That night, TNT TV held a live show about the NBA Finals in Seattle, inviting several guests to host the Magic Bird group.

At eight o'clock, the show began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Age of Demon Birds."

After a few opening remarks, the Magic Bird Group invited the guests to enter.

The guests invited were very interesting, including O'Neal, who had just been eliminated, as well as Big Dream and Barkley, as well as the Smiling Assassin, a total of four people, and TNT spent a lot of notice fees.

"Gentlemen, there's only one topic for tonight, the finals." Larry Bird grinned.

Magic Johnson said: "The finals will give rise to some topics, such as Jordan and Iron Fist, such as the ownership of the first person in the active service, such as the era of the Flyer and the era of Iron Fist, you can also talk about it, you can talk freely." ”

"Does it also include the topic of the all-time No. 1 point guard, the god of point guards?" The assassin shouted.

"Poof!" O'Neill laughed.

The magician's face is a little dark, he is a little resentful of Big Bird, this guy who makes him annoying was invited by Larry Bird, and there are many superstars, why should he be invited?

Larry Bird grinned and pulled away from the embarrassing topic for the Magician, saying, "Whoever comes first, let's talk about which team has the better chance of winning the championship." ”

"Of course I'm qualified to comment, none of them have the credentials to be champions, and I have three, so I don't think they can analyze the situation correctly." ”

Big Dream, Barkley, O'Neal and the others were already pale, and their eyes revealed that they might pounce on the assassin and kill him in the next second.

"I think the SuperSonics are going to win because Jordan never proved that he can defend against Tekken, and Ron Harper has a worse defense, and he can't defend against Tekken." The Assassin said.

"But the Bulls' strong perimeter defense can kill others, Schramf will be targeted by Pippen, Jordan will be targeted by Hawkins, and the supersonic outside can only rely on Iron Fist to score alone." Barkley retorted immediately.

Big Dream also said: "On the inside, Rodman's offense can be ignored, Gilliam averaged 10 points per game at most in the Finals, and Matt Geiger is even worse.

And in terms of bench lineup, it seems that the Bulls are better, and the SuperSonics will definitely not take advantage of the bench time.

Under the Bulls' strong outside defense, the supersonic offensive firepower will be forced to focus on Iron Fist alone, and the offense of others will not be able to play, even if he scores 60 or 70 points, it will be useless. ”

O'Neal immediately retorted: "Maybe Iron Fist can play an average of 10 steals per game, Jordan is locked by him, and the Bulls are lost." ”

"That can't be, do you really think he's God?" Barkley immediately shouted.

"He's the god of steals, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that." O'Neill immediately retorted.

"This ......"

Barkley choked and argued: "His career is still too short to fully prove his tackling ability, I think at least seven or eight seasons to maintain an average of more than 5 steals per game before he can have a face to be called the god of steals, right?" ”

"Huh!"

The Assassin and O'Neill sneered.

The assassin sneered: "That means that the topic of the god of point guard and the first point guard in history can't be talked about, otherwise you will say again, his career is too short to fully prove his point guard strength, at least seven or eight seasons to maintain an average of ...... per game Fliggy, how many assists do you say? Is 15 times enough? ”

"Statistically speaking, 15 assists per game, seven to eight seasons at the peak, am I wrong?" Barkley was unconvinced.

Big Dream said: "I think Charles is right, you have to call the god of point guards, and the data should be better than what Charles said, otherwise why should you be called a god?" At most, the king of point guards. ”

Barkley got the help of the big dream, and his confidence increased greatly, and he said: "Also, if you want to be a god, you must match a considerable hard honor, and you must overwhelm the hard honor of all point guards in history, and it is an overwhelming honor."

For example, Erwin has 5 championships, and Iron Fist needs to win at least 5 championships, and a three-in-a-row dynasty to prove that he surpasses Erwin in this regard.

I think it should be like this, otherwise what qualifications do you have to compete for the first point guard in history, let alone the god of point guards. ”

The assassin thought, well, that's right, Iron Fist is indeed a little worse at the moment, and he doesn't have enough qualifications, and this is only his fifth season.

In front of the TV, Zhou Quan heard this and felt that his road was still very long, and it was impossible for these Americans to easily convince him to be a Chinese, just like Barkley said, overwhelming hard honor.

What does it mean to be overwhelming? It is an undoubted advantage, an all-round advantage, an advantage without any disputes, an absolute advantage.

However, he is not in a hurry, the so-called coffin conclusion, with his current status in the world's sports circles, there will eventually be a fair evaluation, and the American media and these NBA players cannot influence the conclusions of the world's media.

……

June 2, 1996, NBA Finals Game Day G1.

On this day, many celebrities and NBA stars rushed to Seattle.

It's more media from all over the world, not because of the influence of the NBA, but because of the influence of the king of crossover and the world champion of professional heavyweights.

At noon on the same day, the team headquarters informed Zhou Quan that the number of international media that applied for a press permit from SuperSonics reached 175, including as many as 65 Asian media, plus American media, more than 240 media.

Zhou Quan estimated that two rows of seats on the sidelines would have to be removed to accommodate so many reporters and their long guns and cannons.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a few flat-headed boys arrived at the Seattle airport.

"Oh, that's Aaron Iverson? This year's hottest champion show. ”

"And Kobe Bryant, I know him, that high school student is very bold and no one is convinced."

"Stephen Marbury, one of the top picks."

"And Ray Allen, Raheem, Marcus Camby."

"Oh, aren't they in New York for the NBA's official rookie camp? I remember it started on the 17th. ”

"Yesterday was over, I didn't expect a few of them to appear here today."

As soon as a few boys appeared, they were discovered by some reporters waiting at the airport and immediately rushed over.

"Alan Iverson, are you here to see the finals?" A reporter preemptively asked.

"Yes, everyone wanted to come and see it, and I wanted to, so we came." Iverson looked very happy when he was asked the first question, and nodded.

"Your hairstyles are similar to Iron Fist's, they are all the same, are you all learning from his hairstyle?" Another reporter asked.

Iverson touched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, this is called a small flat head, and this hairstyle is more popular now, and it looks very energetic." ”

"It's trending right now."

Marbury also said, and Kobe Bryant and a few others also nodded.

"Jordan, Iron Fist, who do you prefer?" A reporter asked.

"I used to like Jordan more, he's my idol." Kobe Bryant said first.

"Why?" A reporter asked.

"Because he's more pure, I'm a point guard, I just like to score and keep scoring."

Kobe Bryant shook his head and said, speaking of which, the conversation changed sharply, but he said, "But now I seem to prefer Iron Fist." ”

"Why?"

Kobe Bryant said excitedly: "Because he is a professional heavyweight world champion, he is the king of crossovers, this is incredible!"

And this season he played so many 50+, 50+ in the half, and averaged 37.3 points per game this season. The Western Finals are two consecutive 50+ games, with 30 points in a single quarter.

God, his offense this season has been overwhelming, and I just found out that he can score so much, it's amazing!

Also, his defense is also too good, he is super strong in steals and blocks, especially in steals, which is a crazy defensive ability, anyone who touches it has to go crazy, and he is now my new idol. ”

"What do you most want to learn from him?" The journalist asked.

"Boxing." Kobe Bryant blurted out.

"What?"

A few reporters who interviewed thought they had misheard, aren't you playing basketball, is it true that the hidden profession is boxing?

Kobe Bryant said excitedly: "I also want to cross borders, I can make money too much, and he has also gained the attention of the whole world, ten times more famous than Jordan's influence overseas, these are the things I admire most about Iron Fist." ”

"I see."

A few reporters got it.

"Aaron, what about you, who do you prefer?" A reporter asked.

Iverson saw that Kobe Bryant said a lot of things and stole the limelight, and he quickly said: "I used to like Jordan, but now, like Kobe, I prefer Iron Fist."

I think he's better than Jordan, maybe the offense is about the same, but the ability to assist, the ability to defend, especially the ability to block, my God, he actually played 5*5 stats in the playoffs twice, it's incredible! ”

Marbury hurriedly said: "I like to see him block the super centers of the big dream, there are a lot of them in the West this time, God, the point guard blocks the super center, it's too enjoyable!" I hope to do that one day, too. ”

Iverson added: "But what I want most is the tackling ability of an iron fist. Oh, it's incredible, I'm learning his tackling skills. ”

In fact, he still hasn't said a word, what he really wants to have the most is the big core play style of Iron Fist, and he also wants to control every ball like Iron Fist.

"I'd love to have his tackling skills the most." Kobe Bryant also immediately shouted.

Ray Allen was the quietest and said: "I want to have his defensive and offensive qualities. ”

After a few people were stunned, Kobe Bryant pouted and said, "Ray, you think more." ”

"Haha......" several people laughed.

At this time, a reporter said: "But none of you have a draft template for him, Kobe Bryant's template is Grant Hill, Iverson's template is a smiling assassin, Marbury's template is Kenny Anderson, why?" ”

A few little flat heads, you look at me, I look at you, Kobe Bryant suddenly said: "Everyone's talent is different, we are all the only ourselves, in fact, I don't want to be a template." ”

"Me too."

Iverson and Marbury said at the same time.

The faces of the three people all showed a rebellious and untamable look.

At the end of the interview, after Iverson and the others left, several reporters were there to discuss.

"This year's draft is said to be a big year, and Magic Johnson and smiling assassins Thomas, Jordan, and Iron Fist have single-handedly played the era of super guards, and the draft market of these rookie guards this year is indeed very good."

"They're in good time, they haven't entered the league yet, they've signed signed shoe contracts, and Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen are also millions of dollars a year."

"Yes, Iron Fist signed the signed sneaker contract when he was an All-Star in his rookie season, which was very sensational at the time, which shows that the development of the NBA in recent years has been really fast, and rookies can get signed sneakers."

……

"Jun."

"Brother, sister-in-law."

At six o'clock in the afternoon of the 1st, Zhou Quan and Zeng Li picked up Zhou Jun at the airport, and Zhou Jun was actually two months older than Zeng Li.

He happened to be on summer vacation, three months, and this time he was going to stay until the end of the finals, and then the three of them would return home together.

"Jun, how are you doing at UCLA?" After getting into the car, Zhou Quan asked.

"With your signboard here, I didn't encounter any problems there, and even racial discrimination rarely happened to me." Zhou Jun said with a smile.

"That's good." Zhou Quan nodded and smiled.

Zhou Jun said with admiration: "Brother, since you won the World Boxing Championship, now you have a great influence in UCLA, Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Wharton are not as famous as you in school, and your name is placed in the column of the most well-known alumni in UCLA." ”

"It seems that I have to donate some money, and the school's network can't be lost." Zhou Quan said thoughtfully.

"Brother, how about the finals, it's no problem to defend the title, right? At school, people kept asking me about this. But the most asked question is when you're going to defend your title and when you're going to play Tyson. Zhou Jun asked again.

"Don't worry about this, tell me what you gained after studying at UCLA for a year, right?" Zhou Quan asked as he drove.

Zhou Jun sighed and said: "Harvest, the tuition and accommodation fees are so expensive, I didn't know before, brother, you didn't tell me, I later learned that the average American student applies for student loans, and I heard that it takes many years to pay off, and some people have not paid off the loans after retirement." ”

"Retired and haven't paid off your college loan?" Zeng Li's surprise said.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "That's a minority, it's too bad, the average middle-class should be able to repay the loan after ten to fifteen years of work, at the age of forty." ”

Zeng Lifu was a little dumbfounded, what is the difference between this and a lifetime?

Zhou Jun said: "Brother, I only know now why you played basketball and ice hockey at that time, and your family can't afford your expenses at UCLA." ”

Zhou Quan nodded and said: "The family only made up the money for the first semester at that time, I don't go to play ice hockey and basketball, I have to brush the dishes, work part-time, and the family has to continue to borrow money from me. ”

Zhou Jun sighed and said: "So brother, it was really not easy for you at that time, I don't care about anything now, just study." ”

Zhou Quan smiled: "You read well, I can tell you, after reading, you will return to China for development, don't think about staying here."

In the past few years, the country is developing, and there are new changes every year when you go back, you don't miss it, if you miss it, you will regret it later.

In my opinion, the next twenty or thirty years will be a critical period for our country, and those historical chastity and governance can last for at least a few decades.

I'm going back this time, and I'm going to let my dad do some business. By the way, I mentioned to him a few years ago, selling cars, engaging in 4S stores, economic development, people's income will increase, consumption power will come up, and the domestic demand for cars will definitely be great in the future. If you look at the whole world, every place where the economy has developed, cars are a necessity.

There are also real estate and the Internet, which are very hot investment industries in the United States now, and the investment income is very large, and it must rise in China sooner or later.

In addition, manufacturing is the only way to industrialization, and our country is the same, to industrialization, we must and will vigorously develop the manufacturing industry, which is also an industry that can be invested. ”

"Can I open my coffee shop in China?" Zeng asked Tanuki.

"Of course, you can try to open one in BJ first, and you can also do it in Shanghai, but I'm afraid you can only open a low-end store like Starbucks, and the current consumption capacity in China is still not good." Zhou Quan said.

"It's not okay to mix styles, one brand, one style, I think it's better to re-establish a company," Zeng said.

"Yes, if you want to do it, you can go back this time, and you can prepare now. Call my dad first, he's in the capital during this time, and ask him to find you a store first. Zhou Quan said.

"Sister-in-law's branch is opening tomorrow, right?" Zhou Jun asked.

"Yes, it's just taking advantage of your brother's popularity in the finals to advertise." Zeng Li smiled.

"Then I wish my sister-in-law's coffee shop will open all over the world sooner or later." Zhou Jun immediately sent congratulations.

Zhou Quan said suspiciously: "Xiaojun, you have been here for a year, your mouth has become sweeter, and you can speak, I think you are almost the same as Xiao Yezi." ”

"Brother, I'm older now, and there are always some changes. I also participated in a lot of social activities and joined some social groups at UCLA. Zhou Jun said embarrassedly.

"That's a good thing, praise you." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother!" Zhou Jun said happily.
