As soon as the punishment result was announced, cheers erupted outside the Hyatt Hotel.
A two-game suspension was indeed the best outcome. With the Trail Blazers leading 1:0, even if they lost two straight games, being behind 1:2 was still manageable.
Moreover, the Pistons had also lost Isiah Thomas, so it wasn't clear which team was stronger or weaker.
Upon receiving the news firsthand, Wu Zhixiong immediately called Gan Guoyang's home to inform him of the outcome.
After Wang Fuxi finished the call, he relayed the message to Gan Guoyang, who was feeding a child.
"Michael, he peed, hand me the diaper... Diaper, diaper! That's a napkin!"
Michael Jackson had been staying at Gan Guoyang's house for the past couple of days, waiting for the outcome of the punishment and taking the opportunity to rest in Portland, away from the relentless pursuit of Los Angeles reporters.
