Heywood could only place his hope on Jiang Dalin.

As long as these guys do the same to him.

Then he will feel balanced.

Probably so. Although he is this year's No. 1 pick, he is still a rookie!

result……

Opening the cabinet in the dressing room, there was a cake inside.

Then Hamilton, who had just handed Heywood a pink schoolbag, put a hat symbolizing the "birthday boy" on Jiang Dalin. The picture was beautiful and warm.

September 15th, by the way, today is my birthday!

Jiang Dalin was belatedly aware of his teammates’ happy birthday songs. He always subconsciously believed that his birthday was February 19th, which was his birthday before time travel. Jiang’s parents and Jiang’s mother celebrated his birthday according to the lunar calendar.

Come on, this makes him unable to remember his birthday in this life.

Unexpectedly, these teammates actually prepared such a surprise for him.

What a lovely group of teammates!

Jiang Dalin's favorability towards these teammates began to rise.

Of course, he also knew that this must be the result of Michael Jordan's greeting.

He glanced at Michael Jordan, who said, "It's all a trivial matter, just one sentence!"

Heywood wanted to cry. Is this the same group of people who just watched me open the locker and watched Hamilton hand the pink schoolbag to him?

If you really care about newcomers so much, why are you still trying to punish me?

Heywood almost cried with anger.

Jiang Dalin blew out the 19 candles on the cake in one breath as his teammates shouted "happy birthday" and happily spent his 19th birthday.

The next step was to divide the cake, and this task finally fell to Heywood. As a result, there was still one piece missing at the end, and he, the one who cut it, didn't get to eat...

But even though he didn't get to eat the cake, in the end he had the most cake on his face. His face was painted white and was covered with cream.

No, isn’t the birthday boy the number one scholar in China?

What are you putting on my face?

Jiang Dalin looked at Heywood's appearance, "It's a pity that the pixels of today's mobile phones are too poor, otherwise what a wonderful memory this would be!"

After the celebration in the locker room, Jiang Dalin was not a stingy person and agreed to invite everyone to a nightclub to have fun.

Now the rest of the Wizards look at him more favorably.

He called "honey" one after another.

Jiang Dalin had a vague feeling that this would become his nickname in the future.

In fact, many fans in Michigan called him that. It took about four or five months for his teammates and coaches to finally call "Darling" "Da Lin."

Reading the Chinese intonation correctly is not an easy task for these foreigners.

Jiang Dalin didn't bother to correct him.

The atmosphere in the locker room was lively, and everyone changed clothes and headed towards the training hall together. The aftermath of the locker room was naturally left to the rookie Haywood.

Jordan deliberately walked at the end, and only Haywood was left in the locker room. Then he walked up to the latter and said, "Man, work hard and show the style of our North Carolina people!" After that, without waiting for Haywood to say anything, he went straight out.

.

Heywood had a beeping expression on his face. Now you have remembered that I am your junior, right?

However, although he has got rid of the "younger brother position", if he really wants to have the status of the team, it cannot be achieved by Michael Jordan in just one sentence. Maybe he can guarantee Jiang Dalin's starting position, but if he can't show the corresponding

His performance may even be questioned by Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan's "god" comeback for the second time is really not stable at all.

His backer could fall at any time, and Jiang Dalin could only rely on his own performance to impress the Wizards players.

Fortunately, the competition in the interior is not very fierce. The departure of "Uncle Huo" left the Wizards without a general in the interior. The remaining interior players are Christian Laettner, Jahi Dee White, Edon Thomas, and Christian Leiter.

Na entered the league in 1992 and is now a 32-year-old veteran. Jahidy White was on the second rotation in 1998 and played a career-high 8.6 points and 7.7 rebounds last season. Edon Thomas was a rookie last year, but there was almost no

What playing time…

The three of them, plus Jiang Dalin and Haywood, who just joined the team this year, formed the inside line of this year's Wizards. Only after seeing this list did Jiang Dalin understand why the original Kwame Brown was forced to do so by Jordan.

Too bad, because there is really no one available!

The Wizards put all their hopes of interior reinforcement on the first pick of the 2001 first round!

Compared with the inside, the Wizards have accumulated a lot of players on the outside. In addition to Michael Jordan and Hamilton, this team also has Tyronn Lue at the first position and 2001 rookie Courtney Alexander at the second position.

, No. 2 veteran Hugh Porter-Davis, No. 3 veteran Pooper Jones, No. 3 1998 undrafted player Te'lon Nesby...

It's just that although there are many people, Jiang Dalin only knows the future "Director Lu" and really has no memory of the other people's names.

This means that the only people he can count on in the new season are Michael Jordan and Hamilton.

Oh, Heywood is good too.

"Director Lu"...

When guarding Allen Iverson, it counts as one person, and the rest is...

Okay, originally I got the contract because I was good at guarding Allen Iverson.

For this reason, within a few days, head coach Doug Collins determined the starting lineup: No. 1 Tyronn Lue, No. 2 Michael Jordan, No. 3 Hamilton, No. 4 Jiang Dalin, and No. 5 Haywood.

.

Of the few people Jiang Dalin could count on from the beginning, none of them were left in the starting lineup.

Collins is still very concerned about Jiang Dalin's growth. After finalizing the starting lineup, he has been discussing with the coaching staff how to train him. However, Jiang Dalin did not feel any joy.

No wonder, as far as the Wizards' roster is concerned, he is the only one they can focus on cultivating.

In about three days, a special training plan for Jiang Dalin was officially released, mainly to improve his ability to dribble and hold the ball under the basket, and to continue to improve Jiang Dalin's shooting ability.

These two aspects are quite satisfactory to Jiang Dalin.

In the past two days, Collins has organized several tactical moves for the Wizards' starting five. Judging from the entire tactical arrangement, Michael Jordan is the main attacker, and Hamilton also plays a large role on the offensive end. It is left to Jiang Dalin.

Basically, it's all about confrontation and secondary offense at the basket, which is not much different from his role in Michigan...

This requires him to improve his dribbling and ball-holding abilities in confrontations.

In addition, because Haywood has no shooting ability at all, the task of helping outside players occupy the inside space on the offensive end has also been handed over to Jiang Dalin.

This requires him to have good mid-range shooting ability.

The basis for Collins' special training plan for Jiang Dalin came from these tactical movement drills.
