God of NBA point guards

Chapter 176 Season Tasks
"Keep the Chicago Bulls underfoot!"

At noon, Zhou Quan's words spread throughout the United States through the TV broadcast media.

Two consecutive championships, the Olympic champion, Jordan's popularity and influence, his status and momentum in the league, and his influence and status in the American sports world are all rapidly improving. After the magic bird retired one after another, he has truly become an NBA new signboard.

The new season is about to start, and the media's attention is mainly focused on the Bulls, Michael Jordan to be precise.

Now as long as the topic about Jordan is very interesting, it is full of topicality. Besides, Zhou Quan and Jordan are still old enemies. Zhou Quan himself is getting a lot of attention now, and the Bulls and Pistons are sworn enemies. It was popular all over the United States and occupied the front page headlines of many media.

When interviewed by the media, Barkley said: "John Seally was traded to the Heat, the Pistons lost their hardness inside, and Secali was not efficient. He couldn't stand up at the critical moment, and he didn't have the ability to fight hard, so I didn't Not optimistic about the Pistons this season. The new season will be dominated by the Bulls and our Suns."

As a superstar, he has been traded to the Suns, from the east to the west, which made him relieved, because he can finally avoid Michael Jordan, and he is very excited to be able to join forces with the Lightning, he began to look forward to the total champion.

Karl Malone was interviewed by the media, and the reporter asked: "The postman, Larry Johnson and Oakley have all fought against the Killer King. Obviously, the Killer King has the strength of a professional boxer, so they are honorable defeats and can be called warriors. So when are you going to fight Iron Fist?"

The postman said with a ruthless face: "My license hasn't been issued yet. When I do, I will have a tough fight with him. I will let him know that what kind of murder king is just shit."

"So do you think the Pistons will be able to crush the Bulls in the new season? Do you think the Iron Fist has the strength to crush Michael Jordan?" The reporter asked again.

"Are you joking? He's just a big mouth, crazy man, he has no sense."

When the postman heard this question, he immediately blew up, and then said disdainfully: "How can the Pistons have the strength to step on the Bulls? What ability does that bastard Iron Fist have to step on Michael? I bet that this season, the Bulls will still crush the Pistons." , Michael still crushes that shit."

The media also analyzed this topic. Except for the Detroit media, even the Los Angeles media did not think that the Pistons had the strength to step on the Bulls.

As for Zhou Quan stepping on Jordan's position, it is even more impossible. There is no media or personal support for this statement.

In fact, Zhou Quan did not say that he would step on Jordan, he only said that the Pistons would step on the bull.

Some media also interviewed Jordan. Jordan only said in a disdainful tone: "Pistons? What kind of team is that? Why are we talking about it? It's not worth talking about. Let's change the topic, shall we?"

"Then do you think the Killer King will pose a threat to you in the new season?" The reporter immediately changed the question.

Jordan laughed loudly and asked, "What ability do you think he has to threaten me? Just relying on his three-legged cat's offensive ability?

Gentlemen, please keep in mind that I just averaged 40+ per game on his head in the Eastern Conference Finals series. "

That night, in Las Vegas, Holyfield started his second world title defense of the year, only to lose all his belts.

……

Before the start of the new season, many media analyzed the situation, divided all the teams into four tiers, and listed several championship-level teams with hopes of winning the championship as the first tier.

Looking forward to the Bulls of the three consecutive championships, Pat Riley's lineup and the Knicks with an increasingly mature tactical style, these are the two first-tier teams in the East.

The Trail Blazers, who failed in the finals but are extremely powerful, got Barkley's Suns, which are the two first-tier teams in the West.

The Pistons and Cavaliers in the East, and the Sonics and Mosaics in the West are the second gear.

On the 6th, the opening game of the Pistons began, playing against the Bucks at home.

It's a pity that the league's major TV broadcasters did not arrange a nationwide live broadcast of the opening game. Only the local broadcaster of the Pistons, that is, Detroit TV, can provide the Pistons with some broadcast income.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

At the beginning of the new season, the Palace of Auburn Hills arranged a little fancy link. Fireworks were lit when the home team played, and the atmosphere was very lively.

This time, Joe Dumars took the first place, and Zhou Quan made his final appearance.

He was still a rookie last season, even if he became the boss, out of respect, he always let Joe Dumars be the finale, but this season he is no longer a rookie.

"Oh oh oh..."

The cheers of more than [-] fans shook the sky, and countless arms were waving.

The attendance rate of the opening game was full, and Detroit's declining economy did not seem to make the fans' enthusiasm disappear. The season ticket sales of the new season were stronger than the previous two seasons, which is excellent news for the team's operations.

After warming up, Zhou Quan sat back on the bench and turned on the system.

Just now, the system issued regular season tasks.

"Task 1: Ask the host to play no less than 80 games in the regular season this season, average more than 30 minutes per game, be selected as the main force of the All-Star, join the 20+10 club, be selected for the best team and best defensive team, and make a shot The shooting percentage is not lower than 46%, the three-point shooting percentage is not lower than 36%, the free throw percentage is not lower than 90%, the true shooting percentage is not lower than 54%, and the assist to turnover ratio is not lower than 3."

"Mission 2: Ask the host to lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals. The host averaged 20+10 per game in the playoffs, and the efficiency is not lower than the regular season."

"Reward, both tasks are completed, injury resistance +3, speed +1, bounce +1, agility +1."

"I X!"

Zhou Quan burst into foul language.

Now his tonnage is fixed at 90 kg, his strength training has also been completed, and he is almost 21 years old. His athleticism has actually reached the ceiling. It is not easy to improve these qualities, and the rewards of the system, Definitely helping him raise the ceiling.

There are two tasks in total. First, there should be no major injuries, otherwise it will affect attendance; second, the timing of shooting should be chosen well, and the offensive efficiency should be improved as much as possible; the last is the stability of passing, and mistakes should be controlled well.

There are also the main players of the All-Stars. On the back line, Jordan must be the top voter. He can't compete, but there is still hope for another main guard.

This season, the Pistons' roster has not changed much. It has been weakened and strengthened. It's hard to say how strong it is. It depends on how you play and everyone's performance. His own strength has also increased a little. It is definitely not impossible to reach the East in the playoffs. hope.

So these two tasks, he still has hope to complete.

However, this time the system issued all the tasks for the regular season and the playoffs at one time, so there might be nothing left for this season's tasks.

His opponent tonight is Eric Murdoch, who was in his same year's show. Last year's No. 21 pick in the first round was selected by the Jazz. He didn't see it for a year. He was traded to the Bucks this season.

The Bucks are also short of point guards. The rookie last season did not start a game in the Jazz. This season he became the Bucks' starting point guard.

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game started. Sekali won the jump ball and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan dribbled the ball across the center line in two steps, and when Murdoch was coming up to him, he suddenly sped up his strength, level 90 made a feint with one hand and broke through the opponent in one step, and reached the free throw line in a few steps.

At this time, the Bucks' defensive formation has not yet been fully deployed, and the center has not yet settled down. The small forward and the power forward who just arrived at the basket rushed over in a hurry, forming a pincer attack on Zhou Quan.

At this time, small forward Ulrich appeared open and immediately cut inward to the basket.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan threw it casually, and the basketball flew over the head of Bucks small forward Anthony Avant. Ulli caught the ball and exploded.

"Brilliant pass! Iron Fist assists Ulrich, his pass is enough to penetrate any defense..."

Cheers and applause immediately erupted from the Palace of Auburn Hills, and at the same time, the bearded John Rowell, the on-site commentator, roared excitedly.

Looking back, Murdoch advanced with the ball, and Zhou Quan defended and retreated in the backcourt.

"squeak!"

Seeing the opportunity, he exerted force with his feet, and he suddenly took a step forward and stabbed the ball with his long arm.

"Snapped!"

Murdoch didn't react in time, Zhou Quan waved the ball away, then forced the opponent away, got the ball and launched a counterattack.

"Oh oh oh……"

The counterattack after the steal easily aroused the cheers of the Pistons fans.

Zhou Quan reached the free throw line in a few steps, shook his head to the left, and saw that Murdoch was still two steps away, and immediately flew towards the basket, holding the ball in both hands, and when he was approaching the basket, he suddenly flew into the air. A 360-degree turn, and then hit the buckle vigorously with both hands.

"boom!"

Amidst the explosion of the basket, the Bucks' basket was instantly exploded.

"boom!"

The Palace of Auburn Hills boiled instantly, bursting into loud cheers.

Countless Pistons fans stood up from their seats, looking at Zhou Quan who was interacting with them on the field with disbelief.

They had never seen such a fancy dunk by Zhou Quan. This dunk really gave them a huge surprise.

A fancy dunk will not turn two points into a three-pointer, but there is a world of difference in viewing. Which fan doesn't like to watch such a dunk?

Moreover, this dunk also made Pistons fans understand one thing, that is, the team leader Iron Fist has a stronger athletic quality, otherwise it would be impossible to do this action, and the body is the basis of technology.

"Oh oh oh……"

In the live commentary seat, the bespectacled male dragon Gerlans couldn't believe it, his mouth kept oh, obviously he didn't react.

The bearded John Lowell shouted excitedly: "Look, turn around 360 degrees in the air, this is not someone else, not Michael Jordan, nor Wilkins, the best human movie, and it is not a glider, this is Iron Fist, this is Detroit Killers Wang, he has the strength to play flowers, haha, his talent has improved..."

面对实力一般的同年秀，周权没有手下留情，上场32分钟，14投8中，命中率57%，三分球5投2中，加上4罚4中，轰下了22分4篮板12助攻3抢断1盖帽3失误3犯规的数据。

Joe Dumars scored 25 points, leading the Pistons in scoring.

Center Seikali scored 17 points, Rodman 11 points, Ulrich 15 points, and all five main players scored in double figures, scoring a total of 90 points.

In addition, ten people rotated, and the bench lineup also bloomed across the board. Five substitutes jointly contributed 30 points. The team scored 120 points and beat the Bucks by 15 points.

The Pistons successfully won the Bucks and got a good start to the new season.

But Chuck Daly is a little worried, because he allowed a weak team like the Bucks to score 105 points on him. You must know that the Pistons averaged the lowest points per game in the league last season, only 96.9 points.

This game told him that because of the absence of John Selley at the basket, the Pistons' defense has dropped significantly from last season.

He estimates that the average points lost per game this season is likely to exceed [-].

Of course, both offensive ability and rebounding ability have been enhanced, which is also undeniable.

On the sidelines, Zhou Quan was being interviewed by a Detroit TV station.

"Iron Fist, today you have two fancy dunks and a few pull-up layups under the basket. These are all unprecedented. What makes you so energetic?" the reporter asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan said excitedly: "Of course it's the support of the fans and friends." As he spoke, he waved to the fans who were leaving the stadium, and received a burst of cheers.

"We all know that you didn't rest throughout the offseason, is it because of the extra training that has increased your athletic talent?" The reporter asked with a smile.

He nodded and smiled: "Yes, I just entered the league and must work harder."

Today he played some flower work, but he also controlled it, and did not over-exhaust his body, which would easily cause excessive wear and tear, and the chance of injury was greater.

"Rick, how many points did Jordan score?"

After the interview, returning to the locker room, Zhou Quan asked.

Assistant coach Musk said: "The Bulls played the Cavaliers at home. Jordan scored 29 points and shot 46%. Although he was serious in the regular season, he would never go all out. I think he just played casually."

This sentence made Zhou Quan feel a lot of pressure. Just play casually with this data, which is already the same as the task requirements issued by the system before the game, with a shooting percentage of 46%.

Musk added: "The Magic played against the Heat. The No. 8 pick O'Neal just finished his debut. He played against Salley and made 4 of 12 shots. He scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 8 blocks, 6 turnovers and [-] fouls."

"Six offenders? How long did you fight?" the assassin asked.

"32 minutes."

Musk said with a smile: "Selly didn't play well either. He made 7 of 1 shots and only scored two points. But today his rebounds and assists were good. He had 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. But under O'Neal's defense, he also appeared. 7 turnovers."

"Except for offense and turnovers, the others are pretty good." Assassin said.

When Ronnie Secali heard his teammates discussing John Seley, he thought of his performance today, 17 points and 8 rebounds, average.

He is the Heat's double-double king, but now there is a rebounding king Rodman next to him. Tonight Rodman grabbed 17 rebounds and only allowed him to grab 8 rebounds. Obviously, in front of Rodman, he His rebounding ability pales in comparison.

Thanks to Iron Fist's passing, though, he shot decently tonight at 56 percent, well above last season's average, which pleases him.

The Pistons have a passing master like Iron Fist. He hopes to play more efficiently here, which will be of great help to his career.

The start was a back-to-back home and away game. That night, the Pistons flew to Indiana overnight.

After playing the Pacers, there is another away game, which will go to Chicago to challenge the Bulls on the 11th.

At noon on the 7th, Zhou Quan and others got up from the hotel bed, and after lunch, they rushed to the arena for training.

Unfortunately, during the training, Rodman's waist may have been insufficiently active before the training, and it was a little serious. At least a month's truce, Chuck Daly had to take down the main force of the big bug and let Trimir Adams is tonight's starting power forward.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

"Hey, Reggie."

At seven o'clock, before the game, Reggie Miller visited Zhou Quan in the visiting team's locker room.

"Senior, the other teams are strengthening. Your lineup hasn't changed much this season. Can you make it to the playoffs?" He asked in a teasing tone.

Reggie Miller said angrily: "You should still care about yourself. It's golf and boxing again. Do you want to play baseball someday? Too much distraction is not good for you."

Zhou Quan explained with a smile: "No, I know it well, it won't affect basketball."

Reggie Miller reminded: "Although the Bulls beat you [-]-[-] in the Eastern Conference Finals last time, if it weren't for your serious injury problems, you would not have reached the tiebreaker as you said, and your strength this season will not be Poor, I'm sure Jordan will keep an eye on you this season and won't relax his vigilance against your mortal enemy."

Zhou Quan said confidently: "Compared with the Bulls' main lineup, our main lineup's scoring ability is not bad. As long as my organization work is done well, except Rodman's scoring ability is not so good, the other four points The scoring ability is very good.

The bench lineup, we got reinforcements, plus the assassins and Aguirre, should be stronger than the Bulls' bench lineup.

Seniors, this season, as long as the lineup remains healthy, we won't necessarily lose. "

That night, the Pistons, who fought back to back, still played a good offense, defeating the Pacers with a score of 109:96.

Zhou Quan played 40 minutes against Rapoor Richardson, an obscure point guard who was inferior in height, tonnage, athleticism, and skills.

总共16投8中，三分球3投1中，4罚3中，轰下了20分6篮板15助攻4抢断1盖帽3失误3犯规的数据。

The top five starters all scored in double figures, Mark Aguirre also scored 11 points in the bench lineup, six players in the team scored in double figures, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars both scored 20+ points.

Under the blockade of Joe Dumars and Zhou Quan, Reggie Miller didn't feel good. He made 11 of 1 shots, forcing him to make a crazy breakthrough. He made 11 of 9 free throws and only scored 11 points.

At the end of the game, Reggie Miller, who was playing very embarrassingly, said to Zhou Quan angrily: "Boy, you used the strength to deal with Jordan on me? Your next away game is to play the Bulls, don't bombard him. Play 30+10, I will never end with you."

"We are on the 11th, and on the 9th, you will fight the Bulls first, senior, don't let me down, hit 30+10 on Jordan's head." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Nothing is impossible." Reggie Miller said unconvinced.
