Hardaway hit two in a row, missed a crucial one, was stealed for a turnover, and now O'Neal is in position under the basket, and he has to pass the ball.

Zhou Quan heard O'Neill's shout, his nerves immediately tensed, and while his body squatted, his eyes not only did not stare at Hardaway, but moved elsewhere.

This paralyzed Hardaway, who didn't know that Zhou Quan's panoramic vision, even if it was the afterglow of his vision, was a general effect, so he immediately closed the ball and prepared to pass the ball.

"Smack!"

The next moment, at the moment when Anfernee Hardaway closed the ball, Zhou Quan picked up with his left hand and hit the ball into the sky.

"Oh!"

In the exclamation of the Magic fans, Zhou Quan reflexively stuck Hardaway, and then jumped up to catch the ball.

Hawkins at the top of the arc started to go fast again, and Nick Anderson chased down the left, cutting off the passing angle between him and Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan advanced from the left wing, Hardaway chased on the left, and when he reached the left wing three-point line at 60 degrees, he suddenly made a sharp stop, completed the ball at the same time, and then quickly pushed in the direction of Hawkins, who rushed to the basket.

"Pass! No? “

This action made Hardaway's eyes instinctively look at Hawkins, and immediately realized that it was a feint, and when he turned back, Zhou Quan had already jumped.

"Three points?"

Zhang Li stared at the orange basketball, and then shouted excitedly: "Hit!" ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "The Magic failed to attack three times, Zhou Quan stole Penny Hardaway twice, and the other was also a successful defense, one person prevented the Magic's attack, and the defensive state is really good today!" ”

On the field, Hardaway wiped the sweat from his forehead, pushed Zhou Quan beside him with his right hand, and asked for the ball with his left hand.

It was Grant who served behind the baseline, and instead of Hardaway, he sent it to quarterback Nick Anderson.

"The Cobra are still very steady, the Magic failed to attack three times, and the most important thing now is to get rid of Zhou Quan's defense and play the offense." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"As long as the ball carrier is not in front of Zhou Quan, he can pass to O'Neal, and O'Neal, the big killer under the basket, gets the ball under the basket, and the supersonic can't be defended at all." Xu Jicheng nodded.

Zhang said: "O'Neill was 125 kilograms when he went to the league four years ago, and now the tonnage is about 135 kilograms, maybe 140 kilograms, there is no exact data.

With such a large tonnage, he is as flexible as a shark, as long as he gets the ball under the basket, two or three people don't want to stop him. ”

Anderson came to the frontcourt, saw O'Neal enter the basket, and immediately hoisted the ball in.

As the ball went in, Matt Geiger, Ervin Johnson, and even Almon Gilliam rushed in to wrap O'Neal.

O'Neal jumped in the crowd, he was the tallest, his arm span was the best, and his bounce was also the best, so he jumped up and was taller, and the moment he caught the ball with both hands, he smashed directly to the basket without any adjustment.

"Bang!"

The entire hoop was smashed and sunk downward, as if it was about to collapse.

"Oh roar!"

The Amway Center Arena immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Empty and violent buckles, too strong!" Xu Jicheng exclaimed.

"Look, the giant beast under the basket can't stop him at all." Zhang Reasonable shook his head.

"Nick, good pass!"

On the field, O'Neal shouted excitedly at Anderson after the victory.

Zhou Quan found that Hardaway's face was a little bad, and he knew that Hardaway should have an idea, and the relationship with O'Neill was not as simple as before.

In fact, he hopes that O'Neal will stay in the East, and he can make some trouble for Jordan in the past two years, and when Jordan is old, with the strength of O'Neal and Hardaway, he can really dominate the East.

However, O'Neal really went to the West, and unless he joined forces with David Robinson, he would join other teams, and there would be no way to compete with the SuperSonics in a short period of time.

He judged that if the Magic really didn't give O'Neal the contract he wanted, O'Neal's most likely destination would be the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, because only these two teams could afford to give a 100 million dollar contract.

Of course, there are also Knicks in the East who can afford the contract O'Neal wants, but the Knicks already have Ewing, unless they switch teams, and if the Magic chooses Hardaway and gives up O'Neal, there is a high probability that he will be traded to the West.

8: 2, supersonic offense.

At the top of the arc, between dribbling, Zhou Quan broke through from the right side with a tentative step, then quickly pulled back, and then tried again to pull back.

In this way, Hardaway, who repeatedly retreated and returned, could not keep up with the rhythm, and was shaken back by the second tentative step, and almost sat down.

"Brush!"

Zhou Quan calmly shot a three-point shot at the top of the arc and hit.

"Three points in the open space? Pretty! Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"With eight points on three shots and two on three-point shots, Zhou Quan's hand today doesn't seem to be affected by back-to-back." Zhang Li said with a smile.

At 11:2, the Magic called a timeout.

Next, Hardaway increased his pass to O'Neal and had to cut back on his shots in the face of Zhou's strong defense.

Then the game entered the performance time of O'Neill and Zhou Quan, one destroying the city on the inside, and the other attacking everything on the outside.

In the first half, O'Neal was full of energy, shooting 9 of 12 in the half, plus 3 of 8 free throws, and scored 21 points.

Zhou Quan shot 10-of-16 in the half, shooting 62.5 percent, and scored 26 points on 2-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line.

However, because Gilliam and Hawkins reduced some playing time, and without McMillan, Zhou Quan played with a few fringe people halfway through the second quarter, so when the first half was played, the Magic relied on a full rotation lineup to equalize the score.

In the third quarter, O'Neal went through halftime, and his physical fitness could still be maintained, shooting 4 of 7 in a single quarter, shooting 57.1%, 3 of 7 free throws, although he scored 11 points, but efficiency began to decline.

George Carr used Elvin Johnson and fringe players Steve Scheffler and Sherel Ford to wrap up O'Neal with all his might, draining his energy and making him have to give it his all with every attack.

Zhou Quan felt very good today, shooting 5 of 8 in the third quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 14 points in a single quarter, and 40 points in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic trailed by seven points.

In the final quarter, O'Neal couldn't play or run, and Hardaway took over the offense.

Zhou Quan immediately focused on the defensive end, knowing that the opponent would definitely make a large number of shots, he made three steals of the opponent within eight minutes, and continuously played a fast attack of defensive counterattack, directly using defense to collapse Hardaway and Magic, and scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting in a single quarter.

Hardaway shot 2-of-7 in the first quarter and had a whopping 5 turnovers in a single quarter, and the team also trailed by 15 points before the Magic surrendered.

After the game, Zhang Li said: "O'Neal played 42 minutes, made 15 of 24 shots, shot 62.5%, made 7 of 17 free throws, shot 41.2%, and got 37 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls.

Hardaway shot 5-of-15 from the field, shooting 33.3 percent from the field, 0-of-4 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and finished with 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 9 turnovers and 3 fouls. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Quan played 45 minutes, 20 of 31 shots, a shooting rate of 64.5%, 3 of 7 three-point shots, 7 of 7 free throws, and just 50 points in the whole game, as well as 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. ”

Zhang Reasonable smiled: "This is Zhou Quan's fourth 50+ this season, and he played 50+, and tonight he played 50+ again, and his firepower this season is obviously more fierce than last season."

Of course, this is also the reason for the injury, there is no one available, he can only strengthen his individual attack, and even the playing time has increased significantly. ”

Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "I want to remind Zhou Quan here, and I still have to control the playing time so as not to cause injury." ”

With 27 wins and 4 losses, the SuperSonics continue to hold the top spot in the league.

The next away game is the Bucks, No. 9, there are three days in between, the SuperSonics have decided, and it is impossible to return to the West, just stay in Miami for two more days, and go to Milwaukee on the 8th.

At noon the next day, Philip called from Los Angeles and told Zhou Quan that the first round of contract renewal negotiations with Skechers had been conducted, and the results were good.

"They are willing to give a lifetime contract at the cost of a 7% stake in Skechers, as well as a certain endorsement fee and signing fee.

And promised that after the listing, the Iron Fist brand will be established as a separate company, and 5% of the shares of Skechers will be replaced by two-thirds of the shares of the Iron Fist brand company, 66.7%.

Zhou, when the time comes, in addition to the shares of the Iron Fist brand company, you will also own 2% of the shares of the parent company, Skechers. ”

"Sounds pretty good, as long as Skechers doesn't collapse, my branded shoes can still be sold, and that's a lifetime job." Zhou Quan said.

Philip smiled and said: "It's not a lifelong job, this job can still be inherited, it's a company share, as long as you don't sell it." ”

"Yes, you can talk to them about the details, and then let's sign the contract, I have no other opinions." Zhou Quan said.

“OK。”

Philip added: "By the way, Zhou, I have entrusted Bob Arum to apply to the WBC, and the WBC has agreed to postpone your first mandatory title defense, but it must be played before October 1st next year.

In other words, WBC gives you a full year. Generally, the title defense period is six months, and the maximum extension is three months. ”

"Great, then give Arum the promotion rights to defend the title, he deserves it." Zhou Quan said happily.

"Okay, I'll inform him, he'll be happy, haha!"

Philip said this, paused and said, "Zhou, is your challenger going to arrange for Michael Tyson?" I don't actually recommend that you hit him, Don King is too difficult.

And I think it's better for you to play Holyfield, and that's what Arum suggests, he's about the same weight as you, but he's less fit than you. ”

Zhou Quan said: "Tyson's popularity should still be higher than Holyfield, right? In this way, isn't Tyson's contract with Don King coming to an end, and if he finds another agent, he can also consider it. But Holyfield can too, I agree to fight with him. ”

He thinks that Philip recommended him to play Holyfield, and it should be Arum who gave him the job.

Holyfield was also a boxer under Donkin before, and his current promoter is Lou Dewar, a very senior boxing promoter in the United States, who is in his seventies and has a deep relationship with Arum.

Philip suddenly said: "Zhou, I talked to Mr. Bob Arlum, and he promised me to take me into the industry.

I mean, I can officially get involved in your fights as your boxing agent and promoter.

You can rest assured, Zhou, I will definitely not harm your interests, I promise. ”

"Oh, that's no problem, as an investor, you can make more money from it, but being a promoter also requires a lot of investment." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Haha, Zhou, how can you lose money in your boxing match?" Philip was very happy to say authentically.

……

"Don, where did the money in my account go?"

At this time, Michael Tyson was furious at Don Kim on the other end of the phone.

After he was released from prison, Don King arranged his schedule very tightly, in addition to training is training, and gave him three million dollars for him to spend, he didn't even notice that there was not much more than 100 million dollars left in his account, if he hadn't swiped his card to buy a car today, he wouldn't have known at all.

When I went to the bank to check, it turned out that in the past three years, his agent Tang Jin had transferred all the money one after another.

"Who told you to hit me? You put me in the hospital that time, and this money is compensation for me. Tang Jin didn't explain at all, and said directly.

Tyson immediately remembered that there was a party before he was imprisoned, and in order to make Don Kim look ugly, he wrote a check for five million dollars for Don Kim to withdraw cash, but it was the middle of the night and he couldn't get cash at all, Don Kim refused his request, and then he punched Don Kim to the hospital.

"Damn it, Donkin you bastard, if you don't give me the money back, you're going to die!" Tyson said angrily.

Tang Jin let out a bad breath and immediately explained: "Okay, Michael, it was just a joke just now, don't take it seriously."

Sorry, Michael, I took the money to invest in you, but I'm sorry, there was a serious loss, and the last few million dollars left were already handed over to you before. ”

"You lied to me!"

No matter how stupid Tyson is, he knows that it is bad, he handed over all his assets to Don King to manage, and the old immortal can dispose of his assets at will, and he is afraid that the money will not be returned.

Tang Jin said toughly: "Come on, Michael, it's just that the investment failed, I didn't take a dollar from you, if you trouble me, all the boxing matches I arranged for you will be canceled."

Think about it, I've got you a $200 million boxing match, are you going to give it up? Without me, Michael, there wouldn't be any agent who would have made you that much money. ”

"Damn it!"

Tyson was so angry that he almost crushed his phone.

Now he really can't do without Tang Jin, everything he has taken care of him over the years, including asset management, including finding women, what does he do?

Give up that $100 million for $200 million? He really doesn't have many brains, but two to one is still clear.

"When I make 200 million dollars, I'll take Don King's old bastard to court and ask him to pay me money." Eventually, he decided.

Don King hung up Tyson's phone and scolded disdainfully, "This idiot! ”

Leave the assets completely under his management, if he doesn't take the opportunity to get the money away, the sky will thunder.

After scolding Tyson for a while, he began to contact Philip.

Although he hates Tyson very much, business is business, Tyson is the gold-absorbing machine in his hands, and Zhou Quan is also now, so he desperately wants to make up the WBC World Boxing Title Defending Challenge between Zhou Quan and Tyson.

If he gets the promotion rights of this boxing match, he thinks that he can get at least $100 million from this boxing match, so he has the promotion power of this boxing match.
