Back at the dock recreation area, Zhou Quan took a look, there were glass walls all around, but there were curtains to cover it, only it was unsafe underwater.

"It's okay to install an underwater fence, but it's better to install an underwater sonar alarm system, there are no fish in the lake, and if there are live creatures approaching, you can immediately detect the alarm."

He immediately told Philip to help him make arrangements, and he also contacted the wealthy people in Lake Washington who had built the dock with him, and asked them to install an underwater alarm system as well.

"Ahri, bring security when you go out in the future." He admonished.

"Hmm."

Zeng Li nodded, and said excitedly: "Husband, the results of the investigation company have come out these days, I think it's okay, this is the result of the investigation, there are 1020 in total." ”

Zhou Quan took a brief look, nodded and said, "Then let's start doing it, I'll give you a free spokesperson." ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

"In the future, if it develops, maybe it will be able to return to China for development, and the domestic economy should be better than it is now.

However, once it is really developed, there will definitely be capital to buy or finance, and then you can become a rich woman. ”

"What's the name of the coffee shop?"

"Well, what do you think of Delicate? It's exquisite. ”

"Exquisite? It's not poetic. ”

"Poetic? Then call it Li Qingzhao Coffee Shop. By the way, it can also be called Yi'anju. ”

"Poof, haha......"

……

On the 12th, the SuperSonics lost to the Heat again at home.

Zhou Quan scored 44 points, handed out 12 assists and 7 steals, and locked Payton again, 4 steals, although he did not keep a clean sheet again, but only allowed him to get 5 points and 5 assists.

The SuperSonics defeated the Heat at home and away with a broken lineup, which immediately lowered the media's evaluation of the Heat.

On the 15th, the SuperSonics defeated the Warriors on the road, and Zhou Quan scored 38 points.

On the morning of that day, the league released the All-Star voting data for the second week, and Zhou received another 760,000 votes the following week, for a total of 1.61 million votes in the two weeks.

Jordan had 270,000 votes in the second week and 620,000 votes in the second week, less than half of the weekly power.

"There's no denying that in terms of popularity and performance so far this season, Iron Fist is the first active player in the NBA." Houston Chronicle.

The Houston Chronicle's statement has been recognized by more media, and even the New York Times and the Chicago Daily cannot deny it, but the attitude is a little sour.

"In terms of hard honors such as championships, Iron Fist is still a big gap from Michael Jordan." New york times.

"If you exclude the popularity and influence brought by cross-border, Michael is still the first person in active service." Chicago Daily News.

After the SuperSonics won against the Warriors, they rushed back to their home court overnight, and on the 16th, they lost to the Cavaliers in back-to-back games, ending the winning streak and allowing the Bulls to rush to the first place in the league.

Then, for the rest of January, under Zhou Quan's hard work, the SuperSonics played a 5-2 record, losing to the Knicks and Jazz successively, and by the end of January, they were 35-8 and lost the first place in the league.

The Bulls have only lost one game in the back, and with a 36-6 record, they have widened the gap to the SuperSonics by 1.5 games.

Although Zhou Quan's personal data is much more gorgeous than Jordan's, Jordan still rushed to the first place in the MVP ranking list with the league's No. 1 record.

However, the day of Schramf and Rodman's comeback is getting closer, and the superSonics still have a chance to catch up.

And the all-star voting is also over, and Zhou Quan defended the all-star vote king for the first time with 2.81 million votes.

Last year's All-Star was 1.95 million votes, and this year's increase is 860,000 votes, directly breaking the NBA league historical data.

Jordan got 1.39 million votes, 1.42 million votes less than Zhou Quan, and the difference in votes was huge, just doubled.

Johnson, the magician who was clamoring for a comeback last time, disappeared for a long time, and this time he reappeared in the public eye, giving an interview to the media at the New York airport.

Speaking about the All-Star voting results, he said: "I don't think it's fair, I think at least 70 percent of Iron Fist's popularity and votes come from his fans.

It's not like I'm talking nonsense, Tekken is the super popular heavyweight world boxing champion, and the PPV sales record of breaking the record of three million is the strongest evidence.

His World Champion title is too influential, with a huge fan base in the United States, as has been the case since last year's All-Star.

So I think it's very unfair to Michael, and I don't think the All-Star vote represents the popularity gap between the two of them. ”

The content of the Magic's interview quickly made the sports headlines of the New York media, and it was quickly hit back.

Abdul-Jabbar was interviewed in Los Angeles and said, "Erwin's words are biased, but I think he was right in part of what he said, and Iron Fist has a really large number of fans.

We all remember that World Champion Defending Challenge, it was a great match, Tekken didn't get hit once, he knocked out Oliver McCall with an absolute advantage, the stormy attack, the god-level dodging ability, it was gorgeous!

So he won a huge fan base, and he became a world-class popular champion and one of the greatest professional athletes on the planet.

So can't a fan be a basketball fan, can't he be an NBA fan? I strongly disagree with this statement.

Personally, I think that through the influence of Iron Fist, the NBA is winning more fans, and he is pioneering the NBA market, and the high national ratings of the supersonic rate this season prove that I am right, even during the Bulls' two-game winning streak, the Bulls' national ratings are far less than the current supersonics.

So I want to say that the All-Star vote represents the popularity of Tekken in the United States, and what the NBA needs to do is not to exclude his fans, but to convert more fans into NBA fans. ”

"Erwin has gone too far."

In New York, David Stern looked through the news content of Magic Johnson and Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar, and was a little disappointed in Magic.

This season, the situation in the NBA has developed very well, the world boxing champion, the king of crossover, these have brought Zhou Quan super influence around the world, and these influences have also brought huge worldwide influence to the NBA, which is undeniable.

This is an effect that he can't do even if he spends more than a billion dollars on publicity, but Zhou Quan has brought the development effect he dreamed of.

He is happy to see the results of this all-star vote, this year has bought a lot more satellite signal TV stations, the NBA's operating income is increasing rapidly, the NBA has firmly ranked third among the four major professional sports leagues, and is launching a strong impact on the second.

Two years ago, he hoped that Jordan would be a god, and now he hopes that Zhou Quan can be a god.

In the past, he had a regret about Zhou Quan, that is, he was not an American, but now this regret is waning, because Zhou Quan's world-class influence has transcended the limitations of his status.

To put it simply, Zhou Quan has begun to become a symbol, a symbol, that is, the crossover of professional sports, because this is an achievement that no one has achieved before, so it is particularly dazzling.

Zhou Quan's identity as the first active person in the NBA now has a lot of opposition voices, if Zhou Quan is a god, he believes that the opposition will be very high, but he also believes that there will be a lot of Americans who support Zhou Quan.

However, it is very difficult for Zhou Quan to become a god, Jordan has three championships in ten years, and there is a chance to win the championship later, even if Zhou Quan wins a dynasty with three consecutive championships, four crowns and five crowns in ten years, it is possible to suppress Jordan, but it is not convincing enough to dominate an era, let alone an overwhelming god?

On the 28th, Zhou Jun called, it was the end of the winter vacation, and he had returned to Los Angeles.

……

On February 1, the SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks on the road and came to Houston the next day.

This is the first regular season game between the SuperSonics and Mosaic, the two teams are the only two championship-level teams in the West that almost all the media think, plus the SuperSonics eliminated Mosaic in successive Western finals in the first two seasons, which belongs to the kind of mortal enemies, and has a strong personal grudge, so the attention is very large.

The game was broadcast live across the United States by ESPN and featured by Isaiah Thomas and Bill Ranbill.

The two also came to Houston on the 2nd and were interviewed by the media at the airport.

"Isaiah, who do you think is stronger in Mosaic or Hypersonic?" The journalist asked.

The assassin smiled: "At present, Mosaic is also the second in the West, and it is four wins behind the supersonics, which is a bit much, which does not match the strength of the Big Three." ”

The reporter laughed, and then asked, "Do you think Barkley's strength has slipped?" ”

"Barkley averaged 23 points and 11.6 rebounds per game last season, which is about the same statistic, shooting 50% from the field.

This season, the playing time is about the same, 37 minutes, averaging 20 points and 13 rebounds per game, and the performance is still good, but only the shooting percentage has dropped to 48.4%, and the strength has not declined much.

This season, he, Da Meng, and Glider accounted for 60% of the team's scores, and 58% of the team's shots.

Among them, the glider, who averaged 18 points per game, shot only 43.2% from the field, which was lower than the team's shooting rate of 46.8%, which was not efficient enough and dragged down the team's performance. ”

The reporter was shocked and said, "Isaiah, how do you know so much about their situation?" ”

Ranbir said angrily, "You're so stupid! Because we're going to be commenting on their game tomorrow, we have to collect and analyze their data, otherwise what are we going to say tomorrow? Discuss whether tomorrow's weather is suitable for launching rockets? ”

"Haha......" the Assassin laughed.

The reporter said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I ignored this, you guys are really serious about your work." ”

"Well, why would ESPN keep us doing it? Because we are the most professional. Ranbir said proudly.

"And who do you think is most likely to win tomorrow night?" The journalist asked.

Thomas said with some regret: "The supersonic lineup is not complete, the two main players and an important rotation are injured, this is an opportunity for the Mosaic Big Three." ”

Ranbir said disdainfully: "If the three of them can't even win the current supersonic, I think it's better to die, or retire." ”

"This bastard Ranbill!"

When Big Dream saw Ranbir's interview news from the media, he almost smashed the TV in anger.

"Oh?"

Dalya, who was wearing a turban, was startled.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm getting a little excited." He hastened to apologize.

He had divorced his first wife, and this Dalia was the second wife who had been arranged, and like him, he was a devout Muslin, and he was satisfied.

But I haven't met a few times and haven't gotten married yet. However, the wedding date has already been scheduled, just after the end of the season.

"Dingding......

"Harrow?"

"Hakim, I'm Seattle ......"

The phone rang, and a Seattle Daily reporter wanted to interview him.

"What do you want to know, Mr. Reporter?" He asked, a little stiffly.

"Hakim, I just want to know if you lose tomorrow night, will you either retire or die, as Ranbir said?" The journalist asked.

"You're going to die, bastard!"

He was so angry that he smashed his phone directly.

"Calm down, Hakim." Dalia stood up in fright.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't control my temper." Big Dream said apologetically.

……

At half past eight in the morning of the 3rd, after a dreamless night, Zhou Quan woke up from the bed and felt a hundred times more energetic.

In the evening, Compaq Centre Arena.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced their starters.

SuperSonics: Elvin Johnson, Matt Geiger, Almon Gilliam, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

Mosaics: Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Ely, Drexler, Rekasna

The Assassin said: "The Big Three, there is no doubt that other positions and benches other than the Big Three have been unable to maintain quality.

At the No. 3 position, Mario Elie is only a role player, but I can tell you the truth, in fact, he is okay, he has the strength of a normal rotation player.

But Rekasna, who was the No. 1 pick, was only an undrafted pick last season, but he's become a starting point guard who doesn't fall out of the game.

Bill, do you know who he needs to match? ”

"Don't take me for a fool, he's playing against the Iron Fist guy." Ranbir said angrily.

"So what happens?" The assassin asked with a smile.

"He's going to out." Ranbir replied like a fluent.

"Smack!"

The assassin snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "Let's look at their bench lineup again, Vernon Maxwell is gone, my God, I can't find a person who averages more than 5 points per game, what does that mean?" ”

"On behalf of the Big Three, there will be more responsibility, they will take up 60% of the team, and three people will do the work of six or seven people," Ranbir said. ”

The assassin smiled: "On the other hand, SuperSonics, Elvin Johnson, McMillan, Vincent Eschiu, the three of them can provide an average of 18 points per game, plus the rest of the rotation, the bench lineup can score at least 20 points or more, or even reach 30 points."

So I think as long as the SuperSonics are healthy, I really can't find where the Big Three are strong. The huddle of the three of them has actually ruined the team. ”

Ranbir said disdainfully: "Where is the strength? Of course, it's better to be shameless. ”

"Poof, haha......"

The assassin buried himself under the table and laughed.

In the away team's locker room, seeing this, Zhou Quan also laughed.

"Iron Fist, ESPN has kept Bill and Isaiah, probably because they dare to speak the most." Rodman, who was on the team, shouted with a grin.

"It's probably a poisonous tongue." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"These two bastards!"

"I'm going to beat them to death."

In the home dressing room, Ross Barkley and Olaju were so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

Since the three of them formed a group, in order to reduce their influence, they are actually very low-key and rarely give interviews, because they don't want to bear the bad name of holding a group, but they are so confused by the two bastards Ranbier and Thomas, they have betrayed this name.

The glider Drexler also did not look good, he was the least efficient of the three.

When he was with the Trail Blazers, he shot 46 percent from the field, and after coming to Big Dream, he was given more space and his shooting percentage increased to 50.6 percent, but this season with one more Barkley, his efficiency has also dropped by seven percentage points.

The reason is also very clear, he has a bit of a lot of injuries, his health is not very good, and the decline is serious.

"We've got to kill the supersonic and get the iron fist over." Big Dream stood up and shouted at the others with his fists at him.

"Knock over the Iron Fist!" Barkley shouted excitedly.

After a while, the two starters met in the players' tunnel.
