One thing Xu Yong can be sure of is that Jordan was definitely impressed by him in the NCAA finals a month ago.
So the noble Jordan forgets things a lot, so he has completely forgotten about it?
How can it be!
No matter how busy Jordan is, the memory of that big occasion cannot disappear so quickly.
So the only explanation is that Jordan did it on purpose.
It was also at this moment that Xu Yong remembered the media's reports on Jordan's narrow-mindedness.
He originally thought that it was used by the media to criticize Jordan, but now it seems that the media reports are sometimes not entirely groundless.
Xu Yong... readily accepted Jordan's unreasonable request.
Although the other party is his idol, if a forty-six-year-old and three-month-old old guy dares not agree to an invitation to him, then he is not him.
Even after walking up to Jordan, he didn't forget to ask: "Do I need to give you some warm-up time?"
Jordan was stunned for a moment.
He returns to the United Center to play several times every summer, and it has become a part of his retirement life.
It would have been later in previous years, but this year Grover held a training camp at the United Center, and he was invited in advance as a mysterious guest.
You don't have to give face to others, but since this old friend has invited him, he will naturally not refuse.
Of course, in order to better support him, he trained for more than a month in advance to recover his body.
For someone who never admits defeat, he will take on challenges at any time and anywhere and take them seriously.
Unexpectedly, he met Xu Yong here.
Don't talk about why it is impossible for him not to know what Xu Yonglai said. For him who makes millions every minute, he only cares about who is participating in this training camp when he has nothing to do.
So he was surprised when he first saw Xu Yong, and then became excited.
This kid masturbated North Carolina a month ago, and he did it in front of him. Afterwards, he was ridiculed by the media for a while. In the past, he said "you must lose in every bet", but now it has become "you must lose in every game".
As the great god of basketball, he certainly won't keep these little things in mind, but since he has such an opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.
So he called Xu Yong a caddy and wanted to give Xu Yong a blow. At least he could see Xu Yong's helpless look.
After all, Xu Yong has long said that he is his fan.
But he never expected that Xu Yong not only didn't panic at all, but also asked him if he wanted to warm up?
You are a fake fan!
"No, no need." Jordan specially wore training clothes today. When he said this, he didn't even take off his training clothes.
So, on one side was Xu Yong, who felt that "I can't beat a forty-six-year-old man", and on the other side was Jordan, who said, "I have to take off my training clothes to beat you, a college student." The two of them walked to half-time and started to fight. Bullfighting against one.
Then soon, both people had surprised expressions on their faces.
What surprised Jordan was Xu Yong's confrontation ability.
Since becoming the minor owner of the Bobcats, Jordan has developed a habit of bullfighting with Bobcats players during the season, so he has a relatively good understanding of the abilities of current NBA players.
It can only be summed up in one sentence: Why have today's players become so soft?
But after this period, he found that Xu Yong's confrontation was stronger than most of the Bobcats' players.
What surprised Xu Yong was Jordan's mobility.
Xu Yong is not surprised at all about Jordan's skills, because skills are mostly muscle memory. Judging from Jordan's appearance, he should keep training after retirement.
The key is mobility, this rapid breakthrough and silky mid-range, you tell me this is forty-six years old? !
The situation is quite anxious.
And after finding it difficult to win easily, both men began to subconsciously engage in physical confrontation.
So the bullfight quickly turned from situational anxiety to physical intensity.
Jordan: Damn it, if word gets out that I lost to a college student, where will my reputation as the God of Basketball go!
Xu Yong: Damn it, if word gets out that I lost to the 46-year-old Jordan, I will be in trouble in the NBA!
Because the fight was so fierce, Jordan had already begun to talk trash: "What kind of back-up technique do you have? I was better at it than you when I was in elementary school!"
Naturally, Xu Yong is not to be outdone. It is true that you are my idol, but one code is another code. No matter who talks trash to him on the court, he will spit it back.
"Is this the God of Basketball? If you hadn't retired early, I would have definitely defeated you on the court!"
What a waste of time to be polite to you.
Just when the bullfight between the two reached its peak, they were completely unaware that two figures had appeared at the door.
One is the organizer of this training camp, Tim Grover, and the other is the current head coach of the Bulls, Vinny Denagro.
The former met the latter on the way here. Hearing that Jordan was here, De Nagro happened to come over to say hello.
At this time, when they saw the bullfight between the two people in the training hall, although they didn't know why, they were greatly shocked.
Especially to Xu Yong.
DeNagro played in the NBA for 14 years, most of which overlapped with Jordan.
People like them, who have come before him, only have respect and even fear for Jordan.
You must know that Jordan was not a good person when he was a player. He was nicknamed "The Tyrant of the Court."
But the little guy in front of him was actually trash-talking each other with Jordan...
Finally, this 21-point bullfight came to the final stage.
Jordan's physical fitness obviously began to decline after the fierce confrontation, and although Xu Yong also consumed a lot of physical energy, he was young and strong after all.
A change of direction shook Jordan away, Xu Yong quickly broke into the paint, then held his breath, leaped high and slammed the ball into the basket.
21 to 18.
Xu Yong became the final winner.
After landing, Xu Yong wanted to roar, but he couldn't take a breath.
This kind of bullfighting without warming up is just like sprinting without any foreplay. It's too violent.
Fortunately, he won. Although beating the 46-year-old Jordan was nothing to brag about, it was fine for him not to lose.
Jordan's face looked particularly scary.
He took off his training clothes directly, and then said to Xu Yong in a tone that could not be refused: "One more game."
Although the physical exertion just now was high, it was equivalent to a high-intensity anaerobic exercise, and their physical strength was still there.
Xu Yong waved his hand and pointed to the door.
He had already seen the two people standing at the door just now.
Although he didn't know what Grover looked like yet, he should be one of the two.
Jordan turned around and saw the two of them. He frowned, as if he was quite dissatisfied with their arrival.
However, he did not continue to bullfight Xu Yong. After all, in front of acquaintances, if he continued, it would seem that he was really narrow-minded.
Seeing the end of the bullfight, Grover and Denagro also came over to say hello.
"This is it?" Denagro looked at Xu Yong doubtfully.
Jordan did not answer. He could not say that Xu Yong was a caddy again, because from a time perspective, Grover and the others should have seen him lose to Xu Yong. If we talk about caddy again, he would lose to a caddy. It's more embarrassing than losing to a college student.
Of course, he didn't say who Xu Yong was. How could he introduce the person who had just defeated him.
Fortunately, Grover guessed Xu Yong's identity, because only Schwartz found a Chinese player for him in this training camp.
"If I guess correctly, you should be Xu Yong from Arizona State University, the NCAA champion this year, and the MOP winner this year?" Grover has worked with Jordan for almost 20 years after all, and he still knows Jordan very well.
Sure enough, with the addition of these prefixes, Jordan's expression softened significantly.
Xu Yong smiled and extended his hand to Grover: "It's me, hello Mr. Grover. It's an honor to participate in the training camp organized by you."
Grover couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
These refreshing words and humble and sunny attitude are completely different from the one who spat trash at Jordan during the bullfight.
This young man is really interesting.
He smiled and shook hands with Xu Yong, and had a deep impression on Xu Yong.
Not long after, people from the training camp came to the training hall one after another, and Grover's training camp also started.
The entire training camp will last three days.
Like Xu Yong, most of the participants in the training camp are college students.
They were so excited when they saw Jordan.
Jordan was also eager to try when he saw them.
Ever since, on the first day of the training camp, Jordan kept coming off the court to give "kind" guidance to these college students.
It's a pity for these college students. Each one of them was educated by the forty-six-year-old Jordan, and they finally understood the true meaning of the nickname "Old Rogue".
Seeing this, Grover felt helpless.
But there is no way, who calls him Jordan.
He then turned his attention to Xu Yong, who was sitting and resting on the sidelines. He was already an [inspection-free product] in Jordan's eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
