Zhou Quan carried the ball to the left wing, got rid of Hornacek with Perkins' cover, and bypassed Tom Chambers and quickly struck into the box.

On the front left side of the basket, the postman waits for you.

Zhou Quan took a few steps, slowed down slightly, suddenly changed hands to control the ball, and at the same time changed direction downward, sticking to the bottom line and entering the penalty area.

The postman immediately turned sideways and moved sideways to the basket, raising his hands high while squeezing Zhou Quan with his chest.

Zhou Quan accelerated past the postman, jumped from the left side of the basket, held the ball in his right hand, and picked up the basket with one hand.

The postman also jumped with the cover, but Zhou Quan took it with his right hand, dodged the postman's cover, flew under the basket, reached the right side of the basket, and then picked up the basket with his backhand before hitting the ground.

"Brush!"

The basketball swiped down the basket.

"Ahh

Scoring this goal on the postman's head, Zhou Quan also shook his fist and shouted angrily very excitedly.

"Pull-up backhand pick-up...... Entered! Beautiful, this ball is difficult. Zhang said excitedly.

Jazz offense.

Zhou Quan followed Stockton with the ball, and Stockton and the Postman made a high block, and then when Zhou Quan followed, passed back to the Postman.

The postman catches the ball and shoots at Rodman's head, but misses.

Michael Cage, who came off the bench, protected the backcourt rebound, Zhou Quan held the ball to the front court, pulled to the left wing again, and began to break through with the ball.

Unable to stop him, Hornacek hit the left flank, made a sharp stop, forced the postman to come over to make up for it, and then passed the ball to Gil, who was cutting back.

"Brush!"

With an empty basket, Jill scored an easy goal.

"You still have to rely on breaking through the ball, and no one for the Jazz can block the breakthrough of the iron fist with the ball, so they can't deal with this kind of sudden scoring tactic." Bill Wharton said.

"At 32:25, the Jazz trailed by seven more points." Williams said.

At the end of the first quarter, 34-27, the Jazz trailed by seven points.

Zhou Quan played the whole first quarter, shooting 6 of 10, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 16 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal.

The Postman over there made 5-of-8 shooting and 3-of-4 free throws to score 13 points.

"Dennis, use some strength to deal with the postman, we have to deal with the Jazz today, and it will be a joke to be forced to a 2-2 draw by them."

On the bench, Zhou Quan said to Rodman.

Rodman nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Iron Fist, the postman handed it over to me." ”

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides came off the bench.

After three minutes of play, Tom Chambers made 2 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws from the head of rookie Elvin Johnson, scoring six points in a row to chase the difference to two points, and the Supersonic called a timeout.

Zhang Reasonable said: "The supersonic interior bench is a little worse, Michael Cage is not good, Elvin Johnson has no potential, it is estimated that it is difficult to play, and the other interior substitutes are marginal people." ”

Sun Zhenping said: "The outside line is better, McMillan and Vincent Ace are not bad, but the feeling of the past three minutes is average. ”

After the timeout, the SuperSonics switched to the main lineup.

On the Jazz side, Tom Chamber, who has scored 11 points, continues to play, and the main center is still sitting on the bench.

"It seems that Hornacek can't defend against the iron fist, and the defensive effect is not very good, and Jeris grandly rearranged Stockton to defend the iron fist." Bill Wharton said.

"Brush!"

The fake throw was really sudden, shaking Zhou Quan broke through from the top of the arc, stopped in front of the postman, and hit a ball.

"Yes, four points, Zhou Quan's score should be able to stabilize the situation, and then try to defend against the opponent's attack." Zhang said reasonably.

"Bang!"

It was really defended, and Rodman was on the right wing in the low post to top the postman, and the postman forced a turnaround and jumper, and missed the ball.

Perkins protected the rebound in the backcourt, and Zhou Quan advanced to the frontcourt.

Stockton was shaken off his feet and lost his center of gravity before he burst across the right.

The postman came out from under the basket, Zhou Quan turned around and passed, and after hitting the basket, he hit a layup and hit a ball.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan burst into two people, and the postman couldn't prevent him alone under the basket. Zhang Li said with a smile.

Sun Zhenping said: "The postman's movement speed is average, and his ability to protect the basket is actually average, mainly because of his strong elbows, and others are afraid of him." ”

"Playing supersonic, he doesn't dare to mess around." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Jazz offense.

The Postman wanted to go deep, but Rodman moved faster and went around the front to defend and he went in and didn't receive the ball, so he had to pull it out and ask for the ball with his back to Rodman in the low post on the right wing.

Stockton didn't have a chance to pass the ball to the Postman, his downward angle was blocked by Zhou Quan, and he had to pass to Hornacek on the right flank for him to pass to the Postman again.

"Smack!"

But Zhou Quan had already predicted Stockton's passing options, inserted it in time, and successfully broke the ball.

"Oh, the ball was broken, the Iron Fist went down quickly, and the Jazz couldn't catch up with him." Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan flew up and dunked, widening the difference to 8 points and stopping the Jazz.

After the timeout, Tom Chambers was substituted for a rest, and Spencer came up.

The postman hit Rodman again, but he didn't get in, Rodman fought desperately, and the postman jumped, but he still missed.

Perkins protects the backcourt rebounding and goes supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan changed his offensive strategy, pulled to the left wing and played Perkins to block and dismantle, and after getting rid of Stockton, the slow-moving Spencer couldn't keep up with him, got an open space on the left wing, and hit a jumper.

Next, he used this method again to attack in a row, scoring two more goals, shooting 3-of-4, scoring six points in a row, and bursting the Jazz with a wave of wing offense, widening the margin to double digits.

At the end of the second quarter, 61-51, the Jazz trailed by 10 points.

"Zhou Quan has scored 26 points in 21 minutes of the half, and 40+ should have a chance today, and it is best to win the game." Sun Zhenping said.

"If you don't win, 50+ is meaningless, but it will be said by the media to score points." Zhang Li said.

"Director Zhang, according to the current situation, the chance is still greater, right?" Sun Zhenping asked.

Zhang Reasonable nodded and said: "Zhou Quan's scoring ability is still very strong, every time the Jazz want to catch up tonight, he is beaten back by a wave, this is the value of a superstar, and he can stand up at critical moments."

However, tonight the Jazz did a very good job of suppressing the offensive and defensive rhythm of the supersonic, and the number of supersonic fast breaks was very small. ”

Fifteen minutes later, the second half began.

Supersonic offense.

Michael Cage was on the field, couldn't pull out, and the box was a little crowded.

Zhou Quan came to the left wing with the ball and blocked with Schramf, Stockton and small forward David Bennaught were caught in time, but his pass was too fast, passing the ball through the gap between the two, Schramf received the ball and hit a jumper.

Twenty seconds later, the duo played again on the left flank, and Schramf got a chance to play Stockton in a misplaced single and hit another jumper.

"Schramf is good, he only scored 6 points in the first half, and his performance was average, but he scored 4 points in a row in the second half, and he felt good, and Zhou Quan will definitely pass him more." Zhang Lili said happily.

He really wasn't wrong, Zhou Quan saw that Schramf felt good, and frequently played blocking and dismantling tactics with Schramf in the third quarter, Schramf shot 4 of 6 in a single quarter, scored 8 points, and he also scored 6 assists in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 91:76, the SuperSonics had a 15-point lead, and the victory was in hand.

In the crucial game, the Jazz could not give up the game, and the final quarter played more ferociously.

But the SuperSonics withstood the Jazz's offensive under the leadership of Zhou Quan, and after half a quarter, they still led by 10 points.

In the second half, the Jazz's physical energy was consumed too much in the first half of the quarter, and the sharpness had been lost, and the supersonic took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, Zhou Quan sent a steal, and played a wave of 6:0 offensive within two minutes, widening the difference to 16 points in one fell swoop.

"Congratulations to the supersonics, three to one, the match point is in hand."

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan, promotion to the West is in sight."

After the game, Zhang Li and Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

On the ABC commentary bench, Bill Wharton said with a smile: "Iron fist played 45 minutes, 38 points, 6 rebounds, 17 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, shooting 52%, 3 of 6 three-point shots, and the efficiency is very good."

In addition, at critical moments, he had excellent psychological quality, withstood the pressure, and continuously repelled the Jazz's counterattacks to help the team win the match point. ”

"The Postman had 31 points and 13 rebounds, but unfortunately he became the king of empty chopping." Williams said.

"The Postman shot 44.4 percent from the field, and he didn't play as well in the last three quarters as he did in the first quarter, and Rodman couldn't guard him, but it limited his efficiency." Bill Wharton said.

After winning this game, Zhou Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the other half of his breath had to be promoted before he could be released, he still didn't dare to be careless, after all, when he was leading 3-1, there were many cases of being overturned.

In the other game, the Knicks defeated the Hawks at home to get a match point.

On the 17th, the SuperSonics returned to Seattle, and the second round of G5 started that night.

In the East, the Bulls defeated the Pacers and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals first with a score of 4-1.

After a year, Jordan reached the Eastern Conference finals again, very excited and happy, and accepted a post-game interview on the spot.

"Michael, it's tedious to go to the East without you, congratulations, you're in the East Finals again."

"Three grams of oil!"

"What's the most important thing you want to say right now?"

"We're back on the winning path and we want to keep winning until the end."

In the West, Mosaic returned to the home court and defeated the Suns with a score of 86-109, losing two games first, winning three games in a row, and winning match points.

The Suns were all inaccurate, shooting only 39.2%, and the seven bench players shot a total of 14 of 37, shooting only 37.8%, while the five main players shot 24 of 60, shooting only 40%, and lost a full 23 points with 97 shots, only 73 mosaics, and 24 more shots.

No one thinks the Suns lost unjustly, shooting percentage, free throws, three-pointers, rebounds, assists, blocks, trailing Mosaic in all aspects.

Mosaic shot a staggering 56.2 percent overall, rebounded 11 more and made 26 free throws, 14 more than the Suns, eight with free throws and played very aggressively, while the Suns only had four free throws and only made jumpers from the outside.

After the game, Barkley's face turned white, from the good situation of two consecutive away wins, to now about to be overturned, he seemed to be on a roller coaster, and his heart was lost.

And Olajuwon's face was red and hot because of his excitement, and he asked excitedly: "Charles, do you want me to help you find a good dock?" ”

"Get out!"

Barkley turned around and left, not at all in the mood to listen to Big Dream's trash talk.

"Haha......"

Big Dream laughed heartily in the back.

On May 18th, the second round of G5 continued.

The Seattle Center Stadium, which has gathered a large number of fans since noon, is already crowded by the evening.

Tickets for the playoffs are high, and the number of key games is even higher, but Seattle's economy is very good and it has a large middle class, so tickets have long been sold out.

"West Final! West Showdown! Western Decisive ......"

When the supersonic bus approached, a loud shout rang out.

At eight o'clock, the G5 battle between the SuperSonics and the Jazz officially began, 91:102, and finally the SuperSonics defeated their opponents at home and advanced to the Western Finals with a score of 4-1.

"West Final! West Showdown! Western Decisive ......"

This is the second consecutive season that SuperSonics have reached the Western Conference finals, and when the game ended, the scene resounded with extremely high shouts.

Facing being eliminated, the unwilling Postman played an explosive state, and the game completely blew up Rodman, within 46 minutes, 15 of 27 shots, a shooting rate of 55.5%, 7 of 9 free throws, and 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls.

But Zhou Quan's performance was better, playing a super-explosive state, within 45 minutes, 15 of 21 shots, a shooting rate of 71.4%, 3 of 7 three-point shots, a shooting rate of 42.9%, 11 of 11 free throws, 44 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.

Whether it was Stockton or Hornacek defense, he blew up the opponent with his strong offensive ability, and the Jazz really couldn't restrain him and launched an all-round pinch-and-stun strangulation against him, but his passing immediately gave the Jazz a taste of pain.

On the defensive end, he made Stockton only 4 of 13 shots, with a shooting rate of only 30.8%, two blocks of opponents, three steals of opponents, and Stockton only scored 10 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 6 turnovers with free throws, which fully demonstrated the ability of Stockton.

In the other game, the Knicks defeated the Hawks again, also eliminated the opponent with a score of 4-1, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

On the 19th, the second round of G6 continued.

Three of the four groups of opponents have decided the winner, only Mosaic and the Suns remain, this game is the home of the Suns, and this is also a game that the Suns cannot lose, and if they lose, they will be eliminated.

In the end, the Suns defeated Mosaic 89-103 with their home-court advantage, and the two sides fought to a 3-3 tie and will enter the tiebreaker.

Five Suns scored in double figures, two scored 20+, and AC Green repaid the Suns with 22 points for the big contract he was given.

Mosaic, on the other hand, only had three players score in double figures, and their form was slightly worse.

"Last year, the Suns reached a tiebreaker in the Western Conference finals and the SuperSonics, and then they were defeated by the Pistons of Iron Fist in the Finals, and this year they played a tie-break with Mosaic in the second round, so I am not optimistic about the Suns, even if Barkley breaks into the Western Conference finals, I think he will fall at the feet of Iron Fist again."

The next morning, Isaiah Thomas, the smiling assassin, spoke to the media in New York.

"Isaiah, are you more optimistic about the Suns going to the Western Conference finals?" The journalist asked.

"No, I'm more optimistic about mosaics." The Assassin said.

"Why?"

"Because at the critical moment, Barkley became a soft-footed shrimp, and he couldn't stand up."
