Penerjemah: 549690339
The fallout from the Bucks and Wizards game gradually fermented.
Jordan's absence from the post-game press conference attracted even more media attention.
The next day, Jordan's agent, David Falk, came forward to clarify the rumor that "Jordan felt too ashamed to face the reporters": "Many people don't know what Michael is going through. He's almost 40 years old. His body is bearing a heavy burden. After last night's game, he felt unwell, so we went to the hospital, where the doctor drained fluid from his knee."
This explanation did not win the media's acceptance or understanding.
They still wanted to hear Jordan's thoughts on the game.
Then Falk conveyed Jordan's views on last night's game for him: "Everyone played terribly, there are no excuses, Michael said this is the most fragile team he's been with."
Some things are better left unsaid; once mentioned, they can easily trigger a chain reaction.
The most fragile team?
