Chapter 162 Off-road Vehicle Endorsement Contract

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Dameng didn't make an appointment with me, so the postman, Larry Johnson, and Oakley's agents contacted my agent.

The postman previously said that he would have a boxing match with me in public, but he has not contacted my agent further, and the match has not been finalized. Maybe it is because the Jazz are playing in the playoffs, or maybe he still has concerns, I don’t know.

.”

The assassin said disdainfully: "Fighting you in public? It must be because he is afraid of being beaten by you again and losing face again."

"Haha, I think Isiah is right."

"It must be the same reason for other people. How can they have the confidence to defeat you, Iron Fist?"

"If it were me, I would fight quietly and make it public after I win."

"What if we lose? It's not as shameful. Do you think Iron Fist has the responsibility to keep them secret?"

After staying in the locker room for half an hour, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars went to the post-game press conference.

"Isiah, Iron Fist recognizes you as one of the leaders of the Pistons again, is that true?" a reporter asked.

"Yes."

"What agreement did you make?"

"There is no agreement. We work hard for the team together and fight together. That's it."

"Iron Fist, what does this Eastern Conference Finals series mean to you?"

"I saw the peak we need to cross in the future. Next we need to climb up step by step. Even wind and snow can't stop us. I believe that through unremitting efforts, we will eventually have the opportunity to stand on that peak and step on it.

Underfoot."

"The peak you are referring to is Michael Jordan?"

"No, I'm referring to the Bulls, because without the right helpers, he will always only play the role of the scoring leader and will not be able to win the championship."

"Tekken, how do you plan for your future? Well, I mean, do you hope to become an offensive point guard like the Assassins? I know the Pistons definitely want you to become such a point guard, or do you mainly focus on passing the ball?

Point guard?" the next reporter asked.

This question made Zhou Quan unable to answer for a while, because the reporter was right. The Pistons management and coaching staff have always wanted him to become the next assassin, and this is indeed how he was trained.

In the main lineup, he has a lot of ball rights, but there are still some restrictions ahead. Joe Dumars can still control some of the ball rights, but starting from the late period of the regular season until the just-concluded Eastern Conference Finals, he basically controlled all the ball rights.

Control, which is why he can produce All-Star statistics.

As for his shots, when he took few shots earlier, I thought he took too few shots, so I kept asking him to take more shots.

However, this is different and conflicting with the positioning he gave himself before. After getting the system and having a full panoramic vision, he hopes to become a traditional point guard like John Stockton.

When Larry Bird told him that the scoring leader will always outshine the assists leader, he didn't agree with it at all.

However, losing the Eastern Conference Finals this time had a great impact on him, even very much, and it made him change his mind a little bit.

When Michael Jordan stepped up to score for the team time and time again, the Pistons had no one like him to turn the tide, including him.

In the past, the Assassin scored 25 points in a single quarter in the Finals, which made him an idol in Detroit, but no more.

"Sorry, I can't answer your question now because I will discuss this issue with the management and coaching staff."

After the press conference, Troy Weaver made an appointment with Zhou Quan to discuss some future issues at the headquarters tomorrow.

He is the boss of the team, has the power and qualifications to participate in these discussions, and has the obligation to make his own suggestions. This kind of status is something that the Assassins and Laimbeer did not have before.

Returning to the locker room, carrying his packed bag, Zhou Quan said goodbye to his teammates one by one and said goodbye to him in the new season.

Some of these teammates should leave the Pistons, and maybe some will say goodbye to the NBA forever, and they will be eliminated.

When they got home, it was already 2:30 in the morning. Catherine was woken up by him, and then the two of them started doing some indescribable stimulating behaviors until dawn.

At noon on the 30th, Zhou Quan and Catherine got up from bed. The girl hurriedly made lunch. After eating, she started packing her luggage and booking air tickets, while Zhou Quan drove to the headquarters.

Arriving at the headquarters, McCloskey, Troy Weaver, and Chuck Daly were waiting for him.

"Zhou, starting from today, I officially retire. I hope you and Troy will work together in the future, and I also hope you live a comfortable and happy life in Detroit."

"Jack, thank you for bringing me to Detroit. I feel valued here, which is very important to me. In addition, I wish you a happy retirement life, and I hope you can come back to see us often."

The old man McCloskey said goodbye to Zhou Quan and then left gracefully.

"Mr. Davis made an appointment with him, and they have a good relationship." Troy Weaver sent McCloskey out the door and said enviously when he came back.

"This office is yours now, congratulations, Troy." Chuck Daly said.

"Congratulations, Troy." Zhou Quan also sent his own congratulations.

Troy Weaver said happily: "Thank you, we will work hard together."

Daley shrugged, moved his body stuck in the sofa, shook his head and said, "Troy, I'm old too."

"No no no..."

Upon hearing this, Weaver quickly shook his head and said: "Chuck, I just took over this position, you can't pile up picks right away."

Chuck Daly was not trying to pick on Weaver. He really felt that he was getting old and said, "Don't worry, I won't retire right away. I have to work for another two years."

"That's great, thank you, Chuck." Weaver breathed a sigh of relief.

"Troy, what are you going to talk about when you invite me here today?" Zhou Quan asked.

"There are indeed some things that need to be communicated to you."

Weaver added some coffee to the two of them and sat down and said: "First of all, regarding the lineup, we must introduce some young people and motivated young people, but I need your opinions on how to adjust the main lineup.

"

Zhou Quan didn't say anything. Although Troy invited him over, he was self-aware and this was just an expression of respect for him.

After all, he is just a rookie with insufficient strength and qualifications, and he was promoted by the management. He is still in the training period. If he really makes random suggestions, he will definitely not be liked by Weaver, and even Chuck Daly will not

Happy.

Moreover, he doesn't understand much about this kind of thing and can't provide any valuable advice. Today he only speaks with his ears, not his mouth.

So Troy Weaver only looked at Chuck Daly, and he didn't expect Zhou Quan to provide him with any good advice.

In fact, he didn't even want Daly to give him advice on the lineup, but Daly's status in the Pistons was too high, he had just taken over, and his foundation was unstable. Daly's opinion must be sought, which was inconsistent with his respect.

Zhou Quan’s status as boss is the same.

Chuck Daly pondered for a while and then said: "Dennis is in some trouble now. The divorce lawsuit will be launched soon. He will definitely have to pay a large sum of money and may go bankrupt."

"Maybe Madonna is willing to pay this money." Zhou Quan joked.

"Ha ha……"

The office suddenly burst into laughter.

Chuck Daly rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "Okay, the joke is over, let's get down to business. Dennis still has two years of contract, and he and Zhou will renegotiate the contract after two years. Zhou, you will definitely not execute it.

The fourth year of the contract, right?”

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "It depends on the situation. I haven't considered the next contract yet. It's a little too early."

Troy Weaver smiled and said: "Iron Fist, even if you don't consider it, we will still consider renewing your contract in advance. You deserve the team to do that."

"This is an encouragement to me."

Zhou Quan smiled and nodded.

The economic environment in Detroit is not good, the economy is beginning to decline, and more and more middle-class and white people are leaving. Although he has considered one person, one city, in fact the players are very passive.

The core of the Assassin who won two consecutive championships for the Pistons may be traded. In fact, if he had not reconciled with him, the Assassin was likely to be put on the shelf.

So for the future, his idea is not to adhere to the concept of one person, one city, because he will also be injured, will get old, may not be able to achieve results, and will most likely be put on the shelf.

This league is a business league, everything is business, and nothing is really for sale. The owners require players to be loyal to the team, but once the players lose their value, they will immediately abandon the players who are loyal to them, so in fact there is no such thing in the NBA

True reciprocal loyalty is only a player's unilateral loyalty to the team.

It is too difficult to find an owner who is loyal to the players. Unless the player's departure will cause huge losses to the team, no one can be traded.

Weaver then said to Daley: "Chuck, I know you and Dennis have a good relationship, do you want him to stay?"

"Of course, we also need his defense and rebounding." Chuck Daly nodded.

Weaver nodded, but did not discuss the issue again, but said: "So Chuck, do you have any other suggestions for the lineup?"

Daly said: "Neither John Selly nor Dennis has a physique that can withstand exercise. I hope the thickness of the inner line can be increased."

At this point, he asked: "Is John's contract over?"

Weaver nodded and said: "The team doctor told me that his toe will not completely recover and there will definitely be frequent problems in the future. I plan to give up on him."

"is that so?"

Chuck Daly is a little regretful. Although John Salley is not good at offensive ability, his defense is still good.

When Zhou Quan heard that Weaver was about to give up Seli, he didn't say anything.
