God of NBA point guards

Chapter 174 Home Run

Los Angeles Journal: "Iron Fist Slayer, Newcomer to Golf and Boxing."

The New York Times reported: "It's just a show, Tekken should prove its professional cross-border strength through professional competitions."

The next day, September 9, many media rushed to report.

And Zhou Quan, from this day on, continued to put his energy into strength training and basketball training.

No matter how much the media doubts his professional level in the other three sports, he has already benefited. The sales of Iron Fist generation can now be maintained at around [-] US dollars a day. If two to three thousand pairs of shoes can be sold every day, His sales mission will not be a problem at all.

Having tasted the benefits of crossing borders, he has decided in his heart that he will spare a certain amount of time in the future to continue boxing training and golf training.

Neither sport requires a lot of game time, suits him well, and won't affect the NBA game.

In the following period of time, even the Chinese media reprinted some relevant foreign reports.

Zhou Quan's name, for the first time, came into the sight of the high-level officials of the Sports Commission because of the reprinted reports by the domestic media.

In a subsequent mid-to-high-level meeting, someone mentioned Zhou Quan, so there were some discussions.

"The performance of the men's basketball team in the Olympics this time is really, alas! This Zhou Quan heard that he played in the NBA, and the American Dream Team is also full of NBA stars. You said that Zhou Quan played with them, his How is the strength?"

"There are reports from foreign media that he is still the leader of the Detroit Pistons. The leader should be the captain. Based on this analysis, he should be capable."

"Compared with Wu Qinglong and Adi Jiang?"

"It's hard to compare. Look at those guys in the NBA. They all fly to the sky and dunk at every turn. Who knows what kind of strength this Zhou Quan has? He knows four sports. I think his strength should be average, and his energy is too scattered."

"Your analysis should be reliable. I think he's just a bastard, an athlete like panacea, not reliable."

"No matter how strong he is, at least he is playing in the NBA. We lost so badly this time, shouldn't we learn more about the outside world? We can just start with him."

"Analyzing from foreign media reports, Zhou Quan's nickname is Detroit Killer King, Iron Fist Slayer. He should be an overseas student from China, but he didn't come from a sports school. We don't have his file."

"The nickname is so cruel, it can't really be a murderer, a criminal who absconded?"

"Of course not. Didn't the foreign media say that he is a Chinese student from UCLA. UCLA is a university in Los Angeles and is quite famous."

"That doesn't prove that he is not an absconded criminal?"

"That's true."

"I want to find a way to contact him and find out about his situation first. Do you have any channels? He is mainly engaged in basketball now. Comrade Liu Yumin from the basketball department should think of a way."

"It seems a bit familiar, where have you seen it?"

Liu Yumin was recalling carefully at the moment, and there was a newspaper in his hand with Zhou Quan's photo on it.

The last time CCTV broadcasted Zhou Quan's highlights, she was busy with the Olympics and didn't notice. After learning about Zhou Quan this time, she went to CCTV to ask for those highlights, and she always felt impressed.

……

On September 9th, Comrade Zhang Lili, who was selling beer everywhere, had just returned to his narrow apartment after a day of running around. The landlord downstairs asked him to answer the phone, and he hurried down again.

"Hello..." He picked up the phone.

"Is it Comrade Zhang Lili?"

Opposite is a woman, speaking Mandarin.

"I am Zhang Lili, and you are..."

"Old Zhang, I'm Liu Yumin!"

"Liu, oh, oh, Liu Chu, how did you find my phone number?" Zhang Lili didn't react at first, and it took a few seconds to react.

Liu Yumin and him are the same age. He was a member of the national men's basketball team, and Liu Yumin was a member of the national women's basketball team. They are old acquaintances, or old friends.

Later, he retired to become the coach of the Capital Youth Team. Liu Yumin joined the Basketball Division of the Sports Commission in 78 and chose a different direction of development.

But he has accomplished nothing now. He is now the director of the basketball department, in charge of domestic basketball affairs, so he is a little cautious when he receives this call.

However, he still knows this old friend. He has no bureaucratic style, treats his subordinates and friends very kindly, and has a good reputation in the domestic basketball circle.

Last time he contacted a former colleague of the capital team and asked him to recommend Zhou Quan to the basketball office. He also considered Liu Yumin, but he had been in the United States for many years and did not have Liu Yumin's contact information. I had great concerns, so I didn't find a way to contact Liu Yumin.

But he and Liu Yumin have not been in touch for many years, and he just moved to Los Angeles. Except for his parents, almost no one in China knows his contact information. This old friend can find him, he should go to his house.

Sure enough, Liu Yumin said: "I went to Tsinghua University yesterday, and your father, Professor Zhang, gave me your contact number. Lao Zhang, you should call me Lao Liu, that's how you greeted me before. We have known each other for decades, so What are you doing?"

"Yes, I'd better call you Chu Liu, it's more comfortable to call me that way." Zhang Lili said awkwardly.

"Come on, the ocean line is too expensive, I don't have time to talk about it, call it whatever you like. Lao Zhang, this time I want to ask you for someone." Liu Yumin said.

"You say."

"Zhou Chuan, maybe it's called Zhou Quan, but I don't know the word for it..."

Before Liu Yumin finished speaking, Zhang Lili yelled: "Oh, I know, I know, you are looking for him, right? His name is Zhou Quan, the right of power."

"Okay, it seems that I found the right person. Old Zhang, do you know his details?" Liu Yumin asked happily.

"I have met him several times, and he invited me to watch his boxing match a few days ago. I don't know much about his situation in China, but I know more about his situation in the United States." Zhang Lili said.

"Okay, just tell me about his current situation." Liu Yumin said.

Zhang Lili said: "He is from Hunan. His father is a cadre of the Changsha Forestry Bureau. He didn't come from a sports school. He is very smart. After graduating from high school, he took the TOEFL test and then studied abroad. This young man is very aggressive..."

After talking for more than ten minutes, the two ended the call.

Zhang Lili immediately contacted Zhou Quan: "Xiao Zhou, the basketball department contacted me just now, Liu Yumin, the director of the basketball department, the leader, this is a good thing!"

Knowing what the director of the basketball department does, Zhou Quan, the head of the domestic basketball industry, asked, "He asked you to go back as a coach?"

"Ham, they are not looking for me, they are looking for you. She couldn't find you, so she came to me." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Looking for me? They know me?" Zhou Quan was a little surprised.

"This boxing match has attracted a lot of attention. It is probably because of this that they know about you. Xiao Zhou, maybe they want to recruit you. I gave her your contact information, and she should contact you. By the way, she is The woman is about the same age as me, and she is an old-fashioned old women's basketball team in our domestic basketball circle, so be careful with your tone of voice." Zhang Lili said.

"Female director? Okay, I see." Zhou Quan said.

In China, Liu Yumin sorted out the information about Zhou Quan provided by Zhang Reasonable, and then began to analyze Zhou Quan's situation.

The possibility of the absconding criminals that his colleagues mentioned must not exist. Zhang Lili said that this was just a nickname given to Zhou Quan by the media, and Zhou Quan was a self-financed student studying in the United States through formal channels.

In terms of strength, she was a little surprised, because Zhang Lili said that Zhou Quan's strength is currently at the level of a first-class point guard in the NBA. Whether it is Wu Qinglong or Adi Jiang, Zhang Lili clearly said that they are not as good as Zhou Quan.

Moreover, Zhang Lili also made a comparison. In the NBA Eastern Conference finals in the past few months, Zhou Quan played against Michael Jordan and got 20+10 data.

She knew Michael Jordan, the star of the American Dream Team who was very brilliant in the Olympics, was very strong in offense and defense, so if Zhang Lili didn't lie, Zhou Quan's strength should indeed be very good.

She suddenly thought of Ma Jian. Ma Jian had already broken up with Chu Li, quit the national team, and went to the United States. With Ma Jian's strength, does he have a chance to join the NBA?
She decided to take another look, maybe she should go out and investigate Zhou Quan.

The performance of the men's basketball team in the Olympics was too poor. It's not that the players didn't work hard, but that the difference in strength was really too great, and the confidence of the players was shattered.

If the next year's World Championships were to go down like this again, she wouldn't be able to continue her job, so she could only take the blame and resign and give up her position to others.

This made her very unwilling, so after some consideration, she made up her mind that if Zhou Quan was really capable, she would recruit him.

But how to recruit, there is no precedent to follow, because no one in the country has gone out to play, and more importantly, Zhou Quan is not born in the system, not an athlete trained by the state, and the sports committee has no jurisdiction over Zhou Quan.

In addition, just now Zhang Lili told her that he had asked his former colleagues from the capital team to recommend Zhou Quan to the office, but she didn't know about it.

She has only been the director of the basketball department for one year. When she was the deputy director, she has been in charge of basketball in the capital city since 90, and she has been in charge of it now. Zhang Lili, who has not been in touch for many years, does not know this situation, otherwise It was able to know Zhou Quan, a young man, in advance.

……

At the end of September, Zhou Quan completed another round of shooting training.

The step-back jumper has been upgraded to level 89, and the emergency stop jumper has been upgraded to level 92. You can also complete two rounds and one round respectively.

In addition, his strength training has finally been completed. Since the end of November last year, it took nearly a year, and his weight has been reduced from 11 kg to 95 kg.

His upper body muscles are softer, more explosive, and his coordination and agility are better than a month ago.

The overall strength remains at 86. The absolute strength of the upper body is further weakened, but the strength of the core and lower body is further strengthened.

However, this kilogram of weight change did not increase his jumping, speed, and agility data, but his physical measurement data also improved.

The speed is faster than a month ago, and the height of the vertical jump, jumping, and running has also increased by one centimeter.

In addition, the increase in speed has further improved his breakthrough technique, which is now level 90, reaching a first-class breakthrough level.

Six basic breakthrough techniques, one-handed feint breakthrough 90, feint frontal change 87, cross step frontal change 86, feint turn 90, accelerated stride 92, rolling breakthrough 95 .

The rolling breakthrough has dropped from level 96 to level 95. This should be due to the reduction in tonnage. Fortunately, the strength has not decreased, so it has only been reduced by one level.

The one-handed feint breakthrough has reached a first-class level, which makes his breakthrough ability in fast ball-holding advancement even stronger.

The improvement of the breakthrough ability has also improved the offensive ability. It was originally level 85, but now it has been upgraded to level 87, which is an increase of two levels at a time.

"Offensive upgrade to two levels? It should be that the offensive ability to score breakthrough layups is stronger. That is to say, I will increase breakthrough scores in the future."

He estimates that after completing one or two rounds of emergency stop jumpers and step-back jumpers, his offensive ability will improve. If he can be upgraded to level 90, then his offensive efficiency should be significantly improved compared to last season, and he should not be caught again. People say it's inefficient.

In addition to these improvements, the dunk at level 88 has been upgraded two levels this time, reaching level 90, which is considered a first-class dunk player.

The time has entered October, the new NBA season is gradually approaching, and the preseason is about to start.

The NBA season runs from October to June of the following year, and lasts eight months from the preseason to the playoffs. Contrary to the NBA, the Major League Baseball season starts from March each year, and the regular season runs from April to October. The season will enter the playoffs in October, so the new season of the NBA is about to start, and MLB has also entered the most intense playoff stage.

On the night of October [-]st, Zhou Quan watched an MLB playoff game, which was the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers.

In the city of Los Angeles, unlike other cities in the United States, the NBA's Lakers team dominates and has the most fans. Whether it is the most popular football or baseball in the United States, it is not as good as basketball.

As the boss of the Pistons and a star who has received a lot of attention recently, his appearance was welcomed and he was invited to the court by the host.

"Iron Fist, I heard that Michael Jordan has issued a challenge letter to you, and wants to compete with you on the baseball field?" the host asked.

Zhou Kwon smiled and said: "He said that, but I don't think he has a chance to join MLB."

"According to the current information, you are good at basketball, ice hockey, golf, and boxing. Apart from basketball and ice hockey, the other two have even reached a professional level. Then have you ever played baseball?"

"Played at UCLA."

"Have you played many sports?"

"Of course, my interests in sports are very broad and I want to try everything."

"Would you like to try it tonight?"

"Of course I want to, but how?"

The host laughed: "What do you like to do on the baseball field?"

"Hit the ball."

He said without hesitation.

"OK, then let's play and let us see your batting skills. What do you think?" the host asked loudly facing the audience.

"Oh hoo!"

The audience's reaction was good, and there were cheers. They all knew that Zhou Quan was a cross-border madman, and they also wanted to know how Zhou Quan's baseball skills were.

Next, under the arrangement of the host, the Dodgers sent a pitcher.

"Angie, don't hold your hand so he can't touch your ball."

"Angie, be serious."

"I know."

The Dodgers reminded pitcher Angie, and Angie reassured them.

A pitcher is the soul of a baseball team. If he is humiliated by an amateur, the morale of the team will be hit. Personally, he can't even handle an amateur. How can he be in the MLB league in the future?
"Hey bro, what's your name?"

"You can call me Angie."

"Hey, Angie, don't throw it too fast, I can't catch it."

"Haha, Iron Fist, I won't show mercy. I won't let you steal my job."

Zhou Quan and Anji greeted each other with a smile, and then started to put on the protective gear.

After wearing it neatly, he greeted the fans and walked onto the field again amid applause.

The host only arranged for one pitcher, and there was no one else on the defensive side. The two were singled out, and they were just playing.

"I bet he can't touch the ball with his bat."

"No, I bet he hits a home run."

"Ha ha……"

This game is broadcast live across the United States, the two ABC TV station commentators said with a smile.

"This guy is on the show again, do you really think he is omnipotent? Damn cross-border madman!"

Michael Jordan, who had already returned to Chicago, just turned on the TV, tuned to the ABC Sports Channel, and arrived at Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan was ready, holding sticks in both hands, and staring closely at Anji.

Judging from Angie's attitude, there is a high probability that the ball will not be released. He is 100% prepared and has a high degree of concentration.

He doesn't know this Angie, but he can be sure that Angie is not a star player, so his strength must be mediocre.

"Whoosh!"

Angie threw it with all his strength, and the ball flew straight to Zhou Quan like a meteor. The height was a bit low, but it was a good ball.

"Ding!"

In the next moment, the nerve reaction was super fast, and the first-class precision hit broke out. Zhou Quan struggled to swing the club. Amid the crisp impact sound, the club head accurately hit the ball, and the ball flew high and flew to the right. wild.

"Oh!"

Countless fans at the scene looked up at the ball flying into the night sky, watched the small ball fly over the protective net and fell into the audience, and they exclaimed suddenly.

"Home run! Wooden run..."

The roar of the live commentator sounded immediately.

"God, Iron Fist is really a cross-border madman, does his baseball have professional standards? Or is it just a coincidence?"

Another narrator said in an unbelievable tone.

"boom!"

After the fans reacted, there was a whirlwind of cheers at the scene.

Angie was stunned, this damn Iron Fist actually scored a home run on his head?

"It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"

In front of the TV, Jordan murmured.

Unconvinced, Angie made another shot. This time it was a slow ball. Zhou Quan was fooled by his inexperience, messed up his rhythm, and failed to catch it.

Next, Zhou Quan, as a guest of the Tigers, sat on their bench and watched the game. In the end, the Tigers won the game.
