On the 2nd, the SuperSonics arrived in Salt Lake City, and the first game of the new season was away.

Of course, Zeng Li stayed at home, Zhou Quan didn't plan to let her fly away, she wanted to run along, it was boring to be alone at home.

I went to bed early last night, woke up from the concentration of sleeping Dangong at seven o'clock in the morning, opened my eyes, and felt very good.

Since the end of the finals, in the past few months, he feels that the realm of Sleep Dangong has improved a little, and it has become easier to enter the finals.

Although during the playoffs before, the sleeping pill skill has improved, but in fact, it is difficult to really enter the determination, occasionally entering the determination, and it is not deep, only once or twice in ten days and half a month, and now it has reached the level of three or four times in ten days and half a month.

Only by entering the meditation can you dream less all night, or even have no dreams all night, and if you can't settle down, you can't enter the realm of sleeping Dangong, and the quality of sleep will definitely not be good.

In other words, in recent times, as it has become easier to settle down, his sleep quality has improved to a certain extent overall, and he is more energetic.

On Friday, November 3, 95, the NBA league's 95/96 season officially kicked off.

The Jazz have gone from strength to strength in recent seasons, and last season they scored a tiebreaker in the second round with a powerful mosaic, and they are only half a step away from reaching the Western Conference finals.

Although only the local media listed the Jazz as a team in the first pot this season, the vast majority of the media listed the Jazz as a team in the second pot, which shows that the strength of the Jazz has been recognized by the media, after all, the second pot is also a playoff powerhouse.

But Zhou Quan is Tianke John Stockton, so in this game, the media is almost overwhelmingly optimistic about the supersounds.

"We are already different, and those who look down on us will definitely regret it." In the pre-game interview, Jazz core postman Karl Malone said angrily.

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Zhou Quan was watching his new season tasks.

"Please defend the title and win the regular season MVP, as well as the titles of scoring champion, assist king, and steal king."

"The task reward, under the premise of weight +5 kg, the three sports qualities of speed, bounce, and agility remain the same."

"I'm X!"

When he saw the content of the task and the reward, Zhou Quan directly burst into foul language.

In the 72/73 season, Archibald entered his third professional season, this season he played in 80 games, averaged 46 minutes per game, played an incredible performance of 34 points and 11.4 assists per game, and won the title of scoring and assist king at the same time, which is also the only time in NBA history that he has won both scoring and assists in one season.

The content of this task alone is already very difficult, as well as the requirements for MVP, steal king, and defending champion, it is conceivable that the difficulty of this task has reached the hell level.

However, the rewards were so rich that Zhou Quan felt that even if he broke his leg, he would strive to complete this task.

Once the mission is completed, he can maintain his weight between 97 and 98 kilograms, and his tonnage and strength will increase while maintaining the same athletic qualities, which will give him a stronger position in the professional heavyweight division, and it is entirely possible that he will fight the likes of Michael Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield.

To be honest, he is also confident in letting him fight those boxing champions now, but he is not sure, because as long as these boxing champions find an opportunity to hit him hard, they can almost knock him out, and he can't withstand their heavy punches.

As for whether they can find a chance to hit him hard, with their strength and boxing experience, he thinks he should have.

And the tonnage of 97/98 kilograms, on the basketball court, with his height, the proportion of muscle content should become the first in the league, and it is no problem to carry the light interior line, and a strong interior line like the postman should be able to carry it, and Jordan will definitely not be able to carry him at that time, and he can blow up the entire outside line of the league.

……

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting list.

Jazz: Filton Spencer, Karl Malone, David Bennott, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton

HyperSonic: Almon Gilliam, Rodman, Schramf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

The game was broadcast live across the United States by NBC and was narrated by James Worthy and John Moore.

It's Saturday at home, and it's the opening game of the supersonic speed, and of course it is also chosen to be live.

Xu Jicheng said: "The main lineups of the two sides have not changed much from last season, only the supersonic have changed the main quarterback.

Jose Hawkins is more efficient offensively, shooting 48.2 percent from the field as a shooting guard last season, which was the highest of all his career.

Of course, after being traded to the Hornets, his scoring statistics dropped a lot compared to when he was in Philadelphia because of the drastic reduction in shots.

The reason for this is clear, as the Hornets have Alonzo Mourning, as well as Larry Johnson, in addition to him, who is only the third scorer, and it is understandable that the number of shots has been drastically reduced. ”

Zhang Reasonable nodded and said: "Hawkins' defense does not pull his hips, Zhou Quan + Hawkins, both offensive and defensive, the supersonic guard line in the new season is very strong, belonging to the top in the league, even one of the best, definitely no worse than the Bulls."

Coupled with Schramf, the strength of the entire outside line is also one of the best in the league, and the other three championship-level teams, that is, the outside line of the Bulls, can compete with the supersound, and the outside line of Mosaic and Magic cannot be compared with the outside line of the supersonic, to put it a little exaggerated, it can blow them up. ”

In the tunnel of the players, the starters of both teams arrived one after another.

When the postman saw Zhou Quan, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In just four seasons, Zhou Quan has grabbed two championships and two FMVPs, one MVP, two AMVPs, three assist kings and steal kings, one DPOY, and three times in the double team, and a lot of hard honors.

It's a pity that he's worked hard for so many seasons and has achieved nothing so far.

This time, Zhou Quan has ascended to the high position of the new head of WBC, and the influence of the world's heavyweight boxing champion and crossover king has directly made Zhou Quan one of the greatest sports athletes on the planet, and even in the NBA league in the United States, Michael Jordan has suppressed the limelight.

Two years ago, he still wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Quan, and he had the spirit of fighting, but now he has no such spirit, and he wants to take a detour when he meets Zhou Quan.

The away team played first, and when Zhou Quan finally went out, he was very surprised, there were many fans who welcomed him, and the applause was quite warm.

"Cheered on by the home fans on the road?" Zhang said excitedly.

"I didn't have it last year, the postman is still Zhou Quan's sworn enemy, and Jazz fans have always had a very bad attitude towards Zhou Quan." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

'It's a new change, Zhou Quan is different from last year, now he's one of the greatest athletes in the world and that's his influence now, making the home fans cheer him on away from home.' Zhang said excitedly.

At half past eight, the game officially began.

After the jump ball, the Jazz attacked first.

John Stockton holds the ball close to the top of the arc, the postman has already arrived, and the pick-and-roll is about to happen.

At this time, Zhou Quan quickly grabbed the close, forcing Stockton to move to the left wing, Zhou Quan chased closely, and the Jazz's high-post blocking tactics were broken.

The Jazz ran from the top of the arc to the left wing again, trying to block again, but Zhou Quan and Schramf didn't give a chance, and under the fast and ferocious pinch, Stockton made a dribbling error, and Zhou Quan took the opportunity to break the ball.

"Okay, complete the steal at the beginning, Zhou Quan is really Tianke Stockton." Zhang said excitedly.

Zhou Quan held the ball and advanced quickly, John Stockton and small forward David Bennault did not catch up with him, hit the right wing, entered the penalty area from the right waist, and then flew up against Jeff Hornacek, who was going all out to defend the penalty area, Hornacek was afraid of being hit and killed, and flashed to the side.

"Bang!"

Under the tomahawk split, Jazz's basket was exploded.

Head coach Jerry Sloan is very sad, this lineup has a chance to win against other teams, but only playing the supersonic will be defeated by the iron fist, like this, how can the Jazz, who he has invested many years of hard work, stand out in the West?

John Stockton is the Jazz's ball keeper and offensive initiator, and if he wants to avoid the Iron Fist defense, he can only choose to transfer the ball and let Jeff Hornacek hold the ball to organize the offense.

In that case, Hornacek's organizational ability is certainly inferior to Stockton's, and the team's organizational ability is at least half.

And Stockton has no ball, his finishing ability is average, and his ability is almost seventy percent useless, how can he play?

Jazz offense.

Stockton looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Jeff Hornacek, who attacked with the ball.

Jose Hawkins' defensive strategy is to press Hornacek to the top of the arc in the middle, because Zhou Quan is there and can make a pinch shot, which is also part of the supersonic defensive strategy.

When Hornacek was forced to the right elbow area, Zhou Quan decisively implemented a quick pinch shot, and at the same time, he also cut off the passing angle of Hornacek and Stockton, forcing him to force a shot.

"Bang!"

Under the bag, the shots were all deformed, the basket was serious, and there was almost a three-no-stick, and the rebound was grabbed by Rodman.

The Jazz quickly returned to defense, Zhou Quan advanced at a medium speed from the middle, Stockton ran in front, and when he reached the top of the arc, he suddenly broke through with one hand, and then accelerated through the stride, and then rushed to Stockton, and when he hit the free throw line in two steps, he suddenly stopped and threw out.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and the two hits.

"This ball is beautiful, Stockton was suddenly cleaned, and the postman inside couldn't get out, so if he dared to come out, he would dunk it directly." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"Stockton still has some small moves that can interfere with Zhou Quan in positional warfare, but he can't defend Zhou Quan at all in sports warfare." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Stockton played a pick-and-roll with Jeff Hornacek on the right flank, with the intention of getting rid of Zhou Quan, of course.

However, Hornacek's confrontation ability was vulnerable in front of Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan used the strongest, simplest and most effective way to break and dismantle, directly squeezed Hornacek away and caught up with Stockton.

The Jazz arranged a second pick-and-roll, with the power forward Postman coming up from the low post to do the pick-and-roll, and Stockton took the opportunity to get rid of Zhou Quan again.

Of course, Zhou Quan couldn't squeeze the postman this time, and Rodman reacted quickly and immediately changed his guard.

Rodman can switch to five positions, and when the opponent is fast-breaking, his return defense is one of the most important defensive forces of the SuperSonics, because he can defend no matter who he faces, which is also his greatest value on the defensive end.

Stockton got the ball into the paint, Rodman stuck to the underside, he didn't have a chance to shoot, he had to choose to pass the ball, and the pass was aimed at the postman on the right wing.

At this time, Zhou Quan changed the postman, to prevent the big with the small, the postman belonged to the dislocation, and the pursuit of dislocation was the tactical purpose of the Jazz's blocking and dismantling tactics.

Zhou Quan is going all out to defend, and the absolute strength of level 87 is not weak, and the general light interior line is not necessarily as strong as his absolute strength, although it is not as explosive as him, but it can barely withstand the postman.

The postman's right elbow against Zhou Quan behind him, and his left hand asked for the ball.

Stockton pulled to the free throw line and passed the ball.

At the moment of passing, Zhou Quan suddenly withdrew, and the postman's body couldn't help shaking, taking this opportunity, Zhou Quan completed the side step up to grab it.

"Smack!"

Hand to the ball break, and then take advantage of the momentum to initiate a quick down.

"Beautiful, another break, it's Stockton's second turnover." Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

Hornacek returned from the left flank, and although he was in the front, he had already dropped two steps by the time he reached the middle.

Stockton, who returned from the free throw line, was burst by Zhou Quan at the top of the arc and could not chase it back.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan went to the frontcourt, smashed into the paint from the left end of the free throw line, and then took off and dunked.

"The Jazz had two offensive turnovers and one missed three shots, and they haven't scored yet. Zhou Quan made two steals in a row, scored three goals in a row and scored six points, and now the SuperSonics led 6-0, and the Jazz called a timeout. Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Strangling Stockton, basically strangling Jazz." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

In the end, the SuperSonics successfully won the opener, defeating the Jazz with a score of 124:82 and winning by 42 points.

Zhou Quan played 32 minutes, clocked in in the third quarter, shot 15 of 20, shot as high as 75%, shot 3 of 6 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 39 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

In addition to him, the SuperSonics also had four players score in double figures, including Schramf with 15 points and shooting 52 percent, Gilliam with 16 points and shooting 51 percent, Hawkins with 18 points and shooting 50.5 percent from the field, and Venster Estus with 13 points and shooting 49.5 percent.

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Zhou Quan once again played the performance of Stockton's nemesis, and he blew up the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

John Stockton only shot 2 of 7 in the whole game, and was defended to death by Zhou Quan, with 6 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers and 3 fouls. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Today, Zhou Quan is rushing to play a good game, he made a lot of shots in the first three quarters, and he gave up the game in the third quarter of the Jazz." ”

Jerry Sloan left the court a little dejected, and it was too much for his hopeful team to play like this, and to be beaten like this by the main rival team in the West.

The same goes for postman Karl Malone, who also scored 28 points and 11 rebounds tonight under Rodman's defense, but was unable to prevent the team from being slaughtered, which left him with no future for the team and no hope of winning the championship.

As for John Stockton, in the past four seasons, he has been hit countless times by Zhou Quan, and his mental endurance has been tempered, and he is still calm.

"What are we going to do?"

Back in the locker room, Karl Malone asked with some pain and despair.

He didn't ask anyone specifically, the locker room was silent, no one answered him, everyone else quietly took off their sneakers and soaked jerseys, unloaded their gears, and walked into the bathroom with deodorant and an iron brush.
