God of NBA point guards

Chapter 309 4th place in the World Championships

Chapter 309 World Championship No.4
In the next few days, Zhou Quan will train with the national team.

He not only conducts tactical drills for the national team, but also conducts his own shooting training as usual. The coaching staff arranged for three training partners to pick up and pass the ball for him.

This year's men's basketball team includes Shan Tao, Liu Yudong, Adijiang, Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong, Ji Mingshang, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Wu Qinglong, Wu Naiqun, Zheng Wu, and Zhou Quan.

He came here once last year and invited them to dinner, so he knew most of them.

Among this group of people, he felt that there were indeed a few good people, such as Hu Weidong whom Liu Yumin mentioned many times, and Sun Jun, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and others.

He is about the same age as Hu Weidong, more than two years younger, so they can get on well with each other. He lives in the men's basketball dormitory these days, sharing a room with Hu Weidong. He knows that Hu Weidong not only has mild myopia, but more serious astigmatism. He is half-blind on the court, and his shooting depends entirely on his touch, which makes him admire this guy very much.

On the 25th, Zhang Lili approached him and invited him out for dinner.

During the meal, Zhang Lili accidentally mentioned the house. He now lives in his parents' house in Qinghua University. It is a bit small and inconvenient. He wants to buy a commercial house in the capital.

"I have been a commentator for the past two years, and I have saved a little money. If I don't buy it now, I will spend the money in the future, and I will not have a house. I just make up my mind to buy one."

"Is it enough? I'll lend you if it's not enough?" Knowing that Zhang Lili didn't have any money, he immediately asked.

"It's almost there. My parents can make up for me." Zhang Lili smiled.

"Brother Zhang, if you say that, I want to buy one too. Can you introduce me to a suitable house?"

Zhou Quan thought that he would inevitably come to the capital in the future, so he might as well buy a house here. Anyway, there is no shortage of money. Domestic houses are very cheap now, and there is no real estate tax, so he discussed with Zhang Reasonable.

But Zhang Reasonable suggested: "Xiao Zhou, if you have money, what are you doing buying a commercial house? It doesn't matter. If I want to be rich, I'll buy a courtyard house. It's down to earth, how nice it is!"

"Siheyuan?"

He thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything for sale?"

Zhang Lili said: "Yes, from the Forbidden City to the second and third rings, they are all old towns, and there are many of them. The day before yesterday, I heard that someone sold their own yard for more than [-] yuan, which is on the second ring road.

If you have money, buy bigger and better quality ones.Prince Gong's Mansion can't be bought, there are many other courtyards with three entrances and three exits, and most of them are this kind of courtyards.

One entrance and two entrances are common people's yards.There are also some four-entry houses, which used to be lived by high-ranking officials and nobles.There are not many Baylor County palaces that have entered the five, and there are not many in the entire capital. "

Zhou Quan asked curiously: "How much did you enter Prince Gong's mansion?"

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "That is not for sale. He Kun's mansion in the past is now a cultural relic. It used to have thirteen entries and thirteen exits. Now it should have seven entries and seven exits. It covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu."

Zhou Quan also laughed, and said: "Okay, brother Zhang, you are a local, help me find out, there is a good yard, that is, the kind of yard that can live in, and it doesn't need to be repaired. I want one.

You can negotiate the price for me, and I don’t know the market price, so I will give you five points as an intermediary fee. "

"It's a deal?" Zhang Lili said happily.

"It's a deal." Zhou Quan nodded.

On August 8, the men's basketball team arrived in Toronto, Canada.

The group opponents of the men's basketball team are the United States team known as the second dream team, the South American champion Brazil team, and the European powerhouse Spain team.

Let’s not mention the second dream team. Brazil and Spain are both very strong. The men’s basketball team is not sure about any of them. They can only fight. There is no second way.

The opponent in the first group is Brazil, and the confidence of the men's basketball team is particularly lacking.

Because just a month ago, at the Friendship Games in Moscow, the men's basketball team had just been defeated by the Brazilian team by 49 points.

But the reason for the loss of 49 points was because of Jiang Xinquan's plan. He hid several main shooters in the snow for the purpose of confusing the Brazilian team.

So this year's World Championships, the men's basketball team has only two tasks, the first is to beat the Brazilian team, and the second is to get out of the group stage because of Zhou Quan.

On September 9st, the match between the men's basketball team and the Brazil team began.

Both Liu Yumin and Jiang Xinquan were very nervous, because this was Zhou Quan's first game in the national team, and they didn't know how the effect would be.

The rules of the NBA are different from those of the FIBA. Although Zhou Quan also played under the international rules in the NCAA, after three years of playing in the NBA, it is definitely not suitable for the international rules. They are mainly worried about this.

The biggest difference between the two rules is that there is no zone defense in the NBA, and the most restrictive zone defense is the breakthrough with the ball. Zhou Quan is a point guard with the ball and breakthrough, so the zone defense will definitely suppress him greatly.

The second is that international basketball is very strict about walking, turning wrists, and physical contact, especially physical contact. Zhou Quan is used to the strong confrontation of the NBA and is prone to fouls.

In fact, their worries were right. Zhou Quan got three fouls in the first half, one of which was an offensive foul, and there were two more violations, one for walking and one for turning his wrist.

But Zhou Quan still relied on his strong comprehensive strength. In the first half alone, he made 10 of 7 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points and sent 7 assists and 3 steals. 1 block, but as many as 4 turnovers, and 3 fouls.

But the men's basketball team still relied on his performance to lead the opponent by 14 points at halftime.

After the first half, Liu Yumin and Jiang Xinquan were relieved.

In the second half, Zhou Quan continued his efforts and scored 13 points, 7 assists and 2 steals. In the second half, there was only one foul and no turnovers.

Under his leadership, the men's basketball team defeated the Brazilian team, won by 19 points, got a good start, and completed the first task of this World Championship.

"Old Hu, you played well. I will play in the NBA with me in the future."

After the game, Zhou Quan praised Hu Weidong who scored 21 points.

Among his 13 assists, 4 came from Hu Weidong's fast break points. The fast break cooperation between the two is quite good.

Hu Weidong became excited when he heard this sentence.

But he soon became frustrated, because unlike Zhou Quan, he was trained by the provincial team and the national team. If he wanted to go to the NBA, he had to sneak away like Ma Jian, otherwise the national team would not say anything. The provincial team will not let him go.

And when Liu's mother single-handedly brought him into the national team and tried her best to train him, how could he just leave like Ma Jian?
"By the way, Zhou Quan, how is Ma Jian doing now?" he asked.

When he asked, the others also looked over.

Zhou Quandao: "I played in Detroit Community College for two years, and this time I got him to UCLA. It depends on his own ability. He wants to participate in the NBA draft next year."

"Do you think he has a chance?" Hu Weidong asked.

Zhou Quan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The performance is mediocre, so there are no scouts paying attention to him, at most at the end of the second round."

His words are very clear, and there is not much hope, so Hu Weidong's desire to go to the NBA has dropped a little.

At the beginning, Ma Jian’s strength in the national team was still good. Now it has been three years and it is difficult to be selected by the NBA. Then he might as well stay in China. The CBA is almost done, and it is likely to start playing next year and stay in China. Shouldn't be bad either.

……

The second group stage opponent of the men's basketball team is the second dream team.

This year's Dreamland team, because David Stern wants to show the NBA to the world, has sent different stars from the Dreamland team, all of which are new faces.

They are Larry Johnson, Sean Kemp, Joe Dumars, Alonzo Mourning, Steve Smith, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson, Reggie Miller, Derek Coleman, Mark Price , O'Neill, Wilkins.

The head coach is Don Nelson, the current head coach of the Warriors.

The night before the game, the men's basketball team held a tactical meeting, and everyone participated.

"Xiao Zhou, we don't have any information about these people. You should know something about them, right?" Jiang Xinquan said at the beginning of the meeting.

"Okay, let me talk about it."

Zhou Quan nodded and said: "Larry Johnson is a power forward. Although he is not tall enough, he is strong. He has a good turnaround jump shot after he gets in, and he has good skills at the basket and low-post offense."

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "I know him best, the No. 91 pick in [-], and I entered the NBA in one year, and we were also tied for the best rookie in that season."

He didn't say anything else, such as the conflict with Larry Johnson and so on.

Then he introduced: "Sean Kemp, known as the No.1 beast in the NBA, has a very strong physical fitness and can jump and dunk well. Against him, our inside line will inevitably be blocked.

And he also likes to make some provocative moves after dunking. Pay attention to this and don't be irritated by him.But I don't mind giving him a lesson if he goes too far. "

When he said this, Liu Yumin and the others had weird expressions on their faces. They all thought of some of Zhou Quan's identities, such as the executioner in ice hockey, and a professional heavyweight boxer.

Zhou Quan continued: "In addition, his mid-range shot is also good. He is not only good at dunking. He is also good at carrying the defender into the penalty area after receiving the ball, completing dunks or throwing small hooks. His skills are very comprehensive. .”

"It seems that they are very strong inside!" Shan Tao became worried when he heard this.

"Where is this?" Zhou Quan laughed.

"Is there a more ruthless character?"

The complexions of Shan Tao, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and other inside players changed.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Alonzo Mourning, the No. 92 pick in 20, averaged 10+3 per game and [-] blocks per game. In just two seasons, he became a famous top center in the NBA. The top four super centers are a bit short. If he is a little taller, he will definitely be the fifth largest super center."

A few people in Shan Tao look at me and I look at you, and they have no interest in talking.

Liu Yumin tapped the button and said, "Don't worry, everyone. In the game against the US team, we must preserve our strength. Our task is not theirs."

When she said that, everyone relaxed.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "There are still powerful centers behind. The No. 90 pick in 20 is also a 10+[-] role, no worse than Mourning."

"Is there anything more powerful?" Shan Tao asked in a broken jar.

"Yes." Zhou Quan smiled.

"and also?"

Shan Tao almost bit his own tongue.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "O'Neal, the No. 92 pick in [-], he often dunked rebounds and tore the rim down. In just one year, he became one of the four super centers, whether it was Mourning or Coleman. , not showing the limelight in front of him."

"All the rebounds were dunked? Is that still human?" Hu Weidong and others' eyes widened.

A few inside players who were single-tawled shook their heads, not interested in talking anymore.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "They are also good outside. Reggie Miller is my UCLA alumnus. He is good at defense, breakthrough scoring, three-pointers, and trash talking.

Joe Dumars was my teammate in the Pistons. He was one of the perimeter cores at the time. He was better defensively than Reggie Miller and had stronger abilities than Miller.

Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson have been the Suns' backline partners for many years. They have good offensive and defensive organizations. Kevin Johnson can even compete with Magic Johnson at his peak.

Mark Price is good at organizing, and Wilkins is one of the four trappers who are as famous as Jordan. He is known as the essence of human movies, and his dunks are very good. "

In the end, he concluded: "Anyway, what Liu Chu said is right, our target is not them, but we really can't beat them."

He doesn't know that he can beat the Dream Team [-] alone. The Dream Team [-] has no weaknesses. The inside line is super strong. Just one person can beat them. No, even if he can beat the No. [-] position, the other four positions will all lose.

……

On the 3rd, the men's basketball team ushered in the second dream team.

"Hey, Iron Fist."

In the player channel, when the second team of China and the United States met, when they saw Zhou Quan, Joe Dumars, Reggie Miller, O'Neal and others greeted him one after another.

Zhou Quan responded one by one, only Da Ma and Yu Ren had a bad relationship with him in the second dream team, and the others were not good friends, and the relationship was not bad.

In the end, the men's basketball team lost the game, 85:105, and lost a full 20 points.

周权打了30分钟,轰下31分6篮板11助攻5抢断2盖帽2失误3犯规的数据,是本场比赛的得分王与助攻王、抢断王。

On the 5th, the men's basketball team ushered in the Spanish team.

In this game, Zhou Quan scored 30+ again, sent 12 assists and 6 steals, led the men's basketball team to defeat the last opponent in the group stage, and reached the knockout round with a record of two wins and one loss.

This is also the first time that the men's basketball team has made it out of the group stage, and the bottom place is the No.8 in the world, making history.

Excited by the domestic media, they shouted that this year's men's basketball team is the golden generation.

In the knockout stage, the men's basketball team's first opponent is the Canadian team.

In the game, Zhou Quan faced the 20-year-old Steve Nash.

Nash was selected for the Canadian national team in 93 and is now the main point guard. He has been exposed to various sports since he was a child. He has played football, basketball, and ice hockey. He is also a three-time world chess champion. He is currently at Santa Clara University in the NCAA.

For Zhou Quan, the FMVP of the NBA Finals, the future Fengzi is still too young, and Nash was completely blown up and turned into a scumbag.

Zhou Quan scored 37 points, 10 assists and 7 steals on Nash and his two substitutes, causing them a total of 14 turnovers, and the men's basketball team also defeated Canada.

In the semi-finals, the men's basketball team played against the strong European team Russia. Zhou Quan tried his best, but unfortunately he still lost the game.

In the last game, the men's basketball team competed with Croatia for third and fourth places.

In the end, the men's basketball team won No.4.

Although it is only No.4, it has repeatedly created history, so Zhou Quan's first trip to the national team was very successful.

After playing the World Championships, he returned directly to Seattle to continue his shooting training.
