On the other end, McCloskey stepped in, bailed out several security guards overnight, and told them that the team would reward them, continue to provide them with job opportunities, and then give them the best lawyers, and would not let them go to jail.

Zhou Quan returned to the hotel, comforted Catherine, and then returned to his room, tired, and quickly fell asleep.

Although a Japanese died, he didn't care.

Whether it's Detroit or Chicago, where at least 10 people die every day on the streets of violence, guns, products and murders, what is a Japanese?

When he woke up, after washing up, he went to Catherine's room, knocked on the girl's door, and told her about the Japanese, and she was startled.

He hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with it, he was still alive before I left, and several security guards couldn't hold him down." ”

Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Why did you die for no reason, life is too fragile." Maybe he has some underlying medical condition? ”

"Okay, you're so sentimental, why don't you help me send a chrysanthemum to that Japanese." He quipped.

"Get out!"

Catherine scolded.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two went to the dining room and had breakfast with their teammates and their wives.

"Any news?" Zhou Quan asked after sitting down.

"Nothing special, just to tout Jordan." The Assassin said unhappily.

Zhou Quan flipped through the newspapers, and there was really no media report on the news of the death of the Japanese, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The alliance's public relations ability is really strong!" ”

"It's all Jordan's news, and the public relations ability is really not blown, and capital can do anything." The Assassin was dismissive.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Pistons and Bulls arrived in Detroit one after another.

At this time, the Chicago police announced that after the G5 game in the Eastern Conference finals last night, a Japanese reporter suddenly attacked Pistons star Zhou Quan, and then was controlled by security personnel, and died ten minutes after Zhou Quan left the scene, and the Chicago police autopsy result was suffocation.

The security personnel were on duty and had no motive for committing a crime, and Kobayashi had an attack on the ground, and the piston side was self-defense, so the case of Kobayashi's death was not filed as a criminal case and was classified as an ordinary case.

The news did not cause any splash due to the deliberate downplay of the media, but the Consulate General of Japan in Chicago and the Consulate General of China in Chicago expressed concern about the matter.

Zhou Quan waited for this result, and couldn't help but praise the alliance's public relations ability again.

That night, the G6 battle of the West Finals began.

In the end, the Trail Blazers, who were fighting away, defeated the Jazz with a score of 105-97, and eliminated the Jazz with a score of 4-2 and entered the Finals.

The next day, May 29th, the G6 battle of the East Final.

That afternoon, after the end of the practice, the Pistons were interviewed by several media outlets in the training hall at the request of the media.

"Iron Fist, what else do you expect from the Eastern Conference Finals Series?"

"The expectation now is the same as before the series starts, and I don't lose the desire to win just because the Bulls have a match point."

"But the Pistons' current roster is seriously out of order?"

"Just because the squad is out of shape doesn't mean you have to give up, that's cowardly behaviour and we need to work harder.

Also, playoff tickets are expensive, so we need to fight hard to give our fans a good game and we want them to not regret buying tickets. ”

"What do you think of your teammates?"

"It's all good, Jo Dumas, John Sely, everyone, including Isaiah, without their efforts, we wouldn't be able to get to the G6 game."

"For Isaiah, who was the last core of the Pistons, what specific do you say about him?"

As soon as this question came up, the first person to look at was the Assassin himself.

Zhou Quan once promised him that he would recognize him as one of the leaders of the Pistons, which is very important to him and the key to his turnover.

Bang bang, his heart was beating very fast, hoping to hear what he wanted to hear from Zhou Quan's mouth.

Zhou Quan smiled, glanced at the assassin, and said under the expectant eyes of the other party: "Isaiah Thomas is very important to us, he is always full of fighting spirit, he helped me stabilize the morale of my teammates in the locker room, we can get to this point, he has a big role, he is one of the leaders of our locker room." ”

"Whew!"

Isaiah Thomas breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff expression immediately relaxed.

"One of the leaders?"

Several reporters were surprised, Zhou Quan admitted the leader of the smiling assassin?

"Congratulations, Isaiah."

Jo Dumas grabbed the Assassin's shoulders and whispered in his ear.

"Thank you."

The Assassin was delighted.

Originally, he planned to retire and develop in other areas of the league, such as coaching, or team management, and last year's locker room violence caused him a lot of financial losses, and now he wants to retire and change jobs to earn a little more pension money, which is the most important reason why he wants to become the leader of the team again, because otherwise, he has no chance to achieve this wish.

That night, the G6 battle of the East Finals began.

Under the leadership of Zhou Quan and the assassins, although the Pistons fought hard, they still lost without suspense.

After this battle, the Bulls defeated the Pistons with a score of 4:2 and reached the finals.

This is also the second time in Michael Jordan's career that he has reached the Finals.

After the game, Zhou Quan took his teammates to shake hands with the Bulls, but did not send his congratulations, he said to Jordan: "Old boy, you better win this year's championship, because we will get stronger and stronger, so you have to cherish the opportunity now." ”

Jordan sneered and said, "Boy, just with your current lineup? I bet you're all a rotten pit for the next few years, and with your little offensive strength, you can't climb out, you can't carry the pistons.

Next, I'm going to win three in a row, four in a row, five in a row, I'm going to finish the great Bulls dynasty, and you're going to be on the verge of the playoffs, that's your destined fate, I said. ”

"Then we'll see."

Zhou Quan snorted coldly, then turned around and left, and went to say goodbye to the fans with his teammates.

Tonight, he shot 44.8% on 13-of-29 shooting from the field under Jordan's defense, plus 7-of-8 free throws, and got 33 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 5 fouls.

Although he scored the most points in a single game in the playoffs, his shooting percentage was average, and his assists set a single-game record in the playoffs.

It's not that he doesn't pass the ball, it's that there are really no people around him who can score, resulting in very few assists.

Jordan looked down on his offense and didn't make him angry, because his little offensive skills were really just average.

And he doesn't have a good scoring point around him, which makes his passing less threatening, which makes the Bulls more thorough in his defense.

But to be honest, he scored 33 points tonight, and his shooting percentage was more than 40%, and he did his best, and his self-assessment performance was not bad.

However, he estimated that he would not be able to get the mission reward for the playoffs, and it was a little sad to think that the reward of bounce +1 was far away from him!

At this time, on the TNT commentary seat, Robert Giddah was reading Zhou Quan's Eastern Conference Final Series data, saying:

"In the six games of the Eastern Conference finals, Iron Fist averaged 43.3 minutes per game, shot 9 of 20, shot 45% from the field, 7.83 of 7.17 from the field, shot 91.5% from the field, averaged 25.5 points, 6.67 rebounds, 11.1 assists, 4 steals, 0.5 blocks, 4.17 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game, with a true shooting rate of 54.38% and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.66."

Ringer Wilson said: "In the Eastern Conference finals series, he was better than the regular season, similar to the first and second rounds, a little bit stronger in some places, a little weaker in some places. For example, in terms of passing stability, the assist-to-turnover ratio of the Eastern Finals was lower than that of the first two rounds, and there were too many mistakes. ”

Robert Giddah said: "Iron Fist played 39.5 minutes per game in three rounds of 15 games, played 39.5 minutes per game, shot 6.89 of 15.7, shot 43.9% from the field, 6.13 from the field and 6.13 from the free-throw range, shot 90.2 percent from the field, scored 20.3 points, 6.07 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 3.53 steals, 0.7 blocks, 3.67 turnovers and 3.1 fouls, with a true shooting percentage of 54.3% and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.08. ”

Speaking of this, he exclaimed: "The performance of 20+10 is really eye-catching, this is the data of the playoffs!"

The only pity is that the shooting is a little worse, and the individual offensive efficiency is low, which is not excellent. By the way, Ringer, what were the Magician's stats that year? ”

"The playoff stats of the Magic's rookie season that year were 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 3.1 steals, 0.4 blocks, 4.1 turnovers and 2.9 fouls per game, shooting 51.8% from the field, 2.29 assist-to-turnover ratios, and 59.8% true shooting percentage. ”

He then commented: "The Magic almost averaged a triple-double per game, and he was far superior to Iron Fist in terms of shooting percentage, true shooting percentage, and personal efficiency.

When we look at a player's stats, we should not simply look at how many points he scores, but also pay attention to efficiency.

Iron Fist averaged 20 points per game in the playoffs, but we have to see that this is on the basis of his complete control of the Pistons, this is on the basis of his unrestricted shots, and in terms of efficiency, he is far from being a star, he is an inefficient offense. ”

Robert Giddah could only nod yes: "This is indeed true, Iron Fist still needs to work on offensive efficiency and be more cautious in his shots."

But we should see his huge potential in assists, which outnumber Magic's, which is a very important manifestation of ability for a point guard. ”

Ringer Wilson shook his head: "No, no, no, we need to see the water of this statistic, he is playing this stat with the majority of the Pistons in control."

We should all know that in this alliance, no matter who it is, even if it is the water cooler administrator, as long as he gives him a shot, he will definitely be able to score a lot of points, 20+30+ is possible.

Such a point guard has so many balls, even if it is a Magician, I'm afraid he doesn't have so many balls in the Lakers, so it's not surprising that he gets these assists, because the balls are all in his hands, and a blind cat can also run into a few dead mice. ”

Robert Giddah opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't seem to refute it.

Ringer Wilson changed the topic, picked up Jordan's stats table, and said: "Now let's appreciate Michael's data, and we will know what dominance is, what is the scoring champion, what is the active number one ......"

……

After saying goodbye to the fans, Zhou Quan and his teammates left the scene to the Bulls and returned to the locker room.

After taking a shower, he got his stats sheet, including this game, the Eastern Conference Finals series, and the entire three-round series.

Averaged 20.3 points and 11.3 assists per game, and 19.1 points and 9 assists in the regular season, which has improved in terms of statistics, even in terms of shooting percentage, true shooting percentage, assist-to-turnover ratio and other data, it has also improved, and the worst shooting percentage has also increased by 0.7%, so it can be said that his performance in the playoffs is slightly stronger than in the regular season.

But he knew very well that it was the result of his longer playing time and more importantly the result of him being in possession of the ball.

The ball is always in his hands, whether it is a pass or a throw, his data will not be bad, if you can't get this data, there will be that data.

So he can't think that his strength has really reached that high level because he has played 20+10 data.

If the team hands over a third of the ball in his hands to Joe Dumas, his stats will immediately fall by the wayside.

It can be seen that the Pistons management's cultivation of him can be said to be crazy, and all the hope for the future is placed on him.

It can also be seen that last year's East Final was swept by the Bulls, how big a blow it was to the team, otherwise how could he be cultivated so much?

"Iron Fist, you're by far the best assist of all the players in the playoffs." Assistant Teacher Musk said with a smile.

"What's the use, we're knocked out." He shook his head.

Musk encouraged: "But we were swept last year, we won two games against the Bulls this year, and if it wasn't for John and Joe being injured, if Dennis was in better shape, we would have played better, so this year is already considered an improvement."

You're also doing really well, maybe the media will belittle you, but don't take it to heart because they're all fans of Michael Jordan. ”

"Iron Fist, 20+10 per game in the playoffs, you're already strong. To be honest, if we hadn't run into this Bulls, we would have made it to the Finals in previous years. Jo Dumas said.

Isaiah Thomas smiled, "Iron Fist, all the Detroiters will carry you to the All-Star next year, and believe me, you've conquered them." ”

"Of course that's good."

A smile appeared on Zhou Quan's face.

But when he thought about the team's lineup, he didn't know how the management would adjust, and his smile faded a little.

Letting go of these thoughts, he began to look at his stats.

The system's playoff requirements are 15 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 2.5 steals, an assist-to-turnover ratio of no less than 3, a shooting rate of 45%, a true shooting rate of 53%, and everything else has been reached, only the shooting percentage is not.

He opened the system with some disappointment and looked at it, and there were two new prompts.

"The first and second tasks of the Eastern Decisive Mission failed, and the mission ended."

He has already completed the third item of this East Final task and got the reward of +3 prediction, so he didn't look much and immediately opened the second hint.

"The playoff mission failed, but the host played 20+10 data, and the speed +1 and injury resistance +1 were additionally rewarded."

“……”

Zhou Quan's eyes widened, and he almost burst into a foul mouth.

Speed +1 is no worse than bounce +1 for him, or even more important, not to mention that it also comes with +1 resistance to injury, which is even better than the original reward.

Surprise, absolute surprise!

Now his speed is 92, his ability to resist injuries is 89, and his physical fitness is getting better and better.

After a quick glance at the rest of the material, some of his skills have improved a bit after this round of the Eastern Conference Final series.

For example, the breakthrough has been upgraded from 86 to 87, and the organization has been upgraded from 89 to 90, entering the first-class level.

"A Class 90 organization?"

He looked at the statistics, and averaged 11.3 assists per game throughout the playoffs, and the playoffs have averaged the first assists per game so far, is it only at the level of 90?

So if his assist ability continues to improve, how high will the average assists per game figure reach in the future? 15 times, 18 times?

In the '89/90 season, John Stockton was the assist leader, averaging 14.5 assists per game that season, the league's highest since the statistic began.

And this season, John Stockton is the assist leader with 13.7 times.

It was John Stockton's fifth assist title, five in a row, and his strongest competitor for the assist title in the future.

However, when it comes to playoff performance, he is better than John Stockton.

Perhaps, a higher level of organizational skills will not be reflected in the data, but in the control of the game?

Just like commanding an army, a truly top-level commander will not have the name of invincibility, and the so-called good fighters will not have outstanding achievements?

At present, with his strength, he still doesn't understand these things very well, and the level is not enough.

In addition to breakthroughs and assists, the offense has been upgraded from 81 to 82, and the game experience has been increased from 87 to 89.

"Tekken, the season is over, are you ready to go back home?" Joe Dumas, who was next to him, asked.

"Oh, I'll be in Los Angeles for a few days, and then I'll go home. What about you? He asked.

"I did the treatment first, and then I was ready to go on vacation with my family." Jo Dumas laughed.

"Isaiah, what about you?" Zhou Quan asked again.

"Me too." The assassin smiled.

At this time, Troy Weaver reminded: "Zhou, you'd better go for a physical examination and take care of your body." ”

"Okay, Troy, thanks for the reminder." He nodded.

"Tekken, I want to go to Los Angeles too, together?" Rodman grinned.

"Okay!"

Of course Zhou Quan will not refuse, Rodman, a scumbag, still has a good personality and is very sincere.

But he suddenly thought of Madonna, and immediately understood what Rodman was doing in Los Angeles, this guy, he was afraid that he was going to climb into the queen's bed.

"Iron Fist, has the date of your appointment with the postman been set?" Darnell Walker asked suddenly.

"Yes, yes, Iron Fist, don't forget about us, let's go and cheer you on."

"Iron Fist, and Larry Johnson, did Big Dream date you?"

"And the Oakley guy, there's New York media reporting that he's boxing training."

"Iron Fist, Larry Johnson was knocked out by your two headbutts last time, don't be careless this time, that guy heard about it."

This topic immediately excited everyone, and the discussion began to gossip.
