On the field, Paxson advanced to the front court, then handed it to Pippen on the left wing, and immediately ran to the bottom left corner.

This time, Jordan did not use the absolute speed advantage of the middle and long distances to get rid of Zhou Quan like last time, he came to the low post on the right wing and stood with his back to Zhou Quan to ask for the ball.

He wanted to show the bastard that he had a hundred ways to blow him up.

In the last game, he felt that he was a little out of mind, he only knew how to run, only knew how to borrow and pick up the ball, but he ignored his best low-post back play.

When everyone is stationed, there is no advantage or disadvantage in moving, and his confrontation is definitely not weaker than Zhou Quan, so Zhou Quan can't stop him from receiving the ball.

Grant gave up the low post to Jordan and immediately ran to the free throw line, so that he and Michael Jordan formed two corners in the triangle on the weak side, plus Pippen, the ball carrier on the strong side, it was a complete triangle offensive formation.

On the strong side, John Paxson in the bottom corner, Cartwhite in the low post on the left wing, plus Pippen, is another triangle.

Such a position also pulls the Pistons' defensive formation to the left wing, and Jordan on the weak side of the right wing can't easily and completely wrap it up.

As long as Jordan receives the ball, his back-to-back shot can be completed in just 1.5 seconds, and under the rule that you can't trap the off-ball in advance, this is the single opportunity that the triangle strategy creates for him.

Pippen saw that Jordan was about to get to the position, and immediately passed the ball to Grant at the free throw line, and Grant stopped and passed the ball directly to Jordan.

Jordan received the ball, leaned back on Zhou Quan, and then turned around and made a backward jumper, and there was nothing superfluous in the whole technical action, which was concise and gorgeous.

Zhou Quan was leaned on, and if he wanted to go up and block it again, it was too late, so he could only watch the opponent shoot on his head.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a two-point shot in the low post.

"Boom!"

This is a style of play that Michael Jordan is very good at, and it immediately made the United Center boil.

Raising his fist, Jordan himself was also very excited, he didn't need to run, he could easily deal with the bastard kid Iron Fist.

"Beautiful, indeed! Michael had a good hand today, shooting all three of his shots in the opening game, scoring six points and one assist. Ringer Wilson laughed.

"Iron Fist made 2 of 2 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws, and scored six points, but the fly in the ointment was two turnovers," said Robert Jeddah. Now the score of the two teams is 6-8, and the Pistons are two points behind on the road.

As it stands, Iron Fist has missed twice, but his individual offense is still playing well, and the Bulls need to continue to strengthen their defense. ”

Ringer Wilson laughed: "He's a point guard, the offense has never been consistent, the playmaking and assists are his most consistent, now the offense is the mainstay, ignoring the organization of assists, I think that's wrong, what he has to do is activate the offense of his teammates." ”

Robert Giddah objected: "His three attacks have good chances, and he deserves to be shot." As for playmaking and assists, I believe in his ability, he's not an attacking maniac. ”

The Pistons attacked, and Zhou Quan advanced to the right wing of the frontcourt against Jordan.

This time, he's pushing forward close to the touchline, with a view all over the court, not giving the Bulls a chance to shoot from behind him.

Two steps past the middle line, he glanced at Joe Dumas, and the cooperation between the two was quite tacit, and Joe Dumas immediately ran over to do the block and stood on Jordan's left hand side.

John Paxson didn't change the defense, because this was a tactic that the coaching staff had laid out early on, and when Zhou Quan and Joe Dumas blocked and dismantled, they didn't change defenses.

Jordan didn't change his defense, not only because of the tactics that had been formulated, but also because it was two steps outside the three-point line, Zhou Quan definitely didn't have such a long range, so after squeezing away Joe Dumas, he had enough time to catch up.

Zhou Quan went around the wall and began to break through from the outside, but he was blocked by John Paxson first, and then as soon as he reached the three-point line, Jordan chased him to the right side, withstood him, and went directly to the confrontation, squeezing him to the right sideline.

His speed did not rise, and was squeezed by Jordan, but slowed down.

Joe Dumas immediately moved to the top of the arc after the block, taking John Paxson away and not giving him a chance to get a chance from behind.

But at this time, he saw that Zhou Quan's breakthrough was unfavorable, and immediately changed direction, cutting down from the top of the arc to the thirty corners of the right flank.

Zhou Quan reacted quickly, and under Jordan's full squeeze, his right hand was pulled up and held with one hand, and then suddenly hit the ground and passed.

By the time Jordan reacted, the ball had already passed under his feet.

One step away from the right midfield, Joe Dumas received the ball, and John Paxson cut in from behind, a little slower, half a foot behind.

At this time, Grant blocked the right waist position, Joe Dumas had no idea of killing in, and immediately jumped out of his hand, Grant caught up with a step and jumped to block, but did not touch the ball.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that the ball grew a little longer and missed.

Rodman also didn't grab the rebound, the basketball bounced to the front left side of the basket, which was picked up by Cartwhite, and the Bulls attacked.

Jordan once again came to the low post on the right wing and made a posture of singles Zhou Quan.

Pippen on the strong side passed to Grant at the top of the arc, and when Grant passed Jordan, Rodman immediately turned around and pounced, and when Jordan didn't receive the ball, he implemented the package.

But as soon as he left, Grant immediately ran down after him, eagerly rushing to the basket.

Zhou Quan noticed Grant's top-down air cut, so when Jordan received the ball, passing the ball inside was an option to be guarded against, and he immediately raised his vigilance and prepared.

Jordan received the ball in his hand, he saw Grant's cut, leaned back against Zhou Quan with his right shoulder, and pushed his right elbow back, exerting a continuous confrontation, but his left hand suddenly threw back with one hand, throwing the ball from the top of Zhou Quan's head to the paint area.

But just after the ball passed over Zhou Quan's head, he reacted super quickly when he was prepared, and instantly burst out, and his right hand swept up with one hand.

"Shet!"

Jordan was startled, and by the time he reacted, Zhou Quan had already grabbed the ball.

"Oh!"

The United Center was filled with exclamations.

"Pretty, Iron Fist also broke Jordan's pass with color." Robert Giddah shouted excitedly.

On the court, Zhou Quan immediately passed the ball out and gave it to Joe Dumas outside the three-point line.

Joe Dumas held the ball to the left elbow area of the front court, and John Paxson, who was back on the defensive, blocked the front, he made a quick stop jump shot, and bang, this time it was short, and he still missed.

Pippen, who returned to defense, picked up the rebound in the backcourt, and the Bulls attacked.

"Two shots missed, Joe Dumas was in average form today and wasted this opportunity. If this counterattack can be achieved, the morale of the Pistons can still be improved. Robert Gilida shook his head.

"Bang!"

Pippen voted for one himself, to try today's feel, but unfortunately he didn't hit.

"Mine."

Rodman finally caught the rebound, that excitement, elbow swing, scared Grant to the side, at this time Zhou Quan ran over to the bottom line to ask for the ball, and quickly turned around and stuffed it with his hand.

Zhou Quan advanced from the right wing, and as soon as he crossed the middle line, Jordan immediately pressed up, and the defensive pressure suddenly increased.

He immediately made a back dribble, controlled the ball with his left hand, shifted widely, and accelerated towards the middle.

As he approached the top of the arc, he saw an opportunity to pass the ball: 15 degrees to the right of the top of the arc, through the front left of the basket, to the baseline.

He even clearly saw the media reporters and cheerleaders behind the baseline, without any passing obstacles formed by players from both sides, and he could use a scalpel pass to directly penetrate all the Bulls' defenses and go straight to the basket.

This passage has only just been formed, not a moment ago, but it will be closed soon because the players on both sides are on the move, such as Cartwhite next to Bedford.

Cartwhite was in a bit of an upward position, but as soon as he stepped inside, he could immediately seal the pass.

For another example, the next moment Jordan will be in front of him, and this passing lane will be blocked.

And Ulrich, who moved towards the paint, and Pippen, who followed him, would also immediately seal off the pass.

"Move!"

Zhou Quan shouted in his heart.

Bedford seemed to hear him and immediately cut to the basket.

Of course, he didn't really hear Zhou Quan's heart, it was because Carter White was not sticking to his side, he was staring outside, and he had a chance to enter the basket, so he moved.

"Ball!"

The moment he saw Bedford step in, just as the ball was also pulled up, Zhou Quan let out a loud shout and threw the ball into the passing channel with one hand before Jordan sealed the passing space in front of him.

"Slow!"

Jordan rushed up and reached out to stop it, just a little bit.

Above Bedford, Cartwhite was blocked by Pippen and Ulrich moving inward, feeling something fly by, and by the time he reacted, the ball had already flown past him.

"Oops!"

He looked down and saw a touch of orange flying directly out of the bottom line, and he was immediately relieved.

Bedford was a little confused, the ball flew past his chest, too fast for him to react.

Ringer Wilson shook his head and said: "Iron Fist passed the ball wrong, less than half a quarter, and a third quarter error." This is a sign that the Pistons are losing, and if this continues, he may have 10 turnovers in the whole game. ”

Robert Giddah sighed: "The passing and receiving mistakes are not tacit enough. After all, Bedford is only a substitute and has limited ability, and when he cuts in, he is not even ready to receive the ball, and John Cely's absence still has a great impact on the Pistons.

If it had been John Sely, it should have been able to be received. If you get it, it's a really good ball, it goes straight through all the defenses, you can go straight to the basket. ”

Ringer Wilson smiled: "Actually, Iron Fist doesn't need to pass this kind of fast scalpel-like pass, if you hang the pass just now, it will also be an opportunity." ”

Robert Giddah shook his head and said: "Or is it related to Bedford's strength, the hanging pass will leave the Bulls with a chance to return to the basket, and with his strength, can he score on the heads of Cartwhite and Grant, as well as Pippen?"

If there were three super centers in it just now, how would you see Iron Fist passing? He can just throw the ball into it and leave nothing to worry about.

Because his teammates are low, he has to try to pass some balls that he can't defend to make his teammates score easily. ”

Bulls attack.

Pippen played against Ulrich, broke through with the ball and struck the paint.

Cartwhite immediately went to the basket and brought Bedford inside, compressing the Pistons' defense for Pippen's breakaway.

Pippen hit the left waist position, facing Bedford is stepping up, pressing the opponent with his left hand and dunking the ball with his right hand.

In the past two days, he has lost a lot of face, the day before yesterday he was slapped by Zhou Quan in front of all Americans, and he just apologized to Zhou Quan in front of the whole United States, so he wants to dunk this ball in and save a little face.

"Bang!"

Bedford couldn't jump, was sturdy, and was knocked under the basket.

"Oh roar!"

Pippen was so powerful, and the Bulls fans at the United Center were not stingy, and there was a huge applause and shouts immediately.

John Sely, who was sitting on the bench, was so angry that he threw the towel in his hand on the floor and scolded: "Let this soft egg buckle, if I am under the basket, will he dare to go in?" ”

Of course, this is a bit of a braggart, but he believes that if he was under the basket, Pippen would never dare to be so presumptuous, and Bedford is still not tough enough.

"It's 6:10 and the Bulls are four points ahead. Jordan scored 6 points and Pippen scored 4. The Pistons still have an iron fist of 6 points, and the others have not yet scored. Robert Giddah said.

Ringer Wilson smiled: "The two sides have not scored for several rounds, and Pippen broke the game, his dunk boosted morale, and the morale of the Pistons was even worse, and the Bulls should take advantage of the situation to play a wave." ”

In the backcourt, Zhou Quan took Ulrich's serve, and while guarding against Jordan, he yelled loudly: "Lift the spirit, we still have one." ”

Pushed across the center line from the right wing, close to the three-point line, when Jordan caught up, he suddenly accelerated, directly crushed the breakthrough, and hit one shoulder.

Under the level of 96 nerve reaction speed, the reaction is super fast, and the starting rhythm is very good, Jordan is in a state where the center of gravity is moving forward, and he has no time to do other reactions, and passively bears the impact.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan, who lowered his body and rushed forward, hit Jordan's left rib with his left shoulder.

Jordan staggered back and fell to the ground, while Zhou Quan was physically stunned, then exerted another force and burst into the three-point line.

"Oh!"

There was an exclamation at the United Center.

"Hit people with the ball."

Ringer Wilson shouted subconsciously.

"Normal confrontation!"

Robert Ringer shouted loudly at the same time.

Joe Dumas, who was moving inside the three-point line on the right wing, saw it and immediately moved to the bottom right corner to open up space for Zhou Quan to break through.

John Paxson could only choose to switch defenses, lost Joe Dumas, moved two steps sideways, and blocked in front of Zhou Quan.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan divided the ball and gave it to Jo Dumas, who had just reached the bottom right corner.

Joe Dumas received the ball, there was no defender within three meters of him, John Paxson could only defend him with his eyes three meters away, and Grant pounced from the paint.

"Three points in the bottom corner?"

Seeing Joe Dumas make a move, Robert Giddah let out a loud shout.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the basketball smashed the basket and rebounded.

"Alas!"

He shook his head helplessly.

Joe Dumas also shook his hand in disappointment, and glanced at Zhou Quan, who passed the ball to him, brother, I'm sorry, I really didn't have a basket today.

"Mine!"

Rodman rose to his feet, jumped with his teeth and claws, snatched the rebound from Cartwhite's head, and threw it to Zhou Quan.

"Smack!"

Jordan popped up from behind Zhou Quan and broke the ball.

"Smack!"

Chuck Daley slapped his face angrily and yelled at the court, "Damn, did you go to a nightclub last night?" ”

The Bulls took the opportunity to counterattack, and after Jordan turned and advanced two steps, he was blocked by Zhou Quan, and he immediately made a long pass to Pippen, who was already almost down to the frontcourt.

"Bang!"

Pippen smashes the ball into the paint, but Ulrich can't keep up with him, he smashes into the paint, flies up, and hits the one-handed slam that blows up the United Center.

Robert Giddah said, "At 6:12, the Pistons are six points behind. It was a great chance, but unfortunately Joe Dumas couldn't hit that open corner three-pointer, and then Rodman and Iron Fist missed the ball and lost the point. ”

Ringer Wilson laughed: "If the Pistons continue like this, the Bulls will definitely rise and this game will lose suspense." ”

The Pistons attacked, and Chuck Daley called a timeout.

"Attention, where is your focus on the game? I only see mistakes, mistakes, or mistakes......"

He roared at the players, even Zhou Quan and Jo Dumas did not escape, he yelled at Zhou Quan: "Zhou, I reminded you, pay attention to the opponent from behind, have you forgotten?"

Remember, whether it's grabbing a rebound or catching the ball, you have to take the initiative, don't wait there for the ball to fall into your hands, you have to catch it, you have to jump, you know? ”

Zhou Quan wiped his sweat and nodded.

After yelling at Zhou Quan, he sprayed at Qiao Dumas again: "Joe, where did your mind go?" You can't shoot an empty seat as big as the Pacific Ocean, are you wondering where to go fishing after the East Finals? Do you deserve a whole season of hard work? ”

Jo Dumas couldn't help but be ashamed, but he really didn't concentrate enough today and had nothing to say.

Then Daley had the heart to replace Joe Dumas, the team's leading scorer who had a bit of a bad hand today, missing three shots.

However, if you don't have Joe Dumas's defense, how can you resist Jordan + Pippen's attack?

The assassin is not good now, the offense is not good, the defense is even worse, the body can't keep up.

It's the same with Mark Aguirre, who is not in good health.

The body is not good, the first thing to come down is defense, and his team is a team based on defense, so he still decided to let Jo Dumas continue to play.

Next, Chuck Daly left the little time left for Zhou Quan, and at this time, it was time for the team leader to step up when morale needed to be boosted.

Zhou Quan put down the towel in his hand, handed the water cup to Darnell Walker, glanced left and right at his teammates, he stood up, and said in a deep voice to his teammates:

"There's no time, I don't have anything to say, now we're either going to fight with them, even if we lose, we have to show our courage;

Either like a coward, from the will to the body to be defeated by them, and then accept their humiliation, I don't know how you choose, my choice is desperate.

Now I would love to know what your choice is, to be a warrior or a coward, it is up to you to decide. ”

His words were like a slap in the face, making the hair of Joe Dumas and the others tingle, and the Pistons fell silent on the bench.

Zhou Quan did not wait for their choice, but continued: "I know that many of you don't lack anything now, you have honors, qualifications, big contracts, even if you leave the Pistons, you will have a next home."

You are also old, there is no need to work hard, you don't want to get hurt anymore, I understand and respect your choice.

But I'm still young, what you have now, I don't have any of it, so I'm going to fight, you have created your success, now I'm going to create success for myself, I have to rely on myself, if you choose to give up, I don't blame you. ”

"Iron Fist, you are not alone, I will help you fight hard, I will never be a coward." Rodman didn't say a word, patted his chest and said.

"I don't have anything, and I'm one." Darnell Walker said.

"Me." The assassin said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Joe Dumas, who nodded and said, "Just fight, it's not a big deal, who wants to be a coward?" ”

Ulrich also said unwillingly: "Count me in, I don't have anything." Iron Fist, I'll fight with you. ”

Zhou Quan nodded, selling miserably + agitating this method is okay, and the morale is brushing up.
