Chapter Thirty-Six: A Fateful Dialogue
“I’m Back!”
Su Feng, who has been in two lives, knows very well how shocking Jordan's comeback will be this time.
However, because he already knew the reason for this plot in advance, Su Feng thought that his heart would not have too many waves.
However, Su Feng soon discovered:
Myself, I'm still too young.
Only here can you experience the most intuitive impact of the earthquake in March 1995, when Michael Jordan announced his comeback.
All the TV stations in the United States, no matter what news or program they were broadcasting, stopped at this moment.
And this kind of news treatment generally only appears when the commander of the Mi Li family is assassinated and the Gulf War.
On TV, when Michael Jordan appeared, people were at first overwhelmed, then nostalgic, and then unstoppable excitement.
At Bryant's house, when Su Feng saw the news with Kobe and Kobe's father Joe, Su Feng noticed the change in the expressions of the father and son.
Bryant's body was trembling, trembling uncontrollably.
Qiao slowly put down the can of Coke in his hand, and on the can, Su Feng noticed an obvious dent.
Flames after flames seemed to erupt from Kobe's chest at this moment.
Joe, who was sitting on the sofa, kept shaking his legs, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
“I’m Back!”
He.
Michael jordan.
It's back!
The whole of North America went crazy!
All endorsements and commercial stocks related to Jordan skyrocketed in an instant.
At the same time, the seven major bookmakers in North America immediately revised the odds of the Chicago Bulls to win the championship from 40 to 1 to 5.
The remaining tickets for the Bulls, both home and away, were sold out.
NBC TV urgently adjusted the live broadcast plan of Jordan's comeback game against the Pacers, from the original broadcast of only half of the United States to the national broadcast of the United States.
All of the newspapers featured a photo of Michael Jordan the next day, along with his classic "I'm Back!" ”。
Major TV stations and newspapers are urgently mobilizing basketball reporters who they can, and then, these people have only one task:
Fly to Chicago and bring back first-hand reports about Jordan.
What kind of influence is this?
What kind of energy is this?
How popular is that?
As we all know, this is an era without social networks.
However, the ripple effect triggered by Jordan's comeback this time, even in the future, is quite rare.
Some say that Michael Jordan was officially canonized after the last three in a row.
But in fact, in March 1995, when he announced his comeback, he was already on the throne.
The NBA shook.
The four major North American sports leagues shook.
If David Stern personally held out the great god Michael Jordan, now the little Jewish old man can't believe what he's seen.
Even if the NBA has learned the news of Jordan's comeback in advance, even if Stern has made countless plans, but in front of Jordan......
None of this is worth mentioning.
The whole of the United States, has gone crazy.
All the superstars in the NBA are under pressure.
Among them, the defending champion Houston Mosaic bore the brunt.
As soon as Jordan announced his comeback, people wanted to interview Da Meng and Tang Shuai.
But Su Feng knew......
At this time, Tang Shuai is still turning his big move.
So, this time Mosaic chose silence.
Countless Qiao Mi couldn't stop the excitement in their hearts.
Look, no matter how lively you were before.
Now, let's watch the ending with us.
For the United States, which is in the midst of an unemployment crisis at this time, when learning of Jordan's comeback, the commander of the rice family, Keshi Eagle Sauce, even said excitedly in an interview: "Jordan's comeback will add 10 million jobs to the United States." ”
The mayor of Chicago wants to do the most at this moment is to hug Jordan and kiss him, because he knows that Chicago's economy, it has lived the LEI again!
Ahem.
In a nutshell......
However, Su Feng has no culture.
A sentence of lying in the groove of the world.
……
And just when Su Feng was calming down the shock brought by Jordan's comeback, he ......
Bryant suddenly spoke: "I decided." ”
Su Feng turned his head to look at Kobe Bryant and sent Kobe an O'Neal question mark emoji.
Big brother, what have you decided?
"I'm going to skip college and bring my talent straight into the NBA!" Kobe Bryant looked at Su Feng seriously, seriously and without joking.
Su Feng: "......"
Well......
Well.
In fact, Su Feng really wanted to tell Kobe Bryant, you don't have to tell me about this, I already knew.
However, in this life, after becoming friends with Kobe, Su Feng can be regarded as dispelling the rumors about why Kobe Bryant skipped college and went directly to the NBA.
In fact, in Su Feng's previous life, there are many versions of the conjecture about why Kobe Bryant skipped college.
And Kobe Bryant himself and many Kobe biographies usually use the following:
"I'm going to have a fair fight with him on the pitch before he retires!" Kobe said excitedly to Su Feng.
Su Feng is not stupid, he knows that what Kobe Bryant said is Michael Jordan.
Although the NBA at this time allows players to skip college, Su Feng, who is familiar with history, knows very well that even in this period, players who skip college directly are different in the NBA.
In 1974, Moses Malone, who graduated from high school, decided to skip college and make a lot of money because his family was poor and couldn't bear to see his mother working.
In 1989, Sean Kemp, who sacrificed his IQ for basketball talent, decided that since he couldn't even cheat on college exams, he might as well play in the NBA.
With the addition of Dalloby and Wilkens, yes, before 1995, high school students in the NBA were so rare, all of them were giant pandas.
Therefore, players who dare to skip college and go straight to the NBA are either talented or have their own reasons why they have to skip college.
But Su Feng remembers very well that in 95, there will be Garnett, and in 96, there will be Kobe and O'Neal Jr., and in 97, there will be Maddie.
And in the future, there will be many players who run to run for the election in the middle of college.
You know, this is not the future.
This was the '90s, and players here were generally going to play in college for three or four years before joining the NBA.
Even Vince Carter spent three years in college, not to mention Duncan, who slowly joined the NBA after finishing college.
If you look at the quality of the draft, in addition to the well-known golden generation of '96, the draft quality of '97 and '98 is also very high.
So, what is it that makes these talented basketball wizards eager to play in the NBA?
You know, in 1995, the NBA has introduced new regulations.
Now, rookies can no longer ask for as much as they used to.
In fact, in Su Feng's previous life, many keyboard warriors and experts in the future came to the same conclusion when sorting out biographies and recalling the past:
That's what people in the '90s seemed to be very hard-headed.
The different concepts of the times have created a lot of misunderstandings.
After Jordan announced his comeback, for these young talents, it was like invisibly adding a hot-blooded buff to them.
Damn, Jordan is back!
Go, brothers, copy guys!
That's right, for many newcomers who joined the NBA after Jordan's comeback, they all have one belief, and that is:
Labor and management are Jordan!
If the head is not iron, it will be a young man in vain.
Although not everyone has this mentality, there are indeed many young talents who joined the NBA with this idea in mind.
Before Michael Jordan retired, he played with Jordan.
In Su Feng's previous life, many people thought that Kobe Bryant joined the NBA in a hurry to hammer Hardaway, so as to take revenge on Hardaway for not signing an autograph for a group photo.
But actually......
At this time, Kobe didn't know that Hardaway would be reimbursed for the next season, for the young Kobe, Hardaway was also young at the time, and Kobe had the opportunity to play with Hardaway.
You must know that after Kobe Bryant joined the NBA, his most exciting moment was to fight Jordan.
Including '96 champion Allen Iverson.
These young people seem to be obsessed, and they all want to fight Jordan.
And Jordan didn't refuse.
Because Jordan, who made a comeback for the second time, seems to have become a kind of symbol, a symbol.
Chicago has become the new basketball mecca, and Jordan didn't tell these young pilgrims that the future is yours......
Because the greatest pleasure of the "old rascals" is to leave a shadow in the hearts of these newcomers.
Come on, kids, try harder, and you'll be ahead of me!
If you have watched the NBA in the 90s, you know how "black-bellied" Jordan is.
He's like a senior with a "bad taste", and he never gets tired of being alone with newcomers, and he's deeply immersed in it.
And the newcomers are also happy to play Jordan, because if you score about the same as Jordan, you can blow it to your friends: I and Jordan 55.
The most miserable newcomer in Su Feng's impression is the famous NBA supporting actor - Stark House.
Hey, why is there such a thing everywhere?
Don't be surprised, if it was a shame to be defeated by Kobe Bryant one-on-one before he ran for the election, then Stackhouse was publicly executed after he made disrespectful remarks to Jordan.
In the 95/96 season, Starkerhouse, who averaged 19.2 points per game at the time, felt that he was invincible, so he ran to the media and said: I'm not afraid of Jordan, I can prevent Jordan from death, he is no longer the Jordan he used to be.
Then, after learning about it, Jordan destroyed Stackhouse's confidence against the 76ers.
Against his North Carolina junior, Jordan scored 48 points and only scored 12 points against Stackhouse.
At that time, in order to avoid being abused in the future, Stackhouse had to say from the bottom of his heart after the game: "My senior brother's temper is too hot, I hope he won't be so hot in the future......"
In addition, Jordan has many famous cases of femdom newcomers, such as Payton......
Of course, there are exceptions.
That is, Jordan is very fond of Kobe.
Because in the face of his imitator, Jordan feels that his past temptation is worth it, and lo and behold, even if I am not there in the future, people in the rivers and lakes can think of me as long as they see Kobe.....
My disciple Kobe, can fight the whole league!
Ahem, it's far away again.
……
Bryant's family, listening to Kobe's classic line, Su Feng performed very cooperatively: "Are you serious?" ”
Bryant nodded, "Of course it's serious!" I'm going to skip college, and I'm going to have to fight Michael a dozen. ”
Su Feng gasped as if he was shocked, and then immediately gave Kobe Bryant a thumbs up.
Come on!
Bryant!
Watch out for you!
And just when Su Feng was thinking about how to perform next, Kobe Bryant suddenly looked at Su Feng and asked, "By the way, Su, have you thought about your future?" Do you want to go to college? Which university to attend. ”
Su Feng was stunned.
And then.
He.....
petrified.
“!!!”
Because the moment Kobe Bryant asked him this question, in his mind:
"System: It's time to chart your NBA route!"
