During this period, Happy accepted two more short-term endorsements for him. The contracts were not large, adding up to about 250,000 yuan. After deducting taxes and Happy's commission, about 130,000 yuan was left.

But just in time, on the night of his birthday, "Mr. Jiang" spent 110,000 on all the purchases. From a "millionaire" to a "900,000 millionaire", he is finally back to the ranks of "millionaires".

After practicing together for more than half a month, the Wizards' starting lineup has gradually developed a tacit understanding.

The only minor friction was that Michael Jordan wanted Hamilton to develop his ball-handling skills and play more face-offs.

Hamilton complained endlessly. It wasn't that he didn't want to listen to Michael Jordan, but he really couldn't develop the ability to control the ball in singles!

Because of this incident, Michael Jordan originally sent Hamilton to the Pistons for his junior Jerry Stackhouse after the Wizards missed the playoffs.

However, this time with Jiang Dalin in the middle, this small friction did not have much impact. Even a week before the end of the closed training camp, Michael Jordan no longer forced Hamilton to play singles with the ball in the team's training games, letting him

Returned to the rhythm of running without the ball that he is best at.

He also thought about it, as long as he can make the playoffs if he plays like this!

Jiang Dalin's shooting ability has improved again during this period, but in the later training games, the intensity was obviously insufficient. It is still unknown what level he can actually perform on the court.

But his ability to catch and hold the ball has indeed improved, especially his ability to attack the frame by hitting the ball after catching the ball. Collins has a hunch that this trick will become Jiang Dalin's signature scoring method in the new season...

At the end of the closed training camp, general manager Earl made another deal, acquiring the rights to sign second-round pick Bobby Simmons from the Sonics.

Haywood cried with joy. Finally, I am not the only rookie on this team!

I finally have a companion on my way to buy burgers!

Jiang Dalin looked at Bobby Simmons, the new player who joined the Wizards. What should I say? He had indeed heard of this guy and he would even win the "Most Improved Award" in the future.

But the problem is that the Wizards let go of Juwan Howard in March this year. There were only three transactions in the summer that can be regarded as signings. They selected Jiang Dalin with the No. 1 pick in exchange for Haywood, the 20th pick in this year's first round.

, coupled with the signing rights of a second-round pick picked up like scraps... this reinforcement, to be honest, is too shabby.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the Wizards still spent a lot of money this year. They spent 3.57 million over two years to sign future "championship coach" Tyronn Lue...

It’s really big!

No wonder ESPN ranks this year's Wizards at the tenth spot in the Eastern Conference!

Three rookies plus a 38-year-old man, and the only one who can be considered a star, Hamilton... With this main lineup, if Jiang Dalin had to arrange it himself, he would not be able to put the Wizards much higher.

.

It happened that after Michael Jordan found out about this ranking, he was very angry and took Hamilton to practice bullfighting. After training this kid to the ground, he calmed down.

The "Basketball God" feels he is underestimated.

"Even though I am 38 years old, I am still one of the best stars in this league!" Michael Jordan said this confidently on the day of the media open day.

Only then did Jiang Dalin realize that it wasn't Earl who didn't operate, it was obviously Michael Jordan who didn't let him operate. This guy was too confident in his own strength. If he signed a few good players, it would be like he was hugging his thighs.

Same.

Jiang Dalin feels exhausted. Isn't it good to play brother basketball? Maybe you can play until the age of 51 when you come back this time, waiting to compete with your son on the same stage.

This old man is just too stubborn.

Some ideas should stay in the 90s!

As soon as Michael Jordan's words came out, they immediately caused a huge response in the league. Some people agreed with Michael Jordan's words, and most of them were "remnants" of the 1990s. Of course, there were also those who ridiculed Jordan, such as Paul, the star of the Celtics.

Pierce said bluntly, "You'd better not come back, this is already our alliance!"

He was the first person among so many people to stand up and ridicule. In line with the principle of "shooting the first bird", Michael Jordan asked the reporter closest to him in the reporter's interview the next day: "Our new season."

When is the first game?”

After getting the answer, he also nodded and smiled: "Tell that guy, I will get 40 points on his head!"

The domineering response made Kenny Smith exclaim, "He is still the god of basketball, at least when it comes to confidence!"

Barkley complained: "I actually think it's better for the old guy not to come back. This is indeed their alliance."

But Michael Jordan's words "Don't talk to those who haven't won a championship" made "Big Mouth" helplessly shut up...

This is his Achilles heel, especially when these words come from the mouth of Michael Jordan, who once defeated him in the finals, he has no words to respond to, he can only say "He is handsome like a Jaguar, I want to

I am handsome even if I have so much money!”

The entire league is in an uproar because of Jordan. Washington finally has a bit of a capital look and is no longer forgotten behind New York, Los Angeles, Miami... and other cities.

Compared with the eye-catching Michael Jordan, even Jiang Dalin, the No. 1 pick in 2001, looks a lot bleak... However, this is quite normal. You can't put anyone in front of Michael Jordan, at least, in this case.

Before the first regular season game of the season starts.

Michael Jordan has decided not to play in the preseason: "I don't need any adaptation. I have been playing in this league for so many years. I just left for a while. It won't affect me anything!"

Jiang Dalin felt a headache after hearing this. Who sneaked up to practice with me yesterday?

Why don't you pretend to be capable of death?

You are not a "big bird" and you do whatever you say. Don't you know what your current state is?

But when it comes to basketball, no one can persuade Michael Jordan, including Jiang Dalin...

Fortunately, in the first regular season game of the new season, the Wizards faced the Houston Rockets at home, and their overall strength was not strong.

ESPN ranks this Rockets team at tenth in the Western Conference, facing the Wizards at the same position.

But Jiang Dalin knows very well that the position ESPN gave the Rockets, which is no longer a good position, is still high. This season, the Rockets finally went for the No. 1 pick. The team's overall belief in winning is not strong. It is considered a team.

A good Western Conference team to deal with.

And for about half a month, there will be few strong teams.

From the schedule, we can see how much David Stern cares about Michael Jordan.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, Michael Jordan does deserve to be treated like this. After all, he is the man who saved NBA ratings.

Michael Jordan's confidence may come from this schedule!

It's the same when he adapts to the regular season...

Therefore, Jiang Dalin can try out the weak teams in this league to get a feel for it.

Being on the same team as the "God of Basketball" finally has some benefits!
