God of NBA point guards

Chapter 297

Zhou Quan holds the ball to the top of the arc.

He is very clear that it is not worthwhile for him to play singles with Jordan. His singles ability is not as good as that of Jordan, so he must supplement it with passing, which is what he did just now.

With a tactical gesture, he began to pull towards the left flank.

When Pippen saw it, he immediately paid more attention to Zhou Quan.

At this time, Schramf made a pick-and-roll for Zhou Quan according to the tactical requirements.

Just when the two were separated, Pippen gave up on Schramf and began to flank Zhou Quan with Jordan one after another.

At this time, Schramf immediately began to cut inward after taking it apart.

Zhou Quan easily passed the ball in the double-team. After receiving the ball, Schrempf took a step forward with the dribble and hit the left waist for a jumper. Cartwhite figured it out, and he was concerned about Rodman under the basket. The opportunity to supplement the defense disappeared. , can only watch the opponent make a move.

"brush!"

The basketball goes into the basket hollow and hits.

"Beautiful! Schramf made two shots, all of which were assisted by Iron Fist." Larry Bird said.

"Pippen and Jordan couldn't block Iron Fist's pass. It can be seen that it is useless to double-team Iron Fist. It will only leave others open." Magic Johnson said.

"So it depends on the ability to defend alone. Jordan must defend against the iron fist." Larry Bird said.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly. After serving the ball, he called a timeout.

"8:9, only one point behind, Phil Jackson called a timeout. He is really different, the average head coach is only one point behind, it is absolutely impossible to call a timeout." Larry Bird said with appreciation.

"He's definitely going to have to adjust his defensive tactics," Magic Johnson said.

Before the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said: "Gentlemen, from now on, give up the double-teaming of Iron Fist from the outside."

He said to Jordan again: "Michael, in the case of single defense, you must mark him to death and reduce his efficiency. Only in this way can we win the game."

Jordan nodded emphatically.

Phil Jackson said to Grant again: "Horace, Sam Perkins is average. As a center, his shooting percentage is lower than that of Kendall Gill. When the Iron Fist breaks through with the ball, you can put it properly." Once you let him go, strengthen your defense against the basket."

"Understood." Grant nodded.

Phil Jackson said to BJ again: "You can also put Kendall Gill properly, his shooting is not stable."

"Okay, coach." BJ nodded quickly.

Phil Jackson finally said: "But the two of you can only have one to help defend the penalty area at the same time, and the other must speed up the defense."

The timeout ends and the Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Jordan suddenly withdrew, and then ran back suddenly with Grant's pick-and-roll. Zhou Quan was one step behind, and Jordan took the opportunity to cut inside.

At this time, Pippen made a cross pass. After receiving the ball, Jordan rushed into the paint from the right waist and flew up against Rodman.

"boom!"

Rodman is too short, has average basket protection ability, and low shot blocking ability, so he was directly blocked by Jordan.

"Jordan made 4 of 3 shots. The inside line has no height. If the Supersonic's inside line had a little height, Jordan would not be so unscrupulous." Zhang Li shook his head.

But Sun Zhenping said: "It doesn't matter if you have height but no strength. Just now Zhou Quan dunked Cartwhite. Jordan must want to return one."

"Right."

Zhang Lili nodded, and reminded: "So the Supersonics must pay attention to the defense of the basket. The inside line is not high. Jordan's breakthrough ability and finishing ability are combined, which is only stronger than Zhou Quan. He will definitely strengthen his breakthrough today. of."

Supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan held the ball at the top of the arc and found that the Bulls' defensive formation was a bit inward, especially Grant and BJ, who both let Perkins and Kendall Gill take two steps. Is this intended to help defend the penalty area?
"squeak!"

The next moment, he began to break through, making a strong burst to the right.

Jordan retreated and Zhou Quan made an emergency stop. At this time, his full-level panoramic vision saw Grant start to move towards the penalty area, but BJ did not move.

"squeak!"

Jordan also stopped suddenly, and Zhou Quan once again made a strong breakthrough. This time, Jordan didn't follow up completely, and only stuck to his left side.

At this time, Grant had already jumped to Zhou Quan's other side in two steps, forming a pincer attack on him.

Zhou Quan made an emergency stop for the second time, took a step back from the dribble, and retreated from the double-team. During the explosion, the basketball was pulled up quickly, and then pushed outward with one hand with his right hand, flying towards the par in the right bottom corner. Kings.

When BJ saw it, he immediately rushed to Perkins.

When Perkins received the ball, BJ jumped two steps later, he jumped up and shot, BJ jumped to block the ball, and the ball flew to the basket.

Rodman knew the ball would not hit when he saw the path of the ball, but he was blocked by Cartwhite, and immediately shouted anxiously: "Rebound."

Zhou Quan and Jordan rushed to the basket at the same time, ready to grab a rebound.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the basket, Carter White, Jordan, and Zhou Quan took off at the same time to grab a rebound, and finally Jordan grabbed the rebound.

"This is already a big open spot. What's a block shot by a small guy like BJ? Perkins' ability is still a bit weak. He was the No. 84 pick in the first round in [-]! It's a little tricky." Zhang Lili shook his head.

"Perkins has already missed two shots, both of which were open shots from the three-point line. He really doesn't feel good today. Zhou Quan should pass him less." Sun Zhenping said.

"boom!"

Looking back, BJ missed a three-point jumper. The rebound bounced out of the restricted area and was grabbed by Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan went into the left wing, and Jordan stuck to his right side, sealing his right hand.

He saw that Pippen had returned to the right wing, and Schramf landed one step inside the three-point line. He immediately changed direction, controlled the ball with his left hand, and continued to break through close to the baseline.

At this time, Grant returned to the basket, and Pippen also focused on Zhou Quan. Once he forcibly broke into the penalty area, he would definitely be double-teamed by three people.

But when Zhou Quan reached the left line of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and exploded the ball.

Jordan immediately made an emergency stop, ready to take off and block the shot.

The next moment, the ball was pulled up quickly, Zhou Quan put his hands together and stood up, and then Jordan jumped up on the upper side.

However, Zhou Quan did not take off, but pushed forward with both hands suddenly, and the basketball flew along a direct passage from Grant and Pippen to Schramf on the right wing.

"Oops!"

Jordan just jumped up, but his eyes were blurred. Zhou Quan didn't jump up and shoot, but passed the ball.

Grant, like Jordan, thought that Zhou Quan made a jumper and didn't react to his pass, so he just jumped up and blocked the shot like Jordan.

When Pippen, who was farther away, saw Zhou Quan standing up, he raised his foot and was about to rush in, ready to grab a rebound. He also didn't react to the pass. When the ball came, he instinctively reached out to block it, but the speed of the ball Too fast, missed.

"Pass! Scalpel pass!"

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman reacted the fastest and gave a loud shout.

When Schramff stopped one step inside the three-point line, he was ready to catch the ball. When he caught the ball, there were no defenders within three steps around him. He calmly aimed at the basket, and then took off to shoot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and two points were hit from far.

"Beautiful! The German made 3 of 3 shots, all of them were open, and they were wide open. Iron Fist's pass was too sharp." Larry Bird laughed.

"The Bulls need to know that he can pass the deadliest ball wherever the iron fist is double-teamed. This is the magic of the top point guard." Magic Johnson laughed.

Larry Bird said: "Iron Fist has already assisted three times. Jordan blocked one of his shots, but the pass cannot be prevented. It is really difficult to lock the pass of this top passer with a single defense."

"It's not difficult, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible. Pippen and Jordan can't lock the iron fist's pass. His vision and passing skills are too good." Magic Johnson laughed.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson saw Zhou Quan's pass, and his back immediately sweated.

But he just blocked a ball from Perkins, and he doesn't intend to change his defensive tactics.

10:11, the Bulls attack.

"boom!"

Jordan made a three-pointer, but Zhou Quan couldn't seal the ball, so he used the eye-blocking method and missed.

Perkins grabbed the rebound, and Zhou Quan was about to go down at this time, so he quickly threw his hands forward, but with too much force, he went straight out of the sideline.

"Oh, it's too big!" Zhang Li said regretfully.

"Perkins' passing skills are too poor." Sun Zhenping said disappointedly.

George Karl was so angry that his face turned black. He vowed to force the management to find him a better insider during the offseason.

Glancing at Zhou Quan, then at George Karl, Perkins wiped the sweat off his brow. Just now he saw Jordan chasing Iron Fist very closely, and wanted to pass the lead, but he was too nervous .

There were only 2 minutes left in the first quarter, 25:24, the Bulls led by one point, the ball was owned by the Supersonics, and a timeout was called.

"The Sonics have made 5 turnovers, which is a little too much. The players should be very nervous because of the lack of experience in the finals." Larry Bird said.

"Jordan has 12 points, the strongest firepower. Iron Fist has 8 points, but his assists helped the team stabilize the situation. The two sides played very anxiously, and no one has a big advantage. Now it has entered a stalemate. It only depends on who plays better Steady," Magic Johnson said.

After the timeout, Jordan continued to play, and Pippen, who was not as physically fit as him, sat on the bench. The other four were Luke Langley, Tony Kukoc, Steve Kerr, and John Paxson.

For the Supersonics, with Jordan on the court, Zhou Quan could not be off the court. The other four are McMillan, small forward Schramf, Michael Cage and rookie center Irvin Johnson on the inside.

"The Bulls are not good on the inside, the Sonics are even worse on the inside, and the substitutes are not good, but the outside is okay." Larry Bird said.

Magic Johnson said with a smile: "But the Sonics are the first in the league and have reached the finals. Their defensive system is good, plus Iron Fist's organization and offense, Rodman's defense and rebounding, their advantages are also very good. Strong. Of course, the weakness is also obvious."

Larry Bird said with a smile: "Iron Fist's defense, especially the terrifying stealing ability, is too much of a threat to the opponent. He alone, with 3.8 steals in the regular season, can win back several possessions for the team. "

Magic Johnson added: "Furthermore, the Supersonic's poor inside line also means that the center is a little shorter. In terms of offensive strength, Perkins is still stronger than the Bulls' centers. His ability to stretch is not what the Bulls' centers can. Than.

Not to mention the position of power forward, I think Rodman's role is better than Grant's. His ability to assist defense, switch defense and supplement defense is very strong, and his rebounding makes the Sonics rebound better than the Bulls. "

Larry Bird nodded and said, "Erwin, what you said makes sense."

After the first quarter, 31:26, the Bulls led by 5 points.

In the second quarter, Jordan sat on the bench and Pippen went up.

Zhou Quan also did not play, and the back line was joined by McMillan and Vincent Escheol. Schramf came down and Rodman played.

Played for 2 minutes, 35:31, the Sonics were still 4 points behind, a dead ball opportunity, Jordan and Zhou Quan played at the same time.

Sun Zhenping said expectantly: "Until now, Zhou Quan has only had one steal and no blocks, and the defensive state has not come out today!"

"It depends on the opportunity." Zhang Lili said.

"brush!"

At this moment, Zhou Quan took a tentative step in front of Jordan on the three-point line at the top of the arc, followed by a step-back jumper and hit a three-pointer.

"Beautiful! At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Quan made a decisive shot and made a three-pointer. Now he is only one point behind." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Jordan used Grant's cover to run back and cut outside, but Zhou Quan saw his movement and bypassed Grant in time, cutting off the passing angle between him and the ball holder Pippen again.

Jordan simply ran to the three-point line to catch the ball, and then singled Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan took a step back, bent down, fixed his sharp eyes on Jordan's eyes, and spat out trash words: "Flying man, there is something..."

At this moment, his left foot suddenly took a step forward, and when he leaned over, he stabbed forward with his left hand, making the movement of stabbing the ball.

Although Jordan was a little distracted by Zhou Quan's trash talk, his arms were long and he was able to grasp the ball steadily with one hand. He turned around and gave way to Zhou Quan's poke with his right hand.

Zhou Quan retreated after missing the ball, but in the next moment, he suddenly went up to poke the ball again.

Jordan had just returned from his turned around position, but he didn't expect Zhou Quan to poke the ball again, and this time he was poked straight.

"Snapped!"

Under the precise strike, Zhou Quan knocked the ball away from Jordan's right hand with a slap, and then rushed forward. After blowing the ball with his left hand, he pulled the ball up and accelerated forward with all his strength.

"Oh, steal, Iron Fist steals the flying man..."

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman screamed excitedly, and the Central Gym also burst into cheers.

"This bastard!"

Jordan chased after him anxiously, but he started behind and was already two steps behind.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan made a quick move, entered the penalty area from the left wing, and scored a goal with a powerful smash and dunk.

"Oh hoo!"

Thirteen thousand Supersonic fans immediately raised their arms and shouted wildly.

"Beautiful! A one-stop fast-break dunk after the steal." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.

"At 35:36, Zhou Quan scored 5 points in a row, and the Sonics have overtaken the score." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Zhang Lili laughed and said, "Zhou Quan's continuous poking made Jordan hard to guard against!"

Jordan pulled up his jersey to wipe off his sweat, and gave Zhou Quan a sidelong glance. He was already careful and cautious, but he still followed Zhou Quan's words. This bastard is too cunning.

"Michael, calm down."

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson yelled, and after Jordan looked over, he made a pick-and-roll gesture, which reminded Jordan to use his teammates' pick-and-rolls to get rid of Iron Fist's defense as much as possible.

Jordan nodded, paranoid but not stubborn.

Next, both he and Pippen strengthened their breakthroughs with the ball, and aimed at the weakness of the Supersonics' lack of strong inside, they increased their efforts to attack the basket.

Conversely, Zhou Quan still combined offense and passing to maintain the situation, but some teammates played too poorly to open the score.

After the second quarter, 52:52, the two teams tied.
