482. Jordan's Retirement Declaration

Phillips Arena, All-Star Night.

This year's All-Star Weekend was unlike any other.

The Hawks invited the now popular female singer, 18-year-old Ciara Princes Harris, who became popular all over the United States last year with a song "Love at First Sight", becoming the sexiest singer, actress and model in the United States.

After Harris finished singing the national anthem, there was no bells and whistles like other All-Star weekends, and all of this year's All-Star Weekend regular performances were performed before the Rookie Game and the multi-event day two days ago.

After Harris sang the Perfect Empire anthem, the crew came to the center of the stadium and set up a small stage.

After the stage was set up, the staff evacuated.

First up is the East and West All-Star appearance!

First up are the five All-Star starters in the West.

The first to play was the two No. 21 forwards, then Yao Ming, and the penultimate was Francis, and Kobe Bryant finally entered as the "first man" for the first time.

Then there were the five All-Star starters in the East, with Carter and Maddy coming first, followed by Ratliffe, and Iverson and Liu Mang coming in last.

Although the all-star starter Liu Mang gave up to Jordan, at the appearance ceremony, he was still the last one to enter Liu Mang's east.

After Liu Mang entered the room, he and Kobe Bryant sat in the middle of the All-Star starters.

Kobe Bryant was very happy to enter as the "boss" of the west for the first time, but when he saw Liu Mang actually sitting in the position of the "boss" of the east, his face suddenly became gloomy, this kid! It's so exciting!

In just two seasons, he has been promoted to this position.

There's a chance to kill this kid in the finals!

If Liu Mang next to him knew that the fierce Kobe Bryant on the side actually had this idea, in case Brother Blacksmith's dream came true, Liu Mang might be able to thank Brother Blacksmith more.

If he can make it to the finals, won't he cross Jason Kidd?

After the starters came out, a stinky O'Neal came out with the Western Conference benches, and then the Eastern All-Star benches.

After one burst of cheers and screams, it was discovered that one person was missing!

At this time, the lights dimmed, and a video clip of Jordan from the draft began to play on a large screen above the court.

First, Jordan entered the NBA with the third pick, and then came to play in Atlanta for the first time, when the Hawks' home stadium was still called American Airlines Arena.

After that, the picture had little to do with the Hawks, Jordan was eliminated by the Pistons in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and the score went from 0-3 to 3-4 in a tie-break, and Jordan left tears of despair at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Then he made a comeback in 1991, swept the Pistons 4-0, spent four years crossing the mountain of the Pistons, reached the Finals, and then was unstoppable from then on, two triple championships, one led the Dream Team to sweep the world, and established the status of the first person in basketball history.

Finally, he made a comeback in 2001, and there was a shot of the Hawks' home stadium......

Liu Mang saw that Jordan scored more than 50 points in the scene with a back to himself, and a three-point shot that killed himself, Liu Mang felt that his video editor was an undercover agent sent by Jordan!

There are so many shots, why cut these two! Master doesn't want to lose face!

However, thinking that today was the day when Old Man Qiao delivered his retirement speech, Liu Mang endured it.

Otherwise, what else can I do, go and beat up the editor? Or is it a threat of violence?

That estimated video clip later...... I will be miserable forever......

After the tribute video was played, the screen on the big screen switched to the scene and aimed at the players' tunnel.

Jordan appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel, next to Zen master Phil Jackson with a microphone.

Hearing the tsunami-like cheers of the audience, the Zen master picked up the microphone and said, "Are-you-ready? ”

Jordan tilted his head, as he had been accustomed to for the past 19 years: "Of course."

Jordan ran out of his fellow players and onto the stage in the center of the court.

That's when the press officer came around the stage with the all-stars.

Seeing these pictures, Liu Mang knew that Jordan's famous All-Star Weekend speech was coming!

After Liu Mang came out just now, he saw the fans sitting on the sidelines of the scene, except for the family members of some players, most of them are members of Parliament, American stars, and some Asian stars, and the most are famous and current players who have not been selected as All-Stars.

This All-Star Weekend is the All-Star Weekend with the most celebrities and active stars in NBA history!

The players saw Jordan's final All-Star weekend treatment, and the performances were mixed.

Liu Mang is okay, I have watched Jordan's last speech many times on the video in later generations, but I am looking forward to it, will it be different from the impression? And the incident that I told Jordan today, will it happen? Looking forward to it!

Most of the All-Stars looked at Jordan with envious eyes, this kind of treatment, almost all the celebrities who are still alive came to the scene, and even Bill Russell, who will not appear at the game scene except for the Celtics game and the NBA Finals, is here, this face is too much!

If you want to have such a face, you have to have Jordan with such a face.

However, there is one person who does not envy.

Everyone was clapping and envious, and only one guy in the No. 8 in the Western All-Star training jersey was different.

Everyone is blessing and applauding, only Kobe Bryant is the most special, seeing Jordan standing on the stage, Kobe Bryant smiled like a 190-pound big fat man, that is called an excitement, other people are blessings or envy at most, this 190-pound big fat man is like standing on the stage by himself, how excited he is, just like a brainless fan.

Jordan enjoyed a moment of cheers and applause, picked up the microphone, and was about to speak.

There was no need to mobilize, and the scene was quiet.

Jordan, as old school as he was, blew the microphone and auditioned before he started speaking.

"How's that, basketball, thank you.

Thank you so much!

Now it's up to you, all the people here, my former teammates, my former opponents, my competitors, my current opponents, my teammates, all the people and things that basketball has made me know and experience so much, thank you.

I would also like to thank my family for supporting me for so long and supporting me to achieve my dreams on the pitch.

Supporting basketball isn't just about all Jordan fans, thank you for your support.

It would be unfair to the entire NBA if I had completely walked away from the NBA after I retired in 1998, so I'm back this time, yes, you see, I'm also old, I can't shoot goals, I can't fly up and dunk.

But my departure didn't make the NBA any worse, it made the NBA better because of the efforts of our generation, and I was relieved to leave, so many great stars are still here, so many stars are elevating and participating in the sport, and I took the baton from Dr. J Irving, Magic Johnson, Big Bird Bird and other great seniors, and I passed that on to the players on the All-Star court and other players on the All-Star court.

I heard that someone has chosen my successor, Bryant, Carter, Iverson, McGrady, James, and by the way, Liu.

They're all great, and as you think, and I think they're going to be the ones to take the torch from me, and of course, they're going to have strong opponents like Duncan and O'Neal in front of them.

The NBA is fantastic right now, everything is fantastic, and I can leave without regrets.

I'm grateful for everyone's continued support, and now, after this year, I can go home and enjoy the peace of mind that basketball has brought me."

Thank you so much.

Originally, I was going to wait until the end of the season and announce my retirement.

But I don't want to go any further, the NBA doesn't need me anymore, I shouldn't be here at my age, I don't want anyone to let me, like this All-Star starter, if it wasn't for my apprentice, yes, it's Ace, if he hadn't given me the starter, I probably wouldn't be on this stage.

So, I'm not going to play the next regular season, it's time for it to be over, and now the NBA is the time for young people, and it's time for me to leave.

No, Jordan-out。 “
