At the beginning of the new year, Boss Joe received a New Year's gift from the Alliance:

NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Month for December.

Also receiving the gift was Gasol, the handsome Wizard "second in charge" who won the NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for the first time in December after November.

Compared to November, Boss Joe's single-month scoring average in December has declined, dropping to 23.5 points per game.

However, his average assists per game in a single month rose to 10.8.

So much so that his old rival Stockton recently said in an interview that it was time for him to ask Michael Jordan for advice on how to pass the ball to his teammates on the court.

In addition, in the latest All-Star voting results just announced by the league, Jordan and Gasol also led the Eastern Strikers and Eastern Centers with 750,000 and 300,000 votes respectively.

Facts have proved that compared to the so-called feelings, competitive sports, strength and honor are king.

Because if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, although in the original 01/02 season, Boss Qiao could also rely on Qiao Mi to pitch him into the All-Star starter, but next season, Boss Qiao will have to rely on his younger brother Carter to give him the All-Star starting position.

In this life, Jordan's personal data is beautiful, and the team's record is also outstanding, so naturally there will be fans who are willing to pay for "feelings".

As for Gasol, it is stained with the light of the current Eastern center who has no balloon stars.

Mutombo, who was originally going to be the starting center of this Eastern All-Star All-Star, has been beaten by Gasol twice in the regular season, and there are also Spanish fans who voted for Gasol desperately, so it is not surprising that Gasol leads the latest All-Star Eastern Center voting list.

O'Neal, who is currently three times ahead of Divac in the Western Conference All-Star center vote, knows what kind of nightmare awaits him at this moment?

On January 2, the Wizards, who had spent the New Year's Day holiday, successfully completed their revenge on the Mavericks at home.

After nearly three weeks away from the competition, Hamilton returned in a mask and put in an exciting performance as soon as he returned.

After more than half a year of hard work, Hamilton's unique "one-two-stage switching shot" has achieved a small success.

In this game, Hamilton, who only wanted to find a lawyer to accuse a masked man of squeezing her husband dry, shot 10 of 19 from the field, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and scored a total of 27 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist for the Wizards including free throws.

On the court, Hamilton's return can be said to have greatly enhanced the Wizards' ability to pull on the outside.

On the other hand, this game was taken care of by Boss Joe, Artay, and Jackson, and Nowitzki did not play very well.

After all, before the completion of the full outfit upgrade, Nowitzki was not the Germanic chariot whose future life was unsatisfactory and even the emperor's face dared to fight.

Perhaps inspired by the voting list from the All-Star Eastern Conference center, Gasol, who has always been used as a background board by others when facing Nowitzki, unexpectedly blocked the "Prussian anti-aircraft gun" on the court, which attracted bursts of exclamations from the Wizards fans at the time.

On the sidelines, seeing this scene, Wang Shuo hated that he didn't choose one or two spring people when he fooled Jordan to build a lineup framework for him.

Otherwise, in the upcoming Philadelphia All-Star Game, he must use the creativity in his mind to let basketball lovers in this time and space see what a slam dunk is!

Eh, wait!

Spring Man?

On the Wizards' bench, looking back at Gerald Wallace, who was handing out water glasses to his teammates, Wang Shuo suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Demi-human, demigod" huh?

"The Oakland Slam Dunk Contest will be a swan song forever", right?

On the evening of January 2, after leading the team to defeat the Mavericks 108-97, Wang Zhizhi, who had just failed to play in this game, had a supper on the front foot, and on the back foot, Wang Shuo pulled Boss Qiao, who was about to go to the casino to find the young lady to be happy together. (Note (1))

"What do you say? What international jokes are you making? You want me to sign Gerrard to AJ? Looking at Wang Shuo, Jordan, who was already hungry and thirsty all over his body, always felt that Wang Shuo had been getting more and more excessively recently.

No!

Do you know how many chicks are waiting for buddies tonight?

Do you know how many fat sheep are waiting for buddies to slaughter tonight?

How dare you delay such a precious time for your buddy, and the purpose is just to get your buddy to sign a rookie who can't even play with the Wizards at the moment?

At this moment, in Jordan's eyes, even if Wang Shuo asked him to sign Hamilton to AJ, he could endure it.

Can you believe it, he actually let himself sign that Gerald Wallace?

"Trust me, Michael, this is your best and last chance, because after the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Gerrard will be famous in the United States." Seeing that his mind had drifted to Jordan who would play "Ice and Fire" or "Poisonous Dragon Diamond" later, Wang Shuo said righteously.

Jordan: "......"

!

How dare you threaten me?

All right!

Who made you buddy's favorite right now?

After calming down, Jordan decided to give Wang Shuo a chance to convince himself, but not today.

Because today, the great Michael Jordan will fight his blood on the sheets and the casino!

……

The next day, the Wizards Training Gym.

When Jordan, who looked tired and seemed to have been hollowed out, appeared in the training hall, Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh again about the strongest pressing defense in the NBA, and sure enough, he still had to watch off the court.

Because of my good luck last night, I benefited a lot from exchanging offensive and defensive experiences with my sisters......

Therefore, in the training hall, when Jordan saw Wallace dunk the basketball on the basket again and again very clumsily according to Wang Shuo's request, this "basketball god" who has always had a good eye not only did not feel that Wang Shuo was delaying his time, but on the contrary, he also keenly discovered the terrible business opportunities contained in the treasure boy of Gerard Wallace!

"How much time do you think it will take him to practice these movements you just told him?" stepped forward and took the initiative to put his arm around Wang Shuo's shoulder, and handed Wang Shuo a cigar by the way, Jordan said.

"It's definitely okay before the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest starts, and then I'll decide what the difficulty will be on the day of the game based on how well he's training." Wang Shuo said with a smile.

Jordan nodded, and then suddenly became melancholy.

"All these dunk moves, are you thinking?" Jordan asked.

Wang Shuo said without blushing and heartbeat: "Of course, I usually like to watch NBA stars dunk the most, so naturally I will also think about some dunk actions in my mind." ”

Hearing this, Jordan was depressed.

Because if he had met Wang Shuo earlier, what "human movie essence" would have been worthy of being his opponent in the Jordan Slam Dunk Contest?

To be reasonable, even if he is three years younger, as long as he has these ghost ideas, even if the opponent is Carter, he Jordan will dare to fight again.

But now......

On Jan. 4, before the Wizards-Bulls game began, the traditionally hands-on owner Joe quickly instructed AJ-related staff to reach a five-year, $9 million endorsement deal with Gerald Wallace.

Within the Wizards, Gerald Wallace still felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe he had become AJ's face until the moment the deal was reached.

Moreover, it is still a "sky-high price" of 9 million US dollars in 5 years!

In the locker room, looking at Wallace, who was eager to go down the mountain of fire for himself and Jordan at this moment, Wang Shuo suddenly felt that there were still many honest people in this world.

It is true that for Wallace, who has not seen the world at the moment, 9 million in 5 years is definitely a sky-high price.

But the lad ......

Do you know how much you're going to be worth when you're done with the slam dunk contest?

Look at Michael Jordan's evil capitalist face at the moment!

However, I don't know if it was affected by "even Wallace can sign AJ", on the evening of the 4th, after leading the team to defeat the Bulls, Wang Shuo, who was already prepared for the team to lose some games in the Devil's schedule in January, waited for the Wizards' first loss in January until January 18.

On the evening of the 18th, at Utah Plateau, Jordan, who had been winning all January, continued his sluggish touch on the court.

Compared with November and December last year, Boss Joe's shooting rate in a single month after entering January was only 40.8%.

In fact, if it weren't for the recent game, the young people in the Wizards' roster would have been like chicken blood, one after another, and the Wizards would never have waited until Utah to hand over their January 1 blood.

In this game, the old coach Sloan taught Wang Shuo a hard lesson.

Taking advantage of the terrifying defensive coverage of "Aka 47" Kirilenko, Sloan successfully dismantled Wang Shuo's triangular attack.

And coming back, the blocking of Malone and Stockton also made Arenas and Gasol suffer enough.

In the NBA, even though Jerry Sloan has never been involved in a championship, the veteran coach definitely deserves respect.

In the end, the score of this game was 90-98, and in the whole game, Boss Joe made only 5 of 18 shots, and got 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists.

After the game, in an interview, Wang Shuo took the initiative to take the blame for the team's loss on himself, and did not say a word about Boss Qiao's recent lace news outside the field.

On the 19th, the Wizards, who had just handed over 1 blood in Utah, were upset in Denver again.

However, compared to the loss to the Jazz, the Wizards' loss in this game is really a non-war crime.

Because of the two highland home games of Utah and Denver......

It's back-to-back!

Previously, how grateful Wang Shuo was to Jordan's good brother Stern for arranging the schedule for the Wizards, at this moment, how much he wanted to draw a circle in his heart to curse Stern, a little Jewish old man.

Affected by two highland battles,

On the 22nd, the Wizards, who returned to their home court, finally let the 76ers led by Larry Brown cool off once.

That night, at the MCI Center, the 76ers won 81-77 on the road with a united defense and Iverson's extreme personal heroism of shooting 37 balls in the game, and successfully handed the Wizards a three-game losing streak.

In an interview after the game, Larry Brown called the bout "a great win."

But in Wang Shuo's opinion......

This game is purely an act of peach picking.

Because although Iverson took a total of 37 shots in this game......

But in reality, he only hit 15 of them.

That said, on this night, the Wizards' defense didn't drop the chain.

Of course, no matter how tired the Wizards players who have just come down from Utah and Denver Plateau, in Wang Shuo's opinion, Boss Qiao, who has been playing more happily than anyone else recently, needs to be retracted.

However......

On this day, before Wang Shuo took the initiative to talk to Boss Qiao, Boss Qiao found Wang Shuo first.

"Don't worry, this month, I just want to give myself a vacation.

I have a sense of what we want to do this season. ”

For Jordan, who has always paid attention to the combination of work and rest, how could he not know that the main reason for the Wizards' three-game losing streak was him?

Seeing this, Wang Shuo, who found that he was completely overwhelmed, felt that he should really learn from Jordan in this regard.

Because in the long and exhausting NBA season......

No one's nerves can be tense all the time.
