NBA backer king

Chapter 407 Selected into the Top [-] Superstars
On the morning of January 1st, the league announced that the all-star voting event will start for a month.This year's All-Star Weekend will be held in Cleveland from February 1th to 2th.

This afternoon, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

At 10 o'clock this morning, the league announced some statistics and the MVP rankings.

Relying on the Suns' record of 26 wins and 3 losses in the league, as well as outstanding personal data and performance, Wang Tiejun continues to rank first in the MVP position, and at the same time continues to dominate the scoring, rebounding, and block kings.

到目前为止，场均上场41分钟，场均出手23.2次，命中率62.5%，场均35.5分16.7篮板6.1助攻1.2抢断4盖帽1.8失误3.1犯规。

In the past two months, his performance has been radiant. Although his personal performance is not as terrifying as averaging 40 points per game last season, his average of 35.5 points per game is still impressive.And the performance is more versatile, as evidenced by the three data kings.

Jordan averaged 31.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1.9 fouls per game. He is close to 34 years old and still has such incredible statistics.

However, in terms of team record and personal performance, it is lower than Wang Tiejun, and can only rank second.

……

After dinner at the Wuguan, Old Wang returned to the villa.

He also came with Zhang Lili, Su Qun and the others, who also brought a case of beer, as well as some appetizers such as chicken feet and braised pig ears.

He asked the workers to bring some fruits to Zhang Lili and the others, and after a short rest, he began to practice plum blossom steps in the backyard.

"Hurry up, Iron Army, it's about to start."

"coming."

The training ended at almost 9:[-], Wang Tiejun took a quick shower, came to the living room and sat next to Zhang Lili, the TV was tuned to the TNT sports channel.

As for the beer bottles and appetizers that had just been filled on the coffee table, they had already been cleaned up, and the camera team of the trio also took a stance, and the camera was aimed at Pharaoh.

The selection of the Top [-] Superstars, which has been hyped for a long time, ended yesterday. The NBA and TNT TV have jointly organized a special program on the Top [-] Superstars, which will be broadcast soon.

This program invited six retired superstars, all of whom have almost reserved the position of the top [-] superstars, including Chamberlain and Russell, a pair of friends and enemies, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, a pair of black and white duo, and the famous Pistons Isaiah Thomas, and the famous Lakers Skyhook Kareem.

The host is Bill Walton, who is also a retired superstar who has a good chance of being selected as one of the top [-] superstars this time.

Zhang Lili and the others came to Wang Tiejun's place, of course, to record the moment when Lao Wang was selected into the top [-], and to take pictures.

"cough!"

Zhang Lili took the microphone, started the formal interview, and asked, "Tie Jun, are you confident that you will be selected into the top [-]?"

"Have."

"why?"

"Brother Zhang, you are talking nonsense! Can you ask a new question?"

"Haha, Tie Jun, the interview, be serious."

"Ahem, because, what, are you sure you want to listen to me boasting?"

"Puchi! Haha..."

That's when the show started.

Bill Walton held a red envelope in his hand, with an excited smile on his face, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV, our show has begun. Please look at my hand. This is a secret message I just received from the NBA headquarters."

He shook the envelope in his hand, and continued to yell: "This is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA. The [-] greatest superstars in the league were selected by [-] of the most professional reporters, retired players, and coaches. They are now in my hands..."

"Okay, Bill, give me that thing quickly." Larry Bird stretched out his hand and said seriously.

Bill Wharton didn't realize it, and was about to hand it over. After half of the handing over, he realized it. He quickly retracted and scolded, "Larry, this is mine. I'll announce it. Can you just sit there quietly?"

"Then read it quickly, don't waste time." Laribert laughed.

"Yes, don't waste your time."

New York, inside O'Neill's villa, he yelled impatiently.

"I'm in no hurry."

Chicago, Jordan's home, he is smoking a cigar, very leisurely.

"Hurry up, buddy!"

Houston, Barkley urged.

"Bill, you idiot, read it out quickly, and then I can feel at ease." Salt Lake City, the postman's home, urged Karl Malone with two big dumbbells.

His good chanterelle, John Stockton, was sitting on the edge of the small table next to him, drinking his coffee, staring at the TV, and muttering in his mouth: "Don't be nervous, Carl, we will definitely be on the list, so you can rest assured."

"Who's nervous?"

The postman looked back and said angrily, "John, your glass is already empty."

"what?"

John Stockton was taken aback, and quickly picked up the coffee pot with a smile and added a cup of coffee.

At the scene of the show, under the urging of everyone, Bill Wharton quickly tore open the envelope and took out a piece of white letter paper.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on it immediately, and their breathing became short of breath, as did some people in front of the TV.

As soon as Bill Walton opened the letter paper, he looked at the top. The first column was the list of point guards. He immediately looked down and pulled his eyes to the bottom, where he saw the list of centers he wanted to see the most.

"Bill, you read it out!"

Seeing that Bill Wharton's eyeballs kept rolling up and down, but he just didn't speak, the smiling assassin Thomas said angrily.

"Come on, stop dawdling!"

"Bill?"

Others also cheered up one after another, as did many people in front of the TV, there were some who cursed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bill Walton laughed happily, and the more he laughed, the happier he was, because he saw his name. He is now one of the top [-] superstars in NBA history and one of the greatest centers in league history.

"Damn it, bring that thing here." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got up and ran to Bill Wharton in two steps, gesturing to grab the letter.

"No, I'll read it right away." Bill Wharton stepped aside quickly, pushed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar away, and shouted with a smile, "Sit back quickly, Skyhook, don't make a mess of it."

"Hurry up, don't be a fool." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said angrily.

He knows that he will definitely be selected into the top [-], but it will not be counted until it is officially announced, so he is more or less anxious, but the most important thing is to cooperate with Bill Wharton to create a little tense atmosphere.

"This guy Bill must have seen his name."

"Yes, otherwise he should cry."

"Bill, come on."

Several other people shouted one after another.

"Cough cough..."

Bill Walton coughed twice, held up the letter paper, and said with a smile: "Then let's start, let's start with the point guard."

In front of the TV, all the most famous point guards retired or active in the NBA couldn't help but tense up.

Even if it was Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas on the scene, or John Stockton in front of the TV, although they were all sure, but they didn't announce it, the suspense made them somewhat nervous.

Bill Walton smiled and said: "There are a total of point guards selected among the top [-] superstars in the NBA. Let me count them, one, two, three... oh, there are nine in total..."

"Read it!" Isaiah Thomas urged silently.

"Nate Archibald..."

Bill Wharton finally pronounced the first name.

"yeah!"

In an old townhouse in New York, Archibald cheered, and his family also cheered excitedly.

"The great Archibald is the shortest scoring leader in the league so far, and the only point guard who has both scoring and assists in his arms. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991. He won a championship in the Green Team, an All-Star AMVP, 3 best first teams, 2 best second teams, a scoring leader and an assists leader, and 6 All-Stars."

Bill Wharton read some more of Archibald's honors, which is why he was selected.

"Congratulations Knight!"

Magic Johnson sent their congratulations one after another.

Next, Bill Walton read again: "The second point guard selected to the top [-] is..."

"Bill, don't be so secretive, can you hurry up?" Thomas's usual smile disappeared, and he urged with his eyes wide open.

"OK OK!"

Bill Wharton was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly read again: "Bob Cousy..."

Next, Dave Bing, Walter Frazer, Oscar Robertson, Elvin Johnson, Lenny Wilkens, John Stockton, Isaiah Thomas and others were selected.

There are seven retired players and two active players, making a total of nine players who were selected as one of the top fifty point guards.

"Congratulations, Erwin, Isaiah..." Everyone congratulated again.

"If this continues, when will we reach the center?" Old Wang wiped the sweat from his brow in front of the TV, and said dissatisfiedly, "I might as well read tomorrow's newspaper, wasting time."

"Old K, can you wait until tomorrow?" Su Qun asked with a smile.

Lao Wang thought for a while, then honestly shook his head and said, "I can't wait."

"Haha..." Several people laughed loudly.

Next, Bill Walton began to announce the list of shooting guards, namely George Gervin, Hal Greer, Sam Jones, Pete Maravich, Earl Monroe, Bill Sharman, Jerry West, Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan.

There are also seven people who have retired, and two people who are active, making a total of nine people.

"Congratulations, Clyde."

"Thank you, thank you! Charles, it will be your turn soon."

"Of course, haha..."

In Houston, Barkley called the glider and sent his congratulations.

"Congratulations, Clyde."

"Thanks, Hakim, you'll be there soon."

"Yes, it should be like that."

Los Angeles's Big Dream called the glider, and it took a long time to get through. Drexler's phone is too busy at the moment, and both the mobile phone and the landline are on the phone.

Phoenix, Lao Wang also made a phone call and sent his congratulations.

Also in Phoenix, Kobe looked at the TV at his home and said to himself confidently: "Ten years later, when the league's top [-] superstars are selected, among the shooting guards, I will definitely be on the list."

Next is the small forward, also nine people, eight retired, namely Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird, Rick Barry, etc., only Pippen was selected in active service.

Then there are power forwards, a total of eight people, six retired, and two active players are Barkley and Karl Malone.

"Charles, congratulations, you are actually selected, it's a surprise, this is a huge surprise!" Old Wang quickly called to congratulate.

Barkley was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and he said angrily, "Don't worry, old K, you won't have any surprises tonight."

"Yes, it's a steady fifty, I really don't feel any surprise." Old Wang said with a smile.

"Damn it, old K, I'll call later to comfort you, don't let it get you down." Barkley couldn't beat Lao Wang, and hung up the phone hastily.

Next, it's the center's turn.

The first four positions only occupy 35 positions, that is to say, the center position will occupy the remaining fifteen positions.

This data also shows that the history of the league is a history dominated by centers. Among the five positions, the center is the most important and brightest position.

This is also in line with the league's long-standing team building strategy, which is to build a team with a center as the core.

"The first was the great Bill Wharton..."

Next, the list of center forwards was announced, and Bill Walton was the first to pronounce his name, and he was crowned with a great name.

"This smelly and shameless!" Jabbar muttered.

"Who is this person?" Zhang Bott pretended to be disdainful.

"Ha ha……"

Bill Wharton didn't care about this. After laughing happily a few times, he read a series of famous names. They are Kareem Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Dave Cowens, Moses Malone, George McCann, Robert Parish, Willis Reed, Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Wes Unseld.

"These are the 11 retired players, and there are four active players. They are... Let me see." Bill Wharton said this, and began to play tricks again.

At this time, the most nervous ones are the three active super centers in front of the TV, O'Neal who is recovering from his injuries, and Lao Wang.

"Damn it, how come the retired ones take up eleven positions?" New York, O'Neill said very depressed.

There are four remaining active players, and the three veteran super centers must have a share. Then the remaining one, can he compete with Old K?

Bill Wharton had had enough of it, and then read: "They are Hakeem Olajuwon..."

"yeah!"

In Los Angeles, Dameng roared excitedly.

"...David Robinson, Patrick Ewing..."

Bill Walton read out two more names, so that the three veteran active super centers were all included in the top [-], leaving only the last name.

"call!"

O'Neill took a deep breath. Although he knew that the possibility of being selected was very small, he always had a dream. Otherwise, what is the difference between a human and a salted fish?What if those reporters and coaches go crazy?

Likewise, Lao Wang was really nervous.

Confidence is one thing, but nervousness is also difficult to control, not to mention that there are CCTV cameras nearby.

"the last one……"

Bill Wharton read the name aloud: "Old K! Wang Tiejun!"

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, miracles are not easy to happen, and O'Neill immediately flopped down on the sofa.

"Oh hoo!"

Lao Wang let out a strange cry and stood up with his fists raised.

"Ding ding..."

Then his mobile phone and landline rang one after another, full of congratulatory calls and text messages.After receiving these calls and reading all the text messages, more than an hour has passed.

At this time, the news of the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has spread all over the world, and of course it has also been transmitted back to China, and Lao Wang has been receiving congratulatory calls from China.

"Dabao's father, congratulations!"

"Fucking Dabao, let's rejoice together, haha!"

"Honey, I don't plan to come over this season. Dabao is only three months old and is too young. I don't worry about flying at such a young age. Anyway, you will be back in four more months. What do you think?"

"What do you mean more than four months? I will definitely reach the finals in June this year. Can you say something nice?"

"Pfft!"

"That's fine, wait for me to bring a championship back to my son."

After chatting with Yu Feihong for a long time, he couldn't be happier, so he, Zhang Lili and the others opened another bottle of champagne, drank a few glasses happily, and went to bed until midnight to celebrate.

I got up early the next day and received another good news. Mammoth broke ground on the factory in Jin*jiang City, FJ Province, and it will be able to produce sneakers a year later.He still expects Mammoth to continue to develop, and going bankrupt will not do him any good.

Next, the regular season continues.
