On the 11th, he went to the golf course again and flew to Minneapolis in the afternoon.

After arriving at the hotel and settling in, the league officially arranged to take pictures, and all the all-stars came to a business conference room.

Of the remaining eleven All-Stars in the West, only Big Dream and Postman, Stockton and his relationship are very poor, and the rest are okay and passable.

East, Jordan, Pippen, Sean Kemp, Gary Payton, Ewing, Oakley, John Starks, and a lot of people who have a bad relationship with him.

When they see him, Gary Payton and Sean Kemp have noses that are not noses and eyes that are not eyes, as if they had seen an enemy.

"What do you see, don't you know me?" He said angrily.

The two snorted coldly, and Gary Payton said angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could we go to the Detroit Pistons?" ”

"Do you think I'm trading left and right?"

He couldn't hold back and scolded: "Two idiots, do you think that if I don't go to the Lakers, will I take advantage of the supersonics?"

I'm all in the chips, what do you have to complain about? Qualified to complain? Don't put on a face in front of me, what right do you have to put on a face in front of me?

Think you're going to have the strength to be selected as an All-Star? If you don't like to see me, please disappear in front of me, OK? ”

Gary Payton and Sean Kemp were scolded by Zhou Quan in public, and they were very embarrassed in front of everyone.

Jordan and others only watched the play on the side, and did not stand out for the two.

Jordan didn't want to stand up for Gary Payton, because this kid didn't pay attention to trash talk at him, and he swore a lot of dirty words.

The stinky mouth of the glove is not easy to mess with, and immediately squirted back: "Why did we disappear, and why not you?" ”

"Because it's you two idiots who are ruining the atmosphere here." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Don't say any more, if you are photographed by the media, it will not be good for you." At this time, a high-ranking official of the alliance came to stop it.

David Stern was on the scene, the smile on his face was a little stiff, but fortunately there was no media, he didn't say anything, just let his subordinates come and deal with it.

Zhou Quan glanced at the two of them disdainfully and said: "There are so many people, what happened just now will definitely get out, I bet that even if you want to stay in Detroit, the fans there will not be willing." If you don't want to stay there, you might as well take the initiative to apply for a deal. ”

"You?"

Gary Payton knotted.

He and Sean Camp looked at each other, staying in Detroit, the Pistons are still a first-tier championship-level team, but if they are traded again, the Pistons will definitely trade them to the bad team to get a high draft pick, then they can only struggle with the bad team.

Jordan shook his head slightly, these two idiots, they are not happy to stay in Detroit, and they will leave when the contract is over, what is it to give Iron Fist a face in public?

But he really wants to get one of these two people to the Bulls, after this season, Grant's kid will definitely leave, the fourth position is lacking, and the number one position, although the gloves can't deal with the iron fist, but with him and Pippen, it should almost lock the supersonic outside line.

However, it is still a matter of investment, and the management and the boss do not know whether they are willing to trade or not, because these two people must have a big contract, and a veteran contract is indispensable.

Next, to take promotional photos and commemorative photos, the league arranged for Jordan and Zhou Quan to stand in the middle, which was obviously Stern's arrangement, but no one had an opinion.

It's not that they think that the current Zhou Quan has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Jordan, after all, Zhou Quan's current hard honor is far less than Jordan's.

But just now Zhou Quan sprayed Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, and now they are not qualified to have an opinion, otherwise they must not be sprayed by Zhou Quan?

Twenty-four All-Stars, except for Zhou Quan, Jordan and Pippen, the remaining twenty-one people, including Da Meng and Ewing, no one has ever won a championship, and the championship and FMVP are the hardest hard honors.

With a core identity of the championship and FMVP, Zhou Quan can suppress them, of course, they are not qualified to question Zhou Quan's half of the C position.

Pippen is also not qualified to deny Zhou Quan, he is just a second-in-command, his status in the league is not as good as Zhou Quan, and he did not lead the team to win the championship alone.

What's more, he suffered a big loss under Zhou Quan's hands and was slapped in public, how dare he provoke him again?

Jordan's expression was a little stiff, if he completed the triple championship last season, it would not be tied with Iron Fist, but he would occupy the C position.

He has exceeded one million All-Star votes for three consecutive seasons, but this year it fell below one million, and Iron Fist is only 30,000 votes short of him.

Now that Iron Fist has snatched half of the C position, it is impossible for him to refuse the alliance's arrangement, without that cheek and disdain, he has to rely on his strength and record to regain that half of the C position.

The two of them each stretched out a hand and grabbed a basketball together, and the other all-stars lined up on the left and right and behind, like stars and moons.

"Click, click, click......"

The videographer filmed.

David Stern has a big smile on his face, and he's looking forward to this year's playoffs.

Originally, he wanted Jordan to monopolize the C position, but Zhou Quan's current qualifications are far from enough, which has nothing to do with strength and hard honor.

But now Zhou Quan's popularity is really high, and the main thing is that he also wants to continue to create a pattern of Jordan and Zhou Quan competing for hegemony, so he let the two share the C position equally.

As for Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, if these two stars want to leave the Pistons, he is also very supportive, this season the Pistons' attendance is still good, reaching an average of 82% per game, but not as good as last season, which was 94% last season, and the average ticket price has fallen again, commercial sponsorship is getting less and less, and the operation is becoming more and more difficult.

After dinner, Zhou Quan called O'Neal and a group of well-connected all-stars to go bowling, and then disappeared.

Jordan learned the lesson of last year's All-Stars, didn't look for anyone to gamble again, found a bunch of All-Stars, and threw a party together.

On the 12th, before Jordan got up, his mobile phone rang wildly, and it turned out to be the agent David Falck.

"What's wrong, David?" He hadn't woken up yet, and asked in a daze.

"Michael, you didn't touch that damn thing, did you?" David Falke asked nervously.

"What do you mean?" Jordan was stunned.

"Sean Kemp sucked the horse at your party last night, and then got involved with two waitresses, and the three of them smoked together, it was supposed to be a storage room, and some pictures were taken." David Falke said.

"Damn, we didn't invite the media to our party." Jordan sat up and woke up.

"Waiters, staff, they may all be bought by the media, and I even suspect that the two waitresses who got involved with the rain man are, they set up the rain man." David Falke said.

"I don't touch that, my father told me not to touch it when I was a kid." Jordan said.

"That's good."

David Falke breathed a sigh of relief and suggested: "Michael, don't party anymore, you can just play golf with them, or billiards or whatever, don't have any private parties, public activities are safer, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you." ”

"I see." Jordan said.

David Falke said: "Remember, Michael, there has been less negative press about Iron Fist during this time, and now the media is idle, if you are found by them, it will be troublesome." ”

"And what happened last night?"

"That's no problem, it has nothing to do with you, I'll help you solve it, and the alliance will come forward." David Falke said.

"The NBA All-Stars threw a party last night with Michael Jordan, Sean Kemp and ......," The New York Times.

"The NBA league is full of pornography, gambling and drugs." Los Angeles Daily News.

David Stern just wants to scold people at this time, Jordan gambled at this time last year, and this year Rain Man sucks horses and, once the name of Xing Party is confirmed, the little reputation he finally pulled up will be finished.

Thinking of this, he was so satisfied with Zhou Quan, a model of self-cleanliness, fortunately with him, otherwise it would be really troublesome for all the all-stars to go to that damn party.

At this time, he felt that Zhou Quan had no problem changing a Hollywood girlfriend a year.

A private hotel, after Zhou Quan and Dazui separated, they quietly rushed back to the hotel where they stayed.

The disadvantage of dating a female star like Big Mouth is that it is easy to be discovered, but the advantage is that there is no other trouble.

As soon as I returned to the hotel, I quickly learned the news, and I couldn't help but rejoice that if he was at that party, even if it had nothing to do with him, it would be a big trouble.

"Have a good party, flyer."

Restaurant, Zhou Quan smiled when he saw Jordan.

"Poof!"

Several people couldn't hold back.

Jordan glared at him and said, "What does it have to do with me, I'll just have a few drinks and leave." Iron Fist, I warn you, don't pull this on me. ”

Zhou Quan smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Da Meng turned on the TV in the restaurant and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't go to a party with Sean Kemp next time, that idiot can't control himself at all." ”

Gary Payton's face was dark, Zhou Quan glanced at him, and suddenly took out his mobile phone and made a call to Joe Dumas.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

"Joe, did you see the news?"

"I just saw it, it's terrible!"

"He's not going to mess around in the locker room, is he?"

"I drink a lot before I play, and sometimes I smoke ...... Alas, no one can control him, self-discipline is too poor. Jo Dumas sighed.

Zhou Quan hung up the phone after a few more words, he felt that this time the piston was going to be rebuilt again.

He glanced at Gary Payton again and said, "Glove, he's doing the same in supersound?" ”

Gary Payton said: "Before, it wasn't that good before, but, but after being traded, Sean was very unhappy, so it was a little more serious." ”

Zhou Quan glanced at Jordan and said, "The matter of sucking Malaysia is a bit troublesome for the alliance, but the alliance's anti-drug efforts are very small, and it should be fooled this time." ”

Jordan said indifferently: "Whatever, we just don't touch it anyway." ”

Zhou Quan looked at the others, and some of them had a little stiff faces, and he knew that among these all-stars, there must be someone touching those things.

Malaysia is too common in the United States, a lot of stars have smoked it, and it is also very common in the NCAA, at least half of the NBA people have smoked it, and they are still sucking.

His alumnus Abdul-Jabbar smoked it, and the addiction was not small, but he was prescribed by a doctor, and it was said that he had a headache.

Chris Webber, who has just entered the league, has been in the news of smoking Malaysia during his time in the NCAA.

Even if it's the current supersound, maybe someone is sucking it, but it's not in the locker room.

The four major professional sports leagues, the other three leagues are more anti-drug, and the NBA is much smaller in this regard.

Some random tests were also conducted, but only urine tests were conducted, no blood tests were conducted, and the samples were provided by the players themselves, which had no effect at all and was just a false story.

But it has nothing to do with him, as long as he cleans himself.

After breakfast, they got the news that the league publicly announced that the Rainman Shaun Camp was disqualified as an All-Star, and his starting position was replaced by Derrick Coleman and Larry Johnson on the bench.

"Alas, Sean, you unassuming fellow." Gary Payton sighed again and again in his heart, regretting his good brother.

Larry Johnson didn't come, he was still in Charlotte, and after receiving the news, he immediately booked his ticket.

During the day, the league organizes all-stars to participate in a number of events.

Zhou Quan, O'Neill and a few others went to a community elementary school and played with the children for an hour and a half.

At noon, a Miami media broke the news that Gary Payton and Sean Kemp were dissatisfied with Zhou Quan because they were traded to Detroit, and the two sides had a verbal conflict.

Originally, Sean Kemp was very embarrassed because of the scandal that happened at the party, which added fuel to the fire, and although Detroit fans liked to watch his dunks, they were even more dissatisfied with him.

Gary Payton was a little better, and the firepower was drawn to Kemp.

Pistons general manager Troy Weaver didn't react too much after seeing the news, whether it was Gary Payton or Sean Kemp, they were going to stay in Detroit next season, and the Pistons needed a record to maintain the market.

As for the future, he hopes to use one of these two to trade the lottery draft pick in the top position, and if neither is willing to stay, then trade both, or trade one a year, which is better for maintaining the record.

In the evening, the target center arena.

For the first time this year, a new competition has been added, called Rookie Matchup, which is made up entirely of this season's rookies, called Genius Team and Passion Pair.

The Genius Team was led by Penny Anfernee Hardaway, and the Passion Team was led by Chris Webber, and in the end, the Genius Team defeated the Passion Team, and Hardaway won the MVP of the first Rookie Matchup.

No. 14, Target Center.

When Zhou Quan appeared last year, it was a break dance, and there was a fight dance with O'Neill, which was very popular, and tonight, he specially prepared a set of Tai Chi to show the Chinese elements.

This set of Tai Chi was learned from his old man last time he went to see his grandfather, the housekeeping kung fu of the Wudang School, and when he has nothing to do, he will practice, and he should exercise his flexibility.

He donated money to the Taoist temple, so when he was learning, he had the Taoist chief of Wudang to give careful guidance from the side, and they were all Taoist masters who played Tai Chi well, and they learned some tricks.

For example, squatting horse step, which is the basis of tai chi, horse step squatting is not good, practice tai chi for a long time, it is very easy to hurt the knee.

When he appeared, it was the Eastern All-Stars who went out first, after all, they were guests, and as a result, several guys broke danced.

"Good thing I'm not going to break dance." He couldn't help but rejoice.

O'Neill, who was about to appear, was dumbfounded and shouted: "What are you doing, learn from me and Iron Fist, can you have some creativity of your own?" ”

He hurriedly turned around and shouted at Zhou Quan: "Iron Fist, I'm with you, right?" ”

"Shark, you're the east, I'm the west." Zhou Quan said angrily.

"It doesn't matter, I'm the last one, you don't have to finalize, I'll be the first one to go out later."

O'Neal's brain was very flexible, and he immediately thought of a way, and after saying that, he ran to the back of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

"I'm not dancing, what are we going out for?" Zhou Quan said helplessly.

"Don't fight? So what do you have in store? O'Neill asked disappointedly.

"Tai Chi." Zhou Quan said in Mandarin.

"Too ...... Chicken...... Rush? O'Neill muttered.

Zhou Quan touched his feet, lit up a Wuji momentum, and then took the Tai Chi gesture, and then closed the momentum and said: "It's a kind of Chinese kung fu." ”

"Do you know kung fu?" A crowd was dumbfounded.

O'Neill pulled out the fight and punched a few times, wiped his nose like Bruce Lee, screamed, and then stammered: "Boo, Bruce Lee, kung fu?" ”

Zhou Quan was stunned and didn't answer, but just laughed.

When he was a child, he followed his grandfather Zheng'er Bajing to practice iron sand palm for two years, but after his grandfather died, he lost it, and he can only say that he has a foundation, but he can't really practice kung fu.

But his attitude of not answering was very warm, similar to the acquiescence.

Carl Malone said angrily: "Damn, it turns out that he knows kung fu." ”

Oakley and Larry Johnson, who were about to play, also glared at Zhou Quan, you bastard, you know how to do kung fu, you said it earlier?

"Charles, it's your turn."

Jordan pushed Oakley and glanced back at Zhou Quan, this bastard is too yin, there are a lot of people, fortunately he didn't do it.
