God of NBA point guards

Chapter 542 Three quarters are explosive
O'Neal glanced sideways at Kobe. The big fat man was still very sensitive. He heard Kobe's sarcasm and said angrily: "I scored 26 points in the half. I consumed too much and I have no energy left, so I need to replenish my energy. Kobe, you have opinions?"

Does this mean I only get 2 points?Kobe was livid with anger.

But now he doesn't have the strength and status to compete with O'Neal. O'Neal is the well-deserved boss in the Lakers. The weak have no human rights, so he can only endure it and say nothing.

Soon after, the third quarter began.

Because there was a 15-minute intermission, O'Neal lasted for another quarter, but his performance was no longer as good as the first half. He made 10 of 7 shots in 3 minutes in a single quarter, all of which were close to two-pointers. He was unable to get into the basket due to lack of physical fitness. In the next game, there was no attack at the basket, plus 5 of 1 free throws, he scored 7 points, 33 points and 10 rebounds in the three quarters.

With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, he couldn't play anymore and took the initiative to ask for a timeout.

Kobe was still locked up by Zhou Quan. He made 4 of 1 shots in a single quarter. He was intercepted twice by Zhou Quan and made three turnovers in a single quarter. He was beaten to death by defense.

And Zhou Quan, in the first 10 minutes, took crazy shots on Kobe's head, making 11 of 7 shots, including 5 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 3 free throws. He had already scored 19 points in a single quarter and 62 points in three quarters, which was a tie. His highest single-game score in the playoffs in the 97 Finals was only one point away from Jordan's 63 points.

In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "He made 31 of 23 shots, 11 of 7 three-pointers, 10 of 9 free throws, 62 points, 8 assists and 10 steals. Zhou Quan's performance today was incredible, and his desire to attack was too strong. ! The score is now 97:59, and the Lakers are already 38 points behind."

"Kobe has been completely stunned. Especially because he was intercepted 9 times by Zhou Quan and made 3 turnovers in the 11 quarters. His mentality is probably broken." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"No, judging from his appearance, he hasn't collapsed yet. This young man has a good psychological quality. He is really good. He is the successor of Jordan and one of Zhou Quan's strongest opponents in the future." Zhang Lili praised.

"Zhou Quan even killed Jordan three times in a row. Does he still care about Jordan's successor?" Xu Jicheng joked.

"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed out loud.

Xu Jicheng added: "There are still 2 minutes left in the third quarter. With Zhou Quan's performance today, this quarter will definitely break Jordan's record."

"You can interview Jordan about his mood at this time." Zhang Lili made a good suggestion.

But without his advice, some reporters at the scene had already rushed to Jordan and were interviewing him.

Among them are reporters from ESPN TV and reporters from CCTV.

ESPN's live cameras were also aimed at Jordan, and the interview process was moved to a hanging screen.

"Michael, do you think Iron Fist King has a chance to break your playoff single-game scoring record of 63 points today?" an ESPN reporter asked.

"To be honest, I feel very bitter, but I can't show it yet, lest people say I'm stingy."

Jordan forced a smile and said: "You should ask me whether he is going to break it in this quarter, or wait until the next quarter to break it."

"Haha..." Everyone who heard it laughed.

Another reporter asked: "Michael, you were swept by the Birds in the series for two consecutive years. In the previous two seasons, the Lakers were also swept by the Jazz and Spurs. Do you think the Lakers may be swept for three consecutive years? , to break your record?”

Jordan glared at the reporter with a murderous look, showing no intention of answering the question. The reporter also had a sneer on his face and was too embarrassed to ask again.

"Kobe, do you still want to go?"

Phil Jackson asked from the Lakers bench.

Kobe kept panting and wiped his sweat from time to time, but the sweat could not be wiped off at all. However, after hearing this, he said without hesitation: "I, ho, I'm not afraid of him, ho ho..."

O'Neal, who was panting even harder, turned around and glanced at Kobe. He had to admire his little brother. He was beaten 62 to [-], but his psychology didn't collapse. He was not an ordinary person!He is a cruel person!

"Shaq, what about you?" Phil Jackson asked.

"I want to rest." O'Neal said without hesitation.

Phil Jackson nodded and began to arrange manpower.

In this game, or even in this series, he has given up hope. Kobe has not been completely defeated, but he has been beaten a little by Zhou Quan's 62 points in three quarters.

On the other side, on the SuperSonics bench, Zhou Quan was also a little tired and drank an energy drink.

With a physical fitness level of 98, it is not easy to make him tired. This is the price of scoring 62 points in three quarters and locking down Kobe.

The timeout ended and Kobe stood up.

Zhou Quan also stood up. After all, he had no reason not to break Jordan's 63-point record. If he didn't play now, he might be called hypocritical.

The Lakers attack.

Fisher held the ball and advanced to the top of the arc. Kobe asked for the ball on the right wing, but he didn't give it to him and directly shot a three-pointer over Reuben Patterson.

But he missed, Ben Wallace was responsible for blocking, Rodman grabbed the rebound and threw it to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan did not make a fast break after receiving the ball, but steadily advanced to the top of the arc and began a positional battle.

"come!"

Kobe's tone was very authentic.

Zhou Quan smiled and didn't care about Kobe's attitude. After all, he scored 62 points and stole 9 times, so he wasn't allowed to lose his temper?

"squeak!"

In the next moment, he started a breakthrough, driving forward from the right, and then pulling back.

"Bastard!"

Kobe was very tired and couldn't keep up. When Zhou Quan pulled him back, his legs softened and he knelt on the floor.

"Kobe is kneeling, this is a big open space!"

When Zhou Quan made a jump shot, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Oh hoo!"

At the Staples Center, countless Angelenos cheered and applauded very enthusiastically, which was earth-shattering.

"Congratulations to the Iron Fist King. He scored 65 points in three quarters. He ranks first in individual scoring in a single playoff game in the history of the league." Bill Walton said excitedly.

"There are three consecutive 50+ games, no, two 50+ and one 60+." Laimbeer said very formulaically.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, 65 points in three quarters, 75% shooting..." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan for your ninth playoff game with 50+ points and your third with 60+ points. In terms of individual points in a single game in the playoffs, you are the best in the NBA since ancient times." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Clap clap clap..."

Before the end of the third quarter, Zhou Quan was replaced by the head coach and accepted the grand farewell applause from the home fans alone. From then on, he never played again until the end of the game.

117:85, in the end, the SuperSonics won a wild away game and the Lakers were defeated by 32 points.

"King of Iron Fist, if you play in the final quarter, can you score 100 points?" "King of Iron Fist..."

After the game, dozens of reporters flocked to the Sonics bench, and more reporters couldn't get closer and had to interview other people.

At this time, Jordan was also being interviewed on the sidelines of the court.

"Michael, you coached Kobe yesterday afternoon, and then Kobe was beaten 65:4 by the Iron Fist King. What do you think of the effect of this coaching?" A reporter from the New York Times asked.

"Guidance effect?"

Hearing this question, the expression on Jordan's face suddenly became wonderful, and then turned darker than Kobe's face, comparable to a black hole. He stared at the reporter and cursed in his heart: "@#￥%&￥%..."

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha!"

Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others couldn't help laughing when they heard this question.

"Kobe, what did you gain from the live teaching of King of Iron Fist?"

"Shaq, are you confident you can avoid getting swept?"

"Shark, are you confident you can avoid being swept for the third time in a row?"

"Kobe, do you still have the confidence to challenge the Iron Fist King in the future?"

"Shaq, do you like the nickname King of Sweeps?"

"Kobe, do you have any feelings about the nickname "Swept King"?

Several reporters caught up with Kobe and O'Neal as they hurried toward the tunnel, and asked them some very uncomfortable questions.

"boom!"

The two rushed into the locker room, and the teammates behind them also filed in. Phil Jackson, who came in last, closed the door.

"I really want to stuff them into the basket." O'Neal said angrily.

"Iron Fist?" Harper asked casually.

O'Neal was startled and hummed: "One day I will put him in the basket."

AC Green sighed: "The Iron Fist King was too strong tonight, no one can beat the SuperSonics if we encounter him like this.

Even if Chamberlain climbed out of the grave and teamed up with Michael Jordan, I don't think he could win tonight's Iron Fist Championship. "

Tyronn Lue said: "Ace, I can't see it, right?"

AC Green glanced at O'Neal and Kobe, shook his head and didn't answer. He didn't want to hit the OK combination anymore.

In his opinion, Jordan would have to kneel down when he met the god-like Iron Fist King tonight, and the Shark's dominance was definitely not weaker than Chamberlain. If Zhang and Qiao teamed up, they really might not be able to win the Iron Fist King tonight.

Rick Fox said with a smile: "The Iron Fist King is only 28 years old. I think he still has many years to reach his peak. Maybe like Jordan, he will still be at his peak when he retires."

Glenn Rice cursed and said: "Shet! How can he have Jordan's physique? Maybe his body will collapse in two years."

Fisher said with a worried look on his face: "If it's true what Rick said, then our Lakers will be as unlucky as the Bulls."

Veteran Brian Shaw said: "Without the Iron Fist King, Jordan would have won at least six or seven championships, and the dynasty is certain. He is indeed unlucky."

His teammates were talking a lot, but Kobe said nothing, his face as gloomy as the sky before a thunderstorm.

He did not take off his equipment, but took out a basketball from the closet and rubbed it in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Kobe like this, O'Neal knew that this little brother should be the saddest person tonight. He patted Kobe on the shoulder and comforted: "Forget it, Kobe, Iron Fist is really powerful. It's normal that you can't beat him. Just get used to it." .”

"I can't get used to it."

Like a detonated bomb, Kobe stood up from his chair and shouted with excitement, grief and anger: "Sooner or later I'm going to hit 60+ on his head, 60+ in three quarters, and sooner or later I'm going to guard him against 4 in three quarters." I, Kobe Bryant, do what I say."

The locker room fell silent. In their opinion, Kobe's wish should have a chance to be fulfilled after the Iron Fist King turns 40, if the Iron Fist King has not retired by then.

It's not that they don't believe in Kobe's potential, it's just that tonight's Iron Fist King left a too deep impression on them.

……

"With 65 points in three quarters, he ranks first in individual scoring history in a single game in the NBA playoffs. The Iron Fist King performed the biggest show time performance at Staples Center!" Los Angeles Times.

"The King of Iron Fist scored 65 points in three quarters, massacring Kobe, but Peter Pan did not lose his energy. He withstood the pressure and killed everyone in the final quarter. He made 10 of 5 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws in a single quarter. He scored 15 points and finished the game with a double-double of 19 points and 11 turnovers." Cleveland Honest reported.

"The Iron Fist King scored 65 points in three quarters, and the Lakers were defeated by 28 points at home. O'Neal scored 41 points, Kobe 19 points, and the OK combination contributed 60 points, but they were still unable to save the situation." Los Angeles Sports News.

"The SuperSonics are about to sweep the Lakers. If the Lakers are swept again in the series, it will create history. It will become the only team in league history to be swept in the series for three consecutive years." Seattle Post.

"If they are swept three times in a row, the Lakers will become the well-deserved king of sweeps." Detroit Daily News.

"The Iron Fist King showed mercy to the Lakers. If he doesn't leave the game in the final quarter, he will definitely score 100 points in a single game, comparable to the Basketball King." The Seattle Times.

"Jordan: Kobe, 65:4, now you know how effective my guidance is? Kobe: God, for $100 million, can you let me go back to the time before Jordan coached me?" New York Times.

"65:4, this is the Jordan coaching effect." Detroit Daily Worker.

The next day, May 5, after seeing the news reports from the media, Old Bass, who had stayed up all night, was no longer in the mood to have breakfast.

The OK team that he has high hopes for is about to be swept three times in a row, no, it is swept three times in a row. If the Lakers get the nickname "King of Sweeps", he will be depressed to death.

The little Bass also looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to relieve their old father's depression.

"Jerry, try to avoid being swept, we Lakers can't be a joke." He called Jerry West and said.

"Boss, I have talked with Phil Jackson repeatedly, but he seems to lack confidence." West sighed.

"Jerry, the Sonics completed their dynasty on the Bulls' head. Facing the Iron Fist King, Phil Jackson's confidence does not seem to be enough. He should be scared by the Iron Fist King." Jerry Buss sighed.

"This is indeed possible."

Jerry West sighed secretly. He was the one who advocated the introduction of Phil Jackson. This seemed to be another mistake of his. He hoped it would not cause the boss to distrust him.

He thought for a while and said: "Boss, we can't beat the SuperSonics. It's not that we are too weak. We also have the second-best record in the league. It's because the Iron Fist King is too strong."

Jerry Buss couldn't help but sigh when he thought about Zhou Quan's performance last night: "Are you really optimistic about Kobe?"

Jerry West said firmly: "Kobe may not reach the height of Jordan, and he may not reach the height of the Iron Fist King, but I think he will become the best defender in the league after Jordan and the Iron Fist King."
