Chapter 289: I can't think of a title
Wake Forest has won 32 consecutive victories, this excitement is inevitable, and the excitement that will be stirred up a little bit has eased a little, and the Wake Forest players finally noticed that Hill has not left the field, looking at his eyes now, it is obvious that he has a private word to say to Yamada Tadashi alone, seeing this, the players of Wake Forest walked away and returned to the rest area to prepare to leave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's a good game," Hill came up and shook Yamada's hand and continued, "but we will win next time." ”
"I'll wait for you." Yamada Zhong shook vigorously, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said casually.
He took another serious look at Tadashi Yamada, and turned to walk in the direction of his teammates' departure.
"Haven't conceded defeat yet?" Looking at Tadashi Yamada, who returned to the sidelines, Mitsui smiled.
"That's interesting, isn't it?" After saying the witty words, Yamada Tadashi picked up the sports jacket on the backrest and threw it on his shoulder, "Let's go." ”
"Huh." Mitsui looked at Yamada Tada's chic back and chuckled, but why was there a hint of helplessness in this chuckle?
On the other side, the TNT live commentator was making the final wrap-up, but the usual line changed after the off-site news that arrived later: "The national audience in front of the TV, there will be a post-game press conference for the Wake Forest University Devils Deacons later, please don't walk away." Now let's move on to an ad. ”
When TNT's on-site backstage signaled that the ad had been cut, Rodman couldn't help but speak, "Hasn't that Dave in Wake Forest always disagreed with the media's influence on his little guy?" Why did you suddenly say that you would hold a post-match press conference today? ”
"Maybe he couldn't hold it back, or maybe the Jew did something big."
"You mean—" Rodman seemed to understand something.

Since Jordan suddenly announced his retirement on October 6 last year, it has been a bolt from the blue for all parties, and in a situation where ABC and ESPN had to temporarily change their broadcast plans to broadcast this sudden press conference. Jordan, who had just completed a three-peat, at the age of 31, said about the reason for his retirement: I have reached the pinnacle of basketball, and there is nothing that can arouse my passion in this arena... Although he said that he no longer had enthusiasm and attachment to the NBA arena, his red eyes clearly betrayed him. At that time, reporters questioned on the spot, repeatedly asking Jordan whether he retired completely voluntarily, and Jordan said that in addition to his NBA achievements and a sense of being overwhelmed by heights, the murder of his father was also one of the reasons.
On July 23, 1993, Jordan's father was murdered, and the body was found by the police half a month later. Green, Larry. Demery was convicted of the murderer of Jordan Sr. and sentenced to life in prison, and the saddest thing for Jordan was that the two were still diehards of the Bulls in real life. Jordan emotionally said that he retired because of his father's killing, and his diehard loyalists naturally believed in this. But after the press conference, this statement was hardly accepted by any media. Among them, "Sports Illustrated" is one of the urgent pioneers, and the national media are trying to uncover the deeper inside story behind Jordan's retirement.
In '92, a nightclub owner who was on bail was killed in his home, and the police found three checks signed by Jordan during the scene, which caused a national uproar, and his explanation at the time was: Lost at the poker table. In the spring of '92, the FBI found a check for $57,000 when arresting a drug dealer, and the drug dealer publicly stated that it belonged to Jordan, and the FBI suspected that Jordan was either a drug addict or involved in a huge amount of gambling, and finally the matter was suppressed. At the time, Jordan's gambling penchant was well known within the team and among the Bulls and reporters, but few people talked about it publicly.
After a series of criminal cases broke out, Jordan naturally became a hot topic of discussion across the country. Perhaps by coincidence, judging by the checks, the day the team was involved in gambling was precisely the day he was absent from the president's meeting with the Bulls at the White House... Then there is the all-night gambling in the division finals, the next day's iron and so on, this is not over the training session to teach teammates to Jordan's lame golf skills, and even Jordan's bald head can not escape being ridiculed by the American media.
Before the final began, a businessman wrote a book "Michael and I, Our Gambling Habits and My Requests", which broke Jordan's gambling and pickled girls, and even mentioned that Jordan owed millions of dollars... Just after the Finals, Jordan was called to the NBA headquarters before he could taste the taste of three consecutive championships. There, Stern and six other NBA executives, plus a special investigative team of justices, questioned the team for two and a half hours, after which the N.B.A. announced that they would not punish the team in any way, and that the public did not want to forgive him after the NBA officials chose to tolerate him.
Not long after, "like Mike" was the most popular phrase among NBA fans in those years, but fans changed it to "gamble like Mike". If the fans' denunciation of him made him tired of the NBA, and then the murder of Jordan Sr. on July 23 was the last and final stab in the chest, just like that, Jordan retired gloomily.
However, his retirement instantly changed the direction of media coverage of him, before retiring, the media stared at his gambling vice, and he suddenly announced his retirement, everyone suddenly felt sentimental, began to miss him, and even some media also introspected: they thought that it was the meanness of the media that forced Jordan to retire early. Sure enough, what you can't get is the best! Jordan's move is quite a bit of a blow, very sharp!
Regarding Jordan's retirement, the Zen master, who is not yet a Zen master, said: I do not oppose Jordan's decision, but he should say his plan in advance, so that the team can prepare early and bring in reinforcements in advance... Then the Zen master began to hint that Jordan might return in the near future. The Zen master even compared Jordan to a previously retired magician. It can be seen from here that those who can serve as the head coach of the team are not fuel-efficient lamps, and their speeches are raised first and then suppressed.
The above are only the superficial changes after Jordan's retirement, and there are more profound changes in the future.
Some people say that after Jordan announced his retirement, NBA ratings fell sharply, the U.S. stock price fell across the board, and the U.S. president, who didn't see the right situation, even came forward to save him...
........
At that time, Yamada Tada, who was still neon, felt that it was a little too much, but after stepping on the American continent, he gradually realized that although this statement was a little too much, it was not too outrageous, which made Yamada Tada's interest in basketball even more interesting. Speaking of which, when he first arrived in the United States, he was a little sore in the egg, why? It's not that I've made the Vic Forest too strong, and now it's not challenging?
As for the follow-up Mitsui, Ma.jian, and Iverson, it was a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and he would not admit how rewarding it was to reverse the original bad life trajectory of these three people. However, Rodney, who is already in the fourth year, will definitely not continue to stay in college after playing in the NCAA this year, and he will barely stay for a year to win a championship to increase his prospects in the NBA, after all, there are few black people who have a good quality of life, you know. In this way, the vacated small front position, who else can it be?
And until now, this year's several strong teams Yamada Tadashi are playing very different, and now he attaches more importance to next summer, and when the time comes, he may be able to play with...
Just as Yamada was in the middle of his mouth, Iverson, who had left with the crowd first, went back and forth to interrupt his crookedness, "Yamada, Dave asked us to go to the post-match press conference." ”
"Oh, huh?"
