In Detroit, the Pistons headquarters, McCloskey received a large number of trade applications.
His assistant Troy Weaver opened the door and said: "Sir, this is the Bulls' trade request. They want weekly rights and chips..."
"They have bullshit leverage! Are they going to trade Jordan and Pippen to us? There are just one or two fringe players on the left and right."
McCloskey, the former commander of the US landing ship, directly swore and cursed angrily: "To hell with the Bulls' trade application, tell them that Zhou is not for sale.
Listen, Troy, from now on, the Pistons refuse any trade. They don't want to take advantage of me. I'm not selling to anyone. We are not a player supermarket. "
"All right."
Weaver quickly backed out.
This incident had a great impact and a great response.
After Michael Jordan had a drink with Pippen, he immediately received a call from a media reporter for an interview.
"Michael, do you have anything to say about the Pistons brawl?" the reporter asked.
"I praise Iron Fist!"
Jordan said cheerfully: "I'm also surprised that Isiah Thomas would treat a rookie like this.
This is not what a senior should do. What we have to do is help the rookies, not suppress them or even beat them four-on-one.
I think the official should investigate this matter, otherwise the NBA will lose its appeal to outstanding young people from the NCAA in the future. They will join the NFL, MLB and NHL.
In addition, I would like to say two words to Iron Fist: Iron Fist, you are not a bad boy, you are a knight who dares to kill dragons. I will give you a nickname, Dragon Terminator.
Also, Bad Boys is not for you at all. Come to Chicago and help me. Let's create a big scene together. "
"Charles, what do you think of this matter?" The reporter interviewed Buckley again on the phone.
"I have a successor, and Iron Fist deserves to be the most powerful executioner in the NCAA in the past two years."
When Barkley said this, he changed the topic and said in a mocking and accusatory tone: "I strongly condemn the Bad Boys for bullying rookies in the team. This is an extremely bad thing.
At the same time, those cowards did not dare to accept Iron Fist's duel. They were cowards and cowards, and they did not have any courage.
Especially Ranbir, aren’t you the number one villain? You don't even have the guts to challenge a small point guard, so just live with your head down from now on.
I want to say one thing, it's over, the Bad Boy Legion is completely over. Don't say they are tough in the future. They are just plain dirty. They are just a group of softies who dare not fight head-on. They were ended by the Iron Fist. "
"Ranbir and Thomas, those bastards, how dare they fight Iron Fist in a group? They are the biggest softies in the league. If they dare to fight Iron Fist in a one-on-one fight, Iron Fist will beat the crap out of them..."
Reggie Miller, the boss of the Pacers and a UCLA alumnus of Zhou Quan, stood up and openly attacked the Bad Boys. His words were very fierce and he even greeted their families.
Another UCLA alumnus, Lakers superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also stood up and publicly appealed for Zhou Quan, saying: "It's a pity. I actually really hope that the team can select Iron Fist. If he joins the Lakers, he will create a team for the gorgeous Lakers." Muscles like steel.
As for the Bad Boys, their behavior is challenging the bottom line of the league. If they are allowed to continue like this, the NCAA will probably prohibit young people from participating in the NBA draft in advance, and they will destroy the NBA. "
"The era of the Bad Boys, the Dragon Terminator, and the Iron Fist Slayer Zhou Quan is over." The New York Times.
"Hurrah, coward Bill Laimbeer has revealed that he will retire." Houston Daily News.
"The Bad Boys are a thing of the past, and the Flyers era has begun." Chicago Daily News.
In addition to the stars, major media outlets rushed to report on the incident, and the brawl in the Pistons locker room caused an uproar across the United States.
Not only the media, but as Zhou Quan’s alma mater, UCLA has publicly stated that it has paid attention to the matter and will provide free legal aid to Zhou Quan if necessary.
If these were not enough to shake the foundation of the NBA, then O'Neal's attitude made Stern jump like his butt was on fire.
At noon on the 14th, Shaquille O'Neal suddenly accepted an interview with the media. He said very seriously: "The violence in the Pistons locker room was a shocking and vicious incident. It shocked me very much. I retract my decision to participate in the NBA draft next year. I will reconsider my future carefully.
Iron Fist, I know him, we played in March Madness this year, he’s great, he’s a warrior, and I sympathize deeply with what he’s going through. "
After Stern learned about O'Neal's statement, he immediately called McCloskey's office and said very sternly: "Mr. General Manager, this matter is so bad that it has affected the foundation of the NBA. Either Laimbeer will be banned for life or Laimbeer will be banned for life." He retired on his own and I will not give him a third option."
"What?"
McCloskey was shocked. Why was the punishment so severe?
He quickly asked: "What about Isiah?"
Stern was silent for a moment and then said: "The first culprit will be shot. Ranbir is the culprit. The culprit must be eliminated. Thomas, I can give him some mercy."
"call!"
McCloskey breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside of Detroit and across the United States, Zhou Quan became a dragon-slaying warrior and was widely praised. His popularity increased tenfold and a hundredfold compared to when he was in the NCAA.
But in Detroit, many media and fans are accusing him, believing that he provoked Laimbeer, which triggered internal strife in the team and single-handedly caused the collapse of the Bad Boys. The team management should trade him away from the team immediately.
On the morning of the 15th, Zhou Quan stood in front of the window of the ward. From this angle, he could see the outside of the hospital gate. Even after a day, there were still many reporters and fans there.
Those fans must be Thomas's fans, and he can be sure that if he appears in front of them at this time, he will definitely be beaten.
But this was something that had been expected for a long time, and he didn't take it to heart.
During this time, he has been thinking about what to do in the future. The management will not trade him, nor will they move Laimbeer and others. They will continue to be teammates. He will face a very serious problem. If this team is allowed to collapse, he will also He would fall into a bad hole, which he really didn't want to do.
With a thought, he opened the system skillfully.
Breakthrough methods: one-handed feint breakthrough 72, feint forward change of direction 72, cross-step forward change of direction 75, feint turn pass 88, accelerated step pass 90, crushing breakthrough 95
Shooting methods: dunk 70, layup 90, hook 70, floater 85, rebound 80, pull-up jumper 80, turnaround jumper 75, fadeaway jumper 70, turnaround jumper 60, drift shot 70, horseback archery 75, The drawbar is 60, the step-back jump shot is 85, and the turn-around step-back jump shot is 80.
While he was looking at his shooting and breakthrough data, he was thinking about how to solve the current problem.
