At the Seattle Center Arena, the game was still going on. The ball was not dead. Rodman grabbed the ball. Zhou Quan took the ball to the top of the front court and suddenly rose up and hit a three-pointer.

The point difference once again reached 15 points. The irreversible score, coupled with Zhou Quan's 5*5 performance, finally completely defeated the Jazz's psychology. After holding on for three minutes, Zhou Quan led the team to play an 8:3 wave.

A wave of attacks widened the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop, and the Jazz finally surrendered.

Zhou Quan played 38 minutes, making 11 of 16 shots, with a field goal percentage of 68.8%, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 30 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

"A breathtaking performance! An incredible performance! Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed.

"The first 5*5 in the playoffs, the first non-post player to play 5*5, so strong!" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

Zhang Lianda said: "And Zhou Quan's offensive efficiency today is still high. The athleticism of the Jazz's back line is too ordinary and cannot keep up with his offensive and defensive rhythm. 40% of the SuperSonics' offense today was fast break. Zhou Quan's

Half of the goals scored were fast break points."

On the sidelines, Zhou Quan was being interviewed by ABC TV station after the game. In addition to ABC, there were a lot of reporters and cameras surrounding him.

"Iron Fist, what is the thing you want to say most at this moment?" a reporter from ABC TV asked excitedly.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan laughed heartily twice, and then said: "I can't believe it, I actually produced such data. Let's put it this way, at this moment, I actually admire myself."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone around laughed.

"Iron Fist, how do you evaluate today's opponent?" ABC's reporter asked again.

Zhou Quan pondered for a moment and then said: "They are actually very strong. We lack the advantage in the inside, but we can seize their weaknesses in the outside and win the game."

"How many games do you think it takes to defeat your opponent? Is there any hope of completing the sweep again?" the reporter asked again.

"Well, a sweep has never been our goal, but we will never reject a sweep. Regarding the future, my attitude has always been very cautious, that is, we will fight every opponent as the strongest opponent, and treat every opponent as the most powerful opponent.

The game should be played as the last game of the season."

After the interview, he and his teammates returned to the locker room.

At this time, the result of another game came out. The Knicks defeated the Hawks on the road.

An hour later, Zhou Quan attended the press conference.

"Iron Fist, who do you hope your opponent will be in the Western Conference Finals?" a reporter from the New York Times asked.

"One of the Suns or Mosaic, I never pick an opponent." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"So who do you think the SuperSonics have an advantage against?" The reporter immediately asked from a different angle.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Of course it's the Suns."

"Why the Suns?" the reporter asked.

"Because I won the Flying Pig, I am familiar with the game and have experience." He smiled.

"Poof!"

Many reporters down there burst into laughter.

The next day, Zhou Quan dominated the front pages of almost all US media.

"Iron Fist, I'm not done with you!"

When Barkley saw Zhou Quan's words from the media, he turned green with anger. He vowed to win the big dream, and then kill the Sonics and Iron Fist in the Western Conference Finals to avenge his elimination in last year's finals.

In the morning, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, who were busy preparing commentary materials, accepted interviews with the media in Chicago.

"Erwin, how would you rate Iron Fist's performance last night?" the reporter asked.

"Oh oh oh oh oh……"

Magic Johnson first praised, shook his head, and looked admiring, and then said: "Incredible performance, haha, great, he is the best guy, a superstar, he can win everything..."

"Do you think Iron Fist is already a superstar?" The reporter immediately interrupted the magician and asked.

Magic Johnson nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, he is known for his stability and is a true playoff superstar. This is not an accidental performance.

The first 5*5 in the playoffs, oh, awesome! And he is also a point guard who is only 191 centimeters tall. No superstar can do what he did last night. He is a superstar. Last night his The stars are so bright that they illuminate the entire NBA and sports world."

The reporter immediately asked: "So Erwin, do you think Iron Fist has a chance to surpass you? Or do you think he has already surpassed you?"

This question made Magic Johnson startled, but it was not surprising, because reporters always want to come up with some stunts. He pondered for a while and said: "I don't want anyone to surpass me. It's very selfish, haha, but Iron Fist really can surpass him." I."

At this point, he stopped talking and looked at the reporter with a smile.

The reporter was very smart and stopped asking questions. Instead, he asked Larry Bird: "Larry, how did you evaluate Iron Fist's performance last night?"

Larry Bird chuckled: "What a great performance!"

The reporter rolled his eyes and asked again: "You just heard that Erwin said that Iron Fist has not surpassed him yet, so what do you think?"

The magician looked helpless, and Larry Bird laughed, and then said: "At present, although Iron Fist has achieved such great data as 5*5, he is still far away from Erwin. The honors are far behind, and he is still too young, with only three seasons.

Moreover, Mr. Reporter, let alone a 5*5 in the playoffs, even ten such statistics will not allow him to surpass the Magic.

If Tekken wants to surpass Magic, it must completely surpass Erwin in terms of championship, best team, MFVP, MVP and other honors."

This evening, the two second-round G2 games continue.

At 6:30, Jordan drove to the United Center and was surrounded by a group of reporters when he entered carrying his bag.

"Michael, do you have anything to say about Iron Fist's first 5x5 in the playoffs?" a reporter asked.

"Great data." Jordan replied shortly.

"Do you hope to produce data like that?" the reporter asked.

"I never pursue statistics, only victory." Jordan replied.

"Do you think Iron Fist has a chance to surpass Magic Johnson?" another reporter asked.

Jordan was startled and looked at the logo of the microphone in the reporter's hand. It turned out to be a reporter from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He sneered and said: "Last year, the Detroit media talked about the Iron Fist era. Why do you Seattle media now hope that he will surpass Magic?" ?”

The reporter was unconvinced and said: "The magician has never hit 5*5, and neither have you. Why can't I think so?"

Jordan said disdainfully: "Magic and Bird created an era. They supported the NBA. Which era are you looking forward to creating?"

At this time, there was a look of contempt on his face, and he asked in a mocking tone: "Is this the so-called Iron Fist era?"

"you?"

The Seattle Post reporter was also angry and immediately said in a mocking tone: "When you won the first championship, you said it was not an accident, but the beginning of an era. Now please tell me, your era.

Where? Did it start? No, it ended with Iron Fist, a one-punch knockout."

"you?"

Jordan was also so angry that he was speechless for a moment, and his eyes wanted to kill the reporter in front of him.

The reporter continued to ridicule: "Mr. Jordan, according to you, Iron Fist did not create an era, so there is no way to compare it with the Magician. Then I agree with your words. But you did not create an era, and you are not as good as Magic Bird, right?"

?”

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Jordan turned away from the reporters and left.

In the next game, the unlucky Reggie Miller suffered. Jordan stared at him and beat him to death. He scored 43 points on his head, and he only scored 14 points.

The Bulls successfully won their second home game, but Mosaic was miserable, losing two consecutive games at home.

Barkley made 11 of 18 shots, with a shooting percentage of 61.1%, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 34 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers, and 3 fouls. His performance was much better than the previous game.

, led the team to defeat the opponent in overtime.

Dameng made 14 of 28 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls. His efficiency was not as good as Barkley's.

"Hakeem, I told you, I've prepared the fishing rod and picked the dock for you." After the game, Barkley said proudly.

"Shut up, damn pig!"

Dameng clenched his fists, his eyes were so wide open that they almost popped out, and his whole body was full of fierceness, as if he wanted to kill Buckley.

…

"We are in ruin."

The next day, the 12th, the huge black headline on the front page of the Houston Chronicle filled the hearts of Houstonians with disappointment.

This evening, two second-round G2 games began.

The SuperSonics still took advantage of using small players to defeat large players, speeding up the offensive and defensive rhythm. At the same time, they used Zhou Quan's strong defense to lock down Stockton, the Jazz's offensive engine.

Even though Hornacek can assume some organizational functions, he is only a shooting guard, not an authentic point guard.

With the help of their home court, the SuperSonics successfully won two consecutive games and took advantage of the series.

In another game, the Knicks lost on the road and tied with the Hawks one to one.

On the 13th, four groups of opponents changed places to fight.

The Pacers returned home and played an explosive game. Reggie Miller scored 21 points and Rick Schmitz scored 28 points. Six players on the team scored in double figures, two of whom scored 20.

Jordan performed poorly, scoring only 24 points and shooting only 44.4% from the field. Pippen only scored 17 points, 5 assists and 1 steal.
