Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 634 Michael Jordan, there he is!
With the whole world watching, Jordan acknowledged what Kobe had surpassed him.

This caused a huge response in the entire NBA world. People who know Jordan know what kind of person he is. It is absolutely extremely difficult for him to admit that others have surpassed him. Even if there is even the slightest possibility, Jordan would never admit such a thing.

In other words, in Jordan's view, Kobe's current achievements and strength in the NBA have indeed surpassed the Jordan of the past.

Although many NBA experts, celebrities and media now believe that the current NBA legends, Goat, are stronger than Jordan in the past, but this is just a saying. As long as Jordan does not give in, Jordan will always be the number one in the NBA. No matter how strong Yao Ming and McGrady are, they can only fight against the Jordan of that year.

And now, Jordan admits that he is not as good as Kobe. This is not only about himself, but also about the era of the 1990s!
In other words, that era has been surpassed by the current era!

At that time in the NBA, there definitely weren’t so many such powerful players, and it was absolutely impossible to have such a terrifying team!

"Rather than saying that Michael Jordan admitted that he was not as good as Kobe, it is better to say that Michael Jordan admitted that the era created by Coach D for the NBA is unparalleled. That is why Michael Jordan came back after so many years of retirement, because he who had no goals back then now has them. A better environment and a better era will create the strongest Michael Jordan in the future!"

"Michael Jordan only admitted that he was not as good as Kobe Bryant and some other players in the past. However, Jordan never admitted that he was a loser. He still wanted to be the strongest winner. That's why he appeared in Coach D's team. From now on, Michael Jordan is no longer a high god, but starts from scratch and walks on the road of climbing again!"

“It takes courage to come down from the peak and then go back up again, and it takes incredible courage.

And Michael Jordan, right now, he is the most courageous person in the world!"

"If it were Michael Jordan's current situation, I think most people would not make the same choice as him, even if no one has admitted it, even if they know it is not the truth, but who can give up the throne on their butt?!"

"Let us applaud Michael Jordan's courage, let us cheer for Michael Jordan's greatness!"

"Having Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Yao, Tracy McGrady, and Coach D is the NBA's luck, and it's also the luck of basketball. We are now experiencing the greatest era of basketball!"

"Congratulations to Kobe Bryant, congratulations to TMC, this is the most perfect turnaround I have ever seen!!!"

The commentators were cheering crazily, and the fans, celebrities, players, legends, and reporters at the scene, regardless of their stance, were all sincerely applauding Kobe and McGrady on the court, as well as Jordan for his noble performance just now.

For them, this game witnessed one of the greatest moments in NBA history and was definitely a pleasant surprise.

When they came here to watch this game, they never thought that they would witness Michael Jordan step down from the throne on his own initiative.

Rather than saying that Kobe pulled Jordan down from the throne, it would be better to say that Jordan took the initiative to come down from the throne.

There is only one scenario in which Kobe pulls Jordan down from the throne. That is, Jordan is in the stands and Jordan has not returned. Kobe says to Jordan in the stands, Michael, now, I am a god!
Kobe does not need Jordan's consent, because most of the audience now know how empty Jordan's position as the God of Basketball is.

God, you must be number one in both strength and honor.

Kobe now has 8 championships and has surpassed everyone in terms of strength.

Although McGrady and Yao Ming do not have enough honors, their strength is recognized to be superior, and the superiority is not just a little bit.

If Jordan had not made any contribution and remained in the stands, it would mean that Jordan had already become a dead body in a grave, just like Russell or Magic Johnson in the past, who had already lost their future possibilities and could only watch themselves being surpassed one by one.

If this is the scenario, Kobe would be pulling Jordan down from the altar.

But now it’s different, Jordan is back on the court!
Jordan's future still has unlimited possibilities!
Jordan chose to walk down on his own initiative, and then continue climbing up the mountain!
There is no doubt that Jordan is great. In fact, it is great enough that he can return to the court and continue to fight in the NBA.

When Jordan came back, he actually acknowledged that Kobe and others had surpassed him.

So, what Kobe did just now was very much giving face to Jordan. So, after Jordan acknowledged Kobe, he took the initiative to hug Kobe and also took the initiative to hug McGrady.

The farewell ceremony of Kobe and McGrady was very touching, with various famous scenes one after another, which was very exciting. I don't know how many Kobe fans and maltose were in tears on the sidelines.

Their idols received the most perfect farewell blessings. For fans, their idols were able to fulfill their ultimate pursuits, which was basically equivalent to fulfilling their biggest dreams in life. This was undoubtedly the most touching moment.

Even Du Kang was happy for them.

As a coach, and even as the initiator of this incident, Du Kang feels very accomplished, because this is his work, his greatest work!

He doesn't know whether Kobe and McGrady can achieve achievements surpassing Jordan if he has not intervened in this world. This has not happened and no one knows.

But judging from the clues, it seems a little impossible.

Kobe had already started to go downhill at that time, and the Lakers team was about to collapse. No, it was not about to collapse, but had already collapsed.

The Lakers team with the Big Five back then was perhaps the most difficult team to coach in NBA history. Even with a system, every step was still thrilling.

Needless to say, if it weren't for my intervention, McGrady might have retired from the NBA and no one would want him.

Therefore, without his own world, it is highly likely that Jordan will still be the same Jordan, the lofty god of basketball. Jordan will never think about returning to the NBA, and the NBA will definitely not have the attraction to bring Jordan back.

Everything became completely different because of the gentle flap of his little butterfly's wings.

So, Jordan, Kobe and McGrady hugged each other and came to Du Kang together.

"Kobe, TMC, you deserve this. You don't need to thank anyone. I know very well that not everyone can get here, even with my help. You are unique!"

Du Kang hugged Kobe and McGrady respectively and gave them high praise.

They both really deserve such evaluation.

Kobe's fighting spirit and desire for goals are incredible. Anyone else, even if they have Kobe's talent, can't do better than Kobe. Killing oneself to become a god, this kind of basketball way is not something that anyone can master. Except Kobe, no one can do such a thing for basketball.

And there is McGrady, the McGrady in Mengka. No one knows the pain he has suffered better than him. McGrady collapsed, and then he was rebuilt. Collapse and rebuilding, this is just a mere phrase, but the hardships and difficulties involved were caused by countless suicides.
If he hadn't come to terms with it, Du Kang had no idea what McGrady would be like, whether he would go completely crazy.

In fact, even if you can persist, you will not be able to complete the task in the end if you do not have a strong basketball talent.

For McGrady, he may not have the same strong will as Kobe, but he has completely combined his talent and will to become a nearly perfect striker. For Du Kang, these two people are also works worth remembering forever.

"Michael, you will get back to that position. Believe me, you can definitely get back to that position, and you will bring that position to an incredible height!"

Du Kang certainly has more expectations for Jordan. Perhaps Du Kang's expectations for him are no less than those for Jordan himself.

Even for Jordan himself, he didn't have such strong expectations.

Will Jordan really have big ambitions when he returns to the NBA this time?

Of course there are, but, although Jordan’s pursuit is big, it is not that big.

In fact, for Jordan, if he could compete with those powerful young players of the new era, it would be worth the trip. He does not need so many championships or MVPs. He just wants to feel what it is like to be the strongest in basketball.

This is the ultimate dream of a basketball player.

But it is obvious that for Du Kang, Jordan is not just about experiencing the current basketball, Du Kang also hopes that Jordan can lead the current basketball to a higher level.

Every era has its own leader. When the NBA has reached its current level under his promotion, if there is still one person who is suitable to be the leader of this new era, it is of course Jordan, without a doubt Jordan!
Michael Jordan will usher in the next era!
Just like Jordan opened the next era of Magic-Bird dominance.

Now Jordan is also about to start the next era after the departure of McGrady and Kobe!
Only Jordan has the growth potential to do this.

After the touching farewell ceremony of Kobe and McGrady, the final game 7 of the NBA Finals is finally about to begin.

Popovich, do you want to tell me how much you are looking forward to this game?

In fact, for the Lakers, there is definitely no expectation.

The Lakers, who lost Yao Ming, almost had their entire system collapse when facing the Bobcats.

Yao Ming's importance to the Lakers became clearest after they lost him, with the offensive and defensive systems collapsing.

And what about the Bobcats?

Although the Bobcats also lost O'Neal and Grant Hill, to be honest, although O'Neal and Grant Hill are strong, their roles in the Bobcats system are not that big.

The main reason is that the Bobcats have a variety of systems, with many top systems, while the Lakers have only one top system, which is the system centered around Yao Ming, Kobe and McGrady. Although Jokic and Antetokounmpo's system is also very strong and can defeat the Thunder, compared to those of the Bobcats, this system is not that strong.

Simply put, if the Lakers system of Yao Ming, Kobe and McGrady is 100 points, then the top systems of the Bobcats are 98 points, and the system of Jokic and Antetokounmpo is 95 points.

The Lakers are not weak without Yao Ming, they are still very strong, but not as strong as the Bobcats.

Therefore, after Coach D announced that O'Neal and Hill would not play, the Lakers' situation went from being a hopeless situation to a life-or-death situation.

Although the Lakers are now in a life-and-death situation, Popovich will certainly not give up as long as there is a chance of life.

So these days, Popovich has been thinking about the Lakers' way out.

Facing such a Bobcats team and Coach D who can now do whatever he wants, where is the Lakers' way out?

After watching this farewell ceremony that had nothing to do with him, Popovich understood a little.

Tonight's farewell ceremony was very exciting. He hoped that when he and Duncan and others leave, they can also hold such a farewell ceremony in the Holy City.

When Duncan quietly left the Spurs and retired, it was definitely a pain in his life.

Not to mention the nationwide tour like other historical superstars, at least in the Holy City, Duncan definitely deserves a perfect farewell.

However, because of Leonard, the Spurs were in internal strife at the time and there were no conditions at all. Duncan also felt that as a leader, he failed to keep the team stable and he was also responsible. He also had no face to hold any big ceremony. In the end, Duncan quietly left the Spurs and retired.

Until Coach D brought Duncan back to the NBA.

In a sense, he still needs to thank Coach D. If it weren't for Coach D, he wouldn't have given Duncan, Parker and Ginobili the chance to make up for it.

Now is not the time to say thank you, now is the time to think about how to defeat the Bobcats and Coach D.

"Thanks to Coach D for bringing Kobe and McGrady's emotions to the extreme right now."

And this is the Lakers' chance to survive after a narrow escape from death!

In the tactical arrangements before the game starts.

Popovich looked at the solemn Lakers players, and then looked at Kobe and McGrady who could not hide their excitement.

Popovich just said one sentence, without arranging any tactics or drawing a tactical board, he just said one sentence.

"Kobe, TMC, congratulations on surpassing Michael Jordan!"

"In this game, Kobe, TMC, you can throw whatever you want, you can hit whatever you want, you can do anything on the court, and we will support you in doing anything!"

"because……"

"Michael Jordan, there he is!"

This is the best stimulant!
