"Iverson's performance is actually not surprising." Elgin Baylor said.
Robertson nodded and said: "Yes, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the alien Cassel defended Iverson, and with Ray Allen's double attack, he also defended him and made 5 of 27 shots in one game, with a shooting percentage of only 18.5%."
"Now against the Iron Fist King, if Iverson continues to attack with the ball, the digital team will definitely be defeated tonight, and the SuperSonics will win a wild victory." Elgin Baylor said.
In front of the bench of the digital team, head coach Larry Brown looked a little ugly. This was his first time playing in the finals. If he lost, even if his opponent was the Iron Fist King, it would be shameless.
He said seriously to Iverson: "Allen, you have to hold the ball less, contain the Iron Fist King's defense, let Aaron McGee and Jumaine Jones attack with the ball, and you play without the ball."
Iverson looked up at Larry Brown. He didn't care about this very qualified head coach at all and said: "Larry, I can play without the ball, but can you guarantee to win?"
"..."
Larry Brown was almost angry to death by this sentence, I promise to give you a hammer!
Iverson was too lazy to speak. In his heart, the Iron Fist King's Sonics were too strong, and he had no hope of winning this finals. He just wanted to challenge the Iron Fist King.
Next, he continued to hold the ball and play alone, and didn't care about anything else.
Faced with such a tough-minded Iverson, Zhou Quan was also very impressed and felt that Iverson was more paranoid than Kobe.
But he was also merciless and showed Iverson the cruelty of the finals and the cruelty of ultimate defense.
In 44 minutes, he made 16 of 21 shots, a shooting percentage of 76.2%, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 44 points, 5 rebounds, 18 assists, 15 steals, 6 blocks, 2 turnovers, and 2 fouls. He finished the playoffs. 5*5 data for the 7th game.
In addition, he stole Iverson 13 times and blocked Iverson 5 times in a single game.
His 15 steals also set a new historical record for steals in a single game in the Finals, breaking his own record.
Iverson made 4 of 33 shots in 44 minutes, with a shooting percentage of only 12.1%, 0 of 10 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 15 turnovers and 4 fouls.
He has also set several records in a row, such as the person with the most steals by the same defender in a single game in the playoffs (finals), the person with the most steals in a single game in the playoffs (finals), etc.
He played the same amount of time as Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan gave him the greatest respect, treating him as the strongest opponent. Even if the point difference reached 50 points, as long as he did not leave the field, Zhou Quan would stay with him on the field and use his full strength to go.
75:125, the SuperSonics defeated by 50 points, setting a new historical record for the largest point difference in the finals.
…
“The most disparate finals opponent.” The New York Times.
“The least suspenseful finals ever.” Seattle Times.
"Iverson, the leader of the four shooting guards, challenged the iron fist king of the era and suffered the biggest defeat in history." Miami Heat reported.
"Despite the disastrous defeat, Iverson showed us his courage to challenge the strongest." Chicago Daily News.
The next day, the media reports did not ridicule Iverson. Instead, many media praised him.
June 12, 2001, Philadelphia, Game 4 of the Finals.
The digital team has lost the match point 0-3, losing by an average of 45 points per game. It has no ability to compete. The strength shown is not at the same level as the SuperSonics.
Zhou Quan did not go all-out offense in the G2G3 game, but went all-out defense and assists his teammates. He scored 30 points, 22 assists and 10 steals in the G2 game, and 31 points, 20 assists and 11 steals in the G3 game.

"Allen Iverson, the most courageous man in the league."
The Philadelphia Daily News published a front-page picture of Iverson lying at Zhou Quan's feet, which moved countless people around the world.
There is no suspense in tonight's game. Even in Philadelphia, few people think that the numbers team has a chance to win. The only people who think that Philadelphia has a chance to come back are drunkards.
In the visiting team's locker room, more than a dozen boxes of champagne wine have been piled up to celebrate after winning the championship.
At the scene, David Stern sat courtside with a smile on his face, next to the owners of the two teams.
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, there is a championship trophy.
At eight o'clock, the game starts.
When the digital team attacked, Iverson ran to the frontcourt to catch the ball, glanced at Zhou Quan in front of him, took a deep breath, and then started to attack with the ball.
Zhou Quan now also admires Iverson's tenacity. After three finals and hundreds of failures, Iverson has not flinched at all. This young man's willpower is really as strong as iron, and he has failed repeatedly. Fighting is more rare than repeated defeats.
Far away in Los Angeles, when he saw Allen Iverson starting to attack, Kobe Bryant in front of the TV couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He regretted it so much. If he had known he was going to be swept again, he should have done it by himself in the Western Conference Finals. What kind of bullshit was he playing without the ball? Isn't it uncomfortable holding the ball? There's nothing wrong with blacksmithing. He should be like Iverson, who missed countless opportunities to duel with the Iron Fist King.
Two hours later, the game ended. Zhou Quan once again scored a triple-double of 30 points, 20 assists and 11 steals on Iverson's head. In the finals series, he averaged 33.75 points, 20 assists and 11.75 steals per game. He scored four times in the series. Terrifying data of stealing a triple-double.
"Congratulations to Zhou Quan for his sixth championship! Congratulations to the Seattle SuperSonics for their fifth championship!" Zhang Liyi shouted excitedly at the moment the game ended.
"For the sixth championship, the number of championships has surpassed that of Magic Johnson. Zhou Quan has become the undisputed god of point guards." Xu Jicheng shouted equally excitedly.
"Oh ho!"
Zhou Quan won the championship trophy, and the two thousand visiting team fans started cheering heartily.
Minutes later, he received 11 votes and was unanimously elected as the Finals MVP.
"Crack, click, click..."
Zhou Quan came to Zeng Li and Zhou Yuan holding two trophies, and the family of three accepted the baptism of media cameras.
"Iron Fist, your championship ring finally caught up with me." Rodman said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Dennis, I will definitely surpass you, haha!" Zhou Quan laughed.
He waved and called a group of friends over to take a photo together.
"Hey, guys, guys, who else is wearing a ring? Let's show the ring when we take pictures. If you don't have a ring, you are not qualified to stand with the King of Iron Fist and take pictures." The Smiling Assassin shouted excitedly.
"Assassin!"
Reggie Miller glared at the assassin fiercely and cursed secretly.
"Son of a bitch!"
As a star of the digital team, Barkley was of course also present. Not far away, he also heard these words. The blood vessels in his head almost exploded and he almost suffered a cerebral infarction. After swearing, he even walked and ran around. He left quickly.
"Why is Buckley running away?" the assassin asked.
"Maybe he went to get the ring. He must have a wedding ring." Rodman replied.
"Pfft!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhou Quan and a group of others almost burst into laughter.
"I happened to be wearing one."
After laughing, Magic Johnson shook his left hand and said.
"I'm not wearing one, who can lend me one?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.
"Karim, I'll lend you one."
Rodman had six, and he immediately picked one up and gave it to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed, took it and put it on his hand.
"Crack, click, click..."
Next, Zhou Quan, Rodman, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Schrempf, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ben Wallace, Ewing, Chris Mullin, David Robinson, Bill Walton and others We stood together and took a bunch of photos, and everyone showed off their championship rings.
Reggie Miller stood alone, his eyes were red. He felt that he could no longer be friends with these people. These people, including Iron Fist, were nothing.
"Reggie, why don't you come over? Come quickly and take pictures."
Zhou Quan seemed to sense Reggie Miller's resentment, and then realized that he was standing aside and not coming over, so he hurriedly waved and shouted.
“&*￥#@……”
Reggie Miller glared at Zhou Quan fiercely and cursed: "Slap your ass!"
Zhou Quan was startled and then realized that among his friends, Reggie Miller did not have a championship. He burst into laughter, waved his hands and shouted: "Come on, come on, put all the rings away. Reggie, hurry up come over."
"Ha ha……"
"Reggie, your championship is behind you and you really can't get it. Come over here and you'll find it next to Iron Fist, so don't be in a hurry."
"Reggie, come here quickly."
Rodman and the Assassins laughed, but put away the ring.
"Damn it, I won't hug his thigh, I want to win the championship on my own." Reggie Miller cursed and walked over to take pictures.
…
Several days have passed since the championship, and Seattle's three-day celebration has ended. Zhou Quan has entered the offseason, preparing to rest in Seattle until the end of the month and participate in Dayao's draft before returning to China.
The reward for 100% enhanced lung function has been reached, and his cardiopulmonary capacity has been fully improved. As a result, his physical fitness has reached the full level of level 99, which also means that his body has reached its peak and peak state.
After the peak, his body will also enter the downward channel, but even if it declines, it can still maintain its peak period for a period of time.
As for how long he can maintain his peak period, he doesn't know, but a reward he received before was to slow down the aging rate of his body by 30%, so he must be able to maintain his peak period for much longer. He believes that it can last for five years, or even eight to ten years. Years are also possible.
Now he is only 29 years old. Even if it is only five years, he will be 34 years old in five years. Jordan's body was still in decline when he was 34 years old, but with his skills and experience, his strength is still at his peak. He should not lose when he is 34 years old. To Jordan.
If there are still eight to ten years of peak period, then it would be quite scary for him to remain at his peak period at the age of 37 or even close to 40 years old. The entire 2000s were his.
"Zhou, last time you said you were going to have a boxing match. You're all looking forward to it. Do you want to make arrangements?" Roger Philippe came to the door this day.
"Let's make arrangements after returning from the country."
