Chapter 28 "99.9%", from the President's Care (Kneeling for Monthly Passes, Collections, Recommended Tickets)
Madison Square Garden, Jordan, who scored 51 points for the Wizards in the first game of his comeback, plus 7 assists and 11 rebounds, was honored by the entire arena when he was replaced by Wang Shuo at the break.
Since the Knicks had no intention of fighting, the last few minutes of the game were completely reduced to spicy chicken time.
In the end, the score of the two teams was 118-98.
In addition to Jordan, Pau Gasol, who made his NBA debut tonight, also received unanimous praise from Wizards fans after the game.
In the whole game, Gasol, who played the Knicks as a toy for the whole game, made 7 of 9 shots, plus free throws, and scored a total of 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, plus two blocks.
No way.
Although in this game, Gasol has been dealing cards for his teammates.
But the triangle offensive is so "poisonous".
Because the original intention of this unfortunate tactic was to allow his superstar to get better singles opportunities, even if Gasol's playmaking talent is visible to the naked eye, it will be difficult for him to brush up assists in games.
Wang Shuo plans to design a few more sets of high-post blocking and pick-and-roll tactics for Arenas and Gasol in the future, after all, he is not the kind of head coach like Popovich who is not used to seeing players play well in game statistics.
Wang Shuo hopes that every player who has executed tactics on the field will get the rewards they deserve, whether it is game statistics or personal accolades.
After the game, Wang Shuo, who was waiting for Boss Qiao to take a shower, attended a press conference with him.
As soon as the impatient reporters came up, they asked Jordan: "Michael, this is your debut after three years, did you think before the game that you would get '50'+' in this game?" ”
Even if it is Jordan, who is full of honor, he is inevitably a little excited tonight, looking at the reporter who asked him a question, only to see him reply: "Everything that happened tonight, I just want to say that it is unbelievable!"
To be honest, just yesterday, I was worried about whether my body would be able to support me through this fight.
But you also saw that it was all wonderful, and it just happened. ”
After a pause, Jordan continued: "I'm grateful to my teammates for their trust in me, and I'm grateful for the head coach's encouragement, and I didn't have to do it alone to score 51 points tonight. ”
Don't look at Wang Shuo's previous complaints about Jordan's low EQ, but in fact, as long as you can make him see hope, then his EQ will immediately become higher than anyone else.
During the Bulls period, Jordan did a lot of rope twisting work off the court.
Jordan had a great night tonight, so he was more than happy to share his joy with his teammates.
At the press conference, after asking Boss Qiao a few questions one after another, the reporters turned the microphone to Wang Shuo, "Tonight is your debut in your coaching career, the Wizards were not favored before the game, but you won the Knicks by 20 points in the game, what do you think of this result?" ”
Wang Shuo pondered for two seconds and said, "I don't think anyone except Charles Barkley will be dissatisfied with the result of this game." ”
Hearing this, the reporters were happy, and secretly said in their hearts that Wang Shuo and Barkley were completely on the bar now.
"After the opener, how do you think the team will perform in the coming season?" The reporters then asked.
Wang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am very optimistic about us, and I have always believed that we will surprise the world in the new season." ”
"If you can keep up tonight, what odds do you think you'll make the playoffs?" The reporters asked.
As a team that was still "diving to the championship" last season, to be honest, if it wasn't for Jordan's performance tonight, then in the eyes of most people, the Wizards want to make the playoffs this season, which is simply a fool's dream.
"99.99%, there is a 0.01% probability, I will give the asteroid, because if an asteroid suddenly hits the earth, even if it is replaced, I can't help it." Wang Shuo replied cautiously.
Reporter: "......"
!
Why are there such "self-confident" people in this world?
The reporters, who felt that they could not continue to talk that day, ended this rather pleasant interview decisively.
The next day, Jordan's miracle in New York successfully washed the major sports newspapers and magazines in the United States.
Of course, while people did not hesitate to praise Jordan, they were also discussing Wang Shuo's "99.99%".
Wang Shuo knows very well that the "extreme personality" he deliberately set up for himself is destined to become the focus of the NBA in the new season.
In the market, some people think that Wang Shuo has been carried away by victory.
Some people even sprayed directly, thinking that Wang Shuo was just stained with Michael Jordan's light, and they didn't know what he had to be proud of.
Because they were preparing for the next day's away game against the Hawks, the Wizards did not choose to return to Washington, but flew directly to Atlanta after the game against the Knicks.
On the plane, the members of the coaching staff, who were worried that Wang Shuo would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion, were relieved for a moment after seeing the calm expression on this cargo.
Since the members of the coaching staff all know that Wang Shuo is deliberately diverting the attention of the media in order to gain more room for the growth of this young wizard, no one in the wizards' coaching staff is dissatisfied with Wang Shuo's arrogant personality in front of people.
On the plane to Atlanta, looking at Hamilton, who had been listening to songs and not making up for sleep, I saw Wang Shuo sitting directly next to him and said, "Richard, I have a question for you." ”
Seeing this, Hamilton hurriedly took off his headphones.
"I've heard people say you've always wanted to endorse AJ, is that true?" Wang Shuo asked.
Hamilton nodded.
"That's bad, in my opinion, you're destined to never be able to endorse AJ in your life." Wang Shuo suddenly sighed and said.
Hamilton was puzzled as to why Wang Shuo would suddenly say that.
At this time, after taking out the tactical board from somewhere, I saw Wang Shuo review the opening game between the Wizards and the Knicks, and said to Hamilton: "Let me ask you, why can you go around a little more to catch the ball in these attacks, but in the end your choice is to go back?" ”
Hamilton was stopped by Wang Shuo.
"I know, Michael is your idol, so you'd love to create a one-on-one misplaced singles opportunity for him. But Richard, have you ever thought about it...... You're not helping him, you're putting him in danger? Wang Shuo then asked.
Continuing to fiddle with the tactical board, Wang Shuo added: "You are the most consistent scoring point on this Wizards team other than Michael. But in the first game, you only had five shots.
Try to think about it, Richard, if I were the head coach of the opposing team, how would I defend it? ”
Wang Shuo knows that after learning from the opening game, as long as the head coach of the Hawks is not an idiot, then he will definitely make some targeted arrangements in the next game between the Wizards and the Hawks.
Wang Shuo doesn't want Hamilton to become a "Han Butou" because of chasing stars on the field.
Because then, no matter how good Hamilton's fitness is, he will no longer have the ability to open up space for Jordan.
In Wang Shuo's original time and space, why was the peak "water splash" a pair of 1+1 greater than 2 combinations?
Because of these two people, you don't dare to let anyone go, and everyone has to send someone to keep an eye on them.
But why don't you dare to let go of these two people?
Isn't it because these two goods don't agree at a glance and throw them away?
And it's still a thief.
On the plane, after being severely educated by Wang Shuo, Hamilton said to Wang Shuo: "Coach, I understand, I will definitely make changes in the next games and play the content of the game that satisfies you!" ”
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "Not to satisfy me, but to satisfy yourself."
Remember, Richard, pitchers, you can only make your opponents feel intimidated if you shoot more and shoot accurately! ”
As early as when the NBA just announced the schedule, Wang Shuo noticed that in the next November, the only opponent for the Wizards to be a little more difficult to play was the Philadelphia 76ers.
I have to say that Stern really takes care of Jordan like a brother.
In Wang Shuo's view, if the Wizards don't grasp such a good schedule in the end, what is the difference between it and Chris Paul, who always drops the chain at critical moments?
Wang Shuo knows very well that the Wizards will not only strive to play beautifully in this period, but also strive to win as many as possible.
Because if the Wizards really want to wrestle with the Lakers this season.
Then the Wizards must make good use of the current alliance pattern of "the East is weak and the West is strong".
You know, the difficulty of playing 50 wins in the east is not the same level as the west.
And even more so......
During this period, the Lakers still have a fine tradition of always liking to wave in the regular season?
