Chapter 546 Pat Riley: What I said, the finals is a war

"The Lakers were swept, the most humiliating series ever." New York Times.

"The Buss family hinted that Jerry West must bear responsibility for the failure of the Western Conference Finals and that he may leave the team he has played for for 40 years." Los Angeles Times.

"With 11 wins and 1 loss, the Sonics advance to the finals first. The Iron Fist King is not far away from his fifth championship!" Detroit Worker Daily.

"Both the Pacers and the Heat are not as strong as the SuperSonics. There is no suspense in the upcoming finals." The Seattle Times.

“Lakers infighting, Buss family intends to oust Jerry West.” Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

"Jerry West: I thought it was Phil Jackson who took the blame, but I didn't expect it was me." New York Sports News.

The next day, there was a lot of media fuss and all kinds of hype.

Zhou Quan ignored the news. While the Eastern Conference finals were still being played, he had to rest as much as possible to recover his physical fitness. There was still the Olympics waiting for him after the finals.

It's been a month since Zhou Yuan was born, and his baby appearance has already come out. He is not ugly, and his mother said he looks just like him when he was a child, but he feels that after combining Zeng Li's genes, he may not be as handsome as him.

Zeng Li has not yet given birth, so he will accompany her when she has nothing to do. In addition to talking about some business matters, she also talks about how to raise her son.

"Hubby, will Zhouzhou do business in the future, or practice sports with you? Abroad, it seems that children are trained according to their interests."

"It's okay for families with conditions, but how to train those without conditions? The elite in the United States engage in elite education and happiness education among ordinary people. Apart from sports, black people have no other industries to excel in. That's why the sports foundation in the United States is so good. "

"Then Zhouzhou won't practice sports in the future?"

"Let's look at his talent and interests. Sports require talent. Just having interest is not enough if you don't have talent. By the way, Ahri, we'd better have a few more children. If we fish with a big net, we can always find someone with good talent."

"Fishing? Haha, how many babies will we have?"

"You need half a dozen, right? The prosperity of my old Zhou family depends on you."

"Bah, at most three children. Whether you can have another son depends on your ability. I can't help you."

"Okay, three children will be three children. You can also engage in sports if you have a daughter, you don't have to have a son."

"That won't work, practicing sports is so hard. Husband, you still want Zhouzhou to engage in sports, right?"

"Well, that's right. I have such a good talent, so he should be more or less talented, right? But if his talent is average, he won't be able to achieve anything famous, so forget it, I can't afford to lose that person."

"Wow!"

Zhou Yuan, who was sleeping, moved his hands and feet a few times and suddenly started crying.

"Look, husband, you look down on him, and the little guy is angry."

"I think it's diarrhea. It smells a little bit."

"Pfft! Why don't you do it quickly?"

Without Zhou Quan having to do anything, a nanny came in immediately to check and found that it was true. Then he took Zhou Yuan out and changed his diaper and washed his butt outside.

"Ali, have Xiaojun and Xiaoyu's affairs been arranged?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Zhouzhou's grandparents have agreed with my mother and father to get married before the Olympics, on August 8."

"Then you have to prepare when you go back."

"They are planning to return to China in the next two days, and dad and Xiao Yezi will go back with them. Mom and I will go back before they get married. When Zhouzhou gets older, it will be safer to fly."

"it is good."

Zhou Quan nodded, took out his cell phone and dialed Zhou Jun's number.

"Hello, brother?"

Zhou Jun is still in Los Angeles, preparing luggage with Zeng Yu.

"Xiaojun, has Xiaoyu passed her postgraduate examination?"

"It's over, brother. We have already booked the flight tickets for the day after tomorrow. You can ask Dad and Xiao Zizi to come over tomorrow. We won't go there."

"Okay, I'll book a flight for them. I'll give you some money later so you and Xiaoyu can plan your wedding. I can't help you either."

"Brother, I still have money on hand. Let's keep it simple. You and your sister-in-law's wedding is not a big one."

"Okay, you can do it as long as you're happy."

"Thank you bro."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Quan said: "Ali, the two of them are going to start a family and start a business. We have to have something to show for it, right?"

Zeng Li nodded and said: "I'll give Xiaoyu a small sum of money for packing, and prepare a set of jewelry, which totals 100 million US dollars. I'll prepare another tea money for Xiaojun, which is about the same. Husband, what do you think?"

Zhou Quan said speechlessly: "Two million? Ah Li, as a sister and sister-in-law, aren't you too stingy?"

"Two million US dollars, sixteen million yuan, still stingy? Then you can arrange it." Zeng Li couldn't help laughing.

"Let's spend 2000 million US dollars. You are just a sister, and I am a younger brother." Zhou Quan said.

"That's okay, hubby, I'll thank you for Xiaoyu." Zeng Li said with a smile.

Zhou Quan waved his hand and was about to speak when his cell phone rang. It was Phillip's call.

"Roger, is something wrong?"

"Zhou, the final judgment date for the lawsuit against Bongis Company has been set, June 6th." Philip said.

"Okay, help me keep an eye on it, I don't have time." Zhou Quan said.

"OK."

A total of eleven companies were sued, and these companies also sued him. Eleven lawsuits have been filed for three years, and the first lawsuit is finally over. It is very troublesome. Zhou Quan does not want to waste time on this, so he will give it all to his legal team.

"By the way, Roger, help me book two tickets. My dad and my sister will go to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"OK."

At this time, the nanny brought little Zhou Yuan in. Little Zhou Yuan groaned and moved his little arms and legs wildly.

"Are Zhouzhou hungry?"

Zeng Li hurriedly took it and nursed it. As soon as Zhou Yuan was in her arms, his little head dug into her chest and he stopped moaning.Zhou Quan stood up and said, "I'm going to go talk to dad about Xiaojun Xiaoyu."

……

The next morning, Zhou Quan drove his father to the airport.Next, he waited at home for the Eastern Conference Finals to end.

The Pacers and the Heat were locked in a tough battle until the tiebreaker. Finally, on the night of June 91th, at 88:[-], the Heat defeated the Pacers on the road and advanced to the finals.

The Heat joined the NBA in 88, and this was the first time they reached the finals, and the entire Miami cheered.

After the game, Gary Payton, who scored 23 points and 13 assists in the tiebreaker, said excitedly in an interview with the media: "Iron Fist King, here I come."

"Gary, how high do you think the Heat's chances are of winning the championship?" the reporter asked.

Gary Payton was silent for a moment, but after two seconds of silence he said excitedly: "Nothing is impossible, anything can happen. I have been waiting for many years, and this is the best opportunity."

"Gary, what's the opportunity?"

The reporter seemed to smell something and immediately asked excitedly.

"A chance to destroy the Iron Fist King."

Gary Payton wanted to say this.

It's a pity that Zhou Quan just played an incredible Western Conference finals. Just because he has a bad mouth doesn't mean he has no brains. He swallowed this sentence again when he reached the door.

"The opportunity to compete on the same field."

When he thought about facing such a terrifying Iron Fist King, his enthusiasm instantly turned to ice, and he finally left with these words.

The fifth-super center Mourning was also very excited and said to the media with tears in his eyes: "It's not easy. We have persisted for many years and finally have a chance to hit the championship."

"Alonzo, what do you think the Heat's chances are of winning the championship?" the reporter asked.

Faced with this problem, Mourning also calmed down like Payton next to him.

Thinking of the terrifying Iron Fist King, who had 50+ points in four consecutive games, averaging 55.5 points per game, sweeping the Lakers, who had defeated the Heat at home and away in the regular season, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said: "We will work hard to play the game, and the result it is not important."

The reporter was surprised, the result is not important, can you just enjoy the process of being defeated by the Iron Fist King?

From Mourning's words, this reporter discovered that the iron-blooded Mourning did not have the courage to openly express his determination to win the championship. From this, he realized the terror and power of the Iron Fist King.

"Reggie, I can't beat him even with gloves. You still can't do it! But don't worry, I'll help you get the gloves." After the game, Zhou Quan called Reggie Miller to comfort him.

"Ugh!"

It seems that the result of the Eastern Conference Finals has hit Reggie Miller. He is always in a bad mood and is not in the mood to talk anymore.

In the tiebreaker, he was blocked by gloves and made 17 of 4 shots. Including three-pointers and free throws, he only scored 15 points.If he could score a few more points and be more efficient, the results would be completely different.

"Senior, come and watch the finals, watch how I hold my gloves, watch how I win the championship." Zhou Quan continued to console him.

"NO, I'm not coming."

Reggie Miller hung up the phone after speaking.

Zhou Quan was startled, shook his head, and complained: "Larry Bird's illness should affect the Eastern Conference Finals. The Assassins will take over the Pacers next season..."

Although they are friends, this is the first time the Assassins coached and he did not have confidence in him. I am afraid that Reggie Miller will continue to be disappointed in the future.

On June 6, major professional media made predictions about the chances of winning the finals.

NBC is the live TV broadcaster of the finals. The TV station's prediction of the finals is that the SuperSonics have an 80% chance of winning.

ESPN even predicts that the Sonics will sweep the Heat in the Finals, with a 90% chance of winning the championship.

The prediction showed a result that David Stern did not want to see. It was one-sided, completely one-sided, and almost all media were more optimistic about the Sonics.

After seeing the results of these media predictions, he was mentally prepared for the Heat to be swept by the Sonics.

The finals will start on June 6. The SuperSonics have home court advantage and a two-three-two home and away game system.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 6th, the Heat arrived in Seattle.At four o'clock, at the request of the media, a press conference was held in the hotel.

"Glove, the major media's predictions of the Heat's winning chances are as high as 32% and as low as only 8%. There are 130 media outlets in the United States that believe the Heat will be swept. Do you agree with these predictions?" asked a reporter from the New York Times. road.

Gary Payton had been simmering with anger for a long time. Although he estimated that his team would probably not be able to beat the Sonics, the media's predictions were too extreme. When he heard this question, he did not hold back his anger. Woke up.

Angry, his brain was suddenly replaced by a dog's brain, and he cursed indiscriminately: "I don't agree! Let a dog predict it, and it will be more accurate than the media's prediction..."

"Gary!"

Pat Riley immediately stopped Gary Payton's outburst.

Payton was forced to shut up by Riley's majesty, but he was so angry that he stood up, pulled out his chair and left.

The Heat's press conference ended unhappy, and Gary Payton was immediately criticized by many media, calling him a dog.

In the evening, the Heat held a tactical meeting in the hotel.

Pat Riley stood at the front with a serious expression. The entire conference room was shrouded in his majesty, and no one dared to speak.

"Gentlemen, I know you don't like the media's predictions for the finals."

"But gentlemen, you also know how powerful the Sonics are. The Sonics' power is only based on the power of the Iron Fist King. The Iron Fist King played a terrifying Western Conference Finals and swept the powerful OK combination, so the media's predictions were one-sided. .”

"Now it's our turn to face the King of Iron Fist. Everyone must cheer up. We must be 100%, [-]%, [-]% ready to face the King of Iron Fist."

"I ask you, no matter who faces the Iron Fist King, to play the strongest defense. You must never let the Iron Fist King take action calmly in front of you, even if you let him lie down."

"Remember, I don't care if you foul or not. Even if you are sent off for six fouls in one minute, you are still our hero."

"Remember, the finals is a war."

"Remember, from the first second, the war will begin."

In Pat Riley's murderous words, everyone in the Heat, from players to coaches, and even management, became nervous and sounded the alarm.
