After the Pistons' appearance, the Bulls' five starters were belated.

Jordan stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, looking at Zhou Quan on the court, with a strong hatred in his eyes.

If the assassin used to be the person he hated the most, now, it is Zhou Quan.

Ten minutes later, the game began.

"Kill him!"

Pointing at Jordan, Zhou Quan shouted.

The Bulls are missing three main players, and the rotation has been seriously affected, and their strength has been greatly damaged.

In particular, Grant's absence made it difficult for the operation of the triangle tactics, the interior line lost its pillar, and the strength of the main lineup was reduced by at least three percent.

Such a bull, as long as he tries his best to contain Jordan and limit his play, without the assassin, the Pistons, who are also uneven, have a chance to win.

And that was true in the results, with the Pistons winning one more game on the road, with two wins and one loss in the first three regular season games.

Jordan shot 9 of 28 in this game, and almost every offense was trapped, with 9 three-man packs and 16 double-packs, and every offense had to do his best, and finally scored 21 points, shooting only 32.1%.

In order to get angry, Jordan personally defended Zhou Quan on the defensive end, resulting in Zhou Quan's average state today, only scoring 13 points, with a shooting rate of only 30.5%, but he still sent 9 assists, and his performance was not bad, which also shows that Jordan can limit his personal offense, but he can't limit his passing.

The Pistons are 28-13 and have a 68.3 percent win rate, which is still third in the East, behind the Bulls and Cavaliers.

No. 25, the Pistons visited Boston.

This is Zhou Quan's first visit to this racist city, the oldest city in the United States is the center of the New England region, the most educated city in the country, inhabited by the largest number of old white people in the country, and the city with the fewest other ethnic groups.

He was aware of some of the traditions, such as the back bay area, which was the bus' most prosperous area of Boston, where there were many 19th-century England-style red houses that were not sold to the Chinese.

Compared with the east, he prefers the west, where the development is late, the white power is not as good as the east, and the living environment of the Chinese is slightly better.

No. 26, home of the Greens, Boston Garden.

This is a stadium built in 1928, originally known as Boston's Madison Square Garden, or Boston Garden for short, and the Green Team began to move in in 1955.

In addition to the Green team, the Bruins, Boston's famous ice hockey team, use this old arena, and the arena is more closely related to the Bruins than the Green team, and has been the home of the Bruins since it was built in 1928.

However, the arena is very old and is currently in the countdown to demolition.

In other words, because there will be no home stadium soon, both the Bruins and the Green are now considering moving to other cities.

"Larry Bird is still on the injury list?"

Zhou Quan was a little disappointed, the assassin Thomas had beaten Big Bird several times in the playoffs, and he had also swept Big Birdie, but Jordan was swept by Big Bird in the first round twice in the playoffs, this is a generation of heroes, and he would love to see it in person.

Big Bird has suffered a lot of injuries this year, and has only played 12 games since the start of the season, and there are media rumors that Big Bird is likely to choose to retire after this season.

But this guy is really incredible, as long as he is on the court, he can play an average of 37 minutes per game, and he can still bang down the data of 20.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, is this the data that people who are about to retire can play?

At present, the green team is ranked fourth in the East, under the Pistons, but it is a difference of half a win, and this is still the case of the big bird injury, which shows that the strength of the green team is very strong.

At eight o'clock, the home team played, and Zhou Quan saw a big bird in a suit on the sidelines.

He immediately took the initiative to walk over, stretched out his right hand to the big bird, and said with a smile, "Larry, it's nice to meet you." ”

"Rookie, you've been having a lot of trouble with Michael lately!" After holding Zhou Quan's hand, Larry Bird said with a grin.

"No one can easily trample on us, and the so-called Black Jesus is no exception. And in Piston, he was never a black Jesus, he didn't have that qualification. In front of our Pistons, he has only the fate of struggle, which has been before, and I believe will be in the future. He smiled.

The smile on Larry Bird's face froze slightly, and he said seriously: "Rookie, it is precisely from you that I see his shadow. In the past, when Michael Jordan was suppressed by the Bad Boy Army, it was you now, and you never admit defeat. ”

Zhou Quan let go of Bird's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Larry, I've never been anyone's shadow, and I will never be anyone's shadow."

And, as long as the Assassins come back, no matter how strong this Bulls team is, I don't think it will suppress the strength of our Pistons. ”

With that, he turned around and returned to his teammates.

"Very special boy."

Larry Bird suddenly looked out for the young man.

He knew that this young man's athletic talent was average, but talent was such a thing, how to put it, his athletic talent was average, and he could make many talented people despair.

There are a lot of talents, talents that can determine a person's lifelong achievement, that scouts can't see with the naked eye, that can't be reflected in the data, and he believes that.

Although the Pistons were not weaker than the Green team, they still lost the game.

Zhou Quan, Joe Dumas, and Ulrich scored 20+, and Zhou Quan also suppressed the opponent's point guard, handed out 11 assists, and still lost.

Not in the main lineup, but in the bench lineup, the Pistons only had Mark Aguirre left as a right-hand man, but he only played 9 minutes tonight before going off injured.

Then three players from the Green bench stepped up, Douglas scored 18 points, Rick Fox and Joe Klein scored 10 points each, and the three combined for 38 points, and the Pistons lost out of temper.

On the 27th, Zhou Quan received two pairs of sneakers from Philip, which were products of Skechers' laboratory and asked him to try them on.

On the 28th, the Pistons defeated the Magic on the road and then rushed back to Detroit overnight.

I slept on the morning of the 29th, did not do strength training, and rushed to the headquarters in the afternoon to complete the training of 300 emergency stop jump shots, and also completed the fourth round of training tasks, and the basic shooting skills were improved to level 90, which is a first-class level, and the emergency stop jump shot was also improved to level 84.

That night, in back-to-back games, the Pistons lost to the Cavaliers at home.

After two games of trying them on, he felt good about the quality of Skechers' sneakers, no worse than the regular Nike shoes he wore, with better protection and cushioning.

He informed Philip of the results of the fitting, and Philip was happy and said that he would immediately speed up negotiations with the company to sign a contract at All-Star Weekend.

No. 31, defeating the visiting Heat at home, the Pistons ended all the games in the first month of the new year, more than halfway through the regular season, 30-15, a winning rate of 66.6%, third in the East.

The first place in the East is still the Bulls, but the win rate has dropped from more than 80% to more than 70%, only four more wins than the second-place Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers have four more wins than the Pistons.

After beating the Heat, the Pistons had back-to-back road games and rushed to Atlanta overnight.
