Chapter 350 Gathering in Los Angeles

At 11 o'clock on November 14th, ESPN Los Angeles headquarters, "The Jump" program recording.

Pippen, Tracy McGrady, and Pierce sat in front of the camera on the left, center, and right, just to discuss the last topic: How is Irving's key ball ability?
Pippen took the lead in saying: "Irving's key ball genes are very good. I have a data here that shows that he has shot 22 lore shots before the age of 7, and there are also key balls against the Warriors in the 16 Finals. I have this to say. I am very envious, because I have never had key ball genes."

Pierce laughed: "Probably because you always play with the guy who shoots the best clutch shots."

That person is naturally Jordan. With Jordan around, Kerr will shoot most of the key shots. It is difficult for Pippen to turn.

Pippen held his forehead and smiled knowingly, while McGrady grabbed Pierce's arm and laughed.

McGrady went on to say: "Scott, I'm your fan. I think you have key ball genes, and you also want to shoot key balls. Remember the game in New York, you were very angry because Zen Master took the lore ball. It was given to Kukoc, and you refused to play for that."

Mentioning the dark history of the past, Pippen directly covered his face and laughed.

Pierce was overjoyed, and excitedly gave McGrady a high-five, blinked and said, "You did it beautifully."

Afterwards, the three chatted about why Irving was good at key shots, and the recording of the show ended.

The three got up to leave, but the director signaled to wait.

"What's wrong?" Maddie asked.

The director walked up to the three of them and said, "Mike Breen, Mark Jackson, and Jeff Van Gundy were originally responsible for explaining the Lakers' game against the 76ers at home tomorrow, but there are other programs in the station that need them. , I don’t know if you are interested in going to the live commentary instead of them?”

Pippen shrugged: "I'm going on vacation with Larsa, it's been arranged, sorry."

Pierce: "I can cancel the original arrangement, but I need to add money."

Hearing 'add money', the director suddenly showed embarrassment.

McGrady smiled and said, "He's joking, I have time, I can go to the scene."

Pierce also nodded with a smile, and the director smiled and said, "Then it's settled, thank you."

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Beverly Hills.

Jordan and his assistant walked out of a villa and went straight to the car.

After getting in the car, Jordan lay down and said in a low voice, "Any other arrangements?"

The assistant replied: "There is no schedule for today and tomorrow, you can spend your time freely."

After speaking, the assistant took out his mobile phone and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was indeed no arrangement, he started the car.

Jordan didn't speak, and waited for the car to drive for 2 minutes before asking:

"What advice do you have? I need to work on those areas recently?"

Since Jordan retired, through the operation of the AJ sneaker brand, Nike has earned as much as 20 billion US dollars a year. In just 16 years, he has shared a profit of 1.1 million US dollars from it, and this number will continue to grow.

In addition to the AJ brand and the identity of the owner of the Hornets, he also formed a consortium with baseball superstar Derek Jeter to complete the acquisition of the MLB Miami Marlins at a price of US$12 billion.

He has a huge business map, and he doesn't hesitate to give up his rest time to realize it gradually. The income he has gained is as high as 17 billion US dollars.

Now that he has more than one day of free time, he naturally doesn't want to waste it.

"You haven't been seen in public recently, and your search index on Google has dropped. I suggest you go to the stadium to watch the football." After careful consideration and actual inquiries, the assistant gave a suggestion.

"Charlotte?" Jordan was a little less interested, "I feel that the effect is too small, and the market itself is small."

"How about Los Angeles, tomorrow the Lakers and the 76ers will have a national live broadcast." The assistant said again.

"Los Angeles?" Jordan seemed to think of something, and sat up straight, "Kobe has been back for a while, how is he playing? Has there been any highlight performance?"

"I want to check. Siri, check Kobe's recent performance." The assistant uses Apple voice.

"Okay, I am checking Kobe's recent performance for you, and I am searching the web for you, and I will read the content of the web page for you." Siri's mechanical and cold voice came from the phone.

"The Los Angeles Lakers currently have a 14-game winning streak. Kobe Bryant has played in 11 games. He averaged 18 minutes per game and scored 41.7 points, 13.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds with a shooting rate of 2.8%. This is a good statistic. The key is only 0.8 turnovers per game, which is better than Michael Jordan's second comeback. Kobe has become an important rotation for the Lakers on the shooting guard. According to the current momentum of the Lakers, it is very likely to win the championship. In that case , Kobe will tie Michael Jordan..."

Before the Siri page was finished, Jordan couldn't help complaining: "What? Better than me? Equal to me?"

The assistant knew Jordan's competitive spirit, and besides rushing to pay the bill, he wanted to be the first in everything.

The assistant quickly turned off Siri, and explained with a smile: "This kind of article is made up by those tabloid reporters. The purpose of facing it is to deceive clicks. Your achievements are obvious to all, so don't take it to heart."

Jordan's unconvinced temperament was difficult to get rid of, he grabbed the phone, "Let me see which media is so unprofessional, I will stalk them on Twitter later."

""Sports Illustrated"?" Seeing the title on the phone's website, Jordan was stunned, it was such a big sports magazine, but after realizing it, he immediately threw away the phone, "I don't believe it, I'm going to check it out for myself tomorrow. "

Assistant: "Uh... well, I'll arrange it for you right away."

……

9 p.m., Marquee nightclub in Los Angeles.

After Iverson swayed to his heart's content, he left the dance floor and sat down to drink.

After taking two sips, feeling a little bored, he took out his phone to check Twitter.

Michael – Jordan's assistant: "[Depressed expression] [Sad expression] [Crazy expression], the boss is going to watch the Staples game tomorrow night, I want to get a courtside seat, but it's too difficult to buy, If I can’t figure it out before tomorrow’s game, I will be fired, and if you have a ticket, please contact me, and I will pay three times the price!”

The account that posted this tweet had only been registered for less than a day, and it was impossible to appear at the top of the hot topic in the NBA, but because of Leonardo and Mark Wahlberg's retweets, it instantly became popular.

The comments were mostly jokes, and Iverson didn't take it seriously, but he became interested as he read down.

McGrady: "Tell Mike we have a fantastic spot for him, @piers what do you say?"

Pierce: "Yes, we have a vacancy for a commentator, we don't mind his fatness, he is welcome to squeeze in. Also @Pippen, you gave Mike the opportunity to 'make a big shot' again. "

Pippen: "Don't talk about it, my holiday mood is gone..."

Seeing the old acquaintance chatting so happily, Iverson couldn't help retweeting:

"I want to come too, is it too late to buy tickets now?"

McGrady: "I'm afraid not, Staples tickets are as rare as Santa Claus gifts."

Iverson: "Then I'll squeeze in your commentary seats too? I'm thinner!"

Kobe: "I think it's feasible. I'll call later and ask Jim to get an extra long table."

Carter: "I also think it is feasible. I can still accompany you, but I just have a sprained foot and can't play."

Tianyang: "@Jordan@everson@红迪@戴尔斯, welcome to Los Angeles."

Jordan: "@天洋, wait for me, you boy, I hold grudges!"

Netizen: "My God! The NBA's No. 10 shooting guard and the top four shooting guards gathered in Los Angeles to watch the performance of the No. [-] shooting guard in the next ten years? Who still has tickets? I will pay [-] times the price!"
