God of NBA point guards

Chapter 191 Jordan Wins All-Stars

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Quan invited Zhang Lili, Sun Zhenping, and the three-person camera team to have breakfast. The appointment was made last night.

The four of Sun Zhenping arrived in Los Angeles yesterday morning. After meeting with Zhang Lili, they knew that Zhou Quan would participate in a professional golf tournament today, and decided to shoot some videos of Zhou Quan playing golf, so they rushed to San Francisco by bus in the afternoon.

At present, few people play golf in China, and not many people even know about it. The first golf course in China was the hot spring course built by Mr. Huo Da in Zhongshan in 84. In fact, there is nothing to shoot.

But this time they not only want to broadcast the NBA All-Stars live, but also have an important task, which is to interview Zhou Quan, so they decided to shoot some.

While having breakfast, Philip came in a car, called a taxi, and they went to the golf course.

When he arrived at the course, Zhou Quan showed the influence of a cross-border star. Except for some star golfers, many professional ordinary golfers are not as attractive as him. Many media reporters came to interview him immediately when they saw him.

Sun Zhenping was very excited. As a veteran sports reporter, he seldom covered such professional sports competitions, and he rarely saw Chinese athletes so popular abroad.

"Take pictures, take pictures." He kept instructing the camera team.

The PGA Tour started in 90, and this year is the fourth year. Its influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the championship fund of each stop is as high as one million US dollars.

In these two rounds, relying on his excellent precision hitting ability, Zhou Quan shot a total of 139, 70 in the first round, 2 under par, and performed better in the second round, 69, 3 under par, Played at the level of a professional player.

After the first two rounds, there are a total of 135 golfers, and his ranking is not low, tied for 15th with the other two players. There are 14 players in the top 21.

Although these two rounds of competition are not enough to prove his professional strength, after all, there are too few competitions, and it is entirely possible for amateur golfers to play well below par, but it also further proves that he does play professional golf Strength.

"Another successful crossover! It is recommended that Iron Fist Slayer change careers. As long as you practice hard, you have the potential to become an excellent golfer." Los Angeles Daily.

"Crossover maniac Zhou Quan once again proves that he does have crossover career strength." The New York Times.

After finishing the second round on the morning of the 19th, Zhou Quan took a plane in the afternoon, accompanied by five people including Zhang Lili, and flew to Salt Lake City, Utah. This year's All-Stars are at the home court of the Jazz.

"Be careful, Zhou, Jordan is likely to target you, he is not a large number of people." Before boarding the plane, Philip reminded.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, he's not big, but I'm still pretty big, and I won't care about like him." Zhou Quan smiled.

Roger Phillip laughed silently, you are a liar, you are the type of revenge, no different from Michael Jordan.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Quan and his party arrived at the hotel where the NBA All-Stars stayed in Salt Lake City.

"Oh look, Iron Fist is here."

"I guess he's coming too."

"This guy scored three under par in two rounds. I don't think he can stay in the NBA for long. Sooner or later, he will change careers."

"I feel the same way. If he spends his time practicing basketball on golf, his achievements will not be less than playing basketball."

"But I think he should play baseball. He hit a home run off Ainge, the lead pitcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The ball was fast, and Ainge didn't hold back."

"I think it's better to go to professional boxing. He knocked out Larry Johnson and Oakley in one round."

A large group of reporters rushed up outside the hotel and surrounded Zhou Quan who had just got off the car, while the fans waiting outside were talking about it.

"Tekken, do you have any thoughts on changing careers?"

"NO, not yet."

"That is, there will be in the future?"

"There may not be any in the future."

"Tekken, the NBA offseason is very long, will you participate in professional events in other sports?"

"possible."

"What do you hope to achieve in other sports? Or is it just for show?"

"It's still a way to try. I hope to try more sports in the future, such as tennis, shooting, etc. I have tried all of these at UCLA, and they are very attractive to me."

"This All-Star, have you considered being isolated?"

"Who will isolate me?"

"You and Michael Jordan are mortal enemies, and Da Meng is the same, and there are many people who have recently clashed with Barkley. Do you think they will not isolate you?"

"Oh, I don't care about the Western All-Stars, but if the Eastern All-Stars dare to isolate me, I won't pass the ball to them."

"Ha ha……"

As soon as Zhou Quan said these words, the scene suddenly burst into laughter.

"Xiao Gao, did you take the picture?" Sun Zhenping asked Xiao Gao, the leader of the camera team.

"Mr. Sun, if we continue to shoot like this, we don't have enough tapes." Xiao Gao said in embarrassment.

"Then go buy it and ask the NBA for reimbursement." Sun Zhenping said bluntly.

After dealing with the reporters, Zhou Quan had to enter the hotel.

The NBA didn't contract the entire hotel, only the 23rd to 25th floors. Zhou Quan's room was on the 24th floor, and the league's management staff lived on the 23rd floor.

"Xiao Zhou, see you later."

When they reached the 23rd floor, Zhang Lili and the others went out. They had to go to the NBA management first, and they had to get an interview pass before they could conduct interviews and filming.

Zhou Quan came to the 24th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw a lot of people outside waiting for the elevator. The one standing at the front was Michael Jordan, followed by Barkley and Dameng.

Seeing Zhou Quan inside, the group of people who were chatting and laughing immediately stopped.

Seeing Zhou Quan come out, Jordan, who stood in front of him, took the initiative to step aside. He knew Zhou Quan's temper, and if he got angry and was beaten up in public, he would be ashamed.

"Iron Fist, you play golf well." Joe Dumars laughed in the crowd.

"Dinner, Joe?"

Zhou Quan pulled the suitcase and walked past Jordan, smiling and nodding to the others, while greeting Joe Dumas.

"Oh, we just made an appointment to have dinner together, you should go too." Joe Dumas said hastily.

"OK, wait a minute, let me put the suitcase."

Zhou Quan did not refuse. Although the relationship with Jordan and some of them is not good, not all the All-Stars are sworn enemies, and there are many people worthy of association. He will not isolate himself.

"Hey, Tekken, you're showing off again, someday teach me how to play golf." Shouted O'Neill in the crowd.

"OK, does the hotel have an indoor golf course, or a fairway? If so, do you want to play together at night?" He asked.

"This is a good idea, so it's settled." O'Neill said happily.

"Who else wants to hang out?" he asked the others.

He knew that some people wanted to play golf, because golf is a so-called aristocratic sport. If the word aristocrat is used, it will greatly increase its attractiveness. Most of the NBA players are born in slums, and aristocrats have a great influence on them. attraction.

In the United States, playing golf is the most fashionable and stylish way of socializing, and talking about business while playing on the golf course is also a way of the upper class.

Anyone with a little money likes to play golf. Everyone wants to try it. At least they must know how to play and understand the rules. This will make them look like a gentleman and aristocrat, and they will have a better chance of contacting the upper class. If they can’t even play golf , You don't have the qualifications to connect to the upper class.

People like Jordan and Barkley also like to play golf, and it must be inseparable from the word noble.

And he has just played a professional performance on the PGA Tour. For this group of All-Stars, his invitation should be attractive.

Sure enough, someone responded immediately.

"Iron Fist, count me in," Danny Manning said.

"Count me in too." Tribert also said.

There are also Schramf, Doherty, Larry Nance, Mark Price, Wilkins, etc., as long as they have no big feud with him, they all want to play.

"Let's go together then." He smiled.

Joe Dumars secretly gave Zhou Quan a thumbs up. He had just met, and with just one sentence, he has connected with so many All-Stars and established common interests. He is not afraid of being isolated by Jordan and the others.

When he came, the assassin also told him to remind Iron Fist not to be isolated by Jordan, and it should not be now.

Jordan was a little annoyed. He really wanted to isolate Zhou Quan on the All-Stars, not only during the game, but also during the All-Star activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but this time it was somewhat impossible.

He regretted it a little now, he should have proposed playing golf just now, but unfortunately what he proposed was playing cards.

After dinner, Zhou Quan waited for a group of people to play golf, while the other group followed Jordan and rented a business suite to play cards.

The hotel is not sealed. Even though the NBA staff has sealed off the three floors, those reporters can still buy the hotel staff. Then the next day, Zhou Quan and Jordan were on the headlines of the major media at the same time. .

"On one side are gamblers, and on the other side are gentlemen and aristocrats. Now the fans should know who you are going to support?"

The Detroit Daily found a photo of Jordan losing a lot at the gambling table before, and put together the photo of Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars playing golf last night, forming a strong contrast.

"During the All-Star period, I did not forget to pull a group of All-Stars to gamble. Michael Jordan is already addicted to gambling. He will destroy himself and teach our young people." The New York Times.

At eight o'clock, Jordan's mobile phone rang when he just woke up.

"Hello..."

"Michael, Michael, I beg you, the All-Stars don't play poker, okay? You go to the newspapers and TV news, you're on the front page again because of gambling. From the beginning of this season until now, the entire United States The media is targeting you, so stop doing stupid things, you will destroy yourself."

As soon as he was connected, the annoyed voice of manager David Falk sounded from the other end of the TV, which made him stunned.

At this time, in a room on the 25th floor, David Stern had finished washing, when his special assistant Hawk Houston came in.

"Michael Jordan played another night of poker last night?"

Hearing Houston's report, he only felt a pain in his forehead, and said angrily, "Doesn't he also like golf? Why can't he learn iron fist? Could it be because of his background?"

He was very fortunate, thankful that some people played golf with Zhou Quan. If everyone followed Jordan to play cards, the media would definitely describe the NBA as a league of bad gamblers.

But thinking of Zhou Quan, he also had a headache, because not long ago, Zhou Quan boxed Dan Marley on the court again, and then had a conflict with Barkley.

Anyway, Jordan and Zhou Quan, the sworn enemies, never let him worry.

But in comparison, Zhou Quan was a little bit better. After all, he didn't hit people for no reason. He would fight back after others attacked him.

As for Jordan, gambling is already an old problem. Last time, he was even involved in a single offender. There is no way to wash away this black spot.

At 08:30, a group of all-stars came to the restaurant for breakfast. They were leaving at nine o'clock. There were some show activities in the morning, and no one could be absent.

Jordan also appeared in the restaurant with a bad face. Barkley, Dameng, Larry Johnson and others also had a bad face. They already knew that the poker game last night was dug up by the media, and they were all named and scolded by the media. , and no one escaped.

Seeing the moldy faces of Jordan and the others, and the group of all-stars who followed Zhou Quan to play golf, they were overjoyed.

At this time, David Stern appeared in the restaurant, ignored Jordan who was looking at him, and walked towards Zhou Quan with a smile.

"Mr. Stern, good morning." Zhou Quan got up and greeted.

"Good morning Zhou! I hope you have a happy All-Star Weekend." Stern smiled.

"I believe it will." Zhou Quan smiled.

There was no media at the scene, but the players and managers were there. Stern's attitude was almost semi-public, which meant that he was expressing his anger and dissatisfaction with Jordan, and his appreciation and support for Zhou Quan.

After breakfast, the NBA's All-Star Weekend officially began. There were show activities in the morning and afternoon, and then there were dunk contests and three-point shooting contests in the evening.

During the daytime activities, Jordan didn't have the slightest intention to isolate Zhou Quan, because the media surrounding him had already bored him.

Zhou Quan did not sign up for these two competitions, and the league did not invite him.

In the end, last year's rookie, the Heat's No. 12 pick in the first round, Harold Miner won the slam dunk contest, and Mark Price won the three-pointer contest.

On the 21st, I participated in some activities during the day, and at night was the All-Star dinner, the All-Star Game.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the show ended, and all the All-Stars returned to the hotel to rest.

Jordan called a group of All-Stars to his room. There were only Pippen, Larry Johnson, and Ewing in the East. There were more people in the West, including Barkley, Big Dream, Postman, John Stockton, Sean Can Seven people including Pu, Dan Marley, and Tim Hardaway, adding up the two sides, counting himself, there are 11 people in total, almost half of the All-Stars.

His first All-Star was ruined in the hands of Isiah Thomas. That bastard gathered a large group of All-Stars to isolate him alone, and now he wants to return Zhou Quan.

And in the past two days, Zhou Quan stepped on him again. He became a gambler that everyone hated, while Zhou Quan became a gentleman and aristocrat that everyone praised and admired, which made him very frustrated and depressed.

Next, he will hold a complaint meeting to help his friends recall the bitter memories.

"Scotty, you have been beaten with an iron fist, this time is a good opportunity."

"Don't worry, Michael, he made a big fool of me, and I will pay that bastard back. By the way, Michael, you were beaten by him too, before the Battle of the Palace of Auburn Hills, have you forgotten?"

"To shut up!"

Jordan snorted angrily, turned around and said to Larry Johnson, "Larry, you have been beaten by him too, more than once."

"One day I'm going to punch him back and I'm going to challenge him in the ring again."

"Patrick, you were beaten by him too..."

"No, no, I didn't, I really didn't." Ewing quickly denied.

"Oh, sorry, it's easy to say."

Jordan hurriedly said: "But you were detained by him before, and he also made you suffer the humiliation of the crotch, this revenge must be avenged."

Ewing's old face was as black as carbon, and he said, "I will help you, Michael, can you stop saying a few words? I will definitely help you."

Jordan nodded in satisfaction, looked at Karl Malone again, and said, "The postman, you were beaten by him too, and how many ribs were broken, are they three or four?"

"asshole!"

The postman didn't know who he was scolding, anyway, he swore in his heart that he must get a boxing license, and have a good fight with Iron Fist to wash away his shame.

"And you, Big Dream..."

"Shut up! Michael, if you continue, I will help him." Dameng said angrily.

"Then Sir Charles, although you were not beaten this time, it was he who was pulled away, and sooner or later he will beat you."

"Michael, you're not right. I'm going to have a free wrestling with him, but he's scared. But Iron Fist didn't give me face, and I'm a little upset. Michael, you are my friend, and I will help you this time."

"John, he hurt your nose, the postman is still your brother."

"I won't forget."

"Sean, although he never hit you, it is said that he threatened you in public and wanted to throw his damn glove at you?"

"No, but Michael, I'd like to help you."

"Tim Hardaway, he can get the contract for the next three years, but is there a sneaker brand looking for you?"

"No." Xiao Chong said aggrievedly.

"So you have to show off on him and let those sneaker brands see your performance, especially when you are playing against him. Don't worry, I will help you."

"Michael, thank you!" Xiao Chong said gratefully.
