God of NBA point guards

Chapter 311 The Two Clubs

"Charles, the Suns have fallen out of the first tier of teams. What do you think of this change? Do you think it is caused by your lack of ability to lead the team?" The Suns media day, the reporter asked.

Barkley was so angry that his nose was crooked. What kind of bullshit is this?
He said angrily: "We are still a championship team, not all the media are blind. We have strengthened a lot this season, Danny Manning, the No. [-] pick we got, with his help, we will kill Enter the finals and hit the championship."

"Michael Jordan is the most optimistic about the Supersonics, and he is not optimistic about you and Mosaic. What do you think of his attitude?" The reporter asked.

Barkley snorted: "He just wants to kill Iron Fist the most. It's not that our strength is not as good as the Supersonic. In fact, the strength of the Supersonic is just like that, without much reinforcement. Their reinforcement is far inferior to ours. We are Pot [-] team in the West."

On the 3rd, the league and several major TV broadcasters announced the number of national TV broadcasts for the new season.

The Bulls are still number one with 40 games, the Sonics are still second with 37 games, the Knicks are third with 36 games, and the Mosaics are fourth with 32 games.

From the analysis of this data, it can be seen that several major TV broadcasters are also very optimistic about these four first-tier teams.

Once again, the Sonics management was very happy to have such a high number of live broadcasts in the United States. The team reached the finals last season and earned nearly 500 million US dollars. The ball market has jumped from the fourth tier to the second tier. It has reached the scale of Chicago, Houston, Boston, and Miami.

After the average ticket price of the Supersonics skyrocketed by 260% last season, the new season has skyrocketed again by 35% on the basis of last season, which has more than tripled in two seasons. The operation of the season is in a very good state.

Especially after Zhou Quan publicly announced his goals for this season on the media day, the local media and fans responded enthusiastically. The Sonics have even become the most watched professional team in Seattle. Lost to football.

……

1994年11月4号，NBA联盟94/95年常规赛揭幕战开始。

The opening game of the Supersonics is against the Jazz at home. At [-]:[-] p.m., the two sides will announce the starting lineup.

Jazz: Felton Spencer, Karl Malone, David Benoit, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton

Sonics: Matt Geiger, Rodman, Schrempf, Kendall Gill, Joo Kwon

George Carter arranged for Geiger, who is 213 centimeters and 110 kilograms, to play the starting center and use him to fight against Jazz center Spencer who is the same height and 120 kilograms.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by NBC television, and the narrator was James Worthy, a superstar who had just retired from the Lakers, and John Moore, a retired guard from the Spurs in the 80s.

"Make a bet, one dollar, John, the Sonics have a better chance of winning than the Jazz in this game," James Worthy said.

"NO, a dollar is money, and I won't give it to you for nothing." John Moore said decisively.

James Worthy laughed and said: "Sure enough, Iron Fist is John Stockton's nemesis, and it has been recognized in the league."

John Moore shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "The Jazz's lineup has not changed from last season, but the Sonics have strengthened the fifth position, and with the restraint of the Iron Fist against Stockton, the Jazz needs to watch if they want to win. The face of the Sonics, unless the Sonics collectively is not in the state, there is a chance."

James Worthy suddenly sighed: "Iron Fist just signed a super contract of more than 6000 million US dollars, with an average annual salary of 300 million per season, and I played for 1350 seasons, adding up to [-] million US dollars. The ball market is much bigger than we were back then."

John Moore said with a wry smile: "My nine seasons add up to only 200 million, so I need to work now. James, Iron Fist's salary is not a big part of his income. If you think about how much money he makes in a boxing match, you will be more jealous of him." of."

"Oh, don't mention that, okay? When it comes to that, I regret that I didn't cross the border." James Worthy laughed.

"Which project can you cross?" John Moore joked.

"You can't underestimate me. I have also practiced many sports, such as baseball and football." James Worthy laughed.

It was the first game at this time, and because it was the opening game, the supersonic fans didn't boo the visiting team much. When the home team started the game, there were overwhelming cheers. When Zhou Quan came out, the cheers reached the peak.

When Xu Jicheng came to the NBA scene for the first time, he was so excited and nervous that he was sweating profusely. When he saw Zhou Quan appearing in the crowd cheering, he said excitedly: "This scene cannot be seen in China. The atmosphere is far worse than here."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "We don't have such a big stadium in China now, and it would be good if it can seat thousands of people. However, domestic basketball has developed well in the past two years, and it is catching up with football."

"Yep……"

Xu Jicheng nodded again and again: "In the past two years, I have chased a lot. This is all caused by the influence of Zhou Quan and the NBA."

……

Sitting on the bench, Zhou Quan's system panel jumped out.

New Season Mission: Championship.

Task rewards: reward prediction +5, stamina +1.

Last time he lost the finals, Mao didn't get any rewards, and played for nothing for a season. This time, the task requirements were reduced, but the rewards were also less, and there was no reward for the ability to resist injuries +2.

Zhou Quan was a little disappointed. In fact, it is better to replace it with the ability to resist injuries. He wants the ability to resist injuries more.

Just then, a new prompt appeared.

Regular season tasks: Hosts are asked to join 20+10 clubs and 180 clubs during the regular season, with full attendance and an average of more than 35 minutes per game.

Mission rewards: Injury resistance +2, bounce +1, agility +1, strength +1.

"I X!"

Seeing this task, his jaw almost dropped.

Needless to say, the difficulty of this task is hell level, but the rewards are rich, even better than the rewards of the championship.

Especially strength, it means too much to increase strength by 1 without gaining weight.

Moreover, the simultaneous improvement of strength and agility means that his explosive power will also increase, and explosive power means that he will have stronger striking power. In boxing, his heavy striking power will be strengthened.

The first is the requirement of full attendance, which requires him not to have any injuries, even if there is a little injury or illness, he must play with an injury.

Fortunately, the system is very considerate of him, and only requires an average time of more than 35 minutes per game. If there is a slight injury, he can go up and come down after a while.

Needless to say, 20+10 clubs, 20 points and 10 assists are not difficult for him. It is extremely difficult for the so-called 180 clubs to get this data.

The shooting percentage is 50%, the three-point shooting percentage is 40%, and the free throw percentage is 90%, which adds up to 180%. This is the requirement of personal offensive efficiency.

At the same time, it is also required that the shooting percentage in the season should not be less than 300 goals, of which the three-pointers should not be lower than 82, and the free throws should not be lower than 125.

In the history of the league, Larry Bird was the first to enter the 180 club, and he only entered the 180 club twice.

The second player was Mark Price, who entered once.

The third player is his senior Reggie Miller, who entered the 180 club last season.

At present, these three people have entered the 180 club, only four times in total, and even the active No.1 Jordan is not eligible to enter.

What's more, the system's requirements are stricter than those of the league, and it also stipulates full attendance and average playing time per game, making it more difficult to complete.

For him, it is not difficult to score 300 goals, and it is not difficult to make free throws. He can complete these two without any difficulty.

But the difficulty of three-pointers is not small, because it is not very popular to shoot three-pointers now, and the requirement of 82 three-pointers is to hit at least one per game. Based on the shooting rate of 40%, he has to take at least one shot per game. 2.5 three-pointers.

Last season, he made 1.8 of 0.7 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was 38.9%, which did not meet the requirements of the 180 club.

Fortunately, he is doing shooting training. As the shooting training is nearing completion, his basic shooting skills will be better. It is not impossible to reach a 40% three-point shooting percentage.

However, he decided not to shoot too many three-pointers before the shooting training task is completed. After the shooting training task is completed and the basic shooting skills are further improved, he can increase the number of three-pointers, which will make it easier to complete the task.

……

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

Jump ball, Sonic offense.

"brush!"

On the first ball, Schramf carried David Benoit on the left wing and received Zhou Quan's ball. With a back hit, he shook the opponent, then made a jumper and hit a ball.

Jazz attack.

Stockton quickly advanced to the left wing and took the initiative to use the cover of small forward David Benoit to get rid of Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan was faster. After bypassing David Benoit, he blocked him again.

At this time, Schramf quickly assisted in the defense and formed a double-team on Stockton with Zhou Quan. David Benoit who was on the side quickly took a step out, and Stockton immediately passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan reacted too quickly, stealing the ball directly, and then took advantage of the trend to quickly go down.

"Oh oh oh……"

The cheers of the scene began to sound.

"boom!"

After killing the free throw line, he took off, turned 360 degrees in the air, and then made a tomahawk dunk. The Jazz's basket was instantly exploded.

"Oh!"

The moment the basket exploded, the cheers on the scene reached its peak.

"Oh! A quick break after a steal, fancy dunks, and the Iron Fist show begins now." The live commentator Henem Chrisman shouted excitedly.

"Seattlers want to see dunks like this every night," McGim said with a laugh.

Zhang Lili said with a smile at this time: "The Jazz's guard line, plus the small forward, none of them can catch up with Zhou Quan's speed. Failed. The Jazz were indeed restrained by Zhou Quan's team, and they couldn't make waves in the hands of the Supersonics."

Xu Jicheng's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he was very excited to hear the huge cheers in his ears. He smiled and said, "It's different watching the game live. I want to thank Mr. Sun."

"Mr. Xu, don't be too happy, maybe I will replace you next year."

In China, Sun Zhenping, who was watching the game with others on the stage, couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher Sun, do you want to go again?" Someone asked.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Although I can't take care of my family there, it's really good to watch the game live. However, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to go again. After Mr. Xu's one or two seasons, the stage will choose one who doesn't Young people with a family used to go, and those with a family are not suitable."

Seattle, the game continues.

As Zhang Lili said, the Jazz really can't make waves in the hands of the Supersonics, and the Supersonics finally got off to a good start.

周权上场35分钟，18投12中，命中率66.7%，三分球5投2中，8罚8中，轰下34分15助攻4篮板4抢断2盖帽3失误2犯规的数据。

He defended Stockton with only 11 of 2 shots, 6 turnovers, 3 steals and 1 block.

The second game of the Sonics was several days away. On the 9th, the Kings ushered in at home. After two consecutive victories, on the 11th, they ushered in the Suns at home.

However, Barkley has been injured before the new season, and he has been out for at least two weeks, so this Suns team is incomplete.

On the evening of the 11th, the Central Gymnasium.

At 06:30, Zhou Quan's Ferrari drove into the parking lot.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

As soon as he got out of the car, Barkley's voice sounded. Zhou Quan turned around and saw Barkley and a group of Suns players coming over.

"Hey, Flying Pig."

Raising his hand, he greeted with a smile, and said, "You won a lot in my boxing match last time, right? Why don't you invite me to dinner?"

Barkley's face darkened suddenly, I'll give you a hammer.

Thinking of the 20 dollars he lost, he immediately lost interest in talking to Zhou Quan, turned around and left after a cold snort.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

Lightning Kevin Johnson and Zhou Quan greeted each other and followed.

With Barkley absent, the Sonics won their first three consecutive victories, and came to Los Angeles on the 12th.

On this day, the league announced the best player of the first week, which was won by Zhou Quan.

At the same time, the league also announced the season's MVP rankings for the first time, and Zhou Quan ranked first with the strongest data and three consecutive victories.

他三场下来，场均36分钟，场均30.7分4.3篮板14.3助攻4抢断1.7盖帽2.5失误2.8犯规，

Ranks first in the league in assists per game, 53.2% shooting from the field, third in points per game, first in steals per game, and first in blocks per game among defenders. It has reached 6.12, and the passing stability is very high, which can be called the first in the league.

After four consecutive victories, the Sonics ushered in a wave of four away games.

On the 15th, beat the Nets to achieve five consecutive victories. On the 16th, Rodman was injured. The Sonics lost back-to-back away games to the Green Team, their first loss in the new season.

In the next away game on the 23rd, Rodman continued to be absent, and the Supersonics lost to the Jazz. The Supersonics achieved a record of 8 wins and 2 losses.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 24th, the team arrived in San Antonio.

Some media listed the Spurs as the first-tier team, and their strength is indeed good. Admiral David Robinson has entered the league for 5 seasons, all 20+10. The strength of a super center can raise the strength of the team to a higher level. No matter how bad it is, it is also a team in the playoff series.

However, Rodman returned and grabbed 18 rebounds in the game. The Sonics still defeated the Spurs and won their ninth win.

Next, the Supersonics will rush to Houston overnight, and tomorrow they will fight Mosaic back-to-back.
