You must know that it was Rick Sander next to Lu Fei who made this deal happen.

Rick Sander also looked at Lu Fei a little embarrassed, this is a very sensitive issue, and it was because he was worried that Lu Fei would not be able to play and affect the team's record that Antonio Daniels was introduced.

Lu Fei smiled and said: "The adjustment of the team lineup is the job of the general manager, they naturally have their considerations, and what I need to do is to play every game, Antonio Daniels is a good player, as a teammate I think it will be a great thing, I also know that players in the same position in each team have a certain competitive relationship, but healthy competition will only allow each of us to continue to improve our level, and it can also make the team have a good chemistry, I think this is a good thing, Isn't it? ”

The reporter who asked the question applauded Lu Fei's answer.

Lu Fei left a very good impression on all the media present, he did not have an unruly character, and he answered any question politely, just like the current star of the SuperSonics, Ray Allen, he is a complete gentleman.

The meeting was held in such a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.

Until McMillan walked into the arena.

All the flash cameras were aimed at McMillan, and McMillan walked up to the stage, stretched out his hand to shake Lu Fei, and said, "Meet again." ”

Lu Fei smiled, he knew that McMillan was talking about the meeting in Romar's office.

McMillan pulls out a jersey from the staff.

Lu Fei was stunned.

He just came back yesterday, and before he could choose the number of the jersey, the SuperSonics had the jersey ready?

McMillan unbuttoned his shirt.

There was an uproar among all the media present, and then the flash flashed as if it didn't want money.

Lu Fei was also stunned.

Because McMillan is holding a white jersey for the supersonic home team, there is a green stripe on the front of the jersey, on which are the letters SONICS, and the most eye-catching is the number 10 under the two letters LU on the back of the jersey.

This is the shirt number that McMillan has just retired in 1999.

"This ...... Mike, I can choose a different number......" Lu Fei said quickly.

Lu Fei chose No. 10 only because it was his birthday in October, but No. 10 has retired from the SuperSonics, and he has been thinking about how many jerseys to change before.

But he never expected that McMillan would take out the number belonging to his retired jersey again and print Lu Fei's name.

McMillan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Lu, I hope you don't refuse, I am the head coach of this team, and insisting on choosing you is also the most important decision I have made in my life." ”

Lu Fei was stunned.

McMillan picked up the microphone at this time and said affectionately to the media: "I played basketball all my life in the SuperSonics, and even after I retired, I worked on the SuperSonics, and this is my home."

I have to take responsibility for my decision, I chose Lu Fei, so I hope this jersey can always spur Lu Fei, I hope that Lu Fei can wear this jersey and play every game, so that this jersey can be hung again in the sky of the key stadium.

Maybe I can't be so good at coaching, maybe I'll be fired in a few seasons, but as long as this jersey can be hung back in the sky of the key arena, it proves that I chose Lu Fei is the best decision I made for the SuperSonics. ”

Lu Fei knew that he could no longer refuse, and at this time his heart was also touched by McMillan's heart, he has been in the NBA for a long time, and he knows what a retired jersey means for an athlete's life.

He stretched out his hands and solemnly accepted the jersey.

Whisper to McMillan, "Thank you! ”

Lu Fei unfolded his jersey and lifted it on his chest, and stood with McMillan and Rick Sound for a group photo.

The reporters also hurried to take this picture, and the next day's newspaper also used this photo and rendered it greatly.

"McMillan Gives Retired Jersey Number to Lu Fei"

The Legacy of the Supersonic Jersey

"No. 10, the end of a piece of history, the beginning of another new life"

The overwhelming publicity of the media has brought Lu Fei, who won the NCAA championship and won the MOP, back into the fans' field of vision, and Seattle fans are looking forward to what kind of performance Lu Fei can play in the supersonic in the new season.

……

After a busy day until the end of nightfall, Lu Fei came to Daddy Chen's dumpling restaurant.

"Stinky boy, here......"

Father Chen had just finished cleaning up the table, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Fei standing at the door.

"Huanghua beef noodles."

Lu Fei sat on the stool.

"You're an NBA player, can you still eat my little restaurant?" Father Chen was a little worried, he didn't want to be criticized for such a small thing as Lu Fei casually eating.

"Eat once in a while, it's fine." Lu Fei said with a smile.

He really eats once in a while, and during this time, he has been eating nutritious meals according to the trainer's requirements, and he is about to vomit, and it is rare to see his father and he can't still hold his stomach.

It's just that after eating this meal, it is estimated that it will take three days to practice and come back.

"Then you sit down first, and I'll cook noodles for you." Daddy Chen immediately turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the interval between Daddy's cooking noodles, Lu Fei answered the phone calls of several teammates on the team, and the old players called to congratulate the new players, which is also a tradition in the NBA.

The first person to call was Ray Allen, the two of them are acquaintances, they have known each other since Lu Fei played the first NCAA game in Seattle, the two greeted each other a few words, Ray Allen mentioned the matter of the team's training for two days, and said with a smile that Lu Fei would remember to pass two more balls to himself at that time.

Lu Fei knew in his heart when he heard this, McMillan finally chose to withstand the pressure and put himself in the position of starting organization defender.

Thinking back to the situation when McMillan handed him the jersey during the day, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful to McMillan.

The second call was from Rashad Lewis, who had been working in Supersonic for five years and was considered a veteran employee of Supersonic, Lu Fei exchanged a few words of greeting with him, and then hung up the phone.

Lu Fei's impression of Lashad Lewis is a tall two-way forward, accurate three-point in the bottom corner, and has the ability to be low on the left side, but he is a burden on the defensive end, and he doesn't need to defend at the supersonic speed, so the statistics played are not bad, at least the face is passable.

The last call was unexpected, he didn't expect it to be Nick Collisson.

"Hi Lu Fei, I'm Collisson." Nick Collisson's voice was still so deep on the phone.

"Hello, Collison, I think I owe you a word, thank you." Lu Fei said.

Nick Collison thought of that game and couldn't help but smile wryly: "I never thought that after the NCAA season, the two of us would be drafted to the same team." I've been thinking I've been beating you in the NBA, and I don't think there's a chance. ”

Lu Fei couldn't help laughing: "But it's not bad to be a teammate, isn't it?" I'm excited to be your teammate. ”

"Me too."

After Lu Fei hung up the phone, he couldn't help but think of Nick Collisson's honest face.

I'm really looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

Father Chen cooked the noodles and served them in front of Lu Fei.

The two of them chatted, talked about Lu Fei's recent Asian Championships, and talked about playing Japan and South Korea, Dad felt very relieved, but he felt a little unreal, even if the Chinese men's basketball team is the hegemon of Asia, it can't knead all the teams casually.

You must know that the current media is speculating that the Chinese men's basketball team can continue to dominate Asia for at least ten years.

It's just because there is one more Lu Fei.

And can just one more eye-catching guard be so strong? Previously, the Chinese men's basketball team also had an NBA champion Yao Ming, who was defeated in Busan.

Lu Fei didn't know how to explain to his dad that 1+1 was greater than 2, Yao Ming's strength only knew how strong he was when he stood on the field, and he used to play tangled, just because he lacked a good defender.

He didn't know how to explain it to his dad that he understood basketball tactics more than a decade better than his contemporaries — especially the old-fashioned style of play in Asian teams.

After the noodles were eaten, the day was almost over, and Lu Fei should go back.

"Stinky boy, if you have time, come to Daddy's place to eat more often, you can come whenever you come, and when you come, Daddy will cook it for you."

"So good?" Lu Feihu glanced at him suspiciously.

"Of course, who made me your daddy!" Daddy Chen said seriously: "By the way, does your team have free tickets?" Anyway, it's a waste to throw it away, just throw it at me next time, I'm idle and idle......"

“……”

Phew!
