Chapter 359 Larry Bird
All the fans in the Rockefeller Center looked at Payton, who was running forward without slowing down. They were all secretly looking forward to how Payton would handle the ball!
Arenas quickly chased Peyton annoyed, he was extremely depressed about his previous performance!
"Little guy, this is why Uncle Gary became a super point guard!!" Payton, who was running wildly, suddenly shouted loudly when he was about to step into the penalty area. Taking a quick step, his whole body jumped up suddenly, holding the ball high with both hands, and when his body was getting closer to the basket, he seemed to be swinging a heavy hammer, and slammed the basketball into the basket viciously basket! !
"Oh God!!!"
"God, what did I see???"
All the fans shouted excitedly. In recent years, they have rarely seen Payton use such a powerful dunk to end the goal! !
"Damn it, Gary is finally back!!" Rick Barry stood up excitedly, looking at Payton who was roaring wantonly on the court, he couldn't help waving his right arm vigorously!
"Boy, did you see that?" Payton opened his eyes wide and looked fiercely at the depressed Arenas when he landed. Then, amidst the cheers of the fans, he ran to the backcourt shaking his head!
"drop!!!"
No matter how many points the Warriors lead the Sonics, Wilkens quickly called a timeout after this encouraging dunk!
"Gilbert, you need to calm down!" Wilkens looked at Arenas who was leaving the field with a serious expression, then pointed to Billups and said, "Chauncey, your task is to control the rhythm!!"
"Understood!!" After gradual precipitation, Billups has become quite mature.
Arenas sat on the bench in frustration. Thinking of Payton's mouth full of excrement, he said to Wilkens angrily: "That damn guy, he should have stuck his head into the toilet. His mouth is too big. It stinks!!"
"It is undeniable that you are irritated by him!" Wilkens waved his hand casually, and then looked at the court!
During the timeout, the league deliberately interrupted an announcement that they would announce the players who signed up for the three-point contest!
"According to the review of the previous registration situation, now we will inform the participating players of the three-point contest!"
"They are Wesley Person from the Cavaliers, Ray Allen from the Bucks, Steve Smith from the Spurs, Peja Stojakovic from the Kings, and Peja Stojakovic from the Orlando Magic. Mike Miller, Quentin Richardson of the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics and Steve Nash of the Canadian Mavericks!"
Watching the TV host announce the players in the three-point contest, Bruce couldn't help showing nostalgia.
Among these eight players, all had extraordinary accomplishments in their previous lives. Except for the veteran Steve Smith, the rest of the players have become indispensable to their respective teams and even the boss of the teams.
"These guys are really young now!" Bruce said with emotion, and then the TV turned back to the court.
On the court, with Billups' organization, the Warriors' offense has become more and more smooth!
After that, no matter what kind of trash talk Payton used to bombard Billups, he still organized the offense and defense in an orderly manner!
"Chauncey, it seems that your progress is not small!" Payton defended Billups with his hands open, and highly appreciated his composure.
"Gary, I have to say that your mouth is still so strong!" Billups said with a smile, and then handed over the basketball to Kirilenko who was supporting him!
In the following games, under the impact and active defense of Kirilenko and others, the Supersonics did not have a chance to make a comeback. Even though they put all their main players on the field, the Warriors, who had already shown a good state The substitute group really made them a little unpredictable!
At the end of the game, after the Warriors beat the Sonics with a score of 103:98, their record finally consolidated their record in the third position in the Western Conference before the All-Star Game, especially after Carter was absent!
The next day, Bruce flew directly to Philadelphia, where there are some things waiting for him to deal with!
Cole stood bored in the home court of the 76ers, looking at the layout of the arena, he couldn't help but feel a little bored!
Ever since Miracle Entertainment showed great creativity and influence in the previous All-Star Game, even though some planning companies handed over gorgeous plans to Billy King, they still felt that Miracle Entertainment's planning more perfect!
"Mr. Billy, may I ask if you have settled Elton?" Cole curiously asked Billy King who had just arrived at the arena, looking forward to his work.
"Haha, why not?" Billy King looked at Cole proudly, thinking that his sincerity had finally touched Elton John before, and said excitedly, "I'm his loyal fan!!"
"Wow, with Elton joining, this grand event is simply wonderful!" Cole said excitedly, he knows how important a finale star is!
Just as the two continued to discuss something, Bruce rushed over with a dusty look!
"Hey, Billy!" Bruce greeted Billy King with a smile, and then looked at the depressed Cole with a funny face: "Dude, shouldn't you give me a hug?"
"Come on!" Cole hugged him unwillingly, and then said, "Since you're here, I might have to go back!"
"Okay, someone has to be in charge of the company!" Bruce understood very well, he said with a smile, and then Billy King said: "In this All-Star Game, we will use a very good team to separate Philadelphia and the 76ers. Make it a grand banquet."
"Of course, your strength is the top in the United States!" Thinking of the previous two extremely successful All-Star Games, Billy King agreed with Bruce and shook hands.
As the All-Star Game approached, according to the doctor's assessment, even though Carter wanted to participate very much, his injury did not allow it.
Reluctantly, when Bruce announced that Carter would not participate in the All-Star Game due to injury, all fans who loved Carter sighed!
When Bruce just announced that Carter will not be able to participate in the All-Star Game, Jerry West of the Lakers also announced that O'Neal will have to leave this All-Star Game because of a toe infection!
As the two All-Stars with the most votes announced that they would not participate in this All-Star, there was a sound of regret in the league!
On February 2th, Philadelphia time, as the "Carnival" was held locally and sponsored by top sports brands such as Adidas, it really attracted a large number of fans.
Seeing the crowds of fans pouring into the arena one after another, Bruce couldn't help but feel the ubiquitous atmosphere of the NBA.
In order to save the ratings that have been declining for many years, while fully exploring local resources, Stern gradually turned this grand event into a commercial and entertainment event.
When everyone was discussing the All-Star Game, the celebrities headed by Oscar Robertson expressed their different opinions one after another!
Lakers head coach Jackson has a deep prejudice against the All-Star Game. He believes that the All-Star Game is a "waste of time" for as many as three reasons: First, everyone is already familiar with the All-Star game that has not changed for many years. Second, he thinks that the game consumes too much physical and mental strength of the players; third, instead of participating in the All-Star Game, it is better for the players to spend more time with their families.
Jackson's "reasonable and well-founded" words really won the support of some players!
As a large number of fans poured into Philadelphia, a large number of players who were about to participate in the All-Stars came one after another.
Their arrival not only made the fans excited, but the representatives of major manufacturers were even more excited than the fans!
Before the All-Star Game, the stars will participate in various activities and a series of press conferences. No matter how tired they are or how unwilling they are, Stern’s fine ban still makes them have to participate in these busy events. journey!
Larry Bird entered the hotel a little depressed. When he saw Bruce saying goodbye to his friends with a smile, a light flashed in his eyes!
"Hey Bruce, it's such a pleasure to meet you!"
Hearing Bird's voice suddenly, Bruce turned his head in surprise and said, "Hello, Larry, me too!"
Larry Bird shook hands with Bruce with a smile, and then tentatively said: "I am very sorry for Vince's injury!"
"Hehe, players' injuries are something we cannot predict, thank you very much for your concern!" Bruce shook his head with a smile, a flash of meaning flashed in his eyes: "Reggie just returned, he also needs some time to adapt Woolen cloth!"
"Haha!" Larry Bird laughed: "We are not as lucky as you, do you want to have a drink?"
"Of course!" Bruce readily agreed, and then the two walked towards the bar in the hotel!
After a long while, when the two were sitting in a secluded place and chatting with a smile, after the waiter brought two glasses of whiskey, Larry Bird suddenly said: "You know we have a huge problem this season. Learned something too!"
Bruce stared fixedly at Bird, and it took him a while to remember what Nelson had said to him at that time!
Thinking of this, Bruce raised his wine glass with a smile, and clinked glasses with Bird: "I heard something!"
Bird couldn't help but feel a little surprised by Bruce's calmness. According to his previous understanding, Bruce would definitely show an expression of interest, but the current calm appearance really made him feel a little curious.
"Uh. We had some problems with the configuration of the lineup, so..."
Bruce looked at Bird in surprise. When he heard about the big deal between them and the Bulls, he thought that the two teams were in the final stage of making a decision, but now hearing what Bird said, it was obviously a huge rumor. !
"If my sources are not mistaken, aren't you about to complete the deal with the Bulls?" Bruce said straight to the point.
"Hehe, you know who Klaus is!" Bird smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said seriously: "If, I mean, if we can hand over Jaylen (Ross) to you, I don't know if you have Interested?"
