At 54:58, the Pistons take the lead and the Hornets attack.

Mourning squeezed away Secali and forced his way to the basket to ask for the ball.

"Sekari barely put up resistance."

On the TNT commentary seat, Robert Giddah shook his head.

But this time Mourning didn't get the ball because Zhou Quan didn't let Boggs pass it down, and he blocked the downward angle of the pass.

Boggs could only break through with the ball, his height was too low, and he couldn't pass the ball to his team-mates in the low post when he was standing.

Lean over and lower your center of gravity.

Zhou Quan still leaned over slightly, put a step away, and let the opponent break through, or shoot three points.

Boggs successfully broke through from the right elbow area with the ball, Zhou Quan turned and chased into the paint area, the former changed direction and pulled to the right wing, but the ball in his hand was passed to Larry Johnson in the low post below.

It's just that no matter how secret his passing action is, he can't deceive Zhou Quan, because Zhou Quan's full-level panoramic vision is too strong, and he doesn't need to face it, just the afterglow of his eyes can capture his passing action very clearly.

"Smack!"

Coupled with the nerve reaction speed of level 96, Zhou Quan moved down a step in time and leaned over to break the ball.

"The ball is broken! Iron Fist breaks the ball......" roared the bearded John Lowes excitedly.

This time, Zhou Quan's position was very deep, close to the low post, and Kendall Gill caught up with Joe Dumas again, and the fast attack had no chance, so he turned to positional warfare.

Joe Dumas was smart enough to move to the right wing to the touchline and take Kendall Gill away without giving him a chance to switch.

In this way, Zhou Quan played against Boggs on the offensive end.

Boggs took a risk to steal the last ball, which led to a burst, allowing Zhou Quan to play a fast attack, and he didn't dare to do that for the time being, and this time he honestly retreated to the backcourt.

Zhou Quan advanced to the front court from the left side of the center, and when Boggs caught up, he first slowed down, and then suddenly changed to the right, and the acceleration of the 95 level stepped past the person, directly broke through the opponent, and did not stop after hitting the top of the arc, but killed directly.

Larry Johnson was in the left midfield position, at this time Sekari took another step out, Zhou Quan's pass was too powerful, he didn't dare to completely empty Sekali, so he didn't dare to come in to make up for the defense, but followed a step out.

Mo Ning under the basket was fully prepared, standing one step in front of the basket, eyeing Zhou Quan who came in, and his momentum was extremely fierce.

Zhou Quan held the ball to a sharp stop in front of Mo Ning, and suddenly dribbled to the left and pulled a step.

The reason why he pulled sideways was not only to avoid the defense of Mourning in front, but also to avoid Boggs, who was catching up from behind.

Although he broke off Boggs, Boggs must be chasing after him, and he can't help but take precautions.

Sure enough, Boggs, who was catching up from behind, was about to break the ball from the right side, but he didn't prevent Zhou Quan from taking a step to the left, and he was pulled away in a flash.

In the next moment, Zhou Quan jumped and thrown.

"Brush!"

The 92-level throw, when there is no defender within one step, the distance of two meters from the basket is still very accurate, and the hollow into the basket.

"At 54:60, the Pistons scored six points in a row, and Iron Fist used a block and a steal to destroy the Hornets' offense in a row, and the Hornets couldn't be careless." Ringer Wilson said.

"Smack!"

Twenty seconds later, Larry Johnson hit Rodman with the ball in the low post, got close to the basket and then turned around and jumped, and Zhou Quan rushed down from the free throw line to help defend and slapped Big Mom.

"Great! Iron Fist has already sent out two big hats in the third quarter, and this time it is even more into the paint area to help defend the big hat aunt, so beautiful! ”

The bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

On the field, there was a sudden change.

Rodman grabbed the ball and then handed it to Zhou Quan, but at this time, Boggs suddenly came up to grab the ball, Zhou Quan was careless, the ball was knocked off, and Boggs grabbed it.

"Give it to me!"

Mourning yelled under the basket and reached for the ball.

"Bang!"

Boggs was blocked by Zhou Quan, and hurriedly hit the ball and passed the ball from Zhou Quan's feet.

In the next moment, Zhou Quan reacted quickly, and the moment he turned right, his full-level panoramic vision captured the ball that rebounded upward, and his right hand swung outward accurately, snapped, and hit the ball to the right side.

It just so happened that Rodman was on the right, and the ball hit his stomach and was picked up by him.

"It's so dangerous, I will atone for my sins, and the iron fist will be snatched back."

On the on-site commentary seat, the glasses man Long Gelance breathed a sigh of relief.

"A defensive round, a block, a turnover, a steal, Iron Fist got three stats, haha!"

On the TNT commentary seat, Robert Giddah laughed.

Zhou Quan advanced to the front court with the ball, and Kendall Gill defended him, and he did not give the ball to Jodumas or Secali as he did in the G1 and first half, but played it himself.

He is 5 centimeters shorter than his opponent, weighs two kilograms, has more muscle content than his opponent, moves no slower than his opponent, has stronger explosiveness, and has an advantage in confrontation.

When he came to the top of the arc, he did not call for blocking, but made a gesture of pulling away, wanting to single-handedly hit the opponent.

Sekari pulled two steps to the left flank and Larry Johnson was forced to follow up to the left flank.

Rodman is in the right midfield position, and Mourning is in the basket.

While dribbling, Zhou Quan leaned down and made preparations before the breakthrough.

Kendall Gill didn't get close, because the strength against him was not as good as Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan didn't shoot a three-point shot today, he broke through the main defense and let go of the defense.

Two seconds later, with 7 seconds left in the offensive time, Zhou Quan began to move a step forward, Gil took a step back, and the next moment, Zhou Quan broke through with one hand.

Jill was shaken by Zhou Quan's shoulder, and his reaction was half a beat slower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Quan changed direction to break through from the right side and hit Jill's side in one step, and by the time Jill reacted, he had already lost his defensive position, and he smashed into the paint from the right end of the free throw line.

Facing Mo Ning under the basket, Zhou Quan repeated his old trick again, and it was another shoulder shaking action in dribbling, so that Mo Ning didn't know whether he changed direction to the left or right, and his reaction was half a beat slower.

In the next moment, Zhou Quan changed direction downward, rushing from Mo Ning's side to the right side of the basket.

Mo Ning, who reacted, hurriedly turned around, and at this time, Zhou Quan forcibly jumped, his left elbow outside the top block Mo Ning, and his right hand held the ball violently.

"Smack!"

Mo Ning blocked the block, and was blocked by Zhou Quan's left elbow in the air, unable to lean on, his arm was not long enough, and only hit Zhou Quan's wrist.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, Zhou Quan pressed Mo Ning's big hand and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Oh roar!"

At this moment, the entire Auburn Hills palace came to life and boiled, and countless Pistons fans rose from their seats and raised their arms in revelry.

"Ahh

Zhou Quan, who won the game, was very excited, and shouted at the audience, which stimulated the cheers of the audience even higher.

"Buckle! After the Iron Fist broke through, he blocked Alonzo Mourning, the center of the Hornets, and he blocked the center again as a point guard, which was great! ”

On the commentary seat, the bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.

On the TNT commentary bench, Robert Giddah excitedly said: "As the leader of the team, the real boss, Iron Fist stepped up in the third quarter, and he played consistently well on both ends of the floor.

Now the momentum of the entire Auburn Hills palace has skyrocketed wildly, and the morale has broken through the margin, and if the wasps can't return one, their morale will not be able to sustain it. ”

The center was dunked by the point guard, and the Hornets' morale was clearly taken a hit, and the head coach called a timeout to give the players time to breathe a sigh of relief and cool down the atmosphere at the Pistons' home court.

But after the pause, the situation did not change.

Zhou Quan strengthened the breakthrough with the ball, his breakthrough skills have reached the first-class level, and what is more powerful is that all kinds of breakthrough techniques are complete, there are no shortcomings, and he can break through as much as he wants, so that the defenders cannot make accurate predictions at all.

Kendall Gil was clearly unstoppable and was repeatedly assaulted, and once Zhou Quan entered the paint area, he only had to face Mourning alone after Sekari took Larry Johnson.

93-level pull-up jump shot, 92-level throw, 95-level layup, 92-level turn-back step-back jumper, and various close-range finishing methods made Mourning unable to cope at all, forcing him to use foul means to deal with it, frequently sending Zhou Quan to the free throw line, plus two fouls in the first half, and five fouls.

Zhou Quan played full in the third quarter, shooting 6 of 9 and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, blowing up the Hornets' interior and helping the team lead the opponent by 12 points in a single quarter.

In the final quarter, Mo Ning fouled Zhou Quan again in the third minute, and six fouls graduated, and the Hornets were unable to turn the tables back, so they lost the second away game.

At 102-112, the Pistons led the series by a large score of 2-0, winning by 10 points.

Zhou Quan played 46 minutes, scoring 10 points in the first half, 18 points in the third quarter, 12 points in the final quarter, and 30 points in the second half.

He shot 14-of-23 from the field, shot 60.8% from the field, made 12 of 12 free throws, and scored 40 points, breaking his career playoff single-game scoring record of 38 points, and got 40 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

"Iron Fist, 40+ points today, especially in the second half of 10 of 16 shots, 30 points, in the case of the team's offensive disadvantage, you stood up, kept attacking the Hornets basket, full of energy, which shows that you have a strong individual offensive ability that can level the opponent, why are you rarely seen such crazy offense?" TNT's correspondent asked.

Zhou Quan said calmly: "If I tend to attack individually, I will ignore the energy of my teammates and ignore the organizational function, and as a point guard, I must have an accurate control at both ends of the individual offense and passing, and I must balance the relationship between the two, so that the team can play more energy and lead the team to defeat the opponent." ”

"In other words, you actually think that no matter how powerful an individual offense is, you can't defeat your opponent without the organization of the team?" The reporter asked.

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "A strong individual attack may be able to win one or two games, but it can't last long." When you are obsessed with your individual attack, the opponent will definitely strengthen your defense, and when your offensive efficiency drops, your teammates' hands are already cold and morale is low, so I think so, you must mobilize everyone's energy and enthusiasm and attention to the game, and don't let your teammates become spectators on the field, then you can play the best attack. ”

"But you won the game with your individual attack." The journalist asked.

"That's why I said it before, a strong individual attack can really win one game or two." Zhou Quan replied with a smile.

After seeing off his girlfriend, he returned to the locker room and spent half an hour showering.

Everyone else uses deodorant and then brushes it with an iron brush, but he doesn't use it, which is the advantage of the yellow race, the body odor is much smaller, and the sweat glands are not so developed.

"Rick, what were the results of those three games?" He asked after coming out of the bathroom.

Musk laughed: "The Cavaliers beat the Green team twice, and like us, they won two consecutive home games. Mosaic capsized at home and was overturned by the Clippers to a 1-1 draw. ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "It seems that the mosaic is still almost hot, and that guy from Dameng wants to reach the finals, but it's not time." ”

Musk said: "Big Dream faced a lot of defensive intensity, shooting 6 of 19, shooting only 31.6%, but many free throws, 18 of 20 free throws, and scored 30 points.

Mosaic made 13 more free throws than the Clippers, and they didn't lose elsewhere, they lost on three-pointers, and like the Suns last game, they shot only 4 of 16 three-pointers, with a 25% shooting rate, dragging the team's shooting rate to 31.5%, and the loss was really deserved. ”

"Another three points?"

Zhou Quan smiled, he didn't shoot a single three-point shot this time, focusing on mid-range shots and breakthrough layups.

Musk added: "The Trail Blazers pulled one back at home, they shot 1 of 11 three-pointers last time, 5 of 13 today, and the Spurs made 0 of 7 three-pointers. ”

"So the three-pointer must not be thrown around, except for open space." Zhou Quan said with feeling.

He deliberately said that his teammates listened, so that their minds would not get hot.

Of course, with most of the ball in control and no one else throwing a three-pointer, he wasn't too worried.

The Pistons won two straight home games and morale was very high, and the next day, many local media shouted sweeping slogans.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Pistons arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina.

This is the home base of the NCAA, Jordan is very well-known and influential here, and the popularity of the NBA here is average.

After the piston arrived at the hotel, there was not even a press conference.

After Zhou Quan settled down in the hotel, he talked to Christina on the phone for a while, but his girlfriend didn't come with him and stayed in Detroit.

That night, the Bulls scored 117 points to beat the Hawks and win their second straight home game.

Jordan's offensive state was average, with 10-of-24 shooting, 41.7 shooting, two three-pointers, 7-of-8 free throws, and 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks and 5 fouls.

Jordan was average on the offensive end tonight, but he was very strong on the defensive end, changing the defense all over the court, and personally defending the Hawks' point guard Murge Blaylock, with big defense, actually sent 4 big hats, 3 steals, and 5 fouls, preventing Blaylock from making 9 turnovers.

The Hawks drew the coach who rebounded from the last game, and this time they grabbed 50 rebounds, only allowing the Bulls to grab 41, but under the Bulls' strong defense, the shooting was not good, and it was only 40% shooting, while the Bulls shot 51.8% from the field, 102:117, and lost by 15 points.

In addition, the Hawks shot 4-of-14 from three-point range, shooting 28.6 percent, and the Bulls made 7 of 12 three-pointers, shooting 58.6 percent.

In terms of organization, the Hawks continued to slump, with only 13 assists, showing everyone what it means to be inefficient offensively.

The Bulls had a whopping 33 assists and a shooting percentage of more than 50%, playing an efficient organization and offense.

Zhou Quan was surprised, it was the three-point shot that decided the outcome of the game, and it seemed that the attack power of the three-point shot should never be underestimated.

If the Bulls hadn't made so many three-pointers tonight, it wouldn't have been so easy to win against the Hawks.

Of course, the Eagles lost not all three-pointers, but also organization.

He took a closer look at the Bulls' assist stats on TV, Jordan 4, Pippen 5, BJ and Grant 6 each, the big four combined to contribute 21 assists, and in the bench, former main point guard John Paxson delivered 7 assists.

The Bulls have 12 players in the rotation tonight, everyone can pass the ball, and only three players have no assist stats, and nine have provided assists.

"Triangle Attack?"

The bull is a mortal enemy, and he has certainly studied this tactic.

In the triangle attack, it is very important to move the ball between the three corners to tear apart the opponent's defense and allow Jordan to get a chance to play alone.

That said, this tactic requires everyone to be able to pass the ball, which is why the Bulls only handed out 33 assists tonight, which is even more playmaking than the Pistons.

The Pistons' playmaking function is mainly focused on him, and once he is restricted, the playmaking function can only be pressed on Joe Dumas, who can also play point guard, but is more inclined to point guard.

This is also a problem for him against the Bulls, who can suppress the opposing point guard when he plays other teams, and has a mismatch advantage at the No. 1 position, thus destroying their offense.

But against the Bulls, the Bulls don't need a point guard to organize the offense at all, but Jordan switches to defend him, and his performance will be suppressed.

The Bulls don't have one person in control of the ball at all, and Pippen, who is in charge of the organization, doesn't have much of the ball in his hands, and the ball is always in the move, so he can't disrupt the Bulls' organizational function at all.

On the contrary, Jordan defends him, and the ball is always in his hands, but it can suppress him and destroy his organizational function.

How to solve this problem? He was lost in thought.

In the other three games, the Knicks beat the Nets twice at home and also got the match point, while the Jazz pulled one back on the road and tied it 1-1 with the SuperSonics.

The most concerned is the battle between the Suns and the Lakers, the Suns are fighting at home, the G1 battle was upset, and in this G2 battle, the Suns are determined to take revenge and win a big score.

"Guys, work hard, if the Lakers get the match point on our home court, we can all go and feed the wolves, because we don't have any value left, only the value of feeding those animals."

Before the game, Barkley encouraged his team-mates.

But as a result, he himself shot 8-of-24 from the field, shooting only 33.3 percent from the field, and he was not lethal, only 2-of-4 free throws, and only scored 18 points.

The only thing that moved him was that he grabbed 21 rebounds, but just like that, the Suns also lost 4 rebounds to the Lakers.

The performance of the team's core will certainly not inspire morale, 86:81, and in the end, the Suns lost two consecutive games at home, allowing the Lakers to get the match point, and the probability of being blacked out becomes infinite.

"Alas!"

After the game, Barkley lamented.

He absolutely, really, and never thought that he would be beaten 2-0 by the Lakers at home, and if he was 3-0 and black-eight, it would really ask for his future, and the fame he won in the Olympics would be completely defeated by this series, and even affect his superstar positioning, and his commercial value will shrink significantly.
