Standing pretty old

Chapter 554 He is still alive
The founders of the Bulls dynasty are basically pessimistic about whether the Eagles can break through the topic of 72 wins.

Most members of the dynasty, including Pippen and Rodman, expressed their views, but Michael Jordan, the great god, remained silent and did not express his views.

In the locker room of the Bobcats home court, Ruan Erniu once again saw the long-lost His Majesty the Flying Man.

Jordan took the initiative to go to the visiting team's locker room tonight and sent his blessings.

Qiao Gangzhu said to Er Niu: "Don't care what others say, go and break that record!"

There is no nonsense in front of the media, but being able to say such things in private, just from this point of view, Jordan's mind is worthy of admiration.

Ruan Erniu responded with a smile: "To be honest, I don't pay attention to that record, I just want to successfully defend the title."

Jordan patted Er Niu on the shoulder and said: "I believe you have this ability. How about it, have you ever thought about coming to Charlotte to play after the rookie season?"

Well, no more deals?Changed to grab it?
Ruan Erniu happened to be talking, but Jordan stopped the topic and said, "Go back and think about it. I have enough patience in this matter."

After speaking, Jordan left the visiting team's locker room without looking back.

The Eagles are also used to similar poaching. After laughing and teasing, the happy atmosphere resumed.

Even Jordan said in private that he is optimistic about the Hawks breaking through 72 wins, and there is nothing the Eagles can't see.

Ruan Erniu also followed the crowd and smiled, but he had doubts in his heart. There was something in Jordan's words just now, and it must not be that simple, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

However, someone soon answered his doubts.

This person is Larry Drew, the assistant coach of the Eagles. He heard all the conversations between Jordan and Er Niu not far away, "Can't you figure it out? It's actually very simple, because our boss is not Mark Cuban, Jerry Either *Bass or James* Dolan."

Drew's explanation made Er Niumao suddenly understand. He instantly understood what Jordan meant. There was no conspiracy in it, and the bet was that the owner of the Eagles couldn't afford the luxury tax.

As usual, a team like the Eagles should be very happy if they can win consecutive championships. After all, the better the record, the more developed the football market.

But it is a pity that once the Eagles win consecutive championships, the value of the players in the team will definitely increase. If you want to keep good players, you must offer big contracts.

Not every player is like Bibby, who confessed that he has made enough money and wants to get more honors.

Young players still hope that they can get a big contract, and in a short career, get money that can satisfy the rest of their lives in affluent life.

In this way, there will only be two results:

[-]. The Eagles renewed the contracts of other players at a high price, so they did not have enough salary to renew the contracts of Er Niu. In the end, Ruan Er Niu had to leave Atlanta in order not to damage his commercial value;

[-]. The Eagles were determined to renew Ruan Erniu's contract, so they gave up most of the championship lineup, which caused the Eagles' strength to decline sharply, and their results were difficult to guarantee. In this impetuous era of efficiency and performance, Ruan will also be Er Niu forced to go.

Jordan's words seemed careless, but they actually contained a conspiracy. He had already calculated that this was a hurdle that Ruan Erniu and the Eagles had to go through.

When Er Niu's rookie contract expires, it is the moment when Ruan Er Niu has to make a choice.

Speaking of it, Jordan's thirst for talent is not only because he wants to make achievements in the boss's position to crush those who look down on him, but also has something to do with the Bobcats' bad luck.

Needless to say, those terrible drafts, just at the end of last month, the Bobcats lost their most important player in the team-Gerald Wallace.

On January 1, imperial time, the Bobcats beat the Lakers in a bad news!
"Elvis" Gerald Wallace, who performed well this season, was elbowed maliciously by his opponent Andrew Bynum.

The general course of events is as follows:

When the Bobcats were playing against the Lakers in the fourth quarter, Wallace broke through and jumped up. During a layup, Bynum, who was 213cm tall and weighed 129kg, gave a black elbow to his chest. He immediately fell to the ground and was in great pain. .

Bynum also received a flagrant foul, and Wallace had to withdraw from the game with the help of his teammates and returned to the locker room to be checked by the team doctor.

He was then taken to a Los Angeles hospital for a more detailed examination.

Tests showed Wallace suffered a collapse of 30 to 40 percent of his left lung and a non-displaced fracture of his fifth rib.

According to the Bobcats, the hospital has implemented lung recovery treatment for Wallace, but he has to stay in the hospital for 48 hours for observation.

Gerald Wallace was a true fighter, a man of integrity, a man of morals, a man who came out of the crud we will always miss...

Hun Dan, he is still alive!

In the end, the Bobcats, ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, defeated the Lakers with the second record in the league by 7 points in two overtime games, and Wallace scored 15 points before leaving the game.

Losing Gerald Wallace, who averaged 16.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, didn't just mean the Bobcats lost their second-leading scorer, it also meant they lost their locker room leader , and the defensive center, this can be regarded as a fatal blow to the Bobcats who are struggling for a place in the playoffs.

Besides, Gerald Wallace is also getting old, even if he returns to the court, how much success can he maintain?

Jordan didn't want to play badly, but at present, it may be a good choice to play badly.

The starting lineup of the Bobcats in this game is also very wonderful:

C Boris Dior
PF Emeka Okafor

SF Adam Morrison

SG Raja Bell
PG Felton Raymond

Ruan Erniu hadn't played against Dior for a long time. This man who could beat Stoudemire in the height test while wearing slippers turned out to be fat at an early age and began to gain weight.

It seems that the trade of the Suns has already broken the heart of the Gallic magician, so that he had no choice but to turn his grief into appetite, so as to relieve his depressed mood.

Ruan Erniu easily won the jump ball, and the contest between the two teams began.

In the first quarter of the game, Raja Bell, also from the Suns, performed very well. Not only did he limit Jon Jonson's shots on the defensive end, but he also made frequent gains on the offensive end, helping the Bobcats lead the mighty Eagles by 3 points in the first quarter.

Entering the second quarter of the game, another magical substitute named Kadir Martin appeared on the Bobcats bench. Such a guy can't eat a few dumplings a year, but he was caught up by the Hawks.

Fortunately, Erniu and Salmons stepped forward in time and scored consecutively, suppressing the wild offensive momentum of the Bobcats. At halftime, at 49:55, the Eagles trailed by 6 points and entered the second half.

As usual, the third quarter entered the time period that the Eagles could not afford to mess with. With a burst of blood and courage, the Bobcats quickly lost in front of the Hawks' offensive like a storm.

A wave of 23:5 attacks made the Bobcats instantly doubt life.

45:22，鹰队单节净胜13分，以94:87的7分优势进入了末节比赛。

In the last quarter, the Eagles still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. Mike Bibby extinguished the Bobcats' counterattack many times with his steady and sophisticated three-pointers. Lu Ren left the field with 6 fouls and finally took the team's second victory in February.

At 122:97, after the Eagles beat the Timberwolves, they got the Bobcats with a big score in the away game.

They will temporarily end their away trip, return to Atlanta to rest, and welcome their opponents at home.
