God of NBA point guards

Chapter 561 Pumpkin Head

Just do what you think of. At this time, Zhou Quan retreated to the backcourt and Bibby also crossed the center line.

He suddenly looked to the right and turned around so much that Bibby almost completely disappeared from his sight, as if he was observing the situation behind him.

"Good opportunity, rush over."

After Bibby saw Zhou Quan's movements, he reacted very quickly and immediately prepared to accelerate from the left side of the Iron Fist King and rush from his right side.

In the next moment, his right foot accelerated forward to the right, and his right hand that controlled the ball also moved the ball forward.

But none of his movements could escape the lock of Zhou Quan's full-level precognitive vision.

The moment his right foot just stepped forward and his right hand dribbled forward, Zhou Quan also moved.

"squeak!"

Zhou Quan moved instantly. First, he moved his right foot diagonally from the back of his left foot to the rear left side, and then moved his left heel diagonally one step to the rear left side. The steps were very fast.

"what?"

Mike Bibby took a step forward with his right foot. As soon as he landed, he noticed that the King of Iron Fist was in front of him again.

"not good!"

He suddenly realized that his ball was not behind him at this time, but was transported to the front, completely exposed in front of the Iron Fist King.

"Snapped!"

Just when Mike Bibby reacted, Zhou Quan had already swept past him and took away his ball along the way.

"Wow, this steal is so amazing!" Xu Jicheng exclaimed.

"With pre-judgment movement, Zhou Quan predicted the opponent's breakthrough. His lateral move just now was last-come-first-come! The push blocked the opponent's breakthrough, and the final steal was a natural result. That move was the completion The key to stealing." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"boom!"

"Oh hoo!"

Zhou Quan made a flying dunk, which immediately made the entire stadium burst into cheers. Almost all the home team fans cheered and applauded him.

"feasible."

Zhou Quan was a little happy, deliberately not looking at the ball holder, and luring the opponent into action. As long as the opponent moved, a flaw would be revealed, and the opponent's ball would be exposed.

This is a tactic to lure the enemy. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. When the enemy moves, I will move first. The last move will be the first to arrive.

Predicting the enemy's opportunity and even making the opponent obey one's command is the highest level of a military strategist. The instructor reached this highest level during the battle of crossing the Chishui River four times.

His current physical fitness, skills, and even experience have reached a state where there is no way to improve, and his strength can no longer be improved. He can only start from these aspects in the hope of making some improvements.

However, it is best not to use this kind of defense too much in the regular season, otherwise after scaring the opponent, it may be useless in the playoffs.

Next, he didn't use this kind of defense again. Even if he passed the ball without looking at people, he didn't use it much. He did it occasionally, just like a flash of inspiration.

In this game, he also clocked in for three quarters, scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the three quarters. His shooting percentage was as high as 62.5%. He made 7 of 3 three-pointers and his shooting percentage was as high as 42.9%.

迈克毕比在他的面前15投仅2中，失误高达7次，仅得5分2助攻。

A total of five SuperSonics players scored in double figures. In addition to him, there are Patterson and Campbell, as well as Rashard Lewis and Corey Maggette on the bench.

In this game, Ewing and Mullin played 5 minutes each, but neither scored. They didn't have much playing time. There was no way. There were many young players and there was no more time for them.

Zhou Quan observed Ewing's status. He rarely entered the basket in the past five minutes. His offensive and defensive status was average and not very active. His rebounds were okay and he grabbed two. Anyway, he could still be used as a substitute.

As for Chris Mullin, he is not as good as Ewing and is of no use. He came to the SuperSonics really just to get a championship ring.

Easily defeating the Grizzlies, the SuperSonics rushed back to Seattle overnight.

"Iron Fist King, Bowen has some problems with his feet. He needs to take a truce. I want to give Mason a try and give him a starting start. What do you think?"

On the evening of the 1st, Paul Westphal approached Zhou Quan and asked.

"Desmond High Mason? I have no problem with that."

This year's No. 17 pick in the first round, a lottery pick acquired by the SuperSonics in 99, has a good attitude in training these days, and Zhou Quan has no objection.

However, this young man's skills were not good and he was not very optimistic about it.

Paul Westphal added: "Zhou, I also want to give other young people more opportunities to start. We have no problem at all in the regular season. What do you think?"

"This is the best thing to do. We should give young people opportunities, Paul, I support you." Zhou Quan nodded.

Two hours later, the SuperSonics faced the Nuggets at home and defeated their opponents, winning their second consecutive victory.

梅森首发打了29分钟，周权给了不少机会，甚至给了他持球进攻的机会，7投2中，三分球2投0中，2罚2中，6分5篮板2助攻1抢断1失误2犯规的表现。

He has strong physical fitness, full of impact, and likes to go for dunks. As an outside player, his skills are not good, his shooting is bad, and his three-point shooting is too bad. He is a person who uses his talent to play with his body, rather than relying on his skills. A typical dunk Will.

Such people have a limited upper limit. Once their physical fitness declines or injuries occur, their condition will plummet immediately because they have no skills.

Just one point, no shooting and three-pointers, caused Mason to lose his main position next to Zhou Quan and could only play a dozen substitutes.

On the 4th, the SuperSonics defeated the Trail Blazers at home and won three consecutive games.

The Lakers also played three games, losing to the Jazz in the second game, and had two wins and one loss in the first three games.

The Spurs have won three out of three games, and the Jazz have won three out of three, ranking first in the Western Conference with the SuperSonics.

Zhou Quan paid more attention to the performance of Kobe and Duncan and specially found videos of their games.

Kobe gained 100 kilograms and became stronger. In these three games, he showed better confrontation ability and skills than last season, especially difficult skills such as fadeaway jumpers and turnaround fadeaway jumpers, which are smoother to use. .

But in general, in Zhou Quan's eyes, Kobe's skills have not yet reached the level of Dacheng. They still need time to grow and have not reached their peak.

He has some regrets. O'Neal in the OK combination has already entered his peak period, but Kobe's age has missed O'Neal's peak period. This combination is destined to have limited achievements when they encounter him.

If they were all in their prime, only such an OK combination would have the chance to pose a great threat to him, but now they should be a little behind.As for Tim Duncan, after he was seriously injured, in these three games, we rarely saw the flying and escaping style of play, and turned into a floor flow.

But the skills are really good, and the nickname of the basic skills is correct. You can't jump anymore. Use skills to play. Tim Duncan is still Tim Duncan.

This kind of person is the rarest, and his value is much higher than that of someone who relies on his body to play basketball. His peak period will not be short, and he deserves attention.

It is a pity that, like the OK combination, David Robinson is old, and the Spurs twin towers are destined not to play together for long.

On the 5th, the league announced the best player of the first week, and he actually played a double-yolked egg, giving the Jazz a black and white evil.

The Jazz have won their first three games and are tied for first in the Western Conference, with Karl Malone averaging 31.7 points and 9 rebounds per game, and John Stockton averaging 15.3 points, 12.3 assists and 3 steals per game.

At the same time, the league announced the first MVP ranking. The SuperSonics won three games in three games. Zhou Quan ranked first with averages of 31 points, 13.3 assists, 2.7 steals and 2 blocks per game.

On the 6th, the SuperSonics challenged the Magic on the road.

In this game, Westphal took away Campbell's starting position and let Rashard Lewis start.

Bowen's foot healed, but he still came off the bench, with Corey Maggette taking over as the starter at the third position.

This made the two very excited and vowed to play this game well and strive to gain a starting position.

The Magic brought in McGrady and Grant Hill, and now McGrady has become the boss of this team. Previously, the Magic had two wins and two losses. McGrady missed one game due to injury. In three games, he averaged 21.3 points and shot 43.4% from the field.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Rashard Lewis, Corey Maggette, Ruben Patterson, Zhou Quan.

Magic: John Amici, Mike Miller, Don Reed, Tracy McGrady, Darrell Armstrong.

Zhang Liyi used one sentence to describe the Magic's lineup: "Except for Tracy McGrady and Mike Miller, who are barely okay, the rest are just scraps. Apart from being a trading partner, they have almost no trading value."

For such a team, Zhou Quan has no desire to attack at all.

At the beginning of the game, Ben Wallace knocked the ball away from Amici's head with a height of 208 centimeters, and the SuperSonics attacked.

Zhou Quan holds the ball, and McGrady, the Magic's best perimeter defender, has no intention of guarding him. Darrell Armstrong bites the bullet and guards him.

Xu Jicheng introduced the player information and said: "Darrell Armstrong is an undrafted player. His shoe height is 183 centimeters and 77 kilograms. This is his 7th season. He has already made his mark and now has an annual salary of 300 million.

He has won the honors of Most Improved Player and Best Sixth Man respectively. He is now averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He is the second scoring point of the Magic. It is very good, but the shooting rate is low. A little bit higher, only 41.2%. "

Weighing 20 kilograms, Zhou Quan is almost as big as two Armstrongs. If he touches his opponent, he will be knocked away easily.

Against such an opponent, he has no desire to attack, but makes tactical gestures to let his teammates move.

Power forward Lewis suddenly ran from the penalty area to the left wing, and small forward Corey Maggette also suddenly ran from the left three-point line to the basket. When the two crossed each other, they set up a pick-and-roll, and Maggette blocked Mike Miller. And Lewis ran to the left wing at [-] degrees from the three-point line and got an open space.

"Whoosh!"

Before Lewis reached the three-point line, Zhou Quan's ball had already passed. After receiving the ball, Lewis took a step past the three-pointer, then turned around and shot a three-pointer.

Mike Miller hurriedly took off symbolically from two meters away to block the shot without even touching a hair.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Rashad Lewis, the open three-pointer is very accurate." Xu Jicheng praised.

"It's a pity that the defense is a bit worse." Zhang Lili added.

Magic offense.

Zhou Quan did not guard the point guard and followed McGrady.

Seeing the Iron Fist King following him, McGrady's heart tightened. He was no longer afraid of tigers as a newborn. This was his fourth season. He knew how powerful the Iron Fist King's defense was.

However, a strong sense of excitement arose in his heart. If he could perform a beautiful attack under the defense of the Iron Fist King, he would definitely become famous, and even catch up with his cousin Vince Carter who stole the show in the Olympics. .

You know, he knows very well that after Vince Carter completed the death dunk, he has made a lot of money. He has made tens of millions of dollars in business income in one summer.

Nowadays, among the so-called four shooting guards, Iverson is the most famous, followed by his cousin Carter, and then Kobe, who ranks last.

"I can't lose to them."

In this strong mentality, he reached out to point guard Armstrong.

Armstrong passed the ball over. In Zhou Quan's eyes, the passing action was full of flaws. It was not sudden at all. Even the passing route did not go back, which was very conducive to his steal.As long as he starts to grab the ball at the moment of passing the ball, he will have a chance to complete the steal.

But he didn't steal it, but wanted to see McGrady's current strength.

After he and Jordan retired, the league began to promote the four major shooting guards, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than that.

Among the four major players, McGrady has the best physical condition and the best both static and dynamic talents. Moreover, he started out as a defender in the Raptors and is excellent both offensively and defensively. His current strength is by no means weaker than Kobe. The Bulls once wanted to If you want him, think of him as the second Pippen.

"Snapped!"

McGrady blocked Zhou Quan with his left elbow, caught the ball with one hand with his right hand, then adjusted his body, grabbed the ball with his right hand and swept it backwards to prevent Zhou Quan from stabbing the ball.

Far away in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant was watching the game. He was very envious when he saw Tracy McGrady's cool move, because his hands were small and he could barely catch the ball with one hand, but he couldn't make any big moves and the range of his movements was slightly small. If you go big, you are likely to lose the ball.

And this weakness will greatly restrict his offense when facing the King of Iron Fist's defense on the offensive end.

"Vince said your nickname is Pumpkin Head?" Zhou Quan said suddenly.

"..."

McGrady's eyes instantly dilated, bastard McGrady, why are you saying this in front of the Iron Fist King?
This was the nickname given to him by his aunt when he was a child, because growing up, his hairstyle was a pumpkin head.

If you steal at this time, the success rate should not be too high, but Zhou Quan is still too lazy to steal. He just wants to see McGrady's offense now.

"Come on, let me see your offense." Zhou Quan said.
