052: Elite Eight(2/2)

As we all know, Jordan sold his shares in the Wizards in 2001, resigned from the team's management, and returned to the court after signing a two-year minimum salary.

Because the NBA has regulations that players cannot hold shares in the team, and the Wizards hope that Jordan will come back to lead the team into the playoffs, focusing the world's attention on the Wizards.

Therefore, Jordan had to "cleanse and leave the house" and come back as a player again.

At that time, Jordan made an agreement with Wizards owner Abi Pollin that after he truly ended his playing career and helped the Wizards attract popularity, he could immediately return to work in the Wizards' management.

However, the final result was not like this.

When Jordan retired after playing for the Wizards for two years and wanted to return to the management, Wizards owner Abby Pauling refused to let Jordan return to the management on the grounds that "the team needs to change its direction."

Jordan has always been a very competitive person and a winner who has achieved great success, so he will become quite angry when things don't go the way he expected.

From Jordan's point of view, commitment is more important than anything else. But from the team owner's point of view, as long as something is not written in black and white, it can be changed.

As a result, Jordan and Abby Pauline had a big fight, completely breaking up, and their relationship officially broke down.

That night, Jordan returned directly to Chicago, and Abby Pauline's wife also said: "Abby was so angry that she was shaking all over when she got home that night."

In this way, Michael Jordan temporarily faded out of the NBA. Although he still wanted to return to the league as a manager, after experiencing this betrayal or deception, Jordan still felt mentally and physically haggard.

He decided to take it slow and wait until the time is right before continuing his dream of being a team owner.

Now Jordan tries not to pay attention to NBA matters. He cares more about NCAA games than the NBA.

That kind of basketball environment that has nothing to do with business, no intrigues, no deception and betrayal, only about victory and hard work, makes Jordan miss it very much.

Jordan, who had just experienced intrigues, missed the simplicity of the NCAA.

Therefore, when Jordan learned that his alma mater, North Carolina, had once again reached the Elite Eight of March Madness, he immediately said: "I'm going to watch the game live!"

So, Jordan checked the lineup for this year's March Madness tournament.

The Flyers were very excited when they saw that North Carolina's opponent in the quarterfinals was Ohio State.

As the biggest dark horse this year, Ohio State is so famous that even Jordan has heard of it.

North Carolina vs. Dark Horse, just thinking about it, you know what a fierce game this will be.

Jordan then pre-purchased front row tickets and prepared to return to the scene to experience the atmosphere of campus basketball.

At the same time, we also have to witness our alma mater reach the final four again!

Well, Ohio State is very strong. They have a magical Chinese, a wise coach and a guard who is always motivated.

But so what? They are facing North Carolina!
