"I didn't hear about this news. They were eliminated?”
Jordan, who was being interviewed by the media, was dumbfounded.
This season, the Bulls 'focus was all on defending their title.
Therefore, Jordan did not pay much attention to his alma mater's performance in the NCAA.
Even so, he knew very well that this year, the University of North Columbia had two NBA lottery players.
Jordan had also seen the highlights of some of the games between Jamison and Carter.
Logically speaking, advancing to the top 8, or even the top four, was not a difficult thing.
In the end, he actually stopped at the top 16 and became a 16th man?
It was indeed a little surprising.
"Who eliminated them?"
Jordan thought to himself.
The elimination of the top 16 was definitely due to the fact that Northern California had encountered those traditional basketball schools.
Losing in a match between strong opponents was also very normal.
"It's the Buffalo!"
The Buffalo?
Hearing the name of the team, Jordan was even more confused.
He did not pay much attention to his alma mater, let alone other teams.
Don't look at how famous the Buffalo was in the Big 12 this season.
Jordan, who did not pay much attention to the NCAA, had never heard of such a niche team.
God Qiao thought that his alma mater had lost to teams at the level of Kentuckia, Kansas, and UCLA.
He did not expect it to be a team that he had heard of for the first time!
"Michael, the super rookie Lu Ran of the Buffalo has shown his brilliance in this match. Do you have anything to say about his performance?”
Lu Ran?
Jordan did not even pay much attention to the Buffalo.
Not to mention Lu Ran.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the Buffalo at all. As for this young man called Lu Ran, I have nothing to say.”
Their alma mater had been eliminated, and it was a small team that eliminated them.
Jordan was too lazy to waste time on this topic.""I'm more concerned about whether the team can defend its title this season. Please forgive me for not commenting on NCAA-related issues.”
He spoke his mind.
Almighty Qiao was really not interested in this topic.
Therefore, he was telling the truth.
However…
The media would not let go of any opportunity to attract people's attention so easily!
"Explosive! Michael Jordan ignored Lu Ran, and the basketball god disdained to comment on the Chinese behemoth that eliminated his alma mater!”
"Exclusive news, Michael Jordan is not interested in Lu Ran at all. The revenge for eliminating his alma mater will be taken in the NBA!”
"The day Lu Ran entered the Alliance, Michael Jordan taught him how to be a man!”
Yes, it was.
Lu Ran hadn't even entered the NBA yet. He hadn't even announced that he would participate in the 1997 NBA draft.
The media had already begun to put him and Jordan together to earn traffic.
After all.
The most popular player in the NBA was still Michael Jordan.
The player with the most explosive traffic in this year's NCAA Tournament was Lu Ran!
How could they make the two major flows explode the fan market at the same time?
This was the best solution!
"Michael, you're together with a Chinese kid.”
Early the next morning.
Dennis Rodman, who arrived at the team's training hall, threw the newspaper in his hand to Jordan.""Brother, this kid seems to have a nickname. He's called the Chinese Fist King or something.”
"Looks like you might need a bodyguard.”
Rodman said as he moved closer to Jordan."Buddy, I only want 8 million a year. What do you think?”
"Come on, Dennis. How could that fatty Jerry give you an annual salary of eight million?”
Scotty Pippen intervened in the conversation."If he's willing to give you eight million, then I'll sign this contract worth eight million before you.”
Speaking of which...
Second Master Pi had always been dissatisfied with his contract.
After defending his title this year, if the Bulls 'management really gave Rodman a high-paying contract, Pi Erye would also force Rodman to give up.
Why did Michael's bodyguards get 8 million?
Yet, he had to earn an annual salary of 2.2 million dollars?
This didn't make sense.
"Come on, Scotty, Jerry doesn't want you to jump out of the contract and sign a high price.”
Rodman continued to mock Pippen." Buddy, who asked you to sign that NT contract?”
"F * ck you, you f * ck…"
Pippen and Rodman started to spit at each other, and the scene was very chaotic.
This was also the norm in the Bulls 'training center at the end of the regular season.
Jordan was already used to it.
As long as these two people only stayed at the stage of talking, it would not affect the team's defense.
God Qiao didn't care what they were talking about.
After all...
Two people with 2.2 million dollars and 8 million dollars quarreled. What did they have to do with Jordan, who had an annual salary of 30 million dollars?
If you want to quarrel, then so be it ~
As for the newspaper, the center forward from the colorado dynasty who was tied to him?
Jordan did not take it to heart at all.
Everyone said that the 1990s was the era of insiders.
But the one who dominated the inside lane era was a 1.98-meter guard!
Another big guy with a lot of gimmicks?
So what?
"Lu, everyone said that Michael wanted to cut you off.”
On the other side, at the Coliseum in California.
Raif Ford held the Boulder Weekly in high spirits."Bro, you're already a celebrity who can appear on the cover of the same newspaper as Michael Jordan!”
"Alright, Raif. Compared to the news in these newspapers, we should pay more attention to the following knockout rounds.”
Coach Ricardo Parton, who was passing by, confiscated the newspaper in Ford's hand.
To be honest, Ricardo Parton was really annoyed by the media.
They did not report about the elimination of North Carolina from the University of California, but they wanted to stir up the topic between Jordan and Lu Ran.
Is traffic really that important to you?
The American media: I'm sorry, but traffic is really that important!
"Listen to me, guys. We've reached the top eight. This is the best result in the history of the team.”
Everyone gathered. Coach Ricardo Parton tapped on the tactical board in his hand."But we can't stop here.”
"In the quarter-finals, our opponent is the Kansas City Ravens, who lost to us three times in the Division League.”
"Defeat them, advance further into the top four, and aim for the finals and championship!”
(The monthly votes, evaluation votes, and support are really important. There will be updates soon!)!）
