NBA backer king

Chapter 166

The first one to be flopped was the New York Times reporter: "Michael, are you confident that you can beat the Suns in the series?"

An extremely paranoid, perverted confidence appeared on Michael Jordan's face, and his voice sounded throughout the hall:

"No one can stop us from winning the Finals, not the Bad Boys, not the Lakers, not the Celtics, not even the Suns.

Barkley never beat me, in any way, he was a total loser to me, and so was his team. "

Questions came one after another, and the main object of questioning was only Jordan, and Pippen and others next to him were basically completely ignored by the media.

Zhang Lili raised his hand every time, but the host never turned over his cards. Until the end of the press conference, several people left the hotel disappointed.

"The bastard, Charles, we're going to kill him."

In the locker room of the training hall, Wang Tiejun looked at Jordan on the TV screen and said.

Barkley sighed and didn't speak.

Jordan was right, he was a loser in front of Jordan.

"Brother, he's nothing special, you can't lose without a fight."

Lao Wang stared at Barkley and yelled: "As far as his performance in the Eastern Conference finals is worse than yours, he has no right to say that about you."

"Charles, old K is right. Jordan's recent performance is mediocre. Don't worry about it. Keep your spirits up. Our finals are about to begin." Kevin Johnson said.

Lao Wang stood up at this time, walked to the front of the crowd, stared at them and said loudly: "Some of you want a championship, some want to get a big contract, I also want a championship, it will make me more money, we all want it, so we can't lose.

Get rid of the Bulls, get rid of Jordan, we are the championship, we can get honors, get a big contract, get more money, brothers, shall we fight for the finals? "

"spell!"

All the Suns players stood up and roared.

Ever since, the morale of the Suns climbed to the top under the encouragement of Comrade Wang.

Colangelo is in a good mood. Looking at all this, he feels that the team's next core is stable, and old K's leadership ability has begun to show.

That is, he feels that this kid is always about money, and the next contract cannot be reduced, otherwise he may

If old K cannot be kept, CAA will not agree.

But as long as you win the championship, all of this will be fine.

As long as they win the championship, the team's market value will increase greatly, the Suns' ball market will increase greatly, the number of live broadcasts in the United States will increase greatly, and the revenue from regional broadcasting will also increase greatly, and the team will enter a new period of development.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Suns held a press conference before the finals at the headquarters, and the media present also almost crowded the hall.

"Charles, do you have anything to say about Jordan's remarks?" The first person to be flopped was a reporter from a local sports newspaper.

"Get rid of the Bulls! Get rid of Jordan! Let their dream of three consecutive championships be completely shattered." Old Wang roared loudly from the side.

"Yes, kill the Bulls, kill Jordan, we are the championship!" Barkley's courage was inspired, and he shouted.

"Papa..." The local reporters applauded quickly.

Zhang Lili raised his hand four times in a row, and was finally flopped in the fifth position. Excited, he quickly asked the prepared question: "Mr. Westphal, if the Bulls implement a slashing tactic against Old K, how will the Suns deal with it?"

Westphal was not surprised. The coaching staff has been analyzing the Bulls' tactics for the past few days. It is very possible to execute the slashing tactics when the inside is completely at a disadvantage.

In this Eastern Conference Finals G6 game, the Bulls actually won the game with better free throws, otherwise they might not be the winner.

"We have some arrangements, but we can't say it here, it's our tactical secret," he said.

Zhang Lili didn't ask any more questions. He just wanted to remind the coaching staff of the Suns to protect Wang Tiejun.

On the 9th, in Forty-Nine City, Da Ya and Er Ya had brought their parents over from their hometown overnight, and the family stayed in the International Hotel to watch the finals.

Some hotel staff knew that their family of four would spend precious dollars just to watch a few American basketball games, so they were really speechless.

This day is also the day of the G92 game of the NBA Finals in the 93/1 season.

Since noon, the outside of the American West Arena was crowded with fans from Arizona, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

At one o'clock at noon, the Bulls' bus arrived at the arena, but it was blocked outside for nearly an hour and a half before they were able to enter the arena.

Fortunately, the Bulls are indeed very experienced, an hour in advance, and they arranged for two o'clock, so the pre-match training was not delayed.

At six o'clock, the Suns' bus arrived, and it took a quarter of an hour to enter the arena.

Dozens of people from the Suns came up from the underground parking lot and rushed forward along the corridor.

There are also some reporters accompanying the team, including Zhang Lili and the others.

"Brothers, how about we visit the Bulls?" Wang Tiejun shouted suddenly.

"Old K, don't worry about it." Colangelo shouted hastily.

"Sir, that bastard Jordan is too crazy. We need to suppress his momentum. This is our home court, so we need to give them a blow." Old Wang insisted.

Colangelo was right when he thought about it. The Bulls are too powerful, and the Suns can hardly be said to win at home. This is indeed necessary, but he also warned: "Let's talk first, we can't fight."

"I promise." Old Wang nodded quickly.

As a result, a large group of people flocked to the visiting team's locker room.

Sun Zhenping quickly signaled the camera team behind to follow, and asked: "Director Zhang, what does Tie Jun want to do in the visiting team's locker room at this time?"

Zhang Lili smiled wryly and said: "As far as he said it literally, go and give the bull a blow and destroy the opponent's momentum."

Sun Zhenping was a little confused. Based on his perception, could a Chinese be so domineering in the United States?

It was almost 06:30, and the Bulls had just had dinner and were digesting food in the locker room.

Phil Jackson is talking, he is adjusting the psychology of the players, which is what he is best at.

Outside the locker room are the Bulls' management and coaching staff, as well as several staff members, as well as several team security personnel.

At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps coming from far to near immediately made the nerves of the people outside tense up.

"A lot of people, could it be the security of the arena?"

"Could it be the fans? Why are the fans brought in at this time? Is this the Suns trying to interfere with our preparations?"

The players, including those in the locker room, also heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and started talking.

"Jerry, what are you doing here?"

The Suns arrived outside the gate, and Bulls general manager Jerry Krause asked in surprise when he saw Colangelo at the front.

A security guard from the Bulls immediately stood in front of the locker room door, with his legs spread apart, and sealed the door with his huge body to prevent the Suns from rushing into the locker room. Another security guard also stood aside.

Seeing the reaction of the two Bulls security personnel, Jerry Colangelo said with some embarrassment: "Jerry, we come to express our condolences to you."

Klaus was stunned, and slandered: "They are all foxes of a thousand years, who are you fooling, I am afraid they are not here to show us off?"

He laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you so much, we will go to visit you when we return to Chicago."

After shaking hands, Colangelo said with a smile, "You're welcome. When we arrive in Chicago, I guess we should offer our condolences to you."

Klaus was too lazy to be hypocritical, and tore off his mask and said, "Jerry, I'm afraid you will be the ones who need comfort."

"That's impossible……"

Colangelo was talking, but unexpectedly Lao Wang became impatient, stepped forward two steps to the door of the locker room, kicked through the security guard in front of the door, and kicked right between the security guard's legs between.

The security guard was taken aback, thinking that he was about to be attacked by the eunuch, so he really jumped up in fright.

"boom!"

The closed door was kicked open with a loud bang.

"Who?"

Jordan's furious growl sounded from inside.

"Haha, bastard, megalomaniac, old hooligan, our Suns team has come to express condolences to you, why don't you come out to pick up the guests?" Comrade Wang shouted loudly.

"Old K?"

Jordan was so angry that his nose was crooked, thinking that his majestic league sign, the guarantee of ratings, was hit by a damn rookie?Wuming was so angry that he stood up immediately.

"Director Zhang, what is Tie Jun doing?"

Sun Zhenping, who was squeezed in the back, was too short to stand on tiptoes and couldn't see anything. He was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, so he could only ask Zhang Lili, who was much taller than him.

Like him, all the media reporters were bet behind a group of tall players and trainers, and they couldn't see the front at all, making them jump their feet in a hurry.

"Trouble, Tie Jun kicked the door of the locker room." Zhang Lili, who was also on tiptoe, shouted.

"Old K, what do you want to do?"

Jordan rushed to the door, pushed away the security guards in front, and shouted angrily at Old Wang.

"Condolences to you, you see how polite we are, why don't you applaud us?"

Old Wang grinned and said: "I can talk here. To be a man, you must know the way of hospitality. If you don't applaud today, we will continue to extend condolences."

The blood of the Bulls players was about to be out of anger, and Jordan was about to be mad with anger.

"Okay, old K, the condolences are over, let's go back to the locker room, it's time to prepare for the game." Colangelo pulled Wang Tiejun back with his own hands.

"Damn rookies, when you arrive in Chicago, wait for our condolences." Jordan gritted his teeth.

Lao Wang was being pulled back by Colangelo, while pointing at Jordan with one hand, he said, "You can try."

"boom!"

Jordan slammed the door shut, and he would have died if he didn't.

"This bastard! Damn violent! He deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life." Jordan growled.

The other Bulls players looked at each other in blank dismay. They couldn't believe that the old hooligan they didn't dare to provoke was humiliated by a rookie like this.

"Okay, Michael, don't pay attention to him, he just wants to influence our preparations in this way, if you are really angry, then you will be fooled by him."

Phil Jackson saw it very accurately and immediately persuaded him.

Jordan nodded sullenly and said, "I understand, I won't be as knowledgeable as this bastard."

Phil Jackson nodded appreciatively and said, "The Japanese take tolerance as their way. I give you the word 'nin'."

"Tolerate?"

Jordan felt a strong sense of aggrieved, and said coldly: "He will regret it, and he can't bear the consequences of angering me."

"Michael, hit 50+ tonight, we will defeat them together." Pippen said angrily.

There was a stern light in Jordan's eyes, and he said harshly: "Barkley wants to step on me to win the championship, and dream of him. This championship, I am bound to win."

At this time, the Zen master took out a stack of cushions, distributed them, and said, "Okay, now let's adjust our minds.

Everyone sit down cross-legged with me, take three deep breaths first, clear our brains, let us experience the beauty of Zen, and start meditation..."

"It's here again, it's here again!"

Jordan stared at Zen Master with his eyes closed. He was satisfied with everything about Phil Jackson, but he was not satisfied with this.

A group of Suns over there happily returned to the locker room, only Barkley looked a little depressed.

"Brother, what's the matter with you, won't you suffer from depression?" Old Wang asked with concern.

"I'm worried about completely angering Michael. The more that guy angers him, the crazier his behavior will be." Barkley said worriedly.

"Charles, no wonder you can't beat him!"

Pointing to Barkley with disappointment, Lao Wang suddenly realized: "With your mentality, how can you fight him?
From the bottom of your heart, you think that he is not to be provoked, and you are born to look down on him. How do you snatch the championship from him? "

"I?"

Barkley sighed secretly, I have been suppressed by him since my debut, crushed to death, old K, you won't understand my psychology, you can't blame me for that.

Lao Wang said disdainfully: "Jordan is very good. We played two games this season, with 50 points in the first game and 49 points in the second game. But so what, didn't we win the second game?
Look at this Eastern Conference Finals. They lost two games in a row on the road, and they are just that strong. If Ewing and Oakley were not strong enough, the Bulls could not grab rebounds at critical moments. Would the Bulls have hope to reach the finals? "

Having said that, he stood up, walked to the middle, stared at all his teammates, with extreme confidence on his face, and said loudly:

"It's so difficult for the Bulls to beat the Knicks, but what is our record against the Knicks? We won both games!

I took the Knicks to the rim at Madison Square Garden, we didn't care about the Knicks, we totally humiliated them, that's something the Bulls couldn't, couldn't do.

Similarly, we should have the absolute confidence to beat the bulls, we can beat them, we must beat them!

Beat them and we are the champions! "

"Old K is right, our strength is stronger than the Bulls, get ready to fight, guys!" Kevin Johnson, one of the leaders in the locker room, jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Get ready to fight." Tom Chambers, one of the locker room leaders, also stood up.

The two stretched out their right hands and put them together. When Wang Tiejun saw it, he also put them on.

"Get ready to fight!"

Barkley is the one who desires the championship the most. At this time, he stepped forward excitedly and put his hand on it.

At this moment, his reverence for Jordan was finally wiped away.

"Ready to fight!"

Everyone rushed forward and put their hands together.

Before the start of the G1 game, the morale and fighting spirit of the Suns climbed to the strongest level.

"Clap clap clap..."

Colangelo applauded excitedly, followed by the coaching staff and other staff.

At this time, the American West arena was already full of people. They all received a finals gift package prepared by the Suns, which included finals jerseys and finals souvenirs. Some of them were lucky enough to get autographs from the players.

In the American West Stadium tonight, there were some stars who rarely appeared before, including Hollywood, big singers, and various sports superstars.

Diva-level singer Mariah Carey, diva Whitney Houston, Jay-z, boxer Ali, Tiger Woods, actor Nicholson and so on.

These stars are all Jordan's friends, and they all support Jordan and the Bulls. They really want to see Jordan build a dynasty with their own eyes. They all wear No. 23 jerseys. The finals jerseys presented by the Suns are discarded by them.

In addition to these stars, some active and retired NBA stars have also arrived.

The copyright of this year's NBA Finals broadcast belongs to ABC Television Company, and ABC selected the pair of Bill Walton and John Hanks to explain the finals.

At this time, the live broadcast has not yet started, and the two are preparing.

"Bill, John..."

At this time, the director reported a news, which was sent by an ABC reporter.

Hearing that Old K led the Suns to make a fuss in the visiting team's locker room for so-called condolences, Bill Walton and John Hanks looked at each other.

"This is quite interesting. It should be the first time Jordan has enjoyed this kind of treatment?" John Hanks couldn't help laughing.

Bill Wharton shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I don't think it's a big deal. Old K slapped Jordan in the face in front of all Americans. What's the point of making a fuss in the locker room?"

"This is a pair of enemies. Jordan said that he would crush Old K for the rest of his life. This finals is the best opportunity. It depends on whether he can do it." John Hanks laughed.

"Jordan and old K are players of different generations. There is a difference of eight seasons. Jordan wants to suppress old K for a lifetime. I think it is impossible. In a few years, his state will decline, and old K will really grow up. He can't be suppressed. This is like the bulls. When the bad boys are at their peak, they can't make it through. Once the bad boys are old, the era of the bulls will immediately usher in the era of the bulls." Bill Wharton said.

John Hanks shook his head and said: "The Bulls' lineup is seriously aging, especially the inside line. My opinion on this finals is actually [-]-[-]. The Suns are very strong. The Bulls definitely don't have the strength to win.

So don't wait a few years, from now on, it will be difficult for Jordan to suppress the old K, unless the Bulls can build a whole younger lineup. "

Bill Walton nodded and said: "If the Bulls are really overthrown by the Suns this time, and old K breaks Jordan's dream of three consecutive championships, it will be pretty.

I bet, once the Bulls lose the championship, they will rebuild. "

At this time, CCTV is also preparing on the spot.

Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping chatted about what just happened while making preparations.

"Director Zhang, Tie Jun should be fine, right?" Sun Zhenping said worriedly.

"What can he do? I've already slapped Jordan in the face. This kid just has a bad temper." Zhang Lili said.

"Ah?" Hearing this sentence, Sun Zhenping was shocked.

In order to prepare for commenting on NBA games, he had learned some knowledge about the NBA. Knowing Jordan's status in this league and the American sports world, he never thought that Wang Tiejun would actually slap Jordan in the face, and he is still alive and well in this league. It's simply unbelievable!
