All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Unfortunately.

Although Davis had been completely attracted by Su Feng's plan, and Davis also brought Gruward into the trap...

But Su Feng's "Chicago strategy plan" failed even to take the first step this time and was stillborn.

As the saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes.

January 24th.

Su Feng and others were originally going to Chicago to meet with Jordan on this day...

Due to an unexpected situation, the trip was temporarily canceled.

I have to say that reality is too "real".

It was so true that when Jordan told Su Feng that he wanted to come to Toronto to relax, Su Feng thought that Jordan had also been possessed...

Well, look, why are Su Feng and others running to Chicago now?

Jordan has been delivered to your door automatically.

No idea.

If there were extra choices, why would Boss Qiao do this this time?

Not long ago, after breaking with Leinsdorf, Jordan, who was left with only option C, had already given up on the Raptors option.

However, on the 20th, after the Raptors renewed Ben's contract and all other options failed to come to fruition, Jordan and his agent Falk discovered a surprising fact...

That is:

For Jordan, who has many requirements when choosing a team, at the moment, the only correct answer he has left is...

Only the Toronto Raptors remain.

So now comes the problem.

Why did Jordan and Falke make such a judgment?

In fact, the judgment of Jordan and Falke is not difficult to understand.

Because as long as you know that in the 1998/99 season, after the lockout ended, without renewing the contract with the Bulls, Jordan asked for a maximum salary that other teams simply could not provide, and you can understand.

According to the salary cap of the 1998/99 season and the maximum salary system, Jordan only signed the salary he could get for one year as an example.

As for Boss Joe's 12 million contract this year, there are not many teams that can afford it.

In addition, the salary cap for the 1998/99 season was just over 30 million.

Therefore, teams like the Knicks, Trail Blazers, etc. that were previously selected by Jordan, let alone have no room to sign him...

Even if they want to make room, with only 14 days left before the start of the new season, how much price will they have to pay to clear the salary space?

So, still the same problem.

Jordan is unwilling to cut his salary, nor is he willing to be labeled as a team player. In addition, he also requires that the team he joins must have a certain ability to compete for the championship...

And in this way, his options were directly locked up.

Therefore, after Big Ben signed with the Raptors, he felt that together with Su Feng and Big Ben, he was a copycat version of Jordan from the Bulls. He thought that he should sign a one-year short-term contract with the Raptors first, and then find a way to rush for the championship while continuing to compete again. It would also be a wise choice to wait patiently for other teams to free up salary space for him.

Anyway, this shortened season started in a hurry and ended quickly.

Although if he adds Su Feng and Da Ben, Jordan only has a half-percent chance of winning the championship at most, but compared to those teams that have space but don't have Su Feng and Da Ben, does Jordan still need to choose?

So, after some communication with Falk, Jordan didn't want to wait any longer.

only......

Just before Jordan was about to call Su Feng, Falk reminded him: "Michael, although I don't want to pour cold water on you, I still have to remind you..."

As Jordan's loyal minister, although Falk also believes that the Raptors are Jordan's only choice at present, considering Jordan's character, Falk still pointed out to Jordan several major difficulties in wanting to join the Raptors.

The biggest difficulty is:

Judging from Falke's understanding of Su Feng, Su Feng is not the kind of player who will easily give up his power as the boss, even when facing Jordan.

And if it was an ordinary player, Jordan would just give in if he asked him to.

But for Su Feng, who once led the 76ers to defeat the Bulls, if Su Feng refused to give in and Jordan forced him to give in, then Honey and Qiao Hei would riot.

Hehe, you were beaten by Su Feng at the Chicago Heroes Meeting not long ago, and now you want someone to be your deputy?

Why?

Obviously, Su Feng's appearance has already disrupted the history of this time and space.

He is completely tied to Jordan. In Falk's view, it is undoubtedly the most difficult point for Jordan to deal with next.

Because in addition to being slanderous and mindless, if you black Su Feng, you are black Jordan.

Falk knew very well that for the sake of Jordan's reputation, if Jordan still broke up with Su Feng after only playing for one year in Toronto, Jordan's future reputation would definitely be affected.

As for why Jordan didn't directly confront Su Feng?

Wake up, where does reality come from with so many mindless and blunt arguments?

To put it bluntly, in the world of NBA, the proportion of human nature and sophistication plays such a large role.

In Su Feng's previous life, after the Wizards returned the dual business to God, who knows how much Jordan lowered his status in the minds of young players in the future?

But in this life, before returning the double business to God, after Falke made this point, Jordan quickly reacted.

Look, Jordan covets Su Feng as a helper, but if he can't find a way to deal with Su Feng's character that even dares to tear Brown apart, then wouldn't it be him who Su Feng would tear apart?

And once there is a fight with Su Feng, both parties will suffer losses, and Su Feng will not be able to reap the good fruits. But who said that Jordan will definitely be able to get an advantage?

"If I take a step back first, do you think Su will have a tacit understanding with me?" Jordan frowned and looked at Falk.

really......

Jordan is still the same Jordan.

He has only won five championships in this life, and he is still not satisfied. For the sake of his dream, he is still willing to borrow money from God and do business.

And God…

Anyway, this is a high-interest loan and you will have to pay it back later.

"How do you plan to retreat?" Falk asked curiously.

"In this way, if I join the Raptors, I will take the initiative to tell reporters and fans in front of the media that the Raptors' No. 23 is Su, not me." Jordan said, touching his chin.

"This is a good idea. Although the jersey number is a symbol, in the eyes of fans and reporters, the inheritance between you and Su in the All-Star Game will be back." Erke nodded in agreement.

"In addition, I will find Sue to discuss privately. After I join the Raptors, we don't need to make the team's boss public.

We will work together in a cooperative manner to achieve mutual benefit.

As for who can get what honor, it all depends on their own ability. "Jordan said to Falk.

“This couldn’t be better!

Because of the legacy you and Su shared before, if you can really work together to win the championship this time, then please believe me, this will definitely become a story for the ages in the future! Falk laughed.

There is a saying, in the NBA, it is never a good thing to obscure the big boss.

But if it's Su Feng and Jordan, it's a different matter.

Although he didn't say it to Jordan, Falk knew that as long as public opinion works well, from now on, regardless of whether Su Fengchao surpasses Jordan...

Anyway, the more awesome Su Feng is, the more awesome Jordan will be.

Because the two of them not only fought against each other, but also fought side by side.

In business terms, this is called bundled marketing.

only......

Falk never expected that Jordan would be willing to compromise so much this time.

All right......

Obviously, Falk still underestimated the impact of the Chicago Heroes Conference on Jordan.

At the Chicago Heroes Conference not long ago, Jordan, who fought Su Feng for 300 rounds, knew very well that although Su Feng was still not as good as Pippen at his peak in terms of overall performance,...

In terms of his terrifying physical fitness, tenacious fighting spirit, and big heart at critical moments, in Jordan's opinion, even a hundred Pippens can't compare to Su Feng.

Um......

Um!

Although Su Feng has not yet become Jordan's new love, is it a problem for Jordan to step on Pippen's old love for Su Feng's new love?

For an old scumbag like "Old Rogue", the lower limit was already thrown out of the window when he was tortured to death by the Pistons.

Moreover, the more he struggled at the Chicago Heroes Conference, the more Jordan knew that he now needed teammates like Su Feng.

To put it bluntly, Jordan's choice this time was also the most reasonable choice he made under various opportunities and coincidences.

Therefore, in Jordan's view, as long as Su Feng doesn't have too little emotional intelligence and can have a certain tacit understanding with him, then when he retires, handing the crown to Su Feng will be a good deal.

So, just like that, just when Su Feng and others had booked their tickets and were about to fly to Chicago, on the evening of the 23rd, Jordan suddenly called Su Feng.

It is worth mentioning that in order to deceive others, Jordan also let out the news in advance this time, saying that he would spend a week traveling to various places, and then use the last time to make a decision to stay or leave after the tour is over.

Therefore, when he went to Toronto this time, it was not because he wanted to join the Raptors.

It's just that he was in a bad mood recently and wanted to relax.

And Jordan, whose "twilight scene is bleak", naturally attracted the sympathy of Chicago fans and many stars in the league.

Leinsdorf's life was miserable.

Because in Su Feng's previous life, this guy had caused a lot of ridicule during this period.

have to......

Leinsdorf and Klaus, the eternal sinner pair, can basically be booked in advance.

…

Toronto, to be honest, Su Feng really didn't expect that he and Jordan would meet again in this way just a few days after the Chicago Heroes Conference.

And what Su Feng never expected was that before he even moved, Jordan started to move first.

Jordan said to Su Feng straight to the point: "If I join forces with you, what do you think is the probability that we will win the championship?"

It has to be said that Jordan, who took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Su Feng, asked a very philosophical question.

Because of this question, it seems like Jordan is asking a hypothetical.

But in fact, Jordan was trying to deceive Su Feng through this question.

‘Don’t hesitate, kid, let’s join forces to conquer this alliance. Isn’t it delicious? ’

However, Jordan, who originally thought that Su Feng would have to think about it for a while, was completely shocked when he heard Su Feng's next answer.

"Then 99% of the time we will be the champions next season."

The reason why Su Feng, who has always been steady, gave one percent less was:

What if some uncontrollable factors suddenly appear in this time and space, such as the Three-Body Problem attacking the earth in advance, or Thanos snapping his fingers...

cough......

It's not that Su Feng is too confident, but that he is very confident in Jordan and the Raptors' lineup.

If Su Feng still had some psychological burden when he took the initiative to invite Jordan, now, he has flushed this psychological burden down the toilet.

Well, anyway, the Raptors' current salary is below the poverty line, so even if they don't use the money to sign Jordan, the Raptors will definitely be able to sign a veteran with a premium contract, right?

You know, in Su Feng's previous life, in order to raise wages this season, the Raptors traded Camby, who had clearly told the team management that he would not renew his contract with the team, for Oakley, whose annual salary was as high as 10 million US dollars. .....

To put it bluntly, since the Raptors have to spend this money, why can't they spend it on Jordan?

Is there a better championship tool in this league than Jordan?

And with regard to the Raptors' style of play in the new season, plus Jordan, and the traffic and topics of this Raptors, even in the era of social networks, it may not be comparable.

In Su Feng's view, if he refuses Jordan's kindness because he is worried that Jordan will not be able to surpass him in the future because he won the sixth championship and the three consecutive MVPs he won before, wouldn't that be poisoning himself? ?

To be honest, in this turbulent era in the future, rejecting the championship is definitely not because Su Feng has courage, but because Su Feng's head was caught in the door.

Also, hugging your thighs?

It depends on who is the thigh.

As for Su Feng's experience of beating Jordan, it is impossible for fans to forcefully and brainlessly heap all the honors on Jordan.

Wake up, the time and space Su Feng lives in in this life is fundamentally different from his previous life.

This Jordan was defeated by Su Feng.

Although the three-consecutive MVP is very powerful, in terms of legend, how can this god's divinity be so stable when facing Su Feng?

Therefore, after Jordan and Su Feng got straight to the point, even though neither of them knew how many back-ups and routines the other's straight-to-the-point approach contained, they quickly reached a consensus.

Jordan didn't want to retire.

The Raptors are the best choice right now.

Su Feng wants to win the championship while practicing leveling.

As long as Jordan joins, the Raptors will be the favorite to win the championship next season.

"Michael, I have to say that if it weren't for your teachings, I would never have progressed so fast." Looking at Jordan, Su Feng said with a "sincere" look.

"No, Su, believe me, in my opinion, if anyone in this league can achieve a higher level than me in the future, that person must be you." Listening to Su Feng's deception, Jordan said " Sincerely,” he said in response to the deception.

have to......

He is worthy of being the master of A-cones.

In Su Feng's view, Jordan is really a "gangster" through and through.

"Well, Michael, now that we've said that, if you can, I hope you can listen to my next suggestion."

When Jordan decided to give in, Su Feng also decided to help him.

Anyway, after this cooperation, Su Feng is definitely tied to Jordan. Therefore, the more he brags about Jordan, the more valuable he will be when he surpasses Jordan in the future.

"First of all, can you choose No. 24?" Su Feng asked.

"Why the 24th?" Jordan asked curiously.

"Because although No. 9 and No. 45 are also very commemorative, if I remember correctly, Nick Anderson once said that Michael Jordan with No. 45 is not as good as Michael Jordan with No. 23, right?" Su Feng added.

"snort!"

"Listen to me, Michael.

The reason I hope you choose the 24th is that there are 24 hours in a day, and the 24th can mean that you devote yourself to the basketball court every day.

Also, 24 is one size larger than 23.

Because we are going to take the inheritance route, I naturally have to express my respect and admiration for you in public. "Su Feng continued.

As the saying goes, you have to do the whole thing when acting. From Su Feng's point of view, since Jordan didn't plan to break up with him, there was no need for him to compete with Jordan for the so-called boss.

Of course, there were deeper considerations why Su Feng gave Jordan this advice.

That is, after Jordan expressed his attitude of not grabbing No. 23, Su Feng also used this method to make an agreement with Jordan.

Neither of us wants the boss's seat. This time we will play "Heritage Basketball" and "Torch Basketball" with peace of mind. As for how the honor will be divided in the future, we will wait until we get the honor.

After all, if you can't even win the championship, why bother talking about FMVP?

To put it bluntly, Su Feng took this step back to avoid future conflicts between him and Jordan due to personal interests.

Solving hidden dangers that may occur in the future in advance was Su Feng's consideration in giving this suggestion.

As for the future controversy about this crown?

Ah......

You may not believe it.

Even if it was a nonsense, Su Feng had already thought of a plan to deal with it.

Su Feng had already made up his mind that before Jordan regained his form, he would be his best partner.

And in order to allow Jordan to find out his current problems through the bullfight, Su Feng also planned to record the scenes of him defeating Jordan.

Anyway, whoever dares to criticize him in the future, he will send out this video of countless G's unilaterally beating Jordan.

As the saying goes, there is no basis for words. In Su Feng's view, when the trolls have the ability, they will continue to criticize in front of these videos.

If the trolls still dare to confront him when there is evidence, then Su Feng will definitely let them know how his 8,000 trumpets troll people.

"Are you just expressing your respect and admiration for me in public?" After listening to Su Feng's suggestion, Jordan, who felt that No. 24 was indeed a good number, asked in a joking tone.

Su Feng, who heard that Jordan was joking, spread his hands and said, "What if? Michael, if you want to restore your idol status in my mind, you must at least defeat me in a bullfight, right?"

I remember, we were at the bullfight in Chicago, and I was..."

Okay, shut up!

There is a saying, in Jordan's opinion, Su Feng is good at everything, but his mouth...

Can't you just stop talking?

However, Jordan, who was angry at Su Feng one second, suddenly felt really good after hearing another suggestion from Su Feng the next second.

"This is a good idea. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

Jordan was completely impressed by Su Feng's creativity.

Especially in terms of shamelessness, Jordan feels that this guy can definitely compete with him.

So, just like that, after chatting happily with Su Feng for a few hours, Jordan officially made the decision to sign a one-year contract with the Raptors.

And I don't know why...

At the end of the chat, Su Feng, who was joking and bickering with Jordan almost the whole time...

There is a faint feeling that the Raptors' team culture will go astray next season.

"Could this be the legendary FPX in basketball?"

Su Feng thought silently.
