NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 101 To be kind, don't hurt me!
Jordan is very uncomfortable. He has not experienced this feeling of being ignored for countless years.

No matter what the occasion, he is the absolute protagonist.

And tonight's All-Star Game, he was ignored by McGrady, not only McGrady, it seemed that the three boys on the Raptors field ignored him.

This is like Jack Ma going to attend the Star Entrepreneur Conference, and when the meeting is over, no one comes to say hello to him.

In the offensive round in the West, Payton did not pass to Kobe this time, and passed the ball to Malone.

As a result, Malone was not interested in making a move. At his age, he was already bearish on the All-Stars.

The ball was passed to Garnett again, and O'Neal watched eagerly, not expecting Garnett to pass it to him.

"boom!"

Garnett missed the shot, and the rebound fell far away, and was snatched by Big Zhi.

Jordan felt isolated, and O'Neal felt the same way.

It's just that the nature is slightly different. O'Neill met two new melons who like to show off, one is Kobe and the other is Garnett.

Big Zhi got the rebound and passed it to McGrady as well, and went to the frontcourt with Xiao Ao to set up.

It's not that Big Zhi had any ideas, he passed the ball to McGrady, it was completely out of habit, after all, he had been a teammate for so long.

McGrady missed a hit this time, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

Seeing that no one was passing the ball to him, O'Neill simply did not do anything, and controlled the ball by himself like a heavy truck full of lard, swaying towards the frontcourt.

Kumbu was dumbfounded, and the fans applauded loudly.

Xiao Ao trotted beside O'Neill, and he also knew that reaching for the ball at such a moment was a bit lacking in entertainment spirit.

He's waiting for O'Neal to make a mistake.

In the end, he really waited until O'Neal dribbled near the three-point line in the frontcourt. I don't know if O'Neill next to him put pressure on him, and his ball control increased.

There was a burst of laughter immediately at the scene, and O'Neill's old face flushed.

O'Neill immediately picked up the ball, seeing O'Neal making a fool of himself made him feel happy.

"You too!"

Xiao Ao hurriedly passed the ball to Big Zhi. He originally thought that he would also dribble the ball all over the court, forming a stark contrast with O'Neill.

It's a pity that he still has self-knowledge, and his ball-handling skills seem to be really not as good as O'Pang.

Simply pass it on to Dazhi and let him show his skills.

Da Zhi was not polite. After receiving the pass, he took control of the ball and ran away. It was different from O'Neill's wild boar charge. Da Zhi looked chic and elegant.

Regardless of his [-]-foot-[-] height, he looks like a perimeter player.

If there is no comparison, there will be no gap. Ao Pang's basic skills are actually good, but it is still not enough compared to Da Zhi.

The fans at the scene burst into warm applause and screams, which made Ao Pang feel even more ashamed.

His teammates didn't pass the ball to him, and he made a fool of himself on the court. He suddenly didn't want to play.

Want to go home, want to go back to Los Angeles...

When Ao Pang was in possession of the ball just now, Ma Long didn't move at all, and stayed in the backcourt to wait.

Seeing Dazhi rushing towards with the ball, he didn't intend to step forward to defend, so he dodged around to give Dazhi a chance to make an empty basket.

"boom!"

With a bang, Big Zhi completed the dunk.

It can't be said that there is a sense of beauty, after all, no matter how you deduct that kind of height, you can't lose the sense of beauty.

But a LONG dunk is full of gold for a [-]-foot-[-]-inch big man.

Kong Bu's heart skipped a beat, Dazhi was active enough tonight and had a sense of presence.

Can't you get an All-Star MVP tonight?
Because this year's All-Star is more classic, it staged the scene of Kobe playing against Jordan, so Combe has watched the video of the game.

Under normal circumstances, Jordan won the All-Star MVP of this year, but his statistics are not impressive, only 23 points in the end.

23 points is also the highest score in the game.

The Malone iron bastard in the west, O'Neal wanted to play without the ball, Garnett and Wen Baker brothers played iron in various ways, Eddie Jones was not angry with his substitute Kobe, he became his starter tonight, all kinds of crazy shots in the game , with the most shots in the game, and also the most strikes in the game.

Under the sluggish performance of these people, the East has brutally abused the West.

Judging from the current situation on the court, the Eastern Conference still has a clear advantage. As long as the Eastern Conference wins and Big Zhi's statistics are decent, it is really possible to win the All-Star MVP.

Anyway, Jordan is basically out of play.

Tonight's starting All-Star here in the Eastern Conference, if it wasn't for Tracy McGrady, it would not be so embarrassing for Jordan if he were replaced by any guard in the league.

He was unlucky because McGrady didn't buy him at all.

If there was only McGrady alone, that wouldn't be the case, mainly because Big Zhi and Jr. were teammates of McGrady on the inside. After they grabbed rebounds, they all habitually passed them to McGrady.

And if this is Jordan's last All-Star before he retires, then McGrady can't risk the world's disgrace and only care about his own pleasure, he must still have to pass the ball to Jordan.

It's a pity that Kumbu is the only one in the world who knows that Jordan will retire for the second time after this season.

Not to mention the fans, even Jordan himself didn't know that he would retire.

The reason he gave for retiring for the second time was that he had taken all the honors he deserved, and the NBA has no challenges.

In fact, Jordan himself didn't believe this. The real reason was that the salary negotiation stipulated a maximum salary.

Originally holding an annual salary of 3000 million, after the maximum salary regulations came out, they could only get about [-] million. This kind of psychological gap is simply unacceptable to ordinary people.

With a salary of tens of millions, Jordan felt that he was being prostituted for nothing.

It just so happened that the season was suspended, and Jordan simply announced his retirement.

"Dudududu!"

After playing for four minutes in the first quarter, the West team called a timeout.

Old Karl began to change people, replaced the iron bastard Malone, and replaced him with his favorite general Wen Baker.

Then Kobe and Payton were replaced with the Lakers' duo of Jones and Fan Maniac.

Seeing the situation, Kumbu also made lineup adjustments, taking Hill and Jermaine O'Neill and replacing them with Big Ben and Penny.

He didn't move Jordan, even if he really wanted his players to win the MVP, he wouldn't go so low as to deduct Jordan's playing time.

Not only will he not skimp, but Combe will try his best to allow Jordan to play as many minutes as possible to prevent him from falling into the trap.

As the biggest star in today's league and even the entire NBA history, no matter which coach comes to lead the Eastern Conference, he must ensure that Jordan plays the most minutes in the game.

Even Larry Bird is no exception. He allowed Jordan to play 32 minutes, the only player in the game who played more than 10 minutes.

If Big Zhi or McGrady really get the All-Star MVP, and Jordan plays less than these two, then not only Konbu will be blamed, but the person who won the All-Star MVP will definitely be sprayed with bruises.

The timeout ends and the players return to the court.

Crazy Fan threw a three-pointer in the west, but failed to score.

It is worth mentioning that the four Lakers who came to participate in the All-Stars this year seem to regard New York as their own home court. The number of shots taken by all four of them ranks among the top five in the Western Conference.

Kidd pitifully ran from Phoenix to the competition, and he took one shot in the whole game, but the point was that he hadn't scored yet.

Big Ben accepted the rebound and still passed it to McGrady.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Jordan's face changed drastically, and McGrady actually passed the ball to Penny!

He originally thought that McGrady was the kind of selfish kid who liked to show off. He finally got lucky and was selected as the All-Star starter, but he showed himself vigorously.

After Penny came on the field, he realized he was wrong.

It's not that McGrady likes to show off, he is purely targeting himself!

Pence is actually injured. He has played almost two-thirds of the season, and he has only played six games.

Coming to the All-Star competition this time, I don't want to live up to the expectations of the fans.

Wen Baker was also aware of Penny's situation, so he didn't guard against it at all, and stood in front of him with a defensive look.

"Shh!"

The posture is handsome and the ball is hollow into the net.

"Perfect!"

McGrady yelled excitedly, this scene of competing with idols on the same team had been imagined countless times in his dreams.

Kobe has been stealing from Jordan, and his shooting posture has a lot of Jordan's shadow.

And McGrady has been stealing from Penny, and his gorgeous dry pull is imitating Penny.

Next, Wen Baker in the West scored in the CIC, which can be regarded as slightly stabilizing the situation for the West.

In the possession of the ball in the East, McGrady passed the ball to Pence again in the frontcourt, and then Pence saw Jordan actively running without the ball, reached out for the ball, and passed the ball.

This is Jordan's first shot in this game!
"Shh!"

With a picturesque fadeaway, Jordan made a direct hit for the first time.

After the ball was scored, Jordan turned his head and looked at McGrady. He wanted to see the shocked expression on McGrady's face. After all, the backward lean he just made just now was by no means comparable to penny.

In the end, he didn't see the shock, but only saw Maddie glaring at him.

Maddie was upset.

If my idol played with an injury, he wouldn't be able to play for a long time, maybe only 10 minutes in total.

In the short playing time, McGrady wanted Penny to take more shots.

As a result, Jordan took the ball back. If Jordan hadn't shot too decisively just now, he would have liked to steal the ball back from Jordan's hands.

"Damn boy."

"Kobe is more pleasing to the eye."

Jordan cursed in a low voice, his teeth itching with hatred.

After playing for another 2 minutes, Jordan kept reaching for the ball, and Pence gave it as soon as he had it.

Old Carl called a timeout again and continued to make substitutions, replacing Garnett and O'Neal. He tried to balance the playing time of all Western All-Stars as much as possible.

Comb clearly remembers that under normal circumstances, Jones played the most minutes in the Western Conference at 25 minutes, Duncan played the least at 14 minutes, and other players kept around 20 minutes.

Old Carl treated everyone equally, even O'Neill didn't get preferential treatment from him.

Kumbu imitated the example and started to make substitutions, replacing McGrady and Big Zhi with Wu Sheng and Glen Rice.

With McGrady off the court, Penny lost the ball in his hands, which is equivalent to Jordan's less possession of the ball.

There was only Daben on the field, and he was the insider who was in charge of grabbing rebounds. After he grabbed rebounds, most of them were passed to Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng's stunned young temper, don't care whether you are Jordan or not, let's talk about it when you feel good about it.

It was not until the 9th minute of the first quarter that Kombu replaced Jordan, and the playing time was definitely enough.

Jordan couldn't get angry.

Raptors players pass the ball to their teammates, is there something wrong?There's nothing wrong with that.

And it's not true that they don't pass the ball to outsiders. For example, Penny received a lot of passes on the court.

Did Kumbu give playing time?I gave, not only gave, but also enough.

But Jordan just played unhappily and aggrievedly. In 9 minutes of playing time, he only scored five points.

反观首节只打了7分钟的大郅，已经入账了7分3篮板，麦迪也有着5分4助攻的精彩表演。

When the second quarter played for about three minutes, Kumbu saw that Karl had made a substitution, and he was going to put Jordan back on the court.

As a result, Jordan played with his temper and waved his hand at Kong Bu, indicating that he would not go up.

Kong Bu was stunned, "No? How can I do that?"

"If you don't play, others will think that I am deducting your playing time for my own players."

"Michael, you have to be kind, don't hurt me!"

"Everyone testify to me, I definitely did not suppress Michael's playing time."

Kumbu yelled at the other Eastern Conference All-Stars at the top of his voice.

Jordan looked at Kong Bu speechlessly, he must be kind?You, Combe, are the most unkind one.

If you can find out the faults of Kong Bu, that would be easy to say, but Kong Bu did not leak, and you can't find any faults. This is what makes Jordan the most angry.

"Michael, come on, if you don't play, it will really make it difficult for Coach Kumbu."

Uncle Mu was very kind and gave some persuasion.

"Many fans at the scene are here for you, you have to be worthy of them."

Penny also tried to persuade him. His meaning was obvious. I came here with a broken leg.

Jordan sighed secretly in his heart, and he also realized the fundamental reason why he was so uncomfortable.

The fundamental reason is that the Bulls only came to him as an All-Star.

And the Raptors are five!
Even if the Bulls could come three, he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable now.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Jordan could only return to the court.

With the help of Lakers Jones and Fan Crazy, the East has been leading the way and has always occupied the initiative on the court.

Kumbu sat on the sidelines, staring at the technical statistics of the game.

Wu Sheng just played soy sauce tonight, and he has no hope of getting involved in the MVP.

Daben has a lot of rebounds, but unfortunately he has not scored a point and has no block data. Obviously, there is no hope.

Xiao Ao only scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in the second half, and he had no chance.

McGrady and Dazhi have a good chance, and the chance is not small.

By the end of the third quarter, Big Zhi had scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, while McGrady had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists. The two players were evenly matched, and they were the players with the best statistics in the Eastern Conference.

As long as the East can win, the MVP will inevitably be produced between the two of them.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there was no disturbance in the West in the last quarter. Jones was the chief war criminal who lost in the West, and Madman Fan was the second war criminal.

But Kobe played well tonight, scoring the highest score in the West with 18 points.

Compared with the later generations who often have several All-Stars with more than [-] points in a team, Kumbu still thinks it is more interesting now.

At least a little bit of offensive and defensive strength can be seen.

大郅入账了21分10篮板4助攻1盖帽，麦迪入账了23分4篮板11助攻2抢断。

Jordan's stats are actually not bad, with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, making him the third-highest scoring player in the Eastern Conference.

Kong Bu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know whether Dazhi or McGrady won the MVP in the end, it didn't matter. Anyway, the MVP belonged to the Raptors, and that was enough.

McGrady's data is more dominant and more likely.

"Kong, Mr. Stern is waiting for you in the backcourt."

Xiao Hua didn't know when he touched Kong Bu's side, and whispered in his ear.

Kong Bu's heart skipped a beat, Stern looking for himself?

Wouldn't he be dissatisfied with himself and the Raptors who robbed Jordan of the MVP?
The possibility seemed unlikely, he was careful and cautious everywhere, and he didn't have any small braids to be caught. Even if it was a national first-level sparring athlete, he would not be able to find fault with himself.

Following Xiao Hua, Kong Bu came to the backcourt.

At this time, some media and senior reporters in the backcourt are selecting the All-Star MVP.

"What's the matter, Mr. Stern?"

Combe asked curiously.

"I'm going to award the MVP to Big Zhi, but Tracy's statistics are even more beautiful."

"What do you think?"

Stern turned out to be worrying about it.

"Tracey, the data is better, of course you have to win the MVP, there is nothing to say about it."

Combe replied without thinking.

"No, I just got the news that there are at least tens of millions of people watching this live broadcast in Tianchao."

"If it is given to Tracy, there is no guarantee that those fans will not be disappointed. Now is the initial stage, and there must be no mistakes."

"Give it directly to Dazhi!"

Stern called Comb over, as if he didn't intend to listen to his opinion at all.

"No, if you do this, what will Tracy think? What will the outside world think of Dazhi?"

"We can't lose face just to make money, can we?"

Kong Bu was a little dissatisfied. Stern did this very unethically. On the one hand, it was easy to create a gap between Big Zhi and McGrady.

On the other hand, it is also easy for Da Zhi to be blamed.

"Kong, pay attention to your attitude!" Xiao Hua, who had been standing by the side, suddenly admonished Kong Bu.

Kong Bu was stunned, Xiao Hua dared to talk to him like that?
If it is said that you have become the president of the league, even if you are a vice president, you can accept it.

But you are just a small assistant now, do you really think of yourself as a big shot?
Good guy, you dared to admonish yourself when you were an assistant. If you become a vice president or the real president with power, how can I survive in this alliance?
"Didn't the Jazz share the MVP in the past two years?"

"Tracey and Da Zhi are also teammates, and they are also an internal and external combination. They might as well share the MVP."

"Since there is a precedent, it is completely justified."

The precedent mentioned by Comb is that Malone and Stockton shared the MVP in 93. Tonight's situation is similar to that at that time. It is very appropriate for Big Zhi and McGrady to share the MVP.

"Yes, this is indeed a good solution."

Stern seemed to agree.

The matter was settled, Kong Bu glanced at Xiao Hua again, if you don't make you pay a price today, you probably don't know why the flowers are so popular.
