I really play basketball

Chapter 135
When the preseason started, Danzi was still the focus of the whole world.

He has accepted various interviews and participated in various activities.

Every day, "ESPN", "Sports Illustrated", "Chicago Union Morning Post", "Los Angeles Daily", "New York Times" and other media are all covered by various "Mike claims".

For example, two days ago, a piece of "Mike said" that sparked the most heated discussion——

The ESPN reporter asked: "Mike, you've been out of the NBA for almost a year...

During this year, there have been more young people in the NBA who have never played against you. Among these young people, do you have a deep memory? "

Danzi's answer was: "The young man I remember deeply, emmm..."

"First of all, Byron Russell. I like Jerry Krause's selection very much. His defense is very good, and he is very aggressive and surprisingly fierce."

While talking, Danzi couldn't help covering his crotch.

Well, he would never tell this unfamiliar ESPN reporter that the reason why he mentioned Byron Russell first was definitely not because he was his teammate.

Rather, there are certain unspeakable and unspeakable reasons.

"And then, Penny Hardaway, he's a great point guard.

His style of play and his style remind me of a magician. I even think that if he develops smoothly, his future achievements will not be inferior to Irwin. "

Danzi's evaluation of Penny was so high, ESPN reporters did not expect it.

At this moment, his mind is full of: Fuck, is the 93rd draft so strong?The best rookie in history, coupled with a penny whose future achievements are not inferior to the magician, the 93 golden generation?
"There's Chris Webber on the Bullets, he's playing the four and five, but he's passing the ball like a guard..."

"By the way, there's Jamal Mashburn, his back-up reminds me of myself..."

"Isiah Ryder is great too, he dunks like hell..."

Penny, Weber, Ryder, Mashburn... Danzi stopped talking when he felt that he had said enough.

The reporter was keen to find out, no, this is one less.

The less is the most important one...

"Mike, where's Sta?"

"Sta? Uh, I'm sorry, I haven't watched the Warriors' games very much, and I don't know much about him.

But I know that he was a member of the league's first team and first defense last season. He is already a character, and it is not appropriate to compare him in the category of young people. "

"This……"

The ESPN reporter scratched his head: "Mike, don't you know that Star is the youngest player in the league?"

Lin Xing, who was born in 75, is still the youngest player in the league even though he has played for one year.

Even the big dog Robinson, who participated in the draft in the second grade, is more than two years older than Lin Xing.

Younger than you, Lin Xing is not bragging, everyone here is uncle!
Danzi spread his hands, of course he knew that Lin Xing was very young.

But to be honest, after losing the trainer competition once, Danzi regarded Lin Xing as his real opponent.

Even the big dream of winning a championship after he left, Danzi didn't pay much attention to it.

In the final analysis, the problem is still with Tim Glover's mouth.

You know, Glover has been Danzi's closest comrade-in-arms in the past three or four years.

The closest comrade-in-arms defected to the enemy, and even blew Lin Xing into the sky, how could Danzi not pay attention?
……

Lin Xing did not pay attention to Danzi's interviews and activities during this period.

The main reason is that Danzi frantically swipes the screen these days, and he is a little tired of swiping. As long as there are news with "Maikou" and "Danzi" in the title, he skips them all.

So when he knew Danzi's evaluation of him, it was already the day before the start of the preseason.

Before the start of the preseason, the league announced the new season's schedule in advance, taking advantage of the enthusiasm for Danzi's comeback.

The reason why Lin Xing paid attention to Danzi's evaluation of him was that in the opening game, the Warriors were going to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

In other words, Danzi's opponent is the Warriors in the first battle of his comeback.

"The old man wants to engage in a confrontation between old and new..."

From the old man's point of view, it must be a good thing for Danzi to come back.

But the old man also retired from Danzi this year, and saw how dependent the league is on Danzi.

In order to prevent Danzi from running after playing for a year, the old man decided to use this year to train a player who can rival Danzi.

Of course, the so-called rival here does not refer to the level of strength, but the traffic and commercial value.

With the plan in place, you just need to find a suitable target to support.

For the old man, is it still necessary to find this object of admiration?
Obviously, Lin Xing, who was the All-Star ticket champion in the first year, gave him three or four years of wretched development, and his traffic and commercial value could be comparable to Danzi.

Now pull Lin Xing out and touch Ci Danzi directly.

As long as the game is played well, the growth rate of traffic and commercial value can be further accelerated.

At that time, even if Danzi plays for a year before running away, the old man will not be afraid anymore.

Knowing that the Bulls were about to be played in the opening game, Lin Xing was under a lot of pressure.

That was the first battle of Dancing with God!

Of course, more importantly, this is the first battle of Danzi's comeback.

Why is the whole world so excited during this period of time?Isn't it Danzi's comeback?

Why is Danzi coming back?Isn't it just a return to the NBA?
Everyone has been looking forward to it for so long, don't you just want to see Danzi's comeback for the first time?

If you want to select the most watched game in the NBA, Danzi's comeback first game will definitely be on the list and will be among the best.

"This may be the most watched game I have ever played in my basketball career..."

Lin Xing added one so far, because the heat of this game is all Danzi alone.

In other words, Lin Xing is just a joker.

He is ambitious and believes in the future. He can play a more heated game on his own.

It is confirmed that they will play the Bulls in the opening game, and they will go to the Bulls' new arena on the first day of the regular season to watch the unveiling ceremony of Danzi's bronze statue and the retirement ceremony of Danzi's No. 23 jersey.

In the first game of the preseason, Lin Xing was asked——

"Sta, what do you think of Michael's evaluation of you?"

Lin Xing was still a little puzzled: "What did Michael think of me? When did he judge me?"

Waiting for the reporter's introduction, Lin Xing touched his chin——

"All I can say is, thank Michael for not treating me like a young man. For me, this is a compliment."

A very formulaic answer, what I said is definitely not the truth.

The real truth is that from Danzi's evaluation, Lin Xing saw that Danzi's words and deeds were inconsistent.

"He's cheating ghosts, he hasn't watched my game much..."

If Danzi is still a normal person, after Lin Xing successfully robs his trainer, he should make up for Lin Xing's game.

Not to mention, Tim Glover stepped on Qiao Lin, if Danzi didn't know Lin Xing, would he still be Danzi?

"Dishonest, Danzi, there is a price to pay for being dishonest."

……

But there is still some time before Danzi pays the price.

You know, the preseason hasn't been played yet.

It may be to prevent the heat from being wasted on meaningless preseason games. The Bulls have already informed in advance: Danzi will not play in the preseason games.

For the Warriors, Lin Xing only played more than ten minutes in the first game of the preseason.

Although they lost to the Lakers in the end, considering that the main force did not play much, this loss will not have any far-reaching impact.

In the next preseason, Lin Xing still didn't play much, basically just playing for 20 minutes in the first half.

In the second half, I sat on the bench and watched the performances of the substitute teammates.

Then, the Warriors had a three-game losing streak, and the home game tickets couldn't be sold after losing.

In the fourth game, the old Nelson had no choice but to spend all the playing time of the main players and won a game.

After winning a game, continue to play badly.

In the middle, I won one game by relying on the substitute, and lost all the remaining games without losing.

After eight preseason games, the Warriors have 2 wins and 6 losses, which couldn't be worse.

In contrast to the Bulls, without Danzi, they still won 8 games in 6 games.

It seems that the Bulls are ready to return to the championship ranks when Dan Zi returns.

The Warriors and Bulls completely lost their preseason records, which also made the public opinion before the opening game one-sided.

"There is no doubt that Michael's comeback debut will be a good start."

"Although the Warriors' poor record in the preseason is due to a large rotation of the main players, even if they have all the main players, they are not the favorites for the championship. Last season's playoffs proved this."

"On the other hand, the Bulls without Mike still made it to the second round last season. With Michael back, the Bulls have returned to the championship."

Bulls back in contention?Lin Xing has a question mark face.

He has a saying, I don’t know whether to say it or not——

"Danzi on the 45th is really not as good as the 23rd."

It was definitely inappropriate to say this before the game.

If he speaks out, the American media will definitely give him a label of "bad brain". He doesn't want to be another "madman".

But if we won the game, we can say something after the game, it's not a big problem.

Moreover, Lin Xing, who is a latecomer, knows very well that this Bulls team, even with Danzi who made an early comeback, is still two words-not strong.

Although Danzi won six championships in this era, this era is still an era of insiders.

Danzi was able to win the first three championships because he had a teammate named Horace Grant.

Danzi was able to win the last three championships because he had a teammate named Dennis Rodman.

These two people, one in front and one behind, guaranteed the hardness of the bull's inside line.

And now, Danzi's comeback Bulls do not have Cobra Grant or Rodman.

Even Luke Longley joined the Warriors because of the historical shift.

Now the Bulls can use the inside, only the veteran Bill Wennington, Will Perdue, who is equally strong, and the second-year Corey Blunt.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zen Master's triangle offense requires the center's support ability.

Will Perdo has excellent support ability, so in the preseason, he is the main center forward.

The rest of Wennington and Corey Blunt have zero coping ability.

Without qualified insider help, even Danzi can hardly make waves in this era when insiders are king.

So, stop complaining about Lin Xing, a point guard who adds so many inside attributes and badges.

This is an era of insiders. Lin Xing, who has transformed from a point guard to a power forward, has adapted to the times.

This is called, hit and miss!

……

After the preseason, time flies, and it's time for the opening of the regular season.

On the day of the game, the Warriors arrived in Chicago.

In this city where Danzi's posters are everywhere, the warriors also felt the popularity of Danzi at this time.

When we arrived at the hotel, there were reporters at the door, and the whole street was crowded.

The reporters also said that they couldn't squeeze into the plaza of the United Center, so they appeared here to see if they could catch some leaks from the Warriors.

"It's too hot, it's too hot, not even in Tokyo."

"Mikou is Maikou, the world really focuses on you."

"77777..."

The wave of Danzi's comeback is indeed full of enthusiasm.

The main reason is that in the year he retired, the popularity of the NBA has fallen to the bottom, which proves that the NBA is really inseparable from Danzi.

Although the warriors came late, they still attended the unveiling ceremony of Danzi's bronze statue.

Lin Xing stood in the middle of the crowd, watching Danzi, who was in high spirits, uncovered the bronze statue by himself.

As a latecomer, Lin Xing already knew the true face of this bronze statue.

But like all the melon-eaters present, he was curious as to whose remaining hand the bronze statue was pressed by Dan Zi.

Soon, Dan Zi personally gave the answer——

"It does not refer to a specific person, but the embodiment of an era!"

Lin Xing frowned upon hearing this explanation.

"This guy is really crazy!"

Danzi's explanation is really crazy.

What he means is that he is not separating a person, but an era.

"Stop dunking for an era? Doesn't he mean to step on the NBA in the 90s?"

If it was the previous life two or thirty years later, there would be nothing wrong with Danzi's words.

but now?
Lin Xing said that he wants to make Danzi!

He wants Danzi to know that the half of the 90s has not yet passed, and it will be an era or something, you said it too early!
After the unveiling of the bronze statue, in the afternoon, the United Center also held an inauguration ceremony.

After that, it was the retirement ceremony of Danzi's No. 23 jersey.

Lin Xing watched the whole process, and there was only one feeling in the whole process——

Why Danzi is GOAT, just look at the grand occasion of this game.

Those who sit on the second and look at the first do not know at all that the distance between the second and the first is so far that they need to cross an entire galaxy.

At the end of the jersey retirement ceremony, the host announced loudly——

"Michael Jordan at No. 23 has retired, and Michael Jordan at No. 45 has appeared!"

Then, inside the United Center, the Bulls' new arena, there was a roar of cheers, screams and shouts that resounded through the heavens and the earth, so frenzied that it took people's breath away.

"Mike is back, he's back!"

"Mike, welcome back!"

"..."

In the corner, Lin Xing crossed his arms, full of fighting spirit, and stared at Danzi in the middle of the field.

In the next second, he noticed that Dan Zi seemed to be glancing at him as well.

Looking at each other for a moment, Lin Xing also saw the fiery fighting spirit in Danzi's eyes.

But it must be Lin Xing who is more aggressive.

Danzi at this moment, in Lin Xing's eyes, is like Ni Ni lying on the bed, and he can't help it anymore.
