In early January 2003, the New Year will have a new look, and in the new year of the NBA, there will definitely be a very new look.

In the days of early January, the league's focus has finally moved away from Los Angeles and is no longer always OK with the Lakers.

The time jumped from 2002 to 2003. In the past few days, Florida is the center of these days.

Miami's second China Derby shocked the entire NBA and the entire American sports community.

China's power is once again felt by the NBA and the American sports community.

The "second score" of McGrady and Chen Xiao in Orlando, one of them soared to 50 and the other soared to 60, perfectly realizing the public opinion hyped by journalists across the United States.

For NBA media, they are really provoking trouble, but if you can accomplish what they provoke, they are really willing to support you.

Obviously, the battle between Chen Xiao and McGrady was a very good response to them.

Faced with such an "obedient" two people, the media will of course repay you. Otherwise, no player will dance with them next time they make trouble.

They don't want the entire NBA to be players like Duncan and Nowitzki!

They were there for a long time, and the two of them just smiled slightly and were unmoved.

Then what newspapers do they sell?

They keep a distance from such players.

These two people deserve not to get their "attention"!

Let them go to mold silently there.

Therefore, after the battle between Chen Xiao and McGrady, both in China and the United States, Chen Xiao and McGrady's popularity was soaring like crazy.

Moreover, the appearance of a person has pushed Chen Xiao and McGrady's popularity to a new level.

On January 5, 2003, Miami, the Washington Wizards challenged the Heat.

The battle between the Heat and the Wizards, the battle between the short Jordan and the real Jordan, the battle between the successor and the successor, is a highly anticipated live broadcast game across the United States.

And not only in the United States, but also in China, the attention of this game is also very high.

After all, Jordan, the God of Basketball!

Although the All-Star Voting announced by the league some time ago made Jordan a little embarrassed, the God of Basketball is the God of Basketball.

Wherever you go, it's the focus.

This time I came to Miami and faced Wade, known as the "five-centimeter Jordan". At the pre-match press conference, how could the reporters at the scene forget to ask Jordan about his successor?

The topic about Jordan's successor has been one of the hottest topics in the NBA since Jordan's first retirement.

It has been almost ten years since the noise.

During this decade, players from Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, to later Iverson, Kobe, Carter, McGrady, Wade and others.

When Jordan was asked this question, he named and commented on many players who were considered his successor.

He himself doesn't know the specific number of Jordan successors he has evaluated over the years.

However, Jordan never appointed anyone.

Now, Jordan is leaving the NBA again, and it is not a short-term departure, but a permanent departure.

In this case, the media across the United States certainly hope that Jordan will announce the answers to the hottest questions in the NBA in the past decade.

However, Mr. Qiao's tone was very tight.

No matter how they asked differently, Mr. Qiao didn't say anything.

There are even rumors that Mr. Qiao is preparing to officially announce his designated successor at this year's All-Star Game.

Many American media believe this because it is in line with Mr. Qiao's personality.

At the most popular moment, it became the focus of the world.

But no one expected...

After talking about the complete star vote that made Jordan embarrassed, the American reporter at the scene just asked Jordan about his successor routinely as usual.

"Michael, this is your last season in the NBA. Have you decided to give the torch to whom? Among so many outstanding young guards in the NBA, you are more optimistic about who can take over your scepter? Bryant, TMC, Vince, Allen, Ray, Dwyane or others?"

Really, this is just a conventional question for American journalists, but this time, Jordan answered positively.

"This is a very interesting question. The players you clicked are all very outstanding players and are qualified to be my successor. Among these people, there is no doubt that Kobe is at the forefront, McGrady, Carter, Iverson and others are closely behind. Each of them has the potential to become the leader of the new era after I left. Just like you have been arguing in the past, each of them is so excellent, no winner, and it is difficult to choose one among them. In the end, you chose four, and I, now, I will give you my new answer."

"I think the player who can actually take away the crown and scepter from me in the end will not be Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Iverson, but the Magic Boy."

"The Fantastic Boys will become Larry Bird in the league's defender position, and his achievements are second only to me."

"Of course, you can choose not to believe it, but what I want to say is that time will give you the answer, and now you can add the Magic Boy to the list of those four to discuss together."

"The four people are walking in front now, and the Magic Boy will definitely be the first person to reach the end in the end."

After Jordan finished speaking with a smile, both American and Chinese journalists felt like they were suddenly attacked and crazy.

Jordan has appointed his successor!

This is big news!

Jordan has appointed his successor as the Magic Boy!

This is even bigger news!

Even an hour after the press conference, Jordan's interview was swept across the entire United States and the NBA based on various channels!

Even Chen Xiao, who had already visited Atlanta at this time, was shocked when he looked at the news on his computer.

"Jordan said, I'm his successor?!"

"Because of Master Qiao's appointment, I am now the fifth largest quarter of the NBA?"

Chen Xiao was shocked to see the reports about him on the Internet.

He is just a "little" player on the Nets, why was he appointed by Master Qiao?

Why did it become the four major quarters in the NBA?

Moreover, judging from this report, the media was shocked by the fact that Master Qiao appointed Chen Xiao.

However, most online media did not seem to mock God Qiao for being incompetent, nor did they mock Chen Xiao for being overestimated.

Even at this time, the NBA's official website came out to join in the fun.

This season, he played the data when Chen Xiao and McGrady and Kobe played against each other.

Chen Xiao and the previous four major quarters have fought three times so far this season.

Try McGrady twice, 25 points at one time and 50 points at one time.

In one match, Kobe, the Christmas game led the team to sweep the OK Lakers with 32 points.

Chen Xiao won all three times against the four major defenders in the league, and the data was not at all inferior.

The NBA official website has already understood the meaning.

I don’t know whether he supports Chen Xiao as the successor of Master Qiao.

However, the NBA's official website definitely supports Chen Xiao as the fifth largest guard in the NBA!

In fact, this is indeed the case.

After Master Joe expressed his views on his successor, David Stern received the news immediately.

He must have reservations about Jordan's belief that Chen Xiao is his successor, and it should be said that he definitely does not support it.

Now the only player in his heart who can succeed Jordan has left the scepter, that is LeBron James!

Chen Xiao...

Although it is very important to the NBA, it still cannot reach the level of being the king of the NBA and does not have that potential.

David Stern does not recognize Jordan's successor as Chen Xiao, but he highly recognizes putting Chen Xiao into the four major quarters to become the fifth largest quarter.

Because, in his vision, these five major parts left over from the Jordan era will become the "villain" and become the whetstone on LeBron James' growth path!

When LeBron James knocked all five of them down, LeBron James could be crowned king in the NBA!

And Chen Xiao was originally one of the "villain" candidates he wanted, James's Reggie Miller.

In short, no matter what, after David Stern and the league's official ended directly, coupled with Jordan's appointment, Chen Xiao, as a rookie, became the fifth among the four major points in the NBA.

And not many people have found reasons to refute.

Chen Xiao’s performance this season is indeed very outstanding.

Ranked fifth in the league in scoring per game.

Hot competitions also performed very well.

The team's record is also very good, ranking first in the league.

Such a player is really impossible to be criticized.

The only thing that can be hacked is his game characteristics, role players and no potential.

However, these are exactly what happened in the future.
To be continued...
