At this embarrassing time, the doorbell suddenly rang, which really made Tang Qian breathe a sigh of relief. He hurried down to open the door, but when it was opened, he fell into an even greater stupor.

Zhou, Zhou Zhiru?

It was his agent Zhou Zhiru.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but now, the situation is very embarrassing.

Zhou Zhiru saw the door wide open, bowed her head and said: "Tang Qian, this is some of the partners I will help you talk about this All-Star Weekend, you have to find time to meet with them at that time, I have already drawn up a schedule, if you think there is no problem, we will ...... Well? After Zhou Zhiru walked in, she found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and when she looked up, she was stunned for a few seconds.

But soon, she recovered.

"Looks like your house is very lively, Tang Qian." Hearing Zhou Zhiru say this, Tang Qian was even more embarrassed, he could only smile awkwardly and wave his hand: "No, it's not what you think, they, they are all ......" Tang Qian didn't know how to explain it for a while, after all, these people are now standing in their own homes "alive", and it's still early in the morning, it's Valentine's Day.

There is a very "thoughtful" "philosopher" who said that it is not terrible to eat dinner together, but it is terrible to eat breakfast together.

At first glance, it doesn't sound like much, but when you think about it deeply, you can't help but think about it in depth.

At the moment, this scene has a bit of a meaning, and Tang Qian can only bite the bullet and say: "They are all my friends, well, friends." "I can see it." Zhou Zhiru's complexion did not change much, and she said: "They are all female friends." ”

Pour!!! What kind of answer is that??? Originally, four women were enough to make a table of mahjong, but now here is the fifth? Is this to play Three Kingdoms Kill Kill Kill???

The four American girls in the room couldn't help but feel a little vigilant when they saw another woman coming outside the door, mainly a beautiful woman. Although they all knew that this was Tang Qian's "agent", they knew that they knew it and saw it with their own eyes, and they felt completely different.

The most important thing is that this person is still an Oriental, and he is from the same country, a province, or even the same school as Tang Qian.

This is a huge "potential threat".

Moreover, with their female intuition, this oriental woman standing at the door must have a "meaning" to Tang Qian.

At least there is "interest".

You can't be wrong about that.

They could feel it, and Zhou Zhiru could naturally do it, but she quickly sorted it out, and then said slowly: "Ladies are small. Hello sisters, my name is Zhou Zhiru, I was a former high school classmate of Tang Qian, and now I am her exclusive agent, I am very happy to meet you. ”

Then, without waiting for these people to speak, Zhou Zhiru directly said "officially": "Tang Qian, this matter is very important and related to your future planning and development, so I am sorry to deprive you of your 'date time' today." I think we should go to the café and talk about it, otherwise I won't be able to move on to the rest of the work. ”

Then in a daze for a while, he was pulled out of the room by Zhou Zhiru, and before going out, the latter did not forget to say "politely": "Ladies, please take care of yourself, we still have work to discuss, let's go first, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!" ”

Bang~

The moment the door of the room was closed, the four American girls reacted, looking at each other for a while.

Happy Valentine's Day??? How happy are you for us to take all the righteous people away!!

This oriental woman can't be underestimated, do I have to recorrect my opponent's "priority???

Hum! It's a low-level excuse to find a hot out of work!! Next time I'm going to have to think of something better to shut everyone up!!

Cut! Not an "old woman" yet! With my age advantage, I'm sure to have the last laugh! Tender is invincible!!

Although the four of them were very unconvinced, they had to admit that they had just lost at the hands of Zhou Zhiru, and they suffered a "dumb loss". With one enemy and four enemies, and still has the upper hand, Zhou Zhiru's changes over the years really surprised Tang Qian, no, it was amazing. Because this is the opposite of his impression when he was in China, completely different.

How exactly did she do it? Ordinary people can't do this, right? Is this a growing talent?

Tang Qian was a little puzzled, after all, this kind of growth was really different from ordinary people, and he sometimes wondered if Zhou Zhiru had also gotten some kind of system or something. But this matter was quickly put to the back of his mind, because Zhou Zhiru said while driving: "Are these all your dates?" ”

"Huh? No, of course not, you think too much, am I like this kind of person? Tang Qian was caught off guard and opened his mouth.

"Men, I also understand, it doesn't matter how many women look for, anyway, it's not to get married and be a wife." Zhou Zhiru said: "But I advise you to pay attention to protective measures, and I think a few little girls should still be children, don't mess around." In the United States, the laws for the protection of minors are different in different states, and you have to pay attention to your age, otherwise things will not end well. ”

"I, I didn't." Tang Qian said speechlessly: "As soon as I woke up, I found that they appeared in my house, and they were not what you thought at all." "It doesn't matter, I'm not qualified to care about you so much. I'm just your career agent, not your private life agent. Zhou Zhiru said: "I just remind you, Tang Qian, it is normal for athletes to be energetic and demanding, but you must not overdo it, otherwise it will be fatal to your body." What's more, the physical fitness, physical function, and recovery ability of the yellow race are not comparable to those of whites and blacks, so for the sake of your career, you should pay more attention to it. ”

"I said I didn't ......"

"Alright, that's the end of the issue, let's talk about the official work." Zhou Zhiru began to say skillfully and fluently: "This All-Star Weekend we are going to meet with the heads of five corporate brands, and these four are more sincere, I suggest you can ......"

No matter what Zhou Zhiru thinks, after all, Tang Qian was brought out of the "magic cave" so that he could avoid this "Valentine's Day".

The All-Star Weekend started as usual, and Tang Qian also discussed with Zhou Zhiru according to the discussion, and started a non-stop "meeting" road while watching the games. This kind of thing is very boring and boring for Tang Qian himself, but Zhou Zhiru took so much effort to get the opportunity, and he has no reason to ignore and ignore it. Therefore, he has been following the rules and doing things step by step in the past few days.

Anyway, the specific matters are handled by the agent, and Tang Qian basically doesn't have to bother too much except to meet.

The "appetizer" that started at All-Star Weekend was not the Rookie Challenge as everyone thinks, but in fact the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game, which started at 8 a.m. This was a trial show that only started in Atlanta in '04, but because of the good audience and high ratings, it gradually became a regular show for NBA All-Star Weekend.

I have to say, David. Stern is really a business supergenius, and he put the Masters at the front, which is kind of a powerful sales pitch to attract fans from all walks of life to watch the NBA and pay attention to the All-Star. The Celebrity Game has also changed from the original retired NBA stars to the appearance time of stars, celebrities, and even politicians, which is equivalent to injecting a boost into the All-Star Weekend. Because these people are normal, you basically don't see them play basketball anymore. People's curiosity will be satisfied.

As for the rules, there are also slight changes from the official NBA game, before 2011, it was an 8-minute quarter, and since 2012, it has gradually become a 10-point quarter. If there is overtime, only 2 minutes will be played. And there are no fouls counted in the game (not that there are no fouls, but the number of fouls is not counted), there is no 24-second offensive time limit, etc. It can be seen that the main thing is entertainment and performance, and winning and losing and competition are not so important.

originally thought it was just a very ordinary game, but on this day, Tang Qian met a person who had a great impact on his future. The man's name was Moses. Malone. That's right, it's NBA legend superstar, Moses. Malone, known as the "prophet", is the absolute king of frontcourt rebounds since there are offensive rebounding statistics in the history of the league! has repeatedly blown up the legendary strongman of the inside line of "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar! He was the de facto first person in the NBA league in the 79-84 season.

Why? Is he better than Abdul-Jabbar?

Well, throughout his NBA career, he is certainly not as good as "Tiangou", but he has a huge opposition advantage, that is, in his prime, he has repeatedly blown up the former. And it's a crucial playoff game. This kind of head-to-head defeat of the opposition advantage accounted for too much in the impression stream of the year. Therefore, in the past few years, he has only appeared 3 MVPs and 4 rebounding kings. That is to say, after him, the NBA officially entered the era of "black and white" of "Big Bird vs Magic".

Abdul-Jabbar and his counterpoint were at an all-round disadvantage, and at this point the newspapers of the time wrote, "The end of the Tiangou era."

Yes, before 8485, this time Moses. Malone is a proper first center and the first person.

And he has also completed the so-called "absolute dominance proof", 82-83 season MVP + FMVP, a burst + one defense + rebounding king, whether it is "modern blowing" or not, you can't deny this ironclad fact. This guy with a height of only 208, he can actually fight in the body, and the NBA "Dark Age" with the most small movements dominates the league and dominates the inside, you say that he is not a monster, then you must underestimate him.

It's just that he has transferred a lot in his career, and he started his NBA career with ABA, so he is often ranked low in the league's promotional brochures and does not get the respect he deserves.

Moreover, this guy is also "wonderful", his physical hardware, in the NBA history super inside, is extremely "poor".

Or this "bad" is not big in quotation marks.

The height is short, the tonnage is not too sufficient, the palm is still small (very small, look at the picture with Dr. J, it is really blind), and the offensive skills were also sprayed by the "amateur and professional football emperors" at that time. However, he was the first person to enter the ranks of super scorers with "rough technique"!

In the 81-82 season, he averaged 31.1 points per game, and you have to figure out that this regular season scoring statistic, until he has not achieved the No. 5 position in the regular season. Well, including the four centers. So it's unbelievable that this guy is a magical character, and in terms of his height and size, he can become the interior hegemon for a period of time and the first person in the league in the so-called "NBA Dark Ages".

Rebounding is even more amazing, in that era of hand-to-hand combat, he can achieve the strongest title in the history of "invincible frontcourt rebounding king", which is even more amazing than the fact that he can average 30+ points per game. Because as I said before, the frontcourt rebounds are several times more difficult than the backcourt rebounds, but he is good, and he actually handed over 12+ frontcourt rebounds and 9+ frontcourt rebounds in the playoffs. Although it was all a round of data, and many people criticized it for the lack of gold content and too much chance, but being able to complete it twice, plus he is also the NBA league's all-time frontcourt rebounding leader, this is very revealing.

Others, simply impossible to approach this honor.

Probably only Chamberlain and Russell had this qualification.

And, and it's worth mentioning here, in those days, the competition for frontcourt rebounds was far more fierce than it is now. Because the three-point line has just appeared, many people and many teams still play the same way as before, and they don't pay attention to the three-point shot at all, so it is a normal phenomenon that the interior line has piled up heads. Consider Abdul-Jabbar's peak of 16+ rebounds that year, when he rebounded a measly 3.3 times in the frontcourt. You know the cruelty.

Moses. Ma Long, who is 208 tall, 215 pounds during his physical re-appearance, and will not exceed 250 pounds at his peak, this kind of "very average hardware" person, but he can become the first person in the league in those years. No one, no, superhuman, impossible.

Tang happened to run into him in the VIP channel, he had just finished playing the Celebrity Game, or just playing casually, and he only played for less than 10 minutes, but he still got close to 10 rebounds. This ability is staggering. After all, how old is he, 55 years old, he is about to be 60 years old, and he can still play like this, this is really a powerful body.

Just like Dr. J can show off a dunk at the age of 60, terrifying physical fitness.

Tang Qian politely said hello, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the latter and said, "Dongfang boy, did you really learn rebounding with Dennis?" ”

Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, is there anything wrong?" Mr? ”

Moses. Ma Long's voice seemed to be slowed down by 0.5 times, and he said slowly: "He teaches well, but there are still some small problems, which he can't teach you." ”

Tang Qian didn't understand the meaning of this passage, he didn't speak, and still waited patiently for the following.

Moses. Malone seemed to be satisfied that the former was not impatient, unhurried and impatient, and he continued to speak at his "super slow pace": "I used to point out Dennis when I was younger, and of course he didn't admit it afterwards, and in a way, I probably liked Charles a little more." Dennis is just focused on grabbing rebounds, and his offensive end is like Rotten Wood, which he can't carve at all. ”

Dennis. Rodman once accepted Moses. Malone's rebounding pointing? This is a rare "secret", at least Tang Qian has never heard of it before. But this is also normal, the NBA has been in the league for so many years, and it is not unusual for some stories to not be widely told. For example, how many people know that Jordan once performed the dangerous activity of "cutting watermelons with a katana" in public? And because of this, he was cut in his waist and abdomen, leaving a scar. Of course, this was a very popular "act of courage" in the United States in the 80s. It's not uncommon for people like Qiao Shen to go crazy.

But the latter words made Tang Qian stunned, Moses. Marlon said without foreshadowing: "Do you want to learn from me?" I only accept 5 million. ”

Moses. Marlon wants to teach me? This......
