From today on is the king

Chapter 485 483. Substitute
"Watt?" Liu Mang looked at Jordan on the stage, never expecting that Jordan would choose to retire today!
This is unexpected!
This year, Jordan is very healthy. He has played 52 games this season without losing a single game. His average of 20+6+4 per game is still an All-Star performance, and his shooting percentage has been greatly improved compared to last season, reaching 40.00%.

The original Jordan played 82 games this year. He was supposed to surpass the famous Lakers AC-Green and become the oldest full-time player in NBA history. Jordan, who is two days away from turning 40, will surpass AC-Green’s 38-year-old full-time NBA record this season. The team hit the playoffs.

Liu Mang didn't expect Jordan to retire now!

In the end, Jordan said the phrase Jordan-out, but Liu Mang just wanted Jordan to say this sentence, so that the future little blacksmith could not pretend to be forced when he retired. Unexpectedly, Jordan retired directly!

This is simply unexpected, Jordan is playing better and better this year!
Everyone was also shocked. Except for the relaxed Wizards owner who came to the scene, no one else thought that Jordan would announce his retirement today!
Seeing that after Jordan finished his retirement declaration, his face was relaxed. He really enjoyed the fact that he is retiring now. Liu Mang felt his nose sour.

Yes, indeed, Liu Mang loves to complain about Jordan, but Liu Mang feels the kind of care from the elders, which is rare in the cruel place of the NBA.

Liu Mang now has only one thought, to help Jordan win the All-Star MVP!

Not just for the task, this time I want to accomplish this goal from the bottom of my heart!
It's just that Liu Mang still wants to complain about Jordan, if you retire, just retire!Why did Mao add difficulty to his All-Star MVP?What else did you say that you don't want others to let you!Isn't this embarrassing the young master!
……

Jordan's retirement announcement caused an uproar, but many people chose to accept it.

Including most players.

Just like in the 2015-2016 season, when Kobe dragged his body that was reimbursed for three consecutive years and played far below his level, many Kobe fans who entered the NBA at that time did not want to play against Kobe because that was not Kobe in their memory.

Jordan's early retirement this time, in some respects, has made many players and fans feel lucky. It is certainly impossible for Jordan to make any big waves in the playoffs, especially when the record has been tied by the Eagles. It is not very possible to turn around and squeeze into the top eight.

Instead of watching this kind of Jordan struggling on the court without dominance, many fans are happy about Jordan's retirement.

Just like when Kobe retired, even O'Neal came to bless him.

Especially Kobe, who has always regarded Jordan as an idol, he decided to play the last game in Jordan, making Jordan feel a game that he will never regret!

That is, go all out!
After some commotion, people chose to bless Jordan's retirement. Amid the applause of all the people present, the stage was removed. After the final pre-game special performance, the All-Star Game will begin.

Barkley is probably the person who wants Jordan to retire the most. When he saw Jordan struggling so much on the court, he was the one who was most upset. This is the man who pushed him to rub against in the finals, but now he is being ravaged every day.

Therefore, Barkley was very excited to bring David Stern, who was still lamenting how Jordan left, to the court.

And one more show at the end?The All-Stars in the East and West happened to have something to discuss, so they all walked to the bench to give up their positions.

Barkley looked at Liu Mang who walked to the bench with McGrady, Iverson and others, and ran up quickly.

"Ace, don't you want to dance together? Why are you leaving?" Barkley asked dissatisfied.

"I dance? I'm going to play a game soon, how can I dance?" Liu Mang refused decisively.

Buckley stared and said, "You promised to dance together this afternoon!"

"Ah? When did I agree? What I said was that you join my dance troupe to dance together. Look, my dance troupe is here!" Liu Mang pointed to a group of people in uniforms who came out of the staff passageway.

Barkley thinks about it, really thinks this is what Liu Mang said this afternoon!
Seeing Liu Mang turn around and leave, Barkley felt that he had been tricked!

Liu Mang invited a group of ten domestic square dancers in their 50s and six local Atlanta square dancers in their 50s who were invited through the official event of the court sports station to serve as backup dancers for Barkley and David Stern, a total of [-] people.

The event is to watch the competition live, mainly to perform square dances on a stage that can be broadcast live all over the world, including air tickets, hotels, and clothing. This time, Liu Mang has spent all his money!

David Stern is very happy. A group of dance partners of similar age can dance awkwardly. Barkley feels that something is wrong, but he can only admit it.

Then Barkley and David Stern had the nickname of Friends of Middle-aged and Elderly Women at home and abroad.

Liu Mang's proposed performance method is fighting dance!

Surprisingly, David Stern danced very well!
David Stern became the vanguard of dancing with the aunts! 1 vs 16, strength vs Biao!
David Stern will never give up his power, this square... No, he is the boss in the NBA!

Barkley was very angry with Liu Mang, but he jumped and thought it was pretty good!

Barkley even felt that in the future, he could really go to the square to dance with the aunts who occupied many squares across the United States?
So, a big fat man and a white-haired old man competed against the aunts.

Not to mention, they danced really well, quite foreign, not as rustic as imagined, a fusion of street dance, folk dance, and even national standard, tap dance and other movements.

The square dance is completely popular this time!
In the history of square dancing, this year is a spring. A young man who loved to die drew a circle on the map of the United States of America...

……

……

The square dance that has become westernized, no, now even domestic aunts are more willing to use "NBA court dance" to describe their dance.

Although many uncles and aunts don’t know what the NBA is, the English name sounds foreign, especially with the addition of some young girls, which has made square dancing less popular after the recent months.

The main reason is that many songs have become English songs, rather than the songs of the square legend that dominated before.

Seeing that David Stern danced so strongly, the atmosphere that was originally a little sad because of Jordan's retirement was heated up again.

The players, in particular, screamed with excitement when they saw David Stern come out to entertain the public.

Originally, Jordan’s retirement is not a bad thing. Now the Wizards, Bucks, and Eagles have the same record. The Bucks played 50 games, the Wizards 52 games, and the Eagles 48 games.

Barkley blew up the scene again. He said that it was purely an accident, and he originally wanted to drag Liu Mang into the water...

……

Finally, after all the pre-game activities are over, the All-Star Game, which has become very different, may be the most symbolic All-Star Game in the history of the NBA. Jordan's last game began in the eyes of everyone!

Western starters: Francis, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Eastern starters: Iverson, Jordan, Carter, McGrady, Ratliff.

In the final preparation time just now, the All-Stars of the East and West have already discussed it. The All-Stars of the West decided to go all out, and the All-Stars of the East decided to go all out to win this MVP for Jordan!

After the start of the game, the Eastern team took the lead in gaining the advantage.

The starting lineup in the West is really not suitable for playing games. If it was an entertainment-like All-Star Weekend in the past, the three players in the West who are over [-] meters and above can still play, but when it becomes an official game, the weakness is too obvious.

Yao Ming in the inside line is still young, and basically can't play any role, except for the first two points by holding high and hitting high, then it becomes a cash machine later.

The Eastern Conference was already working hard to help Jordan get the final All-Star MVP, and they have played on a par with the Western Conference in history. If it wasn’t for Jermaine O’Neal’s foul, the Eastern Conference would have narrowly defeated the Western Conference. O'Neal made a foul, and Kobe deliberately gave the Eastern Conference a chance to win in overtime with three free throws and two free throws, which also gave Jordan a chance.

Because this is Jordan's retirement game, the head coaches of the East and West attach great importance to it. In the 6th minute of the first quarter, when the Eastern team scored 17 to 8, the Western team coach Adelman called a timeout and replaced Yao Ming's Duncan with O'Neal and Peja to enhance outside shooting and inside mobility.

On the Eastern side, Iverson, Carter, Jordan, O'Neal, and Ratliff were replaced.

Playing a regular lineup, the Eastern team is no longer the opponent of the Western team. Just like before, the Eastern team's lead at the beginning was gradually eroded by the West.

After the first quarter, the score has been caught up by the Western team, 39 to 37, and the Eastern team's lead is only two points!

During the intermission, coach Carlisle made adjustments to this game as a real game. Liu Mang got a chance to play, but the Eastern team coach Carlisle gave Liu Mang the position of running, catching and shooting.

Liu Mang has no complaints about this. When he found out that he seemed to be replacing Ray Allen's role, he was ready to do his best!There is no shortage of ball-handling points in the East. Whether it is Iverson, McGrady, or Kidd, they are all masters in organizing offenses.

It's time to play, this time Liu Mang is going to show off another ability of his.

It's time for a wave of yourself as a 3D player!

Liu Mang knew that he played more to make up for the lack of three-point firepower in the East.

What Liu Mang has to do now is to try his best to shoot the three-pointers that were missed in the outside space in this game. Moreover, Liu Mang ignored a problem, that is, the Eastern All-Star lineup originally had Ray Allen.

Although because of Ray Allen's current style of play, the West has no shortage of pitchers, so the effect is not great, but the East did not benefit much from it, and Liu Mang replaced Ray Allen's role.

Moreover, Liu Mang has his own advantages compared to Ray Allen, his defense is better!
