God of NBA point guards

Chapter 112 Knicks' Dasha and Ersha

"Rogge, I want to bring a car back to China from the United States, please help me go to the Consulate General in Los Angeles to inquire about the relevant procedures."

"OK, I'll get it done right away."

He called Philip, who immediately agreed.

Soon after, Roger Philip drove to the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles in the West District of Los Angeles. After communication, two staff members from China received him.

"Sir, hello, I'm Liu Bin, Counselor of the Consulate General, and this is Huang Tian, ​​the translator."

"Hello, I'm Roger Philip, and I'm Zhou Quan's manager. Do you know him?"

The three of them came to a small room and introduced themselves first.

"Are you Zhou Quan's manager?" Huang Tian was startled, and quickly translated to Liu Bin.

"Yes, it seems that you know him." Philip laughed.

"of course."

Liu Bin nodded.

I knew three years ago that Zhou Quan was well-known in Los Angeles. As a diplomat, it was impossible for him not to pay attention.

And as Zhou Quan became more and more famous in the United States, the Consulate General paid more and more attention to him.

It is understood that Zhou Quan has not immigrated at present, and he has not even obtained a green card. He is on a work visa and is a real Chinese.

"What can I do, Mr. Philip?" he asked.

"That's it..."

Philip immediately told the story.

"I know this."

Zhou Quan is not the only one who wants to buy a car abroad and bring it back. Liu Bin immediately said: "In our country, private import of cars is not allowed. If he wants to bring a car back to China from the United States, he can only go to an import and export company."

"Please tell me the specific procedure." Philip took out a pen and paper.

Liu Bin continued: "The specific procedure is to find an automobile import and export company in the domestic bonded area and entrust them to import automobiles.

Cars need to pay 25% tariffs, 17% import value-added tax, about 9% purchase tax, and 1% to 40% import consumption tax.

Consumption tax and vehicle and vessel tax are both calculated based on vehicle displacement, and there are many differences. For off-road vehicles with more than 4 liters, it is 40%, and for SUVs with more than 3 liters, it is 25%.

Taxes plus the profits of the import and export company, as well as transportation and insurance fees, the price of a $10 car after it is registered in China will probably be between $12 and $[-]. "

After Philip left, Huang Tian asked: "Counselor Liu, shouldn't it be a good deal to buy a car from abroad and bring it back to China?"

Liu Bin said with a smile: "Our automobile industry has just begun to develop. In order to accumulate capital, domestically produced cars are not cheap. He bought a car from abroad, but it is not much more expensive. The key is that there are more choices. The models currently imported in China Relatively few."

On the other side, after Zhou Quan learned about the situation from Philip, he made some calculations and decided that he should take a car back from the United States.

But he doesn't plan to have a pickup truck or an off-road vehicle. After taking this car home, his dad can also drive it. It should be good to buy an SUV.

SUVs can also be driven in the countryside. If you go back to your hometown, a small car is not suitable, and you will definitely break the chassis if you drive a big Mercedes back.

SUVs have been popular in the United States since last year, and he also likes them very much. Last year, Ford launched an SUV called the Ford Explorer, and Chevrolet's is also good. There must be no such model imported in China.

He even thought it would be a good idea to open an import and export automobile company in China, but he didn't know if the current domestic consumer market was suitable.

"Rogge, what can you do about the car?"

"Zhou, this matter is very easy for you. You are a VIP customer of Citibank, so you can just entrust them directly. Citibank also has branches in China." Philip reminded.

"I forgot." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

His VIP level is not high, just an ordinary VIP, but it should be enough for this matter.

Soon, he contacted Citibank's own dedicated VIP account manager named Tom Hanks, and informed him of his needs.

"Zhou, I guarantee that your car will arrive in China before you return to China. We have the fastest shipping and shipping channels."

"Thank you!"

Then Zhou Quan informed the other party of the car he needed, and chose Shenzheng Customs to pick up the goods.

He chose a Ford Explorer produced by Ford in 90. This is currently the best-selling medium-sized SUV in the United States, with an annual sales volume of 30. It is still the first generation of Explorer. Compared with road driving, he prefers off-road driving , The engine is German, with a displacement of 4L. There are two-door and four-door models, and he chose the four-door model.

After finishing this matter, he took the newspaper back from the mailbox outside, then got some food, sat down to eat while flipping through the newspaper.

"The performance of a superstar, Iron Fist used his breakthrough to blow up Pat Riley's iron-blooded defense." Detroit Worker Daily.

"Amazing performance, Iron Fist Slaughter shines in playoffs, Pistons make best pick in '91 draft." Detroit Athletic.

“26分8篮板10助攻5抢断，铁拳在首轮G1战中的豪华表现，让他成为决定胜负的关键因素。”洛杉矶日报。

"We lost to a rookie, that's it." New York Athletic.

"Patrick Ewing is disappointing, and he's not even as efficient as a rookie point guard." The New York Times.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that even the New York media had to recognize his performance, Zhou Quan was quite happy.

After breakfast, he drove to the supermarket to buy some necessities.

Wal-Mart is very close to the community. In this kind of high-end suburban community, everything is very convenient and relatively safe.

"Oh, Iron Fist."

As soon as I entered the supermarket, I was surrounded by several staff members and customers.

I bought a lot of things in the supermarket and filled the entire refrigerator, enough to last for a week.

At noon, he had lunch at a restaurant. In the afternoon, he went to the private training hall to do emergency stop and jump shot training. The last round of tasks has been done 3600 times, and he hopes to complete them before the first round of the series.

"Zhou, good news. Today you sold more than 2000 pairs of sneakers, which is even better than the day it was launched. Keep working hard."

At six o'clock in the evening, the agent Philip called. His superstar performance last night was reflected in the sales of his sneakers.

He calculated, 25 dollars a pair, more than 2000 pairs, is 30 dollars, if this sales volume is maintained during the playoffs, then his sales task will be completed more easily.

Therefore, in any case, this first-round series must be won as much as possible.

That night, ESPN TV broadcast an interview video, which was a news clip of their reporter interviewing Magic Johnson.

This superstar who has just retired for one season due to illness, and an epoch-making great point guard, still has a lot of appeal.

"Erwin, what do you think of Tekken's performance in G1?" the reporter asked.

"For that one game, he deserves any praise. Yeah, he was unmatched on both ends of the floor and deserves any praise."

Magic Johnson said in an admiring tone.

"How do you evaluate him? His performance last night was not even weaker than your performance in the rookie season finals, of course it was just one game." The reporter asked again.

Magic Johnson said while thinking: "I have been paying attention to him, and you should know the reason. He is a local player in Los Angeles. I knew him when I was in the Bruins.

I also watched some of his games at the Great Western Forum, not only basketball games, but also ice hockey games, and his first tryout team was the Lakers, unfortunately we missed him.

According to my observation, his sense of space is very good, and his use of space is getting better and better.What is the sense of space, what is the meaning of the use of space, maybe you do not know very well. "

"No, Erwin, I understand it very well. I am a boxing fan, and I am a fan of Michael Tyson's boxing. His sense of space is the best." The reporter immediately said excitedly.

Magic Johnson also smiled and said: "Yes, I am also a fan of Michael's boxing. Because of his top-level sense of space, his shaking and flashing has reached the top level, and he can even dodge the opponent's combination punches continuously.

But Muhammad Ali's sense of space is actually the best. He often uses continuous, unbelievable shakes and flashes to make the opponent's continuous attack an ineffective attack and let the opponent consume a lot of physical energy for nothing. "

"No no, I think Michael's is better."

"But I think Ali's is better."

"Do not……"

"I insist."

"Oh, okay, okay, Erwin, please let's get back to business, shall we?" the reporter said helplessly.

Magic Johnson laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about basketball. A sense of space is an essential quality for a top boxer, and as a basketball point guard, if you want to be a top-level one, you must also have this quality. It Allows a point guard to accurately observe the entire court.

Yes, what I am talking about is vision. A sense of space is one of the indispensable qualities of vision, and vision is one of the necessary qualities of passing. Therefore, for a point guard, without a good sense of space, he cannot Be a good point guard, or a top point guard.

As for Iron Fist, according to my observation, he has a top-level sense of space.I mean, in this one quality, he has the potential to be a top point guard. "

"Then do you think he can replicate last night's performance in the next playoffs?" The reporter asked again.

"Every player has their moments. Some of them can even break out for one season and then fall to mediocrity. Then last night may be the day when Iron Fist broke out."

Speaking of this, Magic Johnson changed the subject, but said: "But I don't think his performance last night was accidental. Maybe he can't play that kind of performance every night. To be honest, no one can do it." , including me, including Bird, but I believe he can still play like that."

In Philadelphia, Charles Barkley is going on vacation.

He wanted to go to Los Angeles to find a pier to fish first. Before the All-Star Game, he had the opportunity to go to the Lakers, but unfortunately Philadelphia suspended the transaction, which he still regrets to this day.

However, seeing Magic Johnson's interview news, he immediately thought of Iron Fist's solicitation, and also thought of Iron Fist's performance last night, and couldn't help but be moved.

"Even if he performs at a super level, the kid will not be bad in the future. If I go to the Pistons, with my qualifications, I will definitely be the boss and be the core directly. At least before the kid grows up, I will definitely be the core. Find another one or two. With a helper, maybe we can win the championship, why don't you ask the agent to talk to the management?"

"However, that kid's attitude changed last time. He doesn't seem to care about me anymore. Do I still have the cheek to go to Detroit? Being rejected by a rookie is not a good thing."

He thought about it, but couldn't make up his mind.

Now the management of the Philadelphia Digital team is determined to trade him. He is determined to go. If he can go to a team that has a chance to win the championship, of course it will be the best result.

Forget it, he can't decide where to go anyway, and it's useless to talk to the management. If he can talk well, he has already gone to the Lakers, and the management can't let him choose to trade the team.

When he thought of this, he was very depressed. As a superstar, he was just a commodity and could not decide his own destiny at all.

……

That night, four more first-round games began.

最终，公牛在主场以94：113的比分大胜热火，骑士在主场以113：120的比分击败蓝网，开拓者在主场以102：115的比分击败湖人，爵士在主场以97：115击败快船。

No upsets, all home wins.

In the eight first-round G1 games, only the Warriors were defeated by the Sonics at home last night, which was barely an upset.

周权特别关注了死对手乔丹的表现，34投21中，命中率高达61.8%，4罚4中，真实命中率高达64.3%，轰下46分11篮板9助攻3抢断1盖帽5失误4犯规的超豪华准三双数据。

"The performance is too strong!"

After watching the game, he only had this feeling. This kind of Jordan is better than any NBA player he has ever seen. It is really hard to beat.

In addition, the performance of the Bulls backup center Wilperdo was also very outstanding. He made 8 of 6 shots and scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, which was the team's second scoring point.

This outstanding performance, the Pistons, not to mention the bench lineup, even the main lineup, no one can compare with it.

Fortunately, Wil Perdo is just a role player. This game should be played at a super level, so don't worry too much.

"Super level?"

Thinking of this word, he couldn't help scratching his head, because he also performed super-level last night, would those superstars think of him that way?
……

On the 25th, the G2 match day.

Zhou Quan woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, and he was in good spirits. After a day and two nights of rest, he felt that his physical fitness was recovering relatively well.

In the morning, I went to the private training hall. With the help of Swildon, I had a two-hour emergency stop jump shot training. I went to the headquarters at noon and trained with the team in the afternoon.

"Trouble, it will take at least two days for Dennis' injury to get better. We can't expect his performance tonight."

Chuck Daly focused on Rodman's training status, but was disappointed.

Assistant coach Ray Lowell nodded and said: "Chuck, I think Isiah's training state today is better than the day before yesterday, and it is worth looking forward to."

Rick Musk also nodded: "If Isiah can support the bench lineup, it will be of great help to the team, and the pressure on Iron Fist will be much less."

"Hopefully he'll do better."

Chuck Daly observed the Assassins again, then observed Mark Aguirre, and said: "Mark's performance is quite stable and can provide some help, but unfortunately he has no defense."

He observed Zhou Quan's training status again, and found that he was not active in running, so he couldn't help sighing: "Iron Fist fought too hard in the first round."

At this time, Musk whispered: "Chuck, we may strategically give up tonight's game, so that both Rodman and Iron Fist have more recovery time."

"No."

Daly did not agree, saying: "You can control their playing time, but you must not give up the game. Our Pistons have no tradition of giving up the game."

It's not that he has never thought of this idea before, but if he gives up the game at home, the fans will not agree, and it will also hurt morale.

And there will definitely be various problems in the series. Today, if you are injured, you have to give up, and tomorrow if you are not fit enough, you have to give up. If you give up the game if there is a problem, you may have to give up all the games.

Of course, when it comes to the game, he will make adjustments on the spot and make arrangements depending on the situation, and he will not consume the team's potential in the series just for one game.

After the training, Zhou Quan did not go home, but had dinner at the headquarters, and then took the team bus to the Palace of Auburn Hills together.

The Palace of Auburn Hills is nearly 90 kilometers away from the headquarters, and it takes an hour to drive by himself. He doesn't plan to drive by himself anymore, and he can take a break by taking the bus.

At 06:30, the Pistons came out of the parking lot and went to the corridor of the locker room. They ran into the Knicks who had just come out of the restaurant and were about to go back to the locker room.

"let's go."

When Oakley saw it, he quickly quickened his pace and led the people ahead of the Pistons.

"Hold on."

Suddenly remembering Oakley provoking him in G1, Zhou Quan rushed forward and blocked Ewing and Oakley who were walking in the front.

"Boy, what do you want to do?"

There was a flash of hostility in Oakley's eyes, and he said sharply: "Don't think you can fight, you provoke me, and you have a big fight, how do you guys play in the playoffs?"

The smile on Zhou Quan's face did not change, but his mouth was quite disdainful: "Old bird, who are you scaring? If you dare to make crooked moves against us, I will just watch you and this superstar. , then Mr. Pat Riley will skin you."

Oakley twitched his face, you cunning boy, are you too difficult to deal with?If Zhou Quan did what he said, he really wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Zhou Quan tapped Oakley's chest and said: "So don't provoke me, I'm talking big, you and Ewing are tied together, I still have the ability of one against two, don't forget that is my specialty."

"Go away!"

With a snap, Oakley opened Zhou Quan's hand angrily.

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Quan chuckled twice, waved his hand, and led his teammates away first.

"Shet!"

Seeing that the Pistons were ahead, Oakley cursed angrily again.

Anthony Mason stepped forward and said wisely, "Boss, it's best not to give him a chance, and don't believe what he says."

"What do you mean?" Oakley asked impatiently.

Anthony Mason said with contempt on his face: "Boss, I told you to read more, you always fight, look, your brain is not working well now, isn't it? Nix is ​​talking about you."

"Oh!"

Oakley punched Mason in the stomach and cursed: "How dare you say I'm stupid? I warn you, kid, don't call me boss."

Mason has nothing to do, but he said eagerly: "Boss, I have a thick neck now, remind you again, people with thick necks are not easy to mess with, so don't hit me in the future, you know? If I fight back, you It’s too bad, it must be the second Lambiel, maybe the league will force you to retire.”

"..."

Oakley was stunned, and really stopped.

"Pfft!"

Two idiot John Starks couldn't help laughing.

"John, the boss is the big idiot, and you are the second idiot. You are the one who is talking about the idiot." Anthony Mason turned around and said.

"..."

John Starks was instantly furious.

"Ha ha……"

A group of Knicks players were already laughing, and even Ewing fell against the wall laughing.

Oakley only felt a toothache. He was beaten by the iron fist and his younger brother. He, the four villains, was too aggrieved.

Mason said wisely again: "Boss, he just said that we use crooked moves, but in fact he is the best at making crooked moves, so not only can we not provoke him on the court, but we must avoid conflicts with him.

He also said just now that once a conflict occurs, he will stare at you and Patrick. Once that happens, we will be in trouble. "

"Don't you have a thick neck?" Oakley said angrily.

Mason said with an aggrieved face: "Boss, you are stupid if you say you are stupid? I have a thick neck, but I am a substitute. If I am off the court when a conflict occurs, his movements are so fast that you can hardly punch him. How can I save you in time? So the key question is that you are too good, not whether my neck is thick or not."

"I'm too good? I'll kill you!"

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Oakley flew into a rage and swung his old fist at Anthony Mason.

Mason ran away and yelled, "Boss, the point is that you're too good-for-nothing, and you like to provoke him, but you can't deal with him. It's very troublesome. Can't you just let me wipe your ass all the time?"

"I can't kill you? Don't run!"

Oakley chased after him angrily.

The second idiot, John Starks, also hurriedly followed up, and also called his teammates: "Hurry up and keep up, so that the two of them won't be left alone. This is the territory of Iron Fist."

"Have these Knicks gone crazy?"

"possible."

Seeing groups of Knicks players running wildly in the corridor, some staff members couldn't help cursing.
