Chapter 586: Bullshit showing off wealth
"Alas, this year I invested with Iron Fist and only made more than 1000 million, not as much as last year! Guys, what about you?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.

"I just started investing with him, and I only made more than 200 million. Karim, you have to treat me." The assassin said with an envious look.

At this time, Rodman came over with his blond hair shaking, and said with a smile: "Do you make so little? My Amazon and Exquisite Coffee stocks have increased by more than 3000 million US dollars in one year. I can make money just by lying on those girls' beds." ,Ha ha!"

Reggie Miller laughed and scolded: "Dear Chong, this bastard made a lot of money with Iron Fist. Now he is a billionaire, right? I invested with him and only made a total of more than 2000 million."

"A billionaire? Sorry, I have been one for a long time." Rodman said with a smile.

"damn it!"

Surrounded by a bunch of bullshit showing off their wealth, Barkley wanted to run away.

……

At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Philadelphia: Mutombo, Te'lon Hill, Jumaine Jones, Aaron McGee, Allen Iverson

SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Rashard Lewis, Bowen, Corey Maggette, Zhou Quan

NBC broadcast the game live nationwide, with commentators Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson.

"The numbers team is unlucky. Main point guard Eric Snow is injured, main small forward George Lynch is injured, and main power forward Ratliff is out for the season. Their opponent is the SuperSonics, which has won 71 games. In this finals There’s really no suspense,” Elgin Baylor said.

Robertson nodded and said: "On the contrary, the Sonics have basically recovered from their injuries, and God is on the side of the Sonics."

"Oscar, if Philadelphia has a complete lineup, do you think there will be any suspense in this finals?" Elgin Baylor suddenly asked.

Robertson was startled, thought for a moment and shook his head: "If Ratliff were here, he and Mutombo would team up to become the leader in blocks and rebounds. They could be called one of the most powerful interior defensive combinations in the league. On defense, It can be compared to Duncan and David Robinson.

If he were here, it would be more difficult for the SuperSonics to break through from the outside.But I don’t think this will be a problem for King of Iron Fist. King of Iron Fist’s mid-range shot is too stable.

But there is no doubt that Ratliff will make Philadelphia stronger. He will increase Philadelphia's code and make it more difficult for the Sonics to score.

If Eric Snow is here, the Iron Fist King should still choose to defend Iverson, but Snow's ability to organize assists is not comparable to Aaron McGee. Snow can make Iverson willingly play without the ball. It can make Philadelphia's offense more reasonable.

But now that he is gone, the Iron Fist King has locked up Iverson, and Aaron McGee is responsible for the organization, the digital team's offense will weaken.

In short, if all three of them are healthy, I think the Digital Team will probably still lose to the Sonics, but it shouldn't be without any suspense. "

Elgin Baylor nodded and said: "The current situation, judging from Iverson's words, Snow is not here, he will not give up the ball, he will attack with the ball."

"I think even if Snow is here, he may choose to attack with the ball." Robertson said.

Elgin Baylor was startled, thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, there is little hope of winning, so his choice is to challenge the Iron Fist King and prove his personal worth."

……

In the player tunnel, the two teams started.

Iverson arrived first, and when he saw Zhou Quan leading his team over, he eagerly said: "Iron Fist King, here I come."

Zhou Quan came over and stretched out his right fist, smiled and said: "Allen, welcome to the finals."

3 minutes later, the home team started the game.

"Defending the title! Defending the title! Defending the title... Iron Fist King! Iron Fist King! Iron Fist King..."

Starting from the first appearance of Ben Wallace, overwhelming shouts began. Until Zhou Quan appeared, the shouts began to slowly change and gradually became a unified voice.

At 08:30, the game officially started.

Ben Wallace and Mutombo jump the ball, and the numbers team attacks.

Allen Iverson received the ball and Zhou Quan stood in front of him. He immediately changed direction to the right, accelerated his speed and crossed the center line, holding the ball to the right wing.

"Ouch, is Iverson going to single out Zhou Quan?" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

"The courage is commendable." Xu Jicheng said.

"In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Zhou Quan stole Kobe Bryant 9 times in a single game. I don't know how many times he will steal Iverson today." Zhang Lili said expectantly.

Iverson is very aware of the dangers of holding the ball in front of the Iron Fist King, but he is not Kobe. His defense is poor, but he is faster than the Iron Fist King and has better ball-holding breakthrough skills than Kobe. He thinks that he He won't be intercepted as many times as Kobe.

When he was close to the three-point line, he suddenly crossed his body and changed direction. Like a butterfly passing through flowers, he took a step forward and then pulled back, and then shot a jumper instantly.

"Three points!" Zhang Lili exclaimed.

Zhou Quan flew to block the shot, and Iverson jumped very high. His finger almost touched the ball, but he still missed it.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, the ball still missed.

Ben blocked Mutombo, Lewis grabbed the backcourt rebound and threw it to Zhou Quan, who immediately took the ball and went down quickly.

Iverson ran in front, a little faster than Zhou Quan, but his speed was limited.

Moreover, his running cannot achieve the purpose of defense at all, because in this case, the most important thing is to suppress Zhou Quan's advancement speed, but he does not, so his running is only a companion run, with defensive significance. Not big.

Zhou Quan pushed forward with all his strength, just like when he played against the Lakers. The purpose was to exclude Mutombo from Philadelphia's defensive system through a rapid offensive and defensive transition rhythm, forming a short-term situation of using more to defeat small.

Mutombo's defense is even better than that of O'Neal, and the Sonics need to play fast breaks more than when they played the Lakers.

From the left wing to the frontcourt, Zhou Quan immediately changed direction to the center without slowing down.

Although Iverson was running in front, he was only running in front and could not stop Zhou Quan's advancement.When Zhou Quan reached the top of the left arc, Iverson flashed to the left and tried to steal the ball. Shooting guard Aaron McGee, who was returning from the center to defend, reached out from the right to steal the ball. The two formed a trap at the left end of the free throw line. .

But he was well prepared. He instantly pulled up the ball while blasting the ball with his right hand, dodged the attack of the two men, entered the penalty area, and then took off.

"boom!"

A one-handed dunk, and the Digital Team's basket was instantly exploded.

"Oh hoo!"

A carnival immediately broke out in the Central Gymnasium.

Numbers team attack.

Iverson once again held the ball on the right three-point line for a solo shot.

This time, Zhou Quan no longer defended passively, but actively defended. He stretched out his arms, stepped forward to press, and engaged in physical confrontation.

He looked almost twice as big as Iverson. Iverson was only 75 kilograms and 9 centimeters tall. He completely covered him like an eagle catching a chicken.

Allen Iverson reacted very quickly. He didn't want to have any physical contact with Zhou Quan at all. He immediately took a step back while dribbling the ball. After dribbling with his hips, he switched to his left hand to control the ball. He lowered his body and tried to rush from the left side.

Under Zhou Quan's prejudgment, he moved ahead of schedule and came first. Iverson hit him in the abdomen and lost control of the ball.

"Oh!"

He stepped forward and pushed Iverson to the ground, pulled the ball up from the floor with his right hand, and immediately started to play quickly.

Iverson didn't ask the referee for a foul. He got up and chased after him, but how could he do it in time?
When Zhou Quan reached the left midfielder, Aaron McGee, who was returning from the top of the key to defend, caught up with him. He casually moved back and the basketball flew to the free throw line.

Aaron McGee, who rushed to the basket, turned around and saw that Corey Maggette had already flown towards him with the basketball and hurriedly stepped aside.

"boom!"

Corey Maggette hit a tomahawk chop, once again detonating the Central Gymnasium.

The third time Iverson held the ball in singles, it was still on the right three-point line.

This time, Zhou Quan once again changed his defensive method to aggressive defense.

Aggressive defense is more proactive and more oppressive than active defense. The extremely fast poking action made Iverson's nerves tense and he could only dribble and retreat.

But Zhou Quan had already anticipated Iverson's retreat, took a step in time, continued to press, and poked the ball for the second time, quickly and accurately.

Iverson, whose footing was not stable, had to dribble back for the second time. He was already far away from the three-point line. If he retreated further, he would reach the midline.But he still couldn't get rid of Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan followed up again and reached out to poke the ball for the third time.

This time, Iverson was forced to turn around to protect the ball, and then turned right to break through.

However, Zhou Quan once again accurately predicted Iverson's intention, moved sideways in time, and Iverson bumped into him again.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan knew the ball's position and trajectory clearly. He leaned over and pulled the ball over instantly, completing the steal of Iverson for the second time.

"boom!"

Three seconds later, Zhou Quan ended the counterattack with a dunk.

"Ho... ho..."

Iverson was panting, not from fatigue, but from stress.

He has been in the league since 96, because this is the first time he has the opportunity to play in the playoffs with Zhou Quan in the Eastern Conference, and it is also the first time he has the opportunity to experience Zhou Quan's defensive intensity in the playoffs.

Suffocating, the defensive pressure that suffocated him, he felt that the Iron Fist King's defense was like a tide, one after another, giving him no chance to breathe.

He had never experienced this kind of defensive intensity in the regular season. In just three attacks, the psychologically devastating defensive pressure made him feel breathless.

"Three offenses and two interceptions. I feel that in this finals, Iverson can really start to pay attention to defense." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"He can't beat Zhou Quan. He has a certain speed advantage over Zhou Quan, but it's not big. Zhou Quan is also very fast. Zhou Quan's confrontation advantage is too great. As soon as his body comes into contact, his technical moves will go wrong. Shape." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Liji nodded and said: "If Iverson wants to break through Zhou Quan, he will never be able to break through in one step. He has to take one more step and two steps to break through.

His body is almost half as wide as Zhou Quan's. With Zhou Quan's lateral speed and defensive skills, it is difficult for him to get around.

The steal just now was the same as the first steal. Although he was faster, his stride was small. When he took the second step, Zhou Quan had already moved sideways and established a defensive position first.

Zhou Quan's shoulder width is a big advantage at the No. 97 position. In addition, he has a lot of meat. After his weight reaches 51 kilograms, Jordan, who has the same shoulder width of [-] centimeters, is not as wide as him. He has a real door panel figure. This is a huge advantage on the defensive end, so few people can break through him, it is too difficult. "

The game continued, and Zhou Quan continued to lock Iverson.

Iverson's first score was his sixth offense with the ball. He got rid of Zhou Quan after borrowing a pick-and-roll from the three-point line, and then hit a long two-point jumper.Except for two interceptions, he went 6 for 4 from the field.

At this time, the score between the two teams was 4:12. Mutombo scored a goal from a tip-in. Philadelphia was already 8 points behind. The game had just entered the 4th minute. Although Zhou Quan's defense was strong, the offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast.

After that, Iverson rested for 2 minutes. The two teams tied at 6:16, and the digital team was 10 points behind. He started to attack with the ball again, but was intercepted again, and then made 3 of 0 shots.

With more than four minutes left in the first quarter, Iverson made 7 of 1 shots under Zhou Quan's extreme defense, was intercepted three times, and only scored two points.

At 6:21, the SuperSonics had led by as many as 15 points at home. Philadelphia called a timeout for the third time. Larry Brown was already sweating profusely.
