Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Careful Basketball God, Wang Shuo's Ambition! (Kneel for monthly passes, collections, recommended tickets)
At that time, the train of light slowly passed by, and 38-year-old Michael Jordan stood there, looking affectionately at the past, full of his own 28-year-old shadow......
Oh, wait, no!
Director Wang, didn't you say that Jordan would press the switch button of "God Descends to Earth"?
Why on the court, that young man who shoots and how to have, he wears a headband?
In the fourth quarter of the game, at the most critical decisive moment, someone in the Wizards did step up.
Merely......
This man is not Michael Jordan.
But......
Richard Hamilton!
In fact, tonight's game, the Pacers have been "loving" to Boss Joe.
O'Neal Jr. has a good ability to assist in the low post, and the Pacers have Jeff Foster, a big white bear on the inside, who can protect the basket, so the efficiency of Boss Joe sitting in the low post tonight is not high.
And, as Joe's old rival, how could the Pacers' head coach Isaiah "Smiling Assassin" Thomas give Jordan a chance to show himself?
Of course, a thousand words are said in ten thousand......
Boss Joe's game is mainly due to his own hand problems.
In the first three quarters of the game, he was only 5 of 20 shots, and he was so iron that Wang Shuo doubted his life.
However, the game of basketball is fun and interesting.
After all, what's the point of a basketball game if you can tell the difference just by looking at the lineups of the two warring sides?
Fortunately, although it feels very iron, Boss Qiao's head is not iron.
In the last quarter, after re-entering the court, Jordan, who noticed that Thomas was still setting up a heavy net against himself, decisively used his own taunting ability to frequently create mid-range and three-point shooting opportunities for Hamilton.
For one night, Hamilton lived up to his idol's expectations.
In the new season, thanks to the Wizards' stronger overall strength, Hamilton's efficiency on the court is simply "Ha Man".
In addition to shooting 48.5 percent overall, he also shot 40.5 percent from three-point range and 88 percent from the free-throw line.
In Wang Shuo's eyes, in addition to defense, Hamilton is like the Klay Thompson of this Wizards.
On the court, because the Pacers' defensive line was attracted to Jordan, Miller Sr. had to take on the heavy responsibility of marking Hamilton alone.
As a result, watch Hamilton slip Reggie Miller from the left half to the right and back from the right half back to the left......
Say it and you may not believe it.
Jordan felt that it was even cooler than his own score in front of Miller!
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo always felt that in addition to wanting to win, the reason why Jordan was willing to support Hamilton in the fourth quarter tonight was probably because he wanted to see Hamilton slip through old Miller.
Don't ask.
Asking is ......
How can you be the "God of Basketball"?
Compared with his peak, Reggie Miller, who has turned 31 this year, has dropped a lot in terms of fitness and running ability.
Before the NBA's sports medical level was improved, and the NBA emphasized that "minor injuries are not in the line of fire", so Miller, who was also playing with bandages tonight, was destined to be Hamilton's background board.
At this moment.
At that time, the train of light slowly passed by the Conceco Arena, and the 31-year-old Reggie Miller was standing there, looking at the past with affectionate eyes.
In the NBA, there's everyone at their peak.
But don't take that moment forever.
On the pitch, Hamilton, who was ambushed in the bottom left corner, slipped to the other side with the cover of Ron Artest's bottom line.
Then, on the right side, he borrowed Pau Gasol's cover and ran to the top arc.
Dragging his heavier legs and panting for air, Reggie Miller hurried to barely keep up with Hamilton.
However, at this moment, Hamilton suddenly made a reverse run and after receiving a pass from Michael Jordan, he shot into his fourth quarter from the free throw line to the right......
14th point!
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, just a few minutes ago, the Pacers fans at the home of the famous Devils in the NBA were still cheering for the home team.
Can......
Right now, this arena has become a library.
Hamilton's big outburst in the final quarter completely upset the balance on the court.
In the end, 108-98, the Wizards continued to lead the East with an incredible 11-game winning streak after defeating the Pacers on the road!
In addition to scoring 14 points, he still maintained a high standard on the rebounding side, "fighting" for the team on this night, plus 8 assists.
Hamilton, who scored 14 points in the final six minutes of the final quarter, finished with a total of 27 points, two rebounds, and two assists.
After the game, in an interview, I don't know if it was because Hamilton had slipped his old rival away today, Jordan actually praised Hamilton by name.
"Richard is the best pitcher on our team, and I'm sure he'll be an All-Star in the future."
On the side, when Hamilton, who happened to be passing by on the way, heard Boss Qiao's evaluation of him, the unlucky child almost cried.
Idols praise me!
My idol praises me!
After returning to the locker room, looking at Hamilton's picture of wanting to take out his mobile phone and tell all his friends and relatives Jordan to praise him tonight, Wang Shuo can now understand why Jordan's words, thousands of kilometers away, can have such a big impact on the young Mamba in Los Angeles.
Let's ask, in this era, who doesn't want to hear Jordan praise himself?
In Wang Shuo's view, the encouragement from Jordan is probably better for Hamilton than educating him ten times.
After the game, at the press conference, reporters asked Wang Shuo to comment on Boss Qiao's performance tonight.
Wang Shuo knew that these reporters were digging a pit for themselves again.
So, after thinking for a while, I saw Wang Shuo smile and said: "Michael's quasi-triple-double to help the team win is difficult to hide the decline, Shaq hangs the war-free card as a wall watch, showing the king's demeanor!" ”
Hearing this, the reporters felt that Wang Shuo had made another big news for everyone.
Although, their original intention was to artificially create a rift between him and Jordan through Wang Shuo's evaluation of Jordan.
After all, Boss Qiao's performance tonight was indeed average.
Therefore, no matter whether Wang Shuo blows or answers truthfully, there is a high probability that he will be hit.
However, how did this group of talented reporters think that Wang Shuo would be so talented?
The next day, many American media quoted Wang Shuo's comment to make news headlines.
And then......
Los Angeles.
If he could, he O'Neill really wanted to hire a gunslinger to cheat this slut named Wang Shuo.
, wait!
Wait for my return with full blood, uncle, and wait until February next year, and see how I hammer your dog's head!
At the moment, O'Neill was angry.
On the other hand, Kobe Bryant was also angry.
Because on the same day, the Lakers lost again.
At Denver's plateau home, Kobe Bryant, who shot only 11 of 30 shots in the game and hit 19 irons, successfully led the Lakers and ceded the top spot in the West to the San Antonio Spurs.
The competition in the west is truly outrageous.
Although the Lakers have suffered two consecutive defeats recently after O'Neal's injury, they have not won the top spot in the West after the 9-2 start......
Wang Shuo made up his mind in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still have to go to the west to coach.
After all......
always played against a bunch of stinky chess baskets, and he reached the finals ten times in a row, but he couldn't show his strength.
In other words, after the game with the Pacers, in addition to discovering through the system, the morale of the current Wizards' team has risen to 100 because of this wave of 11 consecutive wins, after successively completing a series of tasks such as "career first victory", "first consecutive victory", "first five consecutive wins" in the "Road to Conquest" task tree, Wang Shuo also successfully unlocked a new feature of the system.
That is, the "sniffing" function.
In the interface of this "probe" function, Wang Shuo will get a fixed 10 probing value every week.
For each win he leads his team, he gains an additional 2 probe points.
Because the number of matches and weeks of matches before this feature was unlocked is also counted, so at the moment, Wang Shuo has accumulated a total of 62 probe points.
Now the problem arises.
What can Wang Shuo do with this probe value?
To put it simply, for every 60 probing points Wang spends, he can probe the current morale and current training level of any NBA team.
In other words, this thing is equivalent to providing Wang Shuo with a huge intelligence network.
Of course, as a reasonable system, the system also has such a sentence on the warm reminder:
"Because the information provided by this system is done through big data analysis, there may be discrepancies with reality, so please refer to it carefully."
After thinking carefully in his mind for a while, Wang Shuo decisively chose Spur as his first object of exploration.
Wang Shuo's reason for choosing the Spurs is very simple, because he wants to make a horizontal comparison with the current Wizards through the system's analysis of the Spurs, which have always been known for their discipline.
I don't know if I don't see the result......
Even a top team like the Spurs only scored 80 points in the system's training rating.
In addition, the Spurs' current team morale is also lower than that of the Wizards, with only 85 points.
However, this is indeed in line with Wang Shuo's stereotype that this Spurs team is always tepid in the regular season.
According to the schedule, the Wizards have four games to play next in November.
The opponents are the Celtics, Cavaliers, 76ers and Heat.
If he can eat these four games in one go, Wang Shuo will lead the team to tie the NBA opening winning streak held by the Celtics and Houston XX at this time.
At the same time, this is also the first time in 53 years that Washington has a team that can play a 15-game winning streak in the opening stage of the NBA.
You know, the last Washington team that could play a 15-game winning streak in the opening stage of the NBA was called the Washington Congress.
Since the team was disbanded in 1953, its history has not been inherited.
Wang Shuo knows that the NBA will never remember the second.
So he's eager to lead this Wizards team and play the first and truly valuable historical record of his coaching career!
