Chapter 269 Bill, do you believe I will kill you?

In the next game, Zhou Quan did not attack Mutombo again. After all, he is an honest man and he did not want to make the opponent look too ugly.

But facing Lauf, he did not hold back and overwhelmed the opponent on both offense and defense. In 36 minutes, he made 11 of 18 shots, a hit rate of 61.1%, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 28

Points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals, 3 turnovers and 2 fouls.

In three games, he had a total of 39 assists and 12 turnovers, averaging 13 assists and 4 turnovers per game. His assist-to-turnover ratio was 3.25. His passing stability is still at an excellent level.

90:111, the rebuilt SuperSonics won three consecutive victories.

His style of play is no less enjoyable than last season. Although Rain Man's brutal dunks are missing, Zhou Quan often delivers explosive and gorgeous dunks, plus a series of wonderful goals and exciting fast breaks.

It makes Seattle fans very satisfied.

Excluding the national live broadcast of the first game, the local viewership average reached 1.2 million people per game. One-third of the people in the metropolitan area watched these three games, far exceeding last season.

This ratings is only lower than the NFL's Seahawks among the ratings of professional teams in Seattle's four major sports leagues, ranking second.

This makes the management very happy and full of confidence in the operation of this season.

High ratings and the league's second-highest number of live broadcasts across the country mean high exposure, and this has already begun to bring benefits to the Sonics. Several major sponsors have already come to the door, and Seattle has no shortage of major sponsors.

Zhou Quan is also very satisfied with the team's performance. In the three games, he averaged 121 points per game and conceded 97.7 points per game. He currently ranks first in the league in points scored and tied for 10th in points conceded with the Jazz.

On the morning of the 10th, he analyzed the defense this season.

Obviously, last season only 3 teams conceded less than 100 points per game, but this season there are 10, and the league's defensive intensity is stronger than last season.

The Sonics' defense is already very good, but it only ranks 10th in the league and tied for 4th in the Western Conference with the Jazz.

But with the current lineup, he believes there is still potential to be tapped on the defensive end. As long as we continue to work together, we will lose fewer points.

On the 11th and 13th, the SuperSonics defeated the visiting Cavaliers and Hawks at home, winning five consecutive games.

After five consecutive wins at the start, no media said that the SuperSonics deal failed, and the Pistons also achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. The media only said that Zhou Quan's trade was a win-win for the Pistons and SuperSonics.

In these five games, Zhou Quan averaged 37.4 minutes per game, 10 of 18 field goals, a field goal percentage of 55.5%, 1.33 of 3 three-pointers, a field goal percentage of 44.4%, 4.67 of 5 free throws, a field goal percentage of 93.3%, and an average of 26 per game.

Points, 4.6 rebounds, 13.6 assists, 4.2 steals, 1.4 blocks, 3.6 turnovers, 2.6 fouls, assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.78, and true shooting percentage of 64%.

At 10 a.m. on the 14th, the league announced the Player of the Week for the first week, which was given to Olajuwon.

Dameng averaged 30.3 points, 14 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1 steal, 3.8 blocks, 4 turnovers and 3.8 fouls per game, with a shooting percentage of 61.7% and a true shooting percentage of 64%.

Then the MVP ranking list for the first week was announced, with Zhou Quan ranked first, Jordan second, Olajuwon third, Ewing fourth, Barkley fifth, and Dominique Wilkins sixth.

Of course he is very happy to see his ranking. This is the first time in three seasons that he has topped the MVP rankings.

Then he received many congratulatory calls. The first caller was his agent Philip, who encouraged: "Come on, Zhou, you have the championship and FMVP, but you are missing an MVP. These three hard honors belong to superstars."

Supporting honors, if you don’t collect these three honors, you can’t be called a true superstar.”

The Bulls he was more concerned about also started with five consecutive victories. Jordan averaged 31.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls per game. His field goal percentage was 49% and his true shooting percentage was 55%. He was still playing well at the age of thirty.

Top offensive and defensive performance.

On this day, because the opponent in the next game was the Bulls, the media was very concerned about this game and made various predictions and analyses.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar accepted an interview with the media, and his remarks immediately broke the news.

"Judging from their individual performances in the first week, both Jordan and Iron Fist were outstanding. This is undeniable."

"Judging from the team's record, they all have five wins from five games, and their leadership abilities are equally outstanding."

"Analyzing their efficiency on both offense and defense, in addition to slightly lower scoring, which is due to fewer shots, Iron Fist is even better than Jordan."

"Field shooting percentage, true shooting percentage, steals, blocks, defensive efficiency, offensive efficiency, except for rebounds which are not as good as Jordan's, Iron Fist has an overall advantage. As for organization and assists, Jordan and Iron Fist are not on the same level, so there is no need to discuss."

"So I think the position of the current No. 1 player in the NBA should be re-discussed?"

These words are truly shocking.

Jordan is no better than last season. Last season, because he had the opportunity to defend three consecutive championships and create a dynasty, the popularity was very high. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The media was crazy about him in order to suck blood from him, but failed to defend the title.

After that, Zhou Quan's popularity and influence rose rapidly, which helped him share a lot of media pressure. Therefore, in the eyes of the media this season, Jordan has become almost the same as before, and he has not been targeted much.

In addition, Zhou Quan is not an American, and it doesn’t matter if you argue with others. When competing with Jordan for the number one active player, the attitude of both the media and the fans is naturally biased towards Jordan. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s words were reported by the media, not only did he speak

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and even Zhou Quan, were immediately widely criticized and ridiculed.

Many media began to dig up dirt on Zhou Quan. From UCLA to the NBA, he also had a lot of dirt on him.

The most important thing is the issue of violence. There are many violent incidents on and off the field. In the past two seasons, he has made friends with two beautiful celebrities who have become his black material. He also hooked up with Big Mouth and ruined his marriage. He said that he

Looking for beauty in Hollywood, there is a problem with character.

During this day, from day to night, countless media outlets were reporting negative news about Zhou Quan.

Many stars in the league have stood up to refute Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words.

Chamberlain accepted an interview with the media and said angrily: "Kareem went too far. He compared a 21-year-old player with the 30-year-old Jordan. This is wrong and unfair.

I even bet that when Iron Fist is 30 years old, he may only be on the bench. Such a person is not even a superstar, just a shooting star.

When we evaluate the current top player, should we only look at one week's performance? No, we need to discuss whether their performance in recent seasons has been absolutely dominant.

In recent seasons, who can have the absolute dominance of Michael Jordan over the entire league? No. So the issue of the number one player currently does not need to be discussed at all.

I think Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is just spreading fallacies for the sake of his alumni, and I even think this is a conspiracy and they are pushing something secretly."

Magic Johnson, who just took over the position of coach of the Lakers, also accepted an interview with the media and said: "It is still too early to discuss this issue. The most dominant person in the league is still Michael. Iron Fist still needs more seasons of performance. He is currently Let’s not even talk about a ruling alliance.

I think after three or five seasons, after Michael has aged and Iron Fist has become more mature and dominant, it may be time to discuss this issue.

But at the same time, there are other people who are qualified to join the discussion of the number one active player, such as Hakeem Olajuwon, and Iron Fist is not the only candidate."

Gary Payton stood up and accepted the interview and directly ridiculed: "It's a ridiculous statement. There is not even a scoring champion, but some people want to be the number one active player. What does he think the number one active player is? He has no chance to become an active player in this life." The first person, I said so."

Barkley said unhappily in an interview with the media: "It's too much. Michael is still the best person in this league. Iron Fist is a little complacent. Don't think that just one championship can make him the number one active player. He is still far away." Not nearly enough.”

Olajuwon said in an interview: "What does Iron Fist think is the number one active player? Winning a championship and winning an FMVP means he is the number one active player?"

Ridiculous, he has to destroy the entire league. Just like Michael, he has dominated the league for a long time and even forced the league to change the rules. Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to be called the number one active player?"

"Senior Karim, are you trying to trick me on purpose?"

Zhou Quan only has one feeling, he has become the Jordan of last season.

He was also very helpless and asked his housekeeper, Mrs. Merlin Wellington, to temporarily cancel her subscription to other newspapers except the local newspapers.

I don’t even watch TV, just turn on his news.

All landline phones at home were unplugged and external mobile phones were turned off.

…

On the 15th, the Chicago Bulls arrived in Seattle.

Jordan had not accepted an interview before. When he came out of the airport, a large number of reporters surrounded him and refused to let him leave, so he had to accept an interview.

"Michael, do you think Iron Fist is qualified to compete with you for the number one spot on active duty?" a reporter from the New York Times asked.

Jordan felt very comfortable, look, what I said was right, Iron Fist, now the pressure is on you.

He smiled and said: "This question is actually meaningless, because this is not what Iron Fist said, but what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said."

"Whether it's what Iron Fist said or not, Michael, you can discuss this issue," the reporter said.

Jordan shook his head and smiled: "Sorry, I am the person involved and not suitable to discuss this issue."

"Michael, do you think it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Iron Fist who are secretly promoting this topic?" the reporter asked again.

Jordan smiled and said: "This conjecture is very interesting, but I don't know."

He didn't want to get burned, so he just let the media focus on Iron Fist.

"Michael, are you confident in defeating this Sonics in tomorrow night's game?" a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.

"I never lack confidence."

When talking about this, Jordan's eyes lit up and his fighting spirit emerged.

"Michael, are you more hostile to the Sonics than you are to the Pistons because of the Iron Fist?" a Seattle Times reporter asked.

Jordan sneered and said: "I have no hostility towards the Sonics. Iron Fist is just an opponent of mine. To me, he has no special meaning."

"Michael, in the first week's MVP rankings, Iron Fist is above you, what do you think?" a reporter from the Seattle Post asked.

"No, I already have three MVP trophies. If he wants, I can give him one." Jordan said.

After being interviewed at the airport, the Bulls held a press conference in the hotel at the request of the media.

Jordan saw two acquaintances, Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer. These two damn guys actually appeared at the press conference as ESPN reporters and were still in the front row.

He stared at the two of them fiercely and sat down.

"Isiah, ask him an embarrassing question." A fierce look flashed on Lambir's face, and he lowered his head and said.

"Of course." The assassin nodded quickly.
