Byron Scott came straight to Michael Jordan with a tactical drawing board for one-on-one tactical guidance.

The rest of the players were scattered around, and several main players were carefully watching the final attack tactics arranged by Scott.

O'Neal Jr., McGrady, Jordan, Shentong, Kidd, this is the final lineup.

Let Kidd replace Iverson on the court in order to be able to implement his tactics in place and ensure that Jordan can create scoring opportunities.

The camera switches back and forth between Jordan chewing gum and Shentong with a relaxed look on his face.

Everyone knew that the final attack would definitely go to one of them.

The West has nothing to hold back either.

Duncan, Garnett, Marion, Kobe, Payton, five defensive heroes all appeared on the field.

...

O'Neal Jr. stood outside the line and prepared to serve.

Players in the Western Conference implement man-to-man defensive tactics.

Kobe stood beside Jordan, never leaving.

But the Eastern Stars were well prepared, and Shentong took the initiative, sacrificing himself and inserting himself into the gap between Kobe and Jordan.

Kobe, who was blocked by Shentong, shouted: "Sean, cover, cover!"

While Kobe was yelling, Jordan had already jumped out of the crowd.

Duncan stood in front of O'Neal and kept waving his arms, while McGrady hugged Garnett tightly.

Marion heard Kobe's call and immediately got stuck in the passing path between O'Neal and Jordan.

"here!"

Kidd suddenly appeared and asked for the ball.

Seeing that the five-second violation was about to occur, O'Neal immediately passed the ball to Kidd.

Under Payton's close defense, Kidd forced his way out and passed the ball to Jordan, who was struggling with Marion, at the best time. The whole thing only took 1 second.

After Jordan got the ball, he directly hit Marion with his back. After dribbling the ball once, he turned his hand and fell back.

Marion tried his best to block it, and almost all his body was thrown out.

Facing Marion's block, Jordan's ball almost flew out of the opponent's fingertips.

The entire audience held their breath.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and their eyes slowly moved along with the ball rolling in the air.

"Whoosh!"

Your uncle will always be your uncle!

Jordan's fadeaway jumper wasn't just a boast.

At the last critical moment, when the shot was almost blocked, Jordan used his late-career iconic fadeaway jumper to score two crucial points for the Eastern Stars!

138-136!

There is only less than 1:00 seconds left.

There are no more timeouts for the Western Conference Stars.

At the moment when the Eastern Star team was celebrating their goal and the Western Star team was dejected, Marion picked up the ball from the basket and threw the ball forward in a thunder-throwing motion.

"The game isn't over yet!"

Shentong's roar woke up his teammates who were immersed in the team's lead.

Kobe, who had a clear understanding of the situation, had already rushed to the three-point line. After receiving the pass from Marion, he turned around and adjusted to a shooting posture facing the basket. He directly pulled up on the spot to shoot a three-pointer.

O'Neal Jr., who had been observing Kobe, blocked Kobe's shot.

In this case, O'Neal didn't have time to think too much.

Blocking shots is an instinctive reaction.

The moment he reached out his hand, O'Neal already regretted it a little.

He felt that his movement was a bit big, and this block might result in a foul.

At this critical moment, a figure flew out from behind with rapid breathing.

It’s STO!

This guy slapped away the giant palm extended by O'Neal with his left hand, and with a slap of his right hand, he covered the ball in Kobe's hand!

When the final whistle sounded, Kobe didn't even have time to take the ball in his hands.

Depressed, Kobe slammed the ball on the floor.

There is no way, this ball is not a foul.

Even if you sit on the floor, crying and asking the referee to take free throws, it will have no effect.

Kobe is not that kind of player.

"What a risk." O'Neal let out a long breath and looked at Shentong.

it is more than words.

O'Neal Jr. raised his palm and high-fived Shentong.

On the other side, Jordan has been held up high by the stars.

Jordan's last dance ended in a quasi-final way. Is there any better All-Star closing performance than this?

...

Although Jordan only scored 20 points and 5 rebounds in this game, the All-Star Game MVP was still awarded to him.

Although Shentong scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the data was very comprehensive, and he blocked Kobe's shot at the last moment, ensuring the team's victory, but at this special moment, the MVP

Awarding it to Jordan can be regarded as a tribute to Jordan's final performance in his entire career.

When Jordan raised the MVP trophy high, the audience burst into applause.

The fans all stood up from their seats and applauded for several minutes.

"Shen, this trophy should actually be yours." Jordan whispered to Shentong in private.

"Oh, Michael, since you said that, then I will remember that you owe me a favor and remember to pay it back." Shen Tong said with a smile.

Jordan is clearly in a good mood today.

"No problem, Shen, come to me anytime if you need anything."

...

In fact, Jordan is very fond of the young player Shentong. One reason is because his playing style has the charm of his youth, and the other reason is because he respects himself.

Before last year's All-Star Game, STO took the initiative to give up the starting position to Jordan, which is not common in American culture.

Being able to do such a thing shows that this young man respects himself, and Jordan actually keeps it in mind.

...

After the game, Jordan, who led his team to victory and won the MVP, once again spoke affectionately.

He said: "Thank you to all the fans for supporting me in playing basketball. Thank you for your support. I took over the torch from my seniors and now I want to pass it on to my juniors. Thank you to all the fans."

He then shook hands with the players participating in the All-Star Game one by one.

...

After the game, a reporter asked Jordan if there was a clear player who could be his "successor" regarding Jordan's mention of handing the torch from the previous generation to the new generation.

Jordan thought for a moment and said: "I don't think of any clear candidate now, but there is a group of people."

Then, Jordan mentioned several players' names.

Among them, STO ranked first, and Kobe was the second name mentioned, but Jordan also said that Kobe's current achievements helped him to be at the front of the team.

McGrady, Carter, Iverson, O'Neal and rookie Yao Ming are all likely to become the leaders of the next era.

Finally, Jordan once again emphasized that it is very difficult to clearly choose someone now.

...

With Michael Jordan's last dance in the final All-Star Game of his career...
Chapter completed!
