Sprewell was nicknamed Madman.
Gu Long said that a person's name may be wrong, but his nickname will definitely not be wrong.
Sprewell has an arrogant personality and often makes rude remarks. He rarely takes others seriously.
People often say that character determines destiny, and Sprewell is a good example. When he first debuted, he was brilliant and was once called the best shooting guard in the league. He took advantage of the time when Jordan retired to rise quickly, and there was a faint trend of being tied with Grant Hill back then.
However, as his true nature is exposed, he becomes less and less valued. The league also had no interest in promoting a star with obvious character flaws, so he gradually disappeared from the superstar stage. Rising stars surpassed him one by one. When the media ranked the top four shooting guards, they did not consider him on the list at all. .
Now is the golden age of outsiders. Kobe, Carter, Iverson, and McGrady are all star-studded. They enjoy the brightest spotlight in the post-Jordan era. Now the new generation has the emergence of the chosen ones like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
It's not a huge blow to Sprewell, who is now even starting to worry about the next contract extension: he wants a pension contract with an average annual salary of 15 million.
When a reporter asked him: "What do you think about the growing number of new-generation star guards? Have you paid attention to the Bulls' rookie Su Feng? He has performed very well recently. He won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week for two consecutive weeks. Highest score for a rookie..."
"who?"
Sprewell frowned.
"Su Feng, Tony Su! The Bulls' rookie this year, it is said that Nike is going to give him an endorsement contract. He will become another star defender with a signature shoe." The reporter was a bit suspicious of provoking trouble.
Sprewell was furious.
"So, do you think such a cat or dog can pose a threat to me in the game?"
“我看过他的录像带，他除了长着一副好面孔之外有什么值得称道的？我不知道你们这些媒体造星的意义，就因为他善于谈恋爱？就因为他在街头揍了两A gangster?"
"Athletes let their games speak for themselves. With a player of his caliber, I can beat him anytime, anywhere. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, whether here or anywhere with a basketball hoop."
"I don't mean to discriminate against anyone, but yellow skin is not suitable for playing basketball, especially not suitable for appearing at the second and third positions."
"I will expose the illusions of you media. Don't always think about creating stars. Focus your spotlight on players who really have strength."
"Tony Su, I'm sorry, I will destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you. It is you who have suffered a lot of undue adulation."
Sprewell spoke condescendingly like a judge on TV, and he was as arrogant as if he was giving a verdict to Su Feng.
Su Feng's fists clenched, he was very angry.
The madman's arrogance and arrogance are all challenging his dignity, and he will give a response in tomorrow night's game.
This guy must not be allowed to say what he says.
We'll see.
Although Su Feng is not very strong now, his spirit is extremely high. Even though he is a nice guy, if you step on his faults, he is very difficult to deal with.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on Su Feng's door.
"Hey, Tony. I'm taking you to play."
Eddy Curry's face came up, his plump face was full of smiles.
"I'm not interested in the women who come to my door." Su Feng waved his hand and said to Curry: "Have fun yourself."
"No, brother. I'll take you to a better place to play. Hey, how about visiting a castle made of candy?" Eddy Curry said seductively.
"Now?" Su Feng asked.
"Yes. Now." Eddy Curry said with certainty, and then he took Su Feng downstairs. He made a phone call. After a while, an extended Lincoln parked in front of them, and the two of them got in.
A luxury car is good and has a lot of space.
Even with such a huge body, Eddy Curry didn't feel uncomfortable sitting in it. He even stretched out his hand to greet another huge giant in the co-pilot: "Hey, how are you doing? Michael. This is my little brother, Tony."
He introduced the giant man in the front row.
Su Feng stretched out his hand and greeted him. This man looked burlier and stronger than Eddy Curry, with a beard on his face and a very fierce look.
However, when the two of them held their hands together, he showed a childlike smile. "Hello, Tony, I'm a Scarlett fan. Nice to meet you."
Su Feng suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Recently, some NBA players like to greet him like this. I don’t know how Scarlett has so many fans in the NBA.
"Tony, do you know Chinese Kung Fu? Do you know Jackychan? I'm a big fan of his." Michael in front danced with exaggerated movements.
How could Su Feng know Jackie Chan?
Su Feng smiled.
As the car drove forward, Su Feng couldn't find a chance to ask who Michael was. He guessed that such a huge figure should be an NBA player, most likely a Timberwolves player.
Eddy Curry has friends all over the world. He probably knows everyone.
The car soon drove into a castle-style villa in the suburbs.
These days, no poor person can play in the NBA. Especially those with the height and build of a center are richer. In today's league, although it is defenders who enjoy the spotlight, when negotiating contracts, insiders have more ability to pay a premium.
Everyone firmly believes that those who have the inside track will win the world.
After getting out of the car and entering the castle, Michael took Eddy Curry and Su Feng straight to his 'Sweet Castle'.
As soon as he walked in, Su Feng was stunned.
There is about half a training hall, and it is like a super supermarket, filled with all kinds of candies, snacks, and drinks.
Su Feng has been in the NBA for so long, and he has seen many players who indulge in debauchery and debauchery.
However, Su Feng had never seen this kind of indulgence.
Eddy Curry was actually very happy. The two of them sped towards a pile of snacks and jumped in. A mountain of snacks buried their huge bodies.
This picture is a bit... funny, very weird.
After all, these are two big centers who are 2.13 meters tall and weigh more than 300 kilograms. They pounce on the mountain of snacks like children.
this….
Su Feng felt that it was more reasonable for the two of them to pounce on Bai Huahua's lap.
Su Feng turned his head, and he looked at Michael's butler who also had an embarrassed expression.
He also felt that the style of painting was too bizarre.
Su Feng decided not to disturb the happiness of these two people, and he and the housekeeper walked outside the door.
The butler's name is Naxon, and he is also a black man, with very, very dark skin. The blackness of black people here in the United States is actually not as dark as that in Africa. In the NBA, many black people even look like white people...such as Jason Kidd.
Su Feng chatted with him at the door.
During the conversation, Su Feng learned that Naxon was a Nigerian. He had worked as a servant in Michael's house when he was very young. As Michael became famous in the NBA, he came here to become Michael's housekeeper.
Through the conversation with Naxon, Su Feng finally remembered who this tall Michael was.
Michael Olowokandi.
The famous parallel import number one pick, the first overall pick in 1998. Nicknamed Sugar Man, he and Kwame Brown are known as the two major parallel imports.
Before Su Feng participated in the draft, he saw a report dedicated to parallel imports in the famous "Sports Illustrated" magazine. There were pictures on it, but Su Feng really didn't think about it.
There are more than 400 players in the NBA, and Su Feng cannot be deeply impressed by every player.
Moreover, Michael Olowokandi has almost no sense of existence except for his reputation as a parallel importer. Su Feng didn't even know that he was already a Timberwolves player. Wasn't he selected by Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor?
In that report, Michael Olowokandi was described as a super genius with extraordinary talents. It was said that his physical fitness was extremely amazing and his family was in good condition. He was born in a family of Nigerian diplomats. Moreover, he only began to receive formal basketball training at the age of 17. At the University of the Pacific, he performed well in the first season, was injured in the second season, and made a killing in the third season.
Because there was once a Nigerian center who had a similar growth experience to him. He did not receive formal basketball training until he was 17 or 18 years old. He eventually became a superstar and helped the Rockets win two championship trophies.
With such a precedent, Baylor is naturally more confident. In the 1998 draft, he ignored Vince Carter, Jamison, Nowitzki, Pierce... and resolutely selected Michael Olowokandi.
Everyone knows the story behind it.
Michael Olowokandi, who is taller than Olajuwon, has a longer wingspan than Olajuwon, and has better physical talent than Olajuwon, has become even more ruthless after entering the league. On the offensive end, he does not only rush and grab. Apart from offensive rebounds and layups, he has no other offensive means.
He scored eight points and six rebounds in his rookie season. The only honor in his career was the second team in his rookie season.
However, Michael Olowokandi played well last season. With his excellent physical fitness, he averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game last season. So in the offseason, he asked the Timberwolves and Lions that he would have to stay for 1 year in 7 years. billion dollars.
The Timberwolves are a bit taken advantage of, but he's not stupid.
Olowokandi's management team also made some early moves, and finally accepted the three-year, $16 million contract offered by the Timberwolves.
After all, Michael Olowokandi has no other hobbies, he just loves eating sweets, drinking drinks, and not training seriously.
This kind of play can never be spent in a lifetime.
The friendship between Eddy Curry and Michael Olowokandi stems from the fact that they had the same teacher in the offseason, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
They all claim to be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's students, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will never admit it.
Eddy Curry has learned some real skills. He has good offensive talent and a soft touch.
Not only does Olowokandi have mediocre offensive talent, he doesn't practice. His trainer once said publicly: I have never seen such a lazy and lazy person.
In the area of depravity, Olowokandi has also come up with his own new style.
He doesn't play with women, doesn't touch contraband, doesn't gamble, doesn't drink alcohol... he just enjoys eating and being lazy.
A breath of fresh air in the NBA's decadent community.
In his discussion with Su Feng, Naxon repeatedly mentioned: "Michael is a good kid. I grew up watching him. He doesn't have any bad intentions. The vanity fair of the NBA is so bad. It targets him everywhere, even His teammates laughed at him. This is a jungle society, and the media are bad guys who eat people without spitting out their bones."
When he learned that Su Feng was an NBA player, he kindly reminded: "You must be careful not to let those media label you. They like to lift people up and then throw them down hard."
Su Feng understands this deeply.
Although he has not been in the league for a long time, he knows how fierce the competition in the NBA is. Not just competing against opponents, but also competing in the locker room. The media are also keen to get involved, fanning the flames and creating all kinds of news.
About an hour later, Eddy Curry ran over and called Su Feng: "Hey, Tony, come in quickly. There are limited edition candies here, why don't you try them?"
Eddy Curry's face was full of happiness, and the fat all over his body could not be hidden.
Su Feng finally knew why Little Shark was so fat.
I finally know why Olowokandi is nicknamed Sugar Man.
Sure enough, there was only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname.
Another reason why Olowokandi is called Candy is because the pronunciation of his name "Candy" is very similar to Candy.
Olowokandi enthusiastically shared his various candies with Su Feng and introduced his 'proud collection' to Su Feng.
Although Su Feng is not interested in candies, he is willing to praise him when he talks about something he is proud of.
This made Olowokandi very happy and insisted on giving Su Feng some treasures.
Then, he asked the chef to cook delicious Nigerian food for the two of them.
The three of them were sitting in the living room eating sweets and watching TV.
The news that Su Feng had watched in the hotel was played on the TV again, and Sprewell's arrogant and domineering attitude was replayed on the TV.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, after all, Olowokandi is a Timberwolves player.
But at this moment, Olowokandi sat over and patted Su Feng on the shoulder: "Tony, the player I hate most is Sprewell. Ding, he thinks he is a superstar. You must kill him tomorrow night!"
His expression was angry, as if he shared the same hatred with the enemy.
At this time, their emotions were connected.
Something unexpected happened to Su Feng at this moment...
…
