The reporter's eyes lit up. You are the one who dares to speak, Han Yi. My interview today is worth it!

Then the reporter continued to ask:

"What is the regret you mentioned?"

Han Yi replied: "Of course the biggest regret this year is losing to the Chicago Bulls."

"Han, you didn't lose unfairly. This year's Chicago Bulls are the champions!"

"No, I'm not saying we can't lose," Han Yi explained:

"This year's Chicago Bulls are the better team. It's not unfair for us Celtics to lose to them. It's just that I will regret losing to Jordan because I'm afraid I won't have the chance to win again next year!"

"Do you think Jordan may retire?"

The reporter's eyes sparkled. Jordan is going to retire? This is big news. Since the end of the finals, although Jordan has not renewed his contract with the Bulls, there is no news confirming that Jordan may retire!

After all, it was this year that Jordan just won his tenth scoring title and led the team to win the championship. Although he is 35 years old, he is still the real No. 1 in the league!

But Han Yi had no obligation to reward the reporter. He shrugged and said, "Maybe, I guess."

But this possible guess, when exposed by the media, quickly dominated the front page of the NBA during the offseason!

"Is the NBA about to change? The God of Basketball announces his retirement!"

As for the main text, the source of this news came from Han Yi's interview. In the reporter's description, Han Yi vowed:

"Yes, Michael Jordan will retire!"

"He will definitely retire!"

As soon as this article came out, the entire NBA world was blown up!

Even the NBA draft published on the same day as this news became an insignificant footnote:

Like in the previous life, the Clippers, who won the No. 1 pick, selected Michael Olowokandi, known as the "African Han Yi".

When Olajuwon was at his peak, he was called the next Olajuwon. This season, Han Yi is also popular and is called "African Han Yi". He is known for his ability to run, jump, defend and attack. But in Han Yi's eyes, the biggest similarity between the two is that they both learned basketball quite late.

But the difference is that I, Han Yi, rely on systematic hard training, and what do you, Olowokandi, rely on to challenge me?

The second pick of the Vancouver Grizzlies selected Mike Bibby, who loves bodybuilding. If the Grizzlies could be a little more patient, they could have relied on Mike Bibby to accelerate the reconstruction. Unfortunately, after three years of training, they ended up making wedding clothes for the extremely gorgeous Kings.

The third pick of the Denver Nuggets selected River Lavrentz. A good space inside player who can shoot three-pointers, his defense is not bad, and his basketball IQ is also good.

But if the Nuggets had their eyes open, they would have found that they missed out on Hall of Fame players like Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, and Paul Pierce because of this pick. Would they cry and not know what to do?

Of course, the second and first picks would also be out of tune

The Celtics didn’t have a first-round pick either, so they skipped all the way until they finally picked Manu Ginobili, who changed his application time and was selected as this year’s rookie at the last minute, at the 46th overall pick!

Brad Miller from Purdue University was picked at the 57th overall pick!

These are two signings of far-reaching significance for the Celtics, but focusing only on this moment, no one cares how these two little-known, almost invisible characters entered the league.

The only thing they care about is:

Is Jordan’s retirement true?

When Jordan saw the newspaper, he was completely numb and muttered to himself:

"Han Yi is a bit weird, how did he know I was going to retire?"

Han Yi was also shocked when he saw the report:

"Damn, when did I say Jordan would definitely retire? You're just making it up, right?"

And just ten minutes after Han Yi saw the news, his agent David Falk appeared in Han Yi's newly purchased mansion in Boston with a confused look on his face:

"Han, are you so close to McCollum? How did you know he was going to retire?"

Han Yi said aggrievedly:

" If I say I just said it casually, can you believe it? David, if necessary, I can clarify this matter again! "

"Clarification is meaningless!"

David Falk shrugged:

"This is the reality. Your casual nonsense will be regarded as the golden rule by everyone, and your patient explanation will only be regarded as a cover-up of the truth."

"This is indeed the reality!"

Han Yi nodded helplessly. For him, because of his previous life, Han Yi naturally knew that Jordan would retire this year, but at this time point, not onlyOthers don't know, even Jordan himself has not made up his mind to retire.

Because if it weren't for the complete collapse of the labor-management negotiations, if it weren't for the Bulls' general manager Jerry Crowder kicking Zen Master Phil Jackson out of Chicago, Jordan would not have chosen to retire.

And back to this moment, although the labor-management negotiations have been discussed to the final point of tension, and although many insiders have believed that the labor-management negotiations are inevitable, the public still doesn't know.

Although the Bulls have not renewed their contract with Phil Jackson, they have not announced that they will never renew their contract with Phil Jackson.

But once Han Yi said this to the public, even if not so many people believe whether Jordan will retire this year, the topic of Jordan's retirement will become a major event in the ordinary offseason.

Even for the public, it may attract more attention than the labor-management agreement that is related to the fate of the entire NBA. After all, in the past ten years, it is not a big problem to say that Michael Jordan is roughly equivalent to the NBA!

David Stern's series of magical operations turned the NBA from a niche sport of drugs and crime into the Mecca of world basketball. What did he rely on?

It was Michael Jordan!

So whether Jordan retired or not was a top priority for the public and the entire NBA!

But for Jordan's agent David Falk, did he really not know that Jordan was going to retire?

There was no reason for Jordan to hide it from anyone but the man who helped him create Jordan's business empire!

"So, you come here..." Han Yi lay comfortably on the sofa: "You are not here to question me on behalf of Jordan why I told this?"

"Of course not," David Falk waved his hand: "I am Jordan's agent, but I am also your agent, and for reasons you understand, I need you to stand up."

"What for?"

"Sign this contract!"

David Falk handed over a contract:

"I negotiated with Nike, 6 years and 50 million. If you sign him, you will be the new face of Nike, the most famous spokesperson for Nike in the NBA after Jordan."

"As long as you are strong enough, you will be the number one in the NBA, and there will be no obstacles in the middle."
