God of NBA point guards

Chapter 21 Does your face still hurt?

"Ding ding ding..."

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 13th, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumas were awakened by the ringing of the phone.

"mine."

He quickly raised his upper body and went to get his mobile phone.

Joe Dumas yawned and looked at his watch. It was only six o'clock in the morning, and he felt the need to urinate heavily, so he got up to drain the water.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Quan."

"Hey, Xiaoquan, is it Xiaoquan? Lao Zhou, it seems to be Xiaoquan's voice, speaking in a foreign language, I can't understand..."

A very familiar voice sounded over there, the voice of his mother Lin Yufen, who suddenly became excited and shouted: "Mom, Mom, it's me, Xiaoquan!"

"Hey, it's Xiaoquan, it's Xiaoquan..." Lin Yufen's voice choked up instantly.

"Xiao Quan, I'm Dad!"

"Brother, I am Xiaojun."

"Brother, I'm Xiao Yezi, when will you come back? Mom gave me 20 yuan pocket money today, hehe!"

The voices of several people rang again on the phone, it was father and younger brothers and sisters.

It turned out that the family received the remittance and installed the phone. It was just installed today, and I couldn't wait to call at eight o'clock in the evening.

The family chatted for a few minutes, and her mother, Lin Yufen, was reluctant to hang up the phone, but she also couldn't bear the expensive overseas phone bills, so she finally urged him to hang up.

"Your home phone number?"

Qiao Dumas lay back on the bed again, heard the words of parents and mothers in Zhou Quan's words, and asked under speculation.

"Ah."

Zhou Quan nodded, put down his mobile phone, and said, "I haven't been back to the United States for more than two years since I came to the United States in 89."

"You can bring your family to live in Detroit, and with your current economic conditions, it's not a problem at all." Joe Dumars suggested.

"My agent also suggested it, but China and the United States are very different. My family is not used to it, and it is difficult to live here." He shook his head.

He actually doesn’t want his family to come here. The environment here is actually very bad for Chinese people, and the racial discrimination against Chinese people is very serious, especially now that there are more and more black people in Detroit, and safety is also a big problem. The problem is that living in China is not bad. You can live well wherever you have money. It’s not bad to come and live for a while occasionally, but it’s not necessary for a long time.

On the evening of the 13th, the Heat's home arena.

The Heat only joined the league in 88. This is the fourth season. They did not enter the playoffs in the first three seasons. The current record is [-] wins and [-] losses, and they played two games less than the Pistons at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Although the Heat's strength is not very good, the current strength of the Pistons is even worse, and the back-to-back physical fitness is affected. In the end, the Pistons ushered in a seven-game losing streak at the beginning.

Zhou Quan played 35 minutes and played back-to-back games for the first time. His performance was mediocre, not as good as the previous game.

全场13投4中，命中率30.7%，3罚2中，拿到10分4篮板5助攻1抢断3失误2犯规。

The next day, at noon on the 14th, the Pistons returned to Detroit. On the 15th, they will face the Jazz led by Black and White Shuangsha at home.

In order to save the team, McCloskey struck while the iron was hot, and he invited the smiling assassin Thomas and Zhou Quan to lunch, and deliberately disclosed the news to the media at the airport.

At a quarter past two, in a well-known high-end restaurant, Zhou Quan once again met the "noble man" Isiah Thomas.

When they met, both sides snorted secretly, but they both had gentle smiles like angels on their faces.

Reconciliation, that is external, real reconciliation, how easy is it?

"Shake hands."

McCloskey whispered a reminder to the two.

Zhou Quan stretched out his hand proactively, and whispered in his ear, "Isaiah, does your face still hurt?"

"Crack clap..."

When the two shook hands, media reporters pressed the shutters one after another, recording the scene of the reconciliation between the two.

Just as Thomas held Zhou Quan's hand, he trembled when he heard the words, his teeth trembled, the smile on his face became brighter, and he whispered in his ear, "Boy, don't be complacent, your injury is only a few days old."

"Listen well, old bird, after you go back, please give me peace of mind, don't bully the rookies, don't take the position of Joe Dumas, or your face will still hurt, I promise."

Zhou Quan's face trembled, he smiled at the media outside, and after whispering something in his ear, he let go of his hand.

McCloskey was listening, looking left and right, he felt that these two guys were like twins, only with different skin colors.

"Isaiah, how do you feel about your luck recently?" a reporter asked.

Thomas' face darkened in an instant. Fucking luck, didn't you ask the question knowingly?He faltered: "I think everything will be fine."

"Have you and Iron Fist really reconciled?" the reporter asked.

"of course."

Thomas was silent for a moment.

"Isaiah, you failed in the Olympic men's basketball selection this summer. Some media said it was because of Michael Jordan, and Stockton replaced you. What do you think?" Another reporter asked.

"I don't know, you can ask the Basketball Association."

Hearing this, Thomas' face became even uglier.

This was a thorn in his heart. According to media rumors, Jordan told the Basketball Association that there was no one but him, which eventually led to his position being replaced by John Stockton.

Now he not only hates Jordan, but also John Stockton, who replaced him.Of course, what I hate the most is the rookie in front of me.

"Tekken, what made you willing to reconcile?" a reporter asked.

Zhou Quan carefully explained: "Everything starts from the needs of the team and fans. We are players, and the interests of the team and fans are our first consideration. Personal grievances are not important.

After all, Isaiah and I just had a little private conflict, and it's over when it's over. We're both men, so we shouldn't take this little issue to heart.

There is a saying in China that we don't get to know each other without fighting, which means that we get to know each other better after some misunderstandings, and we will make friends and even become friends because of this.

This is the case with him and me. We have misunderstandings, but after getting to know each other, we will let go of our prejudices because of the same goal and work hard for the team together. "

An hour later, the news of the reconciliation between Zhou Quan and Isiah Thomas spread throughout the United States through the media and the deliberate publicity of the league officials.

Zhou Quan took the opportunity to establish a majestic and tall image, and the accusations of Detroit fans on him disappeared at once, and the pressure was greatly reduced. This is also an important reason why he chose to reconcile with Thomas. He wants to become a star, fans It is the most important foundation, and the local fans where the team is located are the top priority.

On the afternoon of the 15th, the Pistons came to the Palace of Auburn Hills.
