At eight o'clock, the two sides announced their starting lineups, and at the same time came off the bench to warm up.

Mavericks: Sean Bradley, Nowitzki, Mike Finley, Greg Buckner, Nash

Hypersonics: Ben Wallace, Rashad Lewis, Bowen, Ruben Patterson, Zhou Quan

On the CCTV commentary seat, Xu Jicheng said: "This is the second time that Rashad Lewis has started, and the last time he played Magic, he also started, and it seems that the supersonic want to help him play the main force and let the young people take more responsibility." ”

Zhang Li said thoughtfully: "There are many young people in the supersonics, and Lewis plays power forward and has no rebounds, no defense and no low-post offense, which actually does not meet the requirements of the supersonic, maybe I want him to play statistics, increase the trade value, and then trade him." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Xu Jicheng was a little stunned.

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about it." This is also a derby game, and I hope that I have a chance to play, but I have not played in two games. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "When it comes to rebounding and defending low-post offense, it seems to be as big as ......."

Zhang nodded and said: "The head coach of the Mavericks, Nelson Sr., is a different kind of head coach, he may not ask for a big low post offense, because Nowitzki is always floating outside to shoot, but he will definitely have requirements for rebounding and defense."

I mean, you can step up your rebounding and defense to get more opportunities to play, or you're marginalized. ”

He has something to say, in order for Da Zhi and Da Yao to come to the NBA to play, Zhou Quan has offended Bayi and the Big Sharks in China, if Da Yao can't play a little famous in the NBA, maybe Zhou Quan will also suffer some negative effects in China.

On the TNT commentary bench, Barkley quipped: "The Mavericks drafted the Iron Fist King in '99 with a second-round pick and waited for him for a year, but the results didn't seem too good, and Nelson Sr. must have been disappointed." ”

Kenny Smith immediately said: "After all, it's just a second-round pick, it's not worth anything, and even if it can't be played in the end, I don't think the Mavericks will be disappointed." ”

Speaking of which, he was afraid that Barkley would bring this topic to the Iron Fist King again, so he immediately changed the topic and said:

"Now the superSonics are very strong, they've won nine in a row, Charles, do you think it's just a momentary trend, or is it a trend for Changsi?"

Barkley said: "To be honest, the youngsters of the SuperSonics are better than they were last season, they have a fairly young roster.

Ben Wallace, in particular, averaged 8 points, 14 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, and his defensive efficiency value of 93 was lower than Duncan, who was 94, and he was already the league's first-class defender and qualified to compete for the defensive first team and DPOY. In fact, it seems to me that his value in supersound is no less than that of Tekken. ”

“……”

Kenny Smith has a mouth, are you rusty in your brain, Ben Wallace is worth as much as Iron Fist?

At this time, TNT's camera flashed, and suddenly cut to the commercial time, and then Barkley's headphones sounded the roar of the on-site director Lewis:

"Charles, elementary school students know that a hundred big books can't compare to an iron fist king, don't fart around, don't say something self-righteous, OK?"

"OKOK, I'm just kidding......" Barkley's ears couldn't stand it, and quickly removed the headphones, explaining awkwardly.

"Remember, you're the commentator, and TNT asked you to commentate on the game, not for you to discredit the Iron Fist." Lewis yelled again before letting Barkley go.

Seeing Barkley's embarrassed appearance, Kenny Smith smiled and lay on the commentary seat.

"Kenny, you're smiling!" Barkley glared at Smith.

"Haha...... yes, haha, I'm just, haha, laughing at you, laughing at a fart. Kenny Smith burst out laughing.

"You bastard, you call me a fart?" Barkley was overwhelmed.

……

At 10:00 a.m., the players' tunnel.

"Iron Fist."

The away team arrived a few seconds before Zhou Quan brought his friend over, and several members of the Mavericks hurriedly greeted him.

"Good evening, lads."

Zhou Quan nodded at Nowitzki and the others, greeted them, and then smiled and said to Nash, "Steve, congratulations." ”

"Thank you!"

Nash immediately laughed, he had also played a few starters in the previous two seasons, but he was not fixed, and this season he has been confirmed as the Mavericks' starting point guard.

At that time, he was the worst developed person in the 96 generation, Iverson, Marbury, and Kobe Bryant have long been the absolute main force and even the core, and they have already won tens of millions of sneaker contracts.

Now that he's finally making some progress and has a chance to catch up with them, it makes him look forward to the future.

But the thought of facing off against the Iron Fist King soon, his smile immediately retracted.

Playing the ensuing game, the Mavericks received an amazing boo.

Seattle-goers have always been unkind to the Mavericks, because Dallas is a very racist place, and when Zhou Quan was targeted by the media a few years ago, the Dallas media was at the vanguard of it.

was so big that when I saw this scene, I was a little dumbfounded.

It's not that there were no fans booing them when they played away from home, but how could they be so powerful? How much hatred is this to be so booed?

"Iron Fist! Tekken ......"

Next, the home team played, and when it was Zhou Quan's turn, the whole field resounded with a sea of cheers.

"It's so majestic!"

This scene made Da Zhi feel the ultimate shock, a hundred times stronger than the scene he had just been booed.

"King, the Iron Fist King is a god here." Kristen Lightner said to Dazhi.

It's a pity that this is on the court, and the translator is Xiao Xu off the field, so big that he can't understand it.

At this time, Zhou Quan came over and bumped fists with Da Zhi and encouraged him.

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

The media reporters on the sidelines also pressed the shutter at the two.

Zhang Li sighed and said: "If you are lucky, you should be able to play in the NBA with a big brother covering." Thinking about Zhou Quan, when he first arrived at the Pistons, he was targeted by a group of veterans in the locker room, which was really difficult. ”

"In 91, Su Lian disintegrated, the mentality of Americans swelled, and the social environment changed dramatically, and it was really not easy for Zhou Quan to enter the alliance and gain a firm foothold in that year." Xu Jicheng agreed.

At half past eight, the game began.

"Hehe......"

"Ha ......"

Ben Wallace and Sean Bradley jumped the ball, and the two stood together, and the huge difference in height immediately made many people laugh.

"Smack!"

However, it is the big Ben that wins with the jump ball.

Zhou Quan received the ball from Daben and was not in a hurry, and only after both sides had passed over, he began to advance to the frontcourt.

Just past the halfway line, his shoulders shook slightly, and before he could do anything, Nash was shaken to the left, and he easily burst through from the right.

He was surprised, for several seasons, Kobe Bryant has won a defense, and this young man's defense is still as bad as ever!

Coming to the three-point line on the right wing, he didn't slow down, and went straight inside, which was not too fast, giving Nash a chance to catch up.

Nowitzki was defending Rashad Lewis on the right flank, and when he saw Zhou Quan coming in, not far from him, he could wrap it up, and immediately pounced.

Lewis, who was at 30 degrees from the three-point line, saw it and immediately ran down, and when he ran to the bottom right corner, he really received a pass from Zhou Quan.

Nowitzki looked back and it was too late, and Lewis had already made a move.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

After succeeding, Lewis excitedly ran towards Zhou Quan and reached out to high-five.

After months of hard work on three-pointers in the offseason, he's finally made a difference, and he's shooting 44 percent from three-point range this season.

Zhang Li saw the ball and said: "Around Zhou Quan, there are a lot of vacancies on the outside, it depends on whether you can catch it."

This Lewis's off-ball running ability is actually average, but after playing in Zhou Quan for a year, it can be regarded as improving, and the technique of shooting in the open position has also been practiced. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Quan really needs such a person around him, so he runs outside and shoots three points." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "It's just that the defense is a little worse, and the defense is better, it's 3D, and he can definitely play the main force." ”

The Mavericks attacked, and Nash received the ball and advanced from the middle.

His speed was fast, but Zhou Quan was also very fast, always blocking the front, not letting him rush with all his might.

"Squeak!"

When Zhou Quan ran to the top of the arc, he quickly turned around and took the lead in the defensive position.

But Nash wasn't a rookie either, and with a change of direction, he quickly burst through the top of the right arc.

"Oh! Suddenly! ”

Barkley screamed excitedly when he saw Zhou Quan being abrupt.

"The Iron Fist King has been assaulted!"

Kenny Smith also shouted in surprise.

Zhou Quan quickly turned to the left, and at the same time moved sideways to the next step, and it was attached to Nash's left side, and the confrontation happened instantly.

Nash's small body, although it has a tonnage of 84 kilograms, but the confrontation ability is very poor, Zhou Quan didn't use much force at all, he was squeezed outward, almost walked, and quickly pulled to the right elbow area, and failed to break into the paint area.

On the right wing, Nowitzki runs from the inside towards the three-point line while asking for the ball.

Nash quickly passed the ball, and Nowitzki took the ball, flicked upward, and Rashad Lewis, who was following him, flew directly into the sky before he got up again.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, at 15:20, the SuperSonics led by 5 points at home, and the Mavericks called a timeout, and after the timeout, they were replaced by Big Bamboo Pole and partnered with Nowitzki inside.

"Wang, defense, rebounding, this is what I wanted, and this is what you promised me." Before going on the field, Nelson Sr. reminded again.

“OK。”

Translator Xiao Xu hurriedly translated to Da Zhi, and Da Zhi nodded seriously.

"It's big to play." Xu Jicheng looked forward to the authentic.

"He's similar to Nowitzki's style, and the old Nelson doesn't ask him to go to the basket to attack, just pull out and shoot, like Nowitzki, but defensive rebounds really can't be lost! This is the foundation of the Mavericks. Zhang said reasonably.

The game starts and the Mavericks attack.

Zhou Quan's subordinates showed mercy and arranged for Rashad Lewis to keep up with Dazhi, and did not let Daben defend Dazhi.

It was so big that the paint area spun around for a moment, then suddenly ran along the baseline towards the bottom left corner, with Lewis falling behind.

Nash was very smart, and after the left and right spurts couldn't break through the Iron Fist King, he immediately split the ball and gave Mike Finley to Mike Finley, who was 45 degrees from the left three-point line.

Finley took the ball, was entangled by Bowen, and the chance to shoot was not good, and then he saw that Da Zhi was about to run to the bottom left corner, and hurriedly passed it.

As big as catching the ball in the bottom left corner, and when he turned around, he held the ball upwards with both hands, and Lewis, who pounced, immediately padded with one foot and flew up.

"Ouch!"

As he ducked down, his upper body gave way to the left, and Lewis flew straight past him and crashed into several media reporters.

"Brush!"

I can't care about the person behind me turning on his back, so big as getting up from the ball for the second time, shooting three-pointed, and hitting.

"Beautiful! The feints are done calmly. Lewis was too easy to eat, having just eaten one Nowitzki, and now he had eaten another. Zhang said happily.

"I just don't know if Lewis is injured." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Rashad Lewis got up from the crowd and pressed his hands to his left knee, his face pained.

"I wasn't lucky, I was really injured." Zhang said reasonably.

"How's it going, Rashad?" Zhou Quan ran over and asked.

"Boss, my knee hit the floor." Lewis smiled wryly.

"Hard wounds, as long as the bones are not broken, there is no problem, and old injuries will not be formed." Zhou Quan comforted.

"The bones should be fine." Lewis nodded.

At this time, two teammates came to the bench, plus the team doctor, helped him over and began to examine him.

Westphale was replaced by Campbell, and the alignment was so great.

Supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan deliberately passed the ball to Campbell in the low post on the left flank, allowing him to play alone.

Campbell's offense is average, it can be said that he is not good at attacking, and if it is so big that even Campbell can't defend it, it will be very disappointing.

In the '96 and 2000 Olympics, he beat David Robinson and Mourning, but in fact, it wasn't that he didn't have defense, he felt that it was okay to defend Cambe.

Campbell, who received the ball, hurriedly passed it back, but Zhou Quan passed it again.

Campei, who received the ball again, was a little speechless, boss, except for me getting a good opportunity under the basket, you rarely pass the ball to me, why are you so persistent in letting me play today?

"Boy No. 16, can you step on my stepping stone?"

There was no way, and after complaining secretly, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start beating Dazhi on his back.

As big as the full defense, his tonnage is actually not small, 116 kilograms, but Campbell's weight reached 127 centimeters, and he was pushed back step by step.

However, Campbell's offensive skills are really not very good, and the ball in his hand is a little out of control when he leans in, so he has to stop playing, and after grabbing the ball with both hands, he immediately gets up and plays a hook hand.

"Smack!"

As big as seeing the opportunity, it was directly a big hat and a hat to put Campbell in the hat.

The ball was directly out of bounds by the hat, and Campbell looked at Zhou Quan with resentful eyes, Boss, are you satisfied?

"Beautiful!"

Xu Jicheng and Zhang Li shouted happily at the same time.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

On the sidelines, Nelson Sr. was also applauding, looking very satisfied with Dazhi's defense.

The first time he noticed Dazhi was at the Atlanta Olympics in '96, when he capped the admiral, allowing him to see the shining point of Dazhi.

In this game, of course, the winner was the SuperSonics, with ten consecutive wins.

Da Shang played 21 minutes, shooting 4-of-9 from the field with a shooting rate of 44.4%, 2-of-6 from three-point range, shooting 33.3% from the field, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, and scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

As a center, the shooting percentage is certainly not good, but under the defense of Campbell and Ewing, this performance is not bad, at least Nelson Sr. is very satisfied, after all, it is only a second-round pick, and he will not really expect to play Nowitzki's performance, and a lot of first-round picks can't play like this.

In fact, as long as he invests on the defensive end, works rebounding, and is a little worse offensively, he will give him a chance.

In addition, on the defensive end, Campbell and Ewing did not take much advantage of Dazhi, after all, one offense is not good, and the other is old and injured.

After the game, Zhou Quan said to Dazhi: "Look, as long as you are willing to defend and are willing to grab rebounds, you can do it." Playing like this, you still have a chance with the Mavericks, don't just think about offense. ”

"Brother, I remember." Grateful to the authentic.

Zhou Quan added: "Seize the opportunity, start with defense and rebounding, do a good job as a role player, and strive to get into the Mavericks' rotation lineup, or even an important rotation lineup."

As long as you're doing a good job, Nelson Sr. is still willing to give you a chance, and you shouldn't have a problem averaging 15 to 20 minutes of playing time per game.

I still say the same thing, first correct your mentality, integrate into the Mavericks, communicate more with coaches and teammates, take the initiative to strive for opportunities, with your talent and strength, you can have a bowl of rice in the NBA. ”
