On this day, Zhou Quan began to do emergency stop jump shooting training.

He trained for a while, and accidentally looked at the system, only to realize that the system had a counter for his pull-up jump shot training, he had practiced about fifty times just now, but the counter only showed 41 times.

"Is the shooting posture not standard?"

This is the only explanation, the posture is not standard, it will definitely affect the quality of the shot, it seems that the requirements of the system are very strict.

In addition, the strength training continues, and the schedule is quite tight, which is also a test of his physical fitness.

That night, the Pistons defeated the Mosaics, who didn't have big dreams, 8-9, and improved their winning rate to 47%, surpassing the Hawks and Heat in one fell swoop, and rushed into the top eight in the East, ranking eighth.

No. 3, the Pistons lost to the visiting Pacers at home, and the two sides fought one win and one loss.

8-10, but the Heat also lost, so the Pistons are still in eighth place in the East.

After playing this game, Zhou Quan completed the ten tasks assigned by the system.

In these ten games, he averaged 37.2 minutes per game, 14.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls.

The requirements of the system were 13 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 0.5 blocks, 2.8 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, and he just finished it.

In these 10 games, the assist-to-turnover ratio has reached 3, which is the standard of a good point guard, and he feels that it should be maintained.

But the shooting percentage is a little low, 41.7%, and the potential of the wave shooting king is full.

The rewards are +1 Speed and +1 Agility, and now he has a speed of 89 and an agility of 91.

In addition, he has entered three days of emergency stop jump shooting training, non-standard shooting is not counted, an average of about 250 times a day, this is the current limit, any more will affect the state of the game.

In this way, it takes at least 12 days for each training session, and if you add the time for rest and adjustment, it will take about half a month to complete it, and it will take two to two and a half months to five consecutive sessions.

On the 4th, Shak O'Neal, the NBA draft champion who previously said that he would carefully consider the draft, was interviewed by the media.

"I saw some changes in the league, they were kind to the rookies, and Iron Fist was getting a good deal with the Pistons, which reassured me, so after careful consideration, I officially decided that I would be in the '92 NBA Draft."

"Great!"

After getting the news, even David Stern couldn't help but be very happy that the negative impact caused by the last Pistons locker room brawl was finally basically eliminated.

No. 5, the Pistons lost again at home to the strong Cavaliers, while the Heat also lost in a row and remained eighth in the East.

Overnight, the Pistons rushed to Washington, where a back-to-back game awaited them.

No. 6, the Pistons beat the Bullets, 9-11, and still in eighth place in the East.

On the seventh, the Pistons returned to Detroit, and after two days of rest, the ninth rushed to Phoenix West.

Zhou Quan is no stranger to this desert city, because the University of Arizona, along with Arizona State University and UCLA, are both part of the NCAA Pacific 10 League, and the University of Arizona is in Tucson City, close to Phoenix, and Arizona State University is in Phoenix.

When he was with the Bruins, because he played on both the basketball and ice hockey teams, he had a lot of opportunities to play here every season.

On the 10th, the Suns' home arena.

It's called the Veterans Memorial, and it's an old arena.

Suns owner Jerry Colangelo is building a new arena, construction began in '88, and it has been confirmed that it will be put into use in June next year, sponsors have been found, American Airlines has become the title sponsor, and the new arena is referred to as the West Arena.

The Suns were third in the West last season, eliminated by the Jazz in the first round, and currently have a 12-9 record, a 57% win rate, seventh in the West, but only one win away from the Spurs and SuperSonics in front.

In the away team's locker room, Zhou Quan holds a piece of paper with Kevin Johnson's information on it.

Kevin Johnson, a black point guard, was the No. 7 pick in the first round in '87, with a naked height of 182 cm and a weight of 82 kg.

He averaged 20 points and 10 assists per game in his first three seasons, an accolade comparable to Oscar Robertson and Isaiah Thomas, the only three of them in league history to complete this statistic, scoring 20 points + 10 assists in three consecutive seasons.

This season's 19.7 points, 10.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.5 turnovers, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.05, no worse than the previous three seasons, is still a peak performance.

Strong leadership ability, strong scoring ability, whether it is knocking to score, or threading the needle, omnipotent, good offense and defense, extremely fast, known as black lightning, good at breaking through the violent dunk, once completed the violent dunk on the head of Olajuwon, is a representative of offensive basketball.

In terms of honors, two All-Stars, three All-Second Team Awards, and one Season of the Month, if it weren't for Magic Johnson in the West, he would have gotten more hard honors.

"It's too strong! If it weren't for the lack of hard honors, this strength could be compared to Isaiah. He couldn't help but sigh.

Isaiah Thomas had already noticed it, and then said, "Iron Fist, you are going to be beaten by him this time." This guy is really strong, he can compete with Magic, Jordan, not much worse than me, and now he is still in his prime. ”

Qiao Dumas hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily, Iron Fist, you have your advantage, great strength, and it should be the most suitable way to eat him." ”

Zhou Quan smiled and nodded, this is indeed a way.

He didn't just start to get to know Kevin Johnson now, he started studying the opponent's information yesterday, but there was no good way, after all, the gap in hard power was there.

At this time, head coach Chuck Daley said: "The Suns are averaging 112.1 points per game this season, second in the West, and second only to the Pacers in the East, with full offensive firepower. ”

"Coach, how much are we?" Zhou Quan asked.

"At 96.5 points, we're at the bottom of the league, not even as good as the Mavericks and Nuggets, and our three teams are also the league-wide teams averaging less than 100 points per game," Chuck Daley said. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said with a smile: "Of course, our average points per game is also the first in the league, and there are only the Bulls, Knicks, and us in the whole league, the average points conceded by the three teams are less than 100 points per game, and all of them are Eastern teams, and no team in the West has conceded less than 100 points."

But there's nothing to be happy about, we're conceding 98.1 points per game at the moment, which is more than our average points per game, and that's a shame on us, and we're all going to be ashamed. ”

Including Zhou Quanzai, all the players couldn't help but bow their heads.

Defensive assistant coach Relo Wilt said: "Beal's retirement has given us a lot less defensive energy, otherwise we would have defended better.

However, Iron Fist's defense on the outside has topped Thomas's shortcomings, and now that Thomas is back, the outside defense of our bench lineup can also be improved, plus Rodman plays the power forward position, John Sely's defense is also very good, and the overall defense will rise by a piece, and our defense is still the first in the league. ”

Daley shook his head and said: "Iron Fist and Isiah can indeed make our No. 1 position the best defensive position in the league, and Rodman will also improve the quality of interior defense and rebounding, but Beal's deterrent under the basket is irreparable, they didn't dare before, and now they dare to attack our basket." ”

When he said this, not only him, but also Thomas, John Sely, Rodman, and other old men of the Bad Boy Army, all had a burst of pride in their hearts.

For he is not referring to any one individual, but to the entire alliance.

At that time, with the Pistons of Ranbill, no one dared to storm their basket with recklessness, and if you dared to come in, I would dare to play, because no one wanted to pay off their career for an offense.

Of course, there is not no one, there is such a person, there is such a team, dare to challenge them, that person is Michael Jordan, that team is the Bulls.

Every game between them and the Bulls is an epic matchup, both before and after the game, it is full of battlefield-like slaughter, and it is all exciting.

It's a pity that they can't help but sigh that the first regular season game with the Bulls this season is missing Ranbier and Thomas, and there is no longer the taste it used to be.

Although Iron Fist is tough, he is not a bad boy after all, and he can't play the kind of game that wants to make Jordan bloody and kill.

Because without Ranbir and Thomas, Jordan doesn't have the murderous spirit he used to face the Pistons, and he's a lot calmer.

Daley continued, "Now our perimeter defense is stronger than it used to be, so we can learn from the Bulls and make our defense stronger.

What did the Bulls rely on on the defensive end to keep their points conceded below 100 points? Jordan and Pippen's perimeter defense, quick rotation and pinch shots.

When the opponent breaks through, they don't wrap it up in the first place, they deliberately take a slow step and let the ball carrier burst in.

Only when the ball carrier really goes in and encounters the inside defense, they will take the opportunity to go in and attack, and at this time, the ball carrier's vision is affected and they are no longer able to distribute the ball outside.

And if the opponent wants to divide the ball before entering the paint area, at this time the Bulls' outside line has not been packed, and the offensive side's outside line does not have an open opportunity at all, so there is no chance to divide the ball. ”

Ray Lo Wilton said with some excitement: "It is true that we can learn the Bulls' style of play, we are now stronger on the outside, Joe, Isaiah, Iron Fist, are all first-class outside defensive players, and with John and Dennis on the inside, we can play the defense like an iron bucket." ”

Chuck Daly said: "Now our main problem is attacking, Iron Fist's individual offensive efficiency is a bit low, and this problem cannot be solved quickly at the moment, we can only hope that Iron Fist can mature as soon as possible." ”

Everyone looked at Zhou Quan, and he didn't blush, and he didn't feel embarrassed.

Rookie, not every rookie is a person like Magic Johnson and Jordan who was born with his own system, he is just an ordinary rookie, the starting point is a lot lower than them, just catch up.
