Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 501 Welcome back to the NBA, Michael Jordan!

The opening game between the Lakers and Bobcats started very touchingly.

Many NBA fans and viewers have never seen such a long opening.

After half an hour of touching video, the Lakers presented last season's NBA championship rings.

The first person to come up to receive the ring was not the meritorious service of the Lakers last season, nor the three leaders of Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, but Du Kang, the head coach of the Lakers last season.

After Du Kang was the first to receive the championship ring, it was the turn of other Lakers players.

What is very interesting is that after receiving the championship ring, Kobe Bryant, the current head coach of the Lakers, walked to the Bobcats with a step of disowning his relatives.

When the Lakers handed out championship rings, the Bobcats players and coaches all applauded the Lakers.

Because of Du Kang, the relationship between the Lakers and Bobcats must be very special.

Blessings must be given.

Because although this seems to be a thank you, it seems to be showing off no matter how you look at it.

I have to say that O'Neal is still very witty.

Now Kobe has definitely surpassed O'Neal in an all-round way.

Before you came over, I went over first. I have to say that O'Neal's skills are indeed quite good.

There is also Kidd, who was Kobe's good brother and comrade-in-arms when he was in the US national team. The relationship between the two of them, both enemies and friends, is also quite close.

The Bobcats did have a lot of friends of Kobe's.

I have to say that Teacher Zhang Lili’s reason is quite reasonable.

"Hahahaha, I'm sure Kobe came here to humiliate Shaq and tell Shaq that eight championship rings are twice as many as four championship rings. One Kobe is equal to two O'Neals, hahahaha..."

"Hahahaha, I went over before you came over, hahahaha, Shaq did a good job, hahahaha..."

Another example is O'Neal, a former teammate who won three championships with Kobe. The scene of the reconciliation between the two in the All-Star Game that year is an eternal classic in the NBA.

"The Bobcats players and coaches have many acquaintances with Kobe, so Kobe should come and thank him."

However, even if the Bobcats players wish the Lakers, there is actually no need for the Lakers players to come and thank them.

How can I make myself feel less uncomfortable?

After all, Kobe's current achievements are indeed quite Dior!
Eight championships may not be so perfect in terms of quality, but when the quantity increases, it can change qualitatively. Especially after Kobe's strength has really reached the realm of gods, it is really a double blessing, even more It's awesome.

However, as the top Kezi in the country, Teacher Zhang Lili quickly thought of a reason to defend Kezi.

Not only Barkley was smiling from ear to ear, but Kenny Smith next to him was also smiling from ear to ear at this time.

Seeing O'Neal's very witty move, the Lakers fans at the scene were in a small town. Even Barkley and Kenny Smith were stunned by O'Neal's wit.

Then, O'Neal walked towards Kobe.

During the offseason last season, those NBA media who like to rank historical status ranked Kobe Bryant's historical status to second place.

This poisonous snake must be here to show off now, and it must be poisonous to him!
The expression on O'Neal's face darkened instantly at the thought of being scolded by Kobe.

The Lakers were able to steadily reach the finals last season because of the supervision of Ko, Mai, and Yao. Otherwise, Popovich would not have been able to really control the Lakers. Popovich would not have been able to control the Lakers. The method is to completely control the Lakers to implement their own tactical play. The Lakers were able to defeat the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals and advance to the Finals. Popovich’s contribution is first, Yao Maike’s second is the contribution, and Du Kang’s voice at the last moment is the contribution. third.

When Kobe walked up to him, he took the initiative and went over to give Kobe a hug and congratulations. Couldn't he be the guest?

MMP!

And now, it's O'Neal's turn. Things are really turning around.

There is also GDP. Kobe and Duncan almost became teammates and All-Star partners for many years.

Therefore, he got the eighth championship ring of his career. Although this championship ring has nothing to do with him, Kobe Bryant did not play any game on the court, but there is no doubt that he can win this championship ring. Yes, he did not play on the court as a player, but he gave the Lakers great support off the court as a supervisor and assistant coach.

Especially someone like Kobe who came over specifically to thank me.

In fact, O'Neal himself felt the same way when he saw Kobe's disapproval of his relatives.

Even if Kobe is not so humiliating, his slightest move is enough to make O'Neal uncomfortable.

But now, it is naturally different.

For a moment, the entire Staples laughed wantonly again.

The reason why Kobe and O'Neal staged a reconciliation drama was because O'Neal and Kobe had similar achievements and it was difficult to widen the gap in grade.

For example, several assistant coaches of the Bobcats are all former assistant coaches of the Lakers. Among them, Nash was also a good teammate of Kobe Bryant when he was with the Lakers.

Therefore, when Kezi received his eighth championship ring, he felt absolutely at ease.

"I can't wait to see Shaq's extremely ugly expression, hahahaha..."

Isn’t that just eight championship rings?

However, O'Neill's words were a bit false in his heart.

Without the three I gave you, you are only five, so what’s the big deal! !

In fact, just when teacher Zhang Lili said that Kobe went to the Bobcats to thank his friends, the commentators in the United States, especially Barkley, actually said that Kobe came to humiliate O'Neal.

Last season was Barkley's comeback on the court, with O'Neal and Kenny Smith enjoying themselves on the sidelines.

O'Neal was ready to feel uncomfortable.

Looking at O'Neal walking over with a smile, Kobe's eyes narrowed and then opened, without any change in the smile on his face.

Then, O'Neal's bear hug came over!
When O'Neal was almost about to hug Kobe, Kobe actually avoided it! ! ! !

O'Neal, who embraced the failure, was dumbfounded.

Even more dumbfounded were the audience members who had just burst into laughter.

Staples, who was laughing wildly, turned into dead silence in an instant.

Kobe is unwilling to accept O'Neal's hug?
Do you think O'Neal is not worthy of hugging you?

Kobe is trying to mess with O'Neal. Once again, he wants to mess with O'Neal regardless of his face!
Rejecting a hug publicly like this must be a big deal!
Just when the Lakers fans at the scene felt that their two little babies were about to quarrel again...

"Shaq, I'm sorry, you are too big. I dare not hug a big shark. Mamba will be eaten."

Ok? !

What the hell? ! ! !

Shouldn't we refuse the hug at this time and then use another wave of mouth escape output?

This is not quite right!

Are you planning to break up with O'Neal? ! So, Kozi really didn't come here just to mess with O'Neal? !
Seeing the smile on Kezi's face, O'Neal himself was dumbfounded.

So, I’m overthinking it, and this venomous snake has no intention of messing with me at all?
How can this be? !
If it were him, he would never let this poisonous snake go.

If he wins eight championships after leaving Kobe, he won't have to show off in front of Kobe every day and try to reconcile. I'll have to fight with this guy for the rest of his life! ! !

So, this poisonous snake has now changed gender?

Or does he really believe that we have reconciled?
Isn't this guy usually very smart?
Are you so stupid this time?
Very surprised, O'Neal was very surprised.

Just when O'Neal and the entire audience were surprised, Kobe had already arrived in front of Jordan.

Jordan did not go to his good friends, hugged O'Neal, or went to Nash and Kidd. He walked directly in front of Jordan.

Danzi looked at the smiling Kobe in front of him, and the expression on his face became serious.

Kobe.

This kid...

When he chooses to come back this season, he actually already knows what he will encounter in the NBA.

Back when he was with the Wizards, this kid was the person the NBA wanted to mess with the most.

In that All-Star Game that year, Kobe was playing his power forward and pioneer role, and he messed up the All-Star MVP that the NBA had prepared for him. In the end, the MVP trophy was given to Garnett.

The MVP trophy of that All-Star Game is definitely the most special trophy in NBA history. It is unique. That All-Star Game is well known to everyone. Michael Jordan’s last All-Star Game, the NBA official Thanks to his efforts in the NBA over the years, this very special All-Star Game MVP trophy was specially designed.

Faced with such a general trend and such expectations, no matter how unique his personality is, he must be given some face by Joe, because he ranked low in the All-Star voting and had a difficult time starting. Players with unique personalities and low emotional intelligence know how to make room for him and are willing to respect him and support him.

Danzi was very moved, and then rejected Maizi and Iverson. After all, isn't there one of the four major defenders who has not expressed his stance?

He also had to be reserved, and then Carter, who had the lowest emotional intelligence, felt uncomfortable.

Three requests and three concessions. Maizi and Iverson have both invited. It's your turn.

Faced with the moral abduction by public opinion and the media's questioning, Carter was really deceived. If he had known better, he would have stood up and given in.

You ask me to give in, can I?

"I am responsible for my fans and I will not give up my starting position!"

Then, Carter felt that the turbulent trend was unstoppable.

On the day of the All-Star Game, Carter said before the game that he would give up his starting position. Jordan deserved this honor.

The final result was that Carter successfully completed the last of three requests and three concessions, while Danzi reluctantly accepted Carter's concession.

That's it, everything is ready.

The ceremony of three invitations and three concessions has been completed, and the most special crown and scepter have been crafted. Now, he is waiting to be crowned as the God King that night with the attention of the whole world.

When everyone thought Jordan was going to end his career perfectly, Kobe stood up.

Then Garnett performed well in the second overtime, eventually leading the team to victory and defeating Jordan, and was crowned the final MVP.

After this All-Star game, the one who was criticized was not Garnett, who won the MVP, but Kobe, who did not have an MVP but disrupted Jordan's coronation.

Kobe was criticized by fans, experts, media, and celebrities for not respecting Jordan enough.

Many Jordan fans even think that there is something wrong with Kobe, who does things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. If you can win the MVP, you will have to mess with the situation. You can't get anything out of this mess, except losing Jordan's MVP. Got nothing.

Isn't this a pure unwillingness to benefit Jordan?

Therefore, Kezi was considered to be deliberately targeting Jordan and lacking respect for Jordan, so he really was not unjustly accused.

Dan Zi faced Marion with a sure win. Everyone has been waiting to see Jordan crowned, but you are the only one who wants to do it.

At that time, everyone suspected that the young people in the east and west were deliberately trying to adopt Jordan's mentality.

The entire All-Star Game was full of weirdness. Maizi and Iverson were scrambling for the show during regular time. Their efficiency and power seemed to be deliberately relying on Danzi's elder brother.

Then in overtime, Garnett on the opposite side deliberately leaned back in various ways, as if to tell Danzi that your time has passed. Even Garnett, who has a great jump shot, can retreat in various ways. I will send you away.

Finally, Garnett, who was named Jordan's MVP, deliberately tried to hurt Jordan after the game: "Isn't it just an All-Star MVP? Is it so big?"

The meaning of Garnett's words is worth pondering. Not only is this special MVP trophy big, but he also seems to be saying, isn't he an All-Star? Does the scene need to be that big? Again, he was asked three times and made three concessions, and he was crowned in advance.

It’s as if we are all NPCs.

At that point in time, when the four top guards and the four top forwards were at their peak, could they be willing to be actors for a mere retired Jordan?

That must be unwillingness.

It can be seen from Carter's unwillingness to let him start. The young people of that generation are quite conceited. Not to mention retired Jordan, even the peak Jordan, I dare to do it, right, Iverson.

Faced with the mentality of these young people, Jordan really had no choice in the end.

He even had to defend Kobe, saying that Kobe didn't mess with him on purpose.

It can only be said that although Danzi is powerful, even his teammates don't like him, let alone others.

Even Mr. Pi was unwilling to cooperate, let alone Kobe and the others.

In the end, he could only forgive Kobe and the others.

But, twelve years ago, did he really forgive Kobe and the others?
These young people are quite good at thinking.

Now, his heart still aches a little.

Therefore, a smile appeared on Jordan's face, and the smile was quite bright.

Seeing the smile on Jordan's face, the smiling Kobe narrowed his eyes.

"Welcome back to the NBA, Michael Jordan!"

Welcome back to the NBA, Michael Jordan!

Kobe's hand, wearing his eighth championship ring, pointed to Jordan in front!

For a moment, the whole world was silent!
Kobe!

Jordan!

And O'Neal behind them seemed to have become a supporting role!
On the surface, Kobe is messing with Jordan, but it seems that, in fact, he is still messing with O'Neal...

Or, this time, Kobe chose to do both.

No matter how.

This is destined to be a classic painting.
