Phillips Arena, All-Star Night.

This year's All-Star Weekend is different.

The Eagles invited the current popular female singer, 18-year-old Ciara Prince Harris. Last year, she became famous across the United States with her song "Love at First Sight" and became the sexiest singer, actress and model in the United States. Although she is from Texas

Although she is a child, she grew up in Georgia for most of her childhood, and Atlanta can be said to be her home base.

After Harris finished singing the national anthem, there were not a bunch of fancy performances like other All-Star Weekends. The regular performances of this year's All-Star Weekend were all completed before the two-day Rookie Game and Comprehensive Game Day.

After Harris sang Perfect Empire, the staff came to the center of the court and set up a small stage.

After the stage was set up, the staff evacuated.

First up are the Eastern and Western All-Stars!

The first introduction is to the five All-Stars of the Western Conference.

The first to appear were the two No. 21 forwards, then Yao Ming, and second to last was Francis. Kobe finally entered the stage as the "first man" for the first time.

Then came the five All-Stars from the Eastern Conference. The two forwards Carter and Tracy McGrady appeared first, Ratliff followed, and Iverson and Liu Mang entered last.

Although All-Star Liu Mang gave up to Jordan, Liu Mang was still the last one to enter the Eastern Conference during the appearance ceremony.

After Liu Mang entered the arena, he and Kobe were sitting together on the All-Star chairs, the two in the middle.

Kobe was originally very happy to enter the stage as the "boss" of the Western Conference for the first time, but when he saw Liu Mang actually sitting in the position of the "boss" of the Eastern Conference, his face suddenly darkened. This kid! It's so infuriating!

In just two seasons, he has been promoted to this position.

If I have a chance, I'll kill this guy in the finals!

If Liu Mang knew that the fierce-looking Kobe had this idea, Liu Mang might be more grateful to Brother Blacksmith if his dream came true.

If you can reach the finals, wouldn't you surpass Jason Kidd?

After they came on the stage, a stinking-looking O'Neal led the Western Conference substitutes, and then the Eastern All-Star substitutes.

After bursts of cheers and screams, people discovered that one person was missing!

At this time, the lights dimmed, and the big screen above the stadium began to play video clips of Jordan from his draft days.

First, Jordan entered the NBA with the third overall pick, and then came to Atlanta to play for the first time. At that time, the home court of the Hawks was still called American Airlines Arena.

The scenes that followed had nothing to do with the Hawks. Jordan was eliminated by the Pistons in the playoffs for three consecutive years. The score went from 0 to 3 to a 3 to 4 tiebreaker defeat. Jordan shed tears of despair at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

.

Then they made a comeback in 1991 and swept the Pistons 4-0. It took them four years to cross the mountain of the Pistons and reach the Finals. From then on, they were unstoppable. They won two and three consecutive championships and led the Dream Team to sweep the world once.

He became the first player in basketball history.

Finally, he came back in 2001, and there was footage of the Eagles' home court...

When Liu Mang saw Jordan's post-up play against him when he scored more than 50 points, and the three-pointer that killed him, Liu Mang felt that his video editor was an undercover sent by Jordan!

There are so many scenes, why did you cut these two! I don’t want to lose face!

But thinking that today was the day when Mr. Qiao gave his retirement speech, Liu Mang couldn't bear it.

Otherwise, what else can we do? Beat the editor? Or threaten him with violence?

Then I guess future video editing... I will always be a tragedy...

After the tribute video finished playing, the big screen screen switched to live footage, aiming at the players' tunnel.

Jordan appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel, next to Phil Jackson, a Zen master holding a microphone.

Hearing the roar of cheers at the scene, the Zen master picked up the microphone and said: "Are-you-ready?"

Jordan tilted his head, as confident as he had been for the past 19 years: "Of course."

Jordan ran out from among his fellow players and came to the stage in the center of the court.

At this time, the press officer led the all-stars around the stage.

Seeing these pictures, Liu Mang knew that Jordan's famous All-Star Weekend speech was coming!

After Liu Mang came out just now, he saw the fans sitting on the sidelines. In addition to some players' family members, most of them were members of parliament, American stars, and some Asian stars. Most of them were celebrities and current players.

Players who were not selected as All-Stars.

This All-Star Weekend is the All-Star Weekend with the most celebrities in NBA history and the most active stars!

Players saw Jordan's last All-Star Weekend treatment, and their performances varied.

Liu Mang is okay. I have watched Jordan's final speech many times on video. I am just looking forward to it. Will it be different from the impression? And will the thing I told Jordan today appear?

?look forward to!

Most of the All-Stars looked at Jordan with envy. With this kind of treatment, almost all the famous stars who are still alive came to the scene. Even Bill-who would not appear at the game except for Celtic games and NBA Finals.

Russell is here, this is so honorable!

If you want to have such a reputation, you have to be as famous as Jordan.

However, there is one person who is not envious.

Everyone was applauding and envious, but there was only one guy wearing No. 8 in the Western Conference All-Star training uniform who was different.

Everyone was blessing and applauding, but Kobe was the most special. Seeing Jordan standing on the stage, Kobe smiled like a 190-pound fat man. That was exciting. Others could only express blessings or envy. This

The 190-pound fat man looks like he is standing on the stage. He can be as excited as he wants, just like a crazy fan.

Jordan enjoyed the cheers and applause for a while, then picked up the microphone and was about to speak.

There was no need for mobilization at the scene and everything became quiet.

Jordan was as old-school as his age. He blew the microphone to check the sound, and then started to speak.

"How can I say, basketball, thank you.

Thank you so much!

Next comes you, all the people here, my former teammates, my former opponents, competitors, and current opponents, teammates, everything basketball has made me realize, and I have experienced a lot of people and things, thank you all.

I would also like to thank my family for supporting me for so long and supporting me in realizing my dreams on the court.

Supporting basketball is not just about supporting Jordan. Thank you for your support.

If I had completely stayed away from the NBA after retiring in 1998, it would be unfair to the entire NBA, so I came back this time. Yes, you can see that I am too old and can no longer shoot goals or fly and dunk.

Already.

But my departure did not make the NBA worse. On the contrary, the efforts of our generation made the NBA better. I left with peace of mind. So many great stars are still here, so many stars have improved and participated in the game.

I took over the baton from 'Dr. J' Irving, 'Magic' Johnson, 'Bird' and other greats in this sport, and I passed it on to the players in the All-Star Game and

Other players are on the All-Star field.

I heard that someone selected my successor, Bryant, Carter, Iverson, McGrady, James, and by the way, Liu.

They are all great, just as you think, and I also think they will be the ones who can take over the torch in my hand. Of course, they have strong opponents like Duncan and O'Neal in front of them.

The NBA now is great, everything is great, and I can leave without any regrets.

I am very grateful to everyone for their continued support to me. Now, after this year’s game, I can go home and enjoy the peace that the basketball game has brought me.

Thank you so much.

Originally, I planned to wait until this season was over before announcing my retirement.

However, I don’t want to continue anymore. The NBA no longer needs me. I shouldn’t be here at my age. I don’t want anyone to let me go, just like this All-Star. If it’s not my apprentice, yes, it’s Ai

Si, if he hadn't given it to me, I might not have appeared on this stage.

Therefore, I will not play in the next regular season. Everything should be over. The current NBA is an era for young people, and it is time for me to leave.
Chapter completed!
