Chapter 503: Charlotte Bobcats

On Friday night's Masters and Rookie Challenge, Richard also went to watch.
The celebrity tournament is not worth seeing, but this year Richard’s former boss Paul Allen is participating again, so Richard went to the scene to cheer on his former boss.
After the rookie challenge, there were a lot of Richard's disciples, and finally the rookie MVP honor was won by the second-year Richardson.
In the miscellaneous games on Saturday, Richard was not very interested and did not go directly to watch, mainly because nobody in the Pistons participated in today's game.
...
The All-Star game on Sunday night is the biggest feast of the All-Star weekend, and countless fans are waiting for this game tonight.
The head coaches of the two sides have a lot of connections. The Blazers coach Zhang Weiping had played under Richard's underage. With Richard's departure, he took the position of the Blazers' head coach.
Leading the Blazers for one and a half seasons, Zhang Weiping's performance can still be satisfactory to the Blazers fans, it can be regarded as ineffective.
As for the head coach in the east, it is undoubtedly Richard. Among the All-Stars in this competition, there are two-thirds of the players who are labeled as Richard.
This is terrifying, and it is no wonder that Richard now has considerable weight in the alliance.
The gang of stars are quite supportive of Richard, representing two-thirds of the league's high-end combat power standing on Richard's side, he has no right to speak.
...
The players on both sides started to warm up, which caused a scream of fans on the scene.
More embarrassingly, as a host, this year's Hawks are not selected for the All-Star...
During the warm-up session, some reporters started to interview players.
Jordan is naturally a hot topic to be interviewed, countless reporters surround Jordan, want to get first-hand news from Jordan.
"Michael, after playing this season, will you continue to fight in the league?" Some reporters asked everyone the most concerns.
That is whether Jordan will retire after this season.
This retirement is completely different from Jordan's previous two retirements...
Jordan is now 40 years old. Coincidentally, tonight is Jordan's 40th birthday.
Jordan, who was born on February 17, 1963, happened tonight on February 17, 2003, but it was his fortieth birthday...
If he really retires this time, Jordan may have no possibility of a comeback. It is estimated that he will bid farewell to the stadium forever.
Jordan waved his hand, "I really don't know about this kind of thing."
"May be retired after the end of this season, or may continue to play for two years, trying to bring the Wizards into the playoffs before I retire."
Maybe the playoffs are Jordan's only complaint now. After his comeback last season, he did not bring the Wizards into the playoffs, and this season is also quite dangling.
The Wizards are currently ranked ninth in the East. Although the gap from the eighth is not too big, no one can say anything about this. Perhaps it will be stuck outside the playoffs.
Seeing Jordan's expression quite distressed, the reporters were also very conscious of not asking this topic.
"Tonight is your birthday, Michael, have you ever thought about getting the All-Star MVP tonight and giving yourself a birthday gift?" The reporter asked the fans a lot about the topic.
What surprised them was that Jordan shook his head straight away.
"No, there is no such plan at all, man, do you think I still care about a little All-Star MVP?"
"Now it is the age of young people. I would rather hope that young players in the East can get this MVP, such as Yao Ming..."
"If Yao Ming can get this MVP, I think it is definitely deserved. This young player, I really appreciate it. In my opinion, he may be no less than O'Neill's center."
"Give him some time, he will definitely rule this alliance!"
Jordan did not skimp on his own compliments, and praised Yao Ming fiercely...
Many reporters looked at each other, what did they mean? Jordan is so optimistic about Yao Ming?
Could it be that Jordan knew that Richard might have deducted his playing time, and then deliberately said such pretexts, so that he could not save his face for a while?
"Michael, you don't want to take the MVP, is it because of Richard?" a reporter asked with a frown.
"Just kidding, Richard and I are pretty good friends. In fact, he called me before and asked if I wanted to take this MVP."
"I told him very simply, I don't want to..."
"I feel that you may have misunderstood Richard. He may be the most successful young coach in the league. Perhaps in a few years, he may become the most successful head coach in the entire NBA history."
"He is a head coach with a good personality, otherwise he would not be such a good friend with me."
"I look at Jordan very accurately, Richard is a good person..."
Maybe Jordan couldn't blow it anymore, so he stopped here.
A bunch of reporters have vomited in their hearts, but can you go, Richard has a good personality? !
Okay you little mushroom...
This product is generally known as a maniac. As a head coach, he can fight against people on the court.
And do you look right in Jordan? Are you really kidding...
Watching the reporters roll their eyes, Jordan smiled embarrassingly, and accidentally blew a bit too much.
...
A long beep sounded over the arena, heralding that the game was about to start.
The starting lineup of both sides came on stage. In the referee's whistle, the All-Star game officially began.
Western O'Neal jumped the ball and got the first ball.
Then Byron Davis assisted Kobe and scored a CIC.
In the offensive round in the east, after McGrady drew the ball to the frontcourt, he directly pulled out, but the result was an iron hit, and the rebound was snatched by Clark, who directly handed the ball to Yao Ming.
In the face of O'Neal's single defense, Yao Mingyi was not afraid, and Tian hooked his hand and scored two points.
O'Neill looks a little ugly. This is his first game with Yao Ming. Before the regular season, the Pistons hadn't played against the Lakers.
This sky hook made O'Neill feel that the Chinese kid in front of him was a little difficult.
He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hang Yao Ming well, so that every day someone would say that Yao Ming would surpass himself...
This year's All-Star vote really shocked O'Neill.
Yao Ming's votes are almost twice that of O'Neill. If the Chinese kid is in the west, he is estimated to be able to squeeze his All-Star starting position.
Thinking of playing the All-Star as a substitute, O'Neal tightened his scalp for a while.
Yao Ming's strength is good, even O'Neill has to admit it, but he feels that Yao Ming really wants to match himself, definitely being beaten.
The current All-Star game is the best chance to prove that you can hang Yao Ming!
...
To O'Neal, it hurts so much that Kobe Bryant is a madman on the west side, and he doesn't give him a shot at all.
After playing for a few minutes in the first quarter, Yao Ming got help from his teammates on the court and scored higher in the score.
On the other hand, O'Neal didn't get much offensive ball rights, that is, he grabbed an offensive rebound and played a second offense.
It can be said that no matter how powerful the center is, if he does not pass him in the backcourt, he can only become a blue-collar player.
O'Neill is in such a miserable situation at present, having a strength, but no opportunity to reveal it.
In just a few minutes, Yao Ming has already scored 10 of 5 from 8 shots.
"Doodle!"
The referee blew the suspended whistle, a substitution was made on the west side, O'Neal was replaced and replaced by Kevin Garnett.
Under normal circumstances, the MVP of the All-Star Game was taken by Garnett.
Duncan was also replaced and replaced with a big book.
What makes O'Neill feel so much pain is that after the debut of Big Ben, it seems like a wandering soul, it is too obvious to put Yao Ming on the water...
Yao Ming again cut the quarter.
Richard also made substitutions here, giving other All-Stars some opportunities to perform.
In the first quarter, Yao Ming scored 14 points, and he continued to play according to this momentum. As long as the Eastern Conference wins tonight, Yao Ming is almost decisive to get the All-Star~EbookFREE.me~ Lee, do you have any plans to invest in the team ? "The second quarter of the game has already started, Jordan is too lazy to play, sitting down and chatting with Richard.
"Huh? Michael, why ask this?" Richard frowned and looked at Jordan.
"My shares in the Wizards have now been sold out, and it is estimated that I will retire completely after this season."
"But I am still reluctant to play in this arena. If possible, I want to build a team."
Richard was shocked, wouldn't Jordan get any inside information?
Is it difficult to say that the Charlotte Bobcats are now starting to form?
The owner of Charlotte Bobcats was naturally not Jordan, he later bought shares.
The formation of the Bobcats is also quite interesting. Their boss is named Robert Johnson and is a black man.
The reason why he was chosen to build the 30th team in the NBA was completely forced by public opinion pressure.
At present, the bosses of the 29 teams in the league have no black people...
To know that in the NBA league, black people are the absolute protagonist, but there is no black man in the boss, it is inevitable that people doubt whether the NBA league has racial discrimination.
Under such circumstances, the Alliance Management Committee chose Johnson to create Charlotte Bobcats.
"Michael, what do you know?" Richard asked with his eyes wide open.
Jordan nodded, "Yes, I did get the news that the NBA will expand its troops. The location of this expansion is in Charlotte."
"However, the expansion of the military will definitely take a lot of time. It is estimated that the news will be released in the following year."
Richard was shocked, and it was Charlotte Bobcats.
