"Where's Mom and Dad?" Zhou Ye asked after sitting down.

"I'm going for a walk by the lake."

"Big brother, Dad's fatty liver is cured, and I was yelling to go back to China yesterday."

"Do you want to go back to China to raise fatty liver? Now it's really normal, if he returns to China, no one cares about him, he will definitely have to suffer again, and he can't be allowed to return to China alone. ”

"Well, you have to take care of your father, otherwise it's either fatty liver or alcoholic liver. By the way, when will the eldest brother, the second brother and Sister Zeng Yu get married? ”

"I don't know, it's up to them to make their own arrangements. Zeng Yu has already obtained her undergraduate bachelor's certificate, and she is preparing to take the postgraduate examination, and when she passes, she should consider getting married. ”

"Brother, I learned a situation......" Zhou Ye said with some doubts.

"What's the situation?" Looking away from the newspaper, Zhou Quan looked at his sister.

"There is a senior who has graduated for seven or eight years and returned to China to find a job, graduated with a doctorate, and I am in the same major, which is a national unit, and I did not pass the first level of registration, and I did not have the opportunity to interview and write a written test. Then that senior voted for several other national units, and they were all brushed off in the first round. Zhou Ye said.

"What is the reason?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.

Zhou Ye said: "I don't know, he had to come back to the United States, and later learned about it in the circle, it turned out that he was not alone, in the circle of nuclear physics students in the United States, over the years, there have been several people who have returned to China to find jobs, and have been rejected by some national units."

It's not completely unnecessary, and there are some peripheral research units that are willing to accept the senior, but the position is very marginal, the position of intern researcher.

Big brother, with that senior's qualifications and academic qualifications, he actually has the strength to enter the core unit as a formal researcher.

There are also associate researchers, assistant researchers, and intern researchers, which are divided into more than ten levels, and intern researchers are the lowest level. ”

"Really?"

"Brother, do you think I can find a job when I return to China in the future? We who study nuclear physics can only go to state units when we return to China, and there are no private companies suitable for our major. Zhou Ye was worried.

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yezi, let's put this matter down first, and I will return to China to find out when I have the opportunity in the future."

As you just said, it's not that there are no units that want you at all, and I think it's okay to start with peripheral units.

You must know that your profession is very sensitive, even if you have the strength, if you want to enter the core unit directly, it is indeed impossible, right?

Domestic soldiers still have to be tried, pilots have to be tried for generations, not to mention your circle? Especially for international students with green cards and American citizenship, I guess it's even more difficult, unless you're the top student. ”

"Uh-huh."

"At the level of a researcher, I didn't get any results when I first entered, so of course I had to start from the bottom. Unless you come in with a project that produces results, that's probably the case. ”

"Got it."

……

After the G1 game, the media adjusted the predictions for the matchup, and the numbers of the winning Pacers and the supersonic improved.

In particular, the supersonic who beat the Lakers will increase the probability of qualifying even more.

For example, ESPN, before the East-West Finals began, predicted that the Pacers' chance of advancing was 48%, the Heat 52%, the SuperSonics 52%, the Lakers 48%, and now it has changed, the Pacers 51%, the Heat 49%, the SuperSonics 60%, and the Lakers 40%.

On the night of the 24th, the G2 game of the Eastern Finals, after the Pacers won the G1 game at home, they lost the G2 game, and the two sides played 1-1.

The Pacers' loss at home was somewhat detrimental to the series, and some media immediately adjusted their predictions for advancement, and the Heat's chances of advancing became higher.

These media outlets make timely adjustments to the data with only one purpose, to attract attention and increase sales with gimmicks.

But these media did steer public opinion, and Reggie Miller, who scored only 15 points in the G2 game, received a lot of blame the next day.

The next morning, Zhou Quan called Miller and comforted: "Reggie, although the G2 battle is indeed rubbish, you have to be strong and strive to prevent death gloves in the away game." ”

"Iron Fist, I'll take out the gloves and then I'll kill you again in the finals." Reggie Miller replied firmly.

"Shall I believe you?"

"What do you say, boy?"

"Haha, senior, lock Peyton, you're going to win, come on, we'll see you in the finals."

"Of course, see you in the finals."

At this time, the Lakers were holding a tactical meeting at the hotel.

Phil Jackson spent two nights and a day from the night after the G1 battle to last night, racking his brains, exhausting his energy, and having some ideas.

"At the heart of all tactics is to create singles opportunities for Shaq."

"Someone on the outside has to step up and use his breakaway, his mid-range shots, his offense, tear apart the supersonic defense and create singles opportunities for Shaq."

"But we don't have the quality of the outside players to meet my requirements at the moment, so we can only support them tactically."

Kobe Bryant sat in the first row, right next to O'Neal, looked at Phil Jackson, heard these words, and began to speculate in his heart about what tactics Phil Jackson would play.

"It's nothing more than a pick-and-roll cover, but these have been tried on Jordan for a long time, and the result is that the Bulls have lost three Finals in a row, becoming the backdrop for the first three-game dynasty in the league's modern history. I'm still a little bit away from Jordan's height, and I've tried these tactics in G1 battles, but it didn't work. ”

"But the Bulls don't have big sharks, maybe it's useful, it's just that the G1 battle is not used well."

"The G1 game put the blame on me for the loss, and this time it's up to him what he says."

Phil Jackson noticed that Kobe's gaze kept looking at him, he smiled and nodded at Kobe, pushed the frame of his glasses, and continued:

"In the G2 battle, let's try to let Kobe Bryant and Shaq play together on the wing. Kobe Bryant immediately cut inside after passing, if the Iron Fist chooses to wrap Shaq, then Shaq immediately passes the ball to Kobe, if the Iron Fist chooses to defend Kobe, Shaq can play by himself.

Of course, if the SuperSonics still play the weak side to help the defense, Shaq has no chance to play alone, and Kobe Bryant cuts and is kept up by the Iron Fist King without a chance, at this time Ron has to move from the top of the arc to the left wing, and Shaq can pass it.

Ron had a chance to make his own shot, and didn't have a chance to pass it again, or pass it down again to Shaq, and try one more time.

If Bryant doesn't have a chance to get into the paint, he has to come out right away and pick up Ron in the high post, forming a triangle again.

On the weak side, AC and Glenn must be active without the ball, and the inside and outside must form the other two corners to try to run out of the open space and wait for the pass. ”

He paused here before continuing: "The second tactic, when Glenn is running without the ball, can try to cut inside, take the opportunity to block Shaq, and create misplaced opportunities for Shaq. It's the same with Kobe, you can also try to play like this. ”

"Thirdly, we need to strengthen our projection ability on the outside. Robert, you're going to get more minutes tonight, so be ready. ”

Robert Horry nodded, a little delighted.

He was traded to the Lakers in the middle of the 96/97 season, this is the fourth season, he has been playing in the main team for the four seasons in Mosaic, and there were many starting opportunities in the first two seasons of coming to the Lakers, but since last season, after Phil Jackson came to the Lakers, he rarely starts, unless Glen Rice is injured, he has no chance to start.

And in the past four seasons of the Lakers, whether it is the starter or the bench, his shots have been cut a lot, and the data is far worse than when he was in Mosaic, which makes him very depressed.

Kobe Bryant heard that Phil Jackson was going to increase Horry's playing time, and he was a little puzzled.

Horry's shooting percentage is not very good, it seems to be less than 44% in the regular season this season, and only 30% of three-pointers, after entering the playoffs, the shooting rate in the first two rounds has dropped again, and the three-point shooting rate has not even been 30%.

He remembers very well that in the second round against the Trail Blazers, Robert Horry only had a 33.3% shooting rate, and only 20.8% of the three-point shots, which was not as good as the superSonics' undrafted picks.

"Shaq, the supersonic stack you with a few meat shields and drain your stamina, you have to play smarter and use more of your teammates' cover to get into the basket. In addition, when you want to be in position, you can ask for position in the move, and don't always have to fight with the other person. ”

"Others add inside cuts, and when the SuperSonics wrap Shaq, we need somebody to get to the basket and Shaq's ball will give it to you."

"We try to win the G2 game, win tonight's game, and with an away win, we can take the initiative in the series."

……

Evening, Seattle New Center Coliseum.

At eight o'clock, the starting list was announced.

Lakers: O'Neal, A.C. Green, Glen Rice, Kobe, Ron Harper

SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Campbell, Bowen, Brent Barry, Zhou Quan

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li said: "The starters of both sides have not changed. ”

"AC Green's fitness is not good, he can't keep up with Campbell at his feet, and the Lakers still let him start, I think there will be problems." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Zhang Li nodded and said: "The Lakers' lineup is not as deep as the supersonics, and only Robert Horry and John Sely can replace the power forward position." John Seley is also 36 years old and can't play for a few minutes, and the No. 1 substitute in the No. 4 position is Horry.

Mr. Xu, don't look at the efficiency of this player, but he is still very daring to shoot at critical moments, and he will definitely throw it to you, and sometimes he can also shoot key shots. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The battle in the paint area is very strong, supersonic speed is to use three meat shields to carry the big shark, the three of them fought well in the G1 battle, this one must be the same fight, and the right one will not change sides." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "From the regular season, the superSonics are coming for the Lakers, Ben Wallace, Brad Miller, Campbell, all have made a certain amount of weight gain. ”

Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "As long as O'Neal is not allowed to play a superexplosive state, I think he will have no problem even if he averages 30 points per game, and the Lakers still can't win the supersonics, because Zhou Quan has an absolute advantage in playing Kobe." ”

Zhang Reasonable smiled: "Kobe Bryant is not not strong enough, but there is indeed a big gap from Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan has been retired for two years, and he is still at the peak." ”

"Shark, how about you eat shark fin tomorrow?"

At this time, in the player's tunnel, Zhou Quan saw O'Neill after arriving and immediately greeted him.

"Fins? What's so good about that? We don't eat that, we don't eat fish with spines. O'Neill said with a look of disgust.

"Iron Fist, what kind of fish's fins?" Bryant asked curiously.

"Sharks." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"You bastard! Not afraid of being bitten by sharks? O'Neill's eyes widened.

"Poof!"

Campbell burst into laughter.

……

"Isaiah, I heard that you resigned from the Raptors, why didn't I listen to you two days ago?" After appearing, Zhou Quan approached the assassin and asked.

"Damn, I just got fired, and the news came out?"

Isaiah Thomas immediately pretended to be surprised and asked, "Iron Fist, I only called the team to resign this afternoon, and the official formalities have not been completed yet, who told you?" ”

"Vinnce."

Zhou Quan pointed to Vince Carter behind him and said.

Seeing Carter and Maddie standing together, the assassin patted his head, Carter is Maddie's cousin, Maddie should have been notified by management, and then told Carter, who in turn told Iron Fist.

"yes, I don't want to do it anymore, the Raptors are terrible." He said helplessly.

Zhou Quan smiled secretly, you guy, you were fired by the Raptors, and lied to me that I didn't want to do it.

"Do you have any plans?" He asked.

The assassin laughed, "ESPN has contacted me, and they plan to fire Barkley and Kenny Smith and ask me to be their ace commentator."

Haha, that Barkley guy targeted you during the commentary, and his position was unfair, and he was complained by a lot of fans, which made ESPN very annoyed. ”

Zhou Quan didn't care about Barkley at all, and asked, "Do you want to dismantle the Bill combination too?" ”

The assassin shrugged and said, "Besides, I haven't said yes yet, I still want to find a team to be a manager or coach." ”

"Well, then you keep trying." Zhou Quan encouraged.

At half past eight, the G2 battle began.

After the jump ball, the Lakers attacked.

At the beginning, O'Neal was full of energy and rushed straight to the basket, Ben Wallace hit it, was directly knocked away, and almost fell to the ground.

"Shaq!"

Ron Harper, who had just crossed the halfway line, saw the opportunity and was very experienced, and threw the ball directly to the basket.

O'Neal sat under the basket, his hands held high, and jumped up to meet the incoming ball.

Ben Wallace had lost his defensive position, with Campbell coming in from the right midfield, but the jump was a big drop behind O'Neal.

"Bang!"

"Tick!"

With the sound of a violent explosion, the basket was directly smashed and sunk by at least 50 centimeters, and the referee's whistle also sounded, pointing at Campbell and making a gesture of foul play.

"Empty Catch! O'Neal was too strong under the basket, opening with a two-and-one, and Campbell paid for a foul for nothing. ”

Zhang Lili saw this ball, and his heart was a little throbbing.

"It's no wonder that the Sharks are now the most dominant center in league history. Coach Zhang, did Big Ben stand in advance just now? Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"It should be a little bit closer, if you stand up early, it's an offensive foul. This is the home of the SuperSonics, and with Zhou Quan's current position in the league, the whistle can't be biased in favor of the Lakers. Zhang said reasonably.

"That's it."

Phil Jackson was also excited, and the ball gave him an opportunity to beat the SuperSonics, and he folded his hands in a trumpet shape and lowered his words to the court: "Shaq, move, use your tonnage to push them sideways." ”
