After the second game at the Portland Memorial Coliseum, something happened in the visiting team's locker room.
The consecutive defeats sent the Detroit Pistons' mood to rock bottom, everyone was silent, immersed in the depression of failure.
Chuck Daly was unable to speak loudly due to the pain in his nasal bone and could not communicate normally with players during the second game, the venue was too noisy.
He could only tell Versace what he wanted to say, letting Versace relay it to the team members, which sapped Daly's command of any passion, and a crushing defeat was inevitable.
Dennis Rodman was the last to enter the locker room, and the 26-year-old rookie kicked the door vigorously, startling everyone.
Then, showing no sense of a rookie's awareness, Rodman began to shout at every member of the team and criticize each of his teammates for playing like cowards.
