On the 28th, at the team's media open day for the new season......

Although the Wizards have previously issued a statement to refute the rumors, because Jordan did not attend the media open day on the 28th, and the anger on the faces of the Wizards players that day, reporters who have always been good at self-brain supplementation still smelled the unusualness of this Wizards.

After Gasol, Arenas, Artay, and Hamilton took the core makeup photos of the new season, reporters rushed to Wang Shuo, hoping that the young coach, who is known as the "friend of the media" in the American basketball community, can provide them with some exciting inside information.

"Wang, are the rumors that Michael Jordan won't play for the Wizards in the NBA in the 02/03 season true?"

"Wang, did Michael Jordan really beat up Wizards owner Abel Pauline as the rumors say?"

"Wang, Michael Jordan's failure to attend today's media Open Day, is it related to the fact that he slept with Abel Boleyn's granddaughter?"

At the scene, looking at this group of reporters whose imagination was richer than the other, Wang Shuo finally understood why the previous Danzi was made a comeback by this group of people.

However, as a person who has come over, Wang Shuo knows very well that if this group of reporters is allowed to scribble out of thin air, then Boss Qiao's retirement tour called "The Legend Never Goes Out" will inevitably be affected in the future.

So, after signaling the group to shut up, Wang Shuo said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and I have a lot to say.

I'll have an exclusive interview tomorrow, where you'll get all the answers you want. ”

"Wang, may I ask which media and which reporter you are interviewing with?" At the scene, reporters asked.

Wang Shuo spread his hands and said, "I think you should all have heard the name of Donnie Jones." (Note (1))

Donnie Jones? Is it him?

As an old fritter in the American basketball press industry, the Wizards team reporter who was sent to Washington by the Los Angeles Times last season, at this moment, when his peers heard this buddy's name, everyone showed a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Because judging from the understanding of Wang Shuo by this group of peers, Wang Shuo, who has never been shocking and endless, will definitely provide him with a full traffic scoop tomorrow!

Damn, Donnie!

Why did you get this interview?

After sending away this group of reporters, Wang Shuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Unseld, the general manager of the Wizards with a worried face, also stepped forward and said to Wang Shuo: "Wang, when did you arrange the exclusive interview?" Why didn't I be notified in advance? ”

Wang Shuo said helplessly: "Weis, if I tell you that this interview was just arranged by me, do you believe it?" ”

Hearing this, Unselde was first startled, then stunned, and then immediately reacted, and after a long sigh, he patted Wang Shuo's shoulder and said, "I really embarrassed you." ”

After a pause, Unselde continued, "What are you going to offer to Donnie Jones tomorrow?" ”

Wang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tell the truth selectively. ”

Wang Shuo knows very well that the Wizards have repeatedly refuted rumors that Jordan and Wizards owner Pauline have no contradictions, which is destined to have the opposite effect.

Because how can paper hold fire?

"Wes, do you want this Wizards to defend their title?" Looking at Unselde, Wang Shuo asked solemnly.

Unseld replied without even thinking: "I've been working for this team for more than 40 years, what do you say?" ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Then please help me tell the boss, I won't mention what happened between him and Michael tomorrow, but we must admit that this conflict has happened now." ”

Unselde pondered for a while, then said, "How are you going to reply to Michael's matter?" ”

Wang Shuo spread his hands and said, "You and I are very clear that Michael just needs time to adjust to his body now.

So this reply is simple, we just need to say that Michael will be out until January next year due to injury. ”

Looking at Wang Shuo's sincere eyes, Unselde finally took a reassuring pill, "You will be ...... tomorrow Tell the media the news that you will be leaving the team at the end of next season? ”

Wang Shuo didn't intend to deceive Unselde, and said, "I will." ”

Hearing this, Unselde's expression suddenly became lonely, and he said, "This is what you Chinese often say, 'there is no unbroken feast in the world'?" ”

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Weis, some landscapes, once they enter the eyes and hearts, even if they are instantaneous, they are eternal. ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "Let's raise another championship banner for the MCI Center!" ”

……

The next day, in a hotel in Washington, Wang Shuo was interviewed by Donnie Jones.

As soon as he came up, Jones asked the most important questions of the moment.

Namely: What really happened between Jordan and the team's top management?

To this, Wang Shuo replied calmly: "Yes, there was indeed some unpleasantness between Michael and the team owner Abel Boleyn. ”

Jones asked, "Is it because of business?" ”

Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I don't know what happened between them.

But I can assure you that for the new season, Michael will still be wearing the Wizards jersey and fighting with us for the fans in Washington!

He'll be back, but he's suffering from some old injuries right now and needs some time to adjust to his body. ”

Jones asked, "Do you think these off-court factors will affect the Wizards' performance this season?" ”

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Donnie, you know, I've always only told the truth, so my answer to you, yes, these off-field factors will definitely affect our performance in the new season. ”

Jones sighed: "You are indeed the most sincere head coach in the NBA that I have ever met. ”

Jones then asked, "How would you deal with all these off-the-field factors?" ”

Wang Shuo replied: "I like a saying very much, life can't be like cooking, all the ingredients are ready before putting it in the pot." ”

Jones sighed again: "I think that's why you're the best head coach in the NBA, you're really the most special one in the league. ”

After a pause, Jones asked, "Do you think these off-court factors will affect your future with the Wizards?" ”

Wang Shuo said with a sincere face: "I still say that, I have always been an honest person.

So, my answer is that even though we've managed to resolve most of the conflicts right now, next season will be my last season with the Wizards.

I was made this decision by no one pressing, it was just my personal decision.

Because I care more about feelings than about money. ”

Jones asked: "Are the players and the management aware that you're going to be leaving at the end of next season?" ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Before meeting you, they already knew about it. ”

Jones asked, "But if the Wizards can successfully defend their title next season...... You're three wins in a row, but you're only one step away. ”

Wang Shuo smiled and replied: "Failure always runs through life, regret is the normal state of youth, Donnie, compared to most people, I am lucky enough." ”

At this moment, looking at Wang Shuo's handsome cheeks, even if he was not related to him, Donnie-Jones felt as if his chest was blocked by something.

And the next day, with Wang Shuo's interview on the headlines of major sports newspapers and magazines in the United States, even those who have always been unhappy with Wang Shuo can't help but feel "uneasy" for him!

Yes, this crazy thing is a little crazy.

But the Wizards ......

Is that how they treat their decorated managers?

In addition, after Wang Shuo publicly admitted that Jordan did have a conflict with the team owner Paulin, a huge number of Qiao Mi in the market were also angry!

Although Wang Shuo said in the interview that he didn't know what conflict happened between Jordan and Pauline, it provided Qiao Mi with plenty of room for imagination.

Especially Wang Shuo's sentence: Jordan will still fight with the team for the fans in Washington in the new season.

Oh my God, he is 39 years old, he is already an NBA legend, he can choose to tell the truth for his own sake, but he still chooses to endure humiliation and fight for the fans, even if it is ......

At the moment, he still has to shake off the problems caused by injuries.

Even if he is the one who has been wronged in this contradiction.

Why, Washington, why are you so cruel to the heroes of the city who just won the championship for you?

and Wang Shuo's sentence: No one forced me to leave......

Yes, as a head coach, I can actually "bear to leave" this championship team built by myself......

It's true that no one is "forcing him"!

Is it true that our fans are blind?

Washington, looking at the news reports, Pauline asked Unselde, "What do I think is getting worse now?" ”

Unselde let out a long sigh and said, "Boss, in your opinion, is the situation really worse now than the rumors that were flying all over the sky before?" ”

Pauline was a little puzzled and said, "But now people are pointing the finger at me and the team management. ”

Unselde replied: "Boss, someone has to come out and take responsibility for this, otherwise, how will we defend the title in the new season?" ”

Pollin gritted his teeth and said, "You can't throw all the fault on us. ”

Unseld nodded and said, "So, after this season, I will take the blame and resign." ”

Pauline was a little suspicious of his ears and said, "You're going to resign?" ”

Unselde let out a long sigh and said, "As I said, someone has to be responsible for this. ”

Pauline knew very well that Unseld was going to help him carry the blame.

Can......

Looking at Pauline, Unselde continued, "Don't forget, boss, that I was there on the night you promised Michael. ”

No......

Weis, you know, I didn't mean that.

At this moment, looking at Unseld, as the scenes of the past appeared in front of him like a marquee, an indescribable sourness came to his heart, and Abel-Bolin's expression suddenly became lonely.

Oh, my God!

Why......

Why is this happening?

I just want to keep my family property from outsiders...... Why is this happening?

In fact, in this world, there is no absolute right and wrong, black and white?

Some are just ......

All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

Phoenix, Colangelo and his son never expected that the opportunity they were looking forward to to the rebirth of Phoenix would come so soon!

"Father, should we contact Wang Shuo immediately?" Colangelo Jr. asked.

"No...... I think he just wants to lead the team to the NBA in the new season now. Colangelo Sr. said.

"But what if someone else preempts it?" Colangelo Jr. asked.

"We've laid down the hook and if he really thinks about us, he'll be waiting for our offer before making a decision.

Next, you may wish to take the time to study Chinese culture, the Chinese have a saying called 'Jiang Taigong fishes, the willing takes the bait'. Looking at little Colangelo, old Colangelo said meaningfully.

And on the same day, New York ......

Pushing open the window, David Stern's mood at this moment was also mixed.

"Mark, you know what, I'm actually the last person in the league who wants to see Michael win a championship after this comeback." Looking back at his assistant Mark, Stern said.

Mark nodded and said, "I understand, David." ”

"But at this moment, looking at this old friend, I suddenly felt that I had gone too far with him in the past?" Stern asked.

Mark smiled and said, "Michael's success is also inseparable from your behavior that is indeed so excessive to him." ”

Stern let out a long sigh and said, "To be honest, I really don't know how to describe how I'm feeling at the moment. ”

Hearing this, Mark pondered for a while and said, "But the Chinese have a saying, but it is very suitable to describe your current mood." ”

Stern was a little curious, and said, "Which one?" ”

Mark replied, "The crowd looked for him a thousand times, and suddenly they looked back, but the man was in the dim light." ”

Stern was amused by Mark, "In the future, when I retire, Chinese fans will definitely like you as the new president." ”

Mark smiled and said, "David, in fact, the Chinese have another sentence, which is very suitable to describe the NBA in the new season, as well as you and me in the future." ”

Stern laughed, "You say." ”

Mark pondered for two seconds and then said, "Don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant, who in the world doesn't know you?" ”

The 02/03 NBA season is destined to be extraordinary.

In October, in the team's preseason of the new season, in the absence of Boss Joe's "injury", Wang Shuo, who led the Wizards to set off in a sad situation, ended all seven games of the team's preseason this year with a score of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Wizards fans may not believe the player reports generated by the player scouting system......

Even if there is no Danzi this season, Wang Shuo is confident to lead this Wizards to defend the title!

After a season of adaptation, and the efforts of Wang Shuo and the entire Wizards coaching staff, Pau Gasol has now received an 87 rating from the basketball support system.

In addition, Arenas' scouting rating has now reached 84 points.

As for Hamilton and Artey, they scored 86 and 85 respectively.

In Jordan's absence, Wang Shuo plans to deploy Gerald Wallace as the team's starting four.

Although in terms of technical characteristics, Stephen Jackson, who can shoot threes, is more suitable for the starter.

But......

In order to avoid Crawford's ghost card in the second team, Crawford directly led the team to collapse, Wang Shuo felt that he still had to put Jackson in the second team to suppress the formation.

Moreover, Wallace's athleticism can also liberate Gasol to a certain extent.

As for Danzi's absence, the Wizards' tactical preference......

Arenas and Gasol's high pick-and-roll, of course.

and a modified version of Princeton.

The Wizards have Gasol, a high-level playmaker who can organize and respond, and he can choose offensive tactics so willfully.

On October 31, the Wizards sat at the home MCI Center to face the Celtics, officially starting the team's regular season journey in the new season!

Outcome......

After the game, Wang Shuo sent a text message directly to Jordan: Danzi, team safety, don't worry.

Throughout the game, the Celtics, who were extremely happy, made a total of 40 three-pointers that even the future NBA team had to call insiders.

However, in front of the Wizards' wing defense, which has no aging Danzi and has improved a lot of athleticism, they only hit eight of those three-pointers.

The opening game ended with a score of 68-124.

The only fly in the ointment in Wang Shuo's opinion is that Wang Zhizhi sneaked up on the Wizards with a layup at the last moment!

Otherwise, the score difference of 58 points will be a lore in Wang Shuo's opinion.

However, although the difference of 56 points is two points less than 58 points, after this night, Wang Shuo still gave the Celtics an embarrassing record:

The Celtics' record for the largest loss in history.

Now, there are two teams in the NBA that have the record for the largest loss in team history, both of which were set by the Wizards led by Wang Shuo.

TNT TV, Barkley lamented: "There are always people who say that Wang Shuo's character is too arrogant...... However, compared to what he has achieved with the Wizards, he seems to me to be humble enough. ”

In addition, before the start of this game, except for Jordan, who was "absent due to injury", the Wizards players and members of the coaching staff were on the spot to receive their championship rings.

It can be compared to the joy of winning the championship a few months ago, when the championship flag raising ceremony and the championship ring presentation ceremony were held......

In front of the TV, at the scene, all the fans always felt that the atmosphere of this night was a little depressing.

……

In November, the Wizards, who lost to the Mavericks on the 23rd of this month, started the game with an unexpected 14-1 record, which made the entire NBA doubt their lives:

No, you let a Jordan be so strong?

Also, aren't there many experts who say that the Wizards are likely to collapse this season because of off-court conflicts?

If the 14-1 start of the game is called a slump, then what are we teams who only deserve to follow the Wizards and eat exhaust?

In fact, Jordan's absence still has a certain impact on the Wizards.

For example, the game against Dallas on the 23rd......

The Mavericks, led by Nelson Sr., defeated the Wizards with a counter-attack.

This season, with the growth of Nash, the Mavericks' offense can be described as a qualitative change.

At the critical moment, the Wizards, whose offensive ability decreased slightly due to Jordan's absence, failed to capture Dallas in the final moments.

Compared with the Wizards' terrifying firepower of 110 points per game in November, the loss of this game was harmless.

In December, the Wizards, who were still not scheduled to play Christmas games this year, managed to regain the confidence of "OK" to beat them in the game on the 14th of this month.

But except for this loss to the Lakers and an unexpected loss to the Nuggets on the road, the Wizards can still only be described as seeing gods in the rest of the games this month.

The loss to the Nuggets seems to have nothing to review in Wang Shuo's opinion.

After all, Denver's plateau is back-to-back home......

"How did Stern arrange the schedule? Why are we back-to-back every time we play the Nuggets on the road? ”

After losing to the Nuggets on the 22nd, Wang Shuo complained very unhappily about Stern's "targeting" of the Wizards on the schedule.

As for that game against the Lakers on the 14th......

From the regular season to the finals last year, he has played so many times, Jordan can usually hide, and Kobe Bryant can always find a switch from the gods to the earth, right?

Don't ask, ask is "OK" combination, the power is boundless!

Wang Shuo feels that after losing the third championship last year, the Lakers, who are particularly serious this year, are likely to rewrite history.

Even with the addition of Ginobili, the Spurs have finally put together a "GDP" combination this season.

But under the premise that "OK" just wants to regain their lost glory at the moment, the relationship has been getting better and better recently, and even the "OK" who is photographed shoulder to shoulder by the media when he usually travels, can only be described as sweet and greasy.

In order to reclaim the championship, O'Neal no longer even minds Bryant stealing his low post from the game.

Because in his opinion, this is a sacrifice that he has to make in order to defeat the Wizards.

After all, you can't wait until the Finals to let Kobe Bryant practice low-post offense, right?

And what about Kobe?

Although he still complains about O'Neal's occasional slack in training......

But under O'Neal's leadership, he has fully seen off the field, but he has more understanding of O'Neill than before.

Oh, my all-powerful little brother, let's go get the damn championship back this season!

Oh, my generous big brother, where are we going to see the customs tonight?

It turns out.

In the future, Shaq not only did it, but definitely more than once.

Otherwise, how could Kobe Bryant think of his name at the top moment?

At the end of the team's campaign in December, when people suddenly look back, they will find out......

Leading the league this season is still the Wizards who were not favored at the beginning of that season.

At the beginning of January, the Wizards were once again the most talked about team at the start of 2003.

It's not because they were upset by any team in January......

Rather, it was because Jordan failed to return in early January of this year as originally planned.

In an interview, Wang Shuo said with a worried face: "Michael's injury this time is not optimistic, and for the sake of insurance, we have postponed his comeback plan." ”

Internally, looking at Jordan, whose figure has almost recovered to the pre-01/02 season, Wang Shuo continued to fool him: "Anyway, I've waited so long, it's better to let the fans wait a little longer."

It just so happens that you can use this 1-month team training to find out how you feel first. ”

This season, thanks to Boss Joe's "absence due to injury", Arenas' average has skyrocketed to 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

He shot 45.8 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from three-point range, and his offensive efficiency was pretty good.

In addition, Gasol, who won the Eastern NBA Player of the Month in December, also averaged 21.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game in the new season, plus 4.8 assists and 2.4 blocks.

Wang Shuo knows that once Boss Qiao returns, the average data of the Wizards and other young people will definitely be affected.

Although, last year, Jordan could use his personal charm to get these young guys to beat around him.

However, this year, after winning the championship, this group of young players will inevitably not have thoughts about this.

Admittedly, Jordan's return can greatly improve the Wizards' ability to attack key moments.

Regular season ......

Danzi, why don't you lie down a little longer?

"Tell me honestly, how many games are you going to let me play in the regular season this year?" On this day, looking at Wang Shuo, who only wanted to fool himself, Jordan asked.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo, who knew that his clumsy flickering skills had not been able to deceive Jordan's fiery eyes, said with a little weakness: "2...... ah, no, 30 games? ”

Jordan let out a long sigh and said, "30 games is too little, Wang, I'm not trying to prove anything, but I don't want people to say that my championship is just mixed up after defending the title this season." ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "There's only one way, Michael." ”

Jordan asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "Do you want to win the scoring championship again?" ”

Jordan looked surprised: "How is that possible?" ”

Wang Shuo asked rhetorically, "What's impossible?" ”

Jordan was puzzled: "You don't want team chemistry anymore?" ”

Wang Shuo showdowned: "In fact, compared to helping you brush up an average of three doubles per game, you go to fight for the scoring title, but it has the least impact on us." ”

To quote Jordan's own words, as long as you can score 8 points per quarter, then you can become the league's leading scorer.

This season, so far, the NBA's scoring champion is Maddy, who leads with an average of 32+ per game.

It is exactly what Jordan said about 8 points per quarter, which can tie or even surpass the object.

But here's the problem......

In just over a month, Jordan, who will be 40 years old, can he really score 8 points per quarter?

Wang Shuo was in his previous life, you may not believe it when he says it.

The 40-year-old Jordan was still able to score 20 points per game on nearly 45 percent shooting from the field.

Moreover, this is still the statistic that he played 37 minutes per game for the Wizards, and spent a lot of time defending.

In this life, this Wizards' offense has more containment points, and it is impossible for the Wizards' opponents to focus all of the team's defensive attention on Jordan.

In Wang Shuo's view, as long as Jordan can pick about 23 times per game, ensure a shooting rate of more than 45%, and add free throws, he can compete for the scoring title.

In addition, the NBA at this time did not have a "Rondo rule".

In addition, Jordan has rested quite well this season, so in Wang Shuo's view, this is not impossible.

In the end, although in order to help Jordan brush the scoring title, it will inevitably affect everyone's scoring data, compared to the sewer......

Try to think about it.

Wang Shuo is to persuade the players to pass the ball to Jordan more.

Or convince the players to not only shoot immediately after receiving Jordan's pass on the court, but also to help him get into position, and even play more triangle offense?

The answer is obviously the former.

"Now the team is really missing you, and besides, everyone wants to play side by side with you.

Knowing that this is the last dozen NBA games of your career, I don't think they will refuse to pass you more on the court. Wang Shuo patted Jordan on the shoulder and said.

"But, didn't you say before that if I don't play a triangle offense, it will affect my scoring efficiency?" Jordan asked.

Wang Shuo smiled: "You will be 40 years old soon, even if your scoring efficiency decreases a little, no one will talk about your hit rate."

Instead, they will only marvel at the fact that you can still average 30 points per game in the NBA at the age of 40. ”

In this regard, Wang Shuo did not lie to Jordan.

Because even if his fan brother in the future is surprisingly iron on the retirement tour, people will only remember the 60 points he scored that night.

Only some of those who have not been hammered by Commey will repeatedly mention the 28 iron he hit that night.

"And when are you going to arrange for me to come back?" Jordan asked.

"In a week, let's fight the Knicks!" Wang Shuo said with a smile.

……

On January 14th, in the anticipation of thousands of Jomi, in New York, Michael Jordan finally made his regular season debut in 02/03 at his loyal Madison Square Garden on this night!

This season, the Knicks have not been doing well lately.

The team, which has twice the Wizards' total salary, is currently 11th in the East with a 14-22 record under Don Cheney.

So when New York fans learned that Jordan would be back on this night......

Usually they are about to blow their home team to pieces, and they have no hesitation in turning New York into a blue ocean on this night.

Well......

This blue, not New York blue, but wizard blue!

In addition, before the official comeback of this game, in order to ensure that his teammates do not feel too uncomfortable because of their "cancerous behavior" in the rest of the season......

Michael Jordan, who borrowed another sum from the sky, made an offer to every Wizards player that they couldn't refuse!

"I know that some of you have endorsement contracts that haven't expired, and some of you don't even have endorsement contracts yet.

But don't worry, as long as you want to endorse AJ in the future, then just give me a call at any time! ”

All AJ!

In the locker room, including Jones and Nesby, who were asked by Wang Shuo to sign back this season in order to win another championship with the original team and add to the legend......

When all the Wizards players learned that they could all be AJ ambassadors......

God knows, at this moment, how fast their hearts that wanted to fight for Jordan and Wang Shuo were beating?

All right.

At the moment, the only two injured are Hamilton, who has become the face of AJ this season.

and Wallace, who has been AJ's face since last season.

But for these two "deputies", Boss Qiao did not forget to appease them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Richard, would you like to work with me on a sneaker? Named after both of us? ”

"Steven Gerrard, are you willing to accept a new contract when this season is over? The previous sneaker contract really doesn't deserve your current performance. ”

Of course, this night, before the start of the game against the Knicks, the reason why Jordan was able to have such a high emotional intelligence.

In addition to partly relying on loans, Wang Shuo also made great contributions.

"Michael, now that you've decided that you're going to make a documentary for you this season at the studio, you're going to call it 'Best Teammate'.

So why not add a different color to this "Best Teammate" at this moment? The day before the game, Wang Shuo said to Jordan.

What is Best Teammates?

Of course, you have to let Rodman and Pippen cry when they see it!

Otherwise, how to highlight the difference between Wizards Jordan and Bulls Jordan?

In this life, Pi Erye is destined to be unable to rely on Jordan to get a good meal in the future.

Because in the future, if he dares to scare Jordan, I am afraid that before Jordan can make a move, Atai and others will go to prick his car tires.

On the evening of the 14th, Jordan in his loyal New York, in the eyes of fans, with the big pattern of "enduring humiliation and burden", with an incredible single 40-point individual show......

Completed his first battle of the return of "the legend never goes out"!

In this game, in terms of efficiency, Jordan made 13 of 31 shots and 14 of 15 free throws, and it can't be said that he played very well.

But just as Wang Shuo expected, what was more shocking than the 18 irons that Danzi hit on this night was ......

This man, who is about to turn 40 years old, can still score 40 points on the NBA stage!

Moreover, he was "absent" for half a season due to injury before!

At the same time, on the night of Jordan's worship in New York, Wang Shuo also officially shouted the slogan he had prepared for Jordan for a long time:

Legends-Never-Die！

New York, NBA headquarters, repeatedly chanting the slogan that Wang Shuo shouted for Jordan, Stern knew very well, even if he didn't want Jordan to steal the limelight from too many young people......

But at this moment, he must also be on top!

"You know what I mean, right?" That night, looking at Mark affectionately, Stern asked.

Mark smiled bitterly and said, "I see, David, going forward, the referees will no longer turn a blind eye to the 'malicious moves' made by those defenders when defending Michael, as they did before." ”

Stern exclaimed, "He's really a genius!" ”

Mark chimed in: "Michael Jordan is truly a basketball genius. ”

Stern shook his head again and again: "No, I'm not talking about Michael, I'm talking about Wang Shuo." ”

A good legend never goes out!

At this moment, Stern, who was originally worried about the future of Wang Shuo, who would leave the Wizards after the end of this season, suddenly found ......

Wang Shuo, who left the Wizards, is a good thing for the NBA!

Because it means......

It is very likely that Wang Shuo will be in another place, holding up one shining star after another!

In Stern's opinion, Wang Shuo would be better off changing places every few years in the future.

Because only in this way can he bring his marketing talent to every corner of the NBA!

"I'm starting to be a little anxious to know what he's going to do after he leaves the Wizards!" Turning to look at Mark, Stern smiled.

In January, Wang Shuo, who didn't know that Stern was also very supportive of his "nomadism", successfully helped Jordan bloodied all major sports newspapers and magazines in the United States in late January.

Although for this, the Wizards paid the price of 3 game losses.

But when other teams in the East are difficult to affect the Wizards' top spot, Wang Shuo and this Wizards are enjoying it.

On February 1, with the results of this year's NBA All-Star voting coming out, despite not playing many games before, Jordan was indisputably selected as this year's Eastern All-Star starter by relying on fan voting.

This year's Eastern Conference All-Star starters are unchanged from last year.

And the Western All-Stars start......

O'Neill may have to cry for a while.

Because with Yao Ming's landing in the NBA, in this era when online voting is not yet developed......

Who knows, how did the NBA headquarters end up with that huge amount of ...... About Yao Ming's vote counting work.

This season, due to the previous special training, Xiao Yao's adaptation to the NBA is significantly faster than Wang Shuo's memory.

In addition to last year's Busan Asian Games, Wang Fei led the team to win the championship in one fell swoop under the guidance of Wang Shuo, which also made Xiaoyao's mentality when he landed in the NBA much better than Wang Shuo's memory.

The only thing that makes some people dissatisfied is that Wang Fei, who will step down as the head coach of the men's basketball team due to physical reasons after the Busan Asian Games, publicly expressed his gratitude to Wang Shuo in an interview after the game.

"This year, the Chinese men's basketball team was able to win this gold medal smoothly, in my opinion, in addition to the efforts of the players, Wang Shuo is absolutely indispensable.

To be honest, the gap between us domestic coaches and NBA championship coaches is just too big.

Wang Shuo just gave me a brief explanation, and I was like an initiation, and I figured out many questions that I hadn't been able to figure out before.

In addition, he also paid out of his own pocket in the summer to help Yao Ming and Liu Wei complete the special training.

In my opinion, if there was no Wang Shuo, there would be no such gold medal! ”

After Wang Fei's interview, Wang Shuo's image in the minds of domestic fans instantly became taller.

In the end, some people could only grit their teeth and say: Wang Shuo did contribute to the winning process of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In other words, this season, Xiao Yao can average 15.1 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.

Statistically, its performance is even better than Gasol, who was sucked by Boss Joe for an entire regular season in his rookie season.

But even so, in O'Neal's opinion, this is not a reason for Yao Ming to steal his Western All-Star starter!

"I have a feeling that the NBA must have gone wrong with the counting process." In an interview, O'Neill said with a heartbreak.

However......

Say it and O'Neill may not believe it.

If it weren't for Stern's insistence, Yao Ming would have only gotten 1.28 million votes in this year's All-Star count......

Boss Qiao's status as the king of all-star votes voted by the majority of Qiao Mi may even be threatened.

The enthusiasm of Chinese fans has greatly exceeded the imagination of Stern and the NBA's vote counting department.

And with the 02/03 season, the NBA is once again coming to All-Star Weekend......

Wang Shuo and Jordan teamed up to bring the "Legend Never Extinguished" performance to the fans this time, and then entered the final countdown stage.

years, don't rush, I won't push what should come.

years, don't rush, you still have to chase if you go far.

On the NBA stage, there's never a shortage of stories.

But this year's NBA ......

Every time Jordan scores on the court, it seems to remind people that it is time to say goodbye......

It's getting closer.
