Chapter 128 Godhead collapsed? (Today's first update)
The game between the Pistons and the Wizards has been settled, but the topic of this game is not over.

Jordan hasn't been back on the court for so long that many kids playing today haven't seen how invincible he was with the Bulls.

They only know Iverson, Kobe, Pierce...of course, and Wang Dalin.

Therefore, even though Jordan scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, his performance was already explosive, but the public's evaluation of him was unanimously pessimistic, and they all believed that he was completely defeated in the duel with Wang Dalin.

Jordan himself didn't bother to explain. His brilliant achievements have long been deeply engraved in the history of world basketball and the NBA. How could he be worried about losing a game?

But this time the situation was completely beyond his expectations, because this wave of public opinion has intensified, and even many NBA celebrities have spoken out.

"Magician" Irvin Johnson publicly said in an interview with reporters: "Of course Michael is a very great player, but everyone calls him the 'God of Basketball', which is a bit too exaggerated! He has won 6 championships, but so what? Bill Russell has won 11 times! And Michael is old now, this is an undoubted fact!"

The "Magician" was once defeated by Jordan. In order to maintain his status in the arena, he must of course hold Jordan high.If he still belittles his opponent after losing to Jordan, people will think that he is just a fake name.

But now the situation has changed a lot. More than 10 years have passed. Many new fans don't know what happened that year. They can only explore Jordan's glory from the old fans.

As the so-called "hearing is believing, seeing is believing", Jordan played well in the four games after his comeback this season, but it was far from reaching the level of invincibility in the memory of the fans, which instantly dropped a lot of his impression.

As for the "Magician"'s remarks, I don't know if he really thinks so, or he is boycotting Washington's better and better ball market for the sake of Los Angeles... The NBA has always been full of competition!
Jordan gradually couldn't sit still. He wanted to keep his ears to the outside world, but more and more negative news kept reaching his ears in the past two days, which made him upset for a while.

On November 11th, the Wizards visited Boston to challenge the Celtics.

At the pre-match press conference in the morning, Jordan strongly angered many media reporters and said: "I don't know why everyone suddenly has the impression that I am old. In the past four games, I have averaged 27.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. I would like to ask everyone, how many people in the entire league can achieve this level?"

A reporter raised his hand and laughed, "Michael, I don't know much about the others, but Darling Wang, who beat you last game, averaged 37.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the first four games. His performance is obviously better than yours!"

Jordan was stunned speechless, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "Well, I admit that Darling-Wang's performance is very good, but I hope you will open your eyes and take a good look at it tonight. I will open your eyes!"

After saying these words, Jordan walked away immediately, and the press conference was naturally a little unhappy because of his sudden departure.

It is estimated that Jordan is also full of grievances... Okay, when he accompanied me to watch the stars and the moon, he called me "Xiao Tiantian", but now that he has a new love, he dislikes me, right?Why am I not worthy of the title of "God of Basketball"?

That night, the game between the Wizards and the Celtics started first, and just half an hour later, the Pistons' away game against the Bulls also started as scheduled.

In this game, Wang Dalin's hand feeling was very bad. After failing to succeed in three consecutive attacks in the opening game, he began to come to the high position to support more.For a while, Billups, Hamilton and Robinson bloomed more, and the Pistons led by 56:41 by as much as 15 points in the first half.

At the same time, in Boston's "North Shore Garden Center" arena is another scene...

Jordan launched a fierce attack as soon as he came on the court. In the first quarter, he scored 8 points on 5 of 10 shots and beat his opponent Paul Pierce.

Helpless teammates are really not good enough, especially Stackhouse, the current No. 6 scorer in the team, has no good touch in the game at all. In the first quarter of the game, he only hit 1 goal from [-] shots, and his performance was very hip.

After the start of the second quarter, Jordan simply dropped the pass button, but his touch obviously failed to maintain. In this quarter, he only scored 8 goal in 1 shots, and his offensive efficiency was even more hip than Stackhouse.

In this quarter, Pierce finally cheered up and scored consecutively in front of Jordan. Teammate Antoine Walker was also very strong, and the two performed quite well.

Due to the poor performance of the two major scorers of the Wizards, and the "Boston Twins" of the Celtics performed well, the Wizards were already 42 points behind 50:8 at the end of the first half.

At the end of halftime, an ESPN reporter wanted to do a brief halftime interview with Jordan. Unexpectedly, Jordan walked directly into the player tunnel with a dark face and didn't even look at the beautiful reporter.

No matter how big a star is, he shouldn't offend the media, even if his name is Michael Jordan!

Just during the intermission, countless media have published articles, basically belittling Jordan, especially the beautiful ESPN reporter who was refused an interview just now. She directly reported on the spot how unreasonable Jordan is and how lackluster his performance on the court is.

For a moment, the godhood of the "God of Basketball" was on the verge of collapse, and he was about to completely fall into the mortal world in a blink of an eye.

Wang Dalin didn't know what happened in Boston. He was going all out to adjust his state. Although he sent 7 assists in the first half, his personal offense was only 7 of 2 shots.

After playing phenomenal performances in four consecutive games, especially when he just defeated the great Michael Jordan, the young Wang Dalin was naturally a little ecstatic.

But the performance of the players is like this. Whenever you play an amazing performance, the next game may fall into a trough.

You can't be at your best every game, as long as you are human, there will be ups and downs, and Wang Dalin is no exception.

就像是后世单场砍下81分的科比，他在后面几场比赛中的表现也并不好。像那种连续9场、10场砍下30+甚至40+的情况，终究是可遇而不可求的！
In the second half, Wang Dalin's touch recovered a little bit, but compared with his previous four games, his shooting percentage was still not high. In this game, he only scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

Although he won the first double-double of the new season, Wang Dalin was still not very happy. Fortunately, his teammates performed very well, so the Pistons easily defeated the Bulls, and the final score was 100:74.

On the other hand, the Wizards still couldn't escape the defeat. They lost 95:104 in Boston.

乔丹全场29投仅12中，加上罚球10投8中，最终砍下32分8篮板2助攻2抢断，不过却出现了5次失误。

After the game, Jordan refused to attend the press conference, even if he would be severely punished by the league for this... He had already released bold words before the game to open everyone's eyes, but he didn't do what he said. How would he face those reporters?
Looking at the data alone, Jordan's performance in this game is still very good. After all, it was another 30+ performance. Even in his peak period that year, he could not score more than 30 points in every game.

However, he only shot 41.4% in this game, which is a bit eye-catching. The media and fans all began to belittle Jordan, thinking that he is just a data brush now.

This kind of statement is still very marketable, because since Jordan entered the league until he retired in 1998, his career shooting percentage has remained above 50%, and even this guy's 13 playoff trips have a shooting percentage of 48.7%!

For a while, everyone began to spread such a "truth", that is-"Jordan is old, he is no longer the 'God of Basketball'!"

Seeing that this trend is intensifying, David Stern reacted immediately, and immediately arranged to play Jordan's wonderful goal highlights before each national live broadcast, trying to evoke the fond memories of Jordan in the hearts of fans.

To be honest, Stern was in a hurry!

In mid-September this year, he personally invited Jordan to come out of the mountain. This is not a fake... Facing the Great Depression in all walks of life in the United States after the "9 Incident", he is undoubtedly the person who most hopes that Jordan will come out of the mountain.

He wants to ask Jordan to save the entire NBA market, so how could he allow the ignorant media and fans to smear Jordan so much?

There is one thing to say, if Jordan's "godhead" collapses, the one who suffers the most is not Jordan himself, but the entire NBA!

Therefore, whether it is for Jordan personally or to save the entire league's football market, Stern must go all out to restore Jordan's reputation... At this moment, they are already grasshoppers on the same rope.
At the post-match press conference between the Pistons and the Bulls, a reporter asked Wang Dalin, "Darling-Wang, you just defeated Michael in the last game. What do you think of him now?"

Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said: "Michael is undoubtedly the greatest superstar in this league. There is no doubt about it. Whether it was then or now, he is the unique 'God of Basketball' in my heart!"

The reporter was obviously surprised, and then asked: "Don't you think he is old now and is no longer the best player in the league?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Mr. reporter, Michael is currently averaging 29 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game. What I want to say is that any player in the current league who can perform like Michael can be called the first-tier superstar in the league! Don't you think this performance is not worth mentioning just because he is Michael Jordan?"

After a short pause, Wang Dalin continued: "Because Michael is about to turn 39 years old, I think his performance is even more commendable. He definitely deserves the title of 'God of Basketball'!"

Wang Dalin didn't know that because of his remarks, Stern quickly noticed him, and the attention from the president was undoubtedly great news for him...
