On the TNT commentary bench, Larry Bird said at this time: "Jordan shot 15 of 32, shooting 46.9%, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, and scored 43 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.

Iron Fist shot 13-of-27 from the field, shooting 48.1%, including 2-of-4 three-pointers, 13-of-13 free throws, and scored 41 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 8 steals, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. ”

Magic Johnson said: "Congratulations to the SuperSonics for winning the G3 game and now leading 2-1, with two more home games to follow, and the series lead. ”

Larry Bird smiled: "The shooting percentage is similar for both of them, free throws, points, blocks, three-pointers, blocks, turnovers, and fouls, but Iron Fist is much ahead of Michael in assists and steals."

And in the last crucial minute, he also relied on two consecutive steals to establish the victory, one of which was a frontal steal of Jordan in the fast break. ”

Magic Johnson sighed: "Iron Fist has 8 steals again, and the SuperSonics can be said to win this game over his 8 steals." ”

At this time, Zhou Quan was being interviewed, and some other stars were also being interviewed by the media.

"Karim, Bill, Reggie, how would you describe Iron Fist's stealing ability?" There were reporters interviewing Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Wharton.

Jabbar shook his head in amazement and said, "The hand of the Iron Fist, oh, the hand of God. If he has set his sights on your ball, you should give it to him happily, otherwise his hand will take it by himself, and you will have no way to refuse God's will. ”

"The Hand of God." Bill Wharton added.

"The strongest steal king in the universe." Reggie Miller also offered his own opinion.

O'Neill and the Smiling Assassin, Joe Dumas, Grant Hill and others were on the side, and when they heard the words of these three guys, they couldn't help but sigh very much that UCLA's cohesion was really strong, and they touted the alumni to the extent that they had no scruples and were not ashamed.

"What do you think, Assassin?"

The reporter put the microphone in front of Thomas.

The assassin immediately said, "The steal of the Iron Fist is the God's taboo. ”

Zhou Quan, who was being interviewed, was also three meters away, and when he heard the words of these people, he was already a little blushing, and then he finally couldn't help but turn around and shout: "Hey, guys, stop blowing me, I'm also a human being, and I'll swell." ”

"Poof! Haha......"

Several people around laughed.

"Hey, do you think you've won the championship?"

"Do these bastards think Michael is going to lose?"

"That is, Michael will definitely kill the supersonic like last year's finals."

Seeing Zhou Quan and the others laughing wantonly, Da Meng, Barkley and the others said angrily.

The Bulls had returned to the visiting locker room at this time, lost the game, Jordan didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was very poor.

Phil Jackson summed up the game, saying: "Including this game, in the first three series, we have been playing a trap-and-hold tactic against Iron Fist after breaking into the box, and tonight was the best defensive effect......

At this point, he glanced down at the stats table in his hand, then looked up and said, "Just letting him shoot 46.4% shows that our defensive tactics really limit his individual offense."

However, in terms of limiting passes, he was not good enough, he still handed out 10 assists, and if the SuperSonics could have shot a few more open balls, his assists would have been higher, and it should be said that our bag had very little restriction on his passes.

But overall, our defensive tactics were correct, with fast and ferocious pinching when they entered the box, and quick rotation from the outside to fill up the defensive position, and our defensive tactics were very similar to theirs.

The reason for tonight's defeat was not that we had a problem with our defensive tactics, but because of our attacking tactics. Our attacking tactics are also limited by their defence. It was Iron Fist's last two steals that ultimately led to our loss. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "His steals are miraculous, and he has given up a total of 21 steals in the first three series, an average of 7 per game. Michael is also very good at stealing, but only nine times in three games combined. ”

After saying this, he shook his head helplessly, and the helplessness in his heart was probably bursting.

When Jordan heard this, the depression in his heart couldn't be concealed at all, and immediately emerged from his black face.

At this time, Phil Jackson said again: "How to fight the G4 battle, I have to think about it first, now you go to the shower first." ”

An hour later, the post-match press conference took place.

The Seattle Post reporter who asked the first question excitedly asked: "Iron Fist, tonight again 8 steals, 7 steals per game in the finals, what makes you so brave?" ”

When Zhou Quan heard this question, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and then replied with a smile: "Jordan is not bad, he also has 4 steals, right?" He's got 4 steals, so that's probably what motivated me to make 8 steals, haha......"

"Haha......"

The reporters below also laughed.

"Iron Fist, now that the score is 2-1, and there are two more home games below, what do you think are the chances that we will win match points at home?" The reporter continued.

Zhou Quan said: "The Bulls will win two games in a row on our home court, and the possibility of winning the match point before us is very small, unless our whole team is not in shape, so the probability of us winning the season at home is very high, much higher than the Bulls." ”

"Is it possible to win the G5 race?" The reporter asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan smiled: "Of course it's possible, but it's only a possibility." The strength of the bulls is very strong, not worse than us, my attitude is still like that, you know, I won't say more. ”

On the other end, a reporter asked: "Michael, as long as the SuperSonics win one of the next two home games, they can get the match point, once that result occurs, do you think the Bulls have the strength to pull it back?" ”

"Even if they get match points, we still have two home games, we will definitely win, there is no second result." Jordan said in an extremely paranoid manner.

"Michael, just now Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Wharton described Iron Fist's steals as, the hand of God, the hand of God, the strongest steal king in the universe, the taboo of God, how do you evaluate Iron Fist's stealing ability?" The next reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.

"Oh!"

This sentence caused many reporters at the scene to exclaim.

Hearing that series of dazzling phrases, Jordan couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then he spoke: "His, stealing ability is indeed amazing." ”

After saying this, he closed his mouth.

"Do you agree with these nicknames?" The Los Angeles Daily reporter asked.

Jordan shrugged his shoulders coldly and said noncommittally, "Whatever." My nickname is Flyer, but I really can't fly. ”

"Poof!"

The sour answer immediately made many reporters laugh.

……

That night, Phil Jackson stayed up all night.

He was thinking about the offensive tactics of the G4 battle, and at the beginning his mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out.

In the end, he still found a line according to Zhou Quan's game and the tactics of all teams in the league against Zhou Quan.

In fact, this thread has always been in his hands and has been used, that is, to let his own ball carrier get rid of Zhou Quan's defense.

He watched all the games in the Western Finals series, and then watched it again and again, and studied it repeatedly, and the mosaic tactic against Zhou Quan was that whoever Zhou Quan defended would not hold the ball.

Although Mosaic lost, he thought it was okay.

Of course, Zhou Quan's steal performance in the Western Conference Finals is not weaker than the finals that are currently underway, although Mosaic does not let the person in front of him hold the ball, he can send a lot of steals in the help defense.

Therefore, it is not possible to copy the tactics of Mosaic, he has to find a way to make Zhou Quan unable to assist in defense.

Thinking about it, there is only one way, because Zhou Quan only defends one person when he plays the Bulls, and that is Jordan, that is to say, he can only use Jordan to contain Zhou Quan on the weak wing, away from the ball carrier, and even away from the basket, so that Zhou Quan does not even have the opportunity to help defend the basket, so that Zhou Quan's defense can really be limited.

But this involves another problem, Jordan can indeed contain Zhou Quan on the weak side, but then Jordan himself will be out of the Bulls' offensive system.

One pros and one cons, he couldn't calculate it at all for a while.

……

The G4 battle is the 9th, with two days off in between.

On the morning of the 7th, Billy's shipyard delivered his sailboat to the docks.

In addition to being happy, at noon he asked Abdul-Jabbar and a group of others to come and visit his sailboat.

After O'Neill's group arrived, a group of people walked around the docks and opened their eyes.

In addition to the transparent café, there is also a fitness room, a games room, and even a movie in it, and there is a water park next to it, and there is everything you need to get a jet ski.

Zhou Quan said a little proudly: "Now in Lake Washington, there are at least twenty mansions building piers like mine, all of which were designed by me. ”

"It's not a dock anymore, it's a floating lounge. By the way, Tekken, how much is your design fee? Abdul-Jabbar asked with interest.

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "It's free." ”

"Iron Fist, when will your yacht arrive?" O'Neill, who was enjoying the sun in the transparent café, asked.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "It's almost over, it's just a few days away, but the shipyard is on the East Coast, Miami, and you have to go around to come over." ”

"Don't forget me at the yacht party." O'Neill shouted.

"Of course."

"Iron Fist, I've made some investments recently, it was Bill's father who gave me advice, you have more contact with rich people, have you made some investments?" The Assassin asked.

Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't have any cash on hand now, and I basically invest it." ”

Bill Wharton said enviously: "You guys are in good time, and when we play, we even have to work part-time to support ourselves." ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Bill, now is the right time to invest in the stock market, and you can invest a little extra money." ”

"What companies did you buy?" Hearing this, Abdul-Jabbar came over with a coffee cup and sat next to Zhou Quan.

"There are some, but I mainly bought Microsoft in the secondary market stock investment, and the rest I mainly invested in the primary market." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"I know that Microsoft stock suddenly plummeted by half last month, but now it has risen a lot, Iron Fist, have you lost or earned?" Reggie Miller said in surprise.

Zhou Quan said speechlessly: "Reggie, that is the ex-right after Microsoft voted to split the allotment of shares, not a sharp fall, after the ex-right came a wave of rights-filling market." ”

Reggie Miller smiled: "I don't invest in stocks, I don't understand this, you just say it's a loss or a gain, right?" ”

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Earned some." ”

"How much money you make, make a good head, I'll buy a little with you." Reggie Miller said.

"Ten million." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Ten million?"

The group of people were all startled, drinking coffee, playing games, and suddenly all ran over.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "If Microsoft's wave of right-filling market continues and rises back to the original price, I can make more than 10 million more."

According to the company's current and future performance, as well as the better and better market share, there is a chance to return to the price before the ex-rights. ”

"Can it still go up?"

"Iron Fist, you are the spokesperson of Microsoft, there must be inside information, tell us quickly."

A group of people immediately asked.

Zhou Quan pouted and said, "Where is there any inside information?" Don't talk nonsense, rat barns are all illegal, you know? I only made the decision to invest in Microsoft based on some publicly available information.

If you want to invest in Microsoft now, you can buy a little less, after all, after the ex-rights, a third of it has been filled back in a month, and my analysis is not necessarily accurate, after all, I am not Buffett. ”

"Iron Fist, what other way do you have, tell me about it?" O'Neill asked.

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "Recently, I got a news that someone in Seattle is working on an Internet company, and the company has not yet been officially established, but it is coming soon. ”

"What the hell?" Bill Wharton hurriedly asked.

"Internet companies have succeeded and made a lot of money, but 99 out of 100 Internet investment projects have lost money to death, this is what Bill's father said. Iron Fist, are you optimistic about this project? What exactly is it doing? The Assassin said.

Zhou Quan said: "Online bookstore, I know the investor, I have played golf with him, and I know the name of his company, what is the name of Kadabra."

Online bookstores are still a novelty and very risky, but I think it's a good idea to invest some money. ”

"Then I'll forget it, it's too risky to be cost-effective, and I don't have much money in my hands." Bill Wharton said.

"It's better to be steady, I'm going to open a burger chain." O'Neill shook his head.

"Iron Fist, let's talk about Microsoft's stock, I think this is more reliable than an online bookstore." The Assassin said.

"I don't like reading the most, and this investment is not for me." Reggie Miller said.

"Iron Fist, there are investments that are not very risky and call me, I don't have much money, and I can't invest in those high-risk investments." Abdul-Jabbar said.

After lunch, Zhou Quan had just sent off O'Neill's group and was about to go back to the dock to bask in the sun, when a taxi stopped at the dock and a woman wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses came down.

The taxi left, and the woman walked towards Zhou Quan.
