"Not Pippen, Mr. Dawson, except Pippen and Michael, everyone else can."
"No, the others are worthless."
"Ron Harper can give it to you too."
"He is not as good as one of Dameng's legs."
While the media hype was going on, Jerry Krause was having a televised chat with Carol Dawson, and nothing was going on for the time being.
At this time, at 10 a.m., the boxing promotion team composed of Roger Philippe, Bob Arum, and Lou Duva held a grand press conference in Los Angeles to announce the fight between Zhou Quan and Holly. News about Field's WBC world heavyweight title defense.
Zhou Quan revealed a little information after the finals, and the relevant news was already flying all over the place. After the official news was announced, it immediately made the front pages of major media. The popularity was so high that it not only suppressed the news of the NBA championship, but also Suppressed the news about Big Dream.
Zhou Quan had turned off the cell phone that the media knew about, and around 11 o'clock, he, Zeng Li, and Zhou Jun arrived in Los Angeles.
Originally there were many commercial activities, but his time this offseason was too tight, so he turned them down in advance, and his sponsors were very understanding.
Phillip and Hughes Swellton came to pick him up, and Zhou Quan made a special appointment with Swales to talk to him about weight gain.
Phillip nodded and didn't ask any more questions. This was not his specialty.
Two kilograms of lower limb muscles are enough, focusing on the small muscle groups around the knee joints and ankle joints. They can protect the joints well and increase the support strength of the lower limbs. "
"Okay." Dad Zeng nodded.
"These small muscle groups are difficult to reach with general exercises and require some specialized equipment," Swelton said.
Liu Yumin smiled and said: "I am also worried about your physical fitness, just afraid that you will be injured. You are now the treasure of the country, the person named at the top to be protected.
In fact, he ignored that after the disintegration of the old Soviet Union, China's international situation has been very difficult in the past few years. Last year, he won the WBC world heavyweight boxing title, a world-renowned achievement, and became a nation in the country. The heroic figure has not come back this year, and everyone's emotions have been building up for a year.
Zhou Quan said a few polite words, introduced Zeng Li and Zhou Jun, and then chatted with Liu Yumin about the current situation of the men's basketball team.
Zhou Quan nodded with satisfaction.
"Zhou Quan, here, here."
Zhou Quan didn't expect there to be so many people and was startled. Fortunately, he made preparations at the airport and arranged a lot of security and staff to maintain order.
He said you're welcome, we can't live in a villa and you can still live in a tube building, right? One day he comes again and he still doesn't even have a place to live. Also, my dad is old and still lives in a dormitory. "
Swelton nodded and said: "It can be distributed in this way, adding three kilograms of core muscles and neck muscles, and two kilograms of lower limb muscles.
…
"Haha..." Dad Zeng was an honest man and laughed honestly.
Swelton said: “For point guards, increased weight will increase the bearing capacity and consumption of lower limb joints, and the chance of injury will definitely increase.
"real?"
The next day, on the morning of the 18th, Zeng Yu went to school, Zeng Li and her mother came to a breakfast shop, and Zhou Quan and Zeng's father also appeared in the shop.
"We came at half past twelve and couldn't get in at all."
Zhou Quan analyzed: "Now that both Gilliam and Esqiu have entered the free market, these two people can free up nearly 4 million US dollars in space. At least one inside line and one outside line must be strengthened. I will call the glider Give me a call and ask him to come over."
"Xiaoyu, let go of your sister quickly."
"No, I'll go directly to UCLA to get the invitation letter. There's no need for an interview. However, Xiaoyu needs to practice her English well to avoid not being able to understand the class." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
The two still exchanged some polite words, and with Zhou Quan's insistence, they no longer objected.
Seeing Zhou Quan nod, Liu Yumin felt relieved.
Before getting on the plane, Zhou Quan called Drexler and explained his intention. The glider seemed very happy.
I saw my sister when I went home last year. I haven’t seen her for a year. Zeng Li was also very excited and hugged Zeng Yu when she came up.
The car drove directly to Zeng Li's home, which was a family courtyard of a work unit. Zeng Mu and Zeng Yu were waiting outside, Zeng's father was also there, and there were many onlookers.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Zhou Quan smiled and went up to say hello.
"Maybe Barkley wants to leave too." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Iron Fist, there are still a lot of people outside the airport. Leave quickly. They won't disperse until you leave." A sweaty security guard said to him.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will treat Xiao Li well." Zhou Quan promised.
"Okay, I'll treat you next time you check in." Zhou Quan said.
After Zeng's mother pulled away her little daughter, she looked at Zeng Li, wiped her tears, and said, "Xiao Li, you are going to the United States alone and you are not married. I am still a little worried, but looking at your appearance now, I can tell Come out, Zhou Quan treats you very well, and I feel relieved."
Zeng Yu felt a huge surprise and looked at Zeng Li with wide eyes.
"That's fine. I have something to do, and I'm not bored at all." Zeng's mother said with a smile.
"I'm almost 17 years old. I'm in my third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination soon." Zeng Yu said with a smile.
Liu Yumin said that the men's basketball team has been training for a long time and has played seven warm-up games. Now it's time for him to practice together.
Among countless athletes across the country, Zhou Quan is the only one who has this treatment. Why, because he is the only one who has this qualification.
Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "Jordan and Dream join forces. If Pippen can still stay in the Bulls, no matter how bad the other positions are and how bad the substitute lineup is, it will still be much better than the Mosaic Big Three lineup, then we may not be able to beat it." Bullshit."
"Don't worry, sister, don't you know, I'm a top student." Zeng Yu said excitedly.
"Hello, brother-in-law, I am Zeng Yu, Zeng Li's Zeng, raining rain." Zeng Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Quan thought about it for a moment, nodded in agreement, and asked Swelton to develop a strength training plan for him to implement next season.
A few people sat down at the airport restaurant. After ordering, Zhou Quan talked about weight gain and injuries.
"Xiao Yu! Dad, Mom."
"Really? Sis?"
Zhou Quan rented a car in Wuhan City, which was safer. After all the trouble, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived in the city.
After finally walking out of the lobby, as the security guard said, there were still many people waiting for him outside, and it took him a lot of effort to leave.
"How can I treat you when you are here? Our CBA has been running for one season. Although we haven't made any money yet, we still have enough money to have a dinner together." Liu Yumin said with a smile.
"Director Liu is concerned about you." Zhou Jianguo said.
Philip added: "But I think it will be difficult for Dream to go to the Bulls. Mosaic will not let him go easily. It will be difficult to reach a deal."
"sister?"
I got off the plane in Wuhan City at 2 noon, and then took a bus back to JZ City, which is more than 200 kilometers away, at the long-distance bus station.
A large number of domestic and foreign media were already waiting at the airport, as well as a large number of fans, at least several hundred. They were surrounded as soon as they came out, and the exit was blocked.
At this time, all the people watching the excitement gathered around. They dealt with it for a while, and then entered the yard.
"Okay, that's it."
Zeng Li said again: "By the way, Dad, Mom, Zhou Quan gave me a sum of money and said he would buy a commercial house for each of you.
On a June day, Zhou Jianguo and Liu Yumin were also sweating profusely, feeling hot and anxious.
When you compete abroad, whether it's in the NBA or professional boxing, it plays a very important role in promoting our country. I don't dare to hurt you. "
"We're getting married in a few days, why should we be ashamed?" Zeng's mother glanced at Zhou Quan and joked with a smile.
During joint training, you just use running tactics to guide your teammates on how to cooperate with you. Gong Lumin and Coach Jiang have already discussed that the joint training will not be very intense and focus on restoring your physical fitness. "
"Of course, it's not for boxing. I can even lose weight to 90 kilograms, so that I can be faster and more flexible." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"But Hughes, my purpose of gaining weight is boxing. What I need to increase is my strength and resistance to fighting." Zhou Quan said.
"Hello everyone, everyone, this is really not the place to talk. You see, the people behind me are all blocked. If there is something urgent, it will be troublesome. Can you please help me and give me some space? Don't worry, I will come back this time. Even those who are participating in the Olympics will still have the opportunity to meet."
Zhou Jianguo said while driving: "Xiaoquan, after you play in the Olympics, you have to defend your title again. Can your body handle it?"
He immediately said a few words briefly, and then separated the fans with the security personnel, allowing those behind to leave first, and he left last.
"Why is Liu Chu here too?" Zhou Quan said politely.
But we can continue to increase the muscles of the lower limbs to counteract the increased pressure to reduce injuries. "
At two o'clock at noon on the 16th, the flight arrived in the capital.
Zhou Quan really didn't pay attention. He got on the plane early in the morning and just got off the plane. How could he know?
"Da Meng asked for a trade, and we are probably negotiating now. I guess it will be difficult for the trade to succeed. The Bulls simply don't have the right chips," Philip said.
"OK." Zhou Quan said.
"Liu Chu, there is still a month left. I will get married on the 20th and will report to the team around the 25th. What do you think?" Zhou Quan said.
"The glider is not in good condition. If he comes here, it would be best to be a substitute. Among the substitutes, he is much better than Aisi Qiu." Phillip nodded.
"Zhou, have you noticed the news that Dameng is going to the Bulls?" Philip said.
"Whoever comes on the bench depends on their strength." Zhou Quan shook his head.
Liu Yumin shook his head and said: "I know you are very tired now, so you should rest for a few more days and just report back at the end of the month. We will leave Beijing on the 14th and there is still half a month of joint training time.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
When Zeng Yu saw Zeng Li getting out of the car, he felt like he didn't recognize him. He was so foreign. If he hadn't seen him on TV, he wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
At one o'clock at noon, with Philip seeing them off, the three boarded the flight to the capital.
The next morning, Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Jun returned directly to Changsha. Zhou Quan first accompanied Zeng Li to Jingzhou to meet Zeng Li's parents.
"Dad, Mom, I now have my own company in the United States. Husband, no, it's Zhou Quan..." Zeng Li spilled the beans and blushed.
Zeng Li said awkwardly: "He helped me open the coffee shop with money. Now it has a branch. When I get back, I plan to open a branch in Los Angeles and partner with a big Hollywood star.
During dinner, he received a share of the money from his national team teammates. Because they were preparing for the Olympics, these national team members would not go to Changsha to attend his wedding.
When he was on the plane, Zeng Li took off all the jewelry on his body. Nowadays, car gangsters and road bullies in China are quite serious.
Zhou Quan is the only athlete in China who was not trained by the domestic system, but has earned great honors for the country and the nation. He is also very influential in the world. He is the only Chinese who was personally invited by the President of the United States to visit the White House. He is currently the only Chinese overseas The most famous person in China, and a serious Chinese.
"Liu Chu, please contact me. I'll invite the men's and women's basketball teams to have dinner together tonight." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Hello Xiaoyu, what high school are you in?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.
"Zhou Quan, do you want to gain weight? For boxing?" Philip asked.
"Oh, college entrance examination, okay, then come on. If you do well, let your sister take you to study in the United States." Zhou Quan encouraged.
Zeng Li glanced at Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan nodded. She also became happy and said to Zeng Yu: "Then you take the exam well. If your grades are too bad, you will only be able to study in those pheasant universities. You might as well stay in China. "
"Xiao Zhou, I need to trouble you to take care of Xiao Li." Zeng's mother said politely.
"The mosaic will definitely collapse. Even if Dream is forced to stay, this team will collapse. But Alexander's purpose is to make money. Barkley and Dream will probably leave one to help him sell tickets." Philip joked.
Philip nodded and said: "I will contact Mr. Whitsitt. I hope he can find a good center."
"It's okay, my physical fitness is okay. Didn't Liu Chugang say this? There will be no physical training after joining the team." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Then we still need to take the TOEFL test?" Zeng Li asked.
"Okay..." Dad Zeng said with an honest smile.
"Just talk to me about this." Phillip smiled.
When they got into the car, Zhou Quan and the other three were already sweating profusely.
Zeng Li said: "Dad, you and he find a hotel to stay for one night tonight. We still have things to discuss with you tomorrow. You and my mother have to send me to Changsha the day after tomorrow."
"Mom, he is very good to me. You and my dad can rest assured." Zeng Li glanced at Zhou Quan and said with a smile.
When I return to China this time, I plan to open a store in the capital. Zhou Quan’s father has already checked the market for me and said it is feasible. People in the capital also like to drink foreign coffee. "
Zeng's father and mother looked at Zhou Quan, but before they could say anything, Zhou Quan said first, "Uncle and aunt, the house doesn't cost much, so don't be polite. We are all one family."
The three of them came to the parking lot surrounded by a large number of fans. They saw Zhou Jianguo and Liu Yumin waving and shouting there, and they quickly squeezed past.
Zhou Quan stayed one more night in Jingzhou. On Saturday, the 19th, he took Zeng Li and his family to Changsha, accompanied by some relatives of the Zeng family.
He originally bought four houses in the city, all of which were renovated, and arranged Zeng Li's family to live in one of them. Although Zeng's father and Zeng Mu had been divorced for many years, they could only live together temporarily.
He will come here to pick up his relatives tomorrow, and other relatives of the Zeng family have arranged to stay in a nearby hotel.
His uncle's family from his hometown happened to arrive today, as well as two uncles from his hometown. There were more than thirty people in total, big and small. Zhou Jianguo specially arranged a car to pick them up from his hometown.
