Chapter 357: His Majesty the Flying Man
Since Xiao Sang joined the alliance, he has always been able to stir up the frenzy of public opinion and focus all his attention on himself, although he is often unwilling to do so, but the turmoil can always find him.
In this era when business is king, this trait of his body can undoubtedly generate enough commercial value for him, which is why he has quickly become the most profitable star in the sports world.
Of course, there is also an unavoidable fact that Xiao Sa can obtain huge benefits, that is, Xiao Sa has been improving, has been growing in controversy, or he has always appeared as a winner.
This constant victory has created a lot of glory and commercial value, but it has also put him under tremendous pressure, because the cost of defeat has increased exponentially with successive victories. If one day Xiao Shi overturns in the gutter, he may be ruined, and his reputation may not be known.
Therefore, there are people in this league who are always eager to try to overthrow Xiao Shaw, because defeating Shaw is enough to make a person from unknown to a popular superstar.
And now, Xiao Sao has this problem again, and his conversation with Stan Van Gundy puts both of them on a single-plank bridge with no turning back, either passing the level to reap the glory or falling from a high altitude to ruin their reputation.
Judging from the current situation, the Magic team has a better chance of winning, after all, from the objective strength analysis, the Magic team is stronger.
However, objective analysis of this thing has not had any effect on Xiao Shi from the beginning, and since joining the alliance, he has existed as a subversive person.
As a result, the game became extremely interesting.
As a result, the whole people paid attention.
Thereupon. Michael Jordan also came.
Thereupon. The Waterhouse Center Arena is filled with angry Orlando!
Thereupon. Both T-NT and ESPN are broadcasting.
As a result, the vast majority of basketball fans around the world are waiting in front of the TV on the day of the game, and the ratings of various TV stations are constantly climbing upward!
The game has not yet begun, and the tension on the outside has already formed strongly.
But this tension didn't affect Xiao Shi in the slightest, he always maintained a relaxed feeling, and his feelings also infected his teammates very quickly. This made the rest of the Knicks players relax as well. In fact, it has always been like this, no matter how tense the turmoil outside is. How crazy the situation is, the Knicks players at the center of the eye of the storm are always relaxed and calm. This has something to do with Xiao Sa's style, if Xiao Sa is nervous and cramped, wouldn't these teammates who follow him be even more overwhelmed.
When he got used to the venue before the game began, Xiao Po even played one-on-one heads-up with Michael Jordan, who came to watch the game. This made the staff and players present very excited, and the ESPN camera that entered in early also recorded the whole process of Xiao Sao's encounter with Michael Jordan.
For everyone else who plays basketball, Michael Jordan is the god of basketball.
But for Chick, Michael Jordan is nothing more than the person in the video. He hadn't heard the legend of Michael Jordan, so he hadn't been infected by him, so he wasn't the slightest bit excited to meet Michael Jordan.
Of course. Xiao Xiao admired Michael Jordan's basketball skills, and many of his technical moves were inspired by the Michael Jordan Skill Highlights video that Mr. John Wooden gave him. So. That's why Michael Jordan said that his dashing back-to-body jumper was the most like him.
Technology like Michael Jordan is simply a natural thing for Xiao Shao, after all, he learned from Jordan's videotape, and he has also been strengthened by dreams, how can he not look like him? So when Michael Jordan praised him lavishly, Xiao Xiao did not show the slightest pride and pride, let alone make any similar 'flattered' reply to this, and the bird did not have the god of basketball.
This once made Mr. Basketball God a little frustrated, after all, with his status over the years, as long as he praised any player, those players would always give the most positive response, and his words were full of ecstasy at being hit by the big lottery.
And this time, when he came to the stadium in advance, all the staff and players greeted him warmly, and even some players deliberately rubbed around to talk to themselves more.
Such a popular Cheng dΓΉ made Michael Jordan can't help but be a little happy, but soon, this joy turned into embarrassment. Xiao Shao, who he wanted to see by name, just looked up at him twice, showed a kind smile, and then returned to the process of shooting three-pointers!
You can't say that chic is not polite enough, smiling at strangers is actually a very polite behavior.
However, Mr. Basketball, the God of Basketball, does not want politeness, he wants that kind of passionate worship...... And he has long been accustomed to passionate worship.
Therefore, when Xiao Dash appeared in such a 'normal and polite' way, he became extremely unaccustomed to it.
He was embarrassed.
Then, he walked to the court and took a basketball from the side and slapped it.
When the god of basketball slapped the basketball again, the staff, players and photographers next to him instantly raised their mobile phones or cameras to point at this rare scene.
Although Michael Jordan has been retired for many years, his overall figure has remained very good...... After dribbling for a minute or two to find the ball, he raised his hand and threw a three-man from beyond the three-point line...... Bang! Swish!
The basketball stumbled and eventually slid off the net.
This goal made Michael Jordan extremely excited, and he even turned around and said with a smile to the crowd of onlookers next to him: "It seems that my three points are much stronger than before after retiring, and I was not so accurate when I played the game!" β
Michael Jordan's joke wasn't actually funny, but everyone still cheered and made the audience laugh. The god of basketball is invincible on the court, the only small flaw is that the three-point shooting rate is not very good, and he once participated in a three-point contest, and the result was very dismal...... This is one of the few small black spots in his basketball career.
Xiao Xiao didn't think it was much funny. So he didn't laugh. Although he stood close to Michael Jordan. Then. He subconsciously shot and shot... It felt as soft as a feather, and the ball flew softly out of his hand and slid through a perfect arc into the net...... Swish!
The perfect three-pointer, and still shooting on the spot, is even more difficult.
Michael Jordan has always refused to admit defeat, and his paranoid spirit is the most fundamental reason for his eternal success.
So, he quickly turned his head to the side and said coolly, "Hey." Do you want to go heads-up? β
When Michael Jordan sent an invitation to Xiao Sa to fight bulls, the onlookers couldn't help but go crazy, they didn't expect that Michael Jordan would actually ask Xiao Sa for a heads-up call at this time, this is the blockbuster news in the blockbuster!!
The onlookers were so excited that they pointed at the camera one after another, for fear of missing the slightest.
Xiao Dash looked up and down very seriously at Michael Jordan, who was wearing loose jeans, a suit on top and leather shoes, and after about five seconds, Dash shook his head: "No, I don't go with you alone." β
What the??
Everyone, including Michael Jordan, was shocked...... What happened to Chick? He actually turned down the basketball god's heads-up invitation? Doesn't he know that he will go head-to-head with Michael, whether he wins or loses. Will it create a powerful storm of public opinion and even extend its significance?
While everyone was shocked and shocked, Xiao Sao continued to say seriously: "You can't be my opponent now. So I don't want to bully you. If you were the one I met on tape, I wouldn't be your match either. I say the facts, no offense! β
Xiao Sa's words are very straightforward and crisp.
In the literal sense of the word, there is not the slightest problem.
But... Who is Michael Jordan? He's the god of basketball!! How can you say that the god of basketball is not your opponent? Even if the god of basketball is old, he is still the god of basketball!!
Everyone was shocked by the chic 'boldness'.
However, Michael Jordan smiled after a moment of stunned: "Although your words made me feel offended for a moment, I have to admit the truth of what you said. However, I think we can still do one-on-one. You're younger than I am, but your technical experience is completely on par with mine, and it's like I want to hit you with my back and you still can't defend against it. β
Michael Jordan's words sparked a desire to survive immediately, and he immediately said, "You can go and change into sneakers and sportswear, I want to try." I used to watch you play on videotape, but now it's a privilege to be able to play with you face-to-face on the court. β
Hearing Xiao Shi say the word honor, Michael Jordan couldn't help but feel a little honored. He turned around and hurriedly asked the staff to prepare basketball shoes.
Soon, he changed into basketball shoes, took off his jacket and warmed up a little, he took the basketball and stood a step above the free throw line: "Here, defend me!" I'm going to tell you what a real back-to-back singles is. β
When Old Man Qiao said this, his momentum came from within, and that kind of confidence was completely indescribable.
Xiao Sage took a deep breath, and after making sure that the slightly fat middle-aged man in front of him was the invincible Michael Jordan he watched in the video, he stood behind Jordan and prepared a complete defensive response.
But... When you are in a good position, you are still not the best defensive position, or... I can't find any good defensive positions at all. Michael Jordan seems to be a casual stop, but in fact has taken the overall initiative.
It's a completely different feeling from facing Kobe Bryant, who has a natural rhythm and seems to be a simple move, but always unconsciously loses the beat of the defense.
And defending Michael Jordan is ...... From the very beginning, he took the initiative, even if it was just standing there!
After Michael Jordan determined that Xiao Xiao had fallen into a good defensive position, he habitually held the ball in one hand, shook it forward, and at the same time shrugged his shoulders and pushed his hips back, followed by a quick turn, Xiao Xiao hurriedly went to defend...... But Michael Jordan has already made a move...... Xiao tried hard to pounce, but Michael Jordan's basketball had already flown past his fingertips...... Bang!
The basketball didn't hit.
But Xiao Slang understood that he had lost.
Because Michael Jordan didn't even feint, and he barely took off, let alone made a step-back jumper, he was just a simple temptation, and then turned around and shot...... It couldn't be easier...... But I can't defend it!!
Sure enough, it's Michael Jordan!!
Xiao Shao secretly admired in his heart, and the audience on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud.
Everyone has heard of how good Michael Jordan is, and when Michael Jordan, who is almost fifty years old, stands in front of the young Xiao and easily completes this simple backward turn shot, they find out why Michael Jordan is the god of basketball.
With Michael Jordan's back-to-back singles alone, no matter how bad his physical fitness is, he is enough to find a contract in the NBA today.
"Do you want to know why you can't defend me?" Michael Jordan didn't pay attention to the adoring gaze and exclamation around him, he was used to seeing this kind of scene in his life, and it was just a trivial matter, so he turned his head sideways and asked with interest to the incredulous chic on his face. He was more interested in the incredible chic than the crowd of worshippers, because he didn't dump him much before.
"I don't know." Xiao Shi shook his head, he was serious, he was really confused.
"Again!!"
Michael Jordan smiled slightly, asked the staff to pass the basketball, and continued to start.
His move made the staff who had followed him on the sidelines for many years very puzzled...... Flying Man Majesty XiΓ What's wrong? He had never had such a good temper and patience with his juniors before. And...... This guy is still a shareholder of Adidas! You have to know that you are a shareholder of Nike, you are in competition with him, why do you want to teach so carefully?
