Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 385 Against the Japanese team

Zhou Yu took a sip of his coffee, feeling a little uncomfortable. Jordan is the idol of fans all over the world. I don’t know how many children are on the basketball court because of Jordan. It’s a pity to retire so early.

"What did Jordan say when he retired?"

Zhou Yu asked with interest.

"At the press conference, he was in tears, saying that he originally planned to retire after achieving his second three consecutive championships, but because of the birth of a talented young man named Wang Zhizhi, this dream may be difficult to realize. It is better to retire as soon as possible. Make room for the young man, so that he can enjoy family happiness, anyway, he feels that he has already won enough honors, and he has no desires."

Susan described it vividly.

Zhou Yu thought for a while, and felt that another important reason for Jordan's early retirement was that he and the team's general manager Klaus had always been at odds. The Bulls' dynasty would disintegrate sooner or later, and the failure to defend the title this time was just a trigger Just ask.

Counting the honors Jordan has won, Zhou Yu couldn't help but get goosebumps. So far, Jordan has won four championships, four finals MVPs, four regular season MVPs, and eight scoring titles. These excellent honors are enough to rank among the top three in NBA history, and it is no exaggeration to even aspire to the No.1 throne in NBA history.

When the hero is late, if Jordan can break through the blockade of the Pistons "Bad Boys" as soon as possible, the honor he has won now will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help making up his mind that he must cherish time and work harder to achieve a greater honor than Jordan.

"Dazhi, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Susan whispered while stirring the coffee with a stirrer.

"Let's talk, there is nothing we can't say between us."

Zhou Yu said with a chuckle.

"I heard that the management of the Lakers team can only increase your annual salary to $600 million because of lack of funds. This is seriously inconsistent with your strength. I also heard that many other NBA teams are very impressed by you. Interested, willing to offer an annual salary of tens of millions, I don’t know if you want to find another job, if you want, I can help you contact them.”

Susan said seriously.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this. The temptation of the annual salary of tens of millions is too great, almost twice the annual salary of the Lakers. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted, but he just thought about it again. After all, the Lakers are the cradle of his success. If you change the team rashly, I am afraid that it will be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally, not to mention when it is a head to change teams frequently, it may be similar to "The Wanderings of Sanmao".

"Susan, thank you for your kindness. I have no plans to change the team yet. I have just adapted to the environment of the Lakers. If I change teams and have to adapt again, it will be very troublesome."

Zhou Yu smiled and politely refused.

"Big Zhi, you are really a 'dead eye'. The NBA is a business alliance. Your so-called loyalty may affect your better development in the future."

Susan snorted coldly, angrily saying nothing.

"Maybe, but I don't regret my choice today."

Zhou Yu said firmly.

"Big Zhi, no matter what choice you make, I will fully support you."

Susan's eyes suddenly softened, and her slender hands slowly covered Zhou Yu's big hands, saying affectionately.

Zhou Yu immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and said with a dry smile:

"Susan, I can understand your kindness, so I don't need to express it with body language."

Susan blushed slightly in embarrassment, then changed the subject, and chatted about some anecdotes. What I have to admit is that as a reporter, I have a wide range of knowledge. There are many things that Zhou Yu has never heard of. Today is finally an eye-opener.

Susan is very good at chatting, and she has to say some seemingly ordinary things vividly and wittily, which makes Zhou Yu laugh out loud.

Before they knew it, it was past ten o'clock at night, and the two had to separate and go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Susan did not forget to kindly tell Zhou Yu:
"Big Zhi, don't play so hard. After the Asian Championships, it is estimated that the new NBA season will start. You have to weigh whether your physical strength can bear it. If the new season is affected by injuries, then nothing can be done. We talked about it."

"Susan, don't worry, I know in my heart that I will protect my body."

Zhou Yu said with a grateful expression on his face.

"What's more, I have already sent Harris your hard work in the Asian Championships in the form of pictures and texts. I advise him to use you more leisurely in the new season. Don't tire you out. Don't count on it when the time comes." What kind of 'Zijin Dynasty' has been created."

Susan continued.

"Thank you, Susan, I will never forget your concern for me."

Zhou Yu said gratefully.

"It's so good to you, what's the use, you don't like to talk to me."

Susan snorted coldly, picked up her satchel, and left in a hurry without looking back.

Looking at her graceful back that was fading away, Zhou Yu looked helpless. It seems that it is a woman's nature to be "small-minded", and Susan, who has always been known for her open-mindedness, is no exception.

Not long after the semi-finals between the Chinese team and the South Korean team ended, the results of the match between the Japanese team and the Iranian team were freshly released. The Japanese team defeated the Iranian team "89:83" and joined the Chinese team in the final.

The Chinese, Japanese and Korean teams are basically the top Asian teams. Although the Japanese team’s record is not as dazzling as the Chinese and Korean teams, their strength should not be underestimated. It also set off a basketball boom, and more young people devoted themselves to basketball.

Although the results of the Japanese men's basketball team in the Asian competition are not enough to win the championship, it is common to enter the semi-finals or finals, which shows that their strength is not ordinary.

Before the game, Gong Luming and Wang Fei attached great importance to the final against the Japanese team and reminded the players not to relax emotionally. Compared with the Korean team's outside line, the Japanese team's inside and outside lines have a certain strength.

Although Zhou Yu has never played against the Japanese team before, he is familiar with the characters in "Slam Dunk". Orangutan slam dunk", Mitsui Hisashi's three-pointer, Miyagi Ryota's "Electric Flint" layup are all very special.

But comics belong to comics. The real Japanese men's basketball team does not have these distinctive characters. They play very holistically and their skills are relatively delicate.

On the day of the final, thousands of Chinese and Japanese fans gathered at the scene, and of course, Saudi fans who had nothing to do to watch the excitement were also included.

The chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation, the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Federation, the chairman of the Japanese Basketball Federation, and the chairman of the Saudi Basketball Federation came to the scene and sat in the VIP seats.

Regarding the last semi-final, the chairman of the Japanese Basketball Federation had a lot of opinions. He thought that the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation favored one over the other. He only watched the semi-final between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, but did not watch the semi-final between the Japanese team and the Iranian team.

In this regard, the explanation given by the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation is that the Chinese men's basketball team and the Korean men's basketball team rank higher in the world and should receive more attention.

Although the chairman of the Japan Basketball Federation said he was angry, he couldn't find a good reason to refute it. He just vowed that the Japanese team would beat the Chinese team in this game and represent the whole of Asia in the World Championships.

The chairman of the Chinese Basketball Federation just smiled slightly when he heard the words, and spit out six words in a concise manner-the facts speak louder than words.

The chairman of the Saudi Basketball Federation continued to chatter to the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation how successful the Asian Championship was held, how perfect the venues and facilities were built, and that Saudi Arabia has enough strength to host the World Series.

After hearing this, the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation just said that as long as the Saudi team can win the Asian Championships or the Asian Games, he will definitely recommend Saudi Arabia to host the World Championships to the FIBA.

Now, the VIP seats completely stopped, and they all turned their attention to the arena.
