God of NBA point guards

Chapter 74 Chicago Ashtray
Detroit is in a jubilation, like a festival, the atmosphere is very good.

Since last year's Eastern Conference finals were swept away, and then the locker room violence, the Pistons finally climbed out of the trough, and even climbed out of the pit of the former bad boy army in one fell swoop, standing on the moral high ground.

In the past, the enemies of the Bad Boys Legion spread all over the alliance, they were the public enemies of the alliance, the evil dragon, the evil dragon fell, and the entire alliance cheered for it. Jordan became a dragon slaying warrior, and his prestige skyrocketed, while the reputation and historical status of the assassin plummeted, but One game last night, they found out that the Pistons and Bulls had reversed positions.

When the fans saw the media crazily condemning the Bulls and Jordan, they were all happy and crazy.

And Zhou Quan's image among Detroit fans has jumped three levels.

"I want to vote for Iron Fist, he must be in the All-Star."

On this day, a large number of Detroit fans changed their choice. Originally, they chose the Assassin at the No. [-] position, but the Assassin was injured last night, and it is very likely that he will not be able to participate in the All-Star Game. Zhou Kwon has now become their best choice.

……

"boom!"

In a hotel in Detroit, Jordan, who didn’t fall asleep all night, was very irritable. He was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper. He only read some headlines, but didn’t read the content. People jumped.

He became a big villain, an ashtray, and a moral villain, and the bad boy army he defeated became a moral model.

But in fact, no one was injured on his hands, and he had three teammates fell at the feet of Iron Fist.

With nowhere to vent, he stared at Pippen, a guy who earned him the nickname of an ashtray.

Staring at Pippen with red eyes, Jordan growled: "Damn it, you revealed it to the media? Who told you to talk? Is it your turn to talk about my affairs? You idiot!"

Pippen shrank his neck and buried his face in the plate.

As for the other players, they were all sitting at the table shivering like quails.

……

In New York, David Stern was startled when he woke up and flipped through a stack of newspapers on the table before eating breakfast.

"What happened?"

Now he regrets that he went to bed early yesterday. He caught a cold yesterday. After taking some cold medicine, he went to bed before eight o'clock.

"Hawk, what did the Bulls and Pistons do last night?"

He quickly contacted special assistant Hawk Houston to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. President, a total of six people were injured in the game between the Bulls and the Pistons last night. Among them, Isiah Thomas, Grant, Cartwhite, and Paxson were seriously injured. These four people will be injured for half a month at least, and at least one or two. Minor injuries to BJ Armstrong and John Saley will not affect the rest of the game," special assistant Hawk Houston said.

Stern sat at the dining table in a daze for a few seconds before reacting, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on, did you fight?"

"No, there was no fight, it was all within the rules," Hawke Houston said.

"How could it be so serious?" Stern asked incomprehensibly.

Houston gave an overview of the situation, and finally said: "According to the rules, none of them are criminals, even Zhou Quan's breakthrough that broke two of Paxson's ribs is not even counted as a foul, but the situation is indeed serious. serious."

"Did they appeal?" Stern asked.

"No, neither the Bulls nor the Pistons," Houston said.

Then he said: "Mr. President, there are two troublesome aspects of the current situation."

"You say." Stern said calmly.

Houston said: "First, Michael Jordan's question, Zhou Quan accused him of disregarding the lives of his opponents.

Now the media has reacted greatly, and many media are accusing him, even turning up the black material about his gambling, and hyping him up.

If the public opinion continues, Michael Jordan's reputation will be rotten, ten times worse than Isiah Thomas' current reputation. "

Stern has a headache. The bad boy army has become a thing of the past. Jordan is the person he wants to promote and the sign he wants to build. What should we do?
Thomas is at most a name for beating newcomers, Michael Jordan, this is a humanitarian loss, a problem of a completely different nature.

"Iron Fist, Iron Fist..."

Thinking of Zhou Quan, his head hurt even more.

Originally, he admired Zhou Quan very much, because Zhou Quan and Thomas reconciled, and persuaded O'Neal to re-enter the draft, which stabilized the foundation of the NBA. He thought he was a young man full of wisdom and a big picture.

But then he broke two of the postman's ribs on the field, and now he has made such a big deal, destroying the sign he wanted to build, under the conflict of interests, how can he appreciate it?

Houston said at this time: "The second question is about the style of the game. The league should express its support for Zhou Quan's remarks, otherwise it will shake our foundation.

That is to say, in our game, players should not ignore and ignore the life safety of their opponents.

This is the moral bottom line of a society and life, and rules should not be above this bottom line.

What I mean is that the law is only the bottom line of morality, and the rules are only the bottom line of morality.Mr. President, on this point, I support Zhou Quan's remarks. "

"I support it too."

Stern said without hesitation.

Houston said: "Zhu Quan made a public promise at the post-game press conference last night that, except for the Bulls, the Pistons will not play the intensity of last night in other games.

Mr. President, this attitude is commendable. I still think he is a young man with a very good outlook on the overall situation and a person with high moral standards.

Of course, he is a person who will get revenge. After Grant injured Thomas, he immediately confronted him and injured four Bulls players. This kind of character is also very annoying, and he will definitely have various troubles in the future. "

Stern couldn't help but nodded. Zhou Quan's attitude of making promises in public made him appreciate it again. After thinking for a while, he said, "Hawk, you should prepare for a formal press conference right away. The outside world shows our attitude."

"Okay, sir."

After a few more words of advice, Stern ended the call.

He began to think about the Pistons and the Bulls. Zhou Quan promised that he would not play the intensity of last night's game in other games, but he couldn't play the game against the Bulls either. Otherwise, sooner or later, like a football game, there will be players dying on the field. He wants to solve this problem.

"My dear, I have something urgent to deal with. I won't have breakfast."

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left home, rushed to the headquarters, asked his assistant to bring the Bulls and Pistons schedule, and ordered him a breakfast by the way.

When he saw it, he was taken aback. The 24th was the third regular season game between the two teams. He only had a few days to deal with this problem.
