Friday evening's Masters and Rookie Challenge, Richard also went to watch.

The Masters weren't much to look at, but this year Richard's former boss Paul Allen was back in the game, so Richard went to the scene to cheer on his former boss.

Then in the Rookie Challenge, many Richard's disciples participated, and finally the honor of MVP of the Rookie Game was won by Richardson, a sophomore.

Richard didn't have much interest in Saturday's miscellaneous games and didn't go to watch them, mainly because no one on the Pistons team participated in today's game.

……

Sunday night's All-Star Game was the biggest feast of the All-Star Weekend, and countless fans were waiting for tonight's game.

The head coaches of the two sides have a lot of connections, and Trail Blazers head coach Zhang Weiping has played under Richard for many years, and with Richard's departure, he has taken the position of head coach of the Trail Blazers.

led the Trail Blazers for a season and a half, Zhang Weiping's performance can be regarded as satisfying the Trail Blazers fans, which can be regarded as futile.

As for the head coach of the Eastern team, it is undoubtedly Richard, and two-thirds of the All-Stars participating in this year's competition have the label of Richard.

This is terrifying, and it is no wonder that Richard now has a fairly significant voice in the alliance.

These sub-stars are quite supportive of Richard, representing two-thirds of the league's high-end combat power on Richard's side, and it is strange that he has no right to speak.

……

Players from both sides began to warm up, triggering a burst of screams from the fans at the scene.

What's more embarrassing is that, as the host, no one from this year's Hawks has been selected as an All-Star......

During the warm-up session, some reporters began to come on the pitch to interview the players.

Jordan is naturally a big favorite to be interviewed, and countless reporters surround Jordan, wanting to get first-hand information from Jordan.

"Michael, will you continue to play in the league after this season?" A reporter raised the issue that everyone was most concerned about.

That is, whether Jordan will retire after playing this season.

The significance of this retirement is completely different from Jordan's previous two retirements......

Jordan is now 40 years old, and coincidentally tonight is Jordan's fortieth birthday.

Jordan, who was born on February 17, 1963, is February 17, 2003, which is not his 40th birthday......

If he really retires this time, then Jordan may have no possibility of making a comeback, and it is estimated that he will say goodbye to the court forever.

Jordan waved his hand, "I really don't know about this kind of thing. ”

"I could retire at the end of this season, or maybe I could play for another two years and try to bring the Wizards to the playoffs before I retire."

Maybe now the playoffs are Jordan's only grievance, he didn't bring the Wizards to the playoffs after his comeback last season, and this season is also quite hanging.

At present, the Wizards are ranked ninth in the East, although the gap from the eighth is not big, but no one can say anything about this, and they may end up stuck out of the playoffs.

Seeing that Jordan's expression was quite depressed, the reporters were also very interested in not asking about this topic.

"It's your birthday tonight, Michael, are you thinking about getting the All-Star MVP tonight and giving yourself a birthday present?" The reporter asked the fans about the topic that is quite related.

What they didn't expect was that Jordan shook his head directly.

"No, not at all, man, do you think I care about a little All-Star MVP?"

"It's the age of young people now, and I would prefer that young players in the East can win this MVP, such as Yao Ming......"

"If Yao Ming can win this MVP, I think he definitely deserves it, this young player, I quite admire, in my opinion, he may be no less than O'Neal's center."

"Give him some time, and he will definitely rule this alliance!"

Jordan did not hesitate to praise his words of praise at all, and praised Yao Ming fiercely......

Many reporters looked at each other, what do you mean? Jordan is so optimistic about Yao Ming?

Could it be that Jordan knew that Richard might deduct his playing time, and then deliberately said this kind of excuse to save face for a while?

"Michael, the reason you don't want to win the MVP, is it because of Richard?" A reporter asked with a frown.

"What are you kidding, I'm pretty good friends with Richard, in fact, he's called me before and asked if I wanted to win the MVP."

"I simply told him I didn't want to ......"

"I have a feeling that you may have misunderstood Richard, that he may be the most successful young coach in this league, and that he may become the most successful head coach in the entire NBA history in a few years."

"He's a manager with a good character, otherwise he wouldn't have been such a good friend with me."

"I, Jordan, see people very accurately, Richard is a good person......"

Maybe Jordan won't be able to blow it anymore, so the conversation will stop here.

A group of reporters complained in their hearts, but you, Richard has a good personality?!

Okay, you little mushroom......

This product is recognized as a manic, as a head coach, he can go on the court and fight with people, where can he see that his personality is good.

And you Jordan has an eye for people? Surely this is not a joke......

Seeing that the reporters rolled their eyes, Jordan smiled awkwardly, accidentally blowing a little too much.

……

A long whistle rang out over the arena, signaling that the game was about to begin.

The starting lineups of both sides appeared, and at the referee's whistle, the All-Star Game officially began.

O'Neal jumped the ball and got the first possession.

Then Byron Davis assisted Kobe Bryant and scored a mid-range shot.

It was the turn of the offensive round in the East, after Maddy dribbled to the frontcourt, he pulled out his hand directly, but the result was that the iron missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Clark, who passed the ball directly to Yao Ming.

In the face of O'Neal's single defense, Yao Ming was not afraid, and he made a move and cut two points.

O'Neal's face was a little ugly, this was his first time playing against Yao Ming, and the Pistons had not played against the Lakers in the previous regular season.

This heavenly hook made O'Neill feel that the Chinese kid in front of him was a little difficult.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Yao Ming well, so that someone would talk about Yao Ming every day to surpass himself......

This year's All-Star ballot really scared O'Neal.

Yao Ming had nearly twice as many votes as O'Neal, and if the Chinese kid were in the west, he could probably squeeze out his All-Star starter.

Thinking about himself playing as an All-Star as a substitute, O'Neal felt a nervous scalp.

Yao Ming's strength is good, even O'Neill has to admit this, but he feels that if Yao Ming really wants to face himself, he will definitely be beaten.

Right now, this All-Star Game is the best chance to prove that you can beat Yao Ming!

……

But what makes O'Neal quite painful is that Kobe Bryant is a fucking crazy man in the West, and he doesn't give him a chance to shoot at all.

After a few minutes of playing in the first quarter, Yao Ming got help from his teammates on the court, and the score was getting higher and higher.

O'Neal, on the other hand, didn't get too much offensive possession, that is, he grabbed an offensive rebound and played a secondary offense.

Suffice it to say, no matter how powerful a center striker is, if he doesn't pass the ball to him at the back, he can only be reduced to a blue-collar player.

O'Neill is in this tragic situation right now, he has no strength, but he has no chance to show it.

Yao Ming has scored 10 points in 5 of 8 shots in just a few minutes.

"Doot toot!"

The referee blew the whistle for the timeout, and a substitution was made on the Western side, with O'Neal being substituted for Kevin Garnett.

Under normal circumstances, the MVP of this All-Star Game is won by Garnett.

Duncan was also substituted and replaced with Big Ben.

What makes O'Neill quite painful is that after Big Ben appeared on the stage, he seemed to be like a wandering spirit, and it was too obvious to release water to Yao Ming......

Yao Ming slashed four points in a row.

Richard's side also made substitutions to give other All-Stars some opportunities to perform.

Yao Ming scored 14 points in the first quarter, and if he continues to play according to this momentum, as long as the East wins tonight, Yao Ming is almost certain to win the All-Star MVP.

"Lee, do you have any plans to invest in the team?" The second quarter of the game on the court has begun, and Jordan is already too lazy to play, sitting on the sidelines and chatting with Richard.

"Huh? Michael, why do you ask this? Richard frowned and looked at Jordan.

"I have sold all my shares in the Wizards now, and it is estimated that I will retire completely after this season."

"But I'm still reluctant to play this field, and if I can, I want to build a team."

Richard was shocked, Jordan can't get any inside information, right?

Is it hard to say that the Charlotte Bobcats are already starting to form now?

Charlotte Bobcats' original owner, naturally, was not Jordan, he was a later shareholder.

It's also quite interesting to say that the formation of the Bobcats is also quite interesting, and their owner is named Robert Johnson, who is a black man.

The reason why he was selected to build the thirtieth team of the NBA was completely due to the pressure of public opinion.

At present, the owners of the twenty-nine teams in the league have not a single black man......

You must know that in the NBA league, black people are the absolute protagonists, but there is not a single black person in the boss, which makes people wonder if the NBA league is racist.

In this case, the league management committee had no choice but to choose Johnson to build the Charlotte Bobcats.

"Michael, what do you know?" Richard asked, wide-eyed.

Jordan nodded, "That's right, I did get the news that the NBA will be expanding, and this time the expansion will be in Charlotte." ”

"However, it will definitely take a lot of time to expand the army, and it is estimated that this news will not be made public until the year after tomorrow."

Richard was shocked, and sure enough, it was Charlotte Bobcat.
