Chapter 252: Overall Champion
"I remember someone who said that the blows of the iron fist are very accurate, such as baseball hitting, boxing, golf hitting, basketball steals, just blocking, that's true." On the commentary bench at the scene, the glasses man Long Gellans said.
The bearded John Lowes laughed, "Yes, precision strikes, that's the top athletic talent." ”
"So I suggest that Iron Fist's next crossover sport is tennis, which is also a percussion sport, and it is a popular sport all over the world," he said. ”
The bearded man nodded and said: "You have a point, the four major tennis opens, the Australian Open is from January to February, the French Open is from May to June, Wimbledon is from June to July, and the US Open is from August to September. ”
"Time matches, Wimbledon should also be able to participate." The man with glasses added.
"Runger, you should suggest that Michael Jordan go to Wimbledon, he can't play the finals anyway, maybe he can even participate in the French Open in the future." The bearded monster screamed.
"Haha......"
The man with glasses laughed and fell on the table with laughter, and countless Pistons fans on the scene also laughed.
That's when Oliver Miller came off the field and was replaced by Mark West.
"Brush!"
The Lightning took advantage of Barkley's pick-and-roll, broke through and hit a pull-up jump shot.
At 42:44, the Pistons attacked.
Zhou Quan came to the right wing, gave the ball to Jo Dumas, and then cut down into the air, lightning chased the defense, and Dan Marli still defended Jo Dumas.
At this time, Jo Dumas quickly passed back, Zhou Quan received the ball and killed the penalty area, the lightning had fallen behind, and his feet couldn't keep up.
Barkley blocked the left waist position, Mark West was under the basket, he suddenly changed direction, burst Barkley, hit the baseline, held the ball high in his left hand, and jumped up against Mark West.
Mark West jumped off the block, Zhou Quan's body curled up in the air, and at the same time retracted his left hand, hid the ball in his arms, and turned in the air, turning around Mark West to the front of the basket, before the body landed, he held the ball in his right hand and sent it to the basket, and with a fingertip, the basketball flew to the basket.
"Brush!"
Basketball hollow into the basket.
"Oh roar!"
The audience burst into cheers.
Bill Wharton looked at the screen in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh oh oh, dodge in the air, turn around at 360 degrees to pick up the basket, Iron Fist performed a very difficult layup, did I see Michael Jordan?" Could it be that the Bulls are playing the Finals with the Suns right now? ”
"No, that's Iron Fist, your alumnus."
Williams said with a smile: "Seriously, Tekken's layup skills are really good, at the top level. ”
Bill Wharton restrained the expression on his face and said seriously: "However, Iron Fist's physical fitness is still a certain distance from Michael Jordan, and his ability to stay in the air is not as good as Jordan's, and these difficult techniques are not as elegant as Jordan's." ”
Williams nodded: "Elegance never goes out of style, and that's what Michael Jordan is known for, so even though he's been eliminated, we still mention him from time to time." ”
On the CCTV commentary seat, Sun Zhenping said happily: "At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhou Quan made two shots and two hits, as well as an assist and a block, I hope his state can continue to improve." ”
"At the critical moment, you must stand up, so that you can reflect your importance and value, and be worthy of the trust of your teammates." Zhang is looking forward to authenticity.
"It's 42:46 and the Suns are on offense." Sun Zhenping said.
The lightning advanced cautiously, and several series were played, and Zhou Quan's stealing ability had made him very jealous, and he didn't dare to be careless, and his nerves were tense like a tightrope.
It can be said that the reason why the Suns lost two home games, Zhou Quan's 12 steals in the G1G2 game, is a very important reason, and the reason why the Suns lost at least 30% is because of those 12 steals.
Zhou Quan has never risked steals, and his average of 4 steals per game in the playoffs is due to the increased defensive intensity and his aggressive defense.
Aggressive defense is different from pressing defense, not to mention risky steals, it pays more attention to strategy and initiative, using active pressing actions, forcing opponents to make mistakes, so many steals, just the result of this defense.
So in the face of lightning's cautious advance, he immediately guarded and retreated,
Lightning pushed to the top of the arc, Barkley asked for the ball from the left three-point line, and he immediately passed it.
is this simple pass, he is also very cautious, first change hands to control the ball, then use his right elbow to get in position, and then pass the ball with his left hand, his degree of caution shows his fear of Zhou Quan, it has really reached the extreme.
When Bill Wharton saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "See, this is deterrence, Iron Fist with incredible stealing ability...... Ross Barkley holds the ball and breaks through ......"
At that moment, Barkley broke through Sekari again and drove towards the box with the ball.
Zhou Quan moved down to make a defensive stance, and Barkley saw his movement and made a quick stop jump shot outside the left waist position.
The moment he shot, Zhou Quan accelerated and rushed to the basket to grab the rebound.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed the basket and rebounded, just in time to be picked up by Zhou Quan.
"Barkley misses a pullup jump shot, and now the Pistons are attacking."
After Bill Wharton explained, he picked up the topic just now and said: "Iron Fist has established his own deterrent on the defensive end, and even a top point guard like the Lightning is tied up like a novice in front of him. ”
Williams nodded approvingly: "Whether it's a sudden pass, we can really see now that as long as Iron Fist is in front, Lightning will not dare to be careless, and in this way, his state must be suppressed."
With the Finals series playing so far, to put it mildly, Lightning's self-confidence has been knocked out in the face of Iron Fist's defense. It's incredible, lightning is even a figure who can compete with magicians. ”
Bill Wharton said proudly, "But Iron Fist is a figure that can be compared to magicians, and I believe there will be such a day." ”
At the end of the third quarter, at 59:66, the Pistons had a seven-point lead.
Bill Wharton analyzed: "In this quarter, the Pistons used the strong defense of the main lineup to continue to suppress the main lineup of the Suns and achieved a good advantage. ”
Williams nodded: "The Pistons have three top defensive giants, and if it weren't for the weaknesses of Seculi and the No. 3 position, the Pistons' defense would be extremely strong, stronger than the Knicks and the Bulls."
But even so, it's not comparable to the Suns' defense, the Suns are up and down, only Dan Marley was selected to the defensive second team in '91, and Barkley and Kevin Johnson have never been selected to the defensive lineup. ”
Bill Wharton added: "Another important point is that now in the series, the Suns' physical disadvantage has begun to magnify, and an extra day of rest before this game will not solve the fitness problem.
And now that the Pistons are gradually gaining the advantage and are accumulating the advantage step by step, if the Suns can't play against the sky in the final quarter, then the Pistons' victory is a matter of course. ”
On the Suns bench, Barkley gasped and looked blank.
He couldn't help but think about that one-for-one trade again, if he was leading the Pistons now, with defensive stalwarts like Joe Dumas and Rodman, then he should be in the lead, right?
He thought of Iron Fist's solicitation of him again, if he had traded to the Pistons and joined forces with Iron Fist, he should have won the championship at this time, right?
Such a mentality brought him and the Suns, except for accelerated collapse, there was no second result.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Zhou Quan made a fierce attack, the first ball was to kill in Barkley's head to complete a violent dunk, and then the three major defensive giants defended with all their might, he and Joe Dumas each sent a steal, Rodman grabbed an offensive rebound, and played two defensive counterattacks and a secondary attack in succession, and it took only 112 seconds to play a wave of 10-0 offense and defense, destroying the Suns' will in one fell swoop.
At 59:76, less than two minutes into the final quarter, the Pistons had a 17-point lead and the victory was established.
"Defend!"
With such a big lead, Zhou Quan still did not relax, and his roar drove the Pistons fans in the audience to shout defense together.
"The Suns are finished, finished!"
Seeing this, countless people only have this one thought.
The Assassin was already too excited to sit still, dragging one leg and standing up from time to time to cheer on the field.
In the sixth minute of the final quarter, 66:86, the Pistons had already led by 20 points, and the Suns called a second timeout in the final quarter.
Barkley, who had two turnovers in the final quarter and missed a point on 0-of-3 shooting, sat on the bench with a towel over his head, and in a place where no one could see, his tears couldn't wait to flow out.
At this time, his heart was completely confused, and he thought of what Zhou Quan said to him before the G1 and G2 battles.
"Hey, Fliggy, you have to cherish a little, this may be the only Grand Final of your life."
"Fliggy, I promise you'll never win a championship in your life."
"Is it just you?"
"It's up to me."
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, "My finals! Will I still have a chance to make it to the finals? ”
If Zhou Quan hears the voice in his heart at this time, he is afraid that he will be sarcastic, with this mentality, how can you snatch the championship from me and Jordan?
"Hurry up, all departments are ready."
At this time, the palace of Auburn Hills is speeding up and making final preparations for celebration.
On the ABC commentary bench, Bill Wharton sighed: "I only scored 7 points in the first quarter, the Suns' will has been broken, and the Finals are over." ”
"There's nothing wrong with defending to win championships." Williams nodded.
At the end of the timeout, the Suns did not change, but they did not give up, the main players still played, and in this way, the Pistons would not stay, and Zhou Quan and others continued to play the most powerful offense and defense.
By the 10th minute of the final quarter, the difference had reached 25 points, and the Suns finally had someone who couldn't stand the psychological pressure, and after a rebounding rush, Mark West was bumped by Rodman, and he cursed and twisted with Rodman, and Barkley, who had lost his mind, also went to help.
"If you can't bear it, get down and admit defeat, if you want to fight, I'll wait for you off the court."
Zhou Quan rushed over and pushed Mark West away, but ignored him, but pointed at Barkley with a big hand and shouted.
"It's too much of a deception, what do you want?"
Buckley, who was frustrated, completely lost his mind, and rushed up to push Zhou Quan.
"Stop!"
The referee for the G5 game was Crawford, and David Stern was sitting on the sidelines, and he couldn't let the court clash, so he immediately rushed up to separate the two.
On the sidelines, Barkley's wife Maureen was also very sad when she saw her husband lose his temper like this, covering her face and shedding tears.
The referee gave Mark West a technical foul, but did not punish Barkley and Zhou, and neither did Rodman.
The game continues until the end without suspense.
"Boom!"
When the final whistle blew, the cheers of the Palace in Auburn Hills were like an aerial bomb exploding, and the huge shock wave instantly began to spread in all directions, and it lasted for a long time.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Above the roof, more than a dozen large balloons burst, and countless streamer debris fell, spilling all over the venue.
"We are the champions......" The rousing music sounded at the same time.
"Oooooooooo......oo
"We are the champions, we are the overall champions......"
Zhou Quan, the assassin and others hugged each other excitedly, cheered to their heart's content, enjoyed the joy of the championship victory, and vented their excitement that had completely exploded.
On one side, Barkley, who had a broken will, knelt on the floor on one leg, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears, unable to control his emotions.
On the sidelines, Maureen was the same, wiping her tears from time to time and looking at Barkley again.
At this moment, she deeply experienced the cruelty of competitive sports, and as a loser, her husband will suffer the greatest disappointment.
On the other side, Christina Yerry and Bigmouth Roberts and others were clapping and cheering for Zhou Quan with smiles on their faces.
On the sidelines, David Stern stood up to applaud the Pistons.
He had already made up his mind in his heart that he must take Zhou Quan away from the Pistons, and with such a low ticket to the finals, the league would lose too much.
If Zhou Quan is unwilling to go, he will also have to find ways to force him to go, he doesn't want to see Jordan even enter the East Finals again, if anyone disagrees, presumably the bosses of the whole league will not agree.
Tickets are too low, the Finals lose a lot, whose money is lost, of course, those owners, and 45% of the playoff tickets are distributed by all teams.
As for whether the Pistons are willing to let go, the possibility of Bill Davidson investing heavily in renewing Zhou is very small, and the possibility is almost zero.
"Congratulations to the Pistons, who won the championship four to one and won the championship three times in five years." On the ABC commentary seat, Lewis Williams said excitedly.
"Congratulations to Iron Fist, you won the title as a big core in the second year of your career, your career has been successful, you have set your way to superstardom." Bill Wharton laughed excitedly.
On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li said very excitedly: "Congratulations to Zhou Quan, you are the NBA champion, and you will definitely be the Most Valuable Player of the Finals, you have achieved achievements that many NBA superstars cannot achieve in their lifetimes." You, hehe......"
Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Great! That's great! Congratulations to Zhou Quan ......"
Both of them are average, with tears in their eyes, and their excitement even exceeds that of the national team winning the championship in the Olympic Games, and they are a little unbearable.
The Olympics is not the effort of one person, but the embodiment of the sports strength of the whole country, but Zhou Quan won the championship in the NBA, which is really the result of individual ability and hard work.
At the same time, the strength of the dream team also made them pay special attention to Zhou Quan's victory, because Zhou Quan defeated all the members of the dream team in order to finally complete the championship.
For example, Barkley, a generation of superstars, who flies to play on the heads of the three super centers, the scoring champion of the Dream Team, is not inferior to Michael Jordan in the limelight at the Barcelona Olympics in 92, but under Zhou Quan, he can only taste failure.
"Hey, Charles?"
After hurriedly ending the celebration with his teammates, Zhou Quan glanced at Barkley, walked over and leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and greeted.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to taunt me? Then come on. ”
Barkley wiped his eyes, got up, and saw that it was Zhou Quan, and immediately turned his head, but said angrily
"Sir Charles, please congratulate me, and at least shake hands, for it is your etiquette." Stretching out his right hand, Zhou Quan smiled.
"Haha...... And mine. ”
The Rodman monster who came after him screamed and held out his hand.
