God of NBA point guards

Chapter 243 Leading
"boom!"

Then a penalty was added, and he missed the shot because he was seriously inattentive.

Seikali grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhou Quan at the center line.

Lightning was the first to block Zhou Quan's front, trying to stop him from attacking quickly, but Zhou Quan just rushed forward, crushing him and making two small steps, he didn't hold back and was squeezed away.

However, he also won the opportunity for Dan Marley to return to defense, which can be regarded as completing the defensive task.

When Zhou Quan killed the top of the arc, Dan Marley stood in front of the basket. At this time, Joe Dumars ran to the right bottom corner. The huge space made him fly the ball without any hesitation.

When Joe Dumars received the ball, there was no defender within four meters around him. He calmly aimed at the basket, and then took off to shoot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Oh, a beautiful open corner three-pointer. Joe Dumars' open three-pointer is worth relying on. Give him ten such opportunities, and he can make ten out of ten shots." Bill Walton admired.

At this time, the Suns called the first timeout.

“4：11，太阳已经落后7分。铁拳3投1中，得2分2助攻2抢断1犯规，除了投篮，其他的表现都非常好。”威廉姆斯说道。

Bill Walton said: "Barkley scored 3 points on 2 of 4 shots. The Lightning made two turnovers and has yet to take a shot. I think he should take a shot. Even if Tekken's defense is good, but with his strength, it is impossible not to have a shot. , and can also take advantage of the opportunity after the pick-and-roll."

Williams nodded and said: "Lightning is the third scoring point in the regular season and the second scoring point in the playoffs. If he doesn't shoot, the Suns' offense will be very difficult. He is best at fast breaks, but today he is facing the Iron Fist. Didn't type it out, just tried it."

The Suns bench, Westphal is arranging offensive tactics.

Barkley is still the main attacker. In terms of offensive strength, no one in the Suns is better than Barkley. He trusts the MVP winner very much.

"Kevin, don't give up your fast break. Tekken is no faster than you. You have teammates by your side. You can switch between shooting and passing. I trust your ability." He said to Lightning again.

"Understood." Kevin Johnson nodded.

After the timeout, the Suns attacked.

Barkley pulls up to the high post to do a pick-and-roll, Lightning uses the wall to break through with the ball, Rodman quickly switches defenses, Lightning rushes into the paint from the left elbow, and Rodman, who is slower, hits the basket and beats Sekali , hit a ball, and also caused a foul by Sekali.

"Two plus one, this is the second time the Suns have played two plus one, the Pistons should be careful." Zhang Reasonable reminded.

"Director Zhang, was it correct to switch defense just now?" Sun Zhenping asked.

"It is logically correct, because Rodman can switch from the one position to the five position, which is why he can be selected for the defensive team. But the lightning speed is faster than Rodman, he is not an ordinary point guard, It's normal to be attacked once." Zhang Lili said.

"brush!"

Lightning plus penalty hit.

7:11, Pistons attack.

After being hit twice by the Suns, Zhou Quan strengthened his breakthrough with the ball this time, and also wanted to cause damage.

On the left wing, he first made a lightning strike, and then accelerated his stride to pass Richard, who came from a high position to defend, and entered the paint area from the left elbow.

Barkley under the basket came up to make up the defense, which was the Suns' third line of defense.

As for the basket, Mark West defended Rodman, and Sekari on the left wing and Mark Aguirre at the top of the arc both appeared open.

"squeak!"

Zhou Quan braked to slow down, and the ball was pulled up high, to his ribs.

In the next moment, after Barkley's whole body tensed up and was about to take off to block the block, his shoulders suddenly shook, and he jumped at Barkley with a step from the right.

"Oops!"

Barkley instinctively stretched out his left hand to block, and Zhou Quan took off and threw in a timely manner.

"Di!"

When Zhou Quan shot, the referee's whistle sounded.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the hoop.

"False with one hand!"

Zhang Lili yelled, and shouted excitedly again and again: "Pull people! Oh, it's scored, the ball is scored, Zhou Quan throws the ball and scored. Let's see how the referee judges. This ball must be two plus one."

On the field, Zhou Quan and Barkley also looked at the referee who ran up.

The referee pointed at Barkley, made a gesture of drawing a foul, and then made a gesture of counting two points and adding a free throw.

"ah!"

Zhou Quan shouted excitedly, and waved his big iron fist in front of Barkley's big face vigorously, and then went to celebrate with his teammates.

"damn it!"

Barkley muttered dejectedly.

Zhou Quan walked to the free throw line and shouted to Barkley: "Flying Pig, if I win the championship this time, I will buy you a drink."

"I won the championship, I invite you to wrestle with me." Barkley said angrily.

Zhou Quan laughed, took the ball thrown by the referee, and began to dribble.

"brush!"

An additional penalty hit, 7:14, the Pistons led by 7 points.

The Suns attacked, and a lightning pass passed to Barkley on the left wing. Barkley hit Rodman with his back.

At this time, Dan Marley suddenly cuts in on the weak side. Barkley passed the ball in time. Dan Marley made a layup. Seikali failed to notice the back cut from behind.

"Be careful of Barkley, he is an all-around fighter." Zhang Reasonable reminded.

"9:14." Sun Zhenping said.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, at 18:23, the Pistons still led by 5 points, and the Suns called the second timeout of this quarter.

Bill Walton said: "The Suns had a bad start, but then relied on Barkley's performance to stabilize the rhythm, but until now, there is no way to get the score back.

巴克利8分钟之内6投3中，1罚0中，得6分2篮板2助攻1盖帽，盖了罗德曼的补扣。闪电是3投1中，1罚1中，得3分2助攻2失误。

For the Pistons, Tekken made 6 of 3 shots and 1 of 1 free throw, scoring 7 points.In addition, his defense today was really good, with two steals and one block in a single quarter, and he helped defend against Lei Gong once.

Under his pass, Mark Aguirre made 3 of 2 shots, Joe Dumars made 3 of 2 shots, and 2 of 1 three-pointers. Assisted 3 times and also had 1 indirect assists. "

刘易斯·威廉姆斯说道：“铁拳7分1篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽，没有失误，他的状态和巴克利一样非常好。

However, the Suns are still behind, because the Lightning's defense against Iron Fist is not in place and cannot prevent his pass. "

Bill Walton smiled and said: "Don't talk about lightning, Jordan + Pippen can't prevent the pass of Iron Fist. My suggestion to the Suns is to strengthen the defense against others, let Iron Fist explode Lightning, and lock others .”

"Using the Pistons' previous Jordan rules to deal with the current boss of the Pistons? Haha, this is very causal." Williams laughed.

But Bill Walton shook his head and said, "It's still not good, even the strong defense of the Knicks and Bulls can't be defended by this method, and the Suns are even more bad.

Iron Fist is no better than last season. Not only is he very stable, but he is also very strong in attacking tough situations. He is also good at scoring explosively, and his efficiency is not low. His shooting percentages in the first three rounds of the playoffs are all above 50%. If he goes crazy Yes, 30+40+ in a single game is very possible, plus the Pistons' defense is stronger than the Suns, the Suns will also lose the game. "

"The Suns how to play?" Williams asked very cooperatively.

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "Defense is impossible, only offense, Flying Pig, Lightning, Thunder, plus Richard, Ceballos, Danny Ainge, Tom Chambers, Oliver Miller, these are all Can score.

The Suns are stronger offensively than defensively. Only by playing their own offense and relying on the thickness of the lineup can they have a chance to beat the Pistons. "

After the timeout, the Suns put on the bench lineup, and the Pistons also kept up with the rhythm, also on the bench lineup.

However, Zhou Quan did not end, because of lack of players, he stayed on the court to play the second position.

The result relied on a deeper lineup. After the first quarter, at 25:27, the Suns pulled back 3 points and were only two points behind.

Ceballos made the main attack, singles Darnell Walker, broke through with the ball in a row, made 3 of 2 shots, and scored 4 points in a row.

Chambers singled Terry Mills, made 2 of 1 shots, and scored 3 points.

The Pistons' Assassins made 3 of 1 shots, and Polynes made a goal.

After the end of the first quarter, Zhang rationally analyzed: "The Suns can use more people, and the Pistons' bench lineup is a bit stretched.

The inside line is okay, Terry Mills and Polynes are good, but the third position was originally a substitute for Mark Aguirre, and it is not available now, and Darnell Walker is used.

Walker is old and injured, and he is actually a shooting guard, and it is too reluctant to play the third position. "

Sun Zhenping said: "The Pistons' bench lineup mainly depends on the inside. Mills and Polynes are both good role players. The outside line plus Zhou Quan and the Assassins should be able to stand up."

"I think we should give Zhou Quan some time to rest. After entering the playoffs, he has too much playing time." Zhang Lili said with some concern.

"Ulrich's reimbursement is very troublesome." Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes." Zhang Lili nodded.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides still continue to use the final lineup of the first quarter.

Zhou Quan didn't focus on attacking or breaking through with the ball. He focused on defense and bought himself some time to adjust his physical fitness. However, he did not give up the possession of the ball and still held the ball to organize offenses outside.

In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter just now, the Assassin took the ball and shot, but the efficiency was not very good. He couldn't let him play like this.

Both Mills and Polynice have good abilities, and they can even start for weak teams without letting them watch outside shots.

In the few minutes just now, Ceballos was the main attacker. At the beginning of the second quarter, Danny Ainge was itchy and played Zhou Quan singles with the ball.

"Snapped!"

He had just put on a three-threat pose. Zhou Quan reacted quickly and struck with precision. He slapped the ball up into the air with one slap, then turned around and got stuck, and caught the ball again.

"Beautiful! Iron Fist steals for the third time." Bill Wharton laughed.

Williams said: "Danny Angie is a bit arrogant. Think about Jordan's experience of being intercepted by Iron Fist 4 times in a single game. You will be more cautious."

"Haha!" Bill Walton laughed.

The Pistons counterattacked, and the Assassins went down quickly. The opposing Suns backup point guard Frank Johnson was also a veteran who was about to retire, and he couldn't run anymore, and his speed was slower than him.

Zhou Quan passed the ball accurately, the assassin caught the ball and went to the basket for a successful layup.

Looking back, the Suns attacked, Danny Ainge didn't want the ball this time, but kept running without the ball, intending to consume Zhou Quan's physical energy.

Zhou Quan had no choice but to run around.

Over there, Ceballos caught the ball again and singled Darnell Walker. Walker was hit twice in the first quarter. This time, he defended desperately and strengthened the confrontation, which destroyed his rhythm. Ceballos' offense was weak, and he quickly passed back to the top of the arc. Frank Johnson.

When Danny Ainge on the right saw it, he quickly ran back and pulled from the inside to outside the three-point line to demand.

Frank Johnson hurriedly passed the ball, and Danny Ainge immediately made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The Suns' three-pointer is the focus of the Pistons' defense. How can Zhou Quan be careless?

"Snapped!"

He jumped up in an instant, and after Danny Ainge took off, when the ball reached the top of his head with both hands, he slapped the ball with a slap.

"Oh, block! Iron Fist sent a second block!" Bill Wharton shouted excitedly.

Danny Angie was directly pushed back to the floor, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell backwards to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

But he still had the ball in his hand. Seeing Zhou Quan rushing forward, he quickly threw it towards the top of the arc.

The assassin cut the pass first and rushed forward.

Zhou Quan followed from the left flank, keeping pace with the assassin.

When the assassin reached the basket, Frank Johnson chased after him. Instead of forcing the shot, he passed it to Zhou Quan.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan cut in from the left wing, and the catch was a dunk.

25:31, the Suns attack.

Before 1 minute of the second quarter, the Suns called the first timeout.

After the timeout, Westphal replaced Barkley and Lightning, Oliver Miller and Frank Johnson off.

The Pistons also replaced Joe Dumars, the assassin went down, and the others did not.

After the second quarter, 50:53, the Pistons still lead by 3 points.

Bill Walton said: "Now Barkley has made 14 of 8 shots, 57.1% shooting, 2 of 0 three-pointers, and the efficiency is not bad. In addition, he made 3 of 2 free throws and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. , Rodman's defensive efficiency against him is average.

闪电8投3中，3罚3中，9分1篮板3助攻1抢断3失误1犯规，表现一般。另外塞巴洛斯今天不错，8投5中，2罚2中，得到了12分。”

Williams said: "For the Pistons, Tekken didn't attack much in the second quarter, only four times. It should be to preserve physical fitness. In the half, he made 10 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. 0 turnovers and 2 fouls.

The Pistons resolutely used two substitute insiders in the second quarter. Mills scored three goals and Polynes one. "

Bill Walton analyzed: "It's also half main force and half substitute, otherwise it won't be able to stand up. Iron Fist's performance of 6 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the second quarter has not made any mistakes. It is very good and in good condition. Although playing The full 24 minutes, but now his physical fitness should be very good. Instead, Barkley rested for 5 minutes and only played 19 minutes. I am more worried about his physical fitness."

"So it looks like the Iron Fist will attack hard in the second half," Williams said.

"Very likely," Bill Walton said.

On the CCTV side, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The magician said the day before yesterday that Zhou Quan would completely suppress Lightning. The performance of both sides in the first half today is really a bit like this trend."

Sun Zhenping said: "Today, Zhou Quan didn't play too much against Kevin Johnson, and he didn't attack too much. He mainly defended and organized offense. Let's see how he plays in the second half."

After 15 minutes, the third quarter began, and both sides played the full starting lineup.
