Opening the system, he looked at his profile.

Over the course of a season, the slab shot and turnaround jumper were already complete, and he was rewarded.

The board used to be level 80, and after 13 rounds of training, it is now level 93.

The turnaround jumper is level 76, and after level 16 training, it is now level 92.

He has completed a total of six systematic shooting training, and has already been rewarded after completing the first three, this time he has been rewarded with +1 for offense and +1 for shooting basics, and the offense has been upgraded to level 92, and the basic shooting skills are level 96.

He calculated that if he completed all the shooting skills training tasks, he could also get a reward of +4 for offense, +1 for shooting basics, and +1 for physical fitness.

According to the information of the system, there are 5 items such as hook hand, backward jump shot, turn back jump shot, drift shot, horse archery shot, etc., he can complete these tasks in a year, and by that time the offense will be upgraded to level 96, and he has real top offensive ability.

That is, from the beginning of the 95/96 season, he will be like Jordan, and he will really have the ability to attack without a solution.

……

On the morning of the 26th, SuperSonics held a tactical meeting.

George Carr emphasized the importance of rebounding, as well as the importance of defense, and the speed with which offense and defense can be transitioned.

In terms of specific tactics, positional warfare is dominated by sudden tactics, plus fast attacks and defensive counterattacks.

After the afternoon training, a press conference was held at the request of the media.

"Coach Karl, what is our ultimate goal in the playoffs?" The Seattle Times reporter asked excitedly.

George Carr said solemnly: "We're only talking about the first round today. ”

The reporter was stunned and hurriedly said: "Do you think the Nuggets will pose a threat to supersound?" ”

"We shouldn't underestimate any opponent, especially since the Nuggets also have Mutombo, who is very good at protecting the basket, and if we are careless, we may even capsize," George Carr said. ”

"Iron Fist, do you also think that the team should go all out against the Nuggets?" The reporter turned around and asked.

"Of course, in the playoffs, we have to give it our all against any opponent and that's my experience." Zhou Quan said.

Well, when he said that, no journalist is qualified to object to his words, after all, he just won the championship last year and is qualified to say that.

On the 27th, the Nuggets arrived in Seattle and held a press conference at the hotel.

"Coach Isel, the SuperSonics think they should go all out against the Nuggets, do you think the Nuggets can pose a threat to the SuperSonics? Do you think the Nuggets have a chance at Black Eight? A reporter asked.

Dan Isel is just a second-year head coach who led the team to the playoffs for the first time this year, and when he heard the question, he immediately felt the pressure.

After a deep sigh, he said very low-key: "We only won one of the four regular season games, they were the first in the league, and we just barely made it to the playoffs, so our goal is to avoid being swept." ”

"Deacon Bay, do you think the Nuggets have a chance to be the Black Eight?" The next reporter asked.

Mutombo smiled cheekily and said, "No team wants to be in the first round, and we want to make it to the second round. But the SuperSonics are a strong team, the first in the league in the regular season, and it will be very difficult to beat them, and we are well prepared for that. ”

He didn't answer positively, but the implication of his words was that the Nuggets would not give up and would strive to complete the Black Eight, with a more positive attitude than the head coach.

That evening, Zhou Quan invited Zhang Li and them to dinner at the villa, as well as Isaiah Thomas, and Rodman and other supersonic teammates, which was a party before the playoffs.

"Iron Fist, are you very cautious about the Nuggets?" The Assassin said.

Zhou Quan nodded and said: "The coaching staff originally thought that there was no problem with playing the Nuggets, but I thought there was something wrong with this attitude, so I reminded it." ”

The Assassin quipped, "If you guys are careless and eliminated by the Nuggets, that's fun." ”

"Ranbir will be crazy with joy." Zhou Quan said angrily.

"Haha......" Rodman and the Assassin laughed.

Zhou Quan looked at Schramf and Kendall Gill, and reminded again: "Guys, forget the record of the regular season, no matter which series, treat every game, we must go all out, and we must not overturn in the gutter." ”

"Understood, Boss."

Kendall Gill and the others replied cheerfully.

……

On April 28, 1994, the NBA League playoffs began.

That night, there will be four sets of games, namely the SuperSonics vs. Nuggets, Spurs vs. Jazz, Hawks vs. Nets, and Knicks vs. Cavaliers, with the front team having home-court advantage.

The first-round series between the SuperSonics and Nuggets was broadcast nationally by ESPN, with Isaiah Thomas and Bill Ranbial as commentators.

David Stern is looking forward to the first round of eight games, and he deliberately staggered the series between Zhou Quan and the Bulls, hoping for a beautiful receipt for this year's playoff ratings.

The regular season made him very happy, the Bulls and SuperSonics each played the first place in the East and West, and the pattern of Zhou Quan and Jordan competing for dominance in the East and West has been formed.

Now he expects that Jordan's strength will best maintain a few more peak seasons, and Zhou Quan will not pull his hips, just like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson back then, this time he hopes that Jordan and Zhou Quan can make the development of the NBA to a higher level.

From noon, outside the Seattle Center Gymnasium, a large number of fans began to gather, more and more, and gradually became a sea of people.

At 3 p.m., the Seattle City Government and Microsoft jointly held a press conference, and the Seattle TV noon news broadcast the whole process.

Only one thing was announced at the press conference, and the city government approved the construction plan for the new stadium.

Specifically, Microsoft will invest $200 million, and the city government will allocate a 25-acre plot of land in the downtown area.

The new stadium was commissioned for 97 years and took three years to design and build, with a maximum capacity of 20,000 people.

The news made Seattle-people very happy, especially the fans who gathered at the Center Stadium, and they immediately cheered.

Of course, Zhou Quan was very excited when he found out, and it was worth looking forward to three years.

At half past six, he and his teammates took a bus to the central gymnasium.

"Overall Champion! Overall Winner! The championship ......" saw the team's bus arrive, and countless fans rushed over and shouted loudly.

"It's pressure, it's motivation."

Looking at the excited fans outside the window, Zhou Quan said to his teammates.

……

At half past seven, the two sides announced their starting lineups.

Nuggets: Mutombo, Lafonso Ellis, Reggie Williams, Bryant Stich, Mohamed Lauf

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

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li said: "Supersonic plays Nuggets, although Mutombo's basket protection ability is very strong, but supersonic has many advantages.

Especially on the outside defense, Zhou Quan was the first point guard to get DPOY, and I think the possibility of being blacked out is very low, almost none.

What the media is talking about now is just a gimmick hyped up according to the cautious attitude of supersound. ”

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "It's just that you can't be careless, the media is rain when they see the wind." ”

On the ESPN commentary bench, Ranbir said excitedly: "Now the media thinks that the Nuggets have the strength of the Black Eight, I think it's possible, although the SuperSonics are the first in the regular season, but this is the playoffs, the defensive ...... of the playoffs."

Seeing that Ranbir was a little speechless, the assassin burst into laughter, and after being glared at, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The defense in the playoffs is not comparable to the regular season, but the SuperSonics seem to be the fifth in the league in points per game, less than the Nuggets."

So as long as they play normally, it is almost impossible for the Nuggets to create the Black Eight miracle, and Iron Fist will not let himself be blacked eight, his stability is very high, this is his strongest point, he is a real playoff superstar. ”

Ranbir snorted, "If Mutombo is five or six big hats in a game, I think he will break in?" If you can't break in, you're out there, and you can't keep up a series, so I still think the Nuggets have a chance. ”

The assassin is also a tough person, and immediately retorted: "No way, Iron Fist's pull-up jump shot is not much worse than Jordan's, and Mutombo's defensive area does not cover the mid-range area, he can only stay in the restricted area, and the SuperSonics may have some problems due to the shooting touch, but overall, the probability of losing the series is zero." ”

"We'll see." Ranbir was unconvinced.

At this time, the starters played, and the fire of the whole field dimmed.

"Shh

When the Nuggets played, in order to suppress the morale of their opponents, the Seattlemen were not polite and booed vigorously.

"Oh Roar Roar ......"

When it was the home team's turn, it immediately turned into a very enthusiastic cheer.

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP……”

When it was Zhou Quan's turn to play, the fans raised their arms and shouted.

On the commentary bench, Henem Chrisman shouted in an impassioned tone: "It should be the MVP of Iron Fist, he is the best answer, and we believe that the impartial media will give the best answer." ”

"With Iron Fist's performance this season, the MVP should be his." On the ESPN commentary seat, smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas said happily.

Ranbir said angrily: "Isaiah, you don't seem to have an MVP, right?" ”

The assassin glared at Ranbir and said, "No, I just don't." Bill, damn it, are you laughing at me? ”

"Who did we give the two years we won the championship?" Ranbir asked knowingly.

"A hundred years ago, where do I remember?" The Assassin said unhappily.

Those two seasons were given to the Magician, his good friend, who later turned his face and didn't want to mention the Magician's name now.

Ranbir said with a smile: "So the person who wins the MVP has a high probability of not winning the championship, and on the contrary, the person who does not get the MVP has a better chance of winning the championship." ”

"You have no scientific basis, and there are many people who have won MVP and championship in the same season." The Assassin retorted.

"We'll see." Ranbir was unconvinced.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Sun Zhenping said happily: "In just one season, Zhou Quan conquered supersonic fans. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The previous supersonics, although they reached the Western Finals, played too teamly, and the core Ricky Pierce never entered the top five positions in the MVP rankings once, and it was not up to the level of a superstar, and it was also a lack of star flavor."

And Zhou Quan is now a superstar who can compare with Jordan's popularity, and the All-Star vote can prove this, and it is natural that he will be welcomed by fans.

At the end of the day, what the fans watch is the performance of the stars. What the playoffs look at, the competition for superstars. ”

Sun Zhenping nodded, and suddenly said: "Director Zhang, if Zhou Quan really wins the MVP this time, then he should be the youngest MVP, right?" ”

Zhang Reasonable said excitedly: "Yes, Zhou Quan is on the sixth day of March in 72, I have calculated, he just turned 22 years old on April 16 of the solar calendar, and before the second round, the voting results of the MVP will come out before May 10, when he was only 22 years old and less than a month." ”

At the scene, Zhou Quan received the trophies of the assist king and the steal king from the league officials, and two crystal cups.

"Victory!"

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

At eight o'clock, before the debut, after a shout from Zhou Quan, a loud and neat shout rang out in the Seattle Center Gymnasium.

"Oh, congratulations to the owners of ESPN, and the NBA league, which has now hit 16 million viewers."

At the ESPN commentary booth, Isaiah Thomas smiled excitedly after receiving the prompt from the on-site director.

In New York, David Stern received a report from special assistant Hawk Houston that the supersonic speed was the highest in four first-round games, reaching 16 million before the game, and the Knicks were second, 12 million.

He was very happy, and it was already very good to have this rating in the first round.

Jump ball, Nuggets offense.

Mohamed Rauf received the ball, Zhou Quan blocked in front of him, eyeing him fiercely, thinking of Iron Fist's tackling ability and strong defense, which made him tremble.

"Oh, the pass?"

Ranbill's eyes widened, and he scolded dissatisfiedly: "Coward, what are you afraid of when you are working against that guy with Iron Fist?" Isn't it good to step on him on the top position? ”

The smiling assassin laughed and said, "Bill, do you have a grudge against Lauf?" In that case, he would only look for abuse. ”

Ranbir snorted and didn't answer.

The assassin smiled again and said: "Mohamed Lauf, a 90-year-old star show, 185 cm, 73 kg, not up to the standard of a star, averaging 33 minutes per game this season, 18 points, 4.5 assists, 1 steal and 1.9 turnovers, shooting rate of 46%, as a point guard, the passing stability is not enough." ”

Speaking of this, he teased again: "The pass is so bad, of course he has to play the ball as soon as possible, is he waiting to be robbed by an iron fist?"

Or did he dare to strike at the head of the Iron Fist? Iron Fist is the most powerful blocking guy among point guards this season, and many centers don't have his blocking stats. ”

"He's an offensive point guard, the Nuggets' leading scorer last season and this season, and passing isn't his number one task, offense is, and he should be on the head of the iron fist." Ranbir said with a glare.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say." The assassin said helplessly.

At this time, Nuggets power forward Lafonso Eliso missed a low jump shot on the right wing, Rodman turned around and grabbed the rebounding rebound, and quickly passed to Zhou Quan outside, Zhou Quan took the ball and quickly advanced to the front court.

Lao Fu was also very quick and kept up with Zhou Quan, but the tonnage was relatively too small, and he couldn't talk about the confrontation ability at all, and he couldn't pull Zhou Quan.

"Bang!"

The sound of exploding baskets rang out.

"Oh roar!"

With a flying slam dunk, tens of thousands of people raised their arms and cheered, and Zhou Quan detonated the Seattle Center Gymnasium.

"Counter-attacking on the spot, not allowing them to play defensive counterattacks, not allowing them to attack quickly, and reducing their offensive and defensive switching rhythm."

On the sidelines, Nuggets coach Dan Isel roared sharply.

Of course, he will not use Laufu to defend the iron fist, and the iron fist will hit Lauve, with a difference of nearly twenty kilograms in tonnage, it is no longer a misalignment, it is a dimensionality reduction blow.

He is preparing to use the iron fist of the defense of the quarterback Bryant Steich, Stich is 196 cm, 94 kg, the No. 13 pick in the first round in '92, averaging 1 steal per game, an ordinary blue-collar player, the defense is not very good, but it is not a defensive hole, at least the height and tonnage do not suffer.

If the SuperSonics are allowed to play a fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, Stich will not have a chance to switch defenses with Lauf at all, so he will emphasize the on-the-spot counter-robbery and disrupt the superSonic's fast and fast passes.

Nuggets offense.

Rauf advanced with the ball, took advantage of Stich's cover to get rid of Zhou Kwon and ran to the right wing, where Kendall Gill followed.

This is also the tactical arrangement of head coach Dan Isel, Iron Fist's defense is the most terrifying, he does not allow his own point guard to face such a defender for a long time, Lauf is the Nuggets' scoring champion, although the Nuggets' scoring is relatively average, but without Lauve's score, it is impossible to win the superSonics.

And Sticky's scoring is not as important as Lauve, averaging 12.5 points per game in the regular season, with a shooting rate of only 45%, losing Lauve's score is not as good as losing Sticky's score, the lesser of two evils, he has no choice, who makes the Nuggets' outside line far inferior to people?

Rauf plays Kendall Gill, which belongs to playing small and big, Gill is 196 cm, 88 kg, and the defense is not as strong as Zhou Quan, which is also the confidence of Rauf to dare to change positions.
