God of NBA point guards

Chapter 409 Shark, what are you doing with a bottle of sleeping pills?
"Michael, will the Bulls' internal conflict be resolved by tonight's victory?" a New York Times reporter asked.

Jordan's face was a bit stinky, staring at the reporter and said: "We have no conflicts. We are together every day. When we disagree, there will inevitably be disputes. We need to communicate. It's just media hype."

"Then you haven't been interviewed about what happened to the Supersonics at the hotel last night. Do you know the inside story? Are those Japanese and Korean girls who deliberately attacked the Tekken room really international students from the University of Chicago? Are they really compensated dating girls? Have you been with them?" The reporter asked again.

"I don't know anything about it, and I don't have any relationship with those girls. I don't know about it." Jordan immediately denied.

"Protest, they are not female supporters, they are overseas students, they are just conducting normal assisted dating activities, and there will be no money transactions involved."

"Michael, please apologize."

Many Japanese and Korean reporters below were very dissatisfied when they heard Jordan's words, and they all shouted.

Jordan rolled his eyes, you think I'm stupid, I don't want money, don't the things you collect cost money?
"Quiet! Please be quiet, or you will be expelled immediately." The host yelled loudly, which made some Japanese and Korean reporters shut their mouths.

The next question was from a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, who asked, "Michael, do you think that the Sonics' loss tonight has something to do with their being harassed last night and their unsatisfactory state?"

"A game is a game, a win is a win, a loss is a loss, I lose, never find any reason, I accept failure." Jordan said.

On the other end, the supersonic press conference.

"Tekken, how will you adjust your state next?" a reporter asked.

"Rest well and focus on the game."

"The Bulls have implemented the craziest double-team on you, and your performance in this game is not good. How are you going to solve their double-team tactics?" The reporter asked again.

"This issue involves the work of the coach and needs to be discussed with the coaching staff. I am just a player, not a coach."

"You didn't give an interview about what happened at the hotel last night. Would you like to say something now?" the next reporter asked.

"The Bulls fans are very effective." Zhou Quan said helplessly.

"Pfft!"

Many reporters laughed.

The reporter who asked the question smiled and asked: "According to the current news, the girls who harassed you last night were all Japanese and Korean students studying abroad. This must have been specially prepared for you by someone. Do you think they fit your aesthetic standards?" ?”

"Protest, protest, they are not prostitutes, they are just compensatory dating girls." A Japanese reporter shouted angrily below.

"Sorry, my door has not been breached and I haven't seen them, so I can't answer your question." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

The reporters below roared with laughter.

……

Shortly after the press conference, the supersonic bus left the United Center and drove to the new hotel.

This is a private hotel with high privacy, and the price is more expensive than the average five-star hotel. Ballmer specially arranged it.

In order to defend the title, Ballmer is still willing to take money. In addition to the players and staff, the wags and girlfriends also stayed in this hotel.

Zhou Quan didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning on the 7th.

On this day, he didn't do anything except eat and practice sleeping alchemy.

Not to mention, it was another day and night, and when he woke up on the morning of the 8th, he had a deeper understanding of Sleeping Alchemy after a day and two nights of practice, which was indeed different from ordinary sleeping.

His grandfather let him sleep [-] hours a day, but he never tried it, because if he sleeps too much, he will be more mentally and physically tired.

But now he practiced continuously for one day and two nights, for at least 25 hours, and he didn't feel the tired feeling of sleeping too much in mind and body.

At 8:8 in the morning on the [-]th, the managers, players, and family members gathered together for breakfast.

"How do you feel?" Zhou Quan asked.

"not bad."

"OK."

Schramff and others said.

Zhou Quan observed it, and it was better than before the G3 game. But overall, he has played nearly a hundred games. Both mentally and physically, he is already close to a limit. He is just sticking to it. Not enough to get them back into shape, two months out of the question.

In the NBA, there is a saying that the playoffs are the stage for superstars, but the finals are the stage for superstars.

So in the next series, he has to rely more on his own performance, rather than his teammates who are already close to their physical limits.

After breakfast, the Sonics held a tactical meeting.

George Karl's expression was not easy, because he couldn't find any good solution to the Bulls' double-teaming tactics against the Iron Fist.

Now he can only expect two things. One is that when Tekken is double-teamed, he can pass the ball to the open teammate in time, and then the open player can throw in after receiving the ball; the other is that the players are in better condition.

There is only one way for Jordan to break double-teams, which is to use a strong personal offense to solve the problem. In his opinion, apart from his personal offense is not inferior to Jordan, Tekken also has better passing ability than Jordan, so his ability to break double-teams should be Stronger than Jordan.

The Bulls have only one solution to Jordan's double-team tactics, which is to use the triangle offensive system, use frequent passes, running positions, screens, etc. to create singles opportunities for Jordan.

But this method is not suitable for the Supersonics, because Iron Fist is not Jordan. Jordan mainly plays off the ball, while Iron Fist is a big-core play with the ball. The ball is always in his hands. The Supersonics rarely pass the ball when attacking, so he is better than Jordan. Easier to be double-teamed.

"Tonight everyone is pulling away for me to create singles opportunities for Tekken. When he encounters double-teams, others must run more, must run out of position, pay attention to receiving the ball, reduce mistakes, and take shots. Be decisive."

"Iron Fist, you can add some passing, which can help break their double-team tactics."

"On the defensive end, our defense in the last game was good, and we will continue to do that tonight."

In the afternoon, the team came to the United Center for restorative training.

In the evening, the United Center Arena.

Zhou Quan, Zeng Li, Zhou Jun, and manager Philip had dinner at a restaurant in the center. When they came out, a large group of reporters had already gathered outside.

"Tiequan, have you slept well these two days?"

"Tekken, can you tell us about the hotel you are staying at?"

"Tekken, is there still someone harassing you at night?"

"Iron Fist..."

Seeing them appear, they rushed forward, and all kinds of questions were thrown out.

"Sorry, Tekken doesn't do interviews before games."

Philip stood in the front and opened the way with Zhou Jun.

After finally breaking through the siege, several people hastened their pace and left the restaurant.

However, the reporters would not let go of the opportunity and followed up one after another. Even if Zhou Quan didn't answer any questions, it would be nice to be able to take a few photos.

"Brother, if you answer a few questions, maybe they won't follow you," Zhou Jun said.

"Your brother, I'm not an answering machine. I answer every question. Do you know what is reserved? Do you know what hunger marketing is?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"..."

Zhou Jun couldn't help being stunned, thinking, he has learned another trick, that is, he should treat reporters like dogs and not let them eat enough.

……

On the evening of the 8th, the United Center Stadium was star-studded.

Stars and supermodels in the entertainment industry, NBA stars, everywhere.

Barkley, Dameng, Ewing, etc., these Jordan's friends all appeared on the sidelines.

O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Isiah Thomas, Bill Walton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Zhou Quan's friends are the same.

At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting rosters.

Sonics: Almon Gilliam, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Joo Won
Bulls: Kevin Willis, Luc Longley, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper
"The Bulls' starting lineup has not changed. The Supersonics let Gilliam play the starting lineup. This is to increase the ability to stretch and create more restricted space for outside breakthroughs and inside cuts." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Gilliam started, and his low-post offensive ability has also increased. His rebounding and defense are not bad, but his confrontation ability is not as good as Matt Geiger. But what I want to know more is how Zhou Quan slept these two nights. So." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Lili laughed. He also asked, but Zhou Quan was very careful and didn't even reveal it to him.

Xu Jicheng said with some concern: "In addition to the state reason in the G3 game, there is another important reason for the loss, which is the Bulls' double-team tactics against Zhou Quan. I don't know how the Supersonics can solve this problem."

"Yes, can George Karl come up with a corresponding tactic, but I think it's difficult. The Bulls' three perimeter defenses are too strong, and they are determined to double-team Zhou Quan. It is difficult to break their defense." Zhang Reasonable shook his head.

Xu Jicheng panicked, and quickly asked, "Director Zhang, why?"

Zhang Lili said: "The Bulls fell at the feet of the Bad Boys for three consecutive years. The Pistons defended Jordan in this way. This kind of extreme defense has no good countermeasures at all. Otherwise, how could the Bulls fail for three consecutive years?
It wasn't until the bad boy army was old, injured, scattered, and the league introduced malicious foul rules in 90. Jordan also entered his peak period. "

"What about supersonic speed?" Xu Jicheng asked quickly.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Don't worry, after all, the Bulls are not the bad boy army that will do whatever they can to defend, and the Supersonics are already very strong, no worse than the Bulls. The Bulls spend too much on the defensive end, and the investment on the offensive end will definitely decrease. The Sonics have the same chance."

Xu Jicheng felt relieved, nodded and said: "The Sonics and the Bulls have played nearly a hundred games so far this season, and their physical fitness should be almost gone. Now we will compete with will, and I hope the Sonics will persist to the end."

"Be sure to have a good rest, so you can recover a little bit of blood. Not having a good rest before the G3 game is indeed one of the important reasons for losing." Zhang Reasonable said.

In the TNT commentary seat, Larry Bird said: "I don't know how Iron Fist slept these two days. I expect him to have an explosive state in this game."

Magic Johnson said: "I think it's hard, the players' physical fitness has been exhausted, and now they are insisting.

Generally speaking, even if it is a super giant, it is very good to be able to play in a normal state or a slightly better state in the finals series.

In the first three games, neither Michael nor Iron Fist had ever scored 50+. Iron Fist averaged 35.6 points per game, slightly lower than the regular season performance, and Michael 31.3 points, slightly higher than the regular season performance, which is already very good. "

Larry Bird also nodded and said: "Physical fitness is indeed not enough, and now it is supported by will. In addition, although Michael Jordan is a physical monster, Tekken's physical fitness is not bad, and he is younger."

Magic Johnson shook his head and said, "Facing the Bulls' double-team tactics and the three top-notch defenders on the outside, I don't really believe that Iron Fist can play a super-explosive performance.

And the Bulls did a very good job of limiting the Sonics' offensive and defensive rhythm in the last game, greatly reducing their fast break points. "

Larry Bird said with a grin: "In fact, the Bulls have been double-teaming Iron Fist in the past few seasons, but Iron Fist still won two championships. This shows that the Bulls' double-teaming tactics may not necessarily prevent him."

Magic Johnson immediately said: "But it's different now. Although Ron Harper and Pippen can't defend against Iron Fist alone, they can have a very good restrictive effect on Iron Fist in defense. That's why the Bulls won the game in G3. main reason."

"No, the main reason for the Supersonics' loss in G3 was the state of the game. The Bulls fans are too strong." Larry Bird said in a joking tone.

"Ha ha……"

When the two said this, they both laughed.

In the player channel, the two teams meet in the starting lineup.

"Iron Fist, I'm sure I'll win this game, and there's another one."

Jordan's eyes are sharp, his eyes are full of desire for victory, and his tone is extremely firm. He looks sharp and sharp, not at all like a 33-year-old veteran.

"The next game? Hehe, Mr. David Stern will come to Chicago with the championship trophy before the G5 game." Zhou Quan said lightly and left the stage.

"Impossible."

Staring at Zhou Quan's back, Jordan gritted his teeth.

"Zhou Quan is here!"

At this time, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"I hope that the Supersonics can withstand the pressure and win this game. If they get the match point [-]-[-], they will basically be stable. If they lose, the score will be tied [-]-[-], and the Bulls still have a home game. Then it will be a bit troublesome. " Xu Jicheng said.

"If it's really a draw, it's not a little trouble for the Sonics, but it's quite unfavorable. Two consecutive victories at home, but being tied away in the away game will definitely affect morale." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Tekken, did you sleep well?" O'Neill shouted loudly from the sidelines.

"Not bad." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"I have a bottle of sleeping pills here, I think this thing is useful for you, do you want it?" O'Neal said with a smile.

"No, that thing has a negative effect on me."

After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he suddenly looked shocked, looked at O'Neill and said, "Shark, what are you doing with a bottle of sleeping pills? Is there anything you can't think about? Depression? Damn, don't mess around, how much you've taken, Shall I call an ambulance for you?"

"..." O'Neal looked dazed.

"Ha ha……"

A group of people, such as the smiling assassin, fell down laughing.
