"I indeed didn't suffer a loss yesterday, but over the past month, while I was gritting my teeth and bearing it, I have been continuously bullied—McGinnis has been insulting me, and there were others. LeBron turned a blind eye; is this really what you call a team leader? I don't want to endure it anymore, so I fought back!"
"Fortunately, I protected myself!"
"But if I don't speak out about this, maybe I would be labeled as a team brawler, an unsupportive teammate. I'm an international player, and I need to uphold the image of international players. I can't give them the opportunity to sling mud at me..."
Zhu became increasingly agitated as he spoke, half-remembering the words Su Wan had taught him, but seeing the reaction from the reporters in front of him, he felt the effect had been achieved and promptly delivered his closing statement, "I hope the League gives me an explanation. I demand an apology from McGinnis, and as the team leader, LeBron owes me an apology too!"
