Chapter 90: Everyone's Finals

Whether it is a silent and introverted super power forward, or an elderly king who has never fallen off the altar after his peak.

A big war is on the horizon!

There is a saying in China that once a son of heaven is a courtier, and the period of NBA renewal has been shortened.

In the finals, which bring together the best basketball players on the surface today, there are often people who win the championship, and there are people who have been slumped since then.

If Joe helps the master win the championship, it will be another good story that has been passed down through the ages.

But if Deng Du wins the championship, it will announce the arrival of his time.

There will always be people who will take on the challenge, and there will always be people who will go all the way, and that's why they are where they are today.

The team entered the finals, and the coach contributed a lot, but Hu Qingniu was preoccupied.

He called his relatives and friends, Daddy, Wanru, and Dean Freeman, and invited them to watch his finals.

But apart from them, Hu Qingniu found that he actually didn't have much sense of belonging in this world.

He has very few friends, and apart from the Wizards, there are few people to communicate with.

As a Chinese, Hu Qingniu, who was an orphan since he was a child, was reborn in this strange world with his memories is actually very lonely.

So he longs to be recognized, so he chooses a path that he is familiar with and that will also make many people recognize him.

But now that his team has entered the finals, there are still very few people who can really accompany him.

After Dad and Wanru, as well as Dean Freeman, relatives and friends informed them one by one, Hu Qingniu put down the phone and took out the few papers left at home.

He was writing a letter, but it was not titled or signed.

In the middle of the letter was a lonely sentence written here.

"Last time, I invited you to the cinema, but you said that you like concerts, and this time I have the opportunity, I invite you to listen to the concert I conduct."

Where to send it, Hu Qingniu thought about it, had no clue, and directly wrote such an address.

No. 11, Steep Water Street, Jianghan City, China, Attn: Hu Qingniu.

This is the address where Hu Qingniu lived in his previous life, and Hu Qingniu didn't want the letter to be returned soon after it was sent, so he deliberately wrote a Chinese address so that he could see the letter again after the finals.

Since international letters need to be confirmed at the post office in person, Hu Qingniu was not afraid of trouble and went to the post office before the Wizards' training began.

Jordan made another comeback last year and came to Washington for one of his most embarrassing seasons, with a huge burden due to his poor knees and the talent of his teammates around him, and he had little chance of winning.

Jordan spent most of his time as a mentor to the younger players. He also brought in his old friend and former coach in Chicago, Doug Collins.

But then it turned out that Jordan did try to be a coach on the court on many nights, coaching young players to run tactics.

As usual, Jordan still has a desire for a ring, and his degradation has forced Washington to accept a scorer who is inefficient every game.

Perhaps the biggest problem he faced was how to re-establish his dominance of the game with such a battle-hardened body.

Then all the faith and the glory of the past drove the former king to the familiar battlefield again and again.

His legend and competitiveness have been holding the team back to a certain extent. Jordan spent a lot of money to get his hands on Washington's team, but ended up falling out with Washington's owner, Abel Pauline.

This is almost the most embarrassed Jordan, without a little glory as a basketball god, in this case, he met Hu Qingniu, which seems to have opened a new chapter for him.

Now, with a strong team standing at the top of history, he is back in front of his familiar battlefield. This time, he was guided by Phil, who had changed from a white-bearded Phil to a yellow-skinned and black-haired Hu Qingniu.

Jordan should be grateful to Hu Qingniu, who brought all this glory, and it is for this reason that he invited Hu Qingniu to blow the wind outside the arena.

"Congratulations, you're back where you rightfully belong." Hu Qingniu leaned on the railing and sincerely blessed him.

Jordan waved his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"I never wanted to come back to this stage after last season. Really thank you so much, this is the opportunity you bring. So it's not up to you to congratulate me, and being in the finals means that my career is counting down. ”

Hu Qingniu laughed: "Then you prefer that there are four games left in your career, or seven." ”

Jordan was speechless, as if he really thought about it for a while before saying: "It seems to depend on the coach, if you make a mistake in your strategy, it is possible that we will be swept 4:0." ”

......

Los Angeles, Buckley West Coast mansion.

This is the property that Barkley bought with most of his career savings, and the rest of his salary is of course blocked.

If it weren't for Buckley's wife and daughter, the house probably wouldn't have been kept.

Barkley was coaxing her little daughter at home.

"Sweetheart, how about going to Washington with Dad tomorrow?"

Little Lori arrogantly refused.

"I don't do stupid things, Jerry said you don't have a championship, so I won't go to the scene to embarrass me."

"Jerry?" Barkley said agitatedly, "Whose little boy is that?" ”

"I'm not as stupid as you are to tell you! Briefly! ”

Little Lori ran away mischievously, leaving her helpless father Buckley.

......

New York, inside a bar on the East Coast.

Two giants over two meters tall and weighing more than 250 pounds sat opposite each other.

They are Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley, who were teammates with the New York Knicks for 10 years and now play for the Wizards.

Today, they came to New York to catch up, and they all chose to be in a bar not far from the Madison Garden Arena, the home of the Knicks.

Such an atmosphere speaks for itself.

"Old, we're all old! But I didn't expect that now I have the opportunity to compete for the championship! Oakley took a sip of the Irish liquor, which is now prevalent in New York as a country of European immigrants. Maybe it will give them a taste of home.

"Oh, hehe! This time I think we're closer to the championship, even closer than we were in '94! Olajuwon and Team Rockets eating shit...... Eat a big bubble ......"

Ewing was already a little dizzy from drinking, and what he usually hid in his stomach, what he should say and what he shouldn't say, poured out in one go.

......

Trenton, New Jersey.

It's been a long time since Rodman has visited his mother, Shirley, and his two sisters, Debra and Kim.

Over the years, he has been running around fooling around with others, and after listening to Jordan's advice to join the Wizards, he has been dragging it out because he is busy with training for the game, and Shirley has not seen him in the past few years.

Rodman was born into a poor family, and his father, Philand Rodman, served in the Vietnam War and was an Air Force pilot. When Rodman was 3 years old, his father abandoned the family and in the days that followed, he had 27 children with four different women

This made Rodman very dependent on his mother, Shirley, and it was at his mother's advice that led to Rodman's admission to the University of Oklahoma.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had seen him, and Rodman felt that he was a little rusty with his mother and two younger sisters.

Seeing that his mother and sister were still living in poverty, Rodman hurried away after dropping the phrase "Come and see my game".

The moment she turned her head and went out, her mother, Shirley, clearly saw the tears hanging from the corners of her son's eyes.
