Chapter 165: Battle Bull
I have to be, Han Yinzhi's influence in the Chinese basketball world is really terrifying, after he left his home to go to the Sports Bureau for a walk, Li Kaiming, who was originally prepared by the Huaguo Sports Bureau with great fanfare, will not be able to do it for the time being after Han Yinzhitong operates......
In addition, Han Yinzhi also mobilized his connections in the field of basketball media and began to blow the wind to fans across the country.
"To plan foreign players is to isolate themselves from the Chinese people!"
With such a big hat buttoned down, even if the current officials want to improve the performance of the national team, they have to weigh again and again, whether their necks are hard enough to afford to wear this high hat......
The vigorous planning action died down under the entanglement of Han Yinzhi and others, and has never been mentioned since.
……
What happened in Huaguo, in addition to the later propaganda effect is still fermenting, most of the news circulation is still at the upper level, and some fans at the bottom originally disapproved of planning Li Kaiming, so Han Yinzhi's activities have not caused a wide range of discussions, and naturally it will not be spread to Amerika.
At this time, Emerica time also came to the Saturday of the curtain land, that is, October 9th.
After a night of repairs in Cleveland, the Wizards chartered a flight to Chicago, a large city east of the Emelica, in the early hours of the second morning.
It was their third game of pre-season and their third consecutive away game, and it was back-to-back.
Originally, the back-to-back games were supposed to be on the road the night after the game, but due to the sudden change in Cleveland's gas after the game, the airport informed the team that the team was too bad to have flight take-off and landing conditions, so the Wizards had to stay in Cleveland for another night.
After coming to Chicago, the Wizards will face the Bulls led by Derrick Rose, the home court of the basketball gods.
As soon as the game with the Cavaliers ended, Li Kaiming received a text message greeting from his old senior, Rose.
"Lee, Ming is your first fight with me in the NBA, senior, I will take good care of you!"
Li Kaiming is not a fool, he can naturally read what Ross means by taking care, and after seeing the content of the text message, his eyes also burned with fierce fighting intent!
If you want to fight, then fight!
Originally, Li Kaiming would not show mercy to his subordinates because he was a senior on the other side, but now that he saw Rose's battle book, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would invite his good senior to eat a few hot pots during the evening game!
It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the Wizards took the team bus prepared by the league and traveled from their home to the Chicago Bulls' home Union Center.
Before the car arrived at the stadium, Li Kaiming had already seen the behemoth not far away through the car window.
Although there are other decorations on the arena, the main body still presents the shape of a cylinder, with a round arched roof on top, which is a very classic stadium shape.
As the car passed through the east gate of the United Center, Arenas, who was next to Li Kaiming, suddenly poked him with his elbow, and then pointed to a black statue at the entrance of the arena.
"Lee, look, that's the statue that the Bulls built for Michael Jordan!"
When he said this, Arenas had envy in his eyes and tone.
Li Kaiming looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a huge black statue surrounded by a hexagonal railing in the open space in front of the entrance of the stadium.
The statue has a rectangular base, covered with black marble tiles, and on the side facing them, Jordan's name is written, along with two lines of numbers 1984-1993 and 1995-1998.
Those familiar with the NBA know that this is a sign of Jordan's two careers with the Bulls.
In fact, if you look closely, the surface of the statue still has the luster of copper, which should be the color of copper, but the color is too dark to look like black from a distance.
Jordan in the statue is in a pose that everyone is very familiar with, he is wearing a No. 23 jersey, his legs are spread, and he holds the ball in his right hand to make a one-handed splitting motion!
That's right, it's the Airjordan logo!
The emergence of Jordan put both the NBA and Naike on a glorious path, and he broke the previous iron law of the NBA winning the championship with the inside line as the core of the team, and walked out of a different path.
Today, AJ has also become the most appealing golden sign of Naike, which can bring hundreds of millions of Daole income to Naike every year!
Yes, as a player, every achievement of Jordan is a goal that players pursue throughout their lives.
Of course, the All-Star Three-Point Contest record doesn't count.
So Arenas is understandably envious of Jordan.
Li Kaiming only glanced at the statue, then turned his head away and stopped looking.
He Jordan is a new dollar, and he has a Mao relationship with me Li Kaiming!
Moreover, today's Li Kaiming also has the confidence to let a certain team set up a statue for himself in the future!
What Jordan can do, I Li Kaiming can also do, and what Jordan can't do, I can do too!
Li Kaiming closed his eyes, leaving only Arenas next to him, still staring at the statue that was gradually moving away......
Before the game started, it was still the traditional pre-game press conference, but Li Kaiming still participated in it and then answered a few questions.
It's not good not to participate in the press conference all the time, it will leave the impression that the reporter is playing a big name, and some people are not allowed to go back to make up his black material!
The pre-game interview was just a few sentences, and Li Kaiming could already think of what those reporters would ask, nothing more than how he would face the Bulls' defense and how he would view his first matchup with Rose......
Therefore, he is also familiar with dealing with it, and he already seems to have a kind of news speaking momentum.
At half past seven in the afternoon, after a warm-up session, most of the fans at the scene were already in place.
Chicago's enthusiasm for basketball is still relatively high, after all, it is a team that has produced basketball gods, and the people here have maintained their love for basketball.
The United Center can accommodate many people when a basketball game is held, and it is basically more than 60% sitting tonight!
During training, Rose also took the initiative to come over to talk to Li Kaiming, and Li Kaiming also respected this old senior, after all, before the draft, Rose did not guide him less.
At the end of the warm-up session, on the big screen in the stadium, the starting lineups of both sides were ready.
Chicago Bulls, point guard Derrick Rose, point guard Gisbergeth, forward Rohr Deng, power forward Tygibson, center Joakim Noah.
Washington Wizards, point guard Gilbert Arenas, point guard Nick Young, forward Alsolton, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blach.
The Bulls made a big trade in the offseason, trading Carlos Boozer and Ronnie Brewer from the Jazz.
These two players are not first-line stars at all, but they are not weaker than first-line stars in China.
Especially Boozer, the inside combination formed by him and Oku has made the Rockets led by Yao Ming useless for several years in a row, and some people even gave Boozer a nickname Yao Ming Buzzard.
If you want to ask which player Chinese fans hate the most, then Boozer is second, and no one dares to call it first.
Of course, Boozer and Brewer were unable to play in this game, Boozer had surgery in the offseason and is still in the recuperation stage, otherwise with his average of 19 points, 11 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game last season, how could he give a rookie Gibson who has only played for a year to play as a substitute?
So after learning that Boozer would not play, some Chinese fans also lost interest in this game.
They originally wanted to see how Li Kaiming would behave against Boozer, but they didn't expect that the two of them would not meet at all.
