Chapter 4 Chicago Bulls
"It seems that today is really my lucky day."
It's now the end of September, and Gu Fei, who is worried about not finding a chance to join the NBA, is now in a mood that can be imagined.
Although he was excited, Gu Fei still maintained a certain vigilance, "Oh, hello! Is there anything wrong with you? β
It's no wonder that Gu Fei is so careful, when he was looking for a job in the past, he was deceived a lot, and some people even saw that Gu Fei was tall and handsome, and even wanted to trick him into making an A-movie, so now he suddenly encountered this kind of good thing, and he should be vigilant.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions, I just see that you shoot well and your height is also suitable for basketball, so I want to see if you want to go to the NBA."
"Can you get me to the NBA?" Gu Fei looked at him with some suspicion.
"Oh, I've already said I'm a scout for the Bulls, it's my job to find people with potential, I can only let you try it, it's up to you to play or not." Austin said with some excitement that he might have seen Gu Fei not believe in himself.
"So what do I need to do now?"
"You don't need to do anything, just give me your phone number and wait at home for a notification, and you will have a response in about a week."
Gu Fei left his mobile phone number for Austin, and the two chatted indifferently and then separated.
Austin as a scout for the Bulls is looking for young people with the potential to play in the NBA every day, so he is rarely in Chicago, and this time he came back to have some things to do at home.
After separating from Gu Fei, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, and after a while, the voice on the other end of the phone rang.
"Dear Austin, is your family business finished? How can you call me when you are available? β
"Hahaha," Austin laughed twice and continued, "Almost, I'm calling you today to talk about work." β
"Work. Did you discover any young genius? The voice on the other side sounded a little excited.
"I don't know if it's a genius, but I'm sure he's going to be at least a great three-pointer, and that's a magical Chinese kid, and he's very accurate."
"Chinese? Can he do it? The other end of the line was visibly suspicious of Austin's words.
"Please trust me, my general manager, he will help us, at least we should give him a chance, shouldn't we?"
"Okay, you can tell him to come to the tryout then."
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
At this time, Gu Fei had returned home, and he didn't know that Austin, who had been separated from him for a short time, had already won him the opportunity to try out with the Bulls.
Opening his old computer, Gu Fei searched for information about the Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls, founded in 1946 and joined the NBA in 1966-67, are a professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and part of the Central Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Men's Basketball League (NBA).
The Bulls, who joined the NBA in 1966, gradually improved after a difficult period of adaptation. Since 1971, the Bulls have won more than 50 regular season games for four consecutive years, sounding the clarion call for offense. In 1974 and 1975, the Bulls reached the division finals twice with their tenacious defense.
The 1983-84 Bulls, who had a poor schedule, were rewarded with the third pick in the 1984 draft. The Bulls selected College Player of the Year with Michael Jordan from the University of North Carolina.
Michael Jordan entered the Bulls' starting lineup as soon as he joined the team and began to rewrite the Bulls' record, improving the team's record to 38-44. β
In the 1990-91 season, the Bulls tasted three straight losses at the beginning of the season. In the games since, the Bulls have not lost more than two games in a row. Finally, in the 1991 NBA Finals, the Bulls defeated the Lakers with a total score of 4-1 and locked up the first NBA championship in the team's 25-year history. This season, Jordan was selected as the league's regular season MVP for the second time, won the league's scoring title for the fifth time in a row, scored more than 15,000 points in his career, and was selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team and the NBA All-Defensive First Team; Jordan was also selected as the MVP of the NBA Finals.
Since then, the Bulls have won a wave of three consecutive championships under Jordan's leadership, establishing the Bulls dynasty.
But before the 1993-94 Bulls training camp began, Michael Jordan made the breaking news: retiring from the NBA. Jordan was only thirty years old at the time.
In the 1993-94 season, the Bulls proved that life could go on without Michael Jordan. Although the Bulls failed to claim a fourth consecutive championship, the team still went 55-27 (second behind the Hawks in the Central Division) and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, but the New York Knickstone GuΓ² eliminated the Bulls for the first time in four straight playoff matchups in seven games.
For the 1994-95 season, the Chicago Bulls moved into a new home arena, the Union Center. This season, Jordan, who was trying to play in Major League Baseball, finally realized that he missed basketball. So in the middle of the season, Jordan announced his comeback and returned to the Bulls.
The 1994-95 season ended the season with the Bulls going 47-35, finishing third in the division behind the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets, but only five games behind the division winners. The Bulls comfortably defeated the Hornets in the first round of the playoffs and sent a shot at the team's fourth championship. Despite Jordan on the roster, the Bulls still can't overcome their own glaring roster hole: a lack of suitable interior players. In the divisional semifinals, the Bulls were beaten by the Magic in six games.
In the 1995-96 season, the Bulls made it to the playoffs. In the playoffs, the Bulls were invincible against the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, and Orlando Magic, losing just one game. In the NBA Finals, the Bulls defeated the SuperSonics in six games to win the NBA championship that year, ending the playoffs with 15 wins and 3 losses. The Bulls have a season with an overall record of 87-13, the best record in NBA history.
Under the leadership of Jordan, who is fully back to the top, the Bulls have won three consecutive championships.
In 1998, the successful Jordan retired bravely and bid farewell to basketball for the second time. Former ministers such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Luke Longley, and Tony Kukoc have all left the Bulls, and the Bulls dynasty has begun to decline, and the NBA has entered the post-Bulls era. After 1998, the Bulls embarked on a massive rebuild, welcoming first-round picks Elton Brand, Jalen Rose, Jay Williams and Danny Marshall. But Elton Brand is the only one of these players who has become a star and has moved to other teams, while the others have become nobodies. However, with the development of young players such as Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich, and the addition of Ben Wallace, the Bulls reinvigorated in 2005. β
Although Gu Fei also liked basketball and Jordan in the past, he really didn't know much about the history of the Bulls.
After reading this, Gu Fei has a general understanding of the history and previous glory of the bull
"It seems that you have to work hard, and it is untenable to be too mediocre in such a team with a glorious tradition!" Gu Fei secretly made up his mind.
But Gu Fei is also full of confidence in himself, who let him have such a perverted cheating magic.
Opening the "God of Basketball" system again, Gu Fei looked at his number jΓΉ, and was still very satisfied with his training results in the past two months, although it was not very good in the current NBA.

Now Gu Fei can also play a more stable bench in the NBA, especially because he has an excellent three-point hand, which will be an important basis for his early foothold.
Next, he opened the mall system, and now Gu Fei, who has 453 honors, is ready to buy the skill that he has been optimistic about for a long time, which is also all the honor points he has obtained in two months of training, and this skill will be the biggest supplement to Gu Fei's current strength.
He's ready for the challenges ahead.
