God of NBA point guards

Chapter 277
On the 11th, he went to the golf course again, before flying to Minneapolis in the afternoon.

After arriving at the hotel and settling in, the league officials arranged for a photo shoot, and all the All-Stars came to a business conference room.

Of the remaining eleven All-Stars in the Western Conference, only Dameng and the postman, Stockton and him have a bad relationship, and the rest are okay and passable.

East, Jordan, Pippen, Sean Kemp, Gary Payton, Ewing, Oakley, John Starks, there are a lot of people who have a bad relationship with him.

When they saw him, Gary Payton and Sean Kemp's nose was not their nose, their eyes were not their eyes, as if they saw the enemy.

"What are you looking at, don't you know me?" He said angrily.

The two snorted coldly, and Gary Payton said angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could we go to the Detroit Pistons?"

"Do you think I was the one who made the deal?"

He couldn't hold back, and scolded: "Two idiots, do you think I'll get an advantage if I don't go to the Lakers and go to the Supersonics?
I have become a bargaining chip, what can you complain about?Are you entitled to complain?Don't show embarrassment in front of me, what right do you have to show embarrassment in front of me?

Do you think being selected as an All-Star will give you strength?If you don't like seeing me, please disappear in front of me, OK? "

Gary Payton and Sean Kemp were humiliated by Zhou Quan's scolding in public, and they were very embarrassed under the eyes of everyone.

Jordan and the others only watched the play from the sidelines, and did not stand up for the two of them.

Jordan doesn't want to stand up for Gary Payton, because this kid doesn't pay attention to trash talking at him, and he talks a lot of dirty words.

The stinky mouth of the glove is not something to be trifled with, and immediately sprayed back: "Why are we disappearing, and why not you?"

"Because you two idiots are ruining the atmosphere here." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Don't talk about it anymore. If you are photographed by the media, it will not be good for you." At this time, a senior official of the alliance came to stop it.

David Stern was at the scene, with a stiff smile on his face. Fortunately, there was no media, so he didn't say anything, and only asked his subordinates to deal with it.

Zhou Quan glanced at the two of them with disdain and said: "With so many people, what happened just now will definitely spread. I bet that even if you want to stay in Detroit, the fans there will not be willing. If you don't want to stay there, It’s better to take the initiative to apply for a transaction.”

"you?"

Gary Payton pissed off.

He and Sean Kemp looked at each other and stayed in Detroit. After all, the Pistons are still a first-tier championship-level team, but if they are traded again, the Pistons will definitely trade them to a bad team to get a high draft pick. They can only struggle on bad teams.

Jordan shook his head slightly, these two idiots are not happy to stay in Detroit, why don't they leave after the contract is over, what's the point of giving Iron Fist a face in public?
But he really wants to get one of these two to the Bulls. After this season, that kid Grant will definitely leave. There is a shortage of people at the [-]th position, and at the [-]st position, although the glove can't handle the Iron Fist, but with He and Pippen should almost be able to lock the Sonics outside.

However, it is still a matter of investment. The management and the boss do not know whether they are willing to trade, because these two people must have a big contract, and the veteran contract is indispensable.

Next, the promotional and commemorative photos were taken. The league arranged for Jordan and Zhou Quan to stand in the middle. This was obviously Stern's arrangement, but no one had any objections.

It's not that they think that the current Zhou Quan has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Jordan, after all, Zhou Quan's current hard honor is far less than that of Jordan.

It's just that Zhou Quan just spat Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, and now they are not qualified to have opinions, otherwise they won't be spat by Zhou Quan?
Of the 24 All-Stars, except for Zhou Quan, Jordan, and Pippen, the remaining 21 people, including Dameng and Ewing, have not won a championship, and the championship and FMVP are the hardest hard honors.

With a core identity of the championship and FMVP, Zhou Quan can suppress them. Of course, they are not qualified to question Zhou Quan's half C position.

Pippen is not qualified to deny Zhou Quan, he is just a second-in-command, the status of the league is not as good as Zhou Quan, and he did not lead the team to win the championship alone.

What's more, he suffered a big loss under Zhou Quan's hands and was slapped in public, how dare he provoke him again?
Jordan's expression was a little stiff. If he had completed three consecutive championships last season, he would not be tied with Iron Fist, but he would occupy the C position exclusively.

For three consecutive seasons, the All-Star votes exceeded one million, but this year it fell below one million. Tekken is only [-] votes away from him. If Tekken cannot win this year, and Tekken wins the championship, Tekken will probably be the top voter for next year's All-Star up.

Now that Iron Fist has snatched half of the C position, it is impossible for him to refuse the alliance's arrangement because he is so arrogant.

The two stretched out a hand each, holding a basketball together, and the other All-Stars lined up on the left, right and behind, like stars arching the moon.

"Crack clap..."

The cameraman snapped.

David Stern's smile is bright, and he is looking forward to this year's playoffs.

Originally, he wanted Jordan to occupy the C position exclusively. Zhou Quan's current qualifications are far from enough, and this has nothing to do with strength and hard honor.

But Zhou Quan's popularity is really high now, mainly because he also wants to continue to create a pattern of competition between Jordan and Zhou Quan, so he let the two share the C position equally.

As for Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, if these two stars want to leave the Pistons, he is also very supportive. The attendance rate of the Pistons this season is still good, reaching an average of 82% per game, but not as good as last season, which was 94%. , and the average ticket price has dropped again, commercial sponsorships are getting less and less, and operations are getting worse.

After dinner, Zhou Quan called O'Neill and a group of all-stars with a decent relationship to play bowling, and then disappeared.

Jordan learned the lesson of last year's All-Stars, and instead of looking for people to gamble with, he found a group of All-Stars and held a party together.

On the 12th, before Jordan got up, his cell phone rang crazily, and it turned out to be agent David Falk.

"What's the matter, David?" he asked in a daze before he woke up.

"Michael, you didn't touch that damn thing, did you?" David Falk asked nervously.

"What do you mean?" Jordan was taken aback.

"Sean Kemp smoked damas at your party last night and then got fucked with two waitresses, three of them in a locker room and some pictures were taken ’ said David Falk.

"Damn it, we didn't invite the media to our party." Jordan woke up as soon as he sat up.

"The waiters, the staff, they are all likely to be bribed by the media. I even suspect that the two waitresses who got together with the rain man are the ones who set the rain man up." David Falk said.

"I'm not going to touch that thing, my father told me not to touch that when I was a child," Jordan said.

"That's good."

David Falk breathed a sigh of relief and suggested: "Michael, don't have any more parties. You are just like Iron Fist. You can play golf with them, or play billiards or something. Don't have any private parties. Public places activities are safer, and even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you.”

"I see." Jordan said.

David Falk said: "Remember, Michael, there are fewer negative news about Tekken these days, and now the media is in a hurry. If you are found by them, you will be in trouble."

"What about last night?"

"That's okay, it has nothing to do with you, I will help you solve it, and the alliance will come forward." David Falk said.

"NBA League All-Star Party Last Night With Michael Jordan, Sean Kemp..." The New York Times.

"The NBA League is full of pornography, gambling and drugs." Los Angeles Daily.

David Stern just wants to scold people at this time. At this time last year, Jordan gathered together to gamble. This year, Yuren sucked up Malaysians and messed around.

Thinking of this, he is really satisfied with Zhou Quan, a model of self-cleaning, fortunately he has him, otherwise it would be really troublesome for all the All-Stars to go to that damn party.

At this time, he felt that it would be no problem for Zhou Quan to change his girlfriend in Hollywood every year.

A private hotel, after Zhou Quan and Da Zui said goodbye, they quietly rushed back to the hotel where they stayed.

The disadvantage of dating a female celebrity like Dazui is that it is easy to be discovered, but the advantage is that there are no other troubles.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, I found out the news very quickly, and I couldn't help but rejoice that if he was at that party, even if it had nothing to do with him, it would be a big trouble.

"Flying man, happy party."

Restaurant, when Zhou Quan saw Jordan, he smiled.

"Pfft!"

Several people couldn't hold back.

Jordan glared at him and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I just drank a few drinks and left. Iron Fist, I warn you, don't bring this on me."

Zhou Quan smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Dameng turned on the TV in the restaurant, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Never go to a party with Sean Kemp again, that idiot can't control himself at all."

Gary Payton's face was dark, Zhou Quan glanced at him, and suddenly took out his mobile phone and called Joe Dumars.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

"Joe, did you see the news?"

"Just saw it, too bad!"

"He won't mess around in the locker room?"

"I often drink alcohol before playing, and sometimes I also smoke... Alas, no one can control him, and his self-discipline is too poor." Joe Dumas sighed.

Zhou Quan said a few more words before hanging up the phone. He felt that the Pistons were going to rebuild again this time.

He glanced at Gary Payton again and said, "Gloves, did he do that in the Sonics?"

Gary Payton faltered: "In the past, it wasn't that great before, but, after being traded, Sean was very unhappy, so it got a little more serious."

Zhou Quan looked at Jordan and the others, and said, "Smoking Malaysia is a bit troublesome for the alliance, but the alliance's efforts to control drugs are very small, and this time it should be fooled."

Jordan said indifferently: "Whatever, we just don't touch it anyway."

Zhou Quan looked at the others, and some of them looked a little stiff, so he knew that among these all-stars, someone must be touching those things.

This kind of thing in Malaysia is too common in the United States. Many stars have smoked it. It is also very common in the NCAA. At least half of the people in the NBA have smoked it and are still smoking it.

His alumnus Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had smoked it, and his addiction was not small, but he was prescribed by a doctor, and it was said that it was a headache.

Chris Webber, the No. [-] pick who just entered the league, had news of smoking Malaysia during the NCAA.

Even in the current Supersonic, maybe someone is smoking, but not in the locker room.

Among the four major professional sports leagues, the other three major leagues are more aggressive in drug control, while the NBA is much smaller in this regard.

Some random tests were also carried out, but only urine tests were not conducted, and the samples were provided by the players themselves. This kind of intensity has no effect at all, and it is just a false story.

But this has nothing to do with him, as long as he keeps himself clean.

After breakfast, they got the news that the league publicly announced that it would disqualify Rainman Sean Kemp from being an All-Star. His starting position will be replaced by Derek Coleman and Larry Johnson as a substitute.

"Hey, Sean, you are an unbelievable guy." Gary Payton sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for his good brother.

Larry Johnson didn't come and was still in Charlotte. After receiving the news, he immediately booked a ticket.

During the day, the league organizes all-stars to participate in some activities.

Zhou Quan, O'Neill and others went to a community primary school and played with the children for an hour and a half.

At noon, a Miami media broke the news that Gary Payton and Sean Kemp were dissatisfied with Zhou Quan because they were traded to Detroit, and there was a verbal conflict between the two sides.

Originally, Sean Kemp was very embarrassed because of the scandal at the party, but this added fuel to the fire. Although the Detroit fans liked to watch his dunks, they became even more dissatisfied with him.

Gary Payton was a little better, the firepower was attracted by Kemp.

Pistons general manager Troy Weaver did not react too much after seeing the news. Whether it is Gary Payton or Sean Kemp, they will continue to stay in Detroit next season. The Pistons need a record to maintain the ball market.

As for the future, he hopes to use one of these two to trade for the top lottery draft pick. If neither is willing to keep it, then he can trade both, or trade one a year, which is more important for maintaining the record. good.

In the evening, Target Center Arena.

For the first time this year, a competition has been added, called the rookie match, all composed of rookies this season, called the talent team and the passion team.

The Talent team was led by Penny Anferney Hardaway, and the Passion team was led by Chris Webber. In the end, the Talent team defeated the Passion team, and Hardaway won the MVP of the first rookie match.

14th, Target Center.

When Zhou Quan appeared on the stage last year, he performed a break dance and a dance fight with O'Neill, which was very popular. Tonight, he specially prepared a set of Tai Chi to show off Chinese elements.

This set of Taijiquan was learned from my grandfather when I went to see my grandfather last time. It is the housekeeping kung fu of the Wudang school. When he has nothing to do, he will practice it as a way of exercising flexibility.

He donated money to the Taoist temple, so when he was learning, there were Taoist priests from Wudang who taught him carefully. They were all Taoist priests who were good at Taijiquan and learned some tricks.

For example, squatting horse stance is the basis of Taijiquan. If you do not squat well in horse stance, you will easily hurt your knees after practicing Taijiquan for a long time.

When they came out, the Eastern All-Stars were the first to go out. After all, they were guests. As a result, several guys broke danced.

"It's a good thing I'm not going to breakdance." He couldn't help but rejoice.

O'Neill, who was about to appear on the stage, was dumbfounded, and shouted: "What are you doing, learn from me and Tekken, can you have some creativity of your own?"

He hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Zhou Quan: "Iron Fist, shall I go with you?"

"Shark, you are the east, and I am the west." Zhou Quan said angrily.

"It doesn't matter, I'm the last one, don't be the finale, and be the first one to go out later."

O'Neal's mind was very flexible, and he immediately thought of a way, and ran to the end of the Eastern All-Stars after speaking.

"I don't dance, what are we doing together?" Zhou Quan said helplessly.

"No fighting dance? Then what have you prepared?" O'Neal asked disappointedly.

"Tai Chi." Zhou Quan said in Mandarin.

"Too...chicken...crazy?" O'Neill read out awkwardly.

When Zhou Quan touched his feet, he made a gesture of Wuji, followed by Taiji gesture, and then closed the gesture and said, "It's a kind of Chinese kung fu."

"You know kung fu?" A group of people were dumbfounded.

O'Neill opened his posture and punched a few times, wiped his nose like Bruce Lee, screamed, and then stammered: "Bo, Bruce Lee, what's your kung fu?"

Zhou Quan was taken aback, and didn't answer, but just laughed.

When he was a child, he practiced Iron Sand Palm with his grandfather Zheng'er Bajing for two years, but he lost it after his grandfather passed away. It can only be said that he has a foundation, but he can't really practice Kung Fu.

But his attitude of not answering was very warm, almost the same as acquiescing.

Karl Malone said angrily: "Damn it, it turns out he knows Kung Fu."

Oakley and Larry Johnson, who were about to play, also glared at Zhou Quan, you bastard, you know how to kung fu, you should have said earlier?

"Charles, it's your turn."

Jordan pushed Oakley and looked back at Zhou Quan. This bastard is too shady, and a lot of people are shady. Fortunately, he didn't do anything.
