Chapter 297: Welcome back

Jordan retired, the fans could not calm down for a long time.
The same goes for the boss of the Bulls, "Michael retires, how I hope this day will never come."
No one wants to see Jordan retiring, but it has really happened, so you can only accept it.
Without Jordan, the Bulls will continue to play the game.
Without Jordan in the game, life still has to go on.
...
On January 21, five days after Jordan retired, labor and management signed the new agreement. This season has shrunk to 54 regular season games.
The dispute ended in compromise, and the 204-day farce finally ended.
However, the suspension has too much impact on the league, on players, and on the team.
After the long vacation, many stars are eating, drinking and having fun, and their bodies are seriously out of shape.
The supersonic Wen-Baker is already 500 pounds of fat;
Camp also gained weight, the whole person was round, and the obvious muscle lines before have now become fat;
O'Neill is fatter than when he appeared in "Uncle Drew". When he participated in a charity event, he couldn't even wear XXXL shorts...
The new season will start on February 5th, and there is not much time left for everyone to lose weight...
...
The players are busy exercising to lose weight, and the team's work is naturally intensive.
The late free agent market is finally a bit lively.
The super free agent market in 1996, this time the market is naturally too small.
However, one person has become the sweet bun in the eyes of the entire league.
Li Nan, a free agent who just returned from Italy!
In this long holiday, but to show off.
In the September World Championships, Li Nan led the Chinese team to a historic fourth place and won the MVP award.
In the Asian Cup in December, Li Nan led the Chinese team to a complete victory and won the MVP award.
As soon as the Italian league started in November, Li Nan showed his extraordinary strength.
He breaks sharply and can often pass his opponent in one step. Shots are accurate, three-pointers are not missed. His dunk skills are extraordinary, and he often performs amazing dunks.
In 36 games, Li Nan averaged 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
Although it was only a temporary contract, Li Nan played as the best player in the Italian league.
Because of Li Nan's joining, the Bologna team was suddenly promoted from the mid-range team to the top favorite teams to win.
…
In Philadelphia, although the media met Li Nan himself, Li Nan did not accept interviews at all.
Therefore, people in the media can only figure it out for themselves.
"Chinese Li may go to Chicago."
"The Philadelphia Gemini has been at odds for a long time, and Li will definitely choose to leave."
"It is reported that three-quarters of the league's teams are chasing Lee!"
"The Lakers are Lee's best choice!"
The media was raging, saying everything.
...
Stepping into the Wachovia Center Arena again, Li Nan still felt so familiar.
Familiar place, familiar people, familiar taste.
Uncle Security embraced Li Nan enthusiastically, "Li, welcome back!"
Li Nan also laughed and said, "Old John, you have eaten a lot this holiday."
Old John touched his belly indifferently, "Hehehe, it's a blessing to be able to eat. Isn't that what you said?"
"Well, old John, what you said is right. I hope, I hope you don't eat a ball." Li Nan continued to tease.
"That might be OK, hahaha." Old John laughed, smiling heartily.
...
"Lee, it's nice to meet you."
"Li, you are coming back just in time!"
"Lee,..."
Li Nan walked all the way to the boss's office, and everyone he met along the way was smiling.
This smile makes the heart very refreshing.
Justin who followed Li Nan was also proud. When he walked, his chin was raised higher unconsciously.
...
Knocking~
"In!"
Pushing open the door of the general manager's office, there are two old men sitting inside, general manager Greenberg, and head coach Larry Brown. All three are smiling.
"Li, welcome back!"
The simple "Welcome Back" is very comfortable.
"Thank you. It's nice to see you again."
After everyone greeted each other, General Manager Greenberg also went straight ahead.
"Lee, look, this is the contract we negotiated before."
Li Nan stuffed the contract into Justin's hand, but glanced at another contract on the table.
"Huh? Is this Allen's contract extension?"
Greenberg smiled directly. This contract was placed here on purpose. He believed that Li Nan would be able to see through such a trick.
"Lee, we have to renew Allen in advance."
Greenberg deliberately said this, but Li Nan didn't care, "This is a good thing."
Greenberg pushed the contract over again, "Don't you look at the amount of the renewal?"
Li Nan waved his hand, "No need."
"87 million in 7 years!" Greenberg said it himself.
Li Nan smiled, "hen~ quite a lot."
Greenberg continued to follow up: "Lee, you can actually take so much."
"Ahem!" Larry Brown on the side interrupted Greenberg.
Didn’t you say everything before? Just sign it. As a result, this guy was troublesome.
What a headache.
"Lee, you seem to be in a good state now." Larry Brown changed the subject abruptly.
"It's okay. There are games, it's definitely better than here." Li Nan is in good condition now.
"Indeed! Much better than those fat guys." The thought of those fat guys made Larry Brown a headache even more.
"By the way, Li, tell me, how does it feel to play in Italy?"
"Is it over there? Basketball over there pursues teamwork..."
Slowly, the two of them also chatted.
Talked about the Italian game, talked about the differences between the two sides, talked about the customs of Italy, talked about Li Nan’s little girlfriend...
Then, Larry Brown turned to the 76ers' current season~EbookFREE.me~Lee, what do you think of this season? "
This season? This season can't be shorter?
From February 5th to May 5th, playing 50 games in 90 days, back-to-back is certainly commonplace, and back-to-back is certainly not surprising.
tired! This season must be very tiring!
However, Li Nan's views on this season are naturally another word.
"Chaos!" Li Nan said a word, then continued, "We want to win in chaos!"
Larry Brown nodded in agreement, "What about your goal?"
Before Li Nan said it, someone suddenly spoke for him. "Of course it is the championship!"
Iverson dragged in and leaned back on the chair next to Li Nan.
Seeing Iverson’s self-confidence, Larry Brown’s mouth bends involuntarily...
