God of NBA point guards

Chapter 459 Slap
Xiao Hua said uneasily: "Mr. President, after I learned about this voice, I think it must be made known to you, otherwise it will cause some internal problems and may lead to internal divisions."

"You did a good job." Stern nodded and said.

Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Stern, I personally have no opinion."

Stern nodded noncommittally and asked, "What do you think of Iron Fist?"

Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, looked at Stern's expression, and couldn't see anything, so he carefully replied: "Iron Fist has become the current No. 1 player and is one of our signature stars. I don't think it is appropriate to suppress it too much." .”

Stern's expression did not change and he motioned for Xiao Hua to continue.

Xiao Hua tentatively said: "Mr. Stern, almost no media in the United States supports Iron Fist now. I think issues related to him should be carefully considered.

At least, we must fully consider the attitude of the media, because the development of our alliance cannot be separated from the support of the media. "

"Do you support their view?" Stern asked.

Xiao Hua said hurriedly: "No, President, I am considering the issue in the interests of the league. The media does not like Iron Fist, so can we find other goals to support, such as building a few more potential players to distract the media from Iron Fist attention.”

Stern was startled and nodded.

Xiao Hua's suggestion is pertinent. After Michael, Iron Fist is the next star he supports. Now that the media does not support Iron Fist, it is really necessary to find a few more stars to support it, lest Iron Fist collapses and the league loses its brand.

When Xiao Hua saw Stern nodding, he became excited and said: "And Iron Fist crosses boundaries from time to time. What if he really leaves the NBA?"

Stern had already had this worry and couldn't help but nodded again.

Xiao Hua said again: "So Mr. President, how are we going to deal with the internal voices now?"

Stern hesitated and then said: "We need to maintain a fair playing environment, and I don't want to see racial discrimination in the NBA.

Of course, moderate control is also beneficial to our interests. After all, we are a business alliance, and I don’t want to see a one-sided finals. "

Xiao Hua nodded and said: "This is the wisest decision, and I think it should be like this."

"You go out first."

Stern smiled and waved.

"Yes."

Xiao Hua exited the president's office with a smile.

In the president's office, Stern was drinking coffee and thinking about what Xiao Hua said just now.

He was suddenly startled. This Xiao Hua said he didn't hold any personal opinions, but he had just made his personal opinions clear. It seemed that he was on the side of those who supported suppressing Iron Fist.

This made him a little regretful, but not surprising. After all, he knew how powerful the racial discrimination of white people was and how deeply rooted it was in the hearts of the people. Xiao Hua discriminated against Iron Fist and supported the suppression of Iron Fist. This did not surprise him.

"Ugh!"

Since this season, especially after entering the playoffs, the media has been targeting Iron Fist like crazy. Now the media is no longer black Iron Fist, but is referring to white as black, and black for the sake of black. He also feels powerless, just not Knowing how Iron Fist managed to remain unaffected, he admired Iron Fist for this.

……

On the morning of the 2nd, Zhou Jun and Zeng Yu were sitting on the plane flying to Chicago.

Zhou Jun looked a little irritable. He had a stack of newspapers in his hand, which he bought in Los Angeles. After reading it, his face turned black with anger.

"Xiaoyu, these media have no bottom line. You see, this Miami Daily actually accused my brother of taking drugs. And this newspaper said that my brother was messing around at UCLA. This media said that my brother was involved in illegal manipulation of Amazon. The stock price, this one said he evaded taxes, this one said my brother had several illegitimate children outside. And this one actually said my brother was a prostitute..."

"Xiaojun, don't be angry. I have always been like this since I came to the United States last year, but it has become more and more serious recently. No wonder my brother-in-law told us that this is not the place for us to stay, and he asked us to return to China after graduation. "

"It's not easy for my brother in the United States."

"Ah."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Li picked up Zhou Jun and Zeng Yu at the Chicago Airport.

"Xiaojun, your brother is not here. He doesn't want to deal with the media now." Zeng Li said after getting in the car.

"Sister-in-law, is my brother in a good mood?" Zhou Jun asked with concern.

"It's okay. He hasn't read newspapers or TV news for a long time. Our newspapers can't come in during this period." Zeng Li said with a smile.

"These media in the United States have gone too far. They have no media integrity at all. They are all fabricated news." Zhou Jun said angrily.

"Fortunately, your brother said that when the media criticized Jordan a few years ago, they were also so negative. He was mentally prepared." Zeng Li said with a smile.

"That's true. There has been no news about Michael Jackson for several years. It was forced by the media." Zhou Jun nodded.

The hotel that Zeng Li arranged for the two of them was not the hotel where she and Supersonic stayed. There were many reporters there, so it would save them trouble.

After settling in, it was past three o'clock. The three of them had afternoon tea and went to the United Center.

It was close to five o'clock when we arrived, just as Zhou Quan and the others had finished their training. After taking a shower, the four of them had dinner together.

"How are your grades? What level of scholarship did you get? Xiaojun, you were in the second level last year, right?" Zhou Quan asked casually.

"It's still second-class this year." Zhou Jun said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I am first class." Zeng Yu said with a smile.

"That's right. I got a full scholarship and let your sister reward you." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Here, put it on."

Zeng Li thought for a moment, took off a red bracelet from his wrist, and gave it to Zeng Yu.

"Sister, is it expensive?"

Zeng Yu took it and asked.

"I don't like those expensive jewelry. This one is made of crystal and costs more than 300 US dollars." Zeng Li said.

"That's expensive. If you put it in China, it would be worth several months of my mother's salary." Zeng Yu happily took it and asked Zhou Jun if she was pretty.

Zhou Jun nodded quickly and said, "Beautiful."

Zhou Quan and Zeng Li looked at each other and pretended not to see them.

……

That night, the G2 battle started.

During the G1 game, if the home whistle was not too obvious, then the home whistle in this game was somewhat obvious from the beginning.

In the 4th minute of the first quarter, when Zhou Quan tackled Jordan head-on, he was called for a personal foul.

Two minutes later, he bumped into Jordan while holding the ball and was called for an offensive foul.

After two fouls in half a quarter, he realized the game might be in trouble.

In the NBA, the home whistle is one of the normal home court advantages, even in the finals. He knows this very well.

But he did not weaken his offensive and defensive intensity, but played more violently. This was his own way of putting pressure on the referee.

He didn't know whether the referee felt the pressure on him, but he was not called for another foul in the second half.

However, in the 5th minute of the second quarter, the referee called him for another defensive foul, and it was called when he tackled Jordan head-on.

In the 9th minute, Jordan broke through for a layup, but he blocked the shot and was called for another thug foul.

He committed 4 fouls before the half was over and was replaced by George Karl.

At halftime, the Bulls led by 8 points.

In the third quarter, he led the team to chase points. In the 8th minute, 56:56, the score was only 3 points away. At this time, he received his fifth foul and knocked over Ron Harper, who was changing defense. He committed an offensive foul.

"The whistle was too biased. Harper was on the move and had no defensive position at all. How could it be an offensive foul?" Xu Jicheng said unconvinced.

"Let's see what Zhou Quan does. Should he be more restrained or stick to his original style of play?" Zhang Lili asked.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Bulls attack.

Jordan used a pick-and-roll to catch the ball and shoot a jump shot at the right three-point line. Zhou Quan quickly took a step forward and slapped him. He was taking the ball, and the ball was on his chest. With a pop, the ball was knocked away.

"Beautiful! The whistle didn't sound. Zhou Quan grabbed the ball and started to counterattack." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

On the way back to defense, Jordan secretly pulled Zhou Quan's jersey while squeezing Zhou Quan's center of gravity with his chest.

The referee ran aside and turned a blind eye to Jordan's little move.When Zhou Quan was halfway to the three-point line on the left wing, he suddenly stopped suddenly, then stepped back and shot a jumper. When the ball flew to the basket, Jordan's block was half a beat too slow.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan first stole Jordan and then tied the score with a three-pointer." Xu Jicheng roared excitedly.

"This is Zhou Quan's third successful steal of Jordan today. The steal just now was really decisive, and there was no ambiguity because he had committed five fouls." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Coach Zhang, if you include the two blown steals, it's five." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lili said: "When stealing, it is inevitable that the hand of the ball holder will be touched, so the scale of this whistle is very particular and is controlled by the referee.

It's their home court. You can't let the referees favor the Sonics. How is that possible?This is N BA, so it is a business alliance. "

Zhou Quan recovered 9 points in 8 minutes and equalized the score. This not only put great pressure on the Bulls, but also put great pressure on the referees.

The game continued, and Zhou Quan didn't know when the sixth foul would come, so he attacked with all his strength and fired up. After the third quarter, his team had led the Bulls by 6 points.

"Zhou Quan played 28 minutes in the third quarter and scored 28 points in 36 minutes with a shooting percentage of 56.2%. His condition today is actually very good." Zhang Lili said.

"Let's see how we play in the final quarter, five fouls." Xu Jicheng said.

Shortly after, the fourth quarter began.

When the Bulls attacked, Pippen missed a three-point jumper. Rodman grabbed the rebound. Seeing Zhou Quan coming down quickly, he immediately threw it out. Mutombo didn't even have time to stop him.

"boom!"

Three seconds later, Zhou Quan completed the counterattack with a flying dunk.

"6 points."

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Zhou Quan scored 38 points, and he may have 50+ points today!" Xu Jicheng also said excitedly.

Bulls attack.

Jordan ran to the top of the key and took advantage of Harper's pick-and-roll to catch the ball.

But Zhou Quan reacted very quickly, bypassing Harper and catching up with Jordan at the top of the left arc, blocking him again.

Jordan didn't dare to delay, because Hawkins was by his side. If he didn't take action, he would probably be double-teamed. So when he saw Zhou Quan in front of him, he immediately turned around, leaned against Zhou Quan, and then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. .

When Jordan turned around for the first time, Zhou Quan knew that he was probably going to use the move of turning around and leaning back, so the moment he turned around for the second time, he started to rush up and keep up with the rhythm. When Jordan took off, The next moment, he also rushed forward.

However, the direction of his attack was not in front of Jordan. Instead, he jumped up from the left side and flew past Jordan's right side. At the same time, he slapped the basketball held up by Jordan high into the air with his right hand.

"Oh!"

Bulls fans at the United Center screamed in surprise when they saw this block.

"Oh hoo!"

Two thousand fans of the visiting team cheered immediately.

"Di!"

But at this moment, the referee's whistle blew.

"Personal foul? Is there any mistake? Jordan's hand shouldn't have been touched, right?" Zhang Lili said in surprise when he saw the referee's gesture.

"Did Iron Fist commit a foul just now?"

"It should be, the referee won't call it if he doesn't know it."

"You're kidding, Charles, the referee only called Iron Fist today, not Michael."

"NO, I didn't see Iron Fist's hand touch Jordan's hand."

"Isn't the home whistle too obvious today?"

"No, the home whistle is part of the game, and misjudgments are also part of the game. This is very normal."

On the sidelines, Dameng, Barkley, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Stallone and others immediately started talking.

"Mr. Blake, are you sure?" Zhou Quan asked, staring at the referee on the court.

A trace of contempt flashed in Hughes Blake's eyes. He did not explain at all, but pointed directly to the outside of the court and shouted expressionlessly: "SuperSonics One, please leave the court immediately."

"Boss."

"Iron fist."

Rodman and others gathered around.

"You will regret it."

Zhou Quan stopped looking at Hughes Blake and said to Rodman and others: "You guys play well, the next game will be our home court."

"Your home court, no, this is our home court."

When Hughes Blake heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He took a step sideways and stood in front of Zhou Quan.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Quan's eyes suddenly filled with anger.

"What you said just now, 'You will regret it,' are you threatening me? I regard it as a threat to me." Hughes Blake said coldly.

"Your ability to understand is limited, I understand this very well." Zhou Quan said coldly.

After saying that, he moved his feet, squeezed past Hughes Blake and walked out of the field.

"Damn China!"

Blake was pushed aside, feeling humiliated in front of the whole world. Iron Fist had no respect for him. He was very angry and cursed indiscriminately.

Zhou Quan had been holding back the whole game, and this sentence was like a fuse, igniting his anger. He turned around suddenly, moved his right hand, and slapped him.

One of the black spots that the American media attacks on him is violence.

Indeed, violence has been his most powerful way to solve problems since he entered the UCLA basketball and ice hockey teams. This continued until he entered the NBA. Later, he did not continue to use violence because he had to pay attention to image issues.

"Snapped!"

An extremely crisp sound of slapping sound was heard, and Hughes Blake received a slap in the face.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed.

"God, Iron Fist is taking action?"

"Oh, Iron Fist is impulsive!"

exclaimed Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson in the NBC commentary box.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Zhang Lili couldn't help but lost his voice when he saw this scene.

"..." Xu Jicheng no longer knew what to say.

On the sidelines, Zeng Li and Zhou Jun and Zhou Yu stood up in fright. A large number of star players such as Stallone and O'Nick also stood up in surprise.

"..."

In New York, Stern's home, he saw this scene on TV, and his mind was confused for a moment.

New York, Xiao Hua's home, he was very surprised when he saw this scene.

Iron Fist attacked the referee. No matter what the reason was, it was an unforgivable act and must be severely punished, banned, or even banned for life.

You must know that Van Exel was fined $2.5 and suspended for seven games last year just for pushing the referee. Iron Fist's beating of the referee was a hundred times worse than that of Madman Van.

This result, which they had not thought of originally, was a hundred times better than what they imagined. Now they should put pressure on Stern and force him to ban Iron Fist for life.
