Los Angeles Daily News: "Iron Fist Slayer, Golf & Boxing Newcomer." ”

The New York Times reported: "Just a show, Tekken should prove his professional crossover prowess through professional competition." ”

The next day, September 16, many media outlets rushed to report.

And Zhou Quan, from this day on, continued to devote his energy to strength training and basketball training.

No matter how much the media questioned his professionalism in the other three sports, he had already benefited, and the Iron Fist generation was now selling around $50,000 a day, and if he could sell two or three thousand pairs of shoes a day, he would have no problem selling at all.

Having tasted the benefits of crossing, he has decided in his heart that he will spare a certain amount of time in the future to continue boxing training, as well as golf training.

Both sports don't require a lot of game time, which is a perfect fit for him and won't affect the NBA game.

In the following period, even the Chinese media reprinted some relevant foreign reports.

Zhou Quan's name, because of the reprint report of the domestic media, entered the sight of the high-level people of the Sports Commission for the first time.

In a subsequent meeting of the middle and high-level, Zhou Quan was mentioned, so there was some discussion.

"The performance of the men's basketball team in the Olympics this time is really, alas! This Zhou Quan heard that he played in the NBA, and the American Dream Team was also full of NBA stars, you said, Zhou Quan played with them, what is his strength? ”

According to foreign media reports, he is also the boss of the Detroit Pistons. This boss should be the meaning of the captain, so analyzed, the strength should be okay. ”

"How do you compare with Wu Qinglong and Adijiang?"

"It's not good to compare, look at those NBA people, all of them are flying away, dunking at every turn, who knows what strength this Zhou Quan has? He knows four sports, and I think his strength should be average, and his energy is too scattered. ”

"Your analysis should be reliable, I think he's just a bastard, an athlete like a jack of all trades, unreliable."

"No matter what his strength is, at least people play in the NBA, we lost so badly this time, shouldn't we know more about the outside? That's where he starts. ”

"From the analysis of foreign media reports, this Zhou Quan's nickname is called the Detroit Killer and the Iron Fist Slaughterer, he should be an international student who went out of China, but he is not from a sports school, and we don't have his files."

"With such a murderous nickname, it can't really be a murderer, a criminal who has absconded, right?"

"Of course not, didn't the foreign media say that he is a Chinese student at UCLA. UCLA is a university in Los Angeles that is quite famous. ”

"That doesn't prove that he's not a criminal who has absconded?"

"That's just as well."

"I think I'll find a way to get in touch with him and find out about him first. Do you have any channels? He is now mainly engaged in basketball, and Comrade Liu Yumin of the basketball department should think of a way. ”

"It seems familiar, but where have you seen it?"

Liu Yumin was recalling carefully at this time, and there was a newspaper in his hand with a photo of Zhou Quan on it.

The last time CCTV broadcast Zhou Quan's highlights, she was busy with the Olympics and didn't notice it, but after knowing Zhou Quan this time, she went to CCTV to ask for those highlights, and she always felt impressed.

……

On September 25th, Comrade Zhang Lili, who was selling beer everywhere, had just returned to his cramped apartment when the landlord downstairs called him to answer the phone, and he hurriedly ran down again.

"Harrow......" he picked up the microphone.

"Is it Comrade Zhang Lili?"

Across from her was a woman, speaking Mandarin.

"I'm Zhang Lili, you're ......"

"Lao Zhang, I'm Liu Yumin!"

"Liu, oh, oh, Liu, how did you find my phone?" Zhang Li didn't react at first, and it took a few seconds to react.

Liu Yumin is the same age as him, he was a member of the national men's basketball team, and Liu Yumin was a member of the national women's basketball team, an old acquaintance, or an old friend.

Later, he retired to coach the capital youth team, and Liu Yumin entered the basketball department of the Sports Commission in 78 years and chose a different development direction.

However, he has achieved nothing now, and he is now the director of the basketball department, in charge of domestic basketball affairs, so he is a little restrained when he receives this call.

However, he still knows this old friend, he has no bureaucratic style, treats his subordinates and friends very kindly, and has a good reputation in the domestic basketball world.

Last time, he contacted a former colleague of the capital team to recommend Zhou Quan to the basketball department, and also considered Liu Yumin, but first, he has been in the United States for many years, and there is no contact information for Liu Yumin, and secondly, the status of the people is different, and he also has great concerns, so he did not find a way to contact Liu Yumin.

But he and Liu Yumin have not been in contact for many years, and they have just moved to Los Angeles, and almost no one in China knows his contact information except for his parents.

Sure enough, Liu Yumin said: "I went to Tsinghua yesterday, and your father, Professor Zhang, gave me your contact number. Lao Zhang, you still call me Lao Liu, I used to greet him like this, we have known each other for decades, what are you doing like this? ”

"Yes, I'll call you Liu, it's more comfortable to call me that." Zhang Li said a little embarrassed.

"Come on, ocean calls are too expensive, I don't have time to talk about this, what do you like to call it. Lao Zhang, this time I want to ask you personally. Liu Yumin said.

"You say."

"Zhou Chuan, maybe it's called Zhou Boxing, I don't know ...... word for this fist."

Before Liu Yumin finished speaking, Zhang Li shouted: "Oh, I know, I know, you are looking for him, right?" His name is Zhou Quan, the right of power. ”

"Okay, looks like I've found the right person. Lao Zhang, do you know his details? Liu Yumin asked happily.

"I've met him a few times, and he invited me to watch him the other day. I don't know much about his situation in China, but I know more about his situation in the United States. Zhang said reasonably.

"Okay, just tell me about his current situation." Liu Yumin said.

Zhang Li said: "He is from Hunan, his father is a cadre of the Changsha Forestry Bureau, not from a sports school, he is very smart, he took the TOEFL after graduating from high school, and then studied abroad." This young man is very aggressive......"

After talking for more than ten minutes, the two ended the phone.

Zhang Lili immediately contacted Zhou Quan: "Xiao Zhou, the basketball department contacted me just now, Liu Yumin, the director of the basketball department, the number one, this is a good thing!" ”

Zhou Quan knew what the director of the basketball department was doing, the head of the domestic basketball world, and asked, "He asked you to go back to be a coach?" ”

"Harm, people are not looking for me, they are looking for you. She couldn't find you, so she came to me. Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Looking for me? They know about me? Zhou Quan was a little surprised.

"There's a lot of attention in this boxing match, and I guess they know you because of that. Xiao Zhou, maybe they want to recruit you. I gave her your contact details and she should contact you. By the way, she is a woman, the same age as me, and she is an old-timer old women's basketball player in our domestic basketball world, so pay attention to the tone of your speech. Zhang said reasonably.

"Female director? Okay, I see. Zhou Quan said.

In China, Liu Yumin sorted out the information about Zhou Quan provided by Zhang Lili, and then began to analyze Zhou Quan's situation.

The possibility of a criminal absconding from colleagues is definitely non-existent, Zhang said that this is just a nickname given to Zhou Quan by the media, and Zhou Quan is a self-financed international student who went to the United States to study through formal channels.

In terms of strength, she was a little surprised, because Zhang Lili said that Zhou Quan's current strength is at the level of a first-class point guard in the NBA, whether it is Wu Qinglong or Adijiang, Zhang Lili made it clear that they are not as good as Zhou Quan.

And Zhang Li also made a comparison, in the NBA Eastern Conference finals just a few months ago, Zhou Quan faced Michael Jordan and got 20+10 data.

Michael Jordan She knows that the star of the American Dream Team, who is very outstanding in the Olympics, is very strong in offense and defense, so if Zhang Li is not lying, Zhou Quan's strength should indeed be very good.

She suddenly thought of Ma Jian, Ma Jian had already fallen out with the department, quit the national team, and went to the United States, with Ma Jian's strength, is there a chance to join the NBA?

She decided to take another look, maybe she should go out and inspect Zhou Quan.

The performance of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games is too poor, not because the players do not work hard, but because the difference in strength is really too big, and the confidence of the players has been shattered.

If the World Championships the following year are like this again, she will not be able to do her job anymore, so she can only take the blame and resign and give up her position to others.

This made her very unwilling, so after some consideration, she made up her mind that if Zhou Quan really had the strength, she would recruit him.

However, there is no precedent to follow for how to recruit, because no one in China has ever gone out to play, and more importantly, Zhou Quan is not from the system, he is not an athlete trained by the state, and the Sports Commission has no jurisdiction over Zhou Quan at all.

In addition, Zhang Lili told her just now that he had asked his former colleagues of the capital team to recommend Zhou Quan to the department, but she didn't know about it.

She has only served as the director of the basketball department for a year, and when she was the deputy director before, she has been in charge of basketball in the capital city since 90, and now she has been in charge.

……

By the end of September, Zhou Quan had completed another round of shooting training.

The step-back jumper is upgraded to level 89, the pull-up jumper is upgraded to level 92, and two and one rounds can be completed respectively.

In addition, his strength training was finally completed, and after almost a year from the end of November last year, he lost weight from 95 kg to 90 kg.

His upper body muscles are softer, more explosive, and more coordinated and agile than they are in a month.

The overall strength remains at level 86, and the absolute strength of the upper limbs is further weakened, but the core and lower body strength are further strengthened.

However, this kilogram of weight change did not increase his bounce, speed, and agility data, but his physical measurement data also improved.

The speed is a little faster than a month ago, and the vertical bounce and the help jump and run touch height have also increased by one centimeter each.

In addition, the increase in speed has improved his breakthrough technique again, and it is now level 90, reaching the first-class breakthrough level.

Six basic breakthrough techniques, one-handed virtual shaking to break through level 90, virtual body to change direction to 87, cross step body to change direction to 86, virtual turning to pass 90, acceleration stride through 92, crushing breakthrough 95.

The crushing breakthrough dropped from level 96 to level 95, which should be due to the decrease in tonnage, but fortunately, the strength did not decrease, so it was only reduced by one level.

The one-handed duffle breakthrough is top-notch, which makes his breakthrough ability in quick ball-handling advancements even stronger.

The improvement of breakthrough ability has improved the offensive ability, which was originally level 85, but now it has been increased to level 87, which is two levels at a time.

"Offense up two levels? It should be that the offensive ability to score on the breakthrough layup is stronger, that is, I will increase the breakthrough score in the future. ”

He estimates that when the pull-up jump shot and step-back jumper are completed for one or two more rounds, the offensive ability will be improved, and if it can be improved to level 90, then his offensive efficiency should be significantly improved compared to last season, and he should no longer be called inefficient.

In addition to these improvements, the 88-level dunk has been upgraded by two levels this time to reach the 90-level dunk, which can be regarded as a first-class dunk.

It's October, the new NBA season is approaching, and the preseason is about to begin.

The NBA season runs from October to June of the following year, and the preseason to the playoffs lasts for eight months, contrary to the NBA, the major league baseball season starts in March every year, April to October is the regular season, and October enters the playoffs, so the new season of the NBA is about to start, and MLB has also entered the most intense playoff stage.

On the night of October 1, Zhou Quan watched an MLB playoff game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers.

In the city of Los Angeles, unlike other cities in the United States, the Lakers in the NBA have the largest family and the largest number of fans, whether it is football or baseball, which is the most popular game in the United States, it is not as good as basketball.

As the boss of the Pistons and a star who has attracted a lot of attention recently, his appearance was welcomed and invited to the court by the host.

"Iron Fist, I heard that Michael Jordan has issued you a battle letter to fight you on the baseball field?" The moderator asked.

Zhou Quan smiled: "He said so, but I don't think he has a chance to join MLB." ”

"According to the current information, you are good at basketball, ice hockey, golf, boxing, and in addition to basketball and ice hockey, the other two have even reached a professional level, so have you ever played baseball?"

"I played it when I was at UCLA."

"You've played a lot of sports?"

"Of course, I have a very wide range of interests in sports and want to try everything."

"Do you want to try it tonight?"

"Of course I want to, but how?"

The host laughed, "What do you like to do on the baseball field?" ”

"Hit the ball."

He said without hesitation.

"Okay, let's have fun and show us your hitting skills. What do you say? The host asked loudly in front of the audience.

"Oh roar!"

The audience's reaction was good, and cheers rang out, all of whom knew that Zhou Quan was a crossover maniac, and they also wanted to know how Zhou Quan's baseball skills were.

Next, under the arrangement of the host, the Dodgers sent a pitcher.

"Anji, don't keep your hand, he can't touch your ball."

"Anji, be serious."

"I know."

The Dodgers reminded pitcher Angie, who reassured them as well.

The pitcher is the soul of the baseball team, if he loses face by an amateur, the morale of the team will be hit, and personally, he can't even get the amateur, how can he mix in the MLB league in the future?

"Hey, brother, what's your name?"

"You can call me Angie."

"Hey, Anji, don't throw it away, I can't catch it."

"Haha, Iron Fist, I won't show mercy, I won't let you take my job."

Zhou Quan and Anji greeted each other with a grin, and then went off the field and began to wear protective gear.

After getting dressed, he greeted the fans and walked onto the field again amid applause.

The host only arranged one pitcher, and there was no one else on the defensive side, and the two belonged to the heads-up nature, purely playing.

"I bet his stick won't touch the ball."

"No, I'm betting he's hitting a home run."

"Haha......"

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and the two ABC TV live commentators grinned.

"This guy is on the show again, do you really think you are omnipotent? Damn crossover maniac! ”

Michael Jordan, who had already returned to Chicago, happened to turn on the TV and tune in to ABC Sports, and it was time for Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan was ready, holding the stick in both hands, and his eyes were firmly looking at Anji's side.

Judging from Anji's attitude, there is a high probability that this ball will not be released, he is 100% prepared and highly concentrated.

He doesn't know this Anji, but it is certain that Anji is not a star player, so his strength must be average.

"Whoosh!"

Under Anji's full thrust, the ball flew straight towards Zhou Quan like a meteor, the height was a little low, but it was a good ball.

"Ding!"

In the next moment, the nerve reaction was super fast, the first-class precision hit broke out, Zhou Quan swung the stick hard, and in the crisp impact sound, the stick head accurately hit the ball, and the ball was hit high and flew to the right field.

"Oh!"

Countless fans at the scene looked at the ball that flew into the night sky, watched the small ball fly over the protective net and fall into the audience, and the exclamation paused.

"Home run! Log runs......"

The roar of the on-site narrator immediately rang out.

"God, Tekken is really a crossover maniac, does his baseball actually have a professional level? Or did it happen? ”

The other narrator said in an unbelievable tone.

"Boom!"

After the fans reacted, there was a whirlwind of cheers at the scene.

Angie was stunned, this damn iron fist actually got a home run on his head?

"It must have been a coincidence, it must have been a coincidence!"

In front of the TV, Jordan muttered.

Next, Anji, who was not convinced, threw again, this time it was a slow ball, Zhou Quan was inexperienced and fooled, messed up the rhythm, and did not receive it, and then the host stopped the heads-up.

Next, Zhou Quan, as a guest of the Tigers, sat on their bench and watched the game, and finally the Tigers won the game.
