On the 22nd, Zhou Quan went to the airport to see off Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping.
The last time he was selected for the national team, he was on the news network for several minutes. With this All-Star event, he has gained a certain degree of popularity in the country. Sun Zhenping told him that when the All-Star broadcast was broadcast this time, the fans responded very enthusiastically. The hotline was flooded with questions about him.
At noon, he invited Roberts and Christina Yeri to lunch, and then after sending them to the plane, he also got on the plane back to Detroit.
After the plane took off, he was a little bored and suddenly thought of the system. He hadn't watched the full star performance last night. He wondered if getting the first MVP trophy in his life would be a reward?
Thinking of this, he quickly opened the system and took a look. Haha, there was a new prompt, "Congratulations to the host for winning the All-Star AMVP for the first time. Reward physical fitness +1."
"What an unexpected surprise!"
Physical fitness +1 is also top-notch. Level 94 is close to the top level, which is considered good.
He has also been doing physical training during the offseason. After the start of the season, he reduced some of the physical training. He has not been able to upgrade since level 93. According to Swelton, this is due to limited physical fitness. Now the system is helping. Moving up a level can be regarded as raising his ceiling.
Physical fitness can be improved through training, but there is a ceiling. If you try to forcibly improve your physical fitness through more cruel training, there will only be one result, and that is to injure your body and make a profit. The physical fitness of Zhang Erwan and Jordan is quite extraordinary. Rarely, not everyone can become a physical monster.
The All-Star Game is over and the regular season continues.
The Pistons then had five home games, first beating the Digital Team, then losing to the Knicks, and unexpectedly losing to the Bucks in their third home game, thus ending the February schedule.
35 wins and 18 losses, a winning rate of 66%. Even with one more game, they have half a game more wins than the Cavaliers and are still third in the Eastern Conference.
On March 1, the league announced its Player of the Month for February.
It is not modest to say that his performance this season is very good. He has joined the 20+10 club and has a first-class offensive and defensive integration. He has offensive and defensive rebounding organization. Although his offensive efficiency is not a big advantage and has not reached 50%, but in The No. 1 position is not bad, and the data is not impressive. With the record as a guarantee, he is qualified to compete for this honor.
Therefore, he has been looking forward to receiving the honor of Player of the Month. Unfortunately, he did not get it in the first three months. It was taken away by Jordan, Barkley, and Olajuwon.
After getting up at 8 o'clock in the morning, he turned on the TV, switched to the ABC TV channel, and then made breakfast. At 8:30, breakfast was ready and NBA news started.
Two minutes later, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe that this month's Player of the Month was actually him?
"Ha ha!"
He quickly opened the system to see if there were any rewards.
"Congratulations to the host for winning the title of Player of the Month for the first time, with +1 skill point."
It's not bad to get a skill point, it's better than nothing, but the system points out the first time again. Does this mean that there will be no reward for getting this kind of honor next time?
Skill points can only be added to shooting skills and breakthrough skills, and the quality must be up to standard, otherwise it will not be added.
He immediately opened his profile and looked at it. Some of his shooting and breakthrough skills had a + sign behind them.
There is only one skill point, and he wants to add it to the breakthrough. There are six breakthrough techniques. There is no + number for the crushing breakthrough at level 95, and there is no acceleration and step-over at level 92, but there are others.
After careful consideration, he added the breakthrough technique of feinting and turning around, raising it to level 91.
At this time, the league announced the latest MVP ranking list, and he was still in fifth place.
That night, the Pistons defeated the Green Team and won their 36th victory.
On the 2nd, the Jazz arrived in Detroit.
There is no competition between the two teams, but Zhou Quan and Karl Malone have become mortal enemies.
The local media in the past two days also mocked the postman, saying that he did not have the courage to challenge Iron Fist in the ring, which made him very angry.
"I said many times, I will get the license." After arriving at the hotel, he angrily roared in an interview with local media.
"Don't let Iron Fist wait until he is eighty, okay?" a local reporter shouted loudly.
"Haha..." Some reporters broke their waists laughing.
"You Detroit bastards!"
The postman was shaking with anger, turned around, pushed past the reporters and entered the hotel.
On the 3rd, the Pistons defeated the menacing Jazz at home.
Zhou Quan once again defeated Stockton, giving his opponent 4 steals and 1 block, which reflected his restraint against the five-time assist king. He sent 17 assists in the game, breaking his own record. With a record of 16 assists in a single game during the regular season, the opponent only received 7 assists and made as many as 6 turnovers.
Rodman performed well in this game and grabbed 22 rebounds, which was a key factor in the Pistons' win.
On the 4th, Zhou Quan completed the last two rounds of turnaround and step-back jumper training and was promoted to level 92.
Next, he is going to stop these personal trainings. There is only more than a month left in the regular season, and he has to prepare for the playoffs.
On the 5th, the Pistons played away from the Bucks. Rodman was injured again and had to miss at least one game. This was his third injury this season.
In view of the last Eastern Conference Finals and three injuries this season, Troy Weaver was a little dissatisfied with Rodman, thinking that he was old and in poor health. He talked to Zhou Quan again, hoping that Zhou Quan would agree to trade Rodman. Man.
However, Zhou Quan's attitude was very firm. Not only did he not agree to trade Da Chong, he also hoped that Da Chong could complete the contract extension with the Pistons, which disappointed Weaver.
After losing Rodman, the Pistons defeated the Green Team on the road, and then returned to face the Lakers at home, but unexpectedly lost.
There were no games for the next three days, so Zhou Quan took leave and flew to Los Angeles to date Christina Yeri. He didn't want to miss this beautiful girl's window period, let alone her most beautiful flowering period.
Arriving in Los Angeles at noon, the beautiful woman picked her up. They had lunch together and he taught her golf for three hours in the afternoon.
Starting with golf swing lessons, step-by-step instruction, and close contact from time to time, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds.
But French Rose was not that easy to chase. It took him two days to finally conquer the fortress, score a home run, and gain the second celebrity girlfriend in his life.
Starting from this day, he announced the end of the nine-month window.
On March 11, they will face the Nuggets at home.
Chuck Daly put substitute inside man Alden Polynice into the starting lineup and achieved miraculous results. With Zhou Quan's assist, Polynice scored 20 points in 35 minutes, shooting 66.6% from the field. The three Pistons scored 20+ points, defeated Mutombo's Nuggets, and won their 40th victory of the season.
With 40 wins and 19 losses, a winning rate of 67.8%, surpassing the Bulls, the Pistons rushed to the second place in the Eastern Conference.
On the 12th, the Bulls arrived in Detroit.
The Pistons and Bulls have four regular season games this season, and this is the second.
Jordan had a bad touch in the last game, which caused the Bulls to lose, and Zhou Quan was upstaged by Zhou Quan because of the All-Star. He came to this game with confidence that he would win.
After arriving at the hotel, the Bulls held a press conference.
A local reporter asked: "Flying Man, I heard that you want to apply for a boxing license? I think Iron Fist must hope that you can stand in his boxing ring. It just so happens that Tyson is coming out soon, and you can also have a showdown with him. "
"Ha ha……"
Many local reporters couldn't help but laugh.
Jordan said angrily: "I'm not interested in boxing. That's what rough guys do."
"But I heard that you once made an appointment with him to play baseball, but why didn't you follow up?" the reporter asked again.
Jordan felt a little hot on his face. The last time Iron Fist faced the Dodgers' main pitcher Ainge's home run, he knew that his baseball level might be a little different from Iron Fist. How could he still be interested in competing with that guy?
Although his desire to win is super strong, he only wants to compete with those who are inferior to him, but he does not want to be abused in other people's fields.
Seeing Jordan pretending to be deaf, the reporter asked again: "Flying Man, Iron Fist has made it clear that he will play professional golf in the offseason. Why don't you compete with him again? Are you going to give up so easily?"
Lose, this word irritated Jordan. He stared at the reporter with red eyes and said with emphasis: "Tomorrow night I will let you know who loses and who wins."
"But you lost the last game, to us at home. Don't say you didn't want to win that game. You won't even believe it." The reporter sarcastically said.
"Haha..." the local reporters laughed.
"..."
Jordan was furious and stared at the reporter with sharp eyes, wishing he could just kill him with his eyes.
On the night of the 3rd, the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Bulls: Bill Cartwright, Horace Grant, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, BJ Armstrong
Pistons: Ronny Seikaly, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumars, Zhou Quan
At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.
This game is also one of the Pistons' few live broadcasts in the United States, and is broadcast live by ABC TV.
Bill Walton said: "The Bulls' average points conceded this season is 98.9 points per game, second in the Eastern Conference and second in the league. Last season it was 99.5 points. In other words, the Bulls' defense is stronger."
Lewis Williams continued: "But it's not the Bulls that are better defensively, but the Knicks. Coach Pat Riley is really great. He created a gorgeous style of play in the Lakers, and then built an iron-blooded defense in the Knicks. The average points allowed is only 95.4 points, which is lower than the points allowed by the Pistons last season, and the defense currently ranks first in the league."
Bill Walton nodded and said: "The Pistons averaged 96.9 points per game last season, which was the lowest in the league. This season, without John Salley and with the addition of Sekali, the interior defense has declined, averaging 102.1 points per game, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference. . From a defensive point of view, the Pistons will suffer some disadvantages against the Bulls."
Williams smiled and said: "The reason why the Bulls' defense is strong is because they have two top defensive players, Pippen and Jordan, and Grant's defense is also very strong. In addition, Cartwright is very tough at the basket, and BJ is defensive." Duan also works very hard.
But what really makes the Bulls' defense stronger this season is that the rapid rotation defensive system created by Phil Jackson has become more mature, so the overall defense is stronger than last season.
As for the Pistons, Sekali is too soft at the basket, and Ulrich is average defensively. Therefore, even though they have three major defensive players, Rodman, Joe Dumars, and Iron Fist, it is difficult to play the top defense.
Especially when encountering powerful inside players and small forwards, they will suffer, and the Bulls have Pippen at the third position. "
Bill Walton smiled and asked: "Lewis, which combination do you think is better defensively, Jordan or Pippen, Iron Fist or Joe Dumars?"
Williams laughed: "There is no doubt that it is the combination of Jordan and Pippen."
He continued: "Just from the height point of view, they have an advantage. Jordan and Pippen can defend the inside, but Iron Fist can't, and neither can Joe Dumars. This is a disadvantage when switching defenses."
Bill Walton said: "The Pistons are currently 40 wins and 19 losses, with a winning rate of 67.8%, and the Bulls are 41 wins and 20 losses, with a winning rate of 67.2%. If the Pistons lose, the winning rate will be 66.6%, and if the Bulls win, the winning rate will be 67.74%. Back to second place in the Eastern Conference.”
At half past eight, the game officially started.
Jump ball, Bulls attack.
Zhou Quan defends BJ and has the advantages of height and tonnage.
BJ is 185 centimeters tall naked and weighs 79 kilograms. Although the tonnage is 11 kilograms lighter, due to his limited talent, his movement speed is not faster than Zhou Quan's, but he is more agile.
It was just a regular season game, and Zhou Quan did not intend to press the whole game. After putting BJ in the frontcourt, he started to press.
However, BJ is self-aware. His task is to dribble the ball across the midline and then hand it to Pippen or Jordan, trying not to create a confrontation with Zhou Quan.
One step inside the three-point line on the left wing, Pippen caught the ball, singled out Ulrich, turned around, broke through with the ball, and drove to the left midfielder, forcing Sekali to cover up.
At this time, Cartwright moved toward the basket, and at the same time, Jordan cut inside without the ball on the weak side against the baseline.
Because Grant pulled to the right wing, Rodman followed to the right midfielder, and there was no one under the basket. Now as Jordan cuts inside, Joe Dumar and Rodman immediately switch defenses. Joe Dumars moves to Grant, and Rodman moves to Basket movement.
At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan retreated to the free throw line.
Pippen suddenly stopped in front of his left waist, threw the ball with both hands, and passed the ball to Jordan. Jordan caught the ball and took off, grabbing the ball with his right hand and flying towards the basket, ready to dunk.
At this moment, Rodman jumped to the basket and blocked the shot.
The next moment, Jordan's right hand holding the ball suddenly shrank down, dodged Rodman's block, flew under the basket, and flew to the left side of the basket. With the force of his core, he pulled the lever backhand and made a violent shot. buckle.
"Get out!"
Zhou Quan, who had already rushed to the front of the basket, shouted in his heart, waved his hand, and hit the ball with great accuracy, and the basketball was instantly blown away.
"Oh ho!"
The Palace of Auburn Hills cheered instantly.
"Oh yeah! Iron fist big hat flyer, the ball was pulled out of the baseline, haha, great job!" The bearded John Lowes, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.
The bespectacled man Longger Lance smiled and said: "He escaped Dennis, but he couldn't escape the iron fist, so the flying man had better not do any tricks under our basket. If he used a throw just now, he should be able to hit the big insect." Hit in the head."
"Shet!"
Being blocked by Zhou Quan, Jordan gritted his teeth in anger, chewed gum quickly, and the sharp light in his eyes flashed like a knife.
But Zhou Quan did not let him go and blocked the shot on Jordan's head. He was also very excited and immediately trash-talked: "Flyer, it must feel great to be blocked by me, right? Can you talk about your feelings?"
"Iron Fist, just recall how you felt when I slapped you, and then I will help you deepen your memory." Jordan retorted.
"Haha! Come on then." Zhou Quan laughed.
Everyone says not to offend Black Jesus, but he has continued to offend Black Jesus since last season, and nothing happened.
