bull

Chapter 107

In mid-October, the Bulls hold a preseason game in Las Vegas.

In several preseason games, the Bulls won by an overwhelming advantage.

The Bulls look stronger than they did last year, and they have decent chemistry with a full-stacked team.

At night, after the game, what is life like for a Bulls player?rest?of course not!
Under the leadership of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman rushed into the casino together.As the person with the lowest salary among the three, Bai Jidong came to the scene based on the principle of "I'll just watch and not gamble".

Bai Jidong chooses to watch the game that he understands.Jordan is like a different person in the casino. He is not calm at all, and spends a lot of money at every turn.

In contrast, Pippen is much more cautious. As long as he loses money, he will stop and never be greedy.

This is the correct way of playing. No one would continue to play persistently after losing hundreds of thousands like Jordan.

"Fuck! There's something wrong with this machine! I won't play anymore!" Rodman also lost 10,000+, and his cash has been wiped out.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jidong couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you want to gamble with such an IQ? It's not suitable for you at all, okay?" "You have a high IQ, so come and play!" Rodman said angrily.Bai Jidong put his hands into his pockets, turned back to the empty pockets, and said: "If I have money, I will definitely play."

"So, this is a rich man's game. Even if you are smart, you have no money, so don't BB." Rodman counted losses and output a sense of superiority.

Bai Jidong looked at him in disbelief, is this person mentally ill?Losing 10,000+ just to prove that you are rich and can afford to lose?If you have more money, you can give it to me, and I will charge as much as you give.
Playing until midnight, Jordan finally won a few hands.

His Majesty the Flying Man was satisfied, he had obviously lost hundreds of thousands, if the people in the casino hadn't watched him pitifully lose a few rounds, he probably would have stayed here all night long.

Feeling satisfied, Jordan lit a cigar and bit his teeth: "Let's go and relax." "I didn't bring any money." Bai Jidong said.

Jordan was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Today I treat guests."

This boldness made those who didn't know how much money he had won.

Bai Jidong really doesn't understand the rich people's world view.Lost all night, just because of the last few consecutive victories, so happy?Will a team with dozens of losing streaks be hysterical and ecstatic because of a few consecutive victories at the end of the season?No way.

Jordan comes to Las Vegas a lot.Even during the season, if he had a gambling addiction, he would fly here overnight to gamble.He knew Las Vegas as well as Chicago, and finding a place to relax was a breeze.Jordan took Bai Jidong and others to a luxurious nightclub, where the lights were bright, and there were strippers dancing in every room.

"Mike, is it okay for us to stay out all night together?" Although Zen Master's management is lax, but all three main players and one main rotation will not return to the hotel at this time, it is too disregarding the team's management regulations.

"I greeted Phil." Jordan's words reassured Bai Jidong, and he picked up a glass of wine, "For this beautiful night."

"For a good night." Pippen raised his glass likewise.

Jordan laughed: "Are Chinese people as good at persuading wine as you are?" "Yes, this guy is the best at persuading wine." Rodman said immediately.

Bai Jidong smiled bitterly: "I'm still a child, so I only have one drink." "Come on! There's still another drink after one drink." Rodman did it first as a respect.The four of them drank together.

After drinking, Bai Jidong made up his mind not to drink anymore.But with Jordan Pipen and Rodman sitting next to the three big bosses, how can he let him?
The three of them took turns drinking, Bai Jidong cursed in his heart while drinking: Who the hell said that Americans don't persuade people to drink?This fucking persuasion is even more exaggerated than in China!

Bai Jidong drank more and more, gradually became drunk, his eyes felt dizzy for a while, and in the end, he was basically unconscious.

The next day, he woke up in a strange bed.He wanted to lift his leg, but found that there was something pressing on his leg. He got up and saw that it was Rodman.

This guy actually fell asleep using his feet as a pillow, and what's even worse is that he's still drooling!The strands of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth to Bai Jidong's legs.

"I'll go!" Bai Jidong was disgusted, and he didn't want to wake Rodman up, so he picked up a pillow, gently moved his legs away, and put the pillow under it, "This old man is really crazy! He's so old And binge drinking all day long."

Bai Jidong cursed non-stop, went to the bathroom, faced the saliva-stained part three times left and right three times, squeezed the shower gel ten times before he convinced himself, "Well, Rodman's smell has almost disappeared. "

The Bulls have won all eight preseason games.Through these eight games, the Bulls also set the final roster.

In addition to the players who played for the team last season, there are three more players: Robert Parish, Bison Dele, and Matt Stejner.

In the first game of the regular season, the Bulls visited Boston to challenge the Celtics.

Before the game, the Celtics played a video tribute to Robert Parish.

The chief looked calm and unwavering. Tens of thousands of people cheered for him and praised his achievements here, but there was no slight fluctuation on his face, as if he was not the one who enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

"Robert is still the same Robert. On this moving night, he still maintains an awe-inspiring solemnity. A lot of information indicates that this will be his last season. I am very happy to see the last season of Robert and when he came to the league at the beginning of '76. Exactly the same, from beginning to end, he never changed."

The old Chiefs stole some of the limelight, but the game was still dominated by the rest of the Bulls.

The Celtics, who lacked stars, could not fight against the Bulls. They collapsed in the third quarter and eventually lost at home.

帕里什出战9分钟，3投3中得到6分3篮板。

Jordan and Kukoc are the main offensive force of the Bulls. Jordan scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, while Kukoc scored 20 points efficiently.

Bai Jidong played 28 minutes without taking a single shot. He got 4 steals and 2 blocks by defending. His presence made the Bulls' defense even more terrifying.

In a defense in the third quarter, he switched defenses against the three Celtics in a row, paralyzing the Celtics' offense. Then Pippen succeeded in a high-pressure defense and intercepted the ball, and the Bulls set off a frenzy on both offense and defense.

"Some guys are destined to enjoy the cheers and applause. They shine brilliantly in goal after goal, which makes us ignore others." Talking about Bai Jidong's performance, Zen Master said: "He is the kind of defensive player. A guy who contributes selflessly, but silently acts as a green leaf for his teammates on the offensive end. You can watch the video and see how many shots Tony made because of Bye’s pick-and-roll for space.”

The horn of the new season has officially sounded.A day later, the Bulls returned to Chicago to face the Philadelphia 76ers.

As a young team, the 76ers are full of vigor. They have Jordan's successor Jerry Stackhouse and the windy and quick wizard killer Allen Iverson.

This is Iverson's second NBA game. In the previous NBA debut against the Bucks, Iverson gave a star-level performance, with 30 points and 6 assists in the game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60%.

You must know that this is only his first NBA game. Watching him tear up the Bucks' defense time and time again in the game, the commentator exclaimed: "I haven't watched "Pearl" Monroe's game, but I will tell you about it." The kids said I witnessed a great AI's first NBA game."

Iverson's arrogance was shown from the beginning of the game. He was not afraid of the Bulls' perimeter defense at all, and he opened his posture to fight Jordan one-on-one.

He made a wrong calculation. From the very beginning, the Bulls arranged for his characteristics. This night, Iverson played poorly. He couldn't adapt to the Bulls' defense and scored only 15 points on 4 of 15 shots.

Iverson was not the only one restricted. Another rising star of the 76ers, Stackhouse, was marked by Bai Jidong.

For this person who planned to "refrigerate" him in the Rookie Challenge, Bai Jidong tried his best to defend against him.

Not only scoring, Stackhouse had difficulty connecting the ball. When Iverson was blocked, the 76ers needed him to score. In the end, he took 13 shots, hit 4 goals, and scored a poor 9 points.Bai Jidong, who was playing against him, galloped freely and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

It is worth mentioning that this game was also broadcast live in China.

After the game, CCT5 interviewed Bai Jidong on the spot: "Hi Xiaobai, I am a reporter from CCT5. Your performance in the game is impressive. Many professional commentators believe that you can be the team's starter. What do you think of it?"

"Ron has more experience than me. It is up to the coach to decide whether to start or not."

"Bye, your defense is impressive, and your shooting has also improved. I heard that you strengthened your shooting training in the summer. Is this true?" A question from a reporter from "Sports Illustrated".

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "Of course, everyone knows that my shooting is not good. I will definitely practice. I have a good hand tonight. It's not something you can have every day."

The Bulls started their winning streak.They were unstoppable, beating twelve teams in a row.

Among them, in the game against the Miami Heat, Jordan bombed wildly, scored 50 points and 6 assists, and buried Alonzo Mourning's 39 points and 15 rebounds.

Soon, in the game against the Phoenix Suns, Jordan Pippen scored 74 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists together, and together created a 30-point murder in Phoenix.

After the game, Suns coach Danny Ainge criticized the way the Bulls played: "They didn't come to play! They came to kill!"

"I have no intention of changing the way we play, if Danny thinks it's not right, let the referee blow the whistle, in other words, if the referee thinks there is nothing wrong, then Shut up
. "Facing his old opponent, Jordan was not polite at all.

The Suns swallowed the bitter pill, and the Bulls continued their winning streak. Their next opponent is the Denver Nuggets.

Obviously, the Nuggets can't stop the Bulls either.

The Bulls continued their fiery form, with six players scoring in double figures, overthrowing the Nuggets and leading the league with [-] consecutive victories at the start of the game.At first some people thought that the Bulls could break the regular season record set last year, but first, they have to continue to win.Finally, they ushered in the strongest team since the start of the game - the Utah Jazz.

"If Utah can't stop the Bulls, then let's congratulate the Bulls in advance for the [-]-game winning streak, because this is the most likely team the Bulls have encountered in November to beat them." Spurs star George Gervin said Said.

For the Bulls, the Jazz is also an opponent that cannot be ignored. The arrangement for the Jazz began two days before the game.

"Malone likes to catch the ball here, Dennis, you have to find a way to make him uncomfortable." Jackson shouted.

Rodman replied: "Phil, this is what I do best, you can rest assured."

The problem is that Rodman is hard to reassure.

As for Bai Jidong, he stood alone under a basket, surrounded by a bunch of basketballs.

When there's no group practice, he's here to shoot.It's the only thing he's passionate about, and he's already tasted the benefits of shooting the ball, and he wants to enjoy it forever.

However, even with such hard work, his shooting is still inconsistent.

"Don't think about it too much, your shooting is much better than last year." Chris Morvin said.
