Chapter 338: The All-Powerful Chen Mo
This is a standard 18-hole course with a par 72. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Jordan was looking for Falke, Nick Cooper and Mike Tollin to come and play together, and Jordan's two friends came with him.
Now that Chen Mo is going to fight with Master Qiao, the nature of everyone's play has immediately decreased.
This gamble is still very interesting in everyone's opinion, after all, Chen Mo is the hottest basketball player in the United States this year, and in the current Internet era, Chen Mo is even more crazy than Michael Jordan back then.
Watching the duel between Jordan and Chen Mo on the golf course, coupled with the bet between them, is a very interesting thing.
After all, Chen Mo is a novice, which everyone can see at a glance. Chen Mo is a person who never wants to suffer losses on the basketball court, I don't know if it will be wonderful for him to play golf for the first time and suffer losses on Jordan, an old club.
Everyone is playing together, but there are only two people in the duel, Chen Mo and Jordan.
Because there are more people playing, everyone lines up one by one to play, although they are playing in a golf cart, but it is already dusk after a game.
Michael Jordan finished first with a birdie on the par-4 final hole to finish at 1-under par at 71 on 18 holes.
Chen Mo is now at 69, but he still has one last hole to play.
Jordan sat down in the golf cart with a smile on his face and smoked his cigar.
Jordan called this a Victory Cigar.
"Jack, your only chance is to make a hole-in-one, hit a double eagle and win me. In a deuce, you'll have to play an eagle. If it's a tie, I'll lose, so it's enough for you to play an eagle. Jordan said with a smile. Obviously, he is ready to receive $10,000 from Chen Mo.
"Michael, you're a novice bully!" Falck said.
Jordan took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said with a smile: "There are no new and veteran players here, the winners are good players." ”
Chen Mo said: "Michael, everything is possible, the game is not over yet!" Also, I don't like handicap wins, so I'm going to make a hole-in-one this time. ”
Jordan made a gesture of please, and Chen Mo took another car to the tee point.
Everyone was focused on watching Chen Mo's shot.
Mike Tollin pulled out the camera he had with him, and he was ready to record Chen's shot.
It is not so easy to score a hole-in-one, and some insurance companies have calculated that the probability of a professional player scoring a hole-in-one is about 1 in 50,000, and the probability of an amateur player is about 1 in 150,000. Of course, there are other figures that others have calculated, but this one is the most probable.
"Michael, do you think Jack can score a hole-in-one?" Cooper asked.
"To be honest, I've never hit a hole-in-one." Jordan shook his head and said, "It's too difficult, it's too much luck." ”
"But I think he might be able to." Cooper said.
Jordan looked at Cooper in confusion, and Cooper smiled faintly: "Because he's Jack Chen!" ”
"Golf is not the same as basketball." Jordan said.
However, before Jordan finished speaking, Chen Mo had already swung and hit the ball.
This shot was Chen Mo's pinnacle this afternoon, he controlled the strength of his hand extremely perfectly, and calculated the wind speed. It's just that he still hasn't been sure of a hole-in-one, which is a par-4 hole, and he's even more sure if it's a par-3.
"The Eagles are split." Chen Mo said. Even though Jordan said that he would win if he was evenly divided, Chen Mo didn't like the victory the most. To win, you have to win until the other party is convinced.
The ball flies very high and is extremely fast. This ball Chen Mo has a lot of force when swinging, after all, the force is not big enough to make a hole-in-one. Jordan squinted at the ball's flight path, and finally the ball disappeared from his sight.
Jordan didn't believe that his eyes were bad, he preferred to believe that Chen Mo's ball was out of bounds.
"Out of bounds!" Jordan said excitedly.
If this ball goes out of bounds, Chen Mo needs to replace a ball to continue to play and add a shot, which means that he Jordan has almost won.
Everyone else was looking for the ball, but they didn't see it.
Just when everyone was sorry, Mike Tollin let out a huge exclamation, "Double eagle ball, hole-in-one!" My God, praise be to the all-powerful Jack Chan. ”
Chen Mo waved his fist excitedly, made a golf cart and came to Jordan's side, "Michael, I won." ”
Jordan's face is a little not good-looking, he is also a very competitive person, he really wants to ask Chen Mo to fight again, but today time is obviously not allowed.
"Let's make an appointment next time I have a chance!" Jordan said and wrote a check for $10,000 to Chen Mo.
Bringing a checkbook out is equivalent to bringing all your belongings with you, and Chen Mo decided to get one himself in two days. After all, it feels great to have a private check in hand and sign to pay the money.
The most excited person now is not Chen Mo who won money, nor can it be Jordan who lost money. It's a Mike Tollin who made a lot of mistakes on the golf course this afternoon, and it was exactly like he came to play the funny thought.
"Thank God Jack Chan is a man who surprises at every turn. I'm more confident in my documentary, which will definitely be a monument in the history of documentary. This project will definitely succeed. Mike Tollin held his camera and replayed the footage of Chen Mo from hitting the ball to the hole-in-one just now.
They left Riley Hill after dinner, and Falck sent Torin and Gooper away, and agreed with Chen Mo to look for him at home the next morning.
Chen Mo called a car to go back with Jessica, but he refused Jordan's offer to send them back again. Sloan walked over to Chen Mo, "Jack, I'll send you back!" I can't see when driving at night, so you can be a driver for me by the way. ”
"Good!" Chen Mo nodded in agreement. He guessed that Sloan probably had something to tell him.
Jessica sat in the back row, and Chen Mo and Sloan sat in the front row.
Chen Mo turned on the speaker, the music in the car was all old songs from the last century, Sloan liked this taste, he was a very old-fashioned person.
"Jack, I'm ready to retire." Sloan said.
Although Chen Mo had been prepared, he was still a little shocked when he heard the news, "Don't you want to do it for another season?" ”
"Even if Stephen doesn't retire, it's absolutely impossible to return to his previous level, Gerald Wallace will definitely test the free market, the price he asks Michael won't come out, the core team that wins the championship is only you, of course, as long as you are in Charlotte, you can also attract superstars." "But I don't want to toss anymore, I'm getting older, I'm running out of gas, it's time to retire," Sloan said. ”
"Thank you for allowing me to win the championship before I retired." Sloan said.
Chen Mo said: "When will this news be announced?" ”
Chen Mo was prepared in his heart, so he quickly accepted the news after Sloane finished speaking.
"Wait until Thursday's celebration is over!" Sloan said: "The alliance will not be quiet this summer. ”
Chen Mo didn't speak, in fact, he didn't think much about the team so far, maybe he was more inclined to stay.
"If nothing else, I'll probably stay!" Chen Mo said.
"You said you like big cities!" Sloan said.
Chen Mo said: "Although big cities represent more opportunities to make money, I am very happy here, and Michael is good to me. ”
Before the Bobcats' celebratory parade, a reporter broke the news that Sloan was leaving. It wasn't that someone had stabbed the reporter, but that a reporter had spotted Sloan packing up his salute.
But the news didn't cause a stir among Charlotte's fans, firstly, the news was not confirmed, and secondly, Sloan's importance to the Bobcats winning the championship was far less than Chen's.
After the coordination and arrangement of various departments in the city of Charlotte, the Bobcat's victory celebration parade went as scheduled, and everything went very smoothly.
They set off from the entrance of the Time Warner Center, and Chen Mo took Jessica to sit in the front row of the float, and before the float departed, it was the speech of Chen Mo, the MVP of the finals.
"Thank you to the fans for their support, it's been a legendary season, I love this city and I love you guys even more! I grew up in this city, I have made some of my best memories in this city, and I will continue to protect it. I love everything about it. ”
Enjoying the cheers and worship of the fans like a tsunami, the float began to move around the lake, the gold cup was at the front, and Chen Mo sat on the float with Jessica in his arms.
The float's route includes several of Charlotte's most famous attractions, and it takes a total of 4 hours and 37 minutes to make a loop back to Time Warner Center.
Jessica stayed with Chen Mo for the whole march, and the next morning she flew back to Los Angeles, after all, she had been with Chen Mo long enough.
"Actually, I'd rather you come to Los Angeles next season. That way we can be together often, but if you choose to stay in Charlotte, I'm behind you. Jessica said to Chen Mo when they were separated.
Chen Mo didn't answer anything, and waved goodbye to Jessica.
That same afternoon, Jerry Sloan announced his resignation.
Although some reporters have made speculations, when Sloan did announce his resignation, some people still saw some bad signs from here.
After all, the transfer window will not open until July 1, and all the player transfer news before that can only be some clues and clues captured by reporters.
Whether the core players of the Bobcats who won the championship can stay, and how they will be strengthened this summer, there has been no particularly definite news.
But the news of Mr. Sloan's resignation came so quickly that there was always some concern.
Jordan attended the press conference, and this time Sloan appeared calm about his resignation.
"I have to thank the city, this team has fulfilled my dreams and I would love to stay. It would have been great to have another record of coaching one team in a row, but it won't work. I ran out of gas in the tank and the pressure on the coach position was so great that I had to rest. ”
"I'm sorry we lost a good manager, but then the Charlotte Bobcats will keep going, we're definitely going to make a difference this summer, and next season we're going to be defending the title!" Jordan's rhetoric is very official.
In the afternoon, Chen Mo met the old man at Sloane's house, "You're here to see me off, right?" Sloan said.
Chen Mo said: "After all, you came here because of me, and I should send you away." ”
"I don't know if I should say something." Sloan said.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "You say!" ”
"If you can ......" Sloane paused and said, "Forget it, let it be!" There's no need for me, an old man, to say so much. ”
Chen Mo frowned, he could probably guess what Sloan was going to tell him. Maybe it was to persuade him to leave Charlotte, but he didn't know why Sloan would say that. The bigger reason for his resignation was because of the collapse of the conversation with Jordan?
Chen Mo suppressed the speculation in his heart and sent Sloan to the airport.
So far, Jordan has not talked to him about a contract extension, and his contract expires on July 1, when he will be a full free agent. It's all about going wherever you want.
In the evening, Chen Mo received a call from Jordan at home, "Hey! Jack, tomorrow we're going to Las Vegas, you don't have to prepare anything, just take someone with you. You probably haven't been there yet! I'll take you to see the world. ”
Things for the team seem to be getting messier and more complicated lately. And Chen Mo didn't do anything, he didn't contact anyone, but he didn't seem to know anything.
That day he met with Falck, who talked to him in detail about what commercials he needed to shoot in the summer and what his itinerary was. As for his contract renewal, Falke didn't say a word, and he didn't know what Falke was thinking.
"Now, I seem like a fool who has been kept in the dark." Chen Mo laughed at himself.
On Friday, June 17, Chen Mo flew to Las Vegas with Jordan and his two entourage.
Jordan also brought two attendants similar to bodyguards, while Chen Mo only brought himself, in addition to his checkbook, it felt good to put all his belongings in his bag and take it away.
"Jack, as crazy as Las Vegas is, you have to beware of getting drunk outside." Jordan laughs: "Getting married in Las Vegas is as easy as fast food, and you're now the most sought-after man in the United States, and you can't come back from a night of hangover and find out you're married." ”
"Maybe, my wife is still an aunt who is nearly fifty years old?" Chen Mo rolled her eyes, "Michael, you change your career to become a screenwriter." ”
Chen Mo could feel that Jordan brought him to Las Vegas to talk to him about the contract renewal and the team's next team building ideas. In the extravagant casino, maybe Chen Mo agreed to everything as soon as he was happy.
Chen Mo didn't want to comment on Boss Qiao's scheming, but he didn't like Jordan's way.
"Let's see what he has to say! Respond to change with the same. Chen Mo thought. (To be continued.) )
