God of NBA point guards

Chapter 273 It Feels Like My Brain Has Been Hollowed Out
Mosaic arrived in Seattle the next day.

In the last game, Mosaic lost to the Nuggets at home and got the second loss of the new season. The record is 22 wins and 2 losses, and it is still the first in the league.

The Supersonics are 20 wins and 3 losses. If they play one less game, they lose one more game, and the win or loss is 1.5 games. If they win this game, they will be 21 wins and 3 losses, only 0.5 wins away from Mosaic.

"We don't allow a losing streak. Tomorrow night we will double-kill the Supersonics, and I will double-kill the Iron Fist." Dameng Olajuwon let go of his rhetoric when he was interviewed by the media at the airport.

"If the playoffs and the Sonics meet, are you confident of winning the series?" A reporter asked.

"We are not the Knicks. Whenever we encounter the Supersonics, we will kill the Supersonics in that round." Dameng said confidently.

"This bastard actually satirized us and stepped on me?" Ewing was very angry when he saw what Dameng said from the media reports.

O'Neal is not counted. Among the three super centers, because they are all Jordan's friends, the relationship between Ewing and Dameng is not bad, and there are some off-court interactions. The two of them have no off-court interactions with David Robinson. The general is a high-achieving student. , and disdain to associate with these rough people.

But in fact, the competition between the three is everywhere, the All-Stars, the regular season honors, the playoffs, and now that O'Neal has been added, the competition between the four super centers has become more intense.

For example, last season, Olajuwon was selected to the best team, and Ewing was only selected to the second team. This is a competition for hard honors. If you get it, I will lose it.

Now seeing Dameng mocking him for stepping on him, Ewing felt a little uncomfortable.

……

December 12th, Christmas Day.

Tonight, the NBA only arranged two games. The Magic played the Bulls away, and the Mosaic played the Sonics away.

At 07:30, the Sonics and Mosaic announced the starting list.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Austin Thorpe, Robert Horry, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith
Sonics: Sam Perkins, Rodman, Schrempf, Kendall Gill, Zhou Quan

The game will be broadcast live across the United States by ABC.

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "Dameng said that he would double-kill the Iron Fist, and double-kill the Supersonics at home and away. He is very confident. However, there are four games between them in the regular season this season. I am curious why he didn't say four-kill Iron Fist. What about quad kill supersonic speed?"

Lewis Williams said with a smile: "Let our colleagues ask him this question later, maybe he missed two games?"

"Haha, yes." Bill Wharton laughed.

CCTV also had a live broadcast, and Zhang Lili said at this time: "Who wins tonight will depend on Zhou Quan or Dameng who performs better."

Sun Zhenping said: "The state is good and bad. Anyway, I don't believe that Mosaic has the strength to double-kill the Supersonics. Dameng and Zhou Quan are not in the right position, and he doesn't have the strength to double-kill the Iron Fist."

……

"Victory! Victory..."

Under the leadership of Zhou Quan, the Seattle Center Gymnasium heard the shouts of the Sonics and the fans, with high momentum and loud voices.

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

Jump ball, mosaic attack.

Jet Kenny Smith holds the ball, guarding against Zhou Quan who is one step away, while observing the situation on the court.

"squeak!"

Seeing the opportunity, when the opponent's ball was just pressed to the ground, Zhou Quan suddenly grabbed it, leaned over and reached out to poke the ball.

Kenny Smith was so frightened that he pulled the ball back quickly, and made a mistake in his busy schedule. He took a step back, but the ball missed. Zhou Quan took advantage of the situation and caught the ball.

"Steal the ball, Iron Fist starts stealing the ball!"

The live commentator Henem Chrisman shouted excitedly.

Immediately after Zhou Quan steals the ball, he starts to move quickly and breaks through from the right. Kenny Smith moves sideways to intercept him. Put the jersey on, the speed first down didn't come up.

At this time, the big dream under the basket has begun to catch up, and the speed is extremely fast.

Zhou Quan carried Kenny Smith to the basket with his left elbow and made a layup with one hand.

"Di!"

The Jets were in a hurry and pulled people. At the same time as the whistle sounded, Zhou Quan's right hand threw the ball to the basket.

"Snapped!"

A figure from behind came with a hurricane. In the air, he slapped the basketball on the basket and flew straight out of the left line.

"Oh, big dream?"

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman exclaimed and immediately reacted: "Interference ball, this is interference ball!"

"The ball was over the rim and he violated the cylinder," McGim yelled.

At this time, the referee ran up and signaled Kenny Smith to draw a foul and add a free throw. Dameng's blocking action was after the whistle, a technical foul and a free throw for the Supersonics.

"Oh hoo!"

The audience suddenly boiled.

Not counting the cover, and being called a technical offender, Dameng's face suddenly stinks.

Zhou Quan secretly praised Dream: "This bastard runs really fast!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

He first made an extra penalty hit, then made a penalty for the technical offender, and hit again.

"This time the offense and defense were wonderful, and it was 2+1+1, beautiful!" Zhang Reasonable laughed.

"But if it's an away game, maybe it's not like that. Since the new season, the American media has been hyping the negative news about Zhou Quan. I feel the same as Jordan last season." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Zhang Lili nodded heavily and said: "The American media is like this. Whoever is popular will be hyped, especially some negative news, which is very popular."

On the field, Mosaic attacked.

At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan blocked Kenny Smith's downward pass angle, and Smith immediately passed the ball to small forward Robert Horry on the left wing three-point line.

Schramf raised his hands and kept waving, blocking the angle of Horry's downward pass, and Horry lobbed the ball to Dameng in the low post on the left wing.

"Pinch!"

The moment he passed the ball, Supersonics coach George Karl yelled passionately from the sidelines.

In a high position, Zhou Quan rushed down quickly.

Under the basket, Rodman rushed over.

"Triple teams!"

Zhang Lili let out a loud shout.

The left wing is low, Dameng just received the lob, and the three-person double-team has come to his side. There is no chance to make a shot, so he can only hold the ball high with both hands, ready to pass the ball.

Horry ran to the left corner from 45 degrees from the three-point line, but Schrempf followed, and the chance of receiving the ball was not good.

Jets Kenny Smith at the top of the arc ran to left with no one around.

When Zhou Quan completed the double-team, he knew that Dameng had no chance of making a move. He did not forget to take advantage of his full-level panoramic vision.

With a slight shake of his head, out of the corner of his left eye he saw the Jet's running position, and he judged that Dameng would definitely pass the ball to the Jet.

Thanks to the full-level panoramic vision, when his head is swinging, the peripheral vision in the corner of his right eye is still locked on the big dream, and his every move is very clear.

In the next moment, Dameng threw both hands above his head in the direction of the jet.

At this moment, the strength of the 96-level neural reaction speed was perfectly reflected. Dameng's passing action was like a signal gun on the [-]-meter starting line, making him jump up instantly.

"Snapped!"

The top-notch precision strike effect was displayed at the same time, and a pair of big hands stretched out, directly confiscating the basketball that Dameng had just passed.

"Oh, oh, steal the ball! This is the most perfect rugby aerial stealing action, haha..." The on-site commentator Hnem Chrisman laughed extremely excitedly.

"Oh hoo!"

The moment the steal happened, the audience suddenly boiled.

"What a quick response!" Bill Wharton also praised.

"Zhou Quan's reaction is so fast!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Dameng regretted not making a fake move first. He thought he had the advantage of height and wingspan, and there would be no problem with passing the ball suddenly, but there was no time for him to regret it. Zhou Quan turned around and dribbled the ball and ran wildly. , he hurriedly ran after him.

Kenny Smith on the three-point line has returned to the defense, and Vernon Maxwell on the other wing has also returned to the backcourt. The left and right wings attack the middle with a closed door defense.

One step behind Zhou Quan, there is still a big dream chasing fiercely. His speed is comparable to that of a defender. It is extremely fast. Rodman and Perkins who are in the same position as him are both behind.

Zhou Quan reached two meters in front of the two, suddenly slowed down, and then jumped with the ball together. When sliding forward, he threw the ball towards the basket with one hand with his right hand.

The big dream chasing the hat behind him swept away.

The two in front also took off to block the shot, but the cap was empty. This is a drop shot, and the defensive height is quite a bit lower than the boss.

"Go in!"

Sun Zhenping gave a loud shout.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and Zhou Quan made a throw.

"Oh hoo!"

In the Seattle Center Stadium, huge cheers erupted.

"Beautiful! In the opening week, Quan was in a hot state. After two steals and a fast break, he scored 6 points in a row." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "This defensive state is obviously better than the last mosaic."

Zhang Lili smiled and explained: "It's just the regular season, 82 games, it's impossible to give full play in every game, it will be exhausting.

Especially in away games, the opponent's home team must want to win more. The visiting team will depend on the situation. Generally, they will play at a low level. The home team will perform better, and the whistle will be more biased towards the home team. "

Sun Zhenping joked: "So yesterday Dameng only talked about double-killing the Supersonics, not quadruple-killing."

Zhang Lili couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "The Supersonic's defense itself is strong. The team in the West concedes the fewest points. It can be said that the overall defensive effect is better than Mosaic. Of course, this is from the point of view of conceding points.

If Dameng dared to say something so crazy about four kills and angered the Supersonic players, then he would not have good results. The Supersonics made a lot of defensive moves, and injuries are normal. "

Mosaic offense, under Zhou Quan's blockade, Kenny Smith was unable to pass the ball to Dameng in the low post, so he passed it to Horry first.

Horry hit sideways, hit the ground and passed the ball suddenly, and passed the ball down.

This pass is faster than a lob. Zhou Quan went down to double-team and was not in time. Rodman assisted in defense from the basket, but Dameng had already sensed Rodman's assisted defense behind him. After receiving the ball, he immediately turned around and passed the ball , Thorpe under the basket caught the ball and made a layup.

"Snapped!"

At this time, Zhou Quan, who had come down from a high position, arrived in time, hit the ball precisely in the air, and slapped the ball into the sky.

"Oh oh..."

After two steals, he gave another big cap, and it was the opponent's power forward. The adrenaline of the supersonic fans was already bursting, and the excited shouts were endless.

The ball landed on the right line of the paint area and was picked up by Austin Thorpe. Zhou Quan switched positions to defend against big players. Thorpe dribbled the ball inside without hesitation.

Leaning forward, Zhou Quan pressed Thorpe's back firmly with his shoulders and elbows. His feet were rooted and nailed to the floor like a nail. Inch.

"how is this possible?"

After arching twice, Thorpe, who weighs 110 kilograms, suddenly found that he couldn't arch Zhou Quan?

The next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly flashed to the side, Thorpe fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a crash, while Zhou Quan got the ball.

"Oh oh oh……"

The shouts from the Seattle Center gymnasium did not go down, and the decibel level climbed up again at this time.

"The point guard defends against the power forward. This is power. The iron fist is good!" Bill Walton roared excitedly.

At this time, Zhou Quan passed the ball, and Kendall Gill, who was about to get off, caught the ball and rushed in, throwing off Maxwell, who was unable to catch up and defended, and succeeded in a layup.

"3 steals and 1 block, Zhou Quan played the most exciting defense at the beginning. In this state, the Supersonics will definitely win today!" Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.

In the first quarter, Zhou Quan played 10 minutes before leaving the field. He was in a brave state on the defensive end. He sent 5 steals and 1 block in a single quarter, plus 10 of 8 shots, all of which were two-pointers, and all 5 fast breaks were scored. , 5 of 3 shots in the positional battle, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scored 22 points and received 3 assists.

The Sonics made 10 shots in 22 minutes, while Mosaic made 7 turnovers, only 14 shots, and 8 shots were missing in one quarter.

With Zhou Quan's strong defensive performance, when he was off the court, at 14:30, the SuperSonics had already led by 16 points.

Bill Walton admired: "Just like Dameng in the last game against the Supersonics, this time, it's Iron Fist's turn to use his defense to beat the mosaic, haha!"

"It's too strong! Tekken's stealing ability is too strong, with 5 steals in a single quarter, can I say that he is the most powerful stealing king in history?" Lewis Williams also praised.

Bill Wharton said excitedly: "The reaction is super fast, the anticipation is first-rate, the steps are fast, the arms are long, and as we said before, he has a very good talent for precise strikes and a full sense of space, which is very beneficial. Stealing and stabbing are very precise, and the combination of various abilities and qualities forms his stealing ability.

Lewis, I agree with you, Iron Fist is really the strongest steal leader in NBA history.No, it should be said that he is the most powerful steal king in basketball history. "

"Zhou Quan's steal is really amazing!" In the commentary booth of CCTV, Zhang Lili repeatedly praised.

"If we keep fighting, it shouldn't be difficult for Iron Fist to hit a triple-double today." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"possible."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Zhou Quan worked so hard on the defensive end today. One is that he lost on the court and lost to Dameng's defense and all-around performance. Today is the home game. He must want to win a game. Second, yesterday's big Meng said that he wanted to complete the home and away double play, which should have angered Zhou Quan."

At the end of the first quarter, at 18:34, the Sonics led by 16 points.

Dameng sat on the bench, wiped his sweat, and complained: "When that bastard just broke my ball, he hit my wrist. The referee should have seen it. He didn't blow it. The home whistle is too obvious!"

He was also stunned today. Zhou Quan broke him twice in a single quarter, made 3 turnovers in a single quarter, made 5 of 2 shots, and made 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.

"I also saw him turn his wrist, but he didn't blow either." Kenny Smith complained.

"I saw him walk," Maxwell complained.

Behind the bench, an old fan in his 70s and [-]s said loudly: "Hey, boys, the weak will complain about this and that, and the strong will only defeat their opponents with absolute strength.

Just like Iron Fist did in the finals tie-breaker, just like Michael Jordan did in the bad boy army's continuous malicious fouls, when they faced a misjudgment and misjudgment at home, instead of complaining, they chose to use a more powerful Beat the opponent so they can be successful and get the respect of our fans.

So stop complaining about the whistle like a bitch, this is our home court, and it's the same at your home court, don't say your home court doesn't have a home whistle, you'll laugh my dentures off. "

"Ha ha……"

A group of fans laughed loudly.

After being scolded by the fans of the home team, Dameng and the others blushed, holding their breath and remaining silent.

At the beginning of the second quarter, they fell behind too much, and Dameng played.

Seeing Dameng playing, Zhou Quan also played.

In this game, he will not give Dameng a chance to come back, he has to keep pressing on the floor and rubbing.

The Supersonics attacked, Kendall Gill missed a jumper, Dameng grabbed the rebound, and Mosaic attacked.

Kenny Smith still gave the ball to Horry first, and then transferred it to Dameng. Zhou Quan not only locked his offense, but also completely locked his downward pass angle.

Horry sidled away from Schrempf and slammed the ball down to the floor.

Dameng received the ball, and Rodman's defense speed at the basket was very fast, and he was behind him along the baseline. He immediately turned around, and between dribbles, he entered the paint area in one step.

Zhou Quan, who was in a high position, turned around and rushed down at this time.

He and Rodman's pincers cooperated with each other. Rodman flanked along the bottom line and was responsible for blocking the direction of the dream's turn and slip.

Dameng turned around and dribbled the ball into the paint, and the next moment...

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan leaned forward and took a step forward, stretched out his right arm, and swept with his big hand. When the basketball he pulled up from the floor fell into Dameng's hands, he swept it.

"what?"

The next moment, Dameng jumped up, but he found that the ball was gone.

The ball was grabbed by Rodman, Zhou Quan immediately turned and went down, and accelerated after receiving the ball.

"Steal the ball! Steal the ball again! Iron Fist steals Dameng again, hahaha..." The on-site commentator McGim kept shouting excitedly.

"Oh hoo!"

At this time, the Seattle Center Gymnasium reacted, and the huge cheers sounded again.

"Mosaic can't play this ball anymore, haha, Zhou Quan will definitely steal double figures today, he is in great shape!" Zhang Lili couldn't stop laughing.

The same is true in fact. In just three quarters, Zhou Quan played 31 minutes and sent out 11 steals. Not only did he set his own record for steals in a single game in the regular season, but he also tied the record of 1976 steals in a single game set by Spurs player Larry Kennon in 11.

At this time, the Sonics had already led Mosaic by 31 points. Mosaic gave up in the final quarter, and Zhou Quan also clocked in three quarters. He did not play in the final quarter and lost the opportunity to break this record.

At the end, 75:116, the Sonics beat Mosaic by 41 points, thwarting Dameng's wild words of double-killing the Supersonics and double-killing Zhou Quan.

周权31分钟，22投14中，命中率63.6%，三分球2投1中，10罚10中，轰下39分4篮板10助攻11抢断2盖帽2失误2犯规的三双数据。

大梦33分钟，17投7中，41.2%，10罚8中，拿到22分10篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽8失误4犯规。

"Hey, super center, what about the double-kill Iron Fist that was agreed, and the double-kill Supersonic?"

"Dameng, how does it feel to make 8 turnovers in a single game? Is it a memory, do you want to do it again?"

After the game, a group of local reporters blocked Dameng in the player tunnel, and all kinds of sarcastic questions made him turn green with anger.

After Zhou Quan attended the press conference, he drove away from the central gymnasium with Zhang Lili and the others.

"Xiao Zhou, how does it feel to have 11 steals in a single game?" Zhang Lili asked with a smile.

Zhou Quan shook his head and said, "It's actually very tiring, because when defending, every second, the nerves are tense, and you will feel very tired."

"Concentrate 100%, I was very excited at the time, but I'm sure I'll feel tired afterwards and feel a headache, right?" Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes, it feels like my brain has been hollowed out. It's rare to have a chance to play in this extreme state." Zhou Quan laughed.
