God of NBA point guards

Chapter 231

At 06:30, in the evening, the Knicks bus arrived at Madison Square Garden.

The players got out of the car, and a group of waiting reporters rushed up.

"Charles, Iron Fist boasted that he will fight against the world's boxing champion in the future. He is the Detroit killer, and you are the New York killer. Last time he said he would give you a chance, so do you still have the confidence to challenge him on the ring? ’ asked a New York Times reporter aloud.

Oakley's old face was dark, and he said in a muffled voice: "My nickname is Old Oak, you called the wrong person, New York Killer, that's the nickname Mason wanted."

"Anthony Mason?" The reporter was startled and looked at Mason.

Mason was already laughing from ear to ear, shaking his head and saying: "Thank you boss, don't worry, if Iron Fist beats you again next time, I will definitely stand up and be beaten with you."

"asshole!"

When Oakley heard that there was smoke coming out of his nose, he turned around and kicked him.

"Crack clap..."

Seeing that a civil war in the Knicks was about to break out, a group of reporters excitedly began to press the shutter of their cameras.

"Just kidding, just kidding, boss, you don't have any emotional intelligence at all." Mason said with a smile as he nimbly dodged Oakley's kick.

Oakley snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to Mason's jokes, and stopped accepting interviews from media reporters, and left first.

"Patrick, for this series, are you confident that you can get past the Pistons?" A group of reporters immediately caught up with Ewing.

Ewing followed Oakley forward while thinking about how to respond. He groaned for a long time without saying a word. He was almost at the locker room. Too lazy to interview Ewing.

When Ewing saw the reporter leave, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, after dinner, Zhou Quan, wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, came outside Madison Square Garden, drank a cup of coffee in the cafe, and then wandered around for a while to digest.

He is still very familiar with this place. The 91 NCAA Ice Hockey Iron Championship was won here, and then he announced his participation in the NBA and NHL drafts that night with the attention of the championship.

The current Madison Square Garden is the fourth generation of the garden. It consists of a 32-story building, two cultural centers, and the main arena. The underground is Penn Station, one of the largest train stations in the United States.

This sky garden hosts at least [-] large-scale events every year. When there are very few empty spaces, [-]% of them are sports events and [-]% are non-sports events. It is the best-operated arena in the world.

New York is the financial center of the world, so Manhattan is the center of New York, and Midtown, where the garden is located, is the center of Manhattan.

Here, every inch of land is really expensive, not far from the United Nations headquarters. He thinks that buying a high-rise real estate here should have a good room for appreciation. As long as the financial industry in the United States does not collapse, the housing prices here should not have a chance to fall .

At seven o'clock, the gates of Madison Square Garden were opened, and fans flocked in, filling the arena that can accommodate nearly 2 people at a very fast speed.

Zhou Quan has already returned to the locker room and started changing clothes with his teammates.

At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Knicks: Ewing, Charles Smith, Charles Oakley, John Starks, Doc Rivers

Pistons: Polynes, Ronnie Secali, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Zhou Quan
The Eastern Conference finals were broadcast live across the United States by TNT TV, and the narrators were Robert Jeddah and Ringo Wilson.

Seeing the Pistons' starting roster, both were surprised.

Robert Guida said: "Polynes is the starter, he can only play the fourth and fifth positions, it is impossible to defend Ewing, defend Oakley or defend Smith?"

Ringo Wilson analyzed: "The Pistons don't have any insiders to defend against Ewing. Rodman is the backbone of the inside defense. He has just been selected for the defensive first team, but his height is a disadvantage and he can't defend Ewing. But the Pistons have nothing but him. Will not work."

"The Pistons' interior defense is a problem!" Robert Guida said.

"Let's rely on the outside line. The advantage of the Pistons lies in the outside line. The Knicks' inside line is not comparable to that of the Bulls. To be honest, the Bulls' inside line sucks." Ringo Wilson said.

On the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Lili said: "To defend against a super center like Ewing, we must rely on help to defend. In the case of single defense, let alone an ordinary center, even a super center at the same level as Ewing is impossible to defend against. It's okay, super centers can often form mutual explosions in the case of single defense.

Polynis should use his tonnage to top Ewing and give Rodman and Sekali a chance to help defend. Their tonnage is very light and their moving speed is not slow. I hope their help defense effect Can meet the expectations of the team. "

"Director Zhang, who do you think is more difficult for the Pistons to play the Knicks or the Bulls?" Sun Zhenping asked.

Zhang Lili hesitated for a while and said: "From the performance of the regular season, it is more difficult for the Pistons to play against a team with a strong inside, such as the Supersonics, such as the team with the three super centers, such as the Nuggets where Mutombo is. .

However, the Pistons and the Knicks have played a total of four games this season, with two wins and two losses. The wins and losses are evenly split, which shows that the Pistons have the advantage of the Pistons. As long as they play well, they still have a good chance of reaching the finals. "

"The outside advantage is quite large. As long as you play well, you should have a chance." Sun Zhenping nodded.

Zhang Lili picked up a compiled statistical table and said, "This is the official data I got from the NBA, which is a comparison between the Pistons and the Knicks.

In terms of rebounds, the Pistons averaged 2.8 more Knicks per game, 2.5 more points per game, 5.1 more points conceded per game, 2.2 more assists per game, 0.8 more steals per game, and 2.4 fewer blocks per game. The average free throw is 3.1 fewer, and the average field goal percentage is 1 percentage point lower.

Based on these data, if the Pistons want to win, rebounds are the key, the offense must be played, the organization and assists must be good, and in terms of steals, if Zhou Quan can play the performance of the previous game, it will be very important. These aspects are the Pistons advantage, to maintain their own advantages. "

At this time, in the player channel, the two teams started to meet.

In addition to the players, Pat Riley also arranged a team of security personnel. He was worried that Oakley would provoke Zhou Quan. If he was beaten off the court, he would really not even earn a whistle. morale.

When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous. When Oakley saw Zhou Quan, his eyes were red.

"Oakley, I heard that you gave Mason the nickname of New York Killer King, is that true?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Oakley snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Zhou Quan.

"So arrogant?" Zhou Quan laughed.

"Haha..." Rodman immediately laughed strangely in response to the situation.

"Shut up, bloody bug!"

With a flash of hostility on Oakley's face, he snarled at Rodman.

Rodman's eyes shrank, and he really closed his mouth, and unconsciously took a step behind Zhou Quan.

He really didn't dare to provoke a murderous person like Oakley off the court. If it wasn't for Zhou Quan beside him, how would he dare to laugh at him?
Zhou Quan looked back at Rodman, smiled, and turned to Oakley and said, "Why, old guy, can't my people laugh here?"

"You?" Oakley stammered.

"Laugh, laugh for me. Guys, in this alliance, no one has the right to be arrogant and domineering in front of us." Zhou Quan greeted loudly.

"Ha ha……"

Emboldened by Zhou Quan, Rodman immediately laughed strangely, and then others followed suit, even Joe Dumars smiled appropriately.

"You bastards!"

Oakley was so angry that his face turned pale and his fists were bleeding, but he didn't dare to come up and shake his fists at Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan sincerely persuaded: "Oakley, I gave you a chance last year, and I made you attack thirty or forty times without fighting back, but you were useless!
Remember, don't show off your fierceness in front of me from now on. The neighing of a kitten can't scare the tiger. In my eyes, you are the little cat neighing at the tiger. "

"you?"

Oakley was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

But to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart, his courage had already been shattered by Zhou Quan in the last boxing match, and those thirty-odd punches made him unable to raise his fists in front of Zhou Quan at all. impulse.

In front of Zhou Quan, his little strength is a joke. After that boxing match, he and Larry Johnson were evaluated by the media as the weakest heavyweight professional boxer in history.

"We're out."

At this time, the lights outside were turned off, the host's voice sounded, and Zhou Quan greeted.

Zhou Quan was the last to appear on the stage, and the boos were not loud enough, and he felt that it was not enjoyable enough.

"Hey, Julia, long time no see, great to see you!" When he saw Roberts, he gave a warm hug.

"Congratulations, Iron Fist, you actually eliminated the Bulls and were selected for the double team. You are a real superstar." Roberts sent his congratulations.

Then she introduced a man next to her, saying, "This is Lyle, my husband."

"Lyle, hello." Zhou Quan extended his right hand politely.

"Iron Fist, I hope you have good luck tonight." Lyle smiled after shaking hands.

"Thank you! Julia, Lyle, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free, how are you tomorrow?" he said.

"No, we should invite you. In New York, you are the guests, and we are the hosts." Roberts laughed.

"OK, then it's settled."

Zhou Quan smiled and nodded towards the two, and continued to greet other people he knew.

He knew Lyle. In 91, Roberts made a big incident because of this country singer. He was already engaged to an actor, and the wedding was only a few days away, but because of Lyle, they broke the contract. The two eloped and were shocked. Hollywood.

"Hey handsome, how about you teach me how to fly when you're free?" he said after shaking hands with Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise asked casually: "What kind of plane do you want to fly? I can fly many types, jet, propeller, single-wing, double-wing, multi-wing, single-engine, double-engine, land canard, etc. I have all of these. license."

Zhou Quan was dumbfounded. Apart from passenger planes, he hadn't had much experience with planes. Are there so many types?

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Zhou Quan's appearance, Tom Krum smiled smugly.

"You're an amazing guy."

Zhou Quan gave a thumbs up and said as he left, "Then it's settled, I'll find you during the offseason."

"OK." Tom Krum said with a smile.

Zhou Quan looked around the auditorium and saw some Chinese faces.

New York is one of the cities with the largest concentration of Chinese, accounting for one-tenth of New York's population. Now there are at least 50 Chinese living in the New York metropolitan area, and a large number of smuggled people are not included.

It is a pity that such a large proportion of the Chinese group is not bad economically, but their political status is at the lowest level, and few Chinese are willing to participate in political activities.

"Hey, hello."

"Oh, Ironfist saw us."

He waved to the Chinese people he saw, and those Chinese people stood up excitedly and waved to him.

……

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

Jump ball, Knicks attack.

Zhou Quan defends Doc Rivers, and Joe Dumars defends John Starks.

Their defensive task today is not only to lock up the Knicks' back line on the defensive end, but also to blow up the opponent on the offensive end. Victory over his head.

Doc Rivers is 193 centimeters tall, which is two centimeters taller than Zhou Quan. It looks about the same, but in terms of wingspan, Zhou Quan has the advantage, so in terms of height, he is actually the dominant side.

The tonnage is 84 kg, which is 6 kg lighter, and the ability to fight is much worse.

Even in terms of speed, due to the lighter tonnage, it can barely match Zhou Quan, and its explosive power is far inferior to Zhou Quan.

Ewing entered the basket, Polynice circled forward, Zhou Quan blocked the angle of Rivers' downward pass, he immediately left the basket, and went to the low post on the left wing to ask for the ball.

Rivers got close to the top of the key and passed the ball to Charles Oakley who responded outside the three-point line on the left wing.

"Snapped!"

The moment he passed the ball, Zhou Quan stepped up extremely quickly, stretched out his right arm, poked his big hand, swept past him, and took the ball away.

"Oh, break the ball, Iron Fist broke the ball!" Robert Guida shouted excitedly.

"The reaction is too fast, and the hands are accurate. No wonder Iron Fist hopes to develop in professional boxing. He does have that talent." Ringo Wilson said in surprise.

"boom!"

Neither John Starks nor Doc Rivers caught up with Zhou Quan, who took advantage of the situation and counterattacked. Knicks basket.

"Oh hoo!"

The hundreds of Pistons fans who came to New York with the team cheered excitedly.

New York is not as expensive as Chicago. Tickets are a bit more expensive, and it is farther away, which costs too much. Detroit fans have poor spending power, so there are not many fans coming to the away game this time, only 600 people.

"Doug, watch out for his steal!"

The majestic Pat Riley scolded very severely with a straight face.

Rivers nodded repeatedly, not daring to respond.

The Knicks attacked again, this time Doc Rivers stepped up his guard against Zhou Quan, and deliberately opened the distance from Zhou Quan when passing the ball.

Oakley received the ball, evaded Seikali and passed it in.

Ewing received the ball, Polynis held the ball behind him, and his top defense strength was not small. He suddenly swung the ball upwards with both hands, and then turned around and slipped to the bottom after receiving the ball. Suddenly.

Rodman, who is defending Smith on the right waist, has been staring at the strong side. At this time, he immediately returns to the basket, but Ewing ignores his return defense, and after taking a step into the paint, he dunks flying.

"boom!"

Rodman was a step slower, and the Pistons' basket was exploded.

"Polynis is not good, the defensive strength is too poor, and he failed to get a chance for Rodman to defend." Zhang Li shook his head.

"Let's play again, it's really not good, let's see how the piston adjusts." Sun Zhenping said.

2:2, Pistons attack.

In the frontcourt, Sekali is in the low position on the left wing. On the offensive end, he still plays the fifth position, and Ewing is facing up.

Rodman played from the low post on the right wing to the basket, defended by Oakley.

Polynice can't do anything else, only rebounding is good. He can grab 18 rebounds in 6 minutes of playing time per game, and he is a bit mid-range. Go in and grab the rebound, or set a screen for a teammate, guarded by Charles Smith.

Sticking to the right line, Zhou Quan advanced with the ball, the Knicks switched defenses, and John Starks defended him.

John Starks is one of the three most tough players in the Knicks. The other two are Oakley and Mason. They are also very grumpy, tough, and extremely competitive. Even Jordan refused to accept it. He even once During the team training, he tried to dunk Ewing, but was thrown by Ewing and broke his knee.

This time he had just been selected to the defensive second team and won the first hard honor of his career. It was the time when he was in high spirits. Even against Zhou Quan, who was in the first team, he was full of courage.

"Hey, Iron Fist, beat me up, otherwise you won't be able to pass my level."

"What?"

It was the first time Zhou Quan saw someone who was begging for abuse, he really wasn't the same person, he didn't go into a family, the kid in front of him and Oakley were both overwhelmed!

"I heard you are called crazy?"

Zhou Quan walked into the frontcourt with Starks, who was the same height as him but only 82 kg, and asked casually.

"Yes, you can call it that." John Starks said triumphantly.

"Are you crazy enough to use your hobbies to challenge my major?" Zhou Quan joked.

"What?"

John Starks froze.

"Pfft!"

Several football stars and Hollywood stars sitting next to the head also burst into laughter when they heard this sentence, and Tom Cruise covered his face with laughter.

John Starks reacted and said angrily: "Basketball is also my major, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You turned out to be a professional basketball player?" Zhou Quan said in surprise.

"Ha ha……"

The people who heard it on the sidelines already burst into laughter.

John Starks was furious, if he hadn't been afraid of Zhou Quan's fist, he vowed to fight Zhou Quan.
