The night before the game, Jordan called the room where Gan Guoyang was staying, and the two chatted for quite a while.
On the phone, Jordan didn't talk about basketball with Gan Guoyang, but two other things:
First, how to deal with the annoying parts of life after becoming famous;
Second, Jordan was curious how Guoyang could be so strong as to lift the 245-pound Lambier into the air and slam him to the ground.
When Jordan first arrived in Chicago, he was just a nobody, but he quickly caught the attention of the entire city of Chicago with his unparalleled court performances and high-scoring games.
Chicago is different from Portland; as America's third-largest city, it was once one of the two main centers in the north of America alongside New York.
Anyone who has seen mob movies knows that the two strongholds of the Mafia are New York and Chicago.
