Chapter 896: 296: Former Helper Becomes the Biggest Threat (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Roger’s loud mouth couldn’t catch up with the 16-and-a-half-year-old James even in 20 years!
He has the same talent as Roger, but without Roger’s domineering personality.
His understanding of the game far surpasses others his age, and Jordan just agreed with James’ perspective.
"You’re right, LeBron. There’s always only one winner, so you must always find a way to be the winner. Cowards will inevitably be crushed in the game—this is the truth of competitive sports."
"I will try my best, sir."
"Good, let me have someone send you back. Your mother must be worried. If you need anything, call me anytime."
"Thank you, sir."
"Call me Michael."
"Thank you, Michael."
After James left, Juanita began to clean up the table.
Seeing her husband unable to take his eyes off the back of the Akron boy, she joked, "You seem more concerned about him than your own son."
"I’m just appreciating a basketball player, Juan. I was thinking, playing with him might be a wonderful thing."
"Wait, Mike, do you really want to come back in 2003 to play with him?" Juanita was a bit surprised; she had thought Jordan was just casually talking about coming back.
After all, in 2003, Michael Jordan was already 40 years old.
Playing in the NBA at 40 is not uncommon; Jabbar was still shining in the finals at 41.
But at that time, Jabbar was just an ordinary starting center. Would the proud Michael Jordan be willing to be an ordinary starting player?
Jordan pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke: "If we really have a chance to choose him, why not? A great player should have a great start. Sooner or later, he will make Cleveland a championship team. Sooner or later, he will personally end Roger’s reign. And I will be the director of all this!"
Michael Jordan is very confident; Roger’s rule will definitely be ended by someone. In fate, that someone’s name must be LeBron James!
Jordan doesn’t mind completing his revenge against Roger as a mastermind, doesn’t mind re-dominating the league as a mastermind.
There is still a year and a half until the 2003 draft, and Jordan believes that all this waiting is worth it.
The next day, major newspapers didn’t show much enthusiasm for the Hawks VS King’s game report.
Because many writers, after rushing their drafts overnight, were scolded by editors: "Is this your damn professional writing level? Roger defeating Chris Webber is not worth reporting. No one would be interested in something so expected! Damn, go back and rewrite some news that can arouse readers’ interest!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
So today, many newspaper headlines turned out like this.
"Chris Webber allegedly broke up with black supermodel Tyra Banks due to being bisexual."
"Chris is suspected of being gay, and his partner is bald."
"Spread the word, Chris allegedly dating Mike Bibby!"
Chris Webber felt frustrated, indicating they’d rather report his loss!
Even better than reporting that he was caught trading with an old employee at the Gold Club in Atlanta last night, at least proving his sexual orientation is normal!
On the bus from the hotel to the airport, Mike Bibby was the last to get on. At this time, only the seat next to Webber was empty.
Bibby glanced at Webber, hesitated for a moment, then squeezed in beside Divac and Peja: "Guys squeeze a bit, no seats left."
Webber: ???
Due to these reports, the King locker room experienced the biggest trust crisis.
No way, only similar news could intrigue the fans.
In short, Roger defeating Webber did not cause much reaction in itself.
In Roger’s dazzling career, this was just a common victory.
But for Stephen Jackson, this was definitely a milestone game in his career.
When attending training the next day, Stephen Jackson saw Roger in the locker room and greeted him as usual.
Usually, Roger hardly ever talked to Stephen Jackson. No matter what he did, in Roger’s eyes, he seemed like air.
Reason?
Just like Roger said at the preseason training camp: You’re just a guy who might get cut the next day, so I don’t need to waste my breath on you.
Today, Stephen Jackson didn’t expect Roger to respond, but as soon as he opened his locker door, he heard Roger’s voice: "Good morning, Stephen, although Chris is an insignificant opponent, I must say, you played well yesterday."
Roger just said a common word, but Stephen Jackson was stunned for a few seconds and couldn’t help but grin foolishly.
When Roger no longer ignored Stephen Jackson, that could only mean one thing—Roger started to see Stephen Jackson as a real teammate.
The fact is, Stephen Jackson has already proven with his actions that he is qualified to be a formal member of the team.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Stephen Jackson is safe yet.
His contract guarantees the part only after playing all regular-season games, which is obviously his biggest goal this season.
Therefore, he still needs to keep working hard.
Stephen Jackson made the Hawks’ rotation more complete, resulting in the Hawks not losing their first game this season until November 20th.
November 20th, Hawks VS Detroit Pistons, Palace of Auburn Hills arena became the first place of the season to bury the Hawks.
