Vol 2 Chapter 455: Scars on the Young Guards

On December 23, 2007, the Chicago United Center Arena was full of seats.
Since Jordan topped the Chicago summit, the Chicago Bulls' home has been one of the league's highest-occupied stadiums.
In the following days, regardless of whether this team is strong or weak, this stadium has never cooled down.
Because of Jordan, this arena has become a holy place for basketball.
At the same time, because of Chicago fans, this basketball holy place became so shining.
After Jordan retired from Chicago, the Chicago Bulls became a bullying team.
Since Jordan retired in 1998, the Chicago Bulls have set a record for the sixth consecutive year and the bottom of the fourth consecutive year.
The Chicago Bulls ’fall rate after losing Jordan is staggering.
After six years of extremely dormant darkness, the Chicago Bulls, led by former Magic player Scott Skiles, finally returned to the ranks of the strong teams in the 04-05 season, and the team entered the playoffs again.
The young Bulls, with Ben Gordon, Lor Deng, Hinrich and other young potential players as the core, showed their potential and strength in the NBA. They were once considered as the most promising team in the NBA in the future.
Last season, he easily eliminated the defending champion in the playoffs, broke through the first round, and reached the eastern semifinals.
According to the potential and strength of the Bull players, their future only needs time to become the overlord of the ruling party!
Everything looks so beautiful.
Whether it is a player, a coach or a fan, at that time, I was full of expectations and praise for the future of the entire team.
Until ...
Until the Chicago Bulls met a wayward player named Kobe Bryant and a wayward team called the Los Angeles Lakers.
Kobe Bryant left the Los Angeles Lakers in the offseason this season, the world's farce.
This farce between Kobe and the Lakers, it was not the Lakers who were injured, and the Lakers did not lose Kobe.
It was n’t Kobe who was injured, Kobe got the reinforcement he wanted, Kidd, Randolph, Turkgro ...
It can be said that Kobe used his threat to get everything he could get.
Similarly, the Lakers fans were not injured. At the Staples Arena, they can finally see the legendary triangle attack tactics!
In this farce of Kobe and the Lakers, only one was really injured, that is the Chicago Bulls.
A young team that was originally united, because of Kobe ’s trade farce, the whole team lost unity, lost their goals, lost their trust, and lost their unshakable spirit.
Last season, the Chicago Bulls was the fourth-easiest in the East, the league's most promising young team, and the future Eastern Conference overlord.
With the age structure of the Chicago Bulls, this season under the leadership of the team building coach Scott Skiles will only be stronger and not weaker.
What surprises everyone is that this determined and promising team has a record of 3 wins and 21 losses!
In the east of this year, there are a lot of teams that did not get a victory when facing the western team.
These teams include the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat. These are two super-meal that can be foreseen before the start of the season.
With the strength of these two teams, let them fight for the victory of a game when facing the Western team, that is a fool's dream.
However, no one will ever think that the Chicago Bulls are the same level as the New York Knicks and Miami Heat!
No, the Chicago Bulls' record in the entire league is only stronger than the Miami Heat. It has already moved from a strong team in the East and played the second round last season.
Nineteen consecutive losing streak this season, this is the Chicago Bulls, who dares to believe?
Ben Gordon, Lor Deng, Hinrich, these three promising players still remain in the Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls have completely retained the main force and core of the success of the past three seasons this season.
This team, which should have become more and more successful, has now become one of the biggest top picks in the 2008 NBA Draft.
This season, the Chicago Bulls' performance has been amazing among NBA experts and fame. According to Pippen, the Chicago Bulls this season are reverse supersonic.
Supersonic performance this season is far beyond everyone's expectations.
And the performance of the Chicago Bulls is really far below everyone's expectations.
It doesn't matter if the team does not improve.
There are many motivations for the team to move forward, players, tactics, coaches, as well as various psychological factors and so on.
But the team's players should always improve?
Is especially the Chicago Bulls, which is dominated by young players. This team should have changed a lot every year.
This season's Chicago Bulls player is indeed a big change in a year, but this big change is incredible, it is a big slip!
Last season, Ben Gordon was already a player with close to 22 points per game. He and Wade had a hard time in the playoffs. With this season, there are only 18 points left.
The average player's score has dropped, the efficiency should be increased, Ben Gordon is not like this, Ben Gordon is a real decline in strength, rather than deliberately not shot.
Ben Gordon averaged 4 points less per game this season, a 5 percent drop in field goal percentage and a 10 percent drop in three-point field goal percentage.
This is a direct drop from an All-Star player to a somewhat cancerous role player.
Last season, Lor Deng was already a player who was close to averaging 20 points per game. This season, he has dropped to a player with 17 points per game. Although his shooting percentage has not dropped, it is also exaggerated like Ben Gordon. % Shooting percentage.
As the two core players of the team, this season's performance is naturally very difficult to satisfy.
The player's behavior is almost self-abuse, the team should have intervened long ago.
It is embarrassing that in the face of Ben Gordon and Lor Deng's almost self-abrupt behavior, the team's management even has no reason to intervene.
After all, such a thing happened now, they were completely asked for it.
If it was not for them to trade Kobe with the Lakers, such a thing would not happen.
All this Chicago Bulls caused this season is the fault of the Chicago Bulls management.
If it weren't for them to believe in a fairly unreliable team like the Lakers, the Bulls wouldn't be like this.
When the players of the team realize the coldness and cruelty of the team, let these players continue to sell their lives for the team, that is really an extravagant hope.
Besides, the core players of the Chicago Bulls are still young players.
How could they still work wholeheartedly for a team that can easily trade them?
But, as the management of the Bulls, when the team has problems, the first solution that comes to mind is of course not to solve themselves.
Solve their own unwillingness, and solve the core players, but of course, they can only solve the head coach.
Before the home team bench of the United Center Arena, Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles looked at the ongoing game on the court, and the expression on his face was filled with regrets and nostalgia.
"Scott, you are the best of all the coaches I have worked with. I thought our cooperation could continue. Once, I believed that we would become the leader of the Chicago Bulls again, but now ... ... Scott, I ’m really sorry, but I want to say such a sentence to you now. "
Recalling the scene before facing the general manager John Parkson in the Chicago Bulls general manager's office before the start of the game, the expression on Scott Skiles' face was bitter.
He had thought about the way the Chicago Bulls failed.
But he never really thought he would fail in this way.
The bull he built in accordance with the 04 Pistons has not yet begun the miracle of the Auburn Hills palace that belongs to the bull. It ended in this way first.
"Scott, this supersonic game, I need a game to win, we have lost 19 games in a row, the Chicago Bulls will never allow 20 games in a row."
"Scott, you understand what I mean, if such a situation really happens, you and I, we need to be responsible for this, I am not a coward, and I do n’t need someone to be responsible for me, but I am still in Chicago Are there any tasks completed. "
Thinking back to John Parkson, Skiles withdrew his gaze from the court and closed his eyes.
Now the Chicago Bulls want to beat the Supersonics in this game and end their 19-game losing streak.
This is an impossible task.
Not only did he know that it was an impossible task, but John Parkson also knew it was an impossible task.
In this period of Chicago's victory, the Chicago Bulls were not able to catch up with the powerful No. 9 like No. 23.
Not to mention now?
As soon as the game started, Scott Skiles did not report any hope.
This game is his last game in the Chicago Bulls.
"Scott, I want to take revenge. I must take revenge on the Lakers who ruined us, and Kobe who ruined us. Damn Kupchak, I swear, I must let him go to hell!
The hysterical roar, what can such a roar change?
Scott Skyles knew nothing.
By the end of this game, it had nothing to do with him.
Watching the Seattle supersonic player raging on the Supersonic Nine at the Chicago United Center Arena, Skiles held it in both hands.
Although he didn't say anything, he also had a mission that he wanted to complete on this team but could not complete!
This is a team he built with one hand. In this team he built with one hand, he has players who make him unable to give up, as well as players who make him extremely ashamed.
Without the farce of the offseason, he and his players should have been extremely beautiful!
Without the farce of the offseason, they should have been able to stage a thrilling and powerful dialogue with the supersonic speed!
But now, such a powerful dialogue has become a massacre.
And it is the most desperate kind of slaughter!
He can't see any anger on the players he loves.
If his departure can be exchanged for their anger, he is willing to leave like this.
可 ……
Skells closed his eyes in pain.
The low morale in Chicago and the passing emotions of the players reminded Yesi of the last game against the New York Knicks.
Now that the sluggish situation on the Chicago Bulls makes Yesi really feel quite incredible.
Is this the youth invincible team last season?
If it wasn't for watching the team's familiar jerseys were indeed the Chicago Bulls, Yers even wondered if this was a New York Knicks posing.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, after the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Chicago Bulls 116-97 on the road, Yez could clearly feel the numbness of the Chicago Bulls players.
This numbness shocked Yesi.
The numbness approached himself in front of him. The Chicago No. 7 that was about to end was really Ben Gordon, who was called the Chicago miracle in the playoffs against Wade last season.
"Another mission was completed."
Ben Gordon did n’t want to stay in the stadium after the game whistle sounded.
Here, even one more minute would make him sick.
He wanted to leave immediately, but he must stay here now.
Ok?
Silently walking down the field, Ben Gordon stopped in front of the supersonic number nine standing in front of his road.
This person who stands in front of him and is looking at him with disappointed eyes is his idol, a perfect incredible legend in active duty.
Ben Gordon, who had decided that he would be numb as long as the bull was still shaking after seeing the idol like this.
The shaking was short-lived. After a short shaking, Ben Gordon gritted his teeth and walked away from Yesi's side.
Just before Ben Gordon passed by, a cold voice came from Ben Gordon's ear.
"It is foolish to punish yourself by others' faults, it is even more foolish to punish others by your own sacrifices."
Looking at the leaving back ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ben Gordon's already numb face has changed color.
After the game, Skiles, who kept his eyes on Ben Gordon, saw the expression on Ben Gordon's face, and he was always in a heavy mood. He actually showed a relaxed smile.
Now maybe you can really leave here with a relaxed mood.
Skiles looked at the supersonic No. 9 figure surrounded by supersonic players leaving the player's channel, and his face showed a very grateful look.
"Yes, I just got the news. Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles announced his resignation from the team's general manager at the post-match press conference. Bulls general manager John Parkson has accepted Skiles' resignation! "
"Yes, you are playing a team coach again!"
Wang Han is very excited now.
Yes is surprised now.
Skiles left the bull
Yes, who had recovered from a slightly stunned state, was also a little sorry.
This is a good coach.
And this good coach used his departure to achieve his reputation as a coach killer.
On December 25, 2007, the Seattle supersonic plane landed in Cleveland.
