At this time, the starting team comes on, and the visiting team goes first.
Zhou Quan was the first to appear. He used to play here often, participating in basketball and ice hockey at the same time. He still had many opportunities and had some popularity. Many fans at the scene began to applaud, including some Chinese fans and international students, cheering for him.
"Hey there," he waved.
"Iron Fist, I haven't been back to school for a long time. Your girlfriends are still waiting for you there. They are about to become husband stones."
A domestic international student classmate shouted loudly.
"Shut up, okay? My current girlfriend is right here." He said angrily.
"Ha ha……"
Everyone who heard it burst into laughter.
Coming to Catherine's side, the two kissed in public, attracting a lot of attention.
"Hey, Mr. West."
"Hey, Iron Fist."
Lakers general manager Jerry West was also present, and Zhou Quan went over to say hello.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Jump ball, Lakers offense.
Sedale Slater advanced to the frontcourt, but before he got close to the top of the arc, Zhou Quan blocked the front.
The two are the same height, but Slater is only 79 kilograms. He is a little faster and more agile than Zhou Quan, so he immediately goes around to the right and pulls to the right wing, and Zhou Quan immediately follows.
At this time, Slater and shooting guard Scott played a pick-and-roll tactic at the three-point line, and Slater broke through with the ball from Scott's right side.
Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars did not switch defenses, quickly bypassed Scott and caught up with Slater.
Joe Dumars was experienced and immediately went down to double-team and cut off the passing line between Slater and Scott.
Slater made a hurried jump shot and missed. Rodman grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Pistons attacked.
Zhou Quan took the ball to the frontcourt, crushing Slater from the top of the arc to the free throw line. At this time, the Lakers' perimeter did not shrink, but power forward AC Green immediately took two steps up, intending to double-team.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan saw a passing route and pressed down casually. The basketball passed by the outside of Slater's thigh, hit Green's feet behind him, and bounced into the space under the basket.
Taking a step to the right of the basket, Rodman caught the ball, took off and sent it to the basket. With a bang, the ball bounced on the basket and bounced out.
"This guy!"
Zhou Quan felt his tooth hurt from seeing this.
Under the basket, Lakers center Campbell immediately took off to grab the rebound, but Rodman was much faster than him, picked the offensive rebound over his head, and then took off for the third time.
"boom!"
Smashed the basket again.
"It's still mine!"
Rodman took off for the fourth time and grabbed the second offensive rebound.
This time he didn't waste any more opportunities, took off for the fifth time and put the ball into the basket.
Campbell jumped a few times and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. For a big center like him, the ability to take off continuously is too lacking.
"Big Chong, the performance was good."
Zhou Quan applauded Rodman with a straight face.
Rodman pretended not to see Zhou Quan's face. When the two of them passed each other, he smiled triumphantly and said: "Iron Fist, nightlife does not reduce my vitality. I am better than you at this point."
Zhou Quan's face turned dark instantly. What do you mean? You dare to say that I have no energy. I am not my teammate. My gloves have already reached your face.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhou Quan retreated to the midline and suddenly made a steal against Slater. He missed the ball, but forced the opponent to turn around and protect the ball.
At this time, he immediately engaged in physical confrontation, pressing his body against the opponent's back, wrapping his arms around him, not giving the opponent a chance to turn around, and squeezing the opponent's center of gravity at the same time.
Lakers shooting guard Scott came over immediately to respond, but Joe Dumars moved faster and double-teamed him first.
"Snapped!"
Slater, who was squeezed, took off and passed the ball to Steko, but was knocked out by Zhou Quan in time. Joe Dumars grabbed the ball, completed the steal and then quickly made the pass.
Zhou Quan followed up, received a return pass from Joe Dumas, and jumped up.
"boom!"
With a one-handed dunk, he exploded into the Lakers' basket.
Catherine happily began to applaud.
She recalled that the first time she saw Zhou Quan, it was also in this arena. It was an NCAA ice hockey game. After Zhou Quan won two PKs, the fans in the audience shouted "Iron Fist Massacre" and were affected by the atmosphere. , her hormones were overflowing and she became interested in him.
Unfortunately, she and he were both too young and their relationship was unstable. That passionate love did not last long and ended when she left.
And this time, she is actually not sure whether she can gain a foothold in Hollywood. If not, and her development fails, she may be forced to leave again.
In this game, the Pistons finally won.
Zhou Quan took 16 shots, including 9 breakthrough layups, and hit 8 goals in total. He was in very good condition. With free throws, he scored 21 points, 12 assists, three steals and a block.
Steals and blocks were all given to the opponent Slater, and he only scored 8 points and 4 assists in defense. His performance was far below normal.
"such a pity!"
The current rising stars of point guards in the league include Payton and Zhou Quan. Jerry West regrets missing out on a promising young point guard.
"Big Chong, you are not very energetic today." After the game, Zhou Quan said to Rodman with a straight face.
Rodman said awkwardly: "Iron Fist, I'm just a little unlucky. I will get 20 rebounds in the next game, I guarantee it."
He grabbed 15 rebounds today, but at least four of them were offensive rebounds, and the real number of rebounds was just over ten.
"How about my vitality?" Zhou Quan asked again.
Rodman immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a flattering smile: "I have a lot of TT here, Iron Fist, you can definitely fight with Catherine until dawn."
"roll!"
Zhou Quan smiled and cursed, then turned to find Catherine.
Back at the hotel, he found another room in the team's hotel, and then quietly continued to spend the night with Catherine.
There was no way, one season in Los Angeles meant two away games, and Catherine spent more time in Detroit than he did. He had to seize the opportunity to show off and respect the girl.
The next day, on the 9th, the Pistons arrived in Seattle.
The Emerald City is the largest city in the Pacific West region of the United States and the largest city in Washington state. It is the birthplace of American grunge music and the most suitable place to live in the United States in recent years.
There are also many Chinese here, with 3% of the urban population of 3 million being Chinese. Black market Chinese smuggling are not included in the data.
After settling in the hotel, it was only two o'clock. Zhou Quan asked for leave from the team and asked Joe Dumars to hang out. Rodman was unwilling to be lonely and called Darnell Walker, and the four of them left the hotel.
"Look, that's Boeing's headquarters. One day I'm going to go in with a bag of cash and come out with a beautiful flight attendant."
"No, idiot, there are no stewardesses there, just strong men on the assembly line."
"That's the headquarters of Microsoft. I heard that there were all U.S. dollars in there. When I came here last season, I looked inside and there were no U.S. dollars there."
"Hey, that's Nintendo headquarters and I love its games."
"I guess the beauty is from France and her eyes are blue."
"I still like Russian beauties. Many of them never leave once they come. I have found them several times, but they are a bit expensive."
Sitting in the car, along the way, two guys, Rodman and Darnell Walker, were yelling from time to time.
After walking around Seattle for two hours and having afternoon tea, the four of us returned to the hotel.
