God of NBA point guards

Chapter 157

On the side of the Bulls, Phil Jackson warned: "Joe Dumars is the scoring leader of the Pistons, and Zhou Quan is the second scoring point, so from now on, Scotty, John, you two must concentrate on helping the Iron Fist, It is not only necessary to block his breakthrough with the ball, but also to block his offense."

"Where's the pass?"

Jordan asked immediately.

Locking the offense and locking the pass require different defenses. He has to ask clearly in order to execute the coach's tactics more accurately.

A smile flashed in Phil Jackson's eyes, and he said: "Joe Dumars missed three shots, at least it means that he will not be in a fiery state today.

This is what we need to take advantage of. We can let him go properly and concentrate the main defensive force on Zhou Quan.

And you should have noticed that the morale of the Pistons is not strong, and John Sely's injury has had an impact on them, further reducing their confidence in victory.

The Pistons were swept by us last year. You should be very clear that they are a bunch of old guys who have lost their fighting spirit and vigor after two consecutive championships.

Although they have been chanting that slogan, they have already lost their tenacity. This season has seen some improvement, and that is only because of Zhou Quan. In fact, their hearts have not really changed. They are just a group of mixed people. Guys, that's what they are.

Believe me, we can break their will with a big win tonight, and then we can reap our victory at the Palace of Auburn Hills next game and eliminate them at their home court. "

These words immediately excited Jordan and a group of people.

Jordan stood up, motioned his teammates to surround him, and then yelled at them: "Listen up, who dares to relax, don't think about having a good time in the team in the future, and don't think about having a good time in this league. I will definitely mean what I say."

Everyone twitched and nodded repeatedly.

Phil Jackson nodded. The Pistons have lost their momentum due to two consecutive championships. The Bulls now have one championship in their hands, and they may face this situation in the future. Under the spur of his sternness and trash talk, this possibility will be minimized, and the current situation of the Pistons should not appear.

"Michael, after going up, hit a few good shots on Zhou Quan's head, and try to defeat their psychology." He said to Jordan again.

He knows that Zhou Quan is also a young man with a strong willpower and is not easy to be defeated, but after all, he is too young, lacks experience in leading the team, and his control over the game is far inferior to Jordan. The possibility of being beaten at a critical moment very big.

If you are inexperienced and then get beaten, you will immediately lose control of the game completely, and the Bulls' home victories will follow one after another.

For example, in the G3 game, at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Jordan stunned Zhou Quan through continuous steals and high-intensity pressing.

He does not believe that a rookie's psychological quality can withstand the blow from the most peak Michael Jordan. Jordan did not have such a strong psychological quality in his rookie season, and it took many seasons of training to develop a strong mentality. Quality.

He needs Jordan to completely blow Zhou Quan technically, offensively and defensively, and psychologically.

As long as the Pistons are blown out, the Bulls will be able to build up the momentum to attack the championship, and they will be able to launch a final impact on the championship, thus completing the defense.

"Fight it! Fight it..."

At this moment, Zhou Quan's stern shouting sounded from the side of the Pistons, followed by shouts from other Pistons players, and the [-] fans of the visiting team also drank one after another.

He stared at it, and the mental state of the Pistons at this time was significantly different from that of the pause just now.

He couldn't help looking at the auditorium. The next moment, there was a huge boo at the United Center, extinguishing the shouts of the Pistons.

Smiling calmly, he turned around and said to Jordan: "Michael, remember what I said, hit a few good shots as soon as you go up, you can't boost their morale, you have to break them psychologically, I think it's a good idea for them." It's not difficult for you."

"OK."

Jordan nodded and walked to the field.

After the timeout, the Pistons attack.

In the frontcourt, Ulrich was ready to serve from the left line.

The method just used, Zhou Quan ran to the penalty area, borrowed Rodman's body, temporarily got rid of Jordan, and then came out from the top of the arc to catch the ball.

But this time Jordan was well prepared. As soon as he caught the ball, he rushed to him, leaving him without even a small open space.

However, he achieved his goal of catching the ball, but he didn't have an open shot.

Pippen on the left wing quickly rushed to the top of the arc, trying to take advantage of Ulrich's serve and complete the double-team of Zhou Quan from the outside.

Ulrich has no long-range shooting ability, and his mid-range shooting is average. The main thing is to go in and dunk. He won't have any problems if he puts it outside.

Moreover, this is also the tactic of implementing Phil Jackson.

At this time, Ulrich immediately entered the field after serving the ball. Seeing Pippen pounced towards the top of the arc, he immediately cut inward to the basket and was ready to catch the ball.

Seeing Pippen rushing, Zhou Quan immediately dribbled back.

He also saw Ulrich's inside cut. At this moment, he suddenly started forward and broke through to the right elbow with the ball.

Pippen and Jordan quickly pinched, Zhou Quan changed direction to the right again, and pulled to the right elbow in two steps, which also drew the Bulls' defensive attention to the right wing.

At this time, Ulrich has quietly cut to the outside of the left waist, and is about to rush into the paint in one step.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly joined the ball, then got up to lift the ball, and raised his hands upwards.

The next moment, Jordan in the front flew up, and Pippen on the left side held it down, without taking off, showing extremely high defensive skills.

It's not that Jordan's defense is not as good as Pippen, but that he has to take off and block Zhou Quan's shooting and passing angles to the basket.

"Fake action!"

Robert Guida gave a loud shout.

The next moment, Zhou Quan received the ball and was short, blocked Pippen with his left elbow, and threw the ball at Jordan's feet with his right hand. With a bang, the basketball hit the ground and fell into Ulrich's hands.

"Oops!"

Carterwhite and Grant at the basket were all focused on Zhou Quan. Seeing the cross pass, they hurriedly turned around, but it was too late, and Ulrich's back-cut dunk was unstoppable.

"boom!"

The next moment, Ulrich jumped up facing the basket, smashed a one-handed tomahawk dunk, and with Cartwhite and Grant looking up, he slammed the ball into the basket.

"Oh!"

The players on the court, the Pistons bench, and two thousand Pistons fans cheered instantly.

"Fight it, beat them!" Zhou Quan yelled at Ulrich and the others.

"Fight!"

Everyone cheered, and the morale of the Pistons improved again.

Zhou Quan nodded. These old wilted guys have to give them a tube of adrenaline from time to time, otherwise they will be easily wilted.

"Beautiful back cut! In the double-team, Iron Fist's pass completely penetrated the Bulls' defense." Robert Gedda excitedly said.

"8:12, the Bulls don't worry, they still lead by 4 points." Ringo Wilson said.

"Huh!"

"Michael, press 'em."

Phil Jackson stood up, blew the hooligan whistle, made a powerful downward movement with his big hands, and shouted at Jordan.

Bulls attack.

John Paxson crosses the halfway line and passes the ball to Pippen on the left wing.

This time, Jordan went to the low position on the right wing first, and when Zhou Quan followed up, he suddenly ran up again.

At this time, Pippen held the ball to the left waist. When facing Bedford's supplementary defense, he suddenly jumped and threw the ball to Jordan with both hands.

Jordan ran from bottom to top, ran to the right elbow to catch the ball, and Zhou Quan threw himself behind him.

He suddenly turned to face the basket, and at the same time held the ball upwards with both hands, Zhou Quan's body moved upwards and was shaken up.

The next moment, he was short to collect the ball, turned around, dribbled the ball once, and went into the paint.

"Special."

Zhou Quan was left behind and quickly chased after him.

"boom!"

Jordan took two steps into the paint and took off, holding the ball high with one hand, facing Rodman under the basket with a flying dunk, knocking over the Pistons' basket.

Regardless of his own injury, Rodman did not retreat half a step, gritted his teeth and took off to block the block, but was directly dunked by Jordan and knocked over the basket, very embarrassed.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, pointed at Rodman, and gestured for a thug foul.

"Haha, Michael ignored Rodman's defense and completed dunks, and it was a two plus one." Ringo Wilson laughed.

"Rodman tried his best, he has worked hard, and he is injured." Robert Guida said.

Zhou Quan rushed to the basket, pulled Rodman up, and asked, "Dennis, are you okay?"

"fine."

Rodman panted and shook his head.

"Boy, you almost blocked me." Jordan walked from Zhou Quan's side to the free throw line at this time, and dropped a trash talk.

I don't know who this trash talk is aimed at, maybe attacking Zhou Quan and Rodman at the same time.

Before Zhou Quan responded, Rodman's trash talk came first.

He is Lambiel's apprentice, and his trash talk skills are not bad, even very strong. He immediately countered with a smile: "Scotty, you decide for yourself. No matter what you do, I will support you. Excuse me, Michael, you Do you support him in apologizing to Iron Fist?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan, Joe Dumas and others laughed loudly.

"Damn big bug."

Jordan's face was blacker than carbon, he gave Rodman a hard look, and cursed.

Rodman walked to Jordan's side, exaggeratedly shook his hips at him, lowered his voice, and said triumphantly: "I am a big bug, a big bug, I am full of vitality, Madonna is drooling over my big bug, you Envy and jealousy are useless, who told you to be small? I am a big bug, and you are a small bug."

"Haha..." Zhou Quan and the others lowered their heads and laughed fiercely.

Facing the shameless Rodman, Jordan didn't know what to say anymore. Anyway, he made up his mind not to talk trash with Rodman in the future.

"Mine is definitely not smaller than yours. Big bug, I will snatch Madonna away from you." Pippen said proudly at this time.

"What are they doing?" Robert Jeddah asked inexplicably when he saw the players of the two teams crowded together.

"Whisper?"

Ringo Wilson had some guesses, but even he didn't believe it. The two teams might fight off the court. How could they whisper on the court?
"Hey, if you want to whisper something, go down and talk, now prepare for free throws, hurry up." The referee couldn't help urging.

"boom!"

The next free throw, Jordan was affected by Rodman's trash talk and missed the free throw.

Rodman rose up and grabbed the backcourt rebound. At 8:14, the Pistons attacked.

Joe Dumars arrived in the frontcourt, received a pass from Zhou Quan, made a false shot, made a real shot, slammed into Paxson, and went to the basket.

It feels cold today, so go in and score.

Since last year, his scoring at the basket has started to decrease, because there have been more injuries, it is easy to get injured when he goes in, and he already has enough honors, so he doesn't need to work so hard anymore. Playing health balls, his Longer careers and more money.

However, he still didn't want to be a coward.

Under the cover of Rodman, he dodged Grant, slammed into the basket near the bottom corner, and faced Cartwhite with a small throw.

"Snapped!"

Carterwhite slapped the face and missed the ball.

When the two fell, they collided in the air. Carterwhite stood firm on the ground with a large tonnage, but Joe Dumas staggered to the ground, and then fell to the floor.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the hoop.

"Joe, well done!"

Zhou Quan rushed in and pulled up Joe Dumas, shouting loudly.

Staring at Joe Dumas who got up, Jordan's eyes became serious.

"Keep it down, you must fight it down."

At this time, he only had this one thought, and he must not let the morale of the Pistons rise.

"boom!"

Looking back, he fought back, received the ball from the low post on the right wing and played Zhou Quan in a single, then slid to the basket and made a dunk, which again dunked the weak Bedford.

"boom!"

At the United Center, the cheers of [-] Bulls fans erupted.

One is the throwing shot of the shooting guard facing the center, and the other is the strong dunking of the shooting guard facing the center. The difference between the two is very different.

The morale that the Pistons had just stabilized was directly cut in half under the momentum of the crazy straight at home.

Phil Jackson, who had been standing in front of the bench, saw the ball, nodded slightly, then turned around and sat down.

In his opinion, the victory or defeat of a game is composed of many things, such as lineup configuration, on-the-spot status, on-the-spot tactical command, players' on-field execution ability, self-psychological adjustment, and psychological warfare.

Destroying the opponent's psychology through tit-for-tat offense is what the Bulls are doing now, and they are succeeding.

No one in the Pistons can play Jordan's willpower-destroying offense, and there is no way to counterattack on the psychological level. As a result, no matter how hard the Pistons try, their morale will inevitably decline and they will eventually lose the game.

"Boom bang..."

On the right wing, Zhou Quan attacked with the ball, and Joe Dumars picked and rolled.

The next moment, when he burst in, Jordan and John Paxson double-teamed him, and he immediately passed the ball to Joe Dumars.

"boom!"

Joe Dumars, who got a small open space, faced Jordan who rushed back, and missed a three-point jumper.

"Ugh!"

Seeing the moment the ball bounced, he couldn't help but sigh.

"mine."

Rodman screamed in his heart at the basket, took off with all his strength, and with the fastest bullet speed superman, grabbed the offensive rebound on the heads of Grant and Cartwhite.

"here!"

Zhou Quan rushed in from the right waist and gave a loud shout.

Rodman threw the ball, Zhou Quan rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, he didn't care about the presence of three people under the basket, he had to return a dunk, otherwise the morale of the team would be destroyed under Jordan's continuous attack.

"Don't think about it!"

Carterwhite and Grant took off at the same time, blocking the front of the basket like two mountains.

"boom!"

Taking a step forward and avoiding Grant, Zhou Quan slammed into Carter White, who was on the left front of the basket.

"Oh hoo!"

Two thousand Pistons fans cheered instantly.

"Shh!"

But the boos of the Bulls fans immediately drowned out everything.

"Iron Fist, you did a great job! You returned one of them..." the nearest Rodman hugged Zhou Quan excitedly and shouted.

Joe Dumars and the others also rushed up to celebrate, and the morale of the Pistons rose again.

"Beautiful! Tomahawk-style snap, this split is so beautiful! This is a very tough and powerful snap!"

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida roared excitedly, and then shouted: "Iron Fist dunked Carter White, Michael Jordan just dunked the Pistons backup center, and he dunked the Bulls' real center as a point guard. I am confronting Jordan tit-for-tat, never backing down, not half a step back."

"It's really good to block the center as a point guard!"

Ringo Wilson praised, and then said: "But the body posture in the air is far inferior to Michael's. There are movements with leverage, and the viewing effect is average."

Robert Jeddah said with a smile: "Iron Fist's jumping is of course not as good as Michael's. The distance is a bit large, the air is not enough, the air is not enough, and of course there is a gap in the ability to work in the air. This is understandable. But you can't deny his bravery, you can't deny it. His strength."
