Jordan’s documentary "The Last Dance" in the last season of the Bulls officially started airing today. What needs to be mentioned is that the name of the Last Dance did not come up later. Before the 1997-98 season, many people had realized it. This will be Jordan's last dance. Next, let's recall the dusty past and reveal the truth!
Bull dynasty did not collapse in a day. The reason why it fell apart after winning the championship in 1998 was determined by many factors, and some hidden dangers had already been exposed, but Jordan's influence was too great and forced to suppress it.
All this starts with the conflict between Zen master and Bull’s management. The ambitious Zen master wants to learn from Riley as the godfather. He keeps extending his hand to the management, angering the Bull’s owner Reinsdorf and General Manager Klaus. . Therefore, in those years, there were often rumors that the Zen master was going to be swept out, but every time it was the teacher of Jordan Li Bao.
In the summer of 1996, Klaus refused to give Zen Master a long-term contract and tried to exchange Pippen for Camp. Fortunately, Jordan also faced the problem of renewing his contract. He clearly told his boss Rainsdorf: Keep Pippen and renew the contract. Zen Master, I just renew the contract. Since 1996, Jordan has stated clearly on many occasions: is only willing to play for the Zen master in his life. If he can't get him to continue coaching, he would rather retire . In the end, the team management was forced by Jordan's threat and renewed Jordan for one year, and Zen Master and Rodman only renewed their contract for one year.
The chaotic 96-97 season is over. Zen Master led the Bulls to win the fifth championship, but General Manager Klaus was dissatisfied with his employment schedule and decided to replace him again, even the replacement of Zen Master was selected. Klaus believes that the baby Kukoch he has found is too few scenes, which is deliberately done by the Zen master. He interpreted it as a demonstration and provocation by the Zen master.
In addition to wanting to change Zen Master, Kraus even wants to use Pippen to trade the Raptors' selection, a Tracy who is regarded as Pippen II. This made Jordan and Zen Master furious, but the boss stopped the deal at the last moment. His goal was to win the championship, not to build a blueprint for the future.
In the end, Zen Master stayed with 6 million in 1 year, and Rodman renewed his contract with 9 million in 1 year. In the end, Jordan agreed to the team’s one-year $33 million renewal contract. However, at this time, Jordan has been very clear that this will It was his last season,
, and the rain is coming. The 1997-98 season has not yet started. Klaus and Zen Master have already sent a signal that the Bull Dynasty will disintegrate! It is such a divorced Bulls team, driven by a sense of honor, finally completed the feat of 3 consecutive championships! After winning the championship, the Bulls team suffered more grief than joy, and Pippen burst into tears on the spot!
After Jordan negotiated with his boss Reinsdorf, his proposal to retain Zen Master and Pippen was rejected. Jordan understood that without Zen Master and Pippen, it would be difficult for him to win the championship. After thinking twice, he finally announced his retirement on January 13, 1999. , The Bull Dynasty disintegrated!
