God of NBA point guards

Chapter 421 Rodman's Contract
Magic Johnson nodded and said: "There are many reasons for the loss. The lineup problem is the main one. Both the inside and the rebound need to be strengthened, and then the internal conflicts need to be resolved."

Larry Bird said: "The Supersonics lost to the Bulls in the finals in 94. The configuration of the center position was not good. Then they reinforced Gilliam and Geiger, two practical second-rate centers. crown.

So I hope that the Bulls will first solve the internal problems, and then, like the Sonics, get one or two practical centers who can defend and rebound, as well as have a certain ability to attack in the low post and around the basket.

Second-rate ones are fine, don't just stare at those all-star centers, which team is willing to trade all-star centers?Unless their bodies are failing, like Kevin Willis.

"Okay, now Mr. Stern is going to award the championship trophy to the Supersonics. Let us congratulate the Seattle Supersonics." The magician said at this time.

At the scene, the smiling Supersonic boss Ballmer took the trophy handed over by Stern and held it high.

"Oh hoo!"

Two thousand Supersonic fans erupted into home-court shouts, cheers, and applause.

Zhou Quan received the trophy, and the cheers on the scene became even louder.

"Envious, Charles?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was standing next to Barkley in the crowd outside, asked.

The jealousy and envy in Barkley's eyes couldn't be concealed at all. When he thought that he was getting old and didn't have a championship yet, and Iron Fist had already won three championships in the first five seasons of his career. After hearing the sour water, now that I heard Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words, I am more determined to leave Houston.

When Reggie Miller heard Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words, on a whim, he also said to Dameng in front of him: "Dameng, are you envious?"

"Do you believe me if I beat you to death?"

Olajuwon looked at the championship trophy in Zhou Quan's hands, his eyes glowed green, and when he heard Miller's words, he turned around and stared at Miller viciously.

"The Iron Fist King is here, I don't believe it." Reggie Miller shook his head.

"Humph!"

Dameng could only snort resentfully.

"Puchi..." O'Neal laughed.

Next, the results of the voting for the Most Valuable Player of the Finals were announced. David Stern took the envelope, took it out and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are nine votes in total. Congratulations to Zhou Quan. Unanimous again! Elected as the Most Valuable Player of the Finals."

"Oh hoo!"

The cheers of more than [-] people also created an overwhelming momentum, and the United Center was full of joy.

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Congratulations to Zhou Quan, now there are three championships, three FMVPs, two MVPs, and two All-Star AMVPs, a total of seven MVPs.

By the way, in addition, Zhou Quan also has four assists, four steals, one scoring, and a total of nine individual statistics.

As a point guard, he also has two DPOYs, four first-team doubles, one second-team defense, six monthly bests, and fourteen weekly bests.

These honors are enough to fill an honor room. "

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan has more and more hard honors, and he is catching up with Jordan in terms of honors."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "If the title is successfully defended, next season will be a very, very crucial season. The Supersonics have only one goal, and Zhou Quan's goal, and that is to defend the title again and win the dynasty three times in a row."

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Once it is completed, I believe that Zhou Quan's honor and status in the NBA will surpass Michael Jordan."

Zhang Lili said with some concern: "After two consecutive championships, the Supersonics will definitely become the league's public enemy, and it will be difficult to trade players they like. In my opinion, it is best to keep the lineup stable and add a little reinforcement.

Think about it, after the Bulls won two consecutive championships, even Jordan seems to have become a public enemy of the league. All the media are looking for his black material and hyping his negative news.

Zhou Quan is not an American. The American media is absolutely unwilling to see him complete three consecutive championships, and the same is true for other teams in the league. "

Nodding his head, Xu Jicheng said, "After winning the championship last year, the media has been slandering Zhou Quan. If Zhou Quan hadn't won the world heavyweight champion and his global reputation has greatly increased, he has no black spots. , will definitely continue to hack him."

At the scene, Zhou Quan, holding two trophies, accepted photos and interviews with the media together with Zeng Li and Zhou Jun.

"Tekken, congratulations! Now I'm wondering, what's your goal for next season?" a New York Times reporter asked.

"Defending the title, of course, is to continue to defend the title. We will strive to hit the three consecutive championships. There is no player who does not desire this achievement, and I am no exception." Zhou Quan said bluntly.

The reporter asked again: "As a team that has won two consecutive championships, I think other teams do not want to see you complete three consecutive championships, so your reinforcements should be very difficult.

And the contracts of many people in your team have expired, and they will become the targets of looting by other teams. What do you think about this? " asked the reporter.

"Our lineup may indeed change. The contracts of many teammates have expired. I hope the management can handle lineup issues carefully. A stable lineup is very important." Zhou Quan said seriously.

"Iron Fist, can you announce the news of the world champion defending now?" At this moment, a Los Angeles Times reporter asked impatiently.

When the other reporters heard this question, their eyes glowed green, and they all focused on Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan laughed, handed the championship trophy in his hand to Rodman, asked him to take a photo, and handed the FMVP trophy to Zeng Li, and then said: "Then let me reveal something, specifically The news of this defending battle will be announced by the promotion company soon.”

"Iron Fist, is the challenger Tyson?" A reporter asked anxiously.

"Do you want me to fight Michael?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.

"Hope, you learned his style of play. You have admitted that you and him have top-notch dodging ability and powerful offense at the same time. The whole world hopes to see you play a game." Another reporter said excitedly.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Actually, I also hope to fight with him, but unfortunately, his boxing matches this year are already full. I heard that Mr. Tang Jin has arranged for him a boxing match worth [-] million yuan. There was no time, so my opponent this time was Holyfield."

"Oh! Isn't it with Tyson?"

"It's not bad to fight a fox!"

"Although Holyfield is in a low period, he is still a top boxing champion in the world. Under normal circumstances, his strength is much stronger than that of McCall."

"The fox's weight is only a few kilograms heavier than the Iron Fist King, and his strength is not much stronger, but the fox's physical fitness is not good, so it should not be as good as the Iron Fist King."

"I bet on Tekken defending his title. His dodge is amazing. I think his dodge has even surpassed Ali and Iron Michael."

The reporters around were excited and started talking about it.

Zhou Quan didn't reveal any other information, and then answered some questions about the NBA, then ended the interview and went to celebrate with his friends.

Back in the locker room, bang bang bang, after a series of bottle opening sounds, the whole locker room became a world of champagne, everyone was sprayed thoroughly, even Ballmer was not spared when he came in.

After celebrating for half an hour, Zhou Quan and the others unpacked their equipment and went to take a shower. By the time they were finished, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Whithit arranged for one of the top nightclubs in Chicago, booked the venue, arranged for the best dancers, and the Sonics would party all night.

The wags and girlfriends will not participate in this celebration. This is the celebration time for the players.

The team arranged a bus to send away a group of family members. The players boarded their own bus, and Zhou Quan sat directly beside Whithit in the front row.

"Iron Fist, what's the matter?" Whithit asked softly.

Zhou Quan nodded slightly, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Bob, the management must have already discussed with Dennis' agent about renewing the contract, right?"

"Yes."

Whithit nodded and said, "He wants a long-term contract, five years, and the total contract amount must reach at least 500 million U.S. dollars."

"The average annual salary is 500 million US dollars, he is worth the price." Zhou Quan said very directly.

Bob Whithit clearly understood Zhou Quan's meaning from Zhou Quan's words, he hesitated and said:
"Iron Fist, he is already 35 years old and will be 36 years old next season, and he has a lot of injuries. If he signs a long-term contract, once he fails, it will take up a lot of space for us."

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "At least he is doing well now, averaging 14.7 rebounds per game in the finals, and you can't find anyone like him except him.

As for the future, I mean, he also played for the team for three years and helped the team win two consecutive championships. He is a meritorious player for the Sonics, and he deserves a veteran contract. "

Having said that, he explained again: "Bob, I don't mean to interfere with your work and responsibilities, but I do hope that the team will treat these meritorious players well.

I also hope to complete my entire career in the Sonics, so I very much hope that this team is a human team, not a purely commercial company. "

Whithit said quickly: "Of course, Iron Fist, you believe me, I'm not rejecting his request, I'm just thinking about it.

Also, I will pass on what you just said to other management, and I will also inform Mr. Ballmer. I believe that the entire management and Mr. Ballmer will not treat the team's meritorious players badly. Of course, I hope you can stay in the team forever. the city. "

"That's what I want to see." Zhou Quan smiled.

The conversation between the two naturally attracted the attention of others. Rodman stood up with a smile and came from behind, bent down and said to Zhou Quan: "Iron Fist, Jerry Krause contacted my agent Manley yesterday."

"What?" Whithit heard it too.

Zhou Quan was taken aback, and said, "Does the Bull want Klaus to be the general manager again?"

"Probably so."

Rodman straightened up and said with a shrug.

Whithit turned his mind a few times at this time, and waved to Rodman, gesturing for him to come over. After Rodman bent down, he whispered in his ear:
"Dennis, I just talked with Iron Fist, and the contract requested by your agent is basically fine."

Rodman opened his mouth with a smile, nodded, stood up straight again, and said with a smile: "I like the girls in Seattle very much."

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan and the others laughed out loud.

Schramf and Gilliam felt a little uneasy. Like Rodman, their contracts have expired. From this point of view, Iron Fist should help Rodman get the contract extension, so what about them?
Both of them have won two championships, and they are both main players, so they both want a big contract, and they both want to stay in the team.

Because of the Iron Fist, the Sonics are the most popular team in the NBA, and their popularity has already surpassed the Bulls by a large margin. If they stay in the team, they can continue to get attention.In the past two years, they have also obtained a lot of commercial benefits.

But the team's salary space is limited, and the salary cap is pressing on it, unless the owner is willing to give them a veteran contract.

Moreover, their relationship with Iron Fist is not as deep as Rodman, and it is impossible for Iron Fist to negotiate with the management for them.

"Oh hoo!"

"Ha ha……"

"Beauties, here I come!"

When everyone came to the nightclub and saw the enchanting dancing postures of the dancers, they all howled like wild animals with excitement.

Zhou Quan went to the bar to find the bartender and asked for a glass of the so-called "Red Lip Flame". After drinking it, it was indeed like a fire, and his whole body suddenly became energetic.

After sitting down, he turned on the system while enjoying the dance.

"Congratulations to the host for defending the title and winning the regular season MVP, as well as the titles of scoring champion, assists champion, and steals champion.

Task rewards, under the premise of weight +5 kg, the three sports qualities of speed, bounce, and agility remain unchanged.

Tip: After gaining weight, the body fat percentage of the current host cannot be increased. "

He understands the meaning of the system, which is to gain muscle, not fat. He will definitely not have the opportunity to gain muscle this offseason. Muscle gain consumes a lot of energy and can only be done during the regular season next season.Fortunately, it is only 5 kilograms, so it is not very difficult, and it can be done in two or three months.

In addition, he has another consideration, whether his weight gain to 97 kg will affect his health.

This tonnage is still considered light in the heavyweight category. In the general heavyweight category, a person with a height of 188 centimeters must definitely weigh more than 100 kilograms. Tyson is only 178 centimeters and weighs 100 kilograms.

But his main sport is basketball. With a tonnage of 97 kilograms, compared to a point guard, that is not heavy, but ridiculously heavy.

A point guard needs to run fast, change direction repeatedly, run long distances, and with such a large weight, can he persist?

He decided to talk to his personal trainer, Hughes Swildon, about the issue.

After playing in the nightclub until the morning and returning to the hotel to sleep for a few hours, the supersonic boarded the plane back to Seattle at noon and arrived at the Seattle airport in the evening.

Seattle will continue to celebrate for the next three days, with many activities arranged, the city government and a large number of fans will participate, and fans from the entire Seattle metropolitan area will also rush to the city to participate in the celebration.
