God of NBA point guards

Chapter 116
16:11, the Knicks attack.

When the team's offense was unfavorable, McDaniel stood up again, singled Ulrich, made a false shot, and after entering the paint area, he completed an emergency stop throw and hit a goal.

16:13, Pistons attack.

This time, Zhou Quan still used the breakthrough to attract the defense, and then gave the ball to John Sely who had a chance. Unfortunately, Sely missed the hit this time under Oakley's supplementary defense.

Oakley grabbed the rebound and the Knicks attacked.

Mark Jackson used the pick-and-roll to break through, and when he reached the paint, Zhou Quan overtook him, and he quickly passed to Ewing below.

At critical moments, you must believe in your own superstars.

As soon as Ewing received the ball, he was double-teamed by John Sely and Zhou Quan, and then Rodman also surrounded him, three-in-one, he was so surrounded that he couldn't even pass the ball.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan struck hard, and his hands were very accurate. Seeing the opportunity, he slapped it directly, and hit Ewing's hand.

"Oh, Iron Fist got the ball!" exclaimed Robert Guida.

Pistons attack.

This time, under the three-in-one breakthrough, Zhou Quan knocked away Mark Jackson and approached the penalty area from the top of the arc. His breakthrough with the ball was like a sharp knife, forcing Rodman up from the basket, and Yu Because forced to the basket.

In this way, John Sely once again got an open position in the low position on the left wing, less than three meters away from the basket.

But when passing the ball at this time, Ewing still has a chance to return to the defense, so Zhou Quan did not pass the ball, but continued to break through.

"squeak!"

An emergency stop, the moment the ball was pulled up, the left hand closed falsely, and once again made a fake throw and a real thrust.

The false hesitation was so realistic, even though he had just been fooled once, this time, Oakley's center of gravity was still shaken.

There is no way, the body's instinctive reaction is faster than the brain, and it is too late to control it.

"boom!"

The next moment, he pressed the ball down with his right hand and pulled it up with his left hand. Zhou Quan changed his direction and shot at Oakley from the left, heading towards Ewing at the basket.

Ewing was concentrating on it, but when Zhou Quan reached in front of him, he turned around and leaned on him, but the ball fell into John Sely's hands.

"boom!"

The next moment, John Sely took a big step forward, and while his body was rising, he dunked the ball with his right hand, and dunked Ewing and Zhou Quan together.

"Shet!"

"Damn it, our super center was dunked again?"

Immediately, Madison Square Garden erupted in lamentations and invective.

At 18:13, the Pistons led away by 5 points. The Knicks attacked and called a second timeout.

"Congratulations to John Sely, you dunk Patrick Ewing for the second time today." In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida laughed.

Ringo Wilson said: "Iron Fist is currently 3 of 1 shots, 2 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 2 steals. There are no turnovers and no fouls. Although the personal offense is not strong, the assists and defensive performance are really good."

Before the bench, Pat Riley asked Mark Jackson to strengthen his defense against Zhou Quan.

He said: "That kid's feints made us suffer continuously. He sent out two assists in a row. We can't let him play like this anymore. We must block him from the outside."

Both Oakley and Ewing were a little blushing, being cheated twice by a man in a row, both physically and mentally hurt.

Mark Jackson said: "Coach, I can stick to him, but his tonnage and strength are dominant, and it is difficult for me to block him. Once he rushes in..."

"You are also being attacked by him now."

Pat Riley said relentlessly.

"Ok."

Mark Jackson had no choice but to nod.

He has no right to say no in front of Pat Riley, it wasn't Pat Riley's promotion, he was still wasting time on the bench.

The timeout ends and the Knicks attack.

Ewing missed a shot, looking back Ulrich also missed a ball, and then Ewing went to the basket and hit a near-basket throw, 18:15, narrowing the point difference.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the left wing, and as soon as he was close to the three-pointer, Mark Jackson suddenly grabbed it and posted it.

He pulled the ball back, turned around and dribbled past the man, Mark Jackson quickly moved laterally, and the two stuck together again.

"Can this stop me?"

Unable to use the three-in-one breakthrough, he simply put his left elbow in front of him, held the ball in his right hand, and started a crushing breakthrough at level 96.

Muscle to muscle, strength to strength, this time Mark Jackson has nothing to do, the tonnage and strength are not as good as others, and he is crushed and keeps retreating.

After three steps, Zhou Quan's advance speed increased, and he rushed to the left elbow area, and he could break into the penalty area with one more step. Oakley had to come out from the basket to defend.

Ewing also had to enter the basket and defend Rodman. In this way, John Sely, the low post on the left wing, once again got an open opportunity.

The moment the ball was pulled up, Zhou Quan suddenly made a backhand pass, and the basketball was passed to John Sely from behind very secretly.

Mark Jackson didn't respond at all, still holding Zhou Quan dead.

Of course, Ewing didn't see the back pass at the first time. When he saw it, he was already a beat behind. At this time, John Sely caught the ball and stepped forward into the paint area, not far from the basket. Two meters, when he rushed over in one step and was about to take off to block the block, the ball had already been shot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and two points were hit near the basket.

"Oh, Tekken and John Sely played very well today. Sely got open shots in a row. He made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points. He was very efficient. He contributed four assists to Tekken alone. said Robert Guida.

"We haven't finished one quarter yet, Iron Fist has 6 assists, and his assists will explode tonight."

Ringo Wilson praised, and then analyzed: "At present, Iron Fist is a point guard, and his main role is to use his strong ability to hold the ball to break through offense, attract defense, and create open opportunities for teammates.

However, his personal offensive finishing ability needs to be improved, so that the breakthrough will be more threatening and the ability to create open space for teammates will be stronger. "

Robert Jeddah said thoughtfully: "During the G1 game, he often rushed to the basket to score or score the ball, so he played a superstar performance. The number of times he went to the basket in the G2 game decreased, so the efficiency also decreased. Performance fell sharply.

And this game, so far, like the G2 game, he didn't get to the basket very much, but he sent 6 assists.

Ringer, do you think there is a problem with the Knicks' defense, or is the Knicks playing better? "

Ringo Wilson said with a smile: "It's all there, it can't be a one-sided problem. But today Iron Fist's sudden pass is very good. If he can add shooting, combined with sudden throwing and passing, his holding the ball will be more threatening sex.

But when his personal offense was weak, he decisively chose to help his teammates score. This is a wise choice. "

The game continued, and when the first quarter reached 10 minutes, the two sides entered the substitution link.

Joe Dumars went off, the assassins came on, and after 1 minute, Rodman and Ulrich went off, Bedford and Mark Aguirre came on, Zhou Quan and John Sely played the whole quarter.

After the first quarter, 25:21, the Pistons lead away by 4 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides were half the main force and half the substitute. At halftime, 48:41, the Pistons led by 7 points.

Robert Guida said: "Rodman played 21 minutes in the half, grabbed 8 rebounds, and worked very hard despite the injury.

It was his efforts that made the Pistons' rebounding disadvantage no longer as huge as in the previous two games. They only grabbed two rebounds less than the Knicks in the half. "

Ringo Wilson said: "John Sely played very well today, made 11 of 7 shots in the half, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 16 points, and was the Pistons' leading scorer in the half.

另外铁拳半场拿到5分2篮板9助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

The excellent performance of the three of them determines the performance of the Pistons tonight, so the Pistons now lead by 7 points at halftime. "

Robert Guida said: "Ewing's offensive efficiency was only 38.5% tonight, and he took a lot of shots. He made 13 of 5 shots in the half, added 6 free throws and 4, and only scored 14 points. The Knicks fell behind, and he was responsible. .”

Ringo Wilson added: "The overall shooting percentage of the two sides is the same as in the G1 and G2 games. The Pistons are still higher, from less than 45% in the beginning to 39%, while the Knicks only have [-]%.

The statistics of rebounds and steals are similar today. The Knicks lagged behind because of poor offense and poor organization. The team only had 10 assists, far behind the Pistons' 16. "

"In a word, if the number one position is weak, Mark Jackson can't fight the iron fist, can't defend the iron fist, not only can't sort out his own attack, but also can't destroy the opponent's attack." Robert Guida laughed.

"Ha ha……"

Ringo Wilson also laughed, and finally said: "Yes, in the three series, the Pistons' shooting percentage has always been higher than that of the Knicks."

In the second half of the game, the rhythm of the first half was still the same. The Pistons did not let the victory slip away from their hands and maintained their advantage until the end.

At the end, 93:85, the Pistons won the G8 game with an 3-point advantage and also got the match point in the first round of the series.

Robert Guida said in his post-match summary: "The first round of the series is a five-on-three win system, which means that the Pistons have a chance to advance in the away game."

Ringo Wilson went on to say: "Iron Fist played for 40 minutes tonight, and the shooting touch has not been good. In addition, because Joe Dumars has increased breakthroughs, he has reduced breakthroughs. A total of 9 shots were 3, and the shooting rate was 33.3%. In addition to 4 free throws and 4 free throws, he scored a double-double of 10 points, 5 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 5 turnovers and 2 fouls.

There were a lot of turnovers, but he sent 16 assists. The assist-to-turnover ratio in this game is 3.2, which is still an excellent passing level.

At the same time, with 16 assists, he had the highest number of assists in a single game in his career. The highest number of assists in a single game in the regular season was 13. It was also the highest number of assists in a single game in the playoffs, setting two personal records in a row.In addition, I would like to congratulate Tekken, you won the best player in this game with this data. "

Robert Guida continued: "John Sely became the team's scoring leader in this game, scoring 24 points and shooting 66.6% from the field.

Salley, congratulations, although you did not become the best player in the game, you are one of the most watched players at Madison Square Garden tonight.

And Joe Dumars, your performance is also good, although you only made 13 of 5 shots, and your shooting percentage is only 38.5%, but today you worked very hard, played hard, made a lot of breakthroughs, and made more baskets than Iron Fist , 7 of 5 free throws, scored 15 points, and worked hard on the defensive end. "

Ringo Wilson continued: "Assassin Isiah Thomas came off the bench for 18 minutes, made 7 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 8 points and 3 assists, and his performance was fairly stable.

In terms of the most critical rebounds, Rodman made a huge contribution. He played 44 minutes and grabbed a very valuable 14 rebounds. The Pistons had only 4 fewer rebounds than the Knicks tonight. . "

Robert Guida said: "For the Knicks, Ewing scored 32 points, but the shooting percentage was not high. He performed slightly better in the second half, but he only shot 44.4% from the field. He made 27 of 12 shots and 10 of 8 free throws.

Small forward McDaniel also performed very well. He scored 20 points and was the Knicks' second scoring point tonight. He took a lot of shots, but his shooting percentage was not enough, only 45%. He made 20 of 9 shots and 4 of 3 free throws.

The two shot more than [-]% of the Knicks' total shots, but scored more than [-]% of the total points. This shows one thing, someone performed worse than them. "

Ringo Wilson said solemnly: "Yes, Mark Jackson, under the defense of Iron Fist, he made 9 of 3 shots. Although he has the same shooting percentage as Iron Fist, he only sent out 7 assists. His organizational performance is far behind Iron Fist.

But there is another one who performed worse, Wilkins Jr., under the strong defense of Joe Dumars, he only made 9 of 1 shots, and only scored 5 points with free throws. The key reason for Sri Lanka's loss. "

At this time, Zhou Quan accepted the live interview of TNT TV station on the sidelines.

"Tekken, tonight sent the highest assist in a single game of his career, what kind of feeling is this?" the reporter asked.

"Gorgeous feeling, haha..." Zhou Quan laughed out loud after speaking.

The reporter said with a smile: "I can see that you are very happy and excited."

Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, we got the match point, especially the match point when the team had injuries. We played very well, and we deserve to be happy and excited."

"Congratulations." The reporter laughed.

"Thank you!"

"What do you think the chances are for the Pistons to advance on the road?" the reporter asked again.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Well, of course we hope to advance to the next game, but the game is uncertain, let's try our best to fight for it.

In fact, if our performance can be stable, like tonight's performance, we have a high probability of completing the away promotion, after all, our strength is stronger than them. "

"You think too much, boy, we are the stronger one, we will beat you in the next game, and then eliminate you in your home court."

Oakley passed by, heard his words, and couldn't help retorting.

Zhou Quan glanced at Oakley, smiled and said, "Charles, how about I give you the opportunity of this live interview?"

"Humph!"

Oakley's nose was smoking, and he walked over quickly.

"Goodbye."

Zhou Quan waved to Oakley's back politely, and then smiled at the camera: "Charles Oakley is very humorous and cheerful. He actually thinks that the Knicks still have a chance to come back, haha!"

After the interview, on the way back to the locker room, Zhou Quan asked, "Dennis, are you okay? After playing for so long today, the injury didn't get worse, right?"

"I'm okay. If you give me a dozen girls tonight, I can at least settle eight or nine." Rodman shook his head and smiled.

"Big bug, you know, you chose the wrong industry, you should go to make a small movie." Zhou Quan teased.

"Ha ha……"

Laughter erupted in the hallway.

"Dennis played really well today..."

Back in the locker room, Chuck Daly made a summary of the game and first praised Rodman.

Rodman's chin immediately lifted Lao Gao, shaking his head and saying triumphantly: "I know I am very important to the team, I am very important."

"Yes, you are very important, very important."

"Dennis, you are the most important one, haha!"

Everyone's flattery and laughter sounded in the locker room, making Rodman laugh out loud, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.

Then Daly praised Joe Dumars again, thinking that his breakthrough today was good, which relieved a lot of pressure for Iron Fist.

When he came out of the shower, Musk raised a piece of paper in his hand and said: "The results of the other three games are all out.

The green team is very strong, eliminated the Pacers [-]-[-], and completed the first round of promotion first.Bird also didn't play, and he remains on the injured list. "

"So strong?"

Although they were mentally prepared, Zhou Quan and other players were still a little surprised. This swept the Pacers in the absence of Bird.

Chuck Daly said: "The Green Team and the Bulls will meet in the second round, and hopefully their series will be a war of attrition."

After everyone heard it, they nodded repeatedly.

Musk added: "In addition, the Suns also swept the Spurs. They are the second team to advance to the first round. The game between the Warriors and the Sonics just ended. They didn't play overtime. The score was 128:129. The Sonics narrowly beat the Warriors by one point and got the match point."

"The scoring ability of these two teams is too strong?" Zhou Quan exclaimed.

Musk said with a smile: "The defense is not good. The Sonics shot 61.5% and the Warriors also reached 55.6%."

Speaking of this, he said seriously: "These two teams have one characteristic, they shoot a lot of three-pointers. Tonight, the Warriors made 13 of 7 three-pointers, and the SuperSonics made 11 of 7 shots. The coaching style of Don Nelson and George Karl , there are really similarities.”

Relo Wilt, the assistant coach in charge of defense, shook his head and said, "How can a team without defense win the championship? If Don Nelson and George Karl don't change their philosophy, they won't be able to win the championship in this lifetime."

Chuck Daly shook his head and said: "Don Nelson's style does not pay much attention to defense, but George Karl, a young man, still pays attention to defense. It's just that he just arrived in the Supersonics this season and the defensive system has not yet been established. He and the Supersonic Sonic still needs time to grow."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Quan, and added: "We are the same, we also need time to grow up."
