"Iron Fist, Michael Jordan just..."
At this time, Joe Dumars came over to report the news, and Zhou Quan learned that Jordan had called half of the All-Stars to the room, wondering what was going on.
He couldn't help but frown, and said to himself: "This guy has been targeted by the media in the past two days. He is not in the mood to make any conspiracy. Can he help it now?"
Although it is not certain, it is very possible that Jordan was isolated by the Assassins when he was the first All-Star, and his relationship with Jordan was worse than the relationship between Jordan and the Assassins. It is very possible that Jordan is isolating him now. .
Among the five starters in the Eastern Conference, Jordan was in the same group as Pippen and Larry Johnson. They were all dead souls under his fists and sworn enemies among sworn enemies. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to talk to O'Neal. He just hoped that the big Shark was not called over by Jordan.
"Take it! Take it!"
Doing what he thought of, he pulled Joe Dumas to O'Neal's room and knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
The sound of sharks immediately sounded inside, making Zhou Quan heave a sigh of relief.
"Shaq, let's join forces and I'll make the ball for you in tonight's game." He went in and said directly.
O'Neal's eyes lit up. Because he is a rookie, and the All-Stars are in exhibition games, they all need to perform. He is a little worried about not being able to catch the ball when he goes on the court. If Iron Fist is willing to give him the ball, that would be the best.
"OK." He nodded quickly.
"After you grab the rebound, give it to me too, do you understand?" Zhou Quan warned.
"Of course." O'Neill said.
After talking to O'Neal, he went to find someone else.
Of course he was looking for someone from the Eastern Conference, which made him relieved again. Only Pippen, Ewing and Larry Johnson were not there, and everyone else was there.
But from the words of these people, he knew that Jordan not only found the three Pippens, but also several Western Conference All-Stars, such as Barkley.
"What does this guy want to do? Let the people from the Western Conference deliberately target me on the court and strengthen my defense?"
He could only speculate like this and had no other reason.
At six o'clock, after dinner, all the All-Stars left the hotel and arrived at the Delta Arena, the home of the Utah Jazz.
After the twelve Eastern Conference All-Stars entered the locker room, they closed the door. The locker room was their own world.
"It would be nice if I could go in and take some pictures." Sun Zhenping said regretfully.
He was full of curiosity about the locker room. There was a sense of mystery in it that attracted him very much.
"If it were in Detroit, there should be a chance, and Xiao Zhou could make the decision. But this is an All-Star. These All-Stars are basically the bosses or core players of each team. Under normal circumstances, the media will not be allowed in."
Zhang Lili had not been in either. He had only entered the locker room of the University of Chicago team. He was also very curious and wanted to go in and have a look.
Zhou Quan's wardrobe is not with Joe Dumars, because the five wardrobes near the door have the best positions and are the five starting All-Stars. Here he is, with O'Neal on the left, Larry Johnson and Joe Dumar on the right. Si is opposite.
The All-Star head coach in the West is Suns head coach Paul Westphal, and in the East is Knicks head coach Pat Riley.
At this time, Pat Riley opened the door and came in. He did not plan any tactics, but with his usual smile on his face, he said: "Gentlemen, it is a great honor for me to coach you."
The players are not fools, and the United States is also a humane society. Many players immediately began to compliment Pat Riley, including Jordan and Zhou Quan.
"Okay, if you are ready, you are ready to appear." After greeting, Riley warned and went out.
At seven o'clock, the Delta Arena was already brightly lit and starry.
"Crack, click, click..."
Liu Hui kept clicking the shutter at those Hollywood stars and NBA stars.
He comes from ATV and was assigned by ATV for the first time to come to the NBA frontline to cover the All-Star game.
Not far away, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping were also at the scene, standing in front of CCTV cameras and talking excitedly.
Zhang Weiping is also very excited. This time he serves as the commentator and host of CCTV. He has truly returned to the domestic basketball world.
At this time, Sun Zhenping introduced enthusiastically: "Friends, audience, friends, we are now in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, the Delta Arena, the home of the NBA Jazz, which is also the scene of the NBA All-Stars... Wait a moment, In a little while, our country's basketball player Zhou Quan will play in the game, and he is the starting All-Star."
At this moment, it was the 22nd in China, which happened to be Saturday morning, and Zhou Quan’s family was already sitting in front of the TV.
This is the first time for my family to watch Zhou Quan's game, and they are all excited and looking forward to it.
Zhou Quan called his family a few days ago and told them that there would be a live broadcast today and that he had been waiting for several days to see him on TV.
"Big brother is going to appear, he is going to appear. Mom, mom, do you hear, big brother is going to appear." Hearing Sun Zhenping's words, Zhou Ye kept shouting happily.
"I heard it, I heard it." Lin Yufen smiled.
"Yufen, you have talked to me several times in this city. You want to exchange the US dollars in Xiaoquan's hand. How do you think I can talk to Xiaoquan?" Zhou Jianguo said with a frown.
"Lao Zhou, let Xiao Quan make the decision. It's all the money he earned hard outside. Let's not make random decisions." Lin Yufen said quickly.
"I know, isn't this asking you?" Zhou Jianguo said.
"We'll talk about it after my son comes back in a few months," Lin Yufen said.
Zhou Jianguo nodded and didn't mention it again.
Lin Yufen suddenly said: "Lao Zhou, we have a new house that is almost ready. Let's move there when the time comes. There are too many people borrowing money from us in the yard during this time.
You can borrow it if you don't see them paying it back. It's all Xiaoquan's hard-earned money, and I have to guard it for him. Don't borrow it, it won't save your face, and you'll offend a lot of people. "
Zhou Jianguo also nodded and said: "If you move, just move. If you don't move, wait a few months for Xiao Quan to come back. He will still have to squeeze into a room with Xiao Jun and Xiao Ye, so he will definitely have to move."
Let me tell you, Yufen, there are many people looking for me at work, and now the city is also looking for me. I even want to leave my job and go to work. Didn't Xiao Quan say last time that he wanted me to open a 4S store? "
"You don't want a unit anymore?"
Lin Yufen was hesitant now. She didn't have a job. The family could only rely on the man's job to allow their eldest son to study abroad. The job was very lucrative. It would be a pity not to do it, and she couldn't bear to do it.
"It's not that I want to quit my job, it's that I'm taking a leave of absence without pay and starting a business overseas. This is very popular now," Zhou Jianguo explained.
"Lao Zhou, it won't take more than a few months. Let's wait until Xiaoquan comes back, right?" Lin Yufen said.
"That's okay." Zhou Jianguo nodded.
At the Delta Arena, at the call of the host, the All-Stars began to appear.
Under the dynamic DJ music and under the call of the host, all stars appeared one by one.
When Zhou Quan appeared on the stage, he danced to the rhythm of the music, which is break dancing in hip-hop. It is a form of hip-hop culture and is very popular in New York and California. He danced it when he was at UCLA.
"Pa bang..."
His steps were very good. They were swing steps among the three steps. They were very rhythmic and received warm applause.
"Is he Zhou Quan from the mainland?"
Liu Hui was very surprised. He seemed to be very popular. No wonder the American media has been reporting news about him these days.
"Kacha kacha..." He raised his camera and started taking pictures of Zhou Quan.
O'Neal, who came out behind Zhou Quan, was stunned at the sight, Iron Fist, why are you stealing my moves? Do you still want to cooperate with me?
But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump.
"Damn shark, why are you imitating me?"
Zhou Quan also saw the opportunity, reacted very quickly, and immediately went over to dance.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
As a result, the two people formed a real dance battle, one big and one small, which created a particularly good contrast effect. The applause from the center of Delta State became more and more enthusiastic, and unexpectedly received a full house of applause.
Zhou Quan is happy now, and so is O'Neal.
"Come out, come out, I see big brother."
At Zhou Quan's house, Zhou Ye suddenly burst into laughter. She was afraid that her parents could not see clearly, so she ran to the TV and pointed at Zhou Quan and shouted.
"Oh, no, my brother is not sick, right? Why is he shaking?" Zhou Jun also ran up and was startled when he saw Zhou Quan's dancing movements.
"ah?"
Lin Yufen was startled and quickly stood up and passed over.
Zhou Jianjun also followed and took a look, and said to Zhou Jun angrily: "Isn't this break dancing? It is very popular now. You kid is uneducated and has no skills. You can't even follow half of your brother."
"..."
Zhou Jun is speechless, I am ignorant and incompetent, the second child is not a human being, the pressure is so great!
…
"Come on, Xiao Zhou, say a few words to the fans across the country."
At the Delta State Center Arena, after Zhou Quan came on the stage, he was immediately called over by Zhang Lili.
Zhou Quan was a little excited. This was a live broadcast. He quickly smiled at the camera and said: "Hey, hello, I am Zhou Quan, from Changsha. I am over 21 years old and unmarried..."
"Ha ha……"
Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping laughed beside them.
After staying here for about a minute, Zhou Quan went over to say hello to some of the stars he knew.
He had many fights in the league, but he was not an enemy of everyone. Basically, he fought with some villains and people with bad tempers. He didn't get along with more players. Although he didn't have much contact with him, it was still a nod. Of course you have to say hello when you see someone.
"Hey, Iron Fist."
Seeing Zhou Quan coming, Roberts smiled and greeted him first.
"Hey, Julia." Zhou Quan greeted hurriedly.
"Christina Yerry, the great French beauty, she is single, now is the window period!" Roberts introduced to Zhou Quan the white beauty with wavy and long black hair next to him.
"That's great!" Zhou Quan immediately praised.
Christina Yeri couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Quan. That charming look immediately attracted Zhou Quan, making him feel that the whole world was brightening.
"Hello, Miss Yeri, nice to meet you." He politely extended his right hand.
"Hello, Iron Fist, you can call me, Christina." The French beauty smiled.
"Julia is right, Christina, your suitors should be able to line up from France to the United States, right? If you don't refuse, I hope to join their ranks." Zhou Quan teased with a smile.
Christina Yeri pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly. This expression was obvious. She did not refuse and was very happy now.
In fact, just now, Jordan and Pippen came to chat with her, but she didn't like black people because they were too dark.
Iron Fist, on the other hand, was polite and gave her a strong sense of security. Most importantly, he was very handsome, and his dance battle just now was also very good.
"That guy, he fell in love with a beautiful woman again?"
"Another white beauty star?"
"God, I love her. Cristina Yeri, a Brazilian-born French beauty, was at her most beautiful when she was 27 years old. Why did she fall into the clutches of Iron Fist again?"
Not far away, the eyes of a group of perverts such as Pippen and Jordan were already red, and they wished they could replace them with their own bodies. Unfortunately, when they went over to say hello just now, neither Roberts nor Yeli paid them any attention. The way it looks.
At this time, after the host made his opening remarks, he invited David Stern to come up.
Mr. President delivered an All-Star speech, and then took photos with media reporters along with all the All-Stars.
At eight o'clock, the Eastern and Western All-Stars took the field and the game officially began.
Eastern Conference starters: O'Neal, Larry Johnson, Pippen, Jordan, Zhou Quan
West starting lineup: David Robinson, Karl Malone, Barkley, Drexler, John Stockton
O'Neal and David Robinson jumped the ball, and the East attacked.
Zhou Quan received the ball, and John Stockton immediately got close to him and stood in front of him to prevent him from advancing. At this time, Barkley and Karl Malone pounced on him at the same time.
The All-Star Game will be broadcast live around the world on ESPN, with commentators Rock Howard and Larry Winston.
Howard said in surprise: "Are you going to play press at the beginning?"
Winston said excitedly: "There's something good to watch tonight."
On the sidelines, Zhang Lili said in surprise: "Is it true that we just started playing at the beginning?"
But he immediately realized that with the relationship between people like Jordan and Pippen, he was probably just playing it real at the beginning.
They are teammates with Zhou Quan, but they can target Zhou Quan through Barkley and Karl Malone, which should be like this.
When he thought of this, as a fan of Jordan, he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with him.
On the court, Jordan, Pippen, and Larry Johnson all extended their hands to Zhou Quan, preparing to catch the ball.
They discussed that on the offensive end, Barkley and the others would double-team the ball, so that they could control the ball and not delay the Eastern Conference's offense.
On the defensive end, Barkley and the others also took action, switching positions and staring at Zhou Quan, using the big one to defeat the small one, and beat that bastard.
However, how could Zhou Quan pass it to Jordan and the others?
Riding a double team before he was fully upper body, with a shake of his hand, the ball flew between Jordan and Pippen, passed to O'Neal who had already reached the top of the key, and then bypassed John Stockton and ran across the center line, ready to Get the ball again.
But O'Neal is a point guard, and his ball-handling skills are not bad. After he caught the ball, he turned around with a nimble shark and jumped out of David Robinson behind him. He reached the basket in three steps and dunked with a bang. The basket frame sank suddenly.
"Oh ho!"
The fans in the audience suddenly burst into joy.
"Dear viewers, this dunking star is called Shaquille O'Neal. He was last year's No. 1 pick. He and Zhou Quan are very close friends."
Looking at the camera, Zhang Lili happily introduced.
At this time, the Western Conference All-Stars served from the baseline.
John Stockton ran around, finally got rid of Zhou Quan, and reached for the ball three steps away from the baseline on the left wing.
Zhou Quan seemed to have given up on the press and stopped a step to the left of John Stockton. His left shoulder was facing Barkley, who was preparing to serve in the bottom corner, but his eyes suddenly looked towards the audience seat opposite, as if he was distracted.
But in fact, out of the corner of his left eye, he saw Buckley's movements clearly. But his appearance made both Buckley and John Stockton think that he was distracted, and then... …
"Snapped!"
Barkley passed the ball, and Zhou Quan instantly stepped up to grab it, stretched out his right arm, intercepted the ball before John Stockton, and then rushed towards the basket.
"Damn it!"
Barkley and John Stockton were startled and rushed over quickly, but where was it too late?
Zhou Quan dribbled the ball once, and after two steps, he entered the paint area from the left waist. He raised the ball high with his right hand as if holding a sharp axe, then took off with all his strength, and began to work in the air. He turned 360 degrees in the air, with his right arm Holding the ball in a big loop, the moment the body fell, the loop ended, and he slashed down with an axe.
"boom!"
The basket trembled violently, and the sound of the basket exploding was very loud.
"Oh ho!"
Although Zhou Quan and the postman are also mortal enemies, this is an All-Star, and this dunk is indeed beautiful and explosive, so the fans are still very enthusiastic, just like when Zhou Quan came on the stage, they gave a very warm applause.
"Iron Fist, you did a great job!" O'Neal rushed back and shouted excitedly.
Zhou Quan laughed and celebrated with O'Neal, while Pippen and the other three stood far away, with no intention of coming over.
Jordan glared at Barkley and John Stockton, cursing secretly in his mind that they were all trash, and serving could allow him to seize the opportunity?
Mistakes, mistakes, Barkley and Stockton talked endlessly.
…
