Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 549 - 182: When Myth is Broken, When Monument is Overturned (Begging for Subscription and Monthly Tickets!)_2
Realizing he might have been too lenient with Green, Qin Yue decided that from now on, he would arrange an extra training session for Green every day.
"Dan, from now on, you’ll be my sparring partner, responsible for going one-on-one with me." After finishing the interview and returning to the locker room, Qin Yue suddenly said as he looked at Green sitting alone in the corner.
Hearing this, after Qin Yue left, Curry patted Green on the shoulder and said, "Good luck, buddy!"
At this moment, Green’s eyes were vacant, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Green certainly knew that being Qin Yue’s sparring partner in the Warriors wasn’t a qualification everyone could have.
Moreover, being chosen by Qin Yue as his sparring partner at least meant the Warriors hadn’t given up on him.
However...
Being Qin Yue’s sparring partner was also a daunting task that everyone in the Warriors avoided.
Because Qin Yue, who always gave 100% on the training ground...
would never go easy on you just because you’re not good.
Green knew very well that the worse you performed, the more Qin Yue would completely challenge you after training.
Green’s miserable life began from here.
And in March, the Warriors, having defeated the Mavericks, continued to stride forward, challenging the Bulls’ record.
"Even if they can break our record this season, I still believe that we were the better team back then." To defend the image of the Bulls in the public mind, Pippen said in an interview, "If we were to play by those rules back then, I don’t think the Warriors could beat us."
Undoubtedly, this was Pippen’s strongest episode defending the image of the Bulls.
If appearing on a show to criticize Jordan was just business.
Then defending the image of the Bulls was Pippen’s bottom line.
Why are myths myths?
Because for a long time, the 72 wins the Bulls achieved in the regular season remained an unbreakable record in people’s minds.
During the establishment of the second dynasty, the Bulls proved their dominance in the ’90s with their 72 wins in the regular season.
In the NBA, where every season has 82 regular games, 72 wins were not just a symbol of an extreme, but also a great monument created together by the Bulls players in the hearts of fans.
But now, with the myth about to be broken, and the monument about to be toppled...
Pippen naturally stood up like a martyr to defend everything about those Bulls.
However, what puzzled Pippen the most... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
was that, at such an important moment, Jordan seemed as if he had gone missing, uninterested in anything happening outside.
"What on earth is Michael doing?"
Pippen wondered internally, "Doesn’t he know that if the Warriors set a new win record this season, his status in the eyes of the public will also be affected?"
What was Jordan doing?
In fact, recently, Jordan had been troubled by the attitudes of the Bobcats players towards him.
Although, due to Jordan’s identity as the boss, Bobcats players including Roy, Artest, and Randolph would not openly confront Jordan.
But affected by the Dallas debacle, the low-spirited Bobcats had set their longest losing streak in recent years after the All-Star weekend:
——eleven straight losses.
"Messiah is undoubtedly a role model for our generation of players."
Roy said in an interview, "In my view, his crown only lacks a few diamonds, but I believe one day he will personally embed those diamonds into his crown."
As the star of the Bobcats, Roy had already shown where he stood.
"I’m proud to have fought alongside him." Artest said, "In my heart, he has always been the greatest player in NBA history, without any exception."
Since the Dallas debacle, the new generation of players in the basketball world had lost all their respect for the old GOAT, Jordan.
If it weren’t for the future deputy GOAT’s desire to be officially recognized, in Qin Yue’s past life, you’d even find people mentioning Jordan only when discussing records.
Was Jordan being forgotten by fans because he had been retired for too long?
The answer was clearly no.
After all, in the first decade of the 21st century, almost no one would doubt Jordan’s unparalleled historical status.
However, following capitalist Jordan’s hand in breaking his image among new-generation players, Jordan from the player era was also subjected to a joint repudiation.
After finishing March’s grueling schedule.
With a 68-6 record, the Warriors and Qin Yue continued to dominate the league, gaining widespread support across the basketball world.
"I disagree with Scottie Pippen’s statement, I have also played against that Bulls team in the ’90s."
As Garnett commented on the Warriors’ performance, he said, "I can tell you now, this Warriors team’s court dominance far exceeds that of the Bulls back then!"
As one of Qin Yue’s MVP competitors this season, Kobe said in an interview, "I don’t think there’s any suspense about this year’s MVP, in my view, he is the best player this season.
He led the Warriors to the best record, and with only 8 games left, I think breaking the Bulls’ 72-win record is just a matter of time."
Qin Yue’s other major MVP competitor, James, also said, "You know, he’s already locked in first place, leaving us to compete for second."
Although Randy Mims, who was always by James’s side, believed that James shouldn’t speak for his apparent brother, James himself didn’t see it that way.
