God of NBA point guards

Chapter 237 Just Tonight
At eight o'clock, the game begins.

Sekali and Ewing have never won the jump ball, and this time is the same.

The Knicks attack, Ewing goes to the basket, and Charles Smith is active in the low post on the right wing.

Rodman defended Ewing and Sekali defended Smith.

Doc Rivers held the ball to the top of the arc, and the Assassins blocked the pass angle to the basket. He took two steps to the left.

"Mediocre passing ability." TNT commentary, Robert Guida said.

Ewing received the ball, and Rodman defended with all his strength in the back.

Zhang He understood and said: "The big bug's center of gravity is very low. Only in this way can he make himself resist Ewing's back attack like a horse, and focus on preventing breakthroughs. With his height and such a low center of gravity, it is impossible to prevent it." Stop Ewing's shot."

"boom!"

Ewing jumped and then took the jumper, the touch was not hot, and it was a little bit off.

Sekali protected the backcourt rebound, and immediately glanced at the outside line, and saw that the three guards had turned around and rushed down. The boss Zhou Quan had already taken a step away from John Starks, and he hurriedly passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

Charles Smith stretched out his hand and actually touched it.

"Oops! Oh, the big bug..."

The bearded John Rowes, the on-site commentator, exclaimed.

Fortunately, Rodman was nearby, and the ball happened to be hit on his head by Smith, and he caught it.

"Be careful." Chuck Daly roared sharply.

Rodman's vision was not enough, and Ewing was beside him, so he couldn't pass the ball in the first time, so he had to stop first and wait for his teammates to come back to respond.

The three of Zhou Quan had already run back. The assassin received the ball and handed it to Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan quickly advanced to the frontcourt and launched an attack without waiting for Rodman and Sekali to take their positions.

At this time, not only Rodman and Sekali were still in the backcourt, but also Ewing and Smith, who were counterattacking on the spot, were the same. There were only six outside lines from both sides in the frontcourt.

Zhou Quan entered the frontcourt from the right wing, accelerated his stride, and directly rushed to John Starks in front of him from the outside.

Doc Rivers followed the assassin to the top of the arc, and after seeing Zhou Quan's actions, he could only return to the basket to defend.

At this time, Joe Dumars, who ran to the left-wing three-point line, changed direction, bypassed Oakley, and quickly cut inward to the basket.

Zhou Quan hit the right waist with the ball, and instead of attacking Doc Rivers, he passed the ball across. Rivers turned around in a hurry, and Joe Dumars, who came in from the left wing, had already received the ball and jumped.

"boom!"

One-handed dunk, Doc Rivers was hit and staggered back.

"Oh, beautiful, well done, Iron Fist assisted Joe Dumars to dunk Doc Rivers." The bearded John Rowes shouted excitedly.

"Our offensive tactics are still fast break and defensive counterattack. John Starks and Oakley can't keep up with Iron Fist and Joe Dumars. We have an advantage in overall speed." The bespectacled dragon Glenn Si laughed.

Looking back, the Knicks attacked.

Oakley's position on the offensive end is generally near the three-point line. As a power forward, his offense at the basket and low post are quite few, and most of them are two points away.

Rivers handed the ball to him, and he faced Joe Dumars' defense. He had a high advantage, but he couldn't take advantage of the dislocation advantage of playing big and small, and passed the ball back to Rivers.

At this time, John Starks ran from the left wing to the top of the arc, and Rivers hurriedly passed the ball. Before Zhou Quan could catch up, the former quickly shot a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan squeezed Rivers away, took off from the side to block the block, John Starks shot was quite fast, and did not touch the ball.

"boom!"

But the ball missed and Rodman grabbed the rebound.

"Oakley plays small forward on the offensive end and has no offensive ability with the ball. This is a flaw in the Knicks lineup." Robert Guida said.

Ringer Wilson said: "Pat Riley replaced Charles Smith and Doc Rivers with Mark Jackson in the offseason. He originally hoped that Smith would play the third position, but Smith couldn't play, so he had to let Oakley come. beat."

Robert Guida said: "So the Knicks will be passive tactically, because the Pistons have played a small speed advantage, and the fast break and defensive counterattack are very good, but the Knicks have not played a large game. Small height advantage."

Ringer Wilson nodded and said: "So I am more optimistic about the Pistons' advancement. The Knicks' lineup is still flawed, and they were caught by the Pistons."

The assassin pushed the ball across the center line and saw that Zhou Quan didn't ask for the ball, so he gave it to Joe Dumars on the right wing.

The three stretched apart, Zhou Quan was close to the left line, and Joe Dumars was close to the right line, which made it difficult for the Knicks to attack the three of them from the outside.

Joe Dumars received the ball. Oakley didn't dare to hit him with the ball just now, but he dared to hit Oakley with the ball. He first took a step back after dribbling, and then suddenly started, sticking to the right line and rushing down.

Oakley immediately retreated, but at this moment, Joe Dumars turned around and broke into the three-point line from the inside, also breaking into Oakley.

"Oh!"

"Di!"

Oakley, who was suddenly pushed, pushed Joe Dumas to the ground, and then the referee's whistle sounded.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The Knicks' defensive system is impossible to quickly rotate positions when the outside line is opened.

When the low-post players come up to pinch, there is likely to be a gap inside. At this time, Zhou Quan and his three guards' passes can play a role. "

Sun Zhenping nodded and said, "Indeed, the three guards are all All-Stars who can shoot and pass. They all have three-pointers. The Knicks are really difficult to defend from the outside."

At this time, the Pistons served from the sideline, Zhou Quan received the ball, made a tentative step, made a false and real shot, and tried to shoot a three-pointer.

Even Jordan couldn't defend against his breakthrough with the ball, so no defender in the entire league dared to ignore his breakthrough with the ball. A fake and sudden action directly swayed John Starks back, and then made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Missed, but Sekali was good, nodding the ball over Smith's head, and then Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound.

Pat Riley on the sidelines was very disappointed. He regretted trading Charles Smith. His state fell too quickly, his offense was weak, and his rebounding was not good.

Zhou Quan ran to the left bottom corner, and Rodman threw the ball over. After catching the ball, he immediately pushed his hands towards the penalty area. John Starks, who was chasing him, squeaked and looked at the penalty area.

"Fake fax?"

Immediately, he realized that he had been fooled, and when he looked back, Zhou Quan was already in midair.

"brush!"

This time, there was a splash and a three-pointer was hit from the left bottom corner.

Robert Jeddah smiled and said: "Two shots, the first is a false sudden shot, the second is a false fax shot, Iron Fist has perfectly combined the three of the sudden shot and pass, this is his ball-holding threat , no one dares to ignore any of his fake moves, because he can turn any fake move into a real move, he is a natural ball-handling core."

Ringo Wilson said: "I made 2 of 1 three-pointers. Iron Fist has always made very few three-pointers. Tonight, I will try to shoot a three-pointer. Robert, what does this mean?"

"It means that he believes in his hand feeling today, and his confidence is bursting." Robert Guida laughed.

Ringo Wilson took a deep breath, and said a little excitedly: "What kind of performance can a superstar bursting with confidence really be worth looking forward to!"

"Of course. I hope the Knicks can also play a good performance, don't let this game appear one-sided." Robert Guida said.

"John Starks was locked with an iron fist, and the Knicks only looked at Ewing's performance. Now the Pistons are 3 of 2 shots, and the Knicks are 2 of 0 shots. The score is 0:5, and the Pistons lead at home." Ringo Wilson Said.

"brush!"

Ringo Wilson was right. The Knicks' offense depends on Ewing. He made a turnaround jumper over Rodman's head and hit a goal.

"Quick attack!"

The next moment, the roar of the bearded John Rowes sounded in the Palace of Auburn Hills.

This time, Zhou Quan and Qiao Dumas quickly descended from the left and right wings, and the assassin stayed behind to respond.

Sekali received the ball under the basket, immediately retreated to the bottom line and sent it to the assassin first. At this time, both Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars had left John Starks and Oakley behind. Zhou Quan was given.

Zhou Quan took the ball into the right wing and threw the ball casually at the right waist. The next moment, Joe Dumas, who rushed down from the left elbow, flew up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed forward.

At this moment, countless Pistons fans tensed their bodies, clenched their fists, and opened their mouths wide.

"boom!"

"Oh hoo!"

The next moment, countless people clenched their fists and shouted and cheered, and there was a huge sound from the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"The Knicks still want to win, so they have to make substitutions. John Starks can't keep up with Iron Fist. At least someone must be able to keep up with Joe Dumars." Robert Guida said.

"2:7, serve, the Knicks called a timeout." Ringo Wilson said.

Pat Riley had a godfather face, and combed his back hair with his hands, trying to make his mind clearer. His eyes were so deep that Ewing was a little scared when he saw his eyes.

His image is very well-known in the United States. In the movie Wall Street staged in 87, the hairstyle of the protagonist Michael Douglas was copied from his back, and this role also won the Oscar for Best Actor.

The G2 game can be won, one is the home field advantage, and the other is the tactical opponent.

In terms of tactics, first of all, the defense was strong, and the Pistons did not play too many fast breaks and defensive counterattacks. This ensured that the Knicks won the G2 game.

But at the beginning of today, the Knicks did not defend against the Pistons' offense. He knew that he needed to make changes, otherwise if the Pistons continued to play like this, with Ewing's psychological quality, there might be big problems.

Tonight's game, for the Knicks, is a game that cannot be lost, and he must win this away game.

But the people in his hands are not enough.

Mason is too heavy, and his speed will definitely not be able to keep up with Joe Dumars. He is going to replace the backup guard Greg Anthony, let him face the assassins, and let Doc Rivers defend Joe Dumars. Don't suffer.

He doesn't intend to replace Oakley, the Knicks cannot do without Oakley on the defensive end, and Smith can't withstand the Pistons' three perimeter attacks.

"Listen, although Iron Fist's first two shots were three-pointers, but he mainly focuses on breakthroughs, and focuses on breakthrough tactics, so the defense against him should still focus on preventing breakthroughs."

"Offensively, give the ball to Patrick, and John Starks will use your off-ball movement to contain the iron fist and try to bring him as close to the sideline as possible."

He thought it would be extremely cost-effective to use one John Starks to contain Zhou Quan's defense. Unfortunately, in the first three games, only John Starks completed this task in the second game.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

"Oh, the Knicks replaced Charles Smith, Oakley returned to the [-]th position, and Greg Anthony played the [-]st position." Ringo Wilson said quickly.

Greg Anthony is three centimeters shorter than the Assassins, with a shoe height of only 183 centimeters, and is also two kilograms lighter, with a tonnage of only 80 kilograms. The speed is very fast, and it must be faster than the current Assassins. This is Pat Riley in 91. Reason for choosing him.

He catches the ball, makes a pull gesture, and he wants to single the assassin.

He wanted to show off the Assassin, no matter how bad the Assassin was, he was also a former superstar and the core of the famous Bad Boys Legion. Being able to step on him would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention for him.

John Starks pulled nicely close to the left line.

Zhou Quan adopted a line defense, two meters away from Starks, that is to say, he took a step, cutting off the pass and receiving route of the opponent and Greg Anthony, while maintaining the opportunity to help defend against the top of the arc.

But Starks ran down immediately, and he had to keep up, losing the opportunity to help defend the top of the arc.

"Pass the ball!"

But at this moment, Pat Riley's cruel roar sounded from the sidelines.

Greg Anthony was taken aback when the Assassin stepped up to poke the ball.

"Back the ball!"

The bearded commentator reacted the fastest, and the moment the steal happened, his roar sounded immediately.

Zhou Quan turned around and ran to the front field. John Starks's nerve reaction speed was not as fast as his, and his speed was not as fast as him. He fell behind him from the start and couldn't catch up with him anymore.

On the right wing, Joe Dumars was overtaken by Doc Rivers.

At this time, the assassin controlled the ball well and hit the basket. Anthony was close to him. Instead of forcing the shot, he pulled to the left wing and turned around to pass the ball.

"boom!"

"Oh hoo!"

Zhou Quan slanted into the basket from the right wing, took off from the right waist, caught the ball with one hand in the air, and dunked with one hand, detonating the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"John Starks' speed is indeed a big disadvantage. The reason why he was not selected is the key factor." Robert Guida shook his head.

"Joe Dumars kept up, but Iron Fist couldn't do anything about it. The Knicks didn't have a second guard who could keep up with Iron Fist. Even Rivers was not as fast as Iron Fist." Ringo Wilson said.

Robert Jida shook his head and said: "Defending an iron fist requires not only speed, but also tonnage, who can block his impact?
The Knicks have Rivers, Starks, Blackman, Anthony, four guards, and a 201 cm forward. None of these five people is suitable for defending the Iron Fist.

John Starks, the best defender among the five, is as tall as Iron Fist, but 8 kg lighter, not only slower than Iron Fist, but also inferior in confrontation ability. "

"So the Knicks still can't defend the Pistons' three-guard fast-break tactics." Ringo Wilson said.

The Knicks attacked, this time Greg Anthony didn't dare to play the assassin alone, Pat Riley's sight frightened him like a bayonet, if he dared to mess around again, he would definitely be replaced.

And Pat Riley really intends to do so. He doesn't understand what the idiot Anthony is thinking. He only shot 41.7% in the regular season and only 40% in the first two rounds of the playoffs. How dare you single the assassin? ?No matter how low the strength of other assassins is, the experience of superstars is also there. Do you think you are an iron fist?
Ewing received the ball, leaned against Rodman, and immediately turned around and slipped to the bottom. Rodman quickly retreated to the defense, and Ewing made a throw through the defender.

"4:9, Ewing made [-] of [-] shots, the touch should be up." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Fast attack again." Sun Zhenping shouted anxiously at this time.

It was the assassin who stayed in the backcourt to receive and pass the ball, Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars went off quickly.

This is a small change made by Chuck Daly, because the assassins cannot play fast break tactics for a long time, and their injuries, physical fitness and speed cannot keep up.

This time, Starks tried his best and finally managed to keep pace with Zhou Quan.

At this time, Zhou Quan slowed down to catch the ball, and then accelerated again, holding the ball on the right wing and making a breakthrough, and there were constant small changes in direction, forcing John Starks to keep running towards the basket, turning around and standing. There is no chance of defense.

Joe Dumars stopped at the left-wing three-point line and held Doc Rivers there, preventing him from getting back to the basket.

Zhou Quan entered the penalty area from the right elbow, slowed down slightly, and was ready to finish the shot.

At this time, John Starks, who had just rushed to the basket, gritted his teeth and turned around, trying to stop in advance.

At this moment, the 96-level nerve reaction speed allowed Zhou Quan to make the fastest reaction and take off directly before Starks' step.

As soon as John Starks turned his head, he saw Zhou Quan flying on top of his head. He couldn't help shrinking his head in fright, and instinctively put his head in his hands to dodge.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan split his legs, and while smashing the basket, he rode on the opponent's neck, and then knocked him over, slipping backwards.

"Oh hoo!"

In the Palace of Auburn Hills, countless people jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and shouting.

"Riding buckle! Iron fist riding dunk lunatic John Starks, haha, overwhelmed defense, this is the most exciting moment tonight!"

The bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

"The fast break maximizes Iron Fist's incomparable attacking ability. I believe we will be able to destroy the Iron-Blooded Knicks today and win the match point leading to the finals." The bespectacled dragon Gellands roared equally excitedly. .

Robert Jeddah shook his head and said: "On and off the court, the Knicks players bowed their heads, and hundreds of visiting team fans who came from afar were also very silent, and the morale of the Knicks plummeted.

At this time, Patrick Ewing must stand up. If he can't stand up, the morale of the Knicks is likely to be broken by the Pistons. "

On the field, Zhou Quan's snarl was loud: "Guys, just tonight, we will kill them. We will never allow them to take away the victory from our home court. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Under the leadership of the assassins and Rodman, the Knicks shouted in unison.
