God of NBA point guards

Chapter 22 The Palace of Auburn Hills

The Palace of Auburn Hills is located in Auburn Hills, 80 kilometers away from the urban area. It cost 7000 million U.S. dollars and was put into use in 88. It can accommodate 2000 people, has 180 luxury boxes, 1000 club membership seats, and three restaurants.

Throughout the 80s, especially in the middle and late stages, the Bad Boys Corps has become a signboard for the NBA's external marketing. Bad boys are bad to the bone. This is the best comment on the Bad Boys Corps.

Now almost all league teams are actually following the trend to build a team similar to the Bad Boys. Tough, iron-blooded, and tough have become the symbols of the 90s.

From 83 to 88, the Pistons were the team with the highest attendance in the entire league. Teams such as the Bulls, Greens, Lakers, and Knicks were not as good as the Pistons. The average attendance was as high as 21400. This is the influence of the Bad Boys.

Zhou Quan stood in the field, looking at the huge and empty arena, and felt a sense of oppression.

He doesn't want to be a bad boy, but it doesn't mean he doesn't recognize the achievements and influence of the bad boy army. He is very aware of the strength of the bad boy army.

In the mid-to-late 80s, this was a team that no other team was willing to face. Everyone was afraid of it. The glory of the two consecutive championships. If Jordan hadn’t entered his peak period, he might have the opportunity to create the highest honor of the three consecutive championships. , anyway, this is a great team.

Now that he is here, he has overturned the Bad Boys, forced Lambiel to retire, and forced the Smiling Assassin to keep his head down. However, if he can't bear the history of the Pistons, his result will not be the same in the end. How good it will be.

Even, history will say that the bad boy army had a chance to continue its glory, but because of him, it lost the opportunity.

So, he was actually under a lot of pressure.

The history of two consecutive championships is not so easy to carry. Jordan has only won one championship after playing for so many years.

He has to win at least one championship, or even two championships as a core player, to prove that he has not delayed the bad boy army.

If he's going to prove himself stronger than the Bad Boys, it's Dynasty.

Thinking of the Smiling Assassin put him under a lot of psychological pressure.

He has never underestimated Isiah Thomas, and he has no right to underestimate others. A strong fist does not mean that he is better than others. From a basketball perspective, he is eighteen levels behind Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas, the smiling assassin, is only 182 centimeters tall naked. He is a small man who deflated Jordan, made Big Bird drink his hatred, and made the magician crumble. He is the greatest small player of this era.

If there hadn't been a fight, even now, Isiah Thomas was the object of his adoration, the object of his hard work.

Simply put, he also wants to become a great little player like Isiah Thomas and leave his own mark in the history of the NBA.

He beat such a person violently, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined.

For Thomas, his dislike was far less than that of Lambiel. Lambiel forced him to admit that he was Japanese, which pierced his bottom line with a knife.

He is from Wuling. Fifty years ago, on the eve of the Battle of Wuling, four relatives of his family died under the bayonets of the Japanese. In his generation, there is still deep-seated hatred, forcing him to admit that he is Japanese, that is, The greatest humiliation to him.

……

"Hey!"

Just then, someone came out from the player tunnel, it turned out to be Isiah Thomas.

It has been forty days since the fight, his trauma is almost gone, he can move around freely, but he can't train yet, he came here today mainly to show his presence, he is afraid that if it drags on, his influence on the team will become more and more smaller.

"Isaiah, it's great to meet you." Joe Dumas immediately ran over with a smile.

"Joe."

Thomas nodded, his chin raised high, his usual angelic smile on his face, trying to maintain his previous appearance.

"Isaiah..."

Mark Aguirre and John Sely also ran over, as well as Rodman, and three role players who were with the Pistons last season, but they came to say hello because of face.

As for the others, including a fringe player who was in the Pistons last season, plus four rookies including Darnell Walker, they all walked to Zhou Quan's side and formed two small groups on the court.

There were few people on Zhou Quan's side, but he didn't look unhappy at all, and he still kept an angelic smile on his face.

He is very confident that in terms of communication, the Smiling Assassin, who is a bit out of tune with others, is inferior to him. He has established a good relationship with these people these days, and even if these people do not help him, they will not be right with him.

He doesn't think anyone else, including Rodman, will really be on the side of the Smiling Assassin besides John Sely and Mark Aguirre.

The reason is very simple. They didn't do it at such a critical moment when they did it last time, and they won't do it now.

While talking to someone, Thomas looked at Zhou Quan. The two of them met and smiled.

He breathed a sigh of relief, there were at least seven people united by his side, especially Joe Dumas's attitude towards him was the same as before, so he had the strength to contend with Iron Fist.

But at this moment, the three players who came over to say hello smiled and nodded at him, and then walked towards Zhou Quan.

Eight to six, suddenly became five to nine.

Even Joe Dumas and Rodman walked away a few steps after saying a few words. Although they didn't go to Zhou Quan's side, they kept a certain distance from him, and there were only two people around him. .

"Ha ha……"

It was interesting, Zhou Quan laughed.

"damn it!"

Thomas swears angrily.

At this time, Zhou Quan suddenly withdrew his smile and said with a serious face: "Okay, old bird, this is the last time. If you try to destroy the unity of the locker room again and form gangs here, I will not be polite to you."

Thomas hates it so much, I form a gang, what are you doing?
Zhou Quan glanced at everyone, and said with a very serious expression: "Now we have lost seven games in a row, and if we continue, everyone will have no good results, including you Isiah Thomas, including me, Zhou Quan, and the team management. layers and bosses.

The identity of the main players will plummet, role players will find it difficult to find a new home, marginal players will lose job opportunities, the ball market will be completely rotten, tickets will not be sold, commercial sponsorship will be greatly reduced, operations will be difficult, clubs will lay off staff, and the remaining jobs People will take pay cuts, and the Pistons will be a mess because of us. "

Following his words, everyone on the scene, from the management, to the players, to the surrounding staff and security personnel, all looked serious. They walked towards Zhou Quan slowly, all eyes focused on him.

They knew that if it continued, the situations Zhou Quan said would really appear one by one.

A scene seemed to flash before Isaiah Thomas' eyes. He left the Pistons in embarrassment, leaving behind him ruins and countless disappointed people.

This is his home team. He would rather retire, bow his head and reconcile with Iron Fist than leave the team. He has done everything here, and he doesn't want this place to be in ruins.
