Chapter 493 Becoming a Father
Minnesota is a small city, and winning a championship is a big event.

To this end, the mayor of Minnesota specially attended the team's celebration ceremony and delivered a 10-minute speech at the ceremony.

His speech was no different from that of Chinese leaders. He used an American-style official accent to let the Timberwolves continue their efforts and strive for better results.

Although the words are ordinary, Bai Jidong and the others still have to give applause, who calls him the mayor.

Then there was the championship parade, each player gave a speech one by one, and Kahn's speech was full of gunpowder, which gave people a completely different feeling.

Kahn was delighted with the team's championship, then had the audacity to give half of the credit to a new front office that didn't do their shit, and only mentioned Garnett politely at the end when referring to players.

If anyone who heard his speech didn't know the Timberwolves, they might think that Garnett is an insignificant player, otherwise, how could he be taken away at the end?
Garnett was much more polite. He didn't care about Kahn, praised everyone, and then pointedly mentioned "although there were unexpected troubles", and then said something that fans like to hear, Withdrew amidst cheers.

A few days later, Bai Jidong's son was born at Marilyn Hospital in Minnesota.

The child is very healthy and weighs eight catties at birth, so he is considered a giant baby.

This incident shocked Mingzhou, and Bai Jidong's teammates came to the hospital to congratulate Bai Jidong.

"Choose a name for your son."

After giving birth, Chu Meng's complexion was not very good.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "There's no rush, we'll talk about it when parents come."

"Then you have to choose a name." Chu Meng said.

"You know, I'm not good at picking names. I hope my dad can pick them. You see, my dad picked my name. How nice." Bai Jidong's appearance is not typical.

After a while,

"Honey, I have a question." Bai Jidong said.

"What?" Chu Meng didn't know why he was blushing.

Bai Jidong whispered: "I heard that breast milk can make the breasts turn black, is it true?"

"Fake!" Chu Meng blushed, "Where did you see these strange things?"

"Damn it from Olovokan!" Bai Jidong muttered, and then said, "I knew it was fake! You have a good rest, I'll get you some supplements."

As the season came to an end, the players went their separate ways.

Up to three months of summer vacation.Some people will use this period of special training to improve themselves; some will seize every opportunity to corrupt and do whatever they want; some people are ready to say goodbye to their beloved basketball, such as Doug Christie and Kevin Willis.

"I'm very happy to announce this, I'm retiring. No regrets, no disappointments, I'm thankful that I finished my last season with such a good team, this is the last chapter of my career and I will always miss it this time."

Christie held a press conference and said affectionately.

"People always tell me, you should retire, you should retire. There are no such old players in the NBA. I also thought, why don't I retire? Until I joined Minnesota, I found a reason not to retire. I think Watch more games of these young people, I want to get in touch with young people more, I don't want to accept the fact that I am old, people of my generation have retired, and I have no reason to stay, so, it's time."

Kevin Willis said so.

This feeling is unique, like seeing off a friend.

You know he's alive, but you can't be with him anymore.

Bai Jidong attended the press conference of Christie and Old Willis, and heard their retirement declaration with his own ears.

When he heard Christie joked: "The happiest thing about retiring is that you don't have to hear the white wolf's trash talk anymore."

The longer Bai Jidong played in the NBA, the less sad he felt when parting with his teammates. He was used to seeing off a few friends every year.

Since his rookie season, he has witnessed the retirement of many people, and the feeling has faded. He knows that he will have such a day sooner or later.

At the beginning of July, in order to take care of Chu Meng, Bai Jidong rejected his trip to Asia and brought Chu Meng and his son to Chicago, intending to live here for a while.

"Honey, is there enough milk? Do you need me to make milk powder?" Bai Jidong asked.

Chu Meng didn't know why Bai Jidong liked to hang milk in his mouth so much: "No need, and"

Chu Meng puffed out his surging chest, as if to say, does this old lady look like someone who needs to feed her children milk powder?

Seeing his son sucking milk, Bai Jidong asked: "Will Lingyun bite you?"

"No, he's good." Chu Meng said.

Yes, the child's name is Bai Lingyun.Although Bai Jidong has no confidence in his ability to choose a name, he finally decided to choose it himself.

Because he is the father of the child.He and Chu Meng each took a character, Bai Jidong took the character Ling, and Chu Meng took the character Yun.

Although living the life of a househusband, he is actually not that dull.

He has a lot of friends in Chicago, and he would go bowling with Pippen if he had nothing to do, or fly to Charlotte to play golf with Jordan, oh yes, Kukoc is also in Chicago.

He was also a quasi-professional golfer, calling Kukoc whenever Jordan needed someone.

But let's go back to last month -- the NBA draft.

Because the Timberwolves traded this year's draft picks, they can only watch from the sidelines and watch these supernovas go to other teams.

Bai Jidong recommended Rudy Gay to Jordan, so he wanted to see Jordan's final choice.

The day before the draft, the Bobcats actually traded guard Redmond Felton, selected last year, to the Celtics.

They traded Felton for the Celtics' seventh pick in the first round, and then selected Brandon Roy with the third pick in the first round.

Bai Jidong didn't know anything about this person. When he saw Shanmao's choice, his first reaction was to call Jordan and curse him for half an hour.

Considering that the Bobcats still have a seventh overall pick, he resisted the urge and waited patiently.

Adam Morrison, who fell to the fourth pick, was picked by the Blazers with the fourth pick without hesitation, the Bucks chose Sheldon Williams with the fifth pick, and the Eagles chose with the sixth pick Randy Foye, while the Bobcats selected Rudy Gay with the seventh overall pick.

When Bai Jidong saw that Gay was selected by the Bobcats, he was relieved, and his first reaction was to call Jordan: "How can you be sure that Rudy will fall to the seventh pick?"

"I'm not sure, I just like Brandon more." Jordan's answer made Bai Jidong very upset.

Bai Jidong said: "Where did this guy come from, what do you like about him?"

"This is a feeling, Bye, I like him, it must be him, I believe I'm right." Jordan's tone made Bai Jidong even angrier, "The rookie you liked last time was named Kwame Brown."

"I was inexperienced last time, don't count!" There is no worse quibble than that.

Bai Jidong was pissed off by him. He kindly helped Jordan find a rookie. This guy was a good guy. When he saw someone he liked, he didn't say hello. Don't ask me for help anymore, please use your own feelings to find talents in the future! Also, I will inform you in advance that when I play against you next season, I will score 50 points!"

"Don't be so angry, I heard that you recently became a father, congratulations."

Qiao Dan also felt sorry for Bai Jidong and wanted to change the subject.

Bai Jidong had a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense, you'd better tell your team members to be careful!" "Okay, don't get angry, do you want to play golf this afternoon? I'm in a good mood today." Jordan said cheerfully.

Bai Jidong rebuffed straight away: "No time! I have to take care of my family now, and I'm very busy, unlike you, a hands-off shopkeeper!"

"Hands off the showcase, your words deeply hurt my heart, don't you know how much I have paid for the team?"

Even a serious person like Jordan has learned to speak and bluff, what is going on in this world?
Bai Jidong didn't even say goodbye, he just turned off Jordan's phone.

After a few seconds, the phone rang again.

Bai Jidong picked up the phone and yelled: "The last thing I want to hear right now is your voice, shut up!"

"Dear Bye, who made you angry?" The voice on the phone was a bit playful.

Bai Jidong hastened to look at the telegrapher, and James Cameron was clearly written on it.

"Sorry, I got it wrong. How are you doing recently? How is your health? How is your appetite?" Bai Jidong hurriedly interrupted.

"These have nothing to do with what I want to tell you. Have you finished your game recently?" Cameron asked.

"Yes, the season just ended, and my wife gave birth to a son called..." Bai Jidong was about to talk nonsense, but Cameron interrupted him; "Do you have time to come and shoot? The location is on the west coast."

"Sorry, I may not be able to get away these days."

Although Bai Jidong respects Cameron, Chu Meng also needs to take care of him.

"Okay, call me when you are free, don't worry, I can wait after finishing your business." Cameron didn't say anything.

Bai Jidong said: "Okay, I will definitely report to the crew as soon as possible."

"It's not that serious. Adjust your state well. Although most of our recordings use 3D shooting, you still need to show a good state." Cameron said.

For Bai Jidong, there are only two things to do during the offseason: one is to participate in the filming of "Avatar", and the other is to report to the national team to participate in this year's Men's Basketball World Championships held in Yokohama, Japan.

Other things have to give way to these two things. Of course, the most important thing right now is to take care of Chu Meng.

The championship means the latest holiday. After the parade ceremony, the wolves of Minnesota will also be broken up.

Some people travel, some go home to rest, and very few want to stay in Minnesota for special training.

The players who stayed for special training included three rookies and veteran Hardaway.

Hardaway's contract expires this summer, and he has made it clear that he will continue to play, and the Timberwolves are his first choice.

Bai Jidong hoped that Hardaway would stay. In the past two years, the two have developed a good understanding, and their tempers and personalities are compatible.

As a veteran, Hardaway can also play a role as a mentor, and young guards like Ukic need his guidance very much.
