God of NBA point guards

Chapter 288 Advancing to the Western Conference Finals
Zhou Quan took the ball to the left wing, used Perkins' cover to get rid of Hornacek, bypassed Tom Chambers, and quickly rushed to the penalty area.

On the left front side of the basket, the postman is ready.

Zhou Quan arrived in a few steps, slowed down a bit, suddenly changed hands to control the ball, and at the same time changed direction downwards, sticking to the bottom line and entering the penalty area.

The postman immediately moved sideways to the basket, raised his hands, and squeezed Zhou Quan with his chest.

Zhou Quan accelerated past the postman, jumped from the left side of the basket, held the ball in his right hand, and picked the basket with one hand.

The postman also took off to block the shot, but Zhou Quan closed it with his right hand, avoided the postman's block, flew under the basket, reached the right side of the basket, and picked the basket with his backhand before landing.

"brush!"

The basketball went down the basket.

"what!"

After scoring the goal on the head of the postman, Zhou Quan also threw his fist and shouted in great excitement.

"Pull the backhand to pick the basket...it's in! It's beautiful, this ball is difficult." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Jazz attack.

Joo Kwon catches up with Stockton who is holding the ball, Stockton and Postman make a high pick-and-roll, and then passes back to Postman when Joo Kwon catches up.

The mailman caught the ball and shot over Rodman's head, but missed.

Michael Cage, who came off the bench, protected the rebound in the backcourt. Zhou Quan took the ball to the frontcourt, pulled it to the left wing again, and began to break through with the ball.

Hornacek couldn't stop him, he slashed to the left half, made a quick stop, forced the mailman to come up to cover, and then passed the ball to the back-cut Jill.

"brush!"

With an empty basket, Jill scored an easy goal.

"It still has to rely on breakthroughs to score the ball. No one in the Jazz can block the Iron Fist's breakthrough with the ball, so they can't deal with this kind of breakthrough tactics." Bill Walton said.

"32:25, the Jazz are 7 points behind again." Williams said.

After the first quarter, 34:27, the Jazz trailed by 7 points.

周权打满首节，10投6中，三分球3投2中，2罚2中，拿到16分1篮板1抢断的数据。

那边邮差8投5中，4罚3中，拿到了13分。

"Dennis, use some strength to deal with the postman. We are going to take care of the Jazz today. It would be a joke if they forced us to a two-to-two tie."

On the bench, Zhou Quan said to Rodman.

Rodman nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Iron Fist, the postman left it to me."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench.

After 3 minutes of playing, Tom Chambers made 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws on the head of rookie Elvin Johnson. He scored 6 points in a row and chased the point difference to two points. The Sonics called a timeout.

Zhang Lili said: "The Supersonic's internal substitutes are a bit weak. Michael Cage is not good, and Irvin Johnson has no potential. It is estimated that it will be difficult to play. The other internal substitutes are marginal people."

Sun Zhenping said: "The outside line is better. McMillan and Vincent Asciel are not bad, but the feel of the three minutes just now is mediocre."

After the timeout, the Sonics replaced the main lineup.

For the Jazz, Tom Chamberm, who has already scored 11 points, continued to play, and the main center was still sitting on the bench.

"It seems that Hornacek can't defend against the iron fist, and the defensive effect is not very good. Jerry Sloan rearranged Stockton's defense against the iron fist." Bill Wharton said.

"brush!"

The fake shot was real, shaking Zhou Quan broke through from the top of the arc, stopped in front of the postman and made a throw, and hit a ball.

"That's right, four points. Zhou Quan's score should stabilize the situation, and then try to defend against the opponent's attack." Zhang Reasonable said.

"boom!"

It was really defended. Rodman hit the postman in the low position on the right wing. The postman forced a turn and made a jumper and missed the ball.

Perkins protected the rebound in the backcourt, and Zhou Quan advanced to the frontcourt.

Crossing forward and changing direction, Stockton was shaken loose, lost his center of gravity, and then he burst from the right.

The postman came out from the basket, and Zhou Quan turned around and made a pass. After reaching the basket, he hit a layup and hit a goal.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan rushed two people in succession, and the postman can't guard against him alone under the basket." Zhang Lili laughed.

Sun Zhenping said: "The postman's moving speed is average, but his ability to protect the basket is actually average. The main reason is that he has strong elbows, and others are afraid of him."

"He doesn't dare to mess around with supersonic speed." Zhang Lili laughed.

Jazz attack.

The postman wanted to go deep, but Rodman moved faster and defended around the front. He went in and didn't receive the ball, so he could only pull out and leaned against Rodman in the low post on the right wing to ask for the ball.

Stockton had no chance to pass the ball to the postman. His downward pass angle was blocked by Zhou Quan, so he could only pass to Hornacek on the right wing and let him pass the postman again.

"Snapped!"

But Zhou Quan had predicted Stockton's pass choice, inserted in time, and succeeded in stealing the ball.

"Oh, the ball was stolen, Iron Fist came down quickly, and the Jazz couldn't catch up with him." Sun Zhenping shouted passionately.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan's flying dunks widened the point difference to 8 points and stopped the Jazz.

After the timeout, Tom Chambers was replaced to rest and Spencer came up.

The postman beat Rodman again, but he missed it. Rodman tried his best, and the postman missed a jumper.

Perkins protected the backcourt rebound and the Sonics attacked.

Zhou Quan changed his offensive strategy, pulled to the left wing and played a pick-and-roll with Perkins. After getting rid of Stockton, the slow-moving Spencer couldn't keep up with him. He got an open space on the left wing and hit a jumper.

Next, he used this method to attack continuously, scored two more goals, made 4 of 3 shots, and scored 6 points in a row. He blasted the Jazz with a wave of flank attacks and widened the point difference to double digits.

After the second quarter, 61:51, the Jazz trailed by 10 points.

"Zhou Quan has already scored 21 points in 26 minutes of halftime. There should be a chance to score 40+ today, and it is best to win the game." Sun Zhenping said.

"If you don't win, 50+ is meaningless. Instead, you will be accused by the media of scoring points." Zhang Lili said.

"Director Zhang, according to the current situation, the chance is still greater?" Sun Zhenping asked.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Zhou Quan's scoring ability is still very strong. Every time the Jazz tried to catch up tonight, he beat him back. This is the value of a superstar, who can stand up at a critical moment.

But tonight, the Jazz did a very good job of suppressing the Sonics' offensive and defensive rhythm, and the Sonics had very few fast breaks. "

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

Supersonic attack.

Michael Cage was on the field, unable to pull out, and the penalty area was a bit crowded.

Zhou Quan came to the left wing with the ball and made a pick-and-roll with Schramff. Stockton and small forward David Benoit double-teamed in time, but his pass was too fast, passing the ball from the gap between the two, Schramf caught the ball and made a jumper.

20 seconds later, the two played a pick-and-roll tactic on the left wing again. Schramf got a chance to displace Stockton in singles and hit a jumper again.

"Schramf is good. He only scored 6 points in the first half, and his performance was mediocre, but he scored 4 points in a row in the second half. He feels good. Zhou Quan will definitely pass the ball to him more." Zhang Lili said happily.

He was really right. Zhou Quan saw that Schramf had a good touch, and frequently played pick-and-roll tactics with Schramf in the third quarter. Schramf made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 8 points. Also received 6 assists in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, 91:76, the Sonics have already led by 15 points, and the victory is within their grasp.

In a critical game, it was impossible for the Jazz to give up the game, and they played even more fiercely in the final quarter.

However, under the leadership of Zhou Quan, the Supersonics withstood the Jazz's offensive, and after half a quarter, they still led by 10 points.

In the second half, the Jazz exhausted too much energy in the first half and lost their vigor. The Supersonics took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Zhou Quan sent a steal and played a wave of 2:6 offensive within 0 minutes, widening the point difference in one fell swoop. To 16 points.

"Congratulations to the Supersonics, three to one, the match point is in hand."

"Congratulations Zhou Quan, advancing to the Western Conference finals is in sight."

After the game, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping were excited.

ABC解说席上，比尔沃顿笑道：“铁拳打了45分钟，轰下38分6篮板17助攻5抢断2盖帽3失误4犯规的数据，命中率52%，三分球6投3中，效率很不错。

In addition, at critical moments, he has excellent psychological quality, withstood the pressure, repelled the Jazz's counterattacks continuously, and helped the team win the match point. "

"The postman had 31 points and 13 rebounds, but it's a pity that he became the king of empty scoring." Williams said.

"The postman shot 44.4%. His performance in the last three quarters was not as good as in the first quarter. Although Rodman couldn't guard him, it limited his efficiency." Bill Walton said.

After winning this game, Zhou Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the other half of the breath had to be advanced. He still didn't dare to be careless. After all, with a three-to-one lead, there are many cases of being overturned.

In another game, the Knicks beat the Hawks at home and got the match point.

On the 17th, the Sonics returned to Seattle, and the second round of G5 started that night.

In the East, the Bulls defeated the Pacers and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a big score of [-] to [-].

After a year, Jordan reached the Eastern Conference Finals again. He was very excited and happy, and accepted the post-match interview on the spot.

"Michael, the Eastern Conference Finals without you is boring. Congratulations, you made it to the Eastern Conference Finals again."

"Three grams of oil!"

"What do you most want to say now?"

"We're back on the winning path and we want to keep winning until the end."

In the west, Mosaic returned home and defeated the Suns with a score of 86:109. After losing two games first, they pulled three games in a row and won the match point.

The Suns were all inaccurate, and their shooting percentage was only 39.2%. The seven substitute players made 37 of 14 shots, and their shooting percentage was only 37.8%. The five main players made 60 of 24 shots, their shooting percentage was only 40%. Mosaic had only 97 shots, and with 73 more shots, he lost a full 24 points.

No one thinks that the Suns lost unjustly. The shooting percentage, the number of free throws, three-pointers, rebounds, assists, and blocks are all behind Mosaic.

Mosaic's overall shooting rate reached an astonishing 56.2%, 11 more rebounds, 26 free throws, 14 more than the Suns, [-] people had free throws, and played very aggressively, while the Suns only had [-] free throws , jumpers only on the outside.

After the game, Barkley's face turned pale. From the excellent situation of two consecutive victories in the away game, to now he is about to be overturned, he seems to have been on a roller coaster, and his heart is devastated.

And Olajuwon blushed hot because of his excitement, and he asked excitedly: "Charles, do you want me to help you find a good pier?"

"roll!"

Barkley turned around and left, completely in no mood to listen to Dameng's trash talk.

"Ha ha……"

Dameng laughed heartily from behind.

On May 5, the second round of the G18 battle continued.

The Seattle Center gymnasium has gathered a large number of fans since noon, and by the evening, it was already crowded with people.

The tickets for the playoffs are very high, and the key games are even more soaring, but Seattle's economy is very good, with a large middle class, so the tickets have long been sold out.

"Western Finals! Western Conference Finals! Western Conference Finals..."

When the supersonic bus approached, there was a huge shout.

At eight o'clock, the G5 game between the Supersonics and the Jazz officially started, 91:102. In the end, the Supersonics defeated their opponents at home and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a big score of [-] to [-].

"Western Finals! Western Conference Finals! Western Conference Finals..."

This is the second consecutive season that the Sonics have reached the Western Conference Finals. When the game ended, there were extremely high cheers on the scene.

Facing being eliminated, the unwilling postman played explosively. In this game, Rodman was completely blown away. In 46 minutes, he made 27 of 15 shots, 55.5% from the field, and 9 of 7 free throws. 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls.

But Zhou Quan's performance was better, playing super explosive state, within 45 minutes, 21 of 15 shots, 71.4% shooting, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 42.9% shooting, 11 of 11 free throws, boom With 44 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, he played a top offensive and defensive performance.

Whether it is Stockton or Hornacek defending, he has blown up the opponent with his strong offensive ability. The Jazz can't restrain him, and launched a full range of pincers and strangles to him, but his pass immediately let the Jazz Pain is tasted.

On the defensive end, he allowed Stockton to make only 13 of 4 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 30.8%. He blocked the opponent twice and stole the opponent three times. The data of mistakes fully demonstrates the ability of Tianke Stockton.

In another game, the Knicks beat the Hawks again, also eliminated their opponents with a big score of [-] to [-], and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the 19th, the second round of the G6 battle continued.

Three of the four groups of opponents have already decided the winner. Only Mosaic and the Suns are left. This game is the home court of the Suns. This is also a game that the Suns cannot lose. If they lose, they will be eliminated.

In the end, the Suns defeated Mosaic 89:103 by virtue of their home court advantage. The two sides drew [-]-[-] and will enter the tiebreaker.

Five of the Suns scored in double figures, and two of them scored 20+. AC Green returned the big contract the Suns gave him with 22 points.

In Mosaic, only three players scored in double figures, and their condition was slightly worse.

"Last year, the Suns reached the tiebreaker against the Sonics in the Western Conference finals, and then they were defeated by the Iron Fist Pistons in the finals. This year, they played the tiebreaker with Mosaic in the second round. Going to the Western Conference finals, I also think he will fall at the feet of Iron Fist again."

The smiling assassin Isiah Thomas spoke to the media in New York the next morning, saying so.

"Isaiah, are you more optimistic about the Suns going to the Western Conference Finals?" the reporter asked.

"No, I'm more optimistic about Mosaic." The assassin said.

"why?"

"Because at the critical moment, Barkley became a soft-legged shrimp, and he couldn't stand up."
