Chapter 254 You will never have this opportunity in the Pistons

David Stern shook his head and said: "You will never have this opportunity in the Pistons."

"Why?"

Zhou Quan asked puzzledly.

Stern said: "After the Bad Boys won two consecutive championships, you should know that the Pistons management did not strengthen it. Why?

Because the football market is not good, operations are difficult, and they are losing money every year. Even if they reach the finals and win the championship, they won't make any money, so the team doesn't want to invest."

Zhou Quan was startled, is that so?

Stern added: "You will never get a billion-dollar contract with the Pistons. That's for sure. The Pistons will strictly control costs. That's for sure."

Zhou Quan leaned back in his chair, his thoughts a little divergent.

If Stern didn't lie to him, then not only him, but also Rodman might not be able to sign the big contract he wants. Without Da Chong as a championship puzzle piece, without Da Chong's rebounding and defense, there is hope for his three consecutive championships.

?

Stern added: "Also, I can tell you with certainty that Mr. Bill Davidson is planning to sell the team."

"What?" Zhou Quan was shocked.

…

At twelve o'clock, the team took a bus to one of the best nightclubs in Detroit to celebrate all night long.

This is Rodman's favorite. He is usually controlled by Chuck Daly and cannot mess around. No one cares about him tonight. He entered into a wanton carnival.

Zhou Quan was drunk. He could only drink half a pound of liquor at most. Rodman drank a full belly of cocktails and then fell unconscious.

The next day, Christina had to film a movie and rushed back to Los Angeles in the morning. Zhou Quan was hungover and could not take her to the airport, so Philip took her there on his behalf.

It was almost noon when Philip got up. He prepared lunch, ate and turned on the system.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the season mission and gaining +3 injury resistance, +1 speed, +1 jumping, and +1 agility."

"Cool!"

He whispered secretly.

The injury resistance has been improved to level 93, the speed and jumping, and the agility are level 94. The athletic quality has been improved again in all aspects, and the ceiling is higher again.

"Congratulations to the host, for winning the first NBA championship and FMVP in his career, prediction +5." When he opened the second prompt, he was so shocked that he didn't even bother to eat.

There was a third reminder below, so he quickly opened it.

"Prejudgment has been upgraded to level 90, and the primary prediction vision has been upgraded by two levels. It is now advanced prediction vision. The passing ability has been increased from level 93 to level 96, and the organizational ability has been increased from level 91 to level 95."

"Sent it! Haha..."

Zhou Quan laughed uncontrollably in his heart.

The prediction has been improved by 5 levels, which not only makes his vision better, but also brings his passing and organizational skills to the top level. He will be even stronger next season.

This season, especially in the playoffs, he is under a lot of scoring pressure and his physical fitness is a bit unbearable. But next season, he can provide more shells for his teammates and allow them to attack more. His physical fitness can be used in key situations.

It took time to explode.

…

Next, the Pistons celebrated for three consecutive days. By the end of the celebration, Zhou Quan and all his teammates were exhausted.

In the past few days, the media and industry insiders have also conducted various analyzes on the Pistons' victory.

On the 27th, Pat Riley talked about the Pistons' championship in an interview with the media in New York, saying: "A team gathers three defensive teams. To be honest, it's impossible to play. They don't even need to establish a defensive system.

Three top defenders can prevent all our main offensive points, so I think it is natural for them to win the championship."

"Coach Riley, do you think the Pistons play a big-core style?" the reporter asked.

"certainly."

"Then do you think their victory was a single-core victory?" the reporter asked.

Pat Riley immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you have misunderstood the concept. Big-core play is just a tactical play, while single-core winning is a matter of lineup strength.

The Pistons have Joe Dumars and Rodman, how can they win the championship with just one core? I don’t think Iron Fist would think so.

I think the Pistons' lineup is the same as the Bulls', which is an iron triangle, but the Bulls use a triangle tactic, while the Pistons use a big-core strategy."

"So do you think Iron Fist will apply for a trade in the offseason? If so, are you interested in trading him?" the reporter asked again.

Upon hearing this question, Pat Riley's expression suddenly became full of regrets, regrets, and expectations. At this moment, his ability to manage expressions seemed to have been lost.

After a few seconds, he regained his composure and said in a positive tone: "I think Iron Fist should leave Detroit."

"Why?" the reporter couldn't help but ask.

Pat Riley said: "This is a business league. Detroit's current market and the predictable future market make it difficult to support its pursuit of the championship. They can no longer invest heavily. With the future of Iron Fist, the Pistons

It is difficult to renew him at a low price.

You know, he and Larry Johnson were drafted in the same year. Larry Johnson can get a contract worth 100 million yuan. He is more qualified. No one can deny this.

This is the crux of the problem. There is a comparison there. Detroit must offer a better-quality contract than Larry Johnson's before it can have the confidence to renew Iron Fist. Otherwise, it is disrespect and disapproval of him."

He had some things that were hard to say, such as the official factors of the league. According to his information, Stern had talked to Zhou Quan last night and was even arranged by the Pistons boss. What does this mean? He knew very well that not only the league wanted Zhou Quan

After leaving Detroit, the attitude of the Pistons boss was basically clear.

"So do the Knicks hope to bring in Iron Fist?" the reporter asked.

Pat Riley sighed: "We have the best operational capabilities in the league, and of course we hope to trade Iron Fist. Once Patrick has the opportunity to join forces with Iron Fist, our lineup will be perfect and have the strongest ability to win the championship."

"Do you think there's a chance of completing the deal?" the reporter asked.

Pat Riley smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult."

He understood Stern's thoughts very well. With the emergence of Iron Fist, the Eastern Conference was too strong. Even the defending team Bulls, who had won two consecutive championships, were eliminated in the second round. The number one player in active service and the greatest basketball player in the world

Michael Jordan didn't even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Stern will definitely take action to solve the problem of balance between the East and the West.

There was no Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals this time. The ratings plummeted and ticket revenue from the Bulls, a big market, was lost. The Pistons' pitiful tickets were completely negligible. It should be said that the Pistons eliminated the Bulls and caused huge losses to the league.

Not to mention Stern, even the twenty-seven bosses in the league will not sit back and watch the Iron Fist and Flyers continue to fight to the death in the Eastern Conference.

It should be said that one of Jordan or Iron Fist must go to the West. This is related to the interests of the entire league and no one can stop it.

The one who is most likely to go to the West and the most suitable for trading is, of course, Iron Fist, whose contract only has 1+1 left. Jordan is currently difficult to trade because his commercial value is too great, and Iron Fist, a Chinese player, is currently

The commercial value is completely not on the same level as Jordan's.

But this also makes him regretful, because due to balance, it is difficult for the Knicks to have a chance to get Iron Fist, but they will have a chance to get Jordan in the future.

On the afternoon of the 27th, Lakers general manager Jerry West accepted an interview. When asked about the Pistons' championship, he first said with emotion: "Unfortunately, I must admit that the Lakers missed another magician.

I had a chance to select him through operation."

"Mr. West, what role do you think the Iron Fist played in the Pistons' championship?" the reporter asked.

West immediately said: "The decisive role is that he is the core. As long as he is on the court, he controls the vast majority of the ball. He is the starting point of most offenses and the end point of many offenses. Without him,

, the Pistons are still the bad boy team that was eliminated by the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals and has begun to sink.

It can be said that it was Iron Fist who reborn the Pistons. He resurrected the Pistons instantly and completed the reconstruction."

Speaking of this, he said with great emotion and envy: "The Pistons are really lucky. Not only did they immediately find a rebuilding core, but they also directly rebuilt the core without making any major changes to the other lineups.

Becoming a championship team should be unique in the history of the league. If there is, it is us, the Lakers.

At that time, we couldn't find our direction. We traded Kareem Jabbar, but we couldn't win the championship, and Ervin's emergence immediately made us a championship. The Iron Fist and Magic have similar functions."

At this time, he regretted and slapped his thigh heavily.

The magician retired the year before last. He looked down on Zhou Quan because he wanted to find the next magician. Now whenever he thinks about it, he regrets it and gets a toothache.

"Mr. West, do you think Iron Fist will apply for a deal next?" the reporter asked.

West's spirit instantly brightened and he said: "This is what I'm looking forward to. Iron Fist should play in a big city. His style of play is entertaining, just like another Michael Jordan..."

"Do you think his playing style is as gorgeous as Michael's?" The reporter was obviously very surprised and even interrupted West.

Jerry West nodded and shook his head and said: "He is now a little worse than Jordan. His physical fitness is a little worse, his enjoyment is a little worse, his playing style is not so gorgeous, and his technical movements are not so elegant. But coupled with his passing, I think it is also

Very good.”

"So do you think the Lakers have a chance to trade him?" the reporter asked.

West said excitedly: "This is what makes me excited and looking forward to it. I think yes, Iron Fist should leave Detroit. There is no room for Iron Fist and Jordan in the East.

What people want to see is Iron Fist and Jordan meeting in the finals, not one person fishing and the other person cheating in the finals."
