Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 288
After back-to-back at home, the Warriors got a day's rest, and then they had to face the next challenger at home.

On the day of the game, Li Weisi came to the arena early for training as usual. After a while, other people came to the arena.

At the beginning, Li Weisi didn't care. Although it was still early, it was inevitable that there would be players who got up early and came to train, although the probability of this was very low.

But when the visitor entered the arena, Li Weisi was stunned. It turned out that the visitor was not a Warrior player, but the Warriors' next opponent, Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls.

Seeing Li Weisi present, Jordan was also taken aback for a moment, and then greeted Li Weisi.

"Hey man!"

"Hello there!"

Then, the two of them froze in place, you and I didn't speak, the air was full of embarrassment.

"Is there something wrong? It's okay, I'll continue practicing!" Finally, it was Li Weisi who said first.

"It's okay, you can continue!" After speaking, seeing Li Weisi turn around, Jordan let out a sigh of relief.

Although both the agent and the senior executives of Nike have told Jordan to get in touch with Li Weisi more, but Jordan is not interested in Li Weisi, and feels that the two people are naturally repulsive.

Just met Li Weisi, Jordan also wanted to try to communicate with Li Weisi, but in the end he found that he and Li Weisi could not talk at all.

Hey, forget it, I'd better practice by myself.

When both of them started to practice, the originally awkward atmosphere was resolved in an instant, and everything became harmonious.

At the beginning of shooting, Jordan didn't feel much about it, but when he shot, there was a "duang" on his side, but there was a "shua" on Li Weisi's side behind him.

One time was okay, two times, three times, as the number of times increased, Jordan's mood became worse, damn it, I don't feel good today!

Of course, Jordan attributed all of this to the problem of touch, not ability. Even a fan knows that Li Weisi's shooting is good, but Jordan will never admit this, let alone admit that his shooting is not as good as Li Weisi.

So, he refused to admit defeat, and suddenly his energy came up. Li Weisi made a shot, and he must not miss it. Pen, wait until Li Weisi's practice is over, and make up for it.

Not long after the two of them practiced, a man with a cropped cut, long arms, and sleepy eyes came in from the door.

The person who came was the Bulls' rookie of the year, Scottie Pippen.

As a rookie bought by Klaus at a high price, let alone fans, even Pippen himself did not expect that his draft pick would be so high.

To be honest, he doesn't particularly like basketball. He entered the NBA to play more for money. He signed a 6-year 510 million contract with the Bulls this summer, which made Pippen very happy.

Because this money not only allowed him to get rid of poverty, but also allowed him to fulfill his dream...to open a paper mill.

For this reason, he sent most of the money back home, and deposited the rest in the bank. Even in the summer, when he saw a Porsche, he was reluctant to buy it. He had no choice but to be poor.

In this way, after getting money in return, Pippen was full of fantasies about his future team life, but when he entered the Bulls on his first day, reality gave him a slap in the face.

I remember that when he first arrived at the team, he met Jordan. He knew who Jordan was and was the boss of the Bulls, so he greeted Jordan very politely.

However, what I didn't expect was that the changed Jordan looked defiant: "Oh, who are you country bumpkin?"

I have to say that Jordan's appearance is very awkward, even if he has an opinion on Klaus, he can't post it on Pippen.

Therefore, this also aroused Pippen's reluctance to admit defeat.

The first time he participated in the Bulls training, Pippen took the initiative to ask to defend Jordan. He wanted to prove to others that he was worthy of the No. 5 pick.

In the end, he succeeded too. After the first training session, he said this: "What Michael didn't do with other people, he couldn't do with me."

Of course, it is impossible for Jordan to agree with Pippen in just one training game, but Jordan also has to admit that this country bumpkin does have two brushes and is a qualified engineer. Unfortunately, he still holds Pippen's future development. skeptical.

So, after entering the Bulls, Pippen felt behind him, as if Jordan was holding a whip and waiting for his pace to slow down, so he whipped himself, and because of this, he was able to get up early and come to training.

Pippen was not two hundred and five. As soon as he entered the training hall, he felt the low pressure here. When he was thinking about whether to withdraw first, it was Li Weisi who stopped his movements first and examined Pippen with a different kind of gaze. Peng.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Seeing Li Weisi's uncomfortable eyes, Pippen couldn't help but said.

"You're Pippen? Scottie Pippen?"

"It's me, you know me?" Pippen was also taken aback. He knew that the person in front of him was Li Weisi, but he was still curious that Li Weisi knew his name.

"I heard that you are very good! You are the most powerful rookie in this class, not even worse than David Robinson. I want to see you." Li Weisi said very sincerely.

"Who is the most powerful rookie? Me?" Pippen was a little confused. Who made this rumor?

"Pfft...hahahaha!" Qiao Dan, who was listening to the two talking, immediately laughed out loud when he heard what Li Weisi said.

"Who are you listening to? This guy will be the strongest rookie in this class? You also believe this, are you out of your mind?" Jordan did not shy away from his words, and laughed loudly.

"Yeah, West, I'm very happy that you praised me, but this is indeed a bit too exaggerated!" Although Pippen believed in his own strength, he was not the kind of arrogant person. Yes, you can't talk nonsense!
"Isn't it? Frank told me, I still believe in his vision of people, so I want to try it myself." Li Weisi was not moved, and still believed in his own ideas.

"Then try it with him, redneck." At this time, Jordan also stood up and said to Pippen.

In this way, Pippen could only stand up and fight Li Weisi for a while. Although the time was not long, Li Weisi still felt Pippen's weakness from the fight with Pippen.

"Your hardware is very good, but your technical movements are still too rusty, not to mention your offense. It seems that you can do everything from jump shots, layups, and breakthroughs, but it feels like you can beat dead people with none of them. It's strange, why is Frank so optimistic about it? What about you?" After the fight, Li Weisi was also confused, scratching the back of his head in wonder.

Listening to Li Weisi's heart-wrenching words, he didn't save him any face.

But Pippen felt that what Li Weisi said could be accepted by him, so he asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Well, it's more complicated, let me tell you the same thing..."
