Two days passed in a flash.

June 1, Washington, D.C.

Abbreviated as Washington, also known as Washington, D.C., is also the capital of the United States of America.

Unlike Seattle, which has a business and sports atmosphere, Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, has an unrivaled political atmosphere, with many celebrities and big names.

The MCI Center, where the Wizards' home arena is located, is currently the third largest arena in the league in addition to the Bulls League Center and the Staples Center arena, which is enough to accommodate 21,000 spectators.

Compared to the modern Staples Center and the ancient Bulls League, the MCI looks much more sedate from the outside, with several large stone pillars standing outside the arena making him look like a temple on Mount Olympus, full of solemnity and majesty, and quite in line with the strong political atmosphere of Washington, D.C.

Although it is a decades-old arena, the interior is often renovated, which makes MCI not look old.

At this time, it was 8:50 p.m., and luxury cars gathered outside the center of the stadium, and the drivers waiting to park formed a long line, while those powerful guests were already seated in the stadium.

As one of the city's current famous brands, Jordan still has considerable influence here, although many politicians are quite dissatisfied with this boiled egg after inviting him to play golf was rejected, but at least on the surface, it will not be revealed.

It's just a social place for them, at most they smile when they talk about the star who drives the fans crazy, and people on the same level make fun of the star who doesn't dare to go to the golf course, it must be because his skills are terrible and so on.

But these voices in the VIP box obviously can't affect the popularity of the venue at this time.

With 20,000 fans and thousands of staff and journalists, almost every corner of the stadium was filled.

And when the host introduced the upcoming Jordan, he didn't need to use too many words like others, just the opening sentence of '6 championships, 5 MVPs ......', which was enough to ignite all the passion in this stadium.

At the crazy scene, countless fans cheered feverishly as if they were on a pilgrimage, and frankly speaking, only those who have experienced it understand what kind of appeal and influence this is.

It's completely different from the kind of shock that seems to have the same 10,000 or 20,000 people cheering their own stars on other teams.

The rest of the players are at best supported at home and supported by the home fans, who are basically locals.

But Jordan is here, and what he gets is a kind of piety that the fans have added to their bones, and fans from all over the United States.

And Jordan's casual action, even if it was just a wave of his hand, the screams on the scene were enough to break through the roof!

The crazy scene made Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and even Lin Dong's eyes revealed a different color, as if he was shocked.

"That guy is like that, haha, special pretend!" Peyton said nonchalantly, he didn't worry about Lin Dong being affected at all, he had been a teammate for a season, and Peyton couldn't understand the psychological quality of this guy: "Hey! Brother, it's time to take out your away silencer and put it to good use! ”

Lin Dong laughed, looked in Jordan's direction, and happened to see Jordan also looking at him.

"Hey!" Jordan smiled at Lin Dong, revealing a hint of provocation, as a young man who had 'frightened' Jordan in the exhibition game in October last year, the old hooligan who had been hiding for a whole season did not plan to continue to hide.

Whether it is physical strength or emotion, it must be vented without reservation, and the edge must be revealed! He had to show the young man what a true God was!

Lin Dong also gave him a respectful smile in return.

At the same time, it is obvious that there is not only one Jordan who intends to interact with Lin Dong.

Yao Ming, who was standing next to Jordan at this time, smiled at Lin Dong and clenched his fists and nodded.

are both the two superstars of the Dragon Kingdom, but one is in the east and the other is in the west, and they haven't seen each other a few times in the past half a year.

"Come on bro!" Yao Ming smiled and said, "Looking forward to a good game." ”

"Same!"

The picture of the exchange between the two was not recorded by the camera, after all, the camera is now focused on Jordan, but it does not affect the jubilation of countless fans in the Dragon Country.

The world is so wonderful, who would have imagined that the first preseason game before the start of the season would be the same two sides competing for the championship at the end of the season?

- The supersonic speed is also rising, don't let the Wizards win too easily!

- I don't believe that no one in the Dragon Kingdom supports hypersound!

- Hahaha, support support, it doesn't matter who wins anyway, just play well!

- That's right, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it feels even more difficult for Lin Dong......

- Lin Dong is still young, he has a lot of chances to win the championship in the future, it doesn't matter if he gives Jordan a game, give the basketball god a decent!

The same buzz was made in the Dragon Kingdom Internet and the taverns that broadcast live matches.

Honk!

Lengthy introduction, excited scene, with the referee's whistle, the main forces of both sides stayed on the field.

Washington Wizards starters: Point guard No. 10 Tyronn Lue, scoring guard No. 23 Jordan, small forward No. 21 Ron Artest, power forward No. 42 Al Harrington, center No. 5 Yao Ming!

Seattle SuperSonics starters: No. 20 point guard Gary Payton, No. 9 point guard Iguodala, No. 23 small forward Lin Dong, No. 10 power forward Hanamichi Sakuragi, center No. 14 Pedrager Drobiak!

Collins, who was on the sidelines, was really stunned when he saw the supersonic starting lineup.

Frankly, Collins thought about various changes to the SuperSonics before the game, but it was nothing more than a five-man lineup, just a choice between Iguodala and Desmond.

If the plan for the opening supersonic is to be defensive and solid first, then Desmond, if it is biased to the outside attack, then Iguodala, but I really didn't expect such a hand.

Actually gave up the SuperSonics' previous usual five-small lineup, and instead regained the Sakuragi Hanamichi position at the power forward position, gave up Brent's third-organization point guard role, and re-enabled Pedragher to play the traditional center position, is the SuperSonics going to give up the run-and-shoot fast offense they are famous for?

What kind of play is this......

The blue-collar Pedrager does not have the ability to fight against Yao Ming at all, so Yao Ming must not be exploded into a hornet's nest at both offensive and defensive ends?

And if Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was originally the core of the interior defense, goes to the opposite Harrington, is he really not afraid of being pulled to the outside by Harrington?

"Al!" Collins was already giving tactical instructions to Harrington at the first time - pulling to the outside to play and pulling Sakuragi Hanamichi out of the defensive core of the interior line.

The latter nodded.

Both sides jump the ball.

Pedrager's 211 cm figure is not tall in the center, but it is not low either, but in the face of Yao Ming, who is 226 cm and weighs a full 135 kg, it seems to be one size smaller.

The absolute difference in strength made Yao Ming's jump ball seem easy, and the basketball paddled in the direction of Tyronn Lu, and in the next second, Tyronn, who caught the ball, threw the ball to Jordan without hesitation.

Gary Payton stepped up for the first time, but Jordan did not rush to attack, but stood with the ball just a little past the midfield, and then actually grabbed the ball with one hand, and the other hand signaled to the fans around the arena to cheer.

The first offense belonged to Jordan, and the basketball was in the hands of God, which had already made the scene cheer, and Jordan's action of constantly raising his arms and lifting the atmosphere at this time made the scene even more caught in a storm.

- Michael! Michael! Michael!

——Goat！ Goat！ Goat！

The scene suddenly resounded with a carnival of joy.

A sneer flashed across Peyton's face, and he licked the corners of his mouth, "Can you play well, Michael?" I kindly remind you, when your fans cheer, you can't pass my level, and then you will be embarrassed. ”

Jordan laughed: "Don't let that young man defend me, because you're afraid of being blown up by me, right?" As for you, your knees don't hurt anymore? Ah, I see! ”

"You know." Payton knew that this was Jordan's way of looking for excitement, he knew Michael too well, and once this guy started talking on the court, he was trying to find his form, trying to destroy the supersonic in one fell swoop with the best form!

"Hahaha!" Jordan smiled and said, "You're going to retire anyway, so it's okay if it's destroyed, right?" Or is it that Ling has already lost once in 96 anyway, and it doesn't matter if he loses again? Supersonic is cruel to you old fellow......"

"You retired and Lao Tzu hasn't retired yet, isn't it just a few championships, Lao Tzu will retire with 7 and then retire, envy ...... death"

Payton hadn't finished his sentence, but he suddenly saw a flash of essence in Jordan's eyes, and he dived down with his center of gravity and took a step to the right.

Super low-profile breakthrough!

Fack!

Peyton almost cursed.

He knew who Jordan was, and he knew the many methods of this old rascal, including his usual sound and attack.

But let's be honest, that's often the way Jordan chooses when he's in trouble.

But now, the game has just begun, and this old thing has actually started to use these tricks, which ...... This is for the championship to no longer talk about martial arts and unscrupulous means!

Although his attention was extremely concentrated and his reaction was not slow, since he was talking, his body was naturally a little worse in preparing for qi.

At this time, he suddenly suffocated the second half of the sentence back into his stomach, followed by the expansion of the muscles of his body, and followed in an instant.

The fully recovered knee made Payton's explosive step a bit unexpected for Jordan.

But the other party was holding his breath after all...... How many steps can you keep up?

Now is the time!

Jordan suddenly picked up speed again, pulling Payton's lateral speed to the extreme, followed by a sharp stop.

The half of Peyton's breath was about to reach its limit at this time, and seeing Jordan's sudden stop, he also wanted to stop suddenly, but the instantaneous explosion and the instantaneous emergency stop, the half of the breath he was holding finally couldn't hold on.

Call......

A large gasp of rapid breathing interrupted Peyton's outburst for a moment, and his body stopped, but he could no longer keep up with Jordan's jump in time.

Fake, this old fox, just came up and was yin!

Peyton wanted to curse.

Jordan jumped high, but a faint smile flashed on his face, this ball doesn't even need to be tilted back, it's too simple, open it first!

But in the next second, a figure that surprised him suddenly jumped up from behind Peyton, who was shaken away.

The speed of the bullet and the high height of the take-off jump were a bit unexpected for Jordan.

Lin Dong?

No, that guy is still at the top of the three-point arc on the left at this time, so this is ......

A dark green No. 10 jersey obscured Jordan's vision for a moment.

That Japanese redhead?

Jordan was stunned, shouldn't he have been taken to the bottom line by Harrington? Fark ...... What the hell!

- Sakuragi, you don't have the strength of Lin Dong to face any targeted play, so don't let others see through you easily, and don't let the wizards target you and crack you like a spur.

- It's not that you won't be allowed to play center, it's just that you have to give the Wizards an illusion first, you have to do something that surprises them first, anything will do, if Lin Dong has the team's absolute right to fire, then I'll give you absolute defensive rights, the entire first half, don't care about your fixed defensive object, you can appear anywhere on the court! Do whatever you feel will help the team!

- In the first half of G1, you are the absolute libero of the team!

McMillan's voice echoed in Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears, making him extremely excited at this time, this feeling of free play and unrestrained was the most suitable for him.

Just now when he saw the defensive actions of the teacher Payton, he felt as if he was a little reluctant, and he felt a little unstoppable, so he immediately blocked it as soon as possible, and what did he care about Harrington Harrington...... As a result, I really ran into an excellent supplemental defense!

"The Gorilla Story!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted excitedly: "Cover the hot pot!" ”
