In the middle of July 2002, the sun was already scorching on the land of Sanqin, and although the Loess Plateau area in northern Shaanxi was not as hot as the Guanzhong region, it was also extremely hot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Han returned to his hometown after a series of activities in the capital, and he invested in the construction of a road for his hometown, and also invested in the construction of a football school named after him, but he did not agree to the suggestion of the hometown leaders that he would invest in the construction of the factory, on the one hand, he had no experience in this area, and at the same time, he did not have time management.

During this period, Anna also came to China from Spain to accompany Liu Han to participate in a series of activities, and her identity as Liu Han's girlfriend has also been recognized by many Chinese people, although there are some people who guess Liu Han and Anna with malice, but Anna's lovely appearance and cute personality have still been loved by many people, in fact, in terms of celebrities looking for a foreign wife, Chinese people have always been generous, and even some people feel that this is to win glory for the country.

After a series of domestic activities, Liu Han has to go to the United States, Haierjia for Liu Han to get a lifetime contract of Adidas, Adi promised to invest in Liu Han to set up his own brand - "Han", this brand of sporting goods will not only be a single sneaker, but including football boots, basketball shoes, football, basketball and a series of sporting goods, including jerseys and uniforms, and the sales profits of this brand Liu Han will enjoy forty percent, and the remaining forty percent will be used for brand promotion and publicity, Adi only enjoys 20% of the profits.

Such a contract can be said to be Adi's bloody investment, they attach great importance to Liu Han, and a superstar backed by a large market of 1.3 billion people is undoubtedly the money printing machine in the eyes of everyone.

When Liu Han and Anna returned to the United States, he met an unexpected person at the airport - David? Stern.

David? Stern's arrival was something Liu Han did not expect, he did not have a good impression of this old man who single-handedly built the NBA into a global basketball temple, in Liu Han's view, this old man is mercenary, he only has the interests of the league in his mind, and never thinks about anything else, which may be why he can lead the league to rise.

"Liu, it's been a long time, seeing you again made me sound the final in '97, you are much more mature than then."

See Liu Han again, David? Stern seemed sincere, but Liu Han didn't care.

"Hello, Mr. Stern, I didn't expect you to come to see me."

"First of all, congratulations to you, Liu, I am impressed by your achievements in football, your performance in the World Cup is really good, you deserve the glory of the Golden Boot."

"Thank you."

Liu Han has kept his distance from David Stern.

"Liu, I know that the incident brought you a lot of pain back then, which none of us expected, and I apologize to you for the attitude of the alliance at that time."

"Hmm, huh?"

Speaking of the events of that year, Liu Han was still very uncomfortable in his heart, after the shooting incident that year, Liu Han had already led the Lakers to establish a new dynasty, but the league considered that the Lakers were too strong and did not firmly support Liu Han after that incident.

"Liu, have you ever thought about returning to the league and getting back into basketball, there are a lot of people here who are looking forward to your return."

Seeing that Liu Han's mood still seemed to be cold, David Stern decided to explain his intention directly.

After Liu Han left the NBA, although the development of the league is still relatively smooth, but it has gradually lost the grand occasion of the year, not to mention the ultimate showdown between Liu Han and Jordan in 98, after the gradual rise of the Spurs, the ratings of the NBA Finals have declined year after year, and the rise of a group of championship-only coaches has reduced the viewing of the NBA a lot.

The teams of Popovich, Larry Brown, Jeff Van Gundy and others have embraced a defense-first philosophy, making the NBA a gladiatorial arena for interior blue-collar workers.

And with the departure of Liu Han and Jordan's retirement again, although some good newcomers have emerged in the NBA, no one has been able to reach the height of Liu Han or even Jordan.

Iverson is still unruly, although Philadelphia reached the Finals in 2000 under the guidance of Larry Brown, but was swept 4-0 by Popovich's Spurs, and O'Neal's Lakers also lost to the Spurs in seven games in the Western Conference Finals that year.

Kobe Bryant, who came to the East, gradually became one of the representative stars of the East, but his conceited personality offended many people and even fell into a big scandal.

For example, McGrady, Vinson Carter and others failed to lead the team to a good performance, but only reflected their ability in the data, and they were much worse than the data of Jordan and Liu Han back then.

The current NBA has fallen into a strange circle of stars and no superstars, Americans like to see superstars lead the team to block and kill God, Buddha to block and kill Buddha, rather than one person brushing data and others as supporting roles, as for the gradually rising Spurs, Pistons and other teams, in addition to the local fans love, it is estimated that the audience is very narrow, and not many people like to play basketball tactical drills.

And with the departure of Liu Han, the promotion of the NBA in emerging markets has also come to a standstill, seeing that football is gradually becoming popular in the market of 1.3 billion people, David Stern is anxious in his eyes, and he begins to regret the decision he made for the league.

Hearing David Stern's words, Liu Han was in a trance, to be honest, the reason why he invested in football was more to completely forget the memories of the year, but his body is honest, everything he learned in UCLA and the Lakers is still in his body, his muscles are still familiar with the feeling of basketball, and he still misses the original feeling.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stern, I don't think I can get back here if the man who hurt Safina is still alive."

Although Anna was present, Liu Han did not hide his emotions, and he still hated the guy who brought him all this pain.

"That's a shame, well, I know you suffered a lot, so if something really changes, please think about the possibility of coming back, you are needed here, and the fans need you."

David Stern did not give up his plan after hearing Liu Han's words, he originally wanted to let Liu Han and the 40-year-old Jordan have a final showdown, this may be an opportunity to bring the NBA back to the top, before the huge benefits, anything that stands in the way will be crushed, this is David Stern's belief.
