God of NBA point guards

Chapter 235 G3 Battle

The next morning, ESPN adjusted its predictions for the Eastern Conference finals. The Pistons' chances of advancing to the Finals increased to 55% and the Knicks' 45%.

This is the first time ESPN has adjusted its data in the playoffs, and it is also a forced decision due to the pressure of the Knicks losing at home.

That night, the Western Conference Finals kicked off.

91:105, the Suns played at home, defeated the Sonics, and won the G1 game.

作为球队第一号球星，梦之队的巨星，巴克利14投6中，只得到12分14篮板2助攻1盖帽3失误2犯规的数据。

Zhou Quan noticed the Suns' forward Ceballos, the scoring leader of the Suns tonight, made 12 of 8 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 21 points.

This is a player similar to Ulrich. He dunks and has a monotonous offensive style, but he has a strong ability to hit the basket. He also has no three-pointers and average mid-range shots.

The most difficult thing for the Pistons to defend against is this kind of person, because Rodman can't withstand the impact of this kind of person alone because he can't defend inside.

In addition, he saw the strong bench lineup of the Suns. In this game, 11 people rotated, and 6 substitutes scored a total of 43 points, accounting for 41% of the total points. Two of them scored 10+, not much worse than the main lineup.

And the Suns really like to shoot three-pointers. They made 13 of 4 shots in this game, and their shooting percentage was [-]%.

On May 5, the Eastern Conference Finals G31 game started, but the Pistons lost the game.

The Knicks made 32 free throws, while the Pistons only made 19. Zhou Quan desperately broke through with the ball. He was brought down 6 times and only got 8 free throw opportunities. At the same time, he was called 3 times for walking violations.

另外手感也不好，上场40分钟，17投7中，命中率41.2%，三分球3投0中，8罚7中，拿到了21分6篮板11助攻3抢断1盖帽4失误5犯规的数据。

However, the team is not depressed. After all, the probability of winning two away games in a row is not high. It would be good to win one away game.

On November 6, the Pistons returned to Detroit.

That night, the Western Conference Finals G2 game started.

The Suns lost at home, 103:99, by 4 points.

Five Suns scored in double figures, of which Dan Marley and Barkley scored 29 points and 24 points respectively, but they were unable to beat the Sonics with only three scoring in double figures.

Moreover, the Suns' overall shooting percentage was 4 percentage points higher, 9 more free throws, 5 more blocks, but lost in the number of shots.

The Sonics took 84 shots, and the Suns only had 70 shots, a gap of 14 shots.

What caused this gap was not rebounds. The Suns only lost two rebounds, but they lost on rebounds, because the Suns grabbed 10 offensive rebounds, but the Sonics grabbed 17 offensive rebounds. The opportunity to attack far exceeds the Suns.

In addition, in terms of blocks, although the Suns sent out 13 big caps, among these big caps, they only got the ball 3 times, which is also an important reason for the lack of ball possessions.

The Eastern Conference Finals and the Western Conference Finals were all played one to one, but the media's evaluation of the four teams was divided into two types.

The Suns and Knicks were criticized for losing a home game.

The Sonics and Pistons, who won an away game, were praised.

The G3 game is No. 3, and there is an extra day of rest, which is good news for players on both sides.

On the 2nd, the Knicks arrived in Detroit.

On the 3rd, the G3 battle of the Eastern Conference finals started.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the game has gone on for three quarters, 70:70, the two teams are tied, and this is the 15th tie tonight.

Robert Jeddah praised: "From the beginning of the G2 game, Pat Riley has played a suffocating hand-to-hand iron-blooded defense, especially against the iron fist. This is the Knicks winning the G2 game, many times tonight The reason for the draw with the Pistons."

Ringo Wilson said with a smile: "In G2 and G3, the Knicks' defense against Iron Fist was successful, stronger than in G1.

They set up three lines of defense for the Iron Fist, the first was John Starks, the second was supplementary defense from nearby defenders, and the third was inside.

The Knicks aren't shy about Tekken's passes, but they've achieved defensive goals by speeding up their rotations and not letting the Pistons get wide open. Tekken passed when double-teamed in both games A lot of shots, but his teammates also missed a lot of shots. "

"Everyone has a bad feeling. Now the pressure is on the side of the Pistons. If we lose this home court, the pressure will be even greater." Robert Guida said.

Ringo Wilson said: "In the first three quarters, Ewing performed well. He made 22 of 13 shots and shot 59.1%. Whether it was Rodman, Sekaly, or Polynes, they were all blown up by him. Now in the final quarter Now, Ewing also needs to stand up at the critical moment, he must show the ability to play the key ball."

罗伯特吉达说道：“铁拳前三节12投7中，三分球5投2中，8罚8中，拿到了24分5篮板8助攻3抢断2失误2犯规的数据。

Because he encountered multiple layers of defense today, he made a lot of breakthroughs with the ball in the first two quarters, and there were many free throws. In the third quarter, due to adjustments to his physical fitness, he did not break through again. He took a lot of shots from the outside, but he singled out John Star The effect of Max is actually still good, with a high hit rate.

But now it's the most critical time, a win is [-] to [-], a loss is [-] to [-], and the pressure will be on yourself if you lose, so Iron Fist should stand up, this is a game that the Pistons cannot lose. "

At this time, the final quarter began and the Knicks attacked.

"brush!"

Ewing attacked again, singled Rodman and hit a goal.

"Ewing exploded tonight, with a hit rate of more than [-] percent." Robert Jeddah said in admiration.

Looking back, Zhou Quan broke through with the ball.

He adjusted his physical fitness in the third quarter and didn't make a breakthrough. Just now Chuck Daly asked him to increase the threat of holding the ball in the final quarter, so he started to make a breakthrough again.

He rushed to John Starks first, and then Doc Rivers from the left elbow quickly came to cover the defense. He then rushed to the second line of defense, but he had already lost his speed. He was caught by Ewing and John Starks who was catching up. , Rivers three made dumplings.

But in the three-person double-team, he still saw the assassin with his full-level panoramic vision and passed the ball through the gap.

"boom!"

The assassin who got a wide open shot made a jumper, but missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was grabbed by Ewing.

"Ugh!"

The audience was full of sighs from the Pistons fans, and the assassin hated himself so much that he gritted his teeth and kept hitting his right hand.

Next, Ewing succeeded again, slipped past Rodman, and hit the basket with a dunk.

Looking back, Zhou Quan was double-teamed again, and he was going to pass to the assassin, but the Knicks' rotation speed was too fast. When the assassin got the ball, Oakley had already jumped in front of him. Missed the shot and the rebound was taken by Mason.

The Knicks attacked, King Kong Ewing broke out, the rabbit jumped and then made a jumper, hitting the third goal in the final quarter in a row, beating the Pistons [-]-[-].

Zhang Lili exclaimed: "25 of 16 shots, Ewing's hit rate reached 64%, the state is too good."

"To score, the assassin missed two shots in a row. He doesn't feel the touch now. Don't give him the ball anymore." Sun Zhenping said urgently.

"The morale of the Knicks is up, the Pistons have to hold on!" Zhang Reasonable encouraged.

76:70, the Pistons trailed by 6 points and called a timeout after serving.

"Core to core, now Iron Fist is going to stand up, Ewing scored six points in a row, you should stand up and score instead of passing the ball. You have to use offense to suppress the opponent. Only in this way can the opponent's momentum be suppressed." Robert Ji Da said seriously.

"At the critical moment, it depends on the performance of the core of both sides. If the core cannot stand up, the morale of the others will not improve." Ringo Wilson said.

Robert Guida joked: "If the core doesn't stand up at this time, then he will definitely be questioned, just like Ewing in the G1 game.

And if someone else stands up at this time, the pressure on the core will be even greater, because at critical moments, he can only count on his teammates, just like the Iron Fist in the Eastern Conference Finals last year. "

At this point the timeout ends and the Pistons attack.

The assassin took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the left wing the right to play.

As soon as Zhou Quan received the ball, he felt great defensive pressure. He seemed to feel that all the Knicks' defensive attention was on him.

It is certain that as long as he breaks through with the ball, he will also encounter many volleys, and there will definitely be vacant teammates.

In contrast, as a point guard, he thinks that he is forced to shoot, it is better to let the open teammates shoot.

But the Assassins missed two shots, and the Knicks' rotation speed was very fast. He had to consider the consequences of his teammates' missed shots. Do it yourself and solve the problem yourself.

And just now, Chuck Daly also asked him to score.

"Come on, Iron Fist, you're nothing more than that."

On the opposite side, John Starks, who remembers eating but not fighting, challenged.

In the three quarters tonight, John Starks made 10 of 4 shots and 4 of 1 three-pointers. He only scored 9 points and made three turnovers. With such a performance, he just didn't understand how this guy had the confidence to provoke him.

"squeak!"

The next moment, he launched a breakthrough, from the outside, the side close to the middle, and made a strong frontal step.

John Starks retreated quickly, his left shoulder was hanging on Zhou Quan's left shoulder, he leaned back and fell directly to the ground.

Zhou Quan's sudden momentum stagnated, and the next moment he exerted his strength again, rushing towards the left elbow area.

The referee did not blow the whistle and followed Zhou Quan.

"Break in!" Sun Zhenping excitedly said.

"Be careful with Rivers." At this moment, Zhang Li said anxiously.

Doc Rivers came in from the high post to help and just in time set up a second line of defense at the left elbow.

The Assassins had an open space, but Zhou Quan could see from the full-level panoramic vision that Oakley, who was defending Joe Dumars from the right-wing three-point line, had already pounced on the Assassins, and Mason, who was on the right waist, had pounced on Joe Dumars, so He didn't score the ball, but continued to break through.

After a slight deceleration, he immediately changed direction and accelerated to stride over others, and then rushed into Rivers from the left elbow area into the paint area.

Rivers grabbed Zhou Quan's jersey and chased him in, followed by John Starks who got up to catch up. Ewing, who was low on the left wing, also returned to the basket, and the three chased and intercepted Zhou Quan.

Low on the left wing, beyond the left line of the paint, Sekali is reaching for the ball, and he's open.

But Zhou Quan didn't make a pass, and headed towards the basket. He jumped up one step ahead of Ewing, held the ball high in his right hand, and made a gesture of dunking.

The next moment, Ewing in front of him, John Starks behind him, and Rivers on the left all jumped at the same time to block the shot.

"One pick three!"

Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.

The moment before he hit Ewing head-on, Zhou Quan's right hand holding the ball suddenly deflected outwards, passing Ewing's left hand, and then pressed harder on the opponent's left forearm to smash down with the ball.

"boom!"

The next moment, at the same time as it hit Ewing, the basketball was smashed into the basket by him, and Ewing was also knocked over by him, and he hung on the basket with one hand.

"Oh hoo!"

The Palace of Mount Auburn instantly turned into a sea of ​​boiling water.

"Foul! Offensive foul!"

John Starks was in a hurry and shouted at the referee.

The noise was too loud, and the referee didn't hear him yelling anything, but just made a gesture of scoring two points, fouling the thugs, and adding a free throw.

"Two plus one, Zhou Quan played two plus one, Ewing made the fourth offense, the fourth offense." Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "This attack was too resolute. At the critical moment, Zhou Quan stood up and attacked the basket. He directly dunked the opponent's super center. While scoring, he also suppressed the opponent's morale."

"It's so beautiful! The point guard directly dunks the super center. How explosive is this?" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

On the sidelines, Chuck Daly raised his fist excitedly, while on the other side, Pat Riley shook his head.

His team's rotation is really fast, just like the Bulls, they don't give their opponents a wide open, and they did it just now, without giving Joe Dumars and the assassins a large open.

But also because of the rotation, Mason left the low post to complement Joe Dumars, which weakened the defense in the penalty area, which allowed Zhou Quan to succeed in one-on-three.

He believed that if it was Ewing plus Mason, or Oakley, Zhou Quan would not dare to go in for a [-]v[-], and he would definitely be brought down directly.

But this is rotation, and there is no perfect defensive tactic, and he has to bear some disadvantages of this defensive system.

Standing on the free throw line, Zhou Quan looked back at John Starks near the center line and said, "Hey, lunatic, how much do you look down on me, why didn't you defend me just now? Look, it's because you didn't defend Me, let me go in and detain King Kong one."

"Ha ha……"

Rodman immediately laughed strangely.

John Starks blushed with anger, seeing Ewing looking at him with a bad face, he quickly looked away.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan scored the 27th point with an additional penalty.

76:73, the Pistons are still 3 points behind at home, and the Knicks attack.
