Chapter 355: NBA's Super Bowl
David Stern personally called him to inquire about the truth of the matter, and he replied: "Mr. Stern, no matter what, I will continue to play in the NBA."

"That's good……"

David Stern was relieved when he heard He Zhongqiu's almost guaranteed words. He also made a guarantee and said:
"Wolverine, after this contract of yours ends, you will get a unique contract. I have discussed this with Mr. James Dolan. The Knicks will compensate you with sponsorship and endorsements."

"Mr. Stern, Michael told me that he is negotiating with the Charlotte Bobcats and may become a minority shareholder of the team?" He Zhongqiu asked tentatively.

"Yes, Michael does have a chance to become a minority owner of a team again."

David Stern immediately understood what He Zhongqiu meant, but the league has a rule that active players cannot own team shares, so he immediately said:

"I have always supported influential stars like Michael and you to continue to develop in the NBA after retirement.

Wolverine, if you have the same idea as Michael, I support you."

"OK."

He Zhongqiu ended the first attempt.

As long as the environment in the United States allows, it will be early for him to retire and he is not in a hurry to own a team.

"Mike, build me a professional sprint team." After the call, he called Mike Johnson.
"Boss, have you decided to give it a try?" Mike Johnson asked excitedly.

He Zhongqiu said: "What that person said is right, the Big Shark is old, and I don't need such a strong force in the league now.

Strengthening the explosive power of the lower limbs and improving speed will not hinder me from playing in the NBA, so why not give it a try?

I also think that there won’t be many opportunities for boxing and fighting matches in the future, so if sprinting is possible, I will use it instead of boxing.”

Mike Johnson said: "Boss, I support your idea. But I suggest you also try high jump and long jump. Professor Horry suggested that you try these two sports."

"That's great, you can form teams for both sports at the same time." He Zhongqiu did not refuse and agreed immediately.

This news also alarmed Feng Shuyong and Sun Haiping.

The former is the deputy director of the Track and Field Management Center and the head coach of the track and field team, while the latter is the deputy head coach and the coach of the sprint team, as well as the head coach of Liu Xiang.

Currently, the two are preparing for the 08 Yanjing Olympics and are under tremendous pressure.

Liu Xiang won the gold medal at the 04 Athens Olympics, becoming a legend for the Chinese in the 110 hurdles at the Olympics. Defending the title in 08 became the most important hope for the track and field team.

However, in February this year, he sprained his left foot while climbing the stairs after training. Although he recovered, he was left with a hidden injury risk.

"Hai Ping, do you think this news is true?"

"I'm not sure about that. He Zhongqiu hasn't publicly admitted it either."

"I don't know, can he sprint? He's too tall, can he really run?"

"I don't know. The Jamaican Bolt is 196 centimeters tall, which is amazing. But he's 211 centimeters? That's too tall!"

"How about this, I contact him?"

"Do you have his contact information?"

"Yes, I saw him in 04."

At around ten o'clock in the morning on the 24th, He Zhongqiu received a call from Feng Shuyong.

His phone had Feng Shuyong's identity written on it, so he answered the call immediately and said, "Hello, Director Feng, how come you have time to call me?"

"Hello, Mid-Autumn Festival."

Feng Shuyong got straight to the point. After the greetings, he immediately asked, "That Mid-Autumn Festival, that news yesterday, you wanted to do a short-distance race..."

"Oh, yes, I do want to try it. If it works, I'll run. If it doesn't work, there's nothing to say." He Zhongqiu said.

"Oh……"

Feng Shuyong thought about it before calling, and asked again: "If it's okay, I'll register you at the Farm Management Center?"

"Okay, then thank you Director Feng." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"It's okay, this is my job."

Feng Shuyong added: "Zhongqiu, if you really can run, I have a suggestion. You can also try the 110 hurdles."

"110 columns?"

Feng Shuyong said: "Yes, I have seen you play basketball, your coordination and balance are all good, plus your height, hurdles are very easy for you.

But I'm just suggesting it, an idea, you can try it when you're training for sprints and see the effect."

"Okay, I'll try." He Zhongqiu said.

Afterwards, He Zhongqiu received a call from Liu Xiang.

The two met in 04. Liu Xiang was one month older than He Zhongqiu, and they kept in touch occasionally.

"Zhongqiu, do you really want to change your career?"

"Haha, just give it a try, you won't suffer any loss."

"You're playing in the NBA, boxing, fighting, making movies, and now you're entering track and field. WX, can you handle it?"

"Not bad, hehe!"

After Liu Xiang, Dayao also called.

"Zhongqiu, what are you doing?"

"What are you talking about? When I win the 100-meter championship at the Yanjing Olympics, you'll be ready to kneel before me."

"Zhongqiu, let me tell you something. If you really succeed, I will kneel down before you."

"Wait."

He Zhongqiu naturally had some confidence to dare to try sprinting.

His explosive power is level 108, but his speed is only level 90. The gap is quite large. He thinks he has great potential in speed.

He analyzed the reasons for this: one is height, and the other is the strength of the lower limbs.

But what does speed depend on? It's stride length + stride frequency.

Given his height, his stride is undoubtedly among the best.

According to current sprinting theory, 175-185 cm is the golden height, but Mike Johnson told him that there was a 196 cm Bolt who also ran very fast.

Therefore, the theory that the golden height is 175-185 cm is not necessarily correct. Bolt, who is 196 cm tall, can do it, but why can't he, who is 211 cm tall, even have the courage to try?

If height is not the determining factor in sprinting, then what affects speed is step frequency.

The factors that affect cadence are first the explosive power of the lower limbs and then the sprinting technique.

Both of these factors can be solved through professional training.

On the evening of the 24th, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off, and the Mavericks easily defeated the Clippers at home.

On the evening of the 25th, Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals began.

In the first attack of the first quarter, He Zhongqiu got the ball in the low post on the left wing, and with his back arched, terrifying power erupted.

"how is this possible?"

The great shark weighing 160 kilograms was actually knocked over. When he fell backwards, he couldn't believe that he was knocked over under the top defense.

"Oh ho!"

Seeing this scene, Madison Square Garden immediately boiled over.

"boom!"

He Zhongqiu turned around, took a step forward and suddenly slammed it over the basket with one hand.

"Wolverine, you are number one in the world, the king of the NBA." Spike Lee, the Knicks' number one fan, shouted excitedly.

This attack greatly encouraged the morale of the Knicks, but also greatly hit the morale of the Heat. Wade did not count on O'Neal, and in the first attack, he desperately started to break through.

"Squeak..."

With the friction sound of his sneakers, he took a series of European steps and broke through the two lines of defense of Josh Howard and Battier, then ran along the baseline to the right side of the penalty area and made a close-range jump shot to Varejao.

Varejao jumped up to block the shot, but was more than a foot short.

But at this moment, a mountain suddenly rose up behind Valanciunas, and a giant hand grabbed the basketball that flew over Valanciunas' head.

"Take it!"

With a precise Eagle Claw move, He Zhongqiu grabbed the ball from the sky.

"Blocked shot! Roar, roar, look, oh my God, Wolverine is almost touching the top of the backboard." The commentator on the scene shouted.

"Oh oh oh..."

The whole audience burst into loud cheers and shouts.

Looking at He Zhongqiu, Wade swallowed his throat. How could he beat this monster?

A minute later, He Zhongqiu moved to the left waist position three meters away to receive the ball, then used a chaotic step to shake off Haslem and rushed to the basket with the ball.

He took two steps to the left waist position, and after seeing O'Neal take a step out from under the basket, he took a step forward without any hesitation.

At this moment, he was like an eagle flying in the sky, holding the ball high in his right hand like a battle axe.

"So high!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw that the ball held high by He Zhongqiu was actually close to the top of the backboard.

This also includes O'Neal, who jumped from the left front side of the basket to block the shot. Because he had enough time, he jumped with all his strength, and with his amazing weight, he jumped about 60 centimeters.

But when he reached the highest point, he suddenly realized that he could only look level with He Zhongqiu's chest.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

The mid-air collision happened instantly, and He Zhongqiu's explosive power of level 108 was demonstrated perfectly. His cut-in dunk created a terrifying impact force, which even O'Neal, with a tonnage of 160 kilograms, could not stop.

"Oh! Ouch!"

Seeing O'Neal being knocked away, the 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden immediately burst into huge exclamations, which then turned into tsunami-like cheers.

"Brutal! So brutal! Wolverine is using the most brutal cut-in dunk to destroy Shaquille O'Neal." The roar of the commentator on the scene resounded over the stadium.

"God, Wolverine's body is so strong, as if it were made of iron. He is not afraid of getting hurt at all." Bill Walton exclaimed.

"Can the Great Shark ever stand up again?" Hubie Brown sighed.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhang Heli shouted excitedly: "Zhongqiu cut in from the front and dunked over Shaquille O'Neal. This is the most powerful dunk ever."

"The Big Shark should retire, otherwise he will lose his reputation in his later years." Yu Jia said excitedly.

After landing, O'Neal took two steps back, then fell to the ground and slid backwards two meters. He lay on the ground panting, his eyes looking up at the sky, his mind blank and a look of confusion.

Wade ran up and asked in panic, "Shaq, are you okay?"

"What happened?"

O'Neill asked dazedly, panting.

"God!" Wade said in pain.

Because of the strong collision and fall, O'Neal suffered a severe brain concussion and temporary amnesia and was substituted off the court.

When he was leaving, the memory he had just lost came back.

He gasped and looked back at He Zhongqiu. Why was that guy becoming more and more terrifying?

Next, without the distraction of the Great Shark, He Zhongqiu began various gorgeous performances in the penalty area.

On the defensive end, he showed exaggerated jumping ability and blocked all kinds of shots on Wade who was breaking through. In half a quarter, he blocked 3 shots on Wade, which made Wade feel so bad that he vomited acid in his stomach and ate too much hotpot.

O'Neal came back on the court afterwards, but still couldn't solve the problem and the Heat played very poorly.

"Wade's mid-range shooting is too bad and his playing style is too extreme. And he just happened to run into Wolverine. Sigh!" Looking at Wade who made 4 of 0 shots, Bill Walton shook his head.

Hubie Brown said: "I think the combination of Wade and O'Neal can play even if they meet Nowitzki's Mavericks in the finals. I think they have a good chance. The Mavericks must double-team the Big Shaq, and Wade will have a chance.

But the Knicks don’t even have a chance to fight against the Wolverines now, because the Wolverines’ restricted area defense is too strong.”

Bill Walton said: "It's mainly because Wolverine defends Shaq alone, and the Knicks can focus on double-teaming Wade.

Wade was double-teamed every time, and when he got into the restricted area, his speed was gone, so it was easier for the Wolverines to defend him in the restricted area. "

In the CCTV live studio, Zhang Heli happily analyzed: "If Wade had a mid-range shot, he wouldn't have to be as good as Kobe, and he wouldn't have played so badly."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "Coach Zhang, Kobe's mid-range shot is also good."

Zhang Heli laughed and said, "It's not as accurate as the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Yu Jia also laughed and nodded, "Zhongqiu is a high-altitude turret outside, especially when shooting with one hand, and the other hand can hold off the defender."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "His mid-range shooting was good in the regular season, and even more accurate in the playoffs, with a hit rate of over 50%. This hit rate is the same as that of Jordan in his prime."

"Mid-range shot, God's weapon." Yu Jia said with a smile.

In this game, He Zhongqiu also played less low-post offense. On the offensive end, he mainly pulled out for mid-range shots or cut in for dunks, and then played more fast breaks.

The success rate of mid-range shots is over 50%, and the success rate of cut-in dunks and fast breaks is even higher.

What excited New York fans the most was the slam dunk. After O'Neal came on the court again, he gave up on defense. He Zhongqiu, with his strong body, made all kinds of brutal attacks on the basket even more unscrupulously.

首节打满，他11投9中，3罚3中，单节轰下21分3篮板5盖帽1抢断，打出爆表的表现。

奥尼尔首节打了7分钟，3投1中，只得2分2篮板。

The Flash played the full 12 minutes in the first quarter, made only 11 of 2 shots, was blocked four times by He Zhongqiu, had a ball intercepted, and shot all from outside in the second half.

In the first quarter, at 15:35, the Knicks won by 20 points in a single quarter.

"Who else can defeat a person like this except for injuries?"

Pat Riley was extremely disappointed. Looking at He Zhongqiu who was leaving the field, there was a very obvious look of confusion on his face.

At the end of the game, the score was 62:115, and the Knicks won again.

贺中秋照样三节打卡，22投18中，命中率高达82.7%，8罚8中，轰下44分10篮板10盖帽3抢断2失误3犯规的三双数据。

In the second and third quarters, he reduced his offense and gave more opportunities to his teammates. After all, his teammates also need to perform, otherwise no one would be willing to play beside him.

At the end of the game, Bill Walton said: "The Heat have no chance against such a violent Wolverine. If they can't seize the opportunity in the next two home games, they will be swept by the Wolverine."

"Yes, there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference Finals," said Hubie Brown.

"But, in terms of ratings..."

Bill Walton paused for a moment, pressing the headset, with an excited smile on his face, and said: "Congratulations to the league. Although there was no suspense in this game, the average viewership was as high as 3620 million."

"Oh! Haha..."

Hubie Brown exclaimed, then laughed, “This rating was incredible before Wolverine showed up.

Michael Jordan's highest-rated finals only had over 30 million viewers, but not as many as Wolverine. This data only belongs to the Super Bowl."

"I hope the finals will be the Super Bowl of the NBA, and even more so the Super Bowl of the Wolverines." Bill Walton used these words to wish the Knicks advance to the finals.

But no one objected to this statement, including the fans of the Miami Heat. The fans of the Heat really saw no chance of their team turning the tables, not even a single chance.
