The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 486 486 Hell's five consecutive customers!Recruitment from God!

"Hey, I didn't even have time to invite Paul to dinner."

On the luxury charter plane to Charlotte, Leonard sighed and said to Zhou Si with emotion.

"It's okay, please invite him to lunch in advance next time, this time the time is tight."

Zhou Si thought for a while and said.

The Magic will have back-to-backs the next day, and they will also start a five-game streak in the Eastern Hell, two of which will be back-to-backs.

Then the second opponents in the two back-to-back games were the No. [-] Big Four Cavaliers in the East and the No. [-] Bulls in the East!

Most of the media believe that the Blazers' winning streak is coming to an end!

The devil's schedule of seven days and five away games is not only a huge test for the players' bodies, but also for the players' spirits.

Especially back to back, many players with relatively light sleep only sleep for a few hours!
This is the supermen of the NBA, and ordinary people have been tossed and broken long ago.

Hornets, Bulls, Bucks, Knicks and Cavaliers.

Although the Blazers are strong, this schedule is really not friendly.

Many fans in the Bulls game felt that the Blazers were in danger, and in the Cavaliers game, many fans felt that the league arranged for the Blazers to give away their heads.

So a large wave of Trail Blazers fans spontaneously posted messages on the NBA's official social account:
"So love goes away, right?"

Xiao Hua, who figured out what was going on and was about to win the Cavaliers, could directly throw the blame away.
"A special person is in charge of arranging the schedule. Considering various factors, there is no specific target for any team."

……

After arriving in Charlotte, Zhou Si was called over by Emperor Yi.

Unexpectedly, I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord first, but was preempted by Emperor Yi first.

However, Emperor Yi rarely played tricks.

"Tonight, a big man wants to see you."

Seeing Emperor Yi whose unicorn arms became stronger and stronger, Zhou Si actually already had some ideas in his heart.

Charlotte, the one who can be called a big shot in the basketball world must be the aloof "God of Basketball"!

Seeing the car driving further and further away to a luxurious manor, Zhou Si became more convinced of his guess.

It's just that I don't know why Jordan is looking for him...

In the parking lot, Zhou Si saw the man called the "God of Basketball" as soon as he got out of the car.

Unlike the strong figure of his youth, nor the image of the boss in a suit and leather shoes on the sidelines that has been seen in recent seasons, Jordan casually dressed in casual clothes and stretched out his right hand to Zhou Si.

"Welcome to my place, Zhou!"

"Thank you, Michael."

Zhou Si looked at him neither humble nor overbearing, and then shook hands!

With a smile on his face, Jordan let go of his hand, and then led Zhou Si and Yi Jianlian to his restaurant.

The three of them are very clear that eating is a cover, and the focus is on what they say after eating.

"Do you know that Zhou was the first player I invited to the manor?"

Jordan shook his red wine glass and said in a magnetic voice.

Yi Jianlian and Zhou Si shook their heads at the same time, the two of them really didn't know about this.

Jordan didn't care too much, looked at Zhou Si and said:
"In the past few years, or to be precise, I have paid attention to you when you were still playing in the NCAA four years ago.

I was there at the NCAA finals.

Seriously I was really upset watching you beat my alma mater North Carolina at the Superdome!
However, I am not unconvinced.

Basketball should speak with strength! "

Zhou Si didn't speak, but smiled.

He knew that Jordan would not invite him to dinner specifically to praise him, there must be other reasons.

Seeing that Zhou Si was silent, Jordan took a sip of the red wine and continued to look at Zhou Si and said:
"I've seen a lot of talented youngsters, but honestly you're the only one who amazes me!

I've seen LeBron, I've seen Durant, I've seen Steph and Russell Westbrook...

They're really good, but seriously, I don't see dominance in them!
I know that it will be difficult for them to surpass the scope of basketball and reach my height throughout their lives!
But you are different! "

Jordan put down his red wine glass, and looked at Zhou Si with shining eyes:
"Others say I am GOST, the most supreme existence in the history of basketball!
I can make Nike, retiring can cause the stock to drop, and let the world know that there is a basketball player named Jordan who can fly in the air...

LeBron can't, Kevin can't, Stephen, Russell can't either...

Kobe was close at one point, but he's going my way, so he can only get close, not pass me!

But you are different! "

Hearing Jordan say this sentence for the second time, Zhou Si's expression became a lot more serious. He knows that the main event is coming!

"You are as talented as I am, and you can always be the most dazzling presence on the basketball court!

More importantly, basketball seems to be integrated with us and has become our life! "

Yi Di watched and said nothing, while Zhou Si nodded seriously.

Basketball is really his life!

"You really grew up very fast, your personal statistics, honors, especially team honors even surpassed me in the same period!
I know what it feels like to be at the top, and I know how lonely it is to be invincible.

So, I chose to retire for the first time and challenge myself in another field.

As for being forced to retire by the media, it's all nonsense! "

Zhou Si nodded again.

Jordan's switch to baseball after his first three consecutive championships will be familiar to anyone with a little bit of NBA common sense.

It's just that there was a controversy at that time about why Jordan changed to baseball.

Some of the most famous guesses are:
Take a look at the small mountains and challenge yourself in another field;
His father was shot dead, and he became discouraged and paralyzed himself;
Being forced to retreat by the media, prove that you are irreplaceable!
It seems that I still feel that I am too invincible!
"You have led the Blazers to win two consecutive championships, and this season is also very promising to lead the Blazers to establish a dynasty!
Stable management, a coaching staff who work closely with players, a mature tactical system and players.

I didn't say you also found out that there are many nights when you can win easily even if you don't play your best.

You can still get a triple-double every night, but is that your limit? "

Jordan looked at the thoughtful Zhou Si with burning eyes, and then continued his output without giving Zhou Si time to think about it.
"You stop shining every night, stop being the center of public opinion, and then your influence will start to decline!
I know that you Chinese have the idea of ​​homeland and like the concept of one person, one city, such as Yaozhi in Houston.

But is this really interesting?

Almost the same teammates, the same wins, is it really interesting to repeat non-challenging days?

I have no intention of persuading you to retire, and I heard that you only pursue basketball, but you can change to another city to accept the challenge again and achieve greatness!
I think Charlotte is perfect for you! "
