Chapter 111: Chicago Storm
Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, is one of the world's famous international financial centers.
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan and in the heart of the North American continent, Chicago is the largest central business district and one of the largest futures markets in the United States. In addition, Chicago is home to many world-famous high-rise buildings and is known as the "home of skyscrapers".
On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of workers in Chicago went on strike for an eight-hour workday and won a resounding victory. This is where May Day began. The workers fought for a great victory, and now the people ...
There is no doubt that this is a thriving city with a rich history.
The ball market here is very hot, the Lakers sit on the team bus, and everywhere you can see spray paintings about basketball and Jordan on the streets.
"Cool! I love the vibe. Fisher leaned in front of the window.
"Michael is influencing a generation." Bryant spoke.
The impact is far-reaching, and the impact that basketball has brought to the world is not limited to the game of American professional basketball.
A great sport is more than just a competition. He should have a meaning, a kind of strength for everyone who follows the game.
Football has brought teamwork to the world, table tennis has brought Chinese faith, football has brought strength to the United States, and baseball has brought youth to Japan.
And that's not all, but there are also many influences. Your life is more than just your favorite sport, the star, there are so many things in reality that you need to treat with your passion.
But what has it done to you that sports?
Kobe Bryant thought about it for a long, long time.
What can he do for the average fan?
Kobe Bryant hopes that he can use basketball to let fans learn something. It's not just basketball skills, it's passion, energy, hope, perseverance, and so on.
The spirit of Mamba will last forever.

The Chicago Bulls joined the NBA in 1966 and have not moved or changed their name in history.
In the '66-'67 season, the team used the Chicago Amphitheater and from '67 to '94 used the Chicago Coliseum as its home stadium. This stadium witnessed the Bulls' first Triple Crown dynasty.
In 1992, Jerry Rainsdorf, president of the Bulls, and William Waltz, president of the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL, reached an agreement to build a modern stadium, the Union Center.
The United Center arena has been in operation since 1996, and United Airlines paid $1.8 million a year to enjoy the stadium's naming rights until 2014. The privately owned gymnasium spans 960,000 square feet and is located on a 46-acre plot of land, directly west of Chicago's Rupp business district.
Billed as the largest stadium in the U.S. (in terms of size, not the number of seats), it can accommodate 21,879 spectators for basketball games, 20,500 spectators for ice hockey games, and 23,000+ spectators for professional wrestling matches. The stadium hosts more than 200 games every year.
Red is the main theme of this arena, and the Lakers were on the bus, and they saw the red banner outside the United Center arena far away.
Once inside the stadium, both in the locker room and on the field, the rich red fills the eyes.
The game was broadcast live across the United States by NBC, and the studio commentators were already in place.
Orlando Ulrich, a power forward who worked with Jordan in his first two seasons and averaged 22.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in those two seasons. At the same time, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 88-89 season and the 89-90 season.
Mafu Albert is a sports presenter in the United States. He is often referred to as the "voice of basketball" due to his recognition of his status as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. From 1967 to 2004, he was also known as the "voice of the New York Knicks."
"Let's hear, which side do you fancy in this game, Mr. Ulrich?" Ma Fu's commentary is very funny, and he has been the commentator for many finals in recent years.
"I'm more bullish on Michael, the Bulls have more hard power and more experience. The Lakers may be strong in the future, but they need to wait and see how young players develop. ”
"Yes, the vast majority of people are bullish on Chicago. 72 wins, Jordan, championship these words are associated with the association of the audience is victory! ”
"The Lakers have a lot of good young people, and I think in 3-5 years, they will replace the Bulls as the ruler of the league."
"Shaq and Kobe, right? The two of them are the best, and they will be the next magician and the heavenly hook. ”
"Of course, especially the little ones who have repaired the Pacers so badly! Larry Brown's bad guys all know about it, and I'm glad these kids got it right! ”
"Reggie's absence would make it difficult for the Pacers to move because they are so short of offensive players. Maybe they'll fall out of the playoffs? ”
"It's not impossible, the competition in the east is very fierce."
"To paraphrase Kobe, God bless him."
"Kobe's remarks are always funny, aren't they? Did you see his provocative Michael's statement? ”
"Of course! Very imposing! Let's see how Michael responds! ”
"The game is about to start, and the Lakers' starting lineup: PG Kobe Bryant, SG, Eddie Jones, SF, Bruce Bowen, PF, Eldon Campbell, C, Shaq O'Neal."
"Bulls' starting lineup: PG: Ron Harper, SG, Michael Jordan, SF, Scottie Pippen, PF, Dennis Rodman, C Luke Longley!"
The Lakers players played to a chorus of boos.
"Fack! I hate the atmosphere! Fisher muttered to himself.
"Then look at this!" Bryant strode towards the Bulls mascot, Bull Bailey.
"How's it going today? Bailey? ”
"Not bad. What about you, Kobe? ”
"Not very happy." After saying that, Kobe pushed Pele to the ground.
"I'm happy now!"
"Oh, poor Bailey." The Lakers players laughed, and the pressure on the Bulls' home court was gone.
The venue suddenly went dark, and the staff turned off the lights.
The Bulls' players walked out of the tunnel in turn.
With Sirius in the background, the shouts of the DJs and the shouts of the fans are deafening!
Eventually, the man walked out slowly.
"Now it's the University of North Carolina, a four-time world champion! Chicago Bulls! Number 24, Michael! Jordan! ”
In this era of shining stars, the most powerful man slowly walked onto the court.
Michael jordan! 4-time overall champion, 4-time FMVP! 4-time MVP! 2-time All-Star MVP! 10-time All-Star! 9 All-Defensive Team and 7 All-Defensive Team Teams. Defensive Player of the Year 87-88. 8-time league scoring champion and 3-time league steal leader. Rookie of the 84-85 season.
That's Jordan's honor at the moment! It's not those accolades that make Jordan, it's Jordan who makes them greater.
Jordan led basketball to greatness, making the championship one teenager dream after another.
At present, he may only be one step away from becoming the god of basketball.
And Kobe Bryant's eyes were burning at this man, wanting to become a god?
Then I'll be the god killer!
