Chapter 102: [New Season Arrives]
Dating in China is not an easy thing to do.
The streets of any city in China are more densely populated than their American counterparts, and Chinese like to be lively. When such a beautiful foreign female star as Scarlett appears anywhere, she will attract onlookers.
After two not-so-pleasant shopping experiences, Scarlett learns to wear a cap and wide sunglasses to cover up.
Su Xi has become accustomed to dressing like this, and the probability of him being recognized in China is much higher than that of other celebrities.
After the Olympic Games, his billboards can be seen all over the country, from international luxury brands to affordable daily necessities.
There are even more ads on TV.
even almost caused a scandal because of the commercial, and a popular female star in China was rumored to be Su Xi's girlfriend because she cooperated with him in a dairy drink advertisement.
Su Xi was quite embarrassed.
He also wanted to clarify, but was stopped by Huang Xiaoman. Huang Xiaoman said: This female star likes to rub the heat the most, maybe this public opinion was released by their team. You came out to respond, but it gave people the feeling that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
So, Suxi also treated it coldly.
When Scarlett was photographed appearing in China, there were decent breaking articles on the Internet. said that Scarlett flew all the way because she was worried that Suxi would empathize and not love. Because Su Xi thinks XX is more beautiful, sexier, gentler, more considerate and more moving.
"Do you want to sleep with me like that?"
Suxi couldn't help but complain.
But the answer is self-evident.
Su Xi is now Tang monk meat, not to mention immortality after taking a bite, at least his popularity will rise by two or three grades.
Also, you can experience happiness that you can't imagine.
Suhi and Scarlett visited several scenic spots in the country. Then, he went to Hong Kong Island and Bay Island to do two waves of publicity, and received a welcome from thousands of local people. Especially on Bay Island, it is very popular.
Subsequently, I went to South Korea and Japan, both of which were also crowded with people.
In South Korea, there are even people who swear to come up with historical materials to prove that Su Xi is Korean.
Su Xi was quite speechless.
However, the money in South Korea is really easy to make. The money given by the sponsors is very large, and the enthusiasm of the fans to buy the sneakers is very high.
Japan is also very profitable, and everywhere you go, men, women and children are excited to meet rock stars. One by one, they shouted angrily, the Japanese worship the strong, and Su Xi is undoubtedly a super strong man like no other. Isn't it strong enough to beat their dad Americans and can't find the north?
Winning Asia's first men's basketball gold medal in the Olympics is an honor for these people who have lived a good life, shouting long live Asian sports.
Sushi is unique in East Asia.
Mike O'Connor couldn't help but say, "Jack, you're going to come here every year to make a lot of money, and you're making a lot more money than in the United States." ”
Suhi flies direct to Los Angeles.
He's finally getting ready for the new season.
In the past summer, in addition to the embarrassing Olympic bronze medal won by the Dream Six team, and the MVP of the finals led the team to win the Olympic gold medal, there was also a sensational news: Sharks Swim East!
Patraley used the piecemeal approach to trade young talents such as Lamar Odom and Kaloon Butler to Los Angeles for Shaq O'Neal.
Shaq O'Neill excitedly lit a water gun on the streets of Miami, and also wore a special police uniform made for him by the police to show off in the city.
He's a living figure, but the Miami fans are very passionate about him.
He also reciprocated, claiming that he would definitely help Miami win the championship.
The Miami Heat also signed him to a five-year contract worth more than $100 million.
O'Neal was on the rise in Miami, and Kobe Bryant took all the infamy: everyone thought he was the one who squeezed O'Neal out. Everyone thinks he shouldn't have the ambition to challenge O'Neal. Even if he scored 56 points in the finals to break the historical record, he was considered to be the only one who could only be O'Neal's little brother.
This made Kobe very unhappy.
Last year's Finals loss to the Pacers became the fuse for the Lakers to fall apart, with Phil Jackson hanging the championship, Shaq O'Neal traveling east, Karl Malone retiring on his knees, and Gary Payton shooting for him.
Seeing him rise to a tall building.
Seeing that his building had collapsed.
Super F4 is only Kobe Bryant.
Suhi landed in Los Angeles to do two things, the first thing was investment, he invested in a lot of Silicon Valley startups, and he always wanted to meet these young people who were either starting a business in their own garage or quitting from college.
Su Xi's S investment company has become the most important technology and Internet angel investment fund in Silicon Valley, and many young entrepreneurs have benefited from it, and many companies have been on the right track.
Moreover, when these companies are on the right track, they can quickly form a cluster effect, driving each other and increasing the authority of S Investment Company.
Su Xi has a purpose that he only does angel investment, and the subsequent Series A, Series B, and Series C are all followed up by those big investment funds. In this area, Su Xi deeply knows that he does not have an advantage.
But in this way, the return on investment is the largest.
The second thing, of course, is to come and see Jessica.
Both of these things went well.
Bryant was forcibly inserted into the third thing when he learned that Suhee was in California. Not only did he follow Susie to meet the founders of the startups, but he also drove Susie on a date with Jessica, and he stood guard outside for hours at a time.
In order to play ball with Su Xi, he was really suffocated.
"I found out that you really don't have any friends in the NBA." Su Xi couldn't help but complain about him. "But if you have a few good friends, you won't pester me like this."
Bryant didn't answer.
He's just stalking.
Sushi and him are fierce in attack and defense, but...'Super Scoring Technique' really doesn't merge anymore. Already resistant to Kobe.
"I'm going to win the scoring title in the new season!"
Kobe Bryant swore to Suhi.
Suhi said: "I want to be the MVP of the Finals for the second consecutive year. ”
"In the new season, I want to lead the team to the playoffs, and I want to prove that the Lakers are still a strong team in the West without O'Neal." Kobe Bryant clenched his fists and said with great tenacity.
"I'm going to be the MVP of the Finals."
"In the new season, I want to blow up everyone who speaks for O'Neal, including Garnett, Kidd... Martin... Carter ...... "Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, he remembered every star who stood on O'Neal, and his resentment was overwhelming.
"I'm going to be the MVP of the Finals."
Su Xi said lightly.
"I'm going to play a game in the new season..."
Kobe Bryant was halfway through speaking, he looked at Suhi next to him, he had already guessed what Suxi was going to say, this guy is always so annoying.
"I want it too." Sushi replied.
"Aren't you going to be the MVP of the Finals?" Kobe Bryant will carry it.
"Can't I 'both' and 'and' at the same time?" Su Xi asked rhetorically: "You may have a lot of wishes." ”
"You!" Kobe Bryant was angry: "Come on, I'm going to blow you up!" ”
"I'm not going to fight with you, I'm going back to Indiana tomorrow morning, and I'm going to be with Jessica tonight, don't delay me."
"One more game, I'll send you back, my Lamborghini will be fast, and it won't be delayed." Kobe Bryant was a bit of a stalker.
Alas!
Su Xi sighed, there was no way but to satisfy this abrasive little goblin. "Just a handful."
This one lasted for half an hour.
Then, the two didn't even take a shower, and Kobe Bryant drove Susie to Jessica's house.
All the way.
"You'll get two more shots after you're done later?" Bryant said: "I panicked. ”
"Don't fight, I'll do it tonight." Suhi refused, and also suggested Kobe: "Go home in a panic and find Vanessa, she will like you who are hard working and angry." ”
Kobe Bryant didn't look at Bai Suxi angrily: You think everyone is like you, you only think about that kind of thing in your head, you have been single-handedly with Jessica more times than you have singled out with me in the past few days, you can't eat it, young man.
Well?
Suhi felt something weird. Kobe Bryant, are you teaching me?
…
The Pacers' training camp this season took place at the gymnasium at Indiana University, Bird's alma mater.
Suhi arrived in Indiana two days before the start of the camp.
Bird and Rick Carlisle were picked up at the airport together, and they showed unprecedented grandeur.
Send flowers!
Embrace!
Praise!
Dragon!
Bird claimed that he was sincerely proud of Suhi's performance at the Olympics, and he also said that Suhi is the greatest and most handsome player in Indiana history, and that Jordan's achievements at the Olympics are not as good as yours, because he has never led the Chinese team to victory.
Suhee listened to Bird's praise for 10 minutes, and finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Larry, what's the point." ”
"Jack, this is the contract extension we offered, 5 years and 73 million US dollars, the highest contract we can give."
Bird pulled out the contract from his briefcase, which still smelled of ink.
Su Xi frowned, and he said, "Isn't it early?" The season hasn't officially started yet. ”
"It's not early, Jack. The boss has been dancing on the hot pot for two months, and he asked me to keep you. You're the first Finals MVP in Indiana history. Bird said, patting his thigh.
Carlisle next to him frowned, and came again: Can you shoot your own.
Suxi was silent for a while.
It was Bird's most tormented ten seconds.
Then, he heard Sushi say, "Let's talk about it after this season." ”
When Suhi was traded, when Suhi changed the contract, he guessed Suhi's thoughts. Suhi is the kind of player who wants to take control of his own destiny and he doesn't want to be sold around.
"It's good to be the MVP of the Finals, Jack, we all think you can do it." Larry Bird slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
Carlisle twitched in pain, he slowly removed Bird's hand from his leg, and he continued: "Jack, I don't think it's a big problem for you to win the MVP of the Finals this season. Our squad has been polished over the last year and has become even stronger. And, we also signed Stephen Jackson. Our squad just got stronger. ”
"The Lakers in the West have fallen apart."
"It's possible that we can form a dynasty."
Carlisle said: "Three in a row, four in a row, five in a row.... ”
Although Bird slapped him on the thigh, he was still acting as a lobbyist for Bird.
Suhee smiled, and then he continued, "That's right, Rick. We probably won't have the same regular season record this season as we did last season. ”
Well?
Both Bird and Carlisle were surprised.
How can it not be as good as last season? We're stronger. We had 71 wins last season, and this season we have to go straight to the all-time record and try to get a 73-win win that kicks the Bulls and Jordan's ass.
"Why? Are you worried about chemistry with Stephen Jackson? Carlisle asked.
"I want to hone my attacking skills in the new season. I'm still haunted by the defeat to Argentina in the group stage of this year's Olympics, I actually missed two goals in a row at a crucial moment, I can't forgive myself, I have to improve my singles shooting percentage. ”
Suhi said very seriously: "I stayed in Los Angeles this past week, and I communicated with Kobe. Kobe Bryant told me that if you want to improve your skills, you have to shoot wildly, you have to face difficulties, and you have to be brave enough to play iron under high-intensity defense. ”
Belch....
As soon as Su Xi's words came out.
The two looked at each other.
Bird thought to himself: What do you learn from Kobe, he is a team demolition expert, and O'Neal was driven away by him. What can you learn from him?
Carlisle wondered: Why should he be so angry about the defeat in the group stage? Didn't you shoot back in the final? You eliminated Argentina and won the gold medal, how did you lose the gold medal?
"We have a saying in China that sharpens knives and chops wood, and if I increase the hit rate, the overall strength of our team will be stronger. Please support me in this project. If you don't support me, there won't be such a good general manager and such a good head coach in the whole league to support me. ”
Suhi tried to convince them: "After all, you are the best manager, the fastest young coach of all time, you sweep the decay of the academy into the trash, you let those latecomers look up to their backs, you are a living tactical treasure." ”
"And you, my Bole, Mr. Bird. You're the only all-rounder in the history of basketball, you're the absolute ruler when you play, you're a master tactician when you're coaching, you're a manager, and you're strategizing to win a thousand miles. Who knows basketball better than you? ”
Su Xi's words were a little red in both of them.
Bird, in particular, said it so well.
He couldn't help but slap his thigh, and Carlisle's mouth opened in pain.
"Jack, there's nothing to the regular season record. Just make sure you make the playoffs. You're right, first practice your offensive skills, and then in the playoffs, isn't it a big kill? I'm sure by April, May and June next year, no team will want to run into us. ”
Bird put the words here.
What else could Carlisle, who was sobbing in pain, speak: "I will design a new singles tactic for you." ”
"Thank you, it's my greatest luck to meet you."
After chatting about this, everyone was very happy.
After a business van drops Suhi to her home in Indiana.
The two of them sat in the car on the way back, and suddenly felt a little empty.
The assistant in front said, "We don't seem to be convincing Jack, but we are persuaded by Jack..."
Bird clutched the contract, and then remembered his original intention of coming to pick up the plane.
Is this considered a loss for the lady and the soldiers!
