God of NBA point guards

Chapter 410 Iron Fist's state tonight?
At 08:30, the game officially started.

Jump ball, Sonic offense.

Zhou Quan holds the ball and Jordan defends.

Schramf and Jose Hawkins ran directly to the left and right sidelines, stretching very wide, leaving Nuo Da's center to Zhou Quan.

Pippen and Ron Harper still defended on the line, leaving two meters open, about three meters away from the top of the arc.

Rodman swayed into the basket, then retreated to the low post on the right wing, and then went in again after washing out.

Gilliam pulled to the left wing, one step away from the paint, Kevin Willis followed to the left waist, and Luke Langley guarded the basket.

"Hey, is Zhou Quan attacking with the ball at the top of the arc? Aren't you afraid of being double-teamed by Jordan, Pippen, and Harper?" Zhang Lili was a little surprised.

"This is to open up the rhythm of singles and prevent Zhou Quan from being double-teamed on the outside. This is also how he played on the field, but usually on the flanks, but the Bulls adopt line defense, and Zhou Quan is often double-teamed." Xu Ji Enlightened.

"Sudden? Throw? Pass?"

Seeing Zhou Quan leaning over to dribble, these thoughts flashed through Jordan's mind, but it was just a thought. In the next moment, he pounced on him, pressed close to him, and did not give Zhou Quan any chance through active defense.

His defensive strategy is still the same as the previous game, trying to delay Zhou Quan's time and create opportunities for the double-teaming of the two wings.

This time it was at the top of the arc, and he believed that as long as Pippen and Ron Harper were fast enough, they could even form a favorable situation of three sandwiches.

His pressing action was to fire the flare gun for double-teaming, and Pippen and Ron Harper, who were three meters away, immediately rushed to the top of the arc.

"Three in one!"

Seeing Jordan's movement, Pippen and Ron Harper also rushed to the top of the arc, and Zhang Lili gave an urgent shout.

"How does Zhou Quan fight?" Xu Jicheng also shouted.

When Jordan went up to press, Zhou Quan dribbled the ball with the fastest reaction speed and took a step back. At this time, he had already seen the pincer attack from the two wings, and then he took another step.

This second step of retreat made Pippen and Harper feel uncomfortable, because they could no longer maintain a defensive position on the line, and could not cut off the passing and receiving routes between Zhou Quan and the two wings.

Their speed is very fast. When Zhou Quan took the second step back, they had already pounced on the first step, and they were only two meters away from completing the pincer attack. With just one step, Zhou Quan's hand could almost reach Zhou Quan, so at this time It is impossible for them to change direction, so they can only speed up and continue to double-team, trying to double-team in place before Zhou Quan passes the ball.

At the same time, when Zhou Quan took a step back, Schramf and Hawkins on the left and right wings also took a step back in time. Between them and Zhou Quan, the field of vision was clear and there was no obstacle.

Zhou Quan retreated in the second step. When Jordan continued to press forward, his ball was also pulled up by his right hand, and then he turned right. The full-level panoramic vision in the corner of his right eye caught Schramf's next moment, and his right hand took advantage of the situation With a backhand flick to the left wing behind him, the basketball flew to Schramff in an instant and passed the ball in a straight line.

The pounced Pippen reacted quickly, and instinctively stretched out his hand to block it, but Zhou Quan added a turning movement, and once again extended the distance of the pass from him by half a step. No matter how long his arm was, how could he Enough?

"Pass the ball without looking behind people!" Larry Bird shouted.

Magic Johnson saw the pass, which was fast and straight, and Pippen had no chance to return to the defense, so he couldn't help shaking his head, very helpless.

"Snapped!"

Schramf caught the ball with both hands, and the passing position was very good and very comfortable. He didn't need to make any adjustments at all, facing the basket, jumping, and shooting.

Pippen can only look at Schramf five or six meters away from the top of the arc, without any chance to return to defense, or even the idea of ​​returning to defense.

"The vacancy needs to be filled!"

Zhang Lili shouted expectantly.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"what!"

The moment the ball was scored, Schramf threw his fist and roared.

He missed a lot of open shots in the last game, and he really hopes that he can miss fewer shots in this game. He hit the first ball, which made him feel very comfortable and his confidence returned.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan's pass was very beautiful, and Schramf also made a beautiful shot. This huge open space was not wasted." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"As long as you can hit the open spot, you will be successful today. Zhou Quan's passing ability will never disappoint." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Bulls attack.

After continuous passing and running and pick-and-roll coverage, Ron Harper got a small open and received a pass from Jordan.

When Jordan was catching the ball just now, Zhou Quan caught up to him in time. In fact, Zhou Quan's shooting percentage in the last singles game was not high enough. Excluding the offense at the basket, his shooting percentage on outside jumpers was less than [-]%. Pass was chosen for the second time.

Ron Harper made a three-pointer two meters from the left wing at the top of the arc. Hawkins missed the block and the basketball flew to the basket.

"boom!"

Missing a little, Rodman grabbed the rebound.

"Snapped!"

The small open space missed, and Ron Harper hit his right hand angrily.

Rodman wanted to pass out quickly, but Luke Langley blocked him, and the Sonics' offensive and defensive rhythm was dropped.

When Zhou Quan came to the front court with the ball, the Bulls had already completed their defense, and he came to the top of the arc again.

"It's just looking for double-teams at the top of the arc." Zhang Reasonable said nervously.

"As long as teammates can keep hitting open balls, will the Bulls dare to double-team so recklessly?" Xu Jicheng said.

Zhou Quan slowly approached the top of the arc, and his position was slightly to the right. Jordan suddenly rushed up.

Jordan has already made the psychological preparation for Zhou Quan to retreat. He will continue to grab and press, and will not give Zhou Quan the chance to play the ball easily.

But in the next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly turned to the right and rushed over from the left.

When Zhou Quan turned around, Pippen and Ron Harper also rushed over, but their reaction speed was not as fast as his, a little slower.

"not good!"

Startled, Jordan turned around quickly, but it was too late.

But at this time, seeing Zhou Quan rushing in, Pippen and Ron Harper, who had double-teamed, quickly turned around and returned to defend their respective people.

Zhou Quan strode to the top of the arc and reached the free throw line in two steps.

During this period, he had seen Pippen and Harper's return defense, so he did not pass the ball to Schrempf and Hawkins.

When he took the next step to the free throw line, Kevin Willis, who was guarding the left waist, had already moved two steps to the front of the basket and blocked him.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan's ball flew to Gilliam who was one step away from the left waist.

Gilliam catches, three-step wide open, jumper.

"boom!"

I don't know if it's because the space is too large and there is no reference object at all, or if the hand feel is really bad. The ball is too far, and it is too far.

"mine!"

Rodman shouted violently in his heart, moved the card first after accurate prediction, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then handed it to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan felt that there was someone behind him, and it must be Jordan. He didn't make a shot, but passed the ball through the gap, and then passed it to Gilliam.

Gilliam catches the ball a second time and pauses.

"Go!"

On the sidelines, George Karl yelled.

Gilliam jumped up and shot again, and with a swipe, he hit it this time.

"call!"

Gilliam's sweat is down. If the open ball still misses, George Karl might just replace him directly.

"Almon, you voted well." Zhou Quan encouraged.

Gilliam nodded gratefully.

"Rebound! Control the backcourt rebound!"

Phil Jackson anxiously yelled from the sidelines, what kind of rogue whistle is not in the mood to blow it anymore, so he just closed his horn and yelled.

"The Bulls lost the first backcourt rebound, which led to the Sonics' second offense. Neither Luke Langley nor Kevin Willis is the kind of insider who has a strong control over the rebound. In addition, their help defense and supplementary defense The ability is not good, the movement is too slow." Magic Johnson said.

Larry Bird joked: "This Bull lacks a Rodman."

When Magic Johnson heard this, his eyes lit up.

He felt that what Big Bird said was true, and that the Bulls had no chance of getting Rodman, because Rodman's contract expired and he did not renew his contract with the Supersonics in advance. As long as the Bulls are willing to give a big contract, Rodman Deman doesn't necessarily stay with the Sonics.

5:0, the Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Zhou Quan was running after Jordan. Kevin Willis made a screen pick-and-roll. He made a detour in time and was only half a step behind Jordan.

When Jordan ran to the right elbow, Ron Harper passed the ball from the top of the arc. After catching the ball, he immediately jumped sideways, ready to adjust his posture in the air, and completed the technical action of the catch and jump shot at the fastest pace. , so that the iron fist that caught up did not have any chance to destroy his attack.

Even, his take-off has a backlash.

At the moment Jordan caught the ball and took off, Zhou Quan's 96-level nerve reaction speed was fully stimulated, and he reacted instantly, stepping forward like a leopard, and flew past Jordan.

"Seal!"

Zhang Lili let out a loud shout.

"Snapped!"

The moment it flew past Jordan, Zhou Quan's right hand took a slap. Under the precise strike, the basketball that Jordan had just raised above his head was shot flying in an instant.

"Oh!"

There was an exclamation in the United Center.

"yeah!"

Smiling Assassin and the others got up from their seats and cheered.

"Ugh!"

Barkley and the others slapped their thighs and sighed sadly.

"Damn!"

The hated Jordan's eyes were tearing open.

After Zhou Quan landed, he lifted his head upwards, and his vision locked on the ball in the air, which was still in front of him. He accelerated and ran forward, and then received the ball first at a position three meters beyond the three-point line. Ron Harper took a step back.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan completed a block, he grabbed the ball and is going down!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"boom!"

When Zhou Quan entered the paint, he made a flying dunk and exploded the basket.

"7:0, Zhou Quan scored the first goal, and the Sonics lead the Bulls away." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"2 points, 2 assists and 1 block. After two days and two nights of rest, Zhou Quan should be in a better state tonight than in G3." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

At this time, the Bulls called a timeout, and the players from both sides returned to the bench.

Phil Jackson talked about defense first, and said very seriously: "Gentlemen, you should know that defense can win the championship. We can win the G3 game because of defense.

But now we have failed two consecutive defensive iron fists. He passed the ball and directly assisted, and passed the ball after a breakthrough and directly assisted.

Michael, I need you to be more involved on the defensive end, use your defense to create opportunities for teammates to double-team, OK? "

"OK."

The many veins on Jordan's bald head were jumping, chewing gum in his mouth, and then when Phil Jackson was about to continue speaking, he interjected:
"Guys, just a reminder, I think Tekken will be in good shape tonight, Scotty, Ron, your double-teams should be faster."

"Also keep him from passing the ball," Phil Jackson added.

The three nodded at the same time, and Phil Jackson continued: "At the offensive end, one missed a shot and one was blocked. I need you to cheer up, because this is a game we must not lose."

He stared at Jordan, didn't look at anyone else, and said, "It's a game that neither you nor I can lose. If you lose, the boss will probably clean up this Bulls team. I may leave, and you may never have a chance to win the Iron Fist again." .”

The veins on Jordan's head jumped rapidly, his mouth chewed faster, and the sharpness in his eyes became sharper.

Finally, Phil Jackson said to everyone: "One more point, rebounding, we lost a rebound in the backcourt, our rebounding ability is not as good as theirs, everyone has to fight for rebounds, don't let go .”

Jordan immediately reminded: "Be careful of their fast breaks. When the offense and defense transition, the outside line should return to the defense in advance. At this time, the rebounds can only rely on the inside line."

Phil Jackson sighed, this is the difficulty, the Sonics can hand over the rebounds to the insiders, because they have a rebounding leader, and the rebounds of the other insiders are not bad, but the Bulls can't, Jordan has to rush in to grab rebounds.

But the Sonics' offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, and the Bulls are not as fast as the Sonics. There must be enough people to return to the defense in advance, which will affect outside players rushing to grab rebounds.

At this point the timeout ends, play resumes, and the Bulls attack.

"brush!"

Jordan ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball and then made a gliding jumper. Zhou Quan was a little slower and hit a three-pointer.

"This goal is so difficult!" Zhang Lili exclaimed.

7:3, supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan held the ball again and approached the top of the arc. Jordan in the front, Pippen on the left-wing three-point line, and Ron Harper on the right-wing three-point line were staring at him like three wolves, ready to pounce on him at any time.

Two meters away from the top of the arc, Jordan began to adjust his feet, ready to pounce on him at any time.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly swayed the ball with one hand, disrupting Jordan's rhythm of rushing forward.

But at this moment, Gilliam, who was pulled to the left, suddenly started an inward cut.

Defender Kevin Willis was distracted by Zhou Kwon's breakthrough action at the top of the arc. He didn't notice Gilliam's inside cut immediately. When he reacted, Gilliam had already cut in. Successfully, he lost his defensive position.

The moment Gilliam started to cut in, Zhou Quan's full-level panoramic vision saw his movement, so he was ready to pass the ball.

At this time, he had just made a one-handed feint that shook Jordan's center of gravity. The next moment, Gilliam made a successful cut, and he immediately jumped up with the ball.

"Jump pass!"

Zhang Lili yelled loudly.

Jordan's reaction was a little slower, no, it was because his feet were a little slower, he was shaken, and he only reached out his hand to stop it, but he didn't have time to take off to intercept it.

"Whoosh!"

The ball flies over Jordan and into the low post.

As soon as Gilliam emerged from under Kevin Willis, his eyes were looking at the top of the arc, and he immediately saw Zhou Quan's jump pass. He stretched out his hands, the ball fell into his hands, and then he took a step in and took off for a layup. .

Luke Langley at the basket saw Zhou Quan's jump pass, but the pass was too fast, he quickly adjusted his feet to take off and block the block, Gilliam had already completed the layup, and he hit Gilliam's Wrist, and the ball went in.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"Beautiful! Two plus one."

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan has already assisted three times. He pays attention to passing the ball today. This will encourage his teammates to move more actively and activate the morale of the whole team."

"The pass is really beautiful! Gilliam's inside cut is also very timely. The high and low pass and cut tactics of the two cooperate very well." Zhang rationally said excitedly.

In the TNT commentary seat, Larry Bird praised: "Iron Fist is very smart. He knows that the Bulls will double-team him on the outside, and he knows that Jordan will create opportunities for Pippen and the others to double-team through pressing actions.

So he used an active breakthrough to destroy Jordan's defensive rhythm first, and with Gilliam's cut, he broke the Bulls' defense. "

Magic Johnson said: "Generally, he would make a breakthrough after approaching the top of the arc. This time it was earlier, and Michael really did not expect it. The defensive reaction was passive and he did not take the initiative to defend."

"boom!"

Gilliamja made a free throw and Luke Langley grabbed the rebound.

At 9:3, the Sonics lead by 6 points and the Bulls attack.
