Chapter 111 Chuck takes action in advance

beep--

The long whistle sounded to end the game.

The score on the electronic scoreboard was fixed at 96:95, and the Bulls narrowly defeated the Pacers by one point.

Gilbert Arenas, who made the winning three-pointer in the last 5 seconds, was hugged tightly by his teammates after the game. Even Jordan came over and rubbed the guy's head lovingly.

Of course, this result actually needs to be thanked for the referee's several penalties that clearly favored the Bulls in the last quarter of the game.

NBA executives, including commissioner David Stern, breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this, everyone had a stone hanging in their hearts.

One is worried about Jordan's state in the first game. After all, he is already a 38-year-old veteran. Let alone maintaining his peak condition, whether he can keep up with the current rhythm of the NBA game is a big problem.

And Jordan not only played the entire game, but also handed in an extremely shocking answer.

He scored 49 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals.

The basketball god is back and stronger than ever.

However, compared to the enthusiastic audience and fans at the scene, the eyes of several NBA owners present were twinkling.

Although Jordan's return can bring super popularity and higher stadium attendance to the entire league, Jordan's heroic state also makes many people doubtful.

Is this really what a 38-year-old veteran can do?
In addition to Jordan's personal status, another concern before the game is that there are three first-year players in the Bulls' starting lineup.

With two veterans leading three rookies, the Bulls are very uncertain in this game.

As a result, the three rookies performed pretty well.

Center Tyson Chandler and point guard Tony Parker performed fairly well, but Arenas, who was only drafted in the second round, performed brilliantly.

This made many scouts present lament that the Bulls really found a treasure this time.

But even so, with Jordan playing such dominant personal data, the score on the court was still tightly held by the Pacers.

The Bulls' newcomers still need more games to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and senior players like Webber also need more time to find the second-best status of playing with Jordan.

It is foreseeable that even if Jordan can maintain this state from now on, the Bulls' game this season will not be smooth sailing.

As soon as the game ended, Pacers head coach Thomas turned around and left, just like the time when the Bad Boys pissed off Jordan.

The media was well prepared for this and had sent people in advance to block Thomas on the outside.

Although the league's top executives and the team's general manager had previously greeted Thomas and asked him to try to restrain himself from speaking ill of Jordan, it turned out that he only called him the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

After Thomas was surrounded by reporters outside the court, he was all smiles and showed no signs of depression at all.

"Yes, Jordan's performance in this game was very good. With the expectations of the league, referees and the whole world, he lived up to expectations and led the team to win this game."

"I'm just curious how he can still maintain such amazing physical fitness and condition at the age of 38. Of course, it may be that I retired too early and don't know enough about some of the current high-tech products."

The smiling assassin stabbed Jordan in the back as soon as he opened his mouth!
This statement is tantamount to reporting Jordan in real name, using some unknown Hex technology.

In fact, even if Thomas doesn't question it, many media can't help but think about it.

Both the Bulls and the NBA were well prepared. The Bulls released a video of Jordan's secret training over the past year directly after the game. The purpose was, of course, to tell everyone how hard Jordan worked to return to his peak state.

Then various team doctors, nutritionists, and trainers took turns to be interviewed, proving that Jordan's current state was all due to training and absolutely did not use any illegal drugs.

The NBA also released various drug test reports on Jordan before the game, emphatically proving that he did not use any illegal drug bottles. It also promised to conduct more random drug tests on Jordan and the entire process would be open and transparent.

But these are later stories.

At the game, after Jordan celebrated the victory with his teammates and coaches, he stayed on the field to take various photos with the fans.

John put on his cowboy hat and left quietly.

Cheng Long and Jamie were also surrounded by a group of people, all of whom were spectators who came to ask for their autographs.

In the process of signing autographs for movie fans, Cheng Long took a moment to glance at the opposite bleachers and found that the Chinese girl's family had left, feeling disappointed.

Turning around, Cheng Long saw the Chinese girl holding a copy of "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief" in her hand, waiting in line for Jamie's autograph.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but that person was in the dim light!
Cheng Long was afraid that he would miss it again this time, so he quickly signed an autograph for a fan in front of him, then said to the people behind him please wait a moment, squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the Chinese girl.

"Hi, are you from China?"

Cheng Long directly greeted Liu Yifei, her daughter and Chen Jinfei in Chinese.

Chen Jinfei immediately took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Cheng Long took it and took a look and found that the other person was actually the boss of a real estate company in Yanjing.

Because he didn't know Chen Jinfei's background, Cheng Long was very polite in person, but his main focus was still on Liu Yifei and her daughter.

He handed Liu Yifei's mother a business card from his agent Tommy, saying that there was a movie role that would be suitable for Liu Yifei, and then turned back and continued to sign autographs to the audience waiting for him.

Jamie also noticed the interaction between Cheng Long and Liu Yifei's family. He thought Liu Yifei would leave after taking the business card given by Cheng Long.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei still insisted on queuing and finally came to Jamie.

Jamie glanced curiously at Liu Yifei, who was obviously still a little girl.

"Chinese?" Liu Yifei nodded and said yes, her English accent was very standard.

Jamie suddenly had a bad taste and wrote a sentence in Chinese to Liu Yifei on the title page of the novel.

study hard, improve every day!
Below is his signature in English.

When Liu Yifei took the book, her mouth turned into an O shape in surprise.

Jamie winked at Liu Yifei and explained:
"I heard that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to master, so I learned hundreds of millions of points."

The standard Chinese pronunciation shocked Liu Yifei again.

If Jamie hadn't raised his hand to signal the next fan to come forward, Liu Yifei would have been able to stand in front of him for a long time.

Not long after Liu Yifei's family left, Jamie met another "special" fan.

Stanley the bearded scout.

Jamie wasn't surprised at all that he came to watch the game.

However, Stanley brought unexpected news to Jamie.

"I'm going to Europe soon."

"Business trip?" Jamie asked, pretending not to understand.

"No, he might be stationed there permanently." Stanley replied with a shrug.

Jamie asked with a "shocked" look on his face:
"What happened?"

"It seems that you haven't paid much attention to the news in the NBA recently. My boss passed away suddenly on the eve of his retirement. His son took over the team. I had a conflict with that guy before, and then——"

Stanley did not continue.

Jamie nodded.

"So you want to switch jobs and come to the Bulls?"

"No, no, I will not leave the 76ers. I am mainly here to say goodbye to you today. By the way, my daughter likes You's novels very much."

Jamie didn't want to ruin Stanley's "opportunity" in Europe, so he took the novel Stanley had prepared and wrote a blessing for his daughter on the title page.

After Stanley thanked him, he waved goodbye to Jamie.

After signing autographs for a few more spectators, Dan suddenly came over with a hurried expression, whispered something into Jamie's ear.

"problem occurs!"

Jamie's face remained unchanged, and he waved to a Bulls staff member to help record the names and addresses of those spectators who had not yet had time to sign. Jamie would then send the signatures directly to them.

After explaining, Jamie immediately followed Dan towards the exit channel.

On the way Dan told Jamie that Nate and Blair just came over and had a big fight with Chuck for some unknown reason.

Blair was still crying, and Serena could only take her away to comfort her.

Nate followed suit.

No one else knew what was going on, so Dan had to find Jamie.

"Just Blair alone? I mean, I remember that she should have come with her new boyfriend, the son of the British Duke, today."

Dan shrugged, indicating that he only saw Blair.

Jamie had probably guessed what was going on by now.

When they arrived outside the arena, everyone else had already gone back to the hotel. Only Chuck stood there alone, smoking a cigarette depressedly.

Dan knew that Jamie and Chuck must have something they didn't want a third person to hear, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to the two of them and returned to the hotel first.

Jamie stepped forward, and Chuck immediately complained to him:
"You also think I did something wrong?"

Jamie asked for a cigarette from Chuck, lit it and took a puff before saying:
"It's just a bit unexpected. Didn't you agree to wait until the recording of "The Ladies of Manhattan" to expose this matter?"

Chuck smoked and said nothing.

Of course he won't admit it, because he's had enough of Blair and the Duke's son's dog food.

During this time, the gossip queen will reveal various photos of Blair and the Duke's son showing affection every now and then.

Chuck was obviously irritated by this incident, so he took it upon himself to tell the matter to the Duke in England without discussing it with Jamie.

The Duke's son and the Duchess were also brave enough to sneak into the bathroom during the game to do something like that.

As a result, the Duke rushed over and blocked him.

Everyone gets their money!

The Duke was relatively restrained and did not explode on the spot. He just ordered his men to take away the embarrassing couple.

Blair waited in the stands until the end of the game when the Duke's son and the Duchess came back from the bathroom and called the Duke's son. Unexpectedly, it was the Duke himself who answered the phone.

The Duke only said that there was something urgent and he needed to take his son back to England immediately, and then hung up the phone.
