All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Hell is empty, and the King of Mills is in the world.

Looking at the bruises on his chest, which were bruised and purple, Kobe felt like the world could still get better.

think......

Thinking back then, he was the only one who had the upper hand on Su Feng!

But over the past year, Su Feng's elbows have become thicker and thicker. In one-on-one situations, the previous situation has been completely overturned.

"Hitting from behind like you...has no technical content at all!" Kobe protested to Su Feng.

Oh, Kobe, are you here today?

"Did I just commit a foul?" Su Feng asked confidently.

"That's not true," Kobe said, scratching his hairy afro.

"Is that a good shot?" Su Feng puffed up his chest and asked.

"..."

In the training hall, after losing to Su Feng in both martial and literary combat, Kobe held his jersey in his mouth, pinched his elbows, and stepped aside, doubting his life.

No...it's been almost three days since McGrady signed with the Raptors. Why hasn't he come to Philadelphia yet?

I don't know if Su Feng has taken stimulants recently. Since the big deal between the Nets and Celtics on the 26th, in Kobe's eyes, Su Feng seemed to have changed.

Although relying on his tenacious fighting spirit and understanding of him, Kobe can barely hold on to a 46-open situation, but when he thinks that he has always had a 10-10 open score against him one-on-one...

This made Kobe very uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, the nickname 'Philadelphia Malone' still suits me."

After Su Feng's weight approached 97 kilograms, the + sign behind Su Feng's strength value appeared again.

This time, Su Feng spent 37 million blacksmithing points in one breath to increase his strength potential to 71.

Previously, Su Feng's power potential was 62. According to the system settings, in the range of 60 to 69, adding a little potential to Su Feng would cost 3 million blacksmithing points. Starting from 70, the consumption of blacksmithing points would become 800. Worth a million bucks.

The advantage of using the blacksmithing value to directly increase the potential is that Su Feng's upgrade speed is invisibly accelerated a lot.

But what Su Feng was curious about was that his core power had appeared once before, and the system showed 86...

So, since he still can't see the details of his strength, according to the average algorithm of a reasonable system, what details are holding Su Feng back?

You know, after Su Feng gradually digested his potential, these days, even Mancias asserted that Su Feng's strength will definitely rank at the forefront of the NBA forwards and defenders next season.

In addition, not long ago, in order to find a comparison, Su Feng secretly checked the strength attribute of "Old Rogue", and then...

Su Feng is autistic.

Because it is obvious that as he gets older, the "old gangster" chose to strengthen his strength and polish his skills this summer!

You will be 35 years old next year. Michael, who are you trying to scare with your 114 mid-range shot?

And with your 89 power, why don’t you go inside?

It wasn't until he saw that Jordan's speed had dropped to 93 that Su Feng felt that Jordan was getting older.

Well, in this life...

With the "old gangster" not winning two consecutive championships, Su Feng thought it was impossible to expect casinos and nightclubs to make Jordan weaker this summer.

Having said that, as the system reminded Su Feng before, after Su Feng's weight increased, his current speed potential has dropped from 120 to 117.

Su Feng's speed potential was reduced because the content of basketball strength training was different from sprint training.

Moreover, when maxing out his speed talent, the system reminded Su Feng that unless Su Feng switched to sprinting in the future, he would never be able to reach Bolt's speed potential.

According to Su Feng's previous estimates, with a weight of about 105 kilograms and a speed of about 100, this is almost his future limit.

But how easy is it to reach this limit?

Just like Su Feng's "Maple Backward" requires a lot of experience points, Su Feng's main improvement subjects this summer are strength and back hitting.

Because if he wants Uncle Mu to stop being his nemesis, Su Feng needs to find another way and continue to work hard in the tough battle.

These days, in addition to continuing to practice strength with Mancias, Fraser also began to teach Su Feng more back-fighting skills.

In Su Feng's previous life, there were always people who naively thought that skills could be mastered with practice.

But in fact, if your ability and talent do not reach a certain level, then even if you watch all the videos of Jordan's career, you will still be just an ordinary person.

"Assuming you're facing a guard, you can beat most of the guards in the NBA right now.

But on the front line, you also know that during this period, the opponent can use your waist to reduce the impact of the impact...

Therefore, you must learn how to control power and use rhythm and feints to deceive your opponent. "

Under Fraser's words and deeds, Kobe undoubtedly became Su Feng's best experimental subject.

Because of Su Feng's past life, according to the trajectory of history, Kobe will become the Lakers' sixth man next season and will be selected into the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, as long as he can cut through Kobe, he can deal with most opponents in the low post.

However, while Su Feng was improving like crazy, Kobe's progress was equally astonishing.

To be honest, many times, Su Feng really doubted whether these NBA supermen had cheats?

Otherwise, why would I, who is really a loser, work so hard and be able to barely suppress Kobe?

Fortunately, McGrady, who successfully signed with the Raptors, answered Su Feng’s doubts...

"Kobe, do you feel that we have become stronger?"

On this day, after taking down Tracy McGrady with a big score of 7-1, Su Feng happily hugged Kobe and said.

"Well...Su, actually I have always believed that I will definitely become the best player in this league in the future, and you will become the second best player."

Kobe Bryant, who also defeated Tracy McGrady with a big score of 7-1, said with a smile.

Brother Tracy's heart was full of congestion on this day, so he was looking forward to it. Carter quickly entered the league.

Cousin, I was beaten!

Su Feng and Kobe, who have adapted to the rhythm of NBA games for a year... are they just trying to deal with Tracy McGrady, who is still a rookie for the time being?

However, it’s hard to say whether Su Feng and Kobe will still be able to bully McGrady so happily in a few months...

After all, McGrady is also a bastard who has lifted his talent restrictions.

…

Just as the triathlon brothers were training specially and preparing to return to China with Su Feng, in Chicago, Michael Jordan paused his devilish training.

Of course, when he paused the special training, he did not forget to give Grover some more money.

"From now on, I will not allow you to coach anyone, including the regular season!"

After warning Grover and looking at his agent David Falk, Jordan decided to take action of his own.

Jordan, who has stepped up his efforts to borrow money from God, knows very well that instead of being screwed by the 76ers and failing to win the championship, what worries him more right now is...

The Chicago Bulls are about to fall apart.

It's not that Jordan never thought about leaving Chicago, but unlike leaving with a championship, leaving with failure would be too easy to be labeled a coward.

therefore......

No matter how much he hates Su Feng in his heart, Jordan must first forget about the past...

Terrible season.

In Jordan's view, the Bulls must retain the main framework and further strengthen it.

To achieve all this, Jordan must first reach an agreement with Leinsdorf and Jerry Krause.

In Su Feng's previous life, this summer, Jordan would have had a long tussle with the Bulls.

Yes...you read that right, it's just bullshit!

You may ask from a God's perspective, when the Bulls won two consecutive championships in the previous life, were the Bulls owner and general manager crazy?

Are you still arguing with Jordan over the contract extension?

But in fact, Leinsdorf and Jerry Krause are really not crazy.

Because the reality... is not to play 2K, you can renew your contract if you want.

As we all know, it is just a rumor that Jordan's salary is not included in the salary.

Therefore, after spending more than 58 million US dollars last year but failing to win the championship, Leinsdorf and Jerry Krause have recently begun discussing a longer-term future after Jordan.

The U.S. dollar in the 1990s cannot be compared with the future. You know, in this era, there are really few NBA teams that can make money.

Leinsdorf's money is also earned by people, and as an employer, there is a natural generation gap between him and labor.

Well...fortunately, in this life, when Davis goes to the Raptors and the Nets are very interested in Van Horn...

The Bulls' idea of ​​trading Pippen for Van Horn or Tracy McGrady wouldn't even be possible without Jordan's intervention.

After all, the trade value of young players is so exaggerated in this league.

In the game, perhaps you can bully the computer by modifying or matching the transaction value, but in reality, the 32-year-old Pippen's transaction value, like his salary, is really limited.

So, after thinking hard, Leinsdorf still wanted to keep Jordan.

Because Jordan is the Bulls' box office guarantee.

However, there is no need to elaborate on how much Jordan valued Pippen in the last three games.

Jordan, who knew that he could not flatten the league on his own, disliked Pippen in the first three games, and how tolerant he was of Pippen in the last three games.

In this way, at the end of June, before the free agent market opened, Jordan went to New York first.

There, he played a round of golf with some old friends and even reportedly had a friendly meeting with Knicks owner Dolan.

Suddenly, New Yorkers went crazy.

Even though being hacked by Su Feng caused Jordan to have the stain of "you were beaten by a cycad" on his current personality, Knicks fans couldn't resist Jordan's temptation.

Many Knicks fans have even imagined Jordan playing in Knicks uniforms in their minds.

Leinsdorf became anxious.

Next, on July 1, after the NBA free agent market officially opened, Jordan went to Portland again.

There, he played another round of golf with some old friends and, similar to his previous trip to New York, was rumored to have had a friendly meeting with Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen.

Now, it's the tearing city's turn to boil.

Oh my God, are we going to get Michael Jordan?

When Jordan and his agent Falk were on the plane back to Chicago, Falk looked at Jordan curiously and asked: "Michael...

I really don't understand you. Since you want to leave Chicago, why don't you really meet with Paul or James?

You know, you're a free agent now. "

Looking at Falk, Jordan patted him on the shoulder, "David...because I don't want to leave Chicago."

"Even though Jerry said that to me last year, I still don't want to leave Chicago." After a pause, Jordan added.

Falk, who has a tacit cooperation with Jordan, knows that Jordan is talking about what Leinsdorf said after he renewed his contract with the Bulls at a sky-high price last year:

"I think I will regret it in the future."

In Su Feng's previous life, why Leinsdorf, who spent 30 million to renew his contract with Jordan, said such a sentence after renewing his contract with Jordan has always been a mystery...

Some people say that Jordan deliberately exaggerated Leinsdorf's remarks to make fans sympathize with him;

And some people say that based on the prices of that era, even if the Bulls won the championship, Leinsdorf didn't actually earn much.

In short, no matter how unpleasant Leinsdorf's words are, now, he must meet Jordan.

Because angry Bulls fans have begun to threaten the team to renew Jordan's contract as soon as possible by boycotting the purchase of team tickets for next season.

In addition, when the Bulls' market value took a huge hit, Leinsdorf realized that even if he didn't win the championship, Jordan would still be Jordan.

Renewing Jordan's contract may not make much money, but at least he won't lose money, right?

…

In this way, on the 2nd, Jordan settled this negotiation that was supposed to last a whole summer through a kind of travel.

It is worth mentioning that in this life, without defending the title, Jordan agreed to make concessions on his salary instead of a salary increase.

If you know the history of the Bulls, then you know...

In the summer before the start of the 1997/98 season, "Old Hooligan" was worthy of the title of "God" both on and off the field.

"I can agree to a one-year contract extension of 25 million...but you have to promise Scotty that you will give him certain compensation after we win the championship next season."

To be honest, Jordan is indeed not a good boss, but you can't deny that he is a good player.

Jordan needed Pippen, and through the emotional intelligence God lent him, he saw Pippen's growing jealousy.

In Su Feng's previous life, it was Jordan who vetoed the trade of Pippen for Tracy McGrady in advance, which allowed Pippen to come back to play honestly after taking revenge on the management.

Even if he is abandoned by the whole world, as long as Jordan gives him respect, Pippen is still willing to fight side by side with Jordan.

Now, things are a little different.

When Jordan learned from other teammates that Pippen was not getting treatment for his damn foot injury at the end of the season, Jordan knew he needed to take action.

In Su Feng's previous life, Pippen's left foot injury originally worsened in the playoffs, and then completely exploded after committing suicide in the summer.

In this life, facing external threats, Jordan knew very well that only by unifying the inside could he solve external threats.

To put it simply...

If OK and Harmony look at Su Feng, then Bull and Harmony...

Also thanks to Su Feng.

History is always so strikingly similar.

But the details have changed beyond recognition.

Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause looked at Jordan's determined attitude and finally gave in.

because......

No matter how much the Bulls need, they will become eternal sinners once Jordan joins the Knicks or Trail Blazers next season.

And by then, even if he wants to sell the team, Leinsdorf may not be able to sell it at a high price.

"What about Dennis? I don't think it's a good idea to keep him," Jerry Krause said, looking at Jordan.

After a long sigh, Jordan said to Krause: "I'll convince him."

"I wouldn't put a high price on him," Jerry Krause added.

"Then give him a price that is acceptable to both you and him." Jordan said.

Klaus nodded, and at this time, Leinsdorf added:

"Phil's agent asked us for an annual salary of 4 million... This price is really too high."

"I will not sign the contract extension until negotiations between you and Phil are complete."

After briefly stating his position, Jordan ended the negotiation with Leinsdorf and Kraus.

After thinking about it for two days, Leinsdorf compromised.

In Su Feng's previous life, "Zen Master"'s annual salary next season would have reached US$6 million.

In this era when most famous coaches can only get an annual salary of 1 million or 2 million, Jackson's asking price at the time was undoubtedly astronomical.

However, in this life, without defending the title, "Zen Master" finally reached a one-year contract extension agreement with the Bulls for US$4 million.

The reason why Jackson chose to stay is simple, because in his opinion, the possibility of continuing to win a championship by working with Jordan is higher.

In Su Feng's previous life, after the 1997/98 season, "Zen Master" would rest at home for a year before going out to pick the Lakers' peaches.

However, before Jordan retires, don't doubt Jackson's love for Jordan.

After all, only if you have been Jordan's leg pendant can you know how thick Jordan's thighs are.

After getting rid of "Zen Master", Jordan was not worried about Rodman.

Although Rodman rejected the Bulls' offer of $2.5 million for a one-year contract extension, Jordan knew that Rodman could not go anywhere else.

The 36-year-old Rodman obviously overestimated his own worth. In Su Feng's previous life, when he won two consecutive championships, it makes sense that the Bulls' original offer to Rodman was on the high side.

Because in the future, after winning his third championship, Rodman will find that not many teams in this league are willing to give him the original $1 million.

Therefore, Jordan knew Rodman would definitely be back.

In Jordan's view, Rodman's character is also the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat and accepts death.

Other teams will be more or less concerned about Rodman's character and his notorious past, but Jordan knows that if they want to win the championship, the Bulls need Rodman.

In the same way, Rodman also needs the Bulls.

And although extending Rodman's contract will definitely offend Stern, Jordan, who is familiar with Stern's tactics, knows very well...

He was already in such a miserable state at this time, and the little Jewish old man would not target him again.

So, what Jordan really needs to address...

He is still his deputy who is already considered weaker than Su Feng and Hill among the living.

"Scottie...I have agreed to renew my contract with the team." On this day, Jordan called Pippen and said.

"Really?" Pippen, who was on vacation, immediately felt relieved after hearing the news. After all, he had experienced Jordan's first retirement. He knew that if Jordan left, the Bulls would definitely become a backwater.

"In addition, this contract extension...I agreed to a salary cut." Jordan added on the phone.

"Salary cut?" Pippen couldn't believe that a person like Jordan, who was so fussy, would actually agree to a salary cut?

"Well... because I asked the boss, if I agree to a salary cut, can they make up some salary for you after winning the championship next season...

I'm glad they said yes. "

Perhaps, the road Pippen traveled the most in his life was Jordan's routine.

Of course, Jordan would not agree to a salary cut for no reason.

Therefore, even if the salary is reduced, we must find a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Jordan felt that this was a good opportunity to resolve Pippen's jealousy.

It seems that it's not a big deal if Jordan gets $5 million less, because he can still receive the league's highest salary of $25 million.

but......

If you express some words in another way, the meaning will be different.

Michael chose to take a pay cut for me?

Pippen was shocked.

And he also convinced the management that he was willing to give me... more money after the end of this contract?

Pippen cried.

"I heard that your left foot has been injured, please go get it treated quickly!

You know, without you, I can't win the championship!

Scotty, you know, in my eyes, you're even more important to this Bulls than I am. "On the phone, Jordan continued to cry miserably when he saw Pippen taking the bait.

"I......"

So angry. What Pippen is most angry about at this moment is why there is no knife by his side?

At this moment, perhaps what Pippen wanted to do most was to cross his horse, pick up the knife, and shout:

Scottie Pippen, the laborer, was born as Jordan’s left hand and died as Jordan’s right hand!

"In addition, I also bought you a supercar, I hope you will like it." Jordan added.

"Michael......"

ah! Stop talking!

If you keep talking, I will really have no choice but to kneel down to you!

On this day, Mr. Pi's jealousy was easily shattered by Jordan.

Instead, there is an iron-blooded and loyal heart called "willing to bleed and sweat for Jordan"!

By the way, in Su Feng's previous life, after the end of the 1996/97 season, Jordan would give Pippen a sports car that came with him after winning the FMVP. In this life, although Boss Joe paid for it himself, Er Ye Pi , and finally got the sports car.

In addition, the Bulls front office is not as ruthless as Pippen said?

In Su Feng's previous life, after the child labor contract that Pippen worked for himself ended, in order to help Pippen get a big contract, the Bulls used a sign-and-trade method to help Pippen earn nearly 20 million US dollars more.

In the future, when Pippen was approaching retirement, the Bulls offered him a pension contract.

to be honest......

If you are naive and think that Mr. Pippen is being squeezed, then you will never expect that Pippen’s accumulated salary in his career is actually more than Jordan...

…

In Chicago, after a crazy show of operations, Jordan finally got the Bulls back on track.

But if he wants to win the championship, Jordan thinks this is not enough.

After all, Su Feng had already warned him once, and Jordan didn't want to taste failure again.

"We need reinforcements."

According to the Bulls' contract renewal plan, Jordan's contract renewal will be arranged at the end.

Because this is the most cost-effective way to use bird rights in this system without luxury tax, maximum salary, etc.

So, before the summer league started, Jordan called Jackson.

"We need someone to deal with Sue."

And you may not believe it, Su Feng...

This "ordinary" high school rookie was actually ranked first among the "Zen Master" who needed to be targeted.

“I plan to ask the assistant coaches to recruit more free agents who are good at defense in the summer league. In addition, I have sent scouts to Asia.

Michael, have you heard of Hu...Wei...Dong? "Zen Master" added after struggling to pronounce Hu Weidong's name.

"I heard Scotty say, Phil, in this case, it's up to you to reinforce the team...

But I have to remind you, even if Dennis agrees to stay, we still need an inside man.

Because when we need to fight our opponents, now Toni (Kukoc) has become our weakness. "Jordan said to Jackson on the phone.

"I understand, don't worry, Michael..."

Well, although the 97/98 season has not started yet, after communicating with Jordan, "Zen Master" has a vague premonition that next season...

It will most likely be the last season for this Bulls team.

So after hanging up the phone with Jordan, "Zen Master" wrote a set of words in English in his notebook.

The literal translation from Chinese means:

The final dance.

…

It remains to be seen how the Bulls' lineup for the new season will be composed.

On the other side, breathing the air of Beijing in the 1990s, Su Feng decided...

Get the whole bowl of fried noodles first!

"Su, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Kobe, you can't all throw your luggage to me!" McGrady, who was walking behind Su Feng and Kobe, complained to the two of them.

"Tracy, in the NBA, rookies come here like this. If you don't believe me, just ask Kobe." Su Feng winked at Kobe and said.

Kobe nodded and said: "Tracy, this is a test for us as seniors and you as a rookie!

So, like a man, get our bags! "

McGrady: "..."

Perhaps at this moment, what McGrady regrets most is why he followed these two bastards to China...
