Capítulo 126: Chapter 96: The Promising Future of the Washington Wizards (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Zhuzhong Xiaojing)

In the seven games leading up to Christmas, with Yu Fei on protective suspension, the Wizards only won three of them, beating only the Heat and the Atlanta Hawks, two negligible weak teams. Their sole commendable victory was against the Knicks in their third encounter, which they won thanks to Jordan's far beyond physically demanding 44-minute appearance and a beautiful near-game-winning shot.

But the three wins couldn't make people forget the Wizards' inherent problems.

Will Yu Fei really be traded? When will the trade be completed?

Jordan's tenosynovitis seems to be getting worse—why not control his playing time?

This month, the Wizards have become the NBA's traffic king, surpassing even the OK Lakers in media drawing power.

These past few days, offers have been laying on Jordan's desk from various teams.

The Atlanta Hawks are willing to trade Shareef Abdur-Rahim for Yu Fei and are even willing to accept Ratner's trash contract.
