Chapter 262 Interlude of Misfortune

The Bulls finally started to act, but the content of the action did not match the expectations of the outside world.

They didn't take Bai Jidong or McGrady, but the second team.

The Bulls traded Jerome James plus a second-round pick next year for Kristen Laettner.

"Take an insider who can steadily contribute 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks for a big pitcher who can't run anymore? This is a stupid trick!" Professional media people denounced this deal.

The Bulls' new coach Cartwright greeted Laettner with joy: "Kristen's range will help us open up space, and his arrival will greatly enrich our tactics."

Anyone who is familiar with the bull knows that Jerome is Bai Jidong's confidant.

In order to weaken Bai Jidong's right to speak, he must first dismantle his right and left arm.

Bai Jidong personally sent Jerome to the airport, "No matter where you play, you can't slack off."

"Bye, thanks, and good luck," Jerome said.

"I wish you good luck too." Bai Jidong said.

The second person to be traded was Corey Benjamin.

As the engine of the second team, this person has been diligent and diligent for several years, and he has always obeyed his words.

At Cartwright's suggestion, Krause traded him for two second-round picks.

After that, two more players brought out by Bai Jidong were traded.

Within half a month, the Bulls' lineup changed drastically.

Except for the players whose contracts had expired, those players who were close to Bai Jidong were traded one after another.

Cartwright warmly welcomed each new player, and he introduced McGrady to them immediately.

The outside world is turned upside down, but Bai Weidong is in special training.

The only thing that satisfies Bai Jidong is that the Bulls signed the meritorious veteran Scott Pippen with a veteran's basic salary.

After the preseason training camp started, Bai Jidong began to feel something was wrong.

Newly joined players showed hostility towards Bai Weidong, such as Jamal Crawford.His dribbling was so fancy that Bai Jidong almost took him for the Harlem basketball team.

Crawford's butterfly dribble made Bai Weidong extremely amazing, "Bye, I'm coming!" His hostility made Bai Weidong very puzzled.

The two have played against each other on the field before, but because of their different positions, they have never faced each other directly. Where does Crawford's hostility come from?

Bai Jidong didn't think much about it. Since he was going to deal with him, he didn't have to be polite. He used 100% of his strength to suppress Crawford's attack, and then said, "Your dribble is beautiful, but it's just beautiful." "Come again!" Crawford snorted coldly.

Apart from Pippen, Bai Jidong couldn't find anyone in the team to talk to, "Scott, are you still used to it?"

"There's nothing I'm used to or not. I've been here longer than you." Pippen didn't participate in training much, he was already an old bone, and the rest was all experience.

Bai Jidong said: "I didn't expect you to come back."

"I'm not welcome?" Pippen asked with a smile.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "I welcome you very much."

Although Pippen didn't ask about the team's affairs, he could tell that Bai Jidong's situation was not good. "It seems that you are in trouble."

"Trouble? Where do you start with this?" Bai Jidong asked.

Pippen said, "Remember what I told you? You don't get along with Tracy."

"I had a great time working with Tracy." Just as Bai Jidong finished speaking, Pippen smiled: "Happy? Do you think I don't read the news?"

"Since you know everything, why bother to ask?" Bai Jidong sighed, "I don't want to make it like this."

"If things have developed to this point, you can only blame yourself, because you didn't curb Tracy's ambition in time, and it's too late now." Pippen said: "You have to decide the outcome with him, otherwise."

"What else?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Otherwise you'll be a loser and kicked out of Chicago," Pippen said.

In a training session, Cartwright put forward the theory of dual core.

He made it very clear: "We have the best perimeter in the league. Bye and TMac are enough to become the nightmare of all teams. It is a shameless waste for any of them to be the second-in-command. Therefore, dual-core tactics are necessary. Yes." "Coach, since it's a dual core, someone has to hold the ball and someone has to move." LaFrentz said.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, Bye holds the ball, and Tracy stands at the two corners as the starting point of the attack. You can choose to finish by yourself or connect others. If Tracy has the touch, we can use his touch to defeat the opponent. , if Tracy has no touch, pass the ball back to Bye, and he will make the opponent pay the price." Cartwright's dual-core tactic sounds like Bai Jidong and McGrady are on the same level, but in fact it is clear that they are high and low, and McGrady will be hit first. This point, if it doesn't feel good, give it to Bai Jidong.

The Bulls won all the preseason games, and the team's lineup has also been determined.

Time flickered to the opening game, and the Bulls played against the Washington Wizards at home.

After Jordan retired for the third time, the Wizards officially ushered in a rebuild. Their current core is Larry Hughes.

When Bai Jidong blocked Hughes, the wizard seemed to have been beaten with a sap, lost his way, and was beaten by the bull on the ground.

Tracy McGrady transformed himself into power and scored 44 points in his best form to lead the team to victory over the Wizards.

Bai Jidong had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the first game.From the data point of view, his performance is very average, but no one who has watched the game will forget him.

His defense made Larry Hughes miss all 13 shots and get an embarrassing 0 points.

"Is that what you want? Be me, Tracy be MJ, is that what you want?" Pippen asked.

Bai Jidong buried his head in packing his things, "What do you want me to do?"

"You have to fight, Bill is avenging his personal revenge, he vented his hatred of MJ on you, you can't give in!" Pippen said.

Bai Jidong said: "I don't need to fall out with him."

"Then what do you want to do? Just sink in?" Pippen couldn't accept Bai Jidong's actions.

Bai Jidong said: "I will not sink, I am waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Tracy to lose touch."

"You fucking wake up!" Pippen said angrily: "By then, the Bulls have become his team!"

Bai Jidong's performance was unremarkable.

He fell from a superstar who could output 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game to an ordinary All-Star.

In the first ten games of the regular season, he averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

If you pull the timeline back to the last century, and don't look at the name but just look at the data, the fans will probably say, "Is this Pippen?"

On the other hand, McGrady's highlight performance continues.

From Game [-], McGrady had one of the best single-month performances ever.

During the entire November game, McGrady scored 40+ in five games and 50+ in three games. He scored less than 30 points in none of the games. He averaged 39 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game in a single month, leading the Bulls to occupy the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

"This is the player Chicago fans have been waiting for for six years. This is him. Tracy McGrady. He's playing like Michael Jordan. He's Chicago's answer. Let's forget about Bye. It's time for Chicago. A new chapter!" McGrady's supporters were raving.

"Bye became an ordinary star. He should have taken over Jordan's torch and became the most shining star in Chicago. Now he is resigned. He can still play the best perimeter defense in the league, but his desire to compete What about his aggression? All gone, live with courage, or die with pride, don't be half dead like now, wake up, Bye!" Call from the Goodbye Legion.

Bai Weidong's opportunity came very late. In mid-December, in the game between the Bulls and the 76ers, Bai Weidong, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke out.

Because of Tracy McGrady's absence, Bai Jidong regained the top ball and smashed the 76ers' position like a runaway wild horse.

The old African mountains were unable to stop Bai Jidong's impact, and Philadelphia could only rely on Iverson's offensive power to stalemate with the Bulls.

Bai Jidong wanted to turn this match into a fight for his comeback, and he would not allow anyone to stop his comeback.

Iverson, who was going smoothly, was blocked to death by Bai Jidong in the fourth quarter, and Philadelphia cut off the hope of victory.

白已冬的攻势如海啸一般，打破职业生涯单场最高得分55分14篮板7助攻以及令人惊愕的5盖帽5抢断。

他也成为了，有详细数据统计以来，唯一一个得到50分的同时还拿下了至少10篮板5助攻5盖帽5抢断的球员。

"This is Bye" I am back
"Is it?" Marv Albert said, "This is the Bye that Chicago is looking forward to."

"This is the best individual performance in the past 30 years. I can't think of anyone who can be better than Bye tonight. You can't find any faults with him." Bill Wharton has been drowning recently. Ji Dong's performance made him very sad, and now he finally has the opportunity to come out and say a few words for him.

Bai Jidong thought that things would get better, but he didn't expect that when McGrady came back, Cartwright immediately asked him to hand over the ball, "Bye, we will leave our flank defense to you."

"Coach, I need to hold the ball." Bai Jidong was no longer silent, and offered to ask for the ball.

Cartwright's expression was subtle: "Bye, there is only one ball. I can't let everyone have the ball. I can only let the best players have the ball."

"Since it's a dual-core tactic, why is the ball always in Tracy's hands?" Bai Jidong asked.

Cartwright kept a disgusting hypocritical smile: "Tracey is the core of offense, and you are our defensive core. This is the basic structure of dual-core tactics. Your defense is better than Tracy. You can't let Tracy do defense. core?"

Bai Jidong was unable to argue with Cartwright during the game, and now he can only be forced to accept Cartwright's arrangement.

Cartwright is not worried about Bai Jidong's resistance, because McGrady has shown a convincing performance.He has the confidence to suppress Bai Jidong, even if the trouble comes to Klaus, he is the one who is right.
