"Where are your parents?" Zhou Ye asked after sitting down.
"Went for a walk by the lake."
"Brother, dad's fatty liver has healed, and he was clamoring to return to China yesterday."
"Going back to China to treat fatty liver disease? It is indeed normal now. If he returns to China and no one cares about him, he will definitely suffer from it again. We cannot let him go back to China alone."
"Yeah, you have to take care of dad, otherwise it's either fatty liver or alcoholic liver disease. By the way, when will eldest brother, second brother and sister Zeng Yu get married?"
"I don't know, it depends on their own arrangements. Zeng Yu has already obtained her bachelor's degree certificate and is preparing to take the postgraduate examination. After she passes the examination, she should consider getting married."
"Brother, I learned about a situation..." Zhou Ye said with some confusion.
"What's going on?" Zhou Quan looked away from the newspaper and looked at his sister.
"A senior who graduated seven or eight years ago returned to China to apply for a job. He graduated with a Ph.D. and majored in the same field as me. He was a national unit there. He failed to pass the first step of registration and had no chance of interview or written test. Then the senior applied to several other companies. All national units were eliminated in the first round," Zhou Ye said.
"What's the reason?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.
Zhou Ye said: "I don't know. He had no choice but to come back to the United States. Later, I found out about it in the circle. It turned out that he was not the only one. In the circle of American nuclear physics students studying abroad, there have been several people who have returned to China to apply for jobs over the years and were rejected by some national units. .
It’s not completely unnecessary. There are also some peripheral research units that are willing to accept the senior, but the position is very marginal, the position of intern researcher.
Big brother, with that senior’s qualifications and education, he actually has the strength to enter the core unit as a formal researcher.
Below the researcher there are associate researchers, research assistants, and intern researchers, which are divided into more than ten levels, with the intern researcher being the lowest level. "
"real?"
"Brother, do you think I can find a job when I return to China? We major in nuclear physics. We can only go to state units when we return to China. There are no private companies suitable for our major." Zhou Ye said worriedly.
Zhou Quan thought for a while and said, "Little Ye Zi, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll go back to China to learn more about it when I have the opportunity.
As you just said, it’s not that there are no units that want you. I think it’s okay to start with peripheral units.
You must know that your major is very sensitive. Even if you have the strength, it is really impossible to directly enter the core unit, right?
Soldiers in China still have to be tried, and pilots have to be tried for generations, not to mention your circle? Especially for international students with green cards and American loans, I think it will be even harder, unless you are the top. "
"Uh-huh."
"At the researcher level, you won't get any results when you first enter. Of course, you have to start from the bottom. Unless you enter with a project that has produced results, this should be the case."
"knew."
…
After the G1 game ended, the media adjusted the prediction data for the Eastern and Western Finals. The winning Pacers and SuperSonics' data improved.
Especially the SuperSonics, which beat the Lakers, has a greater chance of advancement.
For example, ESPN predicted before the start of the East-West Finals that the Pacers' promotion chances were 48%, Heat 52%, SuperSonics 52%, and Lakers 48%. Now it has changed, with Pacers 51%, Heat 49%, SuperSonics 60%, and Lakers 40%. %.
On the evening of the 24th, in the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers lost the G2 game after winning the G1 game at home, and the two sides tied at one to one.
The Pacers' loss at home was not conducive to the series. The media immediately adjusted the promotion prediction data, and the Heat's probability of promotion became higher.
These media adjust the data in a timely manner with only one purpose: to use gimmicks to attract attention and increase sales.
But these media did guide public opinion. Reggie Miller, who only scored 15 points in the G2 game, received a lot of criticism the next day.
The next morning, Zhou Quan called Miller and comforted: "Reggie, although the G2 game was really rubbish, you have to be stronger and try to prevent death in the away game."
"Iron Fist, I will kill the gloves, and then I will kill you in the finals." Reggie Miller replied firmly.
"Should I believe you?"
"Boy, what do you think?"
"Haha, senior, lock down Payton and you will win. Come on, see you in the finals."
"Of course, see you in the finals."
At this time, the Lakers were holding a tactical meeting in the hotel.
From the night after the G1 game to last night, two nights and one day, Phil Jackson racked his brains, exhausted his energy, and came up with some ideas.
"The core of all tactics is to create isolation opportunities for Shaq."
"Someone must step up on the outside and use his breakthroughs, his mid-range shots, and his offense to tear apart the Sonics' defense and create single opportunities for Shaq."
"But we currently don't have outside players that can meet my requirements, so we can only use tactics to assist."
Kobe was sitting in the first row, right next to O'Neal, looking at Phil Jackson. After hearing these words, he began to speculate in his mind what tactics Phil Jackson would use.
"It's nothing more than a pick-and-roll screen, but these have been tried on Jordan a long time ago. The result was that the Bulls lost three consecutive finals and became the backdrop for the first three consecutive championship dynasties in the modern history of the league. I am still far from the height of Jordan. I almost tried these tactics in the G1 battle, but they didn’t work.”
"But the Bulls don't have a big shark, so it might be useful, but it wasn't used well in the G1 game."
"In the G1 game, he put all the responsibility for the loss on me. Let's see what he says this time."
Phil Jackson noticed that Kobe's eyes were always looking at him. He smiled and nodded towards Kobe, pushed up his glasses frame, and continued:
"In the G2 game, we first try to let Kobe and Shaq cooperate on the wing. After Kobe passes the ball, he immediately cuts inside. If the Iron Fist King chooses to double-team Shaq, then Shaq immediately passes the ball to Kobe. If the Iron Fist King chooses to follow and defend Kobe , Shaq can play by himself.
Of course, if the Sonics still play weak-side defense, Shaq has no chance for a single, and Kobe cuts inside and is followed by the Iron Fist King without a chance. At this time, Ron has to move from the top of the arc to the left wing, and Shaq can pass out.
Ron can take the shot himself when he has the chance. If there is no chance, he can pass it out again, or pass it to Shaq again and try one more time.
If Kobe doesn't get a chance after entering the paint, he should come out immediately, reach the high post to meet Ron, and form a triangle again.
On the weak side, AC and Glenn must be active in their off-the-ball movements. They must cut inside and outside to form two other corners, trying to get out of the open space and wait for the pass. "
He paused for a moment before continuing: "The second tactic is that when Glenn is running without the ball, he can try to cut inside and take the opportunity to screen for Shaq and create mismatch opportunities for Shaq. The same goes for Kobe. Likewise, you can try fighting like this."
"Third, we need to strengthen our outside shooting capabilities. Robert, your playing time will be more tonight, so be prepared."
Robert Horry nodded, somewhat pleased.
He was traded to the Lakers midway through the 1996/97 season. This is his fourth season. He has been the main force in Mosaic for 4 seasons. He also had many starting opportunities in the first two seasons with the Lakers, but starting from last season, Phil After Jackson came to the Lakers, he rarely started. Unless Glen Rice was injured, he would have no chance to start.
Moreover, in the past four seasons with the Lakers, whether he was a starter or a substitute, his shots were reduced a lot, and his statistics were far inferior to those in Mosaic, which made him very depressed.
Kobe was a little confused when he heard that Phil Jackson wanted to increase Horry's playing time.
Horry's shooting percentage is not very good. This season's regular season shooting seems to be less than 44%, and his three-point shooting is only 30%. After entering the playoffs, his shooting percentage dropped again in the first two rounds, and he made consecutive three-pointers. Not even 30% of them.
He remembers clearly that in the second round against the Trail Blazers, Robert Horry only shot 33.3% from the field, and only 20.8% from three-point range, which was not as good as those undrafted picks from the SuperSonics. This kind of efficiency should be to cut down on time, but how could it be? More playing time?
"Shaq, the Sonics will stack you with several human shields and consume your physical energy. You have to play smarter and use your teammates' screens to get to the basket. In addition, when you are in position, you can ask for it while moving. bit, don’t always confront each other head-on.”
"Others are cutting inside, and when Seattle doubles Shaq, we need someone to get to the basket, and Shaq's ball will give it to you."
"We try our best to win the G2 game. If we win tonight's game and have an away victory, we can take the initiative in the series."
…
At night, Seattle's New Center Arena.
At eight o'clock, the starting lineup was announced.
Lakers: O'Neal, AC Green, Glen Rice, Kobe Bryant, Ron Harper
SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Campbell, Bowen, Brent Barry, Zhou Quan
In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Lili said: "The starting lineup of both sides has not changed."
"AC Green's physical condition is no longer good. He can't keep up with Campbell. The Lakers still let him start. I think there will be problems." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "The Lakers' lineup is not as deep as the SuperSonics. Only Robert Horry and John Salley can replace the power forward position. John Salley is also 36 years old and cannot play for a few minutes. The number one substitute at the fourth position is Horry.
Mr. Xu, although this player's efficiency is not very good, he is still very daring to take shots at critical moments. If you give him a shot, he will definitely make a shot for you, and sometimes he can make key shots. "
Xu Jicheng said: "The fight in the paint area is very fierce. The SuperSonics use three big human shields to carry the big sharks. The three of them played well in the G1 game. They will definitely fight like this this time. They will not change sides if the situation is right."
Zhang Li said with a smile: "Since the regular season, the SuperSonics have been targeting the Lakers. Ben Wallace, Brad Miller, and Campbell have all gained some weight."
Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "As long as O'Neal is not allowed to play a super explosive state, I think he will be fine even if he averages 30 points per game. The Lakers still can't beat the Sonics, because Zhou Quan has an absolute advantage against Kobe."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Kobe is not not strong enough, but he is indeed far behind Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan has retired for two years and is still at the top."
"Shark, how about I treat you to shark fin tomorrow?"
At this time, in the player tunnel, Zhou Quan saw O'Neal when he arrived and immediately greeted him.
"Fins? What's so delicious about those things? We never eat those things, we don't eat fish with spines." O'Neal said with a look of disgust.
"Iron Fist, what kind of fish's fins are there?" Kobe asked curiously.
"Shark." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"You bastard! Aren't you afraid of being bitten by a shark?" O'Neill's eyes widened.
"Pfft!"
Campbell and others laughed.
…
"Isiah, I heard that you resigned from the Raptors. Why didn't I listen to you two days ago?" After the appearance, Zhou Quan came to the assassin and asked.
"Damn, did the news get out just now that I was fired?"
Isiah Thomas immediately pretended to be surprised and asked: "Iron Fist, I just called the team this afternoon to notify the team of my resignation. The formal procedures have not been completed yet. Who told you?"
"Vince."
Zhou Quan pointed at Vince Carter behind him and said.
Seeing Carter and McGrady standing together, the assassin slapped his head. Carter was McGrady's cousin. McGrady must have been informed by the management, and then told Carter, who then told Iron Fist.
"Yes, I don't want to do it anymore. The Raptors' results are too bad." He said helplessly.
Zhou Quan secretly laughed, you guy, you were fired by the Raptors, and you lied to me and said you didn’t want to work anymore.
"Any plans?" he asked.
The assassin chuckled and said: "ESPN contacted me. They plan to fire Barkley and Kenny Smith and ask me to be their ace commentator.
Haha, that guy Barkley targeted you during his commentary. His position was unfair and he received many complaints from fans, which made ESPN very angry. "
Zhou Quan didn't care about Barkley at all and asked: "Dismantle the Bill combination too?"
The assassin shrugged and said, "Besides, I haven't agreed yet. I still want to find a team to be a manager or coach."
"Well, then you keep working hard." Zhou Quan encouraged.
At 8:30, the G2 war begins.
After the jump ball, the Lakers attack.
At the beginning, O'Neal was full of energy and went straight to the basket. Ben Wallace pushed him and was knocked away, almost falling to the ground.
"Shaq!"
Ron Harper, who had just passed the midline, was very experienced and saw the opportunity and threw the ball directly to the basket.
O'Neal squatted under the basket, raised his hands high, and jumped to meet the ball.
Ben Wallace has lost his defensive position. Campbell comes to help defend from the right waist position, but his take-off height is much lower than O'Neal.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
As a violent explosion sounded, the basket was directly sunk by at least fifty centimeters. The referee's whistle also sounded, pointing at Campbell, making a gesture of a thug foul.
"Alley-oop dunk! O'Neal was too strong at the basket. It was two plus one at the beginning, and Campbell paid a foul in vain."
When Zhang Lili saw the ball, he was a little frightened.
"No wonder people now say that the Shark is the most dominant center in the history of the league. Director Zhang, did Ben get his position ahead of schedule just now?" Xu Jicheng said.
"It should be close. If we stop early, it is an offensive foul. This is the home court of the SuperSonics. With Zhou Quan's current status in the league, the whistle cannot be biased towards the Lakers." Zhang Liang said.
"Just fight."
Phil Jackson was also very excited. This ball allowed him to see the opportunity to defeat the SuperSonics. He clasped his hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted towards the court: "Shaq, move up and push them horizontally with your tonnage."
