Chapter 32: Senior Miller

Next, the two sides continued to fight.

Zhou Quan continued to play a high-intensity defense against John Dawkins in an attempt to limit his play and thus make Philadelphia lose its organizational function.

He has studied this year's stats for Philadelphia, which is the worst team in assists in the East, averaging just 21.4 assists per game and the fourth-lowest in the East in points per game.

What does this mean, it shows that Philadelphia is poor in organization and not good in offensive efficiency.

The Pistons didn't have the offense of the Smiling Assassins, and they couldn't do it offensively, so he had to strangle John Dawkins tonight, disrupt Philadelphia's organizational function, reduce its offensive efficiency, and then organize his own offense to have a chance to win.

In addition, there is a rebounding titan like Barkley, but Philadelphia has no height inside, the highest is only 208 centimeters, and the number of rebounds on the team is also the bottom of the East, which the Pistons also have an advantage.

The game went on, as John Dawkins was seen dead by Zhou Quan, Philadelphia lost its own playmaker, and the other four were left to fight on their own, with inefficient offense.

Although Barkley has some organizational skills, he is not an organizational point guard, he can't pinch the whole team together, and after getting the ball, he mainly attacks by himself, and can't play by himself, so he thinks about passing.

After point guard Hawkins got the ball, his first choice was also shooting, and today, like Barkley, he shot a lot.

At the end of the game, 84:96, the Pistons won by 12 points, won a streak, two wins and seven losses, and remained the bottom of the league.

Zhou Quan played 41 minutes, did not shoot much, and focused on organization and defense, shooting 3 of 7, 6 of 6 free throws, and getting 12 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

John Dawkins, who was opposite him, made 2 of 10 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers in 38 minutes, and got 4 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 5 turnovers and 1 foul.

Barkley finished with 23 points on 11-of-21 shooting, including 1-of-4 free throws.

Hawkins finished with 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting, 1-of-4 three-pointers and 2-of-3 free throws.

The Pistons dished out 26 assists as a team, while Philadelphia dished out just 17 assists.

The Pistons were also guaranteed to win, grabbing 49 rebounds, while Rodman grabbed 17 alone, Philadelphia only had 39, and Barkley grabbed only nine rebounds.

"Iron Fist, come to Philadelphia to help me, you fit our lineup very well." Before sending Barkley away, Fliggy recruited Zhou Quan again.

He is very aware of his team's problems, and his organizational skills are not good, and although Zhou Quan has only played 4 games, he has already shown very good organizational skills, and his defense is very good, and ordinary guards can't deal with him at all, this kind of heavy point guard is what the team needs.

"Oh, Charles, you want to make the playoffs this season, I don't think it's easy!" Zhou Quan changed the subject.

Barkley was fooled and said angrily: "That's impossible, we reached the second round last season, and we will go further this season." ”

Zhou Quan couldn't help laughing and said: "In the first nine games, you won five and lost four, the winning rate was only 55.5%, the organizational ability is not good, the rebounding is not good, the offense is not good, I think this winning rate will decline." By the way, what I said before the game works. ”

"I'm leaving, I'll blow you up next time." Barkley turned around and walked away, not at all nostalgic.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhou Quan was making breakfast when his pager suddenly rang.

"Catherine?"

Looking at the pager, which had a phone number and a name, he instantly remembered a beautiful face that was delicate and refined.

Last August, Catherine came to the United States for a vacation and happened to watch a hockey game in Los Angeles, where he singled out his opponent twice, knockout all of them, and attracted the girl, who was also attracted to her in the audience.

The two got acquainted after the game, had a good impression of each other, and fell in love with each other, no, it was love at first sight, and then they got together, and finally dated for a month, and then Catherine went back to the UK, and the two ended their brief relationship.

Everyone was very busy, and there was a time difference of a few hours, and after that, I occasionally contacted him, but not much, and the number on the pager was not Catherine's original number, probably a new contact information, and let him know.

He threw down his breakfast, went back to the living room to pick up his mobile phone, and as he went back to the dining room, he dialed Catherine's number from the pager.

"Harrow ......"

"Catherine, it's good to hear you!" Hearing a familiar voice on the other side, he immediately spoke.

"Hmph, Zhou, you haven't contacted me for half a year, and you haven't notified me when you entered the NBA, don't you want me at all?" Catherine snorted.

Zhou Quan sighed and said seriously: "Catherine, I really don't want to call you, because I'm afraid I won't forget you." ”

"Zhou, if you say a few more words like this, I might believe it, you lied to me like this last year." Catherine said angrily.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, beauty, then come to the United States to punish me." ”

"To be serious, Zhou, my career is not going well in the UK, I want to make movies, I don't want to be a model and make TV series." Catherine said.

"Movies, do you want to come to Hollywood? No, no, no, you must not come. He asked.

"Why?" Catherine asked unhappily.

"I'm afraid that if our old relationship rekindles, my other girlfriends will lose their chances, which is very unfair to them." Zhou Quan teased.

Knowing that it was a lie, Catherine was also overjoyed to hear it, and laughed: "Then let it be rekindled." Zhou, now that I've booked you, I'll let all your other girlfriends go away. ”

"Okay then, when are you going to come over and pay the deposit?" He asked.

"Next year at the latest, but it could come at any time."

Catherine added: "Zhou, I know in the UK that you were involved in two violent incidents when you first entered the NBA, or was it the same as when you entered the Bruins? ”

Zhou Quan said: "Yes, as a Chinese, I am alone, whether it is in the Bruins or the Pistons, if I want to gain a firm foothold, I am afraid it is impossible without this pair of fists."

There was no one to help me, no one to cover me, so I had to fight off those who wanted to bully me with my own fists. ”

Catherine sighed over there and comforted: "It's pitiful, then you wait for your sister to come, let your sister protect you, haha......"

“……”

was molested by a beautiful woman, and Zhou Quan had a black line on his face.

……

At noon, Zhou Quan went to the away stadium with the team and landed in Indiana at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After settling into the hotel, it was already half past four, and Reggie Miller picked him up from the hotel in his car.

"Iron Fist, you the postman again, and broke his ribs with one punch, is your fist really made of iron? This is something I didn't expect, and I guess no one in the alliance will dare to provoke you. ”

As soon as he got in the car, Miller shouted with joy.

"Reggie, do you think I like violence? I was forced to do it, or that guy might turn my head into a rotten watermelon at some point. Zhou Quan said helplessly.

Miller laughed and said, "I heard that you and Isaiah Thomas have reconciled, are you really reconciled?" That guy is not simple, very powerful, if it weren't for the injury, Jordan might not be able to win him this year, his temper is also very big, you beat him badly, can he easily reconcile? ”

"It's really reconciled." He nodded and smiled.
