At 8 o'clock in the evening of the New York NBA headquarters on January 29, 2003, a large number of journalists from various countries gathered here.

Because wait a moment, NBA president David Stern will announce the starting list of the 2003 NBA All-Star vote.

There is no doubt that this is one of the biggest news in the regular season,

And because of Jordan, it is one of the biggest news that cannot be missed.

Of course, compared with the American journalists expecting Jordan to be out of the election, the Chinese journalists here are completely different.

They don’t care about Jordan or something!

What they care about is Chen Xiao's vote king and Yao Ming's starting center.

This day will be the most memorable day in the history of Chinese professional sports!

"In New Jersey, the Nets' home court game with the Wizards is about to come to an end. Today, Chen Xiao's offensive state is average, but his defensive state is very good. Before the game is over, he has already won 7 blocks!"

"Jordan played too fiercely today. Chen Xiao focused most of his energy on the defensive end. However, Chen Xiao's defense against Jordan in this game is great!"

Looking at the Nets and Wizards game live broadcast on the big screen above my head, the Chinese reporters at the scene were very satisfied.

So far, the score of 6,18 points in 16 is very average.

But I can't stand Chen Xiao's outstanding 7 blocks tonight. In short, tonight is also Chen Xiao's blocking career night.

Career Night is paired with the All-Star Ticket King, it must be a very happy evening.

And Jordan and Joe made 13 of 41 shots in this game, and angrily beat 28 to celebrate Chen Xiao.

On the big screen, Jordan threw out his 41st attack in this game, and finally bounced out of the box under the interference of Chen Xiao's long arm, scoring the 28th iron of his game, and setting a new record for his career single game.

NBA CEO David Stern walked out with a smile.

Looking at the crowd of reporters below, David Stern smiled and didn't say much nonsense.

These people have been waiting for a long time.

Moreover, in the Nets and Wizards game, the reporters on the scene also had to interview Chen Xiao to get the vote king and become the All-Star.

"In the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, the starters of the Western Conference All-Star team are center, Shake O'Neal, forward, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, defender, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant!"

After David Stern finished reading the start of the West, except for the Sacramento reporters on the scene, the San Antonio reporters breathed a sigh of relief, the others had no expression or reaction at all.

Because most of the reporters at the scene are staring at the east!

David Stern didn't care about this and continued to read it in his very full voice.

"In the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, the starting lineup of the Eastern Conference All-Star team is center, death!"

However, when it is different from when it is pronounced as the first name of the West, when it is pronounced as the East, David Stern himself feels a little different.

After pronounced Yao Ming's name, David Stern deliberately paused, which was the time for Chinese journalists to celebrate.

Seeing the Chinese journalists jumping up excitedly in the audience, David Stern smiled slightly.

I have to say that David Stern is really open-minded and really knows how to be a human being.

Seeing the Chinese journalists excited and celebrating at this time, the American journalists next to them did not respond, but Korean journalists and journalists from other countries were envious.

Especially Korean journalists.

NBA All-Star!

Can we have an NBA All-Star player in the Republic of Korea in ten years?

"If you don't have ten years, just twenty years. When Player Chen and Ms. Sun's children grow up, it will be the time for our Republic of Korea to rise in the NBA!"

I want to eat nothing!

Even if Mr. Chen and Ms. Sun have children, that child is also a Chinese in Han and Korean Chinese life!

Of course, reality is reality and does not hinder their YY.

After the Chinese reporters on the scene celebrated for a while, David Stern continued to recite.

"In the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, the starting striker of the Eastern Conference All-Star team is Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson!"

After studying for the striker, David Stern paused again and deliberately cleared his throat.

After clearing his throat, David Stern pronounced the name of this year's All-Star starting guard with the fullest mood tonight.

"In the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, the starting guard of the Eastern Conference All-Star team, Tracy McGrady and…"

"Chen—Xiao!"

When the name that was taken for granted came out, the scene suddenly became boiling.

Whether it is a Chinese journalist, an American journalist, or a reporter from other countries, all of them are in full bloom at this time!

In the Eastern Conference's defender battle this year, Chen Xiao became the vote leader and McGrady became the last winner.

And Michael Jordan was indeed defeated in the end!

"Two Chinese were selected as All-Stars first, one of them is the vote king, which will be the biggest news in the world's sports industry tomorrow!"

"And tomorrow the second biggest news in the world's sports world is that the basketball god Michael Jordan was defeated as the NBA All-Star starter in his farewell season!"

"This year's NBA is incredible!"

After a little excited, the reporters on the scene immediately sent the news from the scene to the rear without stopping, preparing to edit these two big news.

At this moment, on the big screen, at the Nets and Wizards' match, TNT's commentator Barkley was already interviewing Chen Xiao about Chen Xiao's winning All-Star Ticket King and the starter, and Chen Xiao was also saying thank you.

"Chan, besides thanks, do you have anything else to say to the fans who support you all over the world?"

"There is another question, I'm sorry, I let you down."

Um?!

On TV, Barkley was a little stunned.

At the scene, the reporter who was typing or making a phone call also raised his head in a daze.

Even David Stern, who was about to go back, stopped and looked at the big screen on his head in confusion.

"The All-Star starter and All-Star ticket king are you and the most precious gift basketball has given me!"

"Before I met basketball, I was a poor boy who knew nothing about basketball. After meeting basketball, I got your love, attention, and countless money. Basketball changed my destiny, and I have always been grateful for this."

"So, I long for basketball to get better and better, and I hope I won't do anything that hurts basketball because of my selfishness."

"So, I also long to see all the good things in basketball, just like you guys."

"Many people say that I am an alternative among NBA players, an alternative with a fan mentality, and not as profession as other players. I admit that, just like what I did to Kobe before, just before this game, when I saw Michael, I suddenly longed to see his back jump shot that once made the whole world crazy, and told him that if he could make 10 back jump shots against my defense in this game, I would give him a precious gift."

"Michael's back jump shot did not accompany me. It was Kobe and Kevin Garnett who accompanied my basketball career. But it did not hinder my respect for Michael, because when I became an NBA professional, he gave me a lot of incredible help. He guided me forward and also guided my good friends Dwyane Wade, Ron Howard, my teammate Richard Jefferson, as well as many players in the NBA and the world."

"He is a great player who deserves respect from all basketball people, a spiritual mentor, his spirit, his behavior, the picturesque basketball he plays on the court, and has made an incredible contribution to basketball."

"It's him who makes basketball as beautiful as it is now!"

"Tonight, I received this most precious gift from you and basketball. Now, on behalf of basketball, I will give this precious gift to Michael Jordan, thank him for his great contribution to basketball!"

"I, Chen Xiao, now I will transfer my starting position in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game to Michael Jordan, hoping the league will allow it."

"Thanks to basketball, thank you, Michael!"

Looking at Chen Xiao’s sincere thanks on TV, he looked at the deadly loyal Qiao Mi LeBron James in front of the TV was completely stunned.

NBA All-Star Starter!

This is the NBA All-Star starter!

Give it as you say it!

Thank you basketball...

Don't do anything to hurt basketball...

basketball?

Need a thank you?

LeBron James is a very smart person, and he has never thought of such a problem before.

He always felt that it was natural for him to become KING, and he didn't need to thank anyone except his mother.

Now……

He was a little confused.

Without basketball, would I become King James, who is famous all over the United States?

If I play rugby, am I still King?

What Chen Xiao said when he presented this year's All-Star debut to Jordan is heartfelt.

It was not his temporary decision to give the starter to Jordan, nor was it because of the influence of Wade and Richard Jefferson, but his own decision.

Chen Xiao has always been in a state of fear and fear of everything he gets after getting the system and becoming a basketball player.

What virtue can he be, and what can he be so kind?

In the end, it can only be said that the God of Basketball gave him too much.
