If Michael Jordan doesn't play, Jiang Dalin has to play. He was the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft.

You ask me, what does the 2001 draft mean to the Wizards?

Let me tell you now, Michael Jordan has to play the games he wants to play, and he still has to play the games Michael Jordan doesn’t want to play. In a word, he has to play the games Michael Jordan can play, and the games Michael Jordan can’t play.

He still has to play. The team hopes that he will become the mainstay of the future! This is the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft. Are you sure?

In order to better allow Jiang Dalin to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, Collins did not even give Hamilton much playing time. The entire team played completely around Jiang Dalin, and there was no tactical arrangement. Jiang Dalin could do whatever he felt comfortable with...

…

With this arrangement, the Wizards' preseason record was naturally not that good, winning 2 games in 6 games. However, Jiang Dalin was really happy, averaging 16.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 6 games.

"Large Two Pairs".

Data is not the most important thing. The more important point is that Jiang Dalin showed ease in a preseason game. This means a lot. Obviously, the intensity of the NBA regular season cannot be given to this 01 player.

How much interference will the young champion bring?

The Washington media are also very satisfied with Jiang Dalin's performance. They have praised and praised Jiang Dalin's performance in large and small reports. There are also many posters of Jiang Dalin on the streets of Washington, and many of them are wearing Washington's No. 1 jersey and facing the camera.

The 18-year-old American girls who express their love loudly are very youthful.

The only person who "disapproves" of Jiang Dalin is Michael Jordan.

"It's not a big deal. As the number one pick, it's normal for you to perform like this, because if you can't produce such data, it means you are a parallel import!"

Michael Olowokandi: Courtesy, are you Jordan?

"In comparison, I think Brand's performance in the preseason was very good. He was just a guy at the end of the first round, but he performed really well!"

In 6 games, Haywood averaged 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 9.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. It seems far behind Jiang Dalin, but compared with the performance of other insiders ahead of him in the preseason,

He is indeed quite good. If the 2001 draft is reorganized after this preseason, Haywood will never fall to such a low position again.

Although Haywood wanted to correct his senior, he was the 20th pick in the first round and not that late, but he was still very happy. This was the first time in his memory that Michael Jordan praised him, and the comparison object was Jiang Dalin.

.

He was almost moved to tears!

Not easy!

I, Brandon Haywood, have finally entered the heart of "Senior Jordan"...

Jiang Dalin looked at Heywood's excited look and shook his head slightly. This kid really doesn't understand Michael Jordan! With his mouth, would he praise others?

Not to mention his performance of 16.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, even if Jiang Dalin performs 20 plus 16, he can guarantee that Michael Jordan will still not praise him. This guy has the same expectations as a thirty-year-old woman.

There is no upper limit and you will never be satisfied.

But for Haywood, knowing his length and the scale he can play, for such a person, Michael Jordan will not be stingy in his praise for his current performance.

This is just like a school teacher who won't deliberately praise those top students who score 100 points in a test every time, but would like to praise those "scumbags" who score 75 points in an occasional test in front of the whole class.

The discussion about Jiang Dalin has recently become the focus of discussion in the Washington media, and has also become the focus of discussion in the entire league media. Some people think that he will become the next "Rain Man" Kemp, a violent center, and occasionally even play under the basket.

Shaquille O'Neal-like explosion damage.

Some people also think that his single offensive method will make him mediocre when facing stronger opponents in the regular season.

Among them, the two people who questioned the most were TNT's new ace commentator Charles Barkley. In a show he participated in with Kenny Smith, he publicly questioned Jiang Dalin: "He will be a parallel import, there is no doubt about it."

, I can guarantee that he will not score more than 19 points in a single game in his rookie season. If he can sit down, I will eat all the thick stack of press releases placed in front of me!"

When Jiang Dalin found out about this, he shook his head "tsk tsk". He didn't have much response, he just said: "We'll see."

In fact, he didn't even want to say this. He knew very well that this boy Buckley was here to cheat and drink again...

There is another person who questioned Jiang Dalin, who can be regarded as an "old acquaintance", Bill Simmons, the culprit who joined others in the draft to publicly question his age and playing experience. However, Jiang Dalin knew that he would be earlier, so he didn't

Before time travel, he knew that there was a "Yao Black" in the league, or a "Chinese Player Black". As late as 2008, he was still saying that Yao Ming's ability was not worthy of being the No. 1 pick in 2002. Now it seems that this guy is targeting him!

It's just that Jiang Dalin really doesn't bother to pay attention to him. As he said to reporters before the draft, he is just a clown. Even paying attention to him is considered a sign of Jiang Dalin's anxiety.

There is another reason...

On October 31st, the opening game of the NBA 01~02 season officially arrived. David Stern knew exactly what everyone was looking forward to in the opening game. He also arranged the game between the Wizards and Rockets as everyone expected.

The first game of the new NBA season was played, and at the same time, the "National Live Broadcast" directly gave Michael Jordan a lot of attention.

So much so that before this game, the entire media focused their attention on Michael Jordan again.

After 1998, after three years of silence, this man...he is back!

Others, including those who doubted Jiang Dalin, had to step aside now.

Starting at 12 noon, a large group of fans holding various Michael Jordan posters gathered at the Verizon Center Arena. At around 5 p.m., nearly 20,000 fans could not wait to enter the stadium. Washington

The police department specially dispatched 6 police cars to maintain order for this purpose, and even discussed with General Manager Earl to open the arena in advance so that fans with tickets can wait in advance to prevent a large-scale stampede.

And 40 minutes before the start of the game, countless cameras were already in place on the edge of the entire arena, and the crowds of heads were all in the dark, and they were tirelessly shaking the Michael Jordan posters in their hands!

It hasn't started yet, but it's already more lively than the opening.

This group of excited fans didn't even bother to boo the Rockets who entered the stadium early. They wanted to save the biggest cheers for that man!

In fact, not only them, but also the Rockets are also eagerly awaiting Michael Jordan's appearance. The only difference is that Francis and Mobley, the core players of the Rockets, all have a look of determination on their faces.

They welcome Michael Jordan the same way, but the way they welcome him may be slightly different.

Paul Pierce spoke out the provocative words. There are many players in the league like him who hold back their energy to challenge Michael Jordan, but they just don't speak in front of the media.

Finally, after much anticipation, the entrance ceremony for the Wizards' home players officially arrived.

Jiang Dalin was the first player to appear on the team, and his appearance also heated up the atmosphere of the entire arena. Just like the changes that occurred in Washington because of Jiang Dalin, many Wizards fans also changed.

My own opinion, I fell in love with this "beast" from China.

This can be seen from the fact that the cheers from the audience were obviously much smaller during the next few appearances.

It wasn't until Hamilton came on the stage that the cheers became louder.

"It sounds like Dalin is more popular?" Xu Jicheng and Yu Jia were also present. He compared the cheers when Jiang Dalin and Hamilton appeared on the stage based on his feeling, and felt that Jiang Dalin won.

Of course this is his personal feeling.

Hamilton was the 14th player of the Wizards to appear. After he appeared, the DJ did not immediately call out the name of the next player. He took a deep breath, and the scene reached the maximum level of silence at this time.

It's hard to believe that this is an arena with more than 20,000 people present, and it's almost unbelievably quiet.

At this time, the spotlights focused on the door of the home tunnel.

"Let us welcome the greatest player in the NBA and the returning god of basketball, Michael...Jordan!"

Amid the passionate introduction by the DJ, the man took a deep breath, walked out of the darkness, smiled, and jogged out. Nearly a hundred cameras were pointed at him at the same time, and the big screen above the arena immediately showed

When it came to the close-up, the silence in the entire stadium suddenly exploded, cheers exploded in everyone's ears like spring thunder, and there was only excitement on their faces.

The man who dominated the NBA throughout the 1990s, he officially returned as the Wizards No. 23!
