Chapter 85

Then.

There is no need to deliberately play with contact.

This saves energy, reduces the risk of injury, and since his talent in that area isn't dominant.

Then Su Yan doing this is very correct."

"Yes.

But... Su Yan not using his strength is not a reason for other players to bully him at will; when they really fight, Su Yan's fists don't fear anyone."

"Some people seem to have forgotten Su Yan's "Flame Fist Might" in the Summer League."

"Don't just think of the gentle-sounding "Prediction Master"; "Gentle Thug" + "Flame Fist" is also Su Yan's synonym.

Really.

Don't easily provoke Su Yan, otherwise... his dual personality will make you suffer pain and feel fear!!!"

"That's right, Su Yan has a dual personality.

First personality: "Prediction Master".

Second personality: "Gentle Thug"!"

"But taking a step back, Su Yan is a guard, transforming into a "Gentle Thug", KO'ing a strong frontcourt player with one punch; that is truly fierce."

"Handsome explosion!"

"Love it, love it!"

"Su Yan is handsome and can fight; he is truly... too cool!!!"

"..."

Ball skills maxed out, martial arts maxed out, looks maxed out, popularity maxed out!

Su Yan used "Flame Fist" to protect himself while harvesting a wave of popularity, making his preseason performance even more brilliant.

Great on both offense and defense.

Su Yan's performance in the preseason has already surpassed all rookies.

As an undrafted player, he played with "Best Rookie" performance, beating up multiple All-Star players, which made him attract hatred from rookies to players.

Constantly attracting hate points.

Fans watched with pleasure, discussed intensely, and kept praising him, while players also targeted Su Yan, determined to compete with him in the regular season.

At the same time.

The NBA official was not idle, nor could they be.

Brawl, ten people in chaos, two unconscious, one with a mouth full of blood, front teeth shattered; the conflict between the Bulls and Trail Blazers last night.

Once fermented.

The nature was somewhat malicious.

If Su Yan had actively looked for trouble and beaten up Randolph and Rasheed, the consequences would have been unthinkable; fortunately, it was just self-defense.

However.

Some of the strikes were indeed too heavy.

In the end, Commissioner David Stern, after investigation and consideration, gave: Randolph and Rasheed a 2-game suspension and a $2,000 fine.

Su Yan was suspended for one game.

And since there was exactly one game left in the preseason, Su Yan's suspension wouldn't affect him playing in the new season's opening game.

Regarding this.

Fans also accepted it readily.

Su Yan is only 19, a hot-blooded young man, with flesh, blood, and a temper; he doesn't fear violence, and whoever dares to provoke him must be fought back.

This is very reasonable.

But fighting is fighting, anger is anger, and the consequences that should be borne must be borne.

This is also the "big picture" mindset that a leader, a rising superstar, should possess.

Then.

Su Yan's preseason journey ended early, but it was perfect enough, making countless fans look forward to his debut in the new season's opening game.

Three days later.

The preseason ended.

The new season's opening game happened to be on the first day of the new month, November 1st; before that, there were three days of rest and adjustment.

2 days later.

The day before the new season.

8:00 AM.

United Center training arena.

All Bulls players arrived at the arena on time for daily training, preparing to welcome the new season in the best state.

First warm-up item.

Morning run.

Everyone lined up in a row, jogging around the edge of two full courts, for a total of 10 laps.

"Huff... huff..."

After only five laps, Pippen couldn't take it anymore, already panting, and couldn't help but complain: "I'm at my age.

How can I do the same training as you young guys?

Can't take it, can't take it.

Besides.

I heard experts say that morning runs aren't as good as morning exercises!"

Expert: I never said that.

"Oh?"

Su Yan blinked and took over the conversation, "Morning exercises are for students; for us, the intensity is still a bit lacking.

Morning runs are better.

We can warm up better and faster, and get our bodies moving."

"Ha..."

"Hehehe..."

While Su Yan was stating his thoughts seriously, Yao in front and Chandler behind were both laughing.

"This kid..."

Pippen also looked at Su Yan with a doting smile.

Su Yan:???

What the f*ck?

What are you laughing at?

Family, who understands, what are these strange guys laughing at!!!

After about two hours of warm-up training, everyone went to the rest area one after another, and then... Coach Skiles walked over.

He held a schedule and smiled: "Guys, everyone's performance in the preseason was good, whether it was individual performance or teamwork.

All full of energy.

I can see your longing and expectation for the new season in your game state; this is a very good signal.

Keep your confidence.

Keep your fighting spirit.

I believe... the Bulls, who have been silent for 5 years, will amaze everyone in the new season and shock the entire league!

Tomorrow is the opening game.

There are 4 games in total: Spurs vs. Mavericks, Lakers vs. Nuggets, Nets vs. Magic, Bulls vs. Celtics.

The Spurs are the defending champions, the Lakers have the "Luxury Four", the Nets were a Finals team last year, and the Magic have the scoring champion "T-mac" McGrady.

The first three games are all hot matchups.

And we also have the "Dragon Country Twin Stars", and the matchup with the Celtics and "The Truth" Pierce is also full of highlights.

So.

Go fight magnificently, and let the whole league feel the powerful combat power of the brand-new Bulls after the rebuild." ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
