"Oh, Michael, have you heard that the five All-Stars in the Eastern Conference will give up their positions to you!" O'Neal said in an exaggerated tone.

"Hahahaha, young people can't even walk when they see me. I'm just being polite." Jordan showed rare humility.

After Jordan arrived in Atlanta today, he felt refreshed. As soon as he arrived, he saw Carter's interview, saying that he would give it to him, and then Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and Liu Mang followed one after another. As for whether Ratliff said that he would give it to him,

Jordan didn't seem to see it, but when O'Neal said it, he took it seriously.

If Ratliff knew what O'Neal said, he would definitely kill this fat guy with a mouthful of Gatorade. Who said I would let him? You can't make the All-Stars and you want to drag me down?

O'Neal was chatting and laughing with Jordan and Olajuwon in the audience. As the big guys who have dominated the NBA in the past ten years, Duncan, the 1999 championship MVP, is missing.

As for Carter, Iverson, and McGrady on the side, they are like followers in front of these three big guys...

Yes, O'Neal is resting again today. He has just played ten consecutive regular season games. O'Neal said that he is a little tired and it is time to rest for a few days before playing a full star.

Kobe Bryant was so angry when he saw O'Neal calling a truce again that he refused to fight. No wonder this fat man didn't participate in pre-game interviews, which are a show-off thing!

Forget it, you can still win without a fat guy! Kobe has absolute confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have lost three of the Big Four in the summer of 2004, and even Odom would have come and still clamored to win the championship.

…

On the Eagles bench, Liu Mang was also unhappy.

If O'Neal doesn't play, the Hawks' chance of winning increases dramatically. When Liu Mang takes daily tasks, he can only reach level 3 at most, and he can score at least 20 points against Kobe's defense.

It is a fact that the dominance of the OK team has declined this year. O'Neal's peak years have passed. Of course, he is still the number one center in the league, and will be for many years to come. Among the active centers in the league, no one except O'Neal can reach the top.

He was a star player until Yao Ming became a killer and Howard reached his peak.

In terms of function, Ben Wallace has the effect of a top star, but on the offensive end, a team with him is basically equivalent to having one less offensive player, except when it comes to grabbing offensive rebounds.

It's just that the Lakers are not a very talented team to begin with. Jackson himself has said that the five championships he won with the Lakers were more than a little bit different from the Bulls in terms of talent.

Except for the two core players who were the first in the same position or even the league at that time, the talent of the others was so different that he was surprised that he could successfully defend the championship three times.

This can be seen in 2004, after O'Neal was traded to acquire two quasi-All-Star players, Odom and Caron Butler. Except for OK, except for the Big Four and the little fish who left, the Lakers seemed to have no one else.

Basically equal to negative equity, it all depends on the core players to win. Thank God if it doesn't hold back.

Just look at the Lakers lineup on the big screen. The backcourt combination of Fisher and Kobe is quite good. Fisher is also called Xiaoyu. He defends hard, has a big heart and is in good physical condition.

Awesome, Kobe is indescribable.

Then, the Lakers' small forward, 34-year-old Rick Fox, power forward, Samaki Walker, who averaged 4 points and 5 rebounds per game this season, and center, Wang Zhizhi.

In addition to Fisher who is at his peak, with an ability value of 80, a quasi-first-class level, Kobe is about to enter his peak period, with an ability value that has been raised to 94, and is about to enter the true super giant level. He only has one year left to lead the team to start a game.

Guang is the number one player in the league, and being young is good. Allen Iverson in the same class is already 28, and Kobe is not yet 25.

In addition to these two quasi-first-class stars and quasi-super giants, the other three in the Lakers team, Fox, has an ability value of 70, averaging 7 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He is an average small forward. At best, he is not bad, mainly because he is older.

, can distribute the ball to Kobe and the inside, and individual defense has dropped to negligible; Samaki Walker, with an ability value of 65, is below the level, and many of Kobe's teammates may not be able to hit the ball after leaving Kobe.

At the same level; Wang Zhizhi, 68, is not at the same level. He can play on a bad team and has the ability to be the main substitute for a playoff team. However, it is better than the playing time and performance opportunities he originally got with the Clippers.

Much more, his statistics and performance are decent, averaging 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. The little blacksmith's bonus to the center has always been very high, and his assist ability is very strong.

Without O'Neal, only Kobe is left to lead the team. It seems that the Lakers' lineup will be very miserable. Liu Mang didn't notice it before, but now because the daily task level is so low, he curiously looked at the Lakers' ability values. It was simply

Damn it, this lineup, even if it was one year younger last season, still lacked a substitute insider with excellent three-point ability. In other words, except for O'Neal last year, the Lakers lineup was like this. It seemed that these three consecutive championships

In 2016, the Lakers lineup was almost composed of these people, OK combination...

Liu Mang thinks O'Neal is really good! Give Kobe Bryant three consecutive games.

The pressure of the game is not too great. Kobe is the only one who is difficult to deal with. Just find a way to restrain him.

What Liu Mang was depressed about was making the All-Star team. He didn't expect that there were so many people competing with him. It was really worse than the Lakers winning three consecutive championships with OK.

He always thought that Carter was forced to give in because of domestic public opinion.

But if you think about it carefully, Jordan is such a proud person. If Carter is willing to give up, he will accept it.

Carter, a person with such a high emotional intelligence, also has the nickname "Flying Man". He must be the one who gives the most positive advice, and Jordan will accept it.

The old man is also an arrogant person.

But there was no way Liu Mang could say that he would give it to Jordan early. Before the All-Star substitutes came out, although in theory, the coaches would not let Jordan lose the All-Star selection, Jordan had not yet entered the All-Star, so he said in advance that he would give it to Jordan.

It seems like he forced the league to select Jordan as an All-Star.

Although Liu Mang doesn't want to win MVP or anything during this year's All-Star Weekend, it doesn't matter even if his ability value is a little lower, and it doesn't matter if his performance is a little inaccurate, but...

"God's perfect ending: The host needs to help Michael Jordan win the MVP of the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game. The task reward: a Michael Jordan star card for the 1984-1985 season. The failure penalty: none."

"Michael Jordan 1984-1985 version, ability value 91, offense 99, defense 80, three-pointer 56, mid-range shot 80, layup 100, speed 93, strength 88, jumping 99..."

This is the reason why Mao Liu Mang was so active in announcing this matter in the pre-game interview. Seeing that Jordan was a top star in his rookie year, and his physical fitness was almost invincible for defenders in history, Liu Mang's first reaction was "f*ck". He thought

When I had the opportunity to get this star card to experience the strength of God, my reaction was "fuck" for the second time. Then when I gave up to the All-Star, three people rushed to give it to me. Liu Mang's third "fuck" was just bad.

He was scolded directly!

He could only go to Jordan in person and communicate with him about who accepted the offer. Liu Mang felt that if Jordan accepted, it was really possible to accept the offer from Carter, because both of them were nicknamed Flying Man, and Jordan also

Reasons for acceptance.

Liu Mang put aside these miscellaneous thoughts and devoted himself to the game. It was not easy to score 20 points against Kobe. This guy was a monster.

Iguodala, the future backup championship MVP who was still in his rookie year, once said that he guarded Kobe after the first time he played against Kobe in his rookie year. In that game, Kobe only made 7 of 27 shots and scored 17 points. The second time

When Kobe played a game with the 76ers, he went directly to the 76ers locker room and said that he would guard Iguodala and score at most 5 points, and he would also score 50 points, and his score would be at least ten times that of Iguodala.

Of course, not many of the little blacksmith's boasts can be realized. Iguodala scored 6 points in that game, and Kobe only scored 48 points. Both of his boasts were not fulfilled.

…

…

Soon, the game was about to start, and the two teams took the stage.

The Eagles continue to send Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.

This game is not as influential as the Rockets game. Since the country is still during the Spring Festival, the ratings can only be said to be okay. The regular season does not have as much attention as the All-Star Weekend, so the Eagles management does not have to let Liu

Reckless.

Lakers lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Walker, Wang Zhizhi.

Old domestic fans watching the NBA on TV burst into tears. Our country now has three players who have played in the NBA!

After the game started, Ratliff defeated Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Eagles took the lead.

Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe immediately moved up to Jason Terry when he reached beyond the three-point line, providing a strong physical confrontation.
Chapter completed!
