Chapter 499

Richard also went to watch the masters and rookie challenge on Friday evening.

But Paul Allen, Richard's former boss, entered the masters again this year, so Richard went to the scene to cheer on his former boss.

After that, there were many Richard students competing in the rookie challenge. Finally, the honor of MVP in the rookie competition was won by the second grade Richardson.

Richard was not interested in Saturday's miscellaneous games, so he didn't go to watch them directly, mainly because no one in the piston team took part in today's game.

……

Sunday night's All-Star game, the biggest feast of All-Star weekend, countless fans are waiting for this game tonight.

The head coach of both sides has a lot of connections. Zhang Weiping, the pioneer coach, played for a long time under Richard's hands. With Richard's departure, he took the position of the pioneer coach.

One and a half seasons with the team's pioneers, Zhang Weiping's performance is still able to satisfy the pioneers' fans, which is nothing.

As for the head coach of the Eastern team, there is no doubt Richard. In this year's All-Star competition, two-thirds of the stars are labeled Richard.

It's terrible. No wonder Richard now has a considerable voice in the league.

This group of stars are quite supportive of Richard, representing two-thirds of the league's high-end combat power on Richard's side, he has no voice.

……

Players from both sides began to warm up, triggering a scream from the fans.

What's more embarrassing is that as the host, no one in this year's Eagles has been selected as an all star

During the warm-up, some reporters began to interview the players.

Jordan is naturally a big hit to be interviewed. Countless journalists surround Jordan and want to get first-hand information from him.

"Michael, will you continue to play in the League after this season?" A reporter raised the issue of most concern to all.

That is whether Jordan will retire after playing this season.

The significance of this retirement is totally different from Jordan's two previous retirements

At present, Jordan is already 40 years old. Coincidentally, tonight is Jordan's fortieth birthday.

Jordan, born on February 17, 1963, happens to be born on February 17, 2003 tonight. It's not his fortieth birthday

If he does retire this time, Jordan may not be able to make a comeback. He is expected to leave the stadium forever.

Jordan waved. "I really don't know about this kind of thing."

"It's possible to retire at the end of this season, or to play for another two years and try to bring the Wizards into the playoffs before I retire this time."

Maybe now the playoffs are Jordan's only complaint. After he came back last season, he didn't bring the Wizards into the playoffs, and this season is quite a suspense.

At present, the Wizards rank ninth in the East. Although the gap from eighth is not large, no one can say that it is not good. Maybe they will end up stuck outside the playoffs.

Looking at Jordan's expression is quite depressed, the reporters are also very knowledgeable and did not ask this topic.

"It's your birthday tonight, Michael. Do you want to get an all star MVP and give yourself a birthday present tonight?" The reporter asked the fans about their relationship.

To their surprise, Jordan shook his head directly.

"No, not at all, man, do you think I care about a little all star MVP?"

"Now it's the age of young people. I would like the young players in the east to get this MVP, such as Yao Ming..."

"If Yao Ming can get this MVP, I think it's definitely deserved. This young player, I quite appreciate it. In my opinion, he may be no less than O'Neill's center."

"Give him some time. He will rule the League!"

Jordan is not stingy of his praise, praised Yao Ming

Many reporters look at each other. What do you mean? How much does Jordan like Yao Ming?

Is it Jordan who knows that Richard may cut off his appearance time, and then intentionally says this excuse, saving face for a while?

"Michael, the reason you don't want to take the MVP, is it Richard?" Asked a reporter, frowning.

"I'm kidding. Richard and I are quite good friends. In fact, he called me before and asked if I wanted to take this MVP."

"I just told him that I didn't want to..."

"I think you may have misunderstood Richard. He may be the most successful young coach in the league. Maybe in a few years, he will become the most successful head coach in NBA history."

"He is a manager with a good character, otherwise, he would not be such a good friend with me.""I'm Jordan's very accurate. Richard is a good man..."

Maybe Jordan can't blow any more, so stop here.

, a reporter, you can make complaints about your character.

Good you little mushroom

This product is generally recognized as a maniac. As a manager, he can fight with people on the stage. From where can he see that his character is good.

And you, Jordan, have a good eye for people? Are you kidding me

Seeing the reporters rolling their eyes, Jordan smiled awkwardly. He blew too much.

……

There was a long cry over the stadium, indicating that the game was about to begin.

The starting lineup of both sides came on the stage. In the whistle of the referee, the All-Star game officially began.

Shaquille O'Neal jumped the ball and got his first shot.

Then Byron Davis helped Bryant and made a mid-range shot.

It's the eastern offensive round. When T-Mac dribbles to the front court, he directly pulls out his shot, but the result is that he doesn't hit the iron. Clark grabs the rebounds, and the latter passes the ball to Yao Ming directly.

In the face of O'Neal's single defense, Yao Ming was not afraid of it, Tian Gou shot and scored two points.

O'Neal's face is a little ugly. He is playing Yao Ming for the first time. Before the regular season, the pistons haven't played the Lakers.

This day hook makes O'Neill feel that the Chinese kid in front of him is a little difficult.

He was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to hang Yao Ming well, so as to avoid people saying that Yao Ming should surpass himself every day

This year's All-Star vote really scared O'Neill.

Yao's vote is almost twice that of O'Neal. If the Chinese kid is in the west, he can probably squeeze out his all star starting position.

Think of himself as a substitute to play All-Star, O'Neill on a scalp tight.

Yao Ming's strength is good, which even O'Neill has to admit, but he actually feels that Yao Ming really wants to be on his own, it's definitely the part of being hanged.

Now this all star game is the best chance to prove that you can hang Yao Ming!

……

But what makes O'Neal pretty miserable is that Kobe Bryant in the west is a fucking lunatic and doesn't give him a shot at all.

After playing for a few minutes in the first quarter, Yao Ming got the help of his teammates on the field, scoring points and climbing every day.

O'Neal, on the other hand, didn't get too much offensive ball power, that is, he grabbed an offensive rebound and played a second attack.

It can be said that a strong center, if the backcourt does not pass to him, he can only become a blue collar player.

O'Neill is in such a tragic situation. He has no chance to show his strength.

In just a few minutes, Yao Ming has scored 10 out of 5 of 8.

"Doodle doodle!"

The referee whistled a pause, a change of players took place on the west side, and O'Neill was replaced by Kevin Garnett.

Under normal circumstances, the MVP of this all star game is taken by Garnett.

Duncan has also been replaced with a big one.

What makes O'Neill very painful is that Big Ben seems to be a wandering soul when he comes on the stage. It's so obvious to release water to Yao Ming

Yao Ming scored four points again.

Richard's side also changed people, giving other all stars some performance opportunities.

Yao Ming scored 14 points in the first quarter. If the East wins tonight, Yao Ming is almost certain to get the all star MVP.

"Li, do you plan to invest in the team?" The second quarter of the game has already begun, Jordan is already too lazy to play, sit down and chat with Richard.

"Well? Michael, why do you ask that? " Richard frowned at Jordan.

"I've sold all my shares in the Wizards now, and I'm expected to retire after this season."

"But I still don't want to play in this field. If possible, I want to play a team."

Richard is surprised. Jordan won't get any inside information, will he?

It's hard to say that Charlotte Bobcats are now starting to set up?

Charlotte Bobcat's first boss, of course, is not Jordan, he was later a shareholder.

It's also interesting to say that the formation of the Bobcats is also quite interesting. Their boss is Robert Johnson, a black man.

The reason why he was chosen to build the 30th NBA team was due to the pressure of public opinion.

At present, the owners of 29 teams in the league have no black people

To know that in the NBA, black is the absolute protagonist, but there is no black in the boss, which makes people doubt whether there is racial discrimination in the NBA.In this case, the alliance management committee had no choice but to choose Johnson to build Charlotte Bobcats.

"Michael, what do you know?" Richard asked with wide eyes.

Jordan nodded. "Yes, I did get the news. The NBA is going to expand. This expansion is in Charlotte."

"But it will take a lot of time to expand the army. It is estimated that the news will not be made public until the next year."

Richard was surprised. It was Charlotte bobcat.
