NBA: This Center Is So Stable
Chapter 155
The first time, the last time, the last time.
Chapter 155 Crazy Gambler
Amid the shocked onlookers of the media, Jordan and Wang Song stood on the court.
If the end of this All-Star Game is a mid-season summary of this season for many fans and media.
Then this one-on-one match is about the inheritance of the successor of the NBA in the new century after Jordan’s retirement.
The crowd that had been leaving the exit one after another stopped when they heard the unusual movement on the court. Looking back, there were many celebrities who came to watch the All-Star Game, as well as retired stars like Bird, and All-Star members who had just finished the main game.
Seeing Jordan standing opposite Wang Song on the court, there was a commotion at the scene.
“Wait, is that guy Michael? How come he stood on the court with AMVP after the game?”
“He looked like he was going to duel. Is this the Easter egg show after the All-Star Game? Fortunately, I left late. The ticket was worth it!”
“That Asian guy just won the All-Star Most Valuable Player. His strength in the interior is definitely the first echelon, but Jordan has retired. Can he still maintain his competitive form?”
“I understand. Last season’s All-Star was a hammer’s last dance. This is Jordan’s last dance. Even though he has retired for more than half a year, the guy’s strong body reveals that he is still in competitive form.”
···
In the stands.
The restless crowd attracted the attention of two female stars who were about to leave. Scarlett and Angelina looked over curiously. Listening to the discussions around them, they roughly understood the current situation on the court.
“Look at your boyfriend’s restless heart. He just broke Jordan’s All-Star scoring record, and he can’t wait to challenge this retired old man.”
For Angelina, the God of Basketball is an idol she has watched all the way since the 1990s. It has to be admitted that MJ’s promotion of basketball influence has a cross-era significance.
But now Jordan, full of fighting spirit, stands on the court, staring at this rookie from 20 years later, with no carelessness in his eyes.
“I feel that there is no benefit for Wang to win the game? People will only say that he is bullying a retired old man!”
Scarlett looked at the Knicks rookie with some concern.
“Lovely and simple sister Scarlett Johansson, do you want your ideal young man to win or lose?”
Faced with Angelina’s joke, Scarlett looked solemn and ignored it.
From the perspective of fans, I don’t know what the two bets are. Wang Song, who just won the AMVP honor, and Jordan have no benefit in a one-on-one duel.
Winning against retired MJ is not a very respectable thing for Wang Song, whose popularity has just reached its peak. When the outside world has no clear understanding of Jordan’s strength, it can only mean that Jordan is already old.
And if he loses to retired Jordan, even if the opponent is the god of basketball, it will have a certain impact on his reputation.
Especially in a one-on-one game that focuses on personal ability, even if Wang Song has just got the same scoring record as Chamberlain, he is likely to be criticized as a system player.
Also standing on the sidelines was Bird, who walked to the commentary booth and watched this SOLO game with Barkley and Kenny Smith.
“Kenny, why do you think that kid is so desperate that he wants to challenge a retired old guy at this time?”
“Of course! He won the MVP in the All-Star Game, and it’s time to challenge Jordan to stimulate the popularity. It just so happens that the Asian kid’s new shoes are about to be released recently, so I’ll treat it as free post-game promotion!”
“Who told you that Wang Song approached Jordan?”
Bird’s surprised eyes made the two of them look puzzled.
“That guy bet me 1 million yuan and said he could beat the Asian kid in a 1-on-1 situation.”
Kenny Smith and Barkley were stunned!
Bird was a little puzzled before, how did Wang Song accept Jordan’s invitation, and he suddenly realized it when he heard from Kenny Smith that Wang Song’s new shoes were about to be released.
The Asian kid wanted to use Jordan’s AJ to complete the first round of promotion, while Jordan wanted to find a place from this once-popular Knicks rookie. It can be said that each got what he needed.
The three of them were chatting, and suddenly saw Jordan waving over here, and Big Bird suddenly remembered that he had to be the referee on the spot.
······
“Shorty starts!”
Wang Song handed the ball to Jordan and put his hands on his knees.
Seeing the young man’s indifferent expression and taking the initiative to give up the opening ball, Jordan couldn’t help but feel curious.
Was the other party pretending to be calm or was he really calm about the 5 million yuan bet?
“Change the shot?”
Bird tentatively asked Wang Song for his opinion, because he knew that for a guy like the old rogue who had an extremely stable basket, the continuous shot was just a way to accumulate the feel, and it was very likely that he would take the game away in one wave.
“Continuous shot!”
Wang Song’s firm voice made Bird hear Jordan’s speech for a while.
Jordan also raised his eyebrows, with interest on his face.
“Yellow boy, you have to think clearly, you let me open the ball, and you chose the continuous shot. You should understand that this singles match is not a game. You can’t cheat when the 5 balls arrive.”
Bird on the side was confused.
Wang Song glanced at Jordan calmly, and the other party seemed to be a little worried that he could not afford the bet.
From the NCAA endorsement of New Fox Sports to signing Anta after entering the NBA, and the recent signing of Coca-Cola, Wang Song only had time to spend money, not enough money.
However, judging from Jordan’s reaction, it seems that Falk’s professional ethics are higher than he thought, and he didn’t tell Jordan about these endorsements.
“Lianfa, you kick off first, and the bet will be settled after the game!”
Bird, who was still testing the sensitivity of the whistle, was suddenly interrupted by the huge amount of information contained in Wang Song’s brief words, and the chaotic information began to be sorted out in his mind.
Wang Song just mentioned the word bet, which means that the two of them have a bet in this game, and this bet may not be paid by Wang Song in one lump sum.
Thinking of this, Bird breathed a sigh of relief, and the result was clear!
Gambler MJ not only opened a bet with himself off the court, but also bet with his opponent, and it sounded like a huge amount.
Bird didn’t ask in detail, but a little sweat overflowed from the palm of his hand holding the whistle.
Why does this temporary referee feel like he has the power of life and death? Whether it is a player or a team manager, Bird is experienced, but he is not an experienced referee in officiating after all.
Jordan looked stern. Although Wang Song’s answer was somewhat unexpected, he did not doubt Wang Song’s confident tone.
If it was settled immediately, it would not be a small amount even for Jordan.
The two were speechless.
With Bird’s whistle, the game began in the highly anticipated Staples Center.
After washing the ball, Jordan chose the most stable and best way to start the game.
After a series of probing steps, he suddenly broke through with a cross step. He was about to break into the basket and make a layup, but Wang Song’s reaction quickly blocked the breakthrough route in advance. The experienced Jordan turned to a steady mid-range shot.
The ball bounced twice on the basket and passed through the net.
1:0!
