Hanks Doerrey suddenly asked, "Grant, the Iron Fist King knocked out Holyfield in three rounds, is it possible for him to replace the old fox and become one of the four kings?" ”

Grant Maywes was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The four kings of heavyweight boxing, Michael Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bows, are not young, they were all born in the sixties.

Tyson is 66, Rydick Bow is 67, Lewis is 65, Holyfield is the oldest, in October '62, he will be 34 next month, and Iron Fist was born in 72, and they are not people of the same era.

Hanks, I don't think the Iron Fist King needs to replace Holyfield as the Big Four, he should be the king of heavyweight boxing in the new era. ”

Hanks Dorray nodded and said with regret: "Among the four heavenly kings, neither Tyson nor Lewis have fought against the other three.

Among them, Rick Debau once rejected Lewis's challenge and forfeited a forced title defense, and he even threw the WBC gold in the trash at a press conference.

Holyfield has only played against Riddick Bow, one win and two losses. And Riddick Bauer, with the exception of Holyfield, did not fight the other two.

In other words, between the four kings, there are only three boxing matches between Holyfield and Riddick Bow, which is a pity in the heavyweight boxing world, and there are too few fights between top boxing champions. ”

Grant Maywes nodded: "I don't want to lose, I am very jealous of each other, it is indeed a pity, but they have not retired yet, and there is still a chance." ”

"Click, click, click......"

At this time, Zhou Quan in the ring brought his own gold belt and was photographed by media reporters with Zeng Li, and the entire ring was illuminated by flashlights.

"Iron Fist King, you didn't get a heavy blow tonight, do you intend to defend your title for the second time in the shortest possible time?" After taking the photo, a reporter asked loudly.

Zhou Quan replied with a smile: "There is no such plan. I didn't have a good break this offseason, so I'm not going to defend my title in the short term. ”

Philip and Arum arrange a big celebration party, and a large number of the world's most famous promoters are surrounded by Zhou Quan, with the sole purpose of becoming Zhou Quan's promoter.

Zhou Quan and Arum did not sign a long-term contract, and a fight is counted as a game, so the promotion right of his next boxing match has become a sweet tooth.

Tyson, Lewis, and Riddick Bower are also by Zhou Quan's side, and now that Zhou Quan has successfully defended his title, all three of them want to fight Zhou Quan.

Of the three, only Riddick Bower currently has a WBO belt, and Tyson is about to compete for the WBA belt.

Zhou Quan understands what these people mean, and if he fights him, he can get the WBC gold belt if he wins, gain fame and fortune, and make a lot of money if he loses.

He wanted to fight the other three heavenly kings, but the time was too tight.

At this time, Philip came over, sat down and said, "Zhou, Mr. Luduis just said that Holyfield wants to fight a rematch. ”

Zhou Quan shook his head and said: "The new season is very important, and it is a major event related to whether or not the dynasty can be defended, and this offseason ends here." As for next year, I mean, the trio of them will be a priority. ”

"It's the right choice."

"That's right, Iron Fist, Holyfield is a failed challenge, he is not qualified to fight you in a rematch, don't fight him, fight me first."

"Iron Fist, the first me and fight, No. 7 I will definitely snatch the WBA title, and then next year we will have a boxing championship, and whoever wins will be the double champion."

"Riddick Bow, you turned down my challenge and threw the belt in the trash, do you have the courage to fight me now?"

"Yes, Ricdik Bow, don't you look down on the WBC title, why do you want to fight Iron Fist so much, it's for money, right?"

"Hey, you two guys, I have the title now, do you have one? You two guys don't want to rob me of my chance. ”

The three of Tyson nodded very happily and began to talk nonsense, and when they said that, the three of them suddenly became infighting, and Riddick Bau was targeted by Tyson and Lewis.

Zhou Quan sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, anyway, there was still a year to go, and he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

And he's going to have to talk to the WBC about when the next title defense is due.

The next day, the news of the title defense made headlines in countless media outlets around the world, and the Iron Fist King's name shone brighter.

In the following time, Zhou Quan entered a real rest, and practiced sleeping Dangong diligently with Zeng Li every night.

Of course, Yin and Yang and Hegong are also practiced a lot, and Zeng Li is determined to cultivate Yuanying.

On the night of the 7th, Tyson defeated his opponent and snatched the opponent's WBA belt, and after a few years, he re-became the world boxing champion.

Tyson's appearance fee is as high as 30 million US dollars, but the PPV income of this World Boxing Championship Challenge is much less than Zhou Quan's title defense, which only sold 2.17 million, almost half.

But in fact, it is not that Tyson's popularity has dropped much, his highest PPV sales are 3 million, which proves that his popularity is still there.

Arum, a well-known promoter in the professional boxing world, said: "There are many reasons why the PPV of Tekken is so high and the reason why it is so popular.

First, it can actually be seen that although Michael Tyson's strength is still very strong, it is not as good as his peak, and Tekken's style of play is similar to Tyson, which is also very ornamental, which is the most important thing, with his strength, there is every chance to replace Tyson.

Second, the exposure of the Iron Fist King is much higher than that of Tyson, which provides him with a huge popularity base, as well as a fan base.

Thirdly, Tekken is the greatest crossover on the planet, and he can attract different people to watch his boxing fights. I think there will be more fans and NBA fans with him.

Fourth, Tekken is a hundred times more handsome than Michael. ”

After watching Tyson's boxing match, Zhou Quan and Zeng Ni did not go back to Seattle, but went to Los Angeles, and then took a super cruise ship to South America.

Last month, Mr. Ballmer revealed to him that a 51,000-acre, 206-square-kilometre piece of land in Brazil was listed for $166 million, or $3,200 per acre.

There are many more specific conditions of the land, such as a natural freshwater lake of 15 square kilometers, three rivers, a forest area of 38 square kilometers, an arable area of 136 square kilometers, a town with a population of more than 3,200 people, a coastline of 19 kilometers, and so on.

The situation is not bad, now he has so much cash on hand, this time to defend the title to make a lot of money, either buy this land, and then invest a sum of money to open a farm, make a long-term investment, or use the cash on hand for other investments, such as the rapid development of the financial securities industry in the United States, he has not yet decided.

However, he had already sent Philip over to investigate, accompanied by several people from a professional investigation company, and it was not too late to make a decision after the investigation was clear.

His idea is still inclined to buy a farm, and now he has a lot of stock investments on hand, and he can't all smash them all on it, he needs to make some safer investments, and the farm is suitable.

While Zhou Quan was traveling to South America, the NBA league deal continued.

After Mosaic, Dawson broke down trade talks about Big Dreams, he reached out to Tim Hardaway, who was entering the free market, and brought the star point guard in.

Hardaway averaged 15 points, 8 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season, but he had a bad time with the Warriors, and the decline in statistics was caused by the decline in status, not the decline in strength, he is still an All-Star level point guard, three All-Star benches, one best second team and one third team.

After the glider left, $9 million was freed up, and Dawson gave Hardaway a five-year, $30 million contract, but only $2.5 million next season and up to $12 million in the final season, and Mosaic still has a lot of room to reinforce.

With the introduction of Tim Hardaway and Barkley by his side, Big Dream saw hope, his heart settled down, and he no longer made trouble with management.

After completing the signing, the Houston media was immediately full of confidence in the new season of Mosaic, and other mainstream media also believed that the new season of Mosaic is stronger than last season's Big Three, and it is still a championship-level team, and it has the strength to challenge the supersonics.

On September 6, the SuperSonics made a signing and brought in a Dream Team member from the free market, '92 scout Kristen Leitner.

Leitner is 211 cm tall, can play the fourth or fifth position, has a good offense under the basket, is good at mid-range shooting, is known as a high battery, has no three-point shooting at present, and averaged 32.6 minutes per game last season, 16.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

The Timberwolves have All-Star interior Tom Gugliotta and a '95 first-round pick Kevin Garnett, who has no salary space to renew Leitner, so they chose to let him go.

With more than 5 million space left for the SuperSonics, Whithitter offered Leitner a four-year, $20 million long-term contract, with a salary of $2 million next season, $8 million in the final year, and $5 million in each of the middle two years, with a player option in the final year.

After bringing in Leitner, Whitcht left two of last season's fringe men, inside Steve Scheffler, who re-signed a one-year contract with a base salary of $280,000 and guard swingman David Weingate at $500,000.

Then he signed Terry Cummings, the 82-year-old star of the list, with a base salary, Cummings is 35 years old, can play the fourth or fifth position, two-time All-Star bench, was elected as the best rookie in his rookie season, once the best two and one three, but did not get the championship, came to the supersonic for the championship, although he is old, but there is still a little oil.

He also signed back former center Sam Perkins from the free market, using the $2.2 million mid-range regulation to continue to strengthen the ability to pull away from the interior and prepare for the Bulls.

On this day, Whithitt informed Zhou Quan, who was still in South America, of the twelve-man squad for the new season.

Centre-forwards: Leitner, Matt Geiger, Steve Scheffler

Forwards: Rodman, Schramf, Sam Perkins, Terry Cavemings

Defenders: Zhou Quan, Hawkins, Drexler, McMillan, David Weingate

Zhou Quan took a look, the starting lineup and the substitute lineup are not bad, especially the substitute lineup is better than the previous three seasons.

Drexler and Hawkins rotated, the bench lineup's scoring ability is better than the previous Estyau, McMillan can also play, the defense is still online, and there are Sam Perkins and Matt Geiger on the inside, the strength of the bench lineup is enhanced, and the pressure on the main lineup is less.

On the inside, Leitner is good at mid-range shooting, 60% of his offense is mid-range shots, 40% of his offense is long-range two-point shooting, and the bench Sam Perkins can shoot three-pointers, all of which are aimed at the Bulls' lineup, which can pull Mutombo out of the restricted area, so that the outside can burst into play.

And Leitner's basket and low-post offense are not bad, 40% of the offense is in the paint area, 30% of the offense is under the basket, and the basket has a 67% shooting rate.

Of course, if he faces Mutombo, he will probably not be able to play such a basket offense, which is a point to be aware of.

It is said that the style of play is a bit soft, and it can kill all sides in the NCAA, and even suppressed the limelight of O'Neal and Mourning, so he was selected for the Dream Team, but after entering the league, the performance was not as brilliant as in the NCAA period.

Some media even said that he was selected for the Dream Team because he was white and was the hope of white American basketball.

Zhou Quan and Leitner played in the NCAA period, not too familiar, but a little impression, and then because Wright was included in the dream team, the impression deepened.

As far as he knows, during the Duke period, Leitner was not very good-looking, known for his foul mouth and bullying, often giving insulting nicknames to his teammates, even spitting in the faces of his teammates, and when he was not satisfied, he often encouraged his teammates by beating and insulting them, and was quite cruel to his own methods.

In the words of Coach K Sr., Leitner is the kind of guy who will do anything to win, and if he can't control himself in the locker room, he'll burn the whole team along with himself.

As Leitner's teammate at Duke, Grant Hill said of Leitner: "I guess he's just a villain, and there's no better adjective for him." ”

Regarding Grant Hill's words, Lightner also admitted positively: "Yes, I guess I'm a villain, so what? ”

In short, in Zhou Quan's view, Leitner is almost a copy of Ranbir, the image of Brother Gongzi, the dirty and rebellious and wild style of the ball, the unscrupulous style, the surface is polite, but in fact he never looks at you squarely, and when he steps on you, he still looks down on you from above.

Of course, this is also in line with the usual image of Duke University, they are bullies, they are in groups, they are arrogant and rude, they are all rich second generation.

However, as far as he knows, Lightner is different from Ranbir, he is not a rich second generation, but a poor background, and the entire Duke basketball team, that is, Grant Hill, is a son.

Regarding Leitner's soft style of play, he thinks that the rumors from the outside world are not true, this is actually a rather dirty, black elbow and other small movements, but the fighting spirit is tenacious.
