"Great Michael, I never thought you were a dishonest guy, but now, I think you need to give a response!"

The preseason is over, and now comes the opening game of the regular season.

The troublemaking Barkley once again mentioned the bet he made with Michael Jordan.

The local media in Phoenix, who had a close affinity with him, also immediately reported the matter extensively.

There is no doubt that they want to see Michael Jordan wearing Lin's jersey and cheering Lin on the sidelines.

Especially under the current circumstances.

In the 6 preseason games, Lin Ri's average per game is close to 23 plus 13 if rounded. In addition, the Suns' opening game was against the Clippers, who beat the Clippers by more than 20 points in the first game of the preseason. This is

This means that there is almost no possibility of "overturning" in Lin Ri's debut performance.

In this way, they are naturally happy to build momentum for Lin Ri's opening game!

Is there anyone better to build buzz with than Michael Jordan?

Phoenix fans have no respect for Michael Jordan. Who allowed this guy to ruin Barkley's only trip to the Finals with the Suns?

Now, old boy, you are finally in our hands, right?

All of Phoenix is ​​waiting for Michael Jordan to respond.

What they didn't expect was that Michael Jordan's answer was very straightforward: "Of course, I am willing to admit defeat. I am looking forward to the start of the opening game. I will appear on the sidelines on time to cheer for the sun!"

This reaction surprised Barkley and surprised the Phoenix media.

But something even more unexpected happened half an hour later.

Michael Jordan directly tweeted: "I like this guy very much. I see infinite possibilities in him. I am his fan. There is not much to say about this. I will be on the sidelines and I will too when the time comes.

Enjoy everything!”

Listening to what he said, wearing a jersey and cheering for the sun on the sidelines is not something that would make him feel embarrassed at all...

"Uh..." Buckley was bored for a while.

However, they were a little surprised by Michael Jordan's attitude. The local media in Phoenix immediately took advantage of this incident to build momentum for Lin Ri.

"How about it, now?"

"The media in Phoenix are discussing this matter, and now many big media have also reported on it. It will probably only take one night. I think the whole country will know that you are going to watch the Sun play in person.

."

"OK, are the contracts ready? The follow-up media has also been arranged. Let's complete a perfect publicity!"

"Yes, boss!"

Michael Jordan was also listening to his assistant telling him about the situation outside. When he heard that the whole country was talking about "Michael Jordan is about to go to Phoenix and cheer for the Sun", not only did he not feel angry at all,

Instead, he showed a look of increasing confidence.

Michael Jordan plans to do something big!

He plans to sign Lin Ri as the spokesperson for AJ.

This was not an impulsive idea on his part, but a decision made by the entire team after research.

Then Michael Jordan had this plan...

Sign the Sun before the opening game, and then announce the news after being a "fan" at the Suns' home court that night.

In this way, the popularity caused by him being a "fan of the sun" will become a publicity boost for him to sign Lin Richeng as an endorsement for AJ!

Then cooperate with the publicity channels arranged by himself.

It can definitely build momentum for the subsequent launch of Lin Ri’s signature shoes!

This is why he suddenly agreed so readily.

Hum hum, is the brain of "Trader Joe" something that your little Buckley can beat?

Michael Jordan could already imagine Barkley's embarrassment after seeing his entire plan succeed. Feeling happy, he sat in the car heading to the airport and lit the cigar in his hand that symbolized victory.

Three hours later.

Just after talking to James Harden on the phone and listening to his complaints, Lin received a text message from Chris.

——Man, AJ’s representatives just called me. They want to see you and talk to you about the specific matters of representing AJ. Do we agree?

Endorsing AJ?

In this text message, Lin Rixian saw these four words.

No way, who told this to be AJ?

Can Michael Jordan just take it anymore?

AJ is an independent brand under Nike. The person behind this brand is none other than the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.

All matters related to this brand are decided by him alone.

AJ wanted to sign him, actually it was Michael Jordan who wanted to sign him.

Is it that easy?

"Central Shooting King" Hamilton once wanted to join AJ, but was rejected by Michael Jordan.

"Let's discuss this topic again when you become an All-Star, kid!"

This was Michael Jordan's answer to Hamilton at the time.

It can be seen that it is not an easy thing to get Michael Jordan to nod and agree to join AJ.

Lin Ri really didn't expect that this big boss would be attracted to him after he didn't play a single regular season game.

How can I put this feeling... I'm really a little proud~

——Then let’s meet.

Lin Ri sent a message back to Chris.

No one can resist the temptation of AJ.

So, 10 hours later, at 10 a.m. on the day of the NBA opening game, Lin Ri, accompanied by Chris, met with AJ's representatives in a coffee shop.

But when Lin Ri saw the so-called representative, he was a little stunned, because the representative turned out to be Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan saw Lin Ri's surprise and said, "Man, there is nothing surprising. We will meet again tomorrow night!"

Lin Ri nodded, that's true.

He just accidentally saw Michael Jordan here.

Not that I was surprised to see Michael Jordan.

He takes me seriously.

The end of the story that Lin Ri knew - when Hamilton really became an All-Star and was signed, Michael Jordan didn't even show his face, but Hamilton still signed the endorsement contract obediently.

This is Michael Jordan's place in the NBA.

He is truly the idol of a generation.

No, it should be said to be the belief of a generation.

There is no way, this is a country with a strong hero complex.

Lin Ri is not a fan of Michael Jordan, and it is difficult for him to become a fan of Michael Jordan because when he started watching football, Michael Jordan had already won two three consecutive championships and then retired.

Few fans would regard "Wizard Joe" as their idol.

At that time, it was more normal to like the "four major shooting guards" and the "big shark".

But Lin Ri is an exception. He doesn't have any favorite stars, which makes him not excited about every star he has met so far.

Now, including meeting Michael Jordan, the same is true.

This also made Michael Jordan feel a little confused for no reason.

He has met too many juniors before, and when they see him, they always have "a ball of fire" in their eyes, which is the fire of longing.

But there was no "fire" in Lin Ri's eyes.

It's as if there is no difference between him, Michael Jordan, and the middle-aged man driving a truck next door.

Times have really changed!

An idea suddenly popped into Michael Jordan's mind.

He, Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" and the first man in NBA history, has actually begun to be slowly forgotten...

"OK, man, let's get down to business."

But Michael Jordan quickly calmed down his mood.

He didn't come to see Lin Ri today to drink tea and chat.

He didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed his sincerity. Originally, he planned to play the "sensation card", but after he found that there was no "fire" in Lin Ri's eyes, he gave up such an idea. Rather than saying so

Lin Ri was disgusted by the bullshit, so he might as well give an offer directly: "Man, I plan to sign with you on a five-year, 70 million contract!"
