God of NBA point guards

Chapter 78 I Was Never Someone's Shadow
After the Pistons played, the Bulls' five starters were long overdue.

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

If the assassin was the person he hated the most before, now it is Zhou Quan.

After 10 minute, the game starts.

"Squeeze him to death!"

Pointing at Jordan, Zhou Quan yelled.

The Bulls lost three main players, and their rotations have been severely affected, and their strength has been greatly damaged.

Especially the absence of Grant made it difficult to operate the triangle tactics. The inside line lost its pillar, and the strength of the main lineup was reduced by at least [-]%.

Such a bull, as long as they double-team Jordan with all their strength and limit his performance, without an assassin, the Pistons, who are equally weak, have a chance to win.

This is indeed the case in the result. The Pistons won another game away. In the first three regular season games, they had two wins and one loss.

Jordan made 28 of 9 shots in this field. Almost every attack will be double-teamed. The number of three-person double-teams reached 9 times, and the number of double-teams reached 16 times. Every attack must go all out, and finally scored 21 points. The rate is only 32.1%.

In order to vent his anger, Jordan personally defended Zhou Quan on the defensive end. As a result, Zhou Quan was in a mediocre state today. He only scored 13 points and his shooting percentage was only 30.5%, but he still sent 9 assists. Limit his personal offense, but can't limit his passing.

The Pistons have 28 wins and 13 losses, with a winning percentage of 68.3%, which is still the third in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Bulls and Cavaliers.

On the 25th, the Pistons are a guest at Boston.

This is Zhou Quan’s first visit to this city full of racial discrimination. The oldest city in the United States is the center of New England, the most educated city in the United States, and the largest number of old white people in the United States. The city with the least ethnicity.

He knows some of the traditions here, such as the back bay area that the bus just passed by, which is the most prosperous area in Boston, where there are many 19th-century English-style red houses, and those red houses are not sold to 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.

On the 26th, the home of the Green Team, Boston Garden.

This is an arena built in 1928. It was originally called Boston's Madison Square Garden, referred to as Boston Garden. In 1955, the Green Team began to move in.

In addition to the Green Team, the Bruins, the famous Boston ice hockey team, use this ancient arena, and the arena has a closer relationship with the Bruins than the Green Team. Since it was built in 1928, it has been the home of the Bruins.

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

In other words, because there will be no home arena soon, both the Bruins and the Greens are considering relocating to other cities.

"Larry Bird still on the injured list?"

Zhou Quan was a little disappointed. Assassin Thomas had beaten Bird several times in the playoffs, and had also swept Bird, but Jordan was swept by Bird in the first round twice in the playoffs. This is a generation of heroes. He really wants to face Get acquainted.

This year, Big Bird suffered serious injuries. He has only played [-] games since the beginning of the season. There are media rumors that Big Bird is likely to choose to retire after this season.

But this guy is really unbelievable. As long as he plays, he can average 37 minutes per game, and he can even average 20.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks per game. Is this the kind of data that people who are about to retire can play?
The Green Team is currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, below the Pistons, but only half a game away. This is still due to Bird's injury, which shows that the Green Team is very strong.

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

He immediately walked over, stretched out his right hand to Big Bird, and said with a smile, "Larry, nice to meet you."

"Rookie, you've had a lot of trouble with Michael recently!" After holding Zhou Quan's hand, Larry Bird said with a smile.

"No one can easily trample us to death, and the so-called black Jesus is no exception. And on the Pistons, he has never been a black Jesus, he has no qualifications. In front of our Pistons, he only has a fate of struggle. Before, I I believe it will be in the future." He smiled.

The smile on Larry Bird's face faltered slightly, and he said seriously: "Rookie, I saw his shadow just from you. When Michael Jordan was suppressed by the bad boys before, he is now. Never Give up."

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

Moreover, as long as the assassins come back, no matter how strong this Bulls team is, I don't think it will be able to suppress the strength of our Pistons. "

After speaking, he turned and returned to his teammates.

"A very special kid."

Larry Bird was suddenly very optimistic about this young man.

He knew that this young man's athletic talent was mediocre, but talent, how should I put it, his athletic talent was mediocre, but he could make many talented people despair.

There are many talents, and the talents that can determine a person's lifelong achievements are invisible to the naked eye of scouts, and cannot be reflected by data. He firmly believes in this.

Although the strength of the Pistons is not weaker than that of the Green Team, they still lost this game.

Zhou Quan, Joe Dumars, and Ulrich scored 20+ points. Zhou Quan also suppressed the opponent's point guard and sent 11 assists, but still lost.

It's not the loss in the main lineup, but the substitute lineup. The Pistons only have Mark Aguirre as a capable substitute, but he only played 9 minutes tonight and was injured.

Then three players from the green team's bench lineup stood up. Douglas scored 18 points, Rick Fox and Joe Klein each scored 10 points. The three teamed up and scored 38 points.

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

On the 28th, the Pistons beat the Magic in an away game, and then rushed back to Detroit overnight.

I went to sleep on the morning of the 29th and did not do strength training. I rushed to the headquarters in the afternoon to complete 90 emergency stop jump shots, and also completed the fourth round of training tasks. The jump shot has also been raised to level 84.

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

After trying it on for two games, he feels that the quality of Skechers' sneakers is not bad, not worse than the ordinary Nike sneakers he wears, and the protection and cushioning performance are better.

He told Philip the result of the try-on. Philip was very happy and said that he would immediately speed up the negotiations with the company and try to sign a contract during the All-Star Weekend.

On the 31st, the Pistons defeated the visiting Heat at home. The Pistons ended all games in the first month of the new year. The regular season was more than halfway, 30 wins and 15 losses, with a winning percentage of 66.6%, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls are still number one in the Eastern Conference, but their winning percentage has dropped from over [-]% to over [-]%. They have only four more wins than the second Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers have four more wins than the Pistons.

After defeating the Heat, the Pistons ushered in back-to-back away games and rushed to Atlanta overnight.
