God of NBA point guards

Chapter 477 Iverson: Is it so difficult to win a championship?
June 97, 6, the day of the G11 finals.

At noon, Barkley and Olajuwon arrived in Chicago.

"David, contact the Bulls. They should still have the first row tickets."

After Barkley left the airport, he contacted David Falk and asked him to help get tickets from the Bulls management.He felt that joining the Bulls with a minimum salary and a free front-row ticket should be no problem.

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

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

Tickets for the finals are very expensive, and tickets for good locations are harder to buy. They are difficult to buy outside, and the management usually reserves some tickets.

After a while, before they arrived at the hotel, they each received a reply from their agent.

"Charles, I'm sorry, the Bulls management said there are no front row tickets. The few reserved tickets were all bought by several Hollywood superstars." David Falk said.

"Who?" Buckley said somewhat unhappily.

"Stallone, Arnold, Tom Cruise and a few others." David Falk said.

"Damn, they are people who support the Iron Fist. Is the Bulls management's brain broken? Then how many rows are my votes?" Barkley cursed.

"Now the best seats are only in the second row, and the other tickets are for rows [-], [-], [-] and [-]," said David Falk.

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

"But Charles, your second row is free," David Falk reassured.

"Damn it, it's free. Do I have no money to buy it? Do the Bulls look down on me?" Barkley cursed.

David Falk comforted him again: "Okay, Charles, the game is too hot, and the Bulls management can't do anything about it. They can't keep the tickets in their hands, and there are too many people looking for them to get tickets.

Many top [-] stars also have to pay for their own tickets, and few can buy tickets in a better position than yours. "

Olajuwon only whispered a few words and hung up the phone.

"Hakeem, what row are you in?" Buckley asked after hanging up the phone.

"Uh, Charles..."

Dameng said with a bit of embarrassment: "Dan Fagan started early. He contacted the Bulls management the day before yesterday and got a first-row ticket. But it was too expensive, costing 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 of charge.

"what?"

Buckley was stunned. I sit in the second row and you sit in the front row. Can we still be brothers?

At 05:30, Zhou Quan treated Chen Long, who had just arrived to Chicago, to dinner at a restaurant in the United Center.

"Brother Chen, here 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 a front row ticket?He was very surprised and said: "Iron Fist, this is not your home court, how did you get it?"

As far as he knew, it was very difficult to get tickets for this game. Front-row tickets were already selling for $15 from scalpers.

"I asked the Bulls management to ask for it. Even though it's the Bulls' home court, I still have some face." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"You can."

Chen Long smiled and gave Zhou Quan a thumbs up.

"Brother Chen, a popular movie helped you gain a foothold in Hollywood. Once the movie is finished and it sells well, it should be able to get you into the front line, right?" Zhou Quan said.

Chen Long nodded and said with emotion: "I used to break my head trying to get into Hollywood, but I broke my head and failed again and again. No one cared about you. Before I succeeded, I had no right to speak.

Later, a popular TV series became successful, and everything I said was what it was. Everyone supported you, so I understood clearly that if you don’t succeed, you are nothing. "

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "I am considered successful. I am not targeted by the American media?"

"You are different from me. I think you are too successful and have suppressed all the American stars, so the media is targeting you." Chen Long said.

"You mainly focus on action movies in Hollywood. This is not competitive with American stars. Even compared with action superstars like Stallone, your style is completely different. I have many Hollywood stars and I have talked to them about you. They are very interested in you." Your attitude is very tolerant." Zhou Quan said.

"If I make the same type of movie as them and there is competition between us, I'm afraid we won't have this attitude. This time I have a 21st floor jumping scene. Who in Hollywood can film it? No, so they don't have to be afraid of me. , because I make movies that they dare not make." Chen Long said with some pride.

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

Zhou Quan nodded and said with some helplessness: "I am different from you. Professional sports in China are far from reaching the level of the United States. There is no environment for me to realize my ambitions in China."

At this point, he remembered what Chen Long said just now and said in surprise: "How many floors? The one who jumped off the building?"

"Floor 21." Chen Long said with a smile.

"How to jump?" Zhou Quan asked hurriedly
Chen Long tilted his left hand and said: "The place has been chosen. A building in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It has an inclined surface. Jump from the top floor."

After Zhou Quan imagined it for a moment, he felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Chen, aren't you afraid?"

Chen Long sighed and said: "Why are you not afraid? But if you don't take pictures, you won't be famous."

"Are there safety measures?" Zhou Quan asked.

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

Zhou Quan compared his hands, imagined for a moment, shook his head and said: "Brother Chen, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to wear a safety rope on your body."

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

Zhou Quan explained: "Look, if you jump from above, your speed will definitely get faster and faster. You can't control it at all. There is no way to always maintain balance. What should you do if your neck is strangled by the safety rope?"

"..."

Chen Long was stunned and said in shock: "If you don't tell us, we really haven't considered this issue. It might be dangerous if we don't do it properly during the test shot. Iron Fist, thank you. Wait a minute, I'll contact you first." Let’s talk about Director Chen…”

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and started to contact Chen Musheng in South Africa.

……

"Sorry, Iron Fist."

"fine."

Chen Long and Chen Musheng discussed it for seven or eight minutes before hanging up the phone. The two continued to chat while eating.

Chen Long is very talkative, and he is nearly 20 years older than Zhou Quan. He has very rich personal experience. Most of the time, he talks about filming matters.After dinner, I drank a cup of coffee. It was already 06:30. The game started at [-] o'clock. Fans began to enter the stadium at this time. Zhou Quan took Chen Long to the stadium and introduced him to a group of Hollywood stars before leaving.

At [-]:[-], the stadium was already full, when David Stern appeared with the championship trophy, accompanied by Bulls owner Reinsdorf and SuperSonics owner Ballmer.

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

A league executive like Dix has very senior qualifications and very powerful power. If it weren't for the recent events that have caused too much trouble, it would definitely not be possible for him to intervene in the referee committee in such a strong way.Even now, Dix is ​​very dissatisfied with him.

At 07:30, both sides announced the starting lineup, and the substitutes began to warm up.

SuperSonics: Christian Laettner, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

Bulls: Mutombo, Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper
The last game had more than 5000 million viewers. The game was so influential that it attracted a lot of Hollywood stars and models. A-list superstars can be seen everywhere.

Zhou Quan's group of Hollywood friends also showed their talents. Several bought front row tickets from Bull, but many more had to sit in the back.

"Look, boss, there are so many stars." Hawkins shouted excitedly in the visiting team's locker room, pointing to the TV on the wall.

"good."

But Zhou Quan felt that it was nothing more than that, and the NBA Finals was still not influential enough.

The boxing match in which he won the world boxing title and the defending match with Holyfield were much more influential than this. There are many rich people from all over the world who fly private planes to casinos to watch the boxing match. Now these big names Not many rich people show up at the United Center, only some local rich people.

In addition to celebrities, hundreds of current and retired NBA stars appeared at the United Center. More than 30 of the top [-] stars came.

Chamberlain, Russell, Larry Bird, Earvin Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Dr. J. Irving, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Barkley, Olajuwon, Ewing, O'Neal , David Robinson and more.

There are no free tickets for finals like this. These top [-] superstars have to buy their own tickets to enter. The Bulls can at most reserve tickets for them and arrange better seats. There are no discounts. Those with money can buy them. Tickets are queued, and those who don’t have money sit in the back.

In fact, it was Larry Bird and Magic Johnson who bought the front-row tickets. They both had the influence to ask the Bulls management to prepare front-row tickets for them, and they also had the money to buy front-row tickets.

Apart from the two of them, only Dameng sat in the front row. In order to get him, the Bulls paid a lot of money and gave him enough face.

The other top [-] superstars were sitting in the back, including Chamberlain, who was sitting in the second row.

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

Barkley sat in the second row, just behind Dameng, and whispered to Dameng in a depressed mood: "Hakeem, David Falk said that the Bulls' current situation is more complicated, and my matter has not been finalized yet. "

"Brother, please wait patiently."

After comforting him, Dameng turned his head and glanced at Barkley sympathetically, "Brother, now that they are interested in me, you can go and cool off."

O'Neal and Karl Malone are both sitting in the fourth row. With their status, they can only get this treatment tonight, and they cannot buy the seats in the front.

O'Neill deliberately moved his position next to the postman and asked tentatively: "Karl, do you have any other ideas?"

"The management issues have 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 a little irritably.

"Are you really going to join forces?"

The sneaky look of the two attracted the attention of others, including Dameng and Buckley sitting in front. Buckley turned around and asked.

"Of course not, the postman and I were discussing the finals." O'Neal quickly denied.

"That's weird." Buckley snorted.

"Flying Pig, what does it have to do with you?" O'Neill said angrily.

"Don't you feel hot hugging two superstars in your prime?" Barkley said sarcastically.

"You are the ancestor of group hugging." O'Neal retorted sarcastically.

"Nonsense, I'm no longer at my peak." Barkley said angrily.

The assassin sitting in the second row also heard it. He raised his left hand with three championship rings on it and said to Joe Dumars with a smile:
"Hey, Joe, do you think it's that difficult to win a championship? Think about the time when we snatched the championship from Larry Bird and Earvin Johnson. How difficult it is to not feel it!
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 by killing him? "

"Suns."

Joe Dumas reminded with a smile.

The assassin looked suddenly enlightened and said, "Oh, it wasn't because you reminded me that I forgot about it. It turns out this is the ring I grabbed after killing Barkley."

There were all active or retired stars from the league in front, back, left and right, and more than 30 top [-] superstars were also in this group, and they all looked over at this time.

"It's so pitiful that I haven't won a championship in so many years." Kobe said with pity on his face.

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

"It shouldn't be difficult, right?" Kobe said.

"Giggle..."

Buckley was angry, furious, ashamed and angry. His fists were bleeding and his teeth were almost broken. He wished he could pounce on the assassin and kill him.

Big Bird and Magician sitting in the front row also felt unhappy when they heard what the assassin said.Their relationship with the assassins is not good. In 92, they even excluded the assassins from joining the dream team.

At this time, Big Bird turned around and said to the assassin: "Isiah, without Iron Fist, you only have two."

The magician stretched out his right hand and scratched his head. He said nothing, but the five championship rings in his hand blinded many people.

Before the assassin could speak, Buckley was stimulated again when he saw the magician's five rings.

The assassin knew that he was no match for Big Bird, so he had no choice but to continue to target Barkley: "If I were willing to hold Iron Fist's thigh, I would still have five rings now, and it would be my sixth ring soon."

Joe Dumars sighed: "I didn't expect that guy Dennis to have a chance to win the sixth championship. I'm so envious of him."

"That's right." The assassin nodded.

"Giggle..." Buckley gritted his teeth louder.

After hearing the assassin's words, Big Bird stopped talking, and the magician also put down his right hand scratching his head. They knew very well that they were no match for Iron Fist.

The King of Iron Fist has only been in the league for six seasons. Once they win this championship, it will be their fourth championship, including a three-peat that they have not yet completed.

Four championships and a dynasty in six years. This achievement was achieved in six years. Even if he retires immediately, his historical status in the league will surpass them.
