Chapter 267 New Head Coach Magician
周权17投12中，面对孱弱的湖人，命中率高达恐怖的70.6%，三分球1投0中，7次快攻成功6次，另外外线跳投6投3中，持球突破得分4投3中，加上5罚5中，轰下29分4篮板12助攻6抢断2盖帽5失误2犯规。

Bill Walton praised: "Super high efficiency, Iron Fist's performance in the new season is very exciting. What is particularly impressive is that he made eight no-look passes and made two turnovers tonight. Forgive me, after all, we just played together."

"It's safe to say that the no-look pass is going to be one of the Tekkens' routines," Williams said.

"Yes."

Bill Walton nodded, and said: "Although Tekken made 5 turnovers tonight, he sent 31 assists in 12 minutes. His passes allowed a total of seven players in the team to score in double figures, and all five starters scored. In double figures, even Rodman scored 13 points, showing a strong ability to organize and assist, and he activated the offense of all his teammates."

Williams said: "Last season, the Sonics ranked 4th in the Western Conference and 5th in the league in terms of points per game in the regular season, with 108.3 points and strong firepower. It seems that the Tekken Supersonics' offensive firepower is also very fierce. "

Bill Walton said: "Last season, the Sonics allowed an average of 101.3 points per game, second in the Western Conference and fifth in the league. It can be said that they are both offensive and defensive. It's no wonder they can make it to the Western Conference Finals.

But I believe the Sonics will be better this season. Among the five new starters, Iron Fist and Rodman are on the defensive side. Kendall Gill, Perkins, and Schramf are also good defensively. The defense should be only stronger than last season's starting lineup.

On the offensive end, with Iron Fist, a superstar who can stand up at critical moments, I think this Supersonic team will definitely go further in the critical playoffs. "

Williams added: "Tonight's SuperSonics are still a team with extremely sharp fast breaks and fierce defensive flanks, and they are still a team full of blood and passion.

But at the same time, we also need to see the changes in this team. Tekken is still a big-core player with the ball. When he is on the court, he is in charge of the ball, and [-]% of the offense is initiated by him. This is completely different from last season. , Last season, the gloves did not occupy the ball, and the ball was transferred a lot, but now the iron fist controls everything. "

Bill Walton said with a smile: "So the performance of Tekken will determine the upper limit of this team. How high he can fly, how high this ball can fly. At the same time, his existence, I think, also determines this team. The lower limit of the team."

Williams said with a smile: "It seems that George Karl made a compromise because of the arrival of the iron fist. This tactic is not his style at all."

"Iron Fist is not a small role. Mr. George Karl must either make a change or leave. He only has the chance to choose one of the two." Bill Wharton laughed.

"No head coach is willing to give up the opportunity to coach Iron Fist easily, unless he is a fool." Williams laughed.

Leading the team to beat the Lakers to get off to a good start, and it was a big victory. Zhou Quan's performance was very good, and he made 8 dunks in the game, which was good to watch. At the end of the game, he won the praise of all the fans Cheers.

After the game, he accepted a live interview with ABC TV.

"Tekken, congratulations, you still played top-level offensive and defensive performance tonight, and your debut in the Supersonics was very successful." The reporter said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Zhou Quan asked curiously again: "How is our ratings tonight? I hope it's good."

When the reporter heard this sentence, he was very happy and said: "It's great, more than 780 million people watched this game tonight, which is higher than the average playoffs.

To know that there are 13 openers tonight, as well as other league and NCAA games, this is very good, even surpassing the average ratings of the Sonics in the playoffs last season. "

"Oh, how many were they last season?" Zhou Quan asked.

The reporter said: "Last season, the league's regular season ratings were 108 million, and the Sonics' ratings were 95, which was lower than the league average. The average ratings of the Supersonics' three-round playoff series was 426 million."

Last season, the Sonics had only 17 live broadcasts across the United States, and the ratings in the United States were not high enough. Even in the Seattle metropolitan area, with a population of several million people, because there are other professional teams here, the ratings were not high enough. "

Zhou Quan nodded happily. Of course he knows that it is impossible for every game to have such a high ratings. Tonight is the opening game and it will be broadcast live across the United States. The ratings, even if it is very successful, are far higher than last season.

"780 million? Oh, Iron Fist is awesome!"

At this time, Ballmer also got the ratings data and was very happy. This is the first regular season ratings in the history of the Sonics.

His investment in the Supersonics is different from his former boss Akley, and he is interested in the same as Paul Allen. He hopes to win a championship, and making money is not in his consideration.

But if you can still make money while competing for the championship, why not do it?

"How much is a bull?"

He asked Chelsea Rock, his personal assistant.

"990, Michael Jordan is indeed the most popular, higher than the average ratings of the Western Conference Finals last season. But our ratings tonight are the second highest in the league." Locke said.

Ballmer shrugged his shoulders and said with a satisfied smile: "With the influence of basketball and boxing and golf, Tekken's popularity is already very good. After all, he is not an American, and this is only his third season."

At this time, Cherslock suddenly pointed to the top and whispered: "Sir, I just heard the news that Iron Fist complained that this arena is too dilapidated, and it should be renovated."

Ballmer couldn't help but glanced at the top of his head, smacked his lips, nodded and said, "Not only he thinks it's broken, but I think it's broken too. This arena doesn't deserve the ratings of 780 million."

Locke said with a smile: "If 2 people can be accommodated here, as long as the attendance rate is guaranteed, the team's operating income should increase significantly."

……

The supersonic post-game press conference was full of people.

Zhou Quan, Rodman, Schramf, these three all-stars attended the press conference.

"Crack clap..."

Zhou Quan changed into a stylish casual suit without a tie, and accepted the baptism of the media cameras with a smile on his face.

"Tekken, have you developed the ability to pass the ball without looking at people?" The first reporter to be flopped by the host was a New York Times reporter.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Yes, I am developing this technology. But there are a lot of mistakes, and we need more tacit cooperation."

"Will you compete for the scoring title and MVP this season?" The reporter asked again.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to be an MVP? But the honor of scoring champion is not very attractive to me. I hope to defend the title of assists champion and steals champion."

The second question was a reporter from the Washington Post. The host gave the first two questions to these influential world-class media.

The reporter asked George Karl: "Coach Karl, I saw that Iron Fist played with the ball and a big core in this game. This is completely opposite to your style. Did you make a compromise?"

George Karl said calmly: "This is not a compromise. It has nothing to do with compromise. It is a tactical adjustment based on the technical characteristics of the players and the team's lineup. This is the job of the head coach. If I don't even have this ability, How to be a head coach?"

Then it was the local media’s turn, and the third was a reporter from the Seattle Post. He asked, “Iron Fist, we got news that the game’s ratings were as high as 780 million, far exceeding last season’s Supersonics single in the regular season. The highest audience rating of the show was 290 million.

At the same time, we have increased the number of live broadcast games in the United States from 17 to 36 games this season, which is also the highest number of games in Sonics history.

Then we analyze based on these data, your arrival, because of your influence, we think the Supersonic ball market will usher in a sharp rise this season, do you agree with our prediction? "

Zhou Quan pondered for a while and said, "I hope your prediction is correct. Last season, the Supersonics' football market was considered fourth-class, right?"

"Yes, when the record was bad before, it was the worst fifth tier, and last season it was fourth tier. Fortunately, it made it to the Western Conference Finals, and the team made a small profit." The reporter laughed.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Then I hope we can reach the Western Conference Finals this season, so that the team can earn a little more. Make more money, and then invest in the renovation of this arena."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Zhou Quan's ridicule, the local reporters below all laughed.

The reporter reminded: "Tekken, this arena belongs to the city government, and the team has no right to make renovations."

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Then we will use our performance to make the city government change its mind and make them support us more strongly."

……

Late at night, Zhou Quan drove along the canal to Lake Washington in a Ferrari sports car.

This canal passing through the city center connects Lake Washington in the east of Seattle and Puget Sound in the west. Along the way, you can see many sailboats and yachts parked by the river, as well as many camping tents.

His villa is on the west bank of the lake. There is no need to cross the bridge. From the central gymnasium to the villa, the speed is 40 kilometers per hour, and it takes more than [-] minutes.

There are three pontoon bridges in Lake Washington. When you drive along the lake, you will see one of them. The opposite side of the bridge is Mercer Island.

That's where the top rich people live. The villas of Bill Gates and Ballmer are there. He doesn't have the financial strength to live there yet. Any villa on the island costs tens of millions of dollars, and the annual property tax is A lot of money.

At present, the average property tax in the United States is as high as 1.3%, which is 1.3% of the property value, not the transaction price. Seattle is not bad, only 0.65%, and it varies from state to state.

His current villa has to pay more than 2 US dollars in property taxes per year, plus insurance premiums and ordinary maintenance fees. The annual hidden cost is about 15 to [-] US dollars, which reaches [-] to [-]% of the property value. between.

The next morning, Zhou Quan ran along the lake, something he couldn't do in Detroit, where he could only stay at home or do some activities in the community.

There is only one villa far away from the lake, and the distribution is very scattered. Most of the villas have private docks, where yachts and sailboats are parked.

But there are no fish in this lake because the water is too clear.

"Thank you!"

After running back, he brought in the newspaper. After taking a shower, the chef had already prepared breakfast.

“38分钟，28分7篮板9助攻2抢断2失误，投篮命中率51%……”

I found the news about the Bulls and looked at it. The Bulls won the Hornets away game. Jordan's personal data is good, but it is certain that he did not give full play.

He looked at the news of the Detroit Pistons again, and they won the Timberwolves at home, 101:135, which can be called a wild victory.

Kemp exploded, scoring 34 points, shooting 60%, Ricky Pierce 26 points, Joe Dumars 21 points, Gary Payton 20 points, Secali 15 points, the Pistons scored in double figures five times, and four scored 20+.

"The Timberwolves are so unlucky!" he exclaimed.

After flipping through a stack of newspapers, the media's evaluation of the new supersonic and the new piston is not bad.

For example, the NBA editor-in-chief of the Miami Daily, a well-known NBA commentator, Max Rogers, said in a commentary:

"From the perspective of the first game, the deal about Tekken should be a win-win. The Pistons avoided Tekken's super contract and effectively reduced operating costs, which is in line with the declining ball market in Detroit.

The Supersonics have the FMVP Iron Fist, equipped with a good lineup, and with Iron Fist's ability to lead the team, the new season should make a difference.

But the two teams are almost rebuilding, they need a lot of running-in time, so I think they should not be given more pressure, they should be given time to grow, if they can reach the second round of the playoffs, I think It was a success. "

Isiah Thomas and Bill Lambiel, the new and tender commentators that ESPN has just signed, explained the Pistons' opening game. They all accepted interviews from the media and gave their own comments on the new Pistons and the new Supersonics.

Isiah Thomas said: "This Pistons is very good, full of vitality, no matter from the analysis of offense, defense, organization, etc., I think it is not even worse than when the Iron Fist was in.

The new Sonics are also very good, Iron Fist is still so good, I heard that he has also developed the technique of passing the ball without looking, which shows that he is still improving.

These two teams, I think both belong to the first tier of teams, and I think they both have a chance to reach the finals and hit the championship. "

Bill Lambiel said: "The Pistons deal is undoubtedly a success, and they have the strength to defend the championship this season. And the Supersonics, that bastard Iron Fist will definitely fail, I bet a dollar."

"That guy Lambir, he probably wouldn't fight me in the ring. It seems that he shouldn't be able to apply for a boxing license. What a pity! There's no way to beat him openly."

Zhou Quan put down the newspaper and muttered.

……

At noon on the 7th, Zhou Quan rushed to the headquarters with his luggage, and rushed to the away game with the team.

This time there is only one away game, playing the Jazz, and then there are five home games.

The Jazz this season was listed as a third-tier team by most of the media, but some media also listed it as a second-tier team.

The second-tier teams, that is, the offense that reached the second round is very strong, and they may even have a chance to hit the finals of the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The third-tier teams, ordinary playoff teams, basically only have the strength to play in the first round of the playoffs.

Some media also listed the Supersonics as the second-tier team, such as ESPN, so in this game, some media believe that the probability of the Jazz winning is not small.

ESPN TV's NBA channel predicted this game in its program: "The Supersonics do not have a big advantage over the Jazz. Although the Iron Fist has an advantage on the outside, the postman can blow up its inside, so the outcome of this game Fifty-five."

Zhou Quan scoffed at this statement. As long as he locks Stockton, the postman will have difficulty connecting the ball.Four regular season games with the Jazz this season, let the Jazz win one, even if they are good.

That night, the Lakers lost two games in a row, and then the management announced the change of head coach. Magic Johnson stepped up and became the new head coach.
