In the TNT commentary box, Larry Bird said at this time: "Jordan made 15 of 32 shots, 46.9% shooting, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, 43 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.
Iron Fist made 13 of 27 shots, a shooting percentage of 48.1%, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 13 of 13 free throws. He scored 41 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 8 steals, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. "
Magic Johnson said: "Congratulations to the SuperSonics for winning the G3 game. Now we are leading two to one. There are two more home games to follow. We are leading the series."
Larry Bird chuckled and said: "The shooting percentages of the two are similar, and the same goes for free throws, points, blocks, three-pointers, blocks, turnovers, and fouls, but Iron Fist is far ahead of Michael in assists and steals.
And in the last critical minute, he also established the victory with two consecutive steals. One of them was a head-on steal of Jordan during a fast break. "
Magic Johnson sighed: "Iron Fist made another 8 steals. It can be said that the SuperSonics won this game because of his 8 steals."
At this time, Zhou Quan was being interviewed, and some other stars were also being interviewed by the media.
"Kareem, Bill, Reggie, how would you describe Iron Fist's stealing ability?" A reporter interviewed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shook his head in admiration and said: "The hand of the Iron Fist, oh, the hand of God. If he targets your ball, you'd better give it to him happily, otherwise his hand will take it by himself, and you don't have it at all." Ways to reject God’s will.”
"The hand of God," Bill Walton added.
"The strongest steal king in the universe." Reggie Miller also provided his own opinion.
O'Neal, Smiling Assassin, Joe Dumars, Grant Hill and others were on the side. After hearing the words of these three guys, I couldn't help but sigh at how strong the cohesion of UCLA was. They boasted about their alumni to the point of being shameless.
"Assassin, what do you think?"
The reporter put the microphone in front of Thomas.
The assassin immediately said: "Iron Fist's stealing is the taboo of God."
Zhou Quan, who was being interviewed, was only three meters away. Hearing what these people said, they were already blushing. At this time, they finally couldn't help but turned around and shouted: "Hey, guys, stop bragging about me. I’m a human being and I can expand.”
"Pfft! Haha..."
Several people around laughed.
"Hey, do you think you've won the championship?"
"Do these bastards think Michael is destined to lose?"
"That is, Michael will definitely kill the Sonics just like he did in last year's finals."
Seeing Zhou Quan and others laughing wantonly, Dameng, Buckley and others said angrily.
The Bulls had returned to the visiting team's locker room at this time and lost the game. Jordan didn't say a word and the atmosphere was very bad.
Phil Jackson summarized the situation of the game and said: "Including this game, in the first three games of the series, we have always implemented a double-teaming tactic against Iron Fist after breaking into the penalty area. Tonight's defensive effect was the best..."
Having said this, he glanced down at the statistics table in his hand, then looked up and said: "He was only allowed to shoot 46.4% from the field, which shows that our defensive tactics really limited his personal offense.
However, in terms of limiting passes, it is not good enough. He still sent out 10 assists. If other Sonics players can hit a few more open balls, his number of assists will be higher. It should be said that our double-teaming is very important to him. The passing of the ball creates very few restrictions.
But generally speaking, our defensive tactics are still correct. When they enter the penalty area, we implement fast and fierce flank attacks, and quickly rotate outside to cover the gaps. Our defensive tactics are very similar to theirs.
The reason for losing tonight was not a problem with our defensive tactics, but our offensive tactics. Our offensive tactics are also limited by their defense. What ultimately led to our loss was Tekken's last two steals. "
Having said this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "His stealing ability is a miracle. In the first three games of the series, he has sent a total of 21 steals, an average of 7 per game. Michael's stealing ability is also very strong, but after three games I only got up 9 times.”
After saying this, he shook his head helplessly, and the helplessness in his heart was probably overflowing.
When Jordan heard this, he couldn't hide his depression at all, and it immediately appeared on Hei Chengtan's face.
At this time, Phil Jackson said again: "I have to think about how to fight the G4 game first. Now you go take a shower first."
An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.
The Seattle Post reporter who first asked the question excitedly asked: "Iron Fist, you sent 8 steals again tonight, and averaged 7 steals per game in the finals. What makes you so brave?"
When Zhou Quan heard this question, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and then replied with a smile: "Jordan is not bad, he also has 4 steals, right? He has 4 steals, which is probably why I sent 8 steals." Motivation, haha..."
"Ha ha……"
The reporters below also laughed along.
"Iron Fist, the score is now 2-1, and there are two home games ahead. What do you think our chances of winning the match point at home are high?" the reporter continued to ask.
Zhou Quan said: "The Bulls will win two consecutive games at our home court, and the possibility of winning the match point before us is very small, unless our entire team is out of shape, so the possibility of us winning the season at home is very high. Tall, much taller than a bull.”
"Is it possible to win the G5 game?" the reporter asked excitedly.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Of course it's possible, but it's only one possibility. The Bulls are very strong, no worse than us. My attitude is still the same. As you know, I won't say more."
On the other end, a reporter asked: "Michael, as long as the Sonics win one of the next two home games, they will get the match point. Once that happens, do you think the Bulls have the strength to come back?"
"Even if they get the match point, we still have two home games. We will definitely win. There is no second result." Jordan said with an extremely paranoid attitude.
"Michael, just now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton described Tekken's tackling ability as, God's hand, God's hand, the strongest stealing king in the universe, God's taboo. How do you evaluate Tekken's tackling ability?" Los Angeles asked the next question. the daily reporter asked.
"oh!"
This sentence caused many reporters at the scene to exclaim.
Hearing that series of dazzling phrases, Jordan couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then he said: "His stealing ability is really amazing."
After saying this, he closed his mouth.
"Do you agree with these nicknames?" the Los Angeles Daily reporter asked.
Jordan shrugged coldly and said noncommittally: "Whatever. My nickname is Flying Man, but I really can't fly."
"Pfft!"
The sour answer immediately made many reporters laugh.
…
That night, Phil Jackson stayed up all night.
He was thinking about the offensive tactics of the G4 game. At the beginning, his mind was in chaos and he couldn't figure it out.
In the end, he found a clue based on Zhou Quan's game and the tactics of all teams in the league against Zhou Quan.
In fact, this thread has always been in his hands and he has been using it, that is, to let his ball carrier get rid of Zhou Quan's defense.
He watched every game of the Western Conference Finals series, watched it over and over again, and studied it over and over again. Mosaic's tactic against Zhou Quan was that whoever Zhou Quan was guarding would not hold the ball.
Although Mosaic lost, he thought this method was feasible.
Of course, Zhou Quan's steal performance in the Western Conference Finals is not weaker than that in the ongoing finals. Although Mosaic does not let the person in front of him hold the ball, he can provide a lot of steals in assisting defense.
Therefore, copying Mosaic's tactics would not work. He had to find a way to prevent Zhou Quan from assisting in defense.
After much deliberation, there is only one way, because Zhou Quan only defends one person when playing against the Bulls, and that is Jordan. In other words, Jordan can only be used to contain Zhou Quan on the weak wing, away from the ball holder, and even away from the basket, allowing Zhou Quan to continue. There is no chance to help defend the basket, which can truly limit Zhou Quan's defense.
But this involves another problem. Jordan can indeed contain Zhou Quan on the weak side, but then Jordan himself will also be separated from the Bulls' offensive system.
One pros and one cons, he couldn't calculate clearly at the moment.
…
The G4 game is on the 9th, with two days of rest in between.
On the morning of the 7th, Billy Shipyard sent his sailboat to the dock.
He was so happy that he made an appointment with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and a group of people to visit his sailboat at noon.
After O'Neill's group arrived, a group of people walked around the pier and had an eye-opening experience.
In addition to the transparent coffee room, there is also a fitness room and a game room where you can even play movies. There is also a water park next to it, with all kinds of jet skis.
Zhou Quan said with some pride: "Now in Lake Washington, at least twenty mansions are building docks like mine, all designed by me."
"This is no longer a dock, this is a water leisure room. By the way, Iron Fist, how much is your design fee?" Kareem asked with great interest.
Zhou Quan laughed and said, "It's free."
"Iron Fist, when will your yacht arrive?" asked O'Neill, who was lying in the transparent coffee room and enjoying the sunshine.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "It's almost done. It will be shipped out in a few days. However, the shipyard is on the east coast, in Miami. You have to go around a lot to get here."
"Don't forget me at the yacht party," O'Neal yelled.
"certainly."
"Iron Fist, I have made some investments recently. It was the advice given to me by Bill's father. You have contacted more wealthy people. Have you made any investments?" the assassin asked.
Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't have much cash on hand now, so I have basically invested it."
Bill Walton said with envy: "You have caught up with a good time. When we were playing, we even had to work part-time to support ourselves."
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Bill, now is the time to invest in the stock market. If you have some spare money, you can invest some."
"Which companies' stocks have you bought?" After hearing this, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came over with a coffee cup and sat next to Zhou Quan.
"There are some, but I mainly bought Microsoft in the secondary market stock investment, and the rest I mainly invested in the primary market." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"I know Microsoft's stock. It suddenly plummeted by half last month, but it has risen a lot now. Iron Fist, did you lose or make a profit?" Reggie Miller said in surprise.
Zhou Quan said speechlessly: "Reggie, that was the ex-rights after Microsoft voted to split its shares. It was not a plunge. There was a wave of stock-filling after the ex-rights."
Reggie Miller smiled and said: "I don't invest in stocks and I don't understand this. Just tell me whether it's a loss or a profit, right?"
Zhou Quan smiled and said, "I made some money."
"How much have you made? It's a good profit. I'll buy some from you." Reggie Miller said.
"Ten million," Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Ten million?"
The whole group of people were startled, including those drinking coffee and those playing games, all of them suddenly ran over.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "If Microsoft's rights-filling market continues and the price goes back to the original price, I can earn more than 10 million.
Based on the company's current and future performance, as well as its increasingly better market share, there is a chance it will return to the price before the ex-rights. "
"Can it still go up?"
"Iron Fist, you are the spokesperson of Microsoft. You must have inside information. Tell us quickly."
A group of people immediately asked all kinds of questions.
Zhou Quan curled his lips and said: "How can there be any inside information? Don't talk nonsense. Do you know that those in the rat warehouse are illegal? I only decided to invest in Microsoft based on analysis based on some public information.
If you want to invest in Microsoft now, you can buy less. After all, one-third of the shares have been filled in one month after the ex-rights. My analysis may not be accurate. After all, I am not Buffett. "
"Iron Fist, do you have any other connections? Can you introduce them?" O'Neal asked.
Zhou Quan thought for a while and said, "I recently got news that someone in Seattle is building an Internet company. The company has not been officially established yet, but it will be soon."
"What's going on?" Bill Walton asked quickly.
"Internet companies make a lot of money when they are successful, but ninety-nine out of a hundred Internet investment projects lose money and die. This is what Bill's father said. Iron Fist, are you optimistic about this project? What exactly does it do?" The assassin said.
Zhou Quan said: "I know the investor of the online bookstore and have played golf with him. I also know the name of his company, which is Kadabra.
Online bookstores are still a new thing and are very risky, but I think the idea is good and I plan to invest some money. "
"Then let me forget it. The risk is too great and it's not worthwhile. I don't have much money." Bill Walton said.
"It's better to be more stable. I'm going to open a burger chain." O'Neill shook his head.
"Iron Fist, please tell me about Microsoft's stock. I think this is more reliable than the online bookstore." The assassin said.
"I don't like reading books the most. This investment is not suitable for me." Reggie Miller said.
"Iron Fist, if you have any low-risk investments, call me. I don't have much money, so I can't invest in those high-risk investments." Jabbar said.
After lunch, Zhou Quan had just seen off O'Neal's group and was about to go back to the pier to bask in the sun. A taxi stopped at the pier and a woman wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses got out.
After the taxi left, the woman walked towards Zhou Quan.
