At Atlanta International Airport, the weather is still cold in early spring.

The plane from New York to Atlanta arrived, Qiao Hai walked out of the arrival exit and glanced at the time, there was about an hour left, and the plane from Vancouver to Atlanta was about to arrive.

So, Qiao Hai found a fast food restaurant, ordered a sandwich, and waited while eating.

An hour later, the airport broadcast that the plane from Vancouver to Atlanta landed, Qiao Hai hurriedly rushed to the arrival gate, and soon waited for Han Xue.

"Old Han, I miss it for a long time!"

Qiao Hai gave Han Xue a big hug suddenly, Han Xue was stunned for a long time, and she didn't react, or she didn't know how to react.

At the entrance of the airport, David Falck sent a car to Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai took Han Xue and got in the car and went directly to the hotel.

Qiao Hai doesn't have to stay in a hotel, because after tonight's game, he will fly back to Houston overnight, and after the All-Star weekend, the Rockets only have one day off, and for Qiao Hai, he needs to rush back to Houston immediately.

Han Xue is going to stay in Atlanta for two days, and since she is in Atlanta, she is going to take a tour of the city.

In the hotel room, Han Xue stared at Qiao Hai, she felt that Qiao Hai had bad intentions.

"Why did you just open a room?"

Qiao Hai wanted to tease Han Xue: "Save money, you see this bed is so beaten, it's more than enough to sleep two." ”

"You're a big boss, and you still need to save money?"

Han Xue quickly fought back, but Qiao Hai was a little confused: "Why am I the big boss?" I'm a part-time worker, too! ”

"Pretend! Did you buy it? ”

Qiao Hai stopped talking.

Han Xue continued: "Also, do you think I haven't read the recent reports of major media? You're also part of a consortium in the NBA, aren't you? ”

"You know that......

Qiao Hai was a little speechless, but Han Xue took out a newspaper as if by magic: "I bought it at Vancouver Airport, Vancouver Business Daily." ”

Qiao Hai took the newspaper and found that it read: Qiao Hai invested in joining the army expansion consortium, and he has already started the next stop?

smiled: "Okay, I'm barely the big boss, but you also know, investing in this thing is the most expensive, and I have no money, so I can only squeeze a room with you." ”

Han Xue had a disgusted expression on her face: "Forget it, do you think I don't know, you have to go back to Houston, because the Rockets will have a game the day after tomorrow, or away, and you will go back tomorrow to prepare for the game." ”

Qiao Hai's face was full of "you know everything", and he couldn't believe it.

In the end, a few words popped up: "It seems that you still care about me." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Han Xue suddenly stopped squeaking.

……

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, at Phillips Arena, the All-Star Game was about to start, Qiao Hai took two tickets for the front row of seats and took Han Xue to sit in the front row.

Around Qiao Hai, many fans wearing Michael Jordan jerseys haunted the atmosphere, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium was very warm.

Joe is not the star of the All-Star Game, the star of this game is Michael Jordan, because it will be his last All-Star Game performance.

Even Qiao Hai is not even a supporting role, and the star players other than Michael Jordan are the supporting roles in this game, but before the game started, Qiao Hai still received some attention.

The live broadcast camera kept sweeping over Qiao Hai's area, and the broadcast team from CCTV also specially sent a reporter to interview Qiao Hai before the game.

"Qiao Hai, why do you have time to watch the All-Star Game today? I've seen news reports in North America that say you've taken a stake in a consortium and are participating in the NBA expansion bid? ”

In this tone, who else could interview Qiao Hai? Naturally, it can only be Zhang Weiping.

Faced with such a question, Qiao Hai replied with a smile: "I'm busy with things in New York, so I have time to watch this game, and even if I'm not busy, I will come to watch this game, because this game is very important to us, this is the debut of the Celestial Empire players in the All-Star Game!" ”

"Tell me about your expectations for Yao Ming's match?"

"Actually, there is nothing to look forward to, Da Yao is a unique center forward, this game, he is the starter, his playing time will not be less, I hope he will not be timid, play his own style."

Qiao Hai didn't brag about Yao Ming, what he expressed was exactly what a head coach should expect from his players.

Director Zhang nodded and continued to ask, "Who do you think will win this All-Star Game?" ”

"Western troops."

"Western troops? But everyone said that because this was Michael Jordan's last All-Star, the league would let the East win, and then let Michael Jordan win the last All-Star MVP of his career. ”

Qiao Hai smiled, with an expression that you are too young: "Maybe the alliance really wants to control the field, but to be honest, they may not be able to control it." ”

Historically, the league did control the game in this game, but in the end, they did not control it.

The East almost won, but at the end of the first overtime of the game, Kobe Bryant finally held the ball and pulled a three-pointer from the outside, but Jermaine O'Neal gave Kobe a foul in the brain.

Bryant then hit two of three free throws to send the game into the second overtime.

Then, in the second overtime, the already stronger Western troops broke out and won the game!

Zhang Weiping, who hadn't experienced all this, naturally wouldn't believe Qiao Hai's current "joke", so he smiled and directly changed the topic to the next question.

"Let's talk about the expansion of the bid, why did you suddenly join a consortium and want to be the small owner of an NBA team?"

"When the opportunity comes, I naturally want to seize it."

One last question: "Does joining the expansion bid, if successful, mean you only have a little more seasons left with the Rockets?" ”

But to Director Zhang's last question, Qiao Hai waved his hand and refused to answer.

The question is too sensitive for him to know how to answer yet.

……

……

The game started soon, Michael Jordan was indeed the absolute protagonist of the game, before the game, some fans appealed: "Other stars on the court, help, let Michael take an AMVP and retire!" ”

But Michael Jordan said, "I don't want a funeral, I'm not leaving or dying, I'm still playing, so I want to say thank you to everyone who cares about me, but I don't want to turn this All-Star Game into a funeral." ”

So, in this game, the more real Michael Jordan met a more real Kobe Bryant, and a group of Western stars who were in hot form.

The Eastern troops were very cooperative, and all kinds of passes were made to Jordan, and in this case, although Jordan was not in good shape, he still shot again and again.

Moreover, Qiao Hai, who was sitting in the front row, could even hear Kobe, who was opposite Jordan, constantly spewing trash talk.

"I know where you're going, you've got to move a little faster!" Bryant said.

"If you know, why would you eat my Akira?" Michael Jordan said.

"Michael, where else can you go if you fake it?"

"But you've eaten fake shaking!?"

"I'll just ask you where you're going?"

"I'll pick you in the game and treat you well!" Michael Jordan concluded.

So, in this game, Jordan was more serious, Kobe Bryant was also more serious, the two paranoids came together, and the league finally couldn't control this game.
