Chapter 328: The 1997 All-Star Game begins (2)

"If Phil is going well in today's game, then it will be your command. If it doesn't go well, then I will come. This All-Star MVP is very important to me, really!" Jordan lied to Phil Jackson. He said quietly and very sincerely.

Phil Jackson was extremely speechless when he looked at such a sincere and serious Jordan. Fortunately, he knew Jordan better and knew that Jordan did not have any opinion on his coach, but was purely for the MVP of the All-Star Game.

"Well, how long are you going to play?!"

For Jordan, Phil Jackson obviously gave up. He knew that Jordan at this time could not listen to anyone's words, and he was not going to persuade him anymore.

You think it's easy to want the MVP of the All-Star Game. You can't get it if you don't have too much playing time. What's more, you have to score higher than all players to qualify for the MVP of the All-Star Game.

The long playing time made Phil Jackson hesitate. What if Jordan is injured in the game? !

You must know that the Bulls are already ready to win the championship, and once Jordan is injured in this unimportant game, it will definitely outweigh the gains, and even the Bulls may lose the playoffs this year. This is also Phil. · Jackson cannot accept.

"I want to play for 30 minutes if I can!" Jordan calculated that 30 minutes was almost enough for himself. With his pre-match shooting experience, 30 minutes should be able to score a lot of points, enough to crush all players.

30 minutes? In fact, it’s a lot. If it’s a normal All-Star Game, Jordan will play 25 minutes, but 30 minutes is not much. In addition, the All-Star Game is a performance game, except for the last one. If Jie Zhen is playing, the other three quarters are completely performing, which is not exhausting to Jordan at all.

"Okay, I agree, but you should be careful. Don't try to be aggressive. If there is an injury, I will replace you immediately."

A small All-star Symphony Jackson doesn't care at all. What he cares about is how far the Bulls can get in this year's playoffs.

"Noproblem!" Jordan happily patted Phil Jackson on the shoulder and said happily.

From the Eastern side, when the two of you have decided on everything, what else to say, you can't fight against the coach, I have to say that some people's minds are indeed not in this All-Star game.

Even the old people like Gary Payton and Joe Dumars who often antagonize Jordan in the regular season didn’t say anything, and others wouldn’t say anything else. You know, it’s Jordan and Pippen. In addition, Gary Payton and Joe Dumars have the highest qualifications. If the big brothers do not object, it basically represents the aspirations of the whole team!

Of course they won't object. Their minds have already flown to their team, thinking about how to save their strength and not let themselves be injured, otherwise it will be difficult to compete for the postseason spots later.

Of course, this is very common. When people came to Cleveland, the team's head coach and even the general manager clearly said to avoid injury, just play in the All-Star Game.

This is also the reason why everyone agrees to help Jordan compete for the All-Star Game MVP. To be honest, the All-Star Game MVP unless it is really important for Super Giants, but for the average All-Star player, there is no need to take it seriously. They It will not improve much status in the league because of this honor, which is very unrealistic, okay!

"I said what's wrong with you, I haven't seen you like this in previous All-Star games..." Pippen immediately came over and hugged Jordan and whispered.

From Pippen’s point of view, Jordan today is indeed abnormal. In previous years’ All-Star Game, Jordan was not so ambitious. It’s okay to get the MVP if you can’t get it. But today’s Jordan’s performance is very different. Not mindful.

"It's nothing, I just need these honors. Besides, who would think that there is less honor!" Jordan would not tell Pippen the real situation, and Pippen's big mouth must be known to the entire league in less than a day. He Wouldn't it be so stupid!

"Cut, let's not talk about pulling down, if it's because Bruce said something to you, I always think something is wrong since you answered Bruce's call?!" Pippen also knew that Jordan was perfunctory and he didn't tell the truth, since Jordan didn't say anything. Then forget it, it doesn't matter to me anyway.

I have to say that Pippen's sense of smell is still very sensitive, and it can smell that it is indeed a dog!

"Nothing, I just chatted with Bruce about Kobe!"

"What do you think Bruce will do more urgently than Kobe's?!" It's better to find an excuse to stop this guy. This Pippen is also a master who doesn't see rabbits or scatter eagles, don't let him follow I heard something in my mouth.

Jordan was also surprised by Pippen’s words. He didn’t expect that Pippen really guessed it. If there was no call from Bruce, then he would definitely be "salted" in this All-Star game. He must Keep your energy to deal with the game after the All-Star Weekend, but when you think that Bruce will pull him bluntly and "normally", what do you think you can do!

He has won two All-Star MVPs in total. I won’t say that in 1988. The MVP he got in the All-Star Game last year showed him the possibility of re-election. You must know that since the establishment of the NBA, no one has ever been able to play Those who have been re-elected as MVPs in the All-Star Game, if they successfully defend the All-Star MVP again this time, then they will be two consecutive dealers. If they continue to hold again next year, it will be terrible. This is also the result of my deep thoughts.

If three consecutive All-Stars are MVP, it will not only increase his position in the league, but also make his influence in the world even crazier, which is actually beneficial to him.

Jordan is determined to win today’s All-Star MVP. Now if anyone dares to stumble behind his back, then he doesn’t mind that he will teach them the same way as Isaiah Thomas in the subsequent games. He is not Kobe against these people. They all endure, accustomed to these people's stinky problems, Jacques must report not only Bruce's criterion but also his Michael Jordan's criterion.

...

The bench in the east was still joking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very casual, while the atmosphere in the west was obviously not so good.

In particular, Stockton and Malone are definitely the most unlucky two today. They are not qualified to enter the top 50 superstars, and they are warned by Stern not to make trouble. It is difficult for them to be happy.

Compared with the depressed expressions of these two men, Jason Kidd and Grant Hill were not too happy. After all, Jason Kidd was completely rejuvenated after being traded to the Mavericks by the Hans. The outstanding performance was voted by the fans and he has the opportunity to enter the All-Star Game. Why doesn't this make him happy!

Then there is Grant Hill, because the Mavericks have really played well in the recent games and have hopes of making the playoffs, which makes him very happy! As a native of Dallas, the Mavericks' performance has always affected every nerve of his own. This year the Mavericks have strengthened a lot. Although there may still be no chance to make the Western Conference finals this year, don’t forget that Nelson only coached the Mavericks for one year. This coaching for one year will represent the Mavericks' return to the playoffs, but I don’t know what to do in the future! Can you please make him happy!

The rest of the players basically have the same mentality as those who play "health" in the East, and they choose to play conservatively for their respective teams' playoff spots.
