Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 90
In the end, the Bulls defeated the Lakers with a huge advantage of "126:108" and 18 points.

此役，周宇数据依然亮眼，共拿下23分、7篮板、8助攻；奥尼尔得到27分、11篮板、5盖帽；科比也有20分、5助攻入账。

However, Jordan scored 56 points alone and almost wiped out the Lakers by himself, which once again shocked the world with his powerful dominance.

After the game, Harris did not blame the players too much. He also knew in his heart that the Lakers are still a young team after all, and it is a bit unrealistic to quickly win the Bulls, an old strong team.

Not long after, Jordan took the initiative to shake hands and hug Kobe and Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect these two to be ungrateful.

"Jordan, don't think it's great to score more than 50 points. I'll show you 80 points sooner or later!"

Kobe said bitterly.

"Brother Joe, the Bulls just beat us by luck. Don't be complacent. We will sweep you out in the finals. Just wait and see."

Zhou Yu sneered.

"It's good for young people to have ideals, but don't be too arrogant."

Jordan shrugged, a little helplessly.

"Nonsense! Don't you call yourself a young man with arrogance!"

Zhou Yu and Kobe responded with crisp voices at the same time.

Jordan sighed. He had prepared a few beautiful words to encourage the younger generation, but they didn't come out.

When he turned around and returned to his team, his nose was suddenly poked by a hard object. He took a closer look and saw that a female reporter with a badge was about to interview him.

"Milk, what do you think of Wang Zhizhi and Kobe, the two rookies of the 96 golden generation, how did they perform in this game?"

The female reporter raised her head and asked with great interest.

"These two brats are nothing but big talkers."

Jordan was not in a good mood.

"Do you think the Lakers will become a strong opponent for the Bulls on their way to the championship this season?"

The female reporter was taken aback, and then asked.

"They are not worthy, even after I retire, they are not qualified to compete for the championship."

Jordan responded decisively.

The female reporter felt that Jordan seemed to have taken gunpowder, so she quickly retracted the microphone and whispered to another colleague who was carrying the camera:
"Putting this episode out for a while will damage Jordan's prestige of caring for the next generation."

Just when the Lakers were packing up their things and preparing to leave the arena, David Stern suddenly came and shook hands with the players one by one, which flattered the Lakers.

"President, you are here this time because you have something important to announce. We are willing to listen carefully."

Harris said in trepidation.

"It's nothing, I just think that your Lakers have performed well recently and have brought a significant increase in NBA ratings, so come here to express condolences."

Stern smiled lightly.

"President, is it true that our team members fight or drive drunk in private? If so, please tell me directly, and I will definitely deal with it strictly."

Harris still asked a little worried.

"No, Lao Ha, don't worry, your players are very obedient and are about to become NBA moral models."

Stern patted Harris on the shoulder and comforted him with kind words.

Afterwards, Stern looked around and finally landed on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's heart trembled. This NBA helm who resounded all over the world seemed amiable and harmless to humans and animals, but he gave people a sense of calmness and prestige.

"Your name is Wang Zhizhi. You are from the Bayi Team of China. You are 2.14 meters tall and weigh 125 kilograms. You are a power forward, right?"

Stern looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and said like a treasure.

I rely on!As soon as these words came out, the other team members immediately attracted envious eyes. Being so concerned by the president undoubtedly proved Zhou Yu's importance in Stern's heart. This is the rhythm of the fire!
Zhou Yu just wanted to nod his head and say "yes", but Kobe suddenly stepped forward and introduced himself loudly:

"Report to the president. My name is Kobe Bryant. I am 1.98 meters tall and weigh 96 kilograms. I work as a shooting guard. Although I have lived in Italy for a while, I love my motherland - the United States of America..."

Before Kobe finished speaking, O'Neill covered his mouth and pulled him aside:
"Brother, the President didn't ask you again, it's very rude of you to do so."

"I know, but I just don't understand why Wang Zhizhi is always favored by so many people."

Kobe was panting heavily, out of breath.

"There are so many things you don't understand. You just need to be loved by Qin Xue alone. She can give birth to you, and other people's love is useless."

O'Neill said kindly.

Stern then praised Zhou Yu's skills without hesitation, calling him "the light of Asia" and "the hope for the rise of Chinese basketball".

It can be said to be a great honor to be praised by the CEO face to face. Immediately, many reporters flocked to take pictures, and Zhou Yu couldn't open his eyes because of the dazzling flash.

In fact, in order to praise Wang Zhizhi, Stern originally planned to ask for his sweaty jersey on the spot, but he had to give up temporarily because of the feelings of other stars.

After the reporters dispersed, Stern leaned over and whispered to Zhou Yu:
"Wang, although your football skills are good, many stars have reported that you have been rude and spouted trash on the field."

Zhou Yu shuddered when he heard the words. Talking trash can be big or small. If the CEO is dissatisfied, he may end badly.

Just about to explain a few words, I heard Stern smiled indifferently:
"But don't worry, I dismissed them all with 'basketball reasons'."

Zhou Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. For Kobe and Paul, the words "basketball reason" were lingering pain. Unexpectedly, Stern had already brewed it when Kobe first entered the industry.

"As long as you are willing to make more contributions to the development of the NBA, a little problem is nothing."

Stern then solemnly promised.

Zhou Yu nodded subconsciously. After he left, he felt lingering fear. Stern's words seemed to be both encouragement and threat. If he didn't do what he wanted, he might settle old and new grievances together.

After the battle with the Bulls, the Lakers' record became 23 wins and 3 losses. Although they still rank first in the Western Conference, it may not be so easy to catch up with the Bulls with 25 wins and 1 loss.

Next, there will be another back-to-back road trip. The Lakers will rush to Milwaukee non-stop to challenge the Bucks.

The Bucks' No. 94 pick "Big Dog" Robinson and Ray Allen, the No. 96 pick of the 6 golden generation, are considered to have certain strengths, but unfortunately, they caught up with the Lakers who had just suffered a disastrous defeat and were eager for revenge. Under the bombardment of the three men, O'Neill and O'Neill, the Bucks were defeated in one fell swoop.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bucks with a huge advantage of "121:105" and 16 points without bloodshed.

After the game, Zhou Yu quietly found Ray Allen, and earnestly persuaded him to join the Lakers and fight for the championship together.

"Wang, I know you have good intentions, and I also know that the Bucks are at best a fringe team in the playoffs, and they don't have the strength to hit the championship at all. But you Lakers already have you and Kobe Bryant. Rookie, what am I doing in the past, do I want to help you look after the drinking fountains and clean up?"

Ray Allen sighed and said bluntly.

Zhou Yu was at a loss for words for a while, after all, Ray Allen didn't want to go to the Lakers as a substitute, and he wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Ray Allen had already left without looking back.

"Your uncle, isn't it an honor for you to form a team with Garnett and Pierce to win the championship together?!" Zhou Yu secretly complained.

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
