Chapter 173 The Meaning of Advice

First day of preseason training camp.The Bulls are all concentrated.

Most of the old men from last season stayed on the team.Only the traded Pippen, Bison Dele, the retired Chiefs and the waived Matt Stejner left.

"Luke, you look fatter than a few months ago." Bai Jidong smiled and stroked Langley's stomach.

Langley said shyly, "Mom's craftsmanship is good."

"But you can't be so indulgent, can you still run?" Bai Jidong speculated maliciously: "You may become the first starting player to be laid off."

"No, Phil won't lay me off."

Rodman chimed in: "Phil does like you, but that fat guy sitting in the back and manipulating everything is not sure."

"That's right, the power of life and death is in Jerry's hands." Bai Jidong advised Langley: "You better be careful." "Give me a month, and I can lose weight." Have confidence.

The rookie McGrady, who was meeting other teammates for the first time, kept asking for hello and introducing himself, "Hi, Dennis, I just joined the Bulls. You can call me Tracy."

"Tracey? Are you the rookie who replaced Scott alone?" Rodman asked jokingly.

Although McGrady did not play a game in the NBA, his reputation has spread throughout the league.Just because the Bulls traded Pippen for McGrady and a first-round pick for next year.

Therefore, the people in the world said: "McGrady will be replaced by Pippen."

Such remarks made McGrady very embarrassed, and many people joked about it.

"Scott is a great player. I don't think I have the value of changing him one-on-one. This is the management's choice." McGrady explained.

Afraid of his embarrassment, Bai Jidong smoothed things over, "Mai is very good, Dennis, you'll know if you play with him more often."

"You know him?" Rodman didn't believe it.

Bai Jidong said: "I have seen his training, he is indeed very talented, and his skills are also very good."

"Well, I'll give you a piece of advice." Rodman looked serious, "Be careful with Michael."

Bai Jidong once said this to him, and now Rodman also said the same. Is Jordan, who is regarded as a flying man, really so scary?

McGrady doesn't know, he hasn't spoken to Jordan yet.

He saw Jordan, plucked up his courage, and walked to his idol. He wanted to introduce himself to him, "Hi, Michael, my name is Tracy McGrady."

"Hmm." Jordan didn't show any obvious likes or dislikes, but just nodded slightly as a response.

"There are many people who admire the champion, and now the champion is standing beside you, and some of you will become one of them in a month." Zen Master's eyes swept over the faces of every team member, "Now you must prove your You are qualified to stand beside the champion, show your abilities and talents unreservedly!"

According to the usual practice, the training camp will test the status of the players in a five-on-five match.

Among them, Hubble, Jordan, Bai Jidong, Wennington, and Langley were divided into the white team.McGrady, Cole, Kukoc, Rodman, and Simpkins are the black team.

Black and white teams, only McGrady is a rookie.

On the sidelines, members of the coaching staff including Jackson, Paxson, and Manoski all looked this way.

McGrady knew that this was his exhibition game, and he had to show all his abilities.

Only in this way can he win the favor of the coaching staff and win a place in the team.

"Mai, I'll guard against you." Bai Jidong walked over with a smile.

As a result, before reaching McGrady, Jordan directly pulled him away, "I'll guard the rookie, you guard Tony."

"Why do you like bullying rookies so much?" Bai Jidong knew it would happen.

Jordan said naturally: "Since Breadcrumbs is willing to replace Scott with him, then he must have something special."

Jordan said coldly: "You were also a high school student two years ago, do you think he is inferior to you?"

"I never thought about it that way." Bai Jidong didn't care, "You can do whatever you want."

Hearing this, the corner of Jordan's mouth curled up, didn't I just do whatever I wanted.

McGrady felt a tightness in his chest, looked up and saw Jordan walking towards him.

It was Michael who defended me!McGrady took that as an endorsement.What an acknowledgment for Jordan to defend a high school student himself!Maddie was satisfied.Gather your energy and get ready to start the race.

As everyone knows, the gate of hell has been opened to him.

"Strike!" Langley had a height advantage over Simpkins, waved lightly, and the ball landed in Bai Jidong's hands.

Bai Jidong who received the ball was overjoyed: "Luke, I didn't expect you to be able to dance, I'm so relieved."

"Don't underestimate me, even though I'm ten catties heavier, I can still do a little jump." Langley said proudly.

Just as Bai Jidong was about to argue, Qiao Dan yelled, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"It's only been a few days since we saw each other, how come your temper has become so bad?" Bai Jidong looked at Kukoc and said, "Tony, you and I know the purpose of this match."

"Yes, but I will take it seriously," Kukoc said flatly.

Bai Jidong shook his head: "No! Don't take it seriously, I want to sign a non-injury treaty with you." "A non-injury treaty?" Kukoc asked.

"Don't attack each other, just run casually to warm up, and pass the ball to those who want to show themselves." After finishing speaking, Bai Jidong passed the ball to Jordan, "Look, I don't attack, so you can't attack either. "

"How could this be? I didn't promise you," Kukoc said.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "I'll take it as your consent."

Behind him is Maddy, a high school student who has just left school, and he has no idea how cruel the adult world can be.

Regardless of his identity, Jordan directly hit back.

It was impossible for McGrady to block such an impact, and he backed up again and again, being ripped apart by Jordan, unable to fight back.

"High school student, haven't you eaten yet? You want to play in the NBA with this strength? Do you think this is a fucking high school game?" Jordan said coldly.

McGrady was taken aback, he didn't expect Jordan to say such ugly words.

Sure enough, Bai Jidong knew that Jordan would do this, but he didn't expect him to do it right away.

This situation made Bai Weidong think of himself two years ago, when Jordan humiliated him, and now McGrady will also meet the same fate.

Jordan will never take pity on you because you are a high school student.The identity of a high school student will instead become his weapon.

Whenever McGrady had a problem, Jordan would use "high school student" as his catchphrase to sneer.

McGrady gradually understood what Bai Jidong and Rodman's advice meant.

Be careful Michael. This is not something that can be resolved by being careful.

Obviously, Jordan is coming for him, and no matter what he does, it will be aimed at him.

All McGrady can do is face it, and avoiding it will only attract more rude attacks from Jordan.

"Very good! Let me see if your hair is fully grown!" Seeing McGrady holding the ball and trying to play alone, Jordan sneered.

McGrady's face darkened, his respect for Jordan was disappearing, just like Bai Jidong back then.

Jordan's cold, ruthless, and unbearable trash talk is shattering his sacred position in McGrady's heart little by little.

Within a few minutes, Jordan was no different from a demon in Tracy McGrady's mind.

McGrady's courage is commendable, but his ball-handling skills are like child's play against Jordan.

Jordan saw through his offensive intentions at a glance, and snatched McGrady's handball face to face like a thief.

When McGrady reacted, Jordan had already swung his horse and whipped to the basket.

"Bang!" Jordan gliding for a dunk.

When he came back to his senses, he brushed past McGrady, "High school student, what qualifications do you have to change Pippen?"

"It's not something I can decide." Tracy McGrady thought that what he suffered was because the Bulls traded Pippen for him.

Bai Jidong really wanted to tell him that this man named Michael Jordan had this bastard attitude towards every newcomer.

Jordan pointed to the door, "The door is there, if you feel uncomfortable, you can leave smoothly."

"Scott's departure was not my fault!" McGrady completely misunderstood.

Jordan just sneered and said nothing else.

Bai Jidong looked at McGrady, waited for Jordan to come over, and said: "You have done too much." "If he only has this level, it means that the bread crumbs are wrong." Jordan said.

"You can tell him that this is a test for newcomers, if you can't stand it, get out, why do you want him to misunderstand you?" Bai Jidong was puzzled.

Jordan acted like a badass, "That wouldn't make any sense."

"You crazy!" Bai Jidong hated it, what happened to Mai Di reminded him of his past self.

Jordan didn't intimidate McGrady.His coercion aroused McGrady's sense of resistance, just like Bai Jidong back then, "Go to hell! Michael!"

"It's a good look, but what can you do?" Jordan pinned Medic so hard he couldn't move.

"Tracy! Come here!" Rodman couldn't see it, and helped McGrady block Jordan.

McGrady was able to get rid of Jordan's defense and ran outside to receive the ball.

Hubble switched defenses in front of McGrady and was about to put on a stance, but McGrady sharpened his sword and didn't pay attention to Hubble.

His talent was evident at this moment. After taking the unparalleled first step, Hubble could only watch McGrady disappear from his eyes.

McGrady could have completed the dunk, but Bai Weidong refused to let him do so.

McGrady is fast, and Bai Jidong's replacement is even faster.

"So fast!" McGrady didn't expect someone to guard against him, so he didn't make preparations.

Bai Jidong raised his palm and knocked Mai Di's ball over his head, "Mai, I deeply sympathize with what happened to you."

"I now understand the meaning of advice." Maddie turned around, "Thank you for your advice."

McGrady's back looks a little downcast.However, it is not too late to understand the meaning of the advice.

Bai Jidong looked at Mai Di and said, "Mike, there is another person who hates you in this world."
