God of NBA point guards

Chapter 429 Introducing Dream Team Members

Hanks Doley suddenly asked: "Grant, Iron Fist KO Holyfield in three rounds, is it possible for him to replace the old fox and become one of the four kings?"

Grant Mewes was taken aback, thought for a moment and then smiled: "The four kings of heavyweight boxing, Michael Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bow, age They are not young anymore, they were all born in the 60s.

Tyson is 66 years old, Riddick Bow is 67 years old, Lewis is 65 years old, Holyfield is the oldest, in October 62, he will be 10 years old next month, and Iron Fist was born in 34 years, they are not people of the same era .

Hanks, I don't think the Iron Fist King needs to replace Holyfield as the four kings, he should become the king of heavyweight boxing in the new era. "

Hanks Doley nodded, and said with regret: "Among the four heavenly kings, neither Tyson nor Lewis has fought against the other three.

Among them, Rick Dibow once rejected Lewis' challenge and gave up the mandatory defending battle. He even threw the WBC gold belt into the trash can at the press conference.

Holyfield has only played against Riddick Bow, winning one and losing two.And Riddick Bow, apart from Holyfield, has not played against the other two.

In other words, among the four kings, there are only three boxing matches between Holyfield and Riddick Bow. This is a pity for the heavyweight boxing world, and there are too few fights between top boxing champions. "

Grant Mewes nodded and said, "They don't want to lose. They are afraid of each other. It's really a pity, but they haven't retired yet, and they still have a chance."

"Crack clap..."

At this time, Zhou Quan on the boxing ring put on his golden belt, and took photos with the media reporters with Zeng Li. The entire boxing ring was illuminated by flashlights.

"Iron Fist, you didn't get hit hard tonight. Do you intend to defend your title for the second time in the shortest possible time?" After the photo was taken, a reporter asked loudly.

Zhou Quan replied with a smile: "There is no such plan. I didn't have a good rest this offseason, so I won't have a second title defense in a short time."

Philip and Arum arranged a grand celebration party, and a lot of the world's most famous promoters gathered around Zhou Quan, with the sole purpose of becoming Zhou Quan's promoters.

Zhou Quan and Arum didn't sign a long-term contract, and each fight counted as one, so the promotion rights for his next boxing match became popular.

Tyson, Lewis, and Riddick Bao are also by Zhou Quan's side. Now that Zhou Quan has successfully defended his title, all three of them want to fight Zhou Quan.

Among the three, only Riddick Bow currently has a WBO gold belt, and Tyson is about to compete for the WBA gold belt.

Zhou Quan understood what these people meant, and if he fought with him, he could get the WBC gold belt, gain both fame and fortune, and if he lost, he could make a lot of money.

He wanted to fight the other three heavenly kings, but time was too tight.

At this time Philip came over, sat down and said, "Zhou, Mr. Ludois just said that Holyfield wants to fight a second battle."

Zhou Quan shook his head and said: "The new season is very important. It is related to whether we can defend the dynasty. This offseason ends here. As for next year, I mean, the boxing match with Michael and the three of them is the priority."

"This is the most correct choice."

"That's right, Iron Fist. Holyfield failed the challenge. He is not qualified to fight you again. Don't fight him, fight me first."

"Iron Fist, I will be the first to fight with you. I will definitely win the WBA title at No. 7. Then next year we will have a boxing championship match. Whoever wins will be the double champion."

"Riddick Bao, you rejected my challenge back then and threw the gold belt into the trash can in public. Do you have the courage to fight me now?"

"That's right, Riddick Bao, don't you look down on the WBC title? Why do you want to fight Iron Fist so much? Is it for money?"

"Hey, you two guys, I have a title now, do you have it? You two guys don't want to take my chance."

Tyson and the three of them nodded happily, and started talking in a hurry. After talking, the three of them suddenly became infighting, and Riddick Bao was targeted by Tyson and Lewis.

Zhou Quan sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. Anyway, there was still a year to go, so he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

And he has to discuss with the WBC, when will the next defending match be scheduled.

The next day, the news of the defending battle hit the headlines of countless media around the world, and the name of Iron Fist became even more brilliant.

In the following time, Zhou Quan entered a real rest, and practiced sleeping alchemy with Zeng Li every night.

Of course, there is also a lot of yin and yang and joint exercises, and Zeng Li is determined to practice Yuanying.

On the night of the 7th, Tyson defeated his opponent, grabbed his opponent's WBA gold belt, and became the world boxing champion again after several years.

Tyson's appearance fee is as high as 3000 million US dollars, but the PPV income of this World Boxing Championship is not as good as Zhou Quan's defending battle, only sold 217 million, almost half.

But it's not how much Tyson's popularity has dropped. His highest PPV sales volume is 300 million, which proves that his popularity is still there.

Arum, a well-known agent and promoter in the professional boxing world, said: "There are many reasons why Tekken King's PPV is so high and its popularity is so high.

First, it can actually be seen that although Michael Tyson’s strength is still very strong, he is no longer as good as he was at his peak, and Iron Fist King’s style of play is similar to Tyson’s, which is also very entertaining. This is the most important thing. With his strength, he has every chance to replace Tyson.

Second, Iron Fist's chances of exposure are much higher than Tyson's, which provides him with a huge base of popularity and fans.

Third, Iron Fist is the greatest crossover on the planet, and he can attract different people to watch his fights.I think under his attraction, there will be more boxing fans and NBA fans.

Fourth, Iron Fist is a hundred times more handsome than Michael. "

Zhou Quan and Zeng Li didn't go back to Seattle after watching Tyson's boxing match, but went to Los Angeles, and then took a super cruise to South America.

Last month, Mr. Ballmer disclosed to him a piece of land listed in Brazil, which has 5.1 acres and 206 square kilometers. The listing price is 1.66 million US dollars, or 3200 US dollars per acre.

There are many other specific conditions of the land. For example, there is a natural freshwater lake of 15 square kilometers, three rivers, a forest area of ​​38 square kilometers, and an arable area of ​​136 square kilometers. There is a small town with a population of more than 200 people. 19 kilometers of coastline, and more.

The situation is good. Now he has so much cash on hand. He has made a lot of money in this defending battle. He can either buy this land and invest a sum of money to start a farm for long-term investment, or invest the cash on hand. He has not yet decided on other investments, such as the rapidly developing financial securities industry in the United States.

However, he has already sent Philip to do the investigation, accompanied by a few people from a professional investigation company, and it will not be too late to make a decision after the investigation is clear.

His idea is still inclined to buy a farm. Now that he has a lot of stock investment on hand, he can't invest all of it on it. He needs to make some safer investments, and the farm is suitable.

While Zhou Kwon traveled to South America, NBA deals continued.

Mosaic team, after Dawson broke up the deal about the big dream, he contacted Tim Hardaway, who entered the free market, and got the star point guard in.

Hardaway averaged 15 points, 8 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season, but he had a bad time in the Warriors. The decline in data was due to the decline in status, not the decline in strength. He is still an All-Star point guard and was selected three times. All-Star substitute, once the best second team and once the third team.

After the glider left, a space of $900 million was vacated. Dawson gave Hardaway a five-year $5 million contract, but only $3000 million next season, and up to $250 million in the last season. Mosaic still has a lot to offer. Large spaces can be reinforced.

With the introduction of Tim Hardaway and Barkley by his side, Dameng saw hope, his heart settled down, and he stopped making trouble with the management.

After completing the signing, the Houston media was immediately full of confidence in Mosaic's new season, and other mainstream media also believed that the Mosaic team in the new season was stronger than last season's Big Three lineup, and it was still a championship-level team. Have the strength to challenge the supersonic speed.

On September 9, the Sonics completed a signing and introduced a member of the Dream Team from the free market, Kristen Laettner, the 6 No. 92 pick.

Leitner is 211 cm tall and can play the fourth and fifth positions. He has a good offense around the basket and is good at mid-range and long-range shots.

The Timberwolves have all-star insider Tom Gugliota and Kevin Garnett, the No. 95 pick in the first round in 5. They have no salary space to renew Laettner, so they chose to let him go.

The Sonics have more than 500 million space left. Whithit gave Laettner a 4-year long-term contract of 2000 million US dollars. The salary for the next season is 200 million, the last year is 800 million, and the middle two years are 500 million each. , the final year is a player option.

After the introduction of Laettner, Whithit left two fringe men from last season, insider Steve Scheffler, re-signed a one-year basic salary contract of 28 US dollars, and forward swingman David Wen Gate is $50.

Then he signed Terry Cummings, the No. 82 pick in 35, with a basic salary. Cummings is [-] years old and can play the fourth and fifth positions. The second team and the third team, but did not win the championship. I came to the Supersonics to rush to the championship. Although I am old, I still have a little bit of fuel.

The former center Sam Perkins was signed back from the free market, using the $220 million mid-level regulations, and continued to strengthen the ability to stretch the inside line to prepare for the Bulls.

On this day, Whithit notified Zhou Quan, who was still in South America, of the 12-man roster for the new season.

Centers: Laettner, Matt Geiger, Steve Scheffler

Forwards: Rodman, Schrempf, Sam Perkins, Terry Cummings

Guards: Zhou Kwon, Hawkins, Drexler, McMillan, David Wingate
Zhou Quan took a look, the starting lineup and the bench lineup are not bad, especially the bench lineup is better than the previous three seasons.

Drexler and Hawkins rotate, the scoring ability of the bench lineup is better than that of the previous Ashtier, McMillan can still play, the defense is still online, and there are Sam Perkins and Matt Geiger inside, The strength of the substitute lineup is enhanced, and the pressure on the main lineup is reduced.

In terms of interior, Laettner is good at mid-range shooting. 60% of his offense is mid-range shooting, 40% of his offense is long two-pointers, and Sam Perkins, a substitute, can shoot three-pointers. Borah went out of the penalty area so that the outside line could break in and play.

And Laettner's offense at the basket and low post is not bad, 67% of the offense is in the paint, [-]% of the offense is at the basket, and the basket has a [-]% shooting rate.

Of course, if facing Mutombo, he may not be able to play such a basket attack, which is a point that needs attention.

It is said that the style of play is a bit soft. In the NCAA, he can kill the Quartet, and even suppressed the limelight of O'Neal and Mourning. Therefore, he was selected for the Dream Team, but after entering the league, his performance was not as glorious as it was in the NCAA period.

Some media even said that he was selected for the Dream Team because he is white and is the hope of white American basketball.

Zhou Kwon and Lightner played in the NCAA. They are not very familiar with each other, but they have a little impression. Then because Lightner was selected for the Dream Team, the impression deepened.

As far as he knows, Leitner's image was not very good at Duke. He was famous for his bad mouth and bullying. He often called his teammates some insulting nicknames and even spit on his teammates' faces. Sometimes, he often encourages his teammates by beating and cursing, which is quite cruel to his own people.

In the words of the old coach K, Laettner is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to win. If he can't control it in the locker room, he will burn the entire team together with himself.

As Laettner's teammate at Duke University, Grant Hill's evaluation of Laettner is: "I think he is a villain, there is no better adjective for him than this."

Regarding Grant Hill's words, Leitner also admitted positively: "Yes, I think I am a villain, so what?"

In short, in Zhou Quan's view, Leitner is almost a copy of Lambiel. The image of the son, the dirty and rebellious and wild style of play, the unscrupulous style, the surface is polite, but in fact he never looks at you directly, stepping on his face. When you were there, I was still looking down on you from above.

Of course, this is also in line with the usual image of Duke University. They are bullying, they are in groups, they are arrogant and rude, and they are all rich second generations.

But as far as he knew, Leitner was different from Lambiel. He was not a rich second generation, but from a poor background. The entire Duke basketball team, that is, Grant Hill was a young man.

Regarding Laettner's soft style of play, he thinks that the outside rumors are not true. This is actually a rather dirty guy with constant small movements such as black elbows, but a tenacious guy.
