Chapter 165

"Bye, if you want to develop on the big stage in the future, you can come to Los Angeles, and I will show you the way." At the dinner table, the magician casually mentioned it.

The knife and fork in Bai Jidong's hand trembled slightly, "Chicago is also a big city."

"Yeah, but when it comes to the stage, Los Angeles must be bigger." The magician said.

How could Jordan just sit back and watch the magician dig the wall in front of him, and said directly, "This kid won't go anywhere."

"If you don't like big cities, Indiana is also a good choice," Bird interjected. "Of course, you're not going to leave with Michael as your target, right?"

"I really have no such plan." Bai Jidong had no time to meddle in the spats of these three big bosses.

The magic bird gods gathered at the table and talked about it, talking about the ups and downs of the 80s, and those legends that were passed on by word of mouth were unveiled in the mouths of the parties involved.

"I have to say you've had great success with your basketball, but that doesn't make it wrong for me to play the game."

When it came to the way of the game, the magician talked endlessly. If Bai Jidong didn't interrupt him, he could talk for an hour.

Jordan sat comfortably, he didn't care what the magician said, because he was the one who got the most honors on this table, and he got what he said.

Bird listened more, and suddenly said: "Basketball is not one-on-one, nor is it five-on-five, because every game will have different situations."

"So you're just pretending to be that aggressive?" The person at the table, Bai Jidong, wanted to interview Bird the most, because he had left too many pretentious deeds, and was regarded as the number one aggressive king in NBA history by later generations.

"It's all small things, not worth mentioning." Bird didn't care much about it. "I don't want people to just remember how I humiliated my opponent. I want people to remember my honor."

"Of course, your honor has been recorded in history along with these stories of humiliating the enemy." Bai Jidong asked: "Also, you really said the phrase "I will kill you here", and then Make the game-winning shot at the designated position?"

"That lore was not perfect, because I left them 3 seconds, so there is nothing to say." This is how Bird looks at this moment of forcing the king that is talked about.

Bai Jidong wanted to ask about Bird's embarrassment to Jordan, but because Jordan was present, he didn't ask.

When it comes to history, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

A magician is a living atmosphere adjustment machine, once the atmosphere is wrong, he will correct it immediately.Moreover, the status of these three people in the Jianghu is too high, Bai Jidong can only talk to them in the attitude of asking for advice.

"Michael, what are you going to do now that Scott is gone?" the magician asked.

In front of these two, Jordan did not hold back, and said frankly: "I will play for another year."

"Another year?" the magician said unexpectedly. "In Chicago?"

"Yes, in Chicago." Jordan said: "A lot of people say I can't win the championship without Scott, and I will prove them wrong."

Before parting, the magician talked to Bai Jidong alone, "Bye, do you have time?"

" magic
,Any thing else? "Bai Jidong asked.

The magician smiled and said, "Let's say a few more words."

"You won't ask me to go to Los Angeles, will you? Just like what Mike said, I won't leave Chicago." Bai Jidong said.

"No, that's not it." The magician's smile made it hard to be disgusted with him: "I commented on many of your games on ESPN, and to be honest, you surprised me because I saw something similar to me in you." The place."

" magic
, I don't think we are alike at all. "Bai Jidong said bluntly.

The magician smiled again, "Yes, you are much better than me."

"You know that's not what I meant." Bai Jidong said.

The magician leaned against the window and said, "You are a tall organizer like me, and you are also willing to sacrifice your shot rights for the victory. Your rebounding ability is very strong, and your shooting is sloppy."

"My shooting will get better." Bai Jidong strongly objected to the magician's statement.

"Yes, all your flaws will be improved, I believe you can do it." The magician tried to make Bai Jidong calm down and listen to him, "You have the same charm as me, which can seduce people."

"Deceptive?" Bai Jidong seriously objected to most of the magician's descriptions of him, "Obviously they were moved by my innocence and kindness."

The magician didn't want to talk nonsense with him, "You did what I did, and made the leader trust you."

"Trust me?" Bai Jidong was stunned, "How do you say?"

"It's not easy to deal with people like Michael Jordan, Scott Pippen, Dennis Rodman, let alone you have a heart-to-heart with them." "

"You said I resemble you, but I don't know, how are we similar?" Bai Jidong asked.

The magician said, "Before I answer your question, I want to ask you one thing. What do you think of Michael as a leader?"

"He can interpret the full meaning of the word leader." In front of others, Bai Jidong's exaggeration of Jordan's praise made Jordan feel shy when he heard it.

"Do you want to be a leader like him?" "As I said, he is my benchmark and my target."

The magician Bai Jidong asked and answered.

The magician said: "So, you want to be like Michael, a player that opponents and teammates fear?"

"I'm not afraid of him." Bai Jidong said.

"Just because you're not afraid doesn't mean others aren't afraid." The magician said, "That's why you can't be Michael."

"Then I will be myself." Bai Jidong said.

The magician praised: "That's right, to be yourself is to be a leader like me, you have finally realized." "I can't understand what you are talking about at all." Bai Jidong felt dizzy when he heard it.

"There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. There are more than a dozen successors to Jordan in the league, but there has never been a successor to a magician." The magician showed a bit of pride, "I am unique, and so are you."

"I don't understand, why do you value me so much?" Bai Jidong asked.

The magician closed the window and looked straight at Bai Jidong, his eyes were sincere and pure, "Because I saw myself in you."

"You can mingle with anyone. Your actions, your words, and the charm from your body make everyone willing to be teammates with you." The magician solemnly said: "This is more important than height, wingspan, and jumping speed." A rare talent."

"Mike takes pleasure in belittling me, but you say I can be like you, who should I believe?" Bai Jidong asked.

The magician pointed to himself: "The evaluation of others will not help you, you just need to believe in yourself."

"Even if you praise me so much, I won't go to Los Angeles." Bai Jidong wanted to get rid of this topic as soon as possible.

The magician looked at him with a smile: "Boy, don't interrupt, we will part soon, so let me say a few more words." "Okay, what do you want to say." Bai Jidong was helpless.

"Actually, I've finished what I want to say." The magician said, "I'm optimistic about your future, as long as you can break through Michael's shackles."

"Shackles? What shackles?" Bai Jidong held back and didn't ask, "By the way, in your playing career, is there anything you will never forget?"

"You see, as long as we want to talk, we still have a lot of common topics." The magician never stopped smiling.

The magician's answer caught Bai Jidong a little by surprise, "If you want to talk about unforgettable things, there are actually many. I have missed the past countless times. Guess what I am most proud of? It is not becoming the greatest point guard in history, nor is it any glory. , but my teammates trust me completely on the field.”

On this day, the magician told Bai Jidong to teach by example.

Although it didn't bring any substantial improvement to Bai Weidong, he set up another benchmark in Bai Weidong's heart.

If one day, Jordan's benchmark is too high to be climbed, Bai Jidong can try to climb another benchmark.

"Did you have a good chat with Magic?
' asked Jordan.

Bai Jidong said: "It must be much more pleasant than chatting with you."

"Hmph, let's go." Jordan and Bai Jidong rested overnight in Indiana, and flew back to Chicago the next day.

The next day, Jordan's agent announced: Jordan will negotiate a contract extension with the Bulls.

The matter immediately attracted the attention of the whole United States.

Jordan is not just a basketball star, he is a symbol of the United States, a benchmark in the sports world, and his every move attracts the attention of the world.

After negotiating for a few days, Jordan rejected New York's offer of 4000 million a year and renewed his contract with the Bulls for 400 million a year.

When the signing was completed, Jordan told the media: "If there is no accident, this will be my last season."

"Without Pippen, has this year's goal changed?" the reporter asked.

Jordan replied: "If I don't aim to win the championship, what am I going to do when I come back?"

"I am personally not optimistic about Michael's return. For Jordan, who is aiming to win the championship, the current Bulls are not competitive," said the well-known commentator Marv Albert.

"Michael's delay in renewing his contract for so long will never be hasty. After losing Scott, he still chooses to renew his contract. This is questionable in itself. Do the Bulls have new aid? No, after trading Pippen, the Bulls No other trade, they traded the No. [-] player for a high school rookie, that's all, but, I believe in MJ." This passage is from the "Chicago Tribune"

As for Bai Jidong?As soon as they returned to Chicago, they asked Timilia and others to prepare a three-month training plan.

However, there is one thing: training time is not allowed to be arranged at night.

"I have something to do tonight! Something to do! Something big to do!" Bai Jidong wrote in big characters.

"Evening is the best time to exercise, why don't you practice?" Timilia was puzzled by Bai Jidong's approach.

Bai Jidong didn't explain to him, but said repeatedly: "I have something to do at night, so I can't participate in the training. Please arrange your time in the daytime. The crueler the better, drill me hard."

"Then I won't be polite, I hope you can handle it." Timilia's words sent a chill down Bai Jidong's spine.
