After a short rest, he should digest his food, and at seven o'clock, he left the office slowly.

The office was on the third floor, and when I went down to the ground floor, I happened to run into the Mosaics in the hallway, and Barkley and Kenny Smith, who had just met, were also together.

"What a coincidence. Hey gentlemen, good evening. He greeted with a smile.

"Hey, Iron Fist, good evening."

"Hello, Iron Fist King."

The players of Mosaic hurriedly responded.

"Humph!"

Big Dream only snorted.

He didn't have any affection for Mr. Zhou, and when the NBA organization went to China a few months ago, Stern asked him to contact him, but he refused.

Zhou Quan glanced at Barkley, but said to Olaju: "Big dream, Barkley has retired and has no championship for life, you choose to stay in Mosaic, do you want to be like him without a crown for life?" ”

"Thorn!"

Feeling a knife stabbed directly into the heart, there was a noticeable tingling sensation in the heart, Barkley's eyes turned red at once, and his breath was suffocated.

Da Meng's face was also flushed, and he said angrily: "What's the matter with you? ”

"I'm for your good, look at your attitude, you deserve to be crownless for life. I take back what I said before, and now you kneel down, and my thighs will not be hugged by you. Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Who's going to hug your thighs?" His face was so red that he was dripping blood, and he scolded angrily.

"Haha......"

Zhou Quan laughed, but Da Meng and Barkley were so angry that they were gasping like two old dogs.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like this in front of Kick Fist King Olajuwon and Barkley?"

Seeing that the boss Dream and Barkley were bullied and humiliated by the Iron Fist King in person, but they didn't dare to fight back, Steve Francis, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded.

These are two old rascals, more than ten years of the Megatron Alliance, fifty superstars, who beats whom, in front of the Iron Fist King?

He immediately thought of the fact that before the draft, the owners of all NBA teams, dozens of superstars, Stern and a large number of executives, hundreds of people went to China to ask the Iron Fist King to come back, and felt that the reaction of Big Dream and Barkley after being bullied was also right.

Going against someone like Iron Fist and being bullied, is there anyone else who can help him get ahead? I'm afraid that the boss of Mosaic will also force Big Dream to apologize to the Iron Fist King, right?

He is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he should have been the grizzly bear's show, but he didn't want to go to the icy grizzly bear, so he just didn't report to duty, and forced the grizzly bear to sell his signing rights to Mosaic at a cabbage price, which also opened a precedent in the league.

But now, he is extremely envious of the Iron Fist King, if one day he can be as majestic as the Iron Fist King, kick big dreams, and punch flying pigs, this life will be worth it.

"Fliggy, it's still too late to make a comeback, come and help me, I'll take you to the championship." Zhou Quan dropped a sentence with a smile, turned around and left.

Barkley was gasping for breath, but the words made his heart jump abruptly.

Da Meng was too familiar with Barkley, and when he saw Barkley's appearance, he knew that he was moved, so he said angrily:

"Charles, do you listen to him? He's just making fun of you and making fun of you. Now the superSonics broke the lineup, just like we did then, all of them are base-salary players, don't look at the current number one in the league, he is supporting alone, and when it comes to the playoffs, they all play the real thing, and the SuperSonics are likely to not be able to pass the second round.

Didn't he himself say it on the media day of the SuperSonics, the goal of the SuperSonics this season is either to win the championship or to reach the second round, he knows it himself. ”

"I know, what are you talking about? I'm doing a good job as a commentator, and the ghost is coming back? Barkley said angrily.

"Am I not worried about you? If you really listen to his comeback, shamelessly hug his thighs, and then you haven't won the championship yet, and you have lost your job as a commentator, and you can't be laughed to death? Big Dream said.

"Who's shameless? Take a walk. Annoyed, Barkley urged.

……

At eight o'clock, ESPN's national live broadcast began.

Barkley said: "In terms of lineup, the two teams are about the same strength, so it's unpredictable to win this game, Kenny, what do you think? ”

Kenny Smith wants to cover his face, Charles, the lineup is about the same, what do you think? The strength of the Iron Fist King alone is worth half of the mosaic team, otherwise the Iron Fist King dragged a bunch of low-salary rookies, how could he have the first record in the league?

"Are you talking?" Barkley urged.

"Charles, you, have you forgotten, Mosaic's current record is 1-9, the bottom of the league, and the SuperSonics are 9-1, the league's first." Kenny Smith snorted.

“……”

Barkley's mouth opened wide and couldn't close, damn it, how did I forget this?

"This idiot, he's been targeting Tekken."

"Barkley has been suppressed by the Iron Fist King, and he is still targeting the Iron Fist King until now, and he deserves to be without a championship for life."

"Flying Pig is also a fifty superstar, and there is no objectivity when commenting, how do you do the commentator?"

"The first in the league is the last in the league, Barkley actually thinks that the two teams have similar lineups, does he have any professionalism?"

"ESPN is such an idiot that he actually asked Barkley to be a commentator."

In front of the TV, countless fans were unhappy with Barkley, and many people called ESPN's complaint number to complain about Barkley.

"Charles, now that the entire NBA is pointing to the Iron Fist King, you will target the Iron Fist King in the commentary, and then be ready to go."

"Me?"

Soon, Barkley received an angry rebuke from ESPN headquarters, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

At half past eight, the game began.

There is still a big dream that will turn 40 years old in more than a month, and his running and jumping ability is no longer good, and he lost to the 31-year-old Campbell in the jump ball.

Zhou Quan attacked with the ball against rookie Steve Francis.

"Rookie, do you want a preview?" He quipped.

“What？”

Francis was stunned, and he suddenly remembered the media reports about the teaser of Tekken.

"The teaser begins."

Zhou Quan had a smile on his face, controlled the ball with his right hand, and pointed to the right side with his left hand, to the left side of Francis, and said: "There is no feint, I will rush through there and then shoot at the top of the arc." ”

“……”

Franceron's mouth is wide open, is this the teaser of Tekken?

"Bang!"

Between dribbling, Zhou Quan's left foot took a step to the right, which was extremely large and fast, and at the same time blocked Francis with his left hand.

Francis is the same height as Zhou Quan, but he weighs only 88 kilograms, nearly 10 kilograms lighter, and the confrontation is not in the same grade, and his physique looks two laps smaller than Zhou Quan.

But his physical fitness is very explosive, although his defensive skills are average, his defensive attitude is very positive, and because he got the forecast, he reacted a little faster, kept up with Zhou Quan's breakthrough rhythm, and completed the turn and defense in time.

But he was blocked out by Zhou Quan's left arm, unable to fight closely, so he could only move downward and continue to pursue.

Zhou Quan carried Francis to the top of the arc, suddenly stopped to close the ball, and then received a backward jumper.

Francis was blocked out of the half-step and immediately grabbed the half-step jump block, but even if the bounce was amazing, where was the step-back jumper for Zhou Quan?

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

"Oh roar!"

The gymnasium of the new center resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

With his comeback, the 22,000-capacity stadium began to fill up instead of the previous two seasons when attendance was insufficient.

As the ball went in, he shook his hand and felt that his form was almost back to the top level, and he was happy that it only took such a short time to get back into form.

Of course, there should still be some distance from the real peak, but it is enough for now, and by the time of the All-Star, it should be possible to reach the peak of the game.

He smiled and said to Francis, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA." By the way, what's your name? What order? ”

"Steve, Steve Francis, No. 2 pick in the first round." Steve Francis said with some frustration.

As far as he knows, in the 96 draft before the Iron Fist King retired, the relationship between the rookies and the Iron Fist King at that time was very good, and the media also took a photo of the Iron Fist King and Iverson eating together a few days ago, but he didn't know him?

This made him a little annoyed, so he decided to show his strength in front of the Iron Fist King, and he must not let the Iron Fist King underestimate himself.

Immediately after receiving the ball, he began to push forward quickly.

and defended and retreated, Zhou Quan adjusted his pace from time to time, always blocking Francis in front of him, and Francis, who wanted to advance quickly, came to turn and dribble and wanted to break through.

At this moment, under the accurate prediction, Zhou Quan took a step back very quickly, blocked in front of the opponent half a beat in advance, stretched out his hand and poked the ball, and immediately took a step forward, squeezed Francis away, and controlled the ball.

"Is this broken?"

Francis was a little confused, and hurriedly chased after Zhou Quan, who was about to go.

Amid the huge cheers of more than 22,000 supersonic fans, Zhou Quan entered the paint area and played a hand-changing violent buckle.

"Bang!"

First, he dunked the ball with his left hand, Francis flew from behind to block, and Zhou Quan immediately withdrew his left hand, switched to his right hand, and then smashed the ball into the basket.

"Oh roar!"

When the basket trembled, the cheers of the audience suddenly rose to a high level.

"Francis was tricked by Tekken's feints!" Kenny Smith shook his head and laughed.

"Rookie, don't be discouraged, come again."

Zhou Quan grabbed the bounced basketball and threw it to Francis.

Annoyed, Francis slammed the ball on the floor and bounced high.

"Shh

There was an immediate burst of boos in the central gymnasium.

"Tick!"

The referee also immediately ran over, pointed at the rookie, and then gave a T.

"Rookie, calm down." Big Dream ran over and shouted.

"Rookie, you have a big temper." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Looking at Zhou Quan who was walking to the free throw line, Da Meng said to Francis: "Rookie, he can't keep an eye on you, be careful." ”

"I'm not afraid of him." Glancing at the big dream of death, Francis said coldly.

Da Meng scolded secretly, damn it, you really have a big temper, I'm just worried that you will be killed by that guy tonight, if you want to die, you can do it.

"Brush!"

Zhou Quan hit the penalty and Mosaic attacked.

This time, Francis took advantage of the cover of his teammate scoring guard Shanton Anderson, temporarily escaped Zhou Quan, and quickly crossed the halfway line with the ball from the right wing.

But as soon as he crossed the middle line, Zhou Quan caught up again and blocked in front.

He immediately pulled to the middle, and Zhou Quan chased after him again, all the way to the left wing, and again with the help of small forward Walter Williams' cover, he changed direction downward and killed in the paint area.

But Zhou Quan bypassed Williams and took a shortcut to get in front again.

Francis had no choice but to make a stop-and-go jump shot and force a shot at Zhou Quan's head.

Although he is a point guard, his style of play is very unique, focusing on offense, supplemented by passing, and there is no way to shoot, which is his first choice.

And he also wants to perform in front of Zhou Quan, so that he can get the most attention, and if he can hit a few good shots in front of the Iron Fist King, maybe he can fly up on the spot.

The idea is good, but the reality is also very skinny.

"Smack!"

As soon as he shot the ball, a large hand came and confiscated the ball.

"Oh roar!"

The moment he grabbed the hat, the audience boiled.

"What?"

The shot was caught, and Francis was stunned again.

"Hey, these young people all want to show their hands in front of the Iron Fist King." Kenny Smith sighed.

"Young man, who doesn't want to come out?" Barkley said.

"As a rookie, you still have to be humble in front of the Iron Fist King." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley sang the opposite tune and said, "You have a character, maybe he will look at you again, you don't even have a personality, he has no interest in abusing you."

So I support the idea that Francis wants to show his hand in front of the Iron Fist King, and young people should be like that, not to be afraid of failure, to be brave in the face of failure.

Steve, challenge the Iron Fist King, even if he hits you with 60 points, it's a matter of course, but if you hit 20+ on his head, you're famous. ”

“……”

Kenny Smith was a little dumbfounded, because he felt that there was some truth to what Barkley said.

Francis really did what Barkley said, and in the next games, the head iron ground began to challenge Zhou Quan again and again.

Zhou Quan made 11 steals in the game, seven of which were given to Francis, and also blocked three of them, and scored 42 points on Francis's head.

Francis shot a measly 19 percent on 4-of-21 shooting, made 11 turnovers and dished out just three assists.

By the end of the game, Francis had lost his soul.

The SuperSonics are 10-1 and continue to be the best in the league.

After the game, the team went to Phoenix overnight, one back to another waiting for them.

The Suns were seventh in the West last season, swept by the Trail Blazers in the first round, and have a 6-4 record since the new season, and their strength is still okay.

The core of the team, Kevin Johnson, is close to retirement, and the main point guard is Jason Kidd, who was traded in from the Mavericks in '96, and Payton's hair is small.

In 97, All-Star center Cliffor Robinson was introduced, and this year Penny Anfernee Hardaway was introduced, as well as a group of players such as Rodney Rodgers and Tom Gogliotta, rookie Sean Marion also showed his talent, and after trading Barkley, the current Suns have become a Western powerhouse again.
