NBA: This Center Is So Stable
Chapter 157
The first time that the fans in the stadium stayed in the stadium after the game, they did not leave.
Instead, they were enjoying the post-game show at the game site!
If the All-Star program list was not arranged by Stern himself, I am afraid that even he would start to suspect that the one-on-one match between Wang Song and Jordan was an additional item.
“Mr. Stern, do you want to persuade the fans at the scene to leave first?”
Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, the assistant to the president beside him asked without thinking.
“Hmm? Persuade him to leave? The fans bought tickets to support us, are you going to persuade God to leave the stadium?”
The assistant looked embarrassed, looking at the situation on the court with a complicated expression.
“Sir, according to the current situation, MJ will be embarrassed.”
1:4!
The temporary scoreboard on the side clearly showed the current record of both sides on the court.
Stern narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Wang Song who got the match point.
“Embarrassed? If you are afraid of embarrassment, then Michael should not provoke that Asian boy, let him embarrass himself in front of the public, so that he will not be so arrogant to the league.”
Stern certainly knew what the assistant was referring to. It was nothing more than that even if Jordan retired, he was once the face of the league. If he lost to a rookie in a one-on-one match, it would affect the reputation of the NBA to a certain extent.
But in Stern’s view, it was exactly the opposite.
For the NBA, this would not only not damage its reputation, but would be an opportunity.
An opportunity to support a new image spokesperson!
If the NBA can let an Asian player serve as the young generation of the league, the NBA’s market in Asia will be more smoothly developed.
So for Stern, his expectation for this game is that Jordan, the outdated spokesperson, loses, which is what he likes to see.
On the court.
Wang Song, holding the match point, slowly hit the ball. He looked at the nervous Jordan in front of him and moved his toes slightly to test the defensive center of gravity of the defender.
For Jordan, this offensive round was undoubtedly tormenting.
The oxygen in the air became thinner, and Jordan’s breathing speed increased.
It was not easy for Jordan to play this high-intensity 1-on-1 after nearly a year. Before he went on the court, he expected to take the game away in one wave.
For him, the longer the time dragged on, the greater the impact on physical strength, and the less advantage he had.
In this one-on-one match, there was no offensive time limit.
The Asian boy in front of him suddenly slowed down, leaving Jordan a little confused.
“Mr. 4 million, have you caught your breath?”
The faint smile on Wang Song’s lips was a disdain for Jordan.
The opponent actually took the initiative to press the pause button to let himself recover his strength.
“Come on, kid, don’t talk so much nonsense. I’m not an old grandfather in his seventies or eighties. I don’t need to recover. When I defend this ball, this game will return to my rhythm.”
Seeing that the other party didn’t appreciate it, Wang Song raised his eyebrows.
He is really worthy of being the GOAT. Even if he is about to give away 4 million, he still maintains such a graceful demeanor.
Then he can only let his stubbornness become Jordan’s last dignity!
Go for the ball!
Attack the front foot and break through.
Jordan quickly retreated to the basket, but the opponent suddenly stopped at a mid-range position and shot directly.
This ball was not disturbed by anything.
Mid-range shot?
Even Jordan was stunned for a moment. This Asian kid showed his shooting ability in a one-on-one match for the first time.
If Jordan had no chance to fight back in the first four shots under the basket, then at least for this mid-range shot, he could pin his hopes on the opponent’s poor touch.
The ball bounced twice on the basket as if torturing Jordan on purpose.
Then it turned three times on the basket.
Jordan jumped twice in a hurry under the basket to get the rebound, but this ball seemed to be a punishment for his impatience.
Swish!
Jordan didn’t react until the ball finally passed through the net and hit the bald head.
His face was expressionless!
It seemed that everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
“Oh my god, Michael, I said you should change your hair. If you change your hair, I think that Asian kid won’t be able to defend you, and you might still have a chance to win.”
After Bird blew a long whistle, he looked at Jordan with regret.
Although his expression looked a little sad, Bird couldn’t hide the joy revealed by the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Who wouldn’t be happy with 1 million yuan in the account?
Silence in the stands
It was a wake-up call.
They looked at the lost Jordan, and their emotions were also infected by this legendary star.
Few fans who came to watch the All-Star Game hated MJ. His experience in creating a dynasty made this man highly praised in the league and attracted many passers-by.
The silence was broken by Scarlett’s scream.
“Yeah, great Angelina, we won!”
“We? I didn’t say who I supported.”
Angelina quickly covered Scarlett’s mouth, and the atmosphere in the fans’ seats didn’t look good.
But the next second, with Scarlett’s broken voice, the whole stadium was boiling.
The celebration sounded like a tsunami, and the shouts came one after another.
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
···
Jordan’s fans are indeed many, and it can even be said that there are quite a lot of them.
But today is the All-Star Game, and the player who played against Jordan was the All-Star vote king. 90% of the fans bought tickets just to see Wang Song, the Asian rookie, beat his opponent, or be beaten by their favorite star.
Apart from the antagonistic relationship between the stars, it is hard to hate this big rookie from China.
With solid basic skills, explosive style of play, and few black materials off the court, it can be said that he has all the qualities that a high-quality idol should have. Compared with Jordan’s life on the team and off the court, Wang Song is simply a white moonlight.
Especially since he is just a rookie, he can accompany the fans for a long time.
For every fan who hates Wang Song, there will be 10 who like him.
So when Wang Song won, the silence of the fans was just because the victory of this one-on-one match came too quickly, and some of them did not react.
The cheers on the scene tore off Jordan’s last protective shield, and he walked to Wang Song calmly and stretched out his palm.
“Congratulations, Asian boy! You are the first player to earn 4 million from me. It seems that I still haven’t taken off my tinted glasses to look at you. I paid the price for underestimating you.”
When Bird heard this, he looked at Jordan slightly.
It’s hard to get Jordan to say this kind of recognition from his mouth… It’s harder than defeating him on the court!
You have to know that this guy was a bully when he was a player. He bullied rookies, formed cliques in the locker room, and forced the coaching staff and management to do all kinds of evil!
“MJ, no one will deny your greatness!”
Listening to Jordan’s heartfelt words and his painful expression, Wang Song stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
“But greatness is not eternal. The NBA in the 21st century is destined to belong to newcomers. Old people like you will be erased by later generations. You have to get used to it.”
Jordan’s face twitched slightly.
This was a rare time for him to show respect to a player, but the other party had no intention of paying the bill.
