God of NBA point guards

Chapter 434 That guy has been out of business for several seasons, but he has won three championships

On the evening of the 3rd, the Great Western Forum Arena.

At 06:30, in the locker room of the visiting team, Zhou Quan and his teammates were digesting food after having dinner together. A Lakers player came to visit.

"I'm looking for Iron Fist."

After the Sonics staff pushed open the door, Bryant stuck his crew cut in.

Zhou Quan's memory is as high as level 95. Although he has only met Kobe once, he still remembers this rookie and even his name, so he stood up and walked to the door, held out his hand to Kobe, and said, "Kobe, you have something to do with me." ?"

"Can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you."

Because of unfamiliarity, coupled with Zhou Quan's temporary status in the league and sports, the youthful Kobe said a little awkwardly.

"Iron Fist, this kid doesn't want to confess to you, does he?" Rodman smiled strangely.

"You nonsense, my sexual orientation is normal."

Kobe jumped up like a stinging cat and glared at Rodman.

Zhou Quan laughed, pulled Kobe out of the locker room, walked to a secluded place and asked, "Tell me, rookie, what do you want to say to me?"

"You, you really want to leave the NBA?" Kobe looked at Zhou Quan anxiously and asked.

"Are you very concerned about this?" Zhou Quan asked with interest.

Kobe nodded and said: "I think you should focus all your energy on the NBA. Isn't basketball your favorite sport?"

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Kobe, I have to thank you for your concern."

"Do you insist on continuing to cross the border?" Kobe asked sensitively.

"Is there any reason for me not to insist?" Zhou Quan asked back.

Kobe thought for a while, the current record of the Sonics does not seem to be bad, Iron Fist's personal data is also the best in the league, he shrugged, and then said: "This is your choice, but I think the best choice must be more pure Some."

"So, rookie, you are you and I am me." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

Kobe snorted coldly, "I'm going to knock you down tonight."

Zhou Quan was stunned, and laughed, "Rookie, it is said that you ate duck eggs in your first show, do you still have a chance to play now?
Shall I blow up Eddie Jones and give you a chance?Ah, I forgot, you shouldn't be the first substitute in the second position, if you beat him down, it probably won't be your turn. "

When it came to his debut, Kobe became a little annoyed and said: "I will fight for playing time myself, I don't need your help."

After Kobe left, Zhou Quan returned to the locker room. Rodman asked curiously, "Iron Fist, why did that rookie ask you?"

"He has a heart, and advised me to focus on the NBA." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Tekken, do you have a connection with that rookie?" Schramf asked curiously.

"There is contact information, but there is no contact. He is just a fan of mine." Zhou Quan laughed.

"Iron Fist, the media is going too far now." Said the glider with a worried expression on his face.

"Now there are a lot of media supporting Tekken, and it's not one-sided. What are you worried about?" Rodman said with a smile.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Dennis is right, everyone should not take the media's words to heart, we cannot let the media affect us.

I have told you that this season we are the target of public criticism and the public enemy of the league. Every team that encounters us wants to beat us, and every player wants to step on us and steal the limelight, so it is normal for the media to target me.

We have to keep a low profile and not consume too much in the regular season. We accumulate strength in the regular season, and the playoffs are when we exert our strength. "

"The boss is right, no one wants to see us win three consecutive championships, and the same goes for those media who target the boss." Hawkins agreed.

Schramf also nodded and said: "We did not practice more during the offseason, but that is our own decision. Anyway, I am like that. I hope that after two consecutive championships, there will be a complete relaxation, and then start from scratch, and Iron Fist It doesn't matter.

That Livingston can really say that it actually involved Iron Fist. I think his purpose is to target Iron Fist, and then cause us internal discord, so that we cannot defend the three consecutive championships. "

"He's a racist and an extreme white supremacist. I've seen a lot of people like that," veteran Minkass said.

Leitner laughed and said, "Iron Fist, in America, at least five out of ten white people are racist. Michael Jackson was almost made crazy by them. He hasn't appeared in public for a long time. Now it's your turn again. "

"Are you?" Rodman asked.

"Of course I'm not." Leitner quickly denied.

"I and the interested parties I represent are now a piece of fat, and everyone wants to eat a bite." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Skechers' stock price has continued to decline recently, and your lifetime sponsor has become a piece of fat." Lightner laughed.

"I'll have to lay down and talk about that." Zhou Quan sneered.

An hour and a half later, at eight o'clock, the Sonics and the Lakers announced the starting lineup.

Lakers: O'Neal, Eldon Campbell, Jeremy Kersey, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel
SuperSonics: Laettner, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

ESPN's national broadcast, the commentators are Isiah Thomas and Bill Lambiel.

After getting the list, the assassin threw it aside, and said with a smile: "Recently, a racial discriminator has been very active. By the way, he is also a member of white supremacy, and we are also the target of his discrimination."

"Isaiah, what did he do to make you so angry?" Lambiel asked knowingly.

The assassin smiled and said, "He's doing something to destroy the NBA."

Lambiel was surprised. It wasn't an act, he was really surprised. He quickly asked, "Isn't Livingston just saying that the Iron Fist guy is not doing his job properly? What else did he do to destroy the alliance?"

The assassin sneered and said, "Not doing business properly? Did Tekken do anything not doing business properly during the season? Did he gamble, or party every night? Did he drink alcohol or take drugs?

No, he didn't do anything, he just won three championships in five seasons, three FMVPs and two MVPs, four assists and steals, two DPOYs, one scoring champion, and also Won four doubles.

Yes, he is the only person in the entire history of the league who has won scoring titles, assists titles, steals titles, DPOY, MVP, FMVP and championship titles in a single season. out of things.

I want to say that some people are jealous, they want to destroy him, that's it, they don't want to see a Chinese, a yellow person, in the United States, in the sports world all over the world, achieve such a great achievement, so they want to ruined him. "

Lambiel felt a little dizzy when he heard a series of honors, and murmured: "If I can be so strong without doing business, I want to do business too!"

"Isaiah, haven't you said what Livingston did to destroy the alliance?" Lambiel reminded.The assassin sneered: "If the current No.1 is forced to leave the NBA, is it good for the NBA? Isn't this ruining the league?"

In front of the TV, David Stern was meditating.

In the past half month, he has also been under a lot of pressure.

Sponsors such as Adidas, Nike, and Puma are all putting pressure on the alliance. The purpose is of course to suppress Iron Fist, and then defeat Skechers and seize its share.

In addition to these sneaker brands, there are many sponsors, as well as some groups, who are putting pressure on him to the league.

He knows that the existence of Iron Fist has touched the interests of many people. They not only want to protect their own interests, but also want to swallow the interests of Iron Fist.

Likewise, he was under pressure from sponsors on the Iron Fist side.

The public opinion this time is, first of all, capital is at play. Under the pressure from both sides, he can only maintain a neutral attitude.

Now the smiling assassin is very straightforward, so he has to start thinking, if Iron Fist really leaves the NBA under pressure, what impact will it have on the NBA?
Last season, the league's overall ratings increased by 10%. The media did not recognize the increase due to Iron Fist, but he knew that this was the reason for Iron Fist.

And this season, Tekken's performance is not as amazing as last season's start, and the ratings of the Supersonics have dropped by 15% compared with the same period last season.

It plummeted by 15% year-on-year, but he is very satisfied, because last season was a skyrocketing increase. He originally thought that it was at least half of the decline, but now it has only fallen by 15%. fan.

The current average national ratings of the Sonics is around 670 million, ranking first in the league and 300 million higher than the second-placed Bulls.

The average viewership rating is 670 million. Two years ago, the first two rounds of the playoffs may not have this rating.

And so far this season, the overall ratings of the league have increased by 24% year-on-year, which is a huge improvement.

After Jordan raised the ratings of the league to a higher level on the basis of Magic Bird, now Iron Fist is improving again, and the improvement is more difficult than Jordan's at that time, because the base is larger, which he knows very well.

If this improvement rate can be maintained throughout the season, it can provide a lot of operating income for the league, indicating that the league is really improving.

The salary cap of this season has increased by 300 million US dollars compared with last season, because the operating income of last season has been greatly increased, and [-]% of the increased operating income comes from overseas, sales of jerseys and other peripherals, copyright sales, etc. .

He couldn't deny that the soaring overseas operations of the NBA were caused by Iron Fist's influence.

If Tekken leaves the NBA, can these overseas operating income be maintained?People who became NBA fans because of Iron Fist, how many people will continue to follow the NBA?He wasn't sure.

It's just that the power of capital is too strong, and he can't do anything. He only hopes that the capital of the iron fist side can withstand the pressure, and the iron fist can also withstand the pressure.

Now he is only worried that those sponsors of Tekken choose to abandon Tekken, which is very possible, because the relationship between capital is inextricably linked, and those sponsors of Tekken will definitely be under pressure from all sides.

……

At this time, the starter starts and the visiting team goes first.

When Zhou Quan came on the stage, he still received warm cheers from the people of Los Angeles.

"It's strange that the media wants Tekken to get out of the NBA immediately, but the fans welcome him, so I really want to know, do these fans want Tekken to get out of the NBA, or do they want the media to get out of the NBA?" the assassin complained.

"You can commission a survey company to do a survey, and the results will definitely be interesting." Ranbir said.

The Smiling Assassin suddenly said excitedly: "Yes, we were not very popular with the media back then, but there were so many fans who supported us, and we led the trend of that era. This was the fans' choice. So, who do the fans like? The media can’t decide.”

"Snapped!"

Great Western Forum Arena, jump ball, O'Neal pulls the ball away, and the Lakers attack.

Facing Zhou Quan's defense, Van Exel handled the ball very carefully. He held the ball very far back. It was obvious that he was worried about being intercepted.

He advanced a step beyond the three-point line on the right wing, and his heart suddenly became excited.

He was the No. 93 pick in the second round of 10, and his pick was very low. Although he entered the league and made it out, he is not well-known and has not been in the All-Star. Facing the Iron Fist King who is now being targeted by all the media, he really wants to be in the This active No.1 head showed off and made a big splash.

If he can show off the Iron Fist King today, he thinks that the media will definitely praise him.

Thinking of this, under the blessing of strong excitement, he stood up and shot a three-pointer.

Of course, Zhou Quan has studied Madman Fan. He is a guy who dares to take action against any defender. His actions are very casual. He will strike whenever he wants and completely unreasonable. Therefore, he has always been prepared for Madman Fan to suddenly take action. .

In particular, Crazy Fan likes to shoot three-pointers, even ultra-long-range three-pointers. When he gets close to the three-point line, his vigilance is raised to the highest level.

So, the moment Madman Fan joined the ball, he made the fastest reaction speed, took half a step forward, and stretched out his right hand.

The next moment, Van Exel took off and took off the ball at the same time.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan seemed to be jumping higher, with a precise strike, he slapped directly on the ball that had not yet been shot, and Crazy Fan was pushed back to the floor by him with the ball, staggered two steps back, and sat down on the floor superior.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, pointed at Van Exel, and gestured to move.

"Oh hoo!"

On the Supersonics bench, under the leadership of veteran Minkass, a group of substitute players excitedly stood up and applauded the field, waving white towels non-stop.

"Oh hoo!"

In the Great Western Forum Arena, countless Los Angeles people applauded Zhou Quan's block.

The atmosphere at the scene was very enthusiastic, which made Madman Fan very angry. He felt that this was not playing at home at all, but as if he was playing away, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Pretty!"

The assassin praised and said: "Iron Fist blocked the opponent and got a big hit. Van Exel seems a little confused!"

Laimbeer said: "Maybe he thought that the Iron Fist guy was not doing his job properly and his strength had declined. But he forgot that that guy had been not doing his job properly for several seasons, not just this offseason."

"Haha..." the assassin laughed.
