Next, George Karl and Zhou Quan explained the tactics of the new season.

He himself is known for his fast attack, and this is also in line with Zhou Quan's characteristics, so the tactics of the new season are also based on fast attack.

At the same time, his defensive tactics are ferocious pinch strikes and quick rotation changes, a style that has been recognized by Zhou Quan.

However, in order to suit Zhou Quan's style of play, the new season will greatly increase the ball possession of point guards and reduce the transfer of the ball, and others will mainly play without the ball, including the main point guard Kendall Gill.

As the head coach, George Karl is also very clear about Zhou Quan's role and ability, and he has been studying how to play in the new season since the trade happened.

He hasn't used a star like Zhou Quan, and he doesn't like the superstar style of play, and Sean Kemp is only used as an ordinary main player in his hands.

As long as Zhou Quan is on the field, the ball is generally in his hand, which is completely contrary to his previous tactics, so at the beginning, he actually had some rejection.

But Zhou's performances last season, especially in the playoffs and finals, let him know that the star could bring him a championship and that he had to make a change.

At the same time, he also knows that the new boss bought the supersonic because of Zhou Quan, and if he doesn't make changes, then he will definitely leave.

So in the end he made a change, changed his style, and made a compromise.

……

The next day, Zhou Quan visited Microsoft and signed a global endorsement contract for three years and $12 million.

After two days in Seattle, Zhou Quan rushed back to Los Angeles.

Philip stayed there for the time being, helping him buy a house there, and he was going to buy a large luxury villa in Seattle.

The environment here is good, the best suitable city in the United States to live, the security is good, and Detroit is two worlds, there are many Chinese, and parents can also come to live in the future.

……

As the clock approached October, Zhou Quan's first real professional boxing match was about to begin.

On the first day, many NBA stars have come to Los Angeles to watch boxing matches.

Rodman, the Assassin, Joe Dumas, and the three had arrived in Los Angeles a few days earlier.

Supersonic also came over, Schramf, Kendall Gill, and Michael Cage came to Los Angeles to cheer for Zhou Quan, contacted in advance, and the three came directly to Zhou Quan's boxing training room.

"Hey, boss."

When Kendall Gil met, he called the boss and shouted very smoothly.

"Iron Fist."

Schramf and Michael Cage greeted decently.

"You're welcome to come and see my boxing match." Zhou Quan greeted politely.

Kendall Gil said eagerly, "Boss, you know what, I've also done boxing. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Quan was a little surprised, since he had practiced, why didn't you go on that when he fought with Larry Johnson and Mourning?

During this time, he practiced strength in the morning, practiced explosiveness, and enhanced striking power, then practiced precision hitting training, practiced boxing pace and dodge in the afternoon, and conducted actual combat training with sparring partners in the evening, and the training intensity was very large.

Because the weight of the professional heavyweight class is 91.25 kilograms, he has gained weight during this time and now weighs 92 kilograms.

This tonnage can ensure that his athletic quality will not be affected, and the three items of bounce, speed, and agility are still maintained at level 94.

Since there is no relegation, he intends to maintain his tonnage at 92 kg in the future, so that his impact will be stronger.

Two kilograms of flesh, he did not hang on the upper body, but increased core strength and back muscles.

Boxing is not about the upper body strength is the better, the focus is on the overall strength, the core strength is the most critical, and the back muscle groups can also increase the striking power.

With this weight gain, his strength actually increased from 86 to 87, which was higher than when his tonnage was 95 kilograms.

With his height, such strength is very powerful on the basketball court, and he estimates that if he touches Jordan now, his strength will definitely be no worse than Jordan.

However, this level of strength does not have any advantage in the heavyweight ring, the tonnage is still too small, Tyson is shorter than him, and the tonnage is kept at 100 kilograms.

But he has top-notch dodging skills, as well as top-notch precision striking skills, both of which are what make him stand in the professional ring.

……

Number two, boxing day.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Great Western Forum Arena was already full.

Zhou Quan did not join the Lakers, but his popularity and influence, after winning the championship, are no longer the same as this time last year, and this time it is a real crossover, so the attention is super large, and the influence is also very large.

His mat match is the first game, and he is responsible for the task of warming up, and a fighter who is not well-known is not qualified to take the lead.

At eight o'clock and twenty o'clock, the lights of the audience went out, and the two pillars of bright lights pointed to the entrance, and the passionate voice of the host of the scene sounded:

"Red Boxer, NBA League Assists and Steals Double Champion, 92/93 Season Champion, Finals FMVP Winner, Iron Fist Slaughterer, Zhou Zhou ...... Zhou Quan! ”

Zhou Quan, dressed in a red cloak, stepped into the spot of light and raised his hand to wave to the audience.

"Oooooooooo......oo

The Great Western Forum Arena resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

"He is barefoot and 188 centimeters tall, has an arm span of 202 centimeters, weighs 92 kilograms, and has a professional record of three wins and three wins, all of which are knockouts." The moderator continued to introduce the material.

"Oooooooooo......oo

Zhou Quan made a series of combo strikes, which quickly pushed the cheers up.

To the left of the channel, are Agent Philip, Assassin Thomas, Big Worm Rodman, Joe Dumas, Michael Cage, Schramf, Kendall Gill, O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Glider and others.

On the right side of the aisle, are Roberts Bigmouth, Christina Yerry, Tom Cruise, Stallone, Mitch Rock, Will Smith, Robert DeRooney, Denzel Washington, President of Skechers, CEO of Cadillac, and several other executives who endorse the brand.

Some of these stars on the right, he has only seen and not dealt with much, such as Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Mitch Rock, Robert DeRonney and others, I don't know how these people will welcome him here.

What he didn't know was that almost all of these Hollywood stars had played the role of boxers, had been professionally trained, and were all fanatical fans of boxing, and even several of them had participated in amateur boxing competitions, and some even participated in them often.

"Hey, Iron Fist, I'm looking forward to your victory." While hugging, Stallone shouted loudly in Zhou Quan's ear.

"Of course." Zhou Quan replied loudly.

"Hey."

Christina Yerry gently hugged Zhou Quan.

"Hey."

Zhou Quan knew that he couldn't stand Yeri, and he was a little speechless.

Because of this, in this interaction with Zeng Huaqian, after learning some of the other party's ideas, he decisively stepped on the brakes.

"Julia, I heard that you are divorced, why didn't you tell me?" He said as he hugged Roberts.

Roberts glared at him angrily and said, "Tell you what to do, let you congratulate me, or let you soak me?" ”

"Uh......"

Zhou Quan was speechless, he actually wanted to say, we are all in the window period now, and our youth is limited, so don't waste time.

"Hey, Tekken, your dodging skills are amazing, let me see the shadows of Ali and Michael, I hope you can show me again tonight." Denzel Washington shouted loudly in Zhou Quan's ear.

"You'll see." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Fumping fists or hugging them one by one, he followed the passage to the front.

The front row is full of celebrities from all walks of life.

Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon, Larry Johnson, Oakley, Karl Malone, he saw these NBA opponents at a glance.

"Hey, my defeated generals, are you here to bless me?" He yelled at the guys.

Jordan and the others heard it, and there was a greasy smell, we came to see you make a fool of yourself, don't you have a little self-knowledge?

"Iron Fist, I'll press the rope for you."

Coming under the ring, Rodman climbed up first.

"I'll do it too."

Kendall Gil is also going to climb up.

"Let me come."

With both hands in his hands, O'Neill grabbed Kendall Gill, tossed it aside, and climbed up very nimbly.

Tonight's boxing bout will be broadcast by ESPN, which is a paid program of PPV, and the commentators are Jack Jerome and Ross Harveys.

"A lot of the markets show that the casinos don't like Iron Fist, and a lot of professional fighters don't like him either, Rose, what do you think?" Jack Jerome said.

Ross Haveis smiled: "Indeed, this boxing match should be regarded as Iron Fist's real first professional boxing match, and the opponent Polish bad boy is a very strong boxer, the boxing experience of both sides is not at the same level at all, Iron Fist will be tested tonight, if he loses, it will be a major blow to his cross-border journey." ”

"Michael, did you buy it?" Oakley asked.

"Bought it." Jordan said.

"Who did you buy?" Oakley asked.

Jordan glared at Oakley and said angrily: "Nonsense, do you think I'll buy Iron Fist?" ”

"I ordered fifty thousand, Michael, how much did you buy?" Barkley asked curiously.

"Three hundred thousand." Jordan said.

"So much?" Barkley and the others were shocked.

Jordan analyzed very old-fashionedly: "Many boxing professional media have analyzed that the Polish bad boy is very strong, and he was only because he was not famous enough to fight with people with high rankings, so the world ranking did not rise fast enough, he is the kind of fighter whose strength is greater than his fame, he is very experienced, and the dodging ability of Iron Fist is not enough at all." ”

"It's less."

When Barkley heard it, he felt right and regretted it.

"You can also buy it, place an order by phone." Jordan said.

"That's right."

"I'll give another 100,000."

"I'll give another 50,000."

"I'll buy another 100,000."

Barkley and the others hurriedly took out their mobile phones and began to place orders.

When Zhou Quan stood in the ring, the host began to summon his opponent.

"Black boxer, Polish bad boy, Andrew Golotta! With a height of 193 cm, an arm span of 201 cm, and a weight of 108 kg, he has won all 16 professional fights, knocking out opponents 13 times and knocking out opponents once. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The fame was not enough, Golota's appearance was far inferior to Zhou Quan's, and the Great Western Forum Arena only resounded with some coping applause.

got into the ring, and the referee told the rules and asked the two to prepare.

"Watch out for his dodges and strikes, those are his two strong points. Andrew, use your experience to defeat him, your experience is a thousand times his. ”

"Be careful of his badness, his strength is good, but his punches are too bad, and his striking parts often have problems, he

It's likely to hit your crotch in an unfavorable situation, and will bite you when he hugs you, don't get irritated by him, control your emotions, and then use your dodges and precision strikes to finish him, I'm sure you have the strength. ”

The coaches on both sides seized the time to make the final advice.

Zhou Quan's coach was still the same Hans, and finally said: "Iron Fist, be patient, he is not your previous garbage opponent, don't think about knocking him out in one round." ”

"Bell!"

“Box!”

As the bell rang, the referee gave an order, and the first round began.

With his fists on his head, Andrew Golotta gritted his mouthguards, exhaled between his teeth, and pushed forward.

His tonnage is big, and the big tonnage brings better resistance to strikes, as well as stronger striking power, and the coach gave him a tactic to seize the opportunity to hit heavy punches.

But he didn't dare to be careless, and the fight was very tight, because according to limited information, this guy who crossed the border to snatch food from these professional fighters should have a very accurate blow.

Zhou Quan saw that his opponent was stealing, but the defense was very solid, so he took a step back and then walked around to the left.

The tactics given to him by Hans, according to the characteristics of small tonnage, are mainly flexible, fully mobilize the opponent, and then seize the opportunity to strike the opponent.

Seeing Zhou Quan wrapping around him, the experienced Golota immediately made a provocative move, let go of the hug, stretched out his fist and hooked Zhou Quan, signaling Zhou Quan to hit him.

This is also the coach's tactic, because judging by the NBA data, this guy called Iron Fist Slayer is very short-tempered and very impulsive.

"Oh, the Polish bad boy made a provocation." On the ESPN commentary seat, Jack Jerome said excitedly.

Iron Fist responded, and he lowered the cradle. Rose Harvey suddenly shouted.

Just as Zhou Quan put down the hug, Golota knew that his provocative tactics had succeeded, and he reacted immediately, quickly grabbing and landing a jab that went straight to his opponent's face.

Zhou Quan shook slightly, and flashed a jab by a fraction of a second, but Golotta's backhand hook came over.

"Be careful!"

Offstage, Christina Yeri and Roberts exclaimed at the same time.

"Dodge!"

Jack Jerome let out a loud shout.

"Whew!"

Zhou Quan dived, also by a fraction of a centimeter, flashing his swing fist.

"Flash again." Ross Harvey shouted.

"Sure enough, there was a dodge."

Golota's eyes winced, and a third punch was thrown out.

It was a right uppercut that went straight to Zhou Quan's chin as he dived.

With three consecutive punches, he has already landed a combination punch, the first two punches forced his opponent to dive, and the third punch should have paid off in his expectations.

"Whew!"

But Zhou Quan's nervous reaction speed was too fast, and he reacted to dodge at the first time, and at the same time, his control of space also reached the top level because of his full-level spatial imagination.

At this time, the bodies of the two were already in an inner state, and they were very close.

In the next moment, with the homeopathic momentum of turning back to the right behind him, Zhou Quan hooked his right arm and blasted out the first punch, the right hook.

Golota just hit a right uppercut, the right side was wide open, but the protection on the left side was still there, the left fist arm instinctively grappled, and the next moment, with a bang, Zhou Quan's right fist hit the left fist arm.

"Fight back!" Jack Jerome shouted.

"It's a pity!"

Ross Harvey immediately shouted.

"It's dangerous!"

Golota quickly stepped back half a step in an attempt to pull away.

But Zhou Quan moved faster than him, and with a forward sliding step, he quickly closed the distance he had just pulled away, and at the same time, an unusually accurate straight front hand punch slammed into his face.

"Bang!"

He held his arms for protection and blocked a punch again.

In the next moment, Zhou Quan landed a left flat hook into Golotta's right temple, which was also very accurate, forcing his opponent to quickly step back and quickly lean back with his upper body.

"Right uptick!"

Ross Harvey suddenly shouted.

The left flat hook punched the air, and Zhou Quan took advantage of the opponent's retreat and leaned back, and then slid forward again to grab it, and hit a right upper hook.

Gorota was too experienced to know that his opponent was going to take advantage of the momentum to land a combination punch, so after dropping back, he stepped back again and then went around to defuse Zhou's attack.

The offensive and defense of the two sides came to an end, and at the same time, the confrontation began again to look for fighters.

"Yes, Iron Fist was very good, he immediately seized the opportunity to play a wave of combo attacks after a series of dodges, and the desire to attack was very strong." Jack Jerome said excitedly.

"The bad boy is really experienced and got rid of the Iron Fist attack in time." Ross Harvey said.

Next, both sides continued to attack tentatively to get to the bottom of their opponents, and the first round ended.

"In the first round, after the first offense and defense, both sides were cautious, Iron Fist hit the opponent twice effectively, Golota did not hit effectively, but Iron Fist was not able to land a heavy punch, it should be said that the first round was evenly matched." Ross Harvey said.

Jack Jerome enthused: "From the first round, Tekken does have a professional level, just like his golf balls.

The Polish bad boy is very strong, he even has the strength to challenge the world champion, but he is not qualified to do so at the moment, and in the first round, he has no way to play an advantage in front of Zhou Quan.

This shows that Tekken's dodging ability is really very strong, and it may really be close to the dodging level of Ali and Iron Michael. ”

"It's a 12-round match, and hopefully both sides can play more exciting rounds." Ross Harvey said.

"The tonnage of Iron Fist is too small, the heavy punches are relatively not heavy enough, but he has an advantage in movement, and he is good at dodging, and the first round showed the advantage of precision strikes, and his physical fitness is also very strong, I think the best way for the Polish bad boy to win is to strengthen his attack and get a knockout as soon as possible, if he drags into a hard fight, with his tonnage, the physical strength will suffer." Jack Jerome said.
