God of NBA point guards

Chapter 291 The Scary Big Dream
"Dream has been fooled."

In the NBC commentary booth, Big O laughed and said: "Compared to offense, Iron Fist's strongest should be passing, which is his direct assist ability.

The direct assist ability is the deadliest pass. He can always pass the ball to the most threatening open teammates, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against it. "

Elgin Baylor nodded and said: "Iron Fist is a point guard. Although his offensive ability is very strong now and he is also the team's leading scorer, he is still a traditional point guard."

The Big O agreed, saying, "So that's where he's most threatening. You can guard his offense, but you can't guard his pass."

"Just like you." Elgin Baylor smiled.

Big O laughed, and didn't deny that he did have the qualifications and strength to be worthy of Lord Baylor's words.

Mosaic attack.

The ball still didn't stay in front of Zhou Quan, and Kenny Smith didn't miss the ball right away. He transferred the ball immediately after receiving the ball, and didn't give Zhou Quan any chance to steal him.

Dameng still wanted to go deep and wanted to get close to the basket to catch the ball, but the three outsiders of the Supersonics tried their best to block the downward passing channel.

Horry receives the ball, Schrempf swings his arms, he dribbles a step to the left, avoids the opponent, and then passes to Dameng in the low post on the left wing.

Zhou Quan observed Horry's movements very keenly. When he moved to the left, he saw that Schramf's body had completely blocked Horry. Horry could never see the high position, so he immediately lost Ken Nismith, pounced on the big dream.

Sure enough, when Huo Li passed the ball, he didn't see Zhou Quan's flanking attack, and the ball flew to Dameng.

As soon as Dameng caught the ball, he felt a blur in the corner of his left eye, and a person had already rushed to his side.

"Snapped!"

The nerve reaction was too fast, and Zhou Quan's movements were very fast. Under the precise strike, he slapped the ball that Dameng just got.

"Oh, the ball is broken!" Zhang Lili shouted very excitedly.

"See, you stupid pig! Iron Fist is right, last year was the only finals in your life, and you will never want to play in the finals again in the future."

Behind the Supersonics bench, in the front row, a middle-aged male fan wearing the number one fan turned around and yelled at Barkley.

This fan is the sales director of Microsoft Asia, and also a confidant of Ballmer who is in charge of Microsoft sales. He has played golf with Zhou Quan several times. Barkley is sitting here, but he is always cheering for the Supersonics. I've been annoyed with Barkley for a long time.

On the Supersonics bench in front, a group of substitute players also turned their heads, and they have long been unhappy with Barkley.

"you?"

Barkley was so angry that he clenched his fists, and wanted to punch the idiot's nose in front of him, but he still didn't dare to do it.

"Do you dare to do it? Touch me, and I won't even have a chance for you to be released on bail." The supervisor glanced at Buckley's fist and said disdainfully.

"I don't sit with idiots." Buckley got up angrily, and left cursing.

"Oh hoo!"

Seeing Barkley leave, the surrounding fans cheered and applauded.

"Why is this, Barkley didn't watch it?" Elgin Baylor asked in surprise.

Big O laughed and said, "I guess I'm not satisfied with the position."

Baylor was taken aback, and laughed, "The free second row is pretty good. He and Iron Fist are mortal enemies. The Supersonic management team is not stingy."

Halfway through the first quarter, at 13:15, the SuperSonics led by 2 points at home, and Mosaic called a timeout after serving.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "In the first half of the quarter, the two sides played very fiercely and anxiously, and no one played a very big advantage.

Mosaic did a very good job of transferring the ball from the outside today. They didn't give Zhou Quan and them a chance to steal the ball, so their offense played well.

And in terms of rebounds, Mosaic has one more than the Sonics, and the most is the offensive rebound, which is the one that Dameng dunked.

Dameng took a lot of shots, 5 of 3 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 7 points. He played very aggressively and hit the basket whenever he had the opportunity. Fortunately, the Sonics blocked the passing angle to the basket from the outside. "

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Zhou Quan also played very well in the first half of the quarter. He made 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points, but he sent out three assists within 6 minutes. The ability of direct assists is really strong. Can always see the openings of his teammates and can pass through.

But the Sonics can lead by two points, mainly because of his one steal and one block. If it weren't for his defense, the Sonics would probably fall behind. "

Zhang Lili said: "As I said before, if Zhou Quan can only play one side of the Mosaic team, he has no chance. He must play both offensive and defensive ends."

At this time, the timeout ended, and Mosaic served from the sideline of the front court.

Tomjanovich called a timeout not because he was down by two points, but because of a substitution, Kenny Smith was replaced by Sam Cassell.

In the crucial tiebreaker of the second round series, this rookie left a deep impression on him, but just now Kenny Smith did not perform well under the defense of Iron Fist, so he decided to let Cassell try it.

Zhou Quan looked at Kassel in front of him, and his first impression was that he had a distinctive appearance.

Information about Cassel flashed in his mind. The No. 93 pick in the first round of 24, 191 cm, 84 kg, had three points, but his shooting percentage did not exceed 30%, and the overall shooting percentage did not exceed 40%. Focusing on distance shooting, the rhythm is slow, but often explosive, single defense is not good, and cooperative defense is better.

Left wing, outside the three-point line, Cassell receives the ball.

He has height, has a wide field of vision, is good at singles on the wing, and is good at passing the ball to teammates who run out of position on the weak side, so he starts to rely on Zhou Quan on the spot after receiving the ball.

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He has this kind of mentality now. Facing the famous Iron Fist, a super point guard who is compared with the magician by the media, his mentality is, I am a rookie, and I am not ashamed if I can't beat you. But if I take advantage of you, I'll make a lot of money.

The purpose of his play is of course to enter the three-point line, close to the paint area, and after attracting defenses, create open opportunities for wing teammates.

But just relying on it for a while, he knew that it would not work, the reaction force was too great, and the iron fist's confrontation really lived up to its reputation. The tonnage of 92 kilograms was 8 kilograms heavier than him, so he could not rely on the iron fist.

Very smart, he immediately took a step back off the dribble, wanted to call a pick-and-roll, and then took the opportunity to get to the three-point line.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan's reaction was too fast, he suddenly seized the opportunity to complete the attack in one step, reached out and poked his ball away.

"Steal the ball!"

The on-site commentator Henem Chrisman yelled.

"what?"

Shocked, Kassel quickly turned around to look for the ball, but Zhou Quan stepped forward again at this time, the two collided, and the confrontation happened instantly. He was squeezed away and lost the opportunity to regain control of the ball. Got the right.

"Oh hoo!"

Seeing Zhou Quan complete the steal, [-] home fans cheered, and as Zhou Quan began to go down quickly, the shouts became more and more louder and higher.

Cassel fell behind Zhou Quan from the very beginning, only the lunatic Maxwell, who returned from the top of the arc, returned to the basket first. He flew towards the lunatic.

"This lunatic!"

Maxwell is not really crazy, this kind of ferocious dunk must have a very powerful impact, where he can block it, he immediately dodges to the side.

"boom!"

The next moment, when the explosion of baskets sounded, thousands of people raised their arms, and the shouts of the entire central gymnasium suddenly reached the peak.

Kenny Smith, who was replaced, turned his head and glanced at Tomjanovich standing in front, thinking that it was a mistake for the head coach to replace Sam Cassell.

Cassel must hold the ball, and this gives Iron Fist a chance to steal. This is in conflict with Tomjanovich's original strategy tonight. The original strategy is that the outside ball does not stay in front of Iron Fist too much.

13:17, Mosaic attack.

Cassell is very smart. This time he intends to call the pick-and-roll directly and get rid of the iron fist defense.

He cautiously held the ball to the frontcourt, and then pulled it beyond the left-wing three-point line. Zhou Quan blocked the front and stopped defending. He immediately called a pick-and-roll.

Robert Horry came out to make the wall, Schramff blocked Kassel first, and then followed Horry, and Zhou Quan took the opportunity to catch Kassel on the three-point line.

Kassel was not reconciled to the failure of the breakthrough, so he changed hands to control the ball, with his right elbow against Zhou Quan, and continued to rush downward.

Zhou Quan squeezed his opponent with his chest, and his strong confrontation ability immediately made Kassel a little unstable, and he couldn't move suddenly. Then, under his pressure, he was forced to join the ball, and the ball died in place. At this time Schramf took the opportunity to rush over again and completed the double-team of Kassel.

Kassel held the ball in his arms and squatted halfway, but Zhou Quan's hands still stretched in and put it on the ball, and then the two began to fight.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the ball was scrambled.

"Pretty defense!" Big O laughed.

"Cassell shouldn't make a breakthrough when he fails to break through. He should pull back to the three-point line again. He underestimated the defense of Iron Fist." Elgin Baylor said.

"Snapped!"

Jumping the ball, Zhou Quan, with his stronger jumping ability, dialed the ball to Rodman's head, and the Supersonics got the ball.

At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan made a breakthrough, and Cassel retreated, but at this moment he suddenly stepped back and made a jumper, and Kassel could no longer defend.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was scored.

"Oh, beautiful! The three-pointer at the top of the arc in a small space, Kassel's single defense ability is average, he can't defend against Zhou Quan." Zhang rationally said excitedly.

"13:20, the Sonics lead by 7 points." Sun Zhenping said happily.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

On the field, Zhou Quan said to Cassel with a smile after he succeeded.

Cassel swallowed his throat, not daring to speak back.

The person in front of him was a professional heavyweight boxer, not an ordinary person, it was safer to be honest as a rookie.

After 1 minute, he was replaced.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Sonics led by 8 points. Mosaic called a second timeout, and then Zhou Quan was replaced. Dameng also played a lot over there, and he also consumed a lot of physical energy on both ends of the offense and defense. It was also replaced.

After Zhou Quan went down, Tomjanovich replaced the rookie Kassel again.

However, the supersonic veteran McMillan played well in the last 2 minutes, and Kendall Gill also withstood Mosaic's substitute lineup.

At the end of the first quarter, at 25:32, the Sonics led by 7 points at home.

“超音速能领先，还是依靠周权的几次防守。周权首节6投4中，4罚4中，得到12分1篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误的数据。”孙真平说道。

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "That is, one in and one out, the Sonics took two more shots than Mosaic in the first quarter. This is still the case of two fewer rebounds, otherwise the lead will be more.

The main problem with Mosaic is that it cannot prevent Zhou Quan's attack, nor can it suppress and destroy the organizational functions of the Supersonics.

The Supersonics had 9 assists in the first quarter and shot 54% from the field. Mosaic himself had only 5 assists and shot 44%. Mosaic's offense is still more singles, and his organizational skills are far inferior to the Supersonics.

That is to say, Dameng made 9 of 5 shots and 3 of 2 free throws in the first quarter. He scored 12 points and performed very well. If his state goes down, Mosaic will definitely lose. "

Sun Zhenping said: "Perkins can't defend against Dameng at all. If it weren't for Rodman's several assists and supplementary defenses, Dameng's efficiency would be even higher."

"Rodman's strongest strength is assisting defense and switching defenses, not single defense." Zhang Lili laughed.

The second quarter started quickly. Kendall Gill, who played the first quarter, sat on the bench, and Zhou Quan played to lead the bench.

Dameng didn't come up immediately, Thorpe came on and Kenny Smith came on.

Without a big dream, Zhou Quan strengthened his breakthrough with the ball, attacked three times, scored a goal, and caused Smith and Thorpe to foul once each. He made 4 of 4 free throws and played a wave of 2-[-] attacks within [-] minutes. In one fell swoop, the point difference was widened to double digits, forcing Mosaic to call a timeout.

"27:38, 11 points difference, if we continue to play like this, the Supersonics will win." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Mosaic is a little passive, and the defensive end can't prevent Zhou Quan's offense, let alone his pass.

On the offensive end, Zhou Quan's defense is also a headache for them, and even the key to their backwardness. "

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "The Supersonic's perimeter defense can block and destroy Mosaic's offensive organization, but Mosaic's strong interior defense has not been implemented.

The Supersonics do not rely on low-post offense. The center forwards always pull out to shoot. "

Zhang Lili nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's it. The Supersonic's outside defense has a chance to play, but Mosaic's inside defense has not achieved their goal.

Simply put, the Sonics played their advantage, but Mosaic did not, so they are now behind. "

After the timeout, the two teams replaced all the main players.

Olajuwon took over the offense and pressed Perkins to play. Even if Rodman frequently assisted in defense, he could not stop his offense.

On the defensive end, he blocked Zhou Quan once, and then blocked Rodman's second attack. He didn't block the first quarter, but sent two big blocks in this quarter.

And Mosaic also strengthened the transfer of the ball on the outside, providing shells for Dameng with all his strength, and did not give Zhou Quan a chance to show his defense.

After the second quarter, 53:58, the Sonics still lead by 5 points.

“大梦次节10分钟又是8投5中，2罚2中，半场20分钟，17投10中，命中率58.8%，5罚4中，半场24分7篮板1抢断2盖帽2失误2犯规，表现太强了。”埃尔金贝勒笑道。

“铁拳22分钟，14投8中，命中率57.1%，三分球1投1中，8罚7中，也拿到了24分2篮板8助攻3抢断1盖帽2失误1犯规的数据，表现同样强大。”大O说道。

"Big O, can you analyze the situation in the second half?" Elgin Baylor said.

Big O said: "Under Rodman's defense today, Thorpe's performance was mediocre, with 5 points and 3 rebounds. He should stand up and provide more help for Big Dream.

Mosaic has the advantage of the inside line. If the inside line cannot play a huge advantage, then when the outside line is controlled by the iron fist, the situation will gradually favor the Supersonics. "

Speaking of this, he said in admiration: "Tiequan's ability to break through with the ball is too strong, even if Dameng is under the basket, he can't stop him from breaking through.

Today he only had one three-pointer, and he had a lot of breakthroughs with the ball. Dameng couldn't guard him alone, flanked him, and his pass was very deadly. He had 8 assists in the half, haha, which made Mosaic quite a headache. "
