God of NBA point guards

Chapter 401 It seems that Zhou Quan really slept well last night

After Jordan and others sat down, Phil Jackson immediately said: "Iron Fist made 3 of 3 shots, 7 points, 2 assists and 1 steal. It seems that he is in very good condition. We must strengthen our defense against him."

Speaking of this, he said to Ron Harper: "Ron, show your best skills. I don't ask you to prevent him to death. No one can do it. I only ask you to limit his efficiency. Don't be afraid of fouls. This is the Finals, this is America, this is our place."

"Understood." Ron Harper nodded.

Phil Jackson said to Jordan again: "Michael, you still need to borrow more from your teammates' pick-and-roll cover."

"I will." Jordan nodded.

Phil Jackson said to Pippen again: "Scottie, be careful when passing the ball."

After seeing Pippen nodding, he said to Toni Kukoc and Kevin Willis: "You two switch sides, Kevin will cover for Michael in the mid-range area, and Tony will go out for Scottie. When setting screens, be careful about Rodman switching."

Next to the bench, George Karl was delighted.

If Iron Fist's shooting touch is average today, he is going to replace Matt Geiger, let Gilliam go up, and increase his low-post offensive ability, which can suppress part of the opponent's defense and create more space for the outside line. Come out, it can also create more space for Tekken to break through.

Now that Matt Geiger is on top, the ability to open the inside line is seriously insufficient, so he can only rely on outside shooting. It is a test of the touch, but fortunately it is good.

At this point the timeout ends and play resumes.

Pippen drives the ball on the left wing, and Kukoc pulls out to screen for him.

Meanwhile, Jordan goes to the right wing, Kevin Willis comes out to set him a screen, and he cuts to the basket.

Zhou Quan was a step slower, because Kevin Willis was an inside line, he was big and formed a wider wall, so he took an extra step around.

Seeing that Jordan cut into the right waist, Pippen, who was holding the ball on the left wing, did not break through after disassembling, but passed the ball immediately.

"boom!"

Jordan caught the ball and took off, with a tomahawk-style dunk, smashing the ball into the basket.

"Oh hoo!"

Two thousand Bulls fans cheered.

"Shh!"

Then the boos of the home fans drowned out the cheers of the Bulls fans.

"Phil Jackson is still good. He saw Rodman's ability to switch defenses, so he adjusted him to the other wing." Magic Johnson smiled happily.

"7:12, now let's see how the Sonics attack. At present, Jordan made 2 of 2 shots, 5 points and 1 assist, Iron Fist made 3 of 3 shots, 7 points, 2 assists and 1 steal. They have not missed any shots yet. Not bad." Larry Bird laughed.

Seeing Matt Geiger work hard to get a position at the basket, Zhou Quan passed the ball in.

After receiving the ball, Geiger turned to the outside, carried Kevin Willis inside with his left elbow, and hit a sideways hook with his right hand.

"boom!"

Toni Kukoc came over from the right side of the basket to block the block, which affected the shot and missed the shot.

Fortunately, Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound and then jumped for a layup for the second time.

"boom!"

Kevin Willis blocked the shot at the basket, but still missed.

Kukoc grabbed the backboard this time and threw it to Jordan on the right-wing outside line, and Jordan started to go down quickly.

Zhou Quan on the left wing also quickly turned around and returned to the defense, one left and one right with Jordan, and quickly ran to the frontcourt of the Bulls.

"It's a pity that the ball missed two shots at the basket." Zhang Lili said regretfully.

At this time, Jordan rushed to the basket from the left wing. Seeing Zhou Quan rushing over from the right waist, he still jumped up and grabbed the ball with one hand as if to pick the basket.
Zhou Quan flew up, and was about to use a precise strike to block the block, but Jordan suddenly withdrew his right hand. After flashing the block, he flew from the front of the basket to the front right side, and before landing, he backhanded the ball to the basket With a throw above the basket, the ball rolls down the basket.

"Beautiful! Michael completed a pole-style backhand." Magic Johnson shouted excitedly.

"It's really beautiful, especially in the face of the Iron Fist's defense." Larry Bird nodded.

“9：12，现在迈克尔也是3投3中得7分了。”魔术师约翰逊笑道。

Supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan took the ball to the left wing, Schramf pulled to the top of the arc, and he intentionally made a breakthrough from the right side close to the top of the arc.

When Schramff saw it, he quickly moved to the left wing along the three-point line.

Pippen hesitated for a moment, should he chase Schramff, or pinch an iron fist?
Just this moment of hesitation, Zhou Quan passed the ball, flicked his right hand back, and the ball flew to Schramf.

When Pippen caught up, Schramff had already made a three-pointer, and his block was still half a beat behind.

"boom!"

It's just that the three-pointer was missed. Kevin Willis grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Bulls attacked.

"Unfortunately, the small open space missed the three-pointer." Zhang Lili shook his head regretfully.

"boom!"

Looking back, Jordan made a mid-range shot from the right wing with the cover of Kevin Willis. Both Matt Geiger and Zhou Quan were half a beat behind, but they also missed.

Schramf rushed in and grabbed the rebound, and the Sonics attacked.

"Jordan made 4 of 3 shots and missed the first ball. Now let's see when Iron Fist missed the first ball." Larry Bird laughed.

Zhou Quan was still on the left wing and Schramf played a sudden point tactic.

First break through Ron Harper with the ball, take a step back when he is approaching, and then change direction and break through in front of him with a feint, and then rush over from the right.

It was still deliberately attracting Pippen's double-team, but this time Pippen did not choose to double-team, nor did he hesitate, but immediately followed Schramf, who was moving to the left wing.

So, Zhou Quan went to the left elbow area and didn't rush in, because there were two defenders inside, so he stopped there and shot a jump shot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"Beautiful! 4 of 4 shots, and a three-pointer, already 9 points." Zhang rationally said excitedly.

"It seems that Zhou Quan did sleep well last night. No wonder he wanted to keep it a secret. If the Bulls knew about such a good touch, they would definitely arrange an outside double team for him." Xu Jicheng laughed.

"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed when he heard it.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson had already sat down, but after seeing the ball, he stood up again.

He expected Ron Harper to limit Zhou Quan, but the facts told him that Zhou Quan's 7 offenses were defended by Ron Harper 6 times, but he scored 4 goals and assisted 2 times, and only 1 time was given to Matt Geiger. The pass was missed, but it has nothing to do with Ron Harper's defense. What does this mean?He knew very well that Ron Harper couldn't guard Zhou Quan by himself.

Of course, Jordan couldn't defend against Zhou Quan either, and he knew that Zhou Quan had top-notch ability to shoot and pass. In his opinion, he was more threatening with the ball than Jordan, so he didn't blame Ron Harper.

Now either concentrate on double-teaming Zhou Quan, or let Zhou Quan beat Ron Harper. With the current hand feeling shown by Zhou Quan, 50+ is possible.

So now he has to weigh clearly which side to choose.

"boom!"

At this time, Jordan missed a three-pointer under Zhou Quan's defense, Rodman protected the backcourt rebound, and the Supersonics attacked.

"Jordan missed two shots in a row, and now he made 5 of 3 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers." Xu Jicheng said.

"Zhou Quan went to the frontcourt and played on the left wing. This is the most reasonable way to play, because Jordan is on the right wing and can avoid being double-teamed by Jordan." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Take him!"

At this moment, Phil Jackson made up his mind and double-teamed Zhou Quan with all his strength. Today Zhou Quan felt so good, he would rather let others score than let Zhou Quan score.

Hearing the head coach's order, Pippen, who is in a high position, immediately moved a step to the left wing, and reached the left end of the free throw line. As long as Zhou Quan rushed in, he could immediately complete the supplementary defense and flank attack.

And Toni Kukoc under the basket also mentioned the upper corner of the paint area. As long as Zhou Quan breaks into the left elbow area, he can form a three-in-one with Pippen and Ron Harper.

As for the basket, Matt Geiger and Rodman's offense is average, so they are handed over to Kevin Willis, and he can turn around and return to the defense at any time, and he can reach the basket in one step.

"This is going to double-team, let's see how Zhou Quan fights."

Seeing Pippen and Kukoc move ahead of time, Zhang rationally shouted nervously.

Zhou Quan immediately dribbled the ball and took a step to the left. When Ron Harper caught up, he suddenly turned around and passed, then took a step in, stopped for a jump shot, and shot two points far away.

At the moment of the shot, his mental attention was highly concentrated to the extreme.

The ultimate concentration of this kind of attention seems to be that when practicing Sleeping Alchemy, all distracting thoughts are eliminated, leaving only one thought, to throw the ball in.

At the moment of the shot, he ruled out all other factors, such as the interference of the defender, the noise interference on the scene, the worry about whether the shot can be made, and so on.

At this moment, in his vision, the basket is like the sea.

The next moment, with a flick of his five fingers, his ball flew into the sea.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan made 5 of 5 shots and scored 11 points." Xu Jicheng shouted very excitedly.

"Zhou Quan, another [-] points in a single quarter, let's see if Jordan can keep up with the rhythm." Zhang Lili also shouted excitedly.

9:16, the Bulls attack.

In the TNT commentary seat, Larry Bird analyzed: "The Bulls' double-team tactic is generally to double-team when the ball-handler rushes in and reaches the edge of the paint area.

At the beginning of the breakthrough, they just shrink the defense, and when the ball holder is close to the paint area, he speeds up the double-teaming speed, so that the opponent will not leave a large space on the outside.

But now, Iron Fist is shooting from the outside, not in. It just so happens that he feels good today, which makes it difficult for the Bulls. Are they going to double-team Iron Fist on the three-point line?
This is too difficult. Once double-teamed like that, there will be a lot of open positions in other positions. With Iron Fist's passing ability, the Bulls are likely to pay a huge price. "

"Let's see how coach Phil Jackson chooses." Magic Johnson said helplessly.

"brush!"

And Jordan, who was holding the ball, performed a pick-and-roll on the right wing. After receiving the pass, Kevin Willis took the first shot, and Matt Geiger failed to keep up and made a hit.

"11:16, the Bulls are still 5 points behind." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lili said: "Actually, the Bulls' offense is pretty good, 8 of 5 shots, 62.5% success rate, very efficient.

The Sonics are now 10 of 7 shots, with a 70% success rate. The success rate is higher, and they have an advantage in shots, with three more shots. "

"So don't be careless at the supersonic speed." Xu Jicheng nodded and reminded.

"The Sonics currently have an advantage in rebounding, and the Bulls made a mistake once, and their shots are slightly worse than the Sonics. This is the reason why they take fewer shots than the Sonics." Zhang rationally analyzed.

"boom!"

At this time, Hawkins was on the right wing and Rodman was doing a pick-and-roll cover, ran out from inside to catch the ball, and made a three-pointer. Jordan caught up and sealed it in the face, but missed.

Pippen goes in and grabs the rebound, and the Bulls attack.

Zhou Quan followed Jordan to death on the right wing, and Schramff defended desperately on the left wing. Pippen forced a shot and missed a shot. Zhou Quan rushed in and grabbed the rebound, making Rodman stare at him.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan singled Ron Harper from outside the left-wing three-point line and missed the first ball of the day. The ball had already gone in and jumped out again.

Phil Jackson did not choose to double-team Zhou Quan near the three-point line. After Zhou Quan missed the ball, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't make a shot in the singles. It should be that when Zhou Quan jumped up, Ron Harper pulled his jersey underneath, which affected the shot, and the referee didn't blow it." Zhang Reasonable said.

At this time, the video of the attack began to play back on the hanging screen. It was indeed Ron Harper who quietly pulled Zhou Quan's jersey.

But the game continued on the court, Kukoc grabbed the rebound, Jordan caught the ball and quickly played it outside, Zhou Quan still played back quickly from the other wing.

Jordan rushed in from the left waist, Zhou Quan rushed in from the right waist, and the two began to repeat the offense and defense not long ago.

This time, Jordan still took off, holding the ball in his left hand as if he was about to dunk, and his right hand stuck outside.

Zhou Quan also took off in the same way, his right arm crossed Jordan's body, trying to block Jordan's left hand.

Jordan's left hand holding the ball suddenly deflected towards the backboard, and while passing the block, he took advantage of the opportunity to send it to the backboard for a layup.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, the goal that must be scored was rejected by the basket.

Zhou Quan heard the sound of smashing the basket when he landed, and turned around quickly. With the full-level panoramic vision, he saw the position of the basket for the first time, and then took off first to catch it. Jordan also slowed down a little.

"Beautiful! I was lucky, and I defended the ball." Zhang Li said excitedly.

“还是11：16，超音速12投7中，公牛10投5中，命中率都在下降。”徐计成道。

"The decline is certain. They all have a shooting percentage of [-] to [-]%. How is that possible? This is the finals." Zhang Lili laughed.

Xu Jicheng suddenly said: "Director Zhang, did you notice that just now, Jordan and Zhou Quan took off almost at the same time, and landed almost at the same time, and they are almost in the air."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Really? That means that Jordan's physical fitness is indeed not as good as before. After all, he is more than 33 years old.

The average player has already entered the late stage of his career at this age. He is basically still at his peak here, has no injury problems yet, and is already very durable, with historical-level physique and athleticism. "
