Chapter 379 Scoring King(1/2)
At 8:20, the main game begins.
Although Zhou Quan did not play seriously, he could not help but show his strength. He played for 20 minutes and got 10 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 1 block.
With three minutes left at the end of the game, the two teams were tied at 110.
Zhou Quan came on the court again, stealing Jordan and Anfernee Hardaway once each in succession, using his strong stealing ability to help the Western Conference defeat the Eastern All-Stars.
In the end, David Robinson of the Western Conference scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and won this session's AMVP.
Early the next morning, the 12th, Zhou Quan and Zeng Li rushed to the airport and flew directly to Los Angeles.
Zhou Jun also rushed to the airport from school. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them met Zhou Jianguo, Lin Yufen, and Zhou Ye at the airport.
Life has been good these past few years, and Zhou Jianguo and Lin Yufen look younger than they did a few years ago.
Zhou Ye is already 15 years old. He is pretty and almost as tall as Zeng Li. He is only shorter because of his sneakers.
"Brother, when will you and Sister Zeng Li get married?" Zhou Ye shouted when they met.
Zhou Quan glanced at Zeng Li, whose face was slightly red, and said with a smile: "After I defend my boxing title here, I will return to China to get married. However, I also plan to hold a wedding ceremony in the United States, and I have many friends to invite."
"marvelous!"
Zhou Ye cheered.
"Then your dad and I will get ready when we get back."
Lin Yufen said happily, and Zhou Jianguo also nodded happily.
"good."
Zhou Quan smiled and nodded, touched Zhou Ye's head and asked, "Little Ye Zi, are you in the first year of high school?"
"Yes, the High School Affiliated to Normal University." Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly.
"Brother, I know, how are your grades now?" Zhou Quan asked.
"Okay, I can basically stay in the top three in the whole grade." Zhou Ye said with a proud look on his face.
Lin Yufen nodded Zhou Ye's little head and said with a smile: "This girl, why are you so proud in front of your elder brother? Your elder brother is number one in the city."
Zhou Ye's face suddenly fell, and he looked at Zhou Quan with the eyes of an idol.
"Then study hard and come to the United States to study after high school. I will help you choose the best private university." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Is a private university better than a public university?" Zhou Ye asked doubtfully.
"Generally speaking, private universities in the United States are better. However, there are also many good public universities, such as UCLA, where my eldest brother and second brother studied. Private universities are more expensive." Zhou Quan explained.
"Oh." Zhou Ye nodded.
The family left the airport while being photographed by the media. After having lunch, Zhou Jun went back to school, while Zhou Quan and others flew to Seattle.
At the Seattle Airport, housekeeper Merlan Wellington came to pick him up, and the family came to the villa.
"Wow, yacht, brother, I want to play!"
Before he even got out of the car, Zhou Ye started shouting excitedly.
"A few million is enough to buy dozens of houses in Changsha. Your eldest brother is really a prodigal." Lin Yufen glanced at the yacht and couldn't help but said with distress.
Zeng Li stuck out her tongue quietly. She knew that the millions in Lin Yufen's mouth were in the wrong currency.
After the All-Star Game, Rodman and Schrempf returned, leaving only veteran McMillan to return early next month. However, with the return of the two main players, the SuperSonics lineup is basically complete.
Next, the SuperSonics won three consecutive games after the All-Star Game, with a record of 40 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference and second in the league, still one game behind the Bulls, who also won three consecutive games.
February 18th, New Year’s Eve.
Lin Yufen got up at two o'clock in the morning and cooked the New Year's dinner herself.
In Zhou Quan's hometown, the New Year's Eve dinner is always eaten in the morning, before dawn, and while it's dawn.
Zhou Quan got up at five o'clock, and his mother and father had almost cooked the New Year's dinner. Zeng Li, Zhou Ye, and Zhou Jun all got up earlier than him, and he was the last one to get up.
"Are you used to having New Year's Eve dinner so early?" he asked Zeng Li while yawning.
"I'm used to it. We also eat it in the morning over there," Zeng Li said.
After the New Year dinner, Zhou Quan and his family rushed to the airport with their luggage and took a private plane to Vancouver.
This private plane belongs to Bill Gates. He is going to play against the Bears in an away game tonight. He borrowed it specifically to have a New Year dinner with his family at home. The team flew to Vancouver yesterday afternoon.
After hunting grizzly bears tonight, we can celebrate the New Year together. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There are many Chinese people in Vancouver and the Spring Festival atmosphere is strong. We will celebrate the New Year in Vancouver.
That night, the SuperSonics defeated the Grizzlies and won their 41st victory.
In order to celebrate the New Year, Zhou Quan went all out and scored 38 points in three quarters, which reduced the Grizzlies to scum and ended the game in the third quarter.
He did not attend the post-game press conference and asked for leave. At 11 o'clock, the family returned to the hotel and began to watch the New Year's Eve.
Zhou Quan opened a presidential suite. He had prepared a lot of snacks and fruits during the day, and also went to Chinatown to buy some ready-made dumplings and some small New Year items, which decorated the living room with a New Year atmosphere.
The next morning, Zhou Quan and his family rushed to Chinatown again.
However, he prepared in advance and put on a hat, sunglasses, and a scarf. Although he was taller than ordinary people, there were many foreigners in Chinatown, so no one recognized him.
Chinatown is very lively, and the most lively thing is the lion dance.
"Brother, why are there no dragon lanterns? I didn't see any dragon lanterns in Chinatown in Los Angeles. Dragon lanterns are more lively than lion dances," Zhou Jun said.
"Lion dance has high technical content." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
The family spent a long time in Chinatown and had a lot of fun. It felt like the atmosphere was more lively than in my hometown and more lively than Changsha.
In the afternoon, Zhou Quan flew to Atlanta with the team. There was a back-to-back game in the evening, and his family returned to Seattle.
From then on until February 23, the Sonics, whose lineup had basically recovered, had won six consecutive games since the All-Star Game, with 43 wins and 9 losses, still second in the league.
The Bulls lost back-to-back away games to the Heat last night, with 45 wins and 9 losses. Even with two more games, they were still one game behind the SuperSonics.
Until the end of February, the SuperSonics had won nine consecutive games, with 46 wins and 9 losses.
The Bulls are 47 wins and 9 losses. Even if they play one more game, the winning difference is only 0.5 more than the Sonics.
On March 1, the league announced the MVP ranking list and the best of the month for February.
The Sonics only lost one game in February. Zhou Quan's personal data in February was also the best in the league, averaging 38.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 12.5 assists, 6.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. He won the best in the second month of the season. This is also
The 6th best of the month in his NBA career.
In terms of the MVP rankings, although Jordan's personal data is much lower than Zhou Quan's, his performance is slightly higher than that of the SuperSonics, so he still remains at the top of the rankings for the second consecutive month.
Zhou Quan flew to Boston with the team on the 28th. On the morning of the 1st, Zeng Li sent Zhou Jianguo, Lin Yufen, and Zhou Ye to Los Angeles. Zhou Ye's winter vacation was about to end, and the three of them were going back to China.
On the 3rd, the New York Times reported a piece of news about Jordan with a front-page headline, accompanied by a photo.
It turned out that Jordan's yacht had arrived home and parked at the private dock of his beach house in New York.
Jordan named his yacht Champion, which is 3 meters longer than Zhou Quan's Iron Fist and 37 meters long, making it more luxurious.
He invited a large group of friends and several media reporters to his yacht party, which made it very lively and made a big splash.
“The NBA’s extravagant style started with Iron Fist and Jordan.” Washington Post.
"Let us guess, who is the third NBA superstar to buy a luxury yacht?" New York Times.
“Since Iron Fist, luxury yachts have become standard equipment for sports superstars, and Jordan has followed Iron Fist.” Seattle Post.
"Ha ha……"
Zhou Quan couldn't help laughing after seeing the Seattle Post's report.
As of the 8th, the SuperSonics had won five more games in a row. After the All-Star Game, they had won 14 games in a row, with 51 wins and 9 losses.
The Bulls did not lose during this period, but the number of regular season games played by both teams was the same, with 51 wins and 9 losses, both of which were 60 games. The two teams had one win and one loss, so the records were tied.
But on the night of the 10th, when the SuperSonics defeated the Spurs and continued their winning streak, the Bulls lost on the road, losing to the Knicks.
The Bulls' record became 51 wins and 10 losses, while the SuperSonics' record was 52 wins and 9 losses. The SuperSonics' record officially surpassed the Bulls, one win difference, and rushed to the first place in the league.
But then the Sonics lost to Mosaic again, and the Bulls overtook them again.
Of course Zhou Quan doesn't want to lose. He also managed to survive when Schrempf and Rodman were injured. Now that they are back, of course they want to reach the top.
Jordan didn't want to lose either. He couldn't beat Zhou Quan in terms of personal data, so he just wanted to beat Zhou Quan in terms of record.
However, the Bulls unexpectedly lost at home on the 19th. This was a back-to-back game. They lost to the menacing Kings, thus losing their first place in the league.
Then they lost to the Raptors on the road on the 24th, but fortunately the SuperSonics also lost to the Spurs, so the winning margin was not widened.
Entering April, the regular season has entered its final stage.
On the 1st, the league announced the MVP ranking list, and Zhou Quan surpassed Jordan and ranked first.
Best aspect of the month goes to David Robinson.
On the 5th, veteran McMillan returned, and the Sonics' main rotation lineup was fully restored.
On April 9, the SuperSonics played Mosaic in an away game. At the 7th minute of the third quarter, when Zhou Quan hit a three-pointer, the entire audience was filled with cheers and applause.
At this time, his career scoring record of 10,001 points was displayed on the hanging screen.
This is his fifth season, 398th regular season game, 24 years and 33 days old.
