The next moment, he made a sharp stop and stopped in front of Andrew Lang.

The moment the ball was pulled up, the right hand accelerated downward, and with a bang, the basketball exploded to the ground, pierced through the crotch, and disappeared behind Andrew Lang.

"Ball!"

John Sely under the basket has been prepared for a long time, because in previous games, in training matches, Iron Fist often passed such crotch balls.

He heard a short blast of the ball, and then an orange basketball bounced off the floor and instantly bounced to his chest, and immediately put his hands together to catch the ball very comfortably.

"Bang!"

The next moment, between the violent figures, a violent sound of exploding baskets sounded.

"Iron Fist, you've done a great job!"

After succeeding, John Sailly yelled at Zhou Quan very excitedly.

"Remember, always be ready to catch the ball, I can make you 20+ in a single game!" Zhou Quan smiled.

Suns offense.

Kevin Johnson still pushed forward quickly, and this time he didn't get rid of Zhou Quan and was blocked in time, and the Suns' offense turned to a positional battle.

came to the frontcourt, in order to avoid being blocked by Zhou Quan again, he still used Tom Chambers's blocking to break through with the ball.

But this time it was a positional battle, and Rodman changed his guard in time to block him, forcing him to choose to pass back to Tom Chambers.

However, Zhou Quan had long expected that in the face of Rodman's change of defense, Kevin Johnson would likely choose to pass back and let Tom Chambers play himself in a misplaced position.

He and Tom Chambers have a 20-centimeter height difference, and once Chambers receives the ball, it can form a very obvious mismatch advantage, and it is impossible to let go of this opportunity if Kevin Johnson can't break through.

"Smack!"

So, anticipating, he took a step ahead of Tom Chambers in time and broke the ball.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Chuck Daly nodded and applauded in encouragement.

The Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan still launched an attack with the ball from the left wing.

When he pushed one step beyond the right waist in the paint area, he saw that Andrew Lang and Tim Perry didn't actually come out of the basket, was he afraid that he would pass the ball to the basket after they made it up like he did last time?

And this time, Kevin Johnson has also learned the lesson of last time.

He didn't die, and after getting close to the paint area, he immediately let go of half a step, so that Zhou Quan didn't have a chance to use his strong confrontation ability to crash away from him without physical contact, so as to get enough opportunities to break through and shoot.

Zhou Quan saw that John Seli and Rodman were behind Andrew Lang and Tim Perry, clinging to each other, and there was no passing space at all.

"These two idiots!"

He couldn't help but curse, then suddenly dribbled back and took a step, and then made a jumper.

Kevin Johnson hurriedly stepped up and took a jump block, but the hat did not arrive, but it affected Zhou Quan's shooting angle.

"Bang!"

It's short, and the basket smashes the basket and rebounds.

"Mine."

Rodman's feet were like a spring, he jumped up instantly, grabbed the ball, and threw it at Zhou Quan before it landed.

Zhou Quan took two steps back after making his shot, distanced himself from Kevin Johnson, and just received the ball.

At this moment, he saw that because of grabbing rebounds, the four people under the basket were no longer as close as they were just now, and there was some space.

He saw that John Sailly had a chance to catch the ball, so he immediately pushed forward with one hand, and the basketball flew to the paint.

"It's so high!"

Tim Perry, who was on the outside, jumped a little, and although the ball had crossed the top and was falling, it was still far from it.

Andrew Lang next to him also jumped a little, but he didn't touch it.

The ball went over the duo and continued to fall, and John Sely, who was two feet behind them, jumped up and down just the right height, grabbed the ball, and then turned around and put the ball in the basket with ease.

"Beautiful!"

The smiling assassin sitting on the bench couldn't help but exclaim.

The ball was passed high, just past the first two defenders, and passed to John Sely, which was very accurately calculated.

If it was a little higher, John Sailly couldn't touch it, and went directly out of the bottom line, and if it was a little lower, it was intercepted by the two defenders in front of him.

"This guy, four assists, is not half a quarter." Mark Aguirre next to him whispered.

Isaiah Thomas is not in the mood to speak, and the better Zhou Quan's performance, the less chance he will have of returning to the main position.

Although he gave up the main force and the core, he still had some luck in his heart, if Zhou Quan couldn't play, maybe the management would consider trading Zhou Quan and let him lead the Pistons again.

But now, that hope should be almost nil.

Aguirre glanced at the silent Thomas and shook his head secretly, if it was a smiling assassin two years ago, his sharpness was still there, even if he was killed by an iron fist, he probably wouldn't bow his head, right? Now Thomas is no longer a smiling assassin, but a smiling angel.

At 10:3, the Suns attacked, and Kevin Johnson made a timeout gesture after receiving the ball.

"That kid has a hand in passing, and it's very difficult for me to defend it."

Back on the bench, he frowned and said: "It's true that the offense is not very good, but the assist ability is excellent, very good. ”

He didn't want to praise Zhou Quan, but he handed out 4 assists in less than half a quarter, which can only be evaluated.

He can limit Zhou Quan's attack, but he can't limit the opponent's passing.

Zhou Quan's arm span is excellent, his hands are big, the quality of one-handed passing is very high, he can't stand up to the opponent, he can't destroy his center of gravity, the opponent can pass how he wants, and taking risks and steals is not his defensive style.

If you defend closely, you will be knocked away again, allowing Zhou Quan to burst into the paint area, and after getting close to the basket, he can pass and shoot, which is more troublesome.

Head coach Simmons said: "Then stare at the rest of the guys, so that his teammates can't get open spots, and force him to shoot himself out of the paint." If he bursts in, wrap him up again. ”

Kevin Johnson nodded, and that was all there was to it.

Next, the Suns replaced Jeff Hornacek, who was in average form today, and replaced him with Ray Gongdan Marley, who defended Zhou Quan.

Dan Marley is a swingman for the front guard, with a shoe height of 198 cm, a tonnage of 98 kg, and the speed is not slow, he can keep up with Zhou Quan, he has a good confrontation, his defense is very strong, and he is good at close entanglement defense, Jordan has a headache against him.

Dan Marley's effect in defending Zhou Quan is indeed better, but in terms of strength, with only a three-kilogram tonnage difference, he is still inferior to Zhou Quan, who can still carry him and run into the paint area, but it is more difficult.

In this way, like Kevin Johnson, Dan Marley can limit Zhou's offense, but can't stop his passing.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Zhou Quan was replaced, and within ten minutes, he made 1 of 3 shots and got 2 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Although the individual offense was a failure, his assists and Rodman's performance of 6 rebounds in the first quarter helped the team take a large lead, 27-18, a nine-point lead.

The two sides continued to battle it off the bench, with Smiling Assassin Thomas and Mark Aguirre combining to beat Hornacek and D'Ammarley to give the Pistons a 15-point lead midway through the second quarter.

In the end, the Pistons defeated the Suns and won by 17 points, which is considered a big victory.

Zhou Quan played 34 minutes, and the Suns' outside defense was really good, preventing him from shooting 2 of 6, plus free throws, and only scored 8 points, but he handed out 14 assists in the game, a new professional assist single.

John Seley played quite excitedly today, frequently receiving wonderful passes from Zhou Quan, and scored 19 points in 34 minutes, shooting 7-of-9 and 5-of-6 free throws.

He also contributed two big hats on the defensive end, one of which was given to Kevin Johnson, and played a ferocious defense with 11 assists.

Of course, this is also related to the weak interior strength of the Suns, and the main center Andrew Lang is only a role player, shooting 2 of 6 in 36 minutes today, plus only 5 points and 5 rebounds from the free throw line.

Rodman rebounded again today, grabbing 23 rebounds and was one of the key reasons for the Pistons' victory.

The Smile Assassins came off the bench for 24 minutes and scored 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-3 free throws.

Aguirre, who partnered him, scored 10 points, and the two combined for 23 points off the bench were a key reason for the team's victory.

Back in the locker room, Zhou Quan was criticized, and Chuck Daley thought he had too few shots to get to the fraction of what he should have done.
