At this time, the time was running out, Jordan passed the top of the arc, took the initiative to run to the right wing, and immediately jumped after receiving the ball.

The attack was very rushed and there was little time to adjust.

Ulrich, who has a height advantage, switched to blocking, but couldn't take Jordan's step-back jumper.

At the same time, Zhou Quan also flew to cover it, but it was also a little worse.

"Brush!"

But the ball still hit.

"Ahh

Jordan shot the ball, looking particularly excited, his face swollen red, and he continued to swing powerful fists.

"Oh roar!"

Barkley, Magic, and others also rose from their seats to cheer Jordan's goal.

Ringer Wilson excitedly said, "Beautiful! The ball was too difficult, with a double block, and Michael forced his body to adjust his posture in the air, but he still hit the ball. ”

Robert Giddah also said: "Without great athletic talent, without great technique, without strong willpower and a big heart, it is impossible to shoot this ball." ”

Zhou Quan also had to admire Jordan's ability, and he was defended to the last second, but he still seized the opportunity.

"Boy, I said it, pray to God, it's the only way you can guard against me." Jordan's trash talk is here again.

"Haha......"

Da Meng and the others laughed when they heard this.

"Coward."

Jordan threw such a difficult ball, Zhou Quan couldn't refute it, but Da Meng laughed at him, and immediately made Da Meng become Guan Gong with one sentence.

"Boy, just fight...... Not! ”

Before the angry dream could say a word, he was covered by the quick-eyed Barkley.

"Don't be impulsive, we won't be friends with him, and don't be mortal enemies! There's no need for that, is it? Barkley persuaded.

"That's you, you kid hasn't suffered from him, of course I said so." Big Dream glared at Barkley angrily.

Barkley laughed dryly, "Am I not afraid that I will be beaten to death by him?" ”

"You idiot, I was careless last time, I'm sure I'll kill him again." Big Dream's eyes widened again.

Barkley laughed and scolded: "You bastard, then I won't persuade you, you go and make an appointment." ”

"Am I afraid of him? Immediately I asked my agent to make an appointment with him, and I was going to hit his head as a handball. Angry Dream sat down scolding.

At this time, Zhou Quan began to advance with the ball.

He can actually push forward with a crushing break, because there is always a strong confrontation, and Jordan can't break his ball in that way.

But that kind of breakthrough is slow and the physical consumption is too high, and it is impossible to do that when he is pushing in the back, he didn't do that in the last game.

So this time, he still did a block and dismantle with Joe Dumas, and immediately after the disassembly, he moved away from a wide range of people, quickly widening the distance between him and Jordan, so that the other party had no chance to keep up.

At the same time, after dismantling, Joe Dumas also moved in the opposite direction, widening the distance between him and Zhou Quan and taking Jordan away.

Near the left wing beyond the three-point line, Ulrich immediately moved to the top of the arc, taking Pippen with him and ceding a large amount of space on the left wing to Zhou Quan.

"Bang Bang ......"

Zhou Quan began to dribble and singled John Paxson, and under the crushing breakthrough, he squeezed away the opponent without difficulty and killed the left waist.

Cartwhite made up for it and blocked the left midfield, and John Sailly immediately followed suit, standing underneath and making an offensive cover to block the pick-and-roll.

The next moment, Zhou Quan held the ball and changed direction downward, sticking to the bottom line and hitting the paint area.

His full-level panoramic view had already seen Grant's position, directly in front of the basket, competing with Rodman, and there was room to go straight to the basket, so he flew up immediately after entering the paint area.

Grant's vision was blocked by Carter White, and he didn't see Zhou Quan coming in from the bottom line, and when he reacted and saw Zhou Quan come in, it was already a beat too late.

This is the difference between the full-level panoramic vision and the general vision, the magical vision ability can make Zhou Quan see everything more intuitively, and the reaction time will be more abundant.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, the tomahawk slashed, and the bull's basket roared.

"Roar ......"

Led by the on-site commentator bearded John Lowes, countless Pistons fans raised their arms and cheered.

"The first four offenses were all hit, and the Pistons were in good shape today." Ringer Wilson said.

Robert Giddah said: "Iron Fist and Joe Dumas frequently used pick-and-rolls to come back, leaving Jordan unable to defend the ball carrier, which gave Iron Fist a chance to single Paxson.

If the Bulls don't solve this problem, they will be very passive, and the iron fist will definitely hit the basket frequently, and it is impossible for Paxson to stop him. ”

At 4:8, the Bulls attacked, and Phil Jackson called a timeout.

"Now Tekken is using pick-and-rolls to get rid of Michael, Scotty, you need to step up." After the players sat down, he said to Pippen.

"Switch defenses and let Paxson play Ulrich?" Pippen was stunned.

Phil Jackson nodded: "On the offensive end, Paxson will have the advantage of misalignment against Ulrich, and you can defend the iron fist and don't let him rush in easily." ”

Jordan nodded, he and Pippen should be the most powerful combination of outside defense in the league, stronger than Joe Dumas and Iron Fist, and the two of them should be able to defend against Iron Fist and Joe Dumas.

Pippen was not qualified to object and nodded as well.

"Change the guard quickly, don't drag the mud and water. And try to change outside the three-point line, Ulrich doesn't have a three-pointer, and it won't be a problem to miss there. ”

Phil Jackson gave the players a little more advice and handed over the time to the players.

Jordan said to Pippen: "Scotty, there is a weakness in speed when you break through with the ball with an iron fist, you can take advantage of it. ”

Pippen shook his head and said, "Michael, that's you, my speed and agility should be a little worse than his." ”

Jordan felt that this was indeed the case, he thought about it, and began to pass the scriptures again, saying: "His center of gravity is low, his strength is greater than yours, you have to be careful that he uses crushing breakthroughs to deal with you, you have to stick to him from the beginning, this is your best defensive technique......"

Pippen was surprised, when did Michael Jordan, who has always been arrogant, become such a mother-in-law, is he afraid of losing?

At this time, Phil Jackson finally advised: "Iron Fist has made three shots and three hits, and the desire to attack is very strong, so you have to keep an eye on it." ”

The timeout ends, the game begins, and the Bulls attack.

Zhou Quan still followed Jordan everywhere, and at this time he couldn't care about saving physical energy.

Jordan didn't drill into the pile, just ran back on the outside, and finally used Grant's blocking and dismantling on the right flank, and finally got rid of Zhou Quan.

At this time, John Paxson, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, hurriedly passed the ball, and after receiving the ball, he did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and threw a backward jumper.

Zhou Quan caught up from behind and flew with all his strength to seal the cover as soon as possible.

Generally, in the case of changing defenses, he doesn't like to block with all his might, because he is at a disadvantage in height, it is difficult to really block the ball, most of them are to block the opponent's sight, which can affect the opponent's shooting, even if his nervous reaction speed reaches level 96, it is also that kind of defense.

With a faster reaction speed, his stealing ability has improved a lot, and his blocking ability is actually the same, but his blocking stats have not improved significantly, which is the main reason.

There is another reason, that is, when the cap is fully sealed, because the nerve reaction speed is too fast, it is easy to shake.

But this is the Eastern Conference Finals, this is defending Jordan, as long as Jordan is given a chance, this guy can shoot, so he has to block with all his might.

His cover had never been so full force, and under the reaction of the 96-level gods, he jumped as fast as he could, jumped as hard as he could, stretched his right arm as much as he could, and covered it.

But even so, under Jordan's leaning back, his hand only reached the opponent's elbow, and it was more than a foot away from the ball, which seemed to be an unreachable distance.

At this moment, with his full-level mental willpower, he was also a little depressed.

Height, arm span, bounce ability, these static and dynamic talents, he is not enough to see in front of Jordan, a big difference.

He tried his best to block it, but he couldn't even cover Jordan's sight.

Jordan's eyes were paranoid and determined, his wrist flicked forward, his thumb and index finger flicked vigorously, and the basketball flew to the basket.

If it is the ring finger and tail finger to exert force, it means that the shot is in a hurry, the hand shape is not right, the force is not sufficient, he has no confidence to shoot this ball, but as long as the thumb and index finger exert force, it means that the hand shape is right, the force is sufficient, and he firmly believes that this ball can be shot.

He wants to use an invincible attack to completely destroy the confidence of the bedbug in front of him.

"Bang!"

The next moment, when the basketball smashed on the inside edge of the basket and popped up again, he couldn't help but be stunned, a little less lucky.

"Mine."

Rodman leaped into the space and snatched the rebound with his teeth and claws in a very exaggerated manner.

"Whew!"

Zhou Quan exerted force at his feet, choosing to rush forward from Jordan's right side, running forward while approaching the middle.

The reason why he chose the right side, in addition to being close to the middle, is also because Jordan is a little faster than him, and after catching up, he can only stick to his left side, which will not affect his right hand to control the ball.

Almost at the same time, Jordan turned, took a step behind, and chased after him.

"Ball!"

With a loud shout, Rodman passes.

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan raised the ball with one hand, and behind him Jordan had already caught up half a step, only half a step behind, and when he rushed across the halfway line, Jordan chased to the left side of the line.

"Bang!"

After catching up, Jordan leaned on his body and went directly to the confrontation.

But Zhou Quan's center of gravity is lower, and the strength of his core and lower limbs is stronger than before, so he just tilted his body slightly outward, and immediately controlled his center of gravity and continued to move forward rapidly.

And Jordan himself was also hit crooked by the reaction force, the amplitude was greater than Zhou Quan, half a step behind, and he hurriedly chased after him again.

Judging by this ground matchup, he is going to lose a little bit.

And by the time he tied again, the two had already rushed to the top of the arc, and he wanted to overtake him, but there was no chance.

Zhou Quan took a step past the free throw line, jumped with all his might, pushed his left elbow outward, and raised his right hand holding the ball high, holding an axe to split.

Jordan ran one more step and jumped with all his might, and the height was even higher than Zhou Quan's, and his long right arm was intended to pass over Zhou Quan's body to block.

At the same time, he deliberately carried out a physical confrontation in the air, and the angle of the jump was aimed at Zhou Quan.

He has absolute self-confidence in his aerial confrontation ability, because his core strength is the strongest in the league, and he can play against the center in the air.

At this moment, the eyes of the audience were on the two of them.

"Click, click, click......"

After the bottom line, in the media seat, all the reporters pointed their cameras at the two of them, and pressed the shutter frantically.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the two made physical contact in the air.

In an instant, the aerial confrontation occurred, Zhou Quan was knocked to the right, Jordan's tonnage was larger, the core strength was super strong, and the ground confrontation against him was slightly better, but his aerial confrontation ability was not as good as Jordan.

"There it is!"

Relying on his strong aerial confrontation ability, Jordan pressed Zhou Quan's head, and shouted excitedly in his heart, without blocking, he didn't believe that Zhou Quan could still score the ball in this situation.

"Oops."

The next moment, Zhou Quan was knocked outward.

His ability to stay in the air was not as good as Jordan's, and when he was hit and pressed by Jordan, his body instantly sank downward, accelerating and falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the speed of the 96-level god reaction is indeed very strong, and the reaction is super fast, before landing, looking at the basket, the right hand shook upward, and the ball was thrown from the front right side of the basket to the basket.

The moment he made the shot, under the effect of the 93-level layup technique, his thumb and index finger flicked to correct the direction and angle of the ball.

Jordan was still in the sky, and when he saw the basketball thrown up, he waved his big hand, but unfortunately it was a little bit off.

"Bang! Bang bang! ”

The basketball smashed on the basket, jumped up and landed on the basket, jumped twice in a row, and stopped on it.

"Get in!"

Zhou Quan shouted.

Under Chrysostom's words, in the next moment, the basketball rolled inward and fell in.

"Boom!"

The palace of Auburn Hills suddenly passed through like a hurricane, and the crazy shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Beautiful! 4 of 4 shots. ”

The bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

Zhou Quan also excitedly waved his fist in an iron bowl to vent his heart.

"Shet!"

Jordan shook his head helplessly, this ball can hit, it is pure luck.

"Luck?"

As soon as this thought came to him, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the shot that was bound to hit just now, but was rejected by the basket, and Iron Fist scored this impossible goal, is luck on the opposite side tonight?

"No, it can't be, I'm the God here."

With a clenching of his fist, he immediately strengthened his confidence.

What's more, he has already made 2 of 3 shots, and his luck is not bad.

But sometimes luck is really important, and a little bit is a little bit of a difference.

This was verified in the following races.

He ran without the ball again, got the space to receive the ball after borrowing Grant's block on the right wing, and then Paxson at the top of the arc passed, after he received the ball, Rodman and Zhou Quan clamped him, Zhou Quan also cut off his and Grant's passing angle, he had to choose to force a backward jump shot, the feeling was still a little worse, or missed.

In the next time, under Zhou Quan's desperate pursuit, Jordan had to do his best in every run, and he couldn't enter the penalty area, otherwise he couldn't get rid of Zhou Quan, and he had to use blocking and dismantling in the wing run, just like Zhou Quan had to use blocking to get rid of his defense.

Using pick-and-roll to catch the ball on the wing actually creates a problem that affects the implementation of triangle tactics, and when blocking, there is no triangle on the wing where he is.

The wing he is on, usually him, the ball carrier at the top of the arc, the low post, these three positions form a triangle.

Most of the time he asks for pick-and-rolls when he cuts inside, so that the only person who can provide him with pick-and-rolls is Grant in the low post.

In this way, after receiving the ball, he will either defend himself, or even make a shot, or pass back to the top of the arc, or hold the ball into the paint area.

In fact, it is not a good choice to return to the top of the arc, because in general, according to the tactical requirements, it is the point guard John Paxson who stays at the top of the arc, and Joe Dumas defends it, and let Paxson play Joe Dumas alone, it is better for him to shoot.

And holding the ball into the paint area, and being blocked by Rodman, who changed the defense, and then Zhou Quan will immediately carry out the packing, this is not a very good choice.

So in the following time, he often took the ball on the right wing with the help of pick-and-roll, and then immediately shot, most of which were replaced by Rodman, and in a few cases he would shoot on Zhou Quan's head.

According to his skills, no matter which one he plays, he is sure, none of these two can really face him face to face, and he can't wrap it, and at the moment of shooting, most of the balls, he even has the self-confidence to score.

But the result was that luck was just a little bit worse, most of the shots were only a little bit worse, and the overall shooting percentage for the quarter was barely over 40%, far less than his average shooting percentage per game in the playoffs.

His paranoia came up, and the more he missed, the more he shot, and he didn't believe that he couldn't score in the heads of Rodman and Zhou Quan.

At 20:28, the Pistons led by eight points at home.

Robert Giddah said: "Jordan played the first quarter full, shooting 2 of 2 in the front and 3 of 10 in the back, a total of 5 of 12 shots, shooting 41.7%, plus 2 free throws, 12 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 foul, and only scored 1 point per shot, which was inefficient. ”

Ringer Wilson shook his head and sighed: "In the first quarter, Michael's hand was always a little bit worse, I think it was just a matter of feel. ”

Robert Giddah laughs, "Everything is complex, and it can't be a single cause. Tekken defended Jordan tightly, and Michael had to use pick-and-rolls to get rid of him, resulting in a hasty shot, so I think there was a problem with his hand because of Tekken's defense. ”

"Perhaps."

Ringer Wilson was noncommittal.

Robert Giddah added: "Because of the reason for defending Jordan with all his might, the iron fist of the four shots in the front and four shots in the back has been significantly reduced, and after missing two outside emergency stop jump shots, I didn't shoot again."

In the 12 minutes of the quarter, he and Jordan carried it and played the whole quarter, shooting 4 of 6 in total, and got 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover and 1 foul. In terms of first-quarter performance, he was better than Michael Jordan. ”

Ringer Wilson shook his head and said: "For the time being, but I think Michael will adjust to his condition, his physical strength is more dominant, the more he goes to the back, the more advantageous he is, he is the typical king of the end." ”

Robert Giddah agreed: "Yes, the physical advantage is the most powerful guarantee for Michael Jordan to beat a close opponent. ”
