Chapter 583: Do You Have Faith in Me Now?
Everyone present knew that what Jordan said about buying vegetables was completely an excuse, and the old hooligan came to find a venue for Huang Shaohong to say that he could defeat him alone a few days ago.
As for the stalk of grocery shopping, it has to start with the last time someone challenged Jordan in front of the media.
That year, the Bulls selected rookie Corey Benjamin with the 28th pick in the first round in '98.
Coincidentally, Jordan, who was the first person in the league that year, chose to retire with success and retired with the Bulls because of the deadlock in labor negotiations and the fact that he had six championships in hand.
And 'Corey Benjamin', who was a diehard fan of Jordan, spoke without going through his brain when he was interviewed by reporters, and he said to reporters in the interview:
"Too bad! Michael retired, and I would have had a chance to beat him one-on-one. ”
In fact, this sentence became a joke when it was reported by the media, and no one would have thought that this two-pole could beat Jordan in a one-on-one bullfight.
Benjamin is actually a young and frivolous unintentional remark, just like the innocent second child who said when I was a child that I would grow up to drink the most expensive wine and sleep with the most beautiful woman.
When he grew up, he found that he could only drink the second pot and hug his daughter-in-law, who was about to weigh 200 pounds, to face the reality.
So Benjamin's words are not cared for by ordinary people, bragging, I also said that I can kill Superman, who believes it?
But Jordan is destined to be not an ordinary person, and the words of a rookie have attracted his extreme attention.
Although the old hooligan has neglected to practice for a long time after retiring, he still chose a sunny day, drove a luxury car, sang songs, and brought the media to the long-lost Bull training ground.
After catching up with his former teammates, Jordan called Benjamin to come out and single-handedly, saying that he would be given a chance to make his wish come true.
When others advised Jordan to warm up first, the old rascal said disdainfully: "Do you still use warm-up with him?" ”
Then the thirty-six-year-old rascal beat the 21-year-old Benjamin with an 11-3 score, which made Brand and Artest, who were watching the bullfight between the two on the sidelines, stunned, and their expressions were full of incredulity!
While teaching how to behave, Jordan also destroyed the first-round rookie's confidence, so much so that Benjamin played less than four seasons in the NBA before retiring hastily.
After the bullfight, after the cause and effect of the incident and the video of the bullfight at that time spread, while the fans were amazed that your uncle was still your uncle, some people jokingly said that the kung fu of helping the master go to the street to buy vegetables took the time to teach the rookie to be a man.
So when Jordan told Huang Shaohong about buying vegetables, everyone knew that there was a good show to watch, and the old rascal was here to teach him how to behave.
As a result, after the bullfight began, the old hooligan was stupid, and Jordan was surprised to find that with his defensive skills, he couldn't prevent Huang Shaohong at all.
In the first ball, he asked Huang Shaohong to kick off, but he didn't even make a feint, he broke through in one step, flew up directly, changed hands under his crotch in the air, and turned 720 degrees to get the first point.
The people around him were stupid, even the person in question, Jordan, was stupid, and the old rascal dared to swear that Huang Shaohong's starting speed just now was faster than that of Maddie and Iverson at his peak, which made him how to prevent it.
The old rascal is an old rascal after all, and he coughed lightly and joked: "Do you want to rely on speed to outperform a 43-year-old fellow?" Get your skills out buddy, or you'll be laughed at by my fans! ”
After speaking, he picked up the basketball and threw it to Huang Shaohong again.
"Well, as you wish!"
Although Huang Shaohong used to play ball, his skills were average, that is, the average level of amateur, but now he can control any muscle in his body, and it is not a problem to make any difficult movements.
Immediately showed off his fancy dribbling in front of the old rascal, and seeing that Jordan was unmoved, he tentatively took a step, and the old rascal immediately pressed up.
Huang Shaohong immediately used an Iverson flower-piercing butterfly step, dribbling the ball like a moth, fluttering left and right, and after the old rascal was stunned, a flowing jump shot hit directly.
He hit the old rascal five balls in one go, and he couldn't make Mike Tyson, who was watching the game from the sidelines, happy.
You must know that he wants to become Huang Shaohong's economic person, don't look at Jordan is 43 years old, but today Huang Shaohong only needs to blow up the old hooligan, and the media on the sidelines will blow things out, and the commercial value of the former will rise gradually.
At that time, Huang Shaohong will definitely be popular all over the United States, and he, the agent, will inevitably follow the profits.
Contrary to Mike Tyson, the mood of the old rascal is not so beautiful.
When he saw the video of Huang Shaohong scoring 150 points, although he was amazed by the young man's performance, he didn't think that the other party could defeat him.
Because he found that Huang Shaohong in the video was basically scoring with his physical talent and shooting accuracy, and the players who defended him were obviously not good.
As the best defensive player in the past, the best defensive player in the NBA in the first place, Jordan felt that he could lock the kid on the defensive end, and his attack would definitely not be able to be neutralized.
As a result, it was five balls bigger as soon as it came up, which made the old rascal lose all his face.
Jordan took the opportunity of defense and whispered to Huang Shaohong: "Boy, don't you know what it means to respect the elder?" So multimedia, you sincerely can't let me get off the stage, right? ”
Huang Shaohong dribbled away from the old rascal's hand to steal the ball, and teased: "You won't tell Benjamin the same way when you win Benjamin, right?" ”
"Lao Tzu was just thirty-six years old, Benjamin is a fart, should I retire that star to come out? You ask Kobe Bryant and Iverson, could they beat me at that time? Don't talk nonsense, we're both from North Carolina, you don't really want to let your brother lose his old days, right? ”
The old rascal has made up his mind to play hooligan.
The two were talking while entangled, and the reporters on the sidelines couldn't hear the conversation between the two, so they thought they were spewing trash talk to each other and didn't care.
Huang Shaohong said in a low voice: "This tie, how about you help me promote what I wrote later?" ”
After reading Huang Shaohong's interview, Jordan naturally knew what the other party said about publishing, and said angrily: "Do you really dare to speak, do you know how much it costs to advertise with me?" ”
"Then you just wait for the evening festival!" Huang Shaohong accelerated the dribble in his hands, moved quickly under his feet, and made the butterfly that wore flowers and did not come.
The old rascals laughed angrily: "Okay, you kid is ruthless, I agreed!" ”
Then the school team members and the media who watched the game on the sidelines saw a sudden change in the situation on the court, and the old hooligan suddenly reached out to steal the ball successfully, and then quickly entered the three-point line, and gently stepped to dunk the ball in the basket with both hands.
Then once the old rascal opened his beard, he was out of control, and he shot four in a row with a step-back jumper, and the two were tied at 5 to 5.
At this time, the old rascal stopped to wipe his sweat and smiled at the surrounding media: "Don't fight, save some face for your junior!" ”
"Phew!" Huang Shaohong secretly sighed in his heart, Zhen Nima is shameless!
A challenge match ended in a draw, after which Jordan and Huang Shaohong accepted a brief interview with the media.
Jordan praised Huang Shaohong, saying that this is his real successor, if someone can surpass him in basketball, he used to think that person was Kobe, but now it is confirmed that it is his younger brother in front of him.
Huang Shaohong also praised Jordan, he said that he originally thought that this old man had softened, but it turned out to be so strong!
Jordan laughed, he liked to be described as 'strong'.
Didn't you see that in order to be strong, when he cut the cigar, he cut the nerve of his right index finger, so that he couldn't turn back after shooting, and he kept upright, so I asked you if you were strong or not!
The old rascal was happy, and remembered what he promised Huang Shaohong, and immediately praised the media camera:
"My junior not only plays basketball well, but also writes well, and I have read the sample book he wrote, which is very attractive to me......"
Jordan said and asked Huang Shaohong on the side, "What's your name?" ”
Others are falling, haven't you read the sample book? Attracted to you without even knowing the name?
Huang Shaohong didn't think about it and said: "It's called "Twilight"! ”
Jordan also felt embarrassed, snorted, and hurriedly saved:
"Yes, it's called "Twilight", it's a good book, I have indeed read the sample book, the covers are very beautiful, and after "Twilight" is released, I also ask my fans and fans to support me as a junior brother!"
After he finished speaking, he asked Huang Shaohong again: "When will it be listed?" ”
Huang Shaohong said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will find the publishing house soon!" ”
“......”
Everyone is convinced, these two goods are worthy of being seniors from a school, and they all speak in the same way, Jordan just finished reading the sample book, and you said that you haven't found a publishing house yet, so look at a woolen sample book? I printed it myself!
Huang Shaohong said this on purpose, hype, how to attract attention, although he said this to put Jordan in, but it must have played a role in hype, no matter whether the effect is good or bad, it is destined to make more people pay attention to the book "Twilight".
After sending away the media, Jordan said that he invited Huang Shaohong and Tyson to dinner in the evening, but before that, he left space for the two to talk and went to say hello to acquaintances in his alma mater.
Huang Shaohong and Coach Chapman talked and sat in the stands of the stadium with Tyson and talked about things.
Tyson first thanked him implicitly:
"Bruce, you called me that day, you should be able to know my current predicament from my words, although I have always refused to admit it in front of the media, but I am really short of money now, thank you for letting me be your agent, you are destined to become a superstar, I will definitely do this job!"
Huang Shaohong smiled and quipped: "I heard that you have planned to make art films, maybe you missed a wonderful encounter because of my invitation!" ”
Tyson smiled wryly: "Bruce, don't make fun of me, you know how brilliant I used to be, and it ended up messing up my bad habits and impulsive temper!" ”
"Now that I have a girlfriend who loves me and deserves to be changed, and a few children to raise, what I need now is stability rather than an affair!"
Huang Shaohong didn't expect Tyson to say such a heartfelt paragraph, and he simply didn't hide his purpose, and said directly:
"Mike, there's one thing I didn't tell you, I didn't think about making money from basketball, I wanted to play boxing so I asked you to be my agent, of course, you can also be my writing agent!"
Tyson immediately black question mark face, boxing? Writing? What the hell is this?
He laughed dryly, "Bruce, your jokes aren't funny at all!" ”
Huang Shaohong shrugged: "It's not funny because I'm not joking at all!" ”
Tyson said anxiously: "Bruce, are you crazy, do you know your commercial value in basketball?" If you want to make money, now I can contact you with Nike and Adidas, I think they will both be interested in you......"
"You can participate in the draft next year, with the strength you show now, you will definitely be the champion, and you will be worth a hundred times at that time!"
Huang Shaohong shook his head: "I need a lot of money, the cycle of making money in basketball is too long, or boxing to make money faster, I heard that Mike, your appearance fee back then was tens of millions of dollars, but what you just said about endorsement, you can consider it!" ”
Tyson groaned for a moment and asked, "It may be presumptuous, but can I ask how much money do you need?" I might be able to help you figure it out first! ”
"Start with a billion US dollars, there is no cap, the more the better!"
Tyson was completely angry, got up and was about to leave: "I feel cheated, boxing makes money quickly, but do you think everyone can be a boxing champion?" ”
Huang Shaohong got up, casually raised his hand and slapped Tyson's big mouth.
He now likes this feeling of slapping other people's faces more and more, it feels good and the mood is better!
"You ......"
'Smack'
Huang Shaohong turned his hand and said with a big mouth, and then smiled: "Come on, can I be a boxing champion, you can try it!" ”
Although Tyson's temper has changed a lot, he is Tyson after all, he was slapped twice, he couldn't suppress his anger, and he exploded.
With the two men in close proximity at the moment, he landed a powerful uppercut.
No matter how old a tiger is, it is still a tiger, Tyson's punch is extremely fast, and lightning generally hits Huang Shaohong's chin, he is confident that one punch can knock this hateful kid to the ground and make him pay enough price.
Huang Shaohong dodged slightly, a strong wind swept through his ears, his face remained unchanged, and he sneered in his mouth: "Is this the ability of the boxing king?" Isn't it good? ”
Tyson's eyes were already red when he punched, and he was even more furious when he heard the words, and a punch that missed the upper step was a set of combination punches.
At that time, Tyson was known as the king of combination boxing, and his moves were described as swift as raindrops.
But Huang Shaohong still dodged easily in the face of Tyson's storm, and at the same time did not forget to mock in his mouth: "It's too slow, Mike, are you old and can't eat anymore, you have no speed, you have no strength!" ”
"Ahh Tyson has gone completely mad like a beast of prey.
'Boom'
Huang Shaohong dodged left and right, and Tyson's fist swept over the backrest of a grandstand seat, directly shattering the hard plastic backrest.
At this time, everyone on the training ground noticed the situation here, and when they saw Tyson and Huang Shaohong making a move, they couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Huang Shaohong laughed and shouted, "Don't worry, I'll have a discussion with Mike!" ”
After he finished speaking, he slammed in: "Mike, it's my turn!" ”
Huang Shaohong directly grabbed the flaw between Tyson's attacks and punched the boxing king in the chin.
Five minutes later, Tyson, who woke up, collapsed in his seat, and the North Carolina team doctor stretched out two fingers and shook vigorously: "What is this?" ”
Seeing that Tyson didn't answer, the team doctor turned his head and said, "Send it to the hospital, it must be a concussion!" ”
Tyson said, "No, Mr. Doctor, I'm a little dazzled by your shaking too fast, can you slow down?" ”
"Oh...... Oh! The team doctor stopped shaking awkwardly, and before he could ask, Tyson immediately said, "Two! ”
Huang Shaohong smiled: "You see it's okay, this will be answered, I said that I know what I move, he will never do anything!" ”
Jordan, who rushed to hear the news, laughed on the side: "Mike, you, the boxing champion, actually let my junior down!" ”
Tyson rubbed his chin and said depressedly: "You haven't been beaten by your junior on the basketball court, don't think I can't see it!" ”
"Uh....." Jordan looked embarrassed and said, "The last time I played Texas Hold'em, should you pay back the 300,000 US dollars you lost to me?" ”
This time it was Tyson's turn to be deflated, and he endured the pain in his jaw and laughed: "I can see clearly, you just brought up the junior, and you deliberately let Bruce during the game!" ”
Huang Shaohong walked up to Tyson and asked, "How is it, Mike, do you have confidence in me now?" ”
Tyson cracked his mouth and laughed: "Happy cooperation, boss!" ”
In the evening, Jordan invited Tyson and Huang Shaohong to dinner, and the latter took his sister and Edmund to eat together. ”
After the sumptuous dinner, Huang Shaohong and Jordan left each other's contact information and helped the host drive back to Charlotte overnight.
The old hooligan is now the small boss of the Bobcats, and his daily hobby is to abuse vegetables and hit his own players.
Tyson stayed and stayed in a hotel on Jiaotan Mountain, and the next day Huang Shaohong took a few days off, and the two flew to New York together.
The two of them took first class, and the money was paid in advance by Tyson, and Huang Shaohong promised to return it to him together after making a fortune.
After arriving in New York, Tyson first led Huang Shaohong to the Sports Commission to fill out the application form, provide a physical examination report, and register as an amateur boxer.
Then the two went to Tyson's personal lawyer and drafted a broker contract, which stipulated that Tyson would get 5% of Huang Shaohong's professional income and 20% of all commercial endorsements.
Huang Shaohong checked the charging standard of the boxing agent and knew that Tyson did not hack himself, and this price was actually very benign, so he immediately signed his name on the contract.
At lunch, Tyson introduced Huang Shaohong to Vaitar, the president of "Bantam Books", and the autobiography of "Never Back" was published in Bantam Company, and they are all old acquaintances.
Huang Shaohong handed over his USB flash drive to 'Vaitar', who watched it on his laptop for a while, and was attracted by the plot of "Twilight" and immediately signed a contract.
When he arrived at the lawyer's office in the afternoon, Tyson immediately entered the role of his agent and argued with "Vaitl", and finally signed the distribution contract of "Twilight" with 15% royalty and Bantam Company paid 300,000 US dollars in advance.
After signing the contract, 'Vaitl' said to Tyson with emotion: "Mike, 15% royalty share is a treatment that only top writers can enjoy, I have to say that you have changed a lot, if you would never have been so shrewd before!" ”
Tyson shook his head with a smile: "When you have tried to owe tens of millions of dollars, you should understand my change!" ”
'Vaitl' shook his head and smiled: "Then I don't want to have this experience in my life!" ”
After receiving a cash check for 300,000 US dollars, Huang Shaohong waited for 'Vaitl' to leave, and then asked Tyson: "Mike, when can you arrange a competition for me, I want to enter the money-making mode as soon as possible!" ”
Tyson said that the 'National Golden Glove Boxing Championship' is about to start recently, and he wants to wait for the tournament to start so that Huang Shaohong can become famous in this event.
Huang Shaohong nodded: "Then do you know where to fight black boxing?" ”
