What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to Michael Jordan?
Did he only score 5 points in the All-Star Three-Point Contest?
Was it because they selected Kwame Brown, who was later hailed as the worst No. 1 pick?
Well, these two things can indeed be regarded as two embarrassing moments in his life.
After all, no one has broken the record of the All-Star Three-Point Contest so far.
And Kwame Brown has shown no signs of recovery so far.
Today, at this moment, there is no doubt that Michael Jordan has added another embarrassing moment in his life.
Before the game, he praised his alma mater to great heights, but now he felt so embarrassed.
The old rogue looked at the Cowboys players piled up on the field and the frustrated North Carolina three stars, still with an expression of "what the hell happened?"
One and a half minutes ago, North Carolina was still leading by 8 points, right? At that time, all the North Carolina fans in the stadium started to celebrate the victory in advance, right?
A few seconds ago, North Carolina still had a 2-point advantage, right? And the Cowboys had no timeouts, so they were in a very passive position, right?
But now? 79 to 78, the Cowboys beat North Carolina by a narrow margin of 1 point at the Seattle Center.
Well, in the final moments, the Chinese player No. 11 made the buzzer beater and ended everything.
That number 11, the Chinese.
He changed everything!
In the last minute and a half, he miraculously made three consecutive three-pointers to turn the situation around!
"Is it so fierce?" After a long time, Jordan finally spoke to himself.
He looked up at the big screen and found a close-up of his confused expression.
The old rogue suddenly felt uncomfortable. Damn it, this thing is going to be popular again.
Tomorrow, the headlines of all the major newspapers will definitely be about my unbelievable and dull expression.
I just wanted to come out and watch a college basketball game, experience the pure basketball atmosphere, and soothe my wounded heart.
As a result, my alma mater was defeated.
This is shrimp and pig heart!
Am I easy?!
That Chinese guy named Wayne... is no simple guy, he has some skills!
Anyone who can embarrass the old rogue is a well-known figure, isn't he?
The only one was Wayne, who made the old gangster embarrassed by transcending time.
On the court, Roy Williams is now sadder than Jordan.
He returned to North Carolina with the dream of winning the championship, and now he is just one step away from the semi-finals.
When they lifted the veil, they found that there was not seats for the top four but a cliff behind.
Wayne also helped kick North Carolina from behind.
Last year he lost to Anthony by 3 points, and this year he lost to Wayne by 1 point.
Williams felt so miserable that he even wondered if he was really cursed to not be able to win the championship.
It seems that the title of “the best coach without a championship” will continue to follow him.
That Chinese, it’s all because of that Chinese…
Before the game, Williams was very careful with Wayne.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Wayne .
"Old Sutton, that lucky guy..." Williams shook his head helplessly. This was the third game Sutton won with the help of Wayne!
After reaching the Final Four, can Wayne take the Cowboys one step further?
Williams didn't think about it any further, it was really a sad thing.
Larry Bird was so excited that he almost punched through the TV. If he hadn't felt so bad for his hand, he might have done it.
In order to release his excitement, Bird made another "harassing call" to Miller the moment the game ended.
He really wanted to share his joy with others.
"Did you see that, Reggie? Did you see what he just did? Were you watching the game?!"
As soon as Reggie Miller answered the phone, as expected, there was another burst of shouting that was loud enough to make the receiver explode.
But this time... Miller was not bored, he was unexpectedly excited!
"I saw Larry, that kid ... he showed no mercy when it mattered. And he made the buzzer-beater in front of Michael, which is very commendable."
Miller and Jordan are old enemies. For some reason, Miller felt secretly happy when he saw Jordan's confused expression after Wayne completed the buzzer-beater.
That leisurely guy would never have thought that the skinny Wayne would give him a big defeat!
To be honest, Miller had never felt anything for Wayne before. But today, after seeing the boy's big heart at the critical moment, he had to admit it.
He had some feelings for the Chinese man that Bird kept nagging about.
If Miller knew that Wayne not only made the last three-pointer, but also made three consecutive three-pointers at critical moments, his favorability towards Wayne would probably continue to soar.
As a member of the Pacers, Miller really likes this kind of tough player who is not afraid of strong players.
At least Wayne's temperament is quite consistent with the Pacers' style.
But... there's nothing we can do. After this game, Wayne's ranking will definitely rise.
As the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference this year, the Pacers cannot get along with Wayne.
Miller can only wish the kid the same success in the NBA in the future.

Wayne on the court didn't know how long he had been suppressed. He was really too manly.
After finally completing a buzzer beater, he was pushed down by a group of teammates before he could even do any Liu Bi celebration moves...
Where is Wade's "This is my horse"? Where is Kobe's "tearing off his jersey" and "Growling"? Where is Arenas' "celebration in advance"?
Nothing at all!
Tomorrow, in all the major newspapers, people will only see a photo of Wayne being pinned down by a bunch of teammates.
This lore celebration was such a failure...
When Wayne stood up, he found that the North Carolina players had already left the field.
What a pity, I didn’t get to see Sean May’s expression at that time.
I haven’t asked him what the “OK” tattooed on his hand means yet.
Just when Wayne was feeling depressed, members of the coaching staff came up to him and hugged him.
As soon as they hugged, reporters with cameras surrounded them.
Wayne suddenly felt so busy. Is it so troublesome after completing the buzzer-beater?
However, this is indeed a milestone night in my basketball career!
It was my first buzzer beater, even though it wasn’t a buzzer beater in a professional game, it was still very satisfying.
Wayne originally thought that the purple "Big Heart Killer" badge was the most useless, but now he only wants to say one thing: "Hey, it smells so good."
Especially the last shot, Tony didn't pass the ball well and Wayne was also defended very tightly.
But at the moment of shooting, Wayne really felt no pressure and his shooting felt very good.
This badge is amazing!
In Wayne's previous life, Robert Horry, who was not a star player, won 7 NBA championships in his career thanks to his key shots.
Wayne directly suspected whether Horry also had the same badge.
It’s a great buzzer beater.
After liking to talk trash on the court, Wayne now falls in love with the feeling of "walking on a tightrope" at critical moments.
Playing in the NCAA, I have picked up all these bad habits. Why don’t I learn anything good?
Back in the player tunnel, Wayne found a burly guy leaning against the wall as if waiting for him.
Sure enough, the man came up immediately after seeing Wayne.
this……
Isn’t that the old rogue himself?
He was actually waiting for me! ?
"Wayne!" Jordan looked straight into Wayne's eyes and shouted.
"Hello? Are you calling me? Oh, he is calling Wade..." Wayne was a little nervous. This is the god of basketball!
In the past, he could only see this guy in various highlights. But now, a real gangster is right in front of Wayne!
"You've embarrassed me today!" Jordan shook hands with Wayne in a friendly manner, but his tone was very serious.
"… There's nothing I can do, Michael. You guys didn't seize the opportunity, but 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 remain calm on the surface.
"You guys... you did a great job today, I hope you can continue to have a smooth journey, and I hope you can be picked at your desired position 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 else.
Maybe he just wanted to say a few words to today's protagonist in person.
Watching Jordan's back disappear around the corner of the player tunnel, Wayne suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Hope we can go smoothly?
Hope I can be picked in the order I want?
It’s over. It’s all over.
Jordan poisoned me!
This...the means of revenge is too vicious!
I'm just a child, why are you doing this to me.

Shortly after the game ended at the Seattle Center, former Sonics forward and current Sonics general manager Wally Walker also learned of Wayne's buzzer-beater.
He admired Wayne's performance very much. That guy was like an enhanced version of Rashard Lewis in rim protection.
Well, if the Seattle SuperSonics didn't have Lewis, maybe Wally Walker would be interested in Wayne.
But for now, apart from applauding Wayne, he will not create 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 SuperSonics actually have the strength to make the playoffs, but their lineup is not complete.
What they need to strengthen now is a point guard who can start and a strong center who can protect the rim.
As long as one of these two positions is strengthened, the Supersonics will usher in a qualitative change!
But the embarrassing thing is... they don't have many choices in this year's draft.
The SuperSonics are currently ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference, but their record is good enough to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference...
This is very depressing, as it means their draft pick this year may be in a mediocre position.
Talented centers and point guards such as Howard, Okafor, and Livingston are destined to miss out on Seattle.
The ones they could choose didn't seem to be able to achieve immediate reinforcement.
Currently, the Sonics' pre-selection target is high school center Robert Swift, who is known as "the last hope for native white centers in the United States."
But to be honest, Wally Walker is not very confident in the high school rookies. High school students need to be cultivated patiently, and Walker is eager for the team to enter the playoffs next season.
In addition, in recent times, the Celtics have suddenly become very interested in Swift, praising him a lot and seem to be ready to select him.
This made Walker very worried.
As we all know, when the Celtics announce their interest in a player and hype him up, you have to be careful.
Because they might be trying to trick you!
Back then, "Red Head" Auerbach even hyped up Keith Van Horn as the second Bird for the sake of Duncan.
Fortunately, the Spurs were not affected and still used the No. 1 pick to get Duncan, otherwise they would have been cheated by the Celtics.
Of course, Van Horn is not weak, but compared with Duncan, he is not on the same level at all.
Now, the Celtics are praising Swift again, which makes Wally Walker suspicious.
Regarding the talent show... it's really hard to make a decision...
