Chapter 57: Jerry West Gets Insomnia
"How many people"
Zhou Quan stood up and asked as he walked towards the door.
"He's the only one." The staff hurriedly said.
Zhou Quan nodded and walked out of the locker room.
Behind was a string of Pistons players, with Darnell Walker at the front, followed by the Smiling Assassin and John Cely.
As soon as they went out, the postman had already approached.
"Iron Fist."
A low roar sounded, and the grim-faced postman broke through the dim light that fell and appeared in front of Zhou Quan.
"Postman." He replied.
The postman stared at Zhou Quan fiercely, gritted his teeth tightly, then looked at the others and said, "Follow me." With that, he turned and left.
"You stay here."
Zhou Quan confessed and followed.
"Do you guess the postman is going to take on the iron fist alone? Then he will lose, and the Iron Fist will kill him. Rodman asked excitedly.
"If he's going to go head-to-head, why should he avoid us?" Jo Dumas asked.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to beat and lose face." Darnell Walker said.
"Haha......"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Coming to a secluded corner, the postman stopped, turned around and stared at Zhou Quan fiercely, and spat out a sentence from between his teeth: "Let's have a boxing match." ”
"You pick the time, I choose the location." Zhou Quan smiled.
"Before the start of next season."
The postman had already thought about it, and immediately said.
“OK。”
Zhou Quan nodded, and after a little consideration, said: "The boxing match is definitely not allowed by the league and the team, and this matter must be kept secret and not let people know." Also, I'll find a gym in Los Angeles where we'll go head-to-head. ”
The postman immediately shook his head and said, "No, I will defeat you openly and wash away my shame." ”
Zhou Quan scolded: "You idiot, do you want to be banned by the league? ”
The postman said coldly: "I don't care, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm afraid? Even if I don't play basketball anymore, I'm more likely to go. Notify me in advance and let your agent contact my agent. ”
Zhou Quan smiled angrily, dropped a sentence and turned around and left.
"Wait and see!"
The postman's bloody eyes stared at Zhou Quan's back for a full dozen seconds before turning around and leaving.
"Iron Fist, what is the postman looking for you?"
As soon as Zhou Quan returned to the locker room, everyone immediately asked.
"He wants to be beaten by me one more time and has to fight me in an open fight before the new season starts." He said with a smile.
"What?"
Chuck Daley's voice rang out, and a figure appeared in the doorway.
"How's that going to work? Iron Fist, neither the league nor the team will allow it, you don't mess around. McCloskey's voice rang out and appeared behind Daley.
"There's no way I'm going to refuse his heads-up, that's a coward's behavior." Zhou Quan turned around and said.
Daley and McCloskey walked in, and the latter said helplessly, "Iron Fist, you have been poisoned by chivalry. ”
Daly asked, "Tekken, is the Postman going to fight you before the new season starts?" If I'm not mistaken, he's going to use the offseason to do boxing training, have you considered that? ”
Zhou Quan nodded and said: "There is no problem at all, he has such a big muscle, don't look at the bench press power, but he can't hit much damage at all, the punch speed is also very slow, and the body has no coordination, he practiced boxing at most in the offseason, and he can't change his physical fitness, with my current strength, I can easily deal with him." ”
Daley and McCloskey looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
However, the last time Zhou Quan knocked out the postman with one punch, they are still confident in the strength of the iron fist, and they are not too worried.
McCloskey said: "If this thing gets out, the league will definitely stop you, and what awaits you may be a ban. ”
Zhou Quan nodded: "I know this, if the alliance can stop the postman, then it is best, I am not interested in violent movements." ”
"Haha......" everyone laughed.
Daley and McCloskey also smiled helplessly.
They wanted to forcibly stop the boxing match between Zhou Quan and the postman, but they were afraid that it would backfire and stiffen the relationship, so they could only let Zhou Quan come.
At 8:15 p.m., the away team played, and Zhou Quan ushered in a hellish away game.
"Shh
When he first appeared, the entire Delta State Center Arena was like an erupting volcano, about to burn him, and the rumbling boos converged into rolling thunder for a long time.
Zhou Quan looked over, only to see countless suffocated red faces, on each face, there was a pair of eyes as sharp as knives, eager to nail him through with his gaze.
The postman stood in front of the home team's bench, staring at Zhou Quan fiercely, without saying a word.
Two hours later, in the absence of the Postman, the Pistons walked away with a win to claim their 13th win and the longest five-game winning streak of the season.
Zhou Quan reached the highest shot, 8 of 19 shots, 42% shooting, 4 of 6 free throws, once again hit 20+, and handed out 10 assists, and played 20+10 data for the second time.
He feels that after a month and a half of training, his shooting has stabilized, and his offensive efficiency has improved by two or three percentage points compared to when he first entered the league.
However, his technical level in the system has not been improved, considering it, it should be the technology or the same, what has been improved is experience, but the original technical strength has been brought into play.
On the 15th, the team returned to Detroit.
After waking up in the morning, he went to the personal training court, and after the event, he had a new round of pull-up jump shooting practice.
In the afternoon, he did another two hours of strength training, and when he rested, trainer Swilton weighed him and lost 200 grams.
He quickly opened the system and looked at it, the tonnage has not changed, it is still 95 kilograms, and other information has not changed.
Next, the Pistons fought back and won two in a row at home, for a total of seven wins, 15 wins and 11 losses, with a win rate of 57.7%.
On the 19th, at noon, the league announced the rookie ranking list for the third week of this month, and Zhou Quan was still in third place, second only to Mutombo and Larry Johnson.
He played in 21 games this season, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, shooting 5.46 of 13 from the field, shooting 42% from the field, 5.8 of 5.2 from the free-throw range, shooting 90% from the field, and averaging 16.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.9 turnovers and 2.5 fouls per game.
The Pistons have developed him a lot, and in terms of shots, he has the second-most shots of any rookie, and Larry Johnson is the first, with 15.3.
But he is a big forward, with a shooting rate of more than fifty percent, and he has to surpass him in terms of efficiency and data.
Fortunately, there is still time to catch up later, and his data and efficiency should slowly catch up.
At seven o'clock in the morning on the 20th, the Lakers, who had just lost to the Timberwolves, arrived in Detroit, and they will challenge the Pistons back-to-back tonight.
From the West to the East, the Lakers' physicality will be put to the test.
After the Lakers lost Magic, the All-Star James Worthy is the main team, and the current record is not bad, 16-8, 5-2 in the last seven games, from eighth in the West, and climbed to the fourth place.
General manager Jerry West was with the team, the players were sleeping on the plane, he was not in the mood to sleep, and after getting off the plane, he was not in good spirits.
When he arrived at the hotel, he was still not in the mood to sleep, holding two statistical tables in his hand and comparing them from time to time.
These two pieces of paper have been in his hands all night, and he has compared them I don't know how many times, which shows that his obsession is very heavy and he can't put it down at all.
