God of NBA point guards

Chapter 328 This is Jordan's best technique

Bulls attack.

Jordan ran into the penalty area from the right wing.

There are not many people in the restricted area, only Rodman and Wilperdo. He has studied it carefully. The more people there are, the stronger Zhou Quan's mobility in the restricted area will be. Entered the penalty area under Zhou Quan's marking.

He purposely ran past Wilperdo, took advantage of his teammate's cover to temporarily get rid of Zhou Quan, pulled to the left wing to receive a pass from Pippen, and immediately released a jumper.

Bypassing Wilperdo, Zhou Quan was a step slower, but Jordan's pace of catching and shooting was too fast, and it was too late for him to jump up and block the shot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"This is one of Jordan's best skills, catch and jump shot." Larry Bird praised.

Magic Johnson laughed and said: "It is a very simple and commonly used technique, but as long as it is practiced to the top level, it is very practical. However, it is difficult to practice to the top level. It requires the best coordination. The hands must be very steady and the mentality must be good. .”

Larry Bird laughed and said: "Michael's catch and jump shot is good, and his off-ball movement is also good, but he is not top-notch."

The magician was startled, looked at Larry Bird's smirk, suddenly understood, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yeah, that guy called Big Bird is the best at running off the ball and jumping with the ball." .”

"Haha..." Larry Bird laughed.

4:2, supersonic attack.

Schramff on the left wing and Gilliam pulled out made a pick-and-roll, and then he suddenly cut outside and ran to the three-point line. Pippen, who was following the defense, thought he would cut inside and was thrown away.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan passed the ball quickly, Schramf caught the ball, stepped on the three-point line and shot, with a swipe, the basketball pierced through the basket.

6:2, the Bulls attack.

Wilperdo forced his way into the basket, Rodman didn't have a hard top, and went around to defend.

At this time, Pippen lobbed the ball to the basket, and Zhou Quan, who was defending Jordan on the right wing, immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

Rodman jumped up and tried to steal the ball, but it was a good lob and didn't work.

Perdo caught the ball with his backhand, 1.2 meters away from the basket, and threw it with one hand.

"boom!"

Basket hits the basket.

Zhou Quan arrived and jumped from the right side of the basket, but the basketball rebounded and bounced to the left side of the basket.

"boom!"

The next moment, Perdo took off for the second time and made up the ball.

"Special!"

Zhou Quan cursed secretly, it was a bit embarrassing for a third-rate center to make up for him and Rodman's two first defenses.

"Rodman's height is flawed, and his ability to protect the basket is average." Zhang Li shook his head and said.

Xu Jicheng said: "You can use Matt Geiger and let him be at the basket. Rodman is responsible for Toni Kukoc. His help defense is better than single defense, and his speed is also good."

Zhang Lili said: "Let Rodman be at the basket, the main reason is to use him to control the rebound, and the second is to protect the basket.

But Mr. Xu, what you said is also a solution. Matt Geiger has started 26 games this season. As long as he plays enough time, his performance is still acceptable. "

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "Gilliam is indeed stronger than Matt Geiger."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "After all, he was the No. 87 show in [-]."

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, at 23:21, the Sonics led by two points, and the Bulls called the second timeout of this quarter.

Larry Bird said: "In the first 10 minutes, Jordan mainly played without the ball. He seldom played singles with the ball. Passing the ball, there is no chance of stealing the ball against the ball holder."

Magic Johnson smiled and said: "This must be a targeted style of play. The ball holder will never face the iron fist. Hehe, this is also a huge deterrent caused by his stealing ability. No one in the league dares to attack with the ball in front of him. , including the active No.1 Michael Jordan."

Larry Bird said with a smile: "The Bulls' rebounding ability is weaker than that of the Sonics. If they are intercepted five or six times by the Iron Fist, the loss of the ball will be serious."

The timeout ends and the substitute comes on.

However, although the Bulls' Ron Harper entered the 12-man roster, it seems that his injury has not improved and he did not play. Steve Cole and the fringe Pete Meyers are on the back line.

The inside line is Bill Wennington, Luke Longley, and the small forward is edge forward Corey Blunt.

On the Supersonic side are McMillan and Etchus, one defense and one offense. Echos' defense is not as good as McMillan, but his offensive ability is stronger. He averaged 24 minutes per game in the regular season and scored 9.8 points.

Cartwhite and Matt Geiger are on the inside line, and Schramf is still in the third position.

After the first quarter, 25:23, the Sonics still lead by two points.

Two minutes before the second quarter, the substitutes were still playing. Zhou Quan and Jordan seemed to have a tacit understanding and were not in a hurry to play.

Two minutes later, at 2:27, the Bulls tied the score, Carter White fouled, and George Karl replaced some of the main players.

Schramf has played 14 minutes and has a rest.

The remaining four are Carter White, Matt Geiger, Gilliam, McMillan, and Zhou Quan.

The Bulls also replaced some of the main players, Jordan and Pippen played, plus Steve Kerr, Luke Langley and Bill Wennington.

Jordan still played in the first quarter, that is, running non-stop, getting rid of Zhou Quan and then catching and jumping.

The rest of the Bulls also revolved around this style of play, creating opportunities for Jordan to get rid of Zhou Quan.

This style of play did not allow Zhou Quan to have a chance to steal Jordan head-on, but in the defense, he still sent a steal in the second quarter.

On his own offensive end, he still uses a sudden point tactic. Zhou Quan keeps breaking through with the ball, and his style of play is completely opposite to that of the Bulls.

The Bulls kept double-teaming, and Zhou Quan sent 7 assists in the half.

After halftime, 52:50, the Sonics lead by two points.

"Rodman performed well today. He grabbed 20 rebounds in 8 minutes in the half. The Sonics had three more rebounds than the Bulls. This is his credit." Larry Bird laughed during the intermission.

“乔丹上半场12投6中，接球跳投的效率不错。只是没有持球突破，没什么杀伤力，只有3罚3中，得到15分4篮板3助攻1抢断1失误1犯规。皮蓬今天半场得到了11分，命中率51%，还不错。”魔术师说道。

“铁拳10投5中，命中率一样，2罚2中，三分球1投0中，得12分2篮板7助攻2抢断1盖帽0失误2犯规。施拉姆夫12分，命中率54.5%。”

Larry Bird said here, and said: "Actually, I want to say that Michael's style of play is too lethal. He scored 15 points in the half, and his shooting percentage was only 50%. He is not as good as defending with an iron fist." Attacking with the ball is lethal, or it can also be called a pick-and-roll.”

The magician smiled and said, "Look at the Bulls' tactical adjustments. The first half was tepid. Jordan tried his best to get rid of the iron fist before catching and shooting, but he couldn't get rid of the iron fist every time. His shots were still affected. restricted."

In the locker room of the home team, Phil Jackson is evaluating his offensive and defensive performance in the first half.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with the first half. As long as it is delayed to the end, with Jordan's ability at critical moments, the chance of winning is greater.

However, Jordan was not very satisfied. In the first half, he became a pure shooter without the ball. His ability to break through with the ball could not be displayed at all, and his ability was only half displayed.

Although Tekken's defense is very strong, he can call pick-and-rolls, and he can still get rid of Tekken. If he goes in with the ball, he can kill the Supersonic's inside line and improve the offensive efficiency.

This is his home court. If he breaks through with the ball, he can make no more than a dozen free throws a game. How much damage can he cause?

At this time, Phil Jackson said: "Our tactics in the first half were correct. Iron Fist made two steals and one block, which shows that our offensive tactics avoided his defense. We should stick to this in the second half."

Jordan interjected, "Phil, are you sure?"

"determine."

Phil Jackson pushed the frame of the glasses, nodded with certainty.

Jordan immediately said, "But we're still two points behind."

Phil Jackson said: "That's why we still haven't locked his passing key. The double-teamer didn't cut off his passing angle. This is the problem we have to solve now."

Jordan nodded, seven assists in the Finals half, and a formidable passing ability.

Phil Jackson added: "They all opened up and played, Pippen was brought near the sideline, Iron Fist kept attacking at the top of the arc, Pippen couldn't double-team, and the quality of our double-teams was not good enough.

The main problem now is that Michael can only lock up one side of him after he is attacked, but the other side cannot be locked up. Our double-teamers can't always cut off his pass, or even block his shooting space. "

Jordan said: "His breakthrough speed is too fast, and the double-teamer can't move in front of him in time. My suggestion is that the double-teamer is only responsible for locking the pass angle on the other side, and I will be responsible for the front defense. .”

Phil Jackson asked: "Michael, can you do it?"

Jordan thought about it carefully for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "We still have someone under the basket. After locking the passing angles on both sides, his most likely choice is a stop jumper. I will be ready. "

"Well, let's do it." Phil Jackson said.

Soon after, the third quarter began.

The Bulls played all the starters, the Supersonics did not play Gilliam, continued to rest, played Matt Geiger, and the rest were all starters.

Bulls attack.

Toni Kukoc still pulled out and set up a pick-and-roll for Jordan.

Rodman follows up, Matt Geiger sits at the basket, facing Wilperdo.

Jordan still implemented the original offensive tactics, entered the penalty area, and then got rid of Zhou Quan.

He first used Toni Kukoc to get rid of Zhou Quan on the right wing and entered the penalty area. This was the first screen pick-and-roll, and when he passed the basket, Wilperdo made a second screen to block Rodman and let Rodman Deman has no chance to switch defenses.

At this time, Pippen passed the ball, and Jordan received the ball on the left side of the basket. Zhou Quan took a shortcut and jumped from above. a ball.

52 flat, supersonic attack.

Both Matt Geiger and Rodman are active in the paint area, and their ability to pull apart is not strong, so with the addition of two defenders, there are four players in the paint area, and there is not much room for breakthroughs.

Zhou Quan held the ball at the top of the arc, and Jordan, who put half a step in defense, judged that Zhou Quan would either make a fake shot, or make a sudden stop jump shot after breaking in, so he was mentally prepared.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan passed the ball in.

When Jordan saw it, he immediately turned around.

And at this moment, when Matt Geiger inside just received the ball, Zhou Quan jumped down from behind Jordan, and Jordan didn't notice it at the first time.

Matt Geiger was on the left front side of the basket, two steps away from the basket. After receiving the ball, he didn't make a shot. Seeing Zhou Quan jumping down from behind Jordan, he passed it immediately.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan received the ball and stood up. Before Tony Kukoc took off to block the block, he took the lead and made a half-beat throw, and easily hit a ball.

"Hey, this tactic, pass first and then cut, is unexpected!" Xu Jicheng said.

"Matt Geiger supported in the low post, and his continuous passing allowed Zhou Quan to get rid of Jordan. The tactics were successful." Zhang Lili laughed.

Bulls attack.

Jordan did the same, using continuous screens, got rid of Zhou Quan, entered the penalty area from the bottom line, and then ran to the left wing to receive the ball.

But this time Zhou Quan bypassed Toni Kukoc and Wilperdo in time, and rushed to Jordan when he received the ball.

"Snapped!"

Under the precise strike, as soon as Jordan received the ball, Zhou Quan swung the ball away with a big hand.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Fortunately, the flying ball was in front of him, Zhou Quan jumped forward and grabbed the ball before Jordan.

He quickly pushed forward at a position close to the right line, and Jordan chased on the left. When he hit the three-point line, he made a sudden stop, and then turned around and passed the man. go.

Jordan didn't take a step, and chased to the right again.

At this time, Kendall Gill rushed in from the top of the arc, Zhou Quan made an emergency stop at the [-]-degree position of the three-point line, and pushed with his left hand, hit the ground and passed the ball, and the ball passed to Gill's front.

Jordan followed Zhou Quan to an emergency stop and lost the chance to catch up.

"Snapped!"

Jill received the ball, BJ stretched out his hand and hit the former's arm, the ball fell, and the referee's whistle blew.

"BJ fouled for the third time. This foul is worth it. No foul. Kendall and Gill play big and small, and the success rate of hitting BJ at the basket is still very high." Zhang Reasonable said.

Next, Kendall Gill made the first free throw and missed the second free throw. Toni Kukoc grabbed the rebound, 55:52, the Sonics took the lead, and the Bulls attacked.

"Iron Fist and Jordan are still the same as in the first half. One focuses on combining offense and passing, and the other focuses on running without the ball and attacking without the ball." Larry Bird.

"boom!"

Pippen missed a jumper, Rodman grabbed the rebound, and the Sonics attacked.

Magic Johnson said: "The Bulls are concerned about Iron Fist's stealing ability, and the Supersonics hope to revitalize the strength of the whole team, so Iron Fist and Jordan's personal offensive ability have not exploded for the time being."

Larry Bird said: "If you continue to play like this, the Bulls should slowly fall behind. After all, Iron Fist's organizational skills are stronger than Pippen's. His holding the ball can often create more open opportunities for his teammates."
