On February 20th, a month later, the Assassins announced their comeback.

But both the team and him personally are disappointed, because of multiple injuries, physical problems, his condition in the team training matches is not good, and the quality of training is not good.

On the 22nd, the Pistons visited Houston and will challenge Mosaic away.

As soon as Chuck Daly entered the hotel room, he turned on the TV and began to pack his luggage, taking out his clothes and hanging them up first.

Two minutes later, he saw a news item on the TV, and quickly went out to find McCloskey, saying:

"Jack, did you see it just now, Houston TV News, local media said that Big Dream and management are in conflict, Big Dream said that he wants to apply for a deal."

"Really?"

McCloskey was stunned, thought for a moment and shook his head: "Big Dream's contract only has one season left, I guess he just wants to force the management to give in and give him a big contract, I heard that his agent is negotiating with the team to renew his contract early." ”

"That's an opportunity, too!"

Chuck Daley looked at McClos expectantly, but the latter smiled wryly before explaining: "Chuck, Mosaic will never allow Big Dream to leave as a free man, do you think the league will allow Big Dream to be traded to our team?" ”

Daley was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"The locker room violence has too much negative impact on the league, and with Stern's current attitude towards the Pistons, we won't allow a big star to join us, so let's take our time."

Speaking of this, McCloskey said in a somewhat sad tone: "It's a pity, Isaiah was injured unexpectedly in the 88 finals, otherwise we would have won the championship that time." And then the next two years......"

He couldn't go on.

Those three years were the peak and heyday of the Bad Boy Army, and it was also the end of the Black and White Era, Jordan and the Bulls were still a little short of time, and the Bad Boy Army was invincible, it was the best time to create a dynasty, and it was a peerless opportunity for their Bad Boy Army, but because of an assassin's injury, they missed the great opportunity.

"Dynasty! O dynasty! ”

Chuck Daly immediately read very sadly.

……

On the 23rd, at half past seven, Mosaic Home.

Pistons: John Sely, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumas, Zhou Quan

Mosaics: Olajuwon, Ostisope, Booker Johnson, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith

The match was broadcast live across the United States by ABC and narrated by Lantis Opp and his partner, Lewis Williams.

Op said: "At present, Mosaic's record has fallen too badly, with a win rate of 51.2%, ranking ninth in the West, and has fallen out of the top eight, and if it continues like this, it will not be able to make the playoffs." ”

Williams said: "There's been news from the team that Big Dream has a conflict with the management, it's just not confirmed, but yesterday's news, confirmed that, so I don't think it's surprising that their results have suffered. ”

"Well, since Big Dream joined the league, he's been able to make the playoffs every year, and this year he's going to go fishing early," Op said. ”

Williams laughed: "That's not good, there's still a chance to catch up." The eighth-place Lakers are only one win ahead, and Mosaic still has the strength. ”

Op smiled: "So this year, the Lakers and Mosaics, there must be one to fish in advance." ”

"Agreed."

Williams grinned.

Op added: "But to my surprise, I didn't expect the Pistons to play where they are now and sit firmly in third place in the East.

The locker room violence at the beginning, then the opening five in a row, seven in a row, I thought the team had collapsed, they were even at the bottom of the league for a while.

But now they have become one of the best teams in the East, and even the Bulls have suffered a lot under their hands. ”

Williams laughed: "When it comes to that game, although Ranbir is retired, this Pistons are indeed tougher, iron-blooded, tougher and fearless under Iron Fist. ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and said with a somewhat strange expression: "Why do I say that I am under the hands of Iron Fist? Obviously, the leaders of the Pistons are Assassin and Joe Dumas, and Iron Fist is just a rookie, and neither his qualifications nor strength are enough to suppress the two of them. ”

Ophaha smiled and said, "Now when it comes to the leader of the Pistons, who would think that it is Isaiah Thomas and Jo Dumas?" ”

"What do you think of this game?" Williams asked.

"Look at the performance of Big Dream, his performance has not been good recently, and the situation of Mosaic is up to him." Opple said without hesitation.

At this time, in the players' tunnel, the starters of the two teams arrived one after another.

"Hey, Hakim, hello."

A gentle smile appeared on Zhou Quan's face, who arrived first, and he cordially greeted the big dream who came later.

"Hello, rookie."

Da Meng looked at Zhou Quan condescendingly, with no expression on his face.

He has not been in a good mood in the last two months, because the early contract extension with the team has not gone well, and the management is reluctant to give him a big contract that satisfies him.

He was even stabbed out by the media yesterday, which made him very annoyed, and it is conceivable that there will definitely be media and fans who accuse him.

When he saw Zhou Quan, he thought of this rookie's signed sneaker contract, and he said very unhappily: "Rookie, you are really lucky, you actually got the signed sneaker contract, and the management of that company is really stupid." ”

He didn't think about it at all, so he said this, which was really a bit unscrupulous, but with his qualifications, strength, and character, he didn't think there was any problem, what was the problem with taking a rookie out of anger?

"There will be trouble."

Jo Dumas was stunned in his heart, and immediately took a step closer to Zhou Quan, as did Rodman and the others.

On the mosaic side, Thorpe and Vernon Maxwell also immediately stepped forward, their expressions were fierce, and they were not afraid of things at first glance.

Zhou Quan was stunned, it can be seen that Da Meng's mood is not good, but you are in a bad mood, take me out of anger, when I am a soft pestle?

He glanced at the two Thorpe, who had stepped forward, and asked Da Meng curiously: "Old bird, do you think you have Ranbill, Postman, and Oakley that they can fight?" ”

Da Meng is by no means a good-tempered person, he is a bad-tempered person, and he is also feared by everyone in the alliance, known as an old rascal, his face changed, and he said sharply:

"Boy, you dare to provoke me? This is my home stadium, believe it or not, you can't get out of this arena? ”

As soon as these words came out, Thorpe and Vernon Maxwell began to roll up their sleeves, and Kenny Smith and Booker Johnson stood up, although they were a little nervous.

Their eyes were all fixed on Zhou Quan, after all, this was the guy who had taken down the postman, Ranbir, and Oakley.

But this is their home field, and even if they can't beat it, they have to play, otherwise their face will be trampled on the ground and become worthless.

Around Zhou Quan, Rodman and the others were much more courageous than before, and they all stood up.
