The next day, the media was disturbed and all kinds of hype continued.
Zhou Quan ignored the news, he was still playing in the East Finals, he had to rest and recover as much as possible, but there was still the Olympics waiting for him after the finals.
Zhou Yuan has been born for a month, and his small appearance has come out, ugly is not ugly, his mother said that he was the same as when he was a child, but he felt that after integrating Zeng Li's genes, he might not be as handsome as him.
Zeng Li's confinement has not yet been released, and he will accompany him when he is fine, in addition to chatting about some business things, he is also talking about how to train his son.
"Husband, will Zhouzhou do business in the future, or will he practice sports with you? It seems that foreign countries are cultivated according to children's interests. ”
"Families with conditions can be cultivated, but how can they be cultivated without conditions? The elite in the United States engages in elite education and happiness education among ordinary people, and blacks have no other industries except sports, which is why the foundation of sports in the United States is so good. ”
"Then Zhouzhou won't practice sports in the future?"
"Look at his talent and interests, sports need talent, and no talent just interests can't do it. By the way, Ahri, we'd better have a few more, and if we fish in a big net, we can always meet someone with good talent. ”
"Fishing? Hehe, how many do you have to give birth? ”
"Half a dozen, right? My old Zhou family depends on you. ”
"Phew, at most three children, whether you can have another son, it depends on your ability, I can't help you."
"That's okay, three children are three children. You can also do sports if you have a daughter, but you don't have to have a son. ”
"That's not good, it's so hard to practice sports. Husband, you still want Zhouzhou to engage in sports, right? ”
"Well, sort of. I have such a good talent, he should have some talent more or less, right? But if the talent is average, it won't be famous, so forget it, I can't afford to lose that person. ”
"Wow!"
Zhou Yuan, who was sleeping, moved his hands and feet a few times, and suddenly cried.
"Look, husband, you look down on him, the little guy is angry."
"I think it's pulled, it's a little tasteful."
"Poof! Then why don't you hurry up and do it? ”
Without Zhou Quan doing anything, a nanny came in to check it immediately, and sure enough, it was pulled, and then Zhou Yuan was taken out and changed his diapers and washed his ass outside.
"Ahri, have you arranged the matter between Jun and Xiaoyu?" Zhou Quan asked.
"Zhouzhou's grandparents discussed with my mother and my father to get married before the Olympics, on August 28."
"Then you'll have to prepare when you go back."
The two of them were going to return to China in the next two days, and Dad and Xiao Yezi also went back. My mom and I will go back before they get married, and when Zhouzhou is a little older, it will be safer to fly. ”
"Okay."
Zhou Quan nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Jun's number.
"Hey, brother?"
Zhou Jun is still in Los Angeles, preparing his luggage with Zeng Yu.
"Xiaojun, has Xiaoyu passed the graduate exam?"
"It's over, brother, we have already booked the ticket for the day after tomorrow, you let Dad and Xiao Yezi come over tomorrow, we won't go."
"Okay, I'll book them a ticket. I'll give you a sum of money later, you and Xiaoyu can plan your wedding well, and I can't help you. ”
"Brother, I still have money in my hand, let's keep it simple, you and your sister-in-law's wedding is not a big deal."
"Okay, just be happy with yourselves."
"Thank you, brother."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Quan said: "Ahri, the two of them are also going to start a family, we have to have an expression, right?" ”
Zeng Li nodded and said: "I'll give Xiaoyu a box of money, and then prepare a set of jewelry, adding up to one million dollars, and prepare another tea money for Xiaojun, it's about the same, husband, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Quan was speechless and said, "Two million? Ahri, as a sister and sister-in-law, you're too stingy, aren't you? ”
"Two million dollars, sixteen million yuan, still stingy? Then you can arrange it. Zeng Lifu couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's take 20 million dollars out, you will have a sister, and I will have a brother and a sister." Zhou Quan said.
"That's okay, husband, I thank you for Xiaoyu." Zeng Li said with a smile.
Zhou Quan waved his hand and was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang, it was Philip's phone.
"Rogge, is there something wrong?"
"Zhou, the final judgment date of the lawsuit against Bangjieshi Company has been set, June 10." Philip said.
"Okay, you keep an eye on me, I don't have time." Zhou Quan said.
“OK。”
A total of 11 companies were sued, and these companies also sued him, and the 11 lawsuits have been fought for three years, and the first lawsuit is finally about to be completed, which is very troublesome, and Zhou Quan does not want to waste time on this, so it is all handed over to his team of lawyers.
"By the way, Rogge, you can book two plane tickets for me, and my dad and my sister will go to Los Angeles tomorrow."
“OK。”
At this time, the nanny hugged Xiao Zhouyuan in, Xiao Zhouyuan hummed and chirped, and his little arms and legs moved wildly.
"Zhouzhou is hungry, right?"
Zeng Lixi hurriedly took it over to feed, and as soon as Zhou Yuan arrived in her arms, his little head drilled into his chest, and he didn't hum and chirp in his mouth.
Zhou Quan got up and said, "I'll go to my dad and tell me about Xiaojun Xiaoyu." ”
……
The next morning, Zhou Quan drove his father to the airport. Next, he waited at home for the end of the East Showdown.
The Pacers and the Heat fell into a bitter battle, until they reached the tiebreaker, and finally on the night of June 4, 91:88, the Heat defeated the Pacers on the road and reached the Finals.
The Heat joined the NBA league in '88 and reached the Finals for the first time, and the whole of Miami cheered for it.
After the game, Gary Payton, who scored 23 points and 13 assists in the tie-break, said very excitedly in an interview with the media: "Iron Fist King, I'm here." ”
"Gary, what do you think are the chances of the Heat winning the championship?" The journalist asked.
Gary Payton was silent for a moment, but after two seconds of silence, he said excitedly: "Nothing is impossible, anything can happen, I have been waiting for many years, and this is the best opportunity." ”
"Gary, what's the chance?"
The reporter seemed to smell something and immediately asked excitedly.
"Destroy the Iron Fist's chance."
Gary Payton was tempted to say that.
It's a pity that Zhou Quan just made an incredible Western duel, his mouth stinks, it doesn't mean that he has no brains, this sentence came to the door and swallowed it again.
"The opportunity to compete in the same field."
At the thought of facing such a terrifying Iron Fist King, the blood he was full of just now instantly turned cold, and finally dropped this sentence and left.
The fifth super center Mo Ning was also very excited, and said to the media with tears in his eyes: "It's not easy, we have persevered for many years, and finally have the opportunity to hit the championship." ”
"Alonzo, what do you think are the chances of the Heat winning the championship?" The journalist asked.
Faced with this problem, Mourning also calmed down like Payton next to him.
Thinking of the terrifying Iron Fist King, who has won 50+ games in four consecutive games, averaging 55.5 points per game, and swept the Lakers who had beaten the Heat home and away in the regular season, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said: "We will play hard, the result doesn't matter." ”
The reporter was surprised, the result doesn't matter, can you just enjoy the process of being defeated by the Iron Fist King?
From Mo Ning's words, the reporter found that the iron-blooded Mo Ning did not have the courage to publicly say his determination to win the championship, so he realized the horror and power of the Iron Fist King.
"Reggie, the gloves can't be beaten, you still can't! But don't worry, I'll get the gloves for you. After the game, Zhou Quan made a phone call to comfort Reggie Miller.
"Alas!"
It seems that the result of the East Final hit Reggie Miller, and he is not in the mood to speak because he has never suffered a loss.
In the tiebreaker, he was guarded by gloves and shot 4 of 17, plus three-pointers and free throws, a total of 15 points. If he had scored a few more points and been a little more efficient, the result would have been completely different.
"Senior, come and watch the finals, see how I handle my gloves, and see how I win the championship." Zhou Quan continued to comfort.
"No, I'm not coming."
Reggie Miller hung up the phone.
Zhou Quan was stunned, shook his head, and complained: "Larry Bird's illness should affect the Eastern Finals, and the Assassins will take over the Pacers next season......"
Although they were friends, the Assassin was not confident in his first time coaching, and he was afraid that Reggie Miller would continue to be disappointed in the future.
On June 5th, major professional media predicted the probability of winning the finals.
NBC is the live TV broadcaster of the Finals, and the broadcaster's prediction for the Finals is that the superSonics have an 80% chance of winning the Finals.
ESPN even predicts that the SuperSonics will sweep the Heat in the Finals, with a 90% chance of winning the championship.
Predictions came out that David Stern did not want to see, one-sided, completely one-sided, and almost all the media were more bullish on the supersounds.
After seeing the predictions of these media, he was mentally prepared for the Heat to be swept by the SuperSonics.
The finals will start on June 7, and the SuperSonics have a home-court advantage, and the home-and-away format of 232 will be.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 6th, the Heat arrived in Seattle. At four o'clock, at the request of the media, a press conference was held at the hotel.
"Glove, the major media predicts the probability of the Heat winning the championship, the highest is 32%, the lowest is only 8%, there are 132 media in the United States that believe the Heat will be swept away, do you agree with these predictions?" A reporter from the New York Times asked.
Gary Payton has long been holding back the fire in his heart, although he estimates that most of his team will not be able to play the supersounds, but the media's predictions are too extreme, hearing this question, his anger is not suppressed, and he rushes up.
Angry, his brain was suddenly replaced by a dog's brain, and he scolded without words: "I approve of a fart!" Let a dog predict it is more accurate than the media......"
"Gary!"
Pat Riley immediately stopped Gary Payton's outburst.
Peyton shut his mouth at Riley's majesty, and angrily, got up, pulled out his chair, and left.
The Heat's press conference ended unhappily, and Gary Payton was immediately criticized by many media outlets, scolding him as a dog.
In the evening, the Heat held a tactical meeting at the hotel.
Pat Riley stood at the front, his expression serious, the entire room shrouded in his majesty, and no one dared to speak.
"Gentlemen, I know you don't like the media's predictions about the finals."
"But gentlemen, you also know the power of hypersound. The power of supersonic speed is based only on the power of Tekken. Tekken played a terrifying Western showdown and swept away the powerful OK combinations, so the media's predictions were one-sided. ”
"Now it's our turn to face the Iron Fist King, everybody has to cheer up, and we're going to face the Iron Fist King 100 percent, 200 percent, 300 percent."
"I ask you, no matter who you face the Iron Fist King, play the toughest defense, and never let the Iron Fist King calmly shoot in front of you, even if he is lying down."
"Remember, I don't care if you foul or not, even if you get six fouls in a minute, you're our hero."
"Remember, the finals are a war."
"Remember, from the first second, the war will start."
In Pat Riley's murderous words, everyone in the Heat, from the players to the coaches, and even the management, tensed their nerves and sounded the alarm.
