God of NBA point guards

Chapter 135 Michael Jordan Failed to Compete for Favor

"Dennis, where are you going?" Chuck Daly asked seriously, dissatisfied.

"Coach, Madonna is pestering me, she seems to be interested in me, I had to deal with it a few words." Rodman said with a smile.

"Are you crazy, Dennis?"

Seeing Rodman's smug look, Chuck Daly immediately scolded: "You've only been married for a while, don't mess around outside."

"Chuck, I don't. She is interested in me." Rodman was still afraid of Daly, so he immediately distinguished.

Chuck Daly said dissatisfiedly: "This is the Eastern Conference Finals, Dennis, you were not in good shape, and you only grabbed 9 rebounds today, and your defensive performance is average. Can you put more energy on the game?"

"Understood, coach." Rodman said with a smile.

"Hey Dennis, what did you say to Madonna?" Darnell Walker yelled as soon as Rodman entered the bathroom.

Rodman proudly said: "She asked me for my contact information, and then asked me what kind of woman I like and which song I like by her. We talked a lot."

"She won't ask you about your duration?" Walker asked enviously.

"That's what we'll talk about next time." Rodman laughed.

"Dennis, I think you two should lie down and talk next time," the assassin said.

"Ha ha……"

There was hilarious laughter in the bathroom, but it diluted the shadow of losing the game.

Rodman said excitedly again: "Do you know that my charm surpasses that of Michael Jordan."

"How?" Joe Dumas asked curiously.

Rodman smiled and said: "When I was talking to Madonna just now, he came over to strike up a conversation and wanted to make an appointment for lunch tomorrow, but was rejected, and Madonna didn't even want to pay attention to him."

"Oh, Dennis, congratulations, you beat Michael Jordan." Darnell Walker screamed.

"Of course, Madonna's eyes prove everything." Rodman laughed.

Darnell Walker encouraged: "Come on, Dennis, climb into Madonna's bed early, then take a picture and send it to Michael Jordan."

"Puchi, haha..." The bathroom erupted in laughter.

Zhou Quan, who was on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly. A man who has money will turn bad. Has Rodman, an honest boy, started to turn bad?
But this has nothing to do with him, this is Rodman's private matter, he just hopes that it will not affect the playoffs.

After washing up, a press conference was held.

"Iron Fist, after losing the G1 game, do you think your chances of being swept by Michael have increased?" A reporter from the Chicago Sports News asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Sir, the Bulls just won their first home game, so don't get too carried away.

I'm here to say something, if we win the first away game tonight, we even have enough confidence to kill the Bulls in the series. "

"Impossible." The reporter said angrily.

"So don't think that winning a home game is so great." Zhou Quan smiled.

At this time, the staff went to collect the reporter's microphone, but the reporter grabbed the microphone and asked again: "Tiequan, you are the king of wave shooting today, with less than [-]% of your hits, what did you do for your loss?" You have made a huge contribution, do you think today's performance is passing?"

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "I have to admit that Michael Jordan's defense is indeed strong, and I should be responsible for this loss."

"Do not."

At this time, Chuck Daly took the microphone in front of Zhou Quan and said: "The team's loss is not the responsibility of one person. Iron Fist's style of play is also carried out according to tactics, so the loss is the responsibility of all of us, and it is also our responsibility." Including our coaching staff.

As for his performance, I think it's great. With Jordan's full defense, he scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. This is the data of a superstar, and he is proud enough. "

……

On May 5, the media continued to praise Jordan's performance last night.

"As the Pistons' first shot, with less than [-]% of their shots, Tekken should bear the greatest responsibility for the loss."

"With a rookie as the core, failure is inevitable, and it will be inevitable to be swept again."

For Zhou Quan, the media in Chicago and New York made a big fuss about offensive efficiency and relegated him to the gutter.

But there are still many media who recognize his performance. After all, the data of 20+10+7+3 is there. The only flaw is that the shooting rate is a little lower. Will elevate to superstar status.

On this day, Zhou Quan didn't do anything, he didn't even pay attention to the news from the media, he just rested and tried his best to recover his physical fitness.

He has played in the NCAA for two years. Because he played basketball and ice hockey at the same time, his physical fitness was top-notch when he entered the league. He did not encounter an obvious rookie wall in his rookie season, but after entering the playoffs, his physical reserves were still insufficient. Phenomenon.

During dinner, the agent Philip called and told him that today's sneaker sales reached 45 US dollars.

For him, this is a very good data. If the entire Eastern Conference Finals series has this data every day, then the $800 million sales should have a chance to be completed.

That night, the western G2 battle started.

In the end, the Blazers beat the Jazz again at home, 102:119, winning by 17 points.

The four Jazz scored in double figures, among which the Malone Brothers and John Stockton scored 20+, but were unable to win.

Among them, John Stockton made 13 of 9 shots, and his shooting percentage was close to 11%, which was higher than that of Jordan. However, he only had 6 assists, but he had 5 turnovers and [-] fouls.

Although he scored 24 points, as a point guard, his assist-to-turnover ratio was only 1.83, which did not reach the passing level of 2.

While the organization is weak, the defensive end is the same as the previous game, without a single steal. For him who averaged three steals per game in the regular season, this is also unqualified.

The Jazz had only 19 assists, 16 turnovers, and 6 steals, while the Blazers had 28, 9, and 11 respectively, and all statistics fell behind.

For the Trail Blazers in this game, the main shooting guard Tribert stood up and broke through the whole process with unlimited lethality. He made 14 of 12 shots and a terrifying 85.7% shooting percentage. He made 14 of 13 free throws and scored 41 points. Jordan was even crazier last night.

Glider Drexler, contrary to his mediocre performance on the court, also scored 36 points and shot 52.2% from the field. He also made a lot of breakthroughs and was full of lethality. He made 10 of 9 free throws. Steal 12 rebounds.

After watching the game, Zhou Quan became more and more afraid of the bulls.

Where did the Blazers win just now? The glider and Tribert's breakthrough with the ball can not only improve the offensive efficiency, but also cause damage, and attack the Jazz's internal defensive strength, killing two birds with one stone.

The breakthrough is so powerful and the lethality is daunting. Even if the Pistons hit it, it would be a headache, but what about the Bulls?

Jordan's breakthrough ability is definitely only stronger than the glider and Tribert, but last night's G1 battle did not show too much, that is to say, Jordan has not yet exerted his full strength.

Only Jordan who crazily broke through to the basket is the most terrifying Jordan. The Pistons have not even forced the strongest Jordan in the G1 game.

"Breakthrough? How to break through in front of Jordan?" He began to think about this question repeatedly.

It's not that he can't get past Jordan. Today, he made ten free throws. This is still an away game. How about a home game? Today, he must have more free throw opportunities.

So many free throws mean that he hit Jordan many times.

However, the quality of the breakthrough is not high, there is no way to completely drop Jordan, it can only be said that he barely made the breakthrough, and his absolute speed is still not very fast. The probability of being double-teamed after entering the paint area is also very high.

He can indeed pass the ball in the crowd, but just because he can, doesn't mean he can pass it every time. Many times he can't pass it, so he can only make a forced shot and hit the iron.

So how to improve the breakthrough quality?
"Increase the sprint distance and increase the impact force."

This is the method he can think of now, under the circumstances that he cannot improve the level of breakthrough technology, and cannot increase the absolute speed at present.

"coach……"

Before leaving, he shared the idea with Daly.

"Speed ​​up?"

Chuck Daly said thoughtfully: "Increasing the offensive rhythm is a way. As long as you charge up, even Jordan can be knocked over. But in this way, sometimes the turnover will be high."

The assassin also came over to participate in the discussion and said, "I think it's feasible. With Iron Fist's ability to control and pass the ball, the speed can be increased."

Joe Dumars reminded: "Jordan and Pippen are not slow. Their return speed is very fast. Be careful, but you can try."

"Go to bed first, let me think about it."

Chuck Daly thumped his head. He was getting older and felt his brain was a little rigid.

There is a problem with the use of Zhou Quan, which also means that there should be a problem with the way of cultivating Zhou Quan.

Both he and the management hope that Zhou Quan will become the next assassin, so the training direction is also an offensive point guard, and there is no restriction on his shots.

But thinking about it now, there is a problem.

On the 20th, the Eastern Conference Finals G2 match day.

In the morning, the headlines on the front pages of major media were all about Jordan.

The media generally predict that Jordan will continue to play a super-explosive performance, and take advantage of the home court to lead the team to victory again.

Zhou Quan got up in the morning and flipped through the newspaper on the dining table.

Not to mention him, even Trail Blazers all-star shooting guard Terry Burt, who had a superstar performance last night, didn't see any relevant news, at most he mentioned it in one sentence.

The news related to the NBA is all about Jordan, from words to photos, from court performance to gossip, there are too many.

He was so calm, he was a little envious.

If he has such publicity resources, what kind of fart is $800 million in sales?No wonder Jordan's shoes can sell hundreds of millions a year now.

"Huh, is this?"

He turned to the Los Angeles Daily, saw a headline on the front page, and just the headline made him laugh out loud.

"What news?" Joe Dumas asked curiously.

Zhou Quan handed over the newspaper and said with a smile: "The Los Angeles Daily said that Michael Jordan and Dennis competed for the favor of Madonna. The title was the male favorite, and the trapeze lost."

"Pfft!"

"what?"

"Dennis, you are going to be famous, haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Rodman didn't care about male favourites, and said triumphantly, "I've won Michael Jordan's braised egg. Madonna doesn't like bald men."

The breakfast table of the Pistons became lively, and it took an hour to finish eating.

……

"Damn Los Angeles media!"

In Jordan's mansion, with a thrust, he tore the Los Angeles Journal in half in rage.

His wife, Juanita, took care of her second son Marcus Jordan, who was just over one year old, and asked in surprise: "Michael, what news is so angry, show me."

Jordan quickly tore the newspaper to shreds, and said casually, "It's nothing, the media is talking nonsense and talking about my gambling again."

On the other side, Detroit, Rodman's home, Anne Banks also saw the news, and she was going crazy.

Because she was taking care of the children, she didn't go to Chicago with her. She didn't expect her husband to be seduced by another woman in just two days.

When she thought that the woman was Madonna, she despaired, because she knew that Rodman could not refuse Madonna, she was a famous woman, a top-notch famous woman, and based on her fame, no one could refuse to climb into her bed .

At the moment, she called Rodman on the phone, and a war broke out between the two on the phone.

"Dennis, you actually hooked up with Madonna outside? We have only been married for two or three months, and you cheated? You bloody bastard!"

"I didn't. This is the media's nonsense. Damn it, Anne, you throw away those newspapers and leave them alone."

After the quarrel, Rodman hung up the phone, but Anne Banks called again, and there was another quarrel, he hung up again, called again, and finally he turned off the mobile phone.

……

"Coach, I'm going out for a while and have lunch with a friend."

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Rodman asked Chuck Daly for leave with a happy face.

Chuck Daly's nose twitched. The perfume smelled a bit strong and irritating. He glanced at Rodman, who was dressed up beautifully, and found that the big bug still had two big golden earrings hanging on his ears. , This shocked him, and asked angrily: "With your wife? Don't tell me that she is in Chicago, she is helping you take care of the children in Detroit."

Rodman was a little embarrassed, but said excitedly: "It's Madonna, she asked me out, she just had a simple meal, she won't do anything else, Chuck, you trust me."

"Dennis, there is still a game tonight and training in the afternoon, how long do you plan to go?" Chuck Daly asked blankly.

He really can't handle this kind of thing, and he can't handle it.

If he does not agree, with Rodman's temperament, he will not train well, and it will even affect his state in the game.

"Oh, I'll be right back after lunch."

Rodman saw that Papa Chuck was not very happy, and said quickly.

"Go back quickly."

Daly waved away people, and when Rodman was smiling, he said sternly: "Dennis, Troy Weaver is about to take over as the general manager, you have never been able to get along with him, and you are so important in the playoffs." Injuries continued during the time spent, which seriously affected the strength of the team. If you make some tricks, such as missing training, maybe he will trade you after he takes the position."

"I see, coach. I'll be right back after lunch." Rodman nodded with a grim expression on his face.
