Chapter 154: I'm Sorry
When John Sely went to the hospital, he was seen by the media, and the news quickly spread by the media, and the Bulls also knew about it.
"Great!"
In the training hall of the Bulls headquarters, Jordan was in high spirits, waved his fist, and yelled at his teammates: "Win them tonight, and we will finish the Pistons in the G6 game at Auburn Hills Palace." ”
"Finish the Pistons."
The morale of the bulls skyrocketed.
Only Pippen didn't have that much confidence, because he was punched twice in the head the day before yesterday, and although there was no major problem, it still affected his state somewhat.
……
After the afternoon training, Zhou Quan and Catherine had dinner together in the restaurant of the United Center, and as soon as they left the restaurant, they were surrounded by a group of reporters, including a Japanese reporter.
For Zhou Quan, to be honest, the Japanese were surprised.
They can't believe that a Chinese man actually broke into the NBA, became the core of a team, and now led the team to a tie with the mighty Bulls, and performed well against Michael Jordan.
This makes them a little unacceptable, unconvinced, there are no Japanese to join the NBA, why should the Chinese do it?
But whether they are not convinced, or they can't accept it, Zhou Quan has gained a firm foothold in the NBA, and they have to accept it, and they have to accept it.
The Japanese reporter rushed to the front and said, "Zhou Quanjun, I'm Tokyo Shimbun reporter Kobayashi Inoshita......"
Zhou Quan glanced at Kobayashi Inoshita, there was no one in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, there were occasional Japanese reporters who appeared and didn't care.
But he does not intend to be interviewed by Japanese journalists, he does not represent the country, and there is no need to maintain any diplomatic etiquette.
Reaching out to block the microphone that Kobayashi Inoshita was reaching for, he said as he escorted Catherine forward, "Please get out of the way, it's not interview time." ”
"Iron Fist, can you still play in G4 tonight?" Another reporter caught up and asked.
"I want to, too." He said.
"Iron Fist, Sellie reimbursement, does the Pistons still have confidence in this series?" Another reporter asked.
"Even if there is no Sellly, even if Rodman is injured, our interior line is at most similar to that of the Bulls, then we can fight with them on the outside." He said.
"Aren't you not interviewed?"
When Kobayashi saw it, he hurriedly chased after him from behind and shouted: "Zhou Quanjun, I am Japanese, please be sure to accept my interview." ”
Zhou Quan has a nameless fire in his heart, the country is very poor now, and the international status is very low, do these devils want to ride on our heads again?
He stopped abruptly and turned around to stare at Kobayashi's well.
Kobayashi Inoshita was startled, but when he thought that he was Japanese, he immediately became strong, straightened his chest, and said to Zhou Quan: "I ......"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear you, and I don't want to see you in front of me again. Zhou Quan scolded sharply.
Xiao Lin was stunned, and other reporters looked at Xiao Lin Mine, which made him suddenly embarrassed, and he wanted to dig a hole and hide it.
"Let's go."
Zhou Quan pulled Catherine and left quickly.
"Iron Fist, wait for us, we're going to interview Miss Jones."
After the other reporters reacted, they followed one after another, only Kobayashi stood still.
He couldn't figure it out, how could Zhou Quan, a Chinese, dare to be so domineering and unreasonable in front of him? Why?
"Miss Jones, what work have you done in England?"
"Catherine, do you have any film offers in Hollywood at the moment?"
Catherine was pleasantly surprised, there were so many reporters interviewing her? This is a treatment she has not had in the United States for more than three months.
She and Zhou Quan dealt with it together, and asked the reporters to pose for photos, and those reporters left satisfied.
"Say, dear, will there be a chance to find me?" Catherine asked expectantly when only the two of them were there.
Zhou Quan knew that this girl still wanted to stay very much.
This is a very ambitious girl, and has the most moving looks, as long as she is given a chance, she should have a great chance to become a big star, this time back to the UK, he can be sure that this girl will come to Hollywood, definitely, because she must be unwilling.
He didn't know how to get the feeling that this girl would eventually break up with him, because, he couldn't provide what she needed, even if he became an All-Star and became a superstar, he still couldn't provide Catherine with the resources she wanted.
So, it's better to forget it, after all, love shouldn't be the most important thing for him and her now.
Escorted Catherine to the entrance, and after seeing her in, he turned around and headed for the visiting dressing room.
At this time, the scene of the United Center Arena was full of stars, and there were many Hollywood stars who came here to watch the East Showdown, but in the Auburn Hills Palace, the same East Showdown could not be seen.
As soon as Catherine entered, she saw several A-list stars in Hollywood.
"Catherine, who do you prefer for the love triangle between you and Iron Fist and Pippen?" When I saw him, a reporter from an entertainment reporter and a reporter from the media immediately ran over to interview him.
Catherine's little hand couldn't help pinching, and she swore that if she had her boyfriend's force value, she would definitely slap this reporter's face, just like Zhou beat Pippen's face.
"NO, there is no such thing as a love triangle, I only have one boyfriend, and he is what you call the Iron Fist. Mr. Pippen played brilliantly, but I didn't know him and didn't want to know him. Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, she responded with a smile.
Not far away, Larry Johnson was being interviewed by reporters.
"Larry, who do you want to support when you show up at the United Center today?" The journalist asked.
"I said I supported that guy with Iron Fist, do you believe me?" Larry Johnson said angrily.
"I heard that in the last regular season, Iron Fist beat you up on the court and then beat you off the court?" The reporter asked another question.
"Who did you listen to? We didn't have any more clashes off the pitch. ”
Larry Johnson glanced indignantly at the logo on the reporter's microphone, the Detroit Worker? Junk media!
"What the hell are you trying to ask?" He asked dissatisfied.
The reporter smiled and asked, "I heard that you are an amateur boxer, don't you want to have a private appointment with Iron Fist?" ”
"Has the news been exposed?"
Larry Johnson was a little surprised, but it shouldn't be, otherwise the reporter wouldn't have asked him that, and he hurriedly said: "I want to, but Iron Fist may not dare to agree." ”
"Why, that won you." The reporter sneered.
Larry Johnson said angrily: "He pushed me with his head, not with his fist, it's not in accordance with the rules, if we want to fight, it must be the rules of boxing." ”
"Larry, Iron Fist averaged 23 points per game in the first four series of the Eastern Conference finals, do you have anything to say about that?" The journalist asked another question.
Larry Johnson said disdainfully: "Have you ever had a 40% shooting percentage?" As some people say, with such a low hit rate, to whom, who can't get those points? ”
The reporter said proudly: "A total of 62 shots and 31 shots in four games, with a shooting rate of exactly 50%. ”
Larry Johnson's face froze, careless!
He immediately asked rhetorically, "So what is the shooting percentage for the entire playoffs?" ”
The reporter smiled: "So far, the shooting rate of 45.3% is not very high, but it is not low, and Jordan only had 43% in the last game." ”
Larry Johnson said disdainfully: "It's only 45 percent, which is far from the level of a good point guard, and he needs to shoot at least 50 percent to make me eligible for evaluation." ”
With that, he turned around and left.
"Iron Fist's shooting rate has really increased to 50%, what qualifications do you have to evaluate him?" The reporter said disdainfully.
……
At eight o'clock, they came off the bench and both sides also announced their starting lineups.
Pistons: Bedford, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumas, Zhou Quan
Bulls: Bill Carter White, Horres Grant, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, John Paxson
Speaking from the TNT commentary booth, Robert Giddah said, "The Assassins were given special treatment at the United Center, and there was a lot of booing. ”
'It doesn't affect him, it's the injury that affects him.' Ringer Wilson said.
Robert Gidda suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know if Pippen can play normally today, after all, I got two punches in the head." ”
"I've heard that Tekken's fists are very hard, and they are very famous in the NCAA, so Pippen should be affected to some extent."
Ringer Wilson couldn't help laughing, but said: "Now the public opinion is going to Michael, and it is very unfriendly to him, in fact, I think this time is the same as the Battle of Auburn Hills, he is just defending Pippen, and he has not done anything at all, is it wrong to stand up for his teammates?" ”
"So what do you think of Pippen's behavior of accosting his Iron Fist girlfriend in person?" Robert Giddah asked with interest.
Ringer Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said, "It was just a trivial matter, just a conversation, and they are not married yet, and Pippen's words are actually not wrong."
Of course, his behavior was a little reckless, and his girlfriend who soaked Iron Fist in front of him, Iron Fist couldn't bear it, and his reaction was normal.
I don't have a big opinion on it, it's just hormones and I want to put all their energy on the court, like Michael Jordan, that's the right attitude. ”
Robert Gidda pouted secretly, Michael Jordan did a lot of wasteful things off the court, but he was physically perverted and did not affect his state.
He asked again: "Ringer, Sailly is reimbursed, what do you think about the next series?" ”
Ringer Wilson immediately said excitedly: "Then there is no doubt that the Bulls will eliminate the Pistons by a score of 4-2."
You know, John Cely is still very important, defense, rebounding, without him, Rodman's state is not good, and the Pistons will collapse inside.
They lost their spirit and ambition last season, and this season they have barely recovered some of their sharpness under the help of Iron Fist, but there are too few young people in the team, and morale is difficult to last, and now that Sailly is injured, morale is likely to collapse. ”
Robert Giddah nodded, and didn't object, because it was indeed very likely.
At this time, some reporters were interviewing celebrities.
"Erwin, what do you think are the odds of the Bulls winning tonight?"
"Sailley's reimbursement has a lot of impact on the Pistons, Rodman's state is unstable, the Pistons' interior defense and rebounding are not as good as the regular season, and now Sailley can't play, and it will definitely decline again. I think at least eighty percent, or even ninety percent, Michael won't let this opportunity go. ”
"Patrick, do you think the East Final will hit a tie-break?"
"Oh, well, I think, probably impossible."
"Karim, when you were injured in the Finals, and then the rookie Magic stepped up and won the championship, and now the same center is reimbursed, do you think Iron Fist has the ability to step up?"
"Iron Fist, he's not the kind of rookie with a lot of talent, but we should have expectations for his future, and now it's a harsh attitude for him to turn the tide on Michael Jordan, and as a UCLA alumnus, I don't support that attitude."
At this time, ten starters from both teams arrived one after another.
There were a few reporters on each side who followed the filming, and TNT TV also had a camera to follow the Bulls, mainly to follow Jordan.
Jerry Claus arranged a team of security guards to maintain order here, for fear that the two sides would make trouble, mainly for fear that Jordan and them would be beaten.
"Camera Switch No. 2."
There are too many contradictions between the Bulls and the Pistons, and there are also many contradictions between Jordan and Zhou Quan, and the Pippen incident happened the day before yesterday, so TNT's live broadcast director felt that something might happen off the court, and immediately gave an order.
At this time, the scene in the player's tunnel was directly moved to the hanging screen, appearing in the eyes of more than 22,000 fans, and also in the eyes of 20 or 30 million people in the United States.
At this time, Zhou Quan walked past Jordan, walked over and stopped, half-turned to look at the latter and said, "Old boy, someone wrote a love letter to your wife, why don't you help deliver it?" It's unbelievable that you don't respect their freedom to love? ”
"Poof! Haha......"
Not only the Pistons, but also the Bulls didn't hold back, covered their mouths and turned around and laughed secretly.
"Oh!"
On the TNT commentary bench, Ringer Wilson covered his face, not wanting to watch Jordan's humiliation again.
Instead, Robert Gidda stared at the screen with relish, and said, "I'm actually very interested in the contents of that letter, and I'm willing to buy it for five hundred dollars and make its contents public." ”
"Shut up, Robert." Ringer Wilson hurriedly said.
"Haha......" Robert Giddah laughed.
“……”
Countless Bulls fans at the scene were stunned at first when they heard what Zhou Quan said to Jordan, and then felt very angry, which was an absolute humiliation to Michael.
"Shh
Huge boos immediately sounded, and countless insults came at Zhou Quan.
At the scene, Jordan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, his fists were clenched tightly, and his breath was like a cow.
At this time, the boos outside sounded, which distracted his attention, and taking this opportunity, he forcibly calmed down and said loudly: "Iron Fist, don't think about making small moves, you will lose the East Duel." ”
"You don't count the wins or losses of the East Final, otherwise why don't you sweep us?" Zhou Quan said coldly and stared at Pippen.
When Pippen saw it, he quickly hid around the corner.
"Iron Fist, don't make trouble, calm down."
A group of security guards also hurriedly came over and blocked Zhou Quan.
"Pi Er, weren't you very bold yesterday?" Zhou Quan shouted.
"I, I didn't do anything, Iron Fist, don't do anything on purpose." Pippen shouted hurriedly.
Zhou Quan shouted: "You dare to openly talk to my woman in front of me, now you should publicly apologize to me in front of reporters, otherwise there will be no security to protect you on the field." ”
Jordan said angrily: "Iron Fist, the matter has passed, you have already beaten him, what is it that you are still entangled in now?" ”
"Who told you it was over? You said it doesn't count. ”
Zhou Quan snorted coldly, and said sharply: "You let him apologize to me now, otherwise I will drag you all together and let the Trail Blazers win the championship." ”
"Damn Pi Er, do your best to make trouble for me." Jordan cursed.
He didn't do it before, in order to support Pippen this time, he made a fuss again, and he was annoying Pippen, so he asked Pippen to apologize and didn't have any psychological pressure on him.
However, now that there are TNT TV cameras there, and the fans outside just now have reacted, maybe it is going on a national live broadcast, as the leader of the team, he can't just make Pippen apologize, so he has to turn around and shout: "Scotty, you decide, whatever you do, I support you." ”
"Michael is amazing!"
"In the end, it was Michael who carried everything."
"Michael is tough enough."
"Scotty, learn from MJ, don't bow to that Iron Fist villain."
Jordan's words instantly sent Bulls fans high, and countless praises poured in.
At the scene, Pippen breathed a sigh of relief, and although he apologized aggrieved, Michael had been beaten by the Iron Fist and bowed his head to the Iron Fist, so it didn't matter, as long as he was not beaten in the future, after all, the Iron Fist always slapped his face, if he broke the face, how would he pick up the girl in the future?
That is, in front of reporters, it's a bit too embarrassing.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Be louder." Zhou Quan shouted.
"I'm sorry."
Pippen was startled and hurriedly shouted.
"If you dare to beat my woman's idea again, I'll blow up your dick." Zhou Quan scolded.
Pippen's legs were clamped, and the chill rushed from his back to the top of his head, and he felt the urge to urinate.
"Pippen apologizes, you softass!"
"It's too shameful, don't provoke people if you don't have the guts."
"He'll never be the boss, damn softass!"
Seeing this, countless Bulls fans became disappointed with Pippen.
"Shh
At this time, Zhou Quan appeared, and these fans hurriedly shushed again, their mouths were very busy.
