Chapter 58: Zhou, Do You Still Know Me?

The Magic retired due to illness, and he traded from the SuperSonics to bring in the main point guard Sredal Slater, who is currently averaging 37 minutes per game, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2 steals and 2.2 turnovers, performing well.

In addition to the Lakers' first-round pick No. 25 and second-round pick, he also had three nice role players on the canvas.

However, compared with rookie Zhou Quan, this data does not appeal to him at all.

"Even though the potential is far inferior to that of a magician, the ceiling is at least a first-class point guard in offense and defense, and it has been cultivated and can be used for many years, I am really wrong."

Sitting on the single sofa in the room, he muttered.

Now that I think about it, if the No. 25 pick in the first round is used to trade upwards, the Lakers' chances of getting Zhou Quan are no less than those of the Pistons.

And Zhou Quan is a local rookie, and the first team to try out is the Lakers, and he must have a sense of belonging to the Lakers, and he missed an opportunity.

This evening, the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At 86:113, the Pistons exploded on both ends of the floor and defeated the Lakers, who lost their Magic, to a big win.

Zhou Quan played for 35 minutes, and against Sreit, who was the same height and only 79 kilograms in tonnage, like a tank against a small sports car, he directly ran over him.

He shot 8-of-15 from the field and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, and scored a double-double of 22 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, with excellent performances on both offensive and defensive ends.

The Lakers controlled Slater with 4 of 10 shots, only 8 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 6 turnovers.

Although his speed is faster than Zhou Quan, the breakthrough effect is not good, either because of the failure of the physical confrontation, or because he has to take two steps, and when he goes around, Zhou Quan has often retreated in advance.

On the defensive end, Sruiter is not an opponent, he was knocked away by Zhou Quan many times, and he has lost the will to fight later.

Jerry West was shocked by Zhou Quan's performance in this game, especially the situation where Zhou Quan and Slater were in the opposite position, which seemed to be not on the same level, showing a crushing situation.

After the game, Jerry West walked to the Pistons bench, stretched out his hand to Zhou Quan, and smiled: "Hey, Zhou, do you still know me?" ”

"Hello, Mr. West." Zhou Quan shook hands politely and smiled.

Chuck Daley is not easy to mess with, Zhou Quan is half an Angelene, he knows that the first team Zhou Quan tried out for was the Lakers, and when he saw West coming to talk, he immediately walked over, pulled West to the player tunnel, and said, "Jerry, go, I'll treat you to a drink." ”

West smiled wryly and could only follow.

"Let's go, let's go back to the locker room."

Zhou Quan greeted his teammates and walked towards the players' tunnel.

"Iron Fist, you beat his main point guard, the other party is an old bird, and you are just a rookie, and you have a lot of potential, he covets you."

Entering the players' tunnel, Joe Dumas couldn't help but say.

Rodman, who grabbed 18 rebounds today, shouted as if he had no intention: "The Lakers have money, iron fist, they may poach you, haha, you have a chance to return to the world of flowers, where you can find a lot of sponsors, you are going to send it, you are originally from there." ”

Everyone else looked over and stopped in the players' tunnel.

Especially the smiling assassin, who has a particularly strange look in his eyes.

"My rookie contract has just begun, and the team has developed me like this, so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." After looking at them, Zhou Quan said directly.

"That's good."

Jo Dumas breathed a sigh of relief.

Rodman was also secretly relieved, he didn't want Zhou Quan to leave.

Before the age of 25, he was an airport security guard, introverted, timid, shy, shy, with no future, and even thought about suicide.

And in the Pistons, he met Chuck Daley, and every Christmas, Mr. Coach would call him to his home for Christmas together, and he felt like a father to Daley.

He knows very well what kind of feelings Coach Daley has for this team, and now the team puts the hope of rebuilding on Iron Fist, if Iron Fist leaves, Coach Daley will be very disappointed, and even choose to leave the Pistons, which he has long understood, he doesn't want Coach Daley to leave, so he doesn't want Iron Fist to leave.

Moreover, by the side of Iron Fist, he felt courage and security despite the lack of fatherly love.

He'd felt this way since Tekken took out Ranbir, and as long as Tekken was in front of him, he felt that he also had the courage to punch at the person who humiliated him, not just trash.

Isaiah Thomas didn't know whether he wanted Iron Fist to leave or stay just now, but when he heard Zhou Quan say that he wouldn't leave, he was relieved anyway.

He was only a little surprised by his reaction, perhaps, he was old and had come to terms with his current situation.

"Let's go."

Zhou Quan waved his hand and walked ahead.

“GOGO。” John Cely hurriedly agreed.

"Iron Fist, shall we go for a drink together?" Darnell Walker asked with a smile.

"I think it's better to have a party, I'm going to call a few more chicks." Rodman chuckled excitedly.

Zhou Quan thinks their advice is good, it's almost Christmas, the next game is the 26th, there has been no game for a few days, just relax.

"Isaiah, Joe, what about you?" He asked.

"Let's be together, then." Jo Dumas said.

Thomas nodded as well.

And just like that, two hours later, a crowd of Pistons players poured into one of Detroit's best nightclubs.

"That chick is good, she dances awesomely!"

"I like that Mexican girl with chocolate-like skin."

asked for a semi-open bag, and after a group of hormonal guys sat down, they began to judge the ladies on the stage.

"Hey, Isaiah, Big Worm."

"Hey, John."

"Hey, Iron Fist."

From time to time, people come to greet them, they all know them, and it is not surprising that they come here for fun.

"Iron Fist, you don't seem to have a girlfriend?" Jo Dumas sat next to Zhou Quan and asked curiously.

"The previous girlfriend has broken up a long time ago, and the new girlfriend has not yet been settled, and now is my window period. But there's already a pretty girl booking me, and she'll show up at any time. Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Haha, do you hear that? There's a girl who has booked Iron Fist. Darnell Walker, next to Jo Dumas, shouted loudly when he heard it.

"Oh, Iron Fist, who is it?"

"Iron Fist, is she from Detroit?"

"Iron Fist, did she pay the deposit?"

"Deposit? I even took the principal, which is my former girlfriend. Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Oh, it turned out to be a revival of old love, haha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Over the next few days, Zhou Quan immersed himself in strength training, and by Christmas Day on the 25th, after almost a month of training, his tonnage had been reduced by 350 grams.

After turning on the system, his original level 85 injury resistance was increased to level 86, level 90 physical fitness was increased to level 91, and level 88 bounce was increased to level 89, and his strength training began to bear fruit.

"Weeks, then you're going to lose a little bit more slowly." Swilton said.

"I know."

Swilton gave him a year-long strength training program to slowly sculpt his body.

A year later, he's 90 kilograms, and he still has a lot of strength and a duel advantage at back, but he's faster athletic, has better bounces, and he's fitter.

His strength training was more complex and harder than Jordan's weight gain, Jordan simply increased muscles, while he sculpted the muscles that already existed, reduced the quality of absolute strength, increased muscle speed, muscle endurance, and changed its quality.
