The days after returning to Chicago were boring and repetitive, with the Bulls and Jackson starting to prepare for the playoffs, giving those who should be rested a break, and letting the few players play a dozen more to see if they could find their groove at this time to contribute in the next games, and finally fine-tune the playoff rotation with that.

It is precisely because of Jackson's daily commotion and disrupted rotation that Chicago has won and lost during this time, but they still firmly occupy the first position in the league, and any team is still more than 5 games away from them!

Therefore, the attitude of the Bulls team towards the regular season is also very relaxed.

And with the end of the All-Star Game, another important node of the NBA regular season is also coming.

Trading Deadline!

The trade deadline is not fixed every year, and it generally comes about half a month after the All-Star break, that is, between February 5 and February 20 every year!

The so-called trade deadline is also the last time for each team to make a major adjustment each season, after which no team can make any trades until the end of the Finals!

Of course, the signing of free agents and the buyout of players in the team are not within this stipulated time, but this can only be regarded as a minor repair after all.

The real reinforcement and trading still depends on this day!

There have been many crazy cut-off arms races in the history of the NBA, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the deadline of the 2008 season, when the Lakers acquired Gasol and triggered several huge deals that shook the league!

For example, Phoenix got O'Neal, for example, the Cavaliers got Big Ben, and for example, the Mavericks welcomed Kidd again, and the Spurs traded for Richard Jefferson......

All of these big deals were made before the deadline of that year!

On this day, some teams want to strengthen and go further in the playoffs, and there are teams that want to 'make up for weaknesses' and they will trade positive assets in the team so that the team can lose a few more games so that they can get a better place in the draft.

At the same time, this day is also the day that journalists and fans are most looking forward to, countless people watch TV and newspapers, just wait for the latest news and deals, and then study who made it and who has become the wronged leader!

For fans and the media, the trade deadline was an absolute revelry!

But for the players, this day may not be so wonderful, except for a few teams whose absolute core and rebuilding cornerstone do not have to worry about being traded, most of the rest of the players will tremble before the trade deadline, they don't know if they will be traded, and they don't know where they will be traded.

Those players who have a certain amount of strength, no matter where they go, have a ball to play and get a salary, are okay, at most they are to change places to develop, although it is also very troublesome to find a house again, move, and adapt to a new environment, but at least there is no need to worry about the problem of jobs.

And those players who are mediocre in strength, who have just found an opportunity in the team and are even water cooler guardians themselves, really don't know what will happen tomorrow, and can only pray that they will not be traded, or that they can be traded to a good place.

The first to do this year is the Dallas Mavericks!

The core trio of their team, known as the '3J's', were once expected by the Dallas to help the team get out of trouble.

But as early as the 95-96 season, Mashburn and Jackson were unhappy with each other, accusing each other of playing too alone, but fortunately, the team's head coach Motta came forward and persuaded them bitterly, and finally let the two put the contradiction aside temporarily.

But it's just a temporary setback, and what all Dallas people can't imagine is that this season, not only the contradictions between Mashburn and Jackson have intensified again, but even the team's most high-hoped, playmaker Kidd, has also been involved in infighting!

The cause of the incident is a sexy singer named Donnie Breston, and it is impossible to know which of the 3J's she got together with first.

But what can be known is that in Dallas's away game to Atlanta this season, Kidd and Breston first made an appointment to meet, but the person who got into the Breston limousine at the door of the hotel inexplicably became Jackson.

Then after learning about this, it was not Kidd who was the first to get angry, but Mashburn, who had a long-time 'crush' on Breston......

In short, the four-cornered love of three people and a woman made such a hopeful and talented team completely break up!

So, on December 26, 1996, the day after Christmas, Kidd was sent to the Suns in a big deal involving six people.

Then on February 14, Valentine's Day, after the All-Star break, Mashburn was traded by the Mavericks to the Heat.

In the end, just three days later, the last remaining J, Jimmy Jackson was sent to the Nets in a super deal involving nine players, and the era of the Dallas 3J combination is completely history, and Dallas has once again entered a rebuild!

Of course, their rebuild proved to be the right thing to do, as the Dallas only had to wait two years for the pillar and icon who had made the team glorious for 20 years.

Then there's the Indiana Pacers, who have had a terrible season this season, and they're trading back to bring back their starting guard Mark Jackson from last season, hoping to salvage the team's poor record this season.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that Mark Jackson's contract with an annual salary of 3 million is actually only the last half a year, which is an expiring contract!

Coupled with the recent rumors between the Pacers and Larry Bird, everyone believes that the real purpose of the Pacers trade is definitely to make more room in the offseason!

Just as the trade deadline is getting closer and closer, there are more and more rumors, and every year when everyone is most panicked, several trade rumors related to the Bulls suddenly appeared.

The core figure of the transaction is Lin Tian!

Some say the Timberwolves are offering Stephen Marbury and a future first-round pick.

It has also been said that the Milwaukee Bucks are also interested in trading one of Glenn Robinson, Ray Allen or Vin Baker plus a couple of future draft picks for the Bulls.

Even the Heat, who are currently second in the East and just got Marshburn from the Mavericks, have also joined the battle for Lintian, and they directly offered to trade Lintian with their own All-Star guard Tim Hardaway!

It can be said that before this trade deadline arrived, Lin Tian suddenly became the hottest guy in the entire league!

The battle for Lin Tian came half a year earlier than expected!

It's not an offseason, it's a trade deadline!

In fact, this is the most correct logic, in the case that it is almost impossible for the Bulls to keep Lin Tian this summer, it is the most correct choice to trade Lin Tian in advance and stop losses in time!

It's just that too many people have fallen into the thinking that the Bulls want to go all out to defend the title, and they all think that the Bulls will definitely keep Lin Tian first until the end of this season for their two consecutive championships.

Players, fans, and media may fall into inertial thinking and react a little slower, but the general managers of the league, the old cowards whose heads spin faster than a spinning top, will not fall into this kind of inertial thinking, and they will definitely try to make an offer!

The only question is when to quote and what price to quote!

They need a moment!

Many trade rumors, in fact, are simply spread by the general managers of these teams, their purpose is to muddy the waters, so that there is a gap between Lin Tian and the Bulls, it is best for Lin Tian to apply for a trade himself, saying that he does not want to continue playing in the Bulls no matter what.

In that case, these teams will really have a chance to take Lin Tian under their command in advance in the middle of the season!

And even if Lin Tian is not traded in the end, it can cause problems and cracks in the Bulls team, which will affect their combat effectiveness, and it will be a good thing for all teams!

Bulls, who doesn't want to see them make a fool of themselves?

It can be said that this time the Lin Tian transaction incident, if it is not good, the Bulls are likely to be a wife who has lost their soldiers, and it is not impossible to change from a dynasty team to a laughing stock in the league!

Therefore, when Lin Tian's trade rumors began to circulate in the community, when Klaus did not hang up all the calls that inquired about Lin Tian, but really began to contact some teams, all those who were interested in getting Lin Tian understood.

Here's their chance!

And in this battle for Lintian, which involves almost half of the league's teams, the two most sincere offers come from Boston and Los Angeles respectively!

The Celtics are willing to take the talented forward Antoine Walker that the team just drafted, plus the Celtics' two first-round picks in 1997.

It's just that the Celtics added an extra pick to this pick.

You know, the Celtics had two first-round picks in 1997, one of their own and one from the rebuilding Dallas Mavericks.

And what about the record of these two teams now? One league is first-to-last, one league is fifth-to-last!

In other words, these two draft picks are basically locked in the two top five picks next year! Although there is champion protection, although the rookies in 1997 are not very favored by the market now, thinking that this is a draft year, but no matter how small the year, these are also two top-five picks!

Not to mention, the Celtics also added Antoine Walker, the 6th pick last year, to the trade, and a top rookie who averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game!

Celtic's offer shocked many people in the industry! Because it's so high that it's a bit outrageous!

At this price, the entire league is afraid that except for Jordan and the four major center-level players, the rest of the league's top ten players, regardless of Hardaway or Grant Hill, definitely have something to talk about!

Lin Tian is indeed very good, but in the end, he has led the team alone for less than a month, although his data and team record are perfect this month, but in the end it is only one month, and there are not enough samples.

More people think that if the Celtics want stud, why not go to stud stars like Grant Hill, who have already made a name for themselves, have been tested and have years of experience leading teams on their own?

But it can also be seen from this that the sincerity of the Celts is absolutely full! But this is the courage and courage of the soul of the Green Shirts, Cardinal Auerbach! It's also the style he has always talked about trading!

If you have the chance, you have to stud!

Rather than waiting for the offseason to compare the price with those teams, the livability of the city is more attractive than the team, Auerbach obviously believes in the first strike, and is more willing to get Lin Tian in advance, and then spend half a year cultivating feelings and tacit understanding with Lin Tian.

As for whether Lin Tian will run away directly in summer?

Auerbach said: With Lao Tzu's personality charm and alliance status, if the time comes to give enough money, it is impossible for anyone to run away from his men! This is the confidence of the number one general manager and manager of the alliance!

And as if it were fate, in the NBA, where there is green, there must be yellow!

The Los Angeles Lakers, the league's top giants who fought with the Celtics from the '60s to the '80s, also made a move at this time, while Jerry West's offer was more direct.

"Except for O'Neal and Kobe, everyone else, whatever! Future picks, optional! ”

This offer is not worse than the Celtics' offer, you know, in the Lakers, there is now Eddie Jones, who has just been selected as an All-Star, Nick Van Exel, a guard with quasi-All-Star strength, and Elden Campbell, a utilitarian power forward who averages 15+8 per game.

The attitude of the Lakers is: just look at it, choose!

West also showed the courage and aggressiveness that the league's top managers should have, either they don't grab it, or they must grab it!

Especially, when West knew that his current number one opponent was the Celtics and Auerbach, who had given him endless pain, West even wanted to directly join Kobe, a young man he was extremely optimistic about, into the negotiations!

Anyone can lose, West doesn't want to lose to Celtic and Auerbach even once!

West's career spanned a total of 14 years, playing 9 Finals and losing 8 of them, and 5 of those 8 losses were to the Celtics, not to mention 4 of them, all of which were tie-breaks!

The Celtics and Auerbach brought West a lot more painful memories than his high school math teacher!

Therefore, West will definitely gamble everything, use all means, to snipe Auerbach and the Celtics!

Just 3 days before the trade deadline, Las Vegas updated the odds on 'Where is Lin Tian going'.

In this latest odds, staying with the Bulls has dropped to third!

At the top of the list are the Los Angeles Lakers, although they don't have that many lottery picks, their biggest advantage is that they are in the West! In this kind of first-class star trade, there is an unwritten rule in the league, that is: unless you don't have a choice, try not to trade the star to a team in the same district, so as not to be too embarrassed to meet 4 times in a season.

In second place is the Boston Celtics, their offer is very aggressive, and even some Chicago fans are moved, some people say: If I were Klaus, I would personally tie up Lin Tian and send him on the plane to Boston!

After all, that's a real top 3 rookie in the top five levels!

As for the Bulls, the biggest reason why they are still in third place is whether they still want to win their second championship in a row!

After all, no matter how powerful the trader is and how drooling the talent of the rookie is, it is difficult for them to seamlessly integrate and integrate into the team, and the Bulls are bound to come to the last wave of large-scale tactical adjustments and re-running-in, and now that there are less than 2 months left in the regular season, the time of the Bulls is obviously a little too short.

Even if they don't lose money after the trade, they are likely to lose the championship this season.

Therefore, the choice in front of Klaus now is actually not where to send Lin Tian at all.

His real conundrum is: this season, or the future!

To this season, he has to keep Lin Tian and help the team go all out to hit the championship!

In the future, he has to trade Lin Tian, and then according to the run-in situation after the trade, see if he wants to strategically give up this season.

But regardless, in the final days before the trade deadline, the whole league is destined to be in turmoil!

Two days before the deadline, Klaus sat alone in his office, with a number of documents in front of him.

The content of the document includes the specific offers of each team, the data of the players in each team, the analysis, whether they can fit into the current roster of the Bulls, and what other benefits Klaus can get from the offers they have already provided!

In short, although Klaus did not make the final decision, he had already made up his mind that he would never let Lin Tian run away in vain in the summer, he wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to use Lin Tian to make another profit!

As for whether the team can win the championship this year? Of course, Klaus cares, but compared to this year's championship, Klaus is more concerned about the team's virtuous cycle in the next 3-5 years and how to keep the team competitive.

This Lin Tian transaction is regarded by Klaus as the biggest challenge of his career! Because this deal looks easy, it is actually very difficult to control.

Although Lin Tian is now the sweetheart of the entire league, he also has a huge shortcoming: he only has half a season left on his contract, and no matter which team wants to get Lin Tian, he always has to risk that Lin Tian may run away directly in the offseason.

This also made Lin Tian's transaction value much lower than he imagined.

Therefore, while Klaus wants to get more benefits, he must also pay attention not to be too ruthless, otherwise the other party yells at Lao Tzu and waits for the naked signing in the offseason, and then breaks up in two, which is definitely the last thing Klaus wants to see!

Nowadays, at least the most lucrative offers in the rumors, such as Celtics' Walker plus two lotteries, such as the Lakers' random pick in addition to Kobe O'Neal, many of these news are actually Klaus took the initiative to break the news.

Klaus's purpose is also very simple, he wants to take the initiative in the transaction!

He also wants to maximize the benefits of himself and the team as much as possible!

And just when Klaus wanted to make a few more phone calls, squeeze his trading partners again, and see if he could order more things and let his trading partners have more blood, his office door was suddenly kicked open!

Yes, kicked away!

Klaus raised his head, looked at the menacing Jordan, and immediately understood what this guy who had never had a good relationship with him was here for.

"You want to trade Lin?" Jordan got straight to the point, staring at Klaus with his eyes fixed on him.

"Michael, you have to understand, it's a difficult decision, we're all on the hardest path, we have to recognize the reality and we have to make a rational choice, you know, we ......"

"Shut up, dead fat, answer Lao Tzu's question." Jordan interrupted Klaus rudely, slapped his hands on his desk, and questioned word by word.

"Yes, I'm going to trade him." In the face of the menacing Jordan, Klaus no longer evaded, and was also not to be outdone, glaring back at Jordan with both eyes: "Unless, you promise me now that you are willing to sign a base salary contract of $1-2 million in the offseason, so that I can have enough salary space to renew Lin!" ”

"Otherwise, as a general manager, I have to make the right choices, and my job is to maximize the interests of the team! Trade Lin now, it's better for you and me, for the team! Otherwise, we will have to watch Lin leave the team! ”

"We're number one in the league right now, we're on the right path to pursue a title defense, you can't make this kind of trade! It's going to destroy the team's chemistry and it's going to make it much harder for us to win this year! Of course, Jordan doesn't care about Klaus's future of the team, the interests of the team, etc., his goal is always to win the championship!

"Michael, how do you know that if we don't have Lin, we won't have a champion?" Klaus spread his hands, keeping his sanity and composure.

"I don't know if we can win the title without Lin, but I know that as long as Lin is here, we can defend the title 100% this year! I have the confidence to sweep and defeat all my opponents! Jordan no longer stood, but sat across from Klaus.

"And what about next year? What about next year, Michael? Klaus was still flat: "Lin will definitely not be there next year, and we won't get anything in return, our lineup will be one less forest, at that time, how can we win the championship?" ”

"That's next year! What I'm concerned about now is this year's thing! Now that Jordan is here, he won't back down in the slightest: "You asked me to give up this year's championship and compete for the next few years?" Klaus, do you want to listen, are you talking about human words? ”

"Take this year's first, and then the next one! If you trade Lin now, you're giving up a chance to win the championship for nothing! Only an idiot and a stupid ass would make such a choice! Klaus, I always knew you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid! Don't let go of the champions who have already arrived, but what are you going to do in the long run? ”

"Do you know how many teams will sacrifice everything for a championship?"

"So, Michael, great Michael Jordan, you think you can't win the championship without Lin, do you? You feel that he is indispensable, and you think that if you don't have Lin, you will fail, right? In that case, then you give me a promise, you give me a promise between men. ”

"Or is that the phrase, you want me not to trade Lin? Then you're going to sign a base salary contract this summer and give me enough room to keep Lin on the team! Otherwise, I'll trade him! ”

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Jordan's hands slapped on the table again, he stood up, leaned forward obviously, stared at Klaus's eyes condescendingly, and said with a smile: "You want my promise, huh?" Very good, then I can give you a promise! ”

Jordan looked at Klaus and sneered: "If you dare to trade Forest, I'll go to the Knicks this summer!" I will never renew my contract with the Bulls! That's my promise! If you're afraid of the summer, so the chickens and eggs hit you and you won't get anything? It's simple, you can take advantage of the trading deadline and trade me too, that's all. ”

"You're threatening me?" The smile on Klaus's face finally disappeared completely, Jordan was really too deceitful!

"Yes, I'm threatening you! As for whether you're going to continue to work with me to the end, or you're smart enough to stop messing around and be happy to see us win this year's championship, it's up to you. Jordan straightened up, knowing that he had the absolute upper hand.

"Klaus, if I were you, I'd cut off all Lin-related deals, and then wait and see one of the most dominant championships in NBA history!"

After finishing speaking, Jordan turned around and walked towards the door, what he was going to say had already been said, and he was not ready to continue to ramble with Klaus, but when he walked to the door, Jordan suddenly turned to look at Klaus and said:

"Klaus, I've always been a man of my word, and you can take a gamble and see if I'm going to New York this summer."

Klaus kept panting, obviously angry to the extreme, he watched Jordan leave the office and quickly walk away, the whole person suddenly began to tremble constantly, obviously angry to the extreme.

Then, Klaus suddenly stood up, strode to the door of the office, grabbed the doorknob and used all his strength to close the door of the general manager's office, and then there was a sound of a huge hard object hitting the floor in his office.

And this sound is obviously just the beginning!

Then, the crackling and jingling sounds in his office rang for a full 20 minutes! Then, when everything finally calmed down, it wasn't long before the door to Klaus's office opened again, still full of anger, and he left the office without looking back.

He's going to the Bulls owner Rainsdorf!

At this time, only the support of the boss is the most important!

And in the general manager's office behind Klaus, it was as if it had been bombarded by a tornado plus a magnitude 10 earthquake, a magnitude 12 tsunami and 20 rocket launchers! There was not a single good place in the entire office, and it took Klaus just 20 minutes to completely destroy the entire office.

But apparently, Klaus's bad story is not over.

Because he didn't get the support he imagined!

After listening to Klaus's cry, Reinsdorf could only helplessly say: "Jerry, we can't help it!" Seriously, I hate Michael more than you do! I've hated him since he negotiated with us last summer, from the time he asked for that $30 million annual salary. ”

"I know that I will definitely regret the $30 million I paid, and I have been waiting for the opportunity to get revenge on Michael once! Let's put it this way, I want Michael to fuck off more than you do! I want him to leave Chicago for good. ”

"But we all know that it can't be, right? He's a Chicago hero, he's the whole NBA, and as long as he's there, we're going to make money! As long as we have him, we can stay competitive! As long as he is there, our tickets and various merchandise will be in short supply! ”

"So, even if I hate him more than you and want him to get out, even if I want to shoot him in the head, making Michael happy is still our most important job right now, Jerry, do you know what I mean?"

…………

On the training ground, Jackson chewed gum lightly and said to Jordan beside him: "Klaus just smashed his office, how much of this is because of you?" ”

"I think it's all." Jordan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But Lin shouldn't be gone, at least this season, we can compete for a championship with peace of mind!" ”

"What about summer?" Jackson looked at Jordan curiously and said, "Will you take a pay cut to keep Lin?" ”

"The important thing is not whether I cut my salary or not." Jordan said, "Phil, can't you really see Lin's thoughts?" Even if we offered him an annual salary of $30 million, he wouldn't stay with the Bulls! What he wants is the identity of a number one core! ”

"Not necessarily." Jackson smiled, and suddenly shouted at Lin Tiandao: "Lin, if you are given 30 million US dollars a year, are you willing to stay in Chicago?" ”

"30 million?" Lin Tian said without hesitation: "If I hesitate for even a second, it is disrespectful to the 30 million!" Say, which team in Chicago? Whether it's the Cubs, the Black Hawks, the Bears or any other team, 30 million a year will be given to me, and I will go anywhere! ”

“FUXX！” Jordan pursed his lips and cursed, he suddenly began to regret it, why did he give Lin Tian, this bastard!

Wouldn't it be good to let him get out sooner?

If you have to endure him for another four months, your blood pressure will increase because of these four months!

Time just went by.

Suddenly, the city was full of wind and rain in the last second, as if Lin Tian would be sent to a certain team in the league at any time.

Then, it seemed that the transaction about Lin Tian had never appeared, and it disappeared quietly, and in the end, the transaction was not even a thunder or rain, but just sank into the sea, and it disappeared directly.

After asking more than two-thirds of the general managers of the league, Klaus suddenly said: Lin is not for sale, we don't sell!

Klaus's behavior, which is almost no different from playing tricks, made many general managers who were determined to win Lin Tian angry and scolded their mothers in their offices, and at the same time, they also put Klaus on their blacklist.

Although most people will not target the bull and Klaus because of this, if there is a chance to retaliate without harming their own interests, this group of people will definitely not hesitate to stumble on Klaus and the bull.

At the trade deadline, the thunder and rain passed, and in the end, the only deal that could shock the league was the separation of Dallas 3J, and the rest were all painless transactions.

But as the trade deadline passes, all the teams in the league will start fighting for their season goals!

Whether the goal is to lose or win, the playoffs or the draft, the last less than two months of the game is destined to be full of blood!

Of course, there are some teams that, with their own strength, will not participate in these bloody storms.

For example, the Celtics, they have only won 8 games so far, the 'lead' is the second-to-last, and the Vancouver Grizzlies who have won 12 games are full of 4 games, at this stage of the season, the Bostonians have basically locked the penultimate first place of the season, and even in the next games, even if they win a few games, there is no problem!

Similar to the Celtics, there is also the Nuggets, the Nuggets have won 16 games so far this season, and it is obviously difficult for them to 'catch up' the Grizzlies and Celtics, but the Spurs, who have won 20 games, and the 76ers, who have won 21 games, want to catch up with the Nuggets, but it is also difficult to catch up!

The battle between the Spurs and the 76ers for the bottom four of the league will be the most worthy of people's attention and expectation in the last month and a half of the lottery! Who can lose more, and who can get the higher pick? Who will be able to pick the true cornerstone of the team next year, which is not a big draft year?

In addition to the lottery area, the Bulls are now firmly seated in the Diaoyutai, they have a proud record of 46 wins and 8 losses, not only the team ranks first in the league, but also got rid of the second Heat team in the East for 8 games, and the second Jazz team in the league for 5 games!

With this huge lead, it is almost a dream for the Jazz and Heat to catch up with the Bulls at this time of the season! Not to mention that the Bulls still have a full-blooded Jordan, who has been resting for almost a whole month due to his ankle, and now he is full of physical strength and ready to kill all sides!

Led by a full-blooded Jordan, the Bulls lost just one game in the rest of their games in February and all of their games in March, with a terrifying 18-1 record!

Instead of being overtaken by the Jazz and Heat behind them, they continued to extend their lead at this time of the season!

And Jordan also won the Player of the Month award for two consecutive months in February and March with his terrifying performance! Coupled with Lin Tian's previous January, the player of the Bulls, won the league's Player of the Month for 3 consecutive months!

You must know that the current NBA Player of the Month is not one from the east and west, but the entire league, and only one is selected in total!

In other words, for 3 months in a row, the best players in the league are all in the Bulls!

From this alone, you can see how good the Bulls are now!

In addition to the fact that they have lost 9 games and are unlikely to continue to break the league's new regular season win record set last season, they are still the strongest and most terrifying team in the league this season!

And it was in these two months that Jordan once again showed his terrifying scoring prowess, he averaged more than 33 points per game for two consecutive months, and when March ended, his season average per game had once again reached 29.5 points! He widened the gap between himself and Ma Long, who was second in the scoring list, to more than 3 points!

In other words, if Malone wants to hit this year's scoring title, assuming that Jordan maintains his current average of 29 points per game in the last nine games in April, then Malone needs to average at least 59 points per game in April to hope to surpass Jordan and become the scoring champion this season.

Therefore, you can congratulate Jordan in advance for locking up the 9th scoring title of his career!

His dominance in scoring, even if you look at the entire history of the NBA, is quite explosive!

Or rather, the first explosion in history!

When the season reaches April, in fact, the positions of each team and the specific situation of this season have been almost finalized, except for some teams that still need to play card battles, more than half of the remaining teams can enter the state of fishing in advance.

For example, the Bulls, Jackson once again had a large-scale rotation of the team in the April game!

Jordan, Pippen, Lin Tian and others have been suspended in some games, and the Bulls' last 9 games are mediocre, with only 6 wins and 3 losses.

But Rao is so, at the official end of the regular season this season, the Bulls still firmly occupy the first position in the league!

They will have home-court advantage in all series of the playoffs!

At the same time, they also became the second team in NBA history to reach 70 wins!

70 wins and 12 losses!

Well...... At the top of the list is the Bulls from last season.

took 70 wins, but the record has regressed by 4 games compared to last season, which is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it, but the Bulls have done it, not only have they won 70+ wins in two consecutive seasons, but also won this result in a rotational and completely relaxed way for two consecutive years.

If they are really playing with their lives, how many victories they can get has become the talk of the entire league.

75 wins? 78 wins?

Or is it an exaggeration......

80 wins?

This is a question that only Phil Jackson can answer.

But now, the answer to this question doesn't really matter at all, the important thing is that the regular season is over, and now it's time for the real battle!

Playoffs!
