In the ESPN commentary box, Howard analyzed: "Both sides played with anger, played the roughest defense, and showed the strongest defensive intensity. Later, many people were injured, and the scoring efficiency of both sides dropped significantly.
What we need to pay attention to now is that the Pistons are very determined to win. This has been the case from the beginning of the game. From players to fans, they refuse to let Michael Jordan become the God of the Palace of Auburn Hills, and they do whatever it takes to do this.
The same goes for the Bulls. Michael Jordan shouted before the game that he would score 50+ points on the Iron Fist. So far, he has scored 23 points and is indeed hopeful of scoring 50+. "
Winston immediately shook his head and said: "It's impossible. In today's atmosphere, I think Iron Fist would rather break Jordan's legs than let him score 50 points."
Howard was stunned and thought about it, it was really possible.
In the player tunnel, the two teams happened to enter at the same time, so it was a bit blocked.
"Just a moment."
Zhou Quan stretched out his hand to stop Pippen and signaled the teammates behind him to go first.
"Why?"
Pippen muttered quietly.
"Iron Fist, don't go too far. Why do you leave first?" Jordan said angrily.
He is a character who wants to win no matter whether he walks, urinates, or plays cards or ball. How can a paranoid man with a paranoid desire to win endure himself walking behind?
Zhou Quan said coldly: "This is our home court. You are mortal enemies, not guests, so we have to leave first. Do you have any objection? Or do you really think you are the God here? Who gave you the face?"
"Crack, click, click..."
This place is not far from the stadium. When many media reporters found out, they immediately rushed over at a speed of 100 meters and clicked the shutter quickly.
"snort!"
Jordan snorted angrily and closed his mouth.
"let's go."
Zhou Quan raised his hand and walked away with his teammates.
Reporters were surprised. When did Jordan walk behind others?
"Michael, what do you think of Iron Fist?" a reporter asked loudly.
"He used to be a dragon-slaying warrior, but he has been stained with dragon blood and has turned into an evil dragon." Jordan said coldly.
"Will the ultra-high-intensity defense continue in the second half?" a reporter asked again.
"We have never been afraid of the Bad Boys, let alone the current Pistons team?" Jordan said disdainfully as he walked forward.
Indeed, as he said, the game was still very rough in the second half, with fierce defense appearing one after another, and people falling on the court from time to time.
Jordan was brought down three times within five minutes, all of which were brought down after rushing in. There was really no one on the outside who could stop him. Neither Joe Dumars nor Zhou Quan could stop his breakthroughs and cuts without the ball. .
When Zhou Quan broke through with the ball, even though he beat John Paxson, his breakthrough speed was slow. The Bulls double-teamed him in advance. He also suffered a lot of hidden elbows and was directly hugged and thrown three times.
At the sixth minute and fifth second of the third quarter, Zhou Quan attacked with the ball.
At this time, John Salley got a small opening under the basket. Zhou Quan saw it and quickly passed the ball over John Paxson's head, and the basketball flew straight to the basket.
"Snapped!"
Johnselli took off to catch the ball, and when he landed, he adjusted his feet and prepared for a layup.
This adjustment time gave the defender time. Cartwright took the opportunity to arrive, and when John Salley made a layup, he also took off.
"slow!"
Unfortunately, the rhythm was still a little slow, and his hand could not reach the ball. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, his arm bent, the tip of his elbow protruded, and he suddenly hit Selly in the face.
"ah!"
John Salley screamed in pain and was knocked directly to the basket, his face bleeding.
"I didn't mean to do it, I bumped into him accidentally." Cartwright spread his hands and shouted to the referee with an innocent face.
"I saw it, he did not do it unintentionally."
Zhou Quan's eyes flashed sharply, but he said something that shocked everyone.
When the referee saw what Zhou Quan said, he nodded and gave Cartwright only one defensive foul.
Fifty-five seconds later, Zhou Quan broke through with the ball.
He advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt without slowing down. Facing the blockage of John Paxson, he controlled the ball with his right hand and put his left elbow and chest in front. He changed direction slightly and when he rushed from the right, he hit the ball with his right hand. .
"ah!"
Under his brutal collision, John Paxson screamed and was knocked to the ground. He fell to the floor still holding his chest and screaming in pain.
"asshole!"
Jordan's eyes were just about to bleed, BJ had just been injured, and Paxson was injured again. This bastard Iron Fist is the real bad boy.
The referee saw this scene and did not blow the whistle because this was a normal physical confrontation during a breakthrough with the ball. Paxson was out of position and had been attacked by an iron fist.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan rushed into the paint area, attracted the defense, and assisted substitute center Bedford to dunk a goal.
At this time, the Bulls doctor came on the scene. After a short examination, he quickly turned back and shouted to Phil Jackson: "Two ribs were broken."
"What?"
Philk Jason's expression changed.
In the tenth minute, the Bulls attacked.
Pippen broke through with the ball, and Bill Cartwright got a chance under the basket. The former quickly distributed the ball, and the latter caught the ball and made a layup.
"Don't even think about it!"
Seeing that his opponent was about to score, Zhou Quan suddenly rushed out from the gap in the crowd, flew up, swung his big hand directly over, and made a brutal block at the critical moment when his opponent scored.
"Snapped!"
The ball was blown directly out of the sideline, and he hit Cartwright's body.
"ah!"
Cartwright was knocked to the ground, holding his waist with one hand and his left ankle with the other, screaming in agony.
"Get away! Get away!"
He felt that his waist was about to break and his ankles were about to break. In pain, he roared angrily at Zhou Quan who was on top of him.
"Your mouth stinks!"
Zhou Quan cursed, and Shi Shiran got up from Cartwright's body, turned around and shouted to the referee: "Sir, this should be a normal shot, right?"
The referee, who was also a little pale, had no words to say, but pointed to the sideline and gave the ball to the Bulls.
"..."
Seeing that another teammate was knocked down, and Tekken didn't even commit a foul, Jordan stood outside.
"Rules, these are the rules!"
Zhou Quan walked to Jordan and said coldly to him: "When the opponent's safety is completely out of our eyes, please remember that the rules are to protect us."
"It's over!"
Phil Jackson's face turned pale. After fighting with the Pistons for so many years, he never thought that a regular season game would lead to such a tragic situation.
"This is not a basketball game, this is the most tragic football game. Starting from the Assassins, Grant, B.J., John Salley, John Paxson, Carter White, four from the Bulls, two from the Pistons, six were injured and left the field. It was so tragic! Even any previous game between the Bad Boys and the Bulls was far less tragic than this one."
In the ESPN commentary box, Howard shook his head and sighed.
Winston said with a serious face: "The trigger was that Grant didn't consider the opponent's safety at all when he blocked the shot. He used his knee to directly knock the assassin away, while Iron Fist used the toughest but within the rules method to kill him. respond.
Judging from the injured players, although the assassin is a substitute, his importance on the bench is no less than that of the main players. John Salley's injury is unknown and he has returned to the locker room. The Pistons can be regarded as hurting two important players. But overall, the main rotation lineup can be maintained.
As for the Bulls, all three main players were injured, and the losses were also serious. BJ is sitting on the bench and should still be able to play. He should be able to replace John Paxson. The two are about the same strength. The Bulls also have two backup centers who can replace Cartwright. The loss is not very big.
However, Horace Grant's injury is very serious for the Bulls, and no one on the bench can take his place.
Phil Jackson is fuming, with four injuries and big problems with his main rotation. "
