I'm really good at shooting.

He has been to China many times and knows the temper of Chinese fans. If he really does this, it will only make the NBA disappear from the Chinese market very quickly.

After taking away Mosaic, he finally made a choice: put some restrictions on the votes of fans in China.

These restrictions are also fan screening, allowing those fans with spending power to have voting rights.

After screening like this, kill two birds with one stone.

He secretly notified the relevant thoughts to all parties, which can be regarded as calming the temper of those people temporarily.

But soon, he received an unexpected call.

The man who called was Jordan.

"David, you can't do that, we need equality, if you do that, it will feel discriminatory."

Jordan is black, he is very sensitive to those two words.

Especially when Stern treats Chinese fans so alone, as long as someone adds a little bit of embellishment, the situation will develop in a very unfavorable direction.

Although Jordan's vision is not very good when looking at people, he is still very accurate when looking at things.

After all, his status has gone far beyond the concept of a player.

"It's a compromise, we have to do that."

Stern also knew Jordan's concerns, but his procrastination tactics had reached the limit, and he had to make a choice.

"Then make that requirement for voting everywhere, there's no need to do it individually just because there are more fans there."

Jordan made his point.

Stern had no word on Jordan.

The economic conditions of each country are different. If he does that, he will directly lose the markets in Africa and South America.

That is contrary to his global strategy.

The two of them didn't talk about it in the end.

Stern had feared Auerbach before, but Jordan didn't have that much influence on him.

After hanging up the phone with Stern, Jordan was in a bad mood.

He took out his cigar and continued smoking.

After thinking twice, he called his assistant and asked the latter to call the reporter and hold an impromptu press conference.

When the assistant asked what the theme of the press conference was, Jordan's answer was to talk about the upcoming All-Star Game.

Jordan wanted to talk about the All-Star Game, and he had a whim.

This can whet the appetite of the fans.

Jordan called in the morning, and when he arrived at night, the scene was already pitch black.

When talking about the All-Star Game, Jordan really talked about the All-Star Game.

"It looks like I, an old guy, will still be the All-Star starter."

As soon as Jordan opened his mouth, he knew it was an old hooligan, pretending to be invisible.

"But I know that I am already at this age, and occasions like the All-Star Game are still reserved for young people."

However, Jordan's next words caused a lot of discussion below.

Because look, is Jordan thinking about not playing in the All-Star Game?

Otherwise, there is no need for Jordan to hold an impromptu press conference!

"Are you going to quit?"

Immediately there are reporters asking questions.

And the other reporters also looked at him in unison.

This question is very important!

If Jordan withdraws, this year's All-Star Game will lose a lot of highlights.

After all, this is Jordan's first year back, and no one knows how long Jordan will play.

Many comeback stars chose to retire after playing for a year.

After all, even if Jordan is the god of basketball, he is already 38 years old. To be precise, it should be said that he will be 39 years old in more than a month.

So if Jordan wants to quit, no one knows whether he can continue to see him in the All-Star Game!

"Exit? No no."

Fortunately, Jordan quickly gave them a big reassurance.

"I would play, if I hadn't been injured, of course no one wants that to happen."

Jordan's next words made the reporters laugh with relief.

"What I mean is that I will control my playing time, which is about 11 minutes. On such a stage, it is enough for me to have that time."

But what Jordan said next made them stop smiling.

Although what Jordan said is understandable, fans always hope that he can see him more on the All-Star stage.

Jordan went on to talk a lot about the All-Stars, and he seemed really bored and wanted to chat with reporters.

The reporters were also happy to hear it.

When the press conference was almost over, at this moment, Jordan suddenly started talking about why he came back.

"I heard a lot of people say that there are many reasons for my comeback, and those did affect me, but it was a little guy who made me want to come back."

With just this one sentence, the distracted attention of the reporters was suddenly taken back.

In their understanding, Jordan's comeback was his own desire to come back, and the [-]/[-] incident was the final weight for him to make a decision.

But I didn't expect that there was something else hidden in it?

"Last year, a little guy made a bet with me on whether he could get the best rookie. If he wins, I will come back. You can also see that Michael, who always wins every bet, lost this time."

Under the eyes of all the reporters, Jordan spoke with eloquence.

What he said made the reporters' heads move.

And soon, the reporters knew who the little guy was.

Last year's best rookie was Sun Hao!

Seeing the voices of the reporters whispering, Jordan knew that his goal had been achieved.

"You all know that little guy, Sun is the reason I came back in the first place, he's a funny little guy."

Jordan's next words are even more direct.

It's a pity that the reporters in the audience are all Americans, and they can't even say a word.

But compared with the previous innocuous chats, this is definitely an explosive news.

Because of Jordan's comeback, it has something to do with Sun Hao!

According to the inverse proposition in mathematics, if Sun Hao didn't make this bet with Jordan, Jordan would not come back!

In other words, they were able to see Jordan because of Sun Hao!

If the degree of favorability is to be displayed numerically, and the full score is 100, Sun Hao was probably around 70-80 in their minds before.

But after Jordan said this sentence, most of the favorability has directly soared to more than 90 or even 100!

Chapter 234 251 million votes!

During the press conference, it was the reporters in the audience who bombed.

When the news play ended, the entire basketball circle was blown up.

"I'm sorry, I don't think there is any problem with Sun being the All-Star ticket king!"

"This time I fully support Sun as the ticket king, and no one can speak well!"

"If Sun is not the vote king this year, I will be in a hurry with him!"

……

In the American forums, the fans' attitude has changed by 180°.

Jordan did not mention a single word to canvass for Sun Hao at the press conference, but what he said was more effective than a hundred or even a thousand sentences.

Because Jordan is the youth of almost all fans!

It was Sun Hao who gave them the opportunity to relive their youth!

Stern was dumbfounded when he saw the news at night.

He couldn't tell whether Jordan was telling the truth, or he was just trying to confront him, or he was trying to win over Sun Hao.

Because every possibility exists.

It may not even be just one, but several possibilities mixed together.

But no matter what the reason is, what Jordan said at the press conference has completely changed the current direction of public opinion.

Although it made him uncomfortable, it had already helped him solve the predicament in front of him.

At least this year he won't have such troubles anymore, and it will be next year.

Thinking of this, he called Jordan back and said some words of thanks to him.

A man can bend and stretch, otherwise he would not have been able to knock on the door of the Chinese market.

Sun Hao was a little confused when he saw the news.

Although Jordan is just telling the truth, but doing this kind of thing at this time point, it is difficult for him not to have a good impression of Jordan.

Not to mention anything else, when his contract with Adi expires, he will have to struggle for a while.

The time came to mid-January, and the results of the All-Star voting were hotly released.

Eastern Conference starters: Iverson, Jordan, Carter, Antoine Walker, Yao Ming.

Carter won the Eastern Conference vote for the third consecutive year with 150 million votes.

Yao Ming's final vote count was fixed at 110 million votes, and he also successfully became the All-Star starter in his rookie season.

And he also has a reason to be selected. In addition to the background of Chinese players, he has averaged 14.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game so far this season, which is also among the best centers in the Eastern Conference.

Jordan got 105 million votes, and as he said, he became an All-Star starter as soon as he came back.

And he averaged 23.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Although his shooting percentage is lower than his career average, his selection is not just about feelings.

Not to mention that under the leadership of him and Yao Ming, the Wizards are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference and have great hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Western starters: Sun Hao, Kobe, Nowitzki, Garnett, O'Neal.

Nowitzki finally got 90 votes, beating Garnett by 5 votes and ranking first in the Western Conference forward list.

Bryant and O'Neal received 123 million and 127 million votes, respectively.

The two add up to exactly 250 million votes.

Then, Sun Hao's final vote count was... 251 million votes!

No more, no less, exactly 1 more votes than the OK combination combined.

Moreover, his voting result also broke Jordan's previous record of 245 million votes!

This result was expected, and even many fans are ready to complain.

But because of Jordan's press conference, there was a burst of cheers on the forum.

Basketball is a matter of sophistication, and it was fully demonstrated in this incident.

Of course, nothing can please everyone.

After the results of this vote came out, Popovich expressed his dissatisfaction in his own way.

"You're telling me Tim Duncan isn't the All-Star starter in the Western Conference?"

Popovich expressed his dissatisfaction in front of the media with an extremely ironic discourse.
