God of NBA point guards

Chapter 417 The league's first free throw rate
At this time, Barkley, Dameng, and Ewing came to the locker room of the home team to visit Michael Jordan.

After staying inside for half a minute, Jordan accompanied them out.

"Michael, can you pull it back?" Barkley asked.

Jordan was a little silent. After all, he was one-to-three behind. The chance of getting back was too small, so small that it had never happened in the history of the league. If he insisted that he could get back, but he didn't, he would be ridiculed by these guys in the future .

"Michael, we are brothers, how about I help you?" Barkley said suddenly.

"You?" Jordan was taken aback.

In Barkley's current state, to be honest, his shooting percentage is below [-]%. As a power forward, he actually doesn't like this efficiency, and his efficiency is not as good as that of Gilliam and Matt Geiger of the Supersonics.

"What do you mean?"

Barkley was very upset when he saw Jordan's hesitant expression.

Jordan reacted and said hurriedly: "It's nothing. We have a lot of internal problems now. You know, it's quite troublesome. Charles, let's take a chance. I hope you can help me too."

Only then did Barkley become happy, nodded and smiled: "We are brothers, we will fight Tekken together, and we will play brother basketball."

Both Dameng and Ewing were moved. There are not many people who can make them put down their airs and go for refuge. It is either Jordan or Iron Fist. In comparison, of course they are only willing to vote for Jordan.

It's just that Barkley, the stinky shameless person, said it first, and they were embarrassed to speak again. The Bulls can't tolerate so many big contracts, and they can't trade at all.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Sonics: Almon Gilliam, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Joo Won
Bulls: Kevin Willis, Luc Longley, Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper
Larry Bird said: "After the two-game losing streak in the away game, a series of problems have arisen within the Bulls. The victory in the G3 game only delayed the rout. The defeat in the G4 game brought these problems to the surface again. Large damage to the bull's combat effectiveness.

Magic Johnson frowned and said, "Larry, shouldn't it be a rout? Michael's scoring average is also 30+, slightly lower than Iron Fist."

Larry Bird said with a grin: "If there were no extreme Bulls fans before G3, the Sonics might not have lost that game. If they still lost in G4 and were swept away, what is it not a rout?
As for Michael Jordan's stats, that's just personal performance and has nothing to do with whether the series is a rout. "

"..."

The magician opened his mouth, speechless.

In the player channel, the two teams started to meet.

Jordan stared at Zhou Quan. Several seasons had passed. He suffered too much under the hands of this Chinese. Without this guy, his career would definitely be different from what it is now. He would have won three consecutive championships, or even four. Five consecutive championships.

But he has to admit that this Chinese is really strong.Not only strong, but also stable.Not only stable, but also one or even two outbreaks from time to time.

If it wasn't for him being such a person himself, he would have suspected Zhou Quan of taking drugs.

"What are you practicing?" He suddenly asked.

"what?"

With a nerve reaction speed of level 96, Zhou Quan didn't react.

"It's the one you played during the All-Star appearance." Jordan reminded, and made a Tai Chi push hand.

"That's called Tai Chi." Zhou Quan said.

"How to learn?" Jordan asked honestly.

"You'd better go learn Zen meditation with the Zen master. The way the Japanese play is more suitable for you. Our Chinese things are too advanced and belong to philosophy, so you can't understand them." Zhou Quan laughed.

Jordan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Then the visiting team received huge boos at home. When Zhou Quan played, the boos reached its peak.

However, there was also a lot of applause mixed with boos. In addition to the [-] Sonics fans, there were also some Chinese and foreign students, and some of them were his personal fans.

"Hey, Larry, the supersonic speed seems to be normal today?"

Seeing that Schramf and Hawkins missed shots one after another during the warm-up, and Zhou Quan also missed a few shots, Magic Johnson said.

Larry Bird smiled and said, "Maybe it's because we won the match point and the championship is about to be won. I was too excited and didn't sleep well?"

"It's possible, then the bull's chance has come." The magician said immediately.

"The Bulls have a lot of internal problems, which may also affect their state. In this critical game, you know, Ervin, players who can play at a normal level can only count on those big hearts." Larry Byrd said.

"Michael, and Iron Fist?"

At 08:30, the game officially started.

Jump ball, Bulls attack.

"I don't know how Zhou Quan slept these two nights? I hope he slept well." Zhang Reasonable sighed.

"He never answered this question, so the media doesn't seem to ask much now." Xu Jicheng said.

"Looking at their warm-up state just now, I'm a little worried!" Zhang Lili said.

"It doesn't matter, if you can't win, go back to the home court, haha!" Xu Jicheng said.

"boom!"

Facing Schramf's defense, Pippen missed a shot and Rodman protected the backcourt rebound, but Willis blocked his fast pass.

"Just now Zhou Quan followed Jordan very closely. Jordan didn't run out to catch the ball, and Pippen shot against the defense. In fact, Pippen's ability to hold the ball is not strong. He should play more patiently. " Zhang Lili said.

Xu Jicheng said: "The introduction of Kevin Willis is to increase the low-post offense, contain the Sonics' defense in the low post, and compress more space for the outside line.

But Willis' state is far worse than last season. The deal made by Phil Jackson did fail and did not achieve results. "

At this time, Zhou Quan advanced to the top of the arc, Jordan matched up, put a step forward to defend, and did not press.

"Originally Phil Jackson used Ron Harper to defend against Zhou Quan, but it didn't work, and now it has changed." Zhang Lili said.

At this moment, Zhou Quan's attack began.

False sudden shot, after the trial step, regardless of whether Jordan was shaken or not, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Jordan was indeed shaken for a while, and after realizing it, he took a step to block the block, but it was too late, his palm only reached Zhou Quan's elbow, and Zhou Quan's ball had already been shot.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, he didn't win either.

Luke Langley grabbed the rebound and handed it to Jordan who wanted the ball from the high post.

Jordan passed to Ron Harper, turned his head and ran to the frontcourt, and wanted the ball as soon as he crossed the center line, Ron Harper quickly passed it.

Jordan is one step away from Zhou Quan. He is facing the right wing sideways, with his right hand behind to ask for the ball. His right hand is three meters away from Zhou Quan, which is very safe.

Just when Jordan wanted the ball, Zhou Quan, who was stepping forward and was retreating, immediately raised his attention, and his retreating left foot paused.

And at the moment Ron Harper made the pass, Zhou Quan's attention was instantly concentrated to the extreme, his nerves were tense in an instant, his body began to bend down, and he was ready to grab the ball immediately.

And at the moment Ron Harper pushed the ball out, Zhou Quan's back (left) foot kicked suddenly, and the whole person sprang out like a leopard, and rushed in front of Jordan.

The basketball left Ron Harper's hands as the first step landed.

"Iron Fist?"

Jordan was about to catch the ball, when something suddenly invaded his field of vision from the corner of his left eye at high speed, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly took a step forward to catch the ball, but at this moment, Zhou Quan's second step landed.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan stretched his right hand forward, intercepted the basketball very accurately, then swept past Jordan, and rushed to the front court.

"The ball has been stolen! Zhou Quan has stolen the ball!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Oh hoo!"

Two thousand Supersonic fans, a large number of Zhou Quan's personal fans, and celebrities sitting on the sidelines cheered and applauded.

"boom!"

With a tomahawk dunk, Zhou Quan blasted the Bulls' basket.

At this time in the capital, at the men's basketball training base of Qinghua University, a group of men's basketball members Hu Weidong and a group of women's basketball members Zheng Haixia are watching the game.

"Sister Zheng, after the Olympics, you are going to play in Los Angeles. Iron Fist is very influential in Los Angeles. Please ask him to take care of you." Hu Weidong said.

Zheng Haixia smiled and said, "He doesn't play in Los Angeles, isn't it convenient?"

Only 19 years old, Wang Zhizhi, who was selected for the national team for the first time, said worriedly: "The day before yesterday, Brother Zhou said that we will compete for the top three this time. Yesterday and today, the domestic media are hyping up this matter. There is a lot of pressure!"

"What are you worried about as a young man? Even if the sky falls, won't you be tall enough to hold it up?" Gong Xiaobing said.

"Isn't it just tall?" Liu Yudong teased.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Hu Weidong asked with a smile at this time: "There is Iron Fist in the front and Sister Zheng in the back. Don't you have any ideas?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, most of them shook their heads, but the youngest Dazhi and 21-year-old Bart had yearning looks on their faces.

"We all know that, we don't have that talent, we don't have that strength, and we're getting older. How about you, Hu?" Zheng Wu asked.

Hu Weidong shook his head and smiled: "Our CBA has just started a season, I think it's pretty good, I don't have any ideas.

What I want most now is to follow Tekken to get a brand in the Olympics, that is, Guangzong Yaozu. "

"Take a sign?"

A group of men's basketball members immediately became excited.

The women's basketball team, on the other hand, has already won the Olympic silver medal, but is not as excited as the men's basketball team.

The game continues at the United Center in Chicago.

Today, the state of both sides is average. Zhou Quan made 3 of 1 shots and Jordan made 5 of 2 shots. At the 7th minute of the first quarter, at 11:10, the Bulls trailed by one point and called a timeout.

"The Bulls shot 41% and the Sonics 39%. They couldn't even throw it in. The Sonics took one more shot. With the efficiency of the two teams, today's highest ratings are only 2100 million, and now there are only 1500 million left." Lariber De said.

Magic Johnson's face twitched, 2100 million. He tried it with Jordan in the 91 Finals, relying on Jordan's influence.

He secretly said in his heart: "The times are advancing, the alliance is developing, we haven't caught up with the good times!"

Larry Bird said with a smile: "With such a high ratings, it's a pity that the alliance's TV broadcast contract was signed at the wrong time. It was signed two years earlier. If it is signed this year, the annual income of the alliance may be [-] million, or even [-] million. Salary The cap will go up dramatically, and those TV broadcasters will make a lot of money."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and said: "The contribution of us and Jordan to the league lies in this point, let more people become fans of the NBA, and then increase the operating income of the league, thereby increasing players' salaries level, from an annual salary of [-] to a million, and then to the current annual salary of tens of millions, this is influence."

Magic Johnson nodded and said: "If Iron Fist wants to reach the level of Michael's influence on the NBA, then under his influence, the league's operating income will increase significantly, the salary cap will be raised to another level, and players' wages and benefits will be greatly improved. Correspondingly, it has been greatly improved.

If it's just breaking records in the All-Star voting, if it's just the ratings skyrocketing in the finals, if it's just the Sonics benefiting and no other teams have anything to do, then his influence and contribution to the league will never catch up with Michael Jordan, That's just his personal success. "

"It should be like this."

Larry Bird nodded, and said: "But I believe his influence will continue to affect the league, which requires a process of development.

In fact, no one can deny his contribution to the league now. Although the ratings of this year's finals are not as good as last year, they have not dropped to the previous level. The average ratings are still three times that of the 91 finals. This is a huge progress. "

At this point the timeout ends, play resumes, and the Bulls attack.

Jordan passed the top of the arc from the right wing, ran to the left wing to catch the ball, and was double-teamed by Zhou Quan and Schramff.

With Michael Jordan double-teamed, Pippen gets open and immediately cuts inside, angled into the left elbow.

Jordan saw Pippen's opening and immediately passed the ball between the crowd.

But what a vision Zhou Quan had, even if he didn't look at the ball in Jordan's hands, Jordan's passing action couldn't miss his vision, and he reacted instantly.

"Snapped!"

He leaned over to probe and hit with precision. As soon as Jordan dropped the ball, he intercepted it.

"Oh, Zhou Quan's second steal!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Di!"

Annoyed, Jordan fought back on the spot, and was called a personal foul by the referee.

Rodman served from the sideline, Zhou Quan received the ball and advanced to the right wing of the frontcourt, Hawkins made a pick-and-roll, he took the opportunity to get rid of Jordan and made a breakthrough with the ball, Ron Harper, who was on defense, also dropped a step, and after three consecutive steps, passed the right elbow The area rushed to the restricted area.

"Snapped!"

"Di!"

Zhou Quan made a throw to face Luke Langley under the basket, but Kevin Willis fouled early and the referee blew his whistle.

"Zhou Quan knows that the hand feels mediocre today, so he should be planning to increase his breakthrough now." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "In terms of damage and free throws, he is much better than Jordan. Jordan is only 83.4% this season, and he has a 93.5% shooting rate, ranking first in the league.

Before it was Mark Price, who made 90.4% of his free throws in his career, ranking first in the league and once ranked first in history.

Since the 93/94 season, Zhou Quan has hit 92% of his shots, and his career is now temporarily ranked first in history. "

With two swipes, Zhou Quan made both free throws.

“这是周权的第4分，还有1篮板2助攻1抢断1失误。”徐计成念道。
