On the 23rd, the United Center Arena in Chicago was full.

Ever since Jordan became king in Chicago, the Chicago Bulls' home court has been one of the league's most attended arenas.

In the days that followed, whether the team was strong or weak, the arena never cooled down.

Because of Jordan, the arena became a mecca for basketball.

At the same time, because of the Chicago fans, this basketball mecca has become so shining.

After Jordan retired and left Chicago, the Chicago Bulls became a team that everyone was looking for.

Since Jordan's retirement in 1998, the Chicago Bulls have set a record of six consecutive years of lottery, four years in a row, and the bottom of the lottery for four consecutive years.

The Chicago Bulls' drop after losing Jordan was staggering.

After six years of incomparably dark hibernation, the Chicago Bulls, led by former Magic player Scott Skels, finally returned to the top of the team in the 04-05 season, and the team entered the playoffs again.

The potential and strength of the young Bulls, with Ben Gordon, Lore Deng, Hinrich and other young potential players as the core, in the NBA is shocking, and it was even considered the most promising team in the future of the NBA.

Last season, they easily eliminated the defending champions in the playoffs, broke through the first round, and reached the semifinals of the Eastern Conference.

According to the potential and strength of the Bulls players, their future just needs time to become the overlord of the dominant side!

Everything looks so good.

Whether it was the players, the coach or the fans, at that time, there was a lot of expectation and praise for the future of the whole team.

Until......

Until the Chicago Bulls ran into a wayward player named Kobe Bryant and a wayward team called the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kobe Bryant's farce of leaving the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason has attracted the attention of the world.

In this farce between Kobe and the Lakers, it was not the Lakers who were injured, and the Lakers did not lose Kobe.

It wasn't Kobe who was injured, Kobe got the reinforcements he wanted, Kidd, Randolph, Turkglou......

Suffice it to say, Bryant got everything he could with his threat.

Similarly, Lakers fans are not injured, and at Staples Arena, they can finally see that truly legendary triangle offensive tactic!

In this farce between Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, there is only one one who is really injured, and that is the Chicago Bulls.

A young team that was originally united, because of the farce of Kobe's trade, the whole team lost unity, lost goals, lost trust, and lost invincible spirit.

Last season, the Chicago Bulls were fourth in the East, the league's most promising young team, and the future Eastern Conference hegemon.

With the age structure of the Chicago Bulls, this season will only be stronger and not weaker under founding head coach Scott Skels.

To everyone's surprise, this enterprising and promising team now has a record of 3 wins and 21 losses!

In this year's East, there are many teams that have not won a single game against the teams in the West.

Among those teams are the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat, two super-fish bellies that could be predicted before the season began.

With the quality of these two teams, it would be a fool's dream for them to win a game against a team in the West.

But no matter what, no one would ever think that the Chicago Bulls would be a team at the same level as the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat!

No, now the Chicago Bulls' record in the entire league is only better than the Miami Heat, and they have gone from a strong team in the East to a team that played in the second round last season all the way down to almost the bottom of the East!

Nineteen consecutive losses in the season, this is the Chicago Bulls, who would dare to believe it?

Ben Gordon, Lore Deng, Hinrich, three once promising players still remain with the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls have completely retained the backbone and core of the past three seasons of success.

The team, which was supposed to be more and more successful, is now one of the biggest favorites in the draft.

This season's Chicago Bulls' performance is miraculous among NBA experts and celebrities, and according to Pippen, the Chicago Bulls have been reverse supersonic this season.

SuperSonics' performance this season has far exceeded all expectations.

And the Chicago Bulls' performance is really far below everyone's expectations.

It's okay if the team doesn't improve.

There are a lot of things that drive the team forward, the players, the tactics, the coach, and all kinds of psychological factors.

But the players on the team should always improve, right?

Especially the Chicago Bulls, who are predominantly young, should have changed a lot of things every year.

This season's Chicago Bulls players are indeed a big change every year, but this big change is an incredible big drop!

Ben Gordon was already a player who averaged nearly 22 points per game last season, and he struggled with Wade in the playoffs, and he has 18 points per game left this season.

The average player has dropped in scores, and the efficiency should have increased, but this is not the case with Ben Gordon, who is a real slip in strength, not a deliberate failure to shoot.

This season, Ben Gordon is averaging four fewer points per game, shooting 5 percent from the field and 10 percent from three-point range.

This is a direct drop from an All-Star caliber player to a somewhat cancerous role player.

Lore Deng, who was already averaging nearly 20 points per game last season, has dropped to a 17-point player per game this season, and while his shooting percentage is not as exaggerated as Ben Gordon's, he has also dropped his 4% shooting percentage.

As two key players in the team, it is natural that this season will be very unsatisfactory.

The player's almost self-defeating behavior should have been intervened a long time ago.

What is embarrassing is that in the face of Ben Gordon and Lore Deng's almost self-defeating behavior, the team's management is not even so easy to find a reason to intervene.

After all, what is happening now is completely self-inflicted.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to trade Kobe Bryant with the Lakers, this wouldn't have happened.

The Chicago Bulls have caused all of this this season is all the fault of the Chicago Bulls management.

If it weren't for their credulity in believing a rather unreliable team like the Lakers, the Bulls wouldn't be where they are now.

When the players of the team realize the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of the team, it is really a luxury to let these players continue to work for the team.

What's more, the core players of the Chicago Bulls are still young players.

How could they possibly go all in and out for a team that could easily trade them?

It's just that, as the management of the Bulls, when the team has a problem, the first solution that comes to mind is certainly not to solve itself.

Solve your own unwillingness, solve the core players and can't solve it, and in the end, of course, you can only solve the head coach.

In front of the home team's bench at the United Center arena, Chicago Bulls head coach Scott Skels looked at the game in progress on the court, and the expression on his face was full of regret and nostalgia.

"Scott, you're the best of all the head coaches I've worked with, and I thought we could continue to work together, and I thought, I was going to be the leader of the Chicago Bulls' rise again, but now...... Scott, I'm really sorry to say something like this to you right now. ”

Thinking back to the scene of facing the team's general manager John Paxson in the Chicago Bulls' general manager's office before the start of this game, Scott Skels had a bitter expression on his face.

He had thought about how he would fail with the Chicago Bulls.

But he really never expected to fail in such a way.

The bull he built according to the 04 piston ended in this way before the miracle of the Auburn Hills palace that belonged to the bull began.

"Scott, this game against the SuperSonics, I need a game to win, we've lost 19 games in a row, and the Chicago Bulls will never allow a situation where 20 games in a row can happen."

"Scott, you know what I mean, if this happens, me and you, we need to be responsible for this, I'm not a coward, and I don't need someone to take care of me, but I still have unfinished business in Chicago."

Thinking back to John Paxson's words, Skels withdrew his gaze from the court and closed his eyes.

The Chicago Bulls now want to beat the SuperSonics in this game and end their 19-game losing streak.

This is not a complete task.

Not only did he know it was impossible, but John Paxson knew it was impossible.

In this period of total victory for Chicago, the Chicago Bulls are unable to cope with the powerful No. 9 like No. 23.

And now?

Scott Skells didn't have any hope at the start of the game.

This game was his last game with the Chicago Bulls.

"Scott, I want revenge, I must take revenge on the Lakers who ruined us, Kobe Bryant who ruined us, damn Kupchak, I swear, I must let him go to hell!"

Hysterical rants, what can such a rant change?

Scott Skels didn't know anything.

By the end of the game, it had nothing to do with him.

Looking at the Supersonic Nine on the court with the Seattle SuperSonics raging at the Chicago Union Center Arena, Skels held his hands fiercely.

Although he didn't say anything, he also had a mission that he wanted to accomplish in this team but was not able to accomplish!

This is the team he has built, and in this team he has built with his own hands, he has players that he can't let go of, and there are players who he can't let go of.

If it weren't for that offseason farce, he and his players would have been incredibly good!

If it weren't for that offseason farce, they would have been able to stage a thrilling conversation with the SuperSonics!

But now, such a strong dialogue has turned into a massacre.

And it's the most desperate kind of slaughter!

He doesn't see any anger in the players he loves.

If his departure could be exchanged for their anger, he was willing to leave like this.

Can......

Skyles closed his eyes in pain.

Chicago's low morale and the mood of the players to get by reminded Yes of the last game against the New York Knicks.

Now the gloomy state of the Chicago Bulls makes Yes really feel quite incredible.

Is this the same team that was invincible in youth last season?

If it weren't for the fact that the familiar jersey on this team was indeed the Chicago Bulls, Yees would even wonder if it was the New York Knicks fake.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, after the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Chicago Bulls on the road, Ye Si could clearly feel the numbness of the current Chicago Bulls players.

This numbness shocked Ye Sidu.

The Chicago No. 7 who was numbly walking towards himself and preparing to go off the court was really the Ben Gordon who played against Wade in the playoffs last season, with the Chicago Miracle and the Yes of Illinois?

"Another mission completed."

Ben Gordon didn't want to stay in this damn arena long after the final whistle blew.

Here, even a minute longer would make him sick.

He wanted to leave right away, but he had to stay here now.

Well?

Ben Gordon, who was silently walking down the field, stopped in surprise at the Supersonic Nine standing in front of him in front of his road.

The man who stood in front of him, looking at him with disappointment, was his idol, a perfect unbelievable living legend.

Even Ben Gordon, who had decided to be numb for a day as long as he was in the Bulls, was shaken after seeing such a look in his idol.

The shaking was short-lived, and after a brief wavering, Ben Gordon gritted his teeth and walked away from Yes's side.

It's just that before Ben Gordon passed by, a cold voice came from Ben Gordon's ears.

"It is stupid to punish oneself for the faults of others, and it is stupid to punish others for one's own sacrifice."

Looking at the back of the departing figure, Ben Gordon's originally numb face had changed color.

And Skyles, who had been focusing on Ben Gordon on the sidelines after the game, saw the expression on Ben Gordon's face now, and he actually showed a relaxed smile when he was in a heavy mood.

Now maybe you can really leave here with a relaxed mood.

Skyles looked at the figure of the supersonic number nine who was surrounded by supersonic players and left the tunnel with a very grateful look on his face.

"Yes, just got the news that Chicago Bulls head coach Scott Skels announced his resignation to the team's general manager at the post-game press conference, and Bulls general manager John Paxson has accepted Skyles' resignation!"

"Yes, you've got another head coach of another team!"

Wang Han is very excited now.

Ye Si was surprised now.

Skyles left the Bulls

Ye Si, who came back from a slightly stunned state, was also a little regretful.

It's a good coach.

And this good coach has achieved his reputation as a coach killer with his departure.

On May 25, the Seattle SuperSonics plane landed in Cleveland.
