God of NBA point guards

Chapter 396 Is the Iron Fist Era
At the end of the interview, Zhou Quan greeted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton and other friends, and made an appointment with them to have lunch tomorrow, then said goodbye to the Supersonic fans, and left the stadium with Zeng Li.

After Zhou Quan left, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Wharton, and Reggie Miller stayed to be interviewed by reporters.

"Karim, what do you think of Tekken's performance tonight?" a reporter asked.

The three looked at each other, and Bill Walton said: "Some people say that Tekken averaged 59 points per game in the first two games, mainly because the opponent was too weak, but Tekken's 20+20 and 5*5 performance tonight, and this victory , proving that such a view is not so correct.”

Abdul-Jabbar nodded, then took over the conversation and said, "Mosaic's No. 59 position is indeed too bad. This is indeed an important reason why Tekken scored [-] points in the first two games, but it is definitely not the only reason."

Reggie Miller said disdainfully: "Some people oppose for the sake of opposition, because Iron Fist won't let him come back, everyone knows this, so we don't care about him.

Michael Jordan scored 63 points, lost that game, was swept, and was still blown to the sky. I think Tekken's 60 points in a single game are more valuable than Jordan's 63 points.

The Sonics even have a chance to sweep the mosaic this time. If so, it will prove that Tekken's 60 points are indeed greater than Jordan's 63 points. "

It is said that after Dameng rushed into the locker room and knocked over two chairs, he suddenly remembered the bill in the Seattle Center gymnasium, couldn't help stopping his hands, and sat down angrily.

A frustrated Barkley sighed, pulled up a chair, and sat next to Dameng, followed by Drexler.

"There are only three of us. It doesn't seem to work. We still need good enough role players and substitutes." Dameng glanced at the two of them and said distressedly.

Tomjanovich came over and said, "You guys account for [-]% of the team's points. No one can help you."

"How?" Barkley asked.

"We will all be one year older next year." The glider said in a low mood.

Damengqiang cheered himself up and said: "Don't be afraid, didn't that guy say that, the contracts of several Supersonic players have expired, and their championship lineup will definitely not be able to keep next season."

General manager Steve Patterson nodded and said: "The contracts of Rodman, Schrempf, and Gilliam are all over, and it is impossible for the Supersonics to keep all of them.

Jose Hawkins is a contract year next season. If he wins the championship this time, he may also be traded, otherwise he will become a free agent after the contract ends.

In terms of substitutes, the contract of Vincent Astier has also ended, and McMillan will also be in a contract year next season.And Elvin Johnson's rookie contract is over.

It can be said with certainty that the Sonics' lineup next season will undergo great changes. Even if their boss Ballmer is willing to pursue a three-peat dynasty, it will be difficult to retain this championship lineup. "

Tomjanovich nodded and said: "Rodman, Schramf, and Gilliam are not young anymore, especially Rodman, the three of them definitely want a big contract, and it's a long-term contract. The price the Sonics have to pay to keep them is not small, very large."

Patterson nodded and said, "I don't think it is possible for all three of them to stay. No matter how rich Ballmer is, he is also a businessman. It is impossible to offer veteran contracts to all three main players."

Dameng happily said: "They are all free agents. If the Supersonics can't stay, they can only let them go for nothing. They don't even have bargaining chips. Next season's strength will definitely decline sharply. We have a chance."

"Next year we will reinforce it. The chances are definitely greater than this season." Patterson glanced at Barkley and Drexler and said.

Barkley and Drexler exchanged puzzled looks. What are these three guys doing in front of them?
In fact, the two didn't know that the reason why Tomjanovich and Patterson said these words was to impress them and let them stay after seeing hope.

An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.

"Dameng, Iron Fist has just publicly said that it will sweep you away, what do you think?" the New York Times reporter asked.

"What do I want? I'm Falk Oil!"

Dameng cursed secretly, and said with an extremely hesitant expression: "He is just bragging, the person who can sweep me away has not yet been born."

The reporter smiled and said: "Just to remind you, you were swept by the Lakers, Magician and James Worthy in the first round of the playoffs in 91."

"Pfft!"

There are many reporters laughing at the bottom.

Dameng's face was like the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily: "I didn't have any helpers that time."

"There are two helpers this time, can you avoid being swept?" The reporter immediately asked.

"Of course."

Dameng said angrily.

Barkley and Drexler were awkward and fidgety.

Seeing this, the host hurriedly had the reporter's microphone confiscated and handed it over to a reporter from the Loggey Times next door.

"Charles, you only have one year left on your contract, do you think the Mosaic team will trade you?" the reporter asked.

"Of course not." Barkley said with certainty.

"So what about you, Clyde? Your contract has ended." The reporter turned around and asked.

Drexler hesitated and said, "I'm thinking about it."

"Clyde?" Dameng became anxious.

"Ugh!"

Drexler let out a long sigh.

With his current strength, even if he stays, the management will definitely not give him a big contract, and will only renew the contract at a low price.

In other words, staying has no money and no hope of winning the championship. It is not a good choice at all. His agent has just contacted him to let him leave and find a bigger job in other teams. A contract, preferably a long-term one.

But this is his hometown, and he doesn't want to leave. With the retention of his good friend Hakim, he can't say the words to leave.

"I need to talk to my agent," he said finally.

After the press conference, the three returned to the locker room. Dameng asked the others to leave first, and pulled Barkley to persuade Drexler.

Dameng said: "Clyde, stay here. Just now Patterson and the others have said that the Supersonic lineup will definitely be scattered next season, and we will strengthen it. Our chances next season will be better."

Barkley also said: "Clyde, if you leave now, are you really going to hold that bastard's thigh with Iron Fist?"

Dameng glared at Barkley, are you trying to persuade him to leave?
Barkley blinked. If you dare to stare at me, if you stare at me again, I will hug Iron Fist's thigh after the next season... No, I will go to Michael.

Drexler is really an honest man, and he didn't get angry when he was slapped on the face by Barkley, but his face became more bitter, and the bitterness became bitter melon.

Dameng persuaded again: "Besides, Clyde, with your current offensive efficiency, if you really go to the Supersonics, I am afraid that the main force will not be able to hit it."

"That's right, the Iron Fist guy must be trying to trick you into substituting him for the Supersonics. Hawkins' efficiency is higher than yours, and he will definitely not give up his main position." Barkley quickly agreed.

"And they still want to keep Rodman and the others. There must be no salary space for you. If you go, you can only get a veteran contract, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Why bother?" Dameng said.

Drexler got a little pissed off, you two guys, do you want me to leave?
But he admits that these two guys are indeed reasonable, and the Sonics will definitely not give him any decent contract, and it is really difficult for him to grab the main position from Hawkins.

"Hey, Hakim, what contract do you think management will give me?" he asked after a sigh.

Dameng was overjoyed, and quickly said: "You can't escape with millions, so don't worry."

Drexler nodded and said, "Then I'll discuss it with my agent and let's talk about it after the Western Conference Finals."

Dameng nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the two of them: "The next thing we have to do is to avoid being swept away. We must not be swept away by that bastard Iron Fist in the Western Conference finals. I will never accept the fate of being swept away. "

"Ah."

Glider and Barkley also nodded immediately.

They all understand in their hearts that once they are swept away, the team will lose any hope and their morale will be completely destroyed. Even if they are still hugging each other next season, they will just sink together and rot in Houston. Sell ​​tickets to the boss.

……

On the 25th, not only the American media, but hundreds of media around the world reported last night's G3 game in the Western Conference finals, and wrote a special book about Zhou Quan's 5*5 data in the second playoffs.

"The Tekken King won the second league playoffs 5*5, he is the greatest super point guard!" Tokyo Daily.

"The Iron Fist Will Finally Surpass Magic Johnson." Seattle Post.

"Iron Fist, the most versatile super point guard." Detroit Worker Daily.

"my country's famous professional heavyweight world champion Zhou Quan performed well in last night's NBA playoff game..." Xinhua reported.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Quan woke up and felt pretty good. He didn't have many dreams last night, which should be the reason why the consumption of the G3 battle was not too high. After adjusting tonight, the G4 battle should be in a pretty good state.

At noon, he and Zeng Li invited friends to dinner, and more than 20 people came.

That night, the Eastern Conference Finals G3 game started.

As a result, the Magic lost at home, 86:67, and the Bulls got the match point.

乔丹发挥一般，14投仅5中，命中率只有35.7%，11罚仅6中，拿到17分7篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽的数据。

Pippen made 14 of 11 shots, a hit rate of 78.6%, and scored 27 points.

The Bulls shot only 43.5% from the field, but they made good three-pointers, making 16 of 8 shots and a true shooting percentage of 52%.

The Magic performed even worse. Hardaway made only 24 of 8 shots, 33.3% from the field, 9 of 2 three-pointers, 22.2% from the field, and only 18 points.

O'Neal was similar, scoring 19 points on 8 of 17 shots. As a super center, his shooting percentage was only 42.1%, especially from free throws.

The entire Magic team shot only 33.8%, only 23 of 5 three-pointers, a poor 21.7%, only 24 of 10 free throws, only 41.7% of free throws, and only 38.3% of true shooting.

In this game, he saw the Bulls' terrifying perimeter defensive ability, forcing the Magic's perimeter players to throw three-pointers blindly outside, unable to break through at all.

And relying on a strong perimeter defense, the Magic's perimeter players can't get open opportunities, and their shooting percentages are appallingly low.

Hardaway, whom the Magic valued, did not play an offense that attracted double-teams, and Jordan defended him to death by himself.

"You deserve to lose, you will be swept away."

After the game, he sent a text to O'Neal and went to bed.

Before, he was worried that if the Bulls swept the Magic, they would gain a physical advantage in the finals, but now that he leads [-]-[-], it is possible to sweep the Mosaic, so he is not worried anymore.

There is no burden in the heart, there are fewer distracting thoughts, the energy is restrained, and the meditation is quickly entered. After going to bed for a while, I entered the meditation.

"Can I be the only one to blame?"

Ten minutes later, in Orlando, O'Neill felt very wronged after seeing Zhou Quan's text message.

That Penny is playing like shit and the Bulls are throwing all their defenses at him, can he be blamed?

……

On the 26th, the Western Conference Finals G4 battle.

周权没有打出G1G2战的超级表现，也没有打出G3战的全能表现，只能说表现中规中矩，24投14中，三分球7投3中，10罚9中，拿到了40分7篮板16助攻7抢断3盖帽3失误3犯规的数据，投篮命中率58.3%。

Schramf scored 24 points, shooting 54.5% from the field. In addition, Gilliam, Hawkins, and Escheel scored in double figures. Five of the team scored in double figures, and two of them scored 20+.

马赛克方面，大梦竭力发挥，轰下了32分16篮板6助攻3抢断5盖帽5失误5犯规的数据，但巴克利和德雷克斯勒只分别拿到16分与15分，且效率低下。

In the end, the Sonics defeated Mosaic again, eliminated their opponents with a big score of [-] to [-], and advanced to the finals in a sweeping manner.

"Oh hoo!"

"Finals, here we come!"

"Sweep! Sweep..."

After the game, the Sonics were boiling.

Unexpectedly, he was swept away, and fell to the Sonics and Iron Fist in the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years. When the final whistle sounded, Olajuwon had tears in his eyes. After the game, he immediately left the field with hatred and hurried into the In the player tunnel, several reporters failed to catch up with him.

Barkley and Drexler were also very frustrated and left the court with their heads down.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan for reaching the finals for the fourth time. Congratulations to the Sonics for sweeping three rounds and reaching the finals with a record of 11 victories."

At the end of the game, Zhang Lili and Xu Jicheng were excited.

In the ESPN commentary seat, the assassin smiled and said: "Mosaic fell to the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years, and this time he was swept away. I think there is no need to keep the Big Three lineup. Let's tear it down and rebuild, otherwise Barkley's contract will expire next year." He's definitely going to run away."

Lambiel said disdainfully: "If he can't make it to the finals with a super center, where else can he go? To the Bulls?
Going to the Bulls may not necessarily win against the Supersonics. Jordan is getting older, and the Tekken kid has entered his peak period again. "

"Then it will be the era of iron fist." The assassin said excitedly.

"You are so happy, what does it matter to you?" Lambiel said disdainfully.

"He is my brother." The assassin said seriously.

Ranbir snorted coldly and said nothing more.
