At three o'clock in the morning on the 6th, the Knicks arrived in Los Angeles after playing the Suns, and did not arrive at the hotel until four o'clock to settle down.
Jordan only slept for a while on the plane and went to bed at five o'clock in the hotel. When he woke up, it was already one o'clock at noon.
"Michael, the medicinal food you ordered at K Martial Arts Hall has arrived for a while. In addition, the team will go to the Great Western Forum Arena for training in an hour." After taking a shower, he walked out of the room and was informed by a Knicks staff member.
.
"knew."
When he arrived at the restaurant, most of his teammates had arrived and were having lunch. He quickly opened the medicinal meal and smelled the tempting aroma. His strong appetite instantly made his mouth tingle.
"Michael, the K martial arts gym is going to be restructured. I don't know how to change it? Isn't it to increase the entry fee to V?" O'Neal was also taking medicinal food. He arrived a little early and was almost finished.
"I heard that it is now managed by Old K's second sister, so there may be some changes." Jordan said regretfully.
Regarding Old K's second sister, he heard from Buckley and Dameng, because those two guys actually bought shares in the import and export trading company of Old K's two sisters, and completely embraced Old K's lap.
What was a pity for him was that Old K actually had two sisters with high IQs, which completely ruined his idea of acquiring the K martial arts gym.
Thinking about how he has been playing football for so many years, but he has not made as much money as Old K in the past few years, I feel that it is time for me to start a business. If Old K makes so much money, the profit of K Martial Arts School must account for the majority.
He really guessed it right. Lao Wang always said that the K martial arts gym didn't make much money, and the brothers had to bear a heavy burden. But in fact, the money he earned was more than his income from playing games and commercial sponsorships, and indeed accounted for the majority of all income.
This time, most of the money for domestic construction companies and trading companies, as well as this trading company in the United States, comes from the profits of martial arts schools, and it is after-tax income.
"Trading company, K martial arts gym, he also has a street in the capital of China, old K actually created so many industries?"
Thinking of this, Jordan felt a little upset. Over the years, he had opened several restaurants and a car dealership in Chicago. The difference was huge. How could that elementary school student, Old K, be so powerful in the industry?
Forget it, let's just admit his technical secondary school degree. It's too low-level, and it makes you look bad if you can't get through to him.
This is because he made a mistake. Lao Wang set up a martial arts school, which was a task of the system. Yu Feihong and Zhang Lili persuaded him to do Fengshen Street. The construction company and trading company were both projects planned by the second sister. How could he do it himself?
What industry? There are several industries, none of which he actively engages in, except for playing basketball, which means he can dig the ground.
After finishing the medicinal meal, some fruit and vegetable salad and bread, Jordan was full and immediately rushed to the Great Western Forum Arena with the team.
After arriving at the arena, a group of media blocked the Knicks, or rather blocked Jordan.
"Michael, to be honest, the media is generally optimistic about the Lakers in this game. What do you think?" a reporter asked.
"We played two more games and they were back-to-back, so it was really a disadvantage, but it would be too arbitrary to conclude that we can't beat the Lakers based on this alone," Jordan said.
"Do you have anything to say about Old K's style change this season? Do you think the Knicks can defend Old K's offense?" a reporter asked.
Speaking of this, Jordan became serious and said: "Old K's transformation this season is really surprising. His offense is more difficult to defend. This is a bigger test for us."
After saying this, he stopped answering reporters' questions.
Regarding the transformation of Old K this season, he has been studying the performance of Old K in the two games of the Lakers and is very shocked.
A combination of a Dream at its peak and an O'Neal at this stage, both offense and defense have reached the peak of the top level. The offense has both the flexibility and changeability of the Dream, the dominance of O'Neal, and the strength of Old K himself.
Cruel and domineering, this is a more terrifying and powerful old K than last season, a more ferocious beast. This is his new view of old K.
This view even gave him a shuddering feeling. Even after having a powerful inside teammate like O'Neal, he was still not sure of defeating old K.
Thinking of this, he felt a little helpless. Maybe he lost one, two, and three, which gave him a psychological shadow, right?
But when he thinks of this, he feels endless anger. He cannot allow himself to have a psychological shadow on Old K. He will never allow it. Defeating Old K and killing him is the only chance to prove himself. He wants to win, demands victory, and victory is his.
The only one.
The visiting team's locker room was approaching. He forced himself to calm down and continued to analyze Old K and prepare for tonight's game.
In the past, Old K was only good at post-up play, but in these two games with the Lakers, Old K conducted a total of four face-to-basket attacks and scored three of them.
Old K's face-to-basket offense is different from David Robinson's face-to-basket offense. The general's face-to-basket offense relies on absolute athleticism. Like a small forward, he uses probing steps to break through the defender, go in for dunks, or
It is a jump shot that uses probing steps to push back the defender, while when Old K faces the basket, he uses his steps to dodge to get rid of the defender, get close to the basket and then shoot, or go directly to the basket for a dunk.
But Old K's pace is different from Dameng's, and also different from Mathieu Leonis's European step. Dameng's pace is mainly dangling, while the European step is a drastic change of direction, and Old K's pace seems to have no
There is so much shaking in the big dream, but there is no drastic change in direction like the European step.
Old K's force-generating technique is a mysterious martial arts technique from China. Now besides Old K, it is said that Kobe Bryant can also use it. Could it be that this kind of pace of Old K is another kind of force-generating technique?
Traditional martial arts from China?
"Bang!"
Pushing open the door to the locker room, Jordan looked at the first place next to the door. His name was written on the wardrobe.
This is the position of the team leader. The Lakers management has tacitly acknowledged that he is the leader of the Knicks, and this sense of identity is very important to him.
Although he doesn't want to compete with O'Neal for the boss position, the position of leader is not something he can give up if he wants. In the eyes of other teams, this team belongs to him.
O'Neal came in and looked at the closet. Oh my God, the damn Lakers actually put his name in the third place, and the second one was Oakley?
"I hate the Lakers, and I never want to join the Lakers in this life." He couldn't help but cursed, which attracted the attention of his teammates.
"I'm the second child, not the third child." They all muttered again and started packing their luggage.
Oakley, who was next to him, heard O'Neal yelling and kicked him, startling O'Neal.
"What are you doing, Charles? I didn't offend you?" O'Neill said aggrievedly.
Oakley was too lazy to pay attention to O'Neal, reached out and took off his name tag from the wardrobe, and then took off O'Neal's name tag, then dropped it and said to O'Neal angrily: "Shark, are you satisfied now?"
O'Neal smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant."
"Shaq, you can use my wardrobe. We are a team, and no one can win without K." Jordan also said.
"Don't worry, Michael, Charles, I will fight with all my strength to fight Old K." O'Neal clenched his fists.
Jordan and Oakley both nodded. O'Neal, a big guy, not only needs encouragement, but also encouragement. Otherwise, he will be a guy who relies on his talent and refuses to work hard, and will be left far behind by Old K.
At 6:30, Lao Wang and his bodyguard Geas Locke arrived at the Great Western Forum Arena. When coming up from the parking lot, he first went to the visiting team's locker room.
"Hey, old K."
When we arrived at the place, Phil Jackson was standing outside talking to someone. When he saw him, he quickly greeted him.
"Hey, Mr. Jackson. This gentleman is..." Lao Wang didn't know Scott Layden who was talking to Phil Jackson, but he should be the Knicks' management.
"This is Mr. Scott Layden, our team's general manager."
"Hello, Mr. Redden."
"Hello, old K."
Phil Jackson introduced them. He shook hands with Layden and said, "I'm here to visit Michael and the others."
"OK, we just finished dinner and went back to the locker room."
As Phil Jackson spoke, he stepped forward and opened the door to the locker room, and said to Jordan, who was sitting by the door: "Michael, old K is here."
"Hey, Flyers, Charles, Shaq... welcome to Los Angeles." Lao Wang appeared at the door and shouted loudly.
"Old K."
Even Jordan stood up and greeted.
"By the way, can you get past the Celtics and Pacers this season? You can't even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals," Wang joked.
"The one I have to worry about is you, right? Can you get past the Trail Blazers and Jazz? No matter who they play in the second round, I think the Lakers will be in trouble, right?" Jordan retorted.
"We killed Jazz before we even got along. It's you we have to worry about. It's such a shame that you three giants are united together." Old Wang said.
Jordan's face turned red, but before he could speak, Oakley shouted: "Old K, don't brag too much about me, I'm not a giant, I'm just a blue-collar guy."
When he said this, Jordan felt free to speak, and he quickly retorted: "Old K, you brought Richmond to the Lakers, who are you qualified to criticize?"
Lao Wang said twice: "Flyer, you are not particular about what you do. Why don't you go to the Knicks? Let him go to the Jazz and say, are you willing to target us Lakers? I tell you, just rely on the Jazz.
They can't stop us, we are determined to compete in next year's finals."
Jordan's face twitched, can I get the Knicks, or can I get the big bug to go to the Jazz?
He said angrily: "Who knows what's wrong with him? The Knicks' contract is too small, and the Jazz's contract is even smaller, but he went."
"It's really useless. I've been the boss of Da Chong for two seasons and yet I didn't convince him." Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"That's better than you. The big insect can't even dump you. If you can be his boss for a day, I will obey you." Jordan replied.
"Next time I meet Jazz, I won't be able to kill him." Lao Wang said angrily.
After visiting Jordan, he began to visit O'Neal again and said: "Big, by the way, what is your name now?"
"Dajia Lianwang, my current nickname is Dajia Lianwang." O'Neal shouted quickly.
"Daiga Lianwang?"
Lao Wang was full of disdain. I train extra hard every offseason, so why should I be called the extra training king?
"Shark, do you want to learn my steps?" he asked seductively.
O'Neal's eyes lit up, he was so excited, and his heart was beating fast.
If he learns what the media said about Old K called the Plum Blossom Step, with his flexibility and explosive power, his strength will definitely increase a lot. It won't be a problem to beat Old K!
"Are you willing to teach me?" he asked hurriedly.
Even Jordan's eyes are bright. There is no end to learning. If he can learn the pace of old K, even if he gets old and can't fly anymore, he can advance and retreat freely in the paint area with that pace, as if there is no one there.
What a state!
"Kneel down and worship me."
Lao Wang pointed to his feet, looked at O'Neal through his nostrils and said.
"roll!"
O'Neal Airway.
Damn you, I'm not a rookie like Kobe. Even if you kill my head, I won't kneel down to you.
Jordan also rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he didn't answer the call just now, otherwise he would have been angry to death.
"Look, these are the rules. It's not that I don't teach you, it's that you don't abide by our rules, so of course I can't teach you."
Lao Wang's face was full of regrets. If he could fool O'Neal into becoming a disciple, he would be very happy to play Kobe with his left hand and O'Neal with his right hand.
As for the club move, he didn't believe that O'Neal had the perseverance to learn it.
