I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 136 You should be honored to lose to me! (first update)
The last time the Bucks arrived in Washington, they played against Jordan's Wizards.

But now, the Wizards have undergone some changes.

Since Jordan has just come back not long ago, coupled with his age, his personal strength is naturally not as good as at his peak.

Although Jordan's personal scoring ability is still very strong, due to the lack of enough helpers and the decline in his own ability, the Wizards struggled in the previous regular season.

The most important thing is that Jordan was injured and absent for a period of time during the period.

However, Jordan's substitute, Hamilton, played the personal data of the team's leader during this period. In several games, it was his personal ability that led the team to victory.

For the domineering and aloof Jordan, the Wizards boss had some opinions.

There are also some people in the Wizards management who have great opinions on Jordan, so gradually, if the Wizards are no longer under Jordan's control.

Even in the official game, Jordan couldn't replace Hamilton as the Wizards' starting shooting guard.

"Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs?" After He Li learned the truth, he was half surprised and half emotional.

Since the end of the All-Star Game, He Li has not paid attention to Jordan and the Wizards for a long time.

Unexpectedly, one day Jordan will be pushed on the bench by other players and become someone else's substitute.

It's hard to imagine, yet real. The NBA is like this. The team often only talks about business, only about value, and has no humanity.

He Li had no impression of Jordan as a substitute before, but he saw Iverson as a substitute for Stuckey in the Pistons, and Anthony's hero ended, so he had to join Mosaic as a substitute with a basic salary.

"If I will have such a day, then I will definitely leave early, right?"

Although this is only He Li's first season, when he thinks of this, He Li will inevitably feel a little sad.

For the stars who have played well in the NBA, perhaps playing healthy basketball for 20 seasons is not their final destination.

It may be a better choice to retire a few years in advance after earning enough money and harvesting honors so as not to lose security at the end of the year.

Of course, for He Li right now, it is still a bit far away. Rough calculations, there are still about 20 years, right?

High school students enter the NBA in the draft, and the length of their careers has an advantage.

Closer to home, although there is no Jordan in the Wizards' starting lineup, the Wizards' starting lineup is not too weak.

Hamilton, who is currently leading the team, is undoubtedly a rising star.

In addition, the Wizards also have All-Star white center Kristen Laettner.

Kristen Laettner participated in the same draft as O'Neal and Mourning. The first two were the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick respectively, and he was the No. [-] pick that year.

But the most legendary thing about Kristen Laettner is that he is the only college student in the Dream Team. This resume alone is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

Although the current Kristen Laettner can no longer play much role in the game due to various problems such as injuries and age.

However, Kristen Laettner's game experience is indeed rich.

He Li jumped the ball with Kristen Laettner and lost the jump.

The Wizards handed over the first attack to Hamilton, and Ray Allen immediately entangled him when he saw this.

Hamilton is close to Ray Allen in playing style, but his ability to hold the ball is not as good as Ray Allen.

I didn't meet a player like Ray Allen before. He could get shots through pick-and-rolls, passes, and catch-and-shoots, but now he can't.

Hamilton was almost blocked by Ray Allen and could only pass the ball to Chris Whitney.

Chris Whitney is a point guard played in the second round. He has no body and average skills, but today he seems to feel good. Facing Alstom's defense, he even scored a mid-range shot.

"Leave it to me!" Before attacking in the next round, He Li communicated with Alston.

After listening to He Li's instructions, Alston really diligently acted as a dribbling tool, and passed the ball to He Li who was within the three-point line just after halftime.

After receiving the ball, He Li directly hit Jahidi White with a back hit. He Li played a second-round pick whose physical fitness was not as good as his own, so naturally there was no pressure.

However, after He Li hit the space, he was not in a hurry to score a jumper.

After seeing Kristen Laettner double-team and take off to make up for the defense, He Li chose to feint a shot, make a false shot, and break into the basket for a dunk.

"He Li, He Li, He Li!"

After seeing He Li scoring 2 points for the Bucks in an extremely violent way, the Wizards Chinese fans at the scene immediately cheered enthusiastically, regardless of the home team's stance.

However, some white and black Wizards fans at the scene were not to be outdone, and booed everywhere, trying to drown out He Li's support.

In addition, some Wizards fans stood up from their seats and then cheered for the Wizards players on the field.

They hope that the Wizards can win the Bucks with an incomplete lineup in this game and win the strongest team in the Eastern Conference.

Soon the Wizards launched a second attack, and the ball was passed to Hamilton's hands in the first place.

However, before Ray Allen could defend him, Hamilton passed the ball again.

Courtney Alexander catches the ball from beyond the three-point line, and then immediately wants to join the ball and make a shooting motion.

The Bucks have always defended against three-pointers relatively strictly. Tim Thomas immediately jumped up to defend when he saw this without thinking.

Tim Thomas was fired by Beverly, and Courtney Alexander dribbled the ball and took a step sideways, turning to an open shot.

Ray Allen had no choice but to quickly go over to defend, but was shot in the face by Courtney Alexander.

Being shot at by a little-known player like Courtney Alexander is hard for anyone.

Moreover, a player like Courtney Alexander, who usually does not shoot high three-pointers, threw the ball in for the first time in this game.

It's okay to say that Courtney Alexander only hit this three-pointer in this game.

But this three-pointer was not an accident.

When more than 5 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was already 9 to 17, and the Bucks trailed the Wizards by a full 8 points.

The Bucks played back-to-back in this game, and the other players were not as physically strong. It is normal that the hand feel is not good.

The Bucks scored low and couldn't play at the beginning. He Li can understand it very well.

After all, after playing so many games, this happens from time to time.

Whenever this situation occurs, He Li usually helps his teammates find the touch, and finds that his teammates are really unreliable, so he comes out to take over the game and fire infinitely.

However, he had beaten his teammates before, but his teammates were not good, and he had no complaints about He Li, instead he hugged his thighs and hugged him tighter.

Therefore, He Li is not in a hurry to make crazy shots in the first quarter.

But now, it seems that it is impossible to stay true.

The most critical point for the Wizards, Hamilton was locked by Ray Allen, and the two inside players, Kristen Laettner and Jahidi White, were also restricted by He Li.

But Courtney Alexander and Chris Whitney, the two outside shooters, feel inexplicably good. Whether it's a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, they basically shoot whatever they want.

But the defensive attitudes of Alston and Tim Thomas are obviously not bad, which makes George Karl look very anxious off the court.

Don't you call timeout?The score was almost stretched to double digits, and a timeout was called, so He Li and Ray Allendo could only chase points.

Speaking of it, it's quite speechless.

In the end, George Karl called a timeout first.

"He Li, you have to be tough and lead the team to score, understand?"

"Ray, run a lot, don't be restricted by the Wizards' No. 32! Are you still inferior to a rookie?"

Hamilton is indeed still a rookie, just a third-year rookie.

Ray Allen was said a few words by George Karl, but he didn't refute much.

On the contrary, Alstom and Tim Thomas, who were not criticized, were a little uncomfortable.

Alston is slightly better, anyway, he didn't have the ball before, so as long as he continues to help He Li with the ball, it will always make a contribution.

Tim Thomas, taking advantage of the absence of the big dog, can have more ball possessions, but now he is gone, so he can only work hard on the defensive end as much as possible.

However, the recent games were really tiring.

Players have no possession of the ball, no way to score, and have to run tactics and defend, so it is inevitable that they will be a little slack.

Next, relying on He Li and Ray Allen to alternate singles, although the Bucks were able to score, the efficiency was not as high as expected.

The Wizards relied on some mediocre players to blow up the Bucks' starting lineup.

Soon, Jordan walked briskly and brought Kwame Brown to the court.

"Go down and rest!" Jordan said to He Li.

"What? I didn't hear clearly!"

He Li actually didn't understand what Jordan meant by saying this.

"If I remember correctly, you guys just finished playing yesterday, right?
Obviously, your teammates are not in good shape. At this time, you don't need to play the full four quarters.

Well, let me make it a little more clear.

As you can see, I'm playing.

Do you think you have any hope of winning even if you play hard? "

He Li finally understood what Jordan said, so he just came here and pretended to be aggressive.

Seeing this, He Li was a little funny. Why did he think that Jordan was pretending to be a tiger?

This does not seem to be an illusion.

That would be even funnier.

But He Li didn't laugh, and turned to Jordan seriously.

"Don't think saying 'go down and rest' will make me throw in the towel.

In the end, the game still depends on the score to win or lose.

If you don't fight until the last moment, how do you know that you are not the one who loses? "

After He Li finished speaking, he turned and left. Jordan looked at He Li's back, but smiled instead.

"You should feel honored to lose to me! But if you are so dishonest, let's make you lose more willingly!"

Jordan is not pretending, but does have such ability.

After Jordan came on the field, although Ray Allen was the main defense against Jordan, Ray Allen could not defend Jordan in the past.

The Bucks often defend Jordan by double-teaming. Otherwise, what is Jordan's law?
Today is different from the past. Now most of the Bucks players are in a state of exhaustion, and they are also double-teaming Jordan. Today's effect is very average.

Even though Jordan is often double-teamed by two or three people, Jordan's shooting space is very comfortable.

"This level of waste, didn't you really lose to me on purpose?"

After Jordan threw a picture-perfect fadeaway, he also spat trash talk domineeringly to pretend to be aggressive.

The Bucks' outside players really couldn't guard Jordan, even if Ray Allen saw Jordan, he couldn't fight back.

On the one hand, it is a matter of upbringing, on the other hand, if you can't guard it, you can't guard it. Ray Allen can't speak with facts and games.

"Have you finished your homework? Go back to your studies, you trash, I tell you clearly, you are not suitable for the NBA!"

Just after Jordan finished spraying people, He Li quickly caught the ball and shot, and scored a mid-range shot over Kwame Brown's head.

Kwame Brown was sprayed a few words by He Li, and his glass heart was broken, and he burst into tears: "Aren't we friends? Why are you doing this to me!"

"Kwame, it's a game now, not just playing house? Don't you still hope for my kindness to you?" He Li said bluntly.

Kwame Brown couldn't look directly at He Li's fighting eyes, so he could only glance to the other side.

Jordan was very upset when he saw this: "Kwame Brown, why do you think like a bitch? Can you save me some time, pick up the ball, use your greatest strength, and beat He Li, can you do it?"

Kwame Brown sobbed, "I... can't do it."

When He Li heard it, he was also taken aback for a moment, and then he seemed a little embarrassed to bully Kwame Brown again.

It is normal to beat opponents in the game. Jordan also used his own influence to make the players on the Bucks play worse and make it easier for the Wizards to win.

It is understandable that He Li spat trash on Kwame Brown and Kristen Laettner, hurting their confidence and affecting their performance.

But Kwame Brown seems to be a bit miserable, and it seems a little unkind to bully him.

"Enough is enough for me! You'd better go down for me!"

Fortunately, Jordan expressed that he could not stand Kwame Brown's weakness, and asked Kwame Brown to go back to the bench before the first quarter was finished.

For a while, the other Wizards players were also frightened into silence.
