Jordan also noticed the news on the boat, and he felt that it was time to go back, and if he didn't go back, he would be blown into dried fish by the sea breeze.

At noon on this day, in New York, Jordan's yacht returned to the dock.

David Falkel waited by the dockside, with a well-connected New York Times reporter.

It is a matter of time before he appears in public, and Jordan cannot never appear in the eyes of the media, so after discussing with Jordan, he is ready to take the opportunity of Zhou Quan's wave of public opinion to return to the public eye.

"Michael, how's the harvest?" The journalist asked.

"Not bad, I caught a 212-pound tuna, it's beautiful!" Jordan was wearing sunglasses, but with a smile on his face, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Oh, that's great."

The reporter exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then asked, "Michael, the Detroit people say it's the Iron Fist era now, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Everybody knows, it's just a Detroit joke." That's why Jordan is in a good mood, he replied with a smile.

"The Postman has a California boxing license, and his professional boxing fight with Iron Fist is likely to take place soon, will you be there to support him?"

"Oh, then I'm going to congratulate him. Yes, I would definitely go. ”

"Michael, Tekken is going to have some crossovers in the offseason, do you have any plans for that? Or go to a professional fishing tournament? ”

Jordan's eyes widened, it's a good idea, but why do I want to punch you so much?

As soon as the reporter looked at Jordan's appearance, he knew that this question made Jordan unhappy, so he quickly changed the question and asked: "By the way, Michael, the Pistons just won the G1 battle of the Finals, do you think the Suns have a chance to win the championship?" ”

Jordan had heard the news on the radio, saying: "Of course there is a chance, this is a series, and winning or losing a game does not determine the final result. ”

"Do you have anything to say to Barkley?"

"Charles, this is your best chance to win the championship, come on!"

"Are you going to go to the finals?"

"No, I'm going to play golf."

"And will you play professional golf?"

"Yes, I have that plan."

"What do you think of the book 'Jordan's Law'?" In the end, the reporter risked turning his face with Jordan and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

The corners of Jordan's eyes twitched, and according to the words he had discussed with Falck, he calmly replied: "When people are tired of eating potato chips and Coca-Cola, they want to change the taste, they want to see something negative, that's all." ”

Wrapping up the interview, David Falke drove out of the dock with Jordan after the reporters left.

"Michael, although you have an iron fist to attract the firepower of the media for you, you still have to keep a low profile during this time."

"I know." Jordan said unhappily.

"In addition, I have already got a celebrity wild card for you at the PGA Tour San Francisco on July 10th, and the same is true for Zhou Quan, you try to perform better."

"Now go straight to the golf course."

"Michael, when do you plan to resume basketball training after the golf tournament?"

"I've rested enough, starting tomorrow, I'll be doing golf in the morning, strength training in the afternoon, and basketball in the evening."

"The competition between the Flyers and Tekken is starting to extend to other sports, so let's wait and see who can lead the way in other sports to achieve excellent professional results." New york times.

"The flying man who starts again will be even stronger!" Chicago Daily News.

"The God of Gamblers is back!"

The news that Jordan had appeared in New York and was planning to play professional golf immediately spread to the United States, and all the media's attention immediately began to shift from the finals to him.

However, because of Zhou Quan's wave of public opinion, there seems to be less media targeting him than before.

……

On the 19th, the day of the G2 match of the finals.

Pistons: Secali, Dennis Rodman, Mark Aguirre, Joe Dumas, Zhou Quan

Suns: Mark West, Charles Barkley, Richard, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

At half past seven, on the CCTV commentary seat, Sun Zhenping said: "The two sides still use the starting lineup of the G1 battle, which shows that their offensive and defensive tactics should not change much." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The lineup is there, and there are no secret hole cards, everyone must have repeatedly studied the opponent, so the rest is the on-the-spot command and adaptability, the players' on-the-field execution, and on-the-spot performance." ”

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Knife to knife, gun to gun, it's hard fighting." ”

Zhang Li suddenly said with some concern: "The Detroit media is a little too excited, I don't know if this wave of public opinion in the past two days will affect the state of the team?" ”

Sun Zhenping also sighed and said: "It's too messy, how do I feel that the media in Detroit is an undercover agent for the Suns?" Deliberately placed a small Monday. ”

"Poof!"

Zhang reasonably laughed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, the away team's locker room, the atmosphere is okay, after all, this wave of public opinion about the 'Iron Fist Era' only involves Zhou Quan, and has no impact on others, and with Zhou Quan's willpower, it is not greatly affected.

Zhou Quan opened the system and took a look, this season, especially since the playoffs, some of his skills

And the quality has been somewhat improved.

Anticipation and ball sense, ball control, passing, etc., have each been improved by one level, and are now 85, 93, 94, and 93 respectively.

Breakthrough and organization and offense have also been upgraded by one level each, and they are now all level 91.

In terms of shooting style, the pull-up jump shot has been upgraded from 93 to 94, and the throwing shot has been improved from 92 to 93.

The improvement in strength is also the reason why he played better in the playoffs.

"Let's go."

When the time came, he led the other four out of the locker room.

When he came to the players' tunnel, he was greeted by Barkley's taunt: "Look, the era of Iron Fist is coming, are we going to greet it?" Ha ha! ”

However, he was the only one who laughed, and the other four members of the Suns team did not laugh, all looking at Zhou Quan.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Quan walked over with a smile.

"Click, click, click......"

The reporters on both sides of the team, plus a camera from ABC TV, opened the camera at this time, and the on-site director of ABC also switched the camera to the players' tunnel.

A team of security guards also immediately became nervous and prepared for contingencies.

Barkley's laughter stopped abruptly and said defensively, "Iron Fist, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhou Quan walked to a meter before Barkley stopped and smiled: "Fliggy, I guarantee you will never win the championship in your life." ”

Barkley said disdainfully, "It's up to you? ”

Zhou Quan nodded and spit out a sentence: "It's up to me." ”

"Oh!"

At the scene, in front of the TV, countless people were exclaiming.

"Charles, what are you doing?"

Maureen, who was at the scene, was very helpless, she could be a friend, why did she choose to be a mortal enemy?

"Haha......"

Barkley burst out laughing as if he had heard the joke.

Lightning was also a little unconvinced, when it came to fighting, he didn't dare to provoke Iron Fist, so he didn't laugh just now, but Iron Fist's words, he definitely didn't accept it.

"Iron Fist, that's a big deal, right? The game of basketball is not something you can decide alone, your teammates, your opponents, are all part of it, and there is no real God on the court. ”

After expressing his opinion, he persuaded very tactfully: "The Detroit media say that the Iron Fist era is coming, and that is just their hype for sales, but your sentence is not suitable, it will bring you trouble." ”

Zhou Quan admired Kevin Johnson's calmness, a person with intelligence, control and overall vision, and there was nothing hostile to him.

He smiled and nodded at the lightning bolt and said, "This is my attitude, I put it here, and I will achieve it with the strongest willpower, it is the driving force for me to move forward." ”

Kevin Johnson and Barkley were stunned at the same time, their eyes couldn't help shrinking, they felt a chill from these words, and a powerful fighting spirit.

The visitors play next.

"Iron Fist Age! Age of the Iron Fist...... Haha......"

"It's up to me! It's up to me! Oh haha, you know what, you're a clown......"

After it was Zhou Quan's turn to appear in the finale, countless mockery sounded in the Meixi Arena.

Zhou Quan appeared under the taunts of the sky, still smiling, but in his chest, the blood was already boiling, and the battle intent was rushing.

"I hope Zhou Quan will not be affected." Zhang Li sighed.

"It's too much, this is what the media said, not what Zhou Quan said." Sun Zhenping said angrily.

'It's the away side and anything that's in the favour of the home team, it's going to be used.' Zhang said reasonably.

Sun Zhenping stared at Zhou Quan on the screen in front of him, and suddenly said: "In the 84 military parade, I was on the scene, Zhang guided, I think Zhou Quan's momentum now is somewhat similar to those veterans who came out of the war." ”

"Huh?" Zhang was stunned.

Sun Zhenping said again: "It's all the same...... Murderous! ”

At 7:58, the referee blew the whistle and the players from both sides were ready to play.

"We are tough, tough, iron-willed, and we are fearless......"

In front of the Pistons' bench, the roar of the Pistons crowd sounded, and less than 300 Pistons fans were also roaring as much as they could, although their voices were immediately extinguished by countless Suns fans, but they were never extinguished.

"Guys, what do we want?" Zhou Quan roared.

"Victory! Victory! Victory ......"

The shouts of the pistons rang out again, and they were alive and there.

Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly: "The Pistons shouted out their team training, which is the embodiment of their will and morale, and I hope they can conflict with the Suns' home court, break the cage, and soar into the sky." ”

"It's on, it's on!"

Today is Sunday, and countless people in China are already sitting in front of the TV at this time.

……

At eight o'clock, the game began.

"Smack!"

Jumping the ball, Secali jumped up and flicked the ball towards Zhou Quan's side.

Zhou Quan received the ball, and suddenly a back dribble, with his left hand, began to break through from the left side of the lightning.

The lightning quickly retreated, he then accelerated the stride over the person, the right shoulder hung the opponent's right shoulder, the lightning was knocked backwards and staggered, and taking this opportunity, he exerted his strength again, burst over, and hit the left elbow area, which was directly a stop-and-go jump shot, not giving other defenders a chance to make up for the defense.

In this ball, his hands are very stable and full of confidence.

"Brush!"

The next moment, the water splashed and the basketball went down through the basket with precision.

"Beautiful pull-up jump shots, I feel like Iron Fist's pull-up jump shots are no longer weaker than Jordan's." Bill Wharton said with a smile.

Williams said: "Iron Fist's noodle technique is already very comprehensive, and now there is a lack of back-to-back technique. When he first entered the league last season, he played a lot of outside backs, but his skills were not good enough, mainly relying on tonnage advantages to play back, and later after the improvement of noodle basket technology, he mainly used noodle baskets. ”

Bill Wharton nodded: "In terms of back, the main thing right now is to turn around and retreat and make a jumper that is not bad, with a first-class level, and nothing else." ”

At this time, the Suns attacked, Barkley hit Rodman with his back, and he turned over and missed a jumper.

A little off, the basketball rebounded straight ahead, and was taken by Zhou Quan, who rushed down from the high position, and the Pistons attacked.

"Oh, Zhou Quan is advancing very quickly, does he want to play fast and play a stronger impact?" Zhang said reasonably.

At this time, Zhou Quan had already rushed to the right of the top of the arc, and the inside lines of both sides had not yet had time to fall into position, and between the hands and knives, his attack was over.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and hit the shot.

"Oh, the right elbow pull-up jump shot, just now the left elbow pull-up jump shot, it's also very decisive, tonight's iron fist, has it turned into a killer?" Bill Wharton exclaimed.

"At the beginning, I felt the indescribable sharpness from the iron fist, like a carefully sharpened knife, is it the psychological change caused by the media public opinion in the past two days? Negative public opinion became his whetstone? Incredible! Williams exclaimed in the same way.

"Kevin, stare at him!"

Westphal shouted at the lightning.

Lightning gasped and nodded, the first ball, he was burst, just the second ball, he caught up, but he thought that Iron Fist would go straight in, but he didn't expect to predict wrong, and rushed straight overhead.

Change, constantly changing, it is difficult to predict the subsequent technical moves, which is what he feels from Zhou Quan, and it is also the reason why he is difficult to defend.

At this time, he understood why the Bulls were eliminated, and why Jordan couldn't prevent Zhou Quan, it was really too difficult to prevent.

At this time, Richard served, he received the ball one step below the free throw line, then turned and advanced, only two steps forward, and when he dribbled downward, the ball just left his hand, and he found that the iron fist in front of him pounced in one step.

"It's going to be bad!"

After a pause in my heart, my first reaction was to protect the ball, but it was too late.

"Smack!"

With the sound of the blow, his right hand that was fishing down for the ball was empty, and then the iron fist rushed up and squeezed him to the side, bursting over, and he quickly turned around and chased.

"Oh, it's broken...... Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

On the Pistons bench, all the substitutes stood up.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan, who broke the ball in a high position, had already taken off, his body was pulled back into a bow, and a tomahawk split dunk exploded the Suns' basket.

"Oh roar!"

The Pistons bench, the Pistons fans, cheered instantly.

"Sure enough, it's murderous!" Zhang Li exclaimed.

"Defend!"

Zhou Quan shouted.

"Yes."

Rodman and the others replied loudly.

"These guys, how do you deal with them?"

Iron Fist made three shots and three hits, the Pistons' morale was so strong, his own side couldn't score a point, Barkley was a little messy in his heart, he had already lost the G1 battle, and he was afraid of losing the G2 battle.
