058: The old hooligan attacked me(2/2)
In the past, you could only see this guy's demeanor in various collections. But now, a real-life gangster is right in front of Wayne!
"You have embarrassed me enough today!" Jordan shook hands with Wayne in a friendly manner, but his tone was very serious.
"...There's no way Michael, you didn't seize the opportunity, and I never let an opportunity slip away."
Wayne shrugged. Although he was a little excited when he saw the real gangster, he still had to keep calm on the surface.
"You guy... your performance today was great. I hope you can go on smoothly, and I hope you can be selected with your favorite pick this summer.
Of course, if you want to survive in the league in the future, you'd better get stronger. I'm not kidding you, this is sincere advice."
Jordan patted Wayne's arm, then smiled and waved goodbye without saying anything more.
Maybe, he just wanted to have a few words with today's protagonist.
Seeing Jordan's back disappearing around the corner of the tunnel, Wayne suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Hope we can go on smoothly?
Hope I can be selected in the draft of my choice?
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Jordan poisoned me!
Damn... the revenge methods are too vicious!
I'm just a child, why do you do this to me.

Shortly after the game at the Seattle Center Arena, former Sonics forward and current Sonics general manager Wally Walker also learned about Wayne's buzzer-beater.
He admired Wayne's performance. That guy was like an enhanced version of Rashad Lewis who protected the rim.
Well, if the Seattle SuperSonics don't have Lewis, maybe Wally Walker will be interested in Wayne.
But at present, apart from applauding Wayne, he will no longer have any sparks with Wayne.
Since Kemp and Payton left, the Seattle SuperSonics' record has plummeted.
Although they have new idols like Ray Allen and Lewis, the team's record has not improved significantly.
Wally Walker believes that the Sonics actually have playoff potential, but their lineup is not complete enough.
What they need to strengthen now is a point guard who can play the starting role and a strong center who can protect the rim.
As long as one of these two positions is strengthened, the Sonics can usher in a qualitative change!
But the embarrassing thing is... they don't have many options in this year's draft.
The Sonics are currently ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference, but their record in the Eastern Conference is enough to make the playoffs...
This is very depressing, and it means that their draft picks this year may be at a neither high nor low position.
Talented insiders and point guards such as Howard, Okafor, and Livingston are all destined to miss Seattle.
What they can choose seems to be unable to achieve the effect of immediate reinforcement.
Currently, the SuperSonics' pre-selected target is high school center Robert Swift, who is known as the "last hope for a white American center."
But to be honest, Wally Walker is not very confident in high school rookies. High school students need to be patiently cultivated, and Walker hopes that the team will enter the playoffs next season.
In addition, during the recent period, the Celtics have suddenly become very interested in Swift, boasting about him and wanting to select him.
This made Walker very worried.
As we all know, when the Celtics announce their interest in a player and tout it like crazy, you have to be careful.
Because they might be trying to trick you!
I think back then, "Red Head" Auerbach even promoted Keith Van Horn to become the second Bird for Duncan.
Fortunately, the Spurs were not affected and still used the No. 1 pick to win Duncan, otherwise they would have been cheated by the Celtics.
Of course, Van Horn is not weak either. But compared to Duncan, he is not on the same level at all.
Now, the Celtics are bragging about Swift again, which makes Wally Walker suspicious.
Chapter completed!
