The next day, Mosaic arrived in Seattle.

In the last game, Mosaic lost to the Nuggets at home, got their second loss of the new season, and the record is 22-2, which is still the first in the league.

The SuperSonics are 20-3, with one less game to lose, 1.5 wins, and if this one wins, it will be 21-3, only 0.5 wins away from Mosaic.

"We don't allow a losing streak, tomorrow night we're going to double kill the supersonics, I'm going to double kill the iron fist." Big Dream Olajuwon put down his rhetoric in an interview with the media at the airport.

"If the playoffs and the SuperSonics meet, are you confident of winning the series?" A reporter asked.

"We're not a Knicks, and we're going to kill the supersonic in that round." Da Meng said confidently.

"This bastard, actually sarcastic us, actually stepped on me?" Ewing was very angry when he saw this sentence of Big Dream from the media reports.

O'Neal is not counted, among the three super centers, because they are all Jordan's friends, Ewing and Da Meng's relationship is okay, and there are some off-court interactions, and the two of them have little off-court interaction with David Robinson, and the admiral is a high-achieving student, and he doesn't disdain to associate with rough people like them.

But in fact, the competition of the three is everywhere, All-Star, regular season honors, playoffs, and now with the addition of O'Neal, the competition between the four super centers is even more intense.

For example, last season, Olajuwon was selected for the best team, and Ewing was only selected for the second team, which is the competition for hard honors, you get it, I don't have it.

Now seeing Da Meng sarcastically stomping on him, Ewing is a little uncomfortable.

……

December 25th, Christmas Day.

That night, only two games were scheduled in the NBA, with the Magic playing the Bulls away and Mosaic playing the SuperSonics away.

At half past seven, SuperSonics and Mosaic announced their starting lists.

Mosaics: Olajuwon, Ostisope, Robert Horry, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith

Hypersonics: Sam Perkins, Rodman, Schramf, Kendall Gill, Zhou Quan

The game was broadcast live across the United States by ABC.

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "Big Dream wants to double kill the iron fist, home and away double kill the supersonic, very confident." But there are four games between them in the regular season this season, and I'm curious, why doesn't he say four kills Iron Fist, four kills SuperSonics? ”

Lewis Williams laughed: "Wait a minute, let our colleague ask him this question, maybe he missed two games?" ”

"Haha, yes." Bill Wharton laughed.

CCTV also had a live broadcast, and Zhang Li said at this time: "Whoever dies tonight depends on who performs better between Zhou Quan and Dameng." ”

Sun Zhenping said: "The state is good and bad, anyway, I don't believe that Mosaic has the strength to kill supersound, Da Meng and Zhou Quan are not in the right position, and he doesn't have the strength to kill the iron fist." ”

……

"Victory! Victory ......"

Seattle Center Gymnasium, under the leadership of Zhou Quan, resounded with the shouts of the supersonic team and fans, the momentum was high, and its sound shook the sky.

At eight o'clock, the game began.

Jump ball, mosaic offense.

Jet Kenny Smith holds the ball and observes the situation on the field while guarding against Zhou Quan, who is one step away.

"Squeak!"

Seeing the opportunity, when the opponent's ball just pressed to the ground, Zhou Quan suddenly grabbed it and reached out to poke the ball between leaning over.

Kenny Smith was so frightened that he quickly pulled the ball back, and made a mistake in the hurry, and the person took a step back, but the ball was not pulled, and Zhou Quan took advantage of the situation and grabbed the ball.

"Break the ball, Iron Fist starts to break the ball!"

Henem Chrisman, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan immediately started to go down quickly after breaking the ball, breaking through from the right side, Kenny Smith moved sideways to intercept a step, he immediately accelerated and stepped over, and directly hit the opponent, but when he rushed over, he was secretly dragged by the opponent A jersey, and the speed did not come up for the first time.

At this time, the big dream under the basket has begun to catch up, and the speed is extremely fast.

Zhou Quan carried Kenny Smith under the basket with his left elbow and made a one-handed layup.

"Tick!"

The jet was in a hurry, pulling people, and at the same time as the whistle sounded, Zhou Quan's right hand threw the ball to the basket.

"Smack!"

A figure behind him came with a hurricane, and in the air, a slap fan flew the basketball on the basket and went directly out of the left sideline.

"Oh, big dreams?"

The on-site commentator Heanem Chrisman exclaimed in surprise and immediately reacted: "Interference ball, this is interference ball!" ”

"The ball was already right above the basket and he violated the cylinder of the basket." McJim shouted.

At this time, the referee ran up and signaled Kenny Smith to foul and add a free throw, and Da Meng's blocking action was after the whistle, a technical foul, and a supersonic free throw.

"Oh roar!"

The audience suddenly boiled.

The cover is not counted, and he was blown a technical offender, and Da Meng's face suddenly stinked.

Zhou Quan secretly praised Dameng: "This bastard is running so fast!" ”

"Brush!"

"Brush!"

He first added a penalty to the shot, then a technical foul, and hit again.

"This time the offense and defense are wonderful, and the game is 2+1+1, beautiful!" Zhang Li laughed.

"But if it's away, it probably won't be like that. Since the new season, the media in the United States has been hyping up the negative news about Zhou Quan, and I feel the same as Jordan last season. Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

Zhang Li nodded a little heavily: "The American media is like this, whoever is popular will hype whom, especially some negative news, which is very popular." ”

On the field, Mosaic attacked.

At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan blocked Kenny Smith's downward passing angle, and Smith immediately passed the ball to Robert Horry, a small forward on the left three-point line.

Schramf threw his hands up and swung them to block Horry's downward passing angle, which Hori hoked low on the left wing.

"Flank!"

At the moment when his ball was passed, on the sidelines, Supersonic coach George Karl burst into passionate cheers.

High position, Zhou Quan quickly pounced.

Under the basket, Rodman pounced.

"Three-person bag!"

Zhang Li shouted.

In the low position on the left wing, Da Meng just received the lob, and the three-person bag had already arrived at his side, and there was no chance to shoot, so he could only hold the ball high with both hands, ready to pass.

Horry ran 45 degrees from the three-point line to the bottom left corner, but Schramf followed, and the catch was not good.

Kenny Smith, the jet at the top of the arc, ran to the left wing, with no one around.

While Zhou Quan completed the bag, he knew that Da Meng had no possibility of making a move, and he did not forget to use the advantage of his full-level panoramic vision.

With a slight swing of his head, he saw the jet's movement in the corner of his left eye, and he judged that Da Meng would definitely pass the ball to the jet.

Thanks to the full-level panoramic vision, when his head swayed, the afterglow vision in the corner of his right eye was still locked on the big dream, and his every move was very clear.

In the next moment, Da Meng's hands suddenly threw at the top of his head, in the direction of the jet.

At this moment, the strength of the 96-level nerve reaction speed was perfectly reflected, and Da Meng's passing action was like a flare gun on the 100-meter starting line, making him jump up in an instant.

"Smack!"

The top-notch precision striking effect was presented at the same time, and a pair of big hands stretched out, directly confiscating the basketball that Da Meng had just passed out.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, break the ball! It's the perfect rugby aerial interception, haha......" Henem Chrisman, the on-site commentator, laughed excitedly.

"Oh roar!"

The moment the steal occurred, the audience suddenly boiled.

"What a quick reaction speed!" Bill Wharton also exclaimed.

"Zhou Quan's reaction speed!" Zhang said excitedly.

Da Meng regretted not making a fake move first, he thought that he had the advantage of height and arm span, and there would be no problem with a sudden pass, but there was no time for him to regret it, Zhou Quan turned around and dribbled and ran wildly, and he had already started to go fast, and he quickly pulled out his feet and chased after him.

Kenny Smith on the three-point line has returned to the defense, and Vernon Maxwell on the other wing has also returned to the backcourt.

One step behind Zhou Quan, there is also a big dream of chasing, the speed is comparable to that of a defender, its speed is incomparable, and Rodman and Perkins, who are in the same position as him, are lagging behind.

Zhou Quan killed two meters in front of the two, suddenly slowed down, then jumped with the ball, and when he slid forward, he threw the ball to the basket with one hand with his right hand.

The big dream behind him chased the hat and swept away.

The two in front of them also jumped and blocked, but the cap was empty, this was a throw, and the defensive height was a cut off the boss.

"Get in!"

Sun Zhenping shouted.

"Brush!"

The water splashed, and Zhou Quan threw a hit.

"Oh roar!"

At Seattle Center Stadium, there was a huge cheer.

"Beautiful! In the opening week, Zhou Quan was in a hot state, and after two steals, he scored 6 points in a row. Zhang said excitedly.

Sun Zhenping smiled: "This defensive state is obviously better than the last mosaic." ”

Zhang Li explained with a smile: "It's just the regular season, 82 games, it's impossible to play every game, it will be tiring."

Especially away, the opponent's home team must want to win more, the away team will look at the situation, the state will generally be closed, the home team will play better, and the whistle will be a little biased towards the home team. ”

Sun Zhenping joked: "So yesterday Da Meng only said double kill supersonic, not four kills." ”

Zhang Li couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "The supersonic defense itself is strong, and the team that concedes the least points in the west can be said to have a slightly stronger overall defensive effect than Mosaic, of course, this is from the perspective of losing points."

If Da Meng dares to say such crazy words as four kills, which angers the supersonic players, then he will not have good fruit to eat, and it is normal for the supersonic defense to make a big move, and it is normal to get injured. ”

Mosaic attack, under the blockade of Zhou Quan, Kenny Smith could not pass the ball to Dameng in the low post, or to Horry first.

Horry hit sideways with his back and suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball down.

This pass speed is faster than the hanging ball, Zhou Quan went down to the bag in time, Rodman assisted from the basket, but Da Meng had already noticed Rodman's assistance defense behind him, and immediately turned up after receiving the ball, and Thorpe under the basket received the ball and made a layup.

"Smack!"

At this time, Zhou Quan, who came down from a high position, arrived in time, hit accurately in the air, and directly slapped the ball into the sky.

"Oooh......"

After two steals, another big hat, and the cap is the opponent's power forward, the adrenaline of the supersonic fans has exploded, and the shouts of excitement are non-stop.

The ball landed on the right sideline of the paint area, which was picked up by Ostisorp, Zhou Quan switched to defend and defended with a small defense, and Thorpe did not hesitate to dribble and lean inside.

Leaning forward, Zhou Quan used his shoulders and elbows to resist Thorpe's lower back, his feet were rooted, nailed to the floor like a nail, the lower plate was very stable, and the whole person was like a horse rejection stake, so that Thorpe could not move an inch.

"How is that possible?"

Arched twice, the 110-kilogram Thorpe suddenly found that he couldn't arch Zhou Quan?

In the next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly flashed to the side, Thorpe fell backwards and fell to the ground with a bang, and the ball was picked up by Zhou Quan.

"Oooooooooo......oo

The shouts of the Seattle Center Arena did not go down, and the decibel height rose up a notch again.

"The point guard guards the big forward, this is the power, the iron fist is good!" Bill Wharton yelled excitedly.

At this time, Zhou Quan passed the ball, and the fast Kendall Gill received the ball and went wildly, shook off Maxwell, who couldn't catch up, and made a successful layup.

"3 steals and 1 block, Zhou Quan played the most exciting defense at the beginning, such a state, today the SuperSonics are decided!" Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

In the first quarter, Zhou Quan played 10 minutes before he got off the court, and he was brave on the defensive end, sending 5 steals and 1 block in a single quarter, plus 8 of 10 shots, all of which were two-point shots, of which 5 fast breaks were all made, and 3 of 5 shots in the positional battle, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scored 22 points and received 3 assists.

Supersonic shots were as high as 22 in ten minutes, while Mosaic had seven turnovers and only 14 shots, eight fewer shots in one quarter.

With Zhou Quan's strong defensive performance, when he left the court, at 14:30, the SuperSonics had a 16-point lead.

Bill Wharton exclaimed: "Just like Big Dream in the last game against the SuperSonics, this time, it's Iron Fist's turn to use his defense to beat the mosaic, haha!" ”

"It's too strong! Iron Fist's stealing ability is too strong, 5 steals in a single quarter, can I say he is the most powerful steal king in history? Lewis Williams also exclaimed.

Bill Wharton excitedly said: "The reaction is super fast, the anticipation is first-class, the step action is fast, the arms are long, and as we said before, he has a very good talent for precision strikes, a lot of space, which is very good for tackles, very accurate stabbing balls, and all kinds of abilities and qualities combine to form his tackling ability."

Lewis, I agree with you, Tekken is really the strongest steal king in NBA history. No, it should be said that it is the most powerful steal king in basketball history. ”

"Zhou Quan's steal is really breathtaking!" On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li praised again and again.

"If you continue to fight, it shouldn't be difficult for Iron Fist to hit a triple-double today." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"There is hope."

Zhang Reasonable smiled: "Zhou Quan worked so the defensive end today, first, he lost on the court, lost to Da Meng's defense and all-round performance, today is the home field, he definitely wants to win back." The second is that yesterday Da Meng said that he would complete the double kill of home and away, which should have angered Zhou Quan. ”

At 18:34 of the first quarter, the SuperSonics led by 16 points.

Da Meng sat on the bench, wiping his sweat and complaining: "That bastard just broke my ball, he hit my wrist, the referee should have seen it, he didn't blow it, the home whistle is too obvious!" ”

He was also stunned today, Zhou Quan broke him twice in a single quarter, made 3 mistakes in a single quarter, made 2 of 5 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.

"I also saw him flip his wrists, and he didn't blow it." Kenny Smith complained.

"I saw him walking." Maxwell complained.

Behind the bench, an old fan in his sixties and seventies shouted: "Hey, boys, the weak will complain about this and that, and the strong will only beat the opponent with absolute strength."

Just like Tekken did in the Finals tie-break, just like Michael Jordan in the Bad Boys' constant fouls, when they faced a misjudgment and misjudged home whistle, they didn't complain, but chose to beat their opponents with a stronger performance, so they can succeed and gain the respect of our fans.

So don't complain about the whistle like a, this is our home stadium, and the same is true in your home stadium, don't say you don't have a home whistle and you'll laugh off my dentures. ”

"Haha......"

A crowd of fans laughed loudly.

was reprimanded by the home team's fans, Da Meng and the others had red faces and held their breath silently.

At the beginning of the second quarter, I fell behind too much and played with a big dream.

Seeing the big dream playing, Zhou Quan also played.

In this game, he will not give Da Meng a chance to turn the tables, and he will keep rubbing on the floor.

Supersonic offense, Kendall Gill missed a jumper, Big Dream grabbed the rebound, and Mosaic attacked.

Kenny Smith still gave the ball to Horry first, and then Horry passed it on to Big Dream, and Zhou Quan not only locked his offense, but also completely locked his downward passing angle.

Horry tilted away from Schramf and struck down on the ball.

Big Dream received the ball, Rodman's defense speed under the basket was very fast, and he had reached his back along the bottom line, he immediately turned up, and between dribbling, he hit the paint area in one step.

Zhou Quan, who was in a high position, turned around and rushed down at this time.

He and Rodman's pincer attack is coordinated with each other, Rodman is responsible for sealing the direction of the big dream's turn and slipping bottom, and he is responsible for sealing the direction of the big dream's turn and breakthrough.

Big Dream turned around and dribbled into the paint area in one step, and the next moment ......

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan leaned over and took a step forward, stretched out his right arm, swept his big hand, and when the basketball pulled up from the floor just fell into the hand of Da Meng, he swept it.

"What?"

The next moment, Big Dream jumped, but he found that the ball was gone.

The ball was grabbed by Rodman, and Zhou Quan immediately turned down, and accelerated after receiving the ball.

"Break the ball! Another break! Iron Fist steals the big dream again, hahaha......" The on-site commentator McJim roared excitedly.

"Oh roar!"

At this time, the Seattle Center Gymnasium reacted, and the huge cheers rang out again.

"Mosaic can't play this ball, haha, Zhou Quan will definitely steal the last double today, the state is too good!" Zhang Lili couldn't stop laughing.

In fact, in just three quarters, Zhou Quan played 31 minutes and handed out 11 steals, not only setting his own record for steals in a single game in the regular season, but also equaling the 11 steals record in a single game of Spurs player Larry Kennon in 1976.

At this time, the SuperSonics had already led Mosaic by 31 points, and Mosaic gave up in the last quarter, and Zhou Quan also clocked in in the third quarter, but did not play in the final quarter, losing the opportunity to break this record.

In the end, 75:116, the supersonic beat Mosaic by 41 points, thwarting the big dream of double killing supersonic and double killing Zhou Quan's wild words.

Zhou Quan played 31 minutes, 14 of 22 shots, a shooting rate of 63.6%, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and a triple-double of 39 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

Big Dream 33 minutes, 7-of-17 shooting, 41.2%, 8-of-10 free throws, 22 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 8 turnovers and 4 fouls.

"Hey, super center, what about the double kill iron fist, the double kill supersonic one?"

"Big dream, how does it feel to have 8 mistakes in a single game? Isn't it a memorabic and want to do it again? ”

After the game, a group of local reporters blocked Big Dream in the players' tunnel, and all kinds of sarcastic questions made his face turn green.

After Zhou Quan attended the press conference, he and Zhang Li drove away from the central gymnasium together.

"Xiao Zhou, how does it feel to have 11 steals in a single game?" Zhang asked with a smile.

Zhou Quan shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm very tired, because when I am defending, every second, my nerves have to be tense, and I feel very tired." ”

"100% focused, I was excited at the time, but I definitely felt tired and my brain hurt afterwards, right?" Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes, it feels like my brain is being hollowed out. This kind of extreme state rarely has a chance to play. Zhou Quan said with a smile.
