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

Chapter 66 A huge leap!
Michael Jordan cut inside without the ball and went straight to the left baseline, which was open.

Then he turned and looked at his own point guard, Enis Wortley.

The opponent was currently in a pick-and-roll with center Caldwell Jones, passed down, and then threw it toward the basket and took the shot himself.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the basket and was rebounded by the opponent's center.

pass the ball!
Jordan glared at Wortley.

But after he made the move, he saw that he missed the shot, so he waved his hand in annoyance and left without even looking at him.

In other words, I never even looked at him from beginning to end.

Although Jordan was a little unhappy, he was helpless.

I'm just a new guy, they're the seniors on the team.

He comforted himself.

On the next possession, Jordan used great speed to get rid of Milwaukee Bucks guard Sidney Moncrief and appeared in the bottom corner, which was also open.

He then looked at Wortley, who was controlling the ball and trying to get past point guard Mike Dunleavy.

However, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and at first glance, he was still stuck on the same spot, and Wortley was successfully defended by the opponent.

By the time Jordan received his pass, he had already missed the best opportunity to rush in and was stuck by Moncrief.

MMP!

Jordan felt angry and aggrieved, but he could only pass the ball out again and find another chance.

Unfortunately, he ran the entire half of this round and was pestered by Moncrief. He could no longer get out of the way. Then the Bulls' offense was worn out by the Bucks. Ulrich faced Terry. Cummings' reluctant shot ended with a strike.

I'm just a newbie, they are all veterans in the team!

When Jordan returned to the backcourt, he comforted himself again.

But for several rounds in a row, he was always able to get out of the open space at the first time, but he always chose to take a shot himself or pass it to Ulrich or others when his own side was open, always inadvertently ignoring him and letting him run. All bits are blind.

"!!!"

Jordan is angry!

When he returned to the backcourt, he suppressed his anger and said to Wortley, "Ennis, look at me more, there are all open spaces here."

"I don't make it."

Before Wortley responded, he glanced in Ulrich's direction, then turned around and left.

But his guilty expression and the drift of his eyes were still caught by Jordan, and he suddenly became furious.

It turned out that it was not that the other party did not see his position, but that he deliberately pretended not to see it.

He was targeted!
He was targeted by the veteran in the team!
Damn!

Realizing this, he cursed secretly and glared at Ulrich before giving up.

He didn't understand why he had offended these two veterans to isolate himself tonight?

He himself obviously played very efficiently before, taking 8 shots, hitting 6 goals, causing a foul, getting an extra penalty, and scoring 13 points.

These are also opportunities that come through off-the-ball movement.

But I don’t know why I was isolated from behind, and it was difficult to get the ball again.

I endured it!
After Jordan returned to his defensive position, he felt extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

I'm a newbie, they're all veterans on the team
At this time, Su Wen, who was far away in Seattle, was sitting on the sofa in his apartment, watching TV comfortably.

What was shown on TV was the live broadcast of the Bulls game.

He also saw Jordan being isolated. He kept running around and looking for opportunities throughout the game. He was as dedicated and diligent as a little bee, but in the end he never got a pass.

Danzi!

This is not like your style!

If this were you in the previous life, you would definitely have gone up and blasted Wortley.

However, he later said that most of his impressions of Jordan started from the season when he won his first scoring title, and he said nothing more.

Because that season, the Bulls management almost purged everyone except Jordan and truly established him as the team's star.

In the Bulls at that time, Jordan was the only famous old man on the team.

Moreover, at that time, Jerry Krause had just been on stage for a year, and it was time to show off his talents and ambitions.

Now, obviously the Bulls are not Jordan's team.

No fun!

Suvin quickly changed the channel, switching to the channels of the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks.

At this time, the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks had come to an end. The former temporarily led 115:106 by 9 points, and the latter requested a timeout.

Just in time, the big screen showed the data of the players on both sides.

Su Wen took a closer look, big dream, oh no, at this time I can only call him small dream. Olajuwon had made 16 of 10 shots and scored 22 points and 9 rebounds. It was very efficient.

But he did not take the most shots. The one with the most shots was Ralph Sampson.

16次出手，仅仅命中7球，拿到了19分11篮板2封盖。

The most efficient person was not Xiao Meng, but their point guard John Lucas, who made 11 of 7 shots and scored 21 points and 6 assists.

Well. At this time, neither Xiaomeng nor Danzi is the boss of the team. If they want the right to take action, they have to look at the faces of their teammates.

Thinking about it, Su Wen felt lucky enough.

As soon as he entered the team, the management expressed his concern overtly and covertly. He was allowed to take 27 shots in his first game, which was already too many people ahead.

There is no suspense.

He looked at the score difference between the two sides and only 2 minutes of game time left, and continued to turn channels with great boredom.

He transferred to the Philadelphia 76ers game.

At this time, the fight was over, and both parties were packing up and preparing to leave.

The data panels of both sides were expanded at the same time.

Well, Mr. Buckley is still coming off the bench.

总共出场28分钟，6投2中，罚球4中3，拿到了7分7篮板4助攻2抢断。

It seems that this little chubby guy has listened to his advice in the morning, no longer resents his role as a substitute, and concentrates on being a support player.

In this game, Moses Malone was very inefficient, making only 19 of 5 shots, 13 of 9 free throws, and only scored 19 points.

But he grabbed an astonishing 20 rebounds, 6 of which were offensive rebounds, and almost scored 20+20.

If he shoots better, he'll do it.

The 76ers' best performer was veteran Dr. J. He took 21 shots, hit 13 goals, scored 31 points and 11 rebounds, including 6 rebounds.

It seems that their opponent is also a team with poor interior frame protection.

He took a serious look at the opponent and found out that it was the Atlanta Hawks. It became clear instantly.

In addition to Dominique Wilkins, is there anyone else for the Eagles during this period?
看看人类电影精华威尔金斯的数据，全场21投12中，罚球8中8，轰下了全场最高得分的32分7个篮板。

His rebounds are almost the highest on the team.
One can imagine how talented their insiders are.

Although Moses Malone played poorly, he still used his strong attack under the basket to destroy the Hawks' interior, leading the team to a narrow victory of 111:108 and winning the first two consecutive games of the season.

To Su Wen's surprise, when he switched to the New York Knicks game, he discovered that the Knicks were about to win again.

After three quarters, they actually led the Pistons 97:89.

And in the last quarter, he scored 40 points, allowing his opponent to score only 28 points.

Don't you want that gorilla Patrick Ewing?

If you keep playing like this, it will be difficult to get the No. [-] pick, right?
He looked at the Knicks' performance data. Their star player Bernard King only made 22 of 13 shots and 11 of 8 free throws. He only scored 34 points, which was not a high score.

However, the scary part is their performance on the bench.
Four of their substitutes scored in double figures, and two of them scored 20, which was terrifying!
It's no wonder that four of the Pistons scored 20 points, and the Smiling Assassin even scored 23 points and 16 assists but couldn't win.

Both sides did not defend the whole game, it just depends on which side is more efficient.

Obviously, the Knicks had the last laugh.

Because their substitute lineup is 6, 4, 4, 4, which is very different from the Knicks' substitute lineup.

Last season's overall runner-up, the Los Angeles Lakers, lost.

They fought fiercely for 48 minutes and were outplayed by their opponents for 36 minutes. In the last quarter, they frantically chased points, but at the critical moment their opponents made a buzzer-beating shot and fell short.

In the end, the score was 112:113, ushering in a bad start.

魔术师约翰逊表现已经相当可以了，全场18投11中，罚球9中9，打出了极其高效率的32分8助攻5次抢断。

The problem occurs on the inside.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made 14 of 6 shots in this game. He looked like a badly worn robot and only scored 15 points and 7 rebounds.

Look at their opponent, the San Antonio Spurs.

Iceman George Gervin has been a scoring maniac since he moved from the ABA to the NBA. Before Jordan, he won 4 scoring titles and averaged 32+ points per game in two seasons.

At 32 years old this year, he is still in his prime. He made 21 of 14 shots in this game and scored 32 points.

What's even more frightening is that the Spurs' inside man, Artis Gilmore, made 9 of 6 shots from the field. He didn't take many shots, but he grabbed 21 rebounds, scoring 19 points and 21 rebounds, and 76. People like Moses Malone have turned into rebounding idiots.In the apartment, Su Wen, who had nothing to do, watched all the results of that night's game to pass the time.

At this time, there was no Internet, no mobile phones or smartphones, no computer games, and nothing to kill time except watching bloody dramas on TV.

He had become accustomed to this life after his rebirth in Yikunnian, but he still felt boring and uninterested.

He looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour before midnight. He looked at the night scene outside the window and soon felt sleepy.

Then he yawned and climbed into bed to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he washed up, finished breakfast as soon as possible, packed his things, carried a satchel, and headed to the training hall.

Tonight's opponent is the Phoenix Suns, last season's Western Conference Finals team, and they don't dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Hi Sue!"

Entering the venue, Tom Chambers, who was beginning to practice middle distance, greeted him happily.

Last night's big victory gave him a good spirit today.

"Hi, Tom!"

Su Wen responded with a smile.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Chambers stopped practicing and asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Su Wen thought for a while and said, "It's just a bit boring."

"Haha." Chambers laughed, "That's what professional players are like, just get used to it, Su!"

"Okay." Su Wen responded with a smile: "I will try to get used to it."

After saying that, he walked into the locker room.

El Wood was inside, tying his shoes and getting ready to go out.

When he saw Su Wen coming in, he snorted coldly, then pretended to continue what he was doing as if nothing had happened.

Su Wen didn't bother to pick him up, so he opened his closet, took out the training set from his bag, and put the bag inside.

When he was about to change into his suit, El Wood, who was about to leave, hesitated, stopped and stood at the door.

This pause lasted probably several seconds.

He seemed to be struggling with something in his heart, and after a long while he said to Su Wen, "Uh Su!"

This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Su Wen.

Su Wen raised his head and looked at him in confusion, "What?"

"Ugh, come on tonight!"

After he hesitated to say this, he ran away the next second as if he was about to be chased by a dog.

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Su Wen smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, the other party suddenly took the initiative to show his kindness, and he could probably understand his mental state.

I didn't know why before, and I was always at odds with myself.

Obviously he was just a newcomer, but he was treated like this when he just arrived in Seattle. At that time, Su Wen thought that this guy was very petty and childish.

At the same time, he is also very arrogant!

But after last night's game, this guy seemed to realize something, so he took the initiative to release this reconciliation signal.

Is this because you see the gap between yourself and me?
You know you won't win if you keep competing, so you take the initiative to send this signal. Do you want to settle the feud with me?
Su Wen thought.

"Tom, what are you doing? Where's your cover?"

In the morning, because there was a game in the evening, Lanny Wilkens only arranged targeted drills.

Although this drill does not require a lot of exercise, it still strictly requires the players to move tactically.

Especially because the screen was not tight and Chambers wanted to dunk quickly, he was severely punished by him.

"Uh, sorry!"

While showing an apologetic smile to the coach, Chambers turned to Su Wen and continued to apologize: "Oh my, Su, I should have stood a little longer."

"It's ok."

Su Wen smiled and patted his shoulder, and whispered: "Actually, I can get rid of this guy without a strict pick-and-roll."

As he said this, he also winked at El Wood, who was guarding him, which made Chambers want to laugh but was embarrassed to do so.

The latter is his good friend!
He, a professional, would not laugh at things that were generally not very funny.

El Wood, who had his back to them, turned around suddenly and glared at Su Wen fiercely, "You are talking bad about me behind my back, don't think I don't know."

"Ha ha!"

Su Wen and Chambers burst out laughing when they saw his air of being a doormat.

This Wood seems to have opened up his heart. When he no longer confronts Su Wen, his attitude is still very good. At least he will take the initiative to talk to the latter.

Although Chambers was criticized by the head coach at the beginning, as he devoted himself to the pick-and-roll cooperation with Su Wen, his overall condition got better and better.

The pick-and-roll, the screen, and the basket attack all tortured Frank Brickkowski, the substitute who played Larry Nance, to death.

Although the two are both white players, their talents are very different.

Moreover, Chambers is also a guy with a strong tendency to abuse the frame. Whenever he gets a chance, he will never let go of any opportunity to dunk. This makes Brickkowski, who is at the center of the storm, miserable.

"Run away, Sue. After Tom covers you, you need to get down immediately without hesitation."

After Wilkens saw that he couldn't find the point to spray Chambers, he turned directly to Su Wen.

In his opinion, Chambers' screen was in place, but Su Wen did not step down in time. Instead, he stayed in place to observe the movement of his teammates. This was a waste of time and a screen from his teammates.

"All right!"

Su Wen raised his hand to admit his mistake, and then stopped observing his teammates in the next round. He took the ball and rushed in. When he rushed to the basket and met Pat Cummings' replacement, he passed the ball to Chambers. .

Chambers caught the ball, hit Brickowski hard, aimed at the basket and hit it hard.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, he completed a frame-breaking performance.

After landing, he ran back to the backcourt happily without even looking at the disheveled defender.

"very good!"

"Just hit like this!"

Lenny Wilkens applauded Suvin and Chambers, "Be resolute and decisive when going down the line, don't hesitate. Tom, you must also be crisp in your attack after catching the ball!"

The two nodded one after another and agreed.

"and also!"

Wilkens suddenly turned his head to look at El Wood, raising his eyelids, frightening the latter.

Is it to me?

Have I been scolded?

Wood was very panicked and couldn't help but slow down as he ran forward.

Unexpectedly, Wilkens just stared at him and said: "Al, you can return to the starting lineup later. Don't always think about being lazy and going to the substitute side."

"If you like the substitute so much, then please stay in the substitute lineup for me from now on."

Uh.
When Wood saw that he didn't scold him fiercely, but instead called himself back to the main lineup, he felt a little lucky and very happy at the same time.

The head coach recognized him!
Of course, he had already been replaced in the starting lineup in the last game.

It's just that in today's drill, he took the initiative to enter the substitute lineup and defend Su Wen.

However, Wilkens didn't warn him when he saw it, and just let him be on the substitute side. This made him feel a little guilty, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his performance in the last game and was relegated to the sidelines.

In the last game, because he was still competing with Su Wen, he didn't pass the ball to the opponent once, and there were very few exchanges between the two throughout the game.

He didn't pass the ball to Su Wen, and Su Wen didn't pass it to him. The two sides remained awkward, as if they were not on the same team.

If Su Wen hadn't shown extremely explosive personal abilities and played good team pick-and-roll coordination with others, if they had lost because of this, he and Su Wen would have definitely suffered!

Will be sprayed bloody by Wilkens.

If this continues, Wood will definitely be relegated to the sidelines and sent away when the free market opens.

At this time, Wilkens was called back to the starting lineup. Obviously, either the opponent did not realize what happened in the previous game. After all, Su Wen's performance was too eye-catching and attracted all the attention.

Or maybe I want to give him another chance.

With this realization, El Wood seemed very happy and returned to the main lineup obediently after more than ten minutes.

What surprised him even more was that just after he returned to participate in the first offense, Su Wen's pass came, giving him the opportunity to directly enter the basket and attack the frame.

Not only that, in the next ten minutes or so, Su Wen passed more and more passes to him, and the number of fast break counterattacks he cooperated with him gradually increased, and he even gave him multiple opportunities to finish.

After the drill, he scored 16 points and was so moved that he almost cried.

He just scored 4 points in the last game, and only got 4 shots. He didn't touch the ball very much, like an invisible man.

In today's thirty-minute practice, his score actually quadrupled!
What a huge leap!
