Chapter 98 Departure to Chicago

After that day, the Chinese team played four warm-up matches and won all of them.

"Rare speed, he can rotate the help defense of five positions. I don't know what position he is in the NBA, but if he plays an international game, Xiaobai can play the [-]th position. His rebounding awareness is better than many insiders. What's more valuable is his defense, which is a nightmare for the perimeter of any country other than the United States, and his appearance has raised the Chinese team to a higher level."

Then there is Chen Qi's personal autobiography for Bai Jidong, which was also pre-sold in China this month.

According to Chen Qi, within a day, the pre-sale of the novel has exploded.The expected volume of printed books was far from enough.Bai Jidong's popularity in China is beyond imagination.

Bai Jidong has just received a courier from the United States, which contains all the things he needs.After receiving the courier, he quickly returned to the hotel, handed the quick-frozen chicken breast to the waiter, let them refrigerate, and then started to prepare the extra meal half an hour later.

In the same room, Wang Zhizhi was eating chicken drumsticks, the taste of the meat made Bai Jidong saliva: "Dazhi, can you stop eating from my place?" "Come and get it if you want, why torture yourself like this?" ?” Wang Zhizhi said generously.

"The gap between us and the United States is not only in body, but also in philosophy. Chicken legs are delicious, but..." Watching Wang Zhizhi chewing slowly, Bai Jidong kept silent, which was useless.

Seeing the smooth and tender chicken leg dangling in Wang Zhizhi's hands, Bai Jidong picked up a piece of unprocessed chicken breast and threw it into the water to cook.

In mid-July, the Chinese team ended the domestic warm-up match and entered the final round of closed training.

On the eve of the training, the head coach Gong Luming approached Bai Jidong, "Xiaobai, what's the difference between the venues in the United States and those in China?"

"The arena is bigger, with more spectators and more advanced equipment." Bai Jidong said: "If you haven't been there before, you may not be used to it."

"That's what we're worried about. Do you know anyone in America?" Gong Luming asked.

Bai Jidong said: "What do I need to do?" "It would be best if you can get familiar with the venue in advance." Gong Luming said.

Bai Jidong promised to help, but did not guarantee that he would do it.

Gong Luming just asked him to try it out and didn't give much hope.After Bai Jidong left the room, he took out his mobile phone and called Jerry Krause.

After a while, Klaus answered the phone: "Bye, what's the matter so late?"

The tone seemed to have just woken up, Bai Jidong forgot the time difference, looked at the sunshine outside: "It's not too late, it's just noon."

"You are in China, and I am in the United States." Klaus said, "Forget it, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this." Bai Jidong told the whole thing.

Klaus smiled and said: "What's the trouble with this, just come, I can help you find a hotel, the recent summer league is very hot, if you need, I can arrange a few teams to warm up with you." Thank you so much!" Bai Jidong was overjoyed.

"You're welcome, Bye, come back early." Klaus said.

Bai Jidong chatted with him a few more words, hung up the phone, and immediately went to Gong Luming's room to report the result.

This changed the training program of the national team.Originally, the national team planned to return to Beilun for half a month of closed training. Now they can go to the United States to familiarize themselves with the venue in advance. Although it is not in Atlanta, the atmosphere in Chicago is better than that in Atlanta. If you can adapt to the stadium in Chicago, you can adapt to Atlanta. court.

"Xiaobai, this is your home game. You take care of me." Wang Zhizhi laughed.

Bai Jidong made a promise, "No problem, I'll take you to play when I get off the plane."

"Can I see Jordan?" Bart asked.

Bai Jidong showed a mysterious smile: "You don't want to see him." "How did you say that? I just want to see Jordan." Many people have beautiful longings for Jordan, but after seeing him, they will break that feeling. Blind and mindless yearning, like Bai Jidong, he respects and fears him.

After a season of tempering, Bai Weidong no longer had the fear of Jordan at the beginning of the season, but he was caught by Jordan every now and then and sent to special training. .

"Bye, is this your teammate?" Hawes came to greet him on behalf of the Bulls.

As soon as he saw Huos, Wang Zhizhi whispered to Liu Yutong beside him: "Look, this is the American girl who has an affair with Xiaobai, just like the photos in the newspaper." The one in the newspaper is more beautiful?" Liu Yutong also read similar newspapers.

"Huh, this is not the hotel we booked." Gong Luming said when he arrived at the hotel.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "We're all in Chicago, how can we let everyone live in that kind of place? This hotel is relatively close to my home, and the environment is good. During the season, the visiting team will stay in this hotel, which is very suitable."

"But our funds are limited."

"Coach, don't worry, I'll pay for the accommodation." Bai Jidong said: "Everyone, feel free to live in." "But, this is against the rules." The team leader said.

Bai Jidong said: "That's right, I am a special case, so it doesn't matter, just live in it, a good living environment is also very important for preparing for the war." "Xiaobai makes sense." The team leader said.

It was obviously a very simple matter, but Gong Luming seemed to be making a major decision: "Okay, then let's live in and experience Xiaobai's usual life."

Everyone cheered and rushed into the hotel like wolves and tigers.

The next day, Bertolt Center.

Under the leadership of Bai Jidong, everyone in the national team staged a story of a countryman entering the city.Neither the glamor of the arena nor the advanced level of facilities can be compared in China.

Bai Jidong pointed to one side and said, "That's the dining room, that's the locker room, that's the gym, and there's the equipment room, it's very big, don't wander around if you don't understand English."

"Is this where the Bulls usually train?" Hu Weidong asked.

Bai Jidong nodded: "Yes, we usually train here." "The gap between our training may be bigger than the gap in our strength." Hu Weidong was secretly speechless.Gong Luming also has to admit that the gap is all-round.

After being away for more than a month, Bai Weidong misses every inch of land here.He first went to the physical examination room to measure his weight.

As a result, his weight was the same as when he left the United States.In other words, he practiced hard for a month, but he didn't get anything.This is the price of going to the national team. You have to train with other people every day, and there is no time to strengthen special training for personal shortcomings.

"Bye, let's take a test, measure your height, weight, arm span, etc."

"Didn't you test it last year?"

"You were only 18 years old when you took the test last year, and now a year has passed, and I feel that you have grown taller again." Manoski muttered like a witch, insisting on turning Bai Jidong's body again.

After measuring it again and again, Manoski's mouth grew bigger and bigger: "Not only have you grown taller, but your arm span has also increased a little. The most incredible thing is your strength. Compared with last year, it has grown by leaps and bounds."

"Of course, I'm a member of the "Breakfast Club"." Bai Jidong said proudly, Manoski frowned at this smug look: "It seems that MJ's training is very effective, for your growth, I have to get him to step up the intensity."

Bai Weidong looked pale: "I think this intensity is enough."

"No, you look relaxed," Manoski said solemnly. "Every club member doesn't think the activities of the club are easy. You are easy."

"I'm just pretending! I like pretending to be strong!" Bai Jidong didn't hesitate to abandon the integrity he had just accumulated.

"Look at your performance, now go to practice with your national team teammates, I have already taken up a lot of your time." Manoski said.

Bai Jidong nodded, "Then I'll go first, by the way, don't tell MJ about our coming to Chicago."

"why?"

"If he knew we were coming, he would come and embarrass me." Bai Jidong said.

"Okay." After Bai Jidong left, Manoski looked out the window, and a black man got off in a sports car with good looks: "It's a pity that you said it too late, poor Bye."

Bai Jidong was just about to practice a few sets of shooting drills when he heard exclamations from around him.No, there are still gasps.

Like Wang Zhizhi panting and saying: "Joe Jordan!" "What?" Bai Jidong turned his head to look, and then saw the person he least wanted to see now.

Jordan was wearing only a vest and a pair of black shorts, sweating profusely. He was obviously already active, and he came prepared.

This damn black charcoal head!Bai Jidong was so angry that he must have done it on purpose.

"Bye, won't you introduce your national team teammates to me?" Jordan said kindly.

This expression gave Bai Jidong goose bumps all over his body: "He is."

"Forget it, before that, let's play." Jordan picked up the ball and said incredulously.

"Okay." Bai Jidong smiled uglier than crying.

"Oh, let me go! Isn't Jordan too strong?" Sun Jun couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Bai Jidong, who usually guards them to the point where he can't take care of himself, acts like a high school student in front of Jordan, and is repaired by Jordan in various ways.

If it's a full game, he can rely on Jordan to sneak up on Jordan a few times, but in the half game, speed doesn't work.

Jordan doesn't need to get rid of him, just a shot space.

"You will make your teammates think that the level of the Bulls is very low, please be serious?" Jordan said lightly.

Bai Jidong cried and said: "Then you won't keep it? Let me guard against one! Save face."

"Okay!" Jordan shook Bai Jidong up, rushed in and dunked the ball, deliberately dunking the ball: "Bye, your mind is really powerful, this is a must-go dunk, but it was blown away by your mind power."

"Mike, you are too deceitful!" Bai Jidong was furious.

"What do you want?" Jordan grinned.

"It's nothing, let's continue, as long as you are happy."
