Chapter 010 Official Penalties + Compensation for Sponsorship Contracts

Isaiah, it is best for you to reconcile with Zhou Quan

Zhou Quan patted Qiao Dumas on the shoulder and smiled, saying: "I am still too inexperienced, lacking in strength, and have not made any notable contributions to this team. It is uncertain what my future development will be; perhaps I can only become a second-rate player.

Thus, Qiaodumas became the undisputed leader, yet regardless of who it was, no one dared to ignore the presence of Zhou Quan

Mark Aguirre did not dare to provoke Zhou Quan; he was not a member of the Bad Boys to begin with, and naturally, he did not like Zhou Quan. Fortunately, Chaudumas said that Iron Fist would no longer trouble him, which relieved him.

What else can John Sally do? With Rambis retired and Thomas likely unable to compete against Iron Fist, he can only lower his head and live with his tail between his legs

In fact, after the most formidable Rick Mahorn was taken away back in the day, there was no one left who could compete. Isiah Thomas once stated that the Bad Boys era was over. Now, with the retirement of Bill Laimbeer, it may truly mark the end of the Bad Boys era.

Thomas was in a daze for half a day; he understood that, in order to quell public opinion, Lambeau had become a sacrificial victim, and so had he.

This news shocked the entire league, instantly causing countless fans to cheer, and numerous players who had been harmed by Lambi and * Tushul * raised their glasses in celebration, plunging the whole league into a frenzy

He actively engages in conversation with each teammate, conducting detailed communication, and carefully observes each person's playing habits during training. This is an essential responsibility of a point guard

In the afternoon, Zhou Quan received a one-year sponsorship contract from Ford Motor Company, along with a check for five hundred thousand dollars

You should know that the NCAA is our foundation, and you come from there as well. When you realize that the teams you will join in the future will have a group of veterans waiting in the locker room to beat you up, would you still join the NBA?

As long as they do not trouble me, I can agree to you said Zhou Quan

Philip further stated, "However, these are all short-term contracts. If you can have an impressive rookie season, your popularity can be sustained; otherwise, the current popularity will quickly dissipate."

"Think carefully; apart from retirement, this is the only path you have," said McCluskey

Detroit Pistons, fined one million dollars

On the morning of the 19th, Zhou Quan was discharged from the hospital

The headquarters of Ford Motor Company is located in Detroit, the Motor City, and it has always been the largest sponsor of the Pistons. With Ford taking the lead, this sponsorship contract is above board, reasonable, and legal, and no one can say otherwise.

However, after this incident was exposed by the media, David Stern could only characterize it this way to mitigate some losses; otherwise, if it were classified as a brawl, the league would certainly face public criticism, resulting in even greater losses. The enthusiasm of those NCAA rookies for the NBA would undoubtedly be adversely affected.

However, he has not yet recovered; he is merely resting at home and will likely need about three weeks to recuperate. He may not be able to participate in the upcoming regular season games.

John Sally, I promised Joe that I would not trouble you again, so do not cause any trouble, and do not give me a reason to deal with you

Zhou Quan possesses two distinct personalities. His outward demeanor is very gentle, never putting others in an awkward position, making him easy to get along with. This trait is particularly advantageous for his integration into the team

This characterization, on the surface, seems very unfavorable to the alliance. If it were a brawl, it would indicate that Zhou Quan was also at fault. However, now that it is characterized as an assault on a rookie, Zhou Quan's actions fall under self-defense, which changes the situation entirely. The responsibility lies entirely with Lanbir and his side

Although Zhou Quan is still recovering from his injury, he comes to the team every day to enhance his presence and engage in some communication with his teammates

Rest assured, I will mediate in this matter and will not let you be embarrassed

Mikloski said to Thomas: "This is the league's demand of you, they are watching you. If you do not reconcile with Zhou Quan, you will not be able to alleviate the concerns of those young people in the NCAA, which will affect the foundation of the league"

On the 18th, Philip arrived in Detroit, beaming as he took out a large stack of sponsorship contracts and said to Zhou Quan:

Zhou, your popularity has surged, you are now the number one warrior in the NBA, the toughest of the tough, the dragon slayer. This wave of popularity has brought you tangible benefits. Look, this is all yours, totaling over 1 million dollars, you have struck it rich

On that afternoon, the official representative of the Pistons, Bill Laimbeer, announced his retirement, marking the exit of a legendary enforcer and the league's foremost villain from the NBA stage

Zhou, you can no longer trouble them; they are the contributors to this team. I have fought alongside them for so many years, and they have given everything for this team. I will not support you in troubling them again, absolutely not.

Thomas is still in the hospital, John Salley's foot injury has not yet healed properly, and Zhou Quan has also not recovered. The three of them did not participate in the training camp, while the other eleven members all attended.

The official characterization of this incident is that it is not a brawl with the book, but rather an assault on a newcomer

Qiao Dumas nodded and said with a wry smile, "That day Bill was indeed excessive, but fortunately you managed to win against them one to four. Now that Bill has retired and you are a favored individual in the management, I will support you."

He was shocked to discover that the team had changed; it was no longer the team of Laimbeer and Thomas, and no one feared them anymore

Isaiah Thomas has been suspended for an additional 10 games and fined $50,000

So, Joe, this team is now yours, I support you

Additionally, there is a key for a brand new Ford F-150 double cab pickup truck, as well as a key for a high-end community detached villa and a rental contract

Additionally, the league has informed the Pistons that it will tacitly allow the Pistons to provide certain compensation to Zhou Qian.

Qiaodumas found himself engulfed in a complex array of emotions

In the afternoon, he first went to buy a mobile phone, commonly referred to as a "big brother" in the country, then went to the bank to repay a loan, and also remitted fifty thousand US dollars to his father

I know, I am here to have a conversation with you

Especially the four newcomers, including Darnell Walker, who have just arrived at the Pistons, are closely united around him, relying on him as their support, and they hardly pay attention to Chauncey Billups' words

Qiao, do you think there is still a need for the Bad Boy Legion to exist

On the morning of the 25th, Spider John and * Picture * Book Sally rejoined the team

Zhou Quan promptly issued a warning

In reality, there is no need for him to integrate; everyone is actively approaching him. Even the rebellious Rodman would not dare to confront him.

With the assistance of Choudhury and his inherent leadership qualities, he integrated into the team in just a couple of days

At 10:00 AM on the 15th, the NBA officially announced its decision regarding the incident of the assault on the rookie in the Pistons' locker room.

Bad Boy Legion

John Sally and Mark Aguirre each added a fine of fifty thousand dollars

However, in the morning, Zhou Quan arrived at the headquarters and found Qiao Doumas to have a discussion with him

Fifty thousand US dollars is sufficient to resolve the family's financial issues, but he fears that his parents may not be able to withstand the shock, which could be detrimental instead

Zhou Quan is speechless; who would have thought that fighting could bring such great benefits? It seems that the Bad Boy Legion is indeed his benefactor!

Iron Fist, you cannot train right now; your injury has not yet healed

On the 20th, the official training camp of the league commenced

This penalty is also quite severe, arguably the heaviest fine in history. Rambis has retired, and Thomas's suspension is also very significant

Is Iron Fist trying to push him to the opposite side of Thomas? Qiao Du Ma Si once again forced a bitter smile

I understand

Bill Laimbeer was fined an additional $100,000
