Chapter 116 Michael Jordan is lei!(1/2)
finally.
One day after the NBA opener.
The Suns also ushered in their regular season opener.
As I said before, the Suns beat the Clippers in the opening game, no, they had already played against them in the preseason.
Phoenix fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time. It can be seen from the fact that one and a half hours before the game started, 80% of the auditorium at the American Arena was filled with fans. Everyone was very excited.
No wonder they are so excited.
The strong six-game winning streak in the preseason and the performance of the players, especially Lin Ri, let everyone know that the Suns in the new season are really worth looking forward to.
These fans didn’t come empty-handed either.
At least half of the ten fans who came to watch the game tonight were holding support items, either player posters or cheering banners...
Obviously, there will be no shortage of cheers at the American West Arena tonight.
"Did you see that, this is how popular Xiao Lin is at America West Arena!"
Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi are also present today, and Lin Ri’s opening match will be broadcast at Station C later.
They looked at the banners and posters related to Lin Ri everywhere with smiles on their faces. They were happy to see these pictures.
Originally only Yao Ming could do it, but now, finally, a second Chinese player has appeared.
Speaking of which, Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi are in a very relaxed mood now. Lin Ri's performance in the pre-season game means that they don't have to be as nervous as when they were commentating on Yao Ming's first NBA game. After all, this kid has already gone "crazy" in the pre-season game.
"Coming, coming, Michael Jordan is coming!"
"Put it on, put it on, he is really wearing the No. 95 jersey."
"Michael Jordan is getting old too, and his beer belly is coming out."
One hour before the game started, there was a sudden commotion in the already lively auditorium.
It can also be heard from the comments of these fans that the cause of the commotion is not other people, but the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan who ruled the NBA throughout the 1990s and is known as the first man in NBA history.
coming!
He didn't just come!
He also came wearing Lin Ri's No. 95 jersey as agreed with Barkley!
So cool!
I don’t know what other people’s reactions were. Anyway, for the old fans who watched the 1993 Suns and Bulls finals, they felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts when they saw this scene!
Michael Jordan, who ruined the championship dreams of all Phoenix fans, will you one day wear the Suns' new core jersey and become his fan!
Thinking about it again, he will be cheering for Lin Ri from the sidelines later, and these old fans feel even more happy!
Today is a good day, everything you want can come true...
Lin Ri is really our lucky star!
Seeing Michael Jordan enter the court wearing a Suns jersey, the old Phoenix fans' favorability for Lin Ri quickly began to increase "+1, +1, +1".
Although it was Barkley who asked Michael Jordan to do this, if Lin Ri hadn't led the team to really overthrow "Five-Star North Carolina", then Barkley would not have had the chance to speak out about this punishment.
Barkley has been fighting Michael Jordan his entire career, but he has lost throughout his career. Now, relying on Lin Ri, he has made a comeback.
This feels very good.
At least at this moment, Barkley, who was sitting in the TNT studio watching Michael Jordan enter the court, had a smirk on his face that seemed to have succeeded.
He got Michael Jordan as he wished!
Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi looked at the Suns No. 95 worn by Michael Jordan with indescribable expressions on their faces.
There has always been a saying in the NBA: Those who have never seen Michael Jordan's dominance on the court at his peak can never imagine what kind of dominance this guy has on the basketball court.
No way, this guy who retired could even affect the American economy and shocked Wall Street in the 1990s was really like a god.
There seems to be no problem on the court that he can't solve.
And now, this guy who all the stars looked up to at that time is now wearing Lin Ri's No. 95 jersey and entering the front row of the sidelines from the VIP channel.
Is this really true?
There was no need for them to pinch their faces or thighs. The commotions in the audience showed that this was the truth!
The Clippers players are unhappy at the moment.
Because they have been on the court for more than ten minutes, but the Suns fans in the audience acted as if they had not seen them. There were no boos at all. These guys were all talking about Michael Jordan wearing jersey No. 95.
This, what the hell...we are the Suns' opponents later, okay?
Could it be more interesting to discuss Michael Jordan than us?
Um?
The Clippers veterans, headed by Baron Davis, are very dissatisfied with the attitude of this Suns fans, who don't take them seriously at all!
"Look, look, Michael really put on that rookie's jersey. I didn't expect to be alive to see this scene."
"I don't know what Michael is thinking right now. I guess it's uncomfortable. He asked me to wear that rookie's jersey and watch him play from the sidelines. I feel sick just thinking about it."
Um……
However, 5 minutes later, the guys from the Clippers also started chatting about Michael Jordan.
While chatting, they suddenly felt that it seemed more interesting than booing them~
There is no other reason, the main reason is that Michael Jordan wearing a rookie's jersey and cheering him on the sidelines is really a sight that you may not see for a long time.
They are also very curious.
After chatting happily, they began to wonder how Michael Jordan would cheer for Lin Ri later.
"Come on, come on, the Suns players are coming in!"
"Steve, the sun, look over here!"
"OMG, look at The Sun's figure. This guy has gotten so big after not seeing you all summer?"
While the members of the Clippers team were also having fun chatting with Michael Jordan, the atmosphere at the scene changed again, and the already loud commotion became even louder.
There is only one reason that can cause such a big reaction, and that is the Suns entering the field!
Steve Nash went first.
Lin Ri walked in the middle of the team, but he stood out because of his height and figure. Fans holding cheering items for Lin Ri on the sidelines shook the posters in their hands unconsciously.
and banners.
So many people?
Lin Ri, who has become accustomed to the number of fans on the sidelines in preseason games, looked at the packed auditorium at American West Arena tonight and said something unconsciously in his heart.
Then, he also saw Michael Jordan wearing Suns jersey No. 95.
When the latter saw him entering the venue, he also stood up and waved, apparently asking him to come over.
Lin Ri did not rush over, but packed up everything on the bench, and then walked towards the latter under the watchful eyes of all the fans.
"Man, come on tonight!"
This was the first thing Michael Jordan said to Lin Ri. At the same time, he raised his right hand and made a fist.
This is considered cheering...???
Lin Ri looked at Michael Jordan's action and thought to himself.
But think about it, after all, he is the helmsman of the AJ empire. You can't expect this guy to be like ordinary fans, right?
Anyway, Buckley in the studio was enjoying watching it.
The Suns fans at the scene were also very happy. When Michael Jordan made an action to cheer Lin Ri, they gave out a huge cheer.
It's like cheering for a victory.
In the hearts of many Suns fans.
These cheers should have sounded as early as June of 1993...
After finishing his cheers, Michael Jordan did not sit down immediately, but asked nervously: "Man, you have been thinking about it for a day and a half. I really want to know where we are not good enough?"
While asking questions, Michael Jordan's nervous expression gradually became serious.
He couldn't help but be serious.
Originally, he thought that when he came up with a five-year 70 million endorsement contract, Lin Ri would readily sign his name on the contract. After all, the contract he gave was already the largest in the entire industry.
Contracted.
Since Lin Ri has never played in the NBA, 70 million in five years is really the limit.
Michael Jordan dared to say that no one in the entire industry could offer a higher price than him.
The risks involved are really quite big!
But he really didn't expect that Lin Ri had hesitated for a day and a half and still hadn't given him a confirmation yet.
To be continued...
