes, Michael, the person you pick will not be wrong!" Looking at Jordan, Wang Shuo smiled.

Jordan shrugged his shoulders, at this moment, he felt that Wang Shuo was indeed a little cute, but he also felt that maybe he and Wang Shuo could become a good partner, so he said: "I heard that the scouts have sent back the game video of the player named Pau Gasol that you recommended earlier, how about it?" ”

Wang Shuo said with some disappointment: "Alas, I shouldn't have said big things to you at that time, Michael, I feel ......"

Get......

From your point of view, if you didn't have me, you would only be able to mix in college basketball for the rest of your life!

Alas——!

On the sidelines, after a long sigh, Jordan said to Wang Shuo: "After the draft draw is over, I will ask Wes to contact his agent, or I have to let him come to the trial alone, otherwise I will not worry." Oh yes, I'll be there then, too. ”

Wang Shuo nodded again and again, and said, "That's great!" ”

Jordan patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder and said, "This kid named Gilbert, how is the draft market?" ”

Wang Shuo said: "It's probably in the middle of the second round. ”

Jordan was shocked and called out that the NBA scouts were blind, "I feel that the NBA should really fire these scouts, such a wonderful young man is only in the second round?"

After the tryout, I'll talk to Wes alone for a while, and if possible, we'll try to figure out how to pick him with a first-round pick. ”

Although Jordan will sell his Wizards stock after preparing for his comeback, Jordan has always regarded the Wizards as his future team until he fell out with the team's owner.

Therefore, Wang Shuo knows why Jordan wants to use the first-round pick to select Arenas.

Because this proves that Jordan is really tempted.

Since the NBA does not have a Arenas clause at this time, if the Wizards only use second-round picks to select Arenas this year, Arenas will easily be poached by other teams in the future.

"I'll listen to you." Looking at Jordan, Wang Shuo smiled.

Hearing this, Jordan was happy, and at the same time as giving Wang Shuo 5 points of favorability in friendship, he also gave Wang Shuo a big gift.

"I don't think just having a Gilbert is enough.

We need to take a complete gamble this summer!

Even if I'm back in good form this year, I'm 38 years old, so we've got to do a big job in the new season! At the end of the trial, turning his head to look at Wang Shuo, who was already regarded as his own person, Jordan said with a serious face.

Tut!

Really!

Michael Jordan is the one the Washington Wizards favorite bet on.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo immediately said that he felt the same way, and said that he would always stand on the same front with Jordan.

Resolutely support Boss Joe and bring down all those who try to stop the revival of the Wizards!

"Are you free next?" Jordan asked.

Wang Shuo nodded.

"I thought about it again, anyway, I happen to be free next, why don't you accompany me to Spain.

Now the mere thought of the scouts' reports makes me sick to my stomach.

I wanted to see for myself the player who these scouts called 'Big Kukoc'. After pondering for a moment, Jordan said.

Work quickly, act decisively, and never hesitate when making decisions.

Undoubtedly, these are the merits of Michael.

But after getting along with him for half a month, Wang Shuo knew why he had so many slots after becoming the boss.

Because in addition to the above advantages, Jordan also has the disadvantages of being self-serving, too paranoid, and too conceited.

The other thing is......

Because the honor has long been full, Wizard Joe's emotional intelligence is indeed not a fraction of Kobe's.

At the end of the trial, looking at Arenas, who happily came to find him to sign an autograph, he saw that Boss Qiao's old face suddenly collapsed, and said, "Now you are not worthy of asking me for an autograph." (Hamilton: yes, I don't deserve to wear AJ either)

At this moment, Arenas was directly dead in the heart.

Fortunately, Wang Shuo pulled Arenas aside in time and said to him: "Don't get me wrong, Michael means that you have to impress him with your performance on the court next season before he will recognize you." ”

Looking at Wang Shuo, Arenas, who has a normal IQ and never picks up garbage to eat, immediately understood Wang Shuo's meaning, "I understand, coach!" ”

Wang Shuo smiled, "It's good to understand." Oh yes, and if you can, remember to talk to your agent when you go back and push off tryouts from other teams, because we're going to pick you with a first-round pick. ”

Arenas was shocked, first-round pick?

Wang Shuo knew that once Jordan made up his mind, even ten O'Neal would not be able to change it, so he dared to make such a verbal promise to Arenas.

Now, the gamble has begun.

With Boss Qiao, the biggest gambler, entering the game, Wang Shuo knew that he already had the most important chips in this gambling game!
