At the scene, Zhou Quan was being interviewed by ESPN TV pair after the game.

There were a lot of media reporters around, including some domestic reporters.

"Iron Fist, you didn't play at the last moment, do you have any regrets?" The journalist asked.

"There are a few, but it's good to get 60 points, very good." Zhou Quan smiled.

"You're only the third person in league history to score 60+ in a single playoff game against the Big Three, how would you rate your performance tonight?" The journalist asked.

"Immodestly, I want to use 'great' to describe my performance tonight, do you agree?" Zhou Quan smiled.

"I think anyone would agree, including your opponent tonight."

The reporter smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Even if Mosaic adopts the tactic of pulling away and pinning you near the sideline today, you also sent 6 tackles, how did you do it?" ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I have three times in the first quarter, and the average of one steal in each quarter in the next three quarters is very few, and their tactics really limit my steal ability." ”

"Haha......"

The reporter laughed and finally asked: "So Iron Fist, almost all the media are more optimistic about the Big Three, but you beat the Big Three with a 60-point performance, what do you think of this game?" ”

"Including you ESPN, I remember your prediction was that we were 49 percent, Mosaic 51 percent." Zhou Quan interjected with a smile.

The reporter snorted, and Zhou Quan continued: "In the next series, I am still full of confidence, because the performance of the Big Three is not so desperate, from scoring to offensive efficiency, I don't think they played a dominant performance."

Of course, screwing it out alone, Da Meng can also be said to have played a dominant performance, and he did dominate two paint areas. ”

The reporter finally asked: "Iron Fist, do you think you ruled the Big Three tonight?" ”

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "You say yes, I won't say no." ”

"Haha......"

The reporter and the people around him burst into laughter.

After the ESPN interview, Zhou Quan accepted another interview with those domestic reporters.

It is said that the mosaic team returned to the locker room, like a group of soldiers who had lost a battle, and after entering, they closed the door and vented, making it bang inside, and the roar of the big dream vent was heard very clearly outside.

After it was quiet inside, a gymnasium staff pushed open the door and stuck his head in to observe the situation, which was one of his jobs, and he had to assess the damage in time.

"Look at what? Close the door for me. ”

Big Dream stared at the staff viciously and yelled.

Seeing that Da Meng was going to eat people, the staff was not afraid at all, and he sneered and said: "Two iron wardrobes, a trash can, three stools, a massage table, a TV, which of you pays the bill, I can inform the finance to send you a bill." ”

"Bastard!"

Da Meng kicked a trash can away and scolded: "Give it all to me, I will pay the bill." ”

"Now it's two trash cans." The staff took a look at the trash can, which was clearly deformed, and immediately said.

“Out！” Big Dream roared.

"Alright, sir, you go out first, we will take care of everything here." Tomjanovich said.

The staff finally closed the door, and Big Dream was pulled back into his seat by Barkley.

There was silence in the locker room, like a dead man.

Two minutes later, Barkley's deep voice rang out: "I didn't expect the three of us to fight one, and he won." This bastard, did he take his pills tonight, so good to touch. ”

Da Meng said angrily: "Do you know what medicine can make the hand feel so good, you can also take some yourself, and bring some to Clyde by the way." ”

"What are you angry at me? Are you saying we're inefficient? Barkley said with anger suppressed.

"Nope. Sorry, Charles, I didn't mean that. Big Dream reacted and suppressed his anger.

"Blame me for losing, my play is a drag on you." The glider said in a low tone.

"Clyde, don't say that, we're brothers, I just said the wrong thing." Da Meng also calmed down and hurriedly apologized.

At this time, Tomjanovic said: "Iron Fist's performance tonight is not a regular performance, he will never play like this on every game, you should know that.

So calm down, when you encounter such a historical-level super luxury performance, it is not surprising to lose, tonight's iron fist, see who destroys whom.

If Jordan had been able to hit the field with an iron fist tonight, he would have won that fight and wouldn't have been swept by the big birdies. ”

Barkley nodded: "He didn't really break into the basket a few times tonight, he didn't make many free throws, and the scoring in the positional battle mainly relied on the emergency stop jump shot, no matter how he shot, 62.5% shooting, 60 points, no one is useful." ”

"Coach, how are we going to play after the game?" Big Dream asked in a deep voice.

Tomjanovic was a little hesitant to use the point guard to pull away the defense that held back Iron Fist tonight, so the point guard was rarely involved in the offense, but Iron Fist still had six steals.

But on second thought, if you don't use this tactic, maybe Iron Fist can send two six-steals, so what else is there to play?

"If we are still playing like this, we have to keep the iron fist defense on the flank and attack from the other wing." He said firmly.

Big Dream thought about it and said: "He doesn't consume much on the defensive end, and he can save a lot of energy, so we couldn't play in the final quarter just now, and he ......"

Speaking of which, he thought of Zhou Quan's performance of 12 points in less than five minutes in the second half of the final quarter, and he couldn't go on.

Tomjanovic had a headache, yes, the pull away tactic did contain and limit some of the defensive ability of Iron Fist, but it saved him energy.

Soon after, the two teams held a post-match press conference.

"Hakim, what do you think of Tekken's performance tonight?" The New York Times reporter, who was the first to ask, asked.

Da Meng said with a straight face: "I won't deny it, he played well tonight." ”

"Is it just good?" The reporter asked.

'Very good, he played well enough.' Big Dream gritted his teeth.

"Where do you think Mosaic will lose tonight?" The reporter asked again.

Big Dream thought and said, "Efficiency, offensive efficiency, we need more offensive efficiency. ”

"So do you think the reason for the lack of offensive efficiency is a problem of offensive tactics or a problem of individual strength?" The reporter asked.

Big Dream was silent for a moment, damn journalist, how did he answer that? To offend the manager, or to offend Barkley and Drexler?

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, we haven't discussed this yet. ”

The next reporter asked, "Charles, who do you think has a better chance of reaching the finals in this series?" ”

"Of course we are." Barkley said angrily.

"Do you think Iron Fist can still perform like this?" The reporter asked again.

"Do you think he's God? He may never be able to perform like this again in his life. Barkley airway.

"Glider, Smiling Assassin and Ranbir don't think you deserve the title of giant, what do you think?" The next reporter asked.

"I never said what kind of giant I was, I don't know why they targeted me, I was traded, I didn't ask for it, I never thought about hugging, and I never thought about hugging anyone's thighs." The glider was filled with grief and indignation.

Da Meng went down with his fist and slammed it on the table, startling many people, he stood up suddenly, stared at everyone angrily and roared:

"Ranbir's two bastards are in the same league as Iron Fist, they just want to mess with our mentality, and we won't be fooled.

The series has just begun, and we're going to let Tekken know that if he doesn't have what it takes to play tonight every night, then we're going to be the one to win. ”

"Hakim, calm down." Tomjanovic hurried to clean up the situation.

Then another reporter asked: "Mr. Head Coach, how do you think the Big Three team is playing?" ”

Tomjanovich sighed secretly, and then said, "I'm sorry that I didn't fuse the power of the three of them together.

In fact, this problem has always existed in the regular season, and the three of them almost all play their own games, each of them leading their own teams to play for a while, and their compatibility is not high. ”

These words made the mood of the three of them even worse.

……

"Zhou Quan, the NBA's first active player, scored 60 points in the second round of G1 and defeated the Mosaic Big Three with strong individual ability." Tokyo Daily.

"60 points in a single game, the shooting rate is as high as 62.5%, the iron fist plays a god-level performance, and the mosaic triumvirate is facing collapse." New york times.

On the 21st, a large number of American media sang praises for Zhou Quan's 60 points in a single game, and many international media also focused on reporting.

At ten o'clock in the morning, at the hotel where Mosaic was staying, Big Dream received a bill from the Seattle Center Gymnasium, which was forwarded by the team's general manager, Steve Patterson.

This is the bill for the destruction of the dressing room after last night's game, and he looked directly at the final amount and blew it up on the spot.

"$22,860? Are they crazy? This is blackmail! Extort! I'm going to call the police, call the police! He snarled as he waved the bill.

Patterson advised, "Calm down, Hakim, we don't take care of this, you did make a mess there." ”

"That's not worth that much money!" Big Dream glared.

Patterson said helplessly: "I know, so you can let your lawyer talk to the gymnasium, and you don't have to give so much." ”

"Don't you know what they're doing it for? They're trying to interfere with me, they're distracting me from the series. Big Dream said angrily.

"That's why you let your lawyer talk about it, not let you talk about it, you focus on the game, and you can just know about it." Patterson said patiently.

"I'll let the lawyer know."

Da Meng snorted angrily, hissed, and tore the bill directly.

……

Zhou Quan didn't get up until 11 o'clock in the morning, he played a super explosive state last night, and there were still some sequelae, he was a little weak after excessive mental consumption, and at the same time his spirit was too excited.

Although he slept for a long time, more than ten hours, he didn't sleep well, his physical and mental recovery was poor, but fortunately, he still had a day to rest, and he still had a chance to adjust his state and strive to get a good night's sleep tonight.

I woke up and moved a bit, then had lunch, and after lunch, I slept in the café on the pier.

This return to the cage sleep is good, even very good, after the practice posture is quickly settled, I slept until two o'clock in the afternoon before waking up.

Although I only slept for an hour and a half, I didn't dream, and almost all of them were in a state of deep sleep, and when I woke up, my spirits were much better, and the effect was even better than last night's ten hours of sleep.

It happened that Zhang Li and Xu Jicheng came over, and he called his three basketball trainers, and after having afternoon tea together, several people helped him with ball-holding offensive training.

Zeng Licheng was a cheerleader, Xu Jicheng was responsible for statistics, Zhang Li was responsible for picking up and passing the ball to him, and the three trainers were responsible for defense, with confrontation and bagging.

There is a limit to the time of each offense, starting from receiving the ball, whether it is a breakthrough attack with the ball or an outside jumper, you must complete the offense within five seconds.

Counting the passing and receiving of the ball, about every eight seconds, seven or eight ball-carrying attacks per minute, one round every three minutes, and then a one-minute break before the next round, he has to complete ten rounds of training.

It took nearly 50 minutes of training to end, 10 rounds is 30 minutes, and about 200 offensive training with the ball, in the case of double and triple wrapping throughout the whole process, the intensity is no less than playing half of the fierce game.

At this time, Xu Jicheng came over with the statistical table and said: "Xiao Zhou, a total of 205 attacks with the ball, hit 89 goals, and the shooting rate is 43.4%.

17-of-45 three-pointers, 37.8 percent shooting; 57 of 137 shots, a shooting rate of 41.6%; He shot 15-of-23 from the field and shot 65.2 percent from the field.

The detailed data of the mid-range shooting is that he shot 31 of 74 from the distance and shot 41.9%; 18-of-42 from the field, shooting 42.9 percent; He shot 8-of-21 from the last two points and shot 38.1 percent. ”

Zeng Lifu ran over in small steps, and said with some worry: "Husband, it's almost 19 percentage points lower than yesterday's game." ”

Zhang Reasonable smiled: "Xiao Zeng, don't worry, this is a three-person package throughout the whole process, one hit three, and can hit 43.4% of the shooting rate, which is very good, Jordan should not be able to play this efficiency." ”

"Not bad?"

Zeng Li was relieved when he heard this, but he still asked Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan nodded with a smile and said, "The state is barely okay." However, this is training, and the intensity of the confrontation must not be compared with the real game, so these statistics have to be discounted. ”

"That's not bad, three-person bag!" Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Li nodded and said: "You can't pass the ball yet, your threat with the ball will be reduced by half, and it's really good to have this efficiency." ”

On this night, the G1 battle of the East Finals began.

"Shaq, I wish you a good start on the road."

The game started at eight o'clock, and at seven o'clock Zhou Quan called O'Neill to cheer him on.

"Iron Fist, their inside line can't stop me, I can solve them with one hand, we'll see you in the finals." O'Neill bull B coaxed and swore authentically.

Zhou Quan believed it, and really thought that O'Neal and Hardaway could pose a certain threat to the Bulls, but he was very disappointed.

At 89:111, the Bulls slaughtered the Magic at the Union Center to win by 22 points.

Jordan didn't exert any strength at all, and even only showed six or seven percent of his strength, shooting 9 of 17, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and only got 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Pippen took more shots, scoring only 18 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal on 7-of-20 shooting.

But the Bulls had a total of six players in double figures and grabbed 50 rebounds.

The Magic, on the other hand, only had two double-doubles and grabbed just 40 rebounds.

O'Neal and Hardaway scored 27 and 38 points respectively, while the other three starters combined for eight points, a performance that can only be described as rubbish.

"Is anyone else waste except sharks and pennies?"

After watching this game, Zhou Quan felt that it was not very good, the Magic would be swept if it was not good, and the Bulls would probably get the advantage of waiting for work in the finals.

"Shark, you're not as good as a penny, why don't you hug my thigh?" Worried, he made another phone call to comfort O'Neill.

O'Neal had already lost the game, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he shouted: "Iron Fist, we are no longer friends." ”

"Okay, no kidding."

Zhou Quan laughed, and said: "Seriously, Shark, your contract hasn't been finalized yet, the Magic are now focused on Hardaway, what they want is Jordan, Penny will perform better than you tonight, have you decided?" ”

O'Neill was very irritated, and looked up at Hardaway on the other side, just as Hardaway also looked over, and the two immediately looked away after making eye contact.

Not only did Penny score 38 points tonight, but he also shot 71.4 percent from the field, and his shooting percentage was 61.9 percent, which really overwhelmed him.

With some helplessness, he said: "Let's talk about it after the playoffs." ”

"Then come on, even if you help me, don't be swept by Jordan." Zhou Quan encouraged.

"How is that possible?"

O'Neill was so angry that he almost jumped up, and shouted angrily: "You yourself may not be able to break through the Mosaic Triumvirate?" ”

"Can those three huddlers stop me?"

Zhou Quan said disdainfully: "If they have that ability, what kind of group will they hold?" Did you see Jordan huddle? ”

"Back at home, I'll take Jordan down." O'Neill yelled and hung up.

Zhou Quan put down the phone here, got up and went to sleep.

He was still very impressed by the game just now, the Bulls' outside defense was too strong, and no one else could score points if they defended the Magic.

But Hardaway's performance on the court also led him to conclude that the Bulls' perimeter defense is indeed strong, but it can't stop everything.

But Hardaway is really strong, and Jordan's style is really similar, playing like this, in this era of super guards, the Magic will only focus on him and ignore O'Neal.

That said, O'Neal will almost certainly leave the Magic next season, so the fate of a super center, or even an epoch-making heavy super center, is enough to affect the league.

Said good night to Zeng Li, he returned to the second bedroom, closed the curtains, came out of the bathroom to look at the time, and at half past ten, after going to bed, he put down the practice posture and began to practice sleeping pill gong.

With the entry of Sleep Dangong, it is easier to settle down, and now he is pursuing a possibility, that is, to strive for a certain degree of control of his mental and physical state.

The purpose is to ensure that the body can reach a better state in the most critical competition.

For example, in tomorrow's G2 battle, he really wants to win, two consecutive wins at home, the advantage is in hand, and if he loses, he will be passive.

Therefore, he hopes that tonight he can enter the state of practicing Gong as soon as possible, settle down as soon as possible, enter a deep sleep, and adjust his body and spirit to the best through sleeping Dangong.

Of course, the successive outbursts, with all that follow, will definitely have a period of exhaustion, which will produce stronger sequelae, which will not be conducive to the away games behind, which is also in his consideration.

As he breathed in, the chaotic thoughts in his mind slowly decreased, and his spirit and spirit slowly began to converge and enter the center.
