God of NBA point guards

Chapter 246 Barkley at his peak never had a chance to win the championship in his life

The Suns attacked, and the Lightning transferred the ball to Dan Marley in the backcourt. In the frontcourt, he ran to the right wing before receiving the ball again.

The next moment, he took advantage of the cover of Dan Marley and rushed in from the outside. Zhou Quan quickly followed up and cut off the passing angle of Lightning and Dan Marley in time.

Joe Dumas decisively chose the pincer attack, kept up with Lightning, stuck to the left side, prevented him from rushing in, and formed a left and rear pincer attack with Zhou Quan.

Lightning can only continue to protrude downward, the back and left side have been blocked, and there is no passing angle.

"Oops!"

The on-site commentator exclaimed.

When Lightning rushed to the right bottom corner, he could only take off, glide to the baseline, and shoot a jumper.

"Drift shooting... oh!"

A live commentator yelled, and then couldn't help sighing.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the basket, Rodman soared into the sky, and caught the backcourt rebound on Seikali's head.

"The Lightning made a wrong choice. He shouldn't go to the right wing. It will only make him be caught between Iron Fist and Joe Dumars." Bill Walton said.

"Joe Dumars is also the strength of the defensive team. Two defensive teams, except for Jordan, no one can withstand their pincer attack." Williams nodded.

The Pistons attacked, Zhou Quan advanced with the ball, to the left wing of the frontcourt, Joe Dumars went to the right wing, settled inside, and the positional battle opened up.

When Zhou Quan bent down, the hairs on Lightning's body stood up, and he felt that Zhou Quan, who was one step away, was a wild beast preparing to pounce on him, and that bloodthirsty feeling was particularly strong.

"squeak!"

In the next moment, Zhou Quan broke through.

Hearing the screeching sound of sneakers rubbing against each other, Lightning's nerves tensed, his cerebral cortex went numb, and he stepped back quickly.

"squeak!"

But in the next moment, Zhou Quan stepped on the floor with his right foot just now, and braked.

"not good!"

Lightning paused under his feet, but his upper body couldn't hold back, and he fell back directly.

Zhou Quan retreated beyond the three-point line, looked down at the lightning on the floor coldly, then took off calmly, and shot a three-pointer.

"False sudden real shot, three-pointer!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"brush!"

With precise guidance, the basketball went down through the hoop, and then the water splashed.

"Oh!"

Unexpectedly being shaken down, Lightning beat the floor angrily.

"All 4 shots were made, and Zhou Quan scored 9 points in a row at the beginning. Today he is fully fired, and he is in a brave state!" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"Now the Suns called a timeout and were stopped by Zhou Quan's attack." Zhang Lili smiled excitedly.

In front of the Suns bench, Paul Westphal yelled nervously: "Attention, I didn't see your attention to the game, did you give up?
Guys, this is the second game, we can't give up, cheer me up, this is our home game, not their home game..."

Lightning and Barkley looked at each other, their eyes were a little dazed. They didn't expect Zhou Quan to start so violently and his hands were so hot.

They originally thought that Zhou Quan would be affected by public opinion, which would cause him to be in a bad state, but the reality gave them a slap in the face, which impacted their psychology instead.

Before the Pistons bench, Chuck Daly said to Zhou Quan: "Zhou, if you feel hot, shoot with all your strength, and I will give you unlimited fire rights."

He is not a stubborn head coach, but a very practical head coach, doing whatever works.

The timeout ends and the Suns attack.

Barkley catches the ball on the left wing and backs Rodman.

Just now he missed a shot, but this time he made two rounds and didn't move Rodman much. Suddenly, he turned around and passed Rodman, and went to the left waist to kill.

At the left end of the free throw line, Zhou Quan quickly moved downward to make up defense.

The almighty warrior Barkley quickly passed the ball to Lightning who was open. Lightning caught the ball at the top of the arc, faced Zhou Quan's counterattack, and made a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan made a step back to block the shot. After landing, he turned around and saved the basket, ready to grab a rebound.

The Lightning didn't have a three-pointer at all, which is why he went all out to defend Barkley and why he went down to grab rebounds.

"boom!"

Sure enough, he missed, the arc was too flat, he hit the basket and rebounded, bounced far, and was directly caught by Zhou Quan on the free throw line.

"The second rebound." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Missed the first three shots?"

A live commentator sighed.

Zhou Quan turned around and rushed, and the lightning intercepted him. He was unlucky, controlled the ball with his left hand, and forced his opponent from the left.

"Di!"

Under the confrontation, Lightning was knocked aside, and the whistle sounded.

The referee came over to take a look at Zhou Quan, and gestured for an offensive foul.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was warm applause in the American West Arena.

"Is this an offensive foul? It's not!"

Chuck Daly was furious, and immediately roared at the technical table.

"Wrong, is this an offensive foul? Iron Fist changed direction, and Lightning didn't have a defensive position at all. When Iron Fist rushed past, there was physical contact. This is a very normal physical confrontation." Bill Wharton was dissatisfied.

"Normal, this is the home of the Suns." Williams laughed.

"You can call a violation at the home whistle. Give Iron Fist a walk or something. What kind of offensive foul is called? This is the playoffs. Offensive fouls should be blown less. The referee needs to maintain the continuity of the game, not to mention that this is normal at all. Confrontation." Bill Wharton was still dissatisfied.

The ball is exchanged and the Suns attack.

On the right wing, Dan Marley receives the ball and Joe Dumars defends.

Lightning ran from the top of the arc to the left wing, not giving Zhou Quan the chance to pinch the right wing.

"boom!"

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

"Oh, missed four shots!" Countless Suns fans could not help lamenting.

"mine!"

Rodman shouted in his heart, and grabbed the rebound over Sekali's head again.

Ronnie Sekali shook his empty-handed hands, big bug, will you die if you leave me a board?I'm also signing a new contract.

Zhou Quan had already started to move quickly, and rushed past Lightning in one step. Lightning reacted very quickly, turned around and chased to the right, only half a step behind.

"Whoosh!"

Rodman passes the ball.

When the ball flew over, Zhou Quan did not slow down in order not to let Lightning have a chance to overtake it because of catching the ball.
Instead, his left hand flicked forward at the moment of touching the ball, then accelerated and rushed forward, chasing the basketball thrown forward.

"hiss!"

Lightning secretly pulled Zhou Quan's jersey, and Zhou Quan opened it with one hand. Zhou Quan's bones were very hard and painful.
, which made him gasp.

Taking advantage of the lightning distraction, Zhou Quan accelerated to open the distance, took a step beyond, and then caught up with the basketball, striding towards the basket from the right elbow.

"No!"

Seeing that Zhou Quan, who was one step ahead, had already taken off, Lightning gave up catching up.

"boom!"

"what!"

As the basket was exploded, the Pistons immediately cheered.

"Iron Fist, blast them!"

Assassin Isiah Thomas was particularly excited. He seemed to see his own shadow in Zhou Quan. At this moment, he thought of what General Manager McCloskey had said to him, that Zhou Quan was like a replica of him.

"On 5 of 5 shots, Zhou Kwon scored 11 points in the opening game. He beat the Suns all by himself." Sun Zhenping shouted very passionately.

"11:0, Zhou Quan played a hot start, he told the opponent with offense that he must win this game, he said." Zhang Lili said very excitedly.

"Foul if you can't defend, I don't care what method you use, you must stop his attack, hear?"

The rookie coach Westphal kept shouting at the field to relieve the tension and anxiety in his heart.

Chuck Daly has turned into a Zen master, sitting firmly on the bench, just like he coached the Dream Team last year. Tonight's game will continue like this. He feels that it should be like the Olympics, and there is no need to call a timeout.

Dan Marley advances with the ball, makes a false shot, and rushes towards the right elbow. Mark Aguirre, who is in the high position, immediately goes to defend, while Zhou Quan, who is in the left elbow area, rushes along the free throw line to defend the high position. At the same time, he also waited for an opportunity to pinch the right elbow area.

The Lightning on the left wing was open, and Sekali didn't defend him, but Dan Marley's observation of the weak side was not in place, especially Mark Aguirre and Zhou Quan between him and Lightning blocked his line of sight , did not see the vacancy of the lightning.

As soon as he burst into the right elbow, with Mark Aguirre on the left, Joe Dumars on the right and Rodman in front, he was already in trouble.

"squeak!"

Emergency stop, fallback jumper.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan just pinched in place from behind, clapped his hands, and caught the ball he just shot.

"Oh, grab a hat?"

Countless Suns fans lamented again.

"Beautiful! Four clips and one, the Pistons completed the most beautiful defense!" Bill Walton shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan turned around from the right elbow and quickly went down. There was only Suns small forward Richard in front of him.

In desperation, Richard embraced him from behind with both hands.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew and a personal foul was awarded to the Suns.

However, the number of free throws was not reached, and the Suns served from the sideline of the backcourt.

"This foul is still worth it, no foul, no one in front of Iron Fist, another dunk." Lewis Williams said.

Bill Walton said with a smile: "This is the Suns' first foul. Richard's foul doesn't matter. He also has Ceballos as a substitute. His strength is not inferior to him. This foul is really worth it."

At this time, Zhou Quan received the ball from the left wing and moved forward again. After crossing the center line, he immediately accelerated and strode past others.

"squeak!"

Lightning had been prepared for a long time, but also stopped abruptly, stopping half a step away.

"This guy!"

But at this moment, Zhou Quan exerted his strength again, and rushed forward with another step.

Seeing that Barkley was blocking the basket, Mark West also returned to the basket from the low post on the left wing, and Zhou Quan made an emergency stop three meters in front of the left of the basket.

Lightning from behind wanted to throw a back cap, but unfortunately Zhou Quan didn't shoot a jumper, but a drop shot, and he slapped the empty one.

Mark West and Barkley in front were more than one step away from Zhou Quan, and they had no chance to block the ball.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

Suns fans are no longer exclaiming, no more lamenting, many fans are praying to God: "Lord, let him drop a ball!"

"6 for 6 shots, Iron Fist's hand is like a hot stove, today he is unstoppable, today he meets God and kills God."

Bill Walton roared excitedly.

Far away in New York, Jordan scolded: "Useless guys, you can't defend once."

"13:0, do you want to call a timeout?"

Westphal was a little flustered, trying to maintain his composure on the outside, but the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, the torn tie knot, and the unbuttoned shirt all showed that his mind was a little messed up at this time. nervous.

Barkley served the ball from the bottom line, Lightning put his left elbow against Zhou Quan behind him, and stretched out his right hand to catch the ball.

At this moment, Zhou Quan retreated a little, as if he had given up on pressing, which made Lightning more at ease.

Barkley was not concentrating either. After retreating to the bottom line, he threw the ball to Lightning with one hand, and was about to enter the court, but just as he threw the ball, he suddenly saw an iron fist emerge from the right side of Lightning. out.

"careful!"

He instinctively yelled.

"what?"

Lightning was startled, and in the next moment, Zhou Quan emerged from the right side, and before reaching out, he caught the ball thrown by Barkley half a foot first.

"Shet!"

At this moment, countless Suns fans burst into foul language.

Zhou Quan caught the ball and rushed to the basket in one step, jumped up, made a 360-degree turn in the air, and then dunked vigorously with both hands.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

When the rim exploded, cheers erupted from the Pistons side, but there were less than 300 people roaring like thousands of people.

An on-site commentator was very angry and said: "Are you all sleepwalking on the court? The combined annual salary is 1429 million US dollars, but the score is 15:0 by the Pistons. I can also play such a score. It should be easy to lose a point." ?”

"Yes, fifteen to zero. Anyone can score like this. Why pay them so much money? This is the finals. Are our fans paying money to come and watch this kind of game?" The partner also said angrily. .

"The Suns are over! What kind of ball is this playing? Iron Fist is behind Lightning, but Barkley and Lightning don't care at all. One serves the ball casually, and the other doesn't go up to catch the ball. Don't they know Iron Fist's stealing ability? Or They don't care about winning or losing anymore?" Bill Wharton said angrily.

It's not that he wants the Suns to win, but that if the game is one-sided, it will seriously affect the ratings, and as a commentator, he will also be affected.

Barkley and Lightning were already sweating profusely. They had no idea that they would have such an unexpected start tonight.

They were out of shape, while Iron Fist was in a super explosive state. As a result, they were beaten fifteen to zero, and their morale had been hit to the bottom.

Westphal called the second timeout of the first quarter, when only 135 seconds had passed in the first quarter.

But the timeout didn't solve the problem. He could adjust his own tactics, but he couldn't control Zhou Quan's state. Although Zhou Quan's state was not as good as the opening, it was still good.

After halftime, the Pistons led by 24 points, and one-third of the Suns fans had left. After three quarters, the Pistons led by 31 points, and half of the home fans left.

In the end, Zhou Quan clocked in three quarters and didn't play in the final quarter. The Suns had a losing streak at home, 76:109, a big defeat, and lost a full 33 points.

比赛结束之后，比尔沃顿赞叹道：“铁拳在总决赛上三节打卡，三节34分钟，21投15中，命中率71.4%，三分球5投3中，9罚9中，轰下42分5篮板6助攻6抢断1盖帽0失误3犯规的数据。

With 42 points, he broke the record of scoring in a single playoff game in his career. This is also the first time he scored 40+ points in a single playoff game.If he hadn't clocked in three quarters, the Suns would have lost even more. "

Lewis Williams shook his head and said: "The Suns are sleepwalking. There are 23 turnovers in the game. The team's shooting percentage is only 37%, while the Pistons are as high as 55%.

闪电18投6中，命中率33.3%，状态梦游，加上5罚4中，得16分2篮板7助攻1抢断6失误3犯规。

巴克利24投8中，命中率和闪电惊人的一样，三分球5投0中，6罚4中，得20分12篮板4助攻1抢断2盖帽5失误3犯规。

The combination of internal and external cores only contributed 36 points, and the efficiency is far inferior to Iron Fist. This is the main reason for the Suns' loss. "

"If the Suns continue to play like this, they may be swept away."

Bill Walton shook his head. He was furious with the Suns, Barkley and Lightning, because the ratings were crazy!
Iron Fist scored 15 points in the opening game. After a wave of 2320 to 1550, the ratings reached 1280 million, and then began to drop. The final average ratings were only [-] million, and the lowest was only [-] million. The typical start is the peak.

If the Suns perform like this, Barkley at his peak will never have a chance to win the championship in his life.
