Chapter 266
In the Seattle Center gymnasium, at a quarter past eight, all the lights were turned off.

Although the arena is dilapidated, the management still arranged the light show and fireworks as much as possible to make the opening game of the new season as lively as possible. Moreover, this is Zhou Quan's first game, so it doesn't matter if it's too shabby.

The Sonics also introduced a new mascot, Scoobe Bear, in the new season.

"This thing is too ugly, which idiot designed it?"

"Oh God, why is it so ugly?"

"Send the designer to jail."

"The design is so ugly, is there any special meaning?"

"The league's ugliest and dumbest mascot."

He said it was a bear, but he looked like a real savage. As soon as he appeared, he scared many children to tears and made many fans complain.

"Oh, ugly ghost, stay away from me."

"Go away, I kicked you."

"Ugly, you should go to the primeval forest to be with the orangutans, not here."

At this time, the visiting team came on the field, and Scour Bear ran up to scare people. That appearance really scared several Lakers players.

Then came the home team's appearance. The new starting lineup did not receive a warm welcome from the Supersonic fans. Even Rodman, who was the first to play, was the same, with only copious applause.

Zhou Quan feels that the atmosphere at home is not as strong as the Palace of Auburn Hills. However, their new Supersonic team has not shown any performance yet. The main players in the starting lineup are all rookies. Get the record and performance.

Then it was his turn to appear, and the host's voice sounded: "Now is the Iron Fist Slayer from UCLA, the first executioner of NCAA ice hockey, a first-class professional heavyweight boxer, spanning the three professions of basketball, golf, and professional boxing The Iron Fist of Sports... Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Quan!"

"Oh oh oh……"

The Central Gymnasium finally got excited, countless people raised their arms, and there was unusually warm applause and cheers at the scene.

"The loudest cheers from the people of Seattle for Iron Fist, wish him success here," Bill Walton said loudly.

Zhou Quan high-fived the fans on both sides of the aisle, signed autographs for a few small fans, then bumped fists with teammates, management, coaching staff, and boss Ballmer.

"Iron Fist, I look forward to your performance."

The noise at the scene was very loud, and Ballmer yelled loudly.

"I shouldn't let you down." Zhou Quan also yelled loudly.

He then took a look. There were many Chinese fans, at least a thousand, or even more. When they saw his gaze, they waved their hands in greeting, and he responded one by one.

"There are really a lot of Chinese, I think there are almost 500 people." The live commentator Henem said happily.

"I believe that more and more Chinese are willing to walk into the arena to watch our games. Before, they only kept their heads down to make money and had no interest in sports. This is the change brought about by Iron Fist." McGim said with a smile .

"Hoohoho..."

At this time, Shi Kaoxiong suddenly screamed strangely and rushed over to scare Zhou Quan.

"What the hell?"

The savage-like ugly appearance really startled him, and he raised his fists as big as iron bowls.

"Oh, damn it!"

This time, it was Skool Bear's turn to be startled.

"Haha, run, ugly thing, Iron Fist is a first-class professional heavyweight boxer, he will beat you to death." Bill Walton laughed.

"Oh!"

Scooper turned around and ran, only took a step, but tripped and fell to the floor.

"Ha ha……"

This time, all the fans burst into laughter.

"Tekken, what do you think of our new mascot?" live commentator Henem Chrisman ran over with a microphone in his hand and asked loudly.

"Very good, it lifted my spirits, the most obvious effect, no less than a tube of adrenaline." Zhou Quan blurted out.

"Ha ha……"

All the fans burst into laughter.

Scour Bear sitting on the floor feels wronged, although I am ugly, but I am very gentle, can't you see it?
After the warm-up, Zhou Kwon shot consecutive three-pointers and hit consecutive hits, causing the cheers on the scene to wave after wave. He didn't miss until No. 15, and there was a burst of neat sighs on the scene.

"Zhou Quan is very popular in Seattle!" Zhang Lili said happily.

"Cross-border madman, the latest FMVP, and just signed the contract with the highest average annual salary in the league, the popularity is not high!" Sun Zhenping laughed.

"I hope to have a good performance tonight." Zhang Lili said.

For Zhou Quan, this opening game is very important, the opponent is not strong, a good start is definitely needed, and he also needs to play beautiful statistics, as well as a wonderful and entertaining performance.

If not, he can be sure that what awaits him must be ridicule from the media.What the blood-sucking media did to Jordan will only treat him worse.

……

At 28:[-], the players are ready to play.

"Guys, hurry up."

Zhou Quan stood in front of the bench and motioned for his teammates to come over.

He stretched out his right hand and raised it above his head. Everyone immediately understood and put their hands over.

"What do we need tonight?" he shouted suddenly.

"victory!"

The others didn't react, but the old teammate Rodman did, and immediately shouted,

"victory!"

Only then did the others react, and roared loudly.

"Play."

Zhou Quan waved his hand and led the four starters onto the field.

"The five starters of the Supersonics are all rookies, which is very beneficial for Iron Fist to control the locker room. Looking at the current situation, he has already controlled the locker room very well." Bill Wharton said.

"Ha ha……"

Lewis Williams laughed suddenly, looking ecstatic.

"Lewis, what are you laughing at?" Bill Wharton asked in embarrassment.

Williams suppressed his smile and said with a smile: "Bill, you don't even know who your alumni is, what did he do just now?"

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Bill Wharton's answer, and said directly: "He just defeated the Polish bad boy ranked 22nd in the WBC heavyweight world, and he KO'd his opponent in only three rounds. The horror is, The bad boy from Poland didn’t have an effective blow, do you think anyone would dare to disobey him in the locker room for such a fierce guy?”

Bill Walton laughed loudly, looking very happy, and said with a smile: "Our UCLA will definitely produce a world heavyweight boxing champion, who dares to bet with me?"

"At least I don't," Williams laughed.

At this time, the game starts, the jump ball, and the Lakers attack.

Zhou Quan stood in front of Nick Van Exel.

Bill Walton immediately said: "Van Exel is the 10th pick in the second round this year. The pick is very low. The Lakers' main point guard last season, Streiter, is still there, but he is old. The team should want to Train this rookie."

Nick Van Exel's character is a bit crazy and easy to get on top of, but facing Zhou Quan, his madness is a little bit hard to get on.

Because Zhou Quan's defensive deterrence is too great, especially his stealing ability. In the past playoffs, he averaged 20 steals per game in 4.6 games. No matter who faces him, he is a little scared, let alone a rookie.

The more fearful you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. This is a truth.

"Snapped!"

Just when Van Exel had just crossed the halfway line, Zhou Quan saw the opportunity to grab the ball, and successfully poked the ball away, completing a steal at the beginning.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss's!"

After Zhou Quan stole the ball and hit a counterattack, the supersonic fans hadn't reacted yet. The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman reacted first, screaming excitedly, and then the center gymnasium burst into warm cheers.

"Iron Fist's reaction speed is too fast! This makes his steals still extremely sharp." Bill Wharton couldn't help but admire.

Zhou Quan reached the free throw line with the ball, took off half a step inside, walked in the air and pulled his body back into a bow, and then received a tomahawk-style dunk.

"Oh hoo!"

Bang, when the explosive basket blast sounded, all the [-] Supersonic fans cheered collectively.

"Hoohoho..."

At the on-site commentary seat, McGim screamed excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "I seem to see a small version of Rain Man, no, no, no, it's a flying man, it's a flying man, and the posture of the iron fist in the air is very stretched. , very beautiful, and he is also very happy to show the Sonics fans his amazing dunk."

"Zhou Quan currently weighs 92 kilograms. Before the last professional boxing match, he gained two kilograms. It is said that the increase is the core strength, and the ability to stay in the air should be improved. The dunk movement is more beautiful!" On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili Excited authentic.

"Now it should be called a small tank, a small tank with a speed of [-] miles per hour." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

In the backcourt of the Lakers, Zhou Quan turned his head and shouted at Van Exel, who was catching the ball and advancing.

Although he is a rookie, Van Exel is a few months older than Zhou Quan. Hearing this sentence, he was a little annoyed. When he got angry, he went to the top. He wanted to fight one as soon as possible, so that Zhou Quan could see his strength. .

Although it is only a second-round pick, he never underestimates himself, thinking that he is underestimated, he should be selected in the lottery, and he needs a chance to perform now.

And the Lakers gave him a chance, and let him start in the first game. As long as he performs on the head of Iron Fist, he can step on the famous Iron Fist and become famous.

When he thought of the opportunity to become famous in the first game of his career, he was extremely excited and over the top.

"Snapped!"

In the next moment, Zhou Quan went up and stabbed the ball again, and completed the second steal of the opening on Van Exel.

"what?"

Van Exel was in a daze, was he cut off again?Crazy cheers told him it was true, and he was intercepted consecutively by Iron Fist.

He wanted to turn around and chase, but the ball was intercepted in the backcourt, so how could he have a chance to chase it back?
"boom!"

Zhou Quan launched a counterattack after stealing at the top of the arc, took off four steps later, performed a 360-degree turn and dunk in the air, and instantly detonated the Seattle Center Stadium. The roar of cheers almost collapsed this old stadium Danger.

"The Sonics traded the Rainman, but ushered in their own dunker." Lewis Williams laughed.

"Iron Fist also had a lot of dunks in the Pistons last season, and this season is even better." Bill Walton laughed.

"Ho... ho... ho..."

Van Exel panted with his mouth wide open, under a lot of pressure, very high, and now his brain is congested, and he feels a little short of breath.

"Cover him!"

Lakers coach Bill Potka yelled.

He is a scout and consultant for the Lakers. He is 66 years old and the founder of the Porterka basketball scouting system. This system is widely used in the NCAA and NBA. He has worked for the Lakers for more than 30 years. Terry's chief assistant coach resigned this time because of the previous head coach, and he served as the head coach temporarily. This is also his first time as a head coach.

Shooting guard Tony Smith immediately came to respond and brought Kendall Gill over.

Kendall Gill was the No. 90 pick in the first round in 5. He became the leader of the Charlotte Hornets in just two seasons. He and Larry Johnson are also called the Hornets.

Excellent offensive and defensive, the defensive end is not afraid of confrontation, and is good at judging the opponent's passing line, and then stealing it. He even sent 11 steals in a single game in the future, and won the title of steals king that season.

Seeing Tony Smith approaching, Van Exel immediately passed the ball under Zhou Quan's deterrence.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Kendall Gill accurately judged the pass and went up in time to complete the steal.

"what?"

The future Crazy Fan was stunned, completely stunned.

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman joked loudly: "Hahaha, Iron Fist and Jill are too much, this is a rookie, you can't go too far, haha..."

"The rookie is going to be spoiled!"

McGim said with a grin.

Kendall Gill launched a counterattack, but did not make a layup when he reached the basket, but pulled it out and passed it to Zhou Quan.

This opening game is the first game of the five supersonic starters in Seattle, and they all need to perform, but he knows very well that the protagonist tonight is Iron Fist, and the protagonist in the future will also be Iron Fist. He is no longer the Hornets, and Iron Fist Competitive performance, the consequences may be the same as he was in the Hornets, being sold off.

But who is Zhou Quan? How can it be possible to grab the offensive opportunities of teammates now?

The ball was caught and passed back, and the ball flew back to Jill's hands.

"boom!"

At this time, the defensive attention was on Zhou Quan's side, and Kendall Gill was no longer polite, and it was a dunk when he went to the basket.

"Asshole! Asshole..."

After being intercepted three times in a row at the beginning, Van Exel began to speak incoherently, and his confidence collapsed a bit.

He continued to push forward with the ball, this time using the pick-and-roll to bypass Zhou Quan. When he pushed to the frontcourt, Zhou Quan caught up and blocked in front.

"Will you rush to vote?"

He had a prediction, because this rookie had already been cut off twice by him, and he dared to break through with the ball in front of him?
"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, the next moment, Nick Van Exel stood up in front of him and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

At the moment when the opponent took off, he made a defensive reaction. The 96-level nerve reaction speed has such an extremely fast reaction speed, and his physical fitness can keep up with him. He instantly completed the technical movement of taking off and blocking the block.

"Snapped!"

Under the precise strike, the ball was directly slapped away.

"Iron-blooded hat!"

The live commentator McGim hissed sharply.

"Oh hoo!"

When the ball flew high and flew out of the baseline, the audience was boiling.

The Lakers called a timeout. For the purpose of protection, the rookie was replaced. He played for more than a minute and made 1 of 0 from the field. The statistics of seven statistics were zero and six of them were zero, and he made three turnovers.

After the timeout ended, last season's main point guard Sedal Sritter was replaced.

"brush!"

Divac singled Perkins, hit short with high, and hit a mid-range shot.

Supersonic attack, Zhou Quan quickly advanced from the left wing with the ball, came outside the three-point line, did not stop, but accelerated and strode past, and directly rushed to the basket, which could not keep up with him .

The other Lakers players quickly returned to the penalty area. Zhou Quan rushed in and made an emergency stop to take off, but after the two defenders took off to block the block, a pass behind his head suddenly came without looking at anyone.

When Zhou Quan broke through with the ball, Schramf also moved quickly on the left wing. At the moment Zhou Quan passed the ball, his position was exactly in the blind spot behind Zhou Quan's vision.

But Zhou Quan's prediction has reached level 90, spatial imagination level 99, memory level 95, passing has reached level 96, and vision has reached advanced vision vision. In the process, relying on the Schramf he saw in the last moment, as well as his strong spatial imagination and memory, he instantly simulated the Schramf in the next second.

In other words, he predictably saw Schramf in the next moment, and then resolutely did not look at the pass behind his head.

"nice shot!"

Seeing that the ball flew over, and the passing position happened to be his favorite chest position, Schramff was not surprised. After receiving the ball, he made no adjustments, jumped up and shot, and hit an open mid-range shot.

Iron Fist’s non-visual passing made a lot of mistakes in team training at the beginning because everyone had no understanding, but during this period of time he has gradually gotten used to it. Although the understanding is still not perfect, it has become more and more perfect. Get better and make fewer mistakes.

Anyway, when you are on the court, you should be mentally prepared to catch the ball at any time, even if you are behind Iron Fist.

"Pretty!"

Zhang Lili exclaimed excitedly, and said excitedly: "This pass is beautiful. This is a real pass without looking at people. Zhou Quan's passing ability has improved again, and his vision has also become better."

"See if there are any more." Sun Zhenping said happily.

In the ABC commentary seat, Bill Wharton is very familiar with Zhou Quan, and he was a little surprised at this time: "If Iron Fist can pass the ball without looking at people frequently, and if the turnover rate is not high, then his deterrence with the ball will be even greater. powerful."

"Look at the performance later." Williams nodded.

The Lakers ended up with a blowout, losing the opener.

91:128, the Sonics won by 37 points at home and got off to a good start.

The Sonics team sent 21 steals, the Lakers 8 steals, and the Lakers made 29 turnovers, but the Sonics also had a lot, as high as 18 times. The new starting lineup is the main reason why the Sonics made a lot of turnovers.

Everyone has been training together for a month, especially the five starters have just arrived in a team, and the tacit understanding is not enough.

For example, Zhou Quan made 31 turnovers in 5 minutes of the game, all of which were passing and receiving errors.

The other one is a brand new starting lineup with immature tactics, even less familiarity, and many mistakes.

But just like that, the Lakers were also defeated, which shows that the strength of this team has slipped to the bottom.
