God of NBA point guards

Chapter 613 The Second Dynasty

At this time, Corey Maggette ran into a small space in the mid-range position on the right wing. He took a pass from Zhou Quan and took a shot, but missed and the Kings grabbed the rebound.

The Kings played a fast break, and Michael Bibby quickly advanced to the frontcourt. When Zhou Quan came up, he quickly released the ball and passed it to shooting guard Doug Christie who was cutting toward the basket on the right wing. Corey Maggette was one step behind.

Zhou Quan turned around and rushed towards the basket, adjusting his steps and preparing to block the shot.

Doug Christie, who came in from the right waist with the ball, suddenly passed the ball to the high post.

Michael Bibby, who was left behind by Zhou Quan, stopped in a high position and caught the ball with both hands. He was about to take off and take a shot. With a squeak, Big Ben appeared from behind and slapped him in the face. He was shocked. If it weren't for his React quickly and the ball has been knocked away.

At this time, Divac entered the paint area. Ben Wallace and Zhou Quan had no chance to exchange. Divac turned around after approaching Zhou Quan, stretched out his arms, and stuck Zhou Quan behind him. Michael Bibby did not hesitate. Hesitantly dropped the ball.

"Misplacement! The point guard defends the center." Zhang Liangli frowned.

"Snapped!"

Divac didn't pause after receiving the ball. He turned left and pushed his left elbow into position. As he stepped forward, he held the ball in his right hand and dunked.

But his left elbow hit the air. Just as he was taking off, Zhou Quan, who leaned down to avoid his left elbow, swelled up, and accurately probed with his right hand. There was a "pop", and the basketball he was holding in his right hand Knocked out.

Zhou Quan's dodge ability is so strong that even the world boxing champion can't hit him easily. How can Divac's elbow hit him?
While dodging, he still relied on his powerful vision function to lock the movement trajectory of the basketball, so he could steal the ball easily.

If it were anyone else, they would not know where the ball is when dodging. It would be impossible to intercept the ball, and they would only be dunked.

"what?"

Divac was startled. When he lowered his head, Zhou Quan had already caught the ball in his hands and started to play quickly.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Lili exclaimed excitedly.

"Awesome! The Iron Fist King misplaced his defense and stole Divac." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Michael Bibby returned to defense from the top of the arc, always ahead of Zhou Quan. When Zhou Quan was about to reach the top of the arc, he swayed left and right. There was no one within two meters nearby, and he immediately made an emergency stop at the top of the arc.

"not good!"

Bibby, who had already reached the free throw line, could only watch Zhou Quan take action, with no chance to defend him.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan took off calmly and hit an open three-pointer.

John Moore shook his head and said: "You must not leave the Iron Fist King open, not even small openings. The reason why his shooting percentage is so high is because he shoots well.

His shooting action is the most standard in the league, a textbook standard. It is common for him to make [-] out of [-] shots from small openings. "

James Worthy said: "When he first entered the league in 91, his ability to break through with the ball was very good. It was not one or two techniques, but he was good at various breakthrough techniques.

Because of this, his ability to break through with the ball is very strong and he is very difficult to defend. In his rookie season, Jordan had a headache with his breakthrough with the ball.

Precisely because of his strong ability to break through with the ball, he is also very capable of getting rid of defenders. He often gets open opportunities and scores easily.

To guard against him, you must be like Kobe, always holding his jersey with one hand, and making various small and foul defensive moves to prevent the Iron Fist King from protruding and giving him no space. "

John Moore laughed and said: "Kobe only defends like that at his home court. How about you defend like that at the home court of King of Iron Fist? You will have six fouls in halftime."

4:8, Kings attack.

The next game slowly entered the supersonic rhythm.

Although the Kings' offense and defense are good, the SuperSonics' offense and defense are better. Under the leadership of Zhou Quan and Big Ben, and with the cheering of 13 home fans, they can play their own offensive rhythm and rely on their own strength. The defense gradually began to suppress the Kings' offense, leading by 18 points at halftime. In the end, the Kings beat the Kings by 1 points and won the G[-] game.

周权轻取38分6篮板15助攻7抢断4盖帽的数据，只差一个盖帽又是一次5*5。

He had 5 steals and 2 blocks from defense and assist defense, and only stole and blocked Michael Bibby twice each.

This is not because Bibby is so good, but because of the Kings' style of play. Michael Bibby plays the ball as soon as he reaches the frontcourt with the ball, and rarely attacks with the ball in front of Zhou Quan.

迈克尔毕比在前两轮系列赛中打出了场均20分5助攻的数据，44.4%的命中率，但今晚的比赛只拿到了4分1助攻，9投2中，命中率只有22.2%。

On May 5, the Eastern Conference Finals began, with the Nets facing off against the Celtics at home.

The Green Team still reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 88, but it has not been in the Eastern Conference Finals for 13 years.

The team now has two generals, Paul Pierce and Anthony Walker, both All-Stars who averaged 20+ per game in the regular season and playoffs. However, the lineup is average and they can reach the Eastern Conference Finals. The more reason is that the Eastern Conference is too weak. In the West, it's hard to even get into the second round.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Green Team at home and won the first game.

On the 20th, the SuperSonics won the G2 game at home and then moved to the away game.

On the 21st, the Green Team defeated the Nets on the road and tied the Eastern Conference Finals at one to one.

The series continued after that, and in the end the Sonics completed a sweep of the Kings, while the Nets eliminated the Green Team with a score of four to two.

The finals will start on June 6. Regarding this finals, the media's views are very consistent, and the fans' views are also very consistent with the media. That is, the SuperSonics have a 3% chance of winning the championship again after last season. .

Although the Nets are first in the Eastern Conference, no one scored 20+ points in the regular season. Three people scored in double figures, and three more scored nine points. Their scoring ability is not weak, but it is not strong either. They rank only in the Eastern Conference. Fifth, averaging 96.2 points per game.

To put it simply, the team does not have a superstar scorer on the offensive end, and there is no one who can attack the city. Kenyon Martin, the first scoring point, only averages 14.9 points per game, and Kidd, the second scoring point, averages 14.8 points per game.

On the defensive end, they averaged 92 points per game, fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is not very good.

Moreover, the Nets rely on Kidd to support both offense and defense. No one can guarantee what kind of performance Kidd can perform under the defense of Iron Fist King Zhou Quan.

In the finals, such a team will face the SuperSonics, which is the best in the league in offense and defense. The SuperSonics, which won 74 games in the regular season, is even the strongest team in the history of the league. Being swept is the most likely outcome.

Charles Barkley is out again, this time not in a blog post but in an interview with the Houston Chronicle .

He said sourly and bitterly: "Basically there is no power to stop the SuperSonics from winning the sixth championship. They will create a second three-peat dynasty, and the Iron Fist King will win the seventh championship.

But I think the gold content of this championship and the second dynasty is far less than the first three consecutive championship dynasty. They won the championship too easily, which greatly reduced the gold content of the championship.

What follows is an unsuspicious and competitive finals. I will not go to watch the game. The finals have no appeal to me. "Charles, you idiot, do you know what you said?" "

Barkley's interview made the headlines in the Chronicle's sports section the next day, and Kenny Smith immediately called and cursed.

"What, what?" Barkley was stunned by the scolding. Kenny Smith's tone was not a joke, he could tell.

"You idiot, you are inciting fans not to watch the Finals. What does the league think of you? What does the TV station think of you? Do you still want a job? Damn it, Charles, don't make me lose this job again." Ken Nismith continued to curse angrily.

After Kenny Smith cursed, Jordan also called and cursed, and then other friends.

Whether they are active or retired, everyone relies on the NBA for their livelihood. Barkley can be said to have caused public outrage.

"Michael, are you still scolding me? What qualifications do you have to scold me? In order to support you, I had a falling out with Iron Fist. Otherwise, how could I have lost the championship? But then you became friends with him, so I guess What?"

"Charles, you can't blame me. I didn't stop you from hugging his thigh."

"You bastard! I have such a bad relationship with him, how can I embrace... how can I go to the SuperSonics? Also, Michael, you said you wanted me to join the Bulls, but you let me go and chose Mutombo. This time I haven’t settled the debt with you yet.”

"Well, Charles, that's all in the past. Forget it, let the past take its course."

"Shet, I can forget about your past!"

"Damn fat man, why are you scolding me?"

"Damn Donkey, I'll beat you up even when we meet."

"What did you call me?"

"Donkey's balls are donkey's balls. Do you want to listen to me again?"

Barkley was so angry that he and Jordan had a fight on the phone.

In New York, David Stern is a little annoyed.

He also saw the news about Barkley, and he felt even worse when he thought that the ratings of the Western Conference Finals were far lower than the second-round series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers.

It is conceivable that the ratings of the upcoming finals will not be very good, and this idiot Barkley is still pouring cold water on the finals. Does this idiot not want to eat this bowl of rice?

"The east is weak and the west is strong, the east is weak and the west is strong..."

He made the decision that starting from this year's draft, he would favor Eastern teams and pull out a few strong teams in the Eastern Conference.

It's a pity that this year's draft situation is not ideal. There are no good rookies in the draft, and it is basically a bad year.

On June 6, thirteen teams that did not participate in the playoffs gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York for the 1 draft lottery.

As a result, the Bulls got lucky and won the No. [-] pick.

The Bulls only have 28 wins this season, but they are better than the previous two seasons. Their record ranks last in the Eastern Conference and tied for fourth last in the league and Mosaic. The chance of winning the No. [-] pick is very small.

Mosaic also had good luck. He had the same record as the Bulls and won the second pick.

On June 2002, 6, the finals began.

In the G1 game, Zhou Quan only scored 32 points, but sent 24 assists, setting the latest assist record in a single game in the finals.

What he broke was his own record with 22 assists. That time he broke Magic Johnson's historical record of 21 times.

Next, the SuperSonics continued their winning streak and completed a sweep of the Nets on the night of the 9th, winning their sixth championship and their second three consecutive championships.

Zhou Quan also won his second three-consecutive championship dynasty and the seventh championship in his career, pushing his NBA career achievements to another peak, which can be called a god's height.

However, as Barkley said, the attention of the Finals is indeed average. The average viewership per game is only 2350 million, which is not even as good as the 2720 million of the Western Conference Finals, and even worse than the second round of the Lakers and SuperSonics, which was as high as 3550 million. .

But after the finals, both the SuperSonics and Zhou Quan received incomparable praise. The unmatched victory and the second three-consecutive championship dynasty without opponents did not reduce the fans and the media's expectations of the SuperSonics. Recognition of Zhou Quan's strength.

"The great Iron Fist king has made the great Sonics, and the Iron Fist era will continue to move forward!" Seattle Times.

"The second three-peat dynasty, this is our era, the era of the point guard god." Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

"From the 90s to the [-]s, it was the era of Iron Fist King's hegemony. He made the SuperSonics the only super team of this era, and he was the only symbol of this era." Los Angeles Times.

"With seven crowns and two dynasties, the Iron Fist King's career achievements have surpassed that of Russell, the King of the Ring." Detroit Worker Daily.

"If the opponent is stronger, the gold content of King of Iron Fist's championship will be higher. If King of Iron Fist wants to reach the height of King of the Ring, the current record is not enough. Not to mention eight consecutive championships, at least six consecutive championships." New York Times .

"To become the god of basketball, the Iron Fist King must at least surpass Russell's eight consecutive championships." Associated Press.

At noon on the 10th, on the special plane returning to Xiyatiantu, Zhou Quan flipped through a stack of newspapers.

There are sincere praises, and there are also sour news that belittles him like the New York Times and the Associated Press. Now his state of mind has long been tempered like an ancient well, and he casually flipped through it and put it aside.

According to his own opinion, his career achievements of seven championships and two dynasties can at least be equal to Russell's, not losing even one point.

In Russell's era, the NBA had only eight teams at its lowest and 18 at its highest. The competitiveness and intensity were far less than they are now, and the players' physical fitness was not as good as it is now.

However, everywhere there is a rule of respecting seniors. Seniors have laid the foundation, and newcomers have no reason to belittle their seniors. Therefore, every time the media asks relevant questions, he avoids answering or lets the media make their own evaluations.

As for the attitude of the New York Times and the Associated Press, it can only explain one problem. As a Chinese, if you want to surpass Americans in the United States, you must reach a height where everyone can shut up, otherwise someone will definitely doubt you.

After the finals, last night he had fulfilled his promise to his teammates and gave each of them a high-end men's watch that he had prepared long ago.

He also knows that many people from this team will definitely want to leave next, whether it is a trade or leaving as a free agent, which is understandable.

Once there is a championship, many people will have more than one. What these people will pursue will be team status, playing time, main position, long-term contracts, business income, etc. Staying in the SuperSonics no longer means much to them. , will only continue to serve as his foil, and no matter who it is, they can only be hidden under his starlight.

Even if Ben leaves, he won't be surprised, because Ben's second contract is not that big. As a blue-collar center, the Sonics can't offer Ben a big contract.

Ben still has one year of contract left, and he hopes that Ben will stay. However, unless the Sonics promise to pay tens of millions of annual salary in the next contract and at least a five-year contract, the chance of Ben staying is very small.
