God of NBA point guards

Chapter 433 He is preparing to leave the NBA

Famous basketball commentator Kevin Livingston said in an interview with ABC Sports:
"The Sonics showed a sense of rustiness after the start. From Rodman to Schramf, Sam Perkins, Hawkins, and even the Iron Fist King, the state is average.

We all know that the Tekken King did not practice during the entire offseason. His time was spent on the Olympics, his two weddings, and the defense of the world boxing champion. His investment in the NBA has been greatly reduced. I think this is a big reason for his decline.

As for the others, I think they were also influenced by King of Iron Fist. If the team leader didn't do extra training, they didn't either. This is a natural thing.

As the current No.1, Iron Fist has not set a good example, he has even become a bad example for others. "

The interview with Livingston was reprinted and adopted by many media that day. Zhou Quan also noticed it, and Philip also noticed it. In the afternoon, he came here to chat with him.

There was no training in the afternoon because he had to fight the Warriors back-to-back in the evening. Zhou Quan rested on the dock at home and basked in the sun.

The sun in November is a little weak, but there is no wind in the glass house, and it is a little warm in the sun.

"Zhou, what's the status now?"

Before Zhou Quan could take action, Phillip poured himself a cup of coffee and asked.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Still recovering. In addition to shooting training, we also need to carry out weight training and physical reserve training. Some of them affect the shooting feel, and the body is also a little tired."

Phillip nodded and said, "Did you see Leviston's interview?"

"Yes."

"This guy should be coming for you. No matter what his intentions are, he is very detrimental to you. Many media are responding to his words, which is likely to form public opinion."

"I want to fight for three consecutive championships. There must be no problems with the internal and external environment. But now everyone is really not in a good state and it takes time to adjust and recover. So at this time, the external environment is very important. Rogge, leave these things to me. You handle it."

"of course."

"Personally, I still need at least two to three months, and I can probably recover after the All-Star game." Zhou Quan said.

At this time, some media reporters rushed to Zhou Quan's villa, hoping that he would be interviewed. He agreed, and went from the pier to the villa's iron gate to accept the interview.

"Tekken, the media thinks that you are distracted by cross-border and other things, do you agree with this statement?" A reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "It's nonsense. My personal data is still the best, and the SuperSonics' opening record is not bad. Some people are exaggerating, and they are just targeting me. I even think this is a mistake." kind of racial discrimination.”

"Tekken, some people in the media think that you have become a bad example in the team and in the league. Do you think so?" A reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Absurd remarks! Let him choose another bad example like me. As long as another bad example is like me and can achieve similar results to mine in two major projects at the same time, I will I agree with this statement, otherwise this statement is to create public opinion against me, it is a statement with ulterior motives, and it is a conspiracy against me."

In the following days, Roger Philippe used many contacts to counterattack Livingston.

However, if the Sonics and Zhou Quan want to ascend to the dynasty throne, they will inevitably become public enemies of the alliance. Naturally, the American media is willing to manipulate public opinion and make profits from it, so they have little effect.

Whether it is the SuperSonics or Zhou Quan, from management to players, they are beginning to bear pressure from the US media. Of course, Zhou Quan is the one who bears the brunt of the pressure.

Zhou Quan has almost no other black spots, and the negative point that attracts media attention is his crossover.

The media believed that his crossover distracted him from the NBA, causing his own condition to decline, and his teammates to be less interested in training. In the end, the team's record was not as good as last season, and his personal performance was also not as good as last season.

The media even believed that he had set a bad example, in the Sonics, in the NBA, and even in the entire sports world, he was a bad example.

Even the media thought that he crossed borders only for the sake of fame and fortune, and that he was a man of fame and fortune.

In just half a month, a wave of public opinion was formed in the United States that was quite unfavorable to Zhou Quan and criticized him.

On the 14th, the Magic played against the Hornets at home, and Anfernee Hardaway injured his left knee.

Originally, the people of Orlando thought it was just a minor injury, but the results of the examination told them that it was too good to think that this was a serious injury that required knee surgery.

Three days later, Penny Hardaway underwent surgery and entered the injury period, and the Magic's record began to plummet.

At this time, Orlando people began to miss Shaquille O'Neal. If it was before, Penny was injured, and there would be Sharks who could carry this team, but now they don't.

On the 16th, Zeng Li returned to China and stayed in the country for more than ten days before returning to the United States on the 28th.

It just so happened that the SuperSonics ended their six consecutive away games, and Zhou Quan also returned to Seattle.

"Husband, I had a meeting with Roberts in Los Angeles this morning, and she said that your situation is not very good recently." Zeng Li said as soon as we met.

"It's nothing, it's just a big tree attracting the wind." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Will not have any problems?"

"With the support of some capital, the media tried to arouse public opinion that was not good for me, but it was only after some media followed up. My fans were not deceived. My jersey and sneaker sales have surpassed Jordan in North America. The hype of those media Can't achieve the goal." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"That's good."

Zeng Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

The sales of jerseys and sneakers are the best proof of popularity, and she is well aware of this.

There is another game in November. In the first 11 games, 16 wins and 11 losses, and then lost to three teams including the Kings, Knicks, and Hornets.

In the Western Conference, Mosaic has 13 wins and 1 loss, and the Jazz has 10 wins and 2 losses, ranking first and second respectively. The SuperSonics are still third.

The Lakers have 10 wins and 6 losses, and they have lost a lot, falling behind the Sonics.

The Eastern Bulls are number one, winning all 14 games, and they are also number one in the league.

周权到目前为止，上场时间为32分钟，有所提升，场均26.7分4.1篮板10.2助攻4.1抢断2盖帽3.2失误1.8犯规，投篮命中率50.2%。

In terms of personal data, he is still the best in the league. No one is more comprehensive than him. Even if some people have higher offensive efficiency than him, they are just some centers.

There are only a lot of mistakes. This is because there are four rookies, there are still some problems in cooperation, there is not enough tacit understanding, and there will be some mistakes in passing and receiving.

After half a month, the Sonics began to adapt to the current media environment. It was very stressful at the beginning, but now it is much better.Under Zhou Quan's control, there were no major problems in the locker room.

As the schedule progressed, the players' condition began to recover, which is why Zhou Quan did not increase his playing time and shots. He still focused part of his energy on training and gaining weight.

With the strengthening of the substitute lineup, the playing time of several main players has decreased. Of course, the data of the main players last season has also declined.

On the 29th, the Sonics played the last game of the month and defeated the Suns at home, achieving a record of 12 wins and 5 losses.

After one and a half months of weight gain, Zhou Quan's weight has reached 95.5 kg, and there is still a weight gain goal of 1.5 kg. His strength has reached level 89, which is a level up.The ability to resist injuries is still level 95, and has not decreased.

On the 1st, the NBA announced the best player of the month. Jordan won this honor by virtue of the league's first record.

At the same time, the official MVP rankings were also updated. Jordan is also No. 3, Olajuwon No. [-], Zhou Quan No. [-], and there is no change.

That night, the SuperSonics defeated the Jazz for the second time and achieved a record of 13 wins and 5 losses.

周权本赛季第一次上场时间达到35分钟，轰下了44分16助攻6抢断4盖帽的数据。

In the 5th minute of the last quarter, he hit Stockton in a breakthrough. Stockton flew at least one meter in the air, fell to the floor and slipped five or six meters, and crashed directly into the media seats.After examination, at least three ribs were broken.

After injuring Stockton, the Sonics were already leading by 23 points, and he left the game.

But this time he hurt Stockton, the media found another reason to attack him.

Livingston, who took the lead in attacking him last time, said in an interview with NBC TV the next day: "Obviously, Iron Fist has gained weight, his strength, his impact is stronger, and he is more terrifying. But I don't understand it very much. He Any reason to gain weight?
He is a point guard, the original tonnage is enough for him to sweep the league's first position, even the second position, and few people in the third position are stronger than him. There is almost no small forward with a higher muscle ratio than him. , His tonnage and strength can even allow him to sweep the perimeter of the entire league.

Why is he gaining weight?There is only one reason, because of boxing.He wants to increase his tonnage and enhance his strength in the ring.

However, when a person's weight increases, his athleticism must decrease, this is inevitable, and there is no way to avoid this.

So I want to congratulate the players in the league. The current No. 1 player in the NBA, the great crossover player Iron Fist, is leaving the NBA in order to make a lot of money.

Why do I say that?Because he can earn [-] million dollars or more in a boxing match, and how much can he earn in a season in the NBA?Why is he gaining weight?So it is obvious that he is preparing to leave the NBA.

But I think it's a good thing, our league will become a little purer, and the NBA will be a place for people who love basketball to play.

I think Iron Fist has polluted the league. His cross-border behavior is full of lack of seriousness and love for the league and basketball. I hope he will leave this league as soon as possible to make his big money. In the NBA, the rest Will be someone who really loves basketball. "

This was a live TV interview. There was a lot of publicity before it, and Zhou Quan also watched it. His mobile phone was blown up before the interview was over.

He picked a reporter he knew and gave him a telephone interview.

In the interview, he admitted that he was indeed gaining weight, and that the purpose of the weight gain was indeed to increase his competitiveness in boxing.

"However, Mr. Livingston's statement is strongly subjective and racist, and I have no intention of leaving the NBA.

This season, my goal with the team is to win three consecutive championships, a dynasty. If possible, we even hope to win four consecutive championships and five consecutive championships, so his statement is extremely ridiculous and extremely unbelievable. "

At this time, his other cell phone rang, it was Phillip.

"Zhou, this guy is very troublesome. I have someone investigate him. He belongs to a white supremacist group and rejects you from the bottom of his heart. Behind him, there must be a group of forces supporting him."

"It doesn't matter, you deal with it. If there is no way to prevent the formation of public opinion, then it doesn't matter, it won't affect me. I will try my best to control the locker room, and we won't have any big problems." Zhou Quan said calmly.

He is not unprepared. As a Chinese who does not even have American citizenship, the higher his status and the greater his achievements in a racially discriminatory country like the United States, he will inevitably encounter greater difficulties.

This time last year, he won the world boxing title. He once thought that his influence could transcend racial boundaries, but now it seems that he does not.In other words, it does not completely transcend racial boundaries.

"Okay, I have already informed all your sponsors, they must contribute, otherwise you will fall, and they will lose the best quality spokesperson, and ultimately lose their own interests." Philip said.

"Rogge, we have to be prepared, not all sponsors are willing to stand with us now."

"Understood." Philip said after a moment of silence.

On the 2nd, the Sonics arrived in Los Angeles and will challenge the Lakers away on the 3rd.

This morning, some media exposed the news that Leviston was a member of a white supremacist group, believing that the public opinion was a conspiracy against Zhou Quan.

Some media began to express some views in support of Zhou Quan, believing that Zhou Quan's achievements in the NBA in the past five seasons do not need to be criticized.

Then the topics of the media began to disperse, and the media began to confront each other, and it was no longer one-sided.

In the evening, at the appointed time, O'Neill came to the hotel to pick him up and invite him to dinner.

While driving, O'Neal said, "Iron Fist, since the new season, you have been in trouble! Back then, the American media didn't seem to be targeting you on the same scale as Jordan after two consecutive championships.

Many media think that you should leave the NBA, and even accuse your sponsors of choosing you. Are there any sponsors who want to leave you? "

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

"But something changed today, and some media began to support you." O'Neill said.

"In this world, interests are not the same. There is only one piece of meat. If you eat too much, someone must eat less, so there are always fights." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Have you really gained weight?" O'Neill smiled and asked again.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "I am indeed gaining weight. Leviston is right about one thing. I am indeed gaining weight because of boxing."

"Are you really leaving the NBA?" O'Neal asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Do you believe what the media say? One day when they hack you, you won't be too late to believe it."

O'Neal laughed and asked, "How many pounds are you going to gain?"

"97 kilograms. About 214 pounds." Zhou Quan said.

"Then can you still run?" O'Neill asked curiously.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I also weigh 95.5 kilograms now, do you think my speed is slow?"

O'Neal was startled, looked at Zhou Quan in horror, and shouted, "Are you serious? You are almost 25 years old, haven't you fully tapped your talent yet?"

"Shark, do you think you are the only one with talent?" Zhou Quan asked with a smile.

O'Neal laughed and said triumphantly, "Of course, I'm 300 pounds now, and I can't run much slower than you."
