God of NBA point guards

Chapter 558 Olympic Gold Medal
"It's just one section, hold on! We must not have a Waterloo." Zhang Lili encouraged.

"Physical fitness is a bit difficult, so we must persevere." Sun Zhenping also encouraged.

"The US team's physical strength should be better. Except for Garnett and Mourning, their other three positions are actually not divided into main substitutes." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "Even inside, from Da Yao to Da Yao, they play a lot of time, not much less than Garnett and Mourning, but their physical fitness is not as good as Garnett Mourning. Especially Da Yao, just At 20 years old, my physical fitness has not reached its peak, and now I am a little unable to play.”

"Persistence is victory." Sun Zhenping said.

The Dream Team [-] doesn’t want to lose either. Starting from the Dream Team [-], the Dream Team has never lost a world championship. If they lose, all of them will be embarrassed.

So from the beginning of the last quarter, the Dream Team [-] launched a crazy counterattack, and everyone tried their best to attack after getting the ball.

In terms of personal ability, even if Mourning is weak in offense and strong in defense, his offensive ability is even stronger than that of someone who is strong in offense and weak in defense. This is the difference in strength and also the bonus from physical fitness.

In the first 6 minutes, the American team made 9 attacks, succeeded in 5 of them, plus two free throws, scored 12 points, and only made one mistake. It was a very good game.

The Chinese team attacked 6 times within 7 minutes, and Dayao, Dazhi, and Li Nan each made one mistake.

After three mistakes, Zhou Quan knew that his teammates were running out of energy. He stepped up and took over the offense. He made 5 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. Together with Hu Weidong, who made 2 of 1 shots, the team scored 10 points.

84:94, the Chinese team was still leading by 10 points, and the American team had the ball, so they called a timeout.

"Haha, their physical strength is running low, their mistakes have increased, and now the situation is in our favor. It doesn't matter if they are 10 points behind, they can come back with one attack wave." Barkley shouted excitedly.

Kenny Smith reminded: "Don't be careless. 10 points is not much, but the opponent is the Iron Fist King. If you are careless, a wave of attacks by the Chinese team may widen the point difference to 20 points."

Buckley glared at Smith and said angrily: "Kenny, which country are you from? You always boost your opponent's morale and destroy your own prestige."

Kenny Smith said helplessly: "Charles, I just remind you not to be careless, we are always lagging behind.

We did play well just now, but we only came back with 6 points in 2 minutes. Their physical strength is really not good, but with the Iron Fist King here, there will be no big problems in the offense. His offensive firepower alone is enough for us to drink. The pot is ready. "

"A pack of wolves kills a big bear, and we are a pack of wolves. No matter how strong the Iron Fist King is, he is just a big bear." Buckley said unconvinced.

Kenny Smith pouted, King Iron Fist was not a bear, he was a brown bear, and a brown bear in his prime. No matter how many wolves there were, they would not dare to challenge a well-fed and drunk brown bear in his prime.

The Iron Fist King did not play today. He has already scored 37 points in three and a half quarters. If he works hard in the second half, he might even have 50 points. He might even be able to break the 92 points set by Brazilian Oster in the 55 Olympics. Historical records.

Of course, this possibility is very small, after all, there are only 4 minutes left.

After the timeout, the game restarted with 4 minutes left.

The U.S. team sent a lineup of Mourning, Raheem, Ray Allen, Alan Houston, and Tim Hardaway to give Garnett a breather.

The Chinese team entered the lineup of Da Zhi, Bart, Hu Weidong, Zhang Jinsong, and Zhou Quan. Da Yao couldn't play anymore, so he was given 2 minutes to breathe.

"You are responsible for the defense, leave the offense to me." Before going on the field, Zhou Quan said to Da Zhi and the others.

The American team serves the ball from the frontcourt sideline, and the Chinese team plays a three-two defense, that is, three people on the upper line and two on the lower line.

Zhou Quan is stationed in a high position and can help defend the left, right, upper and lower positions, filling in gaps in the team's defensive formation.

Rahim served, and Houston on the left wing retreated to the three-point line to get the ball.

Zhou Quan immediately moved to the left end of the free throw line, and when the ball came out, he had already pounced on it.

As soon as Alan Houston received the ball, Zhang Jinsong had already come up to press, and Zhou Quan had already jumped two steps away and cut off the passing line between Alan Houston and Ray Allen at the top of the key.

Alan Houston didn't dare to deal with the Iron Fist King's double-team, so he had to lob the ball to Ray Allen, and Zhou Quan immediately turned around and pounced on Ray Allen.

Ray Allen just received the ball and Zhou Quan returned to defend in place. He had to immediately pass it to Tim Hardaway on the right three-point line.

Hu Weidong, who was guarding the right elbow area, immediately pounced on Tim Hardaway, creating an opportunity for Zhou Quan to double-team.

Tim Hardaway is quite stubborn. After catching the ball, Zhou Quan's double-team was almost around him. He did not choose to pass the ball, but attacked with the ball himself.

After a false shot, he dribbled around Hu Weidong in front and started to break through from the outside.

Hu Weidong turned around and chased. Zhou Quan did not continue to double-team, but retreated to the right elbow area, blocking Tim Hardaway's breakthrough route to the penalty area. It also blocked the angle from which he could pass the ball to the penalty area. Can only drop the ball.

At this time, the Chinese team's zone defense formation had moved to the right, and the penalty area was quickly filled with people. After Tim Hardaway took two steps against Hu Weidong, he saw that there was no way to break through, so he chose to make a strong shot.

"boom!"

The jump shot missed, the basketball rebounded and was grabbed by Zhou Quan who rushed in.

"The most severe limitation of zone defense is the breakthrough from the outside..." Zhang Lili said.

"Okay, Zhou Quan is going down, and he looks very energetic. Beautiful..." Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

During the transition between offense and defense, Zhou Quan continuously changed directions, fought his way out of the crowd, and entered the frontcourt. When he reached the penalty area, only Ray Allen and Alan Houston were left beside him.

"brush!"

"Di!"

The two men couldn't stop his layup. During the double block, he scored the goal with a pull shot and caused a foul on Ray Allen's hand.

"At the critical moment, Zhou Quan is still strong and worthy of reliance." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan then hit an extra free throw and tied the score to two plus one.

"84:97, we are 13 points ahead." Zhang Liji said.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, 40 points." Xu Jicheng said happily.

The American team still played fast, focusing on the weakness of the Chinese team's lack of physical fitness.

"brush!"

Ray Allen moved forward quickly with the ball, and when he reached the three-point line on the left wing, he suddenly stopped for a jumper and hit a three-pointer.

"Be careful, Zhou Quan can guard against Ray Allen first and don't let his shooting touch come out." Zhang Lijia reminded immediately.

When the Chinese team attacked, Zhou Quan did not follow the rhythm of the American team in fast break. He pressed the rhythm and came to the top of the arc. He waited until 22 seconds before suddenly pulling up and hitting Ray Allen on the head. Pull out three points.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Pretty!"

Zhang Lili and three others shouted excitedly at the same time.

Kenny Smith shook his head and said: "According to my understanding of the King of Iron Fist, the stability of his state during the game is actually his most powerful ability.

Even if he doesn't perform well in a certain game, his lower limit is very high, and it won't be ridiculously bad. In most games, he can perform at a higher or very high level, even just in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. 50+ points in four consecutive games.

So we have to be prepared. In the next 3 minutes, Tekken will still be able to perform very well. "

"boom!"

Zhou Quan defended Ray Allen and Alan Houston took over the offense. He passed to Mourning. Mourning singled out Bart and failed to make a shot.As big as grabbing a rebound, Zhou Quan advanced to the frontcourt, but the slow pace was still full. At the 21st second, he suddenly lowered his body and made a breakthrough with all his strength.

"squeak!"

But the next moment, he braked.

"It's over!"

Ray Allen's feet failed to follow and fell directly to the floor.

Withdrawing his right foot and retreating outside the three-point line, Zhou Quan took another three-point shot. This time it was an absolute wide-open jumper.

"brush!"

The water splashed and he hit another three-pointer.

"46 points, this is strength. If I attack you, you have to retreat. If you don't retreat, I will attack. If you retreat, I will retreat." Zhang Lili laughed.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "If you don't have the ability to break through with the ball, you can't knock people down. How dare Ray Allen ignore Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball?"

"It's 16 points now, let's see how the US team chases after it?" Sun Zhenping said with great excitement.

Tomjanovich feels very powerless. No one in the league can guard against the Iron Fist King. What should he do?
He could only find an opportunity to replace Kidd and Payton, and return to the dual point guard strategy. While strengthening perimeter defense, he also regained his organizational skills.

But it was useless. The U.S. team had been playing man-to-man tactics. This defensive tactic could not guard Zhou Quan on the outside. Zhou Quan still attacked with all his strength, getting whatever he wanted from the U.S. team.

Although the U.S. team also took advantage of the Chinese team's lack of physical fitness and reduced defense, they continued to score points, and the efficiency was not low, but it was still not as efficient as Zhou Quan's offensive efficiency. The point difference not only did not narrow, but also widened.

With 1 minute left in the game, Zhou Quan hit another three-pointer and a two-pointer. When the game had already scored 51 points, the Chinese team already led by 18 points. The American team gave up the attack and also gave up the championship.

"Di!"

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, 92:107, and the Chinese team won.

"Oh hoo!"

"Champion! Olympic champion, we won, we won!"

"Hahaha, we are champions, we are Olympic champions..."

The Chinese team cheered instantly. From the audience to the bench, from the commentary box to the podium, from the Chinese and international students in the stadium to countless Chinese people in the country, everyone was unhappy and excited.

"Clap clap clap..."

The stadium burst into warm applause.

"Zhou Quan deserves the most credit for this championship and this gold medal." Zhang Lili said with tears in his eyes.

徐计成激动地道：“周权打满四10分钟，27投19中，其中三分球10投6中，末节三分球6投4中，最后4分钟三分球3投3中，加上7罚7中，投篮命中率高达70.4%，其中两分球的命中率高达76.5%。

By the way, he also had 8 assists, 3 steals, 5 blocks and 3 rebounds. His performance today was to win the championship. "

On the field, except for Zhou Quan, Liu Yudong and other veterans had already burst into tears. Even Zhou Quan's eyes were burning.

This championship gives him a completely different feeling from winning an NBA championship. No matter how valuable the championship is, it is his personal honor and achievement, and this championship gives him a sacred feeling, closely connected with the country and more than a billion people. Closely connected, the sense of honor far exceeds that of the NBA championship.

After some celebrations, there was a ceremony to award awards and raise the national flag.

Samaranch personally presented the medals and said to Zhou Quan with a smile: "Zhou, will you be able to participate in the 112th Plenary Session of the Olympic Committee next year? I would like to hear your speech for your country's Olympic bid."

"Definitely, Mr. Samaranch." Zhou Quan said seriously with a smile.

When the majestic March of the Volunteers sounded, the five-star red flag rose slowly, and the stadium was filled with the chorus of many people.

……

On October 10, Zhou Quan returned to the capital with the team.

There will be a series of celebration activities later, as well as a trip to Xiangcheng. He attended a national celebration banquet held at the Great Hall of the People on the [-]th. He has asked for leave for other activities. He has to let himself rest more and prepare for the next one. Preparing for the season.

"Old Liu, have you considered what I told you? If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you first, so you don't have to pay it back in a hurry. I'm telling you, your legs won't last much longer."

On the 5th, he contacted Liu Yudong by phone.

"I'm afraid that the operation will be over. I have been practicing since I was a child and can only play basketball. If I can't play games in the future, what else can I do?" Liu Yudong's tone was full of loneliness.

"How long can you last like this?" Zhou Quan asked.

Liu Yudong was silent for a while and then said: "With Da Zhi gone, I still want to support Bayi for a few more years."

"OK then."

When encountering a person with a will as strong as iron, Zhou Quan would not be able to persuade him.

Zhou Quan contacted Hu Weidong again and asked, "Old Hu, how is your injury?"

Hu Weidong said depressedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. After playing in the Olympics, my injury will never get better."

Zhou Quan said decisively: "Forget it, then you can stay in China and play in the CBA. If you go to the NBA, the intensity of competition there is far higher than that in China. Even if you are physically unable to play 82 regular season games in a season."

After ending the phone call with Hu Weidong, he contacted Da Zhi again.

……

On October 10, the Zhou family flew to Los Angeles together, along with Da Zhi.

Zhou Jun and Zeng Yu traveled around the world after getting married. Now they have returned to Los Angeles and are reinvesting in their studies.

Zhou Ye returned to Seattle at the end of September, and university had already started.

Cousin Zhou Ling, like Zhou Ye, is also at Seattle University. Like Zhou Ye, she sleeps at home at night instead of living on campus.

As much as the next day, accompanied by Roger Philippe, he went to report to the Mavericks. Zhou Quan and his family stayed in Los Angeles for two days and returned to Seattle on the afternoon of the 10th.

At this time, the NBA preseason began, but he did not participate and continued to rest at home.

"Lingling, do you still feel comfortable here?"

That evening, Zhou Ling and Zhou Ye went home for dinner, and Zhou Quan asked.

"Brother, I'm okay, I just can't get used to the school food." Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Zhou Quan nodded and said: "Don't talk about you, I'm not used to it after so many years, and I don't like it at all."

"Hehe, but I only have lunch at school, so that's okay." Zhou Ling said with a smile.

"Lingling, eat quickly. After eating, I will take you to the lake to play." Zhou Ye urged.

"Uh-huh."
