On the 10th, Da Yao took Yao's father and Yao's mother from China to the United States, and specially went to Seattle to visit Zhou Quan first, and Zhou Quan entertained them to stay at home for one night.

For the three of Da Yao, he felt that Da Yao's emotional intelligence was the highest.

Da Zhi Da Bus rarely took the initiative to contact him, and Da Ba even had a temper with him, but Da Yao often took the initiative to contact him, took the initiative to talk to him about some various problems encountered, and asked him for suggestions.

In addition, Da Zhi's contract extension with the Mavericks was not negotiated, and he had left the Mavericks, and at the recommendation of Philip, he signed a 3-year contract of $13 million with the Clippers, which is a typical middle-class contract, which is basically a firm foothold in the NBA.

On the 11th, Zhou Quan sent away Da Yao's family, and then rushed to the supersonic headquarters.

Pre-season is just around the corner, all the players have come to report and he has seen all his new team-mates.

There are five newcomers, four forwards and one defender, two of whom are marginal, according to Whithitt, and ten of the 12-man squad are in the main rotation, which is not bad.

But in fact, two of the center positions are meat shields, mainly used to deal with O'Neal, and the playing time is limited, so it is really counted as two top one, and the main rotation lineup can only be counted as 9, which is not as abundant as last season.

After greeting his old teammates, he chatted with five newcomers to get to know them, even if it was the undrafted Lagabel, he also chatted a few words.

Jonathan Bender and Ragabel, two marginal people, he felt that he could give Ragabel some chances, because this undrafted draft lacked playing time to prove himself, and Bender was not bad at playing, but his knee was completely useless, and the opportunity was useless.

"Raja, since you are here for the SuperSonics, then you have to work hard, you can learn from Big Ben, he was also undrafted like you, but now he has a big contract of tens of millions." He encouraged.

Ragabel said excitedly: "Boss, I must learn from Big Ben, I will train my defensive skills well." ”

Zhou Quan nodded, this attitude is good, Rajabel is average, so he was defeated, starting from defense, this is the right attitude, because defense pays more attention to attitude.

And unless it's a specific player, like a shooter like Mike Miller, start with defense, which is what fringe and role players need to do first.

"Do you have any technical characteristics?" He asked.

"I'm good at shooting three-pointers at the top of the arc and I'm always working on it, and I like to defend, like Bowen. ”

Zhou Quan was stunned, nodded and smiled: "Yes, compared with Big Ben, Bowen is a more suitable template for you, and he also lost the draft." ”

"I know, so I'm hoping to be the next Bowen of the SuperSonics." Ragabel said excitedly.

After chatting with Rajabel for a few words, Zhou Quan chatted with Bender for a few more words, and encouraged: "Jonathan, the knee makes you unable to fight in the low post, and you can't run, you can try to make a high battery, you have three points." ”

Jonathan Bender hurriedly said: "Boss, I will cherish every opportunity to play." ”

"That's good, don't give up." Zhou Quan nodded.

Next, Zhou Quan participated in the preseason with the team.

However, he didn't play much, and each game meant about ten minutes, so use this time to move his body, recover his form, and warm up for the new season.

The new season will start on October 29, and only three official opening games have been arranged, namely the Lakers hosting the Spurs, the SuperSonics hosting the Nets, and the Kings hosting the Cavaliers.

On the 27th, it was the media day of the new season of the SuperSonics, and Zhou Quan led all the players to participate.

"Iron Fist, do you have any goals and expectations for the new season?" The Seattle Times reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "We have gone a few people, including the two main players of Rashad and Bruce, and there are some changes in the lineup, which will increase our difficulties, but we are still full of pursuit for the new season, and this pursuit refers to the championship."

Although the SuperSonics have completed two consecutive triple crown dynasties, our desire to pursue the championship and honor is still there, and we are still full of hunger for the championship. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the local reporters applauded excitedly.

"Iron Fist, the Lakers have strengthened the Postman, what do you think of the current Lakers? Will they be an opponent of hypersound? The second person to ask a question was Yu Jia.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "The Postman can really make the Lakers stronger, he can provide consistent mid-range scoring and strong defense.

But the Lakers also have various problems, such as O'Neal's weight problem, so we have to play the specific situation to know. ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Zhou Quan mention O'Neill's weight, everyone laughed.

Yu Jia asked again: "Iron Fist King, according to Los Angeles media reports, O'Neal's weight should be back to 170 kilograms, you have met him, do you think this data is accurate?" ”

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "He said that he only gained a few kilograms, at most ten pounds, I don't know the specifics, subject to the reports of the Los Angeles media." ”

"Haha......" the crowd laughed.

The host was very face-saving and didn't let people put away the microphone, so Yu Jia continued to ask: "Iron Fist King, as big as joining the Clippers and the bus joining the Spurs, do you have any suggestions for them?" ”

"I've talked a lot to them about how to play in the league, so I'd like to remind you to get your mindset right, do the work you need to do, and cherish every opportunity to play." Zhou Quan said briefly.

It was also the Lakers' media day, with the bad news announced that O'Neal had been injured in practice and would be out for at least three weeks.

On the morning of the 28th, Zhou Quan retreated from the realm of sleeping Dangong, and as soon as he opened his eyes, the system panel jumped out.

"New mission, huh?"

When I opened it, it wasn't, but a farewell letter.

"Inform the host that the system has built you into the best professional basketball player in the world, and now the host has two options: first, the system is separated from the host; Second, the host follows the system to another parallel space-time and starts over. ”

"If the host does not make a selection in time, the system will automatically choose to disengage. The three-second countdown begins, three, two......"

"I'm X!"

Startled, he sat up from the bed.

"What's the matter, husband?" The movement was too big, and Zeng Lifu was awakened.

"Oh, it's fine."

Zhou Quan replied, the countdown was over, and the system panel instantly shattered into countless starlight, and then disappeared in an instant.

He was dumbfounded and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"What's special, fortunately, I automatically choose one, Lao Tzu lives well, but I don't want to cross."

……

On the 29th, the opening match of the 02/03 season begins.

Before the game, the supersonic veterans received their championship rings from last season.

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

When Zhou Quan put on his seventh championship ring, the audience burst into an earth-shattering shout.

"If Zhou Quan was an American, he would be the god of basketball by now. Many mainstream media in the United States say that he can only compete with the Lord of the Rings by playing eight consecutive championships, such a standard is simply unreasonable, how can completely different eras be compared together? Zhang said with emotion.

"Even if he is not the god of basketball, he is a well-deserved god of point guard, which no one can deny." Yu Jia said.

Zhou Quan took off the ring and handed it to Zeng Li, who came to the scene today, and then was snatched by Xiao Zhouyuan.

The two-and-a-half-year-old Zhou Yuan is very lively and energetic, and he usually has to take care of two nannies and his grandmother together, and he has to bring a nanny to watch the football here, otherwise Zeng Li can't take care of it alone, and he runs away in the blink of an eye.

He discussed with Zeng Li, and when Jazz is listed in China next year, he will have a second child, and it happens that Xiao Zhou Yuan can go to kindergarten at the age of three.

Although the system has run, after he completed the second triple championship, his kidney function has strengthened by 100%, and he feels that the children born in the future may have better physical fitness, so he can't waste his good genes, and he has to give birth to a few more, and he can always catch a big fish by fishing with a big net.

It's a pity that the damn system went a little faster, and it didn't give him the function of strengthening the liver and spleen, and I am afraid that it is hopeless to cultivate immortals in this life.

In this game, head coach McMillan sent Ben Wallace, Coatthomas, Desmond Mason, Corry Magetti, Zhou Quan starting lineup.

Mason was very happy to start the opening game, as the No. 17 pick in the first round in '00, he has been playing as a substitute in the SuperSonics, and he has been looking forward to starting for a long time.

Yu Jia analyzed: "Mason's technical characteristics are similar to Cory Maggeti's, the same shooting is not good, he is good at breaking through violent dunks, and his style of play is very strong, so his starting position may not be solid." ”

Zhang nodded and said: "His rookie contract is four years, this season is the third year, and the SuperSonics are in no hurry to trade him, but he and Corimageti may only end up keeping one."

This season is Cory Magetti's contract year, and people who don't shoot well are actually a good match for Zhou Quan, and management may renew his contract, but they may also trade him before the trade window closes.

Of course, if you put him in the bench lineup, so is Mason, the two of them should be very good in the bench lineup, they can play their strengths, and they are not compatible with Zhou Quan in the main lineup.

Zhou Quan's breakthrough ability is too strong, he doesn't need their breakthrough at all, he only needs their shooting, but both of them can't shoot, they can't practice, this is a matter of talent. ”

Yu Jia chimed in: "So the management's plan should be to trade it out after it is cultivated, just like Rashad Lewis."

Zhang Reasonable said: "Yes, that's it. Lewis got the Magic's unprotected first-round pick in '04, plus Mike Miller, this deal is okay, it's not a loss, and if the Magic can't make the playoffs in '04, it's even more cost-effective. ”

In the opening game with the Nets, the SuperSonics finally won and got off to a good start.

However, the process was a bit difficult and not as smooth as the last finals.

Mason and Margeti were in the same starting lineup, neither of them shot, and Zhou Quan was not compatible, unable to make full use of the outside space created by Zhou Quan with the ball, and missed several open balls in a row at the beginning, and even caused the SuperSonics to start behind.

Later, Zhou Quan changed his style of play, no longer breaking through with the ball, and let the two of them break through with the ball and cut inside, and play pass and cut tactics, so that their offensive efficiency can be improved.

However, this style of play obviously failed to give full play to Zhou Quan's technical characteristics and strength, and Mason and Margeti's ability to break through with the ball and cut into the air was a big difference to him, which affected the overall offensive efficiency of the whole team.

However, the power forward Cott Thomas was not bad, shooting a lot of open balls from Zhou Quan, showing the technical characteristics of accurate shooting, scoring 25 points and hitting 54.5%.

Zhou Quan stepped up his personal shots, scoring 42 points, shooting 62.5% from the field under Kidd's defense, diching out 14 assists, six steals and four blocks.

The game was also an attempt by McMillan and a chance to give Mason, who turned out to be wrong, with Mason and Margeti starting at most and the other having to add outside shooting to the bench and the main lineup.

After the SuperSonics game, the Lakers' opener was also over, and in O'Neal's absence, the Lakers lost at home at 87:82.

Although the Spurs won, they did not play well, and the performance was very sparse.

Tim Duncan didn't play well under the Postman's defense, shooting just 3-of-14 from the field for just 21.4 percent, plus 8-of-13 free throws for just 14 points and 10 rebounds, but had five big hats and one steal.

David Robinson also had just 13 points, making 3-of-3 shooting and 7-of-10 from the free-throw line.

Tony Parker played even more "bravely", shooting 0 of 10 in 21 minutes, scoring only two points with free throws, and was almost drowned on the bench by Popovich's saliva.

Ginobili, who had just entered the team, shot 3 of 9 and played averagely.

The Spurs are terrible, and the Lakers are terrible.

The Postman's debut at Staples was a bit of a disappointment for fans with O'Neal missing a lot of shots, shooting just 7-of-21 from the field and shooting just 33.3 percent from the field.

Kobe Bryant didn't play well, shooting only 9 of 29 shots and shooting only 31%.
