After the McDonald's All-Star Game, more and more reports about Dai Fei were reported.

"Ray beats all the new stars to win the John Wooden Award!"

“The first Asian to win the John Wooden Award!”

"Kron Plateau Stadium, the courageous boy turns into a magical boy!"

In the United States, many media have reported on "Wonderful Boy Ray".

After a wave of media craze, Dai Fei's ranking of high school students in the United States in espn suddenly rose.

From No. 68 to No. 23!

Although he rose by 45 places, he was still much behind his defeated opponents.

This is the gap in physical talent, a gap.

On the other side of the ocean, sports media such as CCTV Sports, Xinlang.com, and Sohu.com have reported this news.

The magical boy Dai Fei is already very famous for his previous reports. Now he surpasses many foreign star high school students to win MVP, and is even more sought after by domestic media.

"The future star of the Chinese men's basketball team!"

This is the media’s praise for Dai Fei!

When the media interviewed the national team head coach Zhang Bin, his comments were as follows:

"Dai Fei? Very good! He is a very good seedling. Our national team needs such a defender who dares to attack. I believe that as long as he grows a few centimeters taller, he will have a chance to enter high-level leagues such as NBA. I am very much looking forward to seeing his growth."

Although it was not stated clearly, Zhang Bin guided these professionals to tell Dai Fei about his height or something.

The reporter interviewed did not have those enlightenment, but continued to ask:

"Guide Zhang, will you recruit Dai Fei to join the national men's basketball team to prepare for this summer's men's basketball Asian Championship?"

"Haha, this is a very good offer."

There was a faint smile on Director Zhang's face, and anyone could tell that it was just a polite smile, just a polite smile.

However, media people took all this seriously.

The subsequent report was as follows:

"The youngest national team member is about to be born!"

"Dai Fei will join the team to participate in the Asian Championships of Riyadh Men's Basketball Team!"

"Let us look forward to the day Dai Fei competes for the national team together!"

Catching the wind and shadows, following the flow, swarming in...

The media just likes these.

Dai Fei, who was only eighteen years old, suddenly pushed the national team.

Domestic fans actually believed it and began to look forward to the arrival of that day.

Dai Fei, who is abroad, doesn't know about this.

He is busy.

April 25th, this is Rachel’s birthday, her 18th birthday.

Jeff Hornersek was going to play but couldn't come back.

At Old Ham's house, I simply held a small banquet this time, and the formal coming-of-age ceremony had to wait until Hornersec finished his work.

Although the banquet was very simple, just like family members, Rachel was very happy.

Because she received 18 birthday gifts from Dai Fei.

The other seventeen gifts are for the 17 birthdays I missed before.

Every gift has its special meaning, which is the meaning of growth.

Listening to Dai Fei's introduction one by one, Rachel held her hands in her heart, her eyes full of emotion.

The eighteenth gift is a pair of beautiful crystal shoes.

Dai Fei bent down and put on crystal high heels for Rachel.

With a princess bun, paired with a white dress and high heels, Rachel's figure is full of beauty at this moment.

Dai Fei was very satisfied with Rachel's beautiful image.

"Qiuqiu, you are the Snow White in my heart."

"Fei, you're so nice."

Regardless of Old Ham and the others present, Rachel rushed to Dai Fei and gave a fragrant kiss.

…

Dai Fei heard the news that he was going to join the national team for the first time after hearing about his news of joining the national team.

"Really? Can I join the national team?"

When Dai Fei heard the news, he was naturally extremely excited.

"It's certainly good to be able to join the national team. It's a huge honor to be able to contribute to the national team. I have no choice but to fight for honor for the country!"

Seeing Dai Fei looking forward to it, Director Zhang did not tell any other industry news.

Dai Fei has clearly proved that he is better than many American high school students. However, those people still hold on to Dai Fei's height, which is a bit stubborn.

You know, our national team played very badly with other high school student Kobe last year.

Dai Fei crushed all the celebrity high school students, why can't it?

Moreover, don’t we have a 172-type attack guard like Gong Zhi? Why is Dai Fei, a 175-type attack guard, still a slam dunk guard, not?

Guidance Zhang has a system, registration, and other reasons, but why should the tricks be put on a 17-year-old child?

Instead of bringing the worries of himself and Dai Fei’s parents to Dai Fei, Director Zhang patted Dai Fei on the shoulder and encouraged Dai Fei.

"Very good, Xiao Dai! The country needs talents like you! When you arrive at the national team, you will definitely shine. I am very much looking forward to that day."

"Ok!"

Looking at Dai Fei's confident look with thumbs up, Director Zhang's face was filled with a warm smile.

'That day, you will definitely make those people look at you with admiration!'

.

Director Zhang came in a hurry and left in a hurry. It seemed that he was busy every day.

Dai Fei was still very happy about the good news brought by Director Zhang.

It is truly supreme glory to be able to win glory for the country.

After Director Zhang left, Rachel also brought good news to Dai Fei.

Before, because of their good grades in the college entrance examination, Dai Fei and Rachel were both worried about choosing a university again.

Rachel has his own goals at the University of Southern California and Arizona State University, which are all good universities in journalism and media majors.

This time, Rachel brought good news that could help Dai Fei solve his problems.

There are scouts and coaches coming.

This is not for Dai Fei's results, but for Dai Fei's football skills.

Dai Fei has never made a choice and has not liked famous schools like Harvard, just thinking about whether to go to a stronger NCAA team with stronger competition.

Although it will make you feel more accomplished when you take a weak team like Harvard, why do you have to spend so much effort if you can choose a high starting point?

Dai Fei received a lot of people in the next days, and he had many choices in the future.

NCAA giants like North Carolina and Duke are among them, such as Kentucky and Kansas, as well as the newly-resurgent University of Utah, these are all very good NCAA strong schools.

However, the scouts from the NBA have made Dai Fei's university choice not settled for a long time.

ncaa?

nba?

‘This is an important choice in Dai Fei’s life!’

.

The media trend was soon covered up by the NBA playoff craze.

In the 1996-97 season, the Bulls were the only one in the East, but the competition in the West was particularly fierce.

The Lakers of the Sharks, Big3's Fire-Mosaic-Arrow and last year's Western Conference Champions Gloves Rainman led the Supersonics, which are all very powerful championship teams.

But none of them became the protagonist.

This season, the leader of the West is the Utah Jazz who has been dormant for many years.

In the regular season, the Utah Jazz doubled the defending champion Bulls, achieving the best record in the Western Conference with 65 wins and the best record in the Jazz.

The team's star insider Carl Malone also snatched the regular season MVP from Michael Jordan that season.

It can be said that the Jazz are the top 0-level championship team this season with the Bulls.

The Jazz and the three teams mentioned above also staged a "Four Dragons Playing with the Pearl" in the playoffs this year.

In the first round, four teams easily defeated their opponents and entered the semi-finals.

In the Western Conference semi-finals, the four teams also joined forces to present two bloody series to fans at that time.

First, the third-ranked Fire-Mosaic-Arrow in the West at that time met the second-ranked Supersonic in the West.

In last year's Western Conference semifinals, the Seattleman played Houston without any temper.

However, the arrival of Charles Barkley gave the Houstonians the capital to defeat any opponent that season.

The two teams fought seven games in the semi-finals, and finally the "Three Olds in Houston" won the bloody hand-to-hand fight.

Another showdown took place between the Utah Jazz in the West and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West that year.

In the past few years, the Utahs have always been a "good kid" who only understands the "beauty of adulthood".

Although their strength has always been good, even though they have the will of heaven and earth, they have no way to escape from things.

Although there are many past events in NBA history that are running around for the championship, Carl Malone and John Stockton at this time do not believe in the principle of "people move to live, trees move to die".

And in the 1997 playoffs, their perseverance finally paid off.

In the Western Conference semi-finals, facing the Sharks led by the league's strongest center O'Neal, the experienced Jazz gave these young backups a lesson, a very profound lesson.

As soon as the Jazz came up, they gave the opponent 2-0 directly.

The Jazz Two Devils dominated the game.

Although O'Neal is very strong, in front of Carl Malone and John Stockton, he still became a "good boy" with "adult beauty".

In the third game in the critical game, the Lakers performed poorly at home, and when the Lakers were preparing to counterattack, someone from the Jazz stood up again.

Death Gun, Jeff Hornersek

Hornasek stood up and took over the game when the black and white evil spirits were weak.

He made a shot inside and outside, although his movements were not so cool and even a little staggering, he could always throw those balls in.

Scored 40 points!

Hornersek led the old Jazz to withstand the impact of the young Lakers.

Although the young player Kobe came on as a substitute against Hornasek and scored the Lakers' highest 23 points, it did not bring the Lakers back to life.

In the fourth game, most of the Lakers, whose situation was overwhelming, gave up resistance.

Only the stubborn Kobe wanted to chase points on his own at the last moment when O'Neal was sent off.

But he was just a man after all, and he was powerless to bring good fortune.

His stubbornness did not bring him good luck, but instead his four consecutive hollow three-pointers outside the basket became a joke in the media.

In the end, 4-0, the Jazz swept the Los Angeles Lakers without giving the young Lakers a slight chance.

.

Dai Fei was very moved when he looked at Kobe's unwilling eyes on TV.

One is because of the wings of the little butterfly. In the semifinals of the Jazz and Lakers, the score was supposed to be 4-1, but it turned into a 4-0 sweep.

The Jazz seemed to have become stronger, and his cheap father-in-law seemed to have become even more deadly than he had imagined.

This shocked Dai Fei, and at the same time, he was looking forward to his future.

‘If I enter NBA, will it become even more different?’

On the other hand, Dai Fei was indeed moved by Kobe.

Originally, it was just three and three, but now it has become four and three.

And Kobe's stubborn expression was even more serious!

Dai Fei also had to sigh:

‘Chat is chatting!’

Old Ham, who watched the game together, nodded repeatedly, and did not forget to teach the two boys around him.

"In that case, do you dare to take action like him?"

Old Ham looked at Wade.

Wade thought for a moment, but shook his head.

"I probably won't do that. At that time, I should pass the ball to Ray."

When he heard "should not be", Old Ham wanted to praise Wade's selflessness and team spirit, but when he heard the last "ray brother", Old Ham rolled his eyes and looked at Dai Fei.

"ray, where are you?"

"I will!"

Dai Fei nodded without hesitation.

"This is the psychological quality that a great scorer must possess. Even if I don't make ten thousand times, I will still dare to take action next time. If I don't have such courage and confidence, how can I surpass Michael Jordan? Old Ham, do you think so?"

“hen~”

Old Ham smiled softly and nodded.

"Very good, very good, Dwayne, ray, you both are very outstanding basketball players. You all have your own basketball understanding. I can't make any comments on your choices. What I want to say is that you are all very good. If you follow your own ideas, you will all be dazzling stars."

‘Bright star’?

Dai Fei and Wade looked at each other, and their eyes were full of brilliance.

.

A few days later, the Western Conference Finals started.

Houston big3 is really strong, but the Jazz this year is at its peak and unstoppable.

Both sides played particularly fiercely in the first four games, but the Jazz had the upper hand, 3-1!

In the fifth game, the Houstonians fought to the death and wanted to pull the Jazz off the horse.

Both sides played very anxiously in this game. At the most critical moment, Hornasek stood up.

In the last 6.6 seconds, the two sides tied 100!

In the Jazz's offensive round, the Houstonians fought desperately to drag into overtime.

Beep!

Hornersek sent the ball, and Stockton and Malone formed a pick-and-roll on the wing.

The pick-and-roll of the black and white double evil spirits has been perfect.

But at this critical moment, this perfect trick made a mistake!

A mistake!

Drexler slapped Stockton's pass to Malone.

The ball flew to the center line.

Time is about to pass!

Overtime!

Overtime that Houstonians want most is coming soon!

However, at this time, someone chased after the ball quickly.

Jeff Hornersek!

Near the center line, Hornasek desperately rescued the ball that was about to return, and the time is coming soon!

After jumping out of the center line, Hornersek grabbed the ball in the air and twisted it to the basket awkwardly.

The basketball flew out high.

Boom!!!

The attack time is up.

The ball was flying high, while the Jazz was sitting at home with tens of thousands of people in the center of the Delta suddenly became quiet.

The big3s of the Houstonians have already high-fives each other, celebrating a successful defense.

But, after a moment,

Bang!

This sound almost shattered the heart of Fliggy Buckley, who was still celebrating just now.

Seeing the basketball fly, Barkley celebrated it with confidence this time.

“It’s overtime!”

However, as Barkley had just finished speaking, he found that Olajuwon's face had changed.

In that moment, the scene suddenly exploded.

"yeah!!!!!!"

The game is over!

Hornasek was pressed under his body by his excited teammates.

Ribbons are flying all over the sky, and the center of the Delta has become a sea of ​​joy.

"We're here in the finals!"

Countless Jazz fans shouted loudly, almost overturning the ceiling of the stadium.

The Jazz made historic advance to the NBA Finals, and the entire Salt Lake City was celebrating this historic moment with mercy. However, the naughty God played a big joke with them this time, and the sad fate of the Utahs had just begun.

…

"Yeah, daddy is the best!"

"We're here in the finals!"

The Jazz entered the finals and the most excited person was Rachel.

Especially when she saw her father defeating her opponent, she was even more excited. Her admiration for her father even more.

"Fei, this time, we Jazz will definitely win the championship, are you right?"

Nodding without hesitation, Dai Fei said very approvingly:

"It's definitely OK! With our dad here, there will be no game that cannot be won."

"Yes, Dad said he wanted to treat the championship as my coming-of-age gift. I believe he will definitely be able to do it!"

Seeing Rachel's expectant eyes, Dai Fei couldn't bear to hit him.

‘Maybe, this finals will be different, maybe it may be.’

.

The cheerful Utah Jazz's opponent in the finals that season was the defending champion - the "Son of Chosen" Chicago Bulls.

The classic level of the Bulls and Jazz is enough to be called the second largest epic showdown in history.

In the first game, Michael Jordan won the first home court with a wonderful finale.

And in the second game, the Utahs were rushing to catch up with the double-digit score difference, and they didn't get any chance from the Chicagoans in the whole game.

2-0

This is a very bad start for the Jazz.

However, after returning to Salt Lake City, they quickly bottomed out and rebounded. With Carl Malone's continued strength, they won two consecutive games and tied the total score 2-2.

Next, what we need to look at is the battle for the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Whoever can seize the Tianwang Mountain will completely take the initiative on the road to the championship.

.

On June 10, the day before the fifth game of the finals, there was a rare cloudy weather in Salt Lake City.

In the plateau area, there is no harsh sunlight, and the temperature is only about 25 degrees, so it feels quite cool.

Dai Fei and Rachel walked hand in hand on the quaint campus path of the University of Utah.

They are about to graduate, and took advantage of this opportunity to watch the NBA finals to visit the lives of college students.

The University of Utah is located at the foot of the Wasage Ridge Mountains in Salt Lake City. It was founded in 1850 and is a world-renowned public research university.

The University of Utah is indeed one of the oldest universities, with many new buildings inside, but it cannot hide the majesty of those ancient teaching buildings.

Seeing other men and women snuggling each other on the grass, Dai Fei smiled and said to Rachel:

"Qiuqiu, I'm a little looking forward to my college life."

Rachel's face was red, but she agreed.

"So too."

A beautiful university life is true freedom. Which young man and woman will not yearn for it?

After taking a walk around the University of Utah, Dai Fei, who had never been to college, naturally had a very longing for this place.

In my memory, under the leadership of Andre Miller, the University of Utah will achieve its own historical record and reach the finals this year. It was only in the end that it lost to the University of Kentucky, a giant who reached the finals for three consecutive years.

‘If I had my own joining, would the University of Utah change history?’

Dai Fei was slightly moved, but there was a hint of resistance in his heart.

When I look forward to a better life in college, there is always a hint of resistance that will suddenly appear.

I don't know what's going on.

"Fei, let me take you to a big meal? I know a very famous hotel. The taste there is absolutely delicious. You will definitely like it when you go."

"Is that so? Then I'm going to try it."

While Dai Fei and Rachel joined hands to enter the delicious hotel, behind them, a pretty girl walked out of the taxi and walked in with beautiful cat steps.

In the hall, the girl's high heels were crisp and loud, which attracted many people to turn back.

"Fei, is that Michael?"

Following Rachel's gaze, it was a beautiful tall and sexy girl. She took two steps and directly grabbed a tall man holding a cigar in his hand and sweated heavily.

That's right, the black man wearing white trousers is one of the famous NBA playboys, Michael Jordan.

Dai Fei had heard of some things about Michael Jordan during the 1997 Finals before, but now he has witnessed them with his own eyes, but he feels a little magical.

Why did Dai Fei come back to Salt Lake City just to witness Jordan's flu battle?

But Jordan is doing well now.

In Dai Fei's opinion, those reports of later generations seem to be quite credible.

"It's not true, is it?"

"Of course, it's true. These are all treated by my dad, so you can't make fakes."

Dai Fei smiled, and what the two said was not the same thing at all. Although it was easy to see from Rachel's expression that she seemed to be lying to the cheap father-in-law, Dai Fei did not expose it.

"Our dad is so generous."

"Of course."

Rachel was so happy when she heard Dai Fei exaggerating his father.

The two of them enjoyed a delicious steak meal. As Rachel said, it was really delicious.

However, after they left, in the middle of the night, the hotel was surrounded by the media.

At night, Jordan was food poisoned and rushed to the hospital. He had been suffering from a slight drip and knew that he had never left the hospital the next morning.

Although Chicago officially claimed it was 'food poisoning', media public opinion did not think so.

Chicago media reports:

"Have the Utahs reached this level of madness in order to win?"

It is obvious that the Chicagoan attributed the cause of Jordan's accident to the Jazz.

After all, in this era, in order to win the game, there is something that cannot be done? Apart from the illegal things that kill and set fire, both sides do everything they can to win the championship.

However, the Salt Lake City media exposed the nature of Jordan Playboy:

"Last night, Michael had an event with the beautiful girl until midnight. Maybe he was infected with the flu."

"It is rumored that Michael cut a cigar with a rusty knife yesterday and accidentally cut his fingers. The bacteria and viruses caused discomfort in the body."

Both sides have their own words. Anyway, it’s the other party’s fault that makes every mistake.

However, this situation is very unfavorable to the Bulls.

Jordan is seriously ill. It is unknown whether he can play in tonight's game. Even if he plays, the Bulls' chances of winning are very low.

The situation deteriorated suddenly.

Even the handicap for betting on the ball made significant adjustments, all of which tended to support the Jazz to take over the Tianwang Mountain.

The cool Salt Lake City suddenly became the hottest place in the United States.

.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the center of the Delta was in full swing.

Before the game, Jordan announced his participation.

Although it has inspired many Bulls fans, this will not affect the Jazz fans' determination to win.

Due to food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, Jordan was still in a state of fever and loss of strength before the game started.

However, Jordan is Jordan, and he will never surrender to any threat that challenges him.

He made everyone who underestimated him taste the consequences.

No matter how hard Renfei Jackson tried to dissuade him, he could not stop Jordan's determination to play on the court to make achievements for the team.

Jordan did not perform like a patient on the court on the spot, and he did not get a limited time in this game.

In the whole game, Jordan only took a 4-minute break, but scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City 90-88, sweeping away the previous two consecutive losses and winning the Tianwang Mountain in one fell swoop.

This time, Michael Jordan not only defeated his opponent, but also defeated himself.

If you want to stroll through the clouds, you have to break through the barrier between the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Similarly, if you want to touch greatness, you must break through the obstacles of your opponent and the bonds of yourself.

Looking at Jordan's career, he has no need to say about his greatness, but behind his glorious career, I don't know how many songs of the dead of the iron-blooded heroes have been left behind.

3-2

The Jazz lost Jingzhou with carelessness!

The Bulls have achieved the absolute lead in the finals!

After the game, when he saw Jordan falling into Scott Pippen's well-behaved look, the jazz fan Rachel was a little moved and a little depressed.

And Dai Fei's eyes were even more indescribable.

That thing seemed to gradually become clear in my mind...
Chapter completed!
