"Iron Fist, I'm going to give you a gift on behalf of the city government." Mayor Anderson smiled.

"Really? Thank you so much! Zhou Quan was stunned and hurriedly said.

Anderson handed over a box in his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, I think you'll like it, it represents Seattle's attitude towards you." ”

"Thank you!"

After Zhou Quan took it, he began to unpack the box, and Zeng Lifu came over to help.

The NBA's live camera followed him all the time, also aimed at the box.

Zhou Quan opened the box and saw that it was a certificate-like thing, he opened it and couldn't help laughing.

"Husband, is this an honorary citizenship certificate?" Zeng Lixi said happily.

At this time, Mayor Anderson took the microphone handed over by the host and said to the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the City of Seattle and on behalf of the millions of citizens of the Seattle metro area, I now declare the Iron Fist King as an honorary citizen of our City of Seattle. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The scene suddenly burst into a sea of applause, and countless people gave a standing ovation.

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

Zhou Quan pointed the certificate at the media reporters, and the reporters pressed the shutter of their cameras one after another.

"It turned out to be an honorary citizen, which is an endorsement and the official response of the City of Seattle to this incident." Robertson said happily.

"Seattle is an emerging city, and like Los Angeles, it's a blue asis, and it's more culturally inclusive." Elgin Baylor said.

"With the support of the Iron Fist, Mayor Anderson is much more likely to run for the next governor." Robertson laughed.

"Haha......" Elgin Belle laughed.

Robertson added: "Look, there are two black referees in the three referees today, and the referee is also black, so it seems that the league doesn't want to make any mistakes." ”

"Tonight was definitely a very fair game, no one dared to make a fuss. Whoever dares to make trouble is to destroy the alliance, which is the real public enemy of the alliance. Elgin Baylor said in the affirmative.

At 8:28, the players were ready to play.

Zhou Quan stood in the middle, raised his right hand, and after everyone's hands came up, he shouted loudly: "Guys, what do we want?" ”

"Dynasty!"

Rodman was the first to chim, and the others shouted as well.

"Let's be louder." Zhou Quan shouted.

"Dynasty!" The crowd shouted.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty ......"

Tens of thousands of people roared wantonly, and the entire Seattle Center Gymnasium resounded with deafening shouts.

"Dynasty! Dynasty ......"

The sound spread throughout the city, then the metropolitan area, and millions of people in front of the television set shouted along.

At half past eight, the game officially began.

Leitner and Mutombo jump balls, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan took the ball and waited for his teammates to cross the halfway line before moving forward.

"I haven't played a game for a few days, I don't know how Zhou Quan is doing today?" Zhang Li said with some concern.

At this time, Zhou Quan was close to the top of the arc, Jordan came up to force the grab, he immediately came to a brutal sideways play, forced Jordan to knock back half a step, and then stepped back to shoot.

The moment he made a move, his spirit was condensed to the extreme, and in this state, his body and spirit even reached a two-in-one realm.

"Brush!"

The basketball arcs through the air in a perfect arc and then sinks headlong into the hoop.

"Oh roar!"

There was a huge cheer in the central gymnasium.

"The opening three-pointer, beautiful!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

Referee Janlix hit a three-pointer, the Bulls' offensive gesture, and then ran to the Bulls' frontcourt.

Jordan caught the ball after blocking Zhou Quan on the right wing, Zhou Quan immediately chased after him, he shook another shot, shook Zhou Quan again, and then held the ball to the paint area.

Under the basket, Leitner stared viciously at Jordan who came in from the right elbow area, and when he flew to the basket, he grabbed a step and smashed his arm down, smashing Jordan to the floor with the ball.

"Oh, Oakley's fight-style defense, this move is so fierce!" Robertson was surprised.

"Towards people, after Leitner reached supersound, there were few such actions." Elgin Baylor said.

"Falk oil!"

Jordan vomited blood in anger and got up to glare at Lightner.

Leitner showed no weakness, staring at Jordan like a cockfighter, and scolded in his mouth: "What do you want? You guy who crawled out of the slums! ”

"Miscellaneous, if you had to pick one of the most annoying guys from the Alliance, it would be you." Jordan's eyes lit up.

"I'm happy then." Lightner said angrily.

"No one else is allowed to interfere and let them figure it out on their own." Zhou Quan saw that Pippen wanted to go up to help, and shouted.

Pippen's neck shrunk and flashed to the side.

"Didi!"

The three referees rushed forward with their whistles blowing, separating the two.

"See how the penalty is, is it a defensive foul, or a malicious foul?" Zhang said reasonably.

In the next second, the referee pointed at Leitner and gave a first-degree malicious foul, two free throws and one throw.

"I'm just a normal foul, do you understand a normal foul? Damn, is he a bitch, and he will fall down when he touches it? Leitner glared at the referee and walked to the sideline of the penalty area with a curse.

He even turned around and shouted at Jordan, "Hey, Michael Jordan, are you a?" ”

"Bastard!"

Jordan was so angry that he was about to rush forward.

"No fighting."

Zhou Quan shouted loudly and stepped up to block Jordan's front.

"You?"

Jordan glared at Zhou Quan fiercely.

"Tick!"

Without hesitation, the referee blew the whistle again and gave Leitner a technical foul.

"Oh, Lettner is eating T again." Elgin Baylor exclaimed.

"This guy is too hot-tempered today, isn't he?" Robertson Road.

"Three free throws and one throw." Elgin Baylor said.

Next, Jordan made free throws, the first one was missed, and the next two were missed.

2:3, the Bulls attack.

Jordan and Kukoc block on the right wing, one inside and one outside.

Just after the two were separated, Pippen on the left wing saw an opportunity for Kukoc, who had cut outside, because Rodman was a slow step after getting around Jordan and Iron Fist didn't change the guard, so he passed the ball to Tony Kukoc very decisively.

But just as he was passing the ball, even at the moment when the ball had not yet been shot, Zhou Quan, who was chasing Jordan, suddenly stopped and turned around, grabbed it in one step, and then stretched out his left arm, with a big hand, snapped, broke the ball, and then launched a fast attack.

"Oh roar, it's broken, Iron Fist broke Pippen's pass!" Henem Chrisman, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.

His partner McGim excitedly shouted: "Jordan cut inside and didn't keep up with the iron fist, the iron fist passed Kukoc, Harper returned from the middle, crossed the halfway line, and overtook Harper......"

Zhou Quan hit the left elbow area, at this time Harper was already two meters behind, just to the top of the arc, he took off after a step into the penalty area, raised the ball high with his right hand, rotated 360 degrees in the air, and then received a big loop split.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

As the violent sound of the basket exploded, the cheers of the central gymnasium also broke out.

"It's wonderful! This action can go to the slam dunk contest. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang Li said excitedly: "Zhou Quan's vision is really good! Before breaking the ball, he didn't deliberately observe Pippen, the ball carrier on the strong side, but he saw Pippen's passing movements clearly, otherwise the steal would not have been so timely. ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "It is precisely because of his good vision that when Zhou Quan is playing on the court, he rarely needs to keep observing left and right like other point guards, he generally only looks ahead, so that his attention is more focused and will not be distracted." ”

At this time, the Bulls' ball advanced to the frontcourt, Jordan on the right wing suddenly ran back after entering the three-point shot, seeing Jordan's running move, the Iron Fist King was one step behind, Harper at the top of the arc passed the ball, and Hawkins did not make a timely interception.

Jordan received the ball when he quickly ran to the three-point line, and then jumped directly sideways and shot.

He didn't dare to jump back after facing the basket, because the iron fist was behind him, and he had to finish it with the fastest pace possible.

In the past, when he shot the basket, it was a frontal basket, but in the past two seasons, he has changed his shooting habits to shoot sideways to the basket, which allows him to reach the fastest rhythm when receiving and shooting, and does not need to make any adjustments, so that the defender has no chance to block him.

He made this adjustment because of Iron Fist.

Iron Fist's steal and blocking ability is too terrifying, his hands are too fast and accurate, and if he doesn't make changes, the chances of being tackled and blocked will be high.

"Slow!"

Zhou Quan grabbed half a step up, jumped with all his might, and did not prevent Jordan's backward jumper.

"Brush!"

"Oh roar!"

As the water splashed inside the basket, the 2,000 visitors roared excitedly.

"Michael Jordan's shot was so fast! Zhou Quan was already chasing very closely, but he was still a little slower. Zhang said with regret.

"Two points away, stepping on the line. It's 4:5 now, supersonic offense. Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Mutombo stopped Leitner's fast serve, and the ball was passed to Hawkins, who went down to the baseline, and Zhou Quan, who ran to the halfway line, suddenly changed direction and pulled sideways, temporarily shaking off Jordan, and Hawkins immediately passed the ball.

"Smack!"

But at this moment, Ron Harper, who was in front, made an accurate prediction, started early, and cut off the ball that Hawkins had just passed.

"Ouch, the ball is broken at the backline." Zhang Li exclaimed.

Hawkins made a mistake and immediately counter-attacked, not allowing Ron Harper to find a shot, giving time for his teammates to defend back.

The scene was a little chaotic for a while, and while Zhou Quan followed Jordan, the full-level panoramic vision took in the movements of the half court one by one.

He saw Pippen on the left wing have a chance, Schramf's return was slow, Pippen was cutting from the left elbow to the basket, and Pippen was still the playmaker of the team, and with Jordan on his own, Harper had a high chance of passing the ball to Pippen.

At this time, Jordan moved to the right elbow area, and he was on his left front side, guarding the position between Jordan and the basket, and did not directly cut off the passing angle between Jordan and Harper in the right blocking area.

The reason for this defensive position is that if he stands on Jordan's right front and cuts off the passing angle, he will lose his vision of Harper, the ball carrier.

Now in this position, if Harper passes the ball to Jordan, he can also defend and steal in time, and at the same time, he can also cut Jordan's inside angle.

Sure enough, Harper suddenly took a step upwards and dodged Hawkins in front of him and passed the ball from the right wing to Pippen, the pass route was behind him, a step away from his back.

This is a straight scalpel pass, Zhou Quan is the only defender on the passing route, as long as he passes through Zhou Quan's back, he can go straight to Pippen, who is cut inside, so Harper's pass is very abrupt and does not give Zhou Quan a chance to break the ball.

But at the moment when Harper passed the ball, Zhou Quan quickly moved sideways and sideways, his left hand moved forward, and under the precise blow, he snapped and broke the ball.

"Beautiful! Harper steals Hawkins, and now Zhou Quan in turn steals Harper. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

"Jordan blocked Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan suddenly crashed into Jordan, and he started to go down!" Xu Jicheng then shouted excitedly.

Jordan chased after Zhou Quan's left side, his right hand made small movements, and the referee who ran two steps away turned a blind eye, and Zhou Quan's fast speed was affected.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan bent his left arm and hit Jordan's left rib, Jordan fell behind in pain, and Zhou Quan accelerated to overtake.

The position of the referee was behind the two, and when they saw Zhou Quan's small movements, they didn't blow it.

Today he made up his mind, his job is important, you can make small movements at will, I have to blow if the action is too big, and I will blow when I see blood.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan hit the basket with a one-handed dunk that blew up the Bulls' basket.

"4:7, SuperSonics lead by 3 points." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"It seems that Zhou Quan is in very good shape today and is very excited to play." Zhang Li said with a smile.

The game continued, and after 5 minutes of the first quarter, at 8:14, the SuperSonics led by 6 points, and the Bulls' possession called a timeout.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Zhou Quan shot 3 in the front, 2 in the back 4 shots, a total of 7 shots and 5 shots, no free throws, got 11 points, 2 steals, and no assists.

The next four offenses are all positional battles, he is a stop-and-go jump shot, and he doesn't get in, which is his usual tactic to play the Bulls this season, don't rush in to find a hat, Mutombo's ability to protect the basket is really strong, and he has scruples. ”

Xu Jicheng continued: "Jordan is 2 shots and 2 hits, and he feels good, he scored 4 points, and he doesn't shoot as much as Zhou Quan." ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "Judging from the defense of the Bulls today, it is still the strategy of the G1 battle, staring at others in the positional battle, let Zhou Quan play alone, Jordan is on the outside single defense, and the breakthrough is sandwiched by Mutombo and Jordan together."

Then when the offense and defense are switched, it is also a fast pass that restricts the supersonic speed to slow down the opponent. However, supersonic did not force a fast attack like the G1 battle, and once the fast pass failed, it would fight a positional battle. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "There are also advantages to forcing a fast attack, which can force the Bulls to replace Kukoc, which is what he did in the G1 battle." However, there are also disadvantages, Zhou Quan's physical consumption is too large. ”

"yes, I guess that's in mind."

Zhang Li nodded and said: "The current situation, on the Bulls' side, Jordan is okay, but there are relatively few shots, and Zhou Quan is very tight."

Others, Pippen made 1 of 3 shots, and he was in average form today. Kukoc made 1 of 1 shot.

The supersonic side can't see anything yet, because the Bulls forced Zhou Quan to play alone, and the others didn't have much chance, that is, Rodman scored a goal with a rebound, and Hawkins made 1 of 2 free throws. ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Director Zhang, I found that no, except for a technical foul and a foul by Leitner, the referee didn't blow the whistle much today, and neither side had any free throw opportunities." ”

"I don't know if it's the reason, haha" Zhang Li laughed.
