Chapter 435: Iron Fist, Don't Bully My Little Brother

Offensive and defensive transitions, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan advanced with the ball, and Fan Maniac just had a crazy energy, going around and around, trying to break his ball.

Fan Maniac's height is 185 cm, 6 cm shorter, and the tonnage is only 77 kg, a difference of eighteen kilograms.

He tried it from the left first, Zhou Quan changed hands in time to dribble, and then accelerated the breakthrough speed and rushed through the middle line, he followed from behind, trying to break the ball from behind, but Zhou Quan switched to his right hand to control the ball, and at this time he had reached the top of the arc.

There was a vacancy, and Fan Maniac was thrown off by him, but Zhou Quan did not stop shooting at the top of the arc, but killed it directly.

Because of the continuous training, the feeling has not been very good since the beginning of the new season, and in order to maintain offensive efficiency as much as possible, he usually shoots close to the basket and then shoots, and does not shoot much.

After taking a step past the free throw line, O'Neal stayed one step in front of the basket and didn't come out, so he immediately stopped and threw it.

"Brush!"

The basketball flew over O'Neal's head and then slid down, O'Neal didn't jump, looking back to see the ball fall into the basket.

Lakers offense.

At the back, Van Exel received the ball on the run, and then used the cover of his teammates to temporarily get rid of Zhou Quan and advance quickly.

His speed is still very fast, a little faster than Zhou Quan, after all, the tonnage is too small, and the athletic quality is far greater than that of Stockton of the same tonnage.

When it came to the middle line, Zhou Quan chased half a step to the left side of Fan Maniac, Fan Maniac was a left-handed general, and found that Zhou Quan was chasing after him, and immediately transferred the ball to his right hand.

Campbell had a mid-range shot and pulled to the left wing in order to make room for O'Neal to make room under the basket.

O'Neal entered the basket, and Lightner didn't carry it hard, and he couldn't carry it, so he went directly around the front defense.

Seeing that O'Neal had no vacancy, Fan Maniac decided to come by himself, and when he hit the top of the right arc, he immediately made a pull-up jump shot and shot a three-point shot.

"Squeak!"

At the next moment when Fan Maniac made an emergency stop, Zhou Quan reacted the fastest, braked with his left foot, and stopped on the left side of Fan Maniac.

When Zhou Quan braked, Fan Maniac began to close the ball and jump, and he immediately jumped to block it, pressing it from the side with his left hand.

"Smack!"

Fan Maniac jumped upwards and raised the basketball above his head, but at this time, a big hand pressed it, just like his first shot, and was pressed back to the ground with the ball again.

"Damn it!"

Hatted again, he was so depressed that he wanted to crash to death on the floor.

This time, the referee's whistle did not sound, because the ball in the hand of Fan Maniac fell and was snatched away by Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan immediately began to fight back.

"Bang!"

Three seconds later, Zhou Quan blasted the Lakers' basket with a tomahawk-style dunk.

"Oooooooooo......oo

After Zhou Quan blocked Fan Maniac for the second time, the Great Western Forum Arena began to jubilant, and it didn't end slowly until after the violent buckle.

The Assassin said happily: "The people of Los Angeles have a true love for Iron Fist, and I suggest that Iron Fist come to Los Angeles to take a dynasty after he wins a dynasty in Seattle to repay the support of the people of Los Angeles for his support." ”

Ranbir said angrily: "Do you think the dynasty is a beef burger that can be found everywhere?" ”

The assassin calmly analyzed: "I feel that the people of Los Angeles are more welcoming to Iron Fist this time, why?" It may be that the attitude of some media towards Iron Fist has stimulated them now. ”

"What are the fans and the media doing against each other?" Ranbier said.

Nodding, the Assassin said, "I've watched the SuperSonics in the last half month, and Tekken has often received a warmer welcome than ever on the road, not just Los Angeles.

Also, Iron Fist's jersey sales this season are very good, I don't mean overseas, but the United States, and his jerseys have surpassed Jordan, which is the first time that his jersey sales have surpassed Jordan in the United States.

And for the first time, his basketball shoes, the Iron Fist VI Generation, which has just been released, have surpassed the sales of the MJ brand.

As for the SuperSonics' national ratings, I don't need to say it, almost double that of the Bulls, which means that almost twice as many people are more willing to tune in to Iron Fist.

I think that's the real attitude of the fans, their attitude is not the same as those of the media, they are supporting the first person in the current service, the greatest crossover.

They recognize the strength of Iron Fist, recognize his professional attitude, and even if Iron Fist's performance this season is not as hot as last season, they still choose to support it. ”

Ranbir nodded, "You're right, Isaiah, I actually want to black that guy with the Black Iron Fist, but I don't have the shamelessness of the media at Richstone." I'm someone who has a bottom line, but they don't, and I think they probably don't even have bottoms. ”

"Poof, haha......"

The Assassin burst out laughing, laughing as he lay on the commentary table.

"Bang!"

On the court, Van Maniac passed the ball to Eddie Jones, who then passed to O'Neal on the left side of the basket, and O'Neal knocked Leitner to the ground with a back arch, and then turned around with a two-handed dunk.

"Oh roar!"

The Great Western Forum Arena resounded with very warm cheers and applause, which was even warmer than the applause that Zhou Quan had just received.

This made O'Neal and other Lakers players breathe a sigh of relief, giving them the feeling of playing at home, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Supersonic offense.

Leitner got into the box and then immediately ran to the left wing, but old rival O'Neal was not in opposition to him defensively, and Babel ran after him.

The two are the same height, but Campbell is now a whopping 125 kilograms, while he is only 107 kilograms, so he is much faster.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan has not yet reached the top of the arc, he controls the ball with his right hand, sees Leitner's running, and between the balls, his left hand pulls the ball up from behind, and then pushes it to the left wing, and the ball flies straight to Leitner like a meteor.

Leitner and Zhou Quan trained together for half a month, and played the regular season for another month, there were many mistakes at the beginning, and now there are fewer and fewer mistakes.

When he ran to the three-point line, the ball arrived, he received the ball and turned around, jumped out of his hand, and Campbell, who was two steps behind, stepped up and blocked it, half a beat slower.

"Brush!"

Basketball hollow into the basket.

"Shaq, you'd better defend yourself against me."

After the victory, Lightner's arrogance from the Duke aristocracy attacked, and in front of Campbell, he shouted at O'Neal under the basket, and Campbell's face suddenly darkened.

It's impossible to say that O'Neal has any affection for Leitner, the guy who crushed him in the NCAA and even robbed him of the opportunity to join the Dream First Team.

Hearing Leitner's words, he didn't respond, but pointed at Zhou Quan and shouted: "Iron Fist, I'm going to teach him a lesson, are you okay?" ”

Seeing that O'Neill ignored himself, like Elden Campbell just now, Leitner's face also darkened a little.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "You all have your own abilities, but as a teammate, I have to help Christine." ”

Lightner's face is a little better, and O'Neal has no opinion, which is right.

Next, O'Neal abused Leitner on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he was a little passive, and Leitner always pulled to the three-point line, making his follow-up a little troublesome.

His running speed on the way is actually not slow, his stride is very large, and his speed after rushing up is no less than that of an ordinary small forward, not slower than Lightner, but the start is slower than Lightner, which makes Lightner seize the opportunity, plus Zhou Quan continues to pass good balls, Lightner and O'Neal The two enemies have played back and forth, and no one can prevent each other.

His running speed on the way is actually not slow, his stride is very large, and his speed after rushing up is no less than that of an ordinary small forward, not slower than Lightner, but the start is slower than Lightner, which makes Lightner seize the opportunity, plus Zhou Quan continues to pass good balls, Lightner and O'Neal The two enemies have played back and forth, and no one can prevent each other.

O'Neal scored nine points on 4-of-5 shooting and 1-of-4 from the free-throw line.

Lightner also scored six points on 3-of-5 shooting.

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, at 34:25, the SuperSonics led by nine points, and the Lakers called a timeout.

On the ESPN commentary bench, the assassin said: "Iron Fist shot 4-of-7 in the first quarter, 2-of-2 free throws, and got 10 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, and 1 foul.

His performance is still the most important reason why the SuperSonics are ahead of their opponents, and even if his performance is not as good as last season, he is still the best in the league, and no one has the right to criticize him. ”

"So now it's all the media that blames him, do you see which player in the league and which head coach come out and blame that Iron Fist guy?

Even the magician, who was used to looking down on him, didn't say anything this time, Jordan didn't say anything, and none of the players who had a holiday with him came forward. ”

The assassin grinned and said, "Not really, because they don't dare, if Iron Fist gave up boxing and threw himself into the NBA, his performance would probably be even more desperate, and they should be glad that there were other projects that distracted some of Iron Fist's energy." ”

"Haha......"

Ranbir laughed, then whispered, "Isaiah, you bastard, don't lie to me if you promise to have a big meal." ”

"Of course."

The assassin grinned and nodded.

He said a lot of good things before, promised a big meal, and asked Ranbir to help cooperate with him in the commentary, and Ranbir did a good job just now.

"These two bastards!"

In Los Angeles, Magic Johnson was watching the game in his villa and was a little angry when he heard the words of the assassin and Ranbir.

The reason why he didn't stand up and criticize Iron Fist was because there was a bottom line, and he wouldn't deliberately hack him because he was unhappy with Iron Fist.

It's true that Tekken's performance this season is not as good as the start of last season, but both the record and the personal data are actually not bad, and he thinks there is nothing to be faulted with.

Far away in Chicago, Jordan was also a little angry when he heard the assassin's last words.

He didn't stand up and take the opportunity to attack Iron Fist because of disdain.

He can't forget how the media treated him after the two consecutive championships in 92, so now he feels a little sympathetic to Iron Fist, where is he not daring?

The Great Western Forum Arena, the timeout is over.

When the players came on the court, a small flat head on the Lakers' bench was eager to try, but unfortunately head coach Del Harris didn't see him and replaced him with backup guards Byron Scott and Fisher, which made him a little depressed.

The small forward was replaced by Rumile Robinson, and the inside line was substitute center Knight and Campbell, who was replaced two minutes earlier.

In terms of the supersonic side, all the main players went off the field and replaced Matt Geiger, Trie Cummings, Sam Perkins, Drexler, and McMillan.

"The supersonic bench lineup, Geiger, Glider, and Perkins actually still have the strength to play the main team, which is a notch stronger than the Lakers' bench lineup." The assassin laughed.

"The SuperSonics' bench lineup should be the best in the league, the squad is very thick and the rotation is sufficient." Ranbier said.

The assassin said curiously: "Actually, George Carr's style is a bit of a dead man, but after Iron Fist went to supersonics, this style doesn't seem to be very obvious. ”

Ranbir scolded: "Isaiah, you are so stupid, Iron Fist is a big core style of playing with the ball, as long as he is on the field, there is no problem at all to drive two substitutes, George Karl is still a capable manager, he will not fail to see this, of course he will strengthen the rotation." ”

"Well, Bill, you're right."

The assassin was scolded for having no temper, because it was.

By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had trailed by 12 points.

However, in the second quarter, Eddie Jones scored 12 points in a single quarter, and O'Neal also scored 10 points in the second quarter, and the two helped the team get back 6 points, and the Lakers only trailed by 6 points at halftime.

Zhou Quan played 8 minutes in the second quarter, blocked Fan Maniac who likes to shoot for the third time, and stole the opponent twice, and also scored 8 points in a single quarter and handed out 3 assists.

After the start of the second half, Zhou Quan switched to Eddie Jones, preventing Jones from missing three consecutive shots, and SuperSonics took the opportunity to launch a wave of 10-0 attacks.

In the 9th minute of the third quarter, Zhou Quan blocked Fan Maniac for the fourth time, and after the third quarter, he was only one rebound and one block left from the first 5*5 of the regular season in his career.

In the second minute of the final quarter, he grabbed his fifth rebound, and then the Great Western Forum Arena began to chant "5*5".

In the fourth minute, the Lakers were already trailing by 18 points and called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked, O'Neal was in the basket, Matt Geiger went around the front defense, Rodman assisted from the side, and Campbell in the right waist position was empty.

Fan Maniac hoisted the ball from Zhou Quan's head, Zhou Quan turned around and pounced, Campbell caught the ball and jumped, and Zhou Quan jumped up from two meters away.

"Smack!"

Under a volleyball-style hat, Campbell's basketball was slapped directly into the audience behind the baseline, triggering a scramble.

"Oh roar!"

Countless Angelenos cheered.

"This guy!"

Speaking from the heart, Jordan is still a little jealous, because he has never played 5*5 data, but Iron Fist has played 5*5 three times, and two times in the playoffs, Iron Fist's three 5*5 has a higher gold content than Big Dream's 6 5*5.

In this game, in the end, SuperSonics won, with a score of 105:91 and a 14-point win.

Zhou Quan played 42 minutes, the first time this season to play more than 40 minutes, and broke up Fan Maniac at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, with 40 points, 5 rebounds, 16 assists, 7 steals, 5 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a shooting rate of 62.5%.

"Hey, rookie, why didn't you give me the opportunity to welcome you to the NBA?"

At the end of the game, Zhou Quan passed by the Lakers bench and said to Kobe Bryant with a grin.

Kobe Bryant made a small face and stiffened his neck and said: "You don't need to welcome me, I've come to the NBA." ”

"Hey, Iron Fist, don't bully my little brother." O'Neill said with a tiger face.

"I hope this little brother is not your little brother in magic. Well, sharks, see you next time in Seattle. Rookie, come on! ”

Zhou Quan laughed, reached out and touched his fist with O'Neal, patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder, and after leaving a word of encouragement, he went to accept the live interview with ESPN reporters.

O'Neal said proudly to Kobe: "Rookie, Iron Fist has a very good relationship with me, if he bullies you, you tell me." ”

"No, if there is a problem, I will solve it myself. Moreover, he didn't bully me either. Kobe Bryant shook his head.

O'Neill was stunned, this little rookie has a bit of a personality!

"Iron Fist, playing a super performance tonight, is it in response to the accusations made by the media against you during this time?" ESPN's correspondent asked.

Zhou Quan shook his head and smiled: "I won't go out of my way to respond to those conspiracy accusations, what I advocate is to be above board, villains, and it's not worth wasting my energy and time to refute them." ”

Supersonic returned to the locker room, and Zhou Quan took a look at the system while taking a shower.

He originally wanted to see the results of his shooting training in the last few days so that he could have a good idea of his shooting skills, but when he opened it, he found that his physical fitness had actually improved from level 96 to level 97.

Of course, this is great news, the offensive and defensive organization is grasped, his physical consumption is very large, and the better the fitness, the higher the quality of his game.

"Is this the effect of sleeping Dangong, or is it the effect of training?" He didn't understand, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

The SuperSonics then returned home to make it two wins in a row, and after losing to the Hornets, they have won six in a row, 16-5, surpassing the Jazz and moving to second place in the West.

Since Stockton's injury, the Jazz have played four games, 2-2, and are now 16-5, but lost to the SuperSonics, so they can only finish in third place.

In addition, Mosaic's record is also declining, because Barkley is out of action due to injury, and since No. 2, he has not returned, and it has been almost a week.
