Chapter 73: The Battle of Auburn Hills

Zhou Quan ended the live interview and said goodbye to the fans with his teammates.

The reaction from the fans to him was enthusiastic, and although he didn't fight the Bulls tonight because of the Assassin's injury, his performance later on was recognized by the Pistons fans.

Back in the locker room, he asked about John Sely and Thomas' injuries, which were mixed.

Sailly has seven stitches on his face, no problem, will not miss the next game, can play with an injury, but Thomas is serious, his bones are fine, but he has a strain in the back and will be out for at least a month.

Moreover, Thomas's injury problem is serious, and even if the injury is good, it is likely to affect his form and accelerate the aging of his career.

Warner Walker smiled: "We still earned, Paxson broke two ribs, Grant and Cartwhite must also be injured, BJ should be fine, they are three major injuries, we are one." ”

Assassin Thomas, lying on the massage table, reminded: "Iron Fist, we are going to their home stadium on the 24th, you guys be careful. ”

"Don't worry." Zhou Quan nodded.

The Pistons have played the Bulls twice this season and have three regular-season games waiting for them, and they are both in the Eastern Conference Central Division, playing five or six regular season games a season, and five games this season.

Chuck Daly didn't do a post-match summary and let the players take a shower.

Zhou Quan stood under the head of the shower, opened the system and took a look, the speed has been increased to level 90, which should have reached the first-class level.

He took a look at his own data and found that some of the data should have improved.

Because there is too much data, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all, so I don't know what day it was improved.

The breakthrough of level 82 has been increased to level 83, and the six breakthrough techniques have generally been improved by one level.

The attack of level 75 has been increased to level 76, and the attack is mainly the raised basket, and the previous basket technique is level 70, and now it is level 72.

The basic skills of shooting have also been improved by one level, and now it is level 86, and the jump shot in shooting technology has been improved by one level, and it is now also level 86.

There are also steals that have been increased from level 80 to level 82, and game experience has been increased from level 60 to level 65.

In addition, his playmaking skills have been improved from 85 to 86, which is the most critical for him because he is a point guard.

"Hurt so many people tonight, I wonder how the alliance will react tomorrow?"

"Whatever, we didn't fight, they were all actions within the rules."

"Yes, what Jordan said, it wasn't intentional, the rules don't object, we can do it."

Rodman, who was also taking a shower next to him, talked nonsense.

"Alliance?"

Zhou Quan thought about it, but he couldn't care about it anyway, he didn't bother to think about it.

An hour later, the Bulls and Pistons' postgame press conference began.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan didn't come, Pippen came alone.

"Scotty, what about Michael Jordan?" A reporter asked.

"He's having a bit of a physical problem." Pippen explained.

"Let's go, let's go to the locker room." A reporter shouted.

At this moment, many reporters immediately ran out of the press conference hall.

Pippen was so angry that his face turned pale, isn't my second skin a person, and I'm also an all-star, what are you running? Going to Tim Jordan's black ass? He's long gone.

"Scotty, may I ask why Michael Jordan said before the game today that he would retract his words of praise for Iron Fist, and also said that he would cut off 50+ on Iron Fist's head, what happened?" A reporter asked at this time.

Pippen said without thinking, "Because Iron Fist burned his suit with a cigar and used him as an ashtray, he was angry." ”

"Oh!"

The reporters in the audience let out a voice of surprise.

"Please tell us more about the process." The reporter immediately asked.

"Nothing ......"

Pippen knew that he had said the wrong thing, but fortunately he didn't say anything about Jordan kneeling in front of the Iron Fist, and quickly changed the subject.

But the media reporter did not give up and continued to ask, and the situation in his stomach could only be taken out little by little, except for the details of Jordan's kneeling at the end, the rest were taken out.

On the Pistons' side, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumas participated.

"Iron Fist, the postman deliberately elbowed you that time, and you immediately fought back violently, why didn't you choose to fight back violently this time?" A reporter asked.

"Michael Jordan wants to play the rules, of course I have to play the rules with him, this is called reciprocal reaction." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"So what will you do against the other opponents in the future?" A reporter asked.

The smile on Zhou Quan's face paused, and he said seriously: "Life safety is the most important thing, we can react strongly on the field, and even cause injury to the opponent can be allowed, but we should not completely ignore or directly endanger the life safety of the opponent subjectively."

Grant knees Thomas for the layup, I think he subjectively completely ignored Thomas's safety, so he didn't have any power at all when he rushed up, which is not right, he even deliberately hit Thomas, and even used his knee.

But I can guarantee that apart from the Bulls, other opponents will not enjoy the intensity of tonight's game, and the safety of the opponent's life will not be a part of our neglect, and we are not the Chicago Bulls who have no bottom line for the sake of victory. ”

On the 20th, countless media outlets across the United States focused their firepower to report on the battle between the Pistons and the Bulls last night.

"Battle of Auburn Hills."

The New York Times used the headline, saying: "Taken together, the tragic battle that left six wounded and four seriously wounded began with the Cobra Horace Grant's complete disregard for Isaiah Thomas's life, and Michael Jordan's disregard for Thomas's life infuriated Iron Fist, and then the battle began." ”

"Attaching importance to the life safety of our opponents should be our moral bottom line!"

The Washington Post used the headline, saying: "Iron Fist personally confirmed that when Grant pushed Thomas with his knee, Michael Jordan said to him, 'He didn't mean it, it was a normal physical confrontation, it was a movement that followed the rules', Iron Fist disagreed, he believes that the life of the opponent should not be completely ignored for the sake of an attack or a defense." ”

"Jordan said it was a move that was allowed by the rules, but the act of ignoring the safety of the opponent's life should be condemned." Detroit Worker Daily.

"Iron Fist has seriously injured Carter White and John Paxson in a row, causing BJ to go down with injuries, he is the biggest villain in this league, the most disgusting bad boy, he should be expelled from the league and let him get back to the rink." Chicago Daily News.

"Congratulations to the NBA league, congratulations to Michael Jordan, the Bad Boys have come back to life, and they have the toughest new leader."

"Ashtray, Michael Jordan's new nickname." Detroit Sports News.

"A new Bad Boy Legion is born." Los Angeles Daily News.

"The gambling king Michael Jordan only wants to win, and whether the opponent is dead or alive is not in his consideration." Philadelphia Daily News.

"The Bulls activate the Bad Boy Army, and the East will usher in the most fierce competition." Houston Chronicle.
