At this time, Philadelphia's record continued to decline and had left the top eight, Barkley was greatly questioned, the team management also lost confidence in him, and he himself had the idea of leaving Philadelphia.

At noon that day, he suddenly received a notice from management that he had been traded and that the team would send him to the West, and he would be a part of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"And this kind of good thing?"

Unexpected surprise, this is definitely an unexpected surprise.

The Lakers, after the unexpected retirement of the Magic, have lost the qualification to win the championship, if he joins the Lakers, with the Lakers' attraction to stars, and the Lakers' financial resources, he will be able to quickly build a luxurious championship team, then his championship dream has a chance to come true.

He immediately called a group of friends, started a celebratory party, and poured a stomach full of wine despite the competition in the evening.

"Charles, the deal was aborted, Philadelphia pulled out of the deal."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, while the party was still going on, his agent called.

"What did you say?"

"Philadelphia management didn't make a decision, and they pulled out of the deal."

"You're kidding, dude?"

"No, Charles, it's true, they just quit me."

"Shet!"

Hearing the news in a daze, he didn't react for a while, and by the time he reacted, he was already sitting on the floor with the wine bottle in his hand thrown on the floor.

……

"According to reliable sources, at that time Michael Jordan first provoked Iron Fist, and then Iron Fist countered ......"

At eight o'clock in the evening of this day, a TNT news program suddenly broke the news that before the Battle of Auburn Hills, Michael Jordan and Zhou Quan had clashed off the field, and even the details were described in detail, as if the reporter was there.

This revelation immediately shocked the whole league.

"Bang ......"

"Iron Fist, I'm not done with you!"

"Damn traitor!"

After Jordan learned the news, although he was mentally prepared, he was still so angry that he smashed a lot of things, scolding Zhou Quan and his teammates who revealed the news.

Soon, before he could finish venting his anger, his home phone and mobile phone rang like crazy.

"Bang! Bang! ”

I ran over and picked up the landline and mobile phone, and smashed it again.

As far away as New York, Stern was also reported and learned of the news.

"No, in the future, we have to find a way to get the iron fist out of Detroit, it's better to go to the West, he and Michael are in charge, five regular season games a season, plus the playoffs, staying in the East will break the head."

He seemed to see Jordan being beaten with an iron fist and his head was bleeding, and he couldn't help but think about it.

But it's also quite difficult to implement, the Pistons won't agree, and Iron Fist himself doesn't know what his attitude is, and he needs to slowly find an opportunity.

……

After a two-day break in Detroit, the Pistons traveled to Minnesota on the 22nd, and after beating the Timberwolves on the 23rd, they traveled to Chicago overnight, where they will take on the Bulls on the 24th, in back-to-back games.

The Assassin Thomas remained in Detroit and did not travel with the team due to injury, while John Sely, the lightly injured Spider, accompanied the team.

The Assassin was in a bad condition, and the injury had aggravated his old injury, and the team doctor expected that his injury was likely to cause an accelerated decline in form.

Chicago and the Bulls have been in a gloomy fog these days, hurting more people, and being rubbed on the floor by the media, and the prestige of slaughtering the dragons in last year's Eastern Conference finals was tossed away by a game, and now they have become dragons, and the Pistons have stood on the moral high ground.

Fortunately, Nike and other sponsors have stepped up, and the league is also secretly contributing, through some media efforts, so that the situation began to slowly improve, but if you want to really reverse the situation, you can't do it in a short time.

Record-wise, after they left Detroit, they were beaten by the Suns on the road, making their first losing streak of the season.

24, United Center Arena.

John Seley's face was still a little swollen and he didn't make the starting lineup.

On the Bulls side, Carter White, Grant, John Paxson and other three main players all missed the game.

Both Cartwhite and John Paxson are only role players, and the loss to the Bulls is not too big, but Grant's absence has a big impact on the Bulls.

The vast majority of media predicted that the Pistons would win this game on the road, and the Bulls would have lost three in a row.

Outside the home team's locker room, general manager Jerry Claus said to his assistant: "When the main team comes out later, wait for the away team to go out, and then arrange for Michael and them to go out, don't let them meet off the field." You go and inform the host of what I mean, and ask him to pay attention to the appearance time. ”

"Got it, sir." The assistant hurriedly went.

Klaus sighed secretly, he should have traded and signed in the first place, if he got the iron fist, why did he have today?

He knew some of Tekken's abilities, such as the ability to cause conflict, which was professional for Tekken, and he was worried that if he met off the court again, Jordan would likely fall into the pit that Tekken dug again.

……

Players Tunnel, Mr. Away Team.

"Iron Fist, be careful, they'll definitely boo you when you go out."

Zhou Quan was the first to go out, and before going out, Jo Dumas ran up and grabbed his arm and admonished.

"Don't worry."

He nodded, and walked out.

"Shh

The moment he appeared outside the passage, the United Center Arena began to sweep through everything like a twelve-level tornado suddenly blowing.

"Detroit scoundrels, get out of the Union Center!"

"Falk oil!"

He received an epic welcome, with a tsunami of boos, middle fingers, and invective like thunder, and 20,000 Bulls fans venting their anger at him, and even a lot of debris thrown at him.

In a word, he has become the most hated man in Chicago, even more so than the Bad Boys.

Qianfu pointed out that people who died without illness and who have not experienced this kind of scene cannot understand how great the pressure is to be booed and abused by 20,000 people at the same time, and the overwhelming pressure can make the strongest people with the strongest willpower also have the possibility of collapse.

Whether it was Chuck Daly and McCloskey, or Joe Dumas and others, they all looked at Zhou Quan nervously at this time, worried that he would be crushed by this terrible pressure.

Fortunately, Zhou Quan's mental willpower has reached the full level, and his psychological quality is naturally strong, he took a deep breath, his usual gentle smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to the fans, braving the "rain of bullets" and slowly walked to the court.

"Let's go, let's follow."

Behind him, Jo Dumas waved his hand and followed.

"Iron Fist, can you say something?"

Some reporters from behind the bottom line rushed over and poked a couple of microphones into his mouth.

As he walked forward, his voice rang out: "We are the Detroit Pistons, we have always been full of toughness, toughness, iron blood and fearless spiritual qualities, we were once strong, we will be strong again, we will be stronger."

The boos of the opponent are our medals, and we are eager to hear even greater boos, we are only afraid that the boos of the opponents are not loud enough, because their courage has been crushed by us. ”

"Detroit Pistons?"

The journalists' spirits were in a trance.

In their eyes, the team that was swept by the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals has lost all its sharpness, and now it has become like a sharp blade, and the invisible sharpness is enough to cut the throat of the opponent, and this team, which was once regarded as a public enemy by the whole league, has been reborn.

And all this is because of a rookie.

Not because this rookie has a pair of invincible iron fists, but because this rookie has the firmest willpower, the most determined spirit, as well as noble character, and unparalleled leadership.

Zhang Li sat in the audience, looked at Zhou Quan who was surrounded by his teammates, and sighed.

It's incredible that this young compatriot has become the leader of a team in just over two months.

This is the NBA, the highest temple of basketball in the world, how difficult is it to be the leader of a team in this league?

The Pistons are a two-time champion team, and Zhou Quan, a rookie, became the leader of the Bad Boy Army, which seems to him to be an incredible thing.

This is not based on the strength on the court, the current strength of Zhou Quan is far from enough to become the leader of a team, nor is it the support of management, and there is no information that Pistons management supports Zhou Quan to become the leader of the Pistons.
