God of NBA point guards

Chapter 320

Bill Walton said: "In the second round of the series in 1956, the Lakers beat their opponents by 133 points with a score of 75:58. Today's record is almost broken."

Williams said with a smile: "If it weren't for Iron Fist to check in three quarters, this record would definitely be broken."

At this time, Zhou Quan was being interviewed on the sidelines.

"Iron Fist, why is the defensive state so terrible today?" ABC TV reporter asked.

"When you concentrate, you can do what I did today, and you will do it faster and better." Zhou Quan smiled.

"No, I can't do it." The reporter immediately shook his head.

Zhou Quan laughed, and the reporter asked again: "This is your third triple-double, the second triple-double in the playoffs, all triple-doubles in steals, and you also played the only playoff 5* in the history of the league. 5. What makes you so good on the defensive end?"

Zhou Quan thought about it seriously, and said seriously: "It's the opponent."

"Huh?" The reporter was obviously taken aback.

Zhou Quan explained: "Because if we don't play such data and performance, we can't beat them."

The reporter couldn't help laughing, and then he asked again: "So for this Western Conference Finals series, do you have more confidence now?"

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I have always been full of the greatest confidence in victory. As I said, we have the experience of defeating them in the Western Conference Finals. Tonight's game proves that my words are correct."

"Yes, Dameng and the others have already been destroyed by you, by your steal." The reporter complimented.

At this time, Dameng rushed into the visiting team's locker room, went directly into the bathroom, turned on the shower head, and as the hot water rushed down, tears that he had endured for a long time also came out of his eyes.

Last year's Western Conference Finals was lost to the Supersonics and Tekken, but now the team's lineup has been strengthened, and there is a glider by his side. He is determined to win this year's Western Conference Finals. I hoped, but I didn't expect that the first battle would be like this.

Shame, really a shame!

He stayed in the bathroom for a long time before going out. Coach Tomjanovich stayed with him all the time and said: "Hakeem, don't be discouraged. I can guarantee that he can't often play like tonight. Just once in a while."

Dameng nodded, and said bitterly: "I know."

Of course he knows that Tekken has only recorded a triple-double in steals three times in four seasons. The first time it was met by Jordan, and it was a tiebreaker in the second round when the Bulls were eliminated. The second time was in the regular season last season. , defeated, and this time he ran into him again, also defeated.

He said in a muffled voice: "I won't be discouraged. He can play in this state at most once a year. We are lucky to meet tonight. If we meet like Michael in the tiebreaker, it will be even worse."

"I'm relieved if you think so." Tomjanovich nodded.

In the locker room of the home team, Zhou Quan received many calls congratulating him on his triple-double in steals.

O'Neal also called and yelled, "Iron Fist, you wait, I'm going to kill the Bulls and Michael Jordan, see you in the Finals."

"Well, Shark, don't think about the finals, you'd better be mentally prepared, don't be careless." Zhou Quan reminded.

"What psychological preparation?" O'Neill asked suspiciously.

"The Bulls are very strong, Jordan is still in his prime, don't be swept away." Zhou Quan joked.

"Tekken, you wait for me, I'm going to sweep you in the finals." O'Neill said angrily.

……

An hour later, the post-match press conference.

"Dream, you made 21 of 8 shots tonight, 38.1% from the field, 6 of 4 free throws, 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, but you had 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, and you were caught twice by Iron Fist Steals, such a poor state, you seem to have not done what you said before the game, revenge, how do you explain this?" The New York Times reporter asked.

Dameng said with a straight face: "This is a series, and I will fulfill my promise."

"Do you have anything to say about Iron Fist's performance tonight?" the reporter asked again.

Dameng's fist couldn't help clenching, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said in a hateful voice: "No."

"Clyde, you were intercepted by Iron Fist twice when you broke through with the ball tonight, and you only scored 17 points, with a shooting percentage of less than [-]%. So for this series, do you still have the confidence to win?" asked a Los Angeles Daily reporter who asked a question.

The glider Drexler said with some embarrassment: "There are indeed some problems in the state tonight, and we have all been affected..."

"Is it the influence of Iron Fist?" the reporter interjected.

Glider said even more embarrassingly: "He played in an incredible state tonight, especially in the first quarter, with six steals in 10 minutes. I can no longer describe the shock in my heart..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "We can't help but be affected. We made as many as 29 mistakes in the whole game, and we completely lost our state."

"Do you still have confidence in this series?" The reporter asked again.

"Of course, we will come back, as Hakeem said, this is a series." Said the glider quickly.

On the other side, the supersonic press conference.

"Tekken, do you think this series will be smoother?" the Seattle Post reporter asked.

Zhou Quan said solemnly: "We are confident, but at the same time we should treat the next G2 battle with the most cautious attitude. Just because we won this game, we should not think that our opponent is vulnerable."

"Do you think Mosaic is still a formidable opponent?"

"We will not underestimate any opponent, and we cannot underestimate any opponent."

Back at the hotel, Zhou Quan soaked in the bathtub. In addition to being very tired physically, he also felt a little empty in his mind, as if he had been emptied.

He has experienced this state before, and it is a normal reaction after excessive energy consumption.

"Wouldn't it be a ghost game?"

……

"Dreaming of Seattle!" The New York Times.

"Greatest Steals King!" Seattle Journal.

The next day, the American media began to hype last night's Western Conference Finals G1 game.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Quan woke up feeling less energetic than yesterday.

I didn't go to bed until two o'clock in the morning last night. Because I was too excited, it seemed that sleeping pills was useless. I couldn't suppress the excitement, and it was difficult to enter deep sleep, which affected the quality of sleep.

That night, the Eastern Conference finals began, and the Bulls played against the Magic at home.

魔术轮换球员达到了12人，人人都上了场，但只有8人得分，其中奥尼尔砍下了27分6篮板6助攻2抢断3失误的数据，安芬尼哈达威轰下38分3篮板3助攻3抢断4失误的数据。

The two teamed up to score 65 points, but the remaining ten players only scored 18 points in total, and the other three main players scored only two points in total. The main power forward Cobra Grant and the main small forward Dennis Scott added up to 0 points , The team only scored 83 points.

The Bulls faced off with 11 players, and all of them scored. Six of them scored in double figures. Jordan scored 21 points, and the team scored 115 points. They beat the Magic by 32 points.

In terms of rebounds, the Magic only grabbed 35, but the Bulls had as many as 52, a full 17 more.

In terms of assists, the Magic had 18 and the Bulls 35.

"It's time to lose!"

Zhou Quan cursed, stepped forward and turned off the TV.

……

On the 24th, when he woke up in the morning, Zhou Quan felt that he was still in good spirits. Although he was not as good as the day before yesterday, he was better than yesterday and better than before. He didn't have many dreams last night. He was sure that his sleeping alchemy had made some progress.

He doesn't expect to be in the same state as the day before yesterday, but as long as he has the same quality of sleep as last night every day in the future, then his state should rise to a higher level as a whole.

Thinking of this, he was very excited and looking forward to it.

Grandpa forced him to practice sleeping alchemy at the beginning, and he really followed it to learn it carefully in order to be filial to grandpa. This may not be a blessing.

Eight o'clock, Seattle Center.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Pete Chilkat, Robert Horry, Drexler, Kenny Smith

Sonics: Almon Gilliam, Rodman, Schrempf, Kendall Gill, Joo Kwon
"victory!"

At 08:30, starting the game, in front of the Mosaic bench, under the leadership of Dameng, plus [-] fans of the visiting team, there was a burst of passionate shouts in the Central Gymnasium.

"victory!"

In front of the supersonic bench, Zhou Quan took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Victory! Victory! Victory..."

Immediately, the shouts of more than 1 home fans overwhelmed the voices of the visiting team.

Zhang Lili said at this time: "Needless to say, the morale of the home team is very high, but the morale of the visiting team seems to be good.

The big defeat in the G1 game did not seem to affect the morale of the Mosaic team. This team does have very good resilience. "

Jump ball, mosaic attack.

"boom!"

Drexler singled Kendall Gill with the ball, made a fake shot, and shot a three-pointer from the right-wing three-point line, which was a little shorter.

Rodman protected the backcourt rebound, Dameng stopped his fast pass in time, Zhou Quan came down to catch the basketball and then moved forward.

As soon as he crossed the center line and his teammates entered the three-point line, he immediately made a tactical gesture, and the other four started running.

On the right wing, Kendall Gill ran back and cut in. Rodman ran out and made a pick-and-roll outside the right waist, blocking Drexler who was chasing up.

And just when Jill bypassed the big dream, Zhou Quan, who was still three meters away from the top of the arc, pulled the ball up, and suddenly pushed forward with one hand, the basketball flew past Kenny Smith in front of him in an instant, and flew to One step inside the right waist.

Kendall Gil, who bypassed the big dream, stepped on the right waist, and his eyes were already looking at the top of the arc, just in time to see the ball coming.

"it is good!"

He snorted secretly, caught the ball with both hands, and did not dribble. After two steps, he straightened up and layup with one hand.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment, a big hand waved from behind and instantly sent his fan flying.

"Oh!"

The scene exclaimed.

"Damn it! Big Dream hated Jill."

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman exclaimed.

The ball was slapped to the left wing and picked up by Mosaic power forward Chilkat, who immediately passed it to Robert Horry on the outside. Horry turned around and took the ball down quickly.

Zhou Quan returned to the defense from a position three meters away from the top of the arc. At this time, Horry passed to Kenny Smith. Smith stopped when he advanced to the top of the arc, and Zhou Quan also stopped in front.

At this time, Horry cut from the right wing to the basket, Kenny Smith immediately lobbed the ball, he caught the ball at the right waist, Schramf chased him, at this time, Dameng rushed down from the top of the arc, and he quickly pass the ball.

"boom!"

Dameng caught the ball and took off, dunking with one hand, blasting the Sonics' basket.

"Oh, Dameng is really fierce! He is indeed a super center, and he should be the strongest among the four super centers." Zhang Lili praised.

Xu Jicheng frowned and said, "The first attack and defense failure hurts morale!"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Just now Zhou Quan's pass was really good, a scalpel-style pass, unfortunately he was capped by Dameng. But the tactics are reasonable and should be played like this."

2:0, supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture again. After his teammates started running, he started to run towards the free throw line.

Because Kenny Smith didn't dare to fight, he retreated step by step, so he ran into it head-on, which was more conducive to his vision.

When advancing to the free throw line with the ball, Kenny Smith didn't dare to retreat any more, he gritted his teeth and stood in front of Zhou Quan.

The big dream under the basket couldn't stand anymore, so he had to come out from the basket, and this was the purpose of Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball, to attract the big dream from the basket and create opportunities for his teammates to cut inside.

When Dameng came out of the basket, Kendall Gill cut inside again, and Rodman also made a pick-and-roll again, blocking the chasing glider.

Zhou Quan hit the ground and passed the ball in an instant, but Dameng didn't react very quickly. The ball hit his feet and passed it down. He turned around quickly, but it was half a beat too late.

Kendall Gill caught the ball and stepped up for a layup and easily put the ball into the basket.

"Pretty spread!"

Zhang Lili praised: "The offensive tactics are very clear, which is to break through with the ball, cooperate with passing and cutting, and directly attack the basket."

Kenny Smith advanced with the ball and handed it to Drexler immediately after reaching the frontcourt. Drexler broke through with the ball and when he reached the outside of the paint area, he attracted Rodman's supplementary defense, and then the ball Throw it over the hoop.

"boom!"

The next moment, the big dream hung on the basket.

4:2, supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan still broke through with the ball from the top of the arc, but this time the dream was gone, and the power forward Chilkat on the left waist came in to intercept and double-team.

He scored the ball in a double-team, and the open center Gilliam caught the ball and made a jumper. Robert Horry, who was defending Schrempf above him, quickly made up the defense, which affected the shot and failed to make a hit.

Dameng and Rodman took off to grab the rebound at the same time, Rodman hit it, and it happened to be caught by Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan made a fadeaway jumper from the free throw line, and Kenny Smith took off to block the block without touching it.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"Oh, haha, is this a fadeaway jumper?" Zhang Lili couldn't believe it. It was the first time he saw Zhou Quan's fadeaway in four seasons.

Not only was he surprised, Bill Walton was also surprised, and countless people, including Michael Jordan.

"When did this guy come out of practice?" In front of the TV, Jordan frowned.

His fadeaway jumper, including the turnaround jumper, has only really matured this year and has reached the top level. Although Zhou Quan's fadeaway is not as technical as his, it looks very good, at least it has reached the first-class level. The level is only a little worse than him.

4:4, Mosaic attack.

Kenny Smith advanced with the ball, and he still planned to hand the ball to the glider after crossing the center line.

This is also the team's arrangement today, and he really didn't dare to hold the ball in front of Iron Fist for too long, for fear of not knowing when he would be intercepted.

When he came to the center line and took a step, he turned to the right, with his left elbow in front of him, pulled the ball up with his right hand, and then pushed to the right.

"squeak!"

Before the ball was shot, there was only the sound of sharp sneakers rubbing, Zhou Quan stepped forward, and his left hand instantly cut into the passing route.

"not good!"

Kenny Smith's heart trembled.

"Snapped!"

In the next instant, Zhou Quan swept past the front of the Jets and took the basketball away.

"Ooh, steal! Iron Fist steals the Jets..."

The roar of the live commentator Henem Chrisman immediately sounded, and the cheers of the home team fans also sounded.

"boom!"

No one could prevent the fast break near the center line. Zhou Quan dunked with one hand and scored another goal.

"Beautiful! 4:6, the Sonics lead by two points." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Let's see how many times Zhou Quan can steal this game." Xu Jicheng said with great anticipation and excitement.

In the next game, the two sides fell into a bitter battle and played until the end of the third quarter, 72:72, and the two sides drew for the 15th time.

On the mosaic side, Dameng and the glider cooperated in the inside and outside lanes, especially Dameng's inside lanes, which caused great damage. Rodman and Gilliam couldn't stand it, so they replaced Matt Gay. The same goes for Geer, who was blown away, with a couple of fouls on everyone.

George Karl had to ask Schramf, Zhou Quan and other outsiders to strengthen the flank attack on the low post, which barely suppressed Dameng's offense.

But Dameng’s passing is good, and many times the flanking caused a situation where Kenny Smith and Robert got a lot of open space on the outside. They didn’t miss the opportunity. Just for three-pointers, they made 14 of 6 shots in three quarters. The hit rate reached 42.9%.

大梦三节16投8中，14罚10中，杀伤力无限，轰下26分10篮板5助攻2抢断3盖帽3失误3犯规的数据。

On the Supersonic side, Zhou Quan switched to defending Drexler, but the opponent scored 8 points on 3-of-8 shooting, stealing the opponent twice, and causing the glider to make 4 turnovers in three quarters.

But after he switched to Drexler, Kenny Smith took over the ball, and he still couldn't defend Mosaic's ball holder.

Fortunately, Kendall Gill's defense is not bad. Kenny Smith's personal offense today is average, but it doesn't delay him passing the ball to Dameng.

进攻端，马赛克没有人能防住周权，三节14投8中，命中率达到了57.1%，三分球2投1中，加上4罚4中，得到了21分5篮板10助攻4抢断1盖帽2失误2犯规的数据。

But the two teams, that is, the two of them played well, and the other two players were in poor condition and not efficient enough under each other's strong defense.
