Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Woo..."

In the United Center Arena, the home fans burst into tears, and many people had already cried, covering their mouths and choking.

The Bulls lost again and fell under the Eastern Conference finals again.

How many times is this already?

"Curse." A fan yelled excitedly, his eyes full of reconciliation, "This **** curse."

The people next to him looked to him, but at this moment, their hearts were the same as this person's thoughts. This was simply a curse.

Falling under the Eastern Conference finals for several consecutive seasons.

If the Bulls were just a mid-range team, that’s fine, but they are obviously super strong. They can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals every time. They are qualified to win the championship, but they lost to the Eastern Conference Finals every time. They lost to the Heat in the first two years. In the past two years, I lost to the 76ers, as if I could never pass this hurdle.

It's too heartbreaking.

On the court.

A group of Bulls players also moistened their eyes and silently wiped their tears.

Rose propped his knees, panting arrogantly, but his eyes were a little hollow, as if there was no focus.

"Derek." Qin Hao came to Ross.

"Qin." Rose raised his head and wanted to say "Congratulations" politely, but his voice got stuck in his throat and couldn't say anything.

Qin Hao stretched out his hand to embrace Rose's shoulder, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No matter what the result is, you have tried your best and have done well. Even if you lose in the end, you are still the hero of Chicago."

Rose opened his mouth and smiled miserably after all.

Tragic hero?

But I don't want to be a tragic hero!

In this series, Rose averaged 30+ per game. In addition, he had at least 5 rebounds and 8 assists in each game. He has done it to the extreme and can't ask him for more.

It's just that he doesn't want these, all he wants is victory, only to reach the finals and win the championship.

They failed again!

"Hey..." Qin Hao sighed deeply. He admired Rose very much. He was a good brother with Rose. He didn't want to see Rose like this.

But the stadium is like a battlefield, and there is no room for mercy, because he is also burdened with the hard work and sweat of the 76ers teammates, as well as the expectations of 76ers fans and more Chinese fans.

Butler, Xiaoka, Lu Wei and others also walked over, gathered around Rose, and comforted Rose a few words.

Soon, the Bulls players left and walked into the player tunnel.

Qin Hao and others did not stay either. Qin Hao even refused an interview from the espn reporter. This is not the Wachovia Center Arena.

In a blink of an eye, both players have left.

At this time, the Bulls fans left one after another reluctantly, some were still crying, some were crying silently, some were sighing of loss...

Chicago is not good tonight.

......

The Bulls locker room.

The atmosphere is dull, and the air is filled with pain and sorrow.

Everyone didn't speak, Rose lowered his head and lifted it for a long time. After scanning around in the locker room, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up and opened the door and walked out.

Coming to the outside, Rose looked for a lap, and finally at the end of the player channel, he found coach Thibodeau on the empty court.

At this time the fans have already left, the huge arena has become empty, the auditorium is full of darkness, only the stadium has lights.

Where is Coach Thibodeau standing, I don't know what he is thinking.

"Coach." Rose yelled and came to Coach Thibodeau.

"Derek." Coach Thibodeau responded, and sat down on the floor casually, patted the floor beside him, "Sit down and say."

Rose sat down next to Coach Thibodeau and said, "I can talk to the management. My contract expires in two seasons. I can..."

Coach Thibodeau raised his hand to interrupt, with a flat expression, and said, "Thank you, but no need. In a few years, we have always been able to reach the Eastern Conference finals, but how can we fail this level. The management needs someone to take responsibility. And I do have an unshirkable responsibility."

"Derek, even if the team doesn't fire me, I will resign by myself."

"In fact, under my leadership, the team failed to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. I can't shirk the blame."

Listen, Rose is anxious: "But, this is not only your responsibility, we are a team, and everyone is responsible."

To lose the Eastern Conference Finals, someone must be backed up, and Coach Thibodeau is the best candidate.

This is a habit in the NBA. A team has a poor record and is often fired by the head coach.

Although the Bulls have not played badly in the past few years, they have been able to make the playoffs every time, and even reach the Eastern Conference Finals, but the problem is that they lose in the Eastern Finals every time.

The fans can't stand it, and the management can't stand it either.

Therefore, waiting for coach Thibodeau must be dismissed, and Ross and coach Thibodeau are very affectionate, and he does not want coach Thibodeau to leave.

"Derek." Coach Thibodeau smiled, very free and easy. "It is inevitable that I will be fired. Not only will I be fired, but the team's lineup will also change a lot this summer, which is also inevitable. ."

He said earnestly and earnestly: "You have to be mentally prepared, at that time your teammates may be traded and the lineup will change greatly."

"This summer, all you have to do is to help the team recruit better players, preferably one or two All-Star players. Our role players are not bad, but whether they are against the Heat or the 76ers, in We all suffer too much on the star lineup."

"and......"

Hearing that Coach Thibodeau was about to be fired, and did not forget to tell him this, Rose's nose was sour and his eyes were red.

No matter how the team changes, the coach is fired, and the players are traded, Rose will definitely not change. With his performance this season, he is absolutely superstar level. It is also the year when he was playing. Unless the Bulls are brainless. He will be traded only if he is kicked.

But now that the Bulls are in this situation, it can be said to be very embarrassing. Let alone the championship, they must win the Eastern Championship.

So there is no doubt that the Bulls must make big moves this summer.

Coach Thibodeau said this, hoping that Rose can look forward and help the team build a better team lineup and system, and be able to make breakthroughs in the future, break the curse that envelops the Bulls, and no longer be a tragic hero.

"Coach." Rose shouted choked.

"Okay." Coach Thibodeau laughed and looked at Rose. He was looking at his own child. His eyes were a little moist, but he comforted: "It's okay. Although I have left the Bulls, I am not all right. The way to stay in NBA, we can still meet in the future."

Rose nodded with tears in her eyes.

Afterwards, the two chatted a lot, but they were no longer talking about the team, but about topics that had nothing to do with basketball.

In the past, the two masters and apprentices talked about basketball together. It was a game. Suddenly, they stopped talking about basketball, but they were extraordinarily speculative.
