Chapter 924 Returning Still Young

On the first day of the preseason training camp, more than 30 players gathered at the Berto Center.

Including ten regular candidates who have already signed contracts, and more than twenty free agents who are going all out for five places.

"Devine, isn't this feeling special?" Bai Jidong stood in front of Wade with his hands on his hips.

The two are fighting a bullfight, currently Bai Jidong leads by 2 points.

"It's very special. I didn't expect that I would become teammates with you." Wade snorted, took a step, and was about to make a layup when Bai Jidong caught up with him and blocked the shot.

"That's enough. It's meaningless to fight any more. Let's call it a tie." Old Carter stopped.

Carter originally wanted to sign a contract with the Grizzlies, but Bai Jidong personally called him to recruit him, and finally convinced him.

"I actually believe that a 40-year-old man can take me to the championship, I must be crazy!" Carter signed with the Bulls for one year.

Some say the Bulls form the Old Man League.

Bai Jidong, Wade, and Carter can be said to be the oldest players in the league.

The joining of Vashabek has made a qualitative improvement in the depth of the Bulls' lineup.

The Bulls' current striker lineup is extremely terrifying, and no matter which team they encounter, they have an advantage.

Butler, White Wolf, Vashabek, whoever comes and who dies.

"Uncle Bai, look at me for grabbing the rebound!" Butu is now firmly established as the Bulls' starting power forward.

上赛季82场全勤，场均10分13篮板1.4抢断1.5封盖，只差一票就能入选二防。

"Big cloth, come on, we're just practicing." Mirotic said bitterly.

Butu said: "Michael Jordan said: As long as we treat practice as a final, we can face any game calmly."

The training ground was very noisy, and Fred Hoiberg, as the coach, felt his head was getting bigger.

The one-month preseason training camp ended quietly. After several preseason games, the Bulls officially confirmed the lineup for the new season.

Opener

The Bulls' opponent is the Celtics, and the game is played at the Bulls' home court, the United Center.

After the DJ gave a lifeless introduction to the Celtics, the lights went out, and a familiar, nostalgic, and passionate music sounded on the big screen.

"Eye in the Sky" resounded through the United Center again.

"Number 12!"

"forward!"

"Six feet and eight inches!"

"Bye~Yi dong from St. John's College!"

The shouts from the scene drowned out everything, Bai Jidong came on stage in his opening uniform, and high-fived with his young teammates one by one.

"After 12 years, Bye played for the Bulls again."

"When he left, he was only 27 years old. Now that he has returned with 8 championships, Chicago should feel sorry. The White Wolf is about to turn 40 years old. He is no longer the White Wolf who can fly to the sky and escape from the ground."

Before the game started, Bai Jidong ran to the sidelines to chat with Chu Meng and Taylor, "Does this suit fit?"

"I'm not used to it." Chu Meng said bluntly.

"Now you are the Bye who dunks Ewing in my memory." Taylor laughed.

"Dad, I'm going to score 50 points tonight!"

"You're exhausting me!" Bai Jidong pinched Bai Jun's cheek, then touched the other children.

"In addition to Bye's wife and children, Liv Tyler also came to watch the game."

"Liv and Bye are very close and there is even speculation that they have another relationship."

"But I heard that Bye and his wife are both Christians. They are Bender Taylor's godfather and godmother."

Bai Jidong faced Jae Crowder, a young man with a fiery personality.

"Why does an old man like you continue to fight? You are not my opponent at all now. I run faster and have more energy than you!" Claude said a lot to Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong scratched his ears, "Are you a donkey? Don't keep shouting, okay? Have a basic respect for your seniors? Are you Kobe? Do you want to challenge me like he challenged Jordan? Are you sure?"

"I...I can kick your ass so it explodes right now!" Cloud yelled.

"Okay, I remember your words."

Bai Jidong shouted at Rondo from a distance: "If the ball belongs to us, please give me the ball."

"I'll give it to you when the time comes, you don't need to remind me." Rondo said arrogantly.

I Fuck!What the hell is this?Can you all respect the old and love the young?I'm almost 40 fucking years old, respect me and kill me?
Robin Lopez took off, hit the rebound, and Rondo made it.

"Run!" Rondo yelled.

Rondo is an outstanding commander, rebellious, harsh on himself, and harsh on others.

Not everyone can control such a player.

Bai Jidong didn't intend to use seniority to overwhelm others, according to Rondo, "Little Bu, come and help me block this brat!"

"Damn old man, you must be scolding me in Chinese, don't force me to scold you in Georgian, I have a temper!"

"You better go to hell! You stinky brat who doesn't have manners!" Bai Jidong carried Claude away with his back, and ran to the Celtics' vital parts like an arrow.

Rondo had already seen Bai Weidong's position, and sent the ball with both hands.

Outside the three-point line, Bai Weidong catches the ball and makes a hit.

"White Wolf hits first pitch since returning to Bulls."

"It's also the Bulls' first goal of the season."

"I made a good pass to you, I forgive your arrogance just now." Bai Jidong and Rondo clapped hands.

"Hmph." Rondo didn't bother to talk to Bai Jidong, and went up to defend Isaiah Thomas.

The Celtics are a special team, tough, tough, tough.

In the post-Big Four era, Danny Ainge's divine operation helped the Celtics rebuild quickly.

Little Thomas, who has the same name as "Smiling Assassin", is the soul of this iron army.In order to create opportunities for him, Thomas Jr. got the opportunity with consecutive high-post empty-handed screens. Just as he was about to make a shot, a lone figure flashed and slapped the ball away from the side.

"Goodbye, Isaiah!"

"Goodbye, Isaiah!"

"Goodbye, Isaiah!"

"The "Goodbye" moment recreates the United Center!"

Little Thomas stared at Bai Jidong.

With his back turned to him, Bai Jidong said to Rondo: "Pay attention to their cover, I can't guarantee that I can cover every time."

Rondo knew Bai Jidong's strength very well. Eight years ago, this man almost destroyed the Big Four of the Celtics by himself.

However, he is almost 40 years old.

After 6 minutes in the first quarter, Bai Jidong was replaced by Hoiberg to rest.

"White Wolf, are you okay?"

The Celtics have a strong confrontation tonight, and Hoiberg is worried that he will not be able to stand up.

Where is this?Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Vashabek replaced Bai Jidong.

The Bulls lacked a ball-holding point and an end point on the perimeter, but had an extra defensive gate.

Vashabek was selected for the second defense again last season. If there is no monster like Leonard pressing him, he can be selected for the first defense.

With Vasha Baker in, the Bulls' defense improves
Moved up a level.

Compared to these, Butu's performance surprised Bai Jidong even more.

At the end of the first quarter, Rondo missed a shot, but Butu grabbed three rebounds in a row and hit the rebound four times in a row. With the last jump, he grabbed the rebound powerfully, and the audience was excited.

"Fuck! Isn't this fucking Rodman?"

"You are all a bunch of scum!" Butu's ability to taunt his opponents was also learned from Rodman.

Before Bai Jidong returned, Butu was the most popular player in Chicago, more popular than Butler.

You know, he is only a second-year player, not even an All-Star.

With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Bai Jidong replaced Wade and swung to the second position, while Vashabek stayed on the court.

The "Wolverine" combination appeared in the Bulls, and the two teamed up for the first time to force Thomas to make a mistake.

Bai Jidong picked up the ball on the ground and sent a long pass from the quarterback. Vashabek took a dribble, received the ball with one hand, and glided far inside the free throw line to make a dunk.

"Bonu Vashabek's dunk is amazing!"

"He is the kind of player who can attract those who don't usually watch the NBA to actively pay attention to the NBA. His dunks are so entertaining!"

"Don't do this, the fans here will miss you." Bai Jidong joked.

Vashabek and Bai Jidong clapped their hands, "They will be even more reluctant to part with you."

This opening game is like a comeback performance.

Bai Jidong and Vashabek's seamless connection with the Bulls is beyond everyone's expectation.

Old Carter came off the bench in the third quarter, and Bai Jidong assisted him three times in a row.

Carter is no longer the omnipotent half-man and half-god, relying on three tricks—the old man made a three-pointer, the old man made a breakthrough with fake moves, and the old man moved his position—and got mixed up in the alliance.

He is the only one left among the four major shooting guards back then. For the purest love in his heart, for the championship, he is still persisting.

At the end of the game, the Bulls beat the Celtics by 18 points at home.

Bai Jidong's comeback debut can be said to be perfect, starting 24 minutes, scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

瓦沙贝克替补出场25分钟，得到12分6篮板2助攻还有惊人的6次抢断。

"The most wonderful thing in this world is that when you return to the original land, the feeling in your heart is exactly the same as when you first came here."

"I haven't played so comfortably for a long time." Bai Jidong accepted the interview with a smile.

"Looking at the white wolf on the field, I feel that he is ten years younger; watching his interview, I seem to see the high-spirited young man standing behind Michael, Scott, and Dennis."

Bai Jidong walked into the locker room and gave his teammates high fives.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Jidong saw that Rondo was silent.

"I'm thinking about my mistakes tonight," Rondo said.

"Don't think about it, 11 assists and only 1 turnover, this performance can score 99 points."

Rondo, who scored 99 points, would not be satisfied with 99 points, but would be annoyed why he couldn't score 100 points in one go.

There is a big difference between the Bulls' locker room and the Timberwolves. The people here have very different personalities, and it will take time to get to know them deeply.

However, this is not a problem for Bai Jidong.
