The Bulls played very passively, and they were far from being a match for the Denver Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony performed very well, and other players also maintained efficient output under Anthony's leadership.
The Bulls were passive at the beginning, and then continued to be passive.
After enduring for almost a quarter of the game, the fans at the United Center finally didn’t want to endure it anymore. They shouted loudly: “We want Su! Su! Su! Su!”
The whole crowd shouted.
When Americans say 'su', it sounds similar to 'shu'.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was sitting on the sidelines, almost lost his temper. More than 10,000 people in the audience shouted lose! lose! lose!
Can you not lose?
Zhang Xiaofan is the new agent Jason Thomas found for Su Feng. He is Chinese and graduated from the Stanford University Business School. He is a top student among top students. I also worked on Wall Street before, but places like Wall Street have invisible barriers. Although they pretend to be very compatible, it is difficult for Chinese faces, especially Chinese people, to obtain high-level positions here.
So Zhang Xiaofan went it alone. But it didn't work very well.
He has a good relationship with Jason Thomas.
Jason Thomas took a fancy to his Chinese identity, and he has good experience traveling between China and the United States, and his eloquence is also quite good. If Zhang Xiaofan helps with some specific matters, Jason Thomas will be able to deal with investment matters more easily.
When Zhang Xiaofan came to Chicago, Su Feng was deeply involved in trade rumors.
There is currently no official contact between the two, and he bought his own ticket to enter the venue.
Su Feng sat there calmly, with the camera always shaking in front of him. Every time he appeared on the big screen above his head, there would be a burst of cheers.
Sufon's reputation in Chicago is far higher than Scales.
This disgusted Scales.
The louder the cry, the less he wanted Su Feng to play.
He has good reason tonight: Su Feng has just recovered and cannot play for too long.
And, he was waiting for a call.
The Denver Nuggets are unilaterally killing the Bulls. Carmelo Anthony is like a god coming down from the earth. He has a hot touch and gets everything he wants. No one in the Bulls can defend him continuously and effectively.
The sound in the United Center almost broke through the ceiling: Su! Su! Su!
Su Feng has become a totem and their patron saint.
They believe that at this time, only Su Feng playing can save the Bulls.
But Scales just stood still. He stood coldly on the sidelines, like an insensitive person.
Meanwhile, in the Bulls' general manager's office, John Paxson was confirming the final details of the deal.
There's also an icy air about his office, where he's bargaining and using other teams to apply pressure.
He hopes to get more draft picks and let the other side eat Eddie Robinson's long-term garbage contract, and preferably take Antonio Davis away as well.
However, Antonio Davis's salary is too high. His current annual salary is 13.84 million, which is higher than Kobe's annual salary. The Lakers simply do not have such a high salary to match.
In the end, the trading chips between the two parties were: the Lakers sent Rick Fox's expiring contract ($4.8 million a year), Devin George, the 2004 first-round pick, the 2006 first-round pick, plus a $1 million trade exception. gold.
The Chicago Bulls sent Su Feng, Eddie Robinson (5 years and 30 million US dollars plus three years left in this season, Eddie Robinson no longer has the strength to rotate players normally), Scottie Pippen (2 years and 10 million US dollars pension contract) .
There is no doubt that this transaction will make a lot of money for the Bulls.
For only one Su Feng, they received two first-round draft picks and two expiring contracts, and at the same time dumped two of their junk contracts to the Lakers.
John Paxson smiled triumphantly after the league officially confirmed the trade.
He found it unbelievable until the deal was completed. He thought the Lakers were crazy. The Lakers obviously already have Super F4, why are they still chasing Su Feng?
What can Su Feng do if he goes to the Lakers?
Solve his long-distance relationship?
John Paxson stretched and thanked Su Feng in his heart. After all, Su Feng was only a second-round pick, but he had given the team so much in exchange. The team had settled two major salary burdens through this transaction. It's easier to travel light in the future, and there are two first-round picks on the way.
call!
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said in his heart: "Victory!"
…
The game reached the fifth minute of the second quarter. The fans were almost numb with their cheers. The Bulls were already 17 points behind. Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points efficiently. He was about to break his personal scoring record.
Are the Bulls going to help Anthony break his personal scoring record after helping Stephon Marbury break his personal historical record last time?
At this time, the angry fans in the stadium had begun shouting: Fuck Scott! Fu-ck-Scott!
They took their anger out on Scott Scales.
His suppression of Su Feng is well known to everyone.
This made the whole bench very embarrassed.
At this moment, a staff member came up behind Scales and said something softly to Scales.
Skiles immediately stood up, his face full of satisfaction, and he even turned his back to the court to face the audience in a deliberately provocative manner.
"Su!"
He shouted and flirted with Su Feng.
This action of his is very disrespectful.
Su Feng raised his head but did not get up.
Didn't go to him either.
Just looking at him so quietly.
Skiles did not achieve the expected results. He thought that Su Feng would walk up to him and then personally crush the illusion of Su Feng and all the fans.
However, Su Feng did not get up.
He would continue to say: "I want to inform you that you have been traded. Now, you can leave here... I wish you a safe journey."
He looked at Su Feng with a joking look on his face, feeling proud that he had successfully controlled the fate of others.
The bench was in an uproar. They didn't expect Su Feng to be traded away: the team indeed chose the head coach between Tony and the head coach.
Looking at the complacent Scales, they felt the sadness of "the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad". And they all know that after this battle, Skiles' authority in Chicago has become more and more stable, and the locker room will be his decision-making world.
When Su Feng heard this, he smiled.
finally come.
He stood up slowly, looked at Scales, and said lightly: "Your nightmare has begun."
Then, he turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.
The fans were in an uproar when they saw Su Feng exiting the game.
Before Su Feng walked into the tunnel, he once again took off his jersey and gave it to a spectator. This time he even gave his jacket to an enthusiastic female fan.
He walked into the tunnel wearing a vest and shorts and waved goodbye to his Bulls days.
He has no regrets in his Bulls career. He got a stage here and made a name for himself in the league, and his talents and skills were quickly copied and absorbed.
Now, he has the power to take center stage.
Everything is arranged for the best.
He walked into the locker room and got a call from Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson welcomed him to the Los Angeles Lakers over the phone.
Then, Su Feng received two strange phone calls.
One is from Shaquille O'Neal and the other is from Kobe Bryant. They both warmly welcomed Su Feng to join the Lakers. They both regard Su Feng as an important partner.
Su Feng is also looking forward to his next career with the Lakers. The basketball media is reporting on the OK team's battle every day. Now he has to go deep into the trenches.
Everyone is saying that the Lakers will easily win the championship this season and have the most luxurious lineup in NBA history. So...maybe I'll have a chance to steal a Finals MVP from OK?
Su Feng couldn't help but think so, because in the Nike sponsorship contract, the finals MVP trophy was worth tens of millions.
After Nike President Phil Knight got the deal, his first instinct was: Get rich! Su Feng went to Los Angeles, where the media industry could quickly make him a star.
The second reaction was: Could he have stolen the Finals MVP from OK?
…
This deal ignited public opinion in the entire basketball circle.
It became the first shock transaction since the new season.
Suddenly, all sports channels were talking about this deal.
Su Feng's dark horse status this season has long made him a topical player, and the Lakers are the most exposed team in the league. When this deal brought them together, there was an extremely strong chemical reaction.
ESPN gave the deal an A+ grade.
They thought it was a win-win situation. Chicago cleared space and got the draft pick. Compared with the second-round pick they paid to get Su Feng, this was a business that was sure to make money without losing money.
The Los Angeles Lakers are also considered to have made money, because the Lakers are not short of money. Previously, many football commentators were worried about this Super Galaxy Battleship...their lineup was too aging and there were no young people. Now Su Feng is gone.
Of course, some people think that the Bulls made a stupid deal. Su Feng is obviously a player who can become the core of the team in the future, but they gave it to the Lakers at such a low price.
At the same time, some people feel that the Lakers have suffered a loss. Because the Lakers already have an OK combination, there is no need to trade another potential star, and there is no ball rights and space to cultivate him.
When public opinion was flying, Su Feng took the lockbox and got on the plane to Los Angeles. Next to him were Scottie Pippen and Eddie Robinson.
Scottie Pippen had already negotiated a buyout contract with the Bulls and just had to sign it. He wanted to retire with the Bulls and maintain their last dignity.
Who knew the Bulls would trade him directly.
This broke Pippen's heart.
Pippen earned tens of millions less than other stars of the same level throughout his career. This is because he signed with the Bulls for seven years at a low salary during his peak period. When Jordan earned 30 million, he only earned 2 million.
Originally, the Bulls' last contract was somewhat of a compensation. Little did he know that the Bulls were unwilling to give him the final compensation and dumped him directly to Los Angeles.
He was holding back his anger.
On the plane to Los Angeles, still livid.
Compared to the angry Eddie Robinson and the smug Su Feng, Eddie Robinson is very calm. For him, where can he not sit on the bench? Maybe he can still get a championship ring in Los Angeles. Even if he is bought out, he has nothing to lose. He has a clear understanding of his current strength.
"Tony, the weather in Los Angeles is much better than in Chicago. The cold wind is howling in Chicago, but the winter in Los Angeles is still very warm." Eddie Robinson said to Su Feng: "I have long thought about settling down in Los Angeles."
Su Feng echoed: "That's great."
He didn't know what to talk about either.
He is not interested in the weather, culture, tourism, etc. of Los Angeles.
In contrast, Scarlett was even more excited.
When she learned that Su Feng was going to play in Los Angeles, her excitement almost shattered the receiver of her phone.
She couldn't wait to have sex with Su Feng'er until death.
Therefore, before Su Feng boarded the plane, she had firmly memorized the arrival time of the flight, and she was going to the airport to greet Su Feng in person.
"Tony, the Los Angeles media said that you are a heartthrob. They also said that you are the Beckham of basketball, and gave you the nickname 'Charming Hollywood Killer'. It seems that they are very optimistic about your success in the circle of Hollywood female stars. As a matter of fact."
Robinson continued to tease: "Hollywood female stars most like to find sports stars as boyfriends, but they usually like to find football players. Tony, you must fight for our basketball community."
Su Feng smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Scottie Pippen slapped his thigh beside him and said: "I have decided not to retire. Tony, I want to win the championship, I want to help you become a superstar, and we must slap Chicago in the face." , we have to make Scales a joke!”
Pippen was very determined, and his tone was full of murderous intent.
Robinson was even startled.
Su Feng reached out and gave Pippen a high-five. He said, "I agree with you."
Later, Pippen analyzed Su Feng: "The Lakers traded two small forwards. This is your opportunity. Phil Jackson likes to entrust small forwards with important tasks. Your organizational skills and your ball-handling ability will Let you become the new organizer of Los Angeles. When the opponent's defense focuses on Kobe and O'Neal, you can improve your skills with ease..."
Pippen patiently and carefully analyzed the prospects for Su Feng.
Meanwhile, Magic Johnson showed up at the Los Angeles Airport, along with Lakers general manager Kupchak and Buss family member Jeanie Buss.
Because the Lakers are still playing away games, this welcoming lineup represents the Lakers' highest sincerity towards Su Feng.
When Magic Johnson was interviewed by reporters, he spoke highly of Su Feng: "I think he can play point guard. The media analysis was very correct. He has Isiah's dribbling and Bird's passing. "
"You have to know, I competed against them the most throughout my career, and I know them very well. Su Feng mastered these two skills very solidly. So, when Kupchak asked me about this deal, I said: Gotta get him, no matter what the cost.”
"I know some people are talking about paying first-round picks. Come on! When we keep winning championships, the value of first-round picks will depreciate over and over again. It means nothing."
"We are not a Super Galaxy Battleship now, we are a Super Super Galaxy Battleship!"
"Looking at the entire history of the NBA, no team's starting lineup can be compared to what we have now. We have five all-time greats."
The magician said very boldly and confidently.
