Jordan's expression was somewhat awkward.

Just as Barkley expected, the reason why he came was because he was competitive.

Everyone knows that Jordan is addicted to gambling, but no one knows why he likes gambling.

In fact, it should be said that he is "addicted to winning".

He was unbeatable on the court, and he wanted it to be the same at the gambling table.

It's just that there is too much truth about Xiao Jiujiu in this thing, and he will fall into trouble many times.

But he refused to accept it and continued to gamble.

And because he is Jordan, there will be no reaction from the outside world when he wins, but when he loses, it will be widely reported.

Over time, he became labeled as "a loser in every bet".

Does it feel familiar?

Yes, this is the same "apathy" label Durant encountered before.

This is what the media loves to do.

So after Barkley said something like that, he would use actual actions to prove that it was false.

Moreover, he has long been unhappy with the media, but due to his status, it is difficult for him to openly confront him.

This time, the topic can be used as a reference.

Question: Isn’t Jordan worried that he is really toxic?

Answer: Of course not. The story about losing in every bet is fabricated by the media. Is it possible that you will lose in every bet?!

And his affection for North Carolina is stronger than Ford's affection for the University of Texas.

He always felt that Dean Smith and North Carolina shaped him.

So even though it has been many years since he graduated, he still pays attention to North Carolina games every year.

Especially after retiring for the second time, he was really free and paid more attention to North Carolina than before.

He still knows the strength of this North Carolina team very well.

This is why he brought Erland to the scene and smiled when he saw the score.

When he first came, everything was as he expected!

It's just that North Carolina's performance in these two rounds after the timeout was a bit stretched.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in the audience at the moment, he wouldn't have been able to help but "point out" Jiangshan.

After halftime, the score was 35 to 32.

The University of North Carolina led the University of Texas by 3 points at halftime.

Although the University of Texas's full-court press was not very skillful, with its unremitting efforts and... Jordan's metaphysics, the University of Texas and North Carolina played a 50-50 draw.

It's just that the conditions of the players on both sides are quite different.

The University of North Carolina players still seem to have plenty of energy, while the University of Texas side is a little exhausted.

This is the result of different playing styles.

The University of Texas pressed hard for nearly half of the game, and the physical exertion was immeasurable. It relied entirely on tenacity to persist in the back.

It’s hard to say whether this method can last half the game, but not the whole game.

Not talking about competitions, a training recovery takes at least three hours.

The 15 minutes of the halftime period only allowed their tense bodies to relax a little.

In the second half, the real challenge was against the University of Texas.

There is a 15-minute halftime break. Generally, teams will divide these 15 minutes into three parts.

The first part: solving physiological needs. This process usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. Of course, if there are large ones, it will be calculated separately;

Part 2: The coach/assistant coach summarizes the first half, arranges tactics for the second half, and then encourages the players. This process usually takes about 5 minutes;

Part Three: Free activity time, this part lasts 7 to 8 minutes. In this era, most players will choose to listen to music, or eat some easily digestible food to replenish energy.

The North Carolina team members have just finished the second part and are preparing for the third part of free activities.

At this moment, the door to the locker room was pushed open.

Roy Williams frowned.

It is rude to enter the locker room without knocking.

He originally thought it was some rash reporter.

But when he turned around and saw the person coming, his brows straightened out, and then he smiled as brightly as a spring breeze.

The North Carolina locker room also burst into cheers.

Jordan, come to see them!

During the game, shots of Jordan were taken from time to time, and all of them knew that Jordan was there.

During the previous game, there were people on the bench discussing how to get Jordan's autograph or something after the game.

Well now, Jordan took the initiative to see them!

This is really rare for them.

You must know that no matter how strong or wealthy an NCAA team is, only a few will eventually enter the NBA.

Those who enter the NBA may have other opportunities to come into contact with Jordan in the future.

But for others, this is basically the only opportunity in their lives to have such close contact with the "God of Basketball"!

If it were you, wouldn't you be excited?

Jordan first gave his former coach a loving hug.

When Jordan played at North Carolina, the head coach was Dean Smith and the assistant coach was Roy Williams.

The relationship between the two and Jordan can be understood as the relationship between Rick Barnes, Springman and Durant at the University of Texas.

Although Roy Williams was not an assistant coach, he played a major role in recruiting Jordan and his subsequent college career.

So he and Jordan have a very close relationship.

Even if we don't have time to meet each other, we will keep in touch through text messages and phone calls.

"Roy, I have to teach these kids how to play ball today."

After greeting Williams, Jordan turned to the North Carolina players.

Obviously, he is not here to sign autographs with the North Carolina players or take photos with them.

Williams knew Jordan very well, and he had a bad feeling, but he still smiled and nodded.

It is precisely because he knows Jordan that he knows how much Jordan loves face.

"Wayne, you have to believe in yourself."

Jordan was the first to name Ellington.

Judging from the title, he was quite polite, but what he said later was not necessarily so.

"There is a ball in the first half. If you catch the ball from outside, you should take action decisively."

"Kevin Durant is coming up, I..."

Ellington was halfway through his explanation, but when he saw Jordan looking at him with a question mark on his face, he held back the rest of his words.

"Shoot the ball, and shoot decisively when you get the chance."

Jordan said it again, and his tone increased.

And he quickly added another sentence.

"If you are worried about being blocked, you can shake it before shooting, and then wait for him to fall in the air before shooting, do you understand?"

clear……

You know what the hell!

Ellington nodded, but in his heart ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past.

Will he wait until Durant's whereabouts before taking action?

Why didn't you say he just shot Durant in the face?

Seeing Ellington nod, Jordan was very satisfied, then turned his head and looked at Hansbrough.

"Taylor, challenge that Chinese player. He looks like he only weighs 100 kilograms. You are at least ten kilograms more than him. If you challenge him, he won't be able to withstand it."

As soon as Jordan said this, some netizens liked it one after another.

It turns out that I am on the same level as the God of Basketball!

Hansbrough nodded, but his expression was somewhat awkward.
