Reboot McGrady

Chapter 121: Chapter 122

For the Philadelphia All-Star Game, each team can be allocated 100 tickets. Although the 76ers are the host, the number of tickets is also very scarce and cannot meet the needs of fans.

The latest troubles, besides the tickets, are the conflicts between Iverson and Larry Brown. The two had problems again. At the press conference before the All-Star Game, Iverson, as the son of Philadelphia, did not appear on the scene , which is surprising.

You know, the All-Star Game is broadcast to the audience through NBC, TNT, BET, NBA official website TV and Canadian TV stations.

Iverson's irrational behavior made the league's top executives unhappy.However, the Iverson team's crisis public relations were not bad, and it was immediately announced that Iverson would wear the No. 6 jersey to pay tribute to the legendary 76ers player Julius Erving.

Of course, Julius Erving isn't dead yet.

McGrady came to Philadelphia early to enjoy the All-Star holiday in advance.He only has one event in the main game, and the rest of the time, he just wanders around and chats with other people casually.

"Tracey, you brought me a gift again." Ray Allen is in good spirits. Although the Bucks lost to the Eagles before, it's just a game and they won't mind too much. "I can't take your gift every time. , this is a gift from my sponsor."

He also took out a small gift box, which was a premium set for a male product sponsor.Maddie laughed, "I like this kind of gift, it's great!"

"It can delay the time and increase the hardness!" Ray Allen showed a meaningful expression, "I see you often play celebrities, be careful of kidney deficiency."

The two chatted for a while, and McGrady greeted Turkoglu and asked him to get acquainted with several players.Turkoglu participated in the Rookie Challenge. This season, only McGrady has entered the All-Star lineup of the Eagles. Among the others, Turkoglu came with him.

"Boss", Turkoglu was holding a red wine glass and wearing a neat suit. Attending such a social occasion, his clothes were a little tight.

After all, he is not McGrady, and there is no big brand to design. McGrady's clothing is specially followed up by sponsors and sewn by professional designers, so it is very close-fitting and decent.

"This is Ray Allen, the king of three-pointers. I think he will definitely be the player with the most three-pointers in the league in the future." After McGrady introduced Ray Allen, he introduced Kidd and Wood Barrel, " This is the triple-double king among point guards; this is the former Eagles player, Dikembe Mutombo, a well-known center in the league."

Uncle Mutong used to play for the Eagles, so he immediately joked, "If I was still in the Eagles, I would be able to hang out with you! I really envy these young people."

At this time, Iverson walked by with someone, glanced at Uncle Mutong, and did not speak.Uncle Mu Tong stopped smiling immediately and smiled awkwardly.

On the other side, Pierce and Antoine Walker greet Jordan.

Jordan was already familiar with participating in the All-Star Game, so he didn't care too much. No matter who came to chat with him, he always looked calm and breezy.It seems to see through the world.

Turkoglu followed McGrady and felt relaxed. After all, in such an occasion, if there is no strength to support it, it is difficult to attract attention.

Just as McGrady was about to leave, he saw Mike Miller rushing over, "Boss McGrady, I finally found you. I haven't seen you for a long time."

With a sincere face, the younger brother who was in the Heat last season.This year is also participating in the rookie game, like Turkoglu, representing the second-year team.

"This is Mike Miller, my little brother in the Heat. Mike, this is Hedo Turkoglu, and he is also my good teammate now." McGrady introduced them to each other.

After sitting for a while, seeing Jordan in the rest area, he took the initiative to walk over.

No one bothers you in the rest area, except that you can't do AI in public, I guess other things are left alone.Especially in the private space of the players, there will be no media presence.

Without a gift, Maddie opened the cigar box in his hand. It was the brand reserved by Her Majesty the Queen of Gurkha, and it was a small gift from his previous boss Chambers.Facing Jordan, "Try the taste? It is said that the previous president liked it."

Take care of the flue-cured tobacco, cut the head, light it, and spray the smoke through the mouth, with a unique fragrance.

Jordan smiled, lit one, took a sip, and felt very comfortable, "I didn't expect you to have such a good product. It seems that your commercial value is higher than I imagined. Are you interested in changing your career and endorsement for Nike?" Jordan?"

"It's just a cigarette, so high?" McGrady joked, "Young people have young people's ideas. You successful people think about buying a team after retirement. I just want to play and enjoy life while playing."

Jordan nodded slightly, stood up, cigar between his fingers, "Okay! You are a smart player, I like your model. In the All-Star Game, I will try my best to pass the ball to you and let you grab an AMVP."

Then Jordan left, taking the whole box of cigars with him.I'll go, McGrady muttered, but fortunately there was only a small half of it left, and I asked Chambers to send a few more boxes later.

"Tracey, alone?" Duncan leaned over, looking helplessly at the players outside, "They didn't understand me when I told a joke."

"Because your jokes are not funny." McGrady threw a small box over, a small gift from the sponsor, a string of gold chains, "Go home and be a good woman, nothing else is important. Apart from playing ball, you seem to know nothing. "

"Aha, it seems to be." Duncan is not angry, but a little comfortable. He likes the simple way of dialogue. "This year, I plan to continue to be the background board. This is also my life."

"The All-Star Game is not important, give me an AMVP?" McGrady responded with a smile, "If you can break out of the West, we may still meet in the finals."

He has full confidence in the Eagles, currently in the East, no team can stop them, of course, the premise is that the team must remain healthy.The Nets and Celtics, although powerful, are not invincible.

Garnett walked past the table, snorted, and shook his face.

He doesn't like dealing with Duncan and Tracy McGrady very much. One of them overwhelms him in terms of strength and puts him in an embarrassing position as a power forward. A supernova is enviable and even more unpleasant.

"Tracey, I finally found you. Thank you for the gift!" Kobe Bryant walked over with a smile, "I heard your previous interview, hahaha..."

In previous interviews, McGrady praised Kobe, and even called him the league's number one shooting guard, comparing him to the Lakers' victory factor, which made Kobe feel good.

In the morning, McGrady also sent a small gift from the sponsor to Kobe, which made Kobe even more satisfied.So, he looked for Maddie everywhere, ready to return a small gift.

"The idiot is here too, what's the matter with you? If it's okay, I'll chat with my brother, you go to play elsewhere first." Kobe looked at Duncan and spoke proactively.

Duncan shrugged and smiled warmly, "No problem."

"Hello? You said I proposed to the team to trade O'Neal, how about this?" Kobe sat down and chatted with McGrady about exciting topics.

"I can't intervene in the internal affairs of your team. Maybe we will become opponents in the finals." McGrady hurriedly stopped, looking serious, then thought about it, and then said from the perspective of a friend, "But as far as I am concerned , In the Eagles, being the boss of the team still feels very cool. All the pressure is on my shoulders, but the glory will also belong to me."

Do you want to be the boss?
