Chapter 30: Fourth place on the airborne rookie list

"Hey, Isaiah, I'm Charles." After handing over his luggage to his teammates, Barkley took out his mobile phone and called Thomas.

"Charles, what are you looking for me to do?" Thomas asked.

"Do you have Iron Fist's contact information? I'm very interested in him. Barkley grinned.

"Don't solicit him, or I won't let you go." Thomas is fierce.

"Haha, of course not."

Barkley denied it, and his heart moved.

yes, why not get Iron Fist a go? Michael, that guy openly says Iron Fist, and so can I.

He was just killed by Jordan in the second round of the Eastern Conference a few months ago, and the team's weakness is the outside, unable to defend against the Bulls, and being defended to death by the Bulls, and Iron Fist's defense is very good, and his organizational skills are also good, which is suitable for his team.

He got Zhou Quan's mobile phone number from Thomas and hurriedly called it.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Quan."

rang three times, and Zhou Quan connected the phone.

"Iron Fist? I'm Charles, Charles Buckley, I guess you know for sure that I am? I'm a big star. ”

Barkley shouted.

"Barkley? Oh hello, of course I know you, we have a game tonight. ”

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and looked at some of the information at hand, he happened to be studying Buckley's information.

Except for a slightly weaker defense, this is a hompy dumpty man who can fly all the way, can fly over the heads of the three super centers, and can grab rebounds, is one of the real superstars in the league, has a lot of personality, and has a lot of media attention.

"It's good, it's really good, to retire Ranbilgan, and now it's broken the postman's bones. I'm telling you, Iron Fist, that's all you have to be tough in the NBA, otherwise any piece of garbage will climb on your head and and pee. ”

At this point, Barkley beckoned, "You're a great boy, and you have an appetite for me. By the way, why don't you help me, let's create a big scene together. ”

Zhou Quan felt that the last sentence was a little familiar, smiled and said, "Charles, thank you for the invitation, but I think the Pistons are also good."

By the way, if you're not happy in Philadelphia, consider Detroit. You come here, I convince Thomas and Joe Dumas to make you the boss. ”

“……”

Barkley was stunned for a while, okay, who the hell is this recruiting whom? But don't say it, let him be the boss when he opens his mouth, the sincerity is more than him, and he is quite excited.

Zhou Quan picked up a pen and jotted down Buckley's phone number in the phone book.

This is the first superstar to contact him, and he has a good impression, so he will contact more in the future and expand his network.

At noon that day, the league officially announced this week's rookie rankings.

Zhou Quan played in three games, averaging 33 minutes per game, 13 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls.

He landed fourth on this week's rookie list, with the top three being No. 1 pick Larry Johnson and No. 4 pick Mutombo and prospect show Billy Owens.

Before the evening game, Zhou Quan took the initiative to go to the away team's dressing room and met with Barkley.

After shaking hands, he pulled out a pair of black hockey gloves from his butt pocket.

Barkley stepped back and said urgently, "Hey, boy, we have no grudges, don't throw that thing of yours, I won't take it." ”

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "These gloves are the gloves I used in the game when the Bruins won the championship this year, and I give them to you now." ”

"Great!"

Barkley took it with a grin and exclaimed, "I will collect the gloves of the strongest executioner in the NCAA, and then take them out for auction when you become famous." ”

He went back to the locker room to look for it, took a baseball cap out, and handed it to Zhou Quan with a reluctant face, shouting: "Iron Fist, this is given to me by my first girlfriend, I'll give it to you." ”

The smile on Zhou Quan's face froze, and he wanted to smash his hat on Barkley's face, do you think I'm wearing broken shoes?

Barkley laughed and explained, "Just kidding, just kidding, this is a special collector's item that was released after last year's MLB championship Minnesota Twins won the championship, and I finally got my hands on it and gave it to you." ”

"Charles, I think you're about the same height as me, huh?"

Zhou Quan was a little puzzled, isn't Barkley's official height 198 cm? That's not much taller than him, 195 centimeters at most.

Barkley instantly took a step back, annoyed and angry: "I'm 198 centimeters tall, and you're only 185 centimeters, what do you mean about the same?" I'm a lot taller than you, a lot taller. Do you know what a big cut is? It's that I'm a head taller than you. ”

"It's good if you're happy."

After chatting a few words, Zhou Quan took his leave.

After he left, Barkley returned to the locker room and a group of teammates immediately began to ask.

"Charles, what is that rookie looking for you?"

"Charles, this is an ice hockey glove, is Iron Fist looking for you to go head-to-head? Have you accepted it? ”

"Hey, Charles, have you ever fought an iron fist?"

"Charles, we should keep Rick Mahon, I'm afraid that once there is a conflict, you alone will not be able to stop the iron fist!"

Barkley snorted, raised the hockey glove in his hand, and said with a grin: "This is a gift from Iron Fist, his championship glove, so you don't have to worry, we are friends, he won't wave his fist at a friend." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a stiff old face and said seriously: "Besides, even if it's a fight, am I afraid of him?" He beat Ranbill, and I did. ”

"But he beat four by himself, and you only beat one. Moreover, you didn't beat the postman. Someone whispered.

"Who? Says who? Stand up for me, don't think you're short, I can't see you. ”

Barkley was short, surrounded by his teammates, unable to see who was talking, and yelled angrily.

"Haha......"

The Philadelphia locker room burst into laughter.

Zhou Quan was walking in a somewhat dimly lit corridor when suddenly a virtual screen flashed.

"In the next ten games, please play an average of 13 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2.8 turnovers and 2.2 fouls per game."

"Quest reward, +1 Agility, +1 Speed."

Zhou Quan looked at it and immediately calculated in his heart, according to the data of assists and turnovers, then in the next ten games, the assist-to-turnover ratio should reach 2.5, that is, 2.5 assists, only 1 mistake is allowed.

In terms of other statistics, it is close to his average data in the first three games, and the three rebounds, assists, and steals have improved.

This means that the system requires him to play a very stable performance, and he must also improve steadily.

As for the rewards, of course, I don't have to say, the best rewards.

If his agility and speed are increased while maintaining his current tonnage and strength, his explosiveness will also increase, and his physicality will make him a freak on the back line.

Think about it, when a small 95-kilogram tank breaks through like a small sports car and can make a sharp change of direction, who can stop him?
