On November 1, 1991, the regular season began, and the NBA league 91/92 season officially began.

The Lakers announced on this day that Magic Johnson missed the game due to injury.

On this day, the Pistons faced the Bucks at home, and the opening game ended in a crushing defeat due to the team's incomplete lineup.

In the next few games, the Pistons, whose lineup was seriously unorganized and demoralized, suffered another consecutive defeat, and the new season showed a decline.

From the 7th, Zhou Quan began to train with the ball, but it still took a few days to adapt, and the team doctor did not allow him to play immediately.

At noon that day, the Lakers announced a major event.

The league's superstar, Magic Johnson, a magic man who thousands of girls are willing to dedicate, unfortunately contracted AIDS and announced his retirement.

This news shocked countless people.

When many women in Los Angeles heard the news, they were so frightened that they rushed to the hospital for testing as soon as possible.

Especially the Lakers, from the management to all the players, even all the staff, the security personnel, all went to the hospital en masse.

It is conceivable that countless men will flock to the hospital in the following period.

"I, I have measures, I shouldn't be tricked, right?"

When Zhou Quan knew the news, he also wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, he had been in Los Angeles for two years, couldn't resist the temptation, and had some girlfriends in UCLA, and even dated a British female star for a while.

Like him, there are countless players in the four major professional sports leagues in North America who want to run to the hospital and get a doctor to get a lab test order at this moment.

On the 9th, the league officially issued a ban on players from falling in love with cheerleaders. And in the future, this clause will also be added to the player contract.

On the 10th, the Pistons lost to the Bullets at home, opening a five-game losing streak.

As of this day, John Sailly and Mark Aguirre's suspensions were lifted, and the team doctor informed the team that Zhou Quan was available to play.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th, the Pistons arrived in Chicago.

Zhou Quan and Jo Dumas were in the same room, and after settling in, it was already half past three, when there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Zhang, right?"

When he opened the door, a Chinese man in his forties immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Zhou, I finally saw you." Zhang Li nodded happily and smiled.

He came to the United States in 88 years and worked on the University of Chicago basketball team, and contacted Zhou Quan after knowing him, but he never met.

"Let's go, let's go have a cup of coffee."

After Zhou Quan turned around and greeted Qiao Dumas, he took Zhang Reasonable and left.

"Xiao Zhou, one against four, you just entered the team and overturned the bad boy army, you are too fierce! When I saw the news, I was shocked! ”

As soon as he sat down in the café, Zhang Li couldn't wait to say, "Is there a chance to play this game today?" ”

'Thomas hasn't come back yet, so I should have a chance to play tomorrow and now it's not in the squad and maybe even starts.' Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Great!"

Zhang said excitedly.

To be honest, he was stunned when he heard the news that day.

In the United States for three years, he knew the name of the Bad Boy Army, which was to deter the entire NBA league, but he didn't expect to be overthrown by Zhou Quan several times.

On the evening of the 12th, United Center Arena.

At half-past six, in the visiting dressing room, head coach Chuck Daley prepares to announce the starting line-up.

He took a look at the players, the morale was very poor, there was no morale of the previous bad boy army, this team was really finished, after two consecutive championships, it had lost all its sharpness, and this locker room violence completely buried this team.

"Center John Sely, power forward Orlando Ulrich, small forward Dennis Rodman, point guard Joe Dumas, point guard Zhou Quan."

The Pistons have fifteen men, a total of seven guards, plus the swingman Mark Aguirre, who actually has eight guards.

Now that Thomas is away, Joe Dumas is the starting point guard, and Mark Aguirre is the backup for Rodman, leaving five guards left.

Among these five, Charles Thomas, who is on the verge of losing the draft, has a base salary on a non-guaranteed contract, has little strength, and certainly cannot be the starting point guard.

There are also two veterans who are retiring as heads and cannot be the starting point guard.

The remaining two, in addition to Zhou Quan, are Lance Blanks, the No. 26 pick in the first round in '90, the penultimate pick for the first time.

However, last season proved that Blanks had little potential to develop and had been abandoned.

Therefore, in fact, the Pistons have so many guards, but now only Zhou Quan can play the starting point guard, and this is the reason why he said to Zhang Li yesterday that he may start, and the team has no choice at all.

At half past seven, the two sides announced their starting lineups.

Pistons: John Cely, Orlando Ulrich, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumas, Zhou Quan.

Bulls: Bill Carter White, Horres Grant, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, John Paxson

The match was broadcast live across the United States by TNT, and the commentators were Robert Jeddah and Ringer Wilson.

At this time, Wilson smiled and said: "Iron Fist starts, this is the reward he deserves." ”

Gilda laughed happily, "The entire alliance has to thank the Dragon Terminator." ”

Wilson laughed: "Michael Jordan openly solicited Iron Fist, he didn't respond, and the Pistons turned down all trades.

I would say that Pistons management is swinging and they don't have any plans to operate on the roster. ”

"Yes, they're rotten, so this season's Pistons are going to be rotten to the bone, and they're going to fight for the top pick." Jeddah laughed.

At 7:40 a.m., the starters of both teams met in the hallway.

There was no smiling assassin, and there was no Ranbir, Jordan was in a good mood, with a smile all over his face.

He's happy to see the Pistons collapse, he's suffered too much at the hands of the Bad Boys, and if it weren't for this team, he might have even started his era three years early.

"Hello, Iron Fist."

He was in a very good mood, and even took the initiative to extend his hand to Zhou Quan.

"Hello, Michael."

Zhou Quan, who had a gentle smile on his face, shook it and let it go.

"This rookie, is he planning to surrender to Jordan?"

Seeing the action of the two shaking hands, John Sailly felt very dazzling, and his mood instantly deteriorated.

Rodman and Joe Dumas also felt a little emotional, but the mood was not as bad as John Sely, but they missed Isaiah Thomas a little, and Thomas would never shake Jordan's hand.

After being swept in the Eastern Conference finals last year, they didn't shake hands with the Bulls at all and walked off the court under Thomas's leadership, which in Thomas's view was a tough sign of not bowing to their opponents, and Thomas's thoughts were their thoughts.

"Iron Fist, don't you want to help me? In the Bulls, there is absolutely no such thing as a piston. Jordan, who was smiling, greeted him in person.

"Thanks, the Pistons won't have anything like that again, I have the ability to handle them. If you can't do it once, then come a few more times, bad boys, there must be a fear of the Lord. ”

Zhou Quan's smile was very gentle, and his tone was also gentle, but what he said was not gentle, which made Jordan's heart shrink.

Zhou Quan said: "Since the Pistons management selected me and is willing to train me, then I am a part of the Pistons."

Even though I don't belong to the Bad Boys, but as a member of the Pistons, and the Bulls are the Pistons' mortal enemies, the only thing I can do in the face of you is to do everything I can to defeat you, not join your team. ”

“……”

Jordan's cheeks twitched several times, and the smile on his face disappeared completely,

Looking at the smile on Zhou Quan's face, listening to these words with sharpness and determination, he seemed to see another smiling assassin, a young, smiling assassin full of sharpness and fearlessness, a smiling assassin who had made him suffocate for many years.

Because Zhou Quan is very similar to the smiling assassin, he actually doesn't like it very much, and this time, he immediately looked at Zhou Quan coldly, and he no longer had the heart to solicit.

And Rodman, Joe Dumas, and John Sely, when they heard this, immediately laughed, and their bad mood instantly brightened.
