God of NBA point guards

Chapter 577 It’s more reasonable not to score.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, at 20:20, the two teams were tied, and the SuperSonics called a timeout.

张合理说道：“奥尼尔7投3中得7分，2罚1中，吃了两帽，投丢两球。科比5投2中得5分，也吃了一帽。

Rick Fox performed well, making 2 of 1 shots on Bowen's head, causing Bowen to foul once, making 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 4 points.

The SuperSonics' scoring was relatively average. Zhou Quan did not attack at full strength. He made 4 of 3 shots, a three-pointer, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.

Lewis was average today, making 3 of 0 shots and scoring no points.Maggette was okay, scoring 3 points on 2-of-4 shooting.Bowen hit an open three-pointer and Zhou Quan assisted.

Zhou Quan's assist ability is really strong now, with 9 assists in 4 minutes, which is stronger than before. Any openings created by his teammates cannot escape his sight.If Lewis is in form, it will definitely be more than a tie. "

Xu Jicheng said: "Kobe was good today, his performance was better than when he faced Zhou Quan before."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The strength has improved. He got rid of Zhou Quan in his first attack, but he was almost unlucky and missed the shot.

The second attack took a big hit.The third offense was a three-pointer after a jump ball, which was made, but the defender was not Zhou Quan.The next two attacks were played in front of Zhou Quan, and he scored one.

Among the five attacks, except for the third attack, the defender in the other four attacks was Zhou Quan. He scored two, which is really good.

His first and second offense actually used O'Neal's pick-and-roll screen to get rid of Zhou Quan's defense, but he was not very lucky, missing one shot and being blocked.

In fact, in terms of rationality, these two failed attacks were more reasonable than the next two attacks. The latter two were one-on-one challenges against Zhou Quan. He was lucky to score a goal. "

"But it's right if you can make a shot, so Zhou Quan should not be careless." Xu Jicheng said.

The morale on the Lakers bench is very good.

Phil Jackson said to Kobe: "Kobe, you played well in the first two offenses. In the next two offenses, you should continue to use the cover of your teammates to get rid of the Iron Fist King."

Kobe nodded silently and said nothing.

Phil Jackson didn't know what Kobe was thinking. He looked at Kobe for three seconds, then gave up and continued preaching.

The timeout ended and both sides replaced some substitutes.

O'Neal sat on the bench and did not get up. Under the SuperSonics' fast-paced offensive and defensive tactics, his physical energy consumption was still very high.

The Lakers were without O'Neal, and were paired inside with Robert Horry and backup forward Mark Madson.

On the outside are Brian Shaw and Tyronn Lue, as well as Kobe.

The SuperSonics are paired with Ewing and Campbell on the inside, and Desmond Mason, Shammond Williams, and Zhou Quan on the outside.

"Comparing the bench lineup, whether inside or outside, the Sonics completely beat the Lakers." As a Lakers legend, James Worthy sighed.

What he said was correct. The Sonics launched a 3-9 offensive wave in 2 minutes and already led by 7 points after the first quarter.

Ewing made 2 of 1 shots, and Mason and Williams each scored a goal in the fast break.

Zhou Quan scored 1 points on 1-of-3 shooting, a three-pointer, stole Kobe Bryant once more, and assisted Williams on a fast break during the counterattack.

詹姆斯沃西说道：“科比3分钟之内3投1中，首节8投3中得7分，37.5%的命中率，远低于次轮打马刺的时候。

His first two attacks were all based on O'Neal's cover, and the next five attacks were all one-on-one with the Iron Fist King, without any use of pick-and-rolls. "

John Moore laughed: "I scored 5 goals in the next 2 attacks, but I didn't score in the first two pick-and-rolls, haha!"

James Worthy was startled and smiled bitterly.

In front of the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson looked at Kobe and said patiently: "Kobe, don't be disappointed because you didn't score after borrowing pick-and-rolls in the first two offenses. That was just bad luck. Then playing is the right thing. I hope you Can understand that.”

Kobe nodded and just wiped his sweat and panted without saying a word.

Phil Jackson has a headache, why don't you say something?He nodded his head, and he still challenged the Iron Fist King one-on-one on the court.

He felt that coaching Kobe was ten times more difficult than coaching Jordan.

"How much chance do you think the Lakers have of winning?" Jordan asked not far away.

"Based on this substitute lineup, the Lakers..." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said here and shook his head helplessly.

Magic Johnson smiled bitterly and said: "The Iron Fist King is not attacking at full strength yet, and Rashard Lewis is not in shape yet."

Elgin Baylor said: "The Sharks were not too excited in the first quarter. Ben Wallace's defense played really well today."

George McCann didn't say much. He said at this time: "The Lakers' game against the SuperSonics should be the opposite of the Spurs game. O'Neal will be the main attacker and Kobe will be the assist. But after O'Neal was blown away by that ball, there was no enthusiasm for the offense."

"George, you don't like the Lakers either?" Magic Johnson asked.

George McCann said: "The substitute lineup is not as good as the SuperSonics. The Lakers' main force has to fill the holes for the substitutes. So unless O'Neal plays a more efficient offense than the Iron Fist King and scores at least 40+, Kobe and Fox still have to play good offense. The Lakers Talent can hopefully win.

O'Neal still has a chance, after all, he has a huge advantage over Ben Wallace.But the King of Iron Fist defends Kobe and Bowen defends Fox. Their chances of playing a good offense are very small. "

"That's too difficult! Even if we can win one game, we can't win the entire series. The Iron Fist's stable performance is the ballast of the SuperSonics. It's useless for the Lakers to win a game occasionally." Jordan shook his head.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides still used the last substitute lineup in the first quarter, but the SuperSonics replaced Ewing and replaced Kevin Willis. The Lakers had no one to replace, and the lineup was not as thick as the SuperSonics.

After playing for 2 minutes, Zhou Quan defended Kobe and missed two shots. The SuperSonics led by 10 points and the Lakers replaced O'Neal.

O'Neal came on and attacked with all his strength. Campbell and Willis couldn't stop them together. He was dunked and punished. He hit two two-plus-ones. All three attacks were successful and he scored 7 points in a row.

The SuperSonics actually played well here, making two mid-range shots and still leading by 7 points.

"Remember, Ben, don't let O'Neal get close to the basket, forcing him to shoot outside or pass out." Westphal quickly replaced Willis and took over Ben.

Big Ben and Campbell, two big meat shields, sat inside and immediately stabilized their position. O'Neal failed to get close to the basket in his fourth attack and failed to make a hook shot in the past two points.

Ben grabbed the rebound, and the Sonics took the opportunity to counterattack. Zhou Quan dunked successfully, widening the point difference to 9 points.

O'Neal stopped after four consecutive attacks, and Kobe took over. "Kobe..."

Phil Jackson yelled, raising his right hand and pointing at his head.

Zhou Quan kindly reminded: "Kobe, he means to tell you that you have to use your head to play with an iron head. If you don't have an iron head, you can't hit the ball. Understand, he asked you to continue to challenge me."

Kobe gritted his teeth and ignored Zhou Quan's trash talk. He called O'Neal's pick-and-roll.

O'Neal was still very cooperative, running up from the low post on the left wing to provide a pick-and-roll for Kobe.

With his shooting, the pick-and-roll effect is definitely not good. After being separated, he can only move forward and cannot open up the defense. Anyone who breaks through with the ball can easily be double-teamed.

But with his physique, the wall effect was very good, so Kobe successfully used his screen to temporarily get rid of Zhou Quan.

But Ben changed defense very quickly and kept up with Kobe, and Zhou Quan also caught up later.

Kobe did not choose to stop for a jumper. When he reached the left elbow area in two steps, Ben was stuck to his left side. A confrontation occurred. His speed slowed down and the pressure from behind also increased. He knew that the Iron Fist King was behind him. , but then he saw the vacancy of his teammates.

Big Ben followed, and Campbell could only leave Horry behind to defend the basket. Horry was empty in the right bottom corner.

"Whoosh!"

Kobe made a jump pass and the ball flew straight to Horry.

Horry caught the ball and immediately shot a jump shot without any hesitation, without giving Campbell and Corey Maggette any chance to return to defense.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Oh, Horry's usual shooting is average and his efficiency is not very good. He dares to take action at critical moments!" Zhang Lili exclaimed.

"Bah bang bang..." Phil Jackson clapped happily.

"Ben, O'Neal didn't make a mid-range shot. You don't have to follow him completely. Just stay in the paint and let Kobe go in." Zhou Quan said to Ben Wallace.

"Yes, boss." Daben nodded quickly.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan responded with a three-pointer. When he held the ball to the top of the arc, he faked a shot and shook Kobe before shooting and hitting a goal.

On the left wing, Kobe called O'Neal's pick-and-roll again.

This time Ben followed the left midfielder and stopped coming out. He still sat in the paint area. Campbell followed Horry and guarded the right blocking area.

Zhou Quan also adopted a more active defense, forcing Kobe to move before O'Neal's pick-and-roll came, making O'Neal's trip in vain.

Time was running out, so Kobe could only force the shot.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan had quick hands and quick eyes, and made his second steal of the game. He knocked the ball away when Kobe took the ball away from the ball, and then grabbed it in his hands.

The counterattack began. Zhou Quan led Kobe to the right-wing three-point line. He slowed down slightly, and when Kobe stopped suddenly, he accelerated and stepped past Kobe. It was very easy.

When reaching the right waist position, Brian Shaw rushed down from the free throw line, but Zhou Quan had no scruples, put his left elbow outside, and flew directly up.

The Lakers have no one available. Although Brian Shaw plays the third position, he is actually a shooting guard. He is 198 centimeters tall and weighs only 86 kilograms. When he saw the Iron Fist King flying up, his big elbow was facing him, how could he dare? Rushing down to seek death, a sudden brake came on.

"boom!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan dunked with a tomahawk style dunk.

"Beautiful! Now we are 11 points ahead." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Phil Jackson called a timeout. It is estimated that all the main players will have to be replaced." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the Lakers replaced Rick Fox and Fisher, and Robert Horry remained on the court.

The SuperSonics also became the main starter, but Lewis did not come up, and Campbell still played the fourth position.

Westphal didn't dare to be careless. Lewis's mental quality was average and his performance in the first quarter was not good, so he didn't dare to use it.

O'Neal started to attack again, but the SuperSonics used double-teaming and human shield tactics. They just carried him to death. Even if he was knocked away, they would not let him get close to the basket. His offensive efficiency dropped significantly. In that time, he made 3 of 1 shots, 4 of 2 free throws, and made one turnover.

On the outside, Zhou Quan and Bowen teamed up to limit the Lakers' outside offense.

After the second quarter, 41:56, the Lakers were 15 points behind.

"The meat shield tactic is still working. If O'Neal continues to play with this efficiency, the Lakers will have no chance of coming back." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Instructor Zhang, O'Neal made 6 of 4 shots in the second quarter, 6 of 3 free throws, and scored 11 points. In fact, his efficiency was not low. He made 13 of 7 shots in the half, with a shooting percentage of 53.9%, and 8 of 4 free throws, for a total of 18 points. His performance was not bad. Okay." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "It depends on who his opponent is. I mean the SuperSonics defended him like they did in the last few minutes of the second quarter. The three offenses he just played in the second quarter were indeed very fierce. The three offenses Score 7 points.”

徐计成点头道：“周权半场11投8中，三分球不错，3投2中，6罚5中，得到23分3篮板9助攻2抢断2盖帽1失误1犯规，进攻效率是真高，命中率72.7%，还有助攻也爆表了。”

Zhang Lijia said with a smile: "Kobe still can't guard him. But it's not surprising. Jordan's defense is better than Kobe's, but he can't guard him either.

Kobe has lost weight and is a little faster than when he was 100 kilograms, but Zhou Quan is still faster.The most difficult thing about defending Zhou Quan is that he is really the best in sudden shooting and passing. It is difficult to defend against double teams, let alone single defense? "

Xu Jicheng said: "Kobe made 13 of 4 shots, with a shooting percentage of 30.8%. He had one three-pointer, plus 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 10 points. He didn't take many shots, but under Zhou Quan's defense, his efficiency was still the same. not tall.

His main offensive method is mid-range shooting. It's not that he doesn't break through to score, but the Sonics have power outside and big money inside. Even if they use the pick-and-roll to break in, the efficiency is not high.In the mid-range shot, his pull-up jump shot is not stable, and his shooting rate is average.

But no matter what, his performance now is improved compared to last year's Western Conference Finals. This cannot be denied. "
