Chapter 215: Count the reasons for the decline of the Bull Dynasty

In fact, the relationship between the general manager and the players is also the most delicate. If it is not done, there will be "big news".

Why did Jordan quarrel with Jerry Klaus back then, and he was reluctant to stay in Chicago even after he retired, which shows how much trouble this happened.

In everyone's eyes, Jordan hated Jerry Klaus for a reason.

The first encounter came from the fact that Jerry Klaus did not choose North Carolina center Joe Wolf in 1987. As a fellow brother, Jordan is of course willing to let his younger brother help him, plus he has his own teacher. En Smith gave the guarantee, which can be said to be a fair thing, but Jerry Klaus used the No. 10 pick to select Hollis Grant from Clemson University, which was later known to everyone." cobra".

Just because of this, Jordan and his mentor Dean Smith called specifically to scold Jerry Klaus.

Then Jerry Klaus selected Pollynis with the 8th pick, and then packaged Pollynis with the 1988 second-round pick with the 1989 first-round pick, and the deal was selected by the SuperSonics with the 5th pick. Pippen, also known as Pi Erye.

When Jordan knew that Pi Er was his partner for the next few years, he scolded Jerry Klaus again.

If everyone thinks that these things led to the two being guilty, then their follow-up operations would be underestimated.

This is just the beginning!

The second encounter came when the Bulls selected Charles Oakley with the No. 9 pick in the first round in 1985. When Oakley came to the Bulls, Jordan fell in love with him at first sight, and the two hit it off. The two are inseparable no matter whether they are playing at work or having fun off the court.

But Jerry Klaus traded Oakley for Bill Cotlet, the star center of the Knicks at the time.

When Jordan heard the news, he was furious. Who didn't know that Oakley was his little brother, who traded him without consent, Jordan immediately wanted Klaus to fire.

Since then, Jordan has been brooding about this matter.

The contradiction further intensified!

The third encounter came from the contradiction between Jerry Klaus and Phil Jackson in 1997. The main reason was that Phil Jackson jumped too much. He felt that he had Jordan to lie down in the entire league. He felt that he could not be a head coach. How interesting, Zen Master hopes to control the team, which is unacceptable to Klaus, because Klaus believes that team operations and personnel operations are the general manager's business.

What's the matter with Jordan? If someone has a conflict, you can join in the fun, but Jordan is not. He has to intervene to reflect his sense of existence!

So Klaus decided not to renew Jackson after his contract with Zen Master expired.

Jordan jumped out again, this time he even threatened Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf.

A classic saying "I only play for Phil!"

Jerry Klaus had to compromise and was humiliatingly forced to sign a contract with the Zen master for a price of 6 million US dollars a year.

The contradiction between the two sides has begun to escalate, and it may break out at any time.

The fourth affair came from when Klaus was not only prepared not to renew his contract with Zen Master in 1997, but also wanted to change his contract with Pippen, and wanted to choose Maddie.

But Oakley's deal was still a pain in Jordan's heart, because he always felt sorry for his brother, which also gave him lessons for the past. This time Pippen, he swore to the death to protect it.

For this reason, Jordan and Jerry Klaus were on the team bus, and the two sides had further violent quarrels. This quarrel made Jerry Klaus very sad and almost disappointed in Jordan. Repeatedly!

In the summer of 1997, Jordan once again said harshly: "If Pippen is not renewed, then I will leave here too!"

This remark was amazing. You know, Jordan was already a national idol at the time, and Chicago was extremely proud of having him. If Jordan did not stay in Chicago because of the Bulls' operations at this time, the fate of Klaus and the Bulls owner can be imagined.

The final result is that Pippen renews his contract, and Jordan naturally renews his contract.

So Jerry Klaus endured it again this time.

But the seeds of hatred have sprouted in Jerry Klaus's heart, and this can't be suppressed by anyone...

The contradiction between management, coaches, and players reached its extreme in 1998. "Internal and external troubles" was the tone of the Bulls’ "Last Dance". Everyone knows that this may be Jordan’s last year. It is the most difficult year.

The Bull Dynasty finally began to fall apart after Jordan and Zen Master left, and Pippen, who was forced to stay behind, did not play a big role in the reconstruction of the Bull's back.

This is the grudge between Jordan and Jerry Klaus!

...

It can be said that Jerry Klaus is absolutely excellent as the general manager of the Bulls. On the other hand, Jordan is too selfish. Anyone who thinks for himself has not considered the team that allowed him to win six championship rings. Over.

It is Jordan who does have his own bullish capital, but this is not the team that Jordan owns, nor is it that he can do whatever he wants.

Not to mention the Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, even Bruce would not let Jordan ride on his neck!

And Bruce is determined to take most of the draft trading rights to himself, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again.

That is to say, the general manager of the Chinese team Mitch Kupchak is not as controllable as Jerry Klaus. Mickey Kupchak survived the infighting of the Bath family back then, but at that time he behaved like Jerry Klaus had long been torn apart by the pair of Buss sisters and brothers.

So Bruce chose Mitch Kupchak, who was obedient and easy to control, to be the general manager.

"If this is the case, then Dell Curry is one, let him be Kobe as a substitute, and you can arrange for the small forward person!" It is not a big deal, and Mitch Kupchak agreed that he can handle it very well.

"Prince prince, I want to talk about Kobe..." Mitch Kupchak hesitated a little, this is a small report!

But this matter was explicitly forbidden by the prince, and it is impossible not to report it.

"Kobe, what's the matter with Kobe?" Bruce looked dumbfounded. Did Kobe bet again?

No, didn’t I scold him once last time? Could it be that Kobe never repented...

"Kobe called me last night. What they meant was about Steve Nash. Kobe wanted Steve Nash to stay with the team as his partner..." Mitch Kupchak Said carefully.

Bruce fell silent after listening to Mitch Kupchak's narration.

After all, this matter is said to be big or small, but Kobe's threatening remarks really need to be vigilant.

Today is for Nash, who will it be for tomorrow?

If this situation continues to develop, is this Hans Bryant's or Bruce's own?

"When I go back to New York next year, I will talk to Kobe myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

"By the way, since Kobe attaches so much importance to Steve, how about Steve's performance recently!"

Although Bruce does not have time to watch live broadcasts in China, he can also watch sports news in the evening, but the details of this kind of sports news reports at this stage are very few, just one sentence who wins and who loses. Now, there are nearly 29 teams in the NBA. How could CCTV explain the situation in detail one by one.

He also knows the final score of the New York Derby. The news mentions that Kobe has once again received 50+ text reports in this game. The rest will have information about each individual.
