God of NBA point guards

Chapter 562 What is my personality?
McGrady collected his mood, exhaled a breath, suddenly stood up, and shot a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan naturally knows Tracy McGrady and knows that he has a hand to pull out, so he is prepared in his mind, and he immediately reacts defensively in the next moment.

He doesn't block the ball. McGrady's shoes are 206 centimeters tall, the same as Pippen, 15 centimeters taller than him, with a wingspan of 218, 16 centimeters longer than him. His bounce should reach one meter, and he can jump better than him. The difficulty of the ball is too high.

What he blocked was his eyes, which was much less difficult than blocking the ball. Not only was he high, but he also had more time to block the shot. When a big hand covered McGrady's face, McGrady could only make a blind shot.

McGrady was surprised how the Iron Fist King's defensive reaction was so fast and could actually keep up with his pull-up.

You must know that the dry pull is very difficult to defend. There is no preparation for the dry pull, and it is impossible for ordinary defenders to keep up with the rhythm.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the board directly, missing the basket.

Da Ben grabbed the rebound and threw it to Zhou Quan.

Of course McGrady can only guard Zhou Quan at this time and cannot run away.

Moreover, after Zhou Quan defended a goal, he also wanted to get it back from Zhou Quan and defend the Iron Fist King. This idea also made him very excited.

Zhou Quan changed direction twice in a row and pushed to the right wing of the frontcourt. After reaching the three-point line, he wanted to test McGrady's defense.

"Pumpkin head, I will pull one out, please pay attention." Zhou Quan warned.

"Oh ho, the trailer for King of Iron Fist is on."

"But who is Pumpkinhead? Maddie?"

At this time, a media reporter sitting on the floor outside the sideline cheered, and the camera in his hand began to click.

Maddie was startled and quickly cheered up [-]%.

Of course he knows the trailers for King of Iron Fist. Those trailers are indispensable classics in famous NBA scenes, and they are classics among classics.

But he didn't understand how the King of Iron Fist did a pull-up, because the ball was now in a dribbling state, not a ball-joining state. If the King of Iron Fist wanted to do a pull-up, he had to combine the ball first.

"I'm not worthy of the King of Iron Fist's deception. The King of Iron Fist said that a dry pull must be a dry pull, so the ball is the time for me to take off and block the shot."

At this moment, his nerves were completely tense.

"Boom... bang... bang..."

There was no change in Zhou Quan's dribbling rhythm.

But every time he touches the ball, he is looking for a feel, the kind of feeling that can completely slam the basketball in an instant.

As long as he feels like he can smash the ball, that's when he gets up to speed.

The next moment, the ball bounced off the floor as usual and fell into Zhou Quan's right hand.

"Have it!"

The moment he touched the ball, he grasped it with five fingers and it was firm.

The next moment, according to the original rhythm, he would continue dribbling, but instead of dribbling, he stepped up with his left foot, and the strength in his waist and abdomen exploded instantly, and he jumped up.

"what?"

McGrady didn't react at all. When he saw the Iron Fist King rising from the ground in front of him, he was stunned. Iron Fist King, why don't you hit the ball?
Zhou Quan's jump was not high, fifty centimeters at most, but it was enough because McGrady didn't take off and didn't even have time to stretch his arms. He was using his eyes to defend.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Beautiful! This is a great move! This is the first time I have seen such a move while dribbling on the spot." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Only those with big hands like Zhou Quan can do it, haha!" Xu Jicheng laughed.

"Pumpkinhead, have you learned?" Zhou Quan asked McGrady with a smile as he retreated.

"I learned it. Grab the ball with one hand and pull it up. No defender can keep up with your rhythm." McGrady said with admiration.

"It's not easy for you to learn. It's okay to grab the ball with one hand and pull it out, but if you combine the ball before taking the shot, your current shooting skills are not good enough." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

McGrady nodded. The King of Iron Fist's kick was just before the shot. He didn't make any adjustments at all. He shot immediately after the kick. He couldn't do it. He needed to adjust.

Is this the skill of the current No. 1, the god of point guards?He was greatly shocked and wanted to own this technology very much.

Zhou Quan looked at Maddie's face and smiled.

The most exquisite and advanced thing about his shot just now was that he shot directly without making any adjustments after combining the ball.

That's the feeling after mastering the basic shooting skills. It all depends on the adjustment of the wrist and fingers at the moment of release. It is impossible for ordinary people to reach his level, not even Jordan.

Now if defenders want to guard him, they must make small moves, just like Kobe Bryant guarded him in the Western Conference Finals. Only by making constant small moves can he reduce his shooting percentage, otherwise his offensive efficiency will be even more terrifying.

In front of the TV, Kobe was as shocked as Tracy McGrady.

He practiced extra throughout the offseason, even ignoring his girlfriend Vanessa. He originally thought he had narrowed the distance between him and the Iron Fist King, but now it seems that he has not gotten closer or not. Anyway, he is still far behind.

Easily defeating the bad team Magic, the Sonics won four consecutive victories.

Zhou Quan only scored 25 points in this game. His offensive desire was too low and he didn't even want to attack.

He defended McGrady and made 6 of his first 17 shots. Then he slightly reduced his defensive intensity and McGrady started to score, but the efficiency was still not high. He made only 3 of [-] shots in the game.

Rashard Lewis and Corey Maggette got a lot of opportunities and were in very good shape, scoring 24 and 22 points respectively.

After the game, the Magic approached Whitsitt.

On the way back to the hotel, Whitsitt called Zhou Quan to the front where he was sitting.

Zhou Quan sat down, with Paul Westphal next to him.

"King of Iron Fist, Magic is interested in Lewis and Maggette." Whithit whispered.

Zhou Quan was startled and took a fancy to two substitute players from the SuperSonics. No, today is the starting lineup. Are the Magic so hungry now?But thinking about the Magic's current lineup, he can understand it.

Whitsitt whispered again: "They don't have much leverage. They can only use the draft pick as a bargaining chip. Next year's first-round draft pick, plus $300 million, and two role players, will be exchanged for two of our players."

"There are no restrictions on draft picks?" Zhou Quan asked in a low voice.

"It was limited to the first three, but I said no and they said yes," Whithit said.

Paul Westphal said: "I think it's still not possible. Even if they don't start, they are still very important substitutes. We can't give up the existing lineup for a lottery pick, right?"

Whithit smiled and said: "I didn't agree, I just said to think about it. Iron Fist King, Paul doesn't agree, what do you think?"

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "I agree with Paul, unless Bob, you can find someone to replace them."

Whithit nodded and said: "This is also my idea. Anyway, the trading window will not close for more than three months. There is still time. We are not in a hurry. We are just making a plan." Then he explained: "Rasha De Gang has signed a new two-year contract of 830 million yuan, so we are not afraid of him running away. Maggette is in his second year and has a rookie contract for this season and next season, but he has finished his rookie contract and we have no room for him. Therefore, some young people like him and Rashad are destined not to stay.

And he has not got the main position now, and he may have a strong desire to leave in the future, so I have to make a plan. "

"understand."

Paul Westphal said, Zhou Quan also nodded.

……

After playing the Magic, the SuperSonics came to Miami.

This fashionable city in a tropical paradise is not too friendly to the Sonics, because the Sonics just swept the Heat to win the championship in the finals. It was a bloodbath. According to NBA tradition, the two teams have also become mortal enemies.

The team's boss Mourning was reimbursed for the season due to kidney disease, which hit Heat fans again, so the Sonics' visit was met with boos.

"Miami people will not surrender. We are iron-blooded warriors and we will fight to the end!"

On the 7th, the Miami Herald used this article on its front page to welcome the arrival of the Sonics.

Zhou Quan did not hold back on the Heat, a fierce warrior. On the night of the 8th, he scored his first 50+ in a single game this season on Gary Payton, and his 13th 50+ in his career. He led his team to another bloodbath against the Heat. , leaving Miami calmly after leaving a mess.

On the 9th, the away game continues, with the SuperSonics challenging the Hornets in Charlotte.

This was a back-to-back game. Zhou Quan faced his old teammate and SuperSonics championship member Jose Hawkins.

After defeating the Hornets, the Sonics completed six consecutive victories and ranked first in the Western Conference and the entire league.

At this time, the Spurs fell behind and lost to the Suns on the 7th in an away game. The current record is 4 wins and 1 loss.

The Lakers had 3 wins and 3 losses, losing to the Jazz first and then losing to the Spurs and Mosaic on the 7th and 8th.

However, the Jazz had a good start, with 5 wins and 0 losses, keeping up with the Sonics.

Even Mosaic lost, and the young Sharks couldn't beat the old Dreams. Zhou Quan felt strange about the Lakers. What's wrong? Is it still caused by internal strife in the management?
On the 11th, the SuperSonics continued their away game to challenge the Nets.

Poor Stephon Marbury played in the Timberwolves for more than two seasons and was traded to the Nets. Here he had a bad relationship with the management and became a thorn in his side. He was in a very bad mood.

As soon as Zhou Quan arrived, Marbury called and asked to have dinner.

He agreed, and soon Marbury drove a sports car to the hotel to pick him up.

Glancing at Marbury's bluish-shaven bald head, Zhou Quan felt a little emotional. He thought about how young people like Marbury and Kobe Bryant had shaved their heads in the draft in 96. Now they are all bald. Doesn't it hurt when the razor is scraped back and forth on your head?

As Marbury drove, he said with resentment: "King of Iron Fist, the Nets may want to trade me. Those bastards in the management can't tolerate me anymore."

"Didn't you sign a 6-year, 7000 million contract? Are the Nets' management crazy? Isn't it fun to frequently trade the core of the team and rebuild every year?" Zhou Quan said a little surprised.

"They are just crazy. They say that I play very individualistically and cannot integrate into the team. I assist a lot, averaging seven or eight assists per game. Why do they say that I am independent?"

Marbury was a little excited and kept tapping the steering wheel.

Zhou Quan couldn't help but scolded: "Idiot, why are you so excited? Drive well."

"Huh? Oh, of course, okay."

Marbury was scolded and calmed down a bit.

Zhou Quan didn't want to discuss his team with Marbury, and said: "There are no people here, there are places to keep people. If the Nets don't want you, then go to other teams. What are you afraid of?"

Marbury was unconvinced and said: "But why do they call me independent? When I came to the Nets, everyone on the team was either injured or injured. There were not many healthy ones. If I didn't take action, who would take action?" ?”

Zhou Quan laughed and nodded: "Yes, this is called who else to give up. Stephen, this person must have personality. Look at the older generation of Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic, Old Barry, and Of your generation, Kobe and Iverson, which one has no personality? He has no personality, so who pays attention to him?"

Marbury's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "King of Iron Fist, you are right, I have to maintain my personality."

"Yes, so a lone wolf is a lone wolf, there is no need to be afraid." Zhou Quan said.

"King of Iron Fist, I am not a lone wolf. Being alone is not my personality." Marbury said a little unhappily.

"Then you can call me Lone Wolf instead." Zhou Quan suggested.

"..."

Marbury was speechless. Iron Fist King, you are out of your mind. I don’t want to be a lone wolf. In fact, I prefer the nickname Wolf King.

Zhou Quan said: "You don't like Lone Wolf either? Then what is your personality?"

Marbury thought for a while and said in distress: "I know that I am very strong, very powerful, and super talented. I don't put anyone in my eyes. I want to cut 50+ points on Iverson's head. If you score 100 points on your head, I want to defeat all the super giants. Is this my personality?"

Zhou Quan nodded and said: "Of course, young and frivolous, arrogant, ignorant, arrogant, childless, oh, even you, an idiot, can't understand what I'm saying. These idioms are too high-end, let me tell you something. Do you understand the words?"

"Are you angry? Haha! Iron Fist King, you don't want me to score 100 points on your head, do you? Haha, I knew you were angry, hehe... You are right, I am just young and frivolous, so what? I'm not an old man. I have super talents, so why should I not be young and frivolous? Why should I bow to them?"

Marbury was as excited as picking up money and started tapping the steering wheel again.

"Idiot! Stephen, you have gone crazy." Zhou Quan cursed.

……

After defeating the Nets, the SuperSonics rushed to Detroit overnight.

The Detroit Pistons are quite miserable. After Zhou Quan was traded, the team changed owners and their luck has not been better.

Gary Payton and Sean Kemp, who were traded, played for one season and then ran away. The talented young people behind them were trained to run one by one. Alan Houston and Grant Hill all ran away. The current record is 2 wins and 5 losses. The city is almost gone.

On the morning of the 12th, the league announced the Player of the Week for the second week, which was given to Zhou Quan this week.

On the night of the 12th, the SuperSonics defeated the Pistons and won 8 consecutive games.

In the past two days, the Jazz lost to the Heat and Spurs one after another. The Spurs lost to the Mavericks, and the distance from the SuperSonics began to widen.

On the 13th, the team returned to Seattle.

Little Zhouyuan is more than six months old and is in very good health.

After lunch, Zhou Quan carried his son to the pier to bask in the sun. His family also liked it very much and they all followed him.

He put his son on his lap with both hands, and the little guy started jumping around, his legs very strong.

"I think I'll be able to leave in two months," he said with a smile.

"It's not good to walk too early. The legs are easy to deform. Remember, Black Wife, I started walking at seven months, and then my legs turned out and became bowed." Lin Yufen said quickly.

Zhou Jianguo said: "You can walk whenever you need to. Don't teach him to walk. He will crawl and walk when he grows up."

Zhou Quan nodded. Of course he remembers Black Wife. He played with Fa Xiao when he was a child. She was one year older than him. Later he went to Changsha to study. The Fa Xiao dropped out of school and went to the mountains to blast rocks. An accident occurred and he couldn't run fast with his bandy legs. He was The falling rocks crushed him to death.
