Zhou Quan ended the on-site interview and said goodbye to the fans together with his teammates.
The fans responded enthusiastically to him. Although he did not fight the Bulls due to the assassin's injury tonight, his subsequent performance was recognized by Pistons fans.
Returning to the locker room, he asked John Salley and Thomas about their injuries. The situation was good or bad.
Selly received seven stitches on his face. There is nothing wrong with him. He will not miss the next game and can play with the injury. However, Thomas is serious. His bones are fine, but his lower back is strained and he will be sidelined for at least a month.
Moreover, Thomas's original injury problem was serious. Even if he recovers from this injury, it is likely to affect his condition and accelerate the aging of his career.
Warnell Walker said with a smile: "We still made a profit. Paxson broke two ribs. Grant and Cartwright must also be seriously injured. BJ should be fine. They are three serious injuries and we are one."
Assassin Thomas, who was lying on the massage bed, reminded: "Iron Fist, we are going to their home court on the 24th, so be careful."
"Don't worry." Zhou Quan nodded.
The Pistons have already played two games against the Bulls this season, and there are still three regular season games waiting for them. They both belong to the Eastern Central Division. They play five or six games in a regular season, and this season it will be five games.
Chuck Daly did not do a post-game summary and asked the players to take a shower and rest.
Zhou Quan stood under the shower head, opened the system and took a look. The speed had increased to level 90, which should have reached the first-class level.
He looked at his information and found that some of his information should have been improved.
Because there is too much data, you can't find it unless you look carefully, so I don't know exactly which day it was improved.
The level 82 breakthrough has been upgraded to level 83, and the six breakthrough techniques have generally been upgraded by one level.
The level 75 offense has been upgraded to level 76. The offense is mainly improved in facing the basket. In the past, the front basket skill was level 70, but now it is level 72.
The basic shooting skills have also been improved by one level, and are now at level 86. The jump shooting skills of the shooting skills have been improved by one level, and are now at level 86.
In addition, steals have been increased from level 80 to level 82, and game experience has been increased from level 60 to level 65.
In addition, his organizational ability has improved from 85 to 86. This is the most critical for him because he is a point guard.
"So many people were injured tonight, I wonder how the league will react tomorrow?"
"Whatever, we're not fighting, it's all within the rules."
"Yes, what Jordan said was not intentional. We can do whatever the rules don't object to."
Rodman, who was also taking a shower next to him, and the others started chatting at random.
"alliance?"
Zhou Quan thought about it for a while, but he couldn't care less anyway and was too lazy to think about it.
An hour later, the postgame media conference between the Bulls and Pistons began.
On the Bulls side, Jordan didn't come, and Pippen came alone.
"Scotty, where's Michael Jordan?" a reporter asked.
"He had some physical issues," Pippen explained.
"Let's go to the locker room." A reporter shouted.
At this moment, many reporters immediately ran out of the press conference hall.
Pippen turned pale with anger. I'm not a human being. I'm also an All-Star. Why are you running away? To add Jordan's black ass? He's long gone.
"Scotty, may I ask why Michael Jordan said before today's game that he would withdraw his praise for Iron Fist and also said that he would cut 50 points off Iron Fist's head? What happened?" a reporter asked at this time.
Pippen said without thinking: "He was angry because Iron Fist burned his suit with a cigar and used it as an ashtray."
"oh!"
All the reporters in the audience burst into surprise.
"Please tell me the detailed process." The reporter immediately asked.
"nothing……"
Pippen knew he had said the wrong thing, but luckily he didn't say anything about Jordan kneeling in front of Iron Fist and quickly changed the subject.
But the media reporters did not give up and continued to ask questions. The situation in his stomach could only be taken out little by little. Except for the details of Jordan being beaten to his knees in the end, the rest were taken out.
For the Pistons, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars participated.
"Iron Fist, the postman deliberately elbowed you that time, and you immediately violently fought back. Why didn't you choose to fight back violently this time?" a reporter asked.
"Michael Jordan wants to play with the rules, and of course I have to play with him. This is called a reciprocal reaction." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"So what will you do to other opponents in the future?" a reporter asked.
The smile on Zhou Quan's face suddenly faded, and he said seriously: "Life safety is the most important thing. We can make tough reactions on the court, and it is even allowed to cause injuries to the opponent, but we should not completely ignore or directly endanger the opponent subjectively. life safety.
Grant kneed Thomas for a layup. I think he completely ignored Thomas' safety subjectively, so he didn't stay at all when he rushed forward. This is wrong. He even deliberately hit Thomas and even used to his knees.
But I can guarantee that, except for the Bulls, other opponents will not enjoy the intensity of tonight's game. The safety of our opponents' lives will not be a part of our neglect. We are not the Chicago Bulls who have no bottom line for victory. "
On the 20th, countless media across the United States concentrated their firepower on reporting on the battle between the Pistons and Bulls last night.
"The Battle of Mount Auburn."
The New York Times used this headline and said in the report: "Taking all the information together, this tragic battle that left six people injured and four seriously injured originated from Cobra Horace Grant's complete disregard for the life of Isiah Thomas. That block, Michael Jordan's disregard for Thomas' life, angered Iron Fist, and the battle began."
"Paying attention to the life safety of our opponents should be our moral bottom line!"
The Washington Post used this headline and said in the report: "Iron Fist personally confirmed that after Grant hit Thomas with his knee, Michael Jordan said something to him, 'He didn't mean it, it was a normal physical confrontation. It's an action that complies with the rules.' Iron Fist disagrees with this sentence. He believes that the opponent's life safety should not be completely ignored for the sake of an offense or a defense."
"Jordan said that was an action allowed by the rules, but the behavior of ignoring the safety of the opponent's life should be condemned." Detroit Worker Daily.
"Iron Fist seriously injured Cartwright and John Paxson in one game, causing BJ to be injured and off the field. He is the biggest villain in the league, the most disgusting bad boy. He should be expelled from the league and let him go back to the ice hockey rink. "Chicago Daily News.
"Congratulations to the NBA and Michael Jordan. The Bad Boys are resurrected and they have their toughest new leader."
“Ashtray, Michael Jordan’s new nickname.” Detroit Sports News.
“The New Bad Boys Are Born.” Los Angeles Daily News.
"The king of gambling, Michael Jordan, just wants to win. Whether his opponents live or die is not a concern for him." Philadelphia Daily News.
"The Bulls activate their bad boys and the Eastern Conference will face the fiercest competition." Houston Chronicle.
