God of NBA point guards

Chapter 201 The First Round Sweeps and Advances
"You really deserve it!"

When Zhou Quan saw the stats of the two teams, he couldn't help scolding.

Other statistics are similar, and the shooting percentage of the two teams is only 44.3 percentage points apart. The Lakers are 42%, the Suns are [-]%, and the number of shots taken by the Suns is two more.

Losing by 5 points, the Suns only lost by two points, one was Barkley's inefficient offense, and the other was a three-pointer.

Yes, another three-pointer. The Lakers made 13 of 6 shots and shot 46.2%. The Suns did not learn the lesson of the last game. After 9 of 1 shots, they made another 8 of 1 shots with a poor shooting percentage 12.5%.

The main shooting guard Dan Marley, that idiot, made another 5 for 1 shots, and Danny Ainge made 2 for 0 shots. Do these two guys think they are good pitchers? They are really committed to three-pointers!

"So I have to shoot less three-pointers, but I must guard against the opponent's three-pointers. As long as the opponent dares to shoot and defend, it is not far from victory."

In this first round of the series, there were a lot of three-point shots, which determined the outcome of many games, especially the first round between the Lakers and the Suns. Zhou Quan couldn't help but have such thoughts.

His basic three-point shooting skills are still good, reaching a first-class level, but he shoots less, and he generally doesn't use it when facing defenders.

From the end of the Suns, he thought of the Hornets. The next game is the home of the Hornets. Will they make a three-pointer?
He thought about the Hornets' lineup. In the main lineup, point guard Boggs didn't have three-pointers, shooting guard Kendall Gill didn't have three-pointers, and neither did the other three. David Dell Curry has a [-]% three-pointer.

Fortunately, in the first two games, Curry's three-pointers were not accurate. It seemed that he made 7 of 2 shots in total.

……

May 5rd, the G3 match day.

At eight o'clock, the Pistons and Hornets announced the starting lineup.

Hornets: Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, John Newman, Kendall Gill, Boggs
Pistons: Ronnie Secali, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumars, Joo Kwon

At 08:30, the game begins.

Jump ball, Hornets attack.

Boggs quickly bypassed Zhou Quan from the right and advanced to the front court. He couldn't let Zhou Quan get close. large distance.

But Zhou Quan's current speed has reached level 93, definitely not slow, the basketball court is not too big, if it is not for long-distance sprinting, it is impossible to completely increase the speed, so Boggs, who is faster, wants to get rid of him completely ,Totally impossible.

The 160 cm Boggs has a foothold in the NBA. Speed ​​is a point, but it is not a major factor. His agility is the biggest factor. The combination of the two is the capital of his foothold in the NBA.

But the quality of agility, the more complex the environment, the more powerful it can be. So Boggs is very good at drilling people, and he likes to break into the paint area.

However, in terms of agility, Zhou Quan has also reached level 93, and he also has full-level panoramic vision. He is also good at drilling people, and even Jordan can't get rid of him in the paint. Although Boggs is more agile and faster than Jordan, But if you want to get rid of Zhou Quan in the paint area, you may miss it.

This is also the reason why he didn't benefit from Zhou Quan's defense in the first two games.

His golf quotient is very high, and he suffered a loss in the first two games. After repeated consideration and discussion with the coaching staff, he decided to change course for this game.

No matter how good the defense is, it is not as effective as a pick-and-roll. This is the most reasonable saying in the NBA. Today, he will use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhou Quan's pursuit and defense.

He quickly pulled the ball to the left wing and played a pick-and-roll with small forward John Newman.

He can't play pick-and-roll with Kendall Gill, because Joe Dumars is also a top perimeter defender, and play pick-and-roll with Newman. If the Pistons switch defenses, he can play big with a small size. The 206-centimeter Ulrich will completely follow. Without him, if the Pistons don't switch defenses, they can also take the opportunity to get rid of Zhou Quan.

Of course Zhou Quan wouldn't switch defenses, he quickly bypassed John Newman and chased Boggs, but he was already a step behind.

At this time, Mourning, who was low on the left, made a second pick-and-roll, blocking Zhou Quan when Boggs broke into the paint from the left waist.

Boggs went to the basket and faced Rodman with a throw.

"brush!"

Rodman did jump, but missed the ball, and the basketball went through the basket.

"Did you learn from Jazz?"

Zhou Quan's eyes moved, he took the ball from Rodman and pushed forward.

Kendall Gill ran over, and the Hornets still switched defenses. He advanced to the frontcourt and saw Joe Dumars go deep into the right wing to get to the position, and immediately passed it.

This is to let Joe Dumars try his luck. If it works, let him beat Boggs like a G1 game. This tactic is also the most unsolvable.

"brush!"

He passed a lob, and Joe Dumars hit it high, hitting a mid-range jumper over Boggs' head.

Looking back, Boggs repeated his old tricks, trying to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhou Quan.

But Ulrich is not completely useless on the defensive end, just ordinary. When the pick-and-roll happened, although he didn't switch defenses, he intentionally blocked Boggs, which won Zhou Quan a chance. Zhou Quan immediately In front of Boggs.

The pick-and-roll failed, and Boggs could only transfer the ball, passing it to Newman first, then withdrawing himself, and then receiving the ball back.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan stopped chasing Boggs, but decisively started double-teaming Newman with Ulrich.

"Snapped!"

Newman lasted just two seconds before Joo Kwon knocked the ball out of his hands with a quick and precise strike before Ulrich snatched the ball and the pair successfully teamed up for a tackle.

In the TNT commentary seat, Ringo Wilson said with a strange expression: "Robert, I don't know if you have noticed, Iron Fist..."

"boom!"

When he said this, Zhou Quan played a quick defensive counterattack and completed a very explosive flying dunk.

"Oh, the iron fist countered and the dunk was successful."

After explaining the game, he went back to what he said just now, and continued: "Iron fist is very good, no, it can even be said that it is particularly good at striking sports, or striking movements."

Robert Gedda was startled, he really hadn't thought about it, he immediately thought about it and said: "For example, the home run by Angie, the main pitcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers, such as boxing, such as golf, such as... precise Steal?"

"That's it."

Ringo Wilson snapped his fingers, as if he had discovered a big secret, and said excitedly: "In addition to ice hockey and basketball, he doesn't spend much energy and time on other sports. Why can every sport have a career, or The quasi-professional level, I think, is a kind of talent in combat."

Robert Jeddah said with a smile: "In other words, there are still many combat sports, and the level of iron fist should be good, such as tennis, table tennis, volleyball and so on."

"You can suggest him to try." Ringo Wilson laughed.

In a luxury hotel far away in Atlanta, Jordan heard these words and said thoughtfully: "It seems to make sense, that kid's reaction is fast, his hands are fast, and he is very accurate. He really should have something in this regard." Talent, it seems that I can't touch him in these sports in the future, I have to find a sport that he is not good at and play with him."

This thought made him a little aggrieved, but it was better than being slapped in the face. The last time he played golf, he lost a lot of money and lost face.

On the scene, the game continues.

After the trial in the first quarter, Joe Dumars had a good touch today, scoring 6 points on 3-of-6 shots from the head of Boggs.

But Sekali's touch is average, and Larry Johnson's defensive moves are great, scoring 4 points on 1 of 2 shots.

Zhou Quan made adjustments in the middle. Seeing that Sekali's offense was mediocre, he reduced the passes to him and strengthened Joe Dumas's offense. In order to make up for the lack of firepower, he also strengthened his personal offense.

The Hornets also strengthened their low-post offense. Coupled with home factors, they got some free throws. Rodman made two fouls in the first quarter.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, 24:24, the Pistons had the ball.

The Hornets called a timeout, and the two sides began to make substitutions.

Zhou Quan hoped to win this away game and complete the promotion by sweeping, so he asked to stay on the field, teamed up with the Assassins at the back line, and controlled the ball by himself, the Assassins played off the ball, and Mark Aguirre played small forward.

The backup shooting guard Dell Curry was replaced there, and Zhou Quan faced up.

Speaking of Dell Curry, he is also a weirdo. He mainly plays basketball and baseball in the NCAA. He participated in the Major League Baseball draft in 85 and was selected with the No. 14 pick in the first round.

But he played baseball for one year, participated in the NBA draft in 86, and was selected by the Jazz with the No. 15 pick in the first round, and has since joined the NBA.

Curry is two centimeters taller than Zhou Quan, and the tonnage is 4 kg smaller. He has a lot of advantages against Zhou Quan, and there is no disadvantage in height, because his wingspan has an advantage.

Coming to the frontcourt, near the top of the arc, he made a crushing breakthrough, forced a push to the free throw line, and then turned around and stepped back for a jumper.

"brush!"

Curry's defense was average, and the ball was hit with precision.

"Obviously, compared with last season's playoffs, Tekken now has more finishing skills, which makes him more daring to shoot from the outside." Ringo Wilson said.

Robert Jeddah nodded and said: "When the player's offensive methods are very monotonous, the defender is very easy to defend. When the offensive methods are rich, it is really difficult to defend, because the defender cannot judge what kind of attack the opponent will use. means.

The reason why Jordan is strong is that he is proficient in all offensive techniques. Now Iron Fist's offensive techniques have been greatly enriched, so the difficulty of defending him has also greatly increased. "

It was the Hornets' turn to attack, and Curry got the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing.

Zhou Quan was concentrating, he was ready for Curry to shoot a three-pointer, and the main defense shot.

In this first-round series, there are too many three-point shots, and Curry is the Hornets' sharpshooter and the only three-point shooter. He came up to grab points, and three-pointers are the best for grabbing points. , he had to guard against it.

Curry suddenly started to make a fake shot, and after the technical action came out, he didn't care about the defender's reaction, he pulled up his body directly, and made a three-pointer. The action was very simple.

His explosive power is very strong, and he jumps very high, which makes his shots very high, which is one of the reasons why his three-pointers are very accurate.

But Zhou Quan had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't move when Curry made a false appearance. When Curry joined the ball in front of him, and then got up from the ball, he slapped him.

The combination of 96-level neural reaction speed, first-class precision strikes, and 95-level single-defense skills is the reason why he averaged 3.3 steals per game this season.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the moment Curry jumped up, he only felt pain in his hands, and the ball in his hands was knocked off.

"Oh, steal the ball."

Robert Guida gave a loud shout.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan made a second attack with both hands, caught the ball bouncing off the floor, then bypassed Curry, and quickly took the ball to the frontcourt.

Curry turned to chase, already two steps behind.

In the middle, Boggs returned to the defense with all his strength.

But Zhou Quan wasn't slow either. From the left wing to the left elbow, he took off directly without even looking at Boggs.

Boggs could only slow down. With his small arms and legs, how could he really dare to use the arms of a mantis as a car?

"boom!"

Zhou Quan blasted the Hornets' basket with a powerful tomahawk-style dunk, making the entire noisy stadium quiet in an instant.

"Snapped!"

Ninety seconds later, Curry was about to shoot a three-pointer again. Zhou Quan knocked off Curry's ball again, and then completed another counterattack.

From then on, under Zhou Quan's defense, Curry was restrained, and he never dared to take a shot easily.

The first quarter of the game also ended quickly. Relying on the strong defense in the last 3 minutes, Zhou Quan led the bench team to play an 8:2 attack wave, 32:26, ​​leading by 6 points in one fell swoop.

Robert Guida praised: "A second-rate player who combines offense and defense is only a role player, the ceiling is too low to become a star, and the upper limit can only become an ordinary main force.

But a first-class offensive and defensive combination, directly leapfrogging, is a top star and has the potential to become a superstar.If Iron Fist plays a few more seasons and maintains a continuous superstar performance, he will be the next superstar. "

Ringo Wilson is a Jordan fan, but as long as Jordan is not involved, his mind is still normal. Hearing these words, he couldn't help nodding:

"Judging from Tekken's performance this season, the offensive efficiency has improved a lot and has reached an excellent level. The offensive and defensive rebounds are very good. He has indeed reached a first-class offensive and defensive level and has the potential to become a superstar.

What's even more rare is that he is a point guard. Before him, there was no similar point guard in the history of the league. "

"You say so, it's true."

Nodding, Robert Jeddah said: "The Assassin's offensive ability in his peak period was unparalleled, and his defense was also quite strong, but his defense is indeed not as good as Iron Fist, and he is not really a first-class combination of offense and defense.

As for Magic Johnson, his defense is not as strong as Iron Fist. His strength is mainly reflected in the offensive end, which is reflected in his ability to play in five positions.

In terms of the attributes of both offense and defense, Iron Fist is indeed the only first-class point guard with both offense and defense in the history of the league. "

The second quarter begins.

The Pistons still have the advantage on the outside, while the Hornets used their strong inside organization to launch a counterattack in the low post, playing on par with the Pistons.

At this time, one of Rodman's abilities was manifested. He launched a psychological war against Mourning. Through constant trash talk and some body movements, he slowly messed up the other party's mentality. The two gradually began to have conflicts. The action got louder.

In the second minute of the third quarter, the Hornets were still 7 points behind. Mourning finally lost his temper and overthrew Rodman to the ground.

Mourning had committed two fouls before, and the referee only called a common foul for the sake of the Hornets' home court, and did not give a physical foul.

After that, Zhou Quan's offense was directed at Mourning, and he continued to break through with the ball. In the 5th minute of the third quarter, he caused Mourning's fourth foul, and then Mourning was replaced.

This time, the Pistons had the absolute upper hand and quickly widened the point difference to double digits.

Larry Johnson was struggling alone, and his defense was mediocre. He made a foul in the first half. After Zhou Quan strengthened his breakthrough, his number of fouls quickly reached the third time, and he dared not make any moves on the defensive end.

In the 10th minute of the third quarter, the Pistons had already led by 14 points. The Hornets had no way out and replaced Mourning.

Although Mourning commits four fouls, this man's willpower is extremely firm, and he is not troubled by too many fouls. He is still very fierce on the defensive end. He capped Zhou Quan, who went in, and temporarily thwarted the Pistons' offensive.

However, Zhou Quan did not turn off the fire, and continued to attack Mourning without fear of death. Even if he wanted to beat him down, he would not hesitate to eat a hat, and he was not afraid of being pulled to the ground.

After the third quarter, Mourning committed five fouls, but relying on his and Larry Johnson's low-post offense, the Hornets barely narrowed the point difference to 9 points.

However, no matter how strong Mourning's defense is, it can't stop the Pistons' offensive.

In the 6th minute of the last quarter, he slapped Zhou Quan, who was rushing in, with a slap. Even if the referee was lenient, he had to be punished.

He had suspected fouls against Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars several times before, and his actions were very big, but this is his home court, and the referee didn't call it.

Mourning was off, the Hornets could no longer resist, the Pistons successfully completed the sweep and advanced to the first round.

Zhou Quan played for 47 minutes. One minute before the end of the game, when the Pistons led by 1 points, he was replaced by Chuck Daly.

全场20投11中，投篮命中率55%，三分球3投1中，命中率33.3%，12罚11中，命中率91.6%，轰下34分7篮板8助攻5抢断1盖帽2失误4犯规的数据。

That is to say, the referee didn't blow it several times, otherwise he would have more chances of free throws.

In this series, his assists are not too many, because according to the tactical requirements, he reduced his possession of the ball and gave the ball to Joe Dumars and Sekali, especially Joe Dumars, who played misplaced with the ball For offense, there are defenders in front of him, and scoring is not counted as his assist.

"Tekken, before the start of the series, the media thought that your chances of advancing were [-]-[-], but now you have swept the Hornets. What do you think the Pistons did best?" In the post-match interview, the reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "We have the height and took advantage of it to play a better flank attack.

Then our defense is more balanced than the Hornets, both inside and outside, we are stronger on the outside, and Rodman also played his role well inside. "

The reporter added: "Yes, Rodman grabbed a total of 46 rebounds in the three-game series, averaging 15 per game."

Zhou Quan nodded and smiled: "He is an important part of us."

The reporter asked: "The Bulls have an iron triangle, do you think the Pistons have an iron triangle? You, Joe Dumars, Rodman?"

He thought for a while and said: "We don't play triangle offense, there is no iron triangle, all of us are very important.

I was in charge of organization and offense, Joe Dumars was in charge of perimeter offense and defense, Ulrich was in charge of pick-and-rolls and rushing to the rim, Sekali was in charge of rebounding and low-post offense, Rodman was in charge of rebounding and defense, each division its responsibility. "

The reporter asked: "You mean, the Pistons don't have a core? But you and Joe Dumars have always been the core, haven't they?"

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "How come there is no core? Each is responsible for his own responsibility. Don't confuse these two points, okay? These are different concepts. Does it mean that the Bulls only need the three members of the Iron Triangle and not the other two?" ?

In the game, we must pay attention to the focus of tactics. Although there are five of us, although we each perform their own responsibilities, the tactics have a focus and a core.

We focus on tactics based on the opponent's defensive weaknesses. For example, in this series, our offense focuses on Joe Dumas and Sekali. How to grasp this focus and control the progress of the game is the responsibility of our core players. "

After saying goodbye to the Pistons fans, I went back to the locker room. Everyone in the Pistons celebrated and then went to take a shower.

Zhou Quan came out of the bathroom, and Rick Musk gave him the statistics sheet.

首轮系列赛，场均45.3分钟，总共60投33中，命中率55%，三分球8投3中，命中率37.5%，28罚27中，命中率96.4%，96分22篮板28助攻13抢断3盖帽7失误10犯规，场均32分7.3篮板9.3助攻4.3抢断1盖帽2.3失误3.3犯规，真实命中率66%，助攻失误比4。

He led the team in scoring, assists, steals, and even blocks in the first-round series, and was third in rebounds.

Among the five positive statistics, four are the first, the offensive efficiency is also the team's first, the personal plus-minus is also the team's first, and the defensive efficiency is also the team's first.

"It's almost an assist."

There are no other problems, but two assists are needed to meet the mission requirements.

Musk said at this time: "The Cavaliers lost the away game and did not win the first match point. Mosaic won the away game and got the match point."

Zhou Quan asked, "What about the Blazers and the Spurs?"

Musk said: "The Blazers lost on the road, one to two, allowing the Spurs to get the match point."

The assassin said: "I think the Blazers are dead, maybe they will be rebuilt. Maybe we can poach people from the Blazers."

Chuck Daly said: "Not for the time being, rebuilding is not easy. If a team doesn't really have no chance, it won't rebuild easily."

Musk said with a smile: "If the Blazers rebuild, Glider will definitely be traded. If he is not traded, he will also seek to leave the team."

At this moment, Zhou Quan stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, gentlemen, we have successfully won the first round, and the Bulls will definitely complete a sweep and advance tomorrow. The Eagles have no strength to stop them. We will usher in the strongest big enemy.

So although we swept the Hornets, everyone can't relax, we need to maintain our state, and we must not have any carelessness, do you understand? "

"clear."

The players shouted one after another.
