Phil Jackson said with some regret: "It's a pity that the superSonics don't let Schramf and Hawkins attack with the ball, and when the iron fist is like this, they won't pass the ball to their teammates who have defenders in front of them, but only pass the open space, otherwise it's better to force him to pass the ball out." ”

Jordan and Pippen both shook their heads, of course that's good, no matter who Schramf or Hawkins attacks with the ball, both of them can defend it, but that won't happen, the SuperSonics only have one attacker with the ball, and that's Iron Fist.

At this time, all the straps on Jordan's feet were lifted, he put on his slippers, got up and opened the cabinet, took the deodorant and a special iron brush, and went to take a shower.

……

On the 3rd, Zhou Quan got up at half past nine in the morning and slept for nine hours.

The sleep is okay, although the spirit is a little tired, but there are still two days and one night to recover and adjust.

The weather in Seattle during this time is not bad, the average temperature during the day is 22 degrees, and the highest at noon reaches 26 degrees, Zeng Lixi went to the coffee shop, Zhou Jun also went to help, and he will come back at noon, he went to the dock alone after breakfast.

The villa is on the edge of the one-way road around the lake, more than 20 meters away from the roadside, behind the villa is the wharf, and a large platform on the second floor is built into an open-air swimming pool, which is on the lake and next to the wharf.

The glass house on the pier only opened a few windows, there was no wind inside, and the temperature in the house was a few degrees higher, reaching 30 degrees at noon.

was in a daze, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, Rodman, Stallone, Arnold, Roberts, O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Bill Wharton, Abdul-Jabbar and others came over to play.

Stallone also brought his new girlfriend, Jennifer Flavin, who just gave birth to a daughter for him this year, and Sofia, who is only four months old.

He arranged the crowd at the dock to bask in the sun with him.

Sylvester Stallone took off his coat to bask in the sun, wearing a tight vest inside, and a large tattoo was exposed on his back.

"Rocky, you're not going to have Lady Luck tattooed on you, are you?" Zhou Quan teased.

Stallone laughed, grabbed Flavin's waist, and said with a smile: "It's Jennifer, I'm going to tattoo one here on my right shoulder, it's a symbol of our love." ”

Vlavin, who was holding Sofia, smiled sweetly, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was indeed good.

"When you get married, you must inform me." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"We have a plan, just next year. But Iron Fist, you have to inform me of your wedding date before I can inform you. Smith said with a smile.

"Of course."

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "After the finals, I will go back to China to get married, and then come back to prepare for the title defense, and I will invite you to dinner in Los Angeles when I come back." ”

"Don't you have a wedding in the United States?" Roberts was a little surprised.

"Then we have to go to China to attend your wedding, we can't help but attend your wedding, right? There are so many of us, I'm afraid there will be a problem with the timing, I think you will have another wedding in the United States, right? Arnold said.

"Yes, Iron Fist, you can't afford not to invite us to your wedding, can you?" Rodman and the others shouted.

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll hold a simpler wedding in the United States, and invite you to attend at that time." ”

"That's for the best." Everyone said.

"Iron Fist, I heard that you have done a good job in investing? Well, it's a good coffee. Stallone said as he sipped his coffee.

"I hired a lot of baristas to blend it, and the raw materials are also selected Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans." Zhou Quan introduced.

Roberts also thought the coffee was good, and said with a smile: "Iron Fist, Zeng, I want to join her shop and open a coffee shop in Los Angeles, business should be good." ”

Zhou Quan smiled and said to Roberts: "She is in the coffee shop, she will come back later, you can talk to her about opening a branch." I felt that her coffee shop had gained some experience and it was time to start expanding. ”

After speaking, he said to Stallone: "Rocky, I do have some investments, most of them are good, do you want to try?" ”

"Of course."

Sylvester Stallone smiled, and Arnold and the others also looked interested.

Bill Wharton said with some frustration: "Last year, Iron Fist introduced us to buy Microsoft shares, but unfortunately we didn't follow, and we lost a lot, and now the stock price has reached a new high." ”

"Me too." Reggie Miller et al. said.

"I'm following, I've made millions of dollars, and I don't have to go bankrupt now." Rodman triumphantly authentic.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I invested in a website last year, selling books, I remember telling you that this year has developed well, and the company's founder has a very strong ability and vision, and I have the opportunity to introduce you to the game." ”

"Count me in."

Roberts said decisively.

"Count me in."

Sylvester Stallone and others said one after another.

At this time, Zeng Lixi came back, and it was noon, and after seeing Roberts, she was very conscious as a hostess, and hurriedly began to arrange lunch.

After lunch, everyone shouted that they wanted to go to sea, of course Zhou Quan had no opinion, and asked the housekeeper Mei Lan Wellington to prepare first, replenish the yacht, and he took the opportunity to practice at the dock for half an hour.

Entering the Pacific Ocean along the canal, Zhou Quan taught others how to drive a yacht, and at the same time took the time to say to Zeng Li: "After the finals, Ahri, let's drive the boat to Los Angeles to play?" ”

"Running around the coastline, it may be tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth, and it takes many days to drive."

Zeng Li felt bad, first, it was too far, it took at least ten days to drive back and forth, and secondly, this thing was too fuel-intensive, with hundreds of liters of fuel consumption per hour, and it was estimated that the fuel cost would cost more than 100,000 US dollars.

"That's right, forget it."

If you want to return to China in a hurry to get married, you really don't have time, so Zhou Quan immediately said like a stream.

……

No. 4, Finals G2 match day.

This morning, the league announced a major event, after the Finals, the official selection of the 50 greatest superstars in the 50 years of the NBA league's existence.

Zhou Quan doesn't care much about this, because with his current achievements, it is enough to be selected into the top 50 superstar lineup.

"Iron Fist, how did you sleep last night?"

"Iron Fist King, did you have a dream last night?"

"Confidentiality."

"That's good?"

"No comment."

"Iron Fist, seeing that you are in good spirits, you must have slept well."

"It's still a secret."

As soon as Zhou Quan arrived at the central gymnasium, a group of reporters ran up when they saw him, but they asked a question about sleeping last night, and he felt that this kind of question would become a regular question for reporters to ask him in the future.

"Zhou Quan, did you sleep well last night?"

"Zhou Quan, did you sleep well these two nights?"

"Zhou Quan ......"

After the foreign reporter asked, a group of domestic reporters gathered around and asked again, and it was still the same kind of question, and he could only deal with it in the same way, without revealing any information.

"Iron Fist, how did you sleep?"

Zhou Quan came to the locker room, and head coach George Karl immediately asked.

Zhou Quan glanced at the others, obviously concerned about this issue, they all looked at him, there was no need to keep it secret here, he smiled and said, "I slept okay." ”

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, they suddenly thought that they might not be able to understand his words with their comprehension ability, and hurriedly added, "It's not bad." ”

"Oh roar!"

Schramf and the others suddenly cheered, and the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly improved.

At this time, outside the visiting locker room, two Chicago and one Miami media reporters were talking to Phil Jackson.

"Sorry, Mr. Jackson, we didn't get any news, the Iron Fist kept his sleep a secret, and didn't tell us anything."

"I even asked a few Chinese reporters to find out the news, but the Iron Fist King didn't even tell them, so I was too careful!"

Phil Jackson was very disappointed, he specially found these familiar reporters to find out the news, but he didn't expect Iron Fist to be so cautious.

In this way, it is impossible to decide on the trap tactics in advance, so you can only fight a dozen first and see the state of the iron fist.

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

Bulls: Kevin Willis, Luke Longley, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper

Hypersonics: Matt Geiger, Rodman, Schramf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

"Oh, the bulls have changed formations, is this going to use the twin towers? But on the twin towers, the speed of the inner line is too slow, and the supersonic offensive and defensive conversion rhythm is very fast, and the inner line can't keep up at all, right? Larry Bird said with a little surprise.

Magic Johnson analyzed: "The Bulls mainly rely on outside defense, the outside defense is the first in the league, and the return defense does not rely much on the inside, so the twin towers have no impact." ”

Larry Bird thought about it for a while, and said: "Luke Longley started on top, the interior offense weakened, the ability to pull away weakened, but the strength of the bench lineup was enhanced, and this arrangement can also be used." ”

The magic man added: "Luke Longley has increased the height and tonnage of the interior line, as well as confrontation, he is a meat shield center, and his ability is average, I think Coach Phil Jackson's main consideration is to strengthen the bench lineup, right?" ”

The two analyzed and analyzed, in fact, Phil Jackson considered it very simply, one is to enhance the bench lineup, and the effect of Kukoc's entry into the bench lineup is immediate;

Second, if Zhou Quan's state is not good tonight, he must enhance the breakthrough score, so strengthen the confrontation and height of the inside line.

Kevin Willis is in average condition, mostly on the outside of the jumper, can no longer score under the basket, after Luke Langley goes up, he can use the height to play more basket offense.

At this time, Larry Bird suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just curious now, how did Iron Fist sleep these two nights?" ”

"Haha......"

Magic Johnson couldn't help but laugh, and he was very curious.

"Today's announcement that the league will select the top 50 superstars at the end of the season is a big deal for many stars, because once selected, it will represent his place in the league's history." Larry Bird said.

"Yes, I heard that there is another award ceremony, I don't know when it will be held." Magic Johnson said.

Larry Bird suddenly said with a worried face: "I don't care when the award ceremony will be held now, I am only worried about whether I can be selected for the 50th Congress." ”

"Haha......"

At this, he himself burst out laughing, as did the magician.

In the players' tunnel, after the two teams met with the starters, Jordan wanted to ask, Iron Fist, did you sleep well? But he still couldn't ask, feeling that he would lose face, because Iron Fist would definitely not tell him.

Next appeared, after Zhou Quan came out, he found that his friends ran up one by one to ask him how he slept, including the boss Ballmer.

This made him helpless, answering a question a hundred times will definitely affect his mood.

At half past eight, the game began.

Jump ball, Bulls attack.

Pippen holds the ball on the left wing three-pointer and observes the situation.

At this point, Luke Longley entered the basket and used his 120-kilogram tonnage to jam Matt Geiger and barely stand under the basket.

Kevin Willis was also asking for the ball with his back to Rodman in the left midfield.

Pippen made a fake pass and shook off Schramf, and the basketball flew to the basket.

"Bang!"

Luke Longley received the ball and leaned on Matt Geiger to play a hook, but it missed under Matt Geiger's interference.

But Luke Longley was lucky enough to grab another offensive rebound, and by this time Rodman had already turned to the basket to grab the rebound, and he immediately passed the ball to Kevin Willis in the left midfield, and Willis hit an open jumper.

"The twin towers work well together." Magic Johnson laughed.

"SuperSonics dropped a backcourt rebound in the opening stanza, and George Carr was cursing." Larry Bird laughs.

"Rebound! Backboard! Take control of the rebound! ”

On the sidelines, George Carr was really jumping on his feet because he lost the first backcourt rebound, which is not a good sign, and he was a little worried.

Supersonic offense.

Whether it is the SuperSonics or the Bulls, all the fans are looking at Zhou Quan who is advancing with the ball, and there is only one question in their hearts, did you sleep well last night?

Unlike the G1 battle, Zhou Quan came to the top of the arc.

G1 has always attacked from the left flank, rarely from the top of the arc, and that is to avoid being pinned by Jordan at the top of the arc.

But that's just a way to avoid being pinched, and now he's at the top of the arc and his teammates are wide on the wings to avoid being pinched.

Changing offensive habits can also disrupt the opponent's defensive tactics that have been developed in advance, which may have a somewhat unexpected effect.

Schramf was on the left flank, pulled close to the touchline, and Jose Hawkins was the same, which made it impossible for Pippen and Jordan to quickly approach the middle, and there was no opportunity to pinch him on the outside.

But it's not impossible, Pippen and Jordan can defend online, cut off the passing line between Zhou Quan and the wings, and if he forcibly passes the ball, he can only drop the ball, so that he can also return to defense in time.

But according to the strategy formulated by Phil Jackson, you have to look at Zhou Quan's state before you can decide whether you need to make an outside package, so Pippen and Jordan did not defend online, or on the line.
