God of NBA point guards

Chapter 20 What makes progress under pressure is aggressiveness
Thomas sank instantly, before saying after a while: "But I'm not willing to retire with such a bad reputation, and I don't want to be swept away by Jordan to retire.

You know, since the Eastern Conference Finals was swept last time, my historical status has plummeted, and the media's evaluation of me has been far worse than before.

A point guard who was swept by Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals, who do you think will think of me when ranking point guards in history?I could have been in the top three, but now I'm afraid I won't be in the top ten. "

Lambiel was so angry that he cursed: "Fame, it's all false, you bastard, you will be laughed at by the whole league if you bow your head to that rookie for the sake of fame. Xie Te, I don't want to see you anymore, get out!"

Thomas said angrily: "This is my house, are you out of your mind? It's you who should get out."

Ranbir was taken aback, and immediately got up angrily and walked out.

Thomas didn't stay any longer, and said coldly from behind: "Bill, that kid went to see me in the ward that day. I think he was actually showing an attitude, and he should also want to reconcile."

"What did you say?"

Lambiel stopped and turned around in surprise, shook his head and said, "Impossible, that kid has the advantage, why should he reconcile?"

Thomas sneered a few times and said, "Didn't you pay attention during this period? He was under a lot of pressure in Detroit, and tonight's game started with a six-game losing streak. Many fans blamed him. Do you think it is necessary for him to reconcile? "

"You put it that way, it seems really possible."

Lambir said thoughtfully: "So, Isaiah, you can handle him, and there is no need to bow to him."

Thomas said angrily: "Hold him, you also said that he has the advantage and everyone supports him, how can I handle it? I'm afraid he will throw that damn glove at me again. And who said I will bow to him? That's what you think.

He wants to reconcile, and I want to reconcile. As long as we don't have any disputes, then in the eyes of the media and fans, it is reconciliation. "

"Then your team status?" Lambiel asked.

"status?"

Thomas smiled wryly at first, but then said coldly: "Joe Dumars won't fight with me. That kid is too young now, especially not good at attacking. Why should he fight with me? As long as I go back, I will still be the core of the field. The starting point guard is absolutely mine."

Lambiel sneered: "The core and starting positions on the field are nothing. When you go back to the locker room, you have to keep your tail between your legs, otherwise that rookie is not easy to mess with."

Thomas gasped, but couldn't argue.

……

In the News Hall [-] of the United Center Arena, Zhou Quan sat with Joe Dumars and Rodman.

The signature star Smiling Assassin was not there. At the request of the management, Chuck Daly pushed him out and gave him enough star treatment.

In fact, this is also the official request of the alliance to give Zhou Quan better treatment in order to eliminate the bad influence of the last incident.

This is his first time facing the media in the Pistons, but he has a wealth of experience in UCLA, and he is calm and easy to deal with.

"Tekken, can you tell me the details of the last violent incident in the locker room?" a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.

He smiled mildly: "It doesn't make much sense to mention the things that have passed. In fact, similar things are very common in the other three major leagues. I think the NBA and MLB are better and not that serious.

I think young people who want to join the NBA don’t need to worry too much. There is only one Lambiel. There may be a prank joke waiting for you, but it will definitely not be like me.

And I want to say something to Shaq O'Neal: Shaq, long time no see, thank you for supporting me!In addition, I hope you don't waste your talent. I know that your talent is enough to dominate this league in the future, so I hope to see you in next year's draft. "

McCloskey standing in the corner couldn't help but secretly nodded, Zhou Quan's answer made him very happy.

The league has been under a lot of pressure recently, and the Pistons have also been under a lot of pressure from the league. This answer can divert the media's attention to other leagues, especially the NFL, which is a hundred times more violent than the NBA.

This answer based on the overall situation is beneficial to the team and the league. It is an answer with high emotional intelligence, which is a hundred times stronger than an answer that is obsessed with personal grievances.

"Iron Fist, now that the Pistons have lost six games in a row, are you looking forward to the return of the Smiling Assassin?" a reporter from the Detroit Sports News asked.

Zhou Quan looked at the reporter with a smile. He knew that the media in Detroit didn't like him very much. After all, Thomas had too much influence in that city.

After thinking for a while, he said: "No matter what happens, he and I still belong to the same team. Now the team's lineup is not complete. For the sake of the team, I certainly look forward to his return."

"Will you settle with him?" the reporter asked.

Putting away his usual gentle smile, Zhou Quan adjusted his expression to a dignified state, and said righteously: "If the team needs it, I can."

"Thank you!"

The reporter laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a fan of the Smiling Assassin, and he knows that Thomas is in a very bad situation now. If Iron Fist is unwilling to reconcile, then under tremendous pressure, Thomas, like Lambiel, can only be forced to retire sadly. With an embarrassed posture and a bad reputation, he ended his career in a hurry.

In the corner, McCloskey and Chuck Daly both laughed.

"Jack, Zhou is a person who understands the general situation. He is very magnanimous. He can consider the overall situation and has a natural leadership temperament. Thomas and the others really lost their minds that day and did something stupid." Daly said in a low voice.

McCloskey nodded and said: "If Thomas and Zhou reconcile, our strength will recover. Although Lambir is missing, the strength of the first position will be stronger."

"Dennis, you scored 20 points and 15 rebounds today. The team led the game in scoring and was the best player in the game. What made you explode into a strong scoring ability and perform like a superstar?" a reporter asked.

The grinning Rodman shook his head and said: "I just like rebounding, but it doesn't mean I don't have offensive ability. My superstar performance tonight is proof."

Joe Dumars next to him curled his lips, and the ball that Iron Fist gave you was fed directly into your mouth. You just need to put the ball into the basket.

After the press conference, the Pistons left for Miami overnight. They will fight against the Heat tomorrow night.

Before boarding the plane, Joe Dumars made a phone call to Thomas, who was relieved that his plight had turned around.

On the plane, the atmosphere of the Pistons was very good. From the management to the players, everyone was in a good mood.

Joe Dumas revealed Zhou Quan's willingness to reconcile to everyone, and John Sely and Mark Aguirre were very happy.

Zhou Quan sat in the front seat with Joe Dumars, looking at his system.

The task reward has been obtained, and the current prediction has become 73.

"Zhou, aren't you worried that Isiah will come back and take your starting position?" Joe Dumas asked curiously.

Zhou Quan smiled, tilted his head and looked at the other party and said: "There is competition and pressure to make progress, whether it is a country or an individual."

Joe Dumars nodded in understanding, what makes progress is pressure. In his opinion, this is aggressiveness, and Iron Fist is as aggressive as Thomas and Jordan.
