God of NBA point guards

Chapter 107 No blood, no foul
At 08:30, the game officially started.

Ewing and John Selley jump the ball and the Knicks attack.

Zhou Quan's single defense has been raised to level 95. If level 90 is top-notch, then level 95 is already close to or reached the top level.

Facing Mark Jackson's advance with the ball, he bent down and stared at the opponent's eyes with sharp and fierce eyes. His whole body immediately revealed an extremely fierce aura, like a tiger blocking the way.

Mark Jackson instantly felt Zhou Quan's ferocious aura, and the huge pressure permeated from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

"Back?"

The tempering of this season has made his back-up skills mature. Although he couldn't beat Zhou Quan in back-up in the five regular season games, he still wants to try again, otherwise there is no other better way to deal with this rookie. .

But he still has a hole card, that is, he has gained three kilograms, and the current tonnage is 85 kilograms, and his strength and confrontation ability are stronger.

Moreover, the rumors of Zhou Quan's weight loss have been confirmed. Some media said that the rookie's current weight should be between 91 and 92 kilograms.

If it is true, then Zhou Quan's strength will definitely be weakened, the power gap between him and Zhou Quan will be narrowed, and the success rate of back hitting will be higher.

And obviously, Zhou Quan's upper body muscles are indeed not as thick as before, and the rumors of weight loss should be true.

In addition, he is three centimeters shorter than Zhou Quan, and his frame is not as strong as the opponent's, and his muscle content is higher, which will further narrow the strength gap between him and Zhou Quan.

"Boom bang..."

He pulled to the left wing, dribbled and turned around, ready to hit back and use his big ass to deal with Zhou Quan.

"how is this possible?"

After only two arches, he was shocked, because the result of the back blow was almost the same as before, and he still couldn't arch.

Zhou Quan cracked his lips and smiled. His upper body strength has weakened a bit, but his lower body strength and core strength have strengthened, and his lower body has become more stable, which has also strengthened his ability to defend against.

But he told himself not to be careless, because Mark Jackson had obviously gained weight, and his resistance and strength had been strengthened, which was specially designed to deal with him.

"Whoosh!"

He couldn't hit the opponent with his back, and Mark Jackson didn't entangle Zhou Quan too much, and passed the ball decisively to Ewing, who was in the low post on the left wing.

Oakley has pulled to the right wing, out of the paint.

This is his style of play on the offensive end, using his mid-range shooting ability to create singles opportunities for Ewing.

So Rodman is not in the paint area either. Outside the right waist in the paint area, if he wants to make weak-side defense, it will take more time and leave Oakley open.

However, when he saw the ball flying towards Ewing, he immediately turned around and rushed into the paint without any hesitation.

Ewing's career average assists per game is only 1.9, which is the basis for Chuck Daly to arrange Rodman's help defense on the weak side, even leaving Oakley open.

Simply put, Ewing's assist ability is limited, and he cannot pass a threatening ball when he is double-teamed.

Whether it's a vision issue or a passing issue, the end result is the same.

Ewing catches the ball and John Salley is dead behind.

John Sely's defense is very strong, but he is not the kind of player who is good at top defense, he is good at face-to-face spider defense.

In other words, among the three super centers, he is more suitable for defending people like David Robinson who attack the basket.

So Ewing, relying on strength and tonnage advantages, quickly arched into the paint area.

But at this time Rodman rushed over from the upper side. Although his knee hurt a little, he still tried his best to counterattack.

Ewing saw it, immediately joined the ball, and then quickly turned right, avoiding Rodman's poking the ball. Headed into the paint and completed the bottom slide.

Next, his dunks were unstoppable.

"boom!"

One step up, the right hand blocked Sely who was blocking the block on the right, and the left hand dunked with one hand, blasting the Pistons' basket.

"Oh!"

After dunking successfully in the double-team, Ewing was also very excited, shouted sharply, and patted his chest excitedly.

"Give them back one."

Zhou Quan immediately shouted to boost morale.

"King Kong's technical work is good, and the Pistons' two big inside double-teams can't do anything to him." In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida laughed.

"Silky-smooth turn around and bottom dunk!"

Ringo Wilson praised: "Patrick can turn around and shoot jumpers, and he can calmly deal with double-teams from the lower or upper side. Technically speaking, he is the most comprehensive of the three super centers."

Pistons attack.

Neither Rodman nor John Salley have any offensive talent, so they can't pull out, which leads to a result. Because there is no defensive three-second rule, Ewing and Oakley can stay at the basket all day, allowing the Pistons' perimeter There is simply no room for a breakthrough.

Zhou Quan received the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward. Mark Jackson in the front defended and retreated to prevent him from rushing.

But this can't stop him, under acceleration, he is getting faster and faster.

"Our pickup truck is filling up."

The bearded commentator John Rowes roared excitedly.

When Zhou Quan advanced to the center line, he was about to charge completely, and Mark Jackson had no choice but to block it with his body.

"Oh!"

Zhou Quan changed direction in an instant, and hit Mark Jackson's left shoulder hard with his left shoulder.

Amid the sound of impact, the two of them had a meal at the same time.

Mark Jackson's left foot stepped back involuntarily and was knocked away, while Zhou Quan also paused slightly, and then pushed forward again to complete the breakthrough.

"Iron Fist, kill in!"

The bearded John Lowes shouted loudly.

Zhou Quan killed from the top of the arc and rushed to the free throw line.

Rodman, John Sely, Ewing, and Oakley are crowded in the paint area, which seems to be tight and there is no room for breakthrough.

Outside, Joe Dumars is moving towards the top of the arc, and Ulrich is also constantly moving on the left wing, but the Knicks are defense-oriented, and the defense is not weaker than the Pistons. Neither of them can run out of the open space, and the defender is close Don't pull them one step at a time.

On the bench, Thomas the Assassin had already stood up.

In this situation, his teammates have no chance. Even he can only make an emergency stop for a jump shot. There is no room for a breakthrough. He thinks that Zhou Quan will make an emergency stop for a jump shot at the free throw line in the next moment.

However, at this time, Zhou Quan's panoramic vision saw the breakthrough space under the basket:
Make a small change to the left, bypass Oakley in front, and then change to the right and pull horizontally. There is just a space to avoid Ewing below and reach directly in front of the basket.

"Oh!"

In the next moment, when he broke through quickly, he was at the free throw line, and suddenly made a breakthrough with a one-handed feint. The moment Oakley was shaken, he completed the breakthrough from the left.

"Damn!"

Oakley turned around quickly.

But at this time, Zhou Quan had just killed Oakley by one step, and immediately stopped quickly, and when Ewing grabbed him with one step, he changed direction to the right.

The reason why he chose to break through from the left is to pull Ewing up a step, he can change direction and kill to the basket, if Ewing sticks to the basket, he will jump there.

And if he breaks to the right, although Rodman can use Rodman's body to avoid Oakley, but Ewing is at the basket, he is not sure to complete the attack on the head of a super center.

"Oops!"

Ewing and the turned Oakley secretly thought at the same time.

Oakley turned immediately, but was blocked by Rodman.

And Ewing immediately returned to the basket to defend, but at this time Zhou Quan had pulled to the right side of the basket, and he lost his defensive position.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan pulled to the right side of the basket in two steps, and while his body was violent, he smashed the ball backhand with his right hand, but the height was a little short, and he almost buckled. Fortunately, the ball bumped back and forth in the basket a few times, and finally Still in.

"boom!"

The Palace of Auburn Hills suddenly boiled, and the endless shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

"Congratulations to Iron Fist, the successful dunk."

On TNT commentary, Robert Guida joked.

"Oh hoo!"

The bearded John Rowes shouted excitedly: "Iron Fist broke through all the Knicks' defenses by himself, he broke the Knicks' iron-blooded defense, and he completed a dunk on the head of super center Ewing... "

"Good job!"

The assassin jumped up excitedly in front of the bench, and he even turned around and waved at the fans, making the Palace of Auburn Hills even louder.

"ah!"

Zhou Quan also pumped his fists and shouted excitedly, then bumped his chest with Rodman and the others to celebrate.

Knicks attack.

Although they were not dunked just now, neither of them defended against the opponent's point guard's breakthrough dunk, and it was a bit embarrassing, so Ewing decided to pay one back.

After entering the paint, he immediately moves to the basket and wants to go deep.

Oakley has already pulled Rodman to the right waist position. He only needs to get a position under the basket, receive the ball, and score in every case.

John Sely knew his own shortcomings. He didn't defend against the top, but went straight forward, waving his arms constantly, like a spider.

Outside, Zhou Quan is also waving a pair of long arms, blocking Mark Jackson's passing route to the basket.

He is taller, has better wingspan, greater strength, and greater tonnage. Coupled with 95-level single-defense skills, he almost completely covers the opponent in defense.

Mark Jackson could only take a step back, intending to widen the distance and drop the ball in.

But just when Mark Jackson was moving backwards, when his ball was pulled back, when the ball left his hand, Zhou Quan's 96-level nerve reaction speed allowed him to make a quick steal response: right foot In an instant, he took a step forward, and at the same time leaned over, he quickly stabbed the basketball with his right hand.

"Crap!"

Mark Jackson's scalp exploded instantly.

But he was retreating, and there was no way to turn around and protect the ball at this moment.

"predict!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan's right index finger touched the ball.

At this time, Mark Jackson had finished retreating and was about to turn around to protect the ball. A strong physical confrontation occurred immediately. Even though he had gained 85 kilograms, under the pressure of Zhou Quan, he did not hold back and leaned to the side , Completely lost the chance to protect the ball and grab back on the spot.

"Steal the ball!"

The bearded John Rowes shouted excitedly.

"Oh!"

Zhou Quan rushed up and slapped the ball to the floor. After bouncing, he controlled it, and then launched a fast break.

"Iron Fist is coming down fast, Mark Jackson didn't catch up, he's two steps behind." The glasses man Longger Lance shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan pushed forward at a high speed, and the speed of level 91 broke out at full strength, like a pickup truck with the accelerator fully stepped forward.

Mark Jackson's speed is mediocre, not as good as Zhou Quan's. In addition, he was squeezed out, and when he started to return to defense, he had already lost a lot.

Two steps into the paint, Zhou Quan flew up more than two meters in front of the basket, and slashed down with the ball in his right hand like a battle axe.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The next moment, with the sound of exploding baskets, the audience was erupting, and [-] Pistons fans stood up excitedly and cheered loudly.

"Shh!"

A thousand away fans booed, but there was no movement. There were twenty times the number of people, and the gap was too great.

"ah!"

Zhou Quan landed from the air and shouted excitedly at the rushing teammates.

The two dunks at the beginning made his adrenaline feel like a high-pressure faucet turned on, and his blood seemed to be boiling, like boiling water.

Now his bounce has reached level 91, which is 3 levels higher than before he got the system. The vertical take-off height has increased from 73 cm to 82 cm, the assist jump has increased from 85 to 95, and the run-up reach has increased from 333 cm to 343 centimeters, and the height reached 331 centimeters after taking off from the spot.

In the past, it was considered a reluctant dunk with a full run-up and take-off, but a dunk from a standing jump was just a smash. If he threw it in, it was easy to dunk. That is to say, his hand is big and he has strong control over the ball with one hand, so he can throw it in. Yes, with his previous jumping quality, he couldn't dunk at all.

Even now, dunking on the spot may not be dunked without sufficient take-off, and you must take off with all your strength.

So he seldom dunks, usually mainly for layups, in order to suppress the opponent's momentum and boost his own morale, he will choose to dunk.

Bounce is one of the reasons why dunk ability is not enough. In fact, his wingspan is very good, which can make up for some of the disadvantages of bounce. But the reason why his wingspan is excellent is not how long his arms are, but like Jordan, his palms are longer , and his shoulders are very wide, which makes his standing height very ordinary, which affects his dunk ability.

"Mark, raise your concentration, or come down for me."

In front of the Knicks bench, Pat Riley's stern voice sounded, and a fierce look appeared on the face of the stylish gentleman.

"Ho... ho..."

Mark Jackson took deep breaths continuously. His mistake directly caused the loss of points, and the pressure came up immediately. Now he uses deep breaths to force himself to calm down.

4:2, the Pistons lead at home, and the Knicks attack.

Mark Jackson is no longer looking for Zhou Quan in singles. From the five regular season games to the steal just now, his singles can't help Zhou Quan. He has lost the confidence of the opponent in singles.

There is a truth in the NBA, that is, any breakthrough is not as effective as a pick-and-roll.

So he calls a pick-and-roll, pulls to the left wing, and runs a pick-and-roll with McDaniel, a small forward who is 201 cm.

At this time, the flaws in Ulrich's defensive skills were revealed. He was the only defensive flaw in the Pistons' starting lineup.

According to the tactical requirements of the coaching staff, they will not switch defenses in this position, because switching defenses will give opponents a dislocation advantage, but if they do not switch defenses, they will also allow opponents to get open opportunities.

So when the pick-and-roll happens here, without switching defenses, Ulrich should immediately make a defensive move to delay Mark Jackson, and then return to his own side, which can allow Zhou Quan to go around After passing McDaniel, he can catch up with Mark Jackson immediately.

But he forgot, so when the pick-and-roll happened, he just followed McDaniel instead of Mark Jackson.

When Zhou Quan bypassed McDaniel, Mark Jackson, who got an open chance, had already made a mid-range shot.

"brush!"

Open mid-range shot, nine out of ten shots, the ball is hit.

4:4, Pistons attack.

"Orlando, don't forget to block him next time, your defense is very important to us." Zhou Quan urged Ulrich.

"understood."

As a veteran, Ulrich was ashamed.

Zhou Quan advanced unhurriedly to the frontcourt, this time he did not go to the left wing, but to the right wing.

As soon as he was beyond the right-wing three-point line, Joe Dumars immediately moved to the top of the key and blocked Mark Jackson in passing.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, without delaying a moment, he quickly started, directly rushed into the flank, and went straight to the paint area.

"Pretty!"

In the on-site commentary booth, the bespectacled male dragon Girlance shouted excitedly.

When Oakley saw it, he jumped from the paint to the right waist fiercely, staring at Zhou Quan who was killing him.

The best way for Zhou Quan at this time is to make an emergency stop jump shot, but even though his emergency stop jump shot skill has been upgraded to level 87, it is still unusable.

In particular, the system has higher requirements on his shooting percentage in the playoffs, which requires him not to make random shots.

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he didn't even slow down, changed direction slightly, and bumped directly into it.

He has the confidence to knock the opponent away. Although Oakley's tonnage has reached 110 kilograms, the opponent is in a static state, while he is in a high-speed breakthrough and has a strong impact.

"Oh!"

The left half of their bodies collided instantly.

"asshole!"

Oakley didn't expect Zhou Quan to choose such a confrontation method. He was knocked backwards and sat down on the floor.

And Zhou Quan was also knocked to a stop, but this was in line with his purpose, using the impact to slow down and get rid of the defense.

The next moment, he jumped up at the right waist and made a jumper.

In the case of no defender in front of him, three meters away from the basket, with a basic shooting skill of level 93, the shooting percentage can theoretically be at least 95 of [-] shots.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"boom!"

The audience detonated again, and the atmosphere at the Pistons' home court became more and more high.

Chuck Daly took a deep breath excitedly, Zhou Quan's performance made him very happy.

This is a young man with a strong willpower. He played such a good performance at the beginning of the first playoffs, which shows his strong psychological quality.

"Oh hoo!"

The bearded John Rowes roared excitedly: "Iron Fist made three shots in the first three shots. Everyone said that his offense was not very good, but he made three shots from three shots."

Glasses man Girlands said excitedly: "Iron Fist is doing great! This is his first playoff game. At the beginning, he bravely provoked the team's offense and played a star performance."

"Old Zhang, is it not a foul for Zhou Quan to hit the defender like this?" Chicago, Zhang Lili's wife asked.

"what is this?"

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Let me tell you, in the playoffs, how strong the defense can be. If there is no blood, there will be no fouls."

"Oh my God!"

Lao Zhang's wife couldn't help exclaiming.
