God of NBA point guards

Chapter 479
Bulls attack.

Pippen failed to attack twice in a row and was afraid to take action. After Harper passed the ball to him, he dribbled the ball against Schrempf and arched it inward twice before passing it back to Harper.

At this time, Jordan on the right wing ran inside and then cut outside to get the ball. Harper saw Zhou Quan lagging behind and quickly passed the ball.

When Jordan caught the ball, Zhou Quan had already caught up with him and stabbed him with his right hand. The sudden thrust interrupted his offensive rhythm and lost the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.

At this time, Zhou Quan completed the close-up, forcing him to immediately take a step back while dribbling, and then immediately took a tentative step. While dribbling, he stepped out with his right foot to the right.

Zhou Quan was not worried at all about Jordan's tentative breakthrough when dribbling. As soon as he moved his left foot, he first took a small step back to the left to defend.

At this time, Michael Jordan dribbled the ball under his crotch, and stepped out with his right foot to the left, changing the direction of the breakthrough.

Just as Jordan was dribbling the ball, Zhou Quan quickly retracted his left foot. When Jordan's right foot changed direction and broke through, he took a big step laterally in time and blocked Jordan again.

As he moves laterally, his vision has been locked on the basketball.

One moment Jordan is pressing down on the ball, and the next moment, under his strong anticipation, when he completes the lateral movement, the basketball will bounce off the floor.

So at this moment, he was preparing for the next steal. When he completed the lateral movement, his whole body had turned into a leaning posture, like a cheetah with its back raised, about to pounce.

In a blink of an eye, the next moment comes. The basketball pulled up from the floor is about to fall into Jordan's hands. Zhou Quan stabs the basketball behind Jordan with his left hand, and with a precise strike, the next moment, his body shape Suddenly, he pounced like a cheetah.

"My ball?"

Jordan was about to rush over, but saw that Zhou Quan had already blocked the front. The next moment, Zhou Quan rushed over from his left side, and he knew something was wrong. His ball was probably broken.

Sure enough, when Zhou Quan rushed past him, he lost track of the ball. He quickly turned around and chased after him, but he was already several steps behind.

"Steal! Zhou Quan steals for the second time, and this time the victim is Michael Jordan!" Xu Jicheng roared with excitement.

"boom!"

Amid the cheers of two thousand visiting fans, Zhou Quan took the lead, sprinting to the left elbow. Two steps later, he flew up and blasted the Bulls' basket with a tomahawk dunk.

"Di!"

Phil Jackson had already called a long timeout in advance when Zhou Quan was about to leave, and then the referee blew the whistle.

"Now 8:2, the Bulls failed to attack for the third consecutive time. One of the jump shots was missed and two were stolen." Elgin Baylor said.

"Oh, the Iron Fist King's state tonight, starting with 2 points, 3 assists and 2 steals, is terrifying!" Robertson said in an exaggerated tone.

"That's why coach Phil Jackson called a timeout," Elgin Baylor said.

At this time, Robertson shouted: "Look, the replay of the ball interception just now... Oh, Tie Fist's lateral movement and interception movements are so coherent. When moving laterally, he has already completed the preparation for leaning over to prepare for the interception. Prepared."

At this time, the on-site director of the NBC TV station fixed the replay at the moment before the steal. Elgin Baylor said in surprise: "Did you see what the King of Iron Fist looked like at this time? I felt like a jaguar, a real carnivore. The momentum is too scary!”

"The eyes are so bright, I feel like he's going to eat Michael Jordan." Robertson exclaimed.

There was a gasp on the Bulls bench.

Just 2 minutes into the game, they were beaten [-] to [-]. The psychological pressure was so great that the players' physical energy consumption doubled.

After a bad start, or the opponent's start was too good, Phil Jackson also felt like a huge stone was weighing on his heart.

After Jordan sat down, he leaned down in front and said: "Michael, although we lost the last game, the way we played the last game was actually right. You have to try to reduce the ball-holding offense in front of the Iron Fist. There is no good Opportunity, take the ball right away.”

Jordan glanced at Phil Jackson and nodded silently.

The ball was intercepted just now, which once again made him realize the danger of attacking with the ball in front of Iron Fist.

Phil Jackson said to Pippen and others: "When you pass the ball to Michael, try to make it at the moment when he has just shaken off the iron fist.

Iron Fist is a little faster than Michael. If the pass is slow, Iron Fist will catch up with Michael again, so the timing of passing must be mastered. Don't pass the ball just for the sake of passing the ball. Pass the ball at the most appropriate time. Michael. "

These words made Jordan and Pippen have very complicated emotions.

Before the Iron Fist appeared, the ultimate goal of the triangle tactic was to create singles opportunities for Jordan. Jordan could face anyone's defense and defeat his opponent in singles.

But now, Iron Fist has changed this with his incredible stealing ability. Jordan cannot attack with the ball in front of Iron Fist.

This has a huge psychological impact on Bulls players like Pippen.

Of course, this impact has already begun for several seasons, but now as Jordan's physical condition gradually declines, the impact is getting bigger and bigger.

The decline in physical fitness will first be reflected in the reaction speed. Jordan's reaction speed continues to slow down. Facing the powerful steals of Iron Fist, Jordan's risk of holding the ball is increasing. This is why Phil Jackson has repeatedly emphasized that Jordan must Reasons to reduce offense with the ball.

For Jordan, he doesn't feel that he is getting older in front of other opponents. He is still very strong and stronger than any opponent.

But any opponent, not including Iron Fist, in front of Iron Fist, he felt that he was already old.

This feeling of getting old first made him very angry, and then disappointed and depressed.

It was precisely because of this feeling of getting old in front of Tekken that he had the idea of ​​retiring after winning this championship.

Phil Jackson repeatedly asked Jordan to reduce his offense with the ball, and even asked him not to attack with the ball in front of Iron Fist, which embarrassed him.

But for the sake of the championship, he had to obey. When the relationship with Phil Jackson deteriorated, this situation also made him very aggrieved.

"How could I possibly lose to him?"

Anger, unwillingness, frustration, etc., all negative emotions, under his strong willpower, were transformed into a kind of motivation, the motivation to defeat Iron Fist.

At this point the timeout ends and play resumes.

Jordan ran with all his strength, and he actually felt that he was running faster, his movements were more sensitive, and his reactions were faster.

"Is this guy going to get a shot of chicken blood?"

Zhou Quan, who was marking, felt the most obvious, because his marking was more difficult than before.

At this time, Pippen saw Michael running across the top of the key and running towards him, and Iron Fist was blocked by Harper. Hawkins hesitated and did not change defense. Michael got a small opening, and he immediately seized the opportunity. Passed the ball.

At the top of the left arc, two steps and three meters away from the top of the main arc, Jordan caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan bypassed Harper and rushed from the top of the arc. He jumped from two meters away to block the shot. He was probably only one-thirtieth of a second too late. Before his hands could reach him, the ball flew past.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Oh hoo!"

The United Center was immediately detonated by this three-pointer, and huge cheers surged like a tsunami, sweeping the entire venue.

"Beautiful! This three-pointer makes us seem to see Michael Jordan's style in the G92 game of the 1 Finals." Elgin Baylor said excitedly.

"Yes, in that game, Jordan made 6 three-pointers in the half and made 10 of 6 three-pointers in the game. But unfortunately, that record was broken by the Iron Fist King." Robertson said. "In that finals, Jordan made 2 of 4 three-pointers in the G0 game, which was very different from his performance in the G1 game. I hope today Jordan can perform as well as he did in the G1 game of that finals." Elgin Baylor laughed. .

When the SuperSonics switched offense and defense, they still focused on fast pace, but this time they were stopped by the Bulls and entered a positional battle.

"boom!"

Schrempf used Laettner's pick-and-roll screen to get a small opening on the left wing, and missed a jump shot after receiving Zhou Quan's pass.

Mutombo got the rebound, and Jordan received the ball in the backcourt, hit a chasing ball, and suddenly stopped when he reached the three-point line on the left wing.

"Another three points?"

Zhou Quan returned to defense very quickly and was still running in front of Jordan. At this time, he also stopped and turned around, but Jordan's rhythm was too fast. Before he could step up and take off to block the shot, Jordan had already completed the shot.

"brush!"

The next moment, water splashed in the basket.

"Oh hoo!"

The United Center is boiling again.

"Chasing three-pointers? Beautiful! Michael Jordan hit consecutive three-pointers, and his condition began to explode! Iron Fist failed to defend continuously, how will he respond?" Elgin Baylor shouted excitedly.

“8：8，乔丹用两个三分球追平了比分。现在他3投3中得8分。”罗伯特森兴奋地道。

"George Karl didn't call a timeout. He should have called a timeout at this time to interrupt Jordan's rhythm. Once Jordan breaks out, no one can stop him!" Zhang Lili said anxiously.

"Let's see how Zhou Quan fights." Xu Jicheng shouted.

When Jordan took action, Mutombo had just reached the top of the backcourt arc. When Zhou Quan caught the ball in the backcourt, the Bulls' defense was already in place, and the offensive and defensive battle began.

When he came to the frontcourt and approached the top of the key, Jordan began to press him and did not give him a chance to take a leisurely shot from the top of the key.

In order to save energy, he did not attack hard. Laettner pulled to the left corner and called Rodman's pick-and-roll.

Mutombo stood one step in front of the basket and did not follow up to the high post.

The next moment, Rodman stood to the right of Jordan. Zhou Quan took a step to the left due to bad luck, and then immediately shot a three-pointer.

Although Jordan was powerful, he couldn't squeeze Rodman. He took a step around to Zhou Quan's right side and was already a beat too late when he took off to block the shot.

"Can we come in?" Zhang Lili shouted.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan's touch is not inferior to Jordan's. Now he has scored five points on two of two shots." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Is this a three-pointer?" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

11:8, the Bulls attack.

Jordan repeated his old trick, running from the right wing through the top of the arc to the left wing to catch the ball, and Harper once again ran the pick-and-roll.

"Another three points?"

Elgin Baylor shouted excitedly when he saw Jordan take off the ball at the top of the left arc.

But this time, Zhou Quan took an early step and bypassed Harper, only half a step behind Jordan. When Jordan caught the ball and shot, he also jumped up.

Jordan jumped up and was about to take action when a figure suddenly broke into the corner of his right eye. He knew that Iron Fist was blocking him, so he did not take action. Instead, his body fell backward in the air, turning his jumper into a backward shot. Farewell jump shot.

However, this is a temporary change, so the range of recline is limited.

The next moment, he released the ball, and Zhou Quan's left hand also hit him.

"predict!"

There was a soft sound, and the basketball that was about to fly past was changed by the tip of Zhou Quan's left middle finger, but it still flew towards the basket.

"rebound!"

Zhou Quan and Jordan shouted at the same time.

"mine!"

Under the basket, Rodman predicted in advance that the ball was a miss, and immediately moved into position, trapping Mutombo behind him. The next moment, the basketball fell into his hands.

At this time, Zhou Quan and Jordan were both running towards the SuperSonics' frontcourt, running in tandem. Rodman pushed with both hands and the basketball flew to Zhou Quan on the left.

However, the ball was a bit high. Zhou Quan took two steps and then jumped to catch the ball. Jordan took the opportunity to block it in front.

"squeak!"

With a kick of his feet, he changed direction and thrust into Jordan. Jordan moved sideways, and their shoulders touched. Jordan was directly knocked back. Zhou Quan paused slightly, and then used his strength to rush forward.

"Zhou Quan prevailed in confrontation. This is the role of confrontation." Zhang Lili said loudly.

Jordan was half a step behind, but still tried his best to catch up.

Driven by the hope of defeating Zhou Quan, he broke into an extraordinary state. His adrenaline secretion accelerated and he ran faster than usual. He actually caught up with Zhou Quan and stuck to his left side. The little action of pulling up the jersey.

When Zhou Quan rushed to the top of the arc, his speed had already slowed down due to the strong confrontation. At this time, he suddenly connected with the ball, used force under his feet and jumped up forcefully.

Jordan expected that Zhou Quan might make a sudden stop at the top of the arc for a jump shot, but he did not expect that Zhou Quan would take off without slowing down, so he failed to take off in time to block the shot.

Zhou Quan glided forward and when he reached the highest point, he released the basketball and flew towards the basket.

"brush!"

The next moment, water splashed and the basketball fell through the hole.

"Oh!"

Warm cheers immediately erupted from the SuperSonics side.

"It's in! This is a three-pointer. It's a three-pointer. Zhou Quan completed a difficult gliding shot. He completed the shot without slowing down. This shot is so beautiful." Zhang Liang said excitedly. shouted.

"Jordan shot two three-pointers, and Zhou Quan immediately responded with two three-pointers. This is tit-for-tat!" Xu Jicheng laughed excitedly.

张合理笑着道：“现在是14：8，超音速再度领先6分。乔丹4投3中得8分，有一次失误。周权3投3中得8分，还有3助攻2抢断1封盖的数据。”

"The two of them are really competing against each other!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
