The unusualness of 2020 is probably something that most people have never imagined. With the suspension of major sports events, sports fans have also entered a vacuum period where there is no live broadcast and only look back. Coupled with the death of Kobe Bryant this year , The launch of "The Last Dance" at this time is of great significance to many sports fans, especially basketball fans.
"The Last Dance" records the story of the 1997-98 Bulls chasing three consecutive championships, and it is this story that provides the ultimate interpretation and conclusion for that Bull and why Jordan is called great.
In fact, many veteran fans will recount this history: about the overall psychological exhaustion of the team, the physical and mental state of the role players, the dissatisfaction of Pippen and the lace of the bug, the uncertain future of Zen Master in the Bulls, and the team at the time. An overt, fraught relationship with Bulls management (especially Jerry Krause) overall. These are mentioned in Jordan's biography as well as in the autobiography of the Zen master, and even highlighted. This documentary, to a certain extent, makes up for the lack of images in this history.
Judging from the first two episodes, this documentary brings together the past of the Bulls and the events of the 1997-98 season, showing the process of the Last Dance from the perspective of contrast and fusion, giving birth to a lot of fun. I believe that with the release of more dusty images, people will appreciate the hardship behind the word "great" more.
For the Bulls, the 1998 season was a tipping point. The open contradiction has made it difficult for this Bulls team to maintain. In fact, the 1998 season almost turned into a shadow under the influence of general manager Krause's trading operations. In the end, under the balance of the boss, Jordan, Zen master and others, all parties still put it on hold. Let’s move forward under the controversy, but everyone understands that the irreconcilable contradictions are only temporarily suppressed, and the birds and beasts after the end of the season are irreversible. This is also the origin of the name of The Last Dance, not only the definition of the Bulls' 98 season made by later people in terms of time, but also the ending that every party involved understood at that time.
What's interesting is that at the end of the first episode, at the ring presentation ceremony before the start of the new season of the Bulls, the first person to appear in the camera is Klaus. In the light belonging to the champion and some boos in the audience, he received it. own glory. He has never been a sinner. Strictly speaking, he is one of the greatest contributors to the creation of the Bull Dynasty, but he is also a mortal with low self-esteem, a professional and ruthless manager. The crowd cheers for the player and the indifference to him, he is in the championship situation he has painstakingly managed, but he has never been out of tune with it.
