God of NBA point guards

Chapter 242 You Are A Dish
Compared with the nervousness of the Suns starters, the atmosphere on the visiting team is quite, very relaxed.

Five starters, Secali and Zhou Quan are rookies in the finals, but Mark Aguirre, Joe Dumars, and Rodman are all two consecutive winners with rich experience. Talking, consciously relieving the tension of the two rookies in the finals.

"It's on stage."

The staff opened the door and shouted.

"Huh! Let's go."

Zhou Quan let out a long breath, got up and greeted, and walked towards the door first.

Players, plus staff and security personnel, more than a dozen people, dense footsteps sounded in the dim corridor.

The corridor was arc-shaped, and when approaching the straight path of the player tunnel, Zhou Quan saw Barkley emerging from the opposite corridor.

"Hey, Fliggy, you have played so many seasons, congratulations, you have reached the finals for the first time, you have to cherish it, this may be the only finals in your life." Zhou Quan said loudly.

"Haha...the only time? Haha..." Rodman laughed.

As a well-known villain in the alliance, Barkley was so angry that his nose was crooked. He immediately glared at Zhou Quan and shouted, "Iron Fist, are you looking for trouble?"

"That's right, aren't we still short of a boxing match? The postman's side is about to be settled, or if you are behind him, I will fight two times in a row?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"It's a wrestling, not a boxing match." Barkley quickly corrected.

"Don't you dare to fight me?"

"It's you who dare not fall with me."

"You are just relying on your weight. Do you know how to wrestle? Otherwise, if you lose 20 kilograms, I will wrestle with you, and then we will fight again in the boxing ring?"

"Are you crazy? I can't lose weight, why didn't you gain weight?"

Barkley dared to agree, because he knew what Iron Fist said was very true. He had only learned wrestling for a few days in college, not even counting as an amateur, he just wanted to bully Iron Fist by virtue of his tonnage.

At this time, the lights outside went out, the host was calling the visiting team, Zhou Quan didn't bother to pay attention to Barkley, and came out.

"Shh!"

There was a lot of booing. This is the second time for the Suns to enter the Finals. The first time was in 76. It has been 17 years, so the fans are very excited and want to suppress the momentum of the visiting team.

When Zhou Quan made his final appearance, the boos were of course very loud. There was a little nervousness, coupled with a huge sense of excitement, which made his skin goosebumps.

"Oh oh oh……"

When it was the home court's turn, the overwhelming cheers made the first climax of the night come.

In the finals, some Hollywood stars came to the scene, as well as many active and retired NBA stars.

Today is Friday in China. Although it is not the weekend, many people still turn on the TV, and many people who have the conditions still try to watch the game.

The national team did not arrange training, and they gathered together to watch the finals in the morning.

……

"We are tough..."

After yelling out the Pistons' team training, Zhou Quan and other five players entered the field. At 30:[-], the game officially started.

"Snapped!"

Seikali won the jump ball and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan received the ball, and after his teammates entered the frontcourt, he advanced to the center line.

"This is the rhythm of positional warfare." Zhang Lili said in the commentary seat of CCTV.

Kevin Johnson defended and retreated, retreating to the top of the arc and not retreating.

But at this time Zhou Quan suddenly pulled towards the left wing, and Lightning quickly followed.

"Go to the left wing and avoid being flanked by Dan Marley on the right wing. Zhou Quan is very cautious." Zhang Lili said again.

"Pick and roll!"

Sun Zhenping suddenly shouted.

Zhou Quan pulled to the [-]-degree position on the left wing. He passed behind Mark Aguirre, suddenly changed direction, changed his left hand to control the ball, and went in with the ball.

Kevin Johnson was blocked by Mark Aguirre, and Richard immediately switched defenses, followed Zhou Quan, stuck to Zhou Quan's right hand, confronted him, and squeezed him out.

But it's useless. Richard's height is 201 centimeters, Zhou Quan is 91 centimeters taller, and his center of gravity is a bit higher, but his weight is only [-] kilograms. His resistance is not as good as Zhou Quan's. How can he be squeezed?

Under Zhou Quan's strength, he stood up against his opponent abruptly, and rushed to the position one step outside the left waist. Seeing that Mark West did not come up to attack, he immediately stopped suddenly, and then retreated after dribbling for a jumper.

Richard catches up with a step to block, too late.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, it missed and was a little short. The basketball rebounded from the basket and was caught by Mark West, who immediately threw it at Lightning.

"Hands probably haven't warmed up yet." Sun Zhenping said regretfully.

"It's an opening shot." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

The Suns attacked, and Lightning caught the ball and advanced quickly, but Zhou Quan let go of his footsteps and chased him. He didn't pass, but stuck to the right side, forcing the opponent to control the ball with his left hand.

Lightning hit the basket with the ball, stopped suddenly, and shook the ball with both hands.

He wanted to shake Zhou Quan with a fake move, and then made a second shot, but when he swung the ball upwards, Zhou Quan's reaction came out.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan's nerve reaction speed was so fast, and his strike was so precise. With quick eyes and quick hands, when the lightning flashed upwards, he suddenly slapped the ball with his palm and knocked the ball away.

"Bah!"

The basketball hit the floor and bounced upwards. He once again took advantage of the dual advantages of reaction and strike, grabbed the ball with both hands, and caught the ball in his hands.

"Oh, bloody steal!"

The on-site commentator was annoyed and authentic.

The third advantage is full-level panoramic vision.

Zhou Quan grasped the ball with his left hand, and held the lightning with his right hand so that it would not interfere with his passing. He could clearly see the positions of the players on both sides with just a sweep of his sight. Complete the pass in time.

"Whoosh!"

The ball flew to Joe Dumars, who had turned around on the right-wing three-point line and was about to go down.

Joe Dumars caught the ball and passed Dan Marley with one step, and went to the frontcourt.

The two sides switched offense and defense, and everyone rushed to the Pistons' frontcourt again.

Joe Dumars hit the right wing with the ball, but Dan Marley chased him up. There was no chance. He stopped outside the three-point line on the right wing and waited for Zhou Quan to come up.

After Zhou Quan crossed the center line, he took over the basketball and started to organize the offense.

He made a tactical gesture, and Mark Aguirre on the left immediately moved to the top of the arc, and then he went to the left wing himself.

"Zhou Quan is still better at attacking from the flanks, so the distance is longer and it is easier to take advantage of the impact." Zhang Reasonable said.

After dribbling the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing for a few seconds, Zhou Quan withdrew a step one after another. After attracting Lightning to follow up, he suddenly launched a breakthrough, one step from the right.

The rhythm was caught very well, it was just when Lightning stepped forward, and seeing him launch a breakthrough, he couldn't react anymore.

He hit the lightning with one step, and then went to the three-point line and went straight to the left elbow.

Richard, who was in the high position, was forced to defend against the left elbow, so Mark Aguirre at the top of the arc was empty, and Zhou Quan passed the ball immediately.

"brush!"

Mark Aguirre stepped up to catch the ball, shot high and made a hit.

"Beautiful, high jumper, hit two points from far, this kind of wide open, Iron Fist can see it with eyes closed." Bill Wharton shouted.

Lewis Williams said: "The Suns' defensive rotation is not good, and they lack the awareness of quick defense. If this is the Bulls or the Knicks, it is impossible for Mark Aguirre to get a wide open."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "The defense of the Suns is not on the same level as the Bulls and Knicks. The average conceded points per game in the regular season is 106.7 points, while the Bulls and Knicks are 98.9 points and 95.4 points respectively."

Looking back, Lightning still catches the ball and advances quickly, wanting to take advantage of its speed.

It's a pity that after his serious injury this season, although he is recovering well now, his speed is not as good as before. In addition, Zhou Quan's speed is even faster, so he can't take advantage of it.

Zhou Quan still stuck to the right side of Lightning, and then deliberately made physical contact, and through his powerful confrontation ability, the speed of Lightning was slowed down.

Lightning is also forced to slow down, otherwise he is likely to make mistakes.

At this time, the two sides arrived, and the Suns' fast break turned into a positional battle.

Zhou Quan blocked the angle from the top of the arc to the basket. Barkley entered the basket and saw that he had no chance to catch the ball. He ran out immediately and ran to the left wing to ask for the ball.

Two steps out of the left waist, Barkley catches the ball, punches Rodman in the back, squeezes his big ass back, and turns around for a jumper.

"boom!"

Rodman blocked Barkley's face and missed. Sekali protected the backcourt rebound and passed it to Zhou Quan, who was about to go down.

During the previous two offenses and defenses, Zhou Quan found out that Lightning's current speed was no faster than him, which made him want to play a fast break.

In terms of physical fitness, he has an advantage in explosive power, impact, weight, confrontation, and even some height advantages. With these advantages, he can play lightning any way he wants, including fast breaks.

Before the center line, Lightning caught up with Zhou Quan, but as soon as he crossed the center line, Zhou Quan, who was rushing with the ball, deliberately changed direction, and came into physical contact with Lightning.

"Shet!"

Lightning was squeezed outwards, staggered, and then he could only watch Zhou Quan walk away.

In the fast break from the top of the arc, once the opposing defender can't keep up, the other defenders can't keep up even more. Zhou Quan went to the basket and took off directly.

"boom!"

The tomahawk-style dunk exploded the Suns' basket.

"What about the Suns?"

In the ABC commentary booth, Lewis Williams asked: "I can't make a fast break, but let the Pistons play a fast break?"

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "It's very simple. No matter whether your side makes a shot or not, as long as you make a shot, you should immediately return to the defense in advance. Lightning runs in front, and you can prevent Iron Fist's fast break."

"It makes sense, haha! But I think he will be hit by the iron fist. With the speed of the iron fist, there is no chance for him to turn around and stand still." Williams laughed.

"brush!"

This time Barkley hit a ball over Rodman's head.

2:4, Pistons attack.

This time, Zhou Quan did not play fast break.

In the series, the rhythm must be well controlled, and the physical energy must be allocated well. You cannot blindly fast break, or your physical energy will be consumed too quickly.

Coming to the left wing, Mark Aguirre went to the top of the arc and handed him the left wing.

bang bang bang...

Turn sideways, with lightning on the back of the left shoulder, protect the ball with the left elbow, and start to push forward in a crushing manner.

The tonnage difference was eight kilograms, and Lightning couldn't resist. After being pushed back two steps, he immediately dodged sideways to his right side and wanted to take the ball, but at this moment, he dribbled the ball under his crotch, pulled the ball to his left hand, and sent Under the force, he rushed over directly with one step, and slashed towards the left waist.

Mark West, who was in the low position on the left wing, moved up and sideways to make up for the defense, and Sekali immediately cut inside to the basket.

Zhou Quan pushed forward with his left hand, hit the ground and passed the ball to Sekali.

Sekali caught the ball and threw it, and Barkley blocked the block under the basket. With a bang, the basketball hit the basket, and when Barkley turned around, there was another bang, and Rodman had completed the dunk.

"It's another breakthrough. If West doesn't make up defense, Iron Fist may be another strong dunk. Strong dunk of Flying Pig. I'm looking forward to it!" Bill Walton laughed.

"Even if it's not a strong dunk, the iron fist's throw is also very good. As long as Barkley comes up to defend, he can still throw to Rodman. Anyway, let him hit the paint area, this ball is very difficult to defend, the Suns don't What a top interior defensive specialist," Williams said.

2:6, the Suns attack.

Lightning came to the top of the arc, handed the ball to Dan Marley on the right wing, and then went to the left wing himself.

"Like the Pistons, the two guards are separated from the left and right, so that Iron Fist and Joe Dumars are not given a chance to attack. But in fact, with the personal offensive capabilities of Dan Marley and Lightning, the single defense of Iron Fist and Joe Dumars is enough. Flanking, they are not Jordan. The outside players who need flanking, currently, apart from Jordan, only Iron Fist." Bill Walton said immediately.

"boom!"

Dan Marley made a fake shot and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed.

Rodman and Barkley jumped up to grab the rebound almost at the same time. Neither of them got it, and the ball was touched by someone. Then Sekali ran over and grabbed the rebound. Mark West, who was positioned outside It was a beat slower.

"The Pistons rebounded well in the backcourt," Bill Walton said.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan broke through on the left wing with the ball, and then made an emergency stop for a jump shot. Lightning had already rushed over his head, but the ball missed, and it fell to the basket and rebounded.

"Iron Fist made 3 of 1 shots, and it feels average tonight." Bill Walton said.

Mark West grabbed the rebound over Seikali's head and the Suns attacked.

"Don't underestimate Mark West. He can play the main center, and he still has some strength. The offense is not good, and the defense is average, but he has rebounds. When he averages 20 minutes per game, he can grab 5.5 rebounds. Give him Four 10 minutes, double figures in rebounds." Lewis Williams laughed.

Lightning held the ball to the top of the arc, and Richard, the small forward on the left wing, came over to make a pick-and-roll. He bypassed Richard and Mark Aguirre, and broke through to the left elbow.

Mark Aguirre switched defenses, Zhou Quan stared at Lightning, and at the same time immediately moved laterally to the free throw line below, making a defensive posture.

Neither the Lightning nor Richard has three-pointers. The Suns like to shoot three-pointers, but only Barkley, Dan Marley, and Danny Ainge make three-pointers. There is no three-pointer, so his supplementary defense is very bold.

Richard, who didn't have a three-pointer, immediately ran down when he saw this, waiting for Lightning's pass.

Lightning just passed Mark Aguirre and found that Zhou Quan was blocking the front. At this moment, he saw Richard running towards the basket, so he pushed his hand, intending to hit the ground and pass the ball from Zhou Quan's feet. pass in.

"Snapped!"

At this time, the dual comprehensive advantages of nerve response speed and precise strike were perfectly demonstrated. Zhou Quan leaned over and pressed the ball directly on the floor.

"..."

Lightning's eyes widened, can this be broken?
"Oh, the lightning passed directly to Zhou Quan. This is the second time Zhou Quan has intercepted the lightning." Zhang Lili laughed.

Zhou Quan grabbed the ball from the floor with one hand in his left hand. Before he straightened up, his panoramic vision at the full level allowed him to see that Mark Aguirre had turned around from behind Lightning and quickly went down. With a shake of his hand, the ball was passed. past.

Lightning was already one step slower when he saw it, and when he turned around to catch up, he was already two steps slower.

But Mark Aguirre is still old. When he reached the right elbow with the ball, Lightning had already chased him to the left, but he was not afraid because of his height and tonnage advantages. With Lightning on his left elbow, he made a three-step layup and hit a ball.

2:8, the Suns attack.

The rookie head coach Paul Westphal was a little anxious. He felt that Lightning was a little passive in the face of Zhou Quan's defense, so he shouted at Lightning: "Kevin, move the ball, don't force it, you hear me?"

Kevin Johnson is a little depressed, I haven't made a shot yet, where did the strong hit come from?Are you more nervous than me?

But he still obeyed the coach's instructions, and as soon as he reached the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Barkley on the left wing.

At this time, Mark West entered the basket. Seeing that he had no chance to catch the ball, he immediately pulled it out to set up a pick and roll for Barkley. Barkley took the opportunity to break through, bypass Sekali, and go straight to the basket.

There was no one under the basket, and Zhou Quan quickly came down from the high position to defend. At this time, Barkley took off and dunked, and he also jumped from the front of the basket to block the block.

"boom!"

"Di!"

The rim blew and the referee blew his whistle.

"Oh, two plus one, Iron Fist fouled, Barkley is indeed strong enough!" Bill Wharton exclaimed.

"Iron Fist, you kid tried to block me, do you know what my nickname is?" Barkley proudly spat trash talk at Zhou Quan.

"I know, pig." Zhou Quan said honestly.

Barkley tilted his nose and said, "It's a flying pig, a flying pig in the air."

"No matter how high you fly, it's still a dish." Zhou Quan said disdainfully.

"Do you dare to say that I am a dish?" Barkley was so angry that his nose was crooked again.

"That's right! A dish that anyone can eat, Jordan can eat you in the east, but now I eat it when you go to the west." Zhou Quan nodded.

"..."

Barkley was so angry that he didn't know what to say, his thinking was a little messy.
