In the hotel where the bull was staying, in a café, Jordan was chatting with Barkley, Big Dream, Ewing and a group of others.

"Michael, this championship is secure. That guy with Iron Fist is so rampant, you have to teach him a good lesson this time. Big Dream said.

"I really don't understand why the tens of thousands of black brothers in New York are willing to do any kind of demonstration for the iron fist, and they also smashed the league headquarters, this time the league lost too much, I heard that NBC has stopped the negotiation of TV broadcast contracts." Barkley shook his head.

Ewing said: "Who made the ratings of the G3 battle drop so much? More than half of them are down, and it's not surprising that NBC has suspended negotiations. ”

His words made Jordan a little black-faced.

"Fortunately, it was only one day." Big Dream is glad to be authentic.

Jordan said with a complicated expression: "Anti-racism, that idiot Hughes Blake said a stupid thing and made Iron Fist turn over." ”

"It's all two to one, can you still make him turn the tables?"

Barkley said with envy and expectation: "Michael, we'll come back next season." ”

"Charles, are you really sure you're joining the Bulls?"

Patrick Ewing's face is not good-looking, Barkley is gone to the Bulls, and the Knicks will have a harder time coming out in the East.

Barkley said embarrassedly: "I can't bear this body now, what should I do?" ”

Ewing snorted and stopped talking.

Jordan glanced at the silent big dream, but it's a pity that this guy doesn't accept the base salary, otherwise he is ten times stronger than Barkley.

He couldn't help but ask, "Hakim, have you decided where you're going?" ”

Da Meng said helplessly: "I originally wanted to join forces with the postman, and I contacted him, he should go to the Lakers and join forces with O'Neal, Jerry West has found him." ”

"What?"

Jordan's face changed.

"What then?"

Barkley panicked, the two animals of the big shark and the postman teamed up, plus the Lakers' lineup is not bad, even if the Bulls add him, they may not be able to do it!

Jordan made up his mind and didn't think about the news anymore, the most important thing for him now is to win the Finals.

……

At noon, Zhou Quan drove to the headquarters.

As he passed by the newly built gymnasium, he stopped to take a look, but did not get out of the car.

The new building has basically been renovated, and there are some small works inside, and it will definitely be ready to use next season as scheduled.

He's looking forward to playing at the new stadium next season, but this one really started to think about Philippe's suggestion.

In the afternoon, outside the Seattle Center Stadium, more and more fans came from the city and beyond, and a sea of people gradually formed.

In the evening, the old Central Gymnasium finally comes alive and becomes the brightest area in the city center.

After dinner, more than a dozen cars arranged by Zeng Lixi set off from the villa and rushed to the central gymnasium.

Zhou Quan had dinner in a restaurant in the central gymnasium, went back to the locker room with his teammates, and happened to meet Jordan and Pippen and others in a corridor, and also went back to the locker room after dinner.

Zhou Quan glanced at Pippen, who swooped and hid behind Jordan, obviously taller than Jordan, but hid tightly.

"Huh!"

Zhou Quan sneered twice, and then scolded: "Pippen, you want to see me banned for life so much? You idiot, I thought you had changed into a white skin, but no, you are still black. ”

Pippen didn't dare to squeak, and Zhou Quan continued to scold: "What, you waste was elected to the 50th National Congress, hooked up with Madonna, and gave you the courage to scold me?" ”

Jordan had to stand up and say, "Iron Fist, you also scolded him, this matter is over, right?" ”

Zhou Quan pointed at Pippen and scolded: "Idiot, in the United States, you are also one who is discriminated against." ”

Pippen's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Jordan saw Pippen being scolded, and his face was not good-looking, he saw Lightner, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Iron Fist, are there racists around you?" ”

"Who?"

Zhou Quan was stunned, and followed Jordan's line of sight to see Lightner.

Lightner suddenly scolded angrily: "Michael Jordan, what kind of bullshit are you putting on? I'm a villain, but absolutely not racist. ”

Jordan sneered and said, "Don't take me for a fool, you are." We're teammates on the Dream Team, and when you played in the NCAA, there were a lot of racist remarks, and there was a lot of coverage in the media. ”

"I'm not, you're framing me."

Glancing at Zhou Quan, whose face was not very good, Lightner said angrily.

"Enough! Shut up for me. Zhou Quan shouted angrily.

He was so angry that even Jordan immediately closed his mouth, and Lightner didn't dare to say anything, only staring at Jordan with vicious eyes.

"Let's go."

Zhou Quan ignored Jordan and them, turned around and left.

"Michael, maybe they'll have infighting, and our chance has come." After Zhou Quan and the others left, Pippen said excitedly.

A hint of excitement flashed in Jordan's eyes, but he said, "Scotty, think about it when you talk in the future, don't get angry."

This time the incident was very big, tens of thousands of people demonstrated, the league headquarters was smashed, the league's reputation was damaged even more, I heard that there were hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, if the NBA is a listed company, this time the stock price is afraid that it will be cut in half. ”

Anyway, Zhou Quan returned to the locker room, and as soon as he entered the door, Lightner hurriedly said: "Iron Fist, don't believe Jordan's bastard, I'm not." ”

"Then why did he say you were? There's no way he's going to tell those clumsy lies in front of me, it's too easy to debunk. Zhou Quan asked coldly.

Lightner suddenly became furious: "If I say no, it's not, he's doing evil, you don't believe me, come and beat me?" ”

Hawkins said at this time: "Christine was very famous in the NCAA, had a bad temper, often cursed, I heard that even teammates scolded, maybe did scold some excessive words, and then was exposed by the media. ”

"That's it, the shit media is always targeting me." Lightner said angrily.

Sam Perkins then said: "Iron Fist, he doesn't seem to have done that in the team this season. ”

"Let's leave it at that."

At this time, Zhou Quan didn't want to be infighting, and after looking at his teammates, he said: "In my team, racial discrimination is never allowed, whoever wants to do this, get out of the team." ”

"I didn't." Lightner said irritablely.

"Christine, I'll believe you first, and if you're not, I'll apologize to you later." Zhou Quan said after calming down.

"Maybe it's Jordan doing the bad." Schramf said.

Zhou Quan's eyes moved, this possibility is also there, but Leitner should have had a tendency or history of racism before, this is most likely true, whether there is it now, it should not be very strong, at least it was not shown within the team, otherwise he would have known it a long time ago.

This change in Leitner should be related to his achievements after entering the league.

When he was in the NCAA, he even pressed O'Neal by the head, and he was arrogant, but now he doesn't mix well in the league, so he keeps a low profile.

But the previous events had nothing to do with him.

……

The game was played at half past eight, at half past six, the fans entered, and by seven o'clock, the central gymnasium was full.

There were a lot of stars and NBA stars, as well as Seattle's richest people, as well as Washington Governor Hank Bians, seven or eight state legislators, Seattle Mayor Yorks Anderson, and several city councilors.

"The supersonic management went too far, we sat in the fourth row, and both rookies sat in front of us, and we paid the same three thousand dollars."

Barkley looked at Kobe Bryant and Iverson in the front row and said unhappily.

Reggie Miller also sat in the third row in front of him, then turned around and said: "Sorry, this is the home of Iron Fist, our tickets were arranged by him, and we don't have to spend a penny." ”

Barkley's face stiffened, and he snorted coldly: "What are you proud of, we watched the game at the United Center, and it was also arranged by Michael, and it didn't cost money, and the position was better than yours." ”

Reggie Miller pointed to the dozens of stars around him and smiled: "They're all the same. ”

"You're lying!"

Barkley scolded.

He didn't believe it at all, the Bulls could prepare a maximum of five tickets for Michael at a time, how could SuperSonics give Iron Fist dozens of tickets?

"He doesn't believe it? Ha ha! ”

Reggie Miller laughed, and so did Abdul-Jabbar.

Big Dream secretly pulled Barkley and whispered, "Don't you know? Tekken in Supersonic is this treatment, there are thirty tickets for each home stadium, and you are laughed at by them. ”

"Really?"

Barkley was stunned, he really hadn't noticed this.

At this time, the TV broadcast had not yet started, and Zhang Li and Xu Jicheng were chatting.

"Look, those people are politicians." Zhang Li pointed to some people and said.

"These politicians are also very fond of basketball, huh?" Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"They want votes, so they need exposure, just like stars. And Zhou Quan's influence here is too great now, if they get Zhou Quan's support, how many votes can they get? Zhang Li said with a smile.

At this time, Zeng Li's group of people entered, and dozens of stars and stars immediately attracted the attention of countless fans and media.

Zhang Li said with a smile after seeing it: "Zhou Quan still has a lot of connections in the United States, and after this incident, many people have come forward to support him, and they are all influential stars and stars." ”

"But there are more people and media against him, and the racism in the United States is too great!" Xu Jicheng sighed.

Zhang Reasonable said: "In fact, Zhou Quan has long been mixed into the upper class society of the United States, and now he is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars, which of the rich people in Seattle is not his friend?" He is one of the greatest athletes in the world, and with such a great influence, he has still been racially discriminated against, so you can imagine what ordinary Chinese will encounter in the United States. ”

At this time, Stern in New York was on the phone with Dix, the chairman of the referee committee, and said in a stern tone:

"Mr. Dicks, I don't want to see any accidents happen in the next finals, including the severity of the penalties, and there must be no bias.

Your guys shut me up while they're on the field, I don't want to see the headquarters smashed again, you know?

If negotiations with NBC can't be resumed, no one will be good, and whoever dares to mess around, Hughes Blake is a role model. ”

"Got it, Mr. President."

……

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced their starting lineups.

Bulls: Mutombo, Tony Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper

Sonics: Leitner, Rodman, Schramf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

On the NBC commentary seat, Elgin Baylor said: "Our ratings in the G3 game fell to 17 million, which is 6% lower than the G1 game, from heaven to hell, and today the Iron Fist King is back, I hope the ratings can come back."

If we don't come back, the NBA league will be in big trouble, because we only have one year left on our broadcast contract with NBC, and now the new contract negotiations have been stopped due to the sharp drop in ratings, even if it is restored in the future, the ratings will not come up, how big can the new contract that NBC give? ”

Oscar Robertson sighed: "In front of the world, the signature star of the racist league discriminates against the first active player, and this is the biggest scandal in the history of the NBA league.

It even led to tens of thousands of demonstrations in New York, the smashing of the NBA headquarters, the reputation of the NBA was greatly damaged, and it could even lead to a split within the league. ”

"It's really big this time."

Elgin Baylor sighed and said: "The league has finally developed to its current scale, in the past few years, under the influence of the Iron Fist King, the league's ratings have skyrocketed year by year, and this year it has risen by two percent, and the total has doubled, and now his contribution to the league is no less than that of the magic bird and Jordan." ”

Robertson nodded and said: "The finals have been played 1-2, the supersonic won one game first, lost two games in a row, and now there are two home games, tonight's G4 battle, the supersonic must not be lost, if you lose it, the Bulls will get the match point." ”

"If you win and draw, if you lose, this finals are basically over, and there has never been a one-three downturn in the history of the finals." Elgin Baylor said.

"When you're down three in the finals, the mentality of the players will change, the psychological pressure will be very high, and there will definitely be problems in the state, so it's almost impossible to come back." Robertson nodded.

Elgin Baylor received a notification from the director of the scene at this time, and excitedly said: "Good news for everyone, so far, the ratings have reached 35 million." ”

"Great!" Robertson said excitedly.

In New York, in front of the TV, David Stern also breathed a sigh of relief, although he did not return to the ratings of the G1 game, but now the situation has stabilized, and after the game starts, the ratings should still have some up.

At this time, the starting team starts and the away team takes the lead.

"Shh

Huge boos sounded, even if Jordan played, supersonic fans didn't save a little face, they could boo as much as they could, and they could boo as long as they could.

"Oooooooooo......oo

As the home team came out, cheers began to sweep through the central arena.

"Iron Fist! Tekken ......"

By the time Zhou Quan appeared in the finale, a tsunami-like shout sounded at the scene.

Zhou Quan greeted his friends on the sidelines, greeted the governors, mayors and councilors, and then was about to warm up when he was stopped by Mayor York Anderson.
