"You are very nice, I admire you very much."
Bird patted Su Feng on the shoulder. As a historical superstar in the NBA, his appreciation is very meaningful. He said Su Feng was good, and that was really good.
"I had a small bet with Scott before the game, and now he has won. I bet you won't score 10 points in the open game, but whether you scored 42 or 43 points tonight. Most of them were in the open game, which is far from It goes beyond our bet.”
"I rarely lose bets, let alone to someone like Scott. It's all because I don't know you well enough."
"So, I will carry out my bet. I will find a time to teach you my passing skills, including some other skills."
"I originally wanted to spend half an hour perfunctory after tonight's game. However, based on your outstanding performance, I must treat it carefully. I have to go back and sort out my video tapes, and I have to make a decision based on my actual experience. A detailed lesson plan. I have to let people know that I taught you how to pass."
"It will take about a month or more. But it doesn't matter. I looked at the schedule. The next time the Pacers go to Chicago to play an away game is exactly a week before Christmas. I will go to Chicago at that time. You will tell me the time then. Take it out. I might arrive two days early."
Larry Bird patted Su Feng on the shoulder and made a very serious promise.
Su Feng was very grateful.
He didn't expect Larry Bird to take it so seriously.
Bird raised his eyebrows: This is what I should do. come on! boy.
He handed his business card to Su Feng and told him that if he needed anything or encountered problems during the game, he could call him.
Bird regards Su Feng as a valued rookie. He rarely gives rookies his business card. His label has always been words such as being aloof and looking higher than the top.
It can be seen from the look on his face when he saw Su Feng before the game.
This shows how outstanding Su Feng's performance was tonight.
Bird was impressed.
It wasn't just Bird who was impressed.
Coach Bill was also very moved. He said very excitedly in front of the media: "There is no doubt that we made the most correct choice in the draft. There is no doubt that the Bulls are the biggest winner in this year's draft. We got Xinrich also got Su Feng!"
"They combined to score 59 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block tonight."
Coach Beal is an expert on numbers.
He was so excited.
Pippen was even more excited. Pippen said: "Su Feng reminds me of myself when I was young. His breakthrough layups are exactly the same as mine. In fact, they were also taught by me. Seeing him dominate the game so freely on the court, I’m reminded of my younger years, the best years of my life!”
"He's going to be an elite player, he's going to be an All-Star."
Pippen predicted without hesitation: "He will become Chicago's new answer."
Su Feng is the first rookie since Jordan to score 40+ points in his rookie season. Moreover, he scored 40+ in the sixth game of his career, earlier than Jordan.
Although no one really thinks that Su Feng can be compared with Jordan, Su Feng can refresh the record set by Jordan, which is enough for Chicago fans to be excited and shout for it.
As Coach Beal said, the Bulls made a lot of money in the draft.
Who would have thought that a second-round pick could burst out with such amazing energy?
He simply showed off his face in front of the powerful Pacers tonight.
"What else can I suggest? He has already scored 43 points on us." When O'Neal was asked by reporters after the game if he had any advice for the young player Su Feng, he was helpless and complained. Said: "Maybe you should ask him if he has any new suggestions for our defense."
Su Feng had no suggestions.
He once again enjoyed being at the press conference after the game, achieving this feat for the second time in his career.
It was well deserved, and in the locker room, his teammates were already spraying sports drinks to prove their belief in Su Feng's remarkable performance.
Su Feng was the biggest contributor to the victory and also created a rookie miracle.
He deserves to be able to attend the post-match press conference.
Su Feng still calmly expressed his views at the post-match press conference, and he is deeply loved by the media.
Moreover, he showed no pride.
When asked about breaking the record and becoming the first player in the 2003 class to score 40+ points, he said modestly: "I just happened to take the first step to reach this level. I believe that our talented rookies will More than 30 people climbed the steps."
"Why are you so confident?"
"Because we're going to have one of the best drafts in history."
Then, the reporter asked: "Before, some media still felt that you were not comparable to LeBron, even though you defeated LeBron. But they still felt that LeBron was a little king, and you were a second-round pick. But now, you But he was the first to score 40+, leaving James behind again. Excuse me, do you have anything to say to these people?"
"I'm not leaving James behind, it's just a game, don't over-interpret it. However, I don't like the discussion of kings and commoners. I think everyone is created equal."
Su Feng said calmly: "Maybe some people have better talents, but through acquired hard work and scientific training, acquired talents can also be developed. The power of 'hard work' cannot be denied."
Later, Su Feng answered some other questions.
Including reporters asking about the progress of his relationship with Scarlett Johansson.
Su Feng summed it up by saying, "Don't talk about personal matters during work."
In fact, after the game, he received a long-distance call from Scarlett. They talked on the phone for an hour before hanging up reluctantly.
After hanging up, he received an overseas call from China.
Su Feng's father said excitedly on the phone: "Boy, now that my wings are hard, I won't answer my father's calls anymore."
Su Feng quickly shouted that he was wronged and said that he had just been chatting with someone on the phone.
Su's father is in a high mood. It is noon in China now.
"Son, I just watched TV with my uncles and uncles. Everyone is very proud of you playing basketball in the United States. It's very honorable..."
As soon as Su's father raised his voice, Su Feng knew that he was showing off in public.
For Chinese men of Su’s father’s age, showing off is a necessity. It's hard not to show off, especially after you have a little money. Not showing up is like sneaking in the dark in gorgeous clothes.
In the past, it was difficult for Father Su to pretend when chatting with this group of businessmen. After all, Su’s father is just doing some small business and running a small business.
But now, his son is making a name for himself in the United States. CCTV reports every day that CCTV 5 will soon be transformed into Su Feng channel.
And the Internet is talking about how many points Su Feng scored today every day.
The local station even broke through the threshold of the Su Feng family, which is the pride of Zhejiang as a whole.
"Son, you have to play hard and win glory for the country. You shot these few baskets today very well. They have the same style as when I taught you. You see, you have used all the moves I taught you at that time. .”
"So, no step in the world is in vain."
Father Su was a little drunk.
At this time, someone said on the phone: "Su Feng, I am your Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu has a leather shoe brand. Can you shoot an advertisement for Uncle Hu... and let uncle borrow some of the east wind."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm Uncle Ma, why don't we take a photo with you? Our hardware factory is very profitable and is a national brand of excellence..."
"..."
What you said to me on the phone was a mess.
Zhejiang people have a tradition of setting up factories.
Everyone has a business and wants to find Su Feng to promote their products.
But Su Feng didn't have an agent in China, so he turned to Su Feng's father.
Su Feng's father is a smart man, and Su Feng's mother is even smarter.
Although they don't have a lot of money, they are not short of money either. They know that their son's reputation is the most important, and they don't want to jeopardize their son's credibility. There's no problem with eating and drinking and pretending to be cool. If you want to cooperate, you need your son's consent.
So they didn't mention this matter to Su Feng at all.
When the dinner table was in a mess, Su's mother answered the phone. "Son, your father and I will go to the United States to see you next week. If your girlfriend's relationship becomes stable, please come and meet us."
"Eh...ok."
Su Feng nodded.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Su Feng exclaimed, lying on the bed with a smile on his face.
After a while, Jason Thomas called.
He was so excited.
He opened his mouth and said: "Tony, do you know the price Adidas just quoted me?"
Adidas?
Su Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he said casually: "Five million US dollars a year?"
"No!"
Jason Thomas shook his head excitedly. He said: "Six million US dollars a year! And the contract lasts for 10 years. They offered a 10-year contract of 60 million US dollars. And they were willing to pay half of it in one lump sum. Tony! We want to get rich." Now! We are going to be developed!"
Jason Thomas was thrilled.
He simply couldn't imagine that a few months ago, the two of them had encountered obstacles everywhere in trial training. They even had to scrape together air tickets and stayed in the cheapest hotels. Sometimes they only had two slices of bread to eat.
But now, as Su Feng enters the NBA, he is getting better and better as he plays. The money they received could immediately be calculated in tens of millions.
Sixty million!
Jason Thomas had never seen so much money in his dreams.
He wanted to invest the money too much. He didn't want to prove how strong he was. In fact, he wasn't greedy for money. He just wanted to tell the Wall Street elites who kicked him out: I can definitely get back what I lost!
He lost everything in the Internet bubble of the stock market, and now he wants to come back.
He was desperate.
He hoped that Su Feng would quickly agree to the contract.
Because this opportunity cannot be missed, time is money.
However, Su Feng shook his head. Su Feng told him calmly: "Sixty million? Ten years? No, this is too little."
"Just wait a little longer."
Soufon said to Jason Thomas.
Jason Thomas was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Feng refused so decisively and didn't even take into account the 60 million US dollars!
Brother, don’t forget the time when we were poor. At that time, neither of us could find 600 US dollars combined. Now it’s 60 million US dollars!
"Tony, I have to tell you. The reason why they gave such a high offer is entirely because you scored more than 40 points tonight. I checked the NBA data and this is an astonishing number. Do you think you Can we get more than 40 points next? This is already the top."
Jason Thomas was serious from the bottom of his heart: "Perhaps what some basketball experts said is not wrong. After all, LeBron James is the darling of the American media. He can get such high sponsorships because he is an American and his talent too strong……"
Thomas analyzed it to Su Feng. He believes that Su Feng is competing with LeBron James because LeBron James's sponsorship contract is US$92 million.
But that's not the case at all.
Su Feng has no interest in James.
He simply thinks that buying him for 10 years for 60 million US dollars is too much of a loss.
He is infinitely optimistic about his future. He knows what kind of progress he will make next. He knows that he will definitely not become just an elite player. Forty points will never be his end.
"Is this just the beginning? Jason. Just wait, they will update their quotation within a week." Su Feng said firmly: "What's more, we haven't met with Nike in Portland yet."
Although Jason Thomas was anxious, he nodded. The final decision rested with Su Feng. He was just an agent providing advice.
You must be able to distinguish priorities.
After talking on the phone with Jason Thomas, Su Feng started to sleep.
After about 30 minutes of sleep, Su Feng suddenly sat up.
He thought: Why don't I let Larry Bird teach me how to pass tonight?
If I share an emotional connection with him, I can quickly copy his passing talent and experience... just like Scottie Pippen.
After the high-intensity baptism of this game, Su Feng's super layup skills have now been absorbed to 94 points, only one step away from Pippen's peak.
Although his physical talents limit him, he cannot exert the effect that Pippen had in his prime.
However, Su Feng's talent is not static. As long as he finds the next fallen player, he can directly copy it and take off.
But where is the next fallen player?
Su Feng was vaguely looking forward to it.
Early the next morning, they followed the leader on the plane and returned to Chicago.
In Chicago, the Bulls have two consecutive home games.
The NBA schedule is very dense, with 82 games in a season.
Players have little time to relax during this process, so they will seek some short and straightforward excitement.
Such as Eddy Curry.
He was on the plane back to Chicago, talking about the difference between women in Indiana and women in Illinois.
He said categorically: "...We are the same six-foot women, but the one in Indiana is deeper than the one in Illinois. If you don't agree, come and argue!"
Although Tyson Chandler disliked him for not defending on the court, they reached an amazing agreement on this issue: "That's it, Eddie and I had the same test last night. We did an experiment..."
They talked about dirty jokes.
There was a cheerful atmosphere on the plane.
The coaching staff will not care about this, and even the assistant coaches will participate in the discussion.
Defensive coach said: I think Texas is still the deepest.
