Chapter 81 Becoming a Jordan disciple

"What is that boy doing?"

I don’t know if the body surface area is too large, but Karl Malone, who always comes late to take a shower, appears in the locker room.

As soon as I came out, I saw Wang Hao, chatting happily with Jeff Hornacek outside the locker room.

This ignited Karl Malone's anger. What he just said still made him quite depressed.

"Hey, Carl, it's okay. He's here to apologize to Jeff, so don't get involved."

As an old partner, Stockton didn't know Malone's mood and quickly stopped him.

Although the game was lost, the season is still long and no team can continue to win continuously.

As for the interludes in the game, they are just trivial matters and there is no need to expand them further.

"Hmph, the weasel is not being kind to the rooster when he wishes him a happy New Year!"

John Stockton shook his head helplessly, but he stopped trying to persuade him. Malone was not a child and knew what to do.

Looking at Wang Hao outside the locker room, Karl Malone was still a little aggrieved and suddenly asked again.

"John, honestly, does my mouth really taste like that?"

Hearing this, John Stockton was stunned for a moment. After all this quarrel, is this what you care about?

But how should he answer this question?

It is so difficult to not lie to Karl Malone and not make him feel too uncomfortable!

John Stockton is a little helpless, why do you have to ask me? You can ask other people too!

Wang Hao naturally didn't know Stockton's helplessness, but had a pleasant chat with Hornacek outside the locker room.

Hornacek even invited Wang Hao to his home when Utah was playing.

Looking at the two people who met so late, Gary Payton was dumbfounded. This guy is even better than a social butterfly!

But the question is, what is the point of you bringing me here and wanting me to be a peacemaker?

"Re-engraving a lore, another Jordan disciple?"

"Ruthless killer, Utah defeated Seattle!"

"The craziest late-round pick comeback performance in history!"

…

Early the next morning, fresh news came out in major newspapers and periodicals, and Wang Hao suddenly became a hot topic.

If it was just a single kill, it might not attract such huge attention.

But now, when this buzzer-beater has something to do with the God of Basketball, it's different.

No one can know what significance Jordan had to the NBA at that era.

Especially Jordan's second retirement, his retirement after becoming a god, simply made him sublime.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that last year's labor dispute was caused by Jordan's retirement.

Some media even went to interview Jordan. When Jordan learned about this, he was very polite.

"Yes, I see my own shadow in Wang. Perhaps, this is a somewhat special Jordan!"

To be honest, except for this one game-winner, Wang Hao's playing style is not much similar to Jordan's.

It's just that this is Jordan's old routine.

Even Iverson is a disciple of Jordan, so what’s the big deal if Wang Hao is also included?

Mr. Joe has done a lot of stupid things, but when it comes to Jordan's disciples, he has done a very good job.

What does it mean when all the best players in the league become Jordan's disciples?

The God of Basketball will always be the God of Basketball. If he wants to compare with me, he must first surpass my disciples.

Grant Hill, Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and even later Wade, James...

What's more, just surpassing these people in terms of achievements is not an easy task.

What's even more terrible is that even if you achieve the achievements of Kobe and James, you will only have the status of Jordan's disciple.

It is estimated that Jordan has already thought about making a comeback and does not mind showing his face in front of the media.

Wang Hao was naturally very happy after seeing the news. After all, being noticed by the media often means that you have something worthy of attention.

Not only that, Jeff Schwartzyer communicated with Wang Hao in time, and the negotiations on commercial endorsements progressed smoothly.

Obviously, with Wang Hao's popularity rising again, the rest of the companies can no longer sit still.

For fear of failing to win Wang Hao's endorsement, he pushed Wang Hao to his competitors.

However, it's okay to be a little happy. If you really forget about it, you'd be stupid.

Therefore, after the training session on the second day, Wang Hao still stayed and practiced more honestly.

Seeing this scene, Gary Payton and Paul Westphal were immediately relieved.

However, in the next game, the Sonics suffered a tragic defeat.

Wang Hao also suffered his first defeat after entering the NBA, and it was extremely painful.

Philadelphia, Wells Fargo Center.

Looking at the scoreboard, which showed a difference of more than 20 points, Wang Hao felt deeply helpless.

This feeling is terrible.

During the game, watching the score keep getting wider, Wang Hao also tried to find opportunities, hoping to counterattack.

I really found the opportunity, but failed to complete the counterattack. The feeling of powerlessness is simply torture!

"Hey, rookie, it's just a game, there's no need to care so much.

The season is a long process, with 82 games, and no one can win all the time.

Not even Jordan and his Bulls, because Tigers take naps sometimes.

If we win 50 games, we will be a strong team in the Western Conference. If we win 60 games, we will have a chance to compete for the championship."

"I know, it just feels uncomfortable to lose!"

"Of course, no one wants to lose!"

…

On the bench, Wang Hao and Gary Payton were chatting, and suddenly there were lively cheers.

It turned out that Iverson was gone.

In fact, the game was already garbage time, and the Sonics had already given up.

Larry Brown specially arranged for Iverson to play, and now he specifically replaced Iverson just to let him enjoy the applause of the audience.

Today, when Larry Brown and Iverson were still friends, the relationship between the two was very close.

It wasn't until they lost in the finals and Larry Brown was kicked out that the two sides completely broke up.

From the intimate little sweetie, to the supreme treasure and the cow lady!

Even Wang Hao was unconsciously attracted to that figure with tattoos all over his body, dreadlocks, and an unruly figure in his bones.

Today, among the people in the entire league who are qualified to compete for the number one superstar, Iverson must have a place.

Among the so-called top four shooting guards, in fact, relatively speaking, Iverson was the one who became famous the earliest.

When Iverson was recognized by the entire league, Kobe was still playing as a substitute, Tracy McGrady was still practicing hard on defense, and Carter had just entered the league.

In this game, Iverson scored 43 points by himself, and also had 9 rebounds and 4 assists. His condition was simply off the charts.

Especially in the fourth quarter, it was impossible to guard against it.

Not to mention Wang Hao and Ruben Patterson, even if Gary Payton took action personally, he was exposed.

Moreover, the numbers team also had good luck today.

Iverson is not good at three-pointers, but in the fourth quarter, he hit two three-pointers, shooting 60% from three-pointers in the game.

Can you imagine how to defend Iverson, who has the same three-point accuracy as Curry?
