God of NBA point guards

Chapter 471 Michael, when will you help us make some extra money?

At noon, the Bulls came to the Central Gymnasium and went to the locker room first.

When I went in, I saw that the wardrobe, TV, chairs, massage chairs, etc. had all been replaced with new ones, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Michael, did you really pay?" Pippen asked.

Jordan glared at Pippen angrily, "Are you stupid? Can they get a new one without paying me?"
When he thought about the labor cost of 10,000+ US dollars, didn't he just change a few wardrobes?I felt sick in my heart.

Pippen quickly changed the topic and said: "I don't know what's going on at the league headquarters. I heard that even David Stern's chair was taken away. Can we still work now?"

"I heard that David Stern's special assistant Adam Silver was the worst. He was beaten until he didn't even recognize his mother." Ron Harper said.

"Okay, what happened a few days ago, what should we talk about now? Get ready for the game." Jordan said solemnly.

At this time, Olajuwon had just had lunch with Barkley and was about to go back to the room to rest for a while. As soon as he arrived in the room, his agent Dan Fagan called.

"Dan?"

"Hakeem, news, Bulls general manager Mr. Jerry Krause just contacted me."

"what?"

Da Meng was startled.

"Hakim?"

"is it possible?"

He asked in a daze after he came to his senses.

"If they trade Mutombo, there's room for next season," Dan Fagan said.

"Pippen only has one year left on his contract. If I sign a big contract, he will be gone. I won't just sign for one year," Dameng said.

"Of course it's a long-term contract, at least five years."

After Dan Fagan said something, he said with some confusion: "He didn't tell me clearly, but I heard what he meant. He should be planning to give you a long-term contract. In this case..."

"He wants to trade Pippen?" Dameng was shocked.

"If I sign you, I won't be able to give Pippen a big contract next season, that's how it should be." Dan Fagan said.

Having said this, he asked again: "Hakeem, if you team up with Michael Jordan, even without Pippen, Ron Harper is still there, and he plays point guard. Iron Fist will definitely guard against Jordan. I think it should also be able to deal with the Sonics." Bar?"

Dameng said excitedly: "Of course."

"That's it for now. Don't tell anyone else about this news, including Barkley." Dan Fagan warned and hung up the phone.

In the evening, the lights of the Seattle Center Arena are bright.

Celebrities, stars, and players are everywhere, chased by hundreds of reporters from all over the world, flashbulbs flashing.

When Jordan and others came out of a restaurant in the stadium, they were surrounded by some reporters.

"Michael, I heard that the stadium is claiming more than 20 US dollars from you. Have you paid it?" a reporter asked loudly.

After hearing this question, Jordan didn't answer at all and looked very bad.

"Michael, how serious is the internal strife in the Bulls locker room? Was there a fight or a quarrel? Did you and Phil Jackson fight again?" a reporter asked.

"NO, there is no internal strife, no." Jordan said through gritted teeth.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that there is no internal strife between you two?" the reporter asked.

"..."

Jordan stared at the reporter, wishing he could punch him in the face.

"Michael, how confident are you in tonight's game?" Another reporter asked.

"We have only one goal, and that is to get the match point. No one can stop us." Jordan said in a firm tone.

"What gives you such confidence? Is it the shooting percentage of less than 4% in G[-]?" a local reporter asked loudly.

"Pfft!"

The other two local reporters burst into laughter.

Jordan was so angry at these words that he violently controlled his temper. He glared at the reporter fiercely, then pushed away the reporter and left without looking back.

At this time, the supersonic bus also entered the Central Stadium.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

Countless SuperSonics fans surrounded the bus until it reached the entrance of the parking lot, and the cheers were louder and louder.

In parking lot No. [-], after the car stopped, Zhou Quan picked up his bag and stood up.

"Iron Fist, I'll do it." Matt Geiger grabbed Zhou Quan's backpack.

Leitner snorted from behind. He has been carrying Zhou Quan's bag this season, but now he quits. Whoever likes to carry it, he doesn't support Iron Fist's stinky feet.

Outside the bus, there were already dozens of media reporters and more than a dozen cameras surrounding the bus. When they saw Zhou Quan coming down, they immediately rushed forward.

"Iron Fist, how are you doing tonight?" a reporter asked loudly.

"Not bad." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Some media broke the news that on the 5th, the day of the anti-racial discrimination demonstrations against the NBA, your agent Roger Philp appeared in New York. Do you think he had anything to do with the demonstrations?" At this time, a New York Times reporter the reporter asked.

Zhou Quan glanced at the reporter, shook his head and said: "Although Rogge is now settled in Seattle, he spends at least two months in New York and several months in Los Angeles every year.

He went to New York this time to discuss my boxing match with Mr. Don King and Mr. Bob Arum. If you link his going to New York with the demonstrations, you know, he will definitely sue you. I also suggest that he sue you. . "

"I'm sorry, I just made a guess based on the media reports. I didn't say that he must have something to do with the demonstrations." The reporter said quickly.

"Iron Fist, many media suggest that you focus on boxing and leave the NBA. What choice will you make?" a reporter asked.

"There are many media who even want me to quit the sports world, but I will not let them get their wish. They are all people with ulterior motives. Because of their huge interests and racial discrimination, they have been creating public opinion that is not good for me." Zhou Quan smiled. said.

After answering this question, he stopped being interviewed.

The game started at eight o'clock, and around seven o'clock, the central gymnasium was already full, when Zeng Li and others entered the stadium.

Sixty people, except Zeng Li sisters and Zhou Jun, the others were either football stars or celebrities. They immediately became the most brilliant group in the Central Gymnasium, and a large number of reporters rushed up to conduct interviews.

"Why do so many people support him?"

In the visiting team's locker room, seeing this scene on TV, Pippen was unconvinced.

Jordan took a look, his face was not good, and he was in a bad mood.He also doesn't understand why so many celebrities support Iron Fist, especially those Hollywood stars, who are almost all A-listers. Why are they willing to support a Chinese?
Mutombo said: "I heard that Iron Fist led them to invest. Rodman made millions last year, and it doubled again this year. The income is hundreds of millions a year, which is much higher than his salary.

The newly listed Amazon Internet company, Iron Fist is the second largest shareholder, must have brought this group of people into it. "

"Dikembe, you and Iron Fist were drafted in the same year, and you also played in the NCAA, right? He didn't take you with him?" Ron Harper asked with envy.

Mutombo shook his head and said: "I haven't played in the NCAA and we are in different districts. I don't have much personal contact with him. At most, we only have a meal when we play away games. But I plan to talk to him and let him know in the future. Take me with you, he is not a stingy person, he should agree."

Pippen's eyes began to glow red, and he said to Jordan calmly: "Michael, when are you going to help us make some extra money? Don't just make money for one person."

Jordan's face was twitching again and again. I haven't found any investment opportunities myself, so why should I take you with me?Don’t you know my college majors are geography and mathematics?It's okay to take you on a trip, and you will definitely not get lost.

At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting list.

Bulls: Mutombo, Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper
SuperSonics: Laettner, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

In the NBC commentary box, Elgin Baylor said: "The G4 game was a one-sided game, which affected the subsequent ratings. I hope this critical G5 game can play a balanced game."

Robertson sighed: "Now the NBA has really developed, and a lot of media have come, most of them overseas media."

Elgin Baylor said: "After the Dream Team, the NBA's overseas development really started, but what really became famous overseas was in the past two years, after Tekken won the professional heavyweight world boxing championship."

"What happened in New York this time is also famous." Robertson suddenly said.

Elgin Baylor coughed twice and kicked his partner. Oscar, we are not an iron fist. We are not as thick as his waist, so why don't we poke the lungs of the league?

In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Liji said: "There is no doubt about Jordan's strength. In the last game, one was because of Zhou Quan's defense, and the other was because of his poor condition, so his performance was very poor.

He will definitely make adjustments in the past two days, so I think this game should be a close game. "

Xu Jicheng said: “The Japanese media described this game as the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and many domestic media quoted this term.

Director Zhang, Zhou Quan is very popular in Japan. He is very popular. There are many media coming every time, and they are all big media. "

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Oh, yes, the Japanese worship the strong. Zhou Quan rarely accepts interviews from the Japanese media, but the Japanese media still flock to him.

As for the Battle of Tianwangshan, it was a key battle that took place in Japan 400 years ago, but the combined number of both sides was only 5. Later, Japan introduced the Battle of Tianwangshan into Go, and now it has also been quoted in the NBA series. above. "

At this time, in the player tunnel, the starting players of the two teams met.

Several media were present, and an NBA camera was also present. The media were all looking forward to something happening here.

"Fei Ren, I heard that you smashed the locker room the day before yesterday and lost more than 20 yuan?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.

"Calm down, I need to calm down, this bastard is playing psychological warfare."

Jordan took a deep breath and turned his head, pretending that he didn't hear these words.

"What's the matter with more than 20? Michael has too much money and can't afford to pay? Even if you call for 200 million, he can still afford to pay." Pippen's unconvinced voice suddenly sounded.

Zhou Quan glanced over, and Pippen ducked behind Jordan.

Jordan was shaking with anger, turned around and glared at Pippen, you idiot, is that a question of whether you can afford compensation?Besides, why should I pay 200 million?
"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

The next player came on the court, and after receiving boos from the visiting team, when the home team came on the field, the Seattle Center Arena erupted in loud cheers.

"Iron Fist! Iron Fist..."

After Zhou Quan finally appeared, the shouts gradually changed.

"Now Zhou Quan's nickname has changed from Iron Fist to Iron Fist King." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"It was originally his boxing fans who called him King of Iron Fist, and now basketball fans have started calling him King of Iron Fist too," Zhang Li said with a smile.

"The momentum is so strong. I hope the SuperSonics will win two consecutive games and successfully win the match point after two consecutive losses." Xu Jicheng said with expectation.

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

Jump ball, Laettner wins, Sonics offense.

Laettner got into the basket and suddenly ran toward the left corner.

Toni Kukoc quickly followed up and prevented Laettner from running out of space.

When Zhou Quan approached the top of the arc, Rodman, who had just entered the basket, suddenly ran towards the high post.

"High pick and roll?" Zhang Lili shouted.

Rodman did not run to Jordan's side, but stood behind Jordan. At this time, Zhou Quan began to break through with the ball.

"Oops!"

Jordan had his back to the basket and couldn't see Rodman's movement, so when Zhou Quan broke through from the right side, he turned around and was blocked by Rodman behind him.

Mutombo followed Rodman out of the basket. When he saw Zhou Quan breaking through with the ball, he immediately blocked Zhou Quan at the free throw line.

But Zhou Quan, while dribbling the ball, turned around and passed by. With his top breakthrough skills, he then broke through Mutombo, reached the basket, and jumped into the air with a one-handed dunk.

Although Mutombo had turned around to pursue the defense, the free throw line was several meters away from the basket, at least two big steps away, and it was too late.

"boom!"

The sound of exploding baskets sounded.

"Oh hoo!"

The Seattle Center Arena suddenly erupted.

"Beautiful! A high pick-and-roll got rid of Jordan. Although Mutombo switched defenses in time, he lost the opportunity to protect the basket after he came out of the basket. His mobility is far inferior to Zhou Quan." Zhang Liangli said excitedly.

"He shouldn't have come out so far, the basket is completely empty." Xu Jicheng laughed.

Zhang Lili immediately shook his head and said: "If he doesn't follow, Zhou Quan will get an open shot. With Zhou Quan's emergency stop jump shooting ability, he doesn't dare to bet on how high the hit rate of open mid-range shots is."

On the sidelines, George Karl applauded happily when he saw the ball was made.

This high pick-and-roll tactic has never been used, not in the regular season, nor in the first four games of the Finals. Today is the first time it has been used.

This tactic is not a rare tactic, it is very common, but it should be difficult for the Bulls to deal with it. Mutombo must either protect the basket and let Iron Fist get the open space, or follow up and let Iron Fist get in.

With Laettner pulling Toni Kukoc out, it's difficult for the Bulls to rely on other positions to cover the basket.

A few steps away, Phil Jackson was thinking.

If other positions are used to cover up defense, it means that his defensive tactics will change. This is a change that he does not want, because several finals have proven that those tactics are useless, and Iron Fist's passing can easily break those double teams. Complementary defense tactics.
