God of NBA point guards

Chapter 199

After the game, on the TNT commentary, Robert Guida concluded: "In the regular season, the Pistons are the league's No. 46.8 team in rebounding, averaging 43.9 rebounds per game, while the Hornets only have [-].

Sekali is a strange insider. The basket is very soft, but he has a good sense of rebounding. The light weight allows him to move faster. His addition increases the control ability of the Pistons rebounding. John Sely strong place.

In addition, the Pistons invested more in rebounding, and everyone worked hard to rebound, including offensive rebounds.

For example, Iron Fist, as a point guard, actually grabbed 7 rebounds, only two less than Mourning, so I think it is a matter of course that the Pistons won the game. "

Ringo Wilson said: "Larry Johnson and Mourning also scored 20+, Kendall also scored 16 points under the defense of Joe Dumars, the offensive end is not lost to the Pistons, the team's shooting percentage reached 46 %, only two percentage points lower than the Pistons, it can be said that the Hornets lost on rebounds, and the number of shots was 13 fewer."

"So the Hornets must work harder on the rebound, otherwise this series may be a bit bad." Robert Guida finally said.

Joe Dumars won the best of the game and was interviewed on the sidelines.

"Joe, in what ways do you think the Pistons won tonight?" the reporter asked.

"Our offense is very threatening, more efficient, and rebounding, which is also the key reason why we can win." Joe Dumars said.

"ESPN thinks the Hornets have a higher chance of advancing in the first round. Now do you think the chances of the Pistons advancing in the first round have increased?" the reporter asked again.

"No, we always think that's not true, we have a better chance of qualifying." Joe Dumas said firmly.

"What do you think of Tekken's performance tonight?" the reporter asked again.

Joe Dumars laughed and said: "I think with his performance, he was the best guy tonight. He organized our offense perfectly, passed the ball to the most suitable people, and let them play. Efficient offense, he's a real top passer."

At this time, Zhou Quan had already sent his girlfriend away and asked her to drive home first. It would take him two hours before he could leave the Palace of Auburn Hills.

In today's game, he didn't make many breakthroughs, they were all outside jumpers, and Kendall Gill didn't guard him.

The reason why he didn't break through was because there was Mourning, who averaged 3.5 blocks per game, and he might get a shot if he went in. Second, Sekali and Joe Dumars had high offensive efficiency, so he didn't need to go in.

"Iron Fist, they're all done."

Back in the locker room, Musk told him that the other three games were over. The Cavaliers beat the Green Team at home, and Mosaic beat the Clippers at home.

Seeing that Musk only talked about two games, he asked, "What about the Blazers and Spurs, haven't they finished yet?"

Musk said with a smile: "The game is over, the Blazers played at home, 87:86, and lost by one point."

"what?"

Not only Zhou Quan was a little surprised, but everyone else was also the same.

But it's just a little bit surprising. The Spurs are not weak. They are only one place lower than the Blazers in the regular season. Winning the Blazers is not an upset.

The Blazers are fourth in the Western Conference. After failing to win the championship last season, their strength has declined this season and they have already fallen out of the first rank.

The assassin thought for a while and said: "The Jazz is okay, Mosaic's performance is not bad, the Trail Blazers are not good, I think the West may be the Suns, Jazz, and Mosaic. The three teams have the most hope of reaching the finals."

"Almost." Zhou Quan nodded.

Musk said with a smile: "Both the Blazers and the Spurs have strong defense, and the points are not high. The Blazers lost 9 rebounds."

"So we must continue to maintain our advantage in rebounding, and we cannot follow in the footsteps of the Blazers and Hornets." Zhou Quan said immediately, and his teammates also nodded.

Musk also said: "In fact, David Robinson's performance is not good. He only made 20 of 6 shots and only 30% of his field goals. Their best performance was Sean Elliott, with 57.1% of his field goals and 14% of his field goals. He made 8 shots.

The Blazers should also lose. At home, the number of free throws was as high as 38, 18 more than the Spurs, but only 22 free throws were made, and the shooting percentage was only 57.9%. "

"How many of us?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.

Musk didn't need to look at the data, and immediately said: "22 times, Hornets 18 times, we have 4 more. But tonight we have less offense at the basket, mostly outside jumpers, causing little damage, and not many free throws are normal. "

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, the atmosphere of the Hornets was a bit gloomy.

This game made them feel very aggrieved. The Pistons stared at their two low-point offenses. One was Boggs and the other was Larry Johnson. bitter fruit.

Then, the high degree of flaws cost them a lot of rebounding.

After all, the height of the inner line is not enough.

Head coach Alan Bristow is very envious of the Pistons having a Rodman, with that height, who can grab so many rebounds.

Of course, he is not complaining about Larry Johnson and Mourning. His two generals are not only responsible for rebounding like Rodman. If the Pistons are willing to use Rodman to trade one of these two, he will sneer of.

He has no idea how to play the next game.

It is true that the Pistons won two games in the regular season. How to win depends on the feel. I feel good, and then when the Pistons feel bad, I can win.

In order to boost morale, he opened his mouth and said: "Gentlemen, don't be discouraged, calm down, we have a chance.

You have to notice that they didn't have any offense at the basket today, mainly due to Ulrich's several cuts, no breakthrough from the outside line, including center Seca, all of them were outside jumpers. They won today because they feel good, Seka Leigh and Joe Dumars both shoot over [-] percent from the field, but can they make that many shots per game?impossible. "

When he said this, the atmosphere in the locker room was indeed more lively.

He also said: "We have Alonzo, he is at the basket, no one in the Pistons dares to come in, including Iron Fist, they only dare to shoot from the outside, that soft guy Sekali also only throws outside, and this This is our chance.

Alonzo, you are our iron-blooded shield. I need your help in the G2 game. You have to control the outside shots of Joe Dumas and Sekali, especially Sekali. His shooting position is on the left waist A bit outside, not far from the basket, I believe you can do it, you have the ability. "

Mourning nodded very calmly and said, "I see, coach."

Larry Johnson snorted coldly in his heart, a little unconvinced, but it is also true that his defense is not as good as Mourning.

Bristol added: "In the next game, we will continue to play the defensive strength around the basket, block the opponent's breakthrough attack, and grab rebounds at the same time. As long as their hand feeling declines, our opportunity will come.

And our offense relies more on the basket, they can't compete at all, our offensive efficiency is guaranteed, so our state will be more stable than theirs, this is our opportunity.Give me stability, this is a series, whoever is more stable will have a better chance. "

On the 30th, another four G1 games will start.

Chicago United Center, in the locker room of the home team, Phil Jackson is giving his final instructions: "Rebounds, every player must fight for rebounds, it is our lifeline. You must remember the lessons of the Hornets and Trail Blazers, they will Lost on rebounds."

In the end, the Bulls beat the Eagles by 24 points at home and scored 114 points. Jordan shot 57.7% from the field and scored 35 points without a single turnover, but he also had no steals or blocks. His attitude was very fiery.

On the contrary, Pippen played poorly, only 15 of 4 shots, and only scored 10 points and 6 assists.

But the key to the Bulls' victory over the Eagles was not the offense, but the rebounds. They grabbed 62 rebounds from the Eagles and only allowed the Eagles to grab 28. The gap was terrible.

The Bulls rotated 12, and everyone grabbed rebounds, Jordan 7, Carterwhite 6, Pippen 5, Grant 10, Wilperdo 9, Williams 7, and so on.

As for the Eagles, the player with the most rebounds only grabbed five. The two insiders had an absolute advantage in height, but they only grabbed 10 rebounds together.

In addition, the Bulls sent 37 assists, while the Eagles only had 17, which shows how inefficient their organizational skills and offensive efficiency are.

After watching the game, Zhou Quan became even more scruples about the Bulls.

The Knicks also won easily against the Nets in another Eastern Conference game.

In the West, the Supersonics beat the Jazz at home, but the Suns were upset at home and lost to the Lakers.

Zhou Quan switched to the Suns right after the Bulls game, just in time to see the Suns lose, the score was 107:103, a loss of four points, and the commentator was doing post-game analysis.

The Suns did not lose in rebounds, nor did they lose in assists, steals and blocks, but in shooting.

The team's shooting percentage is 48.3%, which is not bad, but the Lakers are as high as 54.2%.

Among them, the one that killed the Suns was the three-pointer. He made only 11 of 1 shots and a 9.1% shooting rate.

The culprits of the three-pointers are only two people. The Suns have two players who have shot three-pointers, and no one else has.

The main shooting guard Dan Marley made 6 of 0 three-pointers, and the substitute Danny Ainge made 5 of 1 three-pointers. The two teamed up to ruin the game.

Charles Barkley made 16 of 12 shots, shot 75% from the field, scored 34 points, and failed to save the team.

Zhou Quan took it as a warning, and he should not throw three-pointers randomly in the future. His hand feels cold, and his opponent's defense is a little better. No matter how good his basic skills are, it is useless.

He also admires the two idiots Dan Marley and Danny Ainge. They pass the ball when they can't get in, and they persistently throw three-pointers. The courage is really commendable. Is this trying to make Barkley despair?

At this time, in Phoenix, in the Suns locker room, Barkley was so angry that his two black eye sockets had begun to turn green.

But he was a newcomer, and he didn't dare to quarrel with Dan Marley and the others. He could only stare at the ceiling. The baby felt bitter and only swallowed.

On May 5st, the media crazily praised the Bulls, and at the same time crazily criticized the Suns. The two biggest favorites to win the championship encountered completely different treatment.

"The Lakers will complete the Black Eight feat!" Los Angeles Daily.

"The Bulls are aiming for three consecutive championships, Michael Jordan will create the first dynasty of the new era!" Chicago Daily.

That night, the G2 battle started.

Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pistons still play according to the tactics of the G1 game.

After halftime, 54:54, a tie.

Joe Dumars made 13 of 5 shots in the first half, a 38.5 percent shooting percentage, which is not bad.

Facing Boggs with such an offensive efficiency, it is a failing performance. The main problem is that in the 4th minute of the first quarter, Mourning threw himself out and blocked him once, and Mourning made consecutive high-quality help defenses behind him. Affected his offense and reduced his hit rate.

For the same problem, Mourning also strengthened his defense against Sekali, and blocked him twice in the half. In addition, Larry Johnson increased his defensive strength. Sekali made 8 of 3 shots in the first half and hit The rate is only 37.5%.

And Larry Johnson and Mourning strengthened the low-post attack, causing damage to the Pistons inside. The Hornets scored 15 free throws in the first half, and the Pistons had only 10.

In the G1 game, the two strong points with a shooting percentage of more than 6% were not good for offense. Fortunately, they had good rebounds and maintained their advantage, [-] more than the Hornets, otherwise they might fall behind in the first half.

Zhou Quan singled out Kendall Gill, made 7 of 4 shots in the first half, hit 57.1%, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 10 points, sent 5 steals and 4 assists, did not make a mistake, and grabbed [-] rebound.

Back in the locker room, Chuck Daly said to Zhou Quan: "Zhou, in the second half, you need to strengthen your breakthrough with the ball and improve our offensive efficiency."

Zhou Quan nodded. The Hornets shot 43% in the first half, while the Pistons shot only 40%, a difference of three percentage points.

"Orlando, Joe, the two of you play pick-and-roll with Zhou, and roll down when you have the opportunity. Ronnie, you pull up to the high position and play pick-and-roll with Zhou, stay in the high position, and play Kendall Gill out of position."

Chuck Daly said to Ulrich, Joe Dumars, and Sekali again.

"On the defensive end, Zhou, you have to go in as much as possible to help defend, we have no other defensive strength." He said to Zhou Quan again.

"understood."

Zhou Quan nodded. On the outside, Ulrich's defense was not good. Joe Dumars could only defend the outside.

Not long after, the third quarter began and the Hornets attacked.

Boggs used his speed to break through Zhouquan and entered the paint area.

Zhou Quan chased and defended calmly, like a patient fox, chasing and killing the fleeing mouse from the forest.

Boggs swooped left and right, went in from the left elbow, and came out from the low post on the right wing. After disrupting the Pistons' restricted area, he pulled to the right wing, and then passed to Kendall Gill who ran out of space.

Jill ran to the three-point line at the [-]-degree position on the right wing and received the ball. He made a gesture of getting up and shooting, and then got short, but it was a fake action.

"Oops!"

The next moment, Joe Dumars, who jumped down from above, flew up and flew in front of Kendall Gill.

The next moment, Jill was up again, this time really jumping.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan threw Boggs, rushed from the front very quickly, jumped up after a step, raised his right arm high, and blocked the block with one hand.

"what?"

Kendaljill was startled, but his attack was irreversible, so he could only bite the bullet and make a move.

In fact, blocking shots also belongs to the scope of attacking sports. Zhou Quan's blocking shots are also very accurate, but he usually doesn't spend energy to block shots.

This time, his right hand precisely landed under the basketball, and he didn't use much strength, just lightly raised the ball.

The next moment, he landed in front of Jill, turned around and got stuck, and then took off for the second time to catch the falling ball.

"Clap clap clap..."

Immediately, the Palace of Auburn Hills applauded the seal.

The bearded John Rowes shouted excitedly: "Great job! Iron Fist completed a block and grabbed the ball."

"Joe is playing fast, pass the ball with Iron Fist." The bespectacled dragon Glenn Si shouted.

Joe Dumars received the ball halfway, the Hornets couldn't get back and hit a layup.

54:56, the Hornets attack.

Larry Johnson in the low post on the right received the ball and hit Rodman with his back.

"boom!"

Rodman defended with all his strength, and Larry Johnson saw that it was a bit difficult to get in, so he immediately turned over and shot a jumper, but he missed.

"Snapped!"

Ronnie Seikali's position is more dominant than Mourning's, protecting the backcourt rebound.

Zhou Quan received the ball and pushed forward. Just as he turned around, Boggs rushed up and grabbed his arms directly to grab the ball from him.

But how fast his nerve reaction is, at level 96, it is estimated that few people in the league can react faster than him.

In an instant, he made an extremely quick turn around, overtook Boggs, and then accelerated forward.

The Hornets returned to the defense with all their strength, but even Kendall Gill was not as fast as Zhou Quan. He rode alone in front of the two teams and went straight to the basket.

Boggs regretted it. He shouldn't have taken the risk of stealing just now. Once he was attacked, there was no one in front of him.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan rushed into the paint area and flew up. It was a powerful tomahawk-style dunk that detonated the Palace of Auburn Hills.
