On February 1st, the league announced January's Player of the Month. Dennis Rodman was elected, averaging 12.5 points and 20.5 rebounds per game.
The big bug's rebounding is one of the important reasons why the Pistons can climb to third place in the Eastern Conference.
The league also announced the latest MVP rankings. Michael Jordan still ranks first, averaging 31 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.9 blocks, 2.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls per game.
Judging from the current situation, Jordan, who has entered his peak period of consecutive MVPs, is very likely to win the third MVP in his career.
At the same time, the league updated the rookie rankings, and Zhou Quan surpassed Mutombo and ranked second.
His data is 17 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.9 turnovers and 2.6 fouls per game.
To be honest, he felt a little ashamed. This should be the reward Stern said, right?
In terms of personal data, he is not as good as Mutombo. After all, he averages a double-double per game, scores about the same as him, and his shooting efficiency is far higher than him. He currently only has a 41.9% field goal percentage. The team's record is not as good as the Pistons, currently ninth in the Eastern Conference.
However, the ranking of rookies does not look at the team's record, only personal performance, and he stole the second place from others.
Finally, the All-Star voting was announced.
Although there are many fans in Detroit who voted for Zhou Quan, the city's population is limited, his qualifications are also very shallow, his personal data is not very good, and the number of votes is only 170,000.
Joe Dumars is worth 140,000. This guy is very strong. He is the current scoring leader of the Pistons and the leader of the locker room, but he is too low-key, not handsome, and his style of play is not gorgeous.
The Assassin received more than 500,000 votes, only lower than Jordan among Eastern Conference defenders, but the gap is a bit big. Jordan received 820,000 votes.
This is because Jordan has been affected by negative public opinion recently, otherwise the number of votes would be even more. Last year he received more than 1.2 million votes, but this year he received 400,000 fewer votes.
In the East, the five starters are Ewing, Barkley, Pippen, Jordan, and Isiah Thomas.
In the West, the five starters are David Robinson, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, Drexler, and Earvin Johnson.
It is worth mentioning that although Magic chose to retire due to illness, he still received 650,000 votes in this All-Star voting, second only to Glider among Western Conference guards.
Because Thomas was injured, he chose to give up the All-Star game and was replaced by the Bullets' main point guard Michael Adams.
In addition, All-Star substitutes are selected by coaches. Good old Joe Dumars won the favor of all coaches in the league and became an All-Star Eastern Conference substitute guard.
That night, the Pistons defeated the Hawks and won their 31st victory.
After that, back in Detroit, the team had no games for a few days. The next game was to play the Bucks at home on the 5th.
The Pistons defeated the Bucks on No. 5, and on No. 6, in back-to-back games, the Pistons actually defeated the powerful Cavaliers and won their 33rd victory.
After playing against the Cavaliers, we entered the All-Star Weekend, and there was no fighting for four days.
Zhou Quan has no plans to go to the All-Star Game, so he just stays in Detroit, doing strength training and just resting.
His physical fitness is good, but he is only at level 91. He has not hit the rookie wall yet, but no one can say for sure, and he should try to avoid it.
In addition, the negotiation between Rogge and Skechers has ended. He will go to Los Angeles to sign the contract tomorrow afternoon, and his luggage is ready.
However, he wanted to rest, but someone refused to let him rest. The big client who booked him arrived.
"Catherine?"
At noon on the 7th, someone rang the doorbell. When he opened the door, he was shocked to see a pretty British beauty standing in front of the door, with two large suitcases next to her.
"Zhou, are you surprised?"
Catherine said with a bright smile.
"A real surprise."
Zhou Quan pulled Catherine into the door with one hand, and then closed the door with a bang.
"Ah, my luggage...um!"
Catherine exclaimed, and then her red lips were sealed.
"oh!"
A middle-aged woman passing by the door exclaimed when she saw the two of them immersed in a deep kiss, smiled and quickened her pace.
A minute later, Catherine, who was almost suffocating, pushed Zhou Quan away, looked back at the iron gate that could not block anything, and couldn't help but said angrily: "What's the use of closing this door, the king's new clothes?"
"Don't worry about it, let's move on."
Holding Catherine's slender waist, Zhou Quan kissed her again.
Five minutes later, Zhou Quan called his personal trainer and asked for a day off.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and their old love was rekindled. They were at the age when their hormones were at their peak, so they spent the whole afternoon in the bedroom before ending their intense love affair.
"Zhou, Detroit is too far away from Los Angeles. Do you have any plans to go back?" Catherine, who was frying steak in the kitchen, suddenly asked.
Zhou Quan leaned against the door frame. Hearing this question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Not at the moment. I have established a firm foothold here. It is impossible to leave within a few years."
He didn't want to talk more about this issue. Which team he would go to was not something he could decide. So he changed the subject and asked, "Catherine, how many days can you stay this time?"
Catherine said helplessly: "Sorry, the agent only gave me three days. In fact, she did not agree with me coming here."
After that, he explained: "Although I have just arrived, I have no connections and no job, but I still have to stay in Los Angeles and wait for job opportunities."
Zhou Quan nodded, but said with a smile: "But honey, I'm afraid you have to go back to Los Angeles."
"Why?" Catherine asked doubtfully.
"Because I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow." He laughed.
"Is there a job?" Catherine asked.
"Yes, I'm going to sign a sneaker contract. It's a signature sneaker contract with a company in Los Angeles." He explained.
Catherine didn't understand the rarity of a signed sneaker contract. She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "That's good. We can spend the weekend in Los Angeles."
The next day, the matter between Zhou Quan and Catherine made headlines in the Detroit media, and some paparazzi began to set up camp outside the community.
"Catherine, I didn't expect that your boyfriend is still well-known in the United States. I checked and found that he just had a conflict with NBA star Michael Jordan and is now attracting a lot of attention. I suggest you and him appear in front of the media. He is currently in trouble. He doesn’t have any reputation in the United States, so this is an unexpected opportunity. By the way, don’t rush back to Los Angeles, I haven’t found a job opportunity for you yet, so just stay with him.”
Catherine's agent, George Freeman, noticed this and contacted her that afternoon.
"No, I'm going back to Los Angeles in the afternoon, and the flight ticket has been booked," she said.
"What, you broke up?"
"Haha, no, it's just that he has a job and is going to Los Angeles to sign a signature sneaker contract." She explained.
"Signed sneakers? Catherine, he won't lie to you, right? Signature shoes are the top shoe contract. Now your boyfriend doesn't have that qualification, far from it."
"Really? I believe he won't lie to me. He didn't even explain what the signature sneakers meant. Listening to what you said, it seems that he is doing well now. Well, I have a good taste too. Then I have to consider now whether Give him a child and bind him completely, he has many girlfriends."
"Do you really want to give me a baby?"
Zhou Quan was startled and almost threw Catherine out of his arms.
