God of NBA point guards

Chapter 230 Best team

The first three teams announced are David Robinson, Derek Coleman, Pippen, Tim Hardaway, and Joe Dumars.

Seeing that Joe Dumars' name appeared in the third team, he felt that his first team hope was a bit high. If there is no more his name in the next second team, then he can definitely be in the first team.

Then came the second team, namely Ewing, Larry Johnson, Wilkins, John Stockton, Mark Price.

Zhou Quan became excited. He didn't have himself in the third team and the second team, so it was definitely a first team, because with his performance in the regular season, it was impossible not to be selected for the third team.

Sure enough, his name appeared in a while, and the other four were Jordan, Karl Malone, Barkley, and Olajuwon.

In less than five seconds, his landline and mobile phone rang.

"Double first team, Zhou, congratulations on getting the double first team. This is a standard honor for superstars. Without double first team, you don't deserve to be called a superstar at all, haha!"

As soon as he lifted the microphone of the landline next to him, Roger Philip's voice rang.

"Zhou, congratulations!"

After pressing the answer button of the mobile phone, the voice of his girlfriend Christina rang.

Next, the two phones kept ringing, and he was a little too busy.

After getting the double bang, he completed another task requirement, and he was one step closer to the reward he wanted.

……

At seven o'clock the next morning, Zhou Quan woke up very early, took the newspaper from outside and came in, opened it, and there were many news about him on the front page.

"Iron Fist, selected to the first team in the second season of his career, a rising star." Detroit Worker Daily.

"Double first, standard equipment for superstars, congratulations to Iron Fist!" Los Angeles Daily.

He flipped through the newspaper with a smile on his face. As a very practical person, he still has a sense of vanity, especially in this country full of discrimination, he enjoys praise very much.

At noon, Philip arrived in Detroit. After picking him up from the plane, he invited him to a restaurant for lunch.

Philip wanted Zhou Quan to leave Detroit very much, but now is a critical period, so he didn't bring up this topic, but continued to talk about some business matters.

The six endorsements signed this time include a first-tier men’s clothing brand and a first-tier men’s watch brand, and the rest are second-tier brands. The total value reached 600 million US dollars, and the two first-tier brands accounted for half of it. , the longest endorsement period is three years, the shortest is one year, and the average annual income is about 500 million US dollars.

Of course, it cannot be compared with someone like Jordan, but as a Chinese, it is very good to be able to get such a commercial contract in the United States.

He praised Philip, and Philip suggested again: "Iron Fist, you should consider buying a sports car. Sports cars can improve your taste. Don't always drive that pickup truck. Ford's contract does not restrict you to drive their pickup truck." .

You should learn this from Jordan. He drives a Ferrari sports car, which is a gift from Ferrari. He is definitely more stylish than you. "

Zhou Quan was startled, smiled and nodded.

Philip laughed: "If I knew that Cadillac was looking for you to endorse, I would never have signed the contract with Ford's pickup truck last year.

The next time they come to you again, they will definitely not endorse pickup trucks. If you lose your position, you should endorse their other models. In addition to the Tefal brand, they have many brands, such as Lincoln, Mazda, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Volvo and so on. "

That night, the NBA League held the 93-year lottery ceremony in the hotel business conference room at Madison Square Garden.

11 teams that did not make it to the playoffs participated in the draw ceremony.

As a result, the Magic got lucky and won the No. [-] lottery for the second consecutive year.

The Philadelphia Digital team got the second pick, and the Warriors got the third pick.

"Oh, haha, I'm going to be lucky, I'm going to have a helper, and I'm going to taste the taste of the playoffs." O'Neill was so happy to see that his team won the No. [-] pick again that he almost cried.

……

On the 27st, the Pistons regrouped.

In the morning, the team held a tactical meeting, chaired by Chuck Daly.

Assistant coach Rick Musk first introduced the Knicks' lineup and said: "Oakley was originally a power forward. After Smith came this season, he changed to a small forward. His main role is defense and rebounding. He has seven points on the offensive end. Cheng's shot is two points away, and the offense at the basket is only 10%. It is basically a second offense, and he has no independent offensive ability in the low post.

There are almost no nearly two points, that is to say, in the paint area, he only plays a second offense at the basket, and there is no offensive threat when he leaves the basket.

The team's arrangement is for Sekali to defend him. He takes few shots on the offensive end and is not threatening. I believe you can guard Ronnie. "

Facing the big villain Oakley, Sekali twitched. Fortunately, there was the villain's big killer, Iron Fist, at his side, which made him feel at ease, and nodded quickly: "Of course."

He's not too worried either, because Oakley doesn't take many shots and his defensive pressure isn't that great.

And his mobility can keep up with Oakley. Oakley is 8 centimeters shorter than him, but he weighs several kilograms. He does not run slower than the opponent. The advantage of movement is also the key reason why he can catch so many rebounds.

It's just that he is facing Oakley, who will play the center position?

Musk continued: "Charles Smith, the No. 88 pick in the first round in 46.9, mainly focused on mid-range shots. This season, he shot 12.4% in the regular season, 5.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 4.5 blocks. He averaged [-] times per game. penalty.

As a power forward, his offensive efficiency is average, his rebounding ability is average, and his defense is average. In fact, since last season, his state has been declining due to injuries.

However, this season, the Knicks' defense ranks first in the league. Although his defense is average, it is not too bad. It should be noted. "

Having said that, he said to Rodman: "Dennis, we will give him to you to defend. He is the Knicks' third scoring point in the regular season and fourth in the playoffs. Can you handle it?"

"No problem, it's just a trivial matter to me." Rodman said carelessly.

Musk nodded, and said again: "Ewing, let Polynice deal with it."

"what?"

Alden Polynice's mouth fell open.

Also as an inside substitute, Terry Mills immediately looked envious, wishing to grab Polynice's starting position.

But he doesn’t understand, the defense is also not very good, but his scoring ability is far better than Polynes, and his rebounding ability is not much worse. He is only 3 centimeters shorter than Polynes, why not let him start Woolen cloth?

Could it be that, after thinking about it, Polynice only surpassed himself in tonnage, reaching 250 pounds (113.4 kilograms), could it be that he was used as a meat shield?
Thinking about it this way, he felt right, because among all the insiders on the team, the tonnage of others was very light. Only Polynice reached 250 pounds, which was about the same as Ewing. Only he was qualified to be a tank.

Polynis was very disturbed, because he knew his own affairs, how could he defend against Ewing with his little defense?The rhythm of every game is about to be blown up!
Musk didn't talk about the issue of the fifth position, because facing Ewing, a super center, the Pistons have no one to defend against. It is meaningless to say more. When it comes to actual combat, they can only rely on help to defend Ewing. The problem.

He went on to talk about the back line, saying: "The back line is our advantage. On our offensive end, the Knicks will definitely gather Ewing, Smith, and Oakley to defend the penalty area, so the space for outside breakthroughs will definitely not be large. So the outside jump shot is very important."

Speaking of this, he said to the assassin: "Isaiah, you return to the bench lineup for the time being, we need to see the effect of this starting lineup."

"OK."

The assassin had no objection, he was playing the main force now, and the physical load was really too great. After finally killing the bull, the anger in his heart had already gone down, so he might not be able to bear the main force.

Chuck Daly took over the conversation and said: "The Knicks are the most defensive team in the league, so offensive tactics are very important. Iron Fist, there is no Jordan to defend you this time, I believe you can solve John Star Kex..."

……

On the morning of the 28th, the Knicks held a tactical meeting.

Pat Riley emphasized Zhou Quan, and said very seriously: "Gentlemen, apart from rebounding, the most important reason why the Bulls lost was that they did not control the iron fist.

In the crucial tiebreaker, they let the Iron Fist shoot 61.5% of the field goals, and scored 44 points, 11 assists and 10 steals.

So I want to tell you now, I want to warn you, if you want to reach the finals, then you must limit Tekken, there is no second way. "

His words immediately focused the attention of Ewing and the others.

At this time, the Pistons set off from Detroit and arrived in the Big Apple City at 02:30 noon. They checked into the hotel at 03:30, and then held a press conference at the hotel at [-]:[-] at the request of the media.

"Tekken, the current media and professionals' predictions for the Eastern Conference finals tend to have a [-]-[-] chance. Do you accept this statement?" The first question was a reporter from the New York Times.

"Win or lose, of course I accept." Zhou Quan nodded with a smile.

"Does this mean that you and the Pistons don't have the confidence to win?" the reporter asked.

Zhou Quan said very sincerely: "Sir, Michael Jordan also has confidence in us to win. He said he wants to control our destiny, but who is the winner? We are playing basketball in a game, not talking about it in a game. Who said I must Win, whoever wins."

The reporter shrugged, and the microphone was taken away.

The next question was from a Wall Street Journal reporter, who asked, "Tekken, will you be playing golf or any other professional sports this offseason?"

Zhou Quan asked curiously first: "Your Wall Street Journal is a financial media, and does it also have a sports section?"

The reporter said with a smile: "We are a comprehensive media, and we are very concerned about current affairs news. Your professional crossover is very attractive to us. It is rare for active professional athletes to engage in several professional sports at the same time."

Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "Last year, I have already decided that I will engage in some other professional sports during the offseason, such as golf and boxing. These two should be confirmed."

"What kind of results do you hope to achieve in these two professional events?" the reporter asked.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Quan said: "My main occupation is basketball, and I don't have much training time for other sports, so I don't have too high requirements for performance at present, but I hope to achieve excellent results in other sports. "

"How much confidence do you have?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Golf, I hope that one day I can win a certain tour championship. And boxing, I hope that one day I can stand in front of the world-class heavyweight champion." Zhou Quan said seriously.

"Oh!"

The reporters below burst into exclamations.

These are not small hopes and small goals, these are big goals.

It is impossible to win a single championship on the golf tour without the strength of a first-class golfer. Generally, there are four rounds in a round. A certain round can have unexpected performances, but in the entire four rounds, this is not just a matter of You can get it with luck.

As for professional boxing, if you fight with a world-class heavyweight boxing champion, you must be at least a first-class heavyweight boxer to be eligible, and the world ranking must be at least in the top ten or even top five of the four major boxing organizations to be challenged. Qualification for the world boxing champion, is this possible?
This is ten times more difficult than golf. After all, as a celebrity, Zhou Quan has the opportunity to participate in golf tournaments, but there are not many boxers in the world who are qualified to fight against the world boxing champion.

……

That night, Zhou Quan's words had spread to the whole world through the developed television and broadcasting media in the United States.

"His wish is good, but I don't underestimate him. It is really difficult for him to achieve it. The chance of success is close to zero."

On the morning of the 29th, the famous British Sky TV sports commentator John Hawes said so in his program.

The famous German sports commentator Hans Frank said in an interview: "If he can reach the first-class level in three professional sports at the same time, in fact, he does not need to achieve any achievements, he is qualified. Become one of the best professional athletes in the world.

However, I think the probability of this is very small. I think it is just a gimmick for him to expand his influence. Once he really enters other professional sports, he will be taught by reality.

Here, I would like to advise him, don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's majors, you should go play your basketball. "

Based on the cross-border gimmick, many media around the world have expressed similar views, and there are few people who are optimistic about Zhou Quan.

At this time, the Pistons have entered the training state.

New York is not as loyal as Chicago. Knicks fans are not as loyal as Bulls fans. In fact, Knicks fans are the most booing group in the league, so the Pistons chose to train at Madison Square Garden. Sure enough, there were no Knicks fans coming to harass them. them.
