At half past eight, the game began.

Ewing wins the jump ball and the Knicks attack.

On the offensive end, Oakley plays the No. 3 position, he doesn't have three-pointers, but he has mid-range shots that can pull out.

The Pistons arranged for Ulrich, who has average defensive ability, to follow him, let Rodman stay under the basket to guard the restricted area, and on the offensive end to face Charles Smith.

Pat Riley is known as a god operator, playing a good calculation, and in the offseason he traded a Mark Jackson from the Clippers for three people, in addition to Charles Smith, as well as Doug Rivers and Berkinbel, of which Smith became the starting power forward, and Rivers replaced Mark Jackson's main point guard position.

Smith can play the No. 4 or No. 5 position, playing 20+ consecutive performances in the 89/90 and 90/91 seasons, and the rebounding ability is also okay, but last season he only played 49 games with a serious injury, and the stats plummeted.

The Knicks actually have no shortage of power forwards, because Oakley is a big forward, what is missing is a small forward, and last season's main small forward McDaniels refused the team's contract extension, so Pat Riley hopes that Smith will replace the main position of small forward.

It's a pity that after a month, Smith couldn't adapt to the small forward position, and Pat Riley could only let Oakley out on the offensive end, let Smith play power forward, and switch back on the defensive end.

Playing other teams will be problematic because Smith is 208 cm tall and can't keep up with those fast small forwards, but playing the Pistons, Pat Riley thinks there is no problem, and Ulrich also has 208 cm, Smith can keep up with his pace.

Zhou Quan stood in front of Doug Rivers, the opponent was 190 centimeters tall, two centimeters taller than him, but he added the advantage of his arm span, and he did not suffer in height.

In tonnage, Rivers is 84 kilograms, and he has the advantage.

In terms of mobility, he is also better than his opponents.

Doug Rivers is average athletic, he plays not by his body, but by his brain, and is nicknamed Dr.

Facing Rivers, as soon as he stepped back from the halfway line, he began to fight and press.

Rivers moved continuously, but he couldn't get rid of Zhou Quan smoothly, Zhou Quan's confrontation and pressing were too fierce, and he didn't have the extra energy to observe the situation on the court, so he was very passive.

At this moment, Joe Dumas saw that Zhou Quan had forced Rivers to the right flank, not far from him, and he immediately ran over to flank him.

"Smack!"

When Rivers turned to protect the ball, Zhou Quan grabbed a step from the other side, reacted very quickly, and hit it accurately, knocked the ball off with one hand, grabbed it in his hand, and then immediately launched a counterattack.

"Flank! The ball is broken! The ball is broken! The bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

"Oooooooooo......oo

The palace of Auburn Hills burst into cheers.

Zhou Quan hit the top of the arc, looked left and right, Reeves didn't follow, two steps behind, he hit the free throw line one step and flew up.

Holding the ball high in his right hand, as if holding a giant axe, he took a big step in the air, and then stretched out his bow and arm, and slashed down with the axe.

At this time, countless Pistons fans opened their mouths wide and stared at Zhou Quan tightly.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion of baskets rang out.

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of people paused, raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts of countless fans suddenly broke out.

"Walking in the air, tomahawk slashing, the palace of Auburn Hills needs such an exciting show!" The roar of bearded John Lowes rang out.

It wasn't until after the Knicks served that the shouting pair gradually subsided.

Liu Yumin is the first time to see a Chinese basketball player dunk like this, even Hu Weidong, who has the best physical fitness in the domestic basketball world, has never dunked like this, it is too explosive, under the environmental influence of the Auburn Hills Palace, she feels that her scalp is numb.

"By the way, Ma Jian is now studying and playing at a community college in Detroit, and Zhou Quan found a relationship to get him in, and it didn't cost him a penny, saving him twenty or thirty thousand dollars." Zhang Li said suddenly.

"Ma Jian here?" Liu Yumin said in surprise.

Ma Jian ran to the United States without permission last time, which made her work very passive, and now because of Ma Jian's matter, the division has made a new decision to prohibit players from contacting foreign scouts without permission in the future.

She personally does not object to Ma Jian's kind of thing, especially after seven defeats in the Olympic Games, she has recognized the level of foreign basketball, which is why she borrowed money to come to the United States this time, one is to inspect Zhou Quan, and the other is to investigate American basketball.

On the court, Rivers advanced with the ball, and this time the quarterback John Starks was not far away, and he himself strengthened his guard and did not let Zhou Quan find a chance to start.

John Starks then took the ball over and singled Joe Dumas.

"Ball!"

Ewing squeezed away Secali into the basket and asked for the ball from outside.

John Starks could only pass the ball, and he didn't have the qualifications and guts to reject Ewing.

Sekari was too soft under the basket, and after being pushed to the side, he no longer went up to carry it, and Rodman immediately stepped up and pressed against Ewing's back, Ewing forced sideways and hit a small hook.

"Bang!"

missed, Dennis Rodman turned around and grabbed the rebound from Smith's head, and Zhou Quan had already turned around and hurriedly threw it out.

On the sidelines, Pat Riley pointed to the backcourt and shouted, "Defend quickly!" ”

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan received the ball and immediately pushed forward at full speed.

Rivers followed him, but even an empty run couldn't close the distance between him.

John Starks was quicker than Rivers, but chased from the flank to the middle, a farther distance, and he didn't follow Zhou Quan.

After killing two meters from the free throw line, Zhou Quan's body was violently raised, his right knee was raised, and his left hand handed the ball from his crotch to his right hand.

Thanks to his big hands, he grabbed the ball very steadily, made his movements very fast, and completed this crotch change dunk very perfectly.

"Oh!"

The palace of Auburn Hills, once again in a state of boiling.

On the TNT commentary seat, Robert Giddah exclaimed: "Beautiful, wonderful crotch change hands and buckles!" Although the aerial movements and body posture are not as silky and stretched as Jordan's, it is a very rare actual dunk for a point guard who is 185 cm tall.

And for Iron Fist this season, this kind of difficult action of dunking and layup has become the norm, and I think there will be more and more fans of him. ”

Ringer Wilson laughed: "I have to say, the Pistons are only going to broadcast 12 games in the United States this season, and their fans won't increase much. ”

Robert Giddah nodded, and said helplessly: "Fancy dunks and fancy layups are the most profitable, the most attractive to fans, just look at the reaction of Pistons fans, they now have a very high home attendance, ranking in the top five in the league, I think next season the major TV broadcasters will definitely increase the Pistons' national live broadcasts, they will not miss the opportunity to make money." ”

In fact, he's right, and now several of the NBA's major TV broadcasters have regretted that they gave the Pistons too few games.

Although Zhou Quan's performance last season was good, there were no attractive fancy moves, which was the most important reason why they were reluctant to broadcast Pistons games this season, but they didn't expect Zhou Quan to improve a lot this season, and they knew they missed an opportunity.

The Knicks attacked, Patrick Ewing went to the basket again, and Ronnie Secali's problem of being too soft under the basket was exposed.

"Brush!"

This time, Ewing scored a goal on Rodman's head.

The Pistons attacked, Zhou Quan came to the front court with the ball from the middle, stopped at the top of the arc, and observed the positions of the two sides.

This is the Pistons' first positional battle tonight, and he's going to read the Knicks' defensive tactics and look for a breakthrough.

Smith played against Ulrich on the left wing, Oakley against Rodman under the basket, Ewing followed Secali out of the basket and stayed on the left side, and Joe Dumas played against John Starks on the right wing.

The Knicks only have Oakley alone to guard the basket, and although Secali is soft and rarely tough to attack and defend under the basket, he has a mid-range shot, and Ewing is contained.

That is, there is a lot of room for a breakthrough.

He chose to break through from the left elbow because Smith was on the left wing, which is a power forward with minimal risk and chance of being caught up from the left elbow.

Of course, after breaking in, he will likely face a return Ewing and Oakley, and he can choose to make a pull-up jump shot or give it to Sekari.

"Bang Bang ......"

Making tactical gestures, he began to bend down and dribble.

"It's going to be a surprise!"

Rivers also immediately concentrated, and lowered his body more and more, standing in front of Zhou Quan like a leopard, ready to pounce at any time.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan's shoulders shook from side to side, and then he dribbled under his crotch in an instant, switched to his left hand, strode forward with his right foot to the left, changed direction in front of the cross step, and broke Rivers in one step.

This is his weakest breakthrough technique, only level 86, but Doug Rivers' athleticism is too poor, and at the age of 31, after being shaken, he didn't keep up with the rhythm and was suddenly cleaned.

After bypassing defenders, Zhou Quan scored from the left end of the free throw line, and Charles Smith on the left wing was really unable to help the defense, and he burst into the box.

At this time, Ewing in the left waist position gave up Secali and quickly returned to the basket, and the return speed was very fast.

But Zhou Quan broke through faster, took a step into the paint area, closed the ball, held the ball high in his right hand, and took another step, flying towards Ewing, who was not firmly established.

"Damn it!"

Ewing, who just retreated to the basket, knew that it was bad, he didn't have time to jump, and he was a super center, Zhou Quan was a point guard, he didn't think Zhou Quan had the courage to dunk him, but Zhou Quan just wanted to dunk him.

Oakley, who was already under the basket, was blocked by Ewing and lost his defensive position, so he could only watch Zhou Quan dunk violently.

"Can you detain Ewing?"

At this moment, the 21,000 fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills all widened their eyes and closed their whirring.

"Can you detain Ewing?"

At this moment, countless Pistons fans in Detroit also reacted in the same way.

"Can you detain Ewing?"

At this moment, tens of millions of fans across the United States also reacted in the same way.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the sound of the explosive basket sounded, and Ewing, who was unstable, was knocked to the ground, and Oakley pulled it without holding it.

"Boom!"

A Category 17 typhoon, composed of shouts and cheers, took shape in an instant, sweeping through the Palace of Auburn Hills, the entire Detroit, and the hearts of tens of millions of fans across the United States.

At this moment, in the hearts of tens of millions of fans, Zhou Quan engraved his mark on their hearts through this forcible slamming of super center Ewing.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

On the commentary seat, the bearded John Lowes got up from his seat and clenched his fists three times in a row, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

"Hahaha......"

In the stands at the top of the mountain, Zhang Li was already laughing.

Liu Yumin couldn't believe that she watched the game of the Dream Team of the American men's basketball team last time on the spot, and witnessed how those stars from the NBA played, but just now, Zhou Quan actually blocked Ewing, the backup center of the Dream Team, as a point guard, and she was excited when she thought that there was an opportunity to recruit such a star, and the Chinese men's basketball team also had the opportunity to have such a star.

After only a few balls, she felt that Zhou Quan's strength had surpassed all the point guards in China, even the point guards, and this trip was worth it.

On the field, Zhou Quan let go of his hand, parted his legs, rode on Ewing's head, and then stepped forward with his head held high, as if he didn't see Ewing.

Ewing weakly stopped it with his hand, but it was useless, and he could only watch Zhou Quan step over his head.

Oakley, who was standing on the side, couldn't do anything, glared at Zhou Quan's back, and had to pull Ewing up.

"I would like to hear more enthusiastic voices."

Zhou Quan came to the bottom line, shouted while raising his hands and ticked the audience.

"Oh!"

The hurricane was raging, and the cheers of the Auburn Hills Palace instantly became violent, like a volcano erupting, and the emotions of the Pistons fans had been stimulated by Zhou Quan to the most frenzied situation, and the home atmosphere had been completely ignited.

"Iron Fist, how does it feel to be a super center with a dunk?" Behind the bottom line media seat, a media reporter asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan couldn't hear the reporter's words at all, he just saw the reporter shouting at him, so he casually shouted: "Did you get it?" If you get it, put it on your front page, and then you'll get a promotion, a raise. ”

However, the decibels at the scene were too high, and no one heard his words.

In the next game, it completely fell to the Pistons, who were fighting at home, and the morale of the Knicks was beaten to the bottom by Zhou Quan, and he felt cold, 75:105, and finally lost.

A big win at home, three wins in a row after a four-game losing streak, 8-4, and the whole of Detroit was in a state of joy.

"Liu, let's go down."

At the top of the mountain, Zhang Li greeted.

"Okay."

Liu Yumin hurriedly stood up.

At this time, Zhou Quan was being interviewed by TNT and other media on the sidelines.

"Iron Fist, what does it feel like to be a super center with a dunk?" A reporter asked loudly before the TNT reporter.

Zhou Quan smiled: "As a point guard, there are very few opportunities like this, maybe not in my entire career, I think this is a day worth remembering."

When I'm old, and somebody asks me, hey, old man, have you ever done anything bright in your life, and I'll say, I've blocked Patrick Ewing, a super center, haha! ”

The media reporter also laughed with it, and then the TNT reporter rushed to ask: "Iron Fist, in this game, you shot 9 of 16 in 35 minutes, shooting 56.2%, plus a three-pointer and free throw, scored 26 points, and handed out 13 assists, 5 steals and 1 block, completely blowing up your opponent Doug Rivers on both offensive and defensive ends, who else do you think is your opponent in this league, in the No. 1 position?" ”

"No. 1 in the league?"

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Just the No. 1 position, the Suns' lightning Kevin Johnson, and the Warriors' bug Tim Hardaway, they are all very strong and are definitely qualified to stand opposite me."

Also, Terry Porter of the Trail Blazers is good. There are also some point guards who are also very good and have a lot of quality, but they have limited time, so I won't talk about them all here. ”

"What about John Stockton?" The reporter reminded.

"John Stockton?"

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "In the face of me, he doesn't have any advantages, except for dirty movements. He was beaten by Terry Porter in this West showdown, and I think I can blow him up too. ”
