God of NBA point guards

Chapter 244 Iron Fist Era?

Lightning advanced cautiously, and Iron Fist made 4 steals in the half, which was enough for him to be cautious.

Not only that, Iron Fist blocked twice in halftime, although he was not the one who blocked him, it also made him more cautious in his shots in front of Iron Fist.

But when you are too cautious, people will become hesitant, and your technical actions will not be decisive enough. At the same time, according to Murphy's law, things that you don't want to happen will happen.

On the left-wing three-point line, the Lightning borrowed small forward Richard's pick-and-roll, and then took a step inside the three-point line, trying to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhou Quan and make an emergency stop jumper.

But he was afraid that Zhou Quan would catch up, so his technical movements were not coherent, and Zhou Quan just used this time to catch up.

"Snapped!"

Chasing up from the left back side, he turned halfway in the air after taking off, with a big hat in his left hand, and slapped Lightning's long two-pointer, intentionally slapping towards the center line.

"Oh, three blocked shots, is Zhou Quan addicted to blocking shots today?" Zhang Reasonable shouted excitedly.

"damn it!"

Lightning's eyes were bleeding, and he turned around and ran towards the backcourt.

Mark Aguirre got the ball first, and then passed it to Joe Dumars on the left wing. Joe Dumars took the ball to kill the three-point line, diagonally into the basket, and Dan Marley followed closely.

At this time, Zhou Quan followed up from the right wing, saw the lightning in front of him rushing towards the basket, and stopped at the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

Joe Dumars took off for a layup, and the Lightning jumped up from the opposite side to block the block recklessly. At the same time, Dan Marley also jumped up to block the block from the upper side, but he suddenly threw the ball out with both hands, and the ball flew to the right-wing three-point line Zhou Quan on.

"Pass the ball!" Bill Walton shouted.

"Iron Fist catches the ball, shot... oh, Barkley?" Williams roared excitedly, and finally exclaimed suddenly.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan made a three-pointer, and Barkley rushed up from behind with a big cap, fanning the ball just out of the baseline.

"Special!"

After being hit with a blood cap, he was also a little depressed.

"Tekken boy, how about evaluating my blocking?" Barkley said triumphantly.

Zhou Quan walked aside without saying a word.

Barkley's face was full of smiles, the two were in different positions, and he was very happy to be able to take advantage of Iron Fist.

The Pistons attack and serve from the baseline.

Joe Dumars received the ball at the top of the arc. At this time, Zhou Quan cut in from the right wing, Rodman came out to make a pick and roll, Lightning was blocked, and Barkley switched defenses urgently.

At this time, Joe Dumars passed the ball, and Zhou Quan rushed into the paint from the right waist after receiving the ball. Barkley defended the lower side and squeezed him upwards.

The difference in tonnage was too great, and he couldn't bear it. He slowed down and stopped suddenly, and took a step outside the dribble.

But in the next moment, after turning around, he suddenly took another step, put his hands together, and jumped up facing Barkley.

"Damn!"

Barkley's tempo was half a beat slower.

"boom!"

"Di!"

After the strong sound of exploding baskets, the referee's whistle also rang, and he rushed over and pointed at Barkley, gesturing for a thug foul.

"Okay, after dunking on Barkley, Zhou Quan scored two plus one on Barkley again, which can be regarded as a response to Barkley's blocking of him just now." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Sir Flying Pig, please comment on how I treat you. If there are any shortcomings, I will definitely improve next time." Zhou Quan said politely.

"Want to next time?"

Buckley was so angry that the fat on his body trembled, and he said angrily, "Please call me Sir Charles, what the hell is Sir Flying Pig?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan and Rodman laughed.

In the following time, facing Lightning's defense, Zhou Quan began to attack continuously with the ball.

He didn't blindly rush into the basket to cause damage, but combined breakthrough layups with breakthrough points, emergency stop jump shots, and false sudden and real shots from the outside, making Lightning hard to guard against.

From the second half to the 10th minute of the last quarter, within 22 minutes, he attacked with the ball 29 times, and two-thirds of the Pistons' offenses were initiated by him.

14投9中，三分球2投1中，6罚5中，下半场轰下了24分2篮板5助攻2抢断1失误1犯规的数据。

Under his strong performance, 100:94, with the last 115 seconds left in the game, the Pistons temporarily lead by 6 points.

张合理说道：“今天周权状态非常出色，24投14中，命中率58.3%，三分球2投1中，9罚8中，得37分5篮板12助攻6抢断3盖帽1失误3犯规，他基本上是打爆了闪电，做到了魔术师所说的全方面对闪电的压制。”

孙真平说道：“闪电现在是14投5，下半场6投2中，投篮命中率35.7%，3罚3中，13分2篮板5助攻1抢断4失误2犯规，确实全方位被周权压制了。”

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "I thought Lightning would be faster than Zhou Quan, but now it seems that he is not. He has been seriously injured this season and has been sidelined for dozens of games. His athletic ability should have declined, and his running and jumping ability and speed are not as good as before. .

In addition to speed, he can maintain a balance with Zhou Quan. He is inferior to Zhou Quan in terms of tonnage, confrontation, wingspan, physique, etc., especially in confrontation ability. It is really difficult for him to compete with Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball on the defensive end. Jordan couldn't even guard against it, and he couldn't even guard against it. "

Sun Zhenping nodded and said, "If it weren't for Barkley's performance, the Pistons would definitely have a big lead."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "After being dunked by Zhou Quan, the flying pigs in the air also began to explode. They made 28 of 15 shots and a 53.6% shooting rate. They made 4 of 1 three-pointers and 8 of 5 free throws. With 36 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, Rodman should not have much effect on his defense."

At this point the timeout for the Suns ends and the game begins.

Barkley held the ball on the left wing and singled Rodman.

Time is running out, he must score this goal, and only if he scores can he hope to come back.

"Damn it, what if you can't make it?"

Rodman desperately withstood the attack of the big butt, and Barkley's physical strength was not enough, and he couldn't push in. He was panting heavily, his mind was a little messy, and he was thinking a little too much.

But he didn't have a second choice, and he forced a turnaround jumper.

"boom!"

Missed, the basketball rebounded and bounced straight ahead.

"It's over!"

When Barkley saw the miss, his will collapsed a bit.

Zhou Quan rushed in from the high position and grabbed the rebound, and the Pistons attacked.

He came to the top of the arc unhurriedly, dribbled the ball outside for seven or eight seconds, and then suddenly swayed with one hand, flashed lightning, and broke into the paint from the left end of the free throw line.

"brush!"

Barkley was forced to come out of the basket to make up defense. Zhou Quan, who was in good physical condition, made an emergency stop and threw a shot. His technical movements were not out of shape and he scored a goal accurately.

"It's over, it's over!"

Barkley looked back and saw the goal was scored, the point difference continued to widen, time was running out, and he really collapsed.

Lightning caught the ball and played a fast break, but Zhou Quan's physical fitness was better than him. He caught up and stopped his fast break. He passed to Barkley who followed up. Barkley made a three-point shot from the left wing. Rodman's defense did not Keep up, but still miss.

"It's really over!"

After consecutive misses, Barkley completely lost his fighting spirit.

Rodman rushed in and grabbed the rebound, and the Pistons attacked.

Bill Walton shook his head and said, "It's the time to chase points. The offense can't score and can't defend. This is the rhythm of the Suns losing at home."

"No way, Barkley is in good condition, and Iron Fist is in better condition than him. Now Barkley's physical fitness is estimated to be a bit unsustainable, and the situation is further shifting towards the Pistons." Williams said.

In the last 2 minutes, the Suns missed three consecutive shots. Among them, Barkley missed two shots and Lightning missed one shot. With 6 points, they defeated the Suns in one fell swoop and won the G0 game.

赛后，张合理总结道：“周权上场48分钟，25投15中，命中率刚好60%，三分球2投1中，9罚8中，得39分6篮板13助攻6抢断3盖帽1失误3犯规。

In contrast, Lightning's data is not good, and Barkley made 30 of 15 shots, and also had a 50% hit rate, but at the critical moment he missed two shots and lost the game, so Zhou Quan's performance was even better. "

"After winning the first away game, the situation will be favorable for the Pistons. Even if we lose the G2 game, we will go back to Detroit and strive to win two home games, ha ha!"

Speaking of this, Sun Zhenping was a little overjoyed.

In the ABC commentary, Bill Walton concluded: "The Suns made 10 of 3 three-pointers in this game, and the shooting percentage was 30%, which is a bit low. But Barkley's performance was very good, and Rodman's defense against him was not as good. Not so good.

But Lightning was stared to death by Iron Fist. Without him, relying on Barkley alone and failing to make a three-pointer, the Suns had a very difficult time playing, and Barkley also consumed more energy because of this. Slipped and lost the game. "

Williams said: "The Pistons are still capable of defense. Iron Fist has 6 steals and 3 blocks, and 3 blocks also broke his single-game block record. Without his defense, the combination of Lightning and Barkley inside and outside, the Suns' offense He will play better, he and Barkley didn't have much cooperation in this game, Iron Fist didn't give him a chance."

Bill Wharton nodded and said: "Lightning and Barkley's cooperation form is usually Lightning breaks through the ball and creates opportunities for Barkley, but today his breakthrough with the ball can't break through the iron fist's defense. Barkley is more like Attacking with the ball on your own is the key to the Suns losing."

At the scene, after the game, Zhou Quan shouted at Barkley: "Flying Pig, congratulations, you scored 40+ in the air, and the next game will continue."

"How can there be 40+?" Barkley said angrily.

"Congratulations, 30+ air cuts." Zhou Quan immediately corrected.

"I'll teach you a lesson next time, kid."

Leaving a word of politeness, Barkley turned around and left angrily.

"Maybe I will win next time." Zhou Quan said cheerfully.

At this time, a group of reporters rushed forward and began to conduct post-match on-site interviews.

Asked by a reporter from ABC TV station, he asked: "Iron Fist, I sent out three big hats today, tell me how you feel?"

Zhou Quan shook his head and said: "I hope to cap Barkley in the end, that fat man capped me once, very proud."

"But you dunked him." The reporter laughed.

Zhou Quan laughed loudly, and then said: "It feels good to dunk him, but I still hope to block him once, so that his big mouth can be closed to me, haha!"

"Win the G1 away game, are you ready for two consecutive away games?" the reporter asked again.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I'm even ready for four consecutive victories, but the game has to be played one game at a time. We have to take into account all possible processes. Two consecutive victories in an away game, or two consecutive losses in an away game. One win, one loss and so on.

For us, the Suns are a very strong team, our mental preparation is very sufficient, and our will cannot be shaken under any circumstances.

In the end, we will move forward firmly, and we firmly believe that we will go to the end and become the final winner of this season. "

After the interview was over, Zhou Quan and his teammates bid farewell to less than [-] Pistons fans, and then chatted with the stars they knew for a while before returning to the locker room.

At this time, David Stern received a report that the highest ratings for tonight's game was 2250 million, and the average ratings were 1860 million. Although it is not as good as the second round series between the Pistons and Bulls, the data is not bad, ranking first in history. Three, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with the G1 finals game between the Bulls and Trail Blazers last year, the average ratings were only 80 lower, which actually surprised him a bit.

The absence of Michael Jordan in the Eastern Conference finals caused the ratings to plummet, but the ratings of the finals did not plummet. Is this because of the confrontation between Barkley and Zhou Quan?

He had to think this way, because the Eastern Conference finals also had Zhou Quan, but the average ratings were less than 1300 million. There is no doubt that the confrontation between Zhou Quan and super center Ewing was not attractive enough, or Ewing was not attractive enough.

"such a pity!"

At this time, he has to regret that Zhou Quan is not white or black. If he is, he will create another magic bird era again.

……

"The Age of Iron Fist!"

The next day, the Detroit media shouted that the era of the Pistons had come, and they even named this era the Iron Fist era.

This naming was immediately opposed by many media people and league stars, and their attitude was very fierce.

Larry Johnson took the initiative to accept an interview with the media, and mercilessly accused: "The Detroit media has no bottom line for the praise of Iron Fist. It's too shameless! It's too low!

He doesn't have a championship, he doesn't have a scoring champion, and he doesn't have an MVP. Does he have any hard honors?

Let's say that after he dominates an era like a magic bird. Now he doesn't have any qualifications to say that. Calling the era now can only show that he is a clown. "

Pippen was also very unconvinced. He also mentioned the disappearing Jordan, saying: "Michael has two championships in his hands and countless hard honors. He didn't say that he created an era. Isn't Iron Fist too thick-skinned? The media in Detroit It's really shameless!"

The media in other cities expressed their opinions one after another, and a wave of public opinion against Detroit and Zhou Quan quickly formed, and Zhou Quan was on the cusp of the storm.

"I'm in!"

Seeing these reports, Zhou Quan was very helpless. Did the Detroit media set him on fire?

Before the finals, the wave of public opinion generated by Barkley complaining about the schedule has not yet involved him, but now this wave of public opinion will put him under a lot of pressure.
