After a dreamless night, Zhou Quan automatically woke up from sedation and looked at the time, which was nine in the morning. I slept for ten hours and felt very good.
He closed his eyes again, and did not get up immediately. Instead, he slowly allowed his body to change from a state of restrained energy to a state of release.
After lying down for three to five minutes, he felt that his energy and energy had returned, his energy and blood began to be active, his thoughts became sharper, and his energy was condensed and full, before he officially got up.
In the morning, I had an hour of free shooting training, and then I discussed with Zeng Li at the pier about opening the first branch of her coffee shop.
Zeng Li is actually not very ambitious, but she is quite motivated if she can have something to occupy her time and make money on her own.
He had lunch at 11:30, and instead of rushing to the team headquarters for training immediately, he took a half-hour nap first.
Taoism emphasizes taking a nap at noon. Medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements, and food supplements are not as good as sleep supplements. It is also said that a good night's sleep will make you feel more energetic, which shows the role of sleep.
On the evening of the 22nd, at the Seattle Center Arena, the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals began.
The format of the Western Conference Finals and the Eastern Conference Finals is a best-of-seven game system, with the home and away games being 2,2,1,1. For this G2 game, the mosaic of losing one game first is extremely desirable.
In the evening, when Isiah Thomas and Laimbeer entered the stadium, they were interviewed by some media reporters.
The assassin said: "If Mosaic can win this away game, then it can regain the advantage. If we can win two home games in Houston, it will be a match point. Even if we win one home game, we can still draw a two-to-one match." Two flat.”
When he said this, Ranbir laughed strangely.
"Bill, what do you want to say?" a reporter asked quickly.
"What good things are you thinking about? Mosaic is a giant, and the Sonics have two giants. If you want to win in the away game, you have no chance to break the head." Laimbeer said disdainfully.
"hehe……"
The assassin and a few reporters laughed.
"Are you saying that Iron Fist is sure to win? Dameng said that you and Iron Fist are on the same team. Do you admit it?" the reporter asked excitedly.
"I admit it!"
Laimbeer swore directly and said angrily: "When I said the Sonics won, it was an analysis of the situation. It didn't mean that I was in the same group as that bastard Iron Fist. This was a completely brainless logical idea.
So, with such a senseless mind, how could it be possible for that idiot Olajuwon to win against that insidious and cunning bastard Iron Fist? "
"Ahem..."
The assassin coughed twice, and after the reporters' attention shifted to him, he said: "I agree with Bill. Mosaic wants to win the team with the first player in the away game. He is dreaming."
"Who dreams?"
At this moment, a roar sounded, and it turned out to be Da Meng, and a group of Mosaic players followed behind him.
"Ranbir, assassin, you two bastards have been hacking us all day long. It's time to settle the score." Buckley walked over quickly and menacingly.
"Don't get in their way!"
"take a photo of."
Several reporters surrounding the two men immediately dispersed, fearing that they would be splashed with blood.
"Crack, click, click..."
After stepping aside, the camera lenses in their hands were flashing.
"Hurry up and call, this is his home court, we can't be beaten in vain." Ranbir hurriedly said to the assassin.
The assassin couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this. He didn't believe that these two bastards Buckley and Dameng dared to beat them in front of reporters.
As expected, Buckley was just trying to scare people. After approaching, he did not take action. Instead, he yelled fiercely: "Tell me, you two bastards, how do you solve this problem?"
The assassin cursed angrily: "It's a waste of time! I'm already clearing your name, saying that you are not in a group, and you should thank me."
Buckley was so angry that the fat on his face trembled, and he said angrily: "You said that Clyde and I hugged each other, are you trying to clear our names?"
Ranbir yelled: "I'm not your father. I've cleared your name for hugging each other. Do I still want to clear up your reputation for hugging you?"
"Pfft!"
Several reporters couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
Buckley was so angry that he clenched his fists, and was so frightened that Ranbir hurriedly dodged behind the assassin. The assassin was extremely courageous and brave as before, with his chest raised and not taking a step back.
"Ranbir, you coward, did you take the wrong medicine? Did you dare to attack Iron Fist?" Buckley cursed disdainfully.
"I dare to beat him, do you dare?" Ranbir spat back.
"I……"
Barkley was stupefied by these words, and he didn't know how to reply.
"Pfft!"
The assassin couldn't stand it now, he laughed so much that he squatted on the ground.
"Ha ha……"
Several reporters couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go, Charles."
Glider gave Buckley a hand, who looked embarrassed.
"The reporters are here, we will look for them later." Damengye came over and whispered, pulling Barkley away.
"You two bastards, this is not over yet." The embarrassed Buckley cursed and walked away.
…
At eight o'clock, the G2 game begins.
Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Eli, Drexler, Rekasner
SuperSonics: Matt Geiger, Rodman, Schrempf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan
The starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged. After the jump ball, the Sonics attacked.
"To fight against a role player like Rekas, and a role player with very average strength, Tekken will definitely be like the G1 game, strengthening personal offense and using offense to destroy the Big Three." The assassin said.
"Isiah, you promised Barkley that you would continue to clear up his bad reputation of hugging his thighs, and I will cooperate with you." Ranbir said.
"Pfft!"
The assassin laughed so hard that he leaned on the table.
"squeak!"
Zhou Quan quickly pulled from the left wing to the top of the arc, held the ball and broke through to the right elbow area, leaning down sharply to break through and suddenly stepped on the brakes.
"Bang!"
Instinctively, his feet stopped suddenly, but his upper body failed to keep up with the rhythm. The defender Rekasna fell directly to the floor.
"brush!"
Pulling the ball back, Zhou Quan stepped back to the three-point line, calmly made a jump shot, and hit a goal.
"Oh ho!"
The cheers from the home field immediately started.
"Open? Beautiful! Breaking through the emergency stop + step-back jump shot, Zhou Quan hit his first three-pointer." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"The No. 1 position is too poor. This is Mosaic's fatal flaw when facing the Sonics." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
At this time, Mosaic raised doubts, saying that it was a two-point goal, Zhou Quan stepped on the line, and the referee went over to watch the replay.
"Jordan can't guard Zhou Quan, and this player can't guard him even more."
Zhang Lili said something, and couldn't help but analyze: "It's precisely because he can't guard Zhou Quan at all, so Zhou Quan can shoot whatever he wants from the outside, and he doesn't have to bother to fight in, and he doesn't have to face Dameng." Defensively, the efficiency is still high.”
At this time the result came out, no line was crossed, still three points.
Then Mosaic attack, serve from the backcourt.
"Oh, the Iron Fist caught up with the glider and changed defense!" On-site commentator Henem Chrisman suddenly said loudly.
Glider, who had not performed well in the game, knew that he was in trouble again tonight. He quickly ran to the right sideline according to the tactical arrangement and pulled Zhou Quan over.
"ball!"
Point guard Rekas saw that and quickly asked Mario Elie for the ball.
After receiving the ball, he advanced from the left wing and was blocked by Hawkins behind the three-point line. Hawkins blocked his passing angle to the basket and the low post. Seeing this, Dameng quickly came out of the basket and asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing. He quickly hung it up.
Dameng kept shaking up and down after receiving the ball. At this time, Rodman lost Barkley in the right corner and implemented help defense.
On the right wing, Zhou Quan did not completely clear the glider. Instead, he released the glider by three meters, or two big steps, and got closer to Barkley.
Dameng chose to pass the ball, turned upward to avoid Rodman who was double-teamed from the baseline, put his left elbow against Matt Geiger, passed the ball with his right hand, and the basketball flew to the glider at fifty degrees from the right three-point line.
The moment Dameng passed the ball, Zhou Quan turned around and pounced on the glider.
At the same time, the Sonics' defensive formation also collectively moved quickly to the strong side.
"Snapped!"
Glider catches the ball.
"squeak!"
Zhou Quan arrived in two steps, jumped back in front of Glider, and swung his left hand to steal the ball. Glider was so frightened that his hands holding the ball moved to the side, and he lost the chance to catch the ball.
The next moment, Zhou Quan got close to him, and Glider could only turn around to protect the ball and retreat.
At this time, Barkley ran up, the glider twisted his body to pass the ball, and Zhou Quan pounced on Barkley again.
At this time, Schrempf had already jumped in front of the glider and completed the defense.
Barkley caught the ball and forced a shot. Zhou Quan jumped from the top to block the shot. The former adjusted his shot angle and the ball flew toward the basket.
"rebound!"
Something didn't feel right when he took the shot, and Barkley shouted after landing.
"mine."
The moment the basketball bounced off the basket, Rodman grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Dameng was held up by Matt Geiger and failed to move in time.
At this time, Zhang Lili analyzed: "With the current state of the glider, it will definitely be locked by Zhou Quan. If one of the three giants is removed, there will only be two left, which will be even harder to fight."
"I think Zhou Quan can even defend Barkley. The world boxing champion is quite powerful. He goes around to defend Barkley. Barkley is not much taller than him. His height advantage is not big. He moves relatively slowly and cannot run at all. No chance." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili was startled, and after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was really okay.
On the field, Zhou Quan received the ball and advanced, but Rekasna ran over to defend him.
"Mosaic did not change defense." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili said: "It can't be changed. Glider's speed and physical fitness are not as good as Zhou Quan's. To defend against Zhou Quan, he just uses the big one to defend against the small one. It consumes physical energy in vain and cannot achieve the defensive effect. It is better to keep the physical energy on the offensive end."
"brush!"
Zhou Quan reached the left elbow area with the ball, stopped suddenly, and once again used a 96-level step-back jumper to get rid of all defenses and hit another goal.
The assassin said with a smile: "I feel that Tekken's ability to break through and attack with the ball is getting better and better, and his shooting skills are getting better and better. This guy is still improving. He has not reached the peak point yet."
"Stop bragging, can he still score 100 points in a single game?" Laimbeer said angrily.
"Haha..." The assassin laughed.
"brush!"
Mosaic attack, Barkley singled out Rodman, arched twice and then turned over and made a jump shot.
2:5, SuperSonics offense.
Zhou Quan advanced from the left wing, blasted Recasna from outside the three-point line, reached the left elbow area, attracted Mario Elie's double-team, and then passed to Schrempf in the high post.
Schrempf missed an open jump shot. A bunch of people, including Zhou Quan who entered the basket, crowded together to grab the rebound, which was eventually obtained by Rodman.
Zhou Quan took the ball and pulled it to the left wing. When Mario Eli followed him out, he suddenly turned around and made a low jumper from the left wing, hitting one and scoring two points.
"Zhou Quan made 3 of 3 shots, he still has to do it himself!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"2:7. You still have to pass the ball. If you don't pass the ball in the open space, your teammates will be less motivated and will gradually stand and watch you play alone. Then all the defensive power will be concentrated on you alone, and the more efficient you will be. If you go lower and lower, you will not be able to win the game even if you are exhausted." Zhang Lili said.
"boom!"
Barkley took action again, singled out Rodman, but failed to hit.
Matt Geiger grabbed the rebound and threw it to Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was about to leave, but Glider, Recasna, and Mario Eli had already returned to defense in advance. When he reached the three-point line on the right wing with the ball, Recasna blocked him in the middle. Mario Eli has already pounced, and the glider on the left wing is running towards the paint area.
"Bang!"
The next moment, he broke through with the ball. The breakthrough was between Recasna and Mario Eli, the gap that had not yet been closed.
Nowadays, in the entire NBA, when it comes to the ability to break through with the ball, Zhou Quan is ranked second, and Jordan dare not be ranked first. No defender dares to remain indifferent when facing his breakthrough with the ball.
"squeak!"
Mario Eli instinctively stopped as he rushed towards him.
And Rekasna couldn't help but turn around and prepare to retreat.
But the next moment, Zhou Quan braked, dribbled back, and then took off to take a shot.
"Oh ho!"
Cheers echoed from all directions in the Central Gymnasium.
"Three points?"
Zhang Lili shouted, and the next moment, he shouted excitedly: "Hit, second three-pointer. Haha, he knocked away two defenders, and made a clean fake shot."
"4 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, are we going to play the 50-point half before the All-Star Game today?" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
Next, Dameng took action and hit a goal.
"To defend against Dameng and Barkley, just rely on grinding, slowly wearing down their physical fitness and condition, and winning at the end." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Xu Jicheng said in surprise: "Mosaic's outside defense retreated so quickly. When Dameng took action, the three outside lines retreated."
"Return to defense in advance. Otherwise, they won't be able to guard against Zhou Quan's fast break." Zhang Lili said.
4:10, SuperSonics offense.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan kept going, pretending to shoot from the top of the arc, and shot another three-pointer. He also got past Rekasna and got a small opening, but he failed to hit it this time.
Dameng grabbed the rebound and passed it to Rekasna outside.
But he ignored one thing. Zhou Quan switched to a glider on the defensive end and was not by Rekasna's side. However, on the SuperSonics' offensive end, it was Rekasna who defended Zhou Quan.
In other words, when the offense and defense transitioned, Zhou Quan was still beside Rekasna, only two steps away from him.
Zhou Quan was about to catch up with the glider and had already moved a step when he suddenly saw Dameng passing the ball to Rekasna from his left corner of his vision.
"Snapped!"
It was too late, but it was faster then. His 96-level reflex speed allowed him to react the fastest. He took a step sideways, stretched out his right hand, and intercepted the ball in an instant.
"Oh ho!"
Amid the cheers of the audience, Zhou Quan made no adjustments at all and immediately made a jump shot. The basketball swished through the basket.
"Snapped!"
Dameng was so angry that he slapped his thigh bitterly and hissed in pain.
He is not convinced. He was born in handball, so his hands are very accurate, and he can do anything to steal and block shots. But why is this guy Tekken's hands more accurate than him? Did you get it from fighting on the ice hockey team?
