basketball forever

Chapter 59 I'm back!

In the summer of 01, across the ocean.

During the NBA offseason, each team began to make reinforcements for the new season.

After fishing in the draft, everyone focused on the free agent market.

Each team has its own recruitment plan.

The defending champion Lakers offseason is to find better fresh blood while keeping the current lineup.

Champions don't need to change much.

They made small adjustments.

Among them, the former Bulls veterans Grant and Ron Harper, who once again realized their championship dream with the Lakers last season, have other ideas.

Ron Harper chose to retire.

Grant, on the other hand, chose the Magic team's contract, and finally got a wave of money.

This is the last NBA money he can eat before retiring.

The Bulls and Lakers have almost won the championship. It is time to make money and think about the future.

Without these two important role players, the Lakers will naturally have to make signings.

After all, it is a championship team, and their signings are very attractive to many players.

They got the Spurs' blue-collar warrior Samaki Walker very easily.

In the new season, relying on the core pair of the OK combination, the Lakers are still the object of fear in the entire league.

...

Other teams have plans of their own.

For example, the New Jersey Nets, which failed last season, have big money.

Jason Kidd!

Stephon Marbury was traded.

They got the opposing point guard, Jason Kidd, from the Suns.

In this way, the Nets set up their own heart four: Kenyon Martin, Jason Kidd, Keith Van Horn, Corey Kiddles!

The Nets performed extremely poorly last season, only the fourth worst in the Eastern Conference.

In the new season, with the addition of Jason Kidd, their strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the eyes of experts, the Nets have the strength of the playoffs in the new season, and even the top four in the Eastern Conference.

……

The teams are intensively preparing for the new season, but a major event has brought a major blow to these preparations.

……

On this day in September, a black cloud of smoke enveloped the streets and alleys of the beautiful country.

Pretty Countryman suffered a day of fear.

In the past, the free and easy way of talking has been replaced by silence starting today.

Nightmares!

It seems like everyone is haunted by nightmares.

Fear appeared not only in sleep, but even in their daily lives.

Boundless black enveloped the skies over many cities, and enveloped their hearts.

Who can open the shackles in their hearts?
Who can stand up and save the beautiful country like a superhero in a movie?
No one knows.

The beautiful people just prayed day and night, praying for the emergence of superheroes.

It was also at this time, when hundreds of millions of beautiful Chinese people prayed devoutly, this superhero really appeared.

.

September 9th, Pretty Country, Washington!
The home court of the Wizards, the MCI Center Arena, and the conference hall.

It's full of people here today.

In this spacious hall, hundreds of media people were crowded.

The big red conspicuous banners hanging on the venue made people think endlessly.

"Michael Jordan Press Conference"

Why a Michael Jordan press conference?Instead of the Wizards press conference?
Many people started whispering.

"There were rumors during the offseason that Michael Jordan was coming back. Is it true?"

"In the face of disaster, we need a hero to stand up. Will Michael Jordan be that person today?"

"The president seems to have talked with Michael. The NBA president and the team owners spontaneously asked Michael to come back to save the depressed market. I think, today, Michael should really make a big move."

When the scene was full of discussions, the roar of cars suddenly appeared.

Boom boom~
coming!

An imposing golden Hummer broke in.

Kacha~
The door is open!
Michael Jordan got out of the car with a heavy heart.

Everyone has seen that Michael Jordan is wearing a sports jacket and sneakers on his feet.Michael Jordan is no longer in the state of being fat before, and his face is obviously a little skinny and a little 'haggard'.

Is this haggard for state affairs, or has the training yielded results?

Click ~ click ~ click ~
No matter how many, the reporters on the scene were all output, and countless flashlights were lit.

Here, there will only be one focus, and that is everyone's god, Michael Jordan!

After beckoning, Michael Jordan walked slowly to the interview booth.

Even when he sat down, Jordan looked preoccupied.

But all kinds of long guns and short guns came up immediately.

"Michael, are you ready to come back?"

"Michael, the whole world needs you right now!"

"Michael, are you preparing for today's press conference..."

However, Jordan did not give everyone the opportunity to interview questions.

The security guards directly blocked these long guns and short guns.

After a while, Jordan finally picked up the microphone slowly, and said in a low tone:
"Dear compatriots, today, here, my mood is very low."

As soon as Jordan's words came out, the scene immediately fell silent.

Jordan's mood is low, who can't see it?

It's not just him, but everyone in the beautiful country is like this now.

But why did Jordan say this?These will not save the beautiful country.

What will he say next? ,

Everyone waited quietly.

At this time, Jordan pursed his lips, exhaled, and finally summoned up his courage, and said:

"These days, some unsavory things have happened in our family. Those criminal lawbreakers have hurt our people and created a huge panic..."

These are exactly what the pretty Chinese have been worrying about lately.They were all afraid that they would come to the place where they were tomorrow.

At this moment, Jordan suddenly raised his volume.

"However, this shouldn't bring us down!"

"We beautiful Chinese people are strong, even in the face of such and such adversity, we can survive!  …"

Jordan's words were like a booster, which brought a lot of comfort to everyone present.

However, this seems to be not enough.

When everyone was about the same emotionally, Jordan finally announced.

"Today, here, I have something important to tell you. You may have guessed it, and you should have guessed it a few months ago. Yes, that's right! What I want to announce today is:"

It's coming, it's really coming, Jordan is really going to say it!

Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.

Everyone pricked up their ears, stretched their guns and short cannons, and looked forward to it!

In the midst of all the attention, Jordan said with certainty:

"I'm back!"

I'm back!

These few simple words made countless beautiful Chinese people who watched the live broadcast on the spot and in front of the TV excited and encouraged.

Almost as expected, the scene went crazy all of a sudden.

"yeah!!!"

"Ooooooo!!!!"

There were all kinds of shouts and shouts at the scene.

At this moment, there is nothing better than shouting to express your inner emotions.

All over the world, hundreds of millions of fans and friends in front of the TV are naturally crazy.

"Oh Mygold!!! The basketball god is back!!!"

"Welcome back, our god!"

"Starting today, Michael is my savior!"

"Our life has since then had the light of hope again."
