God of NBA point guards

Chapter 580 Who is under the most pressure?
At this time, SuperSonics rookie Mason committed a foul. Phil Jackson immediately turned around and motioned for the sitting O'Neal to come on.

O'Neal did not refuse, immediately stood up and ran to the official record table.

"Ouch, this is it? O'Neal is really going to fight for his life!" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

"We played for one minute. Counting the transition time between offense and defense, plus a long pause, it was almost four minutes." Xu Jicheng said.

The Lakers added O'Neal, and the SuperSonics didn't dare to be careless. They immediately replaced Kevin Willis and made a big move.

"Ben Wallace and McCoy are two human shields, and the Sonics are fighting hard." James Worthy said.

"Faced with the monster O'Neal, can we not fight?" John Moore said.

The game restarts.

Low on the left wing, just inside the left sideline of the paint, Ben leaned over and bit O'Neal's lower back with his teeth. Behind him, on the right sideline of the paint, was another human shield, McCoy, Cobra, who might pounce later. Grant is in the right corner, wide open.

According to Phil Jackson's tactics, substitute point guard Tyronn Lue did not directly pass the ball to Grant.

What Phil Jackson considers is that if he directly passes Grant, McCoy will definitely return to defend. The Iron Fist King with two steps in the right three-point line will definitely cover Grant. Grant will only get a small opening, but what he wants is Big open space.

The ball must be handed to O'Neal first. After O'Neal attracts McCoy's double-team, it is then distributed to Cobra Grant.

At the same time, the person who passes the ball to O'Neal from the top or left wing of the arc can immediately move to the left wing or left corner after passing the ball, or he can cut in. At the same time, Kobe must move to the top of the arc to take the Iron Fist King away and prevent the Iron Fist King from having any problems. An opportunity to cover Grant.

At this time, Tyronn Lue at the top of the arc was blocked by Shamond Williams from the downward passing angle, and passed the ball to Brian Shaw on the left wing.

Brian Shaw didn't stop after receiving the ball, and while retreating, he lobbed the ball over Desmond Mason's head towards O'Neill.

At this time, McCoy pounced on O'Neal and decisively implemented a double-team according to tactical requirements.

At the same time, Brian Shaw who was passing the ball ran towards the left bottom corner, Tyronn Lue at the top of the arc ran to Brian Shaw's position just now, and Kobe on the right three-point line ran towards the top of the arc.

Zhou Quan followed Kobe and ran to the top of the key. When he reached the right elbow area, O'Neal caught the ball. When he ran to the right end of the free throw line in two steps, McCoy had already doubled up behind Ben.

McCoy double-teamed along the baseline, blocking O'Neal's slide. Whether O'Neal passed the ball to Grant or entered the paint himself, he had only one choice, to turn up.

The next moment, O'Neal first swayed down, and then turned around. Zhou Quan, who had predicted correctly, suddenly turned around and pounced.

When Kobe saw Zhou Quan lose him, he quickly looked at O'Neal and clapped his hands to signal for the ball.

Unfortunately, O'Neal did not have such a good vision. After turning up, he used his left elbow to support Ben, raised his right hand with one hand, and passed the ball to the right bottom corner.

The next moment, Zhou Quan, who had just turned around and took a step down, saw O'Neal's passing action, put his feet on the ground, and the ball flew into the air the moment it was released.

"Snapped!"

A precise strike with his right hand cut the ball from the air with great accuracy.

"..."

O'Neal felt his eyes blurred, the figure flashed, and the ball he had just thrown disappeared. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide and was dumbfounded.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan stole the ball for the third time. The ball was so beautiful and amazing!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"As if he knew O'Neal was going to pass the ball, he pounced on Kobe after losing it." Xu Jicheng said very excitedly.

The fast break failed, so Kobe jumped down from above and blocked Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan turned around and kept accelerating forward.

O'Neal could only return to defense as quickly as possible without any delay.

Under Kobe's tug, when Zhou Quan reached the top of the left arc with the ball, O'Neal and Big Ben both rushed to the basket.

"squeak!"

After taking one step beyond the three-point line, he suddenly stopped.

"A three-pointer?"

Kobe also immediately braked suddenly.

But it was too late. Zhou Quan's rhythm was too fast. After an emergency stop, he took a step back and then took off with the ball. By the time Kobe took a step forward, he was already a whole beat too slow. He didn't even have a chance to take off and block the shot. I had time to stretch out my hand.

"brush!"

The water splashed and the ball went in.

"Beautiful! Three points or two points? Three points, the referee indicated that it was a three-pointer." Zhang Liangzhi shouted excitedly.

"Seven points, Zhou Quan made two consecutive steals and scored seven points in a row. It is now 29:22, and the SuperSonics lead by 7 points. There are 75 seconds left in the first quarter." Xu Jicheng said happily.

The Lakers' offense was very slow.

O'Neal slowly walked forward and came to the free throw line. Ben Wallace came up to meet him. He suddenly accelerated downward to the right and forward. Ben moved sideways and did not take a defensive position in advance, so he was directly knocked away.

"Get in!" Phil Jackson shouted.

Tyronn Lue had already passed the ball. Before he got close to the top of the arc, when he saw O'Neal knocking the ball away, he threw the ball in regardless of 21.

At this time, the ball was flying in the sky. Looking at O'Neal in the sky, he was about to jump under the basket, but Ben Wallace and McCoy had already jumped in front of him.

The next moment, when the basketball slipped, the three of them took off at the same time. The moment their bodies came into contact in the air, Ben Wallace and McCoy were knocked away at the same time, and the superior O'Neal caught the ball in his hands.

"boom!"

The next moment, O'Neal fell to the ground again, dunked hard with both hands, and the basket sank two feet, almost collapsing.

"Oh hoo!"

At this moment, the fans at Staples Center enjoyed an unparalleled visual impact, and their cheers burst out at the same time, with overwhelming momentum.

"As long as the big shark is close to the basket, he is invincible." James Worthy said excitedly in the NBC commentary box.

"I only have one feeling about this kind of ball, the shock that the overwhelming power brings to me!" John Moore said equally excitedly.

When the two were talking, Zhou Quan had already reached the left elbow area with the ball, and would enter the penalty area in the next step. O'Neal, who was desperately returning to defense, also ran two steps beyond the top of the arc, still running hard.

Kobe no longer cared about the range of his movements. While following on the right side, he pushed Zhou Quan hard with his left elbow, trying to hold Zhou Quan down.

Under the basket, Tyronn Lue had already returned to his defense. He saw that the Iron Fist King was being torn apart by Kobe and was unable to rush forward, so he guarded the basket with confidence and boldness.

The next moment, Zhou Quan took a step forward and took off.But instead of flying toward the basket, he flew downward toward the baseline.

Kobe didn't expect that he immediately distanced himself from Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan adjusted his body posture in the air and threw the basketball towards the basket the moment before it flew over the backboard.

"Go in!"

The moment he took action, he felt very good.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the basketball was hollowed into the basket.

"Beautiful! He hit a gliding zero-angle jump shot. Zhou Quan's shot is amazing! It's amazing!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"9 points, 9 out of 31 shots, Zhou Quan scored 24 points in a row. Now 7:[-], the SuperSonics are [-] points ahead." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Hohohoho..."

When Kobe saw that the ball was scored by the Iron Fist King, the pressure in his heart suddenly doubled, making him gasp for breath.

In the next little while, O'Neal missed a hook shot for nearly two points, and then Zhou Quan missed a shot from the outside, ending the first quarter.

James Worthy sighed: "Oh, it was a tie in the first 10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes, the Iron Fist King exerted his strength and made 5 of 4 shots. The Lakers fell behind by 7 points. The Iron Fist King, like O'Neal in the basket, was simply unstoppable.

But O'Neal can't hit the basket every time, and once the Iron Fist King really breaks out, he can even take forty shots in a game. "

"After Jordan retired, no one can compete with the Iron Fist King alone on both offense and defense. Although the four major shooting guards respected by the league are all good, they are still a long way from Jordan and the Iron Fist King." John Moore said.

Worthy nodded and said: "The King of Iron Fist scored 60+ points in three quarters. O'Neal would never be able to do that. The two sides will compete in attack, and in the end the SuperSonics will dominate."

"Only double teams."

After John Moore said this, he immediately changed his words: "But even the Bulls of that year, Jordan + Pippen + Ron Harper, such a strong perimeter defense, could not kill the Iron Fist King by double-teaming. Now the Lakers' perimeter defense It's a lot worse than the Bulls of the past, and the consequences of double-teaming the Iron Fist champion who is stronger than that of the past are obvious."

He said this, but then said: "But I still recommend double-teaming. Corey Maggette's mid-range shooting ability is average. Leave him open and let the shooting guard double-team the Iron Fist King."

"Bowen's shooting is also average, and the small forward can also double-team. If the Sonics power forward is injured, he can be released, and he can also participate in double-teaming." James Worthy said.

"Yes, just like they double-teamed O'Neal, just like the Bad Boys team double-teamed Jordan, the Lakers can also do everything they can to double-team the Iron Fist King. If they don't double-team the Iron Fist King and let him attack, the Lakers will definitely lose." John Moore said.

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson looked extremely serious and said: "Gentlemen, we have no choice. The Iron Fist King's offensive firepower is too strong. He can defeat us by himself. We must prevent him from scoring.

Kobe can't stop him by himself, so let's go up to two.If two people can't stop it, then three.If three doesn’t work, then four!Five! "

Looking at the somewhat crazy Phil Jackson, even Kobe was very surprised.

He has never seen Phil Jackson like this. Now he doesn't look like a Zen master at all, but looks a little hysterical.

In fact, he couldn't understand the pressure in Phil Jackson's heart at all.

Starting with the Bulls, Zhou Quan has been a nightmare for Phil Jackson. The Bulls he led have suffered countless losses at the hands of Zhou Quan, and now with the Lakers, Zhou Quan is still his nightmare.

Facing the team of Iron Fist King Zhou Quan, he really suffered repeated defeats. Even Jordan may not be as stressed as him.

The second quarter started quickly. There were no substitutes, and both sides directly played all the main players.

SuperSonics offense, in the backcourt, as soon as Zhou Quan received the ball, Kobe began to press, with a wide range of movements, and Rick Fox thought he had a chance and immediately pounced on him.

"Be careful, press in the backcourt!" Zhang Lili said anxiously.

"Double team in the backcourt!" Xu Jicheng said anxiously at the same time.

Zhou Quan's ability to combine man and ball is among the best. The Lakers' double press in the backcourt did not mess up his position. He took a step back with the dribble, then turned around and passed by, getting rid of Fox's double team and breaking out again. Kobe, starting to move forward quickly.

"Whoosh!"

A long pass from the backcourt, when Bowen stopped at the left three-point line, Zhou Quan also passed the ball.

Bowen caught the ball, and Fox, who was back on defense, was still four or five meters away from him. He exhaled and shot a three-point jumper.

"Long pass! Look at Bowen? Oh, it's in, Bowen hit an open three-pointer. This is a big open, wide open three-pointer..." Zhang Liang shouted excitedly.

"The Lakers double-teamed Zhou Quan in the backcourt, and now they have paid the price. If they continue to double-team, I believe that with Zhou Quan's passing ability, the Lakers will continue to pay the price." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

The Lakers attack.

Ben still defended desperately, just not letting O'Neal get close to the basket easily, and the fiercest physical confrontation started from the paint area.

After O'Neal squeezed twice, he suddenly turned around and went around the basket very nimbly despite his huge weight.

Unfortunately, the ball was in Rick Fox's hands. Bowen entangled him and did not let the ball pass in. O'Neal could only leave the basket and return to the left low post to regain the ball.

Fox had no chance and could only pass back to Fisher at the top of the arc.

"Be careful behind!"

"what?"

After Fisher took a step outside to catch the ball, he heard Kobe shouting.

It turned out that at the moment when Fox passed the ball, Zhou Quan, who was guarding Kobe in the right elbow area, pounced decisively on Fisher. Fisher faced the left wing to receive the ball and did not see his double-team. When he heard Kobe's call, By the time the reminder came, it was already too late.

Under double-teaming, Fisher quickly lost the ball, which was snatched by Corey Maggette, and then handed to Zhou Quan, who immediately kicked off the ball.

"boom!"

He took the lead and crossed the free throw line, then took off with a tomahawk chop, and Zhou Quan scored another goal.

"Snapped!"

Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly. He wanted to double-team the King of Iron Fist to the extreme. Not only did it fail to achieve the effect, but he was successfully double-teamed by the King of Iron Fist once. Was this a good shot?

36:24, SuperSonics lead by 12 points, Lakers attack.
