Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 190 Oh, I’m just playing!

On October 10, the NBA league started the preseason of the new season.

There are not many games, all teams play about four or five games, which are purely for training, lineup adjustment, and tactical practice.

The Sonics' first game is against the Golden State Warriors in the same division.

In the summer draft, the Warriors took the talented player Chris Mullin with the seventh overall pick. He is a left-handed shooting player and this year's John Wooden Award winner. He participated with Jordan, Ewing and others. Won the gold medal at the 84 Los Angeles Olympics.

But just adding a college star player will not immediately improve the strength of the Warriors' lineup.

In the first half, the SuperSonics relied on their strong firepower to score an overwhelming 75:44, quickly confirming their 31-point lead.

The second half went directly into pure training mode.

To the surprise of the Warriors coaching staff, after changing sides in the second half, Su Wen turned out to be the ball controller of the opponent's offense, organizing his teammates' movements.

Then they saw that under Su Wen's organization, all members of the SuperSonics played in a decent manner, and they fought back and forth with them.

In the end, they still lost the game 96:125, a gap of 29 points.

As soon as Clyde Drexler came up, he wanted to find Su Wenqian.

Sam Bowie opened his mouth to say something, but seeing the angry look on his face, he immediately shut up.

"interesting!"

It was just a preseason match and it had no impact on their mentality. The two sides happily shook hands and made peace.

In the second game, the Sonics' opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers.

If Drexler was unconvinced because Su Wen and Danzi's rookie seasons were too dazzling, then Bowie himself should be the person most directly affected.

Starting from Qiansu Wen.

Last season, Su Wen and Jordan played so well. One was at the top when he debuted and directly led the team to win the championship. The other also averaged 33 points per game in the regular season.

This made him angry. He went back to the locker room and took out his anger on the locker. He punched him several times and broke the door.

The team's coach, John Bach, rubbed his chin and watched with interest, as if the game had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, he was the one who should be angry.

After venting his anger, Drexler responded angrily, then sat down to sulk.

He couldn't bear it anymore and decided to make his voice heard in the new season.

Even so, Su Wen was able to guard him to death just by relying on defense. He made 23 of 6 shots from the field and only scored 15 points in the game.

"Hey, Clyde, what are you doing?"

However, Su Wen did not receive any moves during the whole game and just guarded him. He did not exert much offensive power and just acted as a top arc dealer.

They are also opponents in the same division and contenders in the playoffs.

"nothing."

As the second shooting guard in his previous life, his spirit is as high as anyone else's.

Sam Bowie on the side was frightened by his outburst.

Because Bowie was not only in the same class as Su Wen, but he was also drafted higher than them, only lower than Olajuwon.

However, in terms of performance and value, let alone Su Wen and Jordan, even Olajuwon was completely blown away.

As a 216cm talented insider, he became famous and attracted much attention during the NCAA period.

But he concealed his injury and after entering the NBA as the second overall pick, he disappeared from everyone.

上个赛季上场76场，以主力位置上场62场，场均仅仅拿到10.0分8.6篮板2.8助攻2.7封盖而已。

This data, regardless of which team it is placed on and when it is placed, is just the data of a blue-collar player and does not reflect his value at all.

He was sought after by countless people during his college days.

Comparing Su Wen and Jordan, he is simply an ugly duckling.

Olajuwon, who averaged 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, was one step ahead of him and grew into the league's new All-Star insider.

After quietly looking at the depressed Drexler for a long time, Bowie sighed quietly as he thought of Su Wen, who was calm and composed throughout the game and already had the temperament of a superstar.

He was quite frustrated. In this game, Su Wen only made 14 of 10 shots, scored 25 points and 7 rebounds, but sent out 15 assists.

He has given out such a high number of assists in two consecutive games.

The third game is on the road, and the Sonics need to fly to the east to have a friendly match with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks, like the Trail Blazers, have a strong lineup, but they both lack a decisive superstar.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers at least have the potential of guard Drexler. The Bucks want nothing, but they rely on their passion and everyone's strength. They recorded 59 wins and 23 losses last season, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, and also scored. Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Just because there were no superstar players, they were completely bald by the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals and were swept out.

Sidney Moncrieffe is a strong defensive player who averages 20 points per game. He has won two consecutive DPOYs and has entered the best defensive team and best team many times.

But offensively, it just lacks explosive power.

In this game, the Sonics even tried a short lineup, taking McCormick off and replacing him with Karl Malone, letting him move to the fifth position.

This change of formation made it impossible for the Bucks to handle the situation. The breakthrough point targeted before the game was replaced.

Moreover, in this game, the opponent played fast, pushed the speed, and played run and gun.

The Bucks could not have imagined that the Sonics' impact was so powerful that the basket was directly smashed.

The SuperSonics frequently attacked the basket and launched a 16:2 shock wave, starting the first quarter with a 14-point lead.

In the second quarter, the SuperSonics changed their formation again, replaced McCormick, took down Karl Malone, and started playing well.

There is one thing they are playing, a crazy experimental lineup, which makes the Bucks very uncomfortable.

Although they had a 10:3 offensive climax in the third quarter, they were beaten into two consecutive counterattack climaxes by their opponents in the final quarter and completely lost the game.

In the end, the Sonics defeated the Bucks 118:95 with a 23-point advantage and won three consecutive preseason games.

The fourth game is the New York Knicks, playing away from home.

At the same time, it was also the first NBA game for Patrick Ewing, the rookie No. 1 pick.

After two years, he met Su Wen again. Ewing was very excited from the beginning and hit the basket whenever he got the chance.

Although McCormick is an old man in the league and a champion center, he has difficulty parrying against the talented gorilla, or he is outright beaten.

上半场，尤因就18投12中，轰下26分8篮板3封盖。

However, due to the large gap in overall strength between the two sides, they fell behind by 12 points at halftime and entered the second half.

In the second half, it was training time again, and the SuperSonics replaced Malone at the fifth position.

Lenny Wilkens wanted to test the strength of the rookies on both sides.

Malone did a good job. His strong physique and steel-muscle defense made Ewing very uncomfortable.

He wanted to pull the opponent to the outside to train the opponent, but Malone was not slow and also pushed to the outside.

Ewing just misfired, making just 10 of 3 shots in the second half and scoring 33 points.

Although Malone only started in the second half, he relied on the firepower of his teammates to make 15 of 11 shots, scoring 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The Sonics won another city and won four consecutive games in the preseason.

In Game 5, the SuperSonics returned home to face the Los Angeles Clippers.

There is not much to say about this game.

However, given that Walton came from this opponent, Wilkens gave Walton a lot of playing time, changed the lineup again, and honed positional warfare.

In the end, the Sonics relied on their strong lineup, sufficient firepower, and solid defense to defeat the Clippers with a huge advantage of 141:99 and 42 points.

Although Walton played 33 minutes, he didn't take many shots. He made 14 of 10 shots and scored 22 points and 11 rebounds. He was very angry in front of his old club.

The Sonics ended their preseason journey with five consecutive victories.

At this time, there is only one week left before the new regular season.

They have seven days to rest.
