Chapter 339

Michael Jordan was very angry. Even Doug Collins, who had always had a good temper, became much more violent. They had to worry about the formation of troops in the later game.

At the beginning of this season, the Wizards cannot be said to be the Buddha blocking and the God blocking and the God blocking and killing the God, but it can definitely be said to be a super strong team. They once had the upper hand in the face-to-face confrontation with teams such as the Western Conference Kings, Spurs, Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Eastern Conference Pacers, Nets, Pistons, 76ers, etc., but as the game progressed, Christian Leitner was injured first, which made the team's originally perfect inside combination appear in a gap. Carlos Boozer and Lu in the rookie season

Although Is Scola showed great potential, it is undeniable that one of them moved slowly, the other was thin, and the height was not very high, which often caused them to have various problems on the defensive end. Michael Jordan had to sign 42-year-old Dennis Rodman to improve the team's defense. Dennis Rodman's outstanding performance once conquered Michael Jordan and conquered Wizards fans, which made the Wizards start a winning streak again.

But now everything has become a flower in the mirror again, Moon in the Water, Dennis Rodman's uncool foul has not only disappeared from the Wizards' remaining away rosters in all the regular season games, but also affected in the playoffs. Only when the Wizards entered the finals can Mr. Dennis Rodman appear on the away roster of equipment.

The Wizards not only had problems in the interior, but the Wizards' point guard problem was even greater. Chauncey Billups' wrist injury was originally said to have to rest for a month, but now it's been one and a half months. The doctor still has not given him permission to play. Every time Michael Jordan asks, he always comes to a conclusion - he still needs cultivation. Teams without the main point guard will generally decline by a large part. Fortunately, the Wizards have a new era of living Lei Feng - Michael Jordan and Chris Whitney, who has been with the Wizards for a long time. The two bravely took on the responsibility of organizing offenses in the Wizards. In the complementary between the two, the Wizards' point guard did not lose too many points in this link, but dear Mr. Chris Whitney was injured in the game against the Supersonics, and it was so serious that the season was reimbursed.

Doug Collins and Michael Jordan were always embarrassed. They didn't know what kind of lineup to arrange in the following game. They were constantly negotiating what tactics should be used, what kind of lineup should be used, and even who should trade who in which team. But before they negotiated the results, the game still needed to continue one game after another, but the result of the game was very unsatisfactory.

In the game against the Denver Nuggets on March 26, Nuggets' player Tim Hardaway made great progress after returning. After Michael Jordan left the court, facing Taylon Lu, who has completely become a soy sauce party this year, scored 11 points and 7 assists in 15 minutes, leading a group of role players of the Nuggets to play one after another, and finally achieved an incredible victory with the performance of a substitute player Denver Nuggets defeated the Wizards at home, and this is just the 17th game of the Nuggets this season.

On March 27, the Wizards were visiting Phoenix, "Lone Wolf" Stephen Marbury and "The Most Expensive Penny in the United States" Anthony Hardaway made the Wizards' back line directly turn into a sieve. The old Michael Jordan faced the successive impact of the two masters and left leg cramped in the third quarter. The substitute point guards, whether Larry Hughes or Tyrone, became the back of the Suns' Gemini defender.

On March 29, in the last game of the Wizards this season, Michael Jordan did not play. As a result, no one in the Wizards could defend the guy who claimed to be the answer. Allen Iverson used his speed to mess up the Wizards' back line, and scored 51 points in the whole game. Amid the shouts of the whole game, he used 21 points to knock the Wizards down directly.

In the first three away games in a row, the Wizards lost all the time. The Wizards, which was originally ranked second in the Eastern Conference, were abnormally accused of being the Detroit Pistons after three games and ranked third in the record. If it weren't for the last away game on April Fool's Day on April Fools' Day, lost Alonzo? Mourning's Miami Heat, the Wizards would have been surpassed by the Indians and their record fell to fourth in the Eastern Conference.

In these four games, my performance was still very stable. Although there was no point guard passing the ball for me, I was able to score 26.2 points, 14.3 rebounds, 34.3 assists, and 3.21 blocks in each game. Whether it was with rookies Carlos Boozer, Louis Scola, or with last year's old friends Brandon Heywood, Itan Thomas, they all supported the inside for the Wizards, and did not get any benefits. But the final look at your data, but whether you finally won the victory. At the post-match press conference of each game, I felt a burst of pain in my heart.

The doubts from the outside world did not become more unexpected. Countless experts and scholars began to question whether the Wizards could hold on in the next game, and whether the Wizards could pass the first round of the playoffs. David Brian, who had not published a column in the newspaper for a long time, began to take advantage of the situation and began to praise the black and inexplicably praise the black.

"Dingling..."

I just rushed back to Washington from the away game. Ivanka Trump did not come back. At night, I took a shower and climbed onto the bed and started sleepwalking in Zhou Gong. However, Mr. Zhou Gong did not allow me to communicate with him too early. He woke me up who had just fallen asleep with the phone ringtone.

In a daze, I reached into the phone on the bedside table, touched and pressed the answer button, greeted the other party in a lazy voice: "Who?"

"I'm Michael, Michael Jordan!" A very familiar voice came from the phone:

"Did you go to bed so early?" Michael Jordan's voice was filled with surprise.

"Idiot! Michael! Ivanka hasn't come back, and I don't like watching those messy soap operas, so I went to bed earlier!" I yawned, so I woke myself up a little, and asked slowly, "Is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

"I'm! That's it! We need a point guard now, we need to trade a competitive point guard to prepare for our playoffs. What do you think of Tim Hardaway?" Michael Jordan said straight to the point.

Tim Hardaway! As soon as I heard this name, my brain started to search for the deeds of this person's name. This 1966-born league's best point guards in the 1990s, the attack combination formed with Alonzo Mourning after transferring to the Miami Heat in 1996 made the entire league feel scared. Although he had never won the championship and had been blacklisted by the New York Knicks, it is undeniable that he was once a superstar. But he is now 36 years old. Although he could still average 9.6 points and 4.1 assists in 23 minutes of playing time in the game last season, he has been recovering from injuries this season. The Nuggets' match against the Wizards on March 26 was only his third game of the season.

"Tim has rich playoff experience and he can help us go further in the playoffs. I asked him and he is willing to come to a younger team like us to help us. I think we can trade him with Tyrone Ru..." Michael Jordan continued to talk about his plans.

I frowned. In the eyes of some pseudo-fans, it would be very cost-effective to replace a former superstar, Tim Hardaway with an unknown Tyrone Lu. Although this superstar is 36 years old, I cannot agree. Tyrone Lu has not received much opportunity to play this year. Only after Chris Whitney was injured did he have a certain amount of playing time. Tyrone Lu, who has been out of the game for a long time, will naturally not perform well, but I believe that as the game continues to deepen, Tyrone?

Lu will definitely gradually regain his form. Although he is a little weak as a starter, he is still more than enough to be a substitute. If I remember well, Tayron and Lu will have been active in the league in the next six or seven years. Although he has not been a stable main player of a certain team, it is undeniable that he has always been a powerful supplement to the team. I don’t want to give up Tayron and Lu, a qualified substitute, at least I hope he will continue to stay with the Wizards before finding a more suitable substitute.

"But Tim is 36 years old, he is not our future, and Tyron is only 25 years old this year. Although Tyron is a little thin and breaking through and attacking is better than passing, he is faster, and his presence will enrich our tactical style..." I refuted Michael Jordan's decision, using age and speed to try to convince Michael Jordan's plan.

"Oh!" Michael Jordan sighed softly on the other end of the phone, and continued: "But we really lack a point guard. Tyrone always makes mistakes at critical moments. We need experienced veterans like Tim Hardaway to help us in the future. Our goal is to the Eastern Conference Finals..."

Michael Jordan's voice was so low, and he felt helpless, as if he had to make such a choice.

"How much is Tim Hardaway's salary?" I asked with a frown. I feel that Tim Hardaway's salary should be very high. After all, a superstar like him, even if he is old, he will have a veteran contract waiting for him. I want to kill Michael Jordan's idea through salary reasons.

"7.8 million US dollars!" said Michael Jordan.

"Ah?" I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that Tim Hardaway, who is already 36 years old, was so valuable. A few seconds later, I continued to persuade: "Tyrone's salary is only 2 million US dollars, which is obviously an inequality of salary. The league will not agree to such a deal!

"Tyrone's contract plus Christian's contract is exactly 7.5 million, and it's just right to trade Tim with the two of them..." Michael Jordan explained.

"What did you say? You said you want to trade Christian?" I was very suspicious that I heard it wrong. I asked Michael Jordan loudly, and I hoped to hear a different voice from him.

"Sorry! Kwame! I know you have a good relationship with Christian, but you have to consider the team. You should know what Christian's health is now. Even if he announces his retirement directly now, we can't expect him to bring any help to the team!" Michael Jordan said quietly from the other end of the phone.

"Michael, Christian is also your friend! And you invited him personally! You can't be so ruthless! It's too unfair to Christian like this!" I was anxious and I said loudly.

"But, Kwame, you have to know that this is NBA, this is an arena, this is not a nursing home, nor a charity. What we need is people who are helpful to the team, and we cannot let our feelings hinder the team's progress."

"But we promised Christian that we would win the championship together!"

"That's just a lie of kindness, a lie that mustered up the courage!"

"But..." I didn't know what to say, and after a few seconds of pause, I finally said:

"I still don't agree to trade Tim Hardaway with Tyrone and Christian!"

"Kaome! Think about it carefully! Don't be emotional. I will discuss Christian's place with him. After all, he is also my good friend. Alas! But this is NBA, this is just a business!" Michael Jordan sighed softly.
