God of NBA point guards

Chapter 113 The Depressed Big Worm

The game started at 07 o'clock, and at 30:[-], the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Knicks: Ewing, Charles Oakley, McDaniel, Gerald Wilkins, Mark Jackson

Pistons: John Saley, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumars, Joo Kwon

"The main lineups of both sides have not changed. I don't know how the Knicks will play today? If they lose both games, it will be quite passive for the Pistons to get the series match point."

Robert Gedda, TNT commentary, said.

Ringo Wilson calmly analyzed: "There is no news that Rodman has recovered from his injury, so in this game, the Knicks will most likely continue to maintain their rebounding advantage, and it is obvious.

Because of the outbreak of the G1 game, Iron Fist may not be able to continue to play a hot superstar performance. Once his performance is not as amazing as the previous game, the Pistons will be quite troublesome, and there is a high probability that they will lose the G2 game.

In addition, the assassin's performance is also critical, can he stand up? "

Robert Jeddah shook his head and nodded again, and said, "The Assassins' performance has declined since last season, but they are no longer good. Otherwise, how could last year's Eastern Conference Finals be swept by Jordan?
After being swept away that time, let me tell you that the assassin's mentality has been broken. He knew he was going to die, but he didn't admit it, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten Iron Fist with Lambiel in the locker room.

His injuries are too serious, and the last Auburn Hills battle added to his injuries. If the Pistons expect him to stand up, it is not very reliable. He can only be used as a supplement to the team now.

But Ringer, I agree with what you said just now. In the G2 game, it is very likely that the Knicks will have some advantages, and they themselves have the strength to tie the big score. "

At this time, the substitute came off the bench, and the main players were still in the locker room.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Pat Riley is giving instructions to the five main players.

"Rebounding, this is the most important thing, the biggest advantage we can get now, we must maintain this advantage today."

"Patrick, Charles, when you play against Rodman, you must strengthen the confrontation. He is injured and will definitely avoid the confrontation. This will allow us to get a better position and grab more rebounds. "

"Defense in the penalty area. The day before yesterday we prevented other people from breaking through, but we didn't block Iron Fist. Today I ask you to block him."

"Pay attention to pick-and-rolls. In order to save energy and increase the probability of breakthroughs, Iron Fist will definitely need a lot of pick-and-rolls. You just need to remember that he is not good at shooting outside, so you just need to guard against his breakthroughs."

"Also, I have observed his passing habits. He is not good at passing the ball to the open teammates behind him. That is to say, we can let the people behind him go."

"Also, Patrick, I hope you can get in there tonight, increase your shooting percentage, increase your lethality, it's a must."

Oakley chimed in when Pat Riley said this: "Coach, if the situation is not good, are we going to start a conflict?"

Anthony Mason in the corner got his scalp blown when he heard that, silly, are you really stupid?
Iron Fist has made it clear that he also wants to use the trade-off tactic. As long as you get Ewing down, even if he goes down by himself, the Pistons are more likely to win. If you let him get you down too, one against two, the Knicks will directly Kneeling, what else are you hitting?
Pat Riley thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "The tactics that cause conflict can only be used when there is no other way. Let's try our best to get back this one."

Oakley nodded, relieved.

To be honest, he really didn't want to provoke Iron Fist, and he didn't want to experience the experience of being knocked out with a single punch again.

And that bastard Iron Fist didn't talk about martial arts at all, and continued to beat him when he was injured in the field. The shit chivalry is just a sinister villain. I don't know how he became a knight praised by everyone.

Ice hockey executioners have the spirit of chivalry. Anyone who thinks this way is a fool. Throwing a glove and becoming a knight?dumbass!
Executioners are the most shameful people. In order to win, they will try their best to deal with the opponent's main scorer, sneak attack, and directly cause conflicts, which are all the work of executioners.

Just when Oakley was slandering Zhou Quan, Mason also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the event of a conflict, Dasha can't do it, and he has to step up in the end. To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in the face of Iron Fist, and he doesn't want to have a conflict on the court.

He is an elite with a high IQ and a top student. He came to the NBA to beat people, no, to play basketball, not to be beaten. If he was beaten, he might as well go back to Europe to play.

……

At a quarter to eight, ten starters from the two teams gathered in the player tunnel, facing each other five to five, like a cockfight, you stare at me, I stare at you, as if a war is about to start at the next moment.

Fortunately, the host's voice soon rang, and the visiting team started to play, and the atmosphere in the player tunnel relaxed.

"We are tough, tough, iron-blooded, and we are fearless!"

Before the battle, 2 people cheered again from the Palace of Auburn Hills, shaking the entire Detroit and countless fans watching the game again and again.

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first-round G2 series between the Pistons and the Knicks has begun." In the TNT commentary booth, Robert Guida shouted excitedly.

"The Knicks made the jump ball and Mark Jackson started to advance. Oh, he called the pick-and-roll..." Ringo Wilson said.

On the left wing, Mark Jackson used the pick-and-roll to temporarily get rid of Zhou Quan, entered the wing and broke through with the ball in the paint. The Pistons' defensive formation immediately moved to the strong side.

On the weak side of the right wing, Wilkins ran back to get rid of Joe Dumars, and quickly cut into the paint area. Oakley made an offensive screen in time, blocked Rodman, blocked Joe Dumars, and let his teammates get A chance to cut to the basket.

Mark Jackson saw the cut sharply and quickly lobbed the ball to the right of the basket.

John Sely faced Ewing, and it was too late to return to the basket.

"boom!"

Wilkins stepped up, caught the ball in the air on the right side of the basket, and took advantage of the opportunity to complete a dunk.

"Beautiful! Gerald Wilkins and Mark Jackson completed a wonderful alley-oop dunk." In the TNT commentary booth, Robert Guida shouted excitedly.

2:0, Pistons attack.

Zhou Quan went around to the left wing, holding the ball while approaching the three-point line.

Mark Jackson defended and retreated. When he stepped back to the three-point line, he did not retreat.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly started to make a breakthrough, and turned around with a feint.

At present, his six breakthrough skills are mainly practicing one-handed feint breakthrough, which has reached level 82. False turn around is still the original level 90, but it is also a first-class level.

Mark Jackson was shaken, and his body couldn't help but pause.

At this time, Zhou Quan successfully broke through from the left side, controlled the ball with his left hand, and protected the ball with his right elbow.

After Mark Jackson reacted, he retreated immediately and stuck to Zhou Quan's right side, but he had no chance to get around to the front, so he could only run to the paint area.

After rushing to the left waist of the paint area, Zhou Quan suddenly grabbed the ball in his hands, and the next moment he completed the ball, he rushed forward and hit Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson was knocked back a step, while Zhou Quan counteracted the impact with the reaction force and stopped.

The next moment, he took a step back and jumped up.

At this time, Mark Jackson's center of gravity was unstable, and when he took a step to take off and block the block, Zhou Quan's ball had already been shot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

2:2, the Knicks attack.

"brush!"

McDaniel ran on the left wing. After receiving the ball, he made a fake shot and got rid of Ulrich. Then he went two steps away from the oil source area. He suddenly stopped for a jumper and hit a ball.

"Defense! Increase your concentration..."

Chuck Daly began to roar from the sidelines after allowing the opponent to open two shots.

4:2, Pistons attack.

Zhou Quan came to the right wing with the ball, while Joe Dumars moved from the right wing to the top of the arc. At this time, the former began to break through with the ball, and the latter immediately ran back, moving quickly from the top of the arc to the right wing.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan made a backhand push and hit the ground to pass the ball.

Because the ball was passed without looking at people, although the ball was passed suddenly, it was not very in place. There were some problems with the hitting point and the rebound height was not enough.

The position of Joe Dumars receiving the ball was not very good, it was a little low, he had to adjust it before jumping up and shooting. At this time, Wilkins Jr. flew from the left to block the shot, and at the moment the ball was released, he adjusted backwards for a moment.

"boom!"

The ball was short and bounced off the basket.

Oakley and Rodman grab the rebound at the same time, and the former who is closer to the inside gets it.

The Knicks attacked, Mark Jackson came to the left wing, separated Zhou Quan, and lobbed the ball to McDaniel.

McDaniel was the No. 85 pick in the first round in 7. He was drafted in the same year as Ewing. He was the second best rookie of the year, second only to Ewing. In the past seven seasons, he has averaged 20+ points per game in four seasons. However, because of The number of shots is limited, and he only averaged 13.7 points per game this season.

But his scoring ability is very strong. He has the ability to attack with the ball in the middle distance. He has a good mid-range shot.

Zhou Quan carefully analyzed and studied the data of his opponents. When Mark Jackson passed the ball overhead, he immediately turned sideways, facing the right wing, and pulled McDaniel below into his field of vision.

McDaniel catches the ball with his back to the basket and takes a step back to face the basket.

Just when he faced the basket and lost his vision behind him, Zhou Quan, who was two steps above him, quickly started and jumped down.

After facing the basket, McDaniel immediately used a fake shot to shake Ulrich, who was not very defensive, and then quickly started. With a strong first step, he completed the breakthrough to the defender.

"careful!"

At this moment, Mark Jackson's exclamation sounded.

"what?"

McDaniel's heart tightened.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Zhou Quan jumped to McDaniel's side, stretched out his hand, and knocked the ball out of his hands. Then, with his hands together, he caught the ball bouncing up from the floor and completed the steal.

Thanks to the hitting accuracy of combat sports and the 96-level nerve reaction speed, his stealing action is very precise and fast, and there is no foul.

"here."

When Joe Dumas, who had just moved to the top of the arc, saw it, he immediately shouted, turned around and quickly descended.

Zhou Quan turned around and took a step forward with the dribble. Seeing that Mark Jackson was blocking the front, he immediately passed the ball over the top, and the ball flew to Joe Dumars in the middle.

Joe Dumars caught the ball and went down quickly, and Wilkins Jr. tried his best to catch up, but he never caught up. The former made a layup and hit a goal.

4:4, the Knicks attack.

Ewing entered the paint from the low post on the left wing, John Saley went around to defend, he immediately pulled out to catch the ball, and suddenly turned around for a jumper.

"boom!"

John Selley didn't have time to block, but Ewing couldn't make the shot either.

"Snapped!"

Oakley rushed to the basket, stuck Rodman and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Rodman was so anxious that blood came out of his eyes, but his condition is still not good today, and his knee injury is still affecting his ability to move and fight.

"boom!"

Oakley took off again and missed John Sely's block for a layup.

"Snapped!"

After the ball bounced, Ewing clicked it, and several people fought for it at the same time, but no one knew who hit the ball.

Zhou Quan was lucky, he was very close to the landing point, and rushed to get the ball.

He advanced quickly, and Mark Jackson ran a step ahead. After rushing into the right wing, he immediately went to the right elbow area, and then repeated his tricks, actively slamming into Mark Jackson, and took the opportunity to stop at the right end of the free throw line.

This time too, when he took off and shot, Mark Jackson, who was knocked back, had no chance to make a timely defensive action.

"Snapped!"

Unfortunately, just after Zhou Quan threw the ball, Ewing caught up from behind and slapped the ball out of the baseline with a big cap.

"Ugh!"

A sigh sounded from the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"This animal is so fast!"

After taking a big hat, Zhou Quan couldn't help being secretly startled.

In the next game, the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

The Pistons hope to win the second home game to gain a match point, but the Knicks hope to win an away game, equalize the big score and return to the home court to kill the Pistons, so they are all shots.

However, Rodman's state is still sluggish, and his playing time is very fragmented. After playing for a few minutes, he has to go down and take a rest. The rebounds he grabbed are comparable to the G1 game.

As for Assassin Isiah Thomas, his state has recovered and he is stronger than the G1 battle.

After the first half, 48:48, the two teams tied.

TNT解说席上，罗伯特吉达说道：“铁拳上半场打了16分钟，7投3中，3罚3中，拿到了9分3篮板5助攻2抢断1犯规的数据。

He rarely really entered the penalty area today, so the offensive efficiency is obviously not as good as in the previous game. This is also his current weakness on the offensive end. He is not close to the basket and lacks scoring ability. "

Ringer Wilson said: "Joe Dumars played 20 minutes. The difference from the last game is that he added some breakthroughs with the ball today. He made 9 of 4 shots and 3 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 turnover. The data.

In addition, Ulrich played well. He cooperated with Zhou Quan in the pick-and-roll, making 7 of 4 shots and 4 of 2 free throws. He also scored 10 points.

Rodman scored no points, John Sely scored 6 points, and the four main players scored 35 points. "

罗伯特吉达接着说道：“刺客替补上场，打了12分钟，6投3中，拿到了6分2篮板3助攻1失误的数据。

In addition, Mark Aguirre scored 5 points, Bedford 2 points, and the Pistons scored 13 points from three substitutes, accounting for 27% of the total points in the first half. "

Ringo Wilson said with a smile: "For the Knicks, Ewing made 9 of 3 shots and only made 33.3% of his field goals.

Is the Pistons' defense too strong?I don't think so. From the last game, Rodman's state was not good. His defense was not as good as in the regular season. He didn't provide enough defensive energy for the team, and he didn't play a lot of time. "

Robert Guida said with a smile: "John Sely's defense is very hard, his shots are very fierce, Ewing can't easily get close to the basket, and mainly uses jump shots, which is the reason for the low shooting rate.

In addition, Mark Jackson still has nothing to do with the iron fist. If it weren't for the defense of others, he might still be blown up by the iron fist today.

McDaniel played well today and scored 12 points. He is the key figure for the Knicks to bite the Pistons. "

Ringer Wilson said: "Judging from the situation in the first half, just like in the G1 game, the Pistons' organizational ability is better, and the offense is actually better than the Knicks, with a shooting percentage of 48.6%. In the case of falling behind, there is still a reason for a tie.

Restricted by Ewing's performance, the Knicks' offense did not play out, and their shooting percentage was only 38.5%. Obviously, Ewing was holding back.

But the Knicks were still able to bite the Pistons, again thanks to the rebounding advantage. "

Robert Guida smiled and said: "25:19, the Knicks had 6 more rebounds. I want to remind the Knicks that your rebounding advantage is not as good as in G1."

Ringo Wilson said: "But today the Pistons' perimeter defense does not seem to be as good as in the G1 game. Only Iron Fist completed two steals, and the others did not. Of course, the Knicks only had one steal. In terms of this data, it is better than the performance of the Pistons." worse."

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

In the third quarter, the two teams still fought with all their strength.

The two sides are too familiar with each other, and there is no hidden strategy, just fight hard, first fight defensively, and then fight offensively.

After the third quarter, 69:71, the Pistons trailed by two points.

In the three quarters, the Pistons grabbed 9 fewer rebounds than the Knicks, and they did not have the same advantage as in the G1 game. The steals were two, the blocks were similar, and the turnovers and fouls were the same. They were far behind in rebounds. Not as good as the opponent's situation, relying on more efficient offense to bite the score.

"Iron Fist, we hope to win the last quarter. I ask you to rush in and fight." Chuck Daly squatted in front of Zhou Quan and said seriously.

"OK." Zhou Quan nodded.

Soon the final quarter started, and the Knicks attacked.

"brush!"

False sudden real shot, after McDaniel shook back Ulrich, hit a mid-range shot.

Zhou Quan went down to double-team, but he was half a beat too late.

"McDaniel's performance today was really strong. He stood up and now has 14 points. He made 14 of 7 shots and hit 50%. If it weren't for his outstanding performance, the Knicks would be worse today." TNT commentary seat On, Robert Guida exclaimed.
