6/11/97, Finals G6 match day.

At noon, Barkley and Olajuwon arrived in Chicago.

"David, contact the bulls, they should still have the first row ticket in their hands."

As soon as Barkley left the airport, he contacted David Falke and asked him to help ask the Bulls management for a ticket. He feels that he joins the Bulls with a base salary, and a free front-row ticket should be no problem.

"Dan, it's better to be on the front row, I don't want to sit in the back."

Olajuwon did the same, asking agent Dan Fagan to ask Bulls management for a ticket.

Tickets for the finals are expensive, tickets with good locations are even more difficult to buy, they are difficult to buy outside, and the management generally reserves some tickets.

After a while, before they arrived at the hotel, the two received a reply from their respective agents.

"Charles, I'm sorry, the Bulls management said that there are no more first-row tickets, and the few reserved tickets were all bought by a few Hollywood superstars." David Falke said.

"Who?" Barkley said with some unhappiness.

"Stallone, Arnold, Tom Cruise." David Falke said.

"Damn, they're the ones who support Iron Fist, are the Bulls management in their brains broken? So what are the rows of my ticket? Barkley scolded.

"Now the best position is only left in the second row, and the other tickets are all five, six, seven and eight rows." David Falke said.

"What? Do they still want me to join the Bulls? Barkley was furious.

"But Charles, your second row is free." David Falck comforted.

"him for free, I don't have the money to buy it? Bull doesn't look down on me? Barkley scolded.

David Falke comforted again: "Okay, Charles, the game is too hot, and the Bulls management can't help it, they can't keep the tickets in their hands at all, and there are too many people looking for them to get tickets."

Many of the top 50 superstars have to pay for their own tickets, and few can buy better tickets than your spot. ”

Olajuwon, on his part, only whispered a few words and hung up the phone.

"Hakim, how many rows are you?" Buckley asked after hanging up the phone.

"Uh, Charles......"

Da Meng said a little embarrassed: "Dan Feigen started early, and he contacted the Bulls management the day before yesterday and got a first-row ticket. But it's too expensive, it costs tens of thousands of dollars. ”

He didn't dare to say that this first-row ticket was specially left for him by the bull, and it was free.

"What?"

Barkley is stunned, I'll sit in the second row, you sit in the first row, can we still be brothers?

At half past five, Zhou Quan was at a restaurant in the United Center gymnasium and invited Chen Long, who had just arrived in Chicago, to dinner.

"Brother Chen, this is the ticket." Zhou Quan gave the ticket to Chen Long first.

"Thanks!"

Chen Long smiled and took the ticket and looked at it, it was actually the first row of tickets? He said in surprise: "Iron Fist, this is not your home field, how did you get it?" ”

As far as he knew, tickets for this game were very difficult to obtain, and the first-row tickets had already flown into the sky from scalpers, and the price of $150,000 was not available.

"I asked the Bulls management for it, although it is the home court of the Bulls, I still have this face." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"You can do it."

Long Chen smiled and gave Zhou Quan a thumbs up.

"Brother Chen, a red fan zone has given you a firm foothold in Hollywood, and if this movie is made and is a big hit, it should be able to make you enter the front line, right?" Zhou Quan said.

Chen Long nodded and said with emotion: "In the past, I wanted to break my head and want to get into Hollywood, but my head was broken, and I failed again and again, no one paid attention to you, and I didn't have the right to speak before I succeeded."

Later, a red fan area succeeded, whatever I said was what it was, and everyone held you, so I understood that if you don't succeed, you are nothing. ”

Zhou Quan smiled: "I can be regarded as a success, not the same as being targeted by the American media?" ”

"You're different from me, I think you're too successful and you've suppressed all the stars in the United States, that's why the media is targeting you." Chen Long said.

"Your main focus in Hollywood is action movies, which is not competitive with those American stars, even compared to Stallone's action superstars, the style is completely different, I have a lot of Hollywood stars, and I have talked to them about you, and they are very tolerant of you." Zhou Quan said.

"If I make the same type of film with them, and there is competition between them, I'm afraid it won't be the same attitude. This time I have a 21-story jumping scene, who can shoot in Hollywood? No, so they don't have to be afraid of me, because I'm making movies that they don't dare to make. Long Chen said with some pride.

Zhou Quan nodded, and Chen Long said with emotion: "So I still think I'm right, we Chinese people still have to develop in China." ”

Zhou Quan nodded, and said helplessly: "I am different from you, professional sports in China are far from the level of the United States, and there is no environment for me to realize my ambitions in China." ”

Speaking of this, he remembered what Chen Long said just now, and said in surprise: "How many layers?" The one who jumped off the building? ”

"21st floor." Long Chen said with a grin.

"What's the jump?" Zhou Quan hurriedly asked

Chen Long leaned up with his left hand and said: "The place has been chosen, a building in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, it has an inclined plane, jumping down from the top floor." ”

Zhou Quan imagined it for a while, and felt that his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Chen, won't you be afraid?" ”

Chen Long sighed: "Why are you not afraid, but if you don't shoot, you won't be famous." ”

"There's security, right?" Zhou Quan asked.

"There must be a safety rope and an air cushion underneath." Chen Long said.

Zhou Quan imagined it compared to his own hands, shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to tie a safety rope to your body." ”

"Why?" Chen Long was stunned and hurriedly asked.

Zhou Quan explained: "You see, if you jump down from it, the speed will definitely get faster and faster, you can't control it at all, there is no way to always ensure balance, what if you are strangled by the safety rope by the neck?" ”

“……”

Chen Long was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Don't you say it, we really haven't thought about this problem, and it is really possible to be in danger when we don't do it well when we test the shot, Iron Fist, thank you." Wait, wait, I'll contact Director Chen first......"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed his mobile phone and began to contact Chen Musheng in South Africa.

……

"I'm sorry, Iron Fist."

"It's fine."

Chen Long and Chen Musheng discussed for seven or eight minutes before hanging up the phone, and the two continued to eat and chat.

Chen Long is very talkative, and he is nearly 20 years older than Zhou Quan, and his personal experience is very rich, and he talks about filming most of the time.

After dinner, after a cup of coffee, it was already half past six, and the game started at eight o'clock, at this time the fans began to enter, Zhou Quan took Chen Long to the stadium, introduced him to a group of Hollywood stars, and then left.

At 7:20, the stadium was already full, and at this time, David Stern appeared with the championship trophy, accompanied by Bulls owner Reinsdorf and supersonic owner Ballmer.

Tonight's three referees, two black and one white, were also handpicked by David Stern, who no longer trusts the chairman of the referees' committee, Lillo Dix.

A high-level league leader like Dicks is very old and powerful, and if it weren't for the recent incidents, he would definitely not be able to meddle in the referee committee so strongly. Even now, Dicks was very unhappy with him.

At half past seven, the two sides announced their starting lists, and the substitutes began to warm up.

SuperSonics: Kristen Leitner, Rodman, Schramf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

Bulls: Mutombo, Tony Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper

With more than 50 million viewers in the last game, the competition has too much influence, attracting a lot of Hollywood stars and models, and first-line superstars can be seen everywhere.

Zhou Quan's group of Hollywood friends also showed their talents, and several bought first-row tickets from the bulls, but many more had to sit in the back.

"Look, boss, there are so many stars." In the visiting locker room, Hawkins excitedly pointed to the TV on the wall and shouted.

"Okay."

But Zhou Quan feels that this is not enough, and the NBA Finals are still not influential enough.

The boxing match where he won the World Champion title before, as well as the title defense with Holyfield, had a lot more influence than that, and there are many rich people around the world who drive private jets to the casinos to watch boxing matches, and now few of these big rich people appear in the United Center, only some local rich people.

In addition to the stars, there are hundreds of current and retired NBA stars in the United Center arena, and more than twenty or thirty of the fifty superstars alone have come.

Chamberlain, Russell, Larry Bird, Elvin Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Wharton, Dr. J. Irving, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Barkley, Olajuwon, Ewing, O'Neal, David Robinson, and many more.

Like this kind of finals, there are no free tickets, these fifty superstars also have to buy their own tickets to enter, the bulls reserve tickets for them at most, arrange a better position, there is no discount, those who have money buy tickets for the first row, and those who don't have money sit in the back.

In fact, it was Larry Bird and Magic Johnson who bought the first row tickets, and the two of them had the influence to let the Bulls management prepare the first row tickets for them, and they had the money to buy the first row tickets.

Except for the two of them, only Da Meng sat in the front row, and in order to get him, the bull could be regarded as having paid enough money and given enough face.

The other 50 superstars sat in the back, including Chamberlain in the second row.

Rookies like Kobe and Iverson and ordinary All-Stars in some leagues can only sit in rows five, six, seven or eight, which is very inconspicuous.

Barkley sat in the second row, just behind Big Dream, and whispered to Big Dream in a somewhat depressed mood: "Hakim, David Falck said that the situation of the Bulls is more complicated now, and my matter has not been finalized. ”

"Brother, be patient and wait."

After a word of comfort, Da Meng turned his head to look at Barkley sympathetically, brother, now that they have taken a fancy to me, you can go coolly.

O'Neill and Carl Malone are both sitting in the fourth row, and their status is only this treatment tonight, and the front position can't be bought.

O'Neill deliberately shifted his position next to the postman and asked tentatively, "Carl, you don't have any other ideas, do you?" ”

"The problem of management has nothing to do with me." The postman shook his head knowingly.

"Do you know what they want?" O'Neill asked mysteriously.

"I don't know." The postman said with some irritation.

"Are you really going to join forces?"

The sneaky appearance of the two attracted the attention of the others, and the big dream and Buckley sitting in front of them were, Buckley asked back.

"Of course not, the postman and I are discussing the finals." O'Neill hastened to deny it.

"It's not weird." Barkley snorted.

"Fliggy, what's the matter with you?" O'Neill said angrily.

"Don't you two prime superstars feel hot when they hug each other?" Barkley sarcastically.

"You're the ancestor of the huddle." O'Neill sneered.

"Nonsense, I'm long out of the top." Barkley said angrily.

The Assassin, who was sitting in the second row, also heard this, raised his left hand, on which the three championship rings were dangling, and said to Joe Dumas with a grin:

"Eh, Joe, are you saying it's that hard to win a championship? Think about how hard it was to snatch the championship from Larry Bird and Elvin Johnson back then, and we didn't feel how difficult it was!

You see, this is the ring you get after killing the big bird, and this is the ring you get after killing the magician. Hey, I forgot who got the ring to kill whom? ”

"The Suns."

Jo Dumas reminded with a smile.

The assassin said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, you didn't remind me to forget, it turns out that this is the ring I grabbed after killing Barkley." ”

The front and back are full of active or retired stars of the league, and more than twenty or thirty fifty superstars are also in this area, and they all looked over at this time.

"It's so pitiful, I haven't grabbed a championship for so many years." Kobe Bryant's face was full of pity.

"Is it so hard to win a championship?" Iverson said with a look of disbelief.

"It shouldn't be difficult, right?" Bryant Road.

"Giggle......

Barkley was angry, ashamed, and angry, his fists were bleeding, and his teeth were about to crumble, and he wanted to pounce on him and kill the assassin.

Big Bird and the magician, who were sitting in the front row, were also upset when they heard the Assassin's words. They did not have a good relationship with the Assassins, and in 92 they rejected the Assassins from joining the Dream Team.

Then the big bird turned to the assassin and said, "Isaiah, without the Iron Fist, you only have two. ”

The magician stretched out his right hand and scratched his head, but did not speak, but the five championship rings on his hand blinded many people's eyes.

Before the Assassin could speak, Barkley was stimulated by the Magician's five rings.

The Assassin knew that he could not match the big bird, so he continued to say to Barkley: "If I am willing to hold the thigh of the Iron Fist, it will be five rings now, and it will be the sixth soon." ”

Jo Dumas sighed: "I didn't expect that guy Dennis to have a chance to win the sixth championship, I envy him so much." ”

"Yes." The assassin nodded.

"Cluck...... Barkley's teeth gritted louder.

Hearing the Assassin's words, the big bird stopped talking, and the magician lowered his right hand that was scratching his head, knowing full well that he could not match the Iron Fist.

The Iron Fisters have only been in the league for six seasons, and once they win this championship, it will be their fourth championship, along with a three-game winning streak that they haven't completed either.

Four crowns in six years and a dynasty, this achievement is achieved in six years, and even if they retire immediately, they will surpass them in the history of the league.
