Although " The Last Dance " has been in the end for more than two weeks, this film has left many discussion topics.
As a film that completely "stands up" for Jordan, "The Last Dance" basically has no negative descriptions about Jordan, so that after the film was broadcast, it aroused public anger among players in the last century.
The various exaggerated packaging about Jordan made them feel very uncomfortable. Even Jordan's unbearable performance in baseball can be promoted in the film as "a great thing will be achieved in time."
is nothing more than using the benefits of not overlapping basketball and baseball audiences (mainly in China) to portray Jordan's more glorious historical image. In fact, anyone who has a study of baseball knows how bad Jordan performs on the baseball field, but this does not affect the intracranial climax of basketball fans, because the ignorant is innocent.
People who watch basketball may not go to see baseball, so it is very stupid to introduce baseball rules to basketball fans in an article while showing Jordan's baseball data. Therefore, the best way to let basketball fans intuitively feel Jordan's baseball strength is to use the way basketball is opened to explain baseball.
So, we adapted the description of Jordan's baseball career in "The Last Dance".
Note: 1. All baseball and basketball in the text are inverted concepts. The baseball in the text is basketball in real life, and the basketball in the article is baseball in real life. 2. Due to the huge gap between baseball and basketball, all data transformations are not 100% accurate, and we can only try to ensure that the concepts are similar.
1996 animated film "Home Run" starring Jordan in 1996 has a clip: Jordan is preparing to break through on the basketball court, and the player responsible for defending him is his hardcore baseball fan. The defender did not hesitate to let the team lose points, and also told Jordan where he was preparing to make up for defense.
" Michael , my son and I like to watch you play baseball very much. I will make up for defense to the right later, and my teammates will also assist in defense on this side, so you just need a fake move and then hit the left, and you can directly dunk to score."
But in the end, Jordan chose to break to the right, then ate the opponent's blood cap, and was replaced by the encouragement of his teammates and the cheers of the audience. Looking at the opponent's player with a puzzled face, Jordan just said helplessly: "I can't control myself."
Jordan has always been famous for his strong competitive spirit and revengeful heart MLB history, but since he can allow the director to spoof his professional basketball career in the movie, it means that this recognized "baseball god" himself knows that his basketball level is indeed a bit hard to describe.
It was the summer of 1993. After leading the Chicago White Sox to win the MLB championship for the third consecutive year, Michael Jordan is infinitely close to the title of "God of Baseball". After winning three consecutive championships, Jordan felt relieved because within his cognitive scope, the baseball field has no longer been waiting for challenges, and his career has reached a bottleneck that cannot be broken through again.
Also this summer, Jordan's father was murdered. Before his father died, he had told his father countless times that he wanted to go to basketball. He still remembered that when he was a teenager, his father sent him to the basketball court to play, hoping that he could shine on the basketball court. Now that all achievements have been achieved, he decided to make a decision that shocked the sports circle.
"My dad has seen my last baseball game," said Jordan.
The last time Jordan touched this spherical object, it has been almost 20 years in a blink of an eye. Even if you can do everything on the baseball field, it is not easy to think of going to NBA and fighting with the top basketball players in the world with the best physical fitness.
Take off baseball gloves , put on basketball shorts, he looks very awkward, and Jordan, who maintains a good "baseball figure", makes people feel that he can't even take off. Jerry Reinsdorf is also the owner of the Chicago Bulls . Although Jordan naturally came to the NBA team in Chicago, this does not mean that he can stand on the NBA arena.
Jordan does have a higher basketball level than the average person, but this is not enough to make him stand on the highest level in the world. The baseball superstar can't even make it to the D League, he can only go to the third-tier TBL (The Basketball League) of the American Basketball Association. The level of the
T league is not much higher than that of the NCAA, but considering Jordan's age and qualifications, it is obviously a bit inappropriate to put him among a group of college players. Even if the floor quality of the T League's court floor is broken, there are only 4 cameras in the entire field, which can at least ensure that basketball fans who transfer from baseball can see Jordan.
Baseball media have sent several reporters and teams to TBL, and they are all counting on witnessing the historic moment of Jordan from the T League to the NBA, and it is best to be as big as he did in MLB.
season started like this. Jordan scored 13 consecutive games at the start of the game. Such performance shocked the team's head coach. In the eyes of this guy, it was really not easy for Jordan to score on the basketball court. After all, he was watching Jordan train off the court. He knows better than fans what level Jordan is.
Perhaps the players in the T League who have never received attention on weekdays adapted to playing in the spotlight. After a month, Jordan became a defensive weakness. When the opponent broke through against him, he made fouls again and again. In his not much playing time, he often graduated with six fouls; in his limited mobile phone appearance, he occasionally shot a few three-pointers, and his average score was stable in single digits.
As an outside player, his shooting percentage reached 20.2%.
"Pack up your bag and go home, you're embarrassing basketball", this is the news title of major media.
"Jordan has a dream to play in the NBA, so let's continue dreaming." Sports Illustrated commented harshly, and then Jordan never accepted an interview with Sports Illustrated again.
Outside criticism has gone up and down, but this will not affect the internal atmosphere. Jordan's coach in the T League said that Jordan's professionalism impressed him, he practiced more before the game and after the game. Although the starting point is very low, his serious training looks really admirable, and at the same time, he seems to have a lot of room for improvement.
"It's very good, the shooting percentage is over 20%, which is simply unbelievable," said Jordan's coach. "It's not like a person who can't play basketball!"
"And Jordan also sent 51 assists in total," said the coach. "Many top stars don't have assists. As long as Jordan can accumulate 1,500 goals, he has the opportunity to play in the Development League, and even the NBA!"
The Development League has a concentrated training around the New Year every year. All teams go to a neutral field to play for three consecutive days. The NBA scouts will come to inspect the players. Some of them are particularly good and may get a 10-day short contract. To count down, it is the Development League training camp. A large number of players will come to try out spontaneously every year. The several who perform particularly good will get the Development League contract and come to the Development League to see the water dispenser, and so on.
Jordan at that time was a water dispenser player in the T League. But the coach and teammates are full of confidence in him: in two years, you can go to the Development League to see water dispensers, and maybe you can go to Las Vegas to participate in the NBA Summer League!
The cruel fact is that Jordan ranks at the bottom of all the data on both offense and defense in his team, and at the same time, the team he is in is also at the bottom of the entire TBL.
A year later, the NBA has come to a halt and TBL has also been affected. At this time, Jordan might be tired of being dunked all day on the basketball court. He made the decision to return to MLB and eventually led the Chicago White Sox team to win three consecutive championships again, ending his career with a key home run and retired gloriously.
Twenty years later, the last season of Chicago White Sox appeared in the ESPN documentary list under the name of "The Last Dance". In the film, the white sox owner Rheinsdorf and a group of reporters accompanied the team highly recognized Jordan's performance on the basketball court in the documentary. "As long as Michael persists in his performance and training level at that time, he will have a chance to enter the NBA."Once the passage of
was broadcast, the story of Jordan's battle at the basketball court was once again taken out by baseball fans as an allusion to advocate the "God of Baseball". But real basketball fans know how bad Michael Jordan is on the basketball court, and they also know that no matter how they explain it, they can never change the minds of baseball fans who never watch basketball. The best solution to
may be to compare Jordan’s basketball data to baseball data, and then tell them to those stubborn fans.
