At this time, Zhou Quan was being interviewed by TNT TV after the game.

In addition to TNT reporters and videographers, there was also a group of reporters, three layers inside and three layers outside, who surrounded him.

"Congratulations, Iron Fist, 3-1 to get the Finals match point, there is no history of being overturned in the history of the league." The TNT reporter said with a smile.

"Thank you, we're definitely going to keep this history going, and there will be no surprises." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

The reporters laughed, and the TNT reporter continued: "In addition, you have 21 assists in the Finals, equaling the record of Magic Johnson, what do you want to say about it now?" ”

"I know this record, after all, I'm a point guard like him, and I'm most concerned about point guard records."

Zhou Quan nodded happily and said, "I also hope to be as great as him and become a symbol of the times, this is what I want to say." ”

The reporter seemed to be a fan of Zhou Quan, and said excitedly: "Iron Fist King, since you won the WBC World Professional Heavyweight Championship, you have been a symbol of this era. ”

"It's not enough, it's not enough." Zhou Quan shook his head and smiled.

He had a dream that he had never said to anyone, and that was to be a double king.

The outside world said that he straddled the two worlds of boxing and basketball, and the NBA championship and the world boxing championship title were all in hand, and he was already a double king, but the real king, he thought that he had not completed any of them.

NBA, generally speaking, three consecutive championships are called dynasties, and dynasties show absolute dominance over the entire league, and there is no dynasty in hand, what qualifications do you have to be crowned king?

Professional boxing, how can just one WBC world title qualify for a king?

The world's four major boxing organizations plus IBF, a total of five top and first-class world professional boxing organizations, the five world titles are gathered, and the heavyweight of the world's five boxing organizations is unified, and he is the real king.

What he wants is a three-time NBA champion, a professional boxing heavyweight champion to complete the unification battle, and such a double champion.

The home team's locker room is really like a dead person, and the atmosphere is so heavy that it is devastating and very depressing.

Phil Jackson didn't say a word, leaning against the wall by the door, looking up at the ceiling, his eyes unfocused, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jordan, sitting in front of the first closet by the door, covered his face with a white towel and leaning back in his chair, gasping like a beast.

In the entire locker room, only his gasping sound was the clearest, and the others even seemed to be cautious about wheezing, for fear of attracting his attention.

Outside the door, the owner Jerry Rainsdorf's face was not too good-looking, and he didn't come in, when Jordan was angry, he wouldn't even give him face, he was thinking about the problem, what should the Bulls do next?

Kevin Willis is leaving, and the agent has informed the team.

Pippen is messing with his contract again and wants a raise, and this is the third time, and he's already annoyed this guy.

Jordan still has two years left on his contract, and in order to win a championship and compete with Iron Fist, he will definitely force the team to strengthen and increase his big investment.

What he needs to think about most now is how to deal with Jordan and what the team will do in the future.

Thinking of this, he thought of Jerry Krauss, an old fellow who had been fired from him.

In fact, he never wanted to fire Klaus, but under pressure from Jordan, he could only choose to fire Klaus.

After a season, he felt that Phil Jackson couldn't help him in the general manager position, and he now wanted Jerry Claus back.

But with the poor relationship between Michael Jordan and Klaus, the idea was difficult to realize.

In the locker room, Jordan moved, wiped his face with a towel, and then pulled it down, his actions made the atmosphere of the whole locker room relaxed, but still no one dared to speak.

No one knew what Jordan was thinking at this time, and perhaps everyone in the locker room was waiting for a thunderstorm that was sure to come.

It's just that no, Jordan then went into the bathroom, everyone looked at each other, what happened to Michael today, he didn't scold us?

They even had a sense of euphoria, including Pippen.

Only Phil Jackson feels wrong, such a Jordan makes him feel very strange, maybe, what will change?

He didn't know what the boss was thinking now, Reinsdorf didn't talk to him just now, and the attitude of the boss and Jordan made him feel completely out of control about what was going on.

In the home team's locker room, although they got the match point, under the control of Zhou Quan, they didn't celebrate too much, and soon finished taking a shower, Zhou Quan went to the press conference, and the others were interviewed in the locker room.

"Iron Fist, do you want to win on the road or at home?" The first to ask a question was a reporter from the Seattle Times, who asked excitedly.

This question made many local reporters unhappy, but supersonic speed is in the hands of the big trend, and they are helpless, and they lack the confidence to refute.

"Home field, of course." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"So the next game is away, do we have a chance to celebrate the championship away from home?" The reporter asked again.

'Possibly, we don't deliberately try to win at home. Zhou Quan said with a smile.

The next question was asked by a reporter from the New York Times, who asked: "Iron Fist, this year is the Atlanta Olympics, you participated in the World Championships the year before last, you should participate in the Olympics this year, right?" ”

"Of course."

"So what are your goals at the Olympics?" The reporter asked.

"In '94 we were fourth, and this Olympics, we are trying to finish in the top three and challenge for medals." Zhou Quan said very directly.

"Do you think it is possible for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve this goal?" The reporter asked again.

'That's our goal, we're going to do everything we can to get there, and I think we have the quality to get there.' Zhou Quan said.

The next question was asked by a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, who asked: "Iron Fist, the Olympics are coming, starting on July 19th, so will your title defense be held before or after the Olympics?" Who is the opponent? ”

Zhou Quan didn't expect it to be a question that had nothing to do with the finals, but he still replied: "Time is too short, we have already discussed with the WBC and my opponents, and the defending title will be placed after the Olympics."

As for who the opponent is, sorry, the information about the title defense, I have already said, and it will not be announced before the end of the finals.

Okay, now it's the Finals, and I hope the next questions are some of the Finals related, the NBA. ”

"Iron Fist, I heard you're getting married?" The next reporter to ask a question asked.

It's another issue that has nothing to do with the NBA, you guys discussed it, right? He smiled helplessly: "Yes, after playing in the finals, I will get married when I return to China." ”

"Congratulations!"

Domestic reporters took the lead, and a large group of reporters immediately sent congratulations.

On the other hand, at the Bulls' press conference, the atmosphere was not very good.

Jordan would rather be fined money and did not attend the press conference, only Pippen attended.

"Phil Jackson, 1-3 down, do you think the team still has a chance to turn the tables?" A reporter from the Chicago Daily asked.

Phil Jackson's face was gloomy and he replied officially, "Anything can happen." ”

"If you lose this Finals, will you step down as head coach?" The reporter asked again.

Phil Jackson felt a sense of sadness hit his heart, after so many years with the Bulls and three championships, the local media couldn't wait to get him to resign?

He thought about it, now the relationship with Jordan is already very bad, and the relationship with Pippen is even worse, the boss may not support him anymore, and the media does not want to see him, just leave, with his qualifications, it is not that there is nowhere to go.

"My decision will be announced after the finals." He said.

"Oh!"

The reporters below were surprised.

After all, local reporters are only a minority, and most foreign reporters are very surprised, will the Bulls let go of the champion coach with the triple crown in hand?

is a local reporter, only a few hope that Phil Jackson will resign, and more do not want him to leave, after all, he left, who will take over, and the future record, this is unknown, and no one can guarantee that he will do better than Phil Jackson.

"Jerry, do you want Phil Jackson to leave?"

The next question was asked by a reporter from the Chicago Sports Newspaper, who didn't want Jackson to leave, so he threw the question to his boss.

Jerry Rainsdorf hesitated, glanced at Phil Jackson next to him, and said: "I hope the team is stable, although the finals are not good now, but we reached the finals after all, which is a success for us."

Against a superstar like Tekken, against a team like SuperSonics, who can guarantee that they will win? ”

"Mr. Reth Sdorf, you mean, you don't want the team to disintegrate, you don't want the Bulls to rebuild?" The next reporter to ask a question asked.

"Of course." Reinsdorf said.

"Scotty, what about you, are you interested in leaving the Bulls?" The next reporter asked.

"I don't know." Pippen is a little indifferent.

He couldn't say explicitly that if the Bulls didn't give him a raise, he was ready to leave.

He doesn't have Jordan's paranoia about the championship as his life, nor does he have the paranoia of honoring as his life, for a poor boy like him who was born in the slums, money is the most important thing, and love can't be electric.

After the press conference, Jerry Rainsdorf made a phone call to Jerry Krauss.

The two have also been colleagues and friends for many years, and he actually trusts Klaus very much, and after greeting him, he asked directly: "Jerry, how do you think the Bulls should develop in the future?" ”

Jerry Krauss has been off for a year and has been a bit quiet lately, saying, "Jerry, I've been keeping an eye on the Bulls, this team can still sustain it for now, Jordan and Pippen can still play, and at least maintain a championship-level strength for one or two seasons." ”

"You don't think you need to rebuild?"

Reinsdorf also didn't want to enter the rebuilding period now, and was a little happy.

Jerry Kraus said, "Jerry, I want to know, what's your next goal?" Will you continue to pursue the championship, or will you maintain the current market? ”

Reinsdorf was silent for five seconds before he said: "Sustaining the market is definitely one of the goals, and if this squad doesn't need to be more invested, the championship is also the goal." ”

"If we keep chasing a championship, the Bulls have a chance to keep Jordan, but the roster needs to be strengthened, and we need to keep investing," Jerry Claus said.

Moreover, Jerry, although Jordan still has very strong strength, he can beat anyone in the league except Iron Fist, but the current active number one is indeed Iron Fist.

If you want to snatch back the championship from the hands of the iron fist, the Bulls must vigorously strengthen the interior offense and defense, as well as rebounding, if these three abilities cannot be supplemented, it will be very difficult.

I have a suggestion here, Rodman's contract is over, go get him, so we can strengthen the rebounding and interior defense, and we can greatly weaken the SuperSonics. ”

"Not bad, not bad."

Reinsdorf praised repeatedly, but suddenly thought of Rodman's age, and said worriedly: "But Jerry, he is 35 years old, and he will be 36 years old next season, how long can he maintain his condition?" I heard that he wanted a long-term contract. ”

"After Kevin Willis was seriously injured, you were all willing to bet, why didn't you dare to bet on Rodman?" Jerry Kraus said.

Rainsdorf was a little embarrassed, Klaus was still dissatisfied with him, and deliberately scolded him.

Jerry Kraus said: "Rodman has been following Iron Fist since the Pistons, Iron Fist is used to his presence, and with Rodman's presence, he doesn't have to worry about interior defense and rebounding, and getting him away from Iron Fist will definitely cause a lot of damage to Iron Fist and the SuperSonics."

Believe me, Jerry, Rodman is not in bad shape right now, you know that in the first four Finals, he averaged 14.6 rebounds per game, why the Bulls lost to the SuperSonics, his rebounding was an important factor. ”

Jerry Rainsdorf nodded, he felt that if the supersonic did not have a big bug, he might not be able to beat his own bull.

"Okay, then I'll let ...... Uh, Jerry? ”

He was originally going to say that Phil Jackson should contact Rodman's agent, but he realized that the matter had not been resolved.

"Jerry, what do you want to say?" Klaus asked.

Rainsdorf hesitated for a moment and said: "Now Michael has a conflict with Phil Jackson, because of the loss, Michael no longer trusts Jackson so much, if he resigns, Jerry, will you come back?" ”

"Would Jordan like to see me back? I don't want to see him scold me in front of so many people. Klaus's voice grew a little cold.

Rainsdorf shook his head helplessly, Jordan's temper is indeed terrible, if it is replaced by an iron fist?

"How is that possible?"

He shook his head, Michael Jordan is already a symbol of Chicago, God in the hearts of Bulls fans, he thinks that even an iron fist cannot replace Michael's position in the hearts of Chicagoans.

"So, Jerry, may I take a chance to test Michael's attitude?" He said.

"To be honest, Jerry, I've already received offers from several teams, including the Mavericks, the Warriors, the Knicks, and I don't necessarily have to come back to the Bulls." Klaus said reservedly.

"Jerry, give me a chance, you know, I didn't want to leave last year. And I know you don't want to leave the Bulls, leave Chicago, stay and help me. Reinsdorf busy.

"Alright, old man, I hope Jordan can accommodate me."

Klaus had been in Chicago for so many years, and his home was here, and he didn't want to leave too much, so he softened his attitude.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it. I want you to come back and continue in the general manager role, with Phil Jackson just as his head coach. Reinsdorf said happily.
