God of NBA point guards

Chapter 368 50+, zero seal gloves

After the first quarter, 30:20, the Sonics led by 10 points.

With Schrempf and Rodman absent, the offensive and rebounding capabilities of the main lineup are not enough. Zhou Quan can only strengthen his offense and defense, rushing to grab rebounds with all his strength, and use his own ability to make up for the loss caused by their absence.

首节打完了11分钟，在手套的头上10投6中，三分球4投2中，4罚4中，单节轰下18分3篮板2助攻2抢断0失误0犯规的数据。

He didn't rush to the basket to attack, and he was very scruples about the defense of the inside organization of Mourning and Kurt Thomas. After breaking through with the ball, he usually made an emergency stop and jump shot.

Payton also played 11 minutes in the first quarter. In fact, he was replaced with 1 minute left, and Zhou Quancai went off.

他在首节被周权防得出现三次失误，3投0中之后没有再出手，得0分2篮板2助攻3失误2犯规。

However, the two main players of the Supersonics were absent, there was a problem with the lineup rotation, and the substitute lineup in the second quarter was not strong enough, so the Heat regained 6 points in the second quarter and were only 4 points behind after halftime.

The second quarter started quickly. Payton didn't play at first, but when a dead ball appeared in 1 minute, he stood up from the bench.

"Damn bastard! He's after me."

Seeing Zhou Quan on the bench next to him also stand up and prepare to play, he couldn't help cursing.

Some Heat players were very helpless when they heard this sentence. You talked nonsense before the game. If the Iron Fist is not targeting you, who are you targeting?
"Are you targeting me?"

Payton, who didn't talk to Zhou Quan in the first quarter, asked bitterly.

Zhou Quan was stunned, and asked in surprise, "Why can a mad dog speak human language?"

"you?"

Peyton was so angry that he vomited blood.

In the second quarter, Zhou Quan still stared at Payton. His main focus was on organization, passing, and defense. Due to physical distribution, he reduced a part of the offense and scored 8 points, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 1 turnover.
Because the main energy was on the defensive end, Payton still couldn't score a point for the second time. He was also stared at very few shots and only made two shots.

"Hey, Gloves, how many points have you scored? You have to perform well, or the Heat might trade you." Zhou Quan asked with concern when he entered the tunnel.

"What's none of your business?" Peyton was so angry that his voice became shrill.

"You idiot, I care about you."

After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he burst out laughing, and so did a bunch of Supersonic players.

"asshole!"

Payton looked at Zhou Quan's back, trembling with anger.

Mourning who was beside him suddenly said: "Gary, we have to fight him, even if you are unreasonable, I will help you as a teammate.

Either stop provoking him. With his current status, you can't afford to provoke him. If something goes wrong, the alliance will only punish you and not target him. "

Peyton was angry, glared at Mourning, and stepped forward.

After a 15-minute break, the second half begins.

At the top of the arc, Payton made a false and real shot with a tentative step, and suddenly made a three-pointer.

"predict!"

But Zhou Quan, who played half-step defense, reacted too quickly. After retreating, he immediately took a step to block the block. After the basketball shot, he tapped the lower part of the ball in time and tapped the ball.

"Seal, beautiful!" John Moore shouted.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan took off for the second time, caught the ball, then turned around and passed the man, and then jumped behind Payton, and started to go down quickly.

Payton secretly grabbed Zhou Quan's jersey, trying to slow him down, but Zhou Quan opened it with one hand, and then fell behind, and fell behind forever.

"boom!"

One step took off from the free throw line, and under the tomahawk dunk, the Heat's rebound was exploded.

"28:0." Zhou Quan said to Gary Payton.

"I will endure!"

Gary Payton gritted his teeth and said to himself.

The Heat attacked, Payton pulled to the right wing and passed the ball to Mourning in the low post on the right wing. Mourning arched Elvin Johnson and turned over for a jumper.

At this moment, Zhou Quan jumped down from the right elbow, and with a wave of his hand, slapped the basketball that Mourning had just shot.

When he slapped, he controlled the strength and direction, slapped towards the basket, and was just received by Matt Geiger under the basket.

"The Sonics didn't play a lot of low-post offense today, and there were few offenses at the basket. This is because they have scruples about the Heat's inside defense." James Worthy said.

"That's true. The inside mainly plays the second offense, and the outside is responsible for the main offense. Iron Fist scored 26 points in the half, Hawkins 10 points, and Gilliam, who played small forward today, scored 7 points. Now in the second half, Iron Fist should strengthen his personal offense." John Moore analyzed.

"brush!"

When Zhou Quan came to the top of the arc, he suddenly shot up, just an unreasonable three-pointer, and Payton didn't even react.

"31:0."

Zhou Quan's trash talk came again, and Gary Payton's face was already black and purple.

"Haha, the glove was completely blown away by the iron fist today." John Moore laughed.

"He only looks up to Jordan, not to Iron Fist. It is very normal to be blown up by Iron Fist. With Iron Fist's current status, he cannot tolerate Gary Payton. It is inevitable to teach him a lesson." James Worthy laughed road.

John Moore said: "Actually, the relationship between Gloves and Jordan is average, and there have been conflicts on the court, but he has more opinions on Iron Fist."

James Worthy shook his head and said: "Iron Fist was traded when he went to Seattle, and he didn't deliberately grab his position. To be honest, Iron Fist stayed in the Pistons that year, and there may be hope of defending the title."

"It's hard to say, the management will not keep Rodman. To save costs, without his rebounds, it will be very difficult to defend the title." John Moore said.

Payton came to the top of the arc with the ball, Zhou Quan took half a step to defend, and he was a little uncomfortable being defended.

Take a step back, there is no threat if you are too far from the three-point line, he does not have the ability to go beyond the three-point line, if you are too close, it is easy to be intercepted.

At this time, Billy Owens, a small forward two steps from the left-wing three-point line, leaned against Gilliam and asked him for the ball.

Zhou Quan mastered Gary Payton's left hand, his body leaned slightly to the left wing, and he also saw Owens, who was below him, wanting the ball.

But he pretended not to see it, and suddenly reached out to poke the ball.

Gary Payton immediately turned around to protect the ball, and then passed the ball to Billy Owens.

But Zhou Quan's steal was just a fake action to lure the opponent to pass the ball. When Payton turned around, he quickly used the jump step in the boxing pace and grabbed the opponent's right side in one go.

"Snapped!"

At the moment Payton passed the ball, he stretched out his right hand, completed the steal, and rushed forward, starting a quick counterattack.

"what?"

Peyton was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.

"boom!"

In the counterattack from outside the top of the arc, Zhou Quan succeeded nine times out of ten, and ended the attack with a tomahawk-style dunk again.

"Payton's turning and passing action is actually very fast. Turning around and passing the ball together, the technique is very good, but it is a pity that Iron Fist's stealing ability is too good!" James Worthy said.

"Is it intentional, or is Payton expected to pass?" John Moore asked.

After pondering for a while, James Worthy said: "It should be intentional. In single defense, Iron Fist often uses the poking action to force the opponent to make mistakes."

"I think there is also a prediction. Iron Fist should have noticed that Billy Owens is about to arrive and saw that he is asking for it, so he predicted that Payton might pass the ball." John Moore said.

"It makes sense, predicting that Payton will pass the ball, and then deliberately poking the ball to dig a hole for Payton, and finally complete the steal." James Worthy said.

"A very classic defensive trap, Iron Fist is the best hunter, he is best at this kind of defense." John Moore praised.

In this game, 105:85, the Sonics finally won by 20 points.

The Sonics relied entirely on their offense from the outside, and also played some inside, but under the strong defense of Mourning and Kurt Thomas, the efficiency was very low, so they never did much offense.

The interior offense was limited. Schramf, the second scoring point last season, was absent. Zhou Quan was fully fired. He played 46 minutes and scored 51 points again. This is his third 50+ this season, and he also has 10 assists 6 steals and 4 blocks.

Hawkins played 44 minutes and scored 14 points. Gilliam scored 40 points and 15 rebounds in 8 minutes. Vincent Aschau played 36 minutes off the bench and scored 15 points. The four together scored 95 points.

Matt Geiger played 40 minutes, grabbed 11 rebounds, and scored 6 points. His performance is actually not bad. Although his rebounding ability is not as good as Rodman's, it is not bad.

Elvin Johnson had 2 points and 7 rebounds, which was not as good as Geiger.

McMillan played 24 minutes, then got injured and left the field with only 2 points.

For the Heat, Zhou Quan used a strong defense to destroy their organizational functions, thereby suppressing their offense.

佩顿被周权彻底盯死，全场46分钟11投0中，得到0分5助攻9失误，莫宁拿到26分10篮板3盖帽，科特托马斯13分7篮板，比利欧文斯11分，雷克斯查普曼10分，五大主力合砍60分。

After the game, James Worthy shook his head and said: "The Sonics defeated the Heat with a broken lineup and won by [-] points. What matters is their physical fitness.

The Supersonics are in the midst of injuries, and the Iron Fist has lifted the injuries, but Schrempf and Rodman are far from coming back, and now they have injured McMillan, and their rotation will have big problems next. "

John Moore said: "If more marginal players are used, the record will definitely decline. If the main rotation lineup significantly increases playing time, the possibility of injury will increase.

Gilliam is 31 years old, and Hawkins is 29 years old. In fact, they are not young. It depends on their luck, whether they can survive this level. "

"Iron Fist, he performed so well in this game. He scored 50+ and blocked Payton. Is this a response to Payton's glove?" In the post-match interview, the NBC reporter asked.

"Respond to what?" Zhou Quan was surprised.

The reporter said with a smile: "He said yesterday that it is not difficult to beat the Sonics, and that Michael is still No.1 in the active game. Didn't you respond to him with a 50+ score and zero seals?"

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Of course not, what is he, do I need to do anything because of his words? There is absolutely no need for that.

The team suffered serious injuries, and I had to perform better to win. This is the only reason I got 50+. "

The reporter laughed to death in his heart, you are not a ghost because of Payton, everyone in the world knows it.

Seeing the reporter's expression, Zhou Quan also laughed, and then said: "Well, I admit, I taught Gary Payton a little lesson, I hope he will remember this lesson, and think about it when he speaks in the future .”

"Ha ha……"

Several reporters and photographers laughed.

An hour later, the post-match press conference was held.

"Gary, the iron fist hits 50+ on your head, you didn't score a point, now do you want to say something?" a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily asked.

Peyton's face was black and bright, and he opened his mouth to burst out a slang swearword, which meant to fuck you, and then said angrily:
"Today I was knocked over by him nine times, my bones are about to break, he can call offensive fouls every time, but he didn't call him once, I suspect this is his home field, Shet!"

"Ha ha……"

The reporters below were happy.

"Fake!"

Seeing this, Peyton gritted his teeth and cursed again, but he didn't dare to curse loudly, only those who were nearby could hear him.

"So now do you think the active No.1 is still Jordan?" A reporter asked loudly.

"Yes! I will never admit that he is No.1 in active duty." Payton yelled, then got up and left.

"Ha ha……"

A group of reporters in the back burst out laughing.

The next day, the media commented on the performance of Zhou Quan and Gary Payton in this game.

"Gary Payton said that defense is his specialty, and offense is just an amateur job. He is wrong. In front of the Iron Fist, his offense is amateur, and his defense is also amateur. He is an amateur basketball worker." Seattle daily.

"In the face of Iron Fist, Gary Payton and John Stockton are no different. So we suggest that the gloves increase weight. If you gain weight to 95 kg, you may be able to compete with Iron Fist." Los Angeles Daily.

"Injury problems have forced Tekken's strongest offense, three times 50+, Tekken is No. 1 in active service." Detroit Worker Daily.

"The end of provoking No.1 in active service is to blow 50+ on your head and give you zero seals." Seattle Sports News.

However, the Sonics received bad news. McMillan's injury report came out. He will have to truce for at least [-] games and may not return until early March.
