Thomas instantly lowered his head, and only said after a while: "But I'm not willing to retire with these bad reputations, and I don't want to be swept away by Jordan to retire."

You know, since the last time I was swept away, my place in history has plummeted, and the media has not evaluated me as well as before.

A point guard who was swept by Jordan in the Eastern Conference finals, who do you think will think of me in the all-time point guard rankings in the future? I could have been in the top three, but now I'm afraid I won't be in the top 10. ”

Ranbir was so angry that he scolded: "False name, it's all false name, you guy, bow to that rookie for the sake of false name, you will be laughed at by the whole league." Shet, I don't want to see you anymore, get out of here! ”

Thomas said angrily: "This is my home, are you brainbroken?" It's the one who should roll. ”

Ranbir was stunned, so angry that he immediately got up and walked out.

Thomas didn't stay any longer, and said coldly in the back: "Bill, that kid went to the ward to find me that day, I think he was actually showing an attitude, and he should also want to reconcile." ”

"What did you say?"

Ranbier stopped and turned around in surprise, shook his head and said, "Impossible, that kid has the advantage in his hands, why does he need to reconcile?" ”

Thomas sneered a few times and said: "Haven't you noticed during this time, he is under a lot of pressure in Detroit, plus tonight's game, the opening six consecutive defeats, many fans are accusing him, do you think he needs to reconcile?" ”

"When you say that, it seems really possible."

Ranbir said thoughtfully, "So, Isaiah, you can pinch him, and there is no need to bow to him." ”

Thomas said angrily: "Pinch him, you also said that he has an advantage in hand, everyone supports him, how can I handle it?" He's afraid he'll throw that damn glove at me again. And who said I was going to bow to him? That's what you think.

He wants to reconcile, I want to reconcile, as long as we don't have any more disputes, then in the eyes of the media and fans, it is reconciliation. ”

"And your team status?" Ranbir asked.

"Status?"

Thomas first smiled bitterly, but then said coldly: "Jo Dumas won't fight with me, that kid is still too young, especially if he can't attack, why should he fight with me?" As long as I go back, I'm still the core of the court, and the starting point guard is definitely mine. ”

Ranbir sneered: "The core and starting position on the field are a fart, back in the locker room, you still have to hold your tail, otherwise that rookie is not easy to mess with." ”

Thomas gasped, but couldn't refute it.

……

In the No. 2 News Hall of the United Center Arena, Zhou Quan sat with Joe Dumas and Rodman.

The signature star Smile Assassin was not there, and at the behest of the management, Chuck Daly pushed him out and gave him enough treatment as a star.

This is actually the official request of the alliance to give Zhou Quan better treatment to eliminate the bad impact of the last incident.

It was his first time facing the media at the Pistons, but he had a lot of experience at UCLA, and he was unhurried and comfortable with it.

"Iron Fist, can you tell us more about the last locker room violence?" A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.

He smiled mildly: "It's already in the past, and it doesn't make much sense to mention it again." Actually, similar things are very common in the other big three leagues, and I think the NBA and MLB are a little bit better, not that serious.

I don't think young people who want to join the NBA need to worry too much, there is only one Ranbir, waiting for you, maybe there is a prank joke, but definitely not like me.

And I have a word to Shaq O'Neal: Shaq, I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for supporting me! And I hope you don't waste your talent, I know your talent is good enough to rule the league in the future, so I hope to see you in next year's draft. ”

McCloskey, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help but nod secretly, and Zhou Quan's answer made him very happy.

The league has been under a lot of pressure lately, and the Pistons have been under a lot of pressure from the league, and this answer can turn the media's attention to other leagues, especially the NFL, which is a hundred times more violent than the NBA.

This big-picture answer is good for the team and good for the league, and it's a high-emotional answer, a hundred times stronger than an answer that is obsessed with personal grievances.

"Iron Fist, now that the Pistons have lost six in a row, are you looking forward to the return of the Smiling Assassin?" A reporter from the Detroit Sports News asked.

Zhou Quan looked at the reporter with a smile, he knew that the media in Detroit didn't like him very much now, after all, Thomas's influence in that city was too great.

After a moment's thought, he said: "No matter what happens, he and I still belong to the same team, and now the squad is not complete, for the sake of the team, of course I look forward to his return. ”

"Will you reconcile with him?" The journalist asked.

Putting away his usual gentle smile, Zhou Quan adjusted his expression to a solemn state, and said righteously: "If the team needs it, I can." ”

"Thank you!"

The reporter laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a fan of the Smiling Assassin and knows that Thomas is in a very bad situation now, and if Iron Fist is unwilling to reconcile, then under great pressure, Thomas is likely to be forced to retire in disgrace like Ranbir, and end his career in a hurry with a very failed and very embarrassed attitude, with a bad reputation on his back.

In the corner, McCloskey and Chuck Daley both laughed.

"Jack, Zhou is a very knowledgeable person, very generous, able to think about the big picture, natural leadership temperament, Thomas they really had a bad brain that day and did a stupid thing." Daley whispered.

McCloskey nodded: "If Thomas and Zhou reconcile, our strength will recover somewhat, although there is less Ranbier, but the strength of the number one position is stronger." ”

"Dennis, you cut 20 points and 15 rebounds today, the team's top scorer in the game, the best in the game, what made you burst out with strong scoring ability and play a superstar performance?" A reporter asked.

The grinning Rodman shook his head and said, "I just like to grab rebounds, but that doesn't mean I don't have offensive ability, and my superstar performance tonight was proof of that." ”

Jo Dumas next to him pouted, the balls given to you by Iron Fist are fed directly to your mouth, you just need to put the ball in the basket.

After the press conference, the Pistons left for Miami overnight, where they will face the Heat tomorrow night.

Before getting on the plane, Joe Dumas made a phone call to Thomas, who was relieved that his predicament had taken a turn for the better.

On the plane, the atmosphere of the Pistons was good, from the management to the players, they were in a good mood.

Jo Dumas revealed Zhou Quan's willingness to reconcile to everyone, and John Sely and Mark Aguirre were very happy.

Zhou Quan sat in the front seat, sitting with Jo Dumas, looking at his system.

The mission reward has been obtained, and now the prediction has become 73.

"Zhou, aren't you worried that Isaiah will come back and take your starting spot?" Jo Dumas asked curiously.

Zhou Quan smiled, tilted his head to look at the other party and said: "There is competition and pressure to make progress, from the big country to the small individual." ”

Jo Dumas nodded understandingly, what is the pressure to improve, in his opinion, this is aggressiveness, Iron Fist is as aggressive as Thomas and Jordan.
