内容简介

The most gifted athlete ever to play the game, Michael Jordan rose to heights no basketball player had ever reached before. What drove Michael Jordan? The pursuit of team success...or of his own personal glory? The pursuit of excellence...or of his next multimillion-dollar endorsement? The flight of the man they call Air Jordan had been rocked by controversy.

In The Jordan Rules, which chronicles the Chicago Bulls' first championship season, Sam Smith takes the #1 Bull by the horns to reveal the team behind the man...and the man behind the Madison Avenue smile. Here is the inside game, both on and off the court, including:
-Jordan's power struggles with management, from verbal attacks on the general manager to tantrums against his coach
-Behind-the-scenes feuds, as Jordan punches a teammate in practice and refuses to pass the ball in the crucial minutes of big games
-The players who competed with His Airness for Air Time -- Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright -- telling their sides of the story
-A penetrating look at coach Phil Jackson, the former flower child who blossomed into one of the NBA's top motivators and who finally found a way to coax "Michael and the Jordanaires" -to the their first title

A provocative eyewitness account, The Jordan Rules delivers all the nonstop excitement, tension, and thrills of a championship season -- and an intense, fascinating portrait of the incomparable Michael Jordan.

精彩书评

An engaging, sometimes cruelly funny behind-the-scenes look at the Bulls' tantrum-and doubt-filled but finally triumphant journey to the NBA title.
--New York Newsday

Jordan boasts a wicked tongue, and not just when it's hanging out as he dunks....[He] manages to blurt out enough in Smith's book to reveal his own narcissistic, trash-talking, obsessively competitive side.
--Newsweek

The Jordan Rules entertains throughout, but the most fun comes from just hanging out with the players. Smith takes us into the locker room, aboard the team plane and team bus, and seats us on the bench during games. Sometimes, books reflecting on a team's success don't reach the personal level with the people who made it happen: The Jordan Rules does.
--Associated Press

A riveting account...what you want in a sports book: the behind-the-scenes stuff, a peek at the private side of the players, their hobbies and politics and religion, the way they get along or don't...It's fair to compare The Jordan Rules with the campaign books that appear after every presidential race....The difference is not only that The Jordan Rules explains more persuasively than most of the campaign chronicles how the winner was decided -- it's that it does so more interestingly and with more understanding of the human heart.
--Fred Barnes (The McLaughlin Group), The American Spectator

Chapter One: Spring 1990
Michael Jordan surveyed his crew and got that sinking feeling.
It was just before 11:00 A.M. on May 24, 1990, two days after the Bulls had fallen behind the Detroit Pistons two games to none in the Eastern Conference finals. The city of was awash in spring -- all two hours of it, as the old-time residents like to say -- but Jordan wasn't feeling very sunny. He didn't even feel like playing golf, which friends would say meant he was near death.
The Bulls had gathered for practice at the Deerfield Multiplex, a tony health club about thirty-five miles north of Chicago, to try to get themselves back into the series. Jordan's back hurt, as did his hip, shoulder, wrist, and thigh, thanks to a two-on-one body slam in Game 1 courtesy of Dennis Rodman and John Salley. But his back didn't hurt nearly as much as his pride or his competitiveness, for the Bulls were being soundly whipped by the Pistons, and Jordan was growing desperately angry and frustrated.
"I looked over and saw Horace [Grant] and Scottie [Pippen] screwing around, joking and messing up," Jordan told an acquaintance later. "They've got the talent, but they don't take it seriously. And the rookies were together, as usual. They've got no idea what it's all about. The white guys [John Paxson and Ed Nealy], they work hard, but they don't have the talent. And the rest of them? Who knows what to expect? They're not good for much of anything."
It was a burden Michael Jordan felt he had to bear. The weight of the entire team was on his tired shoulders.
The Pistons had taken the first two games by 86-77 and 102-93, and Detroit's defense had put the Bulls' fast break in neutral: The Bulls had failed to shoot better than 41 percent in either game. Jordan himself had averaged only 27 points, stubbornly going 17 for 43. No team defensed Jordan better than the Pistons, yet he refused to admit that they gave him a hard time, so he played into their hands by attacking the basket right where their collapsing defensive schemes were expecting him. The coaches would look on in exasperation as Jordan drove toward the basket -- "the citadel," assistant coach John Bach liked to call it -- like a lone infantryman attacking a fortified bunker. Too often there was no escape.
Although Detroit's so-called Jordan rules of defense were effective, the Bulls coaches also believed the Pistons had succeeded in pulling a great psychological scam on the referees. It had been a two-part plan. The first step was a series of selectively edited tapes, sent to the league a few years earlier, which purported to show bad fouls being called on defenders despite little contact with Jordan. The Pistons said they weren't even being allowed to defense him. "Ever since then, the foul calls started decreasing," Jordan noted, "and not only those against Detroit."
Step two was the public campaign. The Pistons advertised their "Jordan rules" as some secret defense that only they could deploy to stop Jordan. These secrets were merely a series of funneling defenses that channeled Jordan toward the crowded middle, but Detroit players and coaches talked about them as if they had been devised by the Pentagon. "You hear about them often enough -- and the referees bear it, too -- and you start to think they have something different," said Bach. "It has an effect and suddenly people think they aren't fouling Michael even when they are."
It only added to Jordan's frustration with Detroit.
At halftime of Game 2, with the Bulls trailing 53-38, Jordan walked into the quiet locker room, kicked over a chair, and yelled, "We're playing like a bunch of pussies!" Afterward, he refused to speak to reporters, boarded the bus, and sat in stony silence all the way home. He continued his silence -- other than a few sharp postgame statements -- for the next week. He would not comment on his teammates. "I'll let them stand up and take responsibility for themselves," he told a friend.
Jordan had really believed that the Bulls could defeat Detroit this time. Of course, there was no evidence to suggest it could happen, since the Pistons had knocked the Bulls out of the playoffs the previous two seasons and had taken fourteen of the last seventeen regular-season games between them. But hadn't there been similar odds in 1989 when the Bulls had faced Cleveland in the playoffs? The Cavaliers had won fifty-seven games that season to the Bulls' forty-seven, and they were 6-0 against the Bulls, even winning the last game of the regular season despite resting their starters while the Bulls played theirs. The Bulls' chances were as bleak as Chicago in February.
Jordan promised that the Bulls would win the Cleveland series anyway.
Playing point guard, Jordan averaged 39.8 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds in the five games. And with time expiring in Game 5, he hit a hanging jumper to give the Bulls a 1-point victory. The moment became known in Chicago sports history as "the shot," ranking with Jordan's other "shot" in the 1982 NCAA tournament, a twenty-foot jumper that gave North Carolina a last-second victory over Georgetown. It also sent the Cavaliers plummeting; over the next two seasons, they would not defeat the Bulls once.
The playoffs had become Jordan's stage. He was Bob Hope and Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and Frank Sinatra. His play transcended the game. It was a sweet melody received with a grand ovation. Others jumped as high and almost everyone slammed the ball, but Jordan did it with a style and a smile and a flash and a wink, and he did it best in the postseason.
"There's always been the feeling on this team," Bach had said after that Cavaliers series, "that if we got to the Finals, Michael would figure out some way to win it. He's the greatest competitor I've ever seen and then he goes to still another level in the big games."
It was true: Jordan's playoff performances had been Shakespearean sonnets, beautiful and timeless. And like Shakespeare, he was the best even though everyone said so. In just his second season in the league, after missing sixty-four games with a broken foot, Jordan demanded to return to the court despite warnings by doctors that he might exacerbate the injury to his foot. The Bulls, and even Jordan's advisers, said he should sit out the rest of the season. Jordan angrily accused the team of not wanting to make the playoffs so it could get a better draft pick. He was reluctantly allowed to return with only fifteen games remaining in the regular schedule. The Bulls made the playoffs, and in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics (who would go on to win the NBA title) Jordan scored 63 points. Larry Bird put it this way: "It must be God disguised as Michael Jordan."
In the 1988 playoffs against the Cavaliers, Jordan opened the series with 50- and 55-point games, the first time anyone had ever scored back-to-back 50s in the playoffs, to lead the team to victory and establish an all-time five-game-playoff-series scoring record of 45.2 points per game. Jordan had become perhaps the greatest scorer in the game's history. He would never equal Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game or his hundred-plus 50-point games, but by the end of 1990-91 season, Jordan had become the all-time NBA scoring average leader in the regular season, the playoffs, and the All-Star game. And he'd won his fifth straight scoring title, putting him behind only Chamberlain's seven.
And now, facing the Pistons in 1990, he was coming off a series against the 76ers in the second round of the playoffs that was unbelievable even by his own amazing standards. The Bulls won in five games as Jordan averaged 43 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.6 rebounds. He shot nearly 55 percent in 42.5 minutes per game. He drove and he dunked. He posted up and buried jumpers. He blocked shots and defended everyone from Charles Barkley to Johnny Dawkins.
"I never played four consecutive games like I did against Philly," he said of the first four, in which he led the team in scoring in thirteen of sixteen quarters.
And then the Bulls, storming and snorting, headed for Detroit to take on the Pistons. The two teams hailed from hard-edged, blue-collar towns, Chicago with its broad shoulders and meat-packing history, Detroit with its recession-prone auto industry. For some reason, though, Detroit's sports teams seemed to have a perpetual edge over Chicago's. In 1984 the Cubs finally won a piece of a baseball tide, but it was the Detroit Tigers who won the World Series, just as they had in 1945, the year of the Cubs' last World Series appearance. Many times Gordie Howe's Detroit Red Wings had come into the Stadium and ruined the dreams of Bobby Hull's Black Hawks. And now there were the Pistons. Detroit had made a habit of beating Chicago. It was a habit Michael Jordan was determined to break.
But no matter how hard he tried against the Pistons, he couldn't beat these guys. In earlier seasons, Jordan had some of his biggest scoring games against the Pistons: a 61-point mosaic in an overtime win in March 1987, an Easter Sunday mural on national TV in 1988 in which he'd scored 59 points. And Jordan was an artist, the ninety-four-by-fifty-foot basketball court being the canvas for his originals, signed with a flashing smile, a hanging tongue, and a powerful, twisting slam. Pistons coach Chuck Daly, a man who appreciated the arts, was not particularly enamored of Jordan's work, and after the 1988 game the Pistons instituted "the Jordan rules" and the campaign to allow what the Bulls believed was legalized assault on Michael Jordan.
The Pistons had two of the league's best man-to-man defenders, Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman, to carry out those assignments. Jordan grudgingly respected Dumars, with whom he'd become somewhat friendly at the 1990 All-Star game; Dumars was quiet and resolute, a gentlemanly professional. But Jordan didn't care much for Rodman's play. "He's a flopper," Jordan would say disdainfully. "He just falls down and tries to get the calls. That's not good defense." Rodman once "flopped" so effectively back in the 1988-89 season that Jordan drew six fouls i...

前言/序言

飞沙走石的王朝：探寻篮球史诗背后的汗水与荣耀 本书并非聚焦于某一个特定的赛季，亦非专门记录某位超级巨星的个人篇章。它是一部宏大叙事，旨在描绘一支伟大球队从默默无闻到铸就传奇的过程中，所经历的那些未被聚光灯完全照亮的、充满人性挣扎与团队协作的群像史诗。 我们的故事开始于一个篮球文化尚未完全成熟的年代，那时，芝加哥这座城市对世界篮球的统治力，还仅仅是一个遥远的梦想。我们不谈论那一次惊天动地的“最后之舞”，而是回溯到构建这支王者的基石时代——那些充满了青涩、挫折、以及对胜利近乎偏执的渴望的岁月。 第一部分：萌芽与阵痛——构建王朝的蓝图 篮球世界中，真正的伟大很少是凭空出现的。它需要远见卓识的管理层，需要一位能够洞察未来的教练，更需要一群愿意为了共同目标牺牲个人光环的斗士。 草根的崛起与选秀的抉择： 我们将深入探讨球队管理层在早期选秀中的微妙决策。这不是简单的“选对人”的故事，而是关于风险评估、对潜力无情的挖掘，以及在有限资源下最大化天赋回报的商业艺术。我们考察那些看似平庸的选秀，如何在新兴的体系中找到了最适合的生态位，成为未来王朝不可或缺的螺丝钉。那些在聚光灯之外默默训练、等待机会的边缘球员，他们如何通过不懈的努力，完成了从角色球员到关键先生的蜕变？ 教练哲学的碰撞与磨合： 强悍的体系需要强悍的领导者。本书将详细解析不同教练风格的迭代。从强调基础和纪律的奠基人，到那位后来定义了现代篮球战术的革新者，我们关注的不是他们最终的胜利，而是他们如何在中途遭受质疑、承受失败的重压时，坚持自己的篮球哲学。我们会剖析那些在训练场上爆发的激烈争论——那是关于战术理念的交锋，是关于如何将一群天赋异禀却个性张扬的年轻人拧成一股绳的艰难过程。这些冲突并非破坏，而是塑造，是打破旧有思维定势的催化剂。 环境的塑造：城市与球队的共生： 芝加哥这座城市，以其钢铁般的意志和永不言败的精神著称。本书试图捕捉这种城市精神如何渗透到球队的血液中。我们描绘那些在寒冷冬夜里，球馆里那些最忠诚的球迷，他们对球队的期待，成为了球员们必须背负的无形重担。我们探讨球队如何利用这种环境的压力，将其转化为激励人心的燃料，而非压垮人的重负。 第二部分：联盟的洗礼——从挑战者到统治者 在任何一个领域，想要登上顶峰，就必须先击败那些看似不可逾越的巨人。本书将重点叙述球队在崛起过程中，遭遇的那些“宿敌”——那些曾一度阻碍他们问鼎的强大对手。 宿敌间的心理战： 这不仅仅是球场上的战术较量，更是意志力的角力。我们还原了那些经典对决背后的心理博弈。每一场季后赛系列赛，都是对球队韧性的终极考验。球员们如何处理被对手的垃圾话激怒后，又如何迅速将情绪调整回冷静的执行层面？我们关注那些在关键时刻，因为压力过载而失误的瞬间，以及球队如何从这些失败中迅速学习、修正，并在下一次交锋中展现出惊人的复苏能力。 伤病与低谷的考验： 王朝的伟大之处，往往体现在他们如何度过至暗时刻。我们细致描绘了球队在遭遇核心球员重伤或团队低谷时，内部运作的真实写。谁站了出来填补空缺？年轻球员是如何在重压之下被迫快速成长的？管理层和教练组如何顶住外界要求“重建”的巨大舆论压力，坚持对现有班底的信任？这些低谷期的决策，往往比巅峰期的光芒更能定义一支球队的品格。 化学反应的炼金术： 真正的“化学反应”不是偶然发生的。它是通过无数次共同面对困境、分享胜利的喜悦与失败的痛苦而慢慢积累起来的。本书揭示了球员之间复杂的人际关系——友谊、竞争、乃至偶尔的摩擦，最终如何被塑造成一种超越个人友谊的、基于职业精神和共同目标的“战斗情谊”。我们探讨了核心球员如何学会容忍彼此的怪癖，如何理解对方在压力下的独特需求，最终形成那种难以被复制的场上默契。 第三部分：体系的传承与价值的延续 一个王朝的终结，往往伴随着核心人物的离去。但真正的“体系”并非依附于个人，而是可以被传承下去的文化。 角色的重新定义： 当一个时代结束，新的面孔必须登场。我们关注的是，球队如何在新老交替之际，成功地完成了角色的重新分配。老将们如何放下身段，成为新一代球员的导师，同时又如何接受自己职责的转变？新人们又如何在大佬的光芒下，找到属于自己的舞台，并成功地将自己的能量注入到这艘航船中？ 超越篮球的视野： 球队的成功不仅仅是体育成就，它也是一种商业和文化现象。本书将触及球队在场外如何运营，如何处理与赞助商、媒体的关系，以及如何在全球范围内推广自己的品牌。我们审视了球员们如何利用自己的影响力，去影响社会议题，使球队的影响力远远超出了比赛的胜负。 总而言之，这部作品旨在提供一个多维度的视角，去审视一支伟大球队的诞生、成长、辉煌与转型。它探索了天赋、纪律、运气、以及最重要的——选择的力量，是如何共同铸就了篮球史上最令人难忘的篇章。我们关注的是，在聚光灯熄灭后，支撑起这个庞大机器运转的、那些关于人性、奋斗与坚持的真实故事。

这本书对于理解“团队化学反应”这一抽象概念，提供了一个极佳的案例研究。它详细描绘了如何在拥有多个强大自我（strong personalities）的组合中，建立起一套有效的协作机制。作者并没有用简单的“团结一致”来敷衍了事，而是深入探讨了冲突是如何被管理、被导向建设性的方向，而不是毁灭性的内耗。比如，对于领导力定义的细微差别——谁在板凳上发号施令，谁在场上用眼神交流来决定战术走向——这些都被细致入微地捕捉了下来。它展示了一种微妙的平衡：你需要足够强大的个人能力来赢得比赛，但更需要一套超越个体自负的集体哲学才能赢得总冠军。这本书就像是一个内部观察报告，揭示了那些真正伟大的组织，是如何通过严格的纪律和共同的愿景，将一群拥有不同动机的精英，锻造成一个不可战胜的整体。读完之后，我对“管理”和“领导力”有了全新的、更具层次感的理解。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书简直是篮球迷的福音，它没有过多地去渲染那些已经人尽皆知的辉煌时刻，而是深入到赛季背后的复杂人性与团队动态中去。我记得最清楚的是关于更衣室气氛的描写，那种紧绷到几乎让人窒息的感觉，即便是隔着文字也能清晰地感受到。作者非常擅长捕捉那些微妙的权力博弈和球员之间难以言说的张力。比如，他们如何处理外界巨大的媒体压力，以及这种压力如何渗透到日常的训练和比赛准备中。书中对训练营初期那种试探与磨合的刻画，尤其到位，它展现了冠军之师是如何在胜利的重压下，既要保持极端的专注，又要处理好个人英雄主义与集体目标之间的矛盾。读起来完全不像是在看一本枯燥的体育纪实，更像是一部精心编排的室内剧，充满了高智商的对弈和情感的暗流涌动。那种对细节的执着，使得即便是对篮球战术不甚了解的读者，也能被故事中人物的挣扎和决心所深深吸引。每一次成功的背后，都有着不为人知的妥协和牺牲，这本书毫不留情地把这些都摊开在你面前。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

从文学性的角度来看，这本书的文本处理非常成熟和老练。作者的语言风格充满了老派新闻调查的严谨性，但又带有一种洞察世事的幽默感，虽然这份幽默往往是带着一丝苦涩的讽刺。它并非只是简单地罗列事实，而是通过巧妙的场景重构和对话引用，构建了一个立体且可信的世界观。你几乎可以从作者的文字中嗅到芝加哥九十年代特有的那种粗粝和坚韧的气息。它拒绝迎合那些期待简单、励志故事的读者，而是选择呈现一个更加复杂、充满灰色地带的现实。这种对真相的执着追求，让整本书的基调显得格外厚重且值得信赖。阅读过程中，我多次停下来，回味某些措辞精妙的段落，它们像一块块打磨过的宝石，折射出那个特定时代背景下，一群顶尖人才试图将不可能变为可能时的那种原始驱动力。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

我必须说，这本书在叙事节奏的把握上达到了一个令人惊叹的水平。它不是那种平铺直叙的流水账，而是充满了精心设计的起伏。某些章节的叙事节奏非常快，像是一场突然爆发的快速攻防转换，信息量爆炸，让人喘不过气来，紧紧抓住你对下一步发展的渴望。而另一些时候，叙事又会慢下来，像是在暂停时教练席上的深度交谈，聚焦于某个关键人物的内心独白或一次关键的赛后复盘。这种张弛有度的处理方式，使得阅读体验极为流畅和沉浸。我尤其欣赏作者在描绘关键比赛时的笔触，那种对肾上腺素飙升的场景的捕捉，精准而富有感染力。你仿佛能听到球鞋摩擦地板的尖锐声，感受到空气中弥漫的汗水和紧张感。它成功地将篮球比赛的“物理性”与“心理战”完美地融合在一起，让你深刻理解，赢得一场总决赛不仅仅是身体素质的比拼，更是意志力和心智的较量。对于任何追求深度非虚构作品的读者来说，这都是一次令人满足的阅读旅程。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书最让我震撼的，是它对“巨星”这个概念的解构。它没有神化任何一位主角，反而将他们还原成了有血有肉、充满缺陷的个体。那些在场上呼风唤雨的英雄，在场下也同样面临着如何平衡家庭、名誉与自我期望的困境。作者以一种近乎冷峻的客观性，去剖析了光环下的阴影。你看到的是一个团队在追求历史地位的过程中，不得不做出的那些艰难抉择，以及这些抉择对个人生活产生的深远影响。它探讨了“完美”背后的代价，以及“伟大”是否真的意味着牺牲掉所有“平凡”的权利。这种对人性深层次的挖掘，让这本书远远超越了体育传记的范畴，上升到了对现代精英文化中个体与集体关系的反思层面。我合上书本后，久久不能平静，思考的不再是哪个战术更有效，而是成为焦点人物所必须承受的巨大精神负荷。
