What Lin Tian and everyone didn't expect was that the conflict between him and the Jazz team was far more than just a conflict on the court.

Because the day after the clash, Stockton's side was the first to expose the bad news.

The Iron Man on this court, because of a cracked rib, needs to rest for 2-4 weeks before he can get back into play.

At this time, Stockton will definitely miss the All-Star Game in San Antonio in early February!

All-Star thing, players will often express impatience and boredom, saying that they would rather not be selected than lazy to play, but if it is really injured and absent due to injury, especially the malicious spirit of the opponent, then everyone will be extremely unhappy!

For example, the current Ma Long feels very unhappy because his good partner will be absent for at least half a month!

This unhappiness continued to the Jazz's home game against the Lakers!

This season's Lakers, in fact, are still not competitive for the championship, but they are a team in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital that never lacks topics!

So, even if the team lacks stars and has no hope of winning the championship now, they have other things that can attract the attention of the entire league!

The magician's comeback!

Yes, the magician, who had no choice but to retire due to HIV infection in the 1991 season, finally felt that his body could do it after battling the virus for five years! He's back on his beloved basketball court!

For the comeback of the magician, some players were very happy and welcomed, and some players were very scared and unhappy, but they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction openly because of the face and the magician's coffee position.

For example, Jordan and Rodman, these two guys are one of the few active superstars who most welcome the return of Magic, Jordan is willing to support his good buddies because he played side by side with Magic in 1992 and has a very good relationship.

As for Rodman......

Lin Tian felt that Rodman was worried that he would also be infected with AIDS one day, so he supported Johnson in advance, so that if Rodman himself got sick in a few years, then others would definitely welcome him back to the league!

This big flower worm has a living brain!

Of course, there are some people who will express their worries, unhappiness and opposition to it directly!

For example, Malone!

When the signal that the magician wanted to make a comeback just came out in the league, Malone expressed his clear opposition, he said that he was 100% against it, 100% unwilling to compete with a patient, he didn't live enough, he didn't want to get a terminal illness, and he didn't want to be infected with an incurable disease because of such a stupid behavior.

From beginning to end, Malone was the biggest obstacle to the magician's comeback and the biggest one among all the opponents!

It's just that, no matter how much Malone opposes, the Magic finally passed the various inspections and votes of the league and the players' union, and returned to the league!

And on February 2nd, it's the Lakers' away game against the Jazz!

Before the game, Ma Long, who had a bad attitude towards the media and had a bad temper, encountered two bad things about Stockton's injury and dealing with Magic in the game, so Malone was even more irritable and arrogant when he was interviewed!

"I'm not going to compete with a patient, and I'm not going to put my life in danger for a fight! That's stupid! I don't care what other people think, maybe they're idiots who aren't afraid of death, but I'm not going to be stupid with them! ”

"I'm definitely not going to play with Johnson in this game! When he plays, I will go down, and when he goes down, I will play! And I have requested the highest standard of disinfection measures, non-stop disinfection on the court! ”

"Seriously, if it weren't for the Salt Lake City fans and not letting them down, I wouldn't be playing tonight! I came on the pitch for the fans, not because I agreed with Johnson returning to the league! My position is that I will never agree to his return to the league in my life! Absolutely not! ”

After saying this, Malone really managed not to compete with the magician in the game.

As soon as the Magic comes off the bench, he will be immediately rested.

And as soon as the magician goes to rest, he will appear again!

Even in the last 3 minutes, when the Jazz only led by 3 points, Malone immediately took the initiative to foul and asked for a break as soon as he saw Magic on the court.

In the whole game, Malone only played 23 minutes, only scored 17 points and 9 rebounds, and the Jazz team was also reversed by the Lakers because the two leaders were not there in the last three minutes, and suffered a two-game losing streak.

After the game, Magic, who scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, faced the interview and smiled: "It's a pity that I can only play 26 minutes, my physical strength is terrible now, if I can play 48 minutes, then Carl can sit and rest without changing clothes, I will work hard, I will try to solve my physical weaknesses." ”

Ma Long's words may be exactly the same as what many players think, but in the end, only he said what was in his heart!

Therefore, more people have opened the interrogation of Malone in this game!

Miller, Barkley, Olajuwon, Rodman, Jordan, Payton......

Dozens of All-Star players and above came forward to express their disappointment with Malone's remarks and, incidentally, their support for the Magic and all AIDS people.

Among them, several stars with good teams even took advantage of the situation to start charity activities to help AIDS patients, and suddenly attracted a large number of fans.

Marlon has become the biggest loser in the magician incident!

In addition, if someone looks at the schedule, they will find that on February 10, three days before the start of the All-Star Game, it will be the turn of the Los Angeles Lakers to challenge the Bulls away.

This time against the Lakers at home, it was Jordan who expressed his support for his good friends and the opportunity to show his style!

As for Lin Tian, although he only maintained half of the game because Jordan did not stop a game and directly appeared in the next game, Phil Jackson's adjustment of the lineup has been almost completely decided.

And his use of Lin Tian has also changed significantly!

From February 1st to 8th, the Bulls had a total of 4 games in a week, except for the first game because Rodman was suspended and the starting lineup changed slightly, the remaining 3 games, the Bulls' starting lineup was exactly the same!
