Think about the matchup between Kobe Bryant and Lamar, the brightest stars in the East and West, how strong the reaction will be among the fans, and how much benefit the league will get.

But now, with Lamar announcing his withdrawal from the star selection competition, Stern's little calculations have all failed. If he had a gun in his hand at this time, he would have shot Lamar in the head without hesitation.

"Go and stop him from leaving, don't you know how much we'll lose if he leaves at this time?" Stern reacted with a thunderous rage and roared at the staff around him.

Although the staff was afraid of Stern's might, they all knew very well at this time: convincing Lamar to stay, that Jane was really harder than ascending to the sky!

Now that the child is still in the hospital, I don't know if he is alive or dead, and you can't force people to be difficult even if your brain is in *, right? Who doesn't have a difficult scripture to read!

Besides, Lamar's temperament, where will he listen to their persuasion? If he really provokes Lamar, it is estimated that it is possible to swing his fist.

Seeing the staff standing there silently and motionless, Stern was annoyed again. He also knew that it would be difficult to convince Lamar, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to go. He had no choice but to go out in person, David Stern left the VIP table angrily, and rushed to the locker room where Lamar was as soon as possible.

At this time, Lamar had already changed his clothes and was on the phone with his agent, Fogkel. As early as Lamar was back in the dressing room, the empathetic Falker went to prepare the car and waited.

When Falker learned that Lamar had decided to withdraw from the All-Star Game, it was difficult to accept it at first, and he went to great lengths to become Lamar's agent in order to get more out of Lamar's body. For this reason, he also terminated the agent contract with several of his signed players.

But after successfully signing Lamar, he realized that things were far from going as smoothly as he thought, and except for some endorsement contracts that had to be accepted, Lamar almost decided to accept all commercial endorsement activities. So far, apart from a few world-renowned brands, he has received very little from Lamar.

Originally, the All-Star Game was Lamar's best chance to continue to expand his influence in the world, although there were many fewer endorsements and sponsors, but as long as he was famous, could he still have less money?

But now Lamar actually told him that he was going to withdraw from the Star Race, and Faulkel, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't accept it.

"No! Lamar! You can't do that, you can't do it anyway! I don't know what's going on with you right now, but you can't quit the All-Star Game anyway. ”

Lamar didn't expect Fawker's reaction to be so strong, although Falker is very utilitarian, but it's still good for him, at least many of the things he commanded Falker did properly.

So Lamar also quickly explained: "Falker, I know what you said. Big but now I have to go to the hospital, you have to get everything in order for me!Compared to basketball, my family is what I care about the most!Now Leon has a fever, a fever!Do you know what that means?It could be **!"

"Ahh Falker also knew the priority of the matter, and rushed to the parking lot as soon as he learned what had happened.

As soon as Falker left, Stern's group came in.

As soon as Lamar saw them, he didn't have to think about what they were here for.

Jonathan stood beside Lamar, and he could hear the conversation between the two men clearly. Seeing that Stern came over with a group of people at this time, he also realized that something was going to happen, so he quickly found an excuse to go to Falkel. Jonathan gave up space to Lamar and Stern.

What has been decided, Lamar will not change no matter what, so he looked at Stern and the group with cold eyes: "Are you also here to persuade me to calm down?"

Although Stern and Lamar have been entangled for a long time, there are still only a handful of opportunities for the two to meet each other like this. He didn't know what to say for a while when he heard Lamar's question, but after all, after so many years of rolling in the upper class, Stern's psychological quality was surprisingly good.

"Lamar, to be honest, you're so reckless, I know young people like you have some of these times, but I'm going to say it anyway. Stern tried to organize his words, but was interrupted by Lamar.

"No need, Mr. Stern. I know what you want to say, but please also understand the current mood of a father! It's not that I don't want to participate in the next All-Star Game, but I also have no choice, Leon is in the hospital now, and I can't leave him alone to continue playing. Lamar didn't just say anything to chase people away, but forced himself to explain with the impatience in his heart.

Stern was interrupted by Lamar, but he was relieved after listening to Lamar's explanation, at least Lamar didn't mean to miss the game.

At this time, Stern is also very conflicted, on the one hand, he must not be unkind, and the league must also show a human side, and on the other hand, whether this year's All-Star Game can be the most successful in history, Lamar is the key figure.

"Isn't there any other way? Isn't Vanessa with the kids? Basketball is like this in your heart?" Since he couldn't convince him, Stern simply resorted to the last resort: "Don't you players always say that basketball is your life?"

"I said basketball was important to me, but now Vanessa and Leon are more important to me! I've decided to quit this year's All-Star Game, and I don't want to say anything else, and now I'm going to the hospital. ”

"But what's the use of you going to the hospital now? If Leon really gets **, he will definitely be isolated, and you won't be able to see them when you go to the hospital! And the best hospital for treatment ** is in New York, and now I'm afraid that even the last flight has flown away. Since you won't be able to see Vanessa and Leon today anyway, what's the difficulty for you to participate in tomorrow's game? Why don't I arrange for my private jet to take you and Vanessa directly to the hospital in New York after the game?

Before Lamar could say anything, Jonathan, who rushed back, rushed back and said to Lamar: "Falker just went to communicate with Mr. Dolan and asked Mr. Dolan to lend us his private plane!"

For Jonathan, it doesn't matter to him whether Lamar is in the All-Star Game or not, he just wants to see Lamar and Vanessa meet as soon as possible, and then take Leon back to New York for the best treatment.

When Lamar heard this, he shrugged at Stern: "Is there any problem now?"

Stern wanted to scold angrily, but at this time he couldn't scold even if he wanted to. Because several journalists have already broken through the security cordon and broken into the locker room.

In front of the camera, Stern has always paid attention to his own image. Seeing that persuasion was useless, Stern had to play an official tone again.

"According to the rules of the league, it is the obligation of every player to participate in the All-Star Game, and if you do not fulfill this obligation, the league has the right to punish you!"

"Whatever you want!" Lamar was also annoyed by Stern's unkind approach.

Packing up his things, Lamar turned back to Jonathan and said, "I'm ready, let's go!"

"Of course! Mr. Falkel told me just now that Mr. Dolan has sent someone to contact the plane, and we will be in New York soon!"

After walking out of the locker room, Lamar saw that the house was already crowded with reporters.

"Say sorry to me and the fans! Forget it! You all know I'm a willful guy anyway, just don't forget to tell them that next year I'll make up all the money I owe this year!"

Lamar decided to withdraw from this year's Star Game, although his reasons were very good, and Leon's unfortunate infection of ** was not concealed in the end, and fans prayed for Leon while feeling a wave of dissatisfaction with Lamar's hasty decision to withdraw from the All-Star Game.

Although Lamar played very well in the two individual competitions and won the championship one after another, what people pay more attention to is Lamar's performance in the main competition than the individual competitions.

In particular, the peak matchup between Lamar and Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett is also the focus of attention. Of course, the battle between Lamar and Kobe Bryant is also a good gimmick.

In the previous single competition, Lamar had already defeated Kobe Bryant in the Slam Dunk contest, but those fans who like Lamar still hope to see him defeat Kobe Bryant face-to-face in the main game to achieve comprehensive suppression.

It was these expectations and wishes that were now all illusory with Lamar's withdrawal. Without the league's most talked-about player today, Lamar, this All-Star Game will also be much more disgraced.

On the plane to New York, Lamar kept singing "Nervous" in his heart. Unfortunately, Leon has been confirmed in Atlanta and was supposed to be treated in isolation in Atlanta, but Lamar still used his connections to decide to go to New York. After all, New York, as the largest city in the United States, is definitely not comparable to Atlanta in terms of medical resources.

Although he had just learned from a doctor in Atlanta, he knew that the chances of a cure were now very high. It's just that I don't know why, looking at Leon who was still having a fever in his arms and humming all the time, Lamar's mood became more and more nervous, for fear that Leon would lose his movement in his hands, and this feeling made him restless.
