NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 154 Jordan’s invitation

Staples!

Post-game interview.

Looking at the Asian rookie holding the trophy being interviewed by the media, Jordan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at the score displayed on the screen above his head, which was a bit dazzling.

42 points!

Not only did it tie Chamberlain’s All-Star historical scoring record, it also surpassed his second-highest 40 points in 1988.

Watching the records he created being broken, Jordan gradually began to understand where Wang Song’s courage to refuse to sign with Air Jordan came from.

“But data alone is far from enough!”

Jordan took off his coat, and his face showed a hint of arrogance.

He walked straight to Larry Bird, who was sitting not far away, and said bluntly: “Larry, today at Staples, please come as a witness.”

Big Bird couldn’t help laughing at the 40-year-old man in front of him with a hint of middle school.

MJ actually took yesterday’s bet seriously and planned to challenge the Asian boy here.

Especially today, after witnessing Wang Song’s dominant performance in the All-Star Game, Jordan still insisted on his own way.

Big Bird was somewhat impressed.

Even if Jordan broke the contract after the game, Bird would not mind at all.

But this is Jordan, who leaves no room for gambling.

This is his last chance to save face!

“At your service, Mike!”

Big Bird readily agreed and watched Jordan walk to the court.

No matter who wins or loses this singles match, it is a hundred benefits for Big Bird.

Losing is just a loss of 400,000!

More importantly, he returned the money that Jordan lost to him a few days ago.

Moreover, according to the current situation, Bird did not think that Jordan had any hope of winning in front of that young man.

······

On the court.

Wang Song, who was surrounded by the media, was being interviewed.

“Regarding tying the historical record, to be honest, I didn’t pay attention to it. At that time, I was thinking about leading the East to win a long-awaited victory. If you watched the game carefully, you should have found that my role in the first half was not high, because I am not very interested in that kind of entertaining play. Only the real swords and guns in the last quarter can make me feel the fun of basketball!”

Listening to Wang Song’s sincere words, the media was also stunned by his reasonable and well-founded words.

Indeed, as Wang Song said, he was the All-Star vote leader in the first half, and he chatted with his teammates off the court after getting 10 points.

No one would doubt that in this All-Star game, as long as Wang Song wanted, he could get 50 points or even more.

Tie the single-game scoring record may be a bonus for going all out to win!

But this matter cannot bear careful consideration, because the Chinese rookie standing in front of the media is not yet 20 years old, and he has scored the highest score of the game with a little effort. The Western All-Star inside line seems a little weak in front of him.

What if he goes all out?

Thinking of this, the media quickly changed the subject and asked about O’Neal outside the court.

“O’Neal? Actually, I have very little contact with that guy. This is even our second meeting. I didn’t attack his grandparents. I just chatted with him casually about getting along with teammates. I didn’t expect him to react like that.”

A white lotus bloomed in Staples. Wang Song’s handsome appearance and innocent tone made it impossible for the media not to believe in this rookie.

After seeing this real-time broadcast, the writer in the office even wrote a report about O’Neal.

Just when he was about to perfunctorily deal with the media, a familiar face broke into the camera.

MJ stared at Wang Song straight, no longer with the eager eyes of the first time they met, but with the desire to fight.

When Jordan initiated the one-on-one invitation, all the media turned their cameras to Jordan. This was as hot as Mars hitting the Earth, and no media wanted to miss it.

With Jordan’s tone that could not be refused, the media moved the camera back again.

“One-on-one? Give me a reason why I must fight you, otherwise even if you are MJ, I think you are very rude.”

Wang Song raised his eyebrows and looked down at Jordan.

He didn’t want to pay for Jordan’s “kind invitation”, not to mention that he had just played the All-Star Game, and he wanted to take a good rest and celebrate at the end of the All-Star Weekend.

Once again rejected by this Asian rookie, but Jordan’s facial expression did not fluctuate, and he raised his index finger

He made a sign of one, and then said calmly: “1 million!”

When this number came out, the media who were interviewing were in an uproar.

A one-on-one duel about 1 million, this topic exploded directly, and the palms of all the camera teachers began to sweat and get nervous. This one-on-one duel across time and position, once it becomes a duel, it is very likely to be recorded in the history of the NBA and become a long-lasting topic of conversation. As a media person, you will not miss this opportunity to witness history.

“1 million for a one-on-one duel? Mr. Jordan, I don’t have so much money to play this kind of game with you without suspense.”

The amount of 1 million is a huge fortune for the media workers on the scene. Many people may spend their entire lives to save this number, but now in front of Jordan, it is as casual as 100 yuan.

When Wang Song expressed his opinion again, they realized that this number is not a small amount for ordinary people, even for Wang Song.

You should know that Wang Song’s annual salary is only 4 million yuan now. In New York, after various taxes, it is estimated that he will only get a little over 200 yuan. In other words, Wang Song has to take out half a year’s salary to complete a big bet with Jordan.

Thinking of this, Wang Song’s refusal became excusable in the eyes of the media.

Just when they thought that the one-on-one storm between the two was about to pass, Jordan added: “Minimum 1 million yuan, five-ball system, the winner takes away the goal difference * 1 million yuan!”

Wang Song, who was about to turn around and leave, paused.

When he looked at Jordan again, he was no longer the disgusting old rogue, but a walking 5 million yuan!

Jordan’s words made the media have no time to react, and Wang Song’s money-loving eyes attracted their attention again.

This Asian boy, will he really accept Jordan’s challenge?

That is a bet with a maximum upper limit of 5 million yuan and a minimum lower limit of 1 million yuan, which is even crazier than Las Vegas.

Does this Asian kid, who is less than 20 years old, really have the financial resources to complete the bet… Or, is he 100% confident that he can get the money from Jordan’s pocket?

Looking at Wang Song’s burning eyes, Jordan knew that he had made the right bet.

Since the Knicks rookie made Falk reject his invitation to AJ, he knew that Wang Song’s ambition was no less than his own when he was a player.

But this impromptu offer, will the number be too huge for this Asian rookie?

Just when Jordan wanted to promise a delay in payment, the other side’s straightforward response made him almost doubt that he didn’t hear it clearly.

“I accept this one-on-one!”
