Chapter 101: The bull is coming!

After sitting on the drinking fountain and sitting empty all night, Kobe's mind had already surfaced, Su Feng turned over and over.
In case of emergency, Kobe turned off his mobile phone.
Philadelphia.
After returning to the apartment after the press conference, Su Feng couldn't sleep.
He was tossing and turning on the bed excitedly, even rolling around ...
Is, after all, the first show of his career, coupled with the play of the lore, and for Su Feng who has paid countless sweats in the past two years, how happy is it?
For a long time, Su Feng picked up his mobile phone and prepared to call Bryant.
"Shut down?"
Su Feng is a little unhappy.
Because Kobe failed to share his joy, he felt imperfect.
It was like this, until the middle of the night, Su Feng, who could not sleep, fell into sleep.
The next day.
Su Feng waking up consciously found that it was already morning.
Is okay because there was a match yesterday and the team did not arrange training this morning.
Had "Breakfast", after finishing his hairstyle, Su Feng jumped to the training hall.
"Su, have you watched TV? You and Allen took three of the five best balls."
Su Feng just entered the training hall, and assistant teacher Jason greeted him.
"Look."
Su Feng's dunk lore successfully reached the top of the five best balls. His other goal on the list was the catch of Robinson after catching the cap with Robinson.
Iverson also has a ball on the list, it is that fast break one-handed dunk.
Unfortunately, the English version of the five best explains that passion is passion, but there is no taste.
It is worth mentioning that, before the training began, Davis deliberately praised Su Feng and Iverson.
Of course, Davis also highlighted the game against the Chicago Bulls tomorrow.
"Su, tomorrow I want to arrange for you to play against Michael, do you have any thoughts on this?" Davis said looking at Su Feng.
Thoughts?
Su Feng's only thought at this time is that Davis, it's just my Xiao He!
Su Feng is now worried about the defensive ability value encountering a bottleneck and needs to be beaten to mention ... ah, beat Michael Jordan, that Su Feng has always been longing for!
After all, the two generations were human, how could Su Feng not want to fight Jordan?
When Su Feng just learned basketball in his previous life, his favorite thing was to play with friends everywhere, wherever he had a high level of basketball.
So Su Feng didn't even think about it, and replied: "I don't have any questions, coach!"
Davis nodded in satisfaction, "Defending Michael Jordan is not just a matter of Su alone.
I hope everyone can learn like Su on the field and help each other because we are a whole! "
After winning the opener, the morale of the 76ers improved a lot.
But the mention of playing the bull ...
Well go to sleep.
At this time in 1996, there were too many people who were scared by Jordan.
Many rookies will even be specifically instructed by the coach before the game to stop angering the
old rogues
.
Therefore, in the view of Witherspoon and others, Su Feng and Iverson should be renamed as "want to die".
Oh, look, Starkhouse, who was publicly sentenced by the principal last year, is now more low-key, right?
Aside ...
After hearing the private discussion of "Ai Feng" by Witherspoon and others, Starkhouse ran to the other side to practice shooting.
Because of the grumpy of the seniors, he became grumpy ...
Beats myself up to several times a year.
But Su Feng ...
"The New Mountain and Sea Classics" has a cloud: There is an iron man named Su Mingfeng, who looks like a dragon, likes a bullfight, and immediately becomes an outreach party when he meets Iverson.
'S motto is: No matter how good the ball is, the stack is high, it is invincible, and it is hard to beat.
"Hey, Jerry, are you shooting?"
After the coach explained the tactics, the players entered free practice time.
Saw Stark House, who was practicing three points, Su Feng stepped forward and laughed.
Sure enough, can I still escape the fate of fighting with him?
Starkhouse looked up at the sky, and then sadly threw the basketball in his hand to Su Feng.
"bring it on!"
Su Feng withdrew a small question mark from Stark House.
Because he wanted to come over and chat with Stark House briefly ...
"Aren't you here to find my bullfight?" Starkhouse surprised.
Su Feng shook his head, "I just played such a tough game yesterday, how can I be so crazy?"
This way ...
Starkhouse breathed a sigh of relief and turned to cry with a smile: "I watched the five best balls, and your two dunks were cool."
"Hey, it's not really a great thing."
Su Feng scratched his hair and looked at Starkhouse expectantly.
Starkhouse nodded, "Well, you can have such a good attitude."
Su Feng: "?????"
Su Feng suspected that Stackhouse did not understand his own eyes, so he stepped up his efforts and hinted: "But it is indeed a joy to be able to play the top five."
Stark House spread his hands.
"I also played in the five best last year. To be honest, don't worry too much about this matter. The most important thing is to play well."
Although he knew that Starkhouse was telling the truth, Su Feng suddenly became serious after not hearing the answer he wanted twice in a row.
"Come to bullfight, Jerry!"
"......"
Stark House's mentality collapsed.
He wanted to refuse.
But is it possible?
On the field, after hearing that Su Feng and Starhouse were fighting, the teammates began to bet again.
"Perhaps, this is life?" Starkhouse thought silently.
……
Philadelphia, just when the 76ers were training, the Bulls players who flew to Philadelphia after the game last night also woke up one after another.
There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that after the players have finished the game, the team coach will never wake them up the next morning.
82 regular season games, not only test strength, but also perseverance.
Of course, such unspoken rules are also to take care of some "night owls".
After all, Harden just inherited the fine traditions of his predecessors.
In fact, one of the great pleasures of many NBA players is to experience the different nightclub cultures in various places and help local women who are out of step to improve their happiness index.
Like the "Rainman" Camp, who is more likely to play in this period, even after a few years, he does not even know how many illegitimate children he has.
There is a saying in the NBA that if you see Camp again on a certain basketball show, then he must be unable to pay his high child support.
After the team flew to Philadelphia, Phil Jackson did not reserve the stadium with the 76ers for pre-match training.
Because it is different from the outside world that the Bulls will copy and paste last year's success, Phil Jackson, who has endorsed KFC for many years, has been keenly aware of problems within the team.
After achieving unprecedented success last year, the decline in the momentum of this bull is an indisputable fact.
Like Rodman, in order to prove himself last year, he played outside the court, he will still be obedient during the game.
But this year is different.
In the summer, Rodman was busy making movies and busy doing TV reality shows. His mind had gradually drifted outside the basketball court.
Su Feng's previous life, in the 96/97 season, Pippen and Jordan even wanted to kick Rodman out.
The reason was that in a game with the Timberwolves in 1997, Rodman, who was then against Garnett, flew off the court to save the rebound.
The Rodman who was tripped to the camera by the camera was so desperate that he got up and kicked directly at the crotch of the photographer.
During the period when Rodman was absent due to the suspension, the Bulls' record was not bad, so many Bull players thought they could win without Rodman.
And what is different from the first three companies is that in the latter three companies, the lineup of the entire bull is "aging" very seriously.
On February 17, next year, Jordan will celebrate his 34th birthday.
Rodman is 35 years old, and the main force of Pippen, Harper, etc. has also been 30 + ...
In addition, in the summer, in order to retain the championship frame, the total salary of the Bulls team exceeded 58 million US dollars, setting a record high in NBA history.
Of course, a large part of this was paid to Jordan personally.
In the summer, Jordan ’s agent, Falke, had originally proposed a $ 50 million two-year offer to the Bulls boss Rainsdorf, but Rainsdorf was only willing to sign for one year, but in the end, Jordan was awarded $ 30 million. Sky-high annual salary.
One year later, "True Fragrant" Lanesdorf will pay Jordan another 33 million dollars in annual salary. (Note ①)
The total value of the two years is 63 million US dollars. The "God Operation" of Lanesdorf makes the Bulls pay more than the 50 million US dollars two-year price offered by Falke that year.
And behind Jordan's sky-high price renewal is Pippen's increasingly robust "jealousy".
In Pippen's opinion, Jordan paid a lot for the Bulls and got $ 30 million as he deserved.
But like Rodman, he also got 9 million dollars a year, but he ...
Well, this Pippen really can't blame others.
Because before Pippen and the Bulls signed the 7-year 20-million-dollar contract, everyone around him was persuading him that NBA wages will definitely rise in the future, don't sign this long.
However, at the time, Pippen firmly believed that those who persuaded themselves must be harming themselves.
So, he signed, and then two years later, looking at the salary of his teammates, he cried ...
96/97 season, Pippen's annual salary is only 2.25 million US dollars.
As the second-best player of the Bulls, his annual salary can only rank sixth in the team.
Pippen's "jealousy" will explode completely in the 97/98 season.
In order to request a high salary renewal and revenge management, Pippen went to two charity games with a foot injury before the start of the season, and then exchanged for nearly half a season of injury.
If you look at the higher dimension, the Bulls' last three straights, especially the last two crowns, each crown is at stake, and each crown is extremely difficult.
In fact, they are no longer invincible.
For this reason, Phil Jackson never stopped Jordan from training newcomers in the last three consecutive games. He even sometimes joked about some rookies in front of Michael Jordan.
Because Phil Jackson needs Jordan to have more motivation.
Just like Jordan said in the summer of 1997 to encourage the Bulls to renew the contract with Phil Jackson, "He only plays for Phil Jackson", Phil Jackson really only trusts Michael Bull in this Bulls team.
Now, two other rookies have successfully triggered Jordan's "serious buff".
After arriving in Philadelphia, Jordan did not go anywhere.
He shut himself in the hotel.
In addition to the 76 people's game video, Iverson's university video and Su Feng's high school video, he also watched the five best being played on TV.
After some careful thinking, Jordan found Pippen.
It is worth mentioning that in the last three consecutive years of the Bulls, in order to appease Pippen's emotions, Jordan is rarely full of EQ and often praises Pippen in public.
Frankly speaking, Jordan was never a god.
He is also a person who can put down everything to win the championship.
Otherwise, which "god" have you seen playing off the court more than Jordan?
Hiss ...
It seems that there really is a named Zeus who loves to play around ...
Cough, pull away.
And to say the right thing.
"Tomorrow, I want me to guard against the kid named" The. King "." Looking at Pippen, Jordan said.
Pippen nodded, and he likes to play with the hobby of the newcomer.
It ’s just strange that Pippen is strange. This year, it seems that the 76ers also produced a little boy named Starkhouse last year. As a result, this year it is the 76ers again?
"In addition, I hope that you guard the kid named" Answer "." Jordan said to Pippen.
"......"
For a long time, Pippen looked at Jordan seriously, "Aren't you kidding me?"
Jordan shrugged, "I want to gamble with you."
MD is back?
This is not the first time that Pippen was held by Jordan and he bet against him, and he bet on this matter, he was once pitted by Jordan!
As we all know, the bull will play a video of the bull running on the big screen at home, so Jordan, who likes to bet on it, found Pippen and bet on which color of the bull will win.
Because the video was recorded in advance, after quietly asking the management to know which bull will pass the finish line, Jordan just pitted Pippen all season ...
"Relax, this game is absolutely fair, open and just." Jordan patted his conscience and swore with his conscience.
Pippen rolled his eyes. In Pippen's eyes, Jordan's conscience had been sent away with his banknotes as a charity when he was gambling in Las Vegas.
But he can assist Jordan for many years, Pippen is not stupid, but he looked at Jordan curiously, "This time, what do you want to bet?"
"Tomorrow's game, see who of us can guard those two little guys even worse, betting $ 5,000." Jordan sneered.
"Of course, I can't let you lose, so that the one called" Answer ", every time you don't shoot in front of you, how about I raise you 500 dollars?" Jordan added.
Pippen thought for a while, although the difficulty of preventing Allen Iverson is more difficult, but this raise ...
Ok......
Ok!
Anyway, where did Jordan do charity?
In Pippen's view, instead of taking Jordan's banknotes away from those evil capitalists, it is better to use those banknotes to help yourself as a "poor man".
So, Pippen agreed readily.
"That's it, I'll talk to Phil to discuss."
Saw Pippen agree to himself, Jordan was very happy at this moment, he felt his "serious mode" has been switched to the second gear.
Do n’t ask, it ’s about the abuse of the newcomers.
……
On the 3rd, Su Feng woke up in a nightmare.
He dreamed that in the game with the Lakers, just when he wanted Kobe Bryant, O'Neill's body suddenly became numerous times, and then he slapped himself to the ground.
"Hi, it turned out to be a dream."
On the playing time of Kobe's rookie season, Su Feng even suspected that he could not play Kobe at all this season.
Hey, my opponent is already Michael Jordan, Kobe.
Originally, Su Feng refused to be taken to Tulong just after leaving Xinshou Village.
But whenever he thought of Kobe's expression of envy and jealousy, Su Feng felt that his mood was so cheerful.
No way, the fun of men is sometimes so boring.
"By the way, according to the time, he should have been drinking the sports drink he had sent to Kobe before. Wait a few days before sending him a batch." Su Feng, who was awakened by the nightmare, opened the refrigerator silently thought Road.
Because today is the game day with the Bulls, the whole Philadelphia is as busy as the holiday.
NBC will broadcast the game of the Bulls visiting Philadelphia, so this is also the first live show of the "Golden Double Guns" in the United States.
In addition, NBC TV decided to broadcast an exclusive interview with Su Feng during the intermission.
Has to say that these media in the United States really know how to catch hot spots in order to attract the attention of the audience.
After staged a dunk lore on the first show, Su Feng's name is not well-known, but his popularity has been fired.
Many North American Chinese fans regard Su Feng as their idol. After all, watching a group of blacks and whites fighting each other, who can have a sense of substitution?
Nike and Adi could not sit still, and the two giants saw potential from Su Feng.
But Adi and Nike couldn't sit still, Bill Duffico had something to say.
Duffy provided Su Feng with two options. One was to immediately start negotiating shoes with the two giants and then make a decision based on the quotation.
And the other is, wait again.
After discussing with Su Feng and Duffy, he chose to wait.
The reason is very simple. Nike and Adi are not fools. Su Feng ’s endorsement contract for shoes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ will have to start at least five years.
And such a long contract, we must be cautious.
Su Feng is willing to wait another six months because he knows that, given the opportunities he currently has in the 76ers, his data will be more beautiful after six months, and the contract signed at that time will be larger.
Once the negotiation begins, there is not much room for bargaining.
Su Feng usually does not go to any "golden club", his happiness is playing basketball, nothing more.
After signing a contract with McDonald's, Su Feng is not short of money for the time being. Even if he wants to make an investment, he is not in a hurry.
Therefore, the most important thing right now, in Su Feng's opinion, is to play every game well.
The more beautiful his score, the more chips he can negotiate with Duffy.
Only in this way, those two giants will treat you like sweets.
Simply put, either do n’t talk about it, or talk about it.
"Bull ..."
After checking his arsenal again, on the way to the arena, Su Feng can already feel the extraordinary place of this upcoming regular season ...
The biggest boss in the 90s.
Chicago Bulls.
Do it!
……
PS: Note ① Before the labor negotiations in the 98/99 season, the NBA did not have a maximum salary. Therefore, Jordan can use bird rights to sign the contract with the Bulls. In theory, it depends on whether the boss is willing to spend money. Ewing's 18 million in the 95/96 season and 20 million in the 97/98 season are also examples.
