On the second day, both the Wizards and the Nets began to feel the pressure.
A team with an All-Star backcourt and Jordan, as well as Duke, who had scored 20 boards in two consecutive games, had the ability to compete with the team in the finals last season.
In fact, in terms of star taste, a genius was even better.
The only hidden danger was that Jordan was old. It was still unknown whether he had enough fuel on both offense and defense to match the net consumption at its peak.
But no matter what, the encounter between these two teams already had the taste of a strong confrontation.
However, before that, he had to mention yesterday's team.
O'Neal continued to rest, but with Kobe leading the team alone, he easily defeated the Clippers.
The game was broadcasted live across the United States. Kobe performed brilliantly in front of countless fans. He scored 12 out of 18 shots and had a triple-double of 33 points, 15 rebounding, and 12 assists.
His five offensive rebounded somewhat made up for O'Neal's lack of support.
After taking down the Clippers, the Clippers finally won one game. They were currently 1 win and 2 losses and ranked 12th in the Western Conference.
Such a record did not look like a team that had just completed a three-time championship dynasty.
O'Neill's absence had a considerable impact.
However, Kobe's performance of 30 points per game in these three games was still enough for him to secure his position as the top shooting guard.
In fact, Allen Iverson wasn't any weaker.
While leading the team to 2 wins and 1 loss, he also scored an average of 27 points per game. In terms of leading the team, he was slightly better than Kobe.
McGrady, on the other hand, followed closely behind. With an average of 26 points per game and a shooting percentage of more than 50%, he led the team to 2 wins and 1 loss.
In the first match, he even went against Iverson and scored 31 points.
As for Cate, he had lost too badly in the match against the prodigies and could only be ranked last.
The four shooting guards had impeccable performances in their first three matches. They had become the focus of the Alliance in every match.
Their explosive popularity and explosive performance completely overshadowed Jordan. No one could stop them from officially taking over the Alliance.
Therefore, during this period of time, other than Duke, these four people were the ones who received the most media coverage.
One could imagine how popular they were.
However, the prodigy was currently in the middle of a joint training, practicing the tactics for the night. He didn't care about the scenery outside.
During training, Jordan, who was the first to take a break, said this to the manager, Doug Collins. No one knew what they were plotting.
However, Duke could guess that it was related to him from the way the other party kept looking at him.
"Du performed well in the first two games, but tonight his first test is coming. Whether he can be given more burdens in the future depends on him tonight.”
"You're right, Michael. Duke still needs more tests, and Dickenbay is his first test. I hope he has a good performance."
"Maybe we don't have to worry too much. I can see great energy in that kid's eyes. He's not the kind of person who's willing to be mediocre. I have confidence in him!"
Jordan looked at Duke again with a smile." This kid dares to ignore my request. He will never yield in front of Dickenbay.”
"Haha, then he is indeed worthy of our expectations, isn't he?”
Collins could not help but laugh when he thought of Duke disobeying Jordan's instructions.
In his mind, he recalled the previous two matches. Duke would attack the box whenever he had a chance. Sometimes, he did not care if there was a defender next to him or if his teammate was in an open space.
In short, as long as there was a chance to score, he would take the ball and do it.
Duke had an extraordinary drive!
Perhaps after thinking for a long time, Jordan suddenly said,""I'll start tonight. Richard Jefferson isn't easy to defend, and Jerry might suffer.”
"Understood!"
Collins did not object to Jordan's suggestion and agreed without a second word.
When the two of them said this, they fell silent. However, in their calmness, their eyes flickered with sharpness.
They had more expectations for the future after Duke's outstanding performance.
Time flew by, and it was soon night time.
Led by Jordan, the Wizards, who were waiting at home, entered the stadium.
None of them were affected by the pressure of the live broadcast in the United States at all. Each of them looked calm and composed, with strong confidence.
But soon, when the live DJ announced the starting list, it still attracted the home fans 'exclamations and excitement.
"Wow, Michael is starting!"
"Does he feel pressured?"
"Oh my god, I'm so excited. Michael is actually starting. I can't wait!”
"I thought he would play the entire season as the sixth man. Sure enough, the Nets still put a lot of pressure on them!”
"Buddy, isn't it just the New jersey Nets? We are not afraid of them now.”
"The Nets were last season's finals team. They're a very strong team. We can't let our guard down.”
"But buddy, we have Du now. With his protective frame, we don't have to worry at all.”
"Perhaps!"
Since Duke's appearance, the fans who had more ideas about the new season could not help but worry when their team encountered a strong team for the first time.
The lineup of geniuses looked strong on the surface, but that was only on paper.
Only by being baptized and verified by other strong teams would one be able to see if they were really strong.
The Nets were undoubtedly the best test target.
The match had officially started. Old Du and Vanessa were already waiting by the side of the field. He was excited, excited, and worried.
As a result, he had been secretly comparing the lineup of the Wizards and the Nets.
Number five, Duke;
The fourth player was Kristen Leitner.
The third player was Michael Jordan.
Second position: Jerry Stackhouse;
Number one, Larry Hughes.
New jersey net--
Number five: Dikembe Mutumbo, 218cm;
Number four: Kenyon Martin, 206cm;
Number 3: Richard Jefferson, 201cm;
Number two: Corey Kidders, 196cm;
Number one: Jason Kidd, 193cm.
Needless to say, the lineup of the Wizards was the best. Other than Jason Kidd, who didn't attack, the Nets had an average of 20 points per game for several seasons.
Martin was also the top fourth player in the league. He was the jumping man and the taller Kate.
With the addition of Mutombo guarding the basket, the Nets were a championship team.
However, before Old Du could worry too much, the game began.
It was Duke's first time facing Mutombo, who had the same height, body shape, and long arm span as him. Duke took a deep breath. The moment the referee threw the ball into the air, he suddenly jumped up and swung his palm at the basketball.
He wanted to take down a city first!
The support of my brothers is the motivation for me to continue writing. Please! I'm writing with all my might!
