Chapter 23: The Postman: A Chance to See Your Fists

"There is only one way in front of us now......"

Zhou Quan's voice continued to sound, he raised his right hand, suddenly clenched it into a fist, stared at everyone and said: "All of us must hold together, clench into a fist, and everyone form a joint force and work together to allow us to climb into the rotten pit where we are." So, are you willing to work together? ”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, all eyes look at the smiling assassin Thomas, and for a moment, there was some silence on the court of the palace in Auburn Hills.

Isaiah Thomas's mouth opened, and in the anticipation of everyone, he finally spit out a very short sentence: "I do." ”

"Oh roar!"

"I do!"

"I do, too!"

The scene suddenly erupted in excited cheers, the Pistons seemed to be resurrected, and the morale of the whole team was instantly high.

Zhou Quan walked over and stretched out his hand to Thomas, who also reached out, and their hands were tightly clasped together.

"It's a real reconciliation." McCloskey said happily.

"We have a new team leader." Chuck Daly said.

McCloskey was stunned, but immediately nodded again and again, and smiled excitedly: "Yes, this is a real leader, who can give up personal grievances, start from the overall situation, and pinch everyone together, this is the real leader."

Chuck, I don't need his potential to be at the level of Isaiah, just with his leadership skills, it's enough to lead this team. ”

Chuck Daly laughed, "Iron Fist's attack won't work, let Isaiah teach him." If not, he really has no offensive talent, and after Isaiah and Joe Dumas get old, he will have an offensive quarterback next to him, and he will only be responsible for organizing offense and defense. ”

"That's exactly what I thought about." McCloskey laughed.

……

"Slow, idiot, your shot is slower, more decisive, you have to speed up the pace of your shot, and your starting position is a little low, which increases the possibility of being cut off, and you have to readjust your shooting habits."

"Idiot, dribble a little lower, use your hand a little harder, your arm span is better than mine, don't let people steal your ball."

"Hey, rookie, you have a problem with your shot, you have a problem with your hand movements, it will affect the shooting percentage, this is the wrong shooting posture, you have to practice again."

"Damn, the stop-and-go jump shot wasn't well coordinated, it was stiff, it didn't have rhythm at all. Also, if you don't jump high enough, you need to strengthen your lower limbs and core. ”

"Be more ferocious when defending! Have the momentum to bleed your opponent. Don't look at me, I know you don't like to bleed your opponent and don't want to be a bad boy, but you must have that momentum, the momentum to bite the opponent to death, the momentum to die with the opponent, and the momentum to make the opponent timid. ”

"You must deter your opponent, as long as he dares to pass by you, pounce on him and kill him, and do everything to stop him!"

"Shit, Iron Fist, with garbage technology like you, you want to be the boss of the Detroit Pistons too? You're still far from it. ”

While Zhou Quan was training, Isaiah Thomas stood aside and shouted loudly from time to time.

After being trained for a long time, he finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Old bird, when did I say that I want to be the boss of the Pistons?" ”

Thomas also said angrily: "Everyone here knows, even the floor under your feet, only you don't know." ”

"Haha......"

The crowd on and around the pitch burst into laughter.

"You say, Joe, Isaiah wouldn't deliberately retaliate, would he? I think Tekken's offense is better than mine. Rodman walked up to Jo Dumas and whispered.

"Better than you, that's not good, that's just not too bad."

Jo Dumas complained, smiled and said, "No, what he said is indeed the inadequacy of the Iron Fist." Iron Fist has a lot of energy, Isaiah is helping him, he won't be angry. ”

……

In the evening, at half-past six, Sir arrived at the palace of Auburn Hills.

The Jazz are a strong team in the West, having made the playoffs for eight consecutive seasons, finishing fifth in the Western Conference regular season last season, and being eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the second round with a score of 4-1, after 4 wins and 3 losses, temporarily ranked third in the West.

Several reporters followed Sir into the palace of Auburn Hills, taking the opportunity to ask questions.

"Carl, Ranbir is retiring, how do you feel about it?" A TNT reporter asked.

"It's a pity that he was by a rookie, and I lost a good opponent." Karl Malone laughed.

He and Ranbir are both one of the four evildoers, and because one is in the east and the other is in the west, there is no competition, so there is a feeling of sympathy, and now Ranbir is forced to retire, he has a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

"Mr. John Stockton, Isaiah is here too, you have taken his Olympic spot, do you want to say something to him?"

A local reporter asked.

Stockton said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't grab anyone's position, they are short of people, call me, I just went." ”

Karl Malone said loudly with a cold face at this time: "John is qualified to be selected for the Olympic men's basketball team, he doesn't have to rob anyone." If Isaiah Thomas wants trouble with John, let him come at me. ”

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

Jazz: Mark Eaton, Carl Malone, Blue Edwards, Jeff Malone, John Stockton

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

Eight o'clock short, start.

"You're Iron Fist?"

Karl Malone looked at Zhou Quan from above.

"Hello, Dr. Iron Elbow."

The smiling Zhou Quan nodded politely.

Malone's cheeks twitched, it was his nickname, but few people called him that to his face, and he was generally called the postman.

"Your name is Iron Fist, I don't know how hard your fist is, I hope you can show me if you have a chance." He said with a cold face.

A gentle smile appeared on Zhou Quan's face, and he nodded and said, "As long as there is a chance, I will definitely do it." ”

“……”

The postman's face froze.

At this time, the visiting team came out, and John Stockton pulled Malone, and the two went out one after another.

Finally, there is the mammoth Mark Eaton, and the giant said to Zhou Quan before going out: "Little rookie, you have angered Carl, this is a pretty bad thing for you. ”

"Really? May I ask where I him off? Zhou Quan said in surprise.

"He's a superstar, this league is the world of superstars, as a latecomer, you should be more humble to him." Mark Eaton pointed.

"Understood, thank you for your advice." Suddenly realized, Zhou Quan nodded.

Seeing Zhou Quan's attitude so good, Mark Eaton went out satisfied.

Jo Dumas hurriedly advised: "Iron Fist, you must be careful when you break in, Mark Eaton's block doesn't matter, at most a few hats, it doesn't matter, but you must be careful of the postman's elbow, his strength is much greater than Bill, he is a bit similar to Bill, or even more ruthless." ”

"I know." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

A minute later, at the beckoning of the host, he appeared.

It was his third game, his first home game.
