Chapter 209 It will definitely be exciting to kill the only super giant’s dream of three consecutive championships with your own hands.

At this time, some stars were being interviewed by the media on the spot.

"Ervin, the Bulls lost the G1 game at home, do you have anything to say about this?" the reporter asked.

Magic Johnson shook his head in admiration and said: "Tonight's game reminds me of last year's Eastern Conference Finals. The Bulls lost the G2 game, but tonight they lost the G1 game. This is the first home game.

Tonight’s loss is even worse than last year’s loss in G2.”

"So Ervin, where do you think the Bulls lost? Or rather, where did the Pistons win?" the reporter asked again.

Johnson obviously wanted to express something, and immediately said: "Technology and tactics are too passive, just following the Pistons. This is the most important reason why the Bulls lost.

The Pistons used their iron fist to defend MJ alone, locking out others and taking advantage. They were always ahead of the Bulls, so the Bulls followed suit and wanted to use the Pistons' method to deal with the Pistons.

But the Pistons changed and began to double-team MJ, catching the Bulls and MJ off guard. Then the Pistons' tactics kept changing, and the Bulls kept adapting and following behind. They never took the initiative and never took the lead, which ultimately led to the loss.

ball."

The reporter asked: "Ervin, how important do you think Tie Fist's performance tonight is for the Pistons to win?"

Magic smiled and said: "Not bad, he did a lot of things, scoring, assisting, and defending."

"That's all? Ervin, don't you think he is the decisive factor in the Pistons' win?" the reporter asked in surprise.

Magic Johnson shook his head and said: "Individuals can never override the team. Techniques and tactics are the decisive factor in the Pistons' win tonight."

In his mind, he said at this moment: "Sorry, Iron Fist, I can't praise you. You should leave Detroit instead of staying there."

On the other side, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also being interviewed by the media, and the person interviewing him was actually Bill Walton.

The two are alumni. Bill Walton entered the league five years later. They are both Hall of Fame members and the most famous basketball superstar at UCLA. Naturally, they have a good relationship. After Bill Walton finished the live broadcast, he immediately ran down to interview Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"Kareem, tell me, why were the Pistons able to win the G1 game?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said with a smile: "In addition to skills and tactics, Iron Fist played a key role. His organizational ability is amazing. It was his passing passes again and again that allowed his teammates to score easily and played an efficient game."

Offense, this is the key factor for the Pistons to win tonight.

His defense is also very critical. Most of the time, he defended MJ alone. Although he still allowed MJ to shoot more than 50% from the field and score 43 points.

Don't think that his defense is not good, that's MJ, and MJ often uses pick-and-rolls to get rid of Tekken's defense, and then catches the ball. If MJ really faced Tekken in singles, I think it would be difficult for him to score more than 50%.

hit rate.

In addition, his offense is also good, his offense is getting better and better, more and more stable, and his scoring is becoming more and more crucial to the team."

The two of them ended the interview around that time and started chatting when they came together.

"Karim, you always praise Iron Fist, which makes Mr. West and Bass a little unhappy with you." The magician reminded.

He cooperated with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and won five championships with the Lakers, creating the famous Show Time era.

, the only regret is that there is no dynasty that has won three consecutive championships.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar smiled and said: "Sorry, Erwin, you are a minority shareholder of the team, I am not. In addition, I have not received any tasks from them. Of course, even if they ask me, I cannot agree.

Yes, because I am an alumnus of Iron Fist."

Hearing this, the magician couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed and said: "Okay, I'm just kidding, Erwin, don't mind. In fact, it's impossible for me not to praise Iron Fist. His performance is indeed worthy of praise, isn't it?"

Magic could only nod, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar added: "As I said just now, I am his alumnus. It is impossible for me to belittle him or ignore his performance. I am afraid that I will be criticized by all UCLA alumni."

An hour later, the post-match press conference began.

"Michael, tonight was a complete failure. The Bulls did not lead once in the game. What do you think the Bulls' chances of advancing are?" a reporter from the New York Times asked.

Jordan's expression was very bad, and he said simply: "Yes, we were careless, we will come back, please believe us."

"With the strength of the Pistons, they swept the Hornets and defeated you twice in the regular season. You should not be careless. So what do you think caused your carelessness? Is it arrogance?" the reporter asked.

Jordan's expression became even worse, with a stern face, but he moved the microphone in front of him a little away, obviously not knowing how to answer this question.

The host quickly took back the microphone and gave it to a reporter from the Chicago Sports News.

"Coach Phil Jackson, Michael said he was careless. So in tonight's game, our tactics were very passive. Who do you think is responsible for this? Was it the coaching staff's lack of attention to the Pistons that led to carelessness?" The reporter

asked.

This time it was Phil Jackson's turn to look bad. Although his face had been looking bad tonight, he was unable to refute because his on-the-spot command was really bad tonight.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "The coaching staff has some problems. We will work overtime until dawn tonight until we come up with tactics for the next game."

"Michael, if we lose the G2 game, do you think the Bulls will be swept by the Pistons?" The next question was from a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News. The question he asked made Jordan explode.

"This is impossible."

Jordan turned pale with anger, stood up suddenly, pushed away the chair and left.

The Bulls' press conference ended unhappy, but the atmosphere on the Pistons' side was very harmonious and relaxed.

After Zhou Quan sat down behind the long table, he saw the CCTV cameras. Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping were behind him, so he waved to them.

The host was also very discerning. After entering the question session, the first opportunity to ask questions was given to CCTV.

Zhang Liji cheerfully took the microphone handed over by the staff, asked two decent questions, such as are you happy to win, and then ended the question.

"Iron Fist, what chance do you think we have of winning G2?" a reporter from the Detroit Daily Worker asked.

"Well, the Bulls will not be willing to lose the second home game, so they will definitely counterattack with all their strength in the next game. They want to win two consecutive away games against the Bulls. You also know how difficult it is. We will not deliberately increase the pressure on ourselves.

, try your best." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Iron Fist, what do you think of the trade incident? Will you choose to leave Detroit?" a Chicago Sports reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Sorry, I won't consider this issue at the moment. I have no comment on any issues that have nothing to do with the playoffs."

"Iron Fist, do you think ESPN should revise their predictions for the Pistons' championship?" a New York Times reporter asked.

Zhou Quan was startled, laughed, and nodded: "I don't want to say how wrong and ridiculous their data is, but in fact it's hard for me to find anything worthy of recognition. I want to say that they definitely underestimated Sanlian.

The difficulty of the crown.

The Bulls want to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals this time, and I have only one attitude..."

At this point, the smile on his face disappeared and he said very seriously: "The victory in tonight's game has boosted our morale and our confidence in victory.

Trust us, we're going to give the Bulls a hell of a second-round series and knock them out.

We firmly believe that we will ride on the carcass of a bull to reach the Eastern Conference Finals."

…

“Iron Fist’s bold statement is that he will knock out the Bulls and give Michael Jordan a hellish series.” New York Daily News.

"Iron Fist accuses ESPN of ridiculous championship odds!" Los Angeles Daily News.

"MJ was unable to make a comeback, the Bulls missed the G1 game, and the difficulty of advancing to the second round doubled. The road to three consecutive championships encountered the biggest obstacle." Cleveland's Honest Daily.

"Phil Jackson should bear the greatest responsibility for the defeat of the G1 game. His technical and tactical command was extremely failed." Detroit Autobot Daily.

“The most important reason why the Bulls lost is that Michael Jordan, the king of empty cuts, played alone.” Detroit Worker Daily.

"According to relevant news, before the G1 game, Michael Jordan also gambled with his teammates." Detroit Sports News.

"According to reliable internal information, the conflict between management and Iron Fist has been intensified due to the transaction incident, and Iron Fist has a 95% chance of applying for the transaction." Chicago Daily News.

"According to information from Tekken's agent Roger Philippe, Tekken has intended to leave Detroit and will apply for a trade after the end of the season." Chicago Sports News.

The next day, the major media outlets were full of comments. The victorious Pistons were praised, and the losing Bulls were criticized.

The Pistons' playing style is no longer the style of the bad boy era. There is no media criticism for the Pistons' victory.

In addition, Zhou Quan’s trading news and Jordan’s gambling news were also uncovered.

"Zhou, how did you calculate this 95% probability?"

In Christina Yerry's hotel room, she asked curiously while flipping through the Chicago Daily News.

"You can figure it out as soon as your brain twitches." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Poof!"

Christina laughed and asked: "So are you really going to leave Detroit?"

Zhou Quan put down the newspaper in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about this issue carefully yet. Let's talk about it after the playoffs."

This transaction incident has actually touched him, reminding him of the violence in the locker room when he first joined the team.

In fact, the Pistons never left a good impression on him from the beginning, and this time it was even worse. He had no memories of his home team.

"So you have no problem with management?"

"Yes, of course, I was promised to be the future of the team, but then we reached the Eastern Conference Finals, but the management secretly traded me and showed no sincerity. This was deceiving me. If it hadn't been for Si

President Train vetoed the deal, and now I'm in Philadelphia, not Detroit."
