Looking at Artest's appearance, Zhang Hao said, "Okay, come and see Jordan's press conference."

"Oh." Artest sat next to Zhang Hao.

The TV screen shows a press conference held before Jordan was hospitalized for surgery, which has begun.

"Thanks to the Hawks for giving me this opportunity to come back and compete. I played very happily this season with the Hawks..."

After Jordan said this, everyone knew that after he recovered from injury, he would no longer play in the Hawks. They all began to thank the team and their teammates.

At the beginning of the season, experts and commentators predicted that Jordan just used the Hawks as a springboard, first proved to the Hawks that even if he was old, he was strong, and then looked for a team that gave him enough shots, high enough status, and respected enough.

Of course, the Hawks are not losing money. As of now, the number of live broadcasts in the Hawks has reached 9 times that of last season, and the ticket price has more than quadrupled compared to last season. According to media reports, the average price of tickets sold by the Hawks is 5.5 times that of last season.

Jordan thanked the team and thanked his teammates, and the reporter asked about the elbow injury he had been injured by Artest this time.

Jordan smiled and said, "This is so cool. I still remember his arm very deeply. This is not a good defense, but he doesn't have to pay attention. He has just entered the NBA for the first year. He doesn't know how to deal with it when he can't defend. He is very tough. This is his advantage..."

"Pu"

The TV was turned off.

"Boss, why did you turn off the TV?"

"I thought he would curse you, but it turned out to be nothing, it's boring."

“…”

Artest is so crazy!

Renben Wallace plays poorly and encounters trouble, and the boss of this team is so gentle to comfort him.

Why did he come to him either beat or scold him? Now that he has something to do, he won’t comfort him?

Why is the difference between people's treatment so big?

Even though he was slandering, Artest was not stupid, and he knew that Zhang Hao was waiting for him here.

Jordan's response was very similar to Artest's childhood idol.

He knew that he could have thought that Jordan would respond like this, and Zhang Hao would have thought that...

However, the fact that he broke his idol's ribs... No matter how he thought about it, Artest still felt worried and scared. After returning to Seattle yesterday to learn about this, he didn't dare to go out for a day, and today was the last time he went to the stadium.

After a while, it was almost 9 o'clock. Artest was about to go to the conference room. The team meeting was about to begin. Zhang Hao's cell phone rang, picked it up, said a few words, and handed it to Artest.

"Mr. Jordan called."

Artest almost lost money when he received the call from Zhang Hao.

Artest put his phone next to his ear tremblingly. Although Jordan did not say anything bad about him in the live press conference, he was still very scared.

Finally, after hearing Jordan's voice, Artest's mood began to improve significantly. After hanging up the phone, he became excited.

"Let's go, the pre-match meeting is about to begin."

"Boss, don't you want to know what Jordan said to me?"

"In no mood."

"I'm going to say it! Jordan told me that it's okay, he wasn't angry with me, and said that if he wanted to compensate him, let me wait until his injury healed and serve as a sparring agent for him!"

"So you're going to hurt him in the summer and give him another three months of rest?"

“…I can’t talk to you anymore!”

...

...

Jordan's injury was a very panic for Artest because it was caused by him.

But for the Supersonics, it is just news that players from other teams are injured.

Although the schedule for the next month and a half is not easy to play, there is some good news. For example, two-thirds of their next 21 games will be home games.

At 7:10 pm, the Supersonics followed their opponents into the stadium to face the Warriors.

The Warriors are currently 14 wins and 48 losses, second to last in the West and third to last in the league.

Billups, the second-tier 1 pick in the 1997th, not only made slow progress in his early career, but also had poor luck. He was reimbursed after the All-Star Weekend, and also injured and stopped before the All-Star Weekend. In short, he played a total of 21 games this season.

Not only that, Jamison was injured a few days ago, and the season was also reimbursed, and he couldn't play for more than a month.

The Supersonics both made a very strong attack against the Warriors, defeating the Warriors 117 to 88 by 29 points, improving their record to 45 wins and 17 losses.

On March 12, we had less than 24 hours of rest. At 8 pm, the Supersonics' home game against the Raptors started.

After the Raptors sent Damon Stoudemire away and replaced Joan Barry and Robert Horry, their strength improved significantly. Although Damon Stoudemire's value is much higher than that of Joan Barry and Robert Horry, Damon Stoudemire's hand has no ball, and only counterattacks and catch shots. The defensive end is tall and not tall, and the body is not strong, and the consciousness is still average. He averaged 39 minutes per game in the first four years of his career, but only 1.6 steals. With his height and speed, he obviously failed.

If it were Joan Barry, although his ability was not as good as Damon Stoudemire, he was tall enough on the defensive end. Doug Christie and Carter went to the point guard, and Joan Barry could at least behave properly when defending the wing pitcher.

The game started tonight and the Supersonics were in a tough position at the beginning, but after Artest came on the court, relying on Artest's continuous hard chiseling, the Supersonics pulled the situation back.

Artest played very hard tonight because his old rival Odom was mocking him for breaking Jordan's ribs before winning the game after entering the game.

Odom originally wanted to use this to attack Artest and weaken the Supersonics' defensive ability of the substitute lineup, but he did not expect to backfire.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Supersonics played a 13-7 wave with the lineup of Murch Brecklow, Cassel, Artest, Jason Williams and Ben Wallace, and tied the Raptors 46-46 at the end of the half.

Artest played from 9 minutes and 33 seconds in the first quarter and played the rest of the first half, with 11 points and 2 steals, which was really outstanding.

In the second half, the two teams played very anxiously.

Until 11 minutes and 41 seconds in the last quarter, Doug Christie made two points in a single step-down attempt against James Percy. The Raptors overtook the Supersonics by 95-94 and took the initiative at critical moments!

But when he turned around, Zhang Hao fired from outside the three-point line and set off on the "kill moment". With 4 seconds left, the Supersonics overtook two points 97 to 95 at the critical moment.

But the Supersonics and fans on the scene did not give the chance to be happy for too long. With 4 seconds left, the Raptors called for a timeout and came back. Carter received the ball and transported it to the top arc. He made a three-pointer with a long position more than one meter across the three-point line. He made a buzzer-beating shot! 98 to 97, Carter defeated Zhang Hao!

Carter, Odom and others kept mocking Artest for breaking Jordan's ribs before the game started. In turn, the Supersonics were also mocking the Raptors for their "86-point miracle".

In the end, Carter finally regained some face and gave it to the Supersonics team to lose the 18th game of the season.

...

Zhang Hao and Carter fought a fight with the gods. Carter, who scored a key goal afterwards, laughed to the end, but Zhang Hao was not ridiculed. Many people regretted that he failed to win the fifth final victory of the season. It was a little more difficult to surpass the rookie's personal achievements of 6 final victory in a single season, and the 7 regular season 97-98 season and 10 final victory in a single season with 3 final victory in the playoffs.

Of course, there is more news about chasing Carter's key ball ability.

This game has a special significance to the Raptors.

It has been the fifth year since its founding, and the Raptors defeated Zhang Hao for the first time in the history of the Raptors!

So someone mentioned Damon Stoudemire...

But Carter's news and public opinion in this regard are very interesting.

Since the second grade, Carter has averaged 26.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and has often performed very well. When he performed very well, the media and experts praised him.

But for some reason, after a few days, people mentioned him again and his dunk again...

On March 14, the Supersonics ushered in the last game of three consecutive games, playing against the Grizzlies at home.

Losing to the Raptors the day before yesterday, Zhang Hao's record of 8 consecutive wins against the Raptors was ended, but fortunately, the Raptors sent Damon Stodmeier away!

I only met Damon Stadmeier when I played against the Grizzlies today.

The Supersonics players were furious and were furious to the Raptors tonight.

Zhang Hao played for 29 minutes. After the third quarter, he did not play again in the fourth quarter. He scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His personal triple-double increased to 26 times in the season. Kassel was very powerful and directly turned around and made a mid-range shot at the last moment of the third quarter, avoiding the embarrassment of Zhang Hao's appearance in garbage time.

After the third quarter, with Zhang Hao's triple-double in three quarters, Kassel's 31 points in three quarters, Ben Wallace's performance of 11 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks, the Supersonics led the Grizzlies 80-52 28 points!

In the end, the Supersonics slaughtered the Grizzlies 104-70, winning the 46th game of the season, improving their record to 46 wins and 18 losses.

"Rat-killing master:

Target: Zhang Hao must win every time he fights Damon Stoudemire.

Mission reward: Zhang Hao's winning streak against Damon Stodmeier is the same number of life span. If he completes a cross-season winning streak, his life span is the final victory multiplied by the cross-season length. (He has defeated Damon Stodmeier for the 10th time in 4 consecutive seasons)

Congratulations to the host for receiving a 40-day life span reward.

Special signing player Zhang Hao helped his Supersonics defeat the Grizzlies as the main player. Congratulations to the host for receiving a 5-day lifespan reward.

The remaining life span is 1709 days, and the available life span is 1708 days..."

40 days of life!

The depression of being defeated by the Raptors the day before yesterday was finally vented.

"The Little Flying Squirrel has been traded to the West. It's awesome. You can get dozens of extra days of life every season... It's a pity that he was traded later in the season. We have to play 4 games with the Grizzlies a year! It's okay, there's next season..."

On the other side, Damon Stoudemire was depressed. He left the Raptors and the Raptors beat Zhang Hao. When he was there, the Raptors faced Zhang Hao's eight consecutive losses... Suddenly, he was walking towards the player channel and felt a chill and full of malice!

...

...

The Supersonics lost 46 and 18, and the Grizzlies, which had three young stars, Damon Stoudemire, Raheem and Brand, lost the game, and the Grizzlies disappointed many fans.

Unlike NBA professional players, the Grizzlies exchanged Mike Bibby for Damon Stoudemire who averaged 20 points and 8 assists per game, plus Brand, who averaged 20+10 per game, and Rahim, who averaged 20+10 per game, public opinion is hyping that the Grizzlies are about to rise.

But after the All-Star Weekend, the Grizzlies were not as good as the first half of the season, and so far they are 2 wins and 11 losses, almost shoulder to shoulder with the Warriors and Clippers.
To be continued...
