Zhou Quan ordered a table of dishes and asked, "Dad, you've been working as a section chief for eight or nine years and you haven't moved up yet?"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Jianguo immediately smiled broadly and said, "It's coming soon, it's coming soon."
"Last year, I said that I would mention the deputy bureau, but when I mentioned that it hasn't happened this year, your dad is just bragging." Lin Yufen said with a smile.
"No way, it's coming soon, the assessment is in progress." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.
Zhou Quan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, what's that? Our family is not short of money now. Don't touch the money you have."
Zhou Jianguo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoquan, Dad knows the importance."
Zhou Quan said to Lin Yufen: "Mom, I don't think the house has been tidied up much, and I haven't bought anything. Is all the money I gave you saved?"
"I want to buy a motorcycle, but your mother won't do it and saves it all for you." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.
Lin Yufen rolled her eyes at Zhou Jianguo and said, "It's not like the unit doesn't have a car, so what are you spending the money on? You just want to show off. Now that Xiaoquan has bought a car, it's enough for you to show off."
"Haha..." Zhou Jianguo became happy.
"Mom, don't save that little money. Use it for your family. If you see anything you want to buy, just buy it. Jewelry, such as gold bracelets, can keep their value if you keep them handy." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Mom is old, why would you buy that thing?" Lin Yufen shook her head hurriedly.
While eating and chatting, Zhou Quan suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Jianguo: "Dad, is there any commercial housing in Changsha now?"
"You want to buy a house?"
Zhou Jianguo understood immediately.
The house at home is indeed too small, with only two rooms, one for his wife and three children, which is a bit too crowded.
Seeing Zhou Quan nod, Zhou Jianguo immediately said happily: "It's time to buy it, I think it's better for you to buy a house than a car.
Our Changsha City has been promoting residential commercialization since 1984. The first real estate companies were established in 1986. More than 800 houses were sold in the first year of 1986. Last year, I heard that a total of 20,000 houses were sold in Changsha. There are still many rich people. "
Seeing his father's envious look, Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Dad, you know so well, it seems you have always wanted to buy a house?"
Zhou Jianguo shook his head and smiled: "I just thought about it, how can I have the money to buy it?"
He continued: "However, after this year's southern tour, prices have gone up a bit. They have increased by at least 20%. Now the most expensive lot is up to 1,000 per square meter, and the worst lot is 500 per square meter. If I had known you wanted When it comes to buying a house, you should have bought it last year.”
"one thousand?"
Zhou Quan thought about the southern tour, which would have a quick effect, so house prices might rise in the future, so he decided to buy a few houses for his family immediately. His parents, he and his younger siblings would need at least four houses.
"Four units? And the best location?"
Lin Yufen was shocked when she heard Zhou Quan's words.
Zhou Jiantian also took a breath and calculated: "Xiao Quan, one unit in the best location costs at least 100,000, and four units can cost hundreds of thousands."
"It's okay, it's just the money for the car outside." Zhou Quan said with relief.
"That car, that car... is worth four houses?" Lin Yufen looked distressed.
After dinner, since Zhou Quan was determined to buy a house, the family went to look at the houses. It was convenient to have a car and there were not many properties, so they looked at all the properties in one afternoon.
Finally, I chose a real estate in the East District. Changsha City is currently divided into the five districts of southeast, northwest, and middle. The East District, which will be Furong District in the future, is the area where municipal and provincial government agencies are concentrated.
Zhou Quan called Philip in the evening and asked about the finals. Philip told him that the Bulls won the championship with a score of four to two.
Jordan averaged 35.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.3 blocks, 4 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game in the series.
In addition, the field goal percentage is 52.6% and the true shooting percentage is 61.5%.
"Is it still so strong in the finals?" He was quite shocked.
In the finals, the Trail Blazers must have tried their best to defend, and they actually allowed Jordan to produce such statistics. No wonder Joe Dumars and the others would be weakened and demoralized when facing Jordan.
…
After staying at home for two days, Zhou Quan drove to Wudang Mountain in Hubei.
My grandpa used to teach in the countryside and had a very good relationship with my grandma as a childhood sweetheart. After my grandma died in a car accident, my grandpa was so stimulated that he ran frantically from Hunan to Hubei and became a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain, saying he wanted to cultivate immortality. It's been six years.
After climbing the mountain road for two hours, he finally met his grandfather Lin Changfeng.
"Xiaoquan, are you back from the United States? Be good and know to see grandpa. When you return to your hometown, go and visit grandma's grave."
"Well, Grandpa, you've aged a bit too fast in the past few years! It's better to come down the mountain with me and live in our house. My grandparents are gone, so my parents can honor you..."
"No, Xiaoquan, I'm about to become an immortal, don't stop me from cultivating an immortal."
Zhou Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Are you afraid that you will build a deep well of ice?
Before going to the United States in 1989, he and his father came once. At that time, his grandfather's illness was not so serious. He had not seen him for only three years, but he was already "terminal". No, he was almost immortal.
"Xiaoquan, I see that you are very talented and talented. I have a great method of cultivating immortals here. How about passing it on to you?" Lin Changfeng said in an amiable and authentic way.
"What Dafa?" Zhou Quan asked, dumbfounded.
Lin Changfeng said proudly: "This is the supreme immortal cultivation method passed down to Master Sanfeng by the ancestor Chen Tuan, the Hidden Dragon Sleeping Pill Technique. You can become an immortal while sleeping.
I remember that when Patriarch Chen Tuan slept for eight hundred years, Master Sanfeng subdued the snake and the turtle and founded Wudang, relying on it..."
Seeing his grandfather going crazy and foaming at the mouth, Zhou Quan really couldn't bear to refuse.
After staying in Wudang Mountain for two days and two nights, he learned a Taoist method of cultivating immortals from his grandfather before he came down from the mountain and returned home.
Before going down the mountain, he donated 5,000 yuan in sesame oil money to the Taoist temple and asked them to take care of his grandfather.
"Xiao Quan, don't stay up late. Remember to sleep. Sleep for twenty hours a day. If you sleep for a few decades, you will become an immortal."
When going down the mountain, my grandfather shouted at the top of his lungs, which almost caused him to fall down the mountain.
After transferring from Hubei, he did not return to Changsha, but went directly back to his hometown of Jiaode.
He is from Taoyuan, a suburb of a small town. The road is full of potholes, one after another. Fortunately, he is driving an SUV. If it were a car, the chassis might have fallen halfway. Even if it was an SUV, many areas would be damaged. Have to drive slowly.
There are still some relatives in his hometown, the closest one is his second uncle's family, who also have a house, but the house is very dilapidated, and Zhou Quan plans to spend money to renovate it.
My second uncle is seven years younger than my father. He has two cousins and one cousin. The eldest cousin is still in junior high school and has a heavy burden. He has little money, but he is very kind to him. In 1989, when he studied abroad, my father came back to borrow money. The second uncle emptied the house and borrowed six thousand yuan.
He left 100,000 yuan to his second uncle. This money can be used to build two three-story buildings with four seams and three bays in his hometown, or three two-story buildings with four bays and three bays.
He asked his second uncle to demolish the old house and rebuild a three-story building with four bays and three rooms for him. The rest of the money was considered his second uncle's wages.
After staying in his hometown for two days, he returned to Changsha.
Next, he has to arrange his own shooting training.
Strength training has to be carried out back in the United States, and he cannot waste more than a month in China. Shooting training will not consume so much physical energy.
There are many shooting tasks in the system, more than ten, for each shooting method. The more completed, the greater the reward. There is no time limit, but he must focus on several of the trainings first.
As a point guard, the first thing to complete is the training task of ball control. This task is only once and requires thirty hours of training. After completion, breakthrough +1, ball control +1, and ball feel +1 are relatively cost-effective.
Then there is the layup task, which can be completed twice. Breakthrough and layup scoring is the most efficient way. His main direction to improve his strength in the future is to improve his offensive efficiency, so the layup task is completed first.
There is also a tossing task, which can be completed twice. He is now level 90. Level 92 should improve his nearly two-point shooting percentage.
His shooting percentage in the past two points is the lowest, and it is even lower than his three-point shooting, but sometimes he is blocked when he breaks in, or is double-teamed, and he has to take a shot there, so improving his floaters is also a must.
Then there is the level 86 step-back jump shot, which can be completed 5 times. This is a technique that can be used in the long range of mid-range shots and must be improved as soon as possible.
Ball control training does not count. As long as you complete the three shooting trainings of throwing shots, step-back jump shots, and layups, in addition to improving your own skills, you can also get additional rewards of +1 for shooting and +1 for offense.
It took 9,000 shooting training sessions to improve his basic shooting skills by one level. Now his basic shooting skills are at level 94. It should be said that improving this basic skill will become more and more difficult in the future. After all, striving for perfection is the most difficult thing.
On June 22, before dawn, he got up at five o'clock, took the key to the community gate that he asked Uncle Chen for yesterday, and started physical training, running ten kilometers in the morning at a pace of five.
His running posture was corrected by Swelton, who is said to reduce stress and wear on his knee joints.
I finished my running training at six o'clock and returned to the community sweating profusely. At this time, Uncle Chen who was watching the gate had also gotten up.
"Uncle Chen, good morning."
"Xiaoquan, are you back from running?"
"OK."
When I got home, my mother happened to get up too.
"Mom, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"You said you wanted to train yesterday, so I got up to make breakfast for you. Xiaojun and Xiaoye are getting up too."
"Let me do it."
"I'll come, I'll come. Your mother, I'm only in my forties, I'm not old yet. You're all sweaty, go take a shower and change some clothes first."
"That's okay."
The home already uses liquefied gas tanks. This time he bought a water heater and installed it. It is very convenient to take a bath.
"Mom, I'm going down."
"Hey, don't be tired."
"knew."
After breakfast, Zhou Jun and Zhou Ye went to school, Zhou Jianguo went to work, and Zhou Quan also took the prepared basketball and went downstairs for training.
There is an open-air basketball court in the community, but the basketball stand is too old and made of wooden boards. It is broken and there is only one ring left.
It's barely okay, Zhou Quan trains here.
Today is Monday. After a while, a circle of adults and aunts and uncles gathered around to watch the excitement. There were also some unemployed young people who asked questions from time to time.
"This won't work. We have to find another place."
He stopped practicing for a while, carried the basketball out of the community, and went to the nearby elementary school where Zhou Ye studied.
It was only one stop away. Zhou Ye always walked to school. When he got to school, he went straight in and no one stopped him.
He trains on the school playground. The basketball stand here is even better. The net is gone, but at least the wooden boards are not broken.
A teacher did not stop him when he saw it, but a physical education teacher looked at it and said in surprise:
"I can't tell. You are quite professional. Did you come from a sports school? I came from a sports school, and I am also a basketball player. I have been in the city team. Now I know almost all the players in the city team and the provincial team. I have never met you. !”
"I'm not from a sports school." Zhou Quan stopped and said.
"Yeah, big brother? Big brother, are you here to find me?"
At this time, the bell rang, the first period was over, and it was time to relax. Zhou Ye and a group of classmates ran to the playground to play. When they saw Zhou Quan, they quickly ran over cheering.
"Are you Zhou Ye's eldest brother? The one who plays basketball in the United States?" the physical education teacher said in surprise.
Zhou Quan touched the little head of Zhou Ye who was holding him on his lap and asked: "Yes, my name is Zhou Quan. Little Ye Zi, is this your PE teacher?"
"Hello, Teacher Zhang." Zhou Ye shouted quickly.
Teacher Zhang nodded and said: "When Zhou Ye was in physical education class, he often talked about you in front of his classmates, saying that you played in the United States and were very good. Can you see it?"
Zhou Quan smiled and asked: "One-on-one? Let's fight a few."
"Come and see, my big brother is going to play, come on, come on."
Zhou Ye immediately waved his little hand and started to call his friends. A large number of children and several teachers quickly gathered on the playground.
Three minutes later, the duel ended, and Teacher Zhang expressed his submission.
"Look, you don't believe me, my eldest brother is great, right? Even Teacher Zhang can't beat him, he's very powerful." Zhou Ye said proudly.
"Little Ye Zi, let your brother be our physical education teacher?"
"Little Ye Zi, let me teach us how to play basketball?"
A group of children kept shouting and yelling, but they didn't notice that Teacher Zhang's face turned dark.
Zhou Quan found that he couldn't practice quietly in school, but he had nowhere else to go.
And there is only one basketball court, and there is a physical education class, so he can't take away the children's space. Come on, let's go back to the community for training.
"Lao Zhou, Xiao Quan doesn't have a place to train. You can find one. He said it's best to go indoors with a wooden floor, or a cement floor will do."
"That requires a professional basketball court."
"Dad, please pay for the rent."
"No, it all costs money. Can I still get along in Changsha? Xiaoquan, are you looking down on your father?"
Zhou Jianguo came home at noon. After knowing that Zhou Quan had no good place to train, he immediately got into action and drove out, not even bothering to eat lunch.
In the end, he found it. He had a classmate who was the deputy director of the Municipal Tobacco Bureau. He had a close relationship and said that the bureau had just built an indoor basketball court, which would allow Zhou Quan to train without spending money.
Of course, there is a price to pay, that is, if you like his car, you have to borrow it to drive it for a few days, and you have to fill it with gas first.
Next, Zhou Quan trained at the Tobacco Bureau. It was neither windy nor rainy. It was much better than an open-air court. No one was there except on weekends.
In addition to physical training, he also only had four hours of shooting training, and four other training contents such as ball control, one hour each, and rested the rest of the time.
On June 25, the CCTV Sports Department in the capital received a videotape from the NBA on the other side of the Pacific.
Here are some highlights, from the regular season to the playoffs, including the All-Stars and this Finals, there are several hours of content.
Among them, Jordan is of course the top priority, and his game footage accounts for at least 50%.
David Stern personally decided to include many of Zhou Quan's game shots. He very much hopes that Zhou Quan can become famous in the country, which will help promote the NBA.
The Minister of Sports is Ma Li, who has been promoted from Deputy Minister to Minister.
In 1989, Zhou Quan went to the United States to study. David Stern happened to come to China without an appointment to promote the NBA on CCTV. The person who received him was Ma Li, the deputy director of the Sports Department of CCTV at the time.
"Let's take a look. I heard that Michael Jordan successfully defended his title this time and has won two consecutive championships."
After receiving the videotape, Ma Li took several people to the video room to watch it first.
Following him in were the commentators Sun Zhenping, Xu Jicheng, and two editors.
The first thing they watched was the all-star highlights, a group of superstar performances, and several people were very happy to watch it.
"This man's name is Magic, right? I heard he had AIDS last year. Aren't these people afraid of getting infected?" Ma Li pointed at Magic Johnson and said.
"Mabu, I also joined the US men's basketball team this time." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.
"Yeah?"
After the All-Star highlights, I changed to other tapes, and Zhou Quan's highlights began to appear, and there were quite a few, second only to Jordan, and no less than half an hour.
David Stern was very particular. He did not choose the scene of Zhou Quan and Jordan playing against each other because he did not want Chinese fans to see the scene of Zhou Quan being beaten by Jordan. As for the scene of Jordan suffering a loss under Zhou Quan, It won't even be cut in.
"Are they Chinese or Japanese? Although not as good as Jordan, I think they are pretty good. There are many beautiful passes and some dunks."
"They must be Japanese, right? I heard that basketball in Japan has been very popular in recent years."
The five people watched Zhou Quan's highlights and started discussing.
Ma Li said: "Go and ask someone who can speak English to come over. There is a commentary here. Find out what his name is. Wouldn't you know if he is Chinese or Japanese?"
Soon, someone who could speak English was called. There are a lot of such people on CCTV.
"It should be Tekken, that's right. Mabu, his name is Tekken, it should be a nickname." The visitor said after looking at it for a while.
"Iron Fist?" Ma Li was startled.
After watching a few more shots of Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan's regular data appeared, with his mug shot in the upper left corner.
"Hey, stop, I saw his photo, his name should be on it." Sun Zhenping shouted.
"Zhouquan, is it Zhouquan? He should be Chinese, right?"
"Iron Fist, Zhou Fist, that should be the name. It's definitely not a Japanese name. Japanese names are all place names, not two characters."
"His team is the Detroit Pistons. I know this city, the Motor City of America."
"Pistons? Didn't the Pistons win the championship the year before last?"
Sun Zhenping said: "It's a pity that I can't contact Director Zhang. I heard that he is in the United States, in Chicago, the city where Jordan is located. Otherwise, I would like to ask him."
"Zhang Lili? Then you can find a way to contact him. In addition, check with the Basketball Department of the Sports Committee to see if he is from China." Ma Li asked.
"Okay." Sun Zhenping nodded.
Ma Ma thought for a while and said, "Let's look at the back to see if there is any specific information about him."
After reading all the highlights of Zhou Quan and without any specific information about him, they still don't know who Zhou Quan is.
In fact, David Stern did not expect Zhou Quan to be so unknown in China. He believed that if Zhou Quan could achieve a certain degree of fame in the NCAA, he would definitely be famous in his own country, so he did not prepare specific information at all.
"Mabe, do you want to cut some of his scenes in?" an editor asked.
"I'll mainly cut Jordan's pieces. I'll just cut a few of them this week, not too many."
I only know that his name is Zhou Quan, I don’t even know if he is Chinese, let alone if he is Chinese, and Ma Guo doesn’t dare to cut more.
However, he plans to contact the NBA and ask for this young man's information.
The next day, CCTV 2 broadcast a 15-minute NBA highlight reel behind the Olympic program, including three scenes of Zhou Quan.
There is no splash in these three scenes. Sun Zhenping, who is in charge of hosting the show, does not know Zhou Quan’s specific information at all, so there is no introduction at all.
Zhou Quan himself didn't see it. His family was watching the new Legend of the White Snake. He had to wait a thousand years to watch it. He was addicted to watching it. Who would watch the second set?
On June 28, the 1992 NBA Draft began, and O'Neal was selected by the Magic as the No. 1 pick.
After the draft is over, the league's trade window is also open. Teams can conduct trade negotiations and meet with players. Once the freeze period expires in late July, the transaction can be officially completed.
