Last time, one of the most underrated stars in NBA history was Dominique Wilkins.
This chapter explains in detail that the NBA's most offbeat star, Dennis Rodman, whose legendary career is also an unrepeatable existence. Colorful insects inside and outside the stadium, his tough life has become a classic memory of countless fans. Rodman, if you want to detail what he has done, the length is unimaginable.
Rodman's childhood experiences had a serious impact on his personality, and he did not have a good life as an adult, gradually developing a world-weary mentality. Fortunately, in the last year of his career, he came to the Chicago Bulls, was completely conquered by Jordan, went all out, and established another dynasty with Jordan Pippen, fame and fortune, forever recorded in history, envious of others!
In fact, Rodman had a lot of concerns before joining the Bulls, and he wanted to go to the Bulls and play with Jordan. At the same time, he was more worried that what he did in the Pistons was hated by Jordan Pippen and could not be accepted. He believed he could make more money by working hard, but he couldn't believe that he could win three consecutive titles and make a name for himself at the end of his career.
The sword is biased, controversial, obedient, and disorganized, why can he succeed step by step, what kind of magic he has, we unfold his past, and tell the story.
No one can succeed casually, and on the road to success, as strong as Jordan has also experienced countless tribulations, not to mention the conditions and abilities of Rodman, who are 18,000 miles behind him.
Rodman was born on May 13, 1961 in Trenton, New Jersey, to a poor family. Like many stars, Rodman's father was typically born without being raised, let alone raised without teaching. Rodman's biological father, who fought in the Vietnam War as the U.S. Air Force, left Rodman and his two younger sisters to disappear, and the young mother struggled to pull the eldest three children. Probably the father's physical talent is too strong, the basketball talent of the two sisters is also explosive, and Rodman's physical talent is also difficult for ordinary people to reach.
The mother and sister in the family are both women, and the mischievous Rodman grew up in such an environment, and compared with the well-behaved sisters, he seems out of place and has a quirky personality. Growing up in a pile of women, Rodman was inherently insecure about women, and even once suspected that he was gay. This led to Rodman's early years of poor speech, immersed in the world of self, behavior is different from ordinary people, very bad at dealing with people, everywhere is a nasty problem man.
Rodman was only 175 years tall when he graduated from high school, which is very similar to Jordan Pippen, who was an ordinary person at that time. It's just that Jordan's skills at that time were already in full swing, and Rodman hadn't even touched the ball. With low self-esteem, he did not know that his bouncing and physical strength would become the NBA's rebounding ceiling. Rodman, 17, worked as a night watchman at Dallas' Fort Wall International Airport, and two years later he soared to 201 and became a Dallas airport security guard. Due to theft, I got into the bureau. After he came out, his mother persuaded him to go to college. At the age of 19, Rodman was on the right path and touched basketball.
In 1982, because of his height, he was recommended by a friend to play at CookShire University, and rodman was forced to transfer to Southeast Oklahoma State University. He played basketball here for three years, averaging 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds per game, shooting 63.7 percent from the field. Many friends were pleasantly surprised to find that Rodman was very good at scoring, and his shooting rate was extremely high. Let me give you an example, my middle school is in Fujian Fu'an No. 1 Middle School, the class of the third grade has 52 students, the worst one of the students really can't keep up with the grades, was dissuaded to transfer to Fu'an No. 4 Middle School, where he instantly became a bully.
Rodman participates in the university second division, and the level of the first division in which super giants such as Jordan Duncan participate is judged. And Rodman is 24-25 years old, the physical strength is the peak, but the confrontation is a 19-20-year-old child, naturally relaxed and freehand, standing out from the crowd.
In 1986, Rodman from the NCAA Second Division, Southeast Oklahoma State University, was selected by the Pistons in the second round overall 27th. Rodman is almost 26 years old when he enters the NBA, so his peak is all dedicated to the Detroit Pistons.
Here's a message that Rodman, who entered the NBA a year earlier, once became Pippen's spiritual icon. Pippen, from a poor family, comes from the Arkansas countryside, is fragile, taciturn, and extremely unconfident, and also works for Arkansas College in the second-tier league. The same height is very short, mixed origin, the same year of height soared, hit the main force. Pippen firmly believes that Rodman can enter the NBA, and he can also enter the NBA from the second division league.
Rodman was extremely lucky, lazy and withdrawn, and the Detroit Pistons were the best team for him, and there was no one. In 1986, there was already principal Daley, teaching director Lambir, head coach Rick Mahon, team leader Thomas, strict governance, hard style, and the strength of the Pistons was already in the stage of rushing out of the East to compete for the championship. The management of problem teenagers is rough and direct, and the effect is excellent. The first training was late, and the teammates had not yet faced the skinny Rodman who had a name, and they were put down by Lambier, an old punch. None of the teammates were persuaded, watching casually as Rodman was beaten. From that moment on, his performance in the Pistons was a well-behaved baby, obedient to the party's command, with a good style and able to win battles. To put it bluntly, Rodman, the recruit egg of Hanger Lang, did not have a cruel person to give him such a look, the ball skills are rough, disobeying discipline, it is estimated that he will soon fall, which needs to thank Lambier. As the most insidious villain in the league, Lambier has made many people hospitalized unable to participate in training and competition, but Lambier himself never arrives late for training competitions, attendance is frighteningly high, and it is impossible for locker room leaders to have nothing, especially competitiveness and professional attitude.
Which team a player joins during his rookie period basically determines his honor. In the modern NBA, except for a very few big gods like Jordan and Big Dream, no one can lead the team with fish belly and only one hand against the sky. All rely on the star effect of five positions to win the championship.
If there is any team that does the best job in new talent development, it is the Spurs. With Duncan's assistant teachings (how strong the admiral is, how much he is underrated domestically in the center position, I will arrange a chapter to refine), and the glass-physique Duncan did not die in his rookie period. Mature Duncan, inheriting the mantle of the admiral, cultivated the low-ranking Manu, Parker, and Xiaoka one by one into talents, and achieved a beautiful conversation.
Lambir's dad is super rich, and there are no challenges in life to play basketball. Intending to prove to his father in the basketball field that he was also very good, Lambier did whatever it took to win. Beating Rodman is even more important, Lambier has money, and it is not a matter of his mind not to cause a human life. Lambier's physical fitness is average, and to play his own world, it depends on a very high IQ and court insight. With the help of Mahon's reputation as the number one thug at the time, Lambir did whatever he wanted on the field, engaged in whoever he wanted, made frequent tricks, made extremes, destroyed people tirelessly, and enjoyed it tirelessly. And life is difficult, things are not going well, and Rodman needs to vent hisself on the court, watching the evil Lambier performance all day long, which has a strong resonance. It can be said that the heart understands the spirit, and there is no teacher. Lambier said: The stadium is the only place where he legally plays black people.
How to do it legally, must be to swing elbows, pad feet, push and shove, lock throat, tripping people at the same time acting skills explode. Pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be innocent, pretending to fall, trash talking, provoking trouble, doing everything. In these respects, Rodman was talented, well-informed, and quickly became a teacher. Compared to Lambier Mahon's black hearted dead hand, the immature Rodman has a unique performance on the court. "The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy garrisons us to disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase", the great man's theory of guerrilla warfare was used by Rodman to come to a fascinating conclusion.
Rodman was young at the time, his physical strength was super good, and he looked at the thin strength that did not fully come up, but his legs and feet were brisk, and he did not lose to the Divine Taibao Daizong. Being caught by him is like being surrounded by African wild dogs, and they are in pain. Coupled with his unparalleled speed and continuous jumping ability, Rodman, who judged the situation, dared to fight, gradually entered the main rotation lineup, and gained a foothold in the team.
Why I have always felt that Rodman is particularly smart, because he is particularly clear and clear about his strengths and weaknesses and current situation. On the first day of entering the NBA, he was beaten by Lambier, and he figured everything out at the first time. The most urgent thing is how to stay in the star-studded piston decently, combined with his own conditions to make a precise positioning, no one can handle it better than Rodman, which lays a solid foundation for his future expansion.
In the Pistons of '86, Thomas was already the first point guard offensive organization in the league, Lambier could have a beautiful mid-range shot inside and outside, rookie quarterback Dumas's offensive and defensive strength was at a glance, Microwave Winnie Johnson scored like a probe, Dantley is not to mention it, his scoring ability I think and Jordan is as magical. The most important thing off the pitch is Rick Mahon, who can grab the board and is very good at fighting, which is quite important. What will I do?? Rodman couldn't help but ask himself.
At that time, the Pistons had both attack and defense, and attacking Rodman basically would not, but dirty work could be rushed to do. Running at all costs, fiercely fighting for defense, grabbing rebounds without death, and attacking twice from the basket, these require physical strength and confrontation, and he has the opportunity to do well. So Rodman started from this piece, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, focus on defense, in order to survive.
Lambier was the rebounding king last season, how did he do it? Rodman was inspired by observing Lambier's game up close. As mentioned before, Lambier's small movements helped him dominate defensive rebounds, squeezes, elbows, stumbling, waist, throat locks, and he knew it well. These Rodmans learned quickly, but their height and weight are a big disadvantage, and grabbing rebounds is inherently disadvantageous. So Rodman was on the sidelines, carefully observing each player's shooting patterns, grasping their most likely shots, and remembering the regular trajectory of their rebounds after shooting. Kung Fu pays off, and while the defensive end of the dog skin plaster-style close-quarters stares make the opponent cry bitterly, Rodman's fight for rebounds is constantly polished and refined.
In the 86-87 season, the 25-year-old Rodman was still relatively thin, and he played small forwards in 201, only starting one game.
87-88 Rodman's second season was also a substitute, but in the Eastern Conference Finals win over the Celtics series, Rodman defended the big bird, and performed well.
In the 88-89 season, Rodman is 28 years old, so please remember that 28 is the year when most NBA stars reach their peak. This year, Rodman relied on active defense and excellent rebounding ability, and slowly became the main small forward, the main defense of the opponent's front guard line of scoring cattle people. After Dantley left, Rodman filled Dantley's lack on the offensive end with a tough defense, helping the Pistons win two consecutive titles.
During the two consecutive years, in the Pistons' east-time final elimination of the Bulls, Rodman gave the Pistons great help on the front line, relying on defensive enthusiasm and rebounding, which made Jordan and Pippen suffer. Look where Rodman's knees are, the old hooligan is going to suffer!! The big worm and the piston together, with an extremely ferocious play, dragged Jordan for two years and stood at the peak of his life. Forced Jordan into the gym, sweating like rain, and practicing a body of tendon meat. There was also the so-called suicide way breakfast club, all for the purpose of obtaining invincible confrontation and physical fitness. In short, the Savage Pistons forced out the invincible Jordan, and rodman's credit is also credited here.
There was once a ball, Jordan easily broke through Rodman, the bottom line faced Lambier strong, in the air against Lambier after the shot, was chased by Rodman a big hat fan flew. The embarrassed old rogue then gave Rodman three big hats in response.
In the 90-91 season, the strong and abnormal Jordan appeared, and the Pistons knew through the regular season competition that this year could not stop Jordan from winning the championship. In the fourth game of the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals, when the overall situation was decided, the losing Rodman violently pushed pippen, causing pippen to seriously injure his chin, stitch six stitches, and the two men tied the beam. Rodman then admitted: I didn't mean to hurt Pippen, but I thought we had lost too badly, and I was very angry and did push Pippen out. Rodman averaged 12.5 boards per game that year, earning the best defense.
91-92 Rodman averaged 18.7 boards per game to become the rebounding king. In the 92-93 season, he averaged 18.3 boards per game and won the rebounding championship, and there was an explosive performance of 34 boards in a single game.
Rodman spent seven years in the Pistons at his peak, holding 2 championships, 5 first defenses, 1 third-team, 2 best defenses, 2 All-Stars, 2 rebounding kings, basically cashing in on his talent.
In the position of the team, after Lambier, Dantley, Thomas, Dumas, Aguire is roughly the fifth and sixth man position.
Not to say that the rebounding king is not important, Rodman was extremely impeccable on the defensive end during the Pistons. But his offense is so bad, he's on the field, when he attacks, it's basically four to five, which is also a huge burden on the team. Rodman, who is seriously biased, despite having rebounding kings and the best defense, the reality of the fifth and sixth man in the Pistons is also objective.
Then Rodman came to the Spurs to assist the top general, and with good luck, it was also a good time. In the past two years, Jordan was abused at the baseball field, but the big dream of 94 years was too invincible, and the glider was still at its peak the following year. Rodman didn't play the effect he wanted at the Spurs, and he hated that the admiral was too soft, and did not agree to the team's arrangement for him to assist admirals in packing up Big Dream and Ewing. In fact, the general is also depressed, on the strength of the team he is the best of the four, the strongest athletic ability, everything in the line, no shortcomings, is at the peak, the spurs have played the best record in the past two years. Unfortunately, in terms of style, the admiral is flat and stable, and the speed of action is comparable to that of a defender, and he is full of fake actions, and he has fallen into the name of soft egg. Hey, Jordan gave everyone a chance, only the Big Dream Glider seized it, luck and strength are important, create people ah!!
Popovich was the Spurs general manager at the time, Jordan's brother, under Dean Smith, talking about team basketball, reasonable basketball. Rodman was his own and temperamental, and in his eyes, the team's wins and losses at that time were not as important as the rebounding king. Zhuge Wei and Da Worm are two types of people, one is strict and does not smile, the other is strange, and neither of them can urinate in a pot at all. It was only a matter of time before he was swept out of the house by the spurs, and the big worm once looked down on his future, and he was sincerely afraid and restless all the time.
It had to be said about his encounter with Madonna. Madonna and Rodman met on a show. Madonna was popular all over the world at the time, and her status was comparable to that of Michael Jackson. Rodman was a little embarrassed in front of her, but Rodman was not afraid of heaven and did not have much of a cold feeling for Madonna. This instead piqued Madonna's interest, and the tall, prickly Rodman was quickly captured by Madonna. In the beginning, they were like glue, and the two who acted grotesquely were once optimistic about the future. Sister Mai wants to be a mother and uses a private jet to pull Rodman back from the Las Vegas casino to create people. But just two weeks later, Rodman fought himself. He said that Sister Mai said that as long as the creation of people is successful, 20 million can be given, which is much faster than playing ball to make money. But 7-8 times a night, it is really hard to play handstands. In order to leave alive, it is more reliable to go back and play honestly. Later, Madonna often missed the big worm, but the big worm hid far away and hung up the free battle card. There is no ploughed land, only tired cattle, this is true.
However, in the process of getting along with Madonna, Rodman learned to package himself and use his characteristics to the extreme. So he looked weird, his hair was new, he looked different, he had a variety of tricks, and his tattoos, nose rings, earrings, and earrings were fully armed. Rodman, whose skills are not outstanding, in that era of underdeveloped information, has been regarded as the existence of the top stream, relying on a variety of eye-catching peach news, absurd dress, unpredictable bizarre behavior on the court.
As early as the time of the Break with the Pistons, Rodman had a big problem with his psychology. There is no strong boss to manage himself, to go to an unfamiliar environment, he is afraid of not adapting, and even has suicidal thoughts. In the Spurs' encounter, Rodman's family's words were: The Spurs said they would be kind to themselves, but in the end they still had to sweep me out of the house.
Yes, Rodman was still the rebounding king at the time, he only saw rebounds in his eyes, and the rest was not important. Originally biased seriously, disobeying discipline, disregarding the overall situation, even the good old generals do not buy it, which team do someone want ah?
In the early chapters, I've listed how many good big forwards the league had at the time, Rodman's overall strength could not rank in the top fifteen, coupled with the debauchery of personality, no team in the league was willing to accept this untimely bomb. Only the Pistons and Bucks wanted Rodman, and the chip was a second-round pick. No one is a fool, and if Rodman is really strong and easy to use, it can't be only this value. And Rodman's salary of 2.5 million in the 95-96 season, with only a one-year contract, is used for many teams to over-trade and not let Rodman play is very cost-effective.
However, it is no coincidence that Jordan returned in 1995 and was played by the Magic 4-2 rounds in the second round of the playoffs. The biggest reason for the Bulls' loss is definitely Jordan's rush to make a comeback, and the strength has not recovered. There is also Grant, one of the Bulls' previous troikas, who went to magic, and the Bulls' lack of a big forward is also a big shortcoming. Originally, the Bulls' center was a weak champion in the league, and now there is not even a qualified big forward, which is really difficult to play. So Jordan and Zen asked the team to find a big striker who could use it. General manager Klaus scoured the entire league, and the good big forwards were all on big contracts, and there was no suitable candidate. The only big forward in the opposition, no one wants, is a big worm that breaks a basket and is a thousand fingers. Rodman proved to be a match made in heaven for bulls. Jordan's attack and defense are not solved, rodman as long as he is at ease to grab the board, Jordan can indeed fly with the bull.
In a hurry, the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, and the bull drives the duck to the shelf, easily recruiting Rodman. Using the Bulls' third center alone, white Purdue, traded Rodman. This was a gamble for the Bulls at the time, as Jordan's comeback was too hasty and the team faced a facelift problem at the end of the playoffs. Fortunately, Rodman himself very much wanted to play with Jordan, but he was afraid that Jordan would not bird him and lose his job. Pistons' bad boy house, very appetizing to Rodman, has no father love since childhood, and his mother can't discipline Rodman, and it's easy to find a sense of belonging in that kind of villain camp. In a serious team like the Spurs, it is very unsociable, so what will happen to the Bulls Rodman himself has no bottom.
Before making a deal, Zen and Klaus consulted Jordan before agreeing to interview Rodman. With a final year of $2.5 million, Rodman wanted a higher salary, but at the age of 35 and uninvited in the market, he didn't look confident. When he met with the Zen master at Klaus's house, the Zen master asked him if you wanted to play. Rodman said I just wanted to make more money. The Zen master replied: Your salary will be tied to your performance. Rodman nodded and didn't say anything. The next day Zen Master and Rodman met individually and exchanged views on points of mutual concern. Rodman truthfully told zen master why he was leaving the Spurs, and he felt that the Spurs were not humane enough and had a poor tolerance for his life style. The Zen master asked Rodman if he understood the way the bulls played and why he wanted you to come. Rodman laughed and replied: Send the score, don't you grab the ball and give it to Jordan :) Zen Master laughed: Yes, grab the board and give it to Jordan, let him take us to fly.
Rodman is very direct, and he has passed the Zen master level. Now mainly to seek the advice of the bull boss Jordan, the Zen master conveyed the spirit of the meeting with Rodman. Jordan said: As long as Rodman can play well, the space off the court is everyone's freedom, I have no opinion, the point is that he can play well normally. The Zen master told Pippen the news that Rodman was going to join the team, and Pippen was very surprised, and the last time he was injured by Rodman, he hated Rodman. But no way, Klaus never had much communication with the players, and no one but Jordan had the right to know.
Given the harmony of the team, Klaus was still at his house, arranging a private meeting between Zen Masters, Rodman, Jordan and Pippen. Jordan and Pippen Bird are not big bugs, and big bugs seem to be impatient. So the Zen master and the big worm said: You go and apologize to Pippen and look at my thin face. Rodman really went to the kitchen and Pippen apologized, but Pippen still didn't buy it. At this time, Jordan spoke: the past is over, we also need a big forward, since Rodman is here, everyone will not care about the previous suspicions, take the championship and then say. On October 2, the Bulls' deal with the Spurs was reached, and the Chicagoans sent Wilpdu in exchange for Rodman.
In the first training session, Rodman surprised everyone. He didn't communicate with any of his teammates, but he didn't run the wrong tactics, and the training enthusiasm was high, just a little dull. A few days later the reporter asked Jordan what he thought of Rodman, and the old rogue said: He is quieter than expected, he is a little shy, I don't know why there are always people who are biased against him, and I have a few times in private with him, and I have found a lot of advantages. Only Pippen told the Chicago Tribune reporter Sam Smith the truth, "We've been training together several times, but we haven't talked to him yet." When he talks about tactics, he listens and doesn't talk. But strangely enough, he never ran the wrong tactics. "It shows the old rogue's city government, he knows how to lead the team, how to talk in front of the media."
As the contact on the pitch deepened, the teammates gradually adapted to Rodman's arrival. Jordan felt rodman needed to stay focused, and he would occasionally hand him a Cuban cigar and talk for a moment. In short, Rodman felt that Jordan was not bad, and Jordan did not feel that Rodman was as bad as rumored.
Before coming to the Bulls, Rodman was well aware of Jordan's basketball prowess, and only recognized his skills and balls at the time, and was not impressed by Jordan's personality. On November 7, 1995, in the final moments of the Bulls' home game against the Raptors, Rodman and the team doctor said that his calf was very sore, and the next day he said that he missed training with a stomachache. After being confirmed to have a muscle strain in the lower leg, Rodman was absent for a month.
They are almost 35 years old, and everyone can't expect Rodman to still be like a young man, the court and the love field. Some people worry that it will not be Rodman's heart. At this time, Jordan's words completely convinced Rodman: Rodman is here, we will play much easier, because of his defensive and rebounding protection ability. But if the big worm is absent, I will still lead the team forward and wait for him to come back.
This was exactly the case, a year in which Jordan held back a grudge to re-rule the League, and Rodman's month of absence, except for the magic game of losing to Penny, won almost all of them. There is no soundproof wall in the world, Jordan boasted of the sea mouth was learned by Rodman, combined with Jordan's actions, Rodman determined that Jordan has a large pattern, follow Jordan even if he follows the right person, from then on to Jordan a hundred clothes, saddle before the horse, obedient.
On December 10, Rodman returned to the field, dyed his hair green, faced the gangster Knicks, and won 20 boards, including 7 frontcourt boards, in front of the fierce Oakley and the strong man Mason. Jordan was full of praise after the game, saying bluntly that Rodman made the game easy. Rodman BB solemnly: The dollar is green, and my hair color says it all. In fact, he was hinting at the Zen master, I typed out, you have to give me a raise. This game Rodman reassured his teammates and, more importantly, won the trust of Bulls fans.
I have to say that Rodman is a very smart person, this year for the new contract, he fought hard, played extra focused. A combination of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman who had three defensive strengths dominated the league completely. Years later Jordan said: I have six championships, I can't say I'm GOT. But in the '95-96 season, the Bulls won the championship 72-10, and the teammates that year were stronger, and the Bulls were the best team in history. If you are not convinced, please prove it to me. So the 73-win overall runner-up became a complete laughing stock.
In the first year of the Bulls, everyone on the team wanted to win the championship, Rodman for the upcoming high salary, Pippen did not want to lead the team to lose all the time, and Jordan was humiliated by Anderson and O'Neal for the 1995 playoffs. The three armies used their lives, the same enemy should, the bull east decisive swept the magic, the general decision to take supersonic speed lightly. Rodman was instrumental, and Jordan's victory had never been so easy.
Due to his excellent performance in the first year of the Bulls, Rodman played 64 games in the regular season, starting 57 games, averaging 14.9 boards per game, and rebounding king. Rodman's salary rose to $9 million in the '96-97 season, considering that Rodman's salary at the age of 97-98 was set at 4.5 million in 98 years. Through his own efforts, Rodman has achieved more work and more, which is gratifying.
In the 96-97 regular season, Rodman played 55 games due to injury, started 54 games, and averaged 16.7 rebounds per game.
Among them, in the regular season against the Lakers, played a famous scene. December 17, 1996 was a nightmare for O'Neill, going high and low. In the first half, the Lakers had a smooth ride, facing the itching of the boots of Langley Winnington and others, O'Neal almost smashed the Bulls' half-time basket, scoring 25 points at halftime, and the Lakers were far ahead of 22 points. In the second half, O'Neal faced Winnington and scored four consecutive points, and in desperation, Rodman was arranged to greet O'Neal. After this dog skin plaster was applied, O'Neill was uncomfortable, like a ghost, and would not play for a moment. Throughout the second half, in the face of Rodman's harassment, O'Neill was like a eunuch visiting the kiln, unable to make it strong, and the particles were not harvested. As a result, the Bulls defeated the Lakers in overtime, and rodmans won. Seeing that the defeat was decided, O'Neill, who had been harassed by Rodman for half a day, finally became hairy and joined his teammates in scolding Rodman. Faced with a furious and furious O'Neill, Jordan and Pippen smiled and pushed Down Rodman, and the three of them smiled happily.
With this half-court defensive performance as an endorsement, Rodman said not long ago: James is not technically good, I can arrange him one-handed in minutes, referring to the encounter of O'Neal at the peak, you have to believe.
In the 1997 Finals, despite playing very hard, the elderly Rodman was blown up by Malone, averaging only 2.3 points and 7.7 boards per game in 6 games, and the data was only half of the regular season. Fortunately, the old rogue had no solution, shot the kill, desperately took down the King Mountain, and assisted Cole in the last game to shoot the winning goal. Rodman won two straight titles with the Bulls.
Everything is not three, it is too difficult to think of three consecutive championships, and various problems arise endlessly. Contract problems, aging teams, increased injuries, lack of motivation to win titles, and so on. In the 97-98 season, the Bulls were worried about internal and external troubles, Pippen was emotional, and chose to have surgery after the start of the game, resulting in a nearly half of the regular season. Jordan led the team to the strongest record in the East, waiting for Pippen to return. Jordan, 35, with Harper, 35, and Rodman, 37, are very hard.
After Pippen returned from recovery, Rodman took two days off from the team to relax and flew straight to Las Vegas, where he made crazy outputs for star Carmen. Jordan had a premonition that Rodman would not have enough time for two days, so he personally came to the hotel to call the door, and Carmen and the big worm were lying naked on the bed, and Carmen was frightened and hid.
Carmen later penetrated, and she and the big worm were in full swing for a while. One day, Rodman blindfolded her and rode Harley to a place. Removing her blindfold, she found herself on the Bulls' centre court. So the arena, the training room, the locker room, everything was defiled by them.
After returning, Rodman may have been overindulged and weak and abnormal on the court. The Bulls struggled to win the next game, Jordan looked very ugly, did not communicate with the media and teammates, and left. Back at the hotel, Rodman knew the boss was angry. In the evening, Rodman crept open Jordan's door and asked nervously: Head, are there any extra cigars, the kind that cuban women rub out of their thighs. Jordan handed Rodman one, and the big worm left happily. That's how Rodman apologized, and he didn't know how to say it well. This is also Jordan's cleverness, and it is useless to talk too much to Rodman, I just act to show you, without you, you have to know each other. So Rodman ended the farce with Carmen, put his mind on the court, and dutifully assisted Jordan in running to the triple crown.
In the 98 finals, Rodman also fought, but after all, he was 38, and he was blown up by Malone like last year. There is a famous scene during this period, Rodman and Malone, two old balls, began to stretch out their black feet at each other in the backcourt, and fell one after another in a row.
This year's finals, Rodman tried his best, Pippen was seriously injured, and the rest could only be left to Providence!!
The old rogue was too fierce and single-handedly strangled jazz's counterattack in the sixth game. A final layup, a steal, a mid-range shot, Jordan is as magical as a mythical story. Led the team to another three consecutive championships.
Rodman, who had only fifth and sixth man status at the peak of the Pistons, at the age of 35-38, had an old man who took him to three consecutive championships and got a high salary. It became famous, sucked up countless powders, and even became the prototype of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Without Jordan, Rodman would most likely have been unemployed in '95, relying on the piston's two fifth and sixth rings in the late '80s, with extremely limited influence.
Rodman is a temperamental person, he is very slippery, very direct, dare to be bold, is a very complex personality. Strange clothes, tattoo pendants, all kinds of hair, good manners. He can do anything to win, save the ball and fly out of the field, and fall hard. After losing, the deliberate overthrow of Pippen caused him to injure his jaw. If the mood is not good, it can make the photojournalist on the sidelines cut off his children and grandchildren. Not wanting to play can make all sorts of strange excuses. If you want to win, let him go to the defensive peak O'Neal has no problem. As for the competition, creating friction, making something out of nothing, deliberately provoking trouble is a small skill. Pretending to be innocent, technical fouls, and being banned are even more common. The style of life is eroded, and I admit that during the period of playing, there are 2000 royal daughters, at least 570 good families.
Back in his rookie days, Rodman earned just $2.6 million in four years, and there wasn't much to pay taxes. One night, he and his teammates walked out of the restaurant. Seeing a pregnant woman on the side of the road begging with two babies, the big worm did not say a word and gave her the only $250 in her pocket. It is said that as long as there is money in the pocket and sees homeless people, the big worm will give generously. This shows its charity side.
Rodman is a very self-sufficient. 20 years of playing career, holding 5 crowns, 7 times selected for the first defense, 7 times the rebounding king, 2 times the best defense, 2 times the all-star. He himself said that in his world, there are only basketball and women. These two big worms double harvest, proper life winner. In the world of basketball, he only serves Jordan, just one person.
On April 2, 2011, Dennis Rodman's No. 10 jersey was retired by the Pistons. On August 13 of the same year, he was inducted into the Nye Smith Basketball Hall of Fame. He said in his speech: "Jordan and Pippen are the two people I have ever seen who can play the most in my life. This "will" word is used very expressively, please taste it carefully.
After the broadcast of Jordan's documentary "The Last Dance", Bulls' old teammates Pippen, Grant, Cartwright and others accused Jordan of demeaning himself. Looking back, it is not easy to look at Jordan, the worst team, the worst teammates, two dynasties with one hand, comparable to ascending to the sky.
In 1990, the East Finals were seven, Pippen was one of ten, and Grant was 3 of 17. What happened to Jordan? When did Jordan ever pull his crotch like this!!
In the summer of 1997, Pippen was unhappy with the low salary, and dragged it out until the start of the game to go to the operation, was it not selfish?? The first four crowns Jordan's salary is not necessarily higher than Pippen's, Jordan complained about it!!
Rodman sided with Jordan on the side of the matter, "These players have some sadness because it feels like Jordan has abandoned them. I think it's not that Jordan is too harsh, it's that his teammates are weak. Jordan became a god based entirely on his personal strength and effort, and only he was irreplaceable. If you want to be Jordan's teammate or former teammate, you have to adapt to everything Jordan has to do. ”
If there is anyone who is the strongest player in basketball, it is undoubtedly Jordan. Whoever has the strongest IQ and EQ in the NBA has at least one Rodman in my answer.
