God of NBA point guards

Chapter 541 Shaq, you have a good appetite

"Lesson Three……"

On the court, Zhou Quan's on-site teaching came again, "Colander, your defense is too passive. I have warned you. Why don't you interrupt my breakthrough rhythm first, wait for me to break through, and give up the defensive initiative? It's simply Just stupid!
Even if you just reached out and poked the ball, even if you couldn't poke it, you still had a chance to interrupt my breakthrough rhythm. Do you understand, colander? "

"understand!"

Kobe nodded, not gritting his teeth this time.

Jordan also taught him yesterday that he should be proactive and aggressive in defense, but now Zhou Quan's teaching is ten times more profound than Jordan's teaching.

On the sidelines, Jordan turned to Magic Johnson and others and said: "That's it for this game. Kobe has been completely controlled by the iron fist, and his attention is no longer on the game.

Iron Fist told him this, told him that, but did not remind him that this is a game, not a training ground. In the game, winning or losing is the most important, and paying attention to the game is the most important. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said with a wry smile: "There is no doubt that the current Iron Fist, even if he has not played for two years, is better than he was before he retired."

Magic Johnson nodded and said: "Kobe is inexperienced and too young. He was distracted by the so-called on-site teaching of the Iron Fist King and completely lost his focus on the game.

Barkley sneered and said: "Even if he concentrates his attention, can he beat the Iron Fist King? The Lakers will definitely lose, and they may be swept again."

"What, are you licking the iron fist now?" Magic Johnson said angrily.

“谁舔他了？埃尔文，信不信我揍你？”巴克利怒道。

Magic Johnson didn't dare to irritate Barkley anymore. His relationship with Barkley was not as good as Barkley and Jordan. They were just ordinary. It would be a big shame to get beaten up here.

In this game, as Jordan said, Kobe's mind was completely controlled by Zhou Quan. Although he received a lot of guidance from Zhou Quan, after the first quarter, 37:17, the Lakers had lost by 20 points.

This was the result of O'Neal not sparing his physical strength and continuously attacking the basket to chase points. He made 8 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 10 of 3 free throws, and 11 points in a single quarter. Otherwise, the point difference would be even greater.

However, the Supersonics' three major human shields adopted a tough shoulder tactic, which also consumed O'Neal's physical energy very much. At the same time, once O'Neal received the ball under the basket, he decisively adopted foul tactics. O'Neal's efficiency was not high, and free throws were more Give him a headache.

Zhou Quan made 12 of 12 shots in the first quarter, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He was in super explosive form, shooting 100% from the field. He scored 31 points in a single quarter, breaking his own performance in the G96 game of the 2 Western Conference Finals. Set a playoff record of 30 points in a single quarter.

In that game, he not only scored 30 points in a single quarter, but also scored 50+ points for the second time in his career in the playoffs. At the same time, he made 7 three-pointers in the half, which also broke Jordan's 6 in the first half of the playoffs. All-time record for three-pointers.

In addition, he stole Kobe 4 times in isolation, allowing Kobe to shoot 5 from 1 and only score two points.

"Iron Fist! Iron Fist..."

At the end of the first quarter, a huge shout of "Iron Fist" rang out from the Staples Center.

Under Zhou Quan's continuous on-site teaching, Kobe, who felt that he had gained a lot, heard the deafening shouts and saw the dazzling score difference, and suddenly felt at a loss.

He felt like he suddenly realized that he had been fooled, that he had been fooled, and that he was going to lose this game.

Seeing the way Kobe looked at him, Zhou Quan cursed angrily: "What are you looking at? I taught you the wrong thing? Practice what I taught you for a few years. By my age, you should have a chance to defeat Me."

When Kobe heard these words, his mentality collapsed instantly, and even the corners of his eyes were about to explode.

It's still six years since I reached your current age. Six years later, I will be 28 years old, and you are already 34 years old. I still only have a chance to defeat you. I am so useless, are you that strong?
"Are you dissatisfied?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Of course I don't accept it," Kobe said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Quan chuckled and said, "How old is Jordan now?"

"37." Kobe said.

"Can you beat him now?" Zhou Quan asked.

When Kobe heard this, he immediately thought of the result of yesterday's one-on-one match with Jordan. He couldn't beat Jordan, who was now 37 years old.

This result immediately made him collapse + confused.

Even the 37-year-old Jordan can't beat him. How can he beat the stronger and younger 34-year-old Iron Fist King?
At this time, Zhou Quan comforted: "Don't be depressed. You will definitely be stronger than you are now. And you have to know that Jordan won his first championship only at the age of 28. Remember, Kobe is only a man at the age of 28." peak period."

"..."

Kobe opened his mouth. Although he felt a little better, he was still very sad.

Zhou Quan patted Kobe on the shoulder and said: "Kobe, there are still three quarters left. I will continue to teach you how to play. Don't waste a good opportunity. I rarely teach people to play like this."

"Pfft! Hehe, haha..."

When Rodman, the big insect standing behind Zhou Quan, heard this, he finally couldn't help it and squatted on the floor laughing.

"Humph!"

Kobe glared at Zhou Quan and Rodman and walked to the bench.

"Kobe, how do you want to play in the second quarter? Should you continue to let the Iron Fist King teach you how to play?" Phil Jackson stared at Kobe and asked.

Kobe was silent, you are the head coach, you ask me?

When Phil Jackson saw Kobe like this, he had a splitting headache. Why don't you say something? What's the point of not speaking?
"This is a guy who is more difficult to deal with than Jordan." This is his current thinking.

Kobe's state is actually quite broken now. It's not that his mental quality is not good enough, it's because tonight's performance was too mediocre.

On the defensive end, the Iron Fist King scored 31 points in a single quarter, breaking the historical record. On the offensive end, he only scored two points and made 6 turnovers.

Such a performance made him doubt his life.

"Am I really that bad in front of Iron Fist?" His eyes were red, and when he felt something was about to flow out, he quickly covered his face with a towel.

O'Neal was next to Kobe, and he was in a terrible mood.

"This bastard, bastard, does he want to sweep me away? Can we still be friends?"

When he thought about the possibility of being swept again, for three consecutive years, and then getting the nickname "King of Sweeps", he had the urge to turn his anger into appetite, eat ten super beef burgers, and then beat up the Iron Fist King. .

"Anger actually filled me with hunger and increased my appetite. Why? Could it be... is this a disease?"

He started to think wildly and felt more and more hungry.In New York, Stern knew that the Sonics were going to win tonight, and it was useless for the referee to help.

The referee also blew many whistles from Ben Wallace and several other SuperSonics insiders in the first quarter. O'Neal made 10 free throws in one quarter, but the Sharks' free throws were so disappointing that they did not get the benefit of the home whistle.

And the rising star, Kobe, whom he was also very optimistic about, behaved like an amateur player in front of the Iron Fist King.

"It seems that among the younger generation, Iverson is still the one to watch."

Next, if the Lakers still have a chance, it is to punish several Sonics insiders. They committed a lot of fouls.

But he doesn't want to do that, and he definitely doesn't want to irritate the Iron Fist King, so tonight's whistle has no bias towards the Iron Fist King.

But tonight's ratings were very good, exceeding 500 million. This was purely due to the super performance of King of Iron Fist.

"If you're swept, let's be swept. I hope the Lakers will be stronger next season and OK will win one or two games." He can only think this way now.

At the Staples Center, the OK team, unwilling to be swept, came on the court in the 3rd minute of the second quarter, and Zhou Quan also came on the court.

"Kobe, teaching continues." He said to Kobe with a smile.

"I don't need you to teach me anymore." Kobe said with fire in his eyes.

"That's not up to you." Zhou Quan said, still smiling.

Kobe's teeth were almost broken, they were rattling, and his fists were almost bleeding. These words from the Iron Fist King made him realize the true meaning that the weak have no human rights.

Seeing Kobe like this, Zhou Quan shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, Kobe, you can't even bear this little pressure. I take back what I just said. Even if you reach Jordan's current age, you can't beat me."

"you?"

Kobe was furious. You were 37 when I was 43. Are you going to fight me in a wheelchair?
In the next game, Kobe seemed to have broken the pot and asked for ejection. He defended Zhou Quan like crazy and launched a real stalking defense, a mad dog-like defense.

This kind of defense has too many small movements, a lot of elbow movements, and big movements, all aimed at fouling.

The referee will not blow Zhou Quan's foul easily, but he will not blow Kobe's whistle easily. Kobe will not get the bonus of the home whistle, but his foul defense does affect Zhou Quan's offense.

Under Kobe's constant defense, Zhou Quan only made one of his first three shots, while O'Neal made two of three shots and scored 5 points with consecutive dunks and penalties. At 39:22, the Lakers chased the point difference to 17 points.

After defending Zhou Quan's two goals, Kobe's morale soared. He swept away his previous collapse and confusion and said in a mocking tone: "Iron Fist King, if you want to sweep us, stop dreaming."

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Zhou Quan really had no intention of sweeping the Lakers. O'Neal, who weighed nearly 150 kilograms, was indeed too domineering.

But after the first two games, the performance of the OK combination was average. When he defeated Kobe, and when Ben Wallace and several others double-teamed O'Neal, the Sharks were also greatly affected.

So when it came to G3, he really had the idea of ​​sweeping the Lakers, otherwise he wouldn't have been so full-force today and wouldn't have spared any effort against Kobe.

Today he attacked Kobe with all his strength, and even used psychological warfare to psychologically attack Kobe, which almost caused Kobe to collapse.

But Kobe is really good. Like Jordan, he is a little strong, determined, and can't bite off more than he can chew. He seemed to be broken. After guarding two goals, his morale seemed to be rising again.

"These little strong guys still have to rub themselves against the floor!"

Looking at Kobe's unruly face, he shook his head. Today's young man needs some training.

Next, he began to continue to attack Kobe with all his strength.

At the end of the second quarter, Kobe's morale was shattered again.

Zhou Quan still tried his best in the 10 minutes of the second quarter, making 8 of 4 shots, 5 of 3 from the next, missing one three-pointer, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter and 43 points in the half.

The offensive end was okay, not as scary as the first quarter. Kobe's defense did affect his performance, but his performance on the defensive end was the reason why Kobe lost all his morale. In the second quarter, Kobe was in pain when he was defended against him, and it happened three times again. Steal Kobe.

Kobe made 5 more turnovers in the second quarter, made 6 of 0 shots, and scored no points. He made 11 turnovers in the half and only scored 2 points.

O'Neal exploded in the second quarter without any hesitation. He made 9 of 6 shots and 8 of 3 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter. In the two quarters, he made 17 of 10 shots and 18 of 6 free throws. He scored 26 points in the half.

But his performance did not allow the Lakers to catch up with the score, because Kobe was blocked by Zhou Quan in the second quarter, because the Lakers' bench was not as good as the SuperSonics.

At halftime, 62:39, the Lakers trailed by 23 points, and the point difference widened by 3 points.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, 43 points, breaking Michael Jordan's historical record of 35 points in a half in the playoffs." Bill Walton said with a smile.

Speaking of this, he said to Laimbeer: "Brother Bill, the highest score Iron Fist scored in a single game in the playoffs was 62 points, which he scored in the 97 Finals, and the highest score in a single game in the playoffs was Jordan's 63 points. Do you think he might break the historical record of 63 points tonight?"

Laimbeer said in a mocking tone: "Then the Lakers must not surrender. If the Lakers surrender, how shameless does that kid from Iron Fist have to be to go up and score points?"

Bill Walton opened his mouth, feeling that he and Laimbeer were likely to follow in the footsteps of Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Will the Lakers surrender?

Absolutely not. If the Lakers dare to surrender after playing only two quarters at home tonight, the people of Los Angeles will not just applaud the Iron Fist King. They will probably boo the Lakers like the New Yorkers did to the Knicks.

If it continues like this, the people of Los Angeles can still see the Iron Fist King perform a super performance and make them enjoy themselves. This is what the Lakers should do most.

At this time, the morale in the home team's locker room was very low.

Of course Phil Jackson would not consider surrendering. He only lost by 23 points at halftime. He had experienced it with the Bulls, and it was in the finals.

Kobe would never surrender. Even if his morale was shattered by Zhou Quan, he never thought about giving up. Like Jordan, the word "give up" was not in his dictionary, and he had to play even if he lost.

O'Neal was not willing to give in. He did not want to bear the nickname "The King of Sweeps."

So although the morale of the Lakers is low, because of these three people, it is not so low that it collapses or gives up the game. After all, it is only 23 points, ten points in one quarter, and there should be a chance to come back in the second half. It is not desperate. when.

O'Neal took out a big burger from the closet and started to gnaw on it, finishing half of it in just a few bites.

Kobe said unhappily: "Shaq, you have a good appetite!"
