Chapter 273 I feel like my brain has been hollowed out

The next day, Mosaic arrived in Seattle.

In the last game, Mosaic lost to the Nuggets at home and suffered its second loss of the new season. The record was 22 wins and 2 losses, still ranked first in the league.

The Sonics are 20 wins and 3 losses. If they play one less game, they will lose one more game and win by 1.5 games. If they win this game, they will be 21 wins and 3 losses, only 0.5 wins behind Mosaic.

"We will not allow a losing streak. Tomorrow night we will double defeat the SuperSonics, and I will double defeat the Iron Fist." Dream Olajuwon put down his bold words in an interview with the media at the airport.

"If we meet the SuperSonics in the playoffs, are you confident that we can win the series?" a reporter asked.

"We are not the Knicks. Whenever we encounter the Sonics, we will kill them in that round." Dameng said confidently.

"This bastard actually mocked us and stepped on me?" Ewing saw Dameng's words from media reports and was very angry.

O'Neal is not included. Among the three super centers, because they are all friends of Jordan, Ewing and Damn have a good relationship, and they have some interactions off the court. The two of them have no off-court interactions with David Robinson. The general is a top student.

, and don’t bother to associate with rough guys like them.

But in fact, the competition between the three is everywhere, including All-Stars, regular season honors, and playoffs. Now with the addition of O'Neal, the competition among the four super centers has become even more intense.

For example, last season, Olajuwon was selected to the All-NBA First Team, while Ewing was only selected to the Second Team. This is a competition for hard honors. You get it, but I don't.

Now seeing Dameng mocking him and stepping on him, Ewing felt a little uncomfortable.

…

December 25th, Christmas Day.

That night, the NBA had only two games scheduled. The Magic played the Bulls away from home, and the Mosaics played the SuperSonics away from home.

At 7:30, the SuperSonics and Mosaic announced their starting lineups.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Ostie Thorpe, Robert Horry, Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith

SuperSonics: Sam Perkins, Rodman, Schrempf, Kendall Gill, Zhou Quan

This game will be broadcast live across the United States by ABC.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "Dameng promised to double-kill the Iron Fist and double-kill the Sonics at home and away. He is very confident. However, there are four games between them in the regular season this season. I am very curious, why didn't he say four-kill Iron Fist?

Where’s the four-kill Sonics?”

Lewis Williams smiled and said: "Let our colleagues ask him this question later. Maybe he missed two games?"

"Haha, yes." Bill Walton laughed.

There was also a live broadcast on CCTV. Zhang Lili said at this time: "Whoever wins tonight will depend on who performs better, Zhou Quan or Dameng."

Sun Zhenping said: "The state is good or bad. Anyway, I don't believe Mosaic has the strength to double-kill the Sonics. Dameng and Zhou Quan are not in the right position, and he doesn't have the strength to double-kill the Iron Fist."

…

"Victory! Victory..."

In the Seattle Center Arena, under the leadership of Zhou Quan, the SuperSonics team and fans rang out with high energy and loud shouts.

At eight o'clock, the game starts.

Jump ball, mosaic offense.

Jets Kenny Smith holds the ball, guarding Zhou Quan one step away while observing the situation on the court.

"squeak!"

Seeing the opportunity, when the opponent's ball had just hit the ground, Zhou Quan suddenly stepped forward, leaned over and reached out to stab the ball.

Kenny Smith was so frightened that he quickly pulled the ball back. He made a mistake while he was busy. He took a step back, but the ball was not caught. Zhou Quan took advantage of the situation and grabbed the ball.

"Steal the ball, Iron Fist steals the ball at the beginning!"

On-site commentator Henem Chrisman shouted excitedly.

After Zhou Quan intercepted the ball, he immediately started to move quickly and broke through from the right. Kenny Smith took a step sideways to block the interception. He immediately accelerated and stepped past the opponent, directly knocking away the opponent. However, when he rushed past, he was secretly pulled by the opponent.

When I put the jersey on, the speed didn't come up the first time.

At this time, Da Meng under the basket had already begun to catch up, and his speed was extremely fast.

Zhou Quan carried Kenny Smith with his left elbow and drove to the basket for a one-handed layup.

"Beep!"

The Jets got anxious and pulled someone in. At the same time as the whistle sounded, Zhou Quan threw the ball toward the basket with his right hand.

"Crack!"

A figure from behind came with a hurricane, and while flying into the air, he slapped the basketball on the basket and flew directly out of the left sideline.

"Oh, Big Dream?"

On-site commentator Hernem Krisman exclaimed and immediately reacted: "Interference ball, this is interference ball!"

"The ball is already directly above the basket, and he violated the cylinder of the basket." McGhim shouted.

At this time, the referee ran up and signaled Kenny Smith to pull a foul and add a free throw. Dameng's blocking action was a technical foul after the buzzer sounded, and the SuperSonics made a free throw.

"Oh ho!"

The whole place suddenly boiled.

Blocking shots didn't count, and he was called a technical foul. Dameng's face suddenly turned foul.

Zhou Quan secretly praised Dameng: "This bastard runs so fast!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

He first hit the extra free throw, then took the technical foul and hit again.

"This time the offense and defense were wonderful, the score was 211, beautiful!" Zhang Lili laughed.

"But if it was an away game, it might not be such a boast. Since the new season, the American media has been hyping up negative news about Zhou Quan. I feel the same as Jordan last season." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

Zhang Lili nodded heavily and said: "The American media is like this. Whoever has high popularity will hype it up. Especially some negative news is very popular."

On the field, mosaic attack.

At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan blocked Kenny Smith's downward passing angle, and Smith immediately passed the ball to small forward Robert Horry on the left three-point line.

Schrempf raised his hands high and waved them constantly, blocking Horry's downward passing angle. Horry lobbed the ball to the left wing of the low post.

"Pinch attack!"

The moment he passed the ball, SuperSonics coach George Karl's passionate shouts rang out from the sidelines.

From a high position, Zhou Quan quickly jumped down.

Under the basket, Rodman pounced.

"Three-person double team!"

Zhang Lili shouted loudly.

In the low post on the left wing, Dameng just received the lob, and the three-man double team was already around him. He had no chance to take action. He could only hold the ball high with both hands and prepare to pass the ball.

Horry ran toward the left corner from the 45-degree position of the three-point line, but Schrempf kept up with him, and the chance to catch the ball was not good.

Jets Kenny Smith at the top of the key ran to the left wing with no one around him.

When Zhou Quan completed the double-team, he knew that Dameng had no chance of taking action, so he did not forget to take advantage of his full-level panoramic vision.

With a slight movement of his head, he saw the Jets running out of the corner of his left eye, and he judged that Dameng would definitely pass the ball to the Jets.

Thanks to the full-level panoramic vision, when his head was swinging, the peripheral vision in the corner of his right eye was still locked on Da Meng, and his every move was very clear.

The next moment, Dameng put his hands above his head and suddenly threw in the direction of the jet.

At this moment, the power of the 96-level neural reaction speed was perfectly demonstrated. Dameng's passing action was like a signal gun on the 100-meter starting line, making him jump upward instantly.

"Crack!"

The top precision strike effect was displayed at the same time. A pair of big hands stretched out and directly confiscated the basketball that Dameng had just passed.

"Oh, oh oh oh, steal the ball! This is the most perfect football interception in the air, haha..." On-site commentator Henem Chrisman laughed excitedly.

"Oh ho!"

The moment the steal happened, the whole place suddenly became excited.

"What a fast response!" Bill Walton also praised.

"Zhou Quan's reaction is amazing!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Dameng regretted not making a fake move first. He thought that he had the advantage of height and wingspan, and there would be no problem in passing the ball suddenly. But there was no time for him to regret it. Zhou Quan landed and turned around and dribbled the ball wildly. He had already started to make a quick pass.

, he quickly chased after him.

Kenny Smith on the three-point line had already returned to defense, and Vernon Maxwell on the other wing had also returned to the backcourt. When Zhou Quan held the ball and drove in from a position two meters to the right of the top of the arc, the two of them started from the same position.

The left and right wings attack the center in a closed-door defense.

One step behind Zhou Quan, there is Da Meng who is chasing after him. His speed is comparable to that of a defender. He is extremely fast. Rodman and Perkins who are in the same position as him are lagging behind.

Zhou Quan reached two meters in front of the two men, suddenly slowed down, then took off with the ball in hand. While sliding forward, he threw the ball towards the basket with one hand with his right hand.

The big dream behind him chases the hat and sweeps it away.

The two people in front also took off to block shots, but the block was empty. It was a throw, and the defensive height was lower than that of the boss.

"Get in!"

Sun Zhenping shouted loudly.

"brush!"
