Chapter 49: Oakley Makes a Move

Thomas came off the bench and hit a three-pointer on the first shot to help the team pull back three points, only one point behind, and the Pistons were also in full swing.

On the bench, Zhou Quan looked at the smiling assassin on the field, the kind of momentum that controlled everything was far from being available to him now.

At this time, head coach Chuck Daley didn't pay attention to the game on the court, he walked up to Zhou Quan and said: "Zhou, you rarely break through in these games, you are all pulled to the low single, why?" ”

"It's not easy to be caught there!" Zhou Quan replied as a matter of course.

"Is it really not easy?" Daly asked rhetorically.

“……”

Zhou Quan was about to nod, but was suddenly stunned.

Of the eight ball-handling attacks just now, five were in the low post, and four of them were trapped, is it still not easy to be trapped?

Daley shook his head and said, "I know you're imitating Jordan's low-post singles, but your current offensive ability is too far from him."

And his low-post singles tactics back then, after the introduction of the anti-isolation singles rule, were also abolished half of his skills, and did not become his main offensive tactics in the future, he now focuses on breakthroughs and jumpers, rather than low-post singles.

So I advise you not to try too much low-post singles, you can use it to fill your arsenal, but don't use it as your main offense.

When you're in the low post, your interior teammates have to go elsewhere, which actually keeps them away from the basket, and if you can't play the low post offense that Jordan used to have, it's actually a weakening of the team's overall offense. ”

"OK, I see." Zhou Quan nodded.

"But I'm just suggesting that you need to figure it out on your own and eventually develop your own attacking style," Daley added. ”

Zhou Quan nodded thoughtfully.

His biggest capital now is full-level spatial imagination and full-level panoramic vision, so the offensive method naturally has to take advantage of his greatest advantage.

In other words, not only the organization, but also the offense, if you use the space, you can form the best organization and offensive ability.

In the last four minutes of the first quarter, at 33:32, Isaiah Thomas and Mark Aguirre teamed up to overtake the score by one point.

Thomas scored five points on 2-of-4 shooting, while Aguirre scored six points on 3-of-4 shooting, and the two combined for 11 points and full of offensive firepower.

"Judging by the situation in those four minutes, the Smiling Assassins and Mark Aguirre can form the league's most lethal bench back line."

On the ABC commentary seat, Williams laughed.

"They are friends, the 81-year-old champion show and the top eye show. If they are given more playing time, or if they are placed in the main lineup, the Pistons' offensive ability will be greatly improved. Op said.

Williams said: "Halfway through last season, Mark Aguirre took the initiative to give up the main position to Rodman, and after Rodman entered the main lineup, he added defensive energy and rebounding, and finally helped the Pistons win the championship, so Aguirre came to the bench, and it was right, because it was proven.

But Thomas is out of the squad, and I'm sorry, I don't see it being the right decision at the moment, and I doubt it. ”

His words were agreed by many Pistons fans.

"That's because you're looking at the current record, and we're concerned about cultivating Iron Fist."

In a box at Auburn Hills Palace, Pistons owner Bill Davidson muttered to himself thoughtfully when he heard Williams' words on the television.

Now that the Pistons' situation has stabilized, he has no idea of shooting the team, and all this is brought by Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan chose to reconcile with Thomas, and even publicly persuaded O'Neal to reconsider participating in the draft, which also provided a lot of strength for the stability of the NBA, this kind of overall view is something he appreciates very much, and now the team has no second choice, he is willing and can only choose to cultivate Zhou Quan with all his might.

As for the re-introduction of Thomas as the core, McCloskey talked to him, but he vetoed it.

The Smiling Assassin has lost his sharpness, and with injuries that have affected his state, a return to glory is just a good wish, not a reality.

If there is no Zhou Quan, of course, continue to take him as the core, this is no way to do it, but Zhou Quan appeared, and showed strong leadership ability, as well as good potential, then the team should decisively enter the reconstruction, do not be blinded by short-term results, the future is the most important.

At the same time, he is also happy for Thomas, although Thomas made a big mistake, but now he can start from the overall situation and choose to give up the main position, which makes him very happy.

In the second half, in the sixth minute of the third quarter, the Pistons led by 3 points and still had possession of the ball.

Zhou Quan attacked with the ball, took advantage of Joe Dumas's block to get rid of Mark Jackson, and broke through from the top of the arc to the basket, while Joe Dumas ran to the left wing, waiting for an opportunity.

He made his way into the paint and was caught between Oakley and Ewing.

At this time, Zhou Quan saw an opportunity, the door between Ewing and Oakley was not closed, and he could completely break through.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a hit pass and the ball passed under Oakley's crotch.

At the same time, Zhou Quan squeezed between the two of them, the basketball bounced to the ground, and he received his own pass in the previous moment.

The next moment, the empty basket.

"Oh, the ball?"

On the ABC commentary bench, Williams said in surprise.

"Damn it!"

Oakley was furious, turned around and backhanded an arm, knocked down the layup Zhou Quan from behind, and fell to the floor.

"Oh roar!"

There was a burst of cheers at Madison Square Garden.

This season, the Knicks have played an iron-blooded and tough style under Pat Riley's tutelage, which has been welcomed by New York fans, who now enjoy seeing Oakley's rough moves.

"Son of a bitch, Falk Oil!"

Zhou Quan broke his teeth and cracked his teeth, his back hurt, and he immediately got up in anger, and deliberately scolded something that Oakley could understand.

As an ice hockey executioner, his first important role is to be responsible for causing conflict when the team is at a disadvantage, and finding ways to get the opposing scorer off the court.

So he has a lot of experience in how to provoke the opponent, how to cause conflict, and how to make the opponent move first.

To put it simply, to provoke conflict, he is professional.

"Dare to scold me?"

Oakley's eyes flashed, and the insidious instantly turned into ferocity, and he punched over.

"Oh, do it!"

On the ABC commentary bench, Williams exclaimed.

Zhou Quan dived in an instant, his fist hit his scalp with the sound of the wind, and in the next moment, he hooked his right and blasted out with a belly punch.

"Bang!"

Oakley is no less than an amateur boxer, and after his left hand is empty, he immediately dodges sideways, just past the right hook, and then immediately slid back to widen the distance between him and Zhou Quan.

This is the confidence that he dares to make a move against Zhou Quan, when it comes to fighting, he doesn't scare anyone, he is not one of those fools who only knows how to pick up the king's eight punches.
