God of NBA point guards

Chapter 538 Invincible Dominance
When Zhou Quan saw Campbell picking up the ball and retreating to the baseline, he suddenly entered the frontcourt from the center circle and made a diagonal pass to the left wing, getting rid of Kobe. At this time, Campbell threw the ball over. When he caught the ball, Kobe had already re-entered the court. Followed him.

At this time, the two positions were at the front of the two teams. Barry Jr. and Ron Harper were on the right wing, in similar positions to them, while the rest of the two teams were running at full strength.

"Oh!"

While dribbling, Zhou Quan swung left and right very quickly, and then rushed over from the right.

Kobe knew that Zhou Quan would probably make a fake move, but his body's instinct shook his center of gravity, causing him to be surprised. This was something he knew, but it couldn't be used without long-term training. use.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan made a flying dunk and scored his second goal tonight.

"Damn, I forgot."

Kobe gritted his teeth, wishing he could give himself a slap, because when the Iron Fist King was about to attack him just now, he should have directly gone up to press him, clinging to Iron Fist's body every second, interrupting the opponent's breakthrough rhythm.

4:3, the Lakers attack.

O'Neal exhausted his energy to get to the position under the basket, but Ron Harper failed to pass the ball in time, so he had to come out and regain his position in the low post on the left wing.

Harper passed to Kobe on the left, and Kobe passed to O'Neal in the low post, then immediately bypassed Zhou Quan and cut into the paint.

O'Neal immediately began to rely on the ball after receiving the ball. Ben Wallace was knocked back a step. At this time, Kobe cut inside to the left waist, and Zhou Quan fell half a step behind Kobe's left side.

While O'Neal took a step upward, he threw the ball in front of Kobe with his backhand.

"Oh!"

Zhou Quan bumped into O'Neal, and Kobe caught the ball and rushed in.

Ben Wallace quickly moved sideways to the basket, but Kobe had already quickly stepped forward, pressed forward with his left hand, and dunked with the ball in his right hand.

"boom!"

Ben Wallace jumped to block the shot, his shoulder was pressed, and then he was dunked by Kobe.

"Clap clap clap..."

Staples Center erupted in applause.

Phil Jackson also kept applauding. This is the triangle offense he wants to play. The combination of Shark's low attack and Peter Pan's assault power can produce a chemical reaction.

If Kobe's strength goes further and the OK combination has the ability to attract double teams, he believes that this combination will be invincible.

However, he is also very clear-headed, because in Jordan's peak period, the Iron Fist King also defended alone and never used double teams in perimeter defense.

Therefore, even if the OK combination becomes invincible one day, it will not be truly invincible, because the King of Iron Fist can still double-team O'Neal when defending Kobe alone, and Kobe still has to pass the level of King of Iron Fist.

Seeing this offense, Jordan also applauded.

He felt a little emotional in his heart. If he had a dominant center like O'Neal when he was with the Bulls, ten consecutive championships would be possible.

"what!"

After scoring this goal, Kobe was very excited, pumping his fists and roaring, and at the same time looking for Zhou Quan with his eyes.

"not good!"

As soon as he looked for it, he saw that Supersonic One had already reached the top of the left arc and was about to descend. He hurriedly chased after it.

"Get back on defense!"

Phil Jackson yelled, pointing to the Sonics' frontcourt.

Ben Wallace picked up the ball and retreated to the baseline to serve quickly. O'Neal prepared to block it, but was too late and the ball was passed out.

At the top of the arc, Barry was also rushing down, and Ron Harper retreated in time.

At this time, Zhou Quan received a pass from Ben and was two meters behind Harper.

Harper didn't dare to throw the ball away, and Kobe was several meters away from Zhou Quan, so he was unmarked when he was about to go down, chasing Harper's butt and hitting him.

He held the ball over the top of the right arc, crossed the free throw line in two steps, and flew up to meet Harper who had just run to the basket.Where Harper dared to stay under the basket, he could only rush out of the baseline.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan flew and dunked, and the Lakers' basket was exploded.

"Zhou Quan chased and hit one. This is the SuperSonics' fast-paced offense and defense, which does not give you a chance to breathe. Paul Westphal did a good job of retaining the tactics of the George Karl era." Zhang Li said with a smile.

6:5, the Lakers attack.

O'Neal once again entered the paint area and stood two meters to the left of the basket, outside the reasonable collision area.

Instead of relying on his tonnage and strength, he took a more labor-saving approach and used his agility to mobilize Ben Wallace while moving and go deep into the penalty area to gain important positions.

In this position, Ben Wallace's own height disadvantage is magnified, because he cannot go forward and can only defend. When O'Neal gets close to the basket, his top defense has almost no effect, and he is completely blocked in height. Crushed.

On the left wing, Kobe pushed Zhou Quan away with his left elbow, caught the ball with his right hand, and then threw it towards the basket.

O'Neal rose into the air like a giant beast, and the double team was already around him, but he ignored Campbell and Ben Wallace, forced his way sideways to squeeze them away, and then rose up.

The two double-teamers tried very hard to jump to block the shot, but as soon as they made contact with O'Neal's huge body in the air, they were knocked away.

"boom!"

As the basket was sunk, the SuperSonics' penalty area was overturned.

Ben Wallace and Campbell were knocked back and staggered. Campbell didn't even stand firm and sat down on the floor.

"Good guy!"

Zhou Quan really admires O'Neal's dominance at the basket. He is as invincible as he is on the outside.

"Oh oh oh……"

At the Staples Center, the atmosphere at home has become heated. People in Los Angeles now like to watch O'Neal's super dunks under the basket, which makes them excited.

"When the energy is high, the Sharks are invincible." Bill Walton shook his head in the ESPN commentary box.

"When you are not physically fit enough, you are just a weakling." Ranbir mocked.

"Clap clap clap..."

Overwhelmed with excitement, O'Neal patted his chest. Ben Wallace was not worthy of his provocation. His chin pointed at Zhou Quan again.

Zhou Quan had no time to respond to O'Neal's provocation, because another round of fast break had already begun, and he did not see O'Neal's movements at all.

Ben Wallace did not pull Campbell, but according to the tactical requirements, he immediately picked up the ball and retreated to the baseline, executing a quick serve.

Fortunately, AC Green stepped in front of him in time, preventing his quick serve and giving O'Neal a chance to return to defense.

When Kobe was returning to defense, he was pulling and pulling on Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan saw that he had no chance to break quickly, so he immediately came back to catch the ball, and then steadily advanced to the frontcourt.

As soon as he took two steps past the center line, Kobe pounced on him and began to press him. The pressing movement was as big as a mad dog, without any concern for the referee who was right next to him.

Zhou Quan was not polite. He put his left elbow in front of him and pushed Kobe away. Then he just crushed Kobe and pushed forward.The referee didn't say anything. According to the instructions above, as long as no heads are broken and no blood is seen in this round of the Western Conference Finals, don't blow the whistle.

"In the international arena, this kind of defense should blow the whistle. There are too many hand movements, and even the elbows are moving." Zhang Liji said.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball is like a tank. It is too strong. Kobe looks very frustrated."

Zhang Lili said: "In terms of strength, Zhou Quan definitely beats Kobe. But is Kobe prepared to press in half the court? Can he physically endure the whole game? According to his age, his physical fitness has not yet reached its peak!"

Kobe was crushed back by Zhou Quan, and he swore in his heart that he would gain weight in the future, and he would gain enough weight that Zhou Quan could not hold him up.

Zhou Quan approached the top of the arc, dribbled the ball from the right side, stopped suddenly and pulled it back, then took another step and pulled it back again.

"not good!"

Kobe continued to move passively, unable to keep up with the rhythm with his feet. He couldn't control his center of gravity in the first half and fell to the floor.

Zhou Quan glanced at Kobe with a smile, and then shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Oh!"

Kobe punched the floor and looked at Zhou Quan angrily.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan knocked down Kobe with consecutive fake breakthroughs and hit an open three-pointer. Now the SuperSonics have completed their first four offenses, and the Lakers have completed all their first three offenses, but they failed to defend this time." Xu Jicheng was excited. typical.

"Even with Jordan's guidance, Kobe is still too young in front of Zhou Quan. If Kobe wants to compete with Zhou Quan, I think he will have to practice for another two or three years, and he will not have that strength until he truly reaches his peak." Zhang Reasonable smiled.

"I scored 9 points on all four shots in the opening week. It's now 9:7. The Lakers are attacking. Let's see if it's O'Neal or Kobe. It should be Kobe. O'Neal just hit a hard one under the basket. He needs to take a breather. Fight." Xu Jicheng said.

Xu Jicheng was right. O'Neal moved in the low post on the left wing without trying to enter the penalty area. Kobe received the ball on the left wing and started to play singles.

However, with his current offensive skills and experience, Zhou Quan's defense gives him a headache.

Suddenly, his first step was not fast enough and he couldn't break through. He suffered in the first two games.

In terms of shooting, Zhou Quan's blocking and stealing abilities are so good that he is a little constrained.

Pass, as a shooting guard, he always thinks about passing the ball for others to hit, but he doesn't dare to take action in front of the Iron Fist King. He feels very ashamed.

"Kobe, I only use [-]% of my defense. I don't even have to press you." Zhou Quan's trash talk made Kobe even more angry.

On the right wing, Glenn Rice saw that Kobe was having some difficulty, so he quickly bypassed Bowen and cut inside.

Bowen always had one hand on Rice's body. That hand was like a sensor, allowing him to keep up with the opponent's rhythm. It stuck to Rice's body like a piece of brown candy. Sometimes it would be thrown away. Will try my best to keep up.

But this time, he was thrown away by Rice because AC Gerby made a pick-and-roll screen. After bypassing Green, he had already fallen two steps behind.

When Green cut into the paint from the right waist, Kobe saw it. He wanted to pass it in, but he couldn't because Zhou Quan was positioned in the middle, blocking his right hand and also blocking his angle to the paint.

Glenn Rice passed through the paint area and ran to the left wing. When he ran to the left corner, he asked Kobe for the ball. Kobe passed the ball at this time.

"Glen Rice's off-the-ball movement is very active!" Bill Walton praised.

When Zhou Quan heard the dense footsteps below, he knew someone was running towards the left corner. He immediately increased his concentration, anticipating that Kobe might pass the ball to the left corner, and quietly moved his feet laterally towards the left sideline for a small amount. step.

The next moment, when Kobe passed the ball, he reacted defensively as quickly as possible.

"Snapped!"

His right foot quickly moved sideways, and his right hand instantly moved to the right. With a precise strike, he successfully completed a steal.

"Bastard!"

Kobe's eyes were splitting, and he moved a step sideways to block Zhou Quan. While preventing Zhou Quan's fast break, he also wanted to counterattack on the spot.

"But what's the use? Kobe didn't pass it to him." Laimbeer said, taking up Bill Walton's words.

"Haha..." Bill Walton laughed.

Zhou Quan stabilized the rhythm and did not force fast breaks.

The first few attacks were fast breaks, so he also needed to take a rest. Physical distribution is very important to avoid excessive waste of physical energy. At the same time, he must also pay attention to the physical consumption of his teammates. He cannot have the best physical fitness and just follow his own rhythm. That way He separated himself from the whole team.

Two steps past the center line, there was still some distance from the top of the arc. Like before, Kobe started to press again, preventing Zhou Quan from getting close to the top of the arc smoothly.

This time Zhou Quan didn't force himself to take it, and there was no need to consume so much physical energy. He had too many breakthrough skills to break through Kobe.

He pushed his left elbow against Kobe to prevent him from getting close to his body, and then began to lunge to the right. When Kobe caught up, he suddenly braked and his body paused slightly.

"Don't try to knock me down again."

Kobe gritted his teeth, controlled his center of gravity, and stopped.

But in the next moment, his feet exerted force, and Zhou Quan burst forward from the right side in one step.

Kobe is a passive defender, and his rhythm is always following the offensive team. He will naturally be half a beat slower, get caught again, and when he catches up again, he is already behind.

When Zhou Quan reached the top of the arc, he saw O'Neal and AC Green shrinking under the basket. He immediately stopped at the top of the arc and took off with the ball.

Jordan said that the Lakers have a giant like O'Neal. When O'Neal is at the basket, Iron Fist usually doesn't hit the basket hard, but mostly makes emergency stop jump shots. Therefore, Kobe's defensive attention is mainly focused on guarding Zhou Quan's rush. Stop the jump shot.

After Zhou Quan took off, he also jumped up from a step behind, trying to give Zhou Quan an iron-blooded back hat.

"what!"

But at the moment when he took off, he saw Zhou Quan, who was getting up in front of him, fell down again. At this moment, he knew that he had been fooled again, and he couldn't help but yelled out with anger and hatred.

Zhou Quan knew that Kobe was behind him, so of course he would defend himself, so he used a fake to get up and shake Kobe away. Then, after Kobe flew over from the left, he calmly got up a second time and shot a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"An open three-pointer...beautiful! Zhou Quan made five of five shots and scored 12 points." Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"I feel that Zhou Quan's performance in the series is more stable than before he retired. He plays more easily and can play how he wants. He has stronger control over the game and gives me a sense of ease. Feeling." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"That is, in the series, not only was there no bad state, but everything was very good, every game was good." Xu Jicheng nodded hurriedly.

"12:7, the Lakers are 5 points behind. The Lakers failed to defend against the Sonics' attack once, and the SuperSonics defended the Lakers once, and now the point difference is out." Zhang Liang said.

"The Lakers' scores are all O'Neal's scores, and no one else has scored yet. The same goes for the SuperSonics, all of them are Zhou Quan's scores." Xu Jicheng said.

"The cores of both sides want to take advantage at the beginning and improve their morale. Next, they also need to control the distribution of physical energy. Others will probably start to attack. It is impossible for one person to conquer the world, and he will be exhausted." Zhang Liyi said.

"Coach Zhang, didn't Chamberlain score 100 points in a single game back then?" Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lili laughed and then said: "He did have incredible physical fitness. Unfortunately, he suffered a heart attack and passed away last year. He was not very old."
