Chapter 60 You Can Be Happy

The game entered garbage time, and substitute players from both sides came on the stage one after another.

Bai Jidong used the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people to fight hard in garbage time and scored a career-high 22 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.

"I'm very pleased that we have shown an amazing fighting spirit when the overall situation has been decided." Jordan praised Bai Jidong's garbage time to collect data.

Pippen even said bluntly: "Young players need to accumulate experience, and we are on the right path."

"Penny" Hardaway praised Bai Jidong even more: "He is an outstanding young man. I will place him third in this year's rookies, second only to Jerry and Kevin."

After scoring a new high, Bai Weidong is in a good mood, Jordan asks him to treat him, and Bai Weidong readily accepts.

Bai Jidong invited all his teammates to Jordan's private restaurant for dinner.No one was polite, except for Toni Kukoc who was absent due to a private appointment, and the rest of his teammates were present.

"To our rookie! Bye who beat Orlando!" Wennington raised his glass and yelled.

Bai Jidong kept Huos's teaching in mind, poured some water into the cup, and was about to drink with Wennington when Wennington saw the clue.

Wennington took Bai Jidong's cup and looked at it: "Bye, water is what I drink at this time?" "But Luo Teng won't let me drink." Bai Jidong said this powerless thing in a hurry pretext.

Rodman walked over unsteadily, naked, and poured a bottle of wine into Bai Jidong's glass: "Stop pretending! There are no outsiders." "Okay." Bai Jidong knew he couldn't hide, so he had no choice Obedience.

The bulls gradually attracted people's attention, and young girls began to strike up a conversation.

What shocked Bai Jidong the most was that a well-known female singer in Chicago actually offered to have a seminar on body structure with Pippen.Pippen refused on the grounds that he was tired and unable to work hard today.

"Why didn't such a good thing happen to me?" Ron Harper envied.

Bai Jidong teased: "Because you are bald, women don't like bald men." "What the hell are you talking about?" Bai Jidong forgot that Jordan is also bald.

"I'm drunk, oh, I'm so dizzy." Bai Jidong hoped that Jordan really thought he was drunk, because there is no such thing as saying the truth after drinking in America.

But Jordan is not stupid, "Tomorrow you will die!" "Fuck! You are avenging yourself!" Bai Jidong immediately woke up from the "drunk" state.

Jordan shrugged: "That's right, I'm just avenging myself."

The next day, Jordan kept his promise, and Bai Jidong was drilled by him for a whole morning.

Regarding this, Bai Jidong complained, but he did not compromise at all.

Whether it is Jordan's request or Claude Eisen's request, he strives for perfection so that they can't jump out of trouble.

"His core strength has improved, but his weight hasn't changed," Eisen said. "He needs more muscle."

"During the season, it would be nice to improve some strength." Jordan replied while doing deadlifts: "Add some weight to that kid." "Add more? His strength is already greater than yours." Eisen said.

"Not enough. He is a young man, and I am an old man. I should be more ruthless to young people. It is for his own good." Jordan said it in a dignified manner, and those who didn't know thought he was really thinking of Bai Jidong.

Eisen smiled wryly, "Michael, you value him so much, why don't you encourage him?" "Do you think that guy needs encouragement?" Jordan asked himself and answered, "What he needs is trash talk."

It has been a month since Bai Jidong joined the breakfast club, and Eisen has almost devoted all his attention to him.

Recording body data is a tedious job.The more complicated the more detailed.

"Claude, why are you frowning? Is that kid lazy?" Jordan just finished his activities.

"Lazy?" Eisen said with a wry smile: "He practiced himself to death, every movement required perfection, even a little picky, I've never seen such a hardworking guy." "It's nice to hear you say that ’” Jordan looked nonchalant.

Eisen couldn't help laughing.His comments on Bai Weidong imperceptibly stimulated Jordan.

I've never seen such a hardworking guy.This statement shows from the side that Bai Jidong is more hardworking than Jordan.Jordan never accepted it, so he practiced harder.

The Chicago Bulls continued to win, Bai Jidong almost forgot the feeling of losing.

Occasionally lose a ball, people will be very surprised.

Bai Weidong's name gradually spread in the country, and Chen Qi's publicity contributed a lot.Although Chen Qi devoted most of his energy to Bai Jidong's autobiography, as soon as Bai Jidong finished a game, he would send the post-match draft to China.

"Bai Jidong? That young man who played in the United States, right? I know him. It's not easy to be outside at such a young age." Gong Luming, the coach of the national team at the time, said of Bai Jidong: "The coach of the national team The team has been investigating him, and he has entered the call list of the national team. Of course, whether he can make the trip depends on his personal wishes."

With the media momentum, domestic sports channels began to track the Bulls game.

Led by CCTV, regular selection of Bai Jidong's outstanding game videos will be played.

Domestic fans were able to see Bai Jidong's performance, and his style of play quickly helped him capture a large number of fans.In this era when everyone loves Jordan, Bai Jidong followed Jordan and fought side by side with him. This is the most beautiful picture that fans can imagine.

On January 1996, 1, the Bulls fought against the 16ers again.

Bai Weidong was humiliated, and faced fellow rookie Jerry Stackhouse, he made breakthroughs with the ball again and again.He hit 14 goals in 10 shots and scored 30 points, setting a new career high.

"This young man is only ranked 20th? Are you kidding me?" Celtics legend Bill Walton is the commentator of the game: "You can see the word talent from this young man. All that it means."

In addition, there was a major event that shocked the basketball world in January.

The retired former Lakers jersey "Magic" Johnson announced his comeback.The announcement caused an uproar in the basketball world.

The magician's comeback journey is not as smooth as Jordan's.Although he is not an HIV patient, he is carrying the HIV virus.

Many stars came out and boycotted playing against him.As one of the black and white bears who saved the NBA in the 80s, the magician has already achieved fame.His comeback was advertised by the league as a fighter for the HIV virus, and those voices against the boycott were ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

This matter has no effect on Bai Jidong, because he has no impression of magicians.Instead, his teammates discussed it for several days.

Rodman said excitedly: "What? I want to cuddle with that promiscuous guy to grab rebounds? I don't want to! I don't want to! Phil, I have to take turns when I play Los Angeles!"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Soon, Bai Jidong was thinking about these things.

Bai Jidong was selected as the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference for his outstanding performance in January. This is his first personal honor after entering the NBA.

In early February 1996, Bai Jidong and Alan Henderson, Elief Williams, Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Damon Stoudemire, Bo Bob Sura, Kurt Thomas and others were selected for the 2 All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge East team.

"Oh, really." When Hoss told Bai Jidong that he was selected for the Rookie Challenge, Bai Jidong's reaction was like this.

"I think you can be happy, which is an affirmation of you." Hoss said.

"Oh, am I in? Really? Tell me it's not a dream!"

"."

Note: This year has not yet divided into first grade and second grade, and the rookies of this year will represent their respective divisions in the Rookie Challenge.
