God of NBA point guards

Chapter 465: Shut up your people on the court

In a coffee room of the hotel where the Bulls stayed, Jordan was chatting with Barkley, Damn, Ewing and others.

"Michael, this time the championship is guaranteed. That guy Iron Fist is too rampant, you have to teach him a lesson this time." Dameng said.

"I really don't understand why tens of thousands of black brothers in New York are willing to stage demonstrations for the Iron Fist and even smashed the alliance headquarters. The alliance has suffered too much this time. I heard that NBC has stopped negotiating the TV broadcast contract." Buckley shook his head.

Ewing said: "Who made the ratings of the G3 game drop so much? It was more than half, dropped by [-]%. It is not surprising that NBC suspended the negotiations."

His words made Jordan feel a little embarrassed.

"Fortunately, the trouble only lasted one day." Dameng said happily.

Jordan looked complicated and said: "Anti-racism, that idiot Hughes Blake said a stupid thing, which made Iron Fist stand up."

"It's already two to one, how can you still make him comeback?"

Barkley said with envy and expectation: "Michael, let's come back next season."

"Charles, are you really sure you want to join the Bulls?"

Patrick Ewing doesn't look good, Barkley went to the Bulls, and it will be more difficult for the Knicks to get ahead in the East.

Buckley said awkwardly: "My body can't bear it anymore. What do you want me to do?"

Ewing groaned, his face fell and he stopped talking.

Jordan glanced at the silent Dream. It's a pity that this guy didn't accept the basic salary, otherwise he would be ten times better than Barkley.

He couldn't help but ask: "Hakim, have you decided where to go?"

Dameng said helplessly: "I originally wanted to join forces with the postman, so I contacted him. He should go to the Lakers and join forces with O'Neal. Jerry West has already contacted him."

"what?"

Jordan's expression changed.

"What should I do?"

Barkley panicked. The shark and the postman joined forces, and the Lakers' lineup was not bad. Even if the Bulls added him, they might not be able to do it!

Jordan calmed down and stopped thinking about the news. The most important thing for him now was to win the finals.

……

At noon, Zhou Quan drove to the headquarters.

As he passed the newly built stadium, he stopped to look at it but did not get out of the car.

The new stadium has basically been renovated, and there are still some minor internal projects. It will definitely be put into use as scheduled next season.

He was looking forward to playing in the new stadium next season, but this incident made him really start to consider Philip's suggestion.

In the afternoon, outside the Seattle Center Arena, more and more fans came from the city and further urban areas, gradually forming a sea of ​​people.

In the evening, the old Central Gymnasium finally became brighter and became the brightest area in the city center.

After dinner, a dozen cars arranged by Zeng Li set off from the villa and rushed to the central stadium.

Zhou Quan had dinner at a restaurant in the Central Gymnasium and returned to the locker room with his teammates. He happened to meet Jordan, Pippen and others in a corridor, and also returned to the locker room after dinner.

Zhou Quan glanced at Pippen, and Pippen hid behind Jordan. He was obviously taller than Jordan, but he was well hidden.

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Quan sneered twice, and then cursed: "Pippin, do you really want to see me banned for life? You idiot, I thought you had changed into white skin, but it turns out not, you are still black."

Pippen didn't dare to say anything, and Zhou Quan continued to curse: "Why, you loser was elected to the [-]th National Congress and hooked up with Madonna. Did that give you the courage to fight me?"

Jordan had to stand up and said: "Iron Fist, you also scolded him. Is this the end of the matter?"

Zhou Quan pointed at Pippen and cursed: "Idiot, you are also one of those who are discriminated against in the United States."

Pippen looked ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Jordan's expression turned ugly when he saw Pippen being scolded. When he saw Laettner, he couldn't help but said coldly: "Iron Fist, aren't there racists around you?"

"Who?"

Zhou Quan was startled and followed Jordan's line of sight to see Leitner.

Laettner immediately yelled: "Michael Jordan, what the hell are you talking about? I'm a villain, but I'm definitely not racist."

Jordan sneered and said: "Don't think of me as a fool, you are. We are teammates on the Dream Team, and when you were playing in the NCAA, you also said a lot of racial discrimination, which was reported by the media."

"I'm not, you're setting me up."

After taking a look at Zhou Quan, who looked unhappy, Leitner said angrily.

"That's enough! Shut up, everyone." Zhou Quan shouted angrily.

He got angry, and even Jordan immediately shut his mouth. Laettner didn't dare to say anything, and just stared at Jordan with ferocious eyes.

"let's go."

Zhou Quan ignored Jordan and the others, turned around and left.

"Michael, maybe they will fight among themselves, and our opportunity has come." After Zhou Quan and the others left, Pippen said excitedly.

A trace of excitement flashed in Jordan's eyes, but he said: "Scotty, when you speak from now on, think through your head and don't get angry.

This incident was very big. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated and the league headquarters was smashed. The reputation of the league was even more damaged. I heard that the loss was hundreds of millions of dollars. If the NBA was a listed company, the stock price would probably drop this time. Cut in half. "

By the way, Zhou Quan returned to the locker room. As soon as he entered the door, Leitner said anxiously: "Iron Fist, don't believe what that bastard Jordan said, I am not."

"Then why did he say you were? He couldn't tell those clumsy lies in front of me. It would be too easy to expose." Zhou Quan asked coldly.

Leitner suddenly became furious: "If I say no, it's no. He is causing trouble. If you don't believe me, come and beat me?"

Hawkins said at this time: "Kristin was very famous in the NCAA. He had a bad temper and often cursed others. I heard that even his teammates scolded him. Maybe he did curse some excessive words, and then he was exposed by the media."

"That's it, the bullshit media is always targeting me," Lightner said angrily.

Sam Perkins said at this time: "Iron Fist, he doesn't seem to have had these behaviors in the team this season."

"Let's do it first."

At this time, Zhou Quan did not want to fight among himself. After looking at his teammates, he said: "In my team, racial discrimination is never allowed. Anyone who wants to do this will get out of the team."

"I didn't." Leitner said grumpily. "Christine, I believe you first. If you don't, I will apologize to you in the future." Zhou Quan said after calming down.

"Maybe Jordan was causing trouble," Schrempf said.

Zhou Quan's eyes moved. This possibility is also possible, but Laettner should have had racial discrimination or history in the past. This is most likely true. If he has it now, it should not be very strong, at least it has not been shown within the team. , otherwise he would have known it already.

This change in Laettner should be related to his achievements after entering the league.

When he was in the NCAA, he even surpassed O'Neal. He was extremely famous, so he was arrogant. Now he is not doing well in the league, so he has kept a low profile.

But what happened in the past has nothing to do with him.

……

The game started at 08:30, and fans entered the venue at 06:30. By [-] o'clock, the central stadium was already full.

At the scene, there were a lot of celebrities and NBA stars, as well as various wealthy people from Seattle, as well as Washington State Governor Hank Beans, seven or eight state legislators, Seattle Mayor York Anderson, and several city councilors. .

"The SuperSonics management went too far. We sat in the fourth row, and these two rookies sat in front of us. We also paid three thousand dollars."

Barkley looked at Kobe and Iverson in the front row and said unhappily.

Reggie Miller was also sitting in the third row in front. He turned around and said, "Sorry, this is Iron Fist's home stadium. He arranged our tickets. It didn't cost a penny."

Barkley's face stiffened and he snorted coldly: "Why are you so proud? Michael arranged for us to watch the game at the United Center, and we didn't spend any money. The location is better than yours."

Reggie Miller pointed at the dozens of basketball stars around him and said with a smile: "They are all the same."

"You are lying!"

Barkley cursed.

He didn't believe it at all. The Bulls could prepare at most five tickets for Michael per game. How could the SuperSonics give Iron Fist dozens of tickets?

"He doesn't believe it? Haha!"

Reggie Miller laughed, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the others also laughed.

Dameng secretly pulled Barkley and said in a low voice: "Don't you know? Iron Fist is treated like this in the SuperSonics. There are thirty tickets for each home game. You are laughed at by them."

"Really?"

Buckley was stunned, he really didn't notice this.

At this time, the TV broadcast had not started yet, and Zhang Lili and Xu Jicheng were chatting.

"Look, those people are politicians." Zhang Lili pointed at some people and said.

"These politicians also like basketball, right?" Xu Jicheng asked.

"They want votes, so they also need exposure, just like star players. And Zhou Quan's influence here is too great now. How many votes can they get if they get Zhou Quan's support?" Zhang Li said with a smile.

At this time, Zeng Li and a group of people entered the stadium, including dozens of players and stars, which immediately attracted the attention of countless fans and media.

After seeing this, Zhang Lijia laughed and said: "Zhou Quan still has many connections in the United States. After this incident, many people came forward to support him. They are all influential players and stars."

"But there are more people and media targeting him. The racial discrimination in the United States is too powerful!" Xu Jicheng lamented.

Zhang Lili said: "Actually, Zhou Quan has been involved in the upper class society in the United States for a long time. Now he is worth at least several hundred million dollars. Which rich man in Seattle is not his friend? He is also one of the greatest athletes in the world. With such great influence, I still encountered racial discrimination. You can imagine what ordinary Chinese will encounter in the United States."

At this time, Stern, who was in New York, was on the phone with Dix, the chairman of the referee committee, and said in a very stern tone:

"Mr. Dix, I don't want to see any accidents happen in the next finals, including the intensity of the penalties. There must be no bias.

Your people kept their mouths shut while taking penalties on the field. I don't want to see the headquarters get smashed again, do you understand?

If negotiations with NBC cannot be resumed, everyone will be in trouble. Whoever dares to mess up, Hughes Blake is an example. "

"I understand, Mr. President."

……

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Bulls: Mutombo, Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper
SuperSonics: Laettner, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

In the NBC commentary box, Elgin Baylor said: "Our ratings for the G3 game dropped to 1700 million, which was a 1% drop compared to the G6 game. We fell from heaven to hell. Today, Iron Fist King is back. I hope the ratings can continue." return.

If we don’t come back, the NBA will be in big trouble, because our broadcast contract with NBC only has one year left. Now the new contract negotiations have been stopped due to the plummeting ratings. Even if it resumes in the future, the ratings will not increase. Come on, how big can the new contract offered by NBC be? "

Oscar Robertson sighed: "Racial discrimination against the league's signature star and current No. 1 in front of the whole world is the biggest scandal in the history of the NBA.

It even led to demonstrations by tens of thousands of people in New York, led to the smashing of the NBA headquarters, and caused great damage to the reputation of the NBA. It may even lead to a split within the league. "

"This time things are really big."

Elgin Baylor sighed and said: "The league has finally developed to its current scale. In recent years, under the influence of King of Iron Fist, the league's ratings have skyrocketed every year. This year it has increased by [-]%, which has doubled in total. , now his contribution to the league is no less than that of Magic Bird and Jordan."

Robertson nodded and said: "The finals have already been tied at 4 to [-]. Although the SuperSonics won one game first, they lost two games in a row. Now there are still two home games. In tonight's G[-] game, the SuperSonics must not lose. Yes, if you lose it, the Bulls will get the match point."

"Winning, drawing, or losing, this finals is basically over. There has never been a comeback from [-]-[-] down in the history of the finals," Elgin Baylor said.

"After falling behind [-]-[-] in the finals, the mentality of the players will change. The psychological pressure will be very high and there will definitely be problems with the state, so it is almost impossible to come back." Robertson nodded.

Elgin Baylor received a notice from the on-site director at this time and said excitedly: "I want to tell you some good news. So far, the ratings have reached 3500 million."

"Awesome!" Robertson said excitedly.

In New York, in front of the TV, David Stern also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the ratings did not return to the G1 game, the situation has stabilized now. After the game starts, the ratings should still increase somewhat.

At this time, the starter starts and the visiting team goes first.

"Shh!"

Huge boos rang out. Even when Jordan was on the court, the SuperSonics fans didn't save any face. They booed as loudly as they could and for as long as they could.

"Oh oh oh……"

When the home team took the field, cheers began to sweep through the central gymnasium.

"Iron Fist! Iron Fist..."

When Zhou Quan made his final appearance, the scene was filled with shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Zhou Quan greeted his friends on the sidelines, greeted the governor, mayor, and congressmen, and when he was about to warm up, he was stopped by Mayor York Anderson.
