"Alright, the joke was made, haha!"

Kenny Smith retracted the topic, then excitedly said, "See, Charles, this newly opened arena is full, it's a preseason game, do you know why?" Because the King of Iron Fist will be in this fight. ”

"Kenny, I know now, it turns out you're a fan of his. Forgot how you were beaten by him before? Barkley said angrily.

"It was because I was beaten by him that I knew he was powerful." Kenny Smith laughed.

"Well, I don't have anything to say." Barkley said helplessly.

……

The Staples Center, when the stars are shining.

The first game of Zhou Quan's comeback not only attracted countless fans, but also media reporters from all over the world, and also a large number of Hollywood stars came to cheer.

Zhou Quan's group of celebrity friends, as long as they can spare time, all appear here.

Entering Hollywood, Li Lianjie, who came to the United States to shoot Romeo this time, also appeared in the arena.

At this time, the two teams played, because it was a preseason, so there was no starter and substitute, they played together, but the league specially arranged to give Zhou Quan the opportunity to play alone.

The host of the scene sounded with an impassioned voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, after two years, we have finally welcomed back the king of the NBA, and he will lead us out of the predicament." ”

"Oh roar!"

With the voices of the home people, the Staples Center resounded with very enthusiastic cheers and shouts.

"Now, the greatest athlete on the planet, the unification king of professional heavyweight boxing, the famous golf champion, the king of the NBA, and the king of iron fist Zhou Quan!" The host's impassioned voice sounded again.

The lights went out, and with the intense DJ music playing, under the two spotlights, Zhou Quan walked out of the players' tunnel.

"Oh roar!"

There was a loud shout, like a volcano erupting.

In the middle of the court, the three referees were also applauding.

Zhou Quan began to wave to the fans from the time he came out, and there was no chance to put it down, and the fans in Los Angeles were too enthusiastic about him.

"Brother Li."

"Iron Fist."

Zhou Quan and Li Lianjie said hello, and the two knew each other last time.

Looking at Zhou Quan, Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the Lakers bench, was very emotional.

After Zhou Quan announced his retirement, Jerry Claus was going to fire him, but Jordan didn't do it, and he coached the Bulls for another year.

His relationship with Jordan was complicated, when Zhou Quan was there, Jordan no longer trusted him, but Zhou Quan retired, Jordan's trust in him returned, and then he and Jordan won the fourth championship, and then Jordan retired, and he came to the Lakers.

The Bulls played the Finals four times with the SuperSonics, and he only won the first time and then lost three times in a row, which was quite a blow to him.

"OK combination, I believe I won't lose to him again."

Thinking of the current supersonic lineup, and then thinking about the big shark in his hand, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

However, the preseason game was directed by the assistant coach, and he just came over today to take a look, and it was the assistant coach who commanded the game.

Zhou Quan greeted his friends, then the fans, and then walked towards the three referees in the middle of the court, smiling and extending his right hand to them.

When the three referees saw it, they hurriedly took a few steps up and stretched out their hands with a smile on their faces.

"Gentlemen, I hope we can have a good time working together." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Iron Fist King, it's great that you're back!"

"Iron Fist King, it's a pleasure to work with you again."

"Iron Fist King, welcome back."

The three referees told the truth, the salary was reduced again and again, and if it was reduced again, they all had to find a job.

"I hope that what happened to me and Hughes Blake will not affect your cooperation with me." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Absolutely not, you're still the head of the alliance."

"Damn Blake, he messed everything up. Don't worry, Iron Fist, we're not like him. ”

"Iron Fist, he is him, we are us, I believe we will work together happily."

The three referees hurriedly assured.

At this time, Kenny Smith said excitedly in the ESPN commentary box: "Great, we just received the data, our national live ratings have broken 40 million, 40 million, this is just a preseason game." ”

"Forty million?"

Barkley's eyes were falling out.

He remembered the Finals between the Spurs and the Knicks a few months ago, with an average rating of just over three million and a peak rating of just over five million.

"We're going to get back on track."

New York, at Stern's house, the smile on his face overflowed when he heard the data.

Also in New York, NBC President John Green finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the data.

"Forty million?"

Chicago, Jordan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this data.

At this time, he suddenly felt a little unwilling to be lonely, picked up his mobile phone and dialed David Falke.

"Hey, Michael?"

"David, I want to join MLB, you can contact Mr. Rainsdorf."

"You're going to play baseball?" David Falck said in surprise.

"Yes, I've always been a fan of the Red Sox." Jordan said.

David Falke is very helpless, how do you think that one is one play?

If you have good baseball skills and can make a name for yourself, that's fine, but if you can't make a name for yourself, after all, Tekken's crossover achievements are there, and they will be sprayed like dogs.

He persuaded: "Michael, Phil Jackson wants you and him to join forces again with the Lakers, why wouldn't you?" ”

"The Lakers are controlled by Jerry Buss, it is the core industry of the Buss family, and I can never become the big boss of the Lakers, so I will not go to the Lakers." Jordan said.

David Falke thought about it, and even if Jordan was angry, he couldn't help but persuade: "But, Michael, if you join the Red Sox, you will definitely be compared to the crossover achievements of the Iron Fist King?" ”

"This?"

Jordan was indeed a little angry, so angry that he couldn't speak.

He has always been compared with Iron Fist, he and Iron Fist have the same 4 championships, but there is only one two-consecutive championship, no three-consecutive championship dynasty, and Iron Fist completed three consecutive championships on his head, which makes his evaluation of the Iron Fist King a lot lower.

"Michael, don't you want to be an NBA team owner? Well, I know Stern's special assistant, let it go out and tell Stern that you're planning to make a comeback in MLB, and he definitely doesn't want to see that, maybe he'll take the initiative to help you achieve that. David Falck said.

When Jordan heard this, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for?" David, do it now. ”

“OK。”

The donkey was obedient this time, David Falke breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Jordan would go to the MLB and then be ridiculed by the media, and in the end, it might affect the historical evaluation of the already low iron fist king.

……

Los Angeles, the game begins.

Zhou Quan started with Campbell, Rodman, Corry Maggetti, and Brent Barry.

For the Lakers, O'Neal partnered with AC Green, Glen Rice, Kobe, and Ron Harper.

Harper came to the Lakers with Phil Jackson and played point guard.

"Ron, I'll defend him." Kobe Bryant was the first time to play against Zhou Quan as the main team, and he said to Ron Harper very excitedly.

“OK。”

Ron Harper agreed without even thinking about it, such a good thing, it would be foolish not to agree.

Jumping the ball, as O'Neal's substitute, Campbell touched the ball first, and the supersonic offense.

When Zhou Quan received the ball, the Staples Center resounded with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"After two years, the King of Iron Fist is finally back." On the ESPN commentary seat, Kenny Smith said excitedly.

Barkley's emotions are quite complicated, since he left Philadelphia, he has fallen into the curse of Iron Fist, after Iron Fist came to the West, he was crushed by Iron Fist, and he couldn't even rush out of the West, after Iron Fist retired, he didn't seize the last chance, resulting in being empty-handed now.

The media has been saying that he is the background board of the Iron Fist King, which makes him depressed and aggrieved to death.

"Michael is no better than me, with an iron fist on his head to complete a three-game winning dynasty, and he is the biggest backdrop in the NBA league for nearly three decades." He could only comfort himself like this.

On the court, Zhou Quan, who had just crossed the halfway line, ushered in Kobe's defense.

He was excited, after all, he hadn't played in two years.

"Iron Fist, don't try to rush through!"

Kobe Bryant was equally excited, his voice trembling with excitement.

Hearing this, a bright smile appeared on Zhou Quan's face, pointed to the right side, and said to Kobe: "Preview, boy, I'm going to break through from here now." ”

"Preview?"

Bryant was embarrassed.

The next moment, between dribbling, Zhou Quan took a very fast step and started to burst from the left side of Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's official height is 198 cm, which is the height of his shoes, 7 cm taller than Zhou Quan, and his weight is currently about a kilogram lighter than Zhou Quan.

Although there is a preview of Zhou Quan, his turning and defense speed is still not as good as Zhou Quan's breakthrough speed, as soon as he turned around, Zhou Quan has already taken a second step, he has moved one step down, and he has fallen behind.

Zhou Quan hit the top of the arc, stopped and flicked the ball upward, Kobe flew up from behind, flew past him, and then got up for the second time and shot three-pointers.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the ball flying towards the basket.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

"Oh roar!"

The audience burst into cheers.

"Kobe boy, let's let Ron Harper defend me, he's more experienced, you're too good!" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Kobe snorted coldly and said, "Sooner or later, I'm going to guard against you." ”

Turning around, Bryant took the ball out of Ron Harper's hand and began to single Zhou Quan from the right wing three-point line.

"Cast right here, boy, you can't break me if your first step isn't fast enough." Zhou Quan spewed trash talk in a mocking tone.

With the rise of his status in the team and his popularity, Kobe's temper is no longer small, hearing this trash talk, his nose is full of smoke, you say you can't be abrupt, I want to sudge you.

Then, he began to take a tentative step, intending to shake Zhou Quan and break through from the left side.

It's just that his hands are not big, and he can barely grasp the ball with one hand, but he can't make too many movements, and the technical movements of the tentative steps are not as silky as Jordan's, and the breakthrough of the feints is not strong enough.

When Kobe Bryant used a tentative step to fake protrusions from the outside, Zhou Quan's eyes were fast, matching the lightning speed, and his left hand stabbed the ball in Kobe's right hand from in front of Kobe Bryant's body in an instant.

This stabbing is actually not a good opportunity, Zhou Quan's main intention is to use this action to interrupt Kobe's rhythm, so as to grasp the defensive initiative.

Kobe Bryant's right hand instinctively conceded, but this action tested the control of the hand on the ball, and the small hand let go back, and the basketball was suddenly out of his hand.

"Oops!"

dropped the ball, and he was in a hurry.

"Good chance!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan quickly stepped up and grabbed the ball in his hand while squeezing Kobe Bryant with more powerful power.

"Beautiful! Tekken reappeared as a super steal king, cutting off the ball of Lakers rising star Peter Pan Kobe Bryant in his first defense. Kenny Smith said excitedly.

"He's still so strong defensively!"

Barkley also sighed secretly when he saw Zhou Quan's defense.

Because every time he played against the team of the Iron Fist King, his team would be blown up in the No. 1 position, and he would be blown up at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he had experienced too many scenes like this.

Zhou Quan held the ball and attacked quickly, Kobe Bryant tried his best to chase and defend, but his absolute speed was not very fast, and he couldn't catch up with Zhou Quan who held the ball without the ball.

Zhou Quan took off from the left elbow area to close the ball, took a step into the paint area, and held the ball high in his right hand, making a gesture to dunk.

The next moment, Bryant flew up from the right back, and his left hand tried to complete a back cap.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan's right hand shrank downward, flashed Bryant's block, and handed the ball from under the raised left leg to his left hand.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, the ball in his left hand was dunked violently, blasting the Lakers' basket.

"Oh roar!"

The Los Angeles fans in the stadium instantly boiled.

"It's so beautiful! The crotch changed hands and buckled violently, the style of the Iron Fist King is still the same, and after several months of training, his state is back! Kenny Smith said excitedly.

"Kobe, I said that you can't surprise me, you just don't listen, make a mistake, right?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

A paranoid look flashed in Kobe's eyes, and then O'Neal shouted at him: "Kobe, you can't deal with him, let me teach him a lesson." ”

"Humph!"

Bryant ran to the frontcourt.

"Swept by the king?"

Zhou Quan looked at O'Neill with contempt in his eyes.

"Haha......"

Hearing Zhou Quan's name for O'Neill, the media behind the bottom line couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Iron Fist, I'm not done with you."

O'Neill's old face flushed, and he shouted and took a big stride before pounced.

Taking advantage of O'Neal's entanglement with Zhou Quan, the Lakers launched an attack, Glen Les kicked off to Harper, Harper quickly passed Kobe Bryant in front, and the unguarded Kobe Bryant hit the basket with a violent dunk.

After the success, Kobe Bryant excitedly pulled up his jersey and bit it in his mouth, and looked at Zhou Quan triumphantly while running to the backcourt.

"These juniors are very arrogant now!" Zhou Quan said to Rodman with emotion.

"Then teach them a lesson, and let them know who is the king." Picking up the ball and retreating behind the baseline, Rodman grinned.

"Big and small? Hehe, Jordan has retired, and now there is no Xiao Wang for the time being. Zhou Quan took the ball from Rodman and began to move forward unhurriedly.
