Chapter 338 The end of the season, Big O's point of no return
After winning the Celtics, there are only five games left in the regular season. For the consideration of the next playoffs, Tim Floyd feels that it is a good choice to rotate the lineup.

His proposal was recognized by all the Bulls players, which also gave Tim Floyd the illusion that "I will still be the head coach of the Bulls next season".

Tim Floyd performed pretty well in the remaining third of the schedule, but he was on the same level as Byron Scott in terms of level. The two of them have in common that they both encountered a very good point guard, which covered up many of their shortcomings, but these shortcomings will be infinitely magnified in the playoffs. In the playoffs, an opponent is not so much a contest between stars, but a game between coaches. The formation between them will affect the direction of the entire series. After all, the playoffs are different from the regular season. If the former loses, they will go home and fish, and there is no chance to fight again next time.

Tim Floyd will definitely leave next season. There is no doubt about it, but I don't know who will take over the Bulls.

In the remaining five games, the Bulls only won two of them. They also suffered their first losing streak this season, and it was still a three-game losing streak. But even so, the Bulls ended the regular season of the 65-17 season with a record of 01-02. Li Lei's first season in the NBA can be said to be perfect.

In Jordan's debut season, the Bulls' record was only 38-44 and entered the playoffs as seventh in the Eastern Conference, and their winning percentage was less than 50.00%.However, there were only 23 teams in the NBA at that time, and it was already obvious that the West was strong and the East was weak. Although the Bulls’ two three-peat championships did boost morale, the West was strong and the East was weak.

This is the Eastern Conference since the 97-98 season. The Eastern Conference has achieved 60 wins again, and the team that won 60 that season was also the Chicago Bulls. During the four years in between, the best record in the Eastern Conference was only 56 wins.

The Bulls have the league's first record of 65-17, and the remaining seven playoff teams are the Nets, Pistons, Celtics, Philadelphia, Magic and Raptors. The biggest difference between this ranking and the previous life is that the Bulls have changed from the bottom one in the Eastern Conference to the number one in the league.

On the west side are the Kings, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Supersonics and Jazz. The other three teams in the Northwest Division have advanced except for the Nuggets. The Nuggets have been playing for nothing this season.This is the tragedy of the small ball market. If the team’s record is not good, the attendance rate of the arena will not be improved. If the attendance rate is not improved, the ball market will suffer, and no one wants to play here.

Of the [-] teams that have advanced to the playoffs, except for the Bulls, the other [-] are powerful players who have been active in the league for several years, and the Bulls are no different from the myth this season.Just relying on Li Lei as the second place in the list, plus other cucumber eggs, relying on a storm of youth, he actually achieved the number one record in the league?
If this incident was published before the regular season started, everyone would laugh at each other for not waking up. This is the age, and the era of relying on rookies to rise has long passed. The Lakers' consecutive championships proved that championships can actually be spent with money, and you don't have to develop slowly. Of course, the premise is that you have a brain-dead teammate like Magic.

Li Lei was also touted by the media as another debutant and pinnacle existence in the league after Tim Duncan. At the beginning, these touts were only from the media in Chicago and Illinois, but now with the background of the league's No. [-] record, the bragging is even more unscrupulous.

"I am the number one point guard in Lei's history, who has any objections, magician, big O, etc. Is Lei's three-pointer accurate?"

"Wake up, upstairs, the magician won the championship in his rookie season, and he was also the FMVP. What's wrong with Li Lei, a guy who can only shoot? He's just an enhanced version of Reggie Miller."

…………

In some domestic forums, Li Lei's explosive performance naturally attracted a large audience of fans, and at the same time, more and more Chinese companies turned their attention to the distant American continent.Godfather Si couldn't stop laughing, and so did Reinsdorf. He fully experienced the refreshing feeling Alexander experienced in his previous life.

Not only in China, but also in North America. ESPN, which always likes to make troubles, compared Li Lei's performance in his debut season with the performance of Magician and Big O.

Magician: 18 points, 7.2 assists, 7 rebounds, 7 steals, shooting 2.4% from the field, averaging 50.00 shots per game.

Big O: 30.5 points, 9.7 assists, 10.1 rebounds, averaging 22.5 shots per game, shooting 40.00% from the field at [-].

Li Lei scored 20.2 points, 12.1 assists, averaged 10.5 shots per game, and shot [-]% from the field...

This shooting percentage is not listed, because the entire basketball circle is already noisy. Li Lei scored 20 points and 12 assists in less than [-] shots. This is really heartbreaking.

As the most loyal Li Hei, Big O is very disdainful of ESPN's way of doing nothing.

"Hmph, you can't win a championship by shooting. And that guy can score so many points, it's all because of three-pointers. If I also had three-pointers in my era, then I averaged more than 30 points per game. In addition, please don't compare a rookie with a point guard of my level. Let's wait until he wins the championship. Although they won the first place in the regular season, I am still not optimistic about their prospects."

Big O said a lot angrily, but the ESPN reporter still didn't let him go. "However, according to the information we have found, there were only eight teams in the league in your debut season. At that time, the Cincinnati Royals' final record was 33-46, with a winning percentage of less than 50.00%, while the Magician's record in his debut season was 60-22. After comparing the three of you, you have the most gorgeous statistics, but the record is the most stretched. Does this mean that you were..."

Before the reporter finished speaking, Big O, the guy who relied on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to win the championship, couldn't listen anymore and left the crowd. What Big O didn't know was that this analogy had only just begun. When he first started blackmailing Li Lei, he was destined to embark on a road of no return.
