Chapter 238
12月23日,斯特恩宣布如果在1999年1月7日前劳资双方仍然没法达成一致,整个赛季都将被取消。

The players union originally planned to hold a meeting in New York on January 1 to vote on the proposals put forward by the owners, which had been strongly opposed by the union.

This time, however, Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon hoped to be able to vote by secret ballot. At the same time, some people said that they wanted to return to the game regardless of the result of the vote.

On January 1, the day before Stern's original deadline, Hunter and Stern finally reached an agreement, and the new agreement was passed by the union and the NBA Board of Governors.

The fight was widely seen as a victory for Stern and the owners, and a new deal was signed on Jan. 1, bringing the 20-day lockout to an end.

The lockout is finally over, but the negative impact of the lockout is immeasurable.The fans are very disgusted with the practices of both labor and management. In their view, both labor and management are comparing who is more greedy than whom.

The media was equally cynical, with sports columnist Tony Kornheiser describing labor negotiations as "a fight between millionaires," but with different types of millionaires.

"New York Times" expert Bill Sapolito believes that both labor and management have been greatly damaged both financially and in terms of image, and there is no winner at all.Stern defended himself, saying that the employer made many concessions during the negotiations, but Hunter believed that both parties were actually evasive.

1998-99赛季在2月5日正式开始,每支球队的常规赛被缩短到50场,204天的停摆使得464场常规赛被取消。

Although the impact is far-reaching, it will eventually pass. For players who are looking forward to the game, this day has been waiting too long.

While many lost their way and picked up countless vices while waiting, some were able to cleanse themselves and start the season in top form.

The new season is about to start, and the Bulls have changed from top to bottom.

The Zen master retired and a new coach named Tim Floyd arrived.

Bai Jidong knew nothing about this person, because he had no coaching experience in the NBA before.

This is the successor of the Zen master carefully selected by Klaus, and he must have some talent.

Although Jordan did not announce his retirement, everyone knew that he had decided to go.

Krause dismantled the Bulls' lineup. In order to strengthen McGrady, Krause exchanged Harper for a draft pick, and then sent Cole, Longley and others away.

The new season is about to start, and the Bulls are all assembled.The bulls who took the scepter from Jordan and others were not ready.

Bai Jidong is adapting to the role of No. [-] player, trying to say hello to everyone like Jordan.

But he can't be Jordan, can't make everyone awe, so he has to use his own way to make everyone fall in love with him.

"Do you feel that the atmosphere in the team has changed?" Buichler asked.

At this time, the veterans of the team, Bai Jidong, Rodman, Kukoc, McGrady and Buichler gathered together to discuss.

"A lot of new people came," Kukoc said.

"Yes, many old people have left," Buichler said.

"Look forward, you don't want to leave a bad impression on the new coach, right?" Bai Jidong laughed.

The NBA lockout gave Bai Jidong more training time.He made full use of this time to strengthen his body, and now he is the strongest man in the Bulls.

McGrady's body is much thicker than last season, obviously after some training.

Kukoc is still the same, with more beard on his face than last year.

"What about you? I think you haven't practiced much during the off-season, have you?" Bai Jidong expressed doubts about Rodman's state.

Rodman wanted to take off all his clothes and let Bai Jidong look at his steely dick, "You don't know that I exercise my levator anus every day? I do a lot of exercises, and now I'm fighting five times in a row. Not a problem."

"Really? Then I'm here to wish your AV career a smooth journey." Bai Jidong said.

"Hey, the opportunity has gone with the wind. I could have become a great AV actor, but the time is not waiting for me. God is too teasing. Why doesn't he let the NAB alliance disband? Then I can find breadcrumbs to buy out the contract and devote myself to the AV career It’s the happiest job in the world.” Rodman yearns for the AV career very much.

Bai Jidong took the ball and went to the side to practice with Robin.A player comes up and says, "Bye, can you fight me?"

"You are...Mark Bryant?" The reason why Bai Jidong remembered this unknown person was because he had the same surname as Kobe.

Mark nodded: "Yes, we will fight side by side from today on."

"It's my honor." Bai Jidong said so to everyone.

Mark laughed: "Then can you fight a bull with me?"

"I'm happy to do this, but." Bai Jidong said: "As you can see, my training is not over yet. When the training is over, let's come back to the bullfight."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After finishing speaking, Mark went to find other people to fight bulls.

Bai Jidong tried to shoot from every angle.What frustrates him is that, except for the point at the top of the arc, shooting from other positions doesn't feel good.

This is the disadvantage of pushing and shooting. It has been three years, and his posture adaptation period has not yet passed.In the past three years, Bai Weidong's shooting has been good and bad, when it is good, it is super god, when it is not good, it is super ghost.

There was Jordan before, and if he couldn't shoot, he would just give the ball to Jordan. Now that Jordan has retired, the task of attacking the tough ones will naturally fall on him.

"Robin, tell me, what's going on here?" Bai Jidong said, "Why do you go too far every time?"

"It may be that the recent strength training has been too hard, and the training with the ball has been left behind." Robin said: "Your strength has improved a lot, so get used to it."

"How many days have you gotten used to it?" Bai Jidong said impatiently.

"I don't know, it depends on how you feel." Robin said truthfully.

Bai Jidong stopped, "No more practice." "Why?" Robin asked.

"If I don't feel good, I won't be in a good mood for the day if I continue to practice." Bai Jidong grabbed the ball, "It's better to have fun."

"Entertainment?" Robin saw Bai Jidong approaching Mark, "Then you can entertain yourself."

In addition to several rookies, the Bulls also introduced Crone David, Rusty LaRue and others during the offseason.

On the whole, this year's Bulls can be regarded as a complete reconstruction.

The management's idea of ​​team building is clear, that is to build the team with Bai Jidong as the core.Each of these new team members can match with Bai Weidong.

The new coach Tim Floyd took office as a new official, but he was not in a hurry to set fire to his power.

He held an intra-team match, and Bai Jidong was excluded, and he wanted to watch the match with Bai Jidong.

Compared with watching the battle, Bai Jidong wants to participate in the match, only in this way can he understand the strength of these new teammates.

Floyd has made a decision, and he can't dismiss the coach's decision, so he has to agree.

"Tracey is good, his skills are very comprehensive." Floyd said suddenly.

Bai Jidong also felt the same way.After an offseason of training, McGrady's body is much stronger.

In the end, McGrady led the white team to slaughter the black team with rookies as the main personnel structure.

McGrady has shown amazing comprehensiveness, with a certain level of offense, organization, and single-point blasting.

If he had to pick a fault, it's that he didn't play very well defensively.

McGrady's defense has something to do with his personal will, and sometimes he is habitually lazy. At critical moments, his defense is still reliable.

In addition, Bai Jidong also noticed the performance of the two rookies.

Lieve LaFrentz and Jerome James.LaFrentz's performance is exactly what the scouting report says.The offensive end can open up space, and the shooting range covers beyond the three-point line; the defensive end can protect defensive rebounds, and assists in blocking shots extremely fiercely. The game just now even gave McGrady a tragic blood cap.

LaFrentz fit the description of the scouting report, but the scouting report left out a crucial point.

LaFrentz's block is fierce, but not powerful.

Generally speaking, fierce blocking can create a kind of deterrence that envelopes the penalty area. However, this deterrent effect cannot be seen in LaFrentz.

At this stage, LaFrentz's blocking is as lively as Marcus Kemp's, but no one is afraid.

Even if he blocks ten balls, opponents will still spare no effort to attack the penalty area.Because defense has no deterrent effect.

LaFrentz is a typical "blocks shots, defends shit" player.

As for Jerome James.As a second-round pick, his performance exceeded expectations.

Jerome has shown excellent rebounding ability, and he also has a certain level of single defense and assist defense on the defensive end.

As long as he continues to improve at this rate, he will surely gain a foothold in the league.

Bai Jidong is more concerned about LaFrentz, this arrogant Tanhuaxiu doesn't take anyone seriously, I wonder if he can listen to his advice?
"Bye, what do you think of their performance?" Floyd asked.

Bai Jidong answered truthfully: "The overall performance is very good, Reeve's defense needs to be polished, Tracy's improvement is beyond imagination, and others are not surprised." "What do you think is the problem with Reeve's defense?" Floyd De asked.

"His defense lacks deterrence. Although he blocks shots fiercely, he easily misses others. His desire to block shots is too strong. Whether it is a soft fingertip block or an embarrassing volleyball block, it is just a block."

"I hope Reeve can improve the way of assisting defense, and don't forget your defender while assisting in defense." Bai Jidong said.

 Thank you for the reward 007
