At this time, the cell phone ringtone rang in Lao Wang's closet.
"Boss, your phone number."
This time Daben reacted quickly and quickly got up and ran over to take out his cell phone and put it into the bathroom.
"Kobe?"
Lao Wang took it and took a look, why is this guy calling him again?
"Hello..."
"Master, will you choose me? I am definitely better than Iverson. I know this. I am the best one..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Kobe opposite him started shouting impatiently.
"What are you doing, kid? It's the management's business who to choose. You, a high school student, might not be selected. Remember to ask me when the time comes. I'll get you a trial qualification with the Suns, haha!"
Lao Wang made a fool of himself and quickly hung up the phone.
This kid Kobe may not look cool at first glance, but after getting in touch with him a lot, this kid can be very talkative at times. He will repeat the same thing a hundred times. If it doesn't satisfy him, he will keep talking and it's annoying.
When Kobe saw the phone was hung up, he suddenly became angry and kept shouting into the phone: "Old K, old K, old K, you will regret it, yes, you will regret it, you will definitely
I will regret it, I must be the best one, must be..."
…
The next day, the Bulls announced that Pippen's back injury had recurred and he would be sidelined for at least a month, and he would not even be able to participate in the All-Star Game.
At this time, Lao Wang was woken up from bed by a phone call.
"Old K, I...may be pregnant." Yu Feihong's voice sounded from the opposite side, but it was not as calm as usual, but a little uneasy.
"What?"
When he suddenly heard this sentence, Lao Wang didn't react. Then the next moment, he jumped up from the bed and screamed strangely: "Are you pregnant?"
"I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting for the past few days, and my period hasn't come yet." Yu Feihong's tone returned to his usual calmness, as if he was saying something normal.
"It's early in the morning, don't be joking, Brother Fei, I called you Brother Fei." Lao Wang said hurriedly.
"It's no use calling me grandma, what do you think I should do?" Yu Feihong said angrily.
Lao Wang scratched his head hard, remembering that the last time he and Yu Feihong were together was Christmas, and it seemed that it was useless to have fun. He hurriedly asked: "Xiao Fei, go to the martial arts school to find a Chinese medicine doctor to check your pulse. If you are really pregnant,
Let’s set up a few tables to celebrate.”
"Poof!"
Yu Feihong laughed and said a little worriedly: "Old K, if you are really pregnant, how will you meet people when you go back with a big belly in a few months?"
"Let me think."
Lao Wang used his brain to draw a few circles on his head like the monk Yixiu, and finally made up his mind and said: "Let's do it this way. If we are really pregnant, we will register our marriage in the United States immediately. The All-Stars are coming soon.
If you take care of the formalities and go back to your country to arrange a replacement wedding later, you won't have people gossiping about you."
"If you register here, will it be recognized in China?"
"Wait until I ask the lawyer."
Lao Wang immediately hung up the phone and called his lawyer. The other party told him that as long as the regulations are met, Chinese people can register for marriage in the United States, and China also recognizes it, but it needs to be certified at the Chinese Embassy in the United States.
.
He immediately told Yu Feihong that both of them were very courageous people. They discussed what to do next and finally ended this unexpected incident.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly thought of a question. Yu Feihong was taking medicated food every day. Wouldn't there be any problem if he took that food when he was pregnant?
"system?"
"The host can rest assured that the medicinal diet produced by this system is absolutely safe."
"Can I continue eating?"
"Can."
"Isn't it said that medicine is three parts poison?"
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a medicated meal every day, it can only make the fetus healthier."
"You won't be pregnant for three years and give birth to Nezha, right?"
"Absolutely not."
He immediately called Yu Feihong and told him that if she was pregnant, she could continue to take medicated food. Yu Feihong said she didn't dare, and he persuaded her repeatedly before agreeing.
"Old K, do you understand? Pippen will be injured for a month."
"real?"
When he went to have breakfast, Kevin Johnson told him the news, and Wang Tiejun felt that the opportunity to reach the summit had come.
Now his personal statistics are much higher than Jordan's, and his scoring average has reached 43 points per game. However, it will only be safer if the team's record reaches the first place in the league.
When leaving the hotel, a group of reporters rushed up to conduct interviews.
"Old K, do you hope the Suns will draft Iverson?"
"Old K, who do you most hope to select in this year's draft?"
"Old K, do you think Iverson is suitable for the Suns? Do you think he can help you win the championship?"
"Old K, do you want to select an immediate competitor or a potential rookie?"
Lao Wang was a little confused. Firstly, I am not a scout, and secondly, I am not a manager. Why are you asking me this question?
"As for Iverson, I'm afraid we won't be able to select him with our current lottery picks, so please don't ask any more questions about him. It's meaningless."
"As for who I hope to draft, I'm sorry, I don't have time to think about it. I'm just a player, right?"
"In terms of strength and potential rookies, we have three first-round picks, half and half. I think this is a good idea. What do you think?"
…
On this day, O'Neal and Ewing swapped cities and arrived in New York and Orlando respectively, but their moods were different.
O'Neal was very happy. He finally arrived in a big city, could finally truly become the core leader of a team, and could finally get rid of that damn rookie Hardaway.
By the way, there is also a K martial arts gym here, so he can save a lot of money without having to hire a dedicated massage therapist.
When he checked in, the entire Knicks management came out to greet him and held a grand press conference specifically for him.
His jersey with the Magic was No. 32, but with the Knicks he chose No. 32. He originally wanted to choose No. 33, but it belonged to Ewing.
Nelson personally promised O'Neal that the team would use him as the core of its tactics, combining traditional positional warfare with fast-break tactics of defensive counterattack.
O'Neal said there is no problem. After losing fat, his fast break ability is not as good as when he was a rookie, but it is much better than last season and he can adapt to fast break tactics.
Ewing, on the other hand, had the completely opposite mood. Accompanied by David Frank, he came to the Magic Headquarters with a cold heart.
The Magic also held a press conference for him, and his jersey number was still No. 33.
Magic general manager Pat Williams told Ewing that the Magic are a dual-core team. Hardaway is the core on the outside and he is the core on the inside. The team will give him great respect.
However, he knew mentally that this was just superficial. If the Magic gave up O'Neal for Hardaway, they would not have him as the core. He could only assist Hardaway in the Magic.
"The Magic will not give me a big contract, nor will they give me a contract worth tens of millions. After finishing this contract, I will leave or apply for a trade next season."
After the press conference, he said to David Frank: "David, if I want to leave, the Magic should agree, otherwise they won't be able to keep me next season. Contact the Pacers and see if they can make room.
"
"Walker?"
David Frank instantly understood that Ewing wanted both a big contract and a championship.
Although the Pacers' main center Rick Schmitz has some offensive ability, he is not good at defense and rebounding. The Pacers will definitely be willing to replace Schmitz with Ewing.
The Pacers have no real big names and no players with an annual salary of more than five million, so they can clear space for Ewing.
The only obstacle is that Reggie Miller's contract seems to have expired. If he renews his contract after this season, he should have an annual salary of tens of millions.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Suns had just arrived in Miami. Wang Tiejun got off the plane, turned on his phone, and there was a text message from Yu Feihong, telling him that he had been diagnosed and that he was one month pregnant.
"Haha, brothers, I'm going to be a father." He immediately cheered.
Everyone looked at each other and then sent their own congratulations.
"Old K, who are you married to?" Kevin Johnson asked curiously.
"Who else can I have sex with?"
Lao Wang glared at Lightning and shouted to little Colangelo: "Brian, I will take leave in a few days to go to Los Angeles to register for marriage."
Little Colangelo hurriedly came over and asked: "Old K, the news is too sudden, are you kidding me?"
"Of course, register the marriage first, and then arrange the wedding after the season is over." Lao Wang said seriously.
"Well, that's good news. Congratulations, Old K." Little Colangelo smiled.
That night, Wang Tiejun informed his parents and two sisters that he was going to register for marriage in the United States. The family was very surprised, but getting married is always a good thing, and they didn't say anything. They only told him to make up for the wedding when he returned to China.
Over there, Yu Feihong also notified his parents. Yu's mother immediately realized, was she in such a hurry to get married that she was getting killed?
"Xiao Fei, you can't drink alcohol after you're pregnant, and you can't take medicine if you have a cold. You need to pay attention to these things!" she warned.
"I know, Mom." Yu Feihong replied smoothly without reacting.
"Really pregnant?"
"Mom, did you deceive me?"
"Damn girl, remember what I said, isn't there a Chinese medicine doctor in Tiejun's martial arts school? If you feel uncomfortable, see an old Chinese medicine doctor and don't just take Western medicine."
"I know, Mom."
"Do you want me and your dad to come over?"
"No, even if you register, there is no time to hold a wedding now."
"Well, your dad and I don't have time either."
"...Mom, you fooled me again."
…
On the 30th, the Suns continue their road trip to challenge the Miami Heat.
The team continues to train rookies, and Ben and Finley continue to occupy the starting position at the third position, taking up a lot of playing opportunities and shots.
However, Wang Tiejun defeated Mourning in the low post and showed his strength on both offense and defense. In 33 minutes, he efficiently scored 34 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. The defense made Mourning lose his standard.
.
Ben exploded and grabbed 13 rebounds. In 44 minutes, he sent out three steals and a block, and scored 11 points, recording the first double-double of his career.
The two teamed up to completely control the penalty area on both offense and defense, and controlled rebounding to the extreme.
Mourning is weak in offense and strong in defense. He doesn't have many offensive methods and is too short. He is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of height in front of Lao Wang. He is not strong enough to play with the big boss. He also has no efficiency when the big boss is dead.
In 35 minutes of playing time, he only made 4 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers and 0 fouls. In addition to a certain performance in defense, the offense and rebounding were completely eclipsed.
In the end, the Suns easily defeated the Heat, winning by 28 points.
After the game, Mourning's face turned black and he was in a very bad mood. Pat Riley, who traded him in and promised a billion-dollar contract, felt that he had been tricked by David Frank.
"The media promotes Mourning as the sixth super center. Is this the performance of the sixth super center?"
The iron-blooded coach was a little confused. Mourning's performance in front of Old K was really bad. He didn't score, and his usual strong defense was gone. He was completely blown away. His rebounding, which was not very good in the first place, was even missed by Ben Waller.
Even though they are not as good as other players, I heard that Wallace still got a non-guaranteed contract?
"Too short!"
The reason, he knows very well, is height. Mourning's shoe height is only 208 centimeters, Lao K's naked height is 216 centimeters, and his shoe height is close to 219 centimeters. The height difference is too big, making it impossible to attack or defend.
The difference in tonnage is also huge. Mourning did not show strong confrontation ability under Lao K. He couldn't handle it at all!
He regrets a little. He shouldn't have promised that 100 million yuan contract. Although Mourning performed well against other teams, the key opponents, whether it is O'Neal or Old K, have no hope of winning. In this case, the Heat have
Any chance of hitting the championship?
That night, the Bulls, whose lineup was not complete, played against the Mosaics away from home. Because Rodman had played in a nightclub the night before the game, he was low on energy and missed the afternoon training. His condition on the court was also not good, and he only scored 10 points.
rebounded, the Bulls eventually lost to the Mosaic team with the same incomplete lineup, with 38 wins and 4 losses, still first in the league.
Jordan was furious and had a few arguments with Big Chong in the locker room, but in the end, he chose to give in for the sake of the team and only asked Big Chong not to do this again.
Big Chong promised, but as to whether it can be done, God knows, he knows, and Jordan knows that it is impossible.
The Bulls lost, allowing the Suns to see an opportunity. After beating the Heat, they rushed to Atlanta overnight and defeated the Hawks in back-to-back games on the 31st, winning two consecutive games and completing all the January schedule.
So far, the regular season is just over halfway. The Suns have 37 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference and second in the league. The Bulls have 38 wins and 4 losses, just one win or loss.
On this day, the All-Star voting also ended. Comrade Wang became the NBA All-Star vote leader for the first time, with 1.59 million votes.
On the morning of February 1st, the league announced the 1996 All-Star roster.
Eastern starting lineup: O'Neal, Grant Hill, Pippen, Jordan, Hardaway
West starting lineup: Wang Tiejun, Shawn Kemp, Barkley, Drexler, Jason Kidd
Western Conference Substitutes: Olajuwon, Gary Payton, Sean Elliott, Karl Malone, Mitch Richmond, John Stockton, David Robinson
However, both Pippen and Drexler were sidelined due to injuries, and Glen Rice and Richmond took over the starting positions respectively. The two substitute positions were taken by Chris Webber and Kevin Johnson respectively.
This way the Suns will have two All-Stars this year, one starting and one coming off the bench.
The Lightning was actually in good shape today, and once produced the same statistics as in 2010. However, the injury last time had some impact on his condition, and his data declined somewhat.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, the Suns arrived in Cleveland, preparing to challenge the Cavaliers tomorrow.
Dan Malley and AC Green had contacted each other early in the morning. After arriving in Cleveland, a group of people found a restaurant to get together.
A group of NBA players came here and immediately became the focus of the nearby crowd. Some people on the street also stopped, but fortunately no one came to watch.
At this time, a group of children ran over from the street. There were dozens of them, shouting neat slogans and wearing some rugby gear.
Dan Malley pointed to the children running over the window and said: "This is a youth football team here. There are some good children. I often go to watch their games.
They probably come for lunch, and every game they get to have a good meal on the street as a reward.
By the way, most of the children here come from very difficult families, so a delicious meal is a good reward for them."
Indeed, a large group of children happened to stop at the restaurant where they were, and then filed in. Dozens of children plus coaches and staff, nearly a hundred people, immediately filled the restaurant.
"Hey, hello, I'm your fan." Dan Marley waved to greet them, and Lao Wang and the others followed suit.
"Hey, look, it's Old K, and Lightning, Thunder Lord."
"Tomorrow is the game between the Suns and the Cavaliers. Let's watch it together."
When a group of children saw Lao Wang and the others, they immediately started talking excitedly.
"Hey, this meal is mine."
Lao Wang raised his hand, shouted to a waiter, and then shouted to the children: "Did you hear that? You can order whatever you want to eat."
"Oh, thank you, old K."
Dozens of children immediately cheered, and several administrators and coaches quickly came over to express their thanks.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
More than half an hour later, lunch was over, Lao Wang paid the bill, and when he was leaving, the children had almost finished eating.
"Old K, Thunder God, Lightning, this is our gift to you."
When they just walked out of the restaurant, a little boy chased them out, holding a stack of football cards, dozens of them, and handed them over.
"Thanks."
Lao Wang took it and asked casually: "Young man, what is your name? How old are you?"
"Old K, my name is LeBron James, I'm almost 12 years old." The little boy said quickly.
Lao Wang smiled and nodded, looked at the boy and said, "Little guy, you look very strong."
"They all said that." James immediately laughed.
"I wish you a good future, goodbye."
Lao Wang nodded, and then drove away with Lightning and the others.
James watched Lao Wang and others leave with envy. He really wanted to become a superstar like Lao K, so that he wouldn't have to move with his mother every few months. Having his own house was the biggest thing he had ever done.
