God of NBA point guards

Chapter 115 Look at what I do, I didn't do anything

"Erwin, do you think we need to trade Iron Fist?"

"Jerry, the question now is not whether we need it, but the Pistons can't trade Iron Fist."

At this time, in Los Angeles, Jerry West's home, he is sitting with the magician to watch the game.

West nodded and said: "Iron Fist has played such a performance in the first two games of the playoffs. It is indeed difficult to trade. It is even more difficult to trade than before."

"The 3+1 contract, the player option for the last year, the closest opportunity to us should be two years later." Jerry West murmured.

Elvin Johnson glanced at West and shook his head secretly.

In fact, he doesn't have much hope for trading Zhou Quan. The Pistons have trained Zhou Quan too much, and even put the core of the bad boy army, the soul assassin of the bad boy army, on the bench lineup. He can't guarantee it. Zhou Quan was traded to the Lakers, will the Lakers give him the same status as the Pistons?
After all, if it is really traded, the Lakers are not Zhou Quan's home team. Once a better rookie appears, the Lakers will definitely be more willing to believe in their own rookie rather than the traded star. Either become a bargaining chip or a stepping stone.

The key point is that I believe Zhou Quan also understands this point. When a star leaves his home team, he loses his roots, and what remains is only use value.

……

Madison Square Garden, starting at 45:[-].

"Shh!"

Zhou Quan came out amid boos and walked into this basketball holy place again.

He's no stranger here, played a game in the regular season, beat Oakley and Mason here, but it wasn't the first time he played here, and it wasn't the first time he beat someone here.

At this time last year, the NCAA ice hockey finals were held here. The Bruins won the championship. In that game, he PKed twice. He caused the two conflicts. He fined one of the opponent's main scorers for 15 minutes. Laying the groundwork for a championship.

Everyone wants to play their best performance in this arena, just because this is where the NBA gets the most attention.

Looking at the media seats behind the bottom line on both sides, the reporters are almost too crowded. There are several rows of standing and sitting. If you perform your best performance here, your popularity will definitely increase.

Zhou Quan also thought that he is not a saint. As his popularity rises, his influence will increase, and the sales of sneakers will also increase. The same goes for other endorsed brands, and his commercial value will have a chance to be realized.

If there is no strong influence, not only will he have no commercial value, even if he becomes a superstar, he will not be able to become a superstar.

So he was excited, a little trembling with excitement.

"Hey, look, is this kid scared? He's shaking." A fan shouted excitedly.

"Don't dream, he will be afraid? Forget that it was here last time, did he beat Oakley and Green? If he hadn't injured Oakley and them, how could we only be sixth in the Eastern Conference?" shouted the fans.

"At this time last year, it was also in our Madison Square Garden, the NCAA ice hockey finals, do you remember, this kid won two PKs, he can really play, so I bought his Tekken generation." A fan cut in behind speak.

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

It was almost [-]:[-], and the starters were about to play. In front of the Pistons' bench, all the players gathered together, with Zhou Quan, the Assassin, and Joe Dumars in the middle, chanting the Pistons' famous quotes together.

In the first two games, the Pistons allocated 500 visiting team tickets to the Knicks, and the Knicks also allocated [-] tickets to the Pistons, but because the ticket prices here were too high, only more than [-] fans from Detroit came.

"We are tough, tough..."

"Shh!"

Now these more than 500 fans of the visiting team are trying their best to follow the team and shout loudly, but unfortunately, their shouts have just risen, like a small flame, a pot of water is poured down, and it is immediately extinguished by the boos of the home fans .

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

For the jump ball, John Sely fought hard this time, took the lead to get the ball away, and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan held the ball and came outside the three-point line on the left wing. After a short pause, he suddenly exerted his strength again. Under the unique three-in-one breakthrough, he knocked away Mark Jackson. When the supplementary defense is not in front of him, he makes an emergency stop and jump shot.

"boom!"

It's a pity that there is a small open space, but the touch is average, and the ball is missed.

"brush!"

Ewing grabbed the rebound, the Knicks attacked, and Mark Jackson handed the ball to the left-wing small forward McDaniel, who singled Ulrich, made a fake shot, and hit a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan once again made a three-in-one breakthrough and made an emergency stop two steps away from the left waist to make a jump shot, but still missed.

"Missed two mid-range shots and got a small open. It seems that Iron Fist doesn't feel very good today. With his calmness and overall view, he should make adjustments and focus on sorting out the team's offense."

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida said.

Ringo Wilson nodded and shook his head again: "He will definitely make a shot, otherwise his breakthrough with the ball will lose its threat."

"boom!"

Oakley grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned around, and McDaniel missed a mid-range shot.

This time, Rodman protected the backcourt rebound and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan still made a three-in-one breakthrough and broke through Mark Jackson.

"Do you dare to change someone else?"

Mark Jackson, who was smashed into a sieve, groaned angrily, but he just couldn't prevent this kind of breakthrough combining technology and strength.

At this time, John Sely in the low post on the left wing did not enter the basket, but opened his hands for the ball.

John Sely's mid-range shot is mediocre, but not without it, so Ewing can't return to the basket, and he can't leave John Sely with a chance to get close to the basket.

Under the basket, the vicious Oakley stared closely at Zhou Quan who had killed him, with a very fierce aura.

Zhou Quan took the ball to the left waist of the paint area. He didn't make a quick stop and jump shot like the previous two attacks, but directly went in.

At this moment, Rodman, who was stuck behind, made an offensive screen and desperately entangled Oakley.

The next moment, Ewing lost John Sely and returned to the basket.

And Zhou Quan also reached the basket in two steps. At this time, he heard the sharp friction of sneakers behind him, and knew that Ewing must be behind him.

The moment the basketball was pulled up, he swung his backhand back, and the next moment, he jumped up and made a layup.

In the next moment, Ewing jumped from behind, and Oakley also jumped to block the block after he elbowed Rodman back.

"what?"

"Where's the ball?"

However, when they all jumped up, they suddenly found that Zhou Quan didn't have the ball in his hands.

When Ewing returned to the basket, John Sely also took the opportunity to move to the basket. At this time, he was very much looking forward to receiving Zhou Quan's pass.

He has developed a habit that Zhou Quan may pass some elusive balls at any time, so when Zhou Quan enters the paint area with the ball, his attention is often particularly concentrated.

The next moment, he saw Zhou Quan and Ewing all jump up, and at the same time, he also saw the ball flying from Zhou Quan's back.

"Snapped!"

Catch the ball with both hands, step forward, and fly up from Ewing's back.

"boom!"

The next moment, when Ewing fell from the sky, a huge force hit his back, causing him to stagger forward and nearly fall, and then there was a violent basket explosion sound above his head.

"ah!"

On the Pistons bench, more than 500 fans of the visiting team cheered instantly.

"The dunk! John Sely received an iron fist pass and dunked the super center Ewing." In the TNT commentary booth, Robert Guida roared excitedly.

"Tekken used his ball-handling drive to attract Ewing and Oakley's defense, created an open opportunity for John Salley, and he also got an assist." Ringo Wilson said.

Robert Jeddah smiled and said: "Three times, Iron Fist made three consecutive breakthroughs against Mark Jackson. Such breakthroughs are very common in the regular season and in the first two series.

The speed of Iron Fist's breakthrough is not fast, the fake moves are not top-notch, and the first step is not very fast, but when combined with his strength tonnage, the perfect combination of body and technology is completed. The first line of defense is difficult to defend, and the second line of defense must be used to make up.

His breakthrough is unique, and I think it can be called an iron fist breakthrough. His body is the fist in the breakthrough, the heavy cavalry sharp arrow. "

"Iron fist breakthrough?"

Ringo Wilson smiled, and said: "Mark Jackson is considered a very powerful point guard, but he really can't stop the iron fist breakthrough."

2:2, the Knicks attack.

Ewing asked for the ball in the low position on the left wing. After receiving the ball, he first swayed up, then immediately took it, turned around and slid to the basket.

"Snapped!"

Rodman made up the defense in time, and John Sely quickly surrounded him from behind. When Ewing forced a layup, the two teamed up and knocked him down from the air.

"Di!"

The referee whistled and pointed at Rodman. The thug fouled and made two free throws.

"Hey, King Kong, don't try to score easily under our basket." John Sely shouted at Ewing fiercely.

"Boy, get out of here!"

Oakley came up and pushed John Selley away.

The four villains are not easy to mess with, especially Oakley's fist is very hard, John Sely can't help but look back at Zhou Quan, Iron Fist (beater), your job is coming.

"Are there going to be conflicts?"

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Jeddah said excitedly.

Zhou Quan came over and walked in front of Oakley with a smile on his face, but he pushed Oakley away a step, then looked at Ewing next to him and asked with a smile, "Patrick, calm down!" How about a little?"

Ewing was dumbfounded, and spread his hands. You asked me what I did, but I didn't do anything?

"Shet!"

Oakley snorted angrily. Iron Fist was an obvious threat. If he caused a conflict, he would be the first to settle Patrick and make the Knicks suffer.

The referee stepped in at this time, pushed Zhou Quan and Oakley away with both hands, and said angrily with a straight face: "Okay, don't come to test my bottom line, let me spread them out, or I will take all T."

Under the threat of a strong referee, Oakley and Zhou Quan didn't want to cause a conflict at this time, so they immediately took advantage of the slope and retreated.

Next, Ewing made a free throw, missed the first free throw, made the second free throw, 2:3, and the Pistons attacked.

"boom!"

Joe Dumars attacked with the ball, made a false shot, and made a sudden stop when he reached the middle distance, but he missed.

McDaniel grabbed the rebound and the Knicks attacked.

"boom!"

Wilkins Jr.'s emergency stop jumper after the breakthrough also missed.

It was the turn of the Pistons to attack again. Zhou Quan held the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing and took the initiative to use the body of small forward Ulrich to get rid of Mark Jackson.

It's not that he can't push through Mark Jackson, but breaking through the pick-and-roll is the most cost-effective way to break through. It saves the most energy. If the pick-and-roll tactic is well played, it can also kill people.

Mark Jackson and McDaniel did not switch defenses after the pick-and-roll occurred. The former bypassed Ulrich and chased after him.

But he couldn't catch up, Zhou Quan hit the left end of the free throw line in the left elbow area, and before Oakley made up, he made a sudden stop jumper again.

"brush!"

The ball is hit, hollow into the basket.

"call!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, and it was better to make one of three shots than zero for three.

"brush!"

Looking back, Ewing used a bunny bounce to distance himself from John Sely, and hit a jumper.

4:5, Pistons attack.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides were still biting together. At 12:11, the Pistons led by one point, the Knicks attacked, and Pat Riley called a timeout.

Ringer Wilson said: "The shooting percentages of both sides are not high, neither exceeds 39.7%, the defense is too hard, the Pistons are 37.5%, and the Knicks are [-]%.

In addition, the Pistons grabbed 6 rebounds, while the Knicks had 7. The Pistons rebounded better today. Rodman has been on the court and he has already grabbed [-] rebounds.The improvement in rebounding is an important reason why the Pistons are currently leading by one point. "

Robert Guida said: "Ewing's shooting rate is still unsatisfactory, 41%. Although it is already higher than the average line of the Knicks today, but he is a center, this shooting rate is not satisfactory. And his previous The average field goal percentage in the two games was less than [-]%, and I hope tonight's performance will be better."

Lingwell went on to say: "Iron Fist didn't shoot very well today. All three shots were emergency stop jumpers, 3 of 1 shots, and got 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Robert, his breakthrough speed is actually not fast, but very stable. Theoretically speaking, the hit rate of pull-up jump shots should not be so low. What do you think is the reason? "

"Technology, and only technology."

Robert Guida analyzed: "His emergency stop and jump shot skills have not yet reached the top level, and his shooting percentage cannot be high. Under this intensity of defense, first-class skills will also lose stability. This is the playoffs."

On the Knicks bench, Pat Riley said sternly: "Strengthen the confrontation at the basket, I want more rebounds, and more second-attack opportunities."

The reason why he was able to recover in the G2 game was due to the advantage of rebounds. Today, he only grabbed one more rebound in the half quarter, which made him a little anxious, so he called this timeout.

"Also, keep the defense on Iron Fist, don't let him go into our paint easily, let him shoot outside."

"Gerald, step up the defense against Joe Dumars. If they put in Isiah Thomas, it's the same. Let Iron Fist take shots. The more shots he takes, the better our chances of winning."

After a few consecutive reminders, the timeout time has come.

Serving from the sideline of the frontcourt, Mark Jackson went around from the inside, deliberately passing by his teammate McDaniel, taking the opportunity to get rid of Zhou Quan who was marking him, and then pulled the ball outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

Zhou Quan nimbly bypassed the obstacle, followed quickly, and jumped on Mark Jackson the first time he caught the ball.

"not good!"

"careful!"

The two on-site commentators exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan poked the ball away with a big hand, and then took the opportunity to knock Mark Jackson away. After getting the ball, he launched a fast break.

"boom!"

Joe Dumars quickly went down from the right wing and when he cut to the left waist, Zhou Quan's ball arrived. He caught the ball and took off to complete a one-handed dunk.

At 14:11, the Pistons lead and the Knicks attack.

"boom!"

Ewing missed a shot over John Saley's head.

"mine."

Rodman moved in place first and protected the backcourt rebound.

Zhou Quan unhurriedly advanced to the left wing of the frontcourt, without stopping, and directly launched an attack, starting his breakthrough with the ball.

Having been bumped many times, Mark Jackson already had some psychological shadows in his mind about Zhou Quan's breakthrough. This time he didn't block it, but followed Zhou Quan's breakthrough, and defended and retreated.

Although this can't stop Zhou Quan's breakthrough, it won't lose his defensive position, and it can also limit the speed of the opponent's breakthrough.

His idea is to put Zhou Quan close to the paint area, wait for his teammates to double-team, and force Zhou Quan to shoot outside the paint area, which also meets the coach's tactical requirements.

Under the opponent's defensive strategy, Zhou Quan did not charge up.

And Mark Jackson didn't retreat when he retreated to the left waist position, Ewing was also eyeing him in the low post on the left wing, and there was the ferocious Oakley under the basket, it was already difficult for him to break through.

At the same time, Rodman was stuck behind Oakley, and there was no room for passing the ball. John Sely was also pushed outside by Ewing, and there was no open space.

At this time, there is no other choice, it seems that there is only an emergency stop and a jump shot.

"squeak!"

He made an emergency stop, stopped one step outside the paint area, pulled the ball up with his right hand, closed his left hand, paused slightly, and made a false throwing gesture of worshiping Buddha.

His hands are very big, and the ball is held firmly in his right hand after being pulled up, so this bowing action is very real and very deceptive.

The next moment, Ewing below and Mark Jackson in front were both deceived at the same time, their bodies tensed up instantly, and they rushed forward.

"boom!"

But just as the two rushed forward, Zhou Quan's right hand suddenly pressed down, and the ball exploded in an instant. The basketball rebounded in a V shape and bounced to the low post on the left wing.

"not good!"

Ewing was in a hurry and stopped suddenly, but his body couldn't keep up and he almost fell down.

"Snapped!"

The left wing is low, and the concentrated John Sely clasped his hands together, just in his most comfortable and most comfortable chest position to catch the ball.

The next moment, he took a step forward and made an open jumper near the basket.

Oakley under the basket took a step to take off and block the block, but it was too late.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and nearly two points hit a goal.

"Beautiful, the Knicks' defense has done the best, preventing Iron Fist from rushing in, but he still used his fake moves to deceive Ewing and Mark Jackson and completed a beautiful pass." Robert Guida praised .

"This fake move is really beautiful. It deceived two defenders at once." Ringo Wilson also praised.
