"He's the greatest player in the NBA, he's the greatest legend in the NBA, it's a shame for everyone they're going to lose all that, the NBA is going to lose its greatest player, whatever, bless him, thank you for everything he's given us"

"The news I got from our internal sources, when he announced his departure, David Stern watched the live broadcast in his office, and surprisingly, David Stern was not angry, but very calm, is this iron-fisted NBA president also a world stuck in his past at this time? Or does he think he's already found a replacement? Anyway, for me, he is the only one, and there is no one who can replace him."

"Jordan and Carter, maybe they are the best two No. 2 positions in NBA history, please forgive me for putting Carter in the No. 2 position, of course I know that he played the No. 4 position this year, and I also know that he played the No. 1 and No. 3 positions in previous seasons, but no matter what, in my heart Carter is the closest to him, whether it is height and weight, technology or background, they are the closest, and even now many young people think that Carter is stronger than Jordan, but I want to say that in my heart, Jordan is the strongest, His position in the hearts of our generation cannot be replaced by anyone, and in fact, at present, I still think that the 84 generation will always be the strongest, they are stronger than the 96 generation than the 03 generation, although Jordan left and took away the last player of the 84 generation, although the NBA at this time is already the world of the 96 generation, but no matter what, I will always insist on this view, even if I will still think so when Anthony or James dominates the league in the future"

"This is the first time in the past half a month that I haven't seen Donaghi's name on the front page, which is really not easy."

In the chairman's office of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei held a newspaper in his hand and said with a smile that the whole country has been focusing on Donaghi's black whistle case recently, and even because of this incident, this year's NBA playoffs have been covered up a lot, and as more and more truths about this matter are dug up, this matter has received more and more attention. Originally, many people thought that this year's NBA playoffs would definitely be with this event, but the NBA changed that situation on May 20.

Because a generation of basketball gods officially announced their retirement, after the seventh game between the Wizards and the Grizzlies, the basketball god officially announced it when he participated in the post-game press conference, although for most people in the United States, they know that this is the last year of the god, but it is obvious. Many people don't want this to really happen, in the United States now, the influence of this great god is not as strong as when he was at his peak because of the emergence of a young star like Carter, but there are still a lot of fans, at least, even Carter at his peak may not say that he can compare to the current Jordan god.

In this case, in recent years, the battle between Jordan and Carter has almost been the biggest touchstone in the NBA, which does not need to be deliberately praised by David Stern. This year's playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals Wizards played the Grizzlies, this is the second consecutive year that these two teams have met in the playoffs, if last year's ratings of this round of the series were higher than the finals because everyone wanted to see a fresh, then this year's round of matchups is still so far, so the highest ratings in the playoffs and even higher than the ratings of last year's finals are not simply fresh to explain, perhaps for many people. They don't want Jordan to retire like that.

Even if it's hard for him to jump from the free-throw line like he did at this point, it's hard for him to show his dominance on both the offensive and defensive ends like he did at his peak, and maybe only his mid-range shooting is still accurate at this time, but that's okay for a lot of people. As long as the great god can stand on the field, they are willing to stay in front of the TV all the time, of course, no matter how nostalgic these people are. No matter how reluctant you are, the retirement of the great god Jordan is also inevitable.

It's just that maybe for many people, they should be grateful to this year's NBA executives, because this year's playoff NBA schedule allows them to see a lot of previous memories, such as in the first round of the Wizards playing the Cavaliers, they saw Penny Hardaway and Jordan face off again, both of them are far from their peak, but this kind of drama of Jordan's successor against Jordan who was the No. 1 son of heaven can still be addicted, and as for the second round Jordan vs. Carter, this is also the topic that everyone talks about the most in recent yearsAlthough this round of matchups will not distinguish who is strong and who is weak, there is no doubt that Carter is the best person to end Jordan's career or bid farewell to Jordan.

Maybe there will be a lot of talk about who is stronger at the peak of these two people in the future, but now, no one cares about these details, now it is enough to just enjoy these, and in fact, they do the same, therefore, when the enjoyment is over, when the great god really leaves, these people suddenly sober, and in the end, they can only hold the newspaper and look at the photo of the great god who is forced to talk and laugh on the news release and secretly feel sad, Jordan's retirement has taken away the youth memories of many people, And for the league, it is also the loss of one of its biggest golden signs, which is something that many people don't want to happen, so almost at the same time, David Stern, the president of the league, stood up to the media to express his reluctance, in addition to David Stern, it is not as good as other retired or active players such as Bird, Magic, K Carter and other retired or active players to pay tribute to this god, and in fact this is also how it should be.

When Donaghi's affairs have not receded, the fall of Jordan has happened again, which is almost a direct announcement that perhaps for the NBA, the winter has begun, which is a challenge for David Stern or anyone in the NBA right now.

"It's really a pity that I never been able to play against him on the court, and I think Vince should be very happy at this time to be able to bid farewell to his idol in this way" For people like Green who were born around 75 years old, when they are 10 years old and can remember, the NBA is the NBA that belongs to Jordan, and for their group, it is almost a generation that grew up with Jordan, and Jordan's growth in the NBA is also their own growth, so in the United States, Basically all the idols of this generation are the No. 23 of the Bulls, Carter is, Duncan is, James Posey is, Garnett too, and for Green it is indeed a lifelong regret.

"Yes, I think he should indeed be very happy" Zhuang Fei also nodded and said, when Carter graduated from high school, his first target university was Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina, and in fact, if it wasn't for Zhuang Fei to trick him into Wake Forest, he would have started to reopen Jordan's past path, of course. For Carter, although it is a pity that he was not able to enter Jordan's alma mater, for him, it is already a blessing to be able to get Jordan for the last time, and even Zhuang Fei is looking forward to seeing Jordan off with his own hands, so in his heart he is extremely looking forward to Jordan being able to lead the Wizards to defeat the Grizzlies in the semifinals, but obviously. This kind of thing could not be transferred by Zhuang Fei's will

"Michael is a great player, I think everybody will regret his departure, but this is the NBA, there will always be players coming in and leaving, this is the inevitable thing, all we can do now is to bless his future here, I think he will stay in the NBA even if he is no longer a player, stay with us, I swear something like this will happen"

For the league recognized as one of Jordan's best friends. Zhuang Fei naturally can't escape the impact of Jordan's retirement, and in fact, at the regular pre-game press conference on May 21, the day before the Celtics and Grizzlies Eastern Conference Finals series, Zhuang Fei was bombarded by these reporters. For these people, almost none of their questions are about the game between the Celtics and Grizzlies a day later, almost all of them are asking about Jordan, which is also a little helpless for Zhuang Fei, of course. is also full of emotion.

For him, he really didn't want to answer those questions because it was like Jordan had gone to heaven. On the night of Jordan's retirement, Zhuang Fei called the great god, compared with the emotional chaos of the great god after the end of this year's All-Star, the great god's emotions were very full at this time, obviously this is something he has been prepared for, and he is also looking forward to the freshness that the new position can bring him, so at this time, even the great god Jordan is not so sad, and he Zhuang Fei is naturally impossible to sensationalize like these reporters. It's just that no matter what, with Zhuang Fei's identity, he will definitely not be able to hide.

"Mr. Zhuang, are you saying that Jordan will stay in the NBA in another capacity, will he continue to be the general manager of the Wizards? But I haven't heard that he will continue to stay with the Wizards as general manager? Is it to be a head coach like Larry Bird? ”

"It's still a secret now, I think you'll know it then, I think this time won't be too long, it should be determined right away" Zhuang Fei finally smiled a little helplessly and said, obviously at this time about Jordan going to the Bobcat to be the boss is still an undisclosed secret for the NBA, at this time, although Zhuang Fei has long known the inside story, he can't say it, but Zhuang Fei's answer is naturally impossible to satisfy the appetite of these people, and in fact, these people really want to get to the bottom of it. It's just that for Zhuang Fei, it is impossible for him to answer, in this case, it was supposed to be a regular press conference before the game, and there was no question at all to ask about the game between the Celtics and the Grizzlies the next day, which was not a big embarrassment for Zhuang Fei and the Celtics.

Of course, although Zhuang Fei did not answer these reporters' questions about Jordan's whereabouts at the press conference, but soon, Jordan himself answered, on May 22, the day of the game between the Boston Celtics and the Grizzlies, Jordan announced that he would become the second boss of the Bobcats, officially returning to the ACC league, and also officially returning to North Carolina, and such a decision almost caused an uproar in the United States, because everyone knew that this was another challenge for David Stern to the ACC league, Even the biggest challenge, the Bobcat with Jordan and the Bobcat without Jordan are two concepts, in the ACC League, in addition to the influence of the Chinese is unmatched, Jordan and Grant Hill and Carter Duncan and others can also greatly influence the situation, so almost at the same time that Jordan announced that he became the Bobcat owner, the Hall of Fame of the NCC League of North Carolina included the statue of Jordan outside the Hall of Fame, which is also a very embarrassing thing for the Jordan God

Of course, now the outside is disturbing about Jordan's return to North Carolina, but for Zhuang Fei, the most important thing now is his game with the Grizzlies, and Zhuang Fei basically doesn't want to pay attention to Jordan's return to North Carolina. I'm afraid that North Carolina and the ACC league are his eternal knots, of course, as for the reason for the failure, if from the perspective of hindsight, it is natural that the player's Jordan and the owner's Jordan are completely different creatures, and people in North Carolina will buy tickets to support Jordan to appear on the court, instead of watching the god sit in the stands in a suit, even becoming a head coach is better than being an owner.

Of course, these things are impossible for David Stern, who is now almost complacent and thinks that his plot has succeeded, and Zhuang Fei neither wants to say this to him at this time, nor does he have time to say it, although it seems that the Boston Celtics have a much greater chance of entering the finals than the Grizzlies, but Zhuang Fei will not think that he can beat the Grizzlies even without any preparation, and the Grizzlies are completely incomparable with the Hawks and the Pacers. In fact, although the Celtics are slightly stronger than the Grizzlies, they are only strong, and the team's tactics this year are indeed very distinctive.

And this characteristic almost reminded Zhuang Fei of the famous finals before he crossed over, defeating the Mavericks of the Heat. (To be continued.) )
