Chapter 297: It's impossible to prevent it
Zhou Quan holds the ball to the top of the arc.
He knows very well that it is not cost-effective for him and Jordan to play alone, his single ability is not as good as Jordan's, and it must be supplemented by passing, which he did just now.
Making tactical gestures, he began to pull towards the left flank.
When Pippen saw it, he immediately strengthened his attention to Zhou Quan.
At this time, Schramf blocked and dismantled Zhou Quan according to tactical requirements.
Just when the two were dismantled, Pippen gave up on Schramf and began to fight Zhou Quan with Jordan one after the other.
And at this time, Schramf immediately began to cut inside after taking it apart.
Zhou Quan easily passed the ball out of the bag, Schramf took a step forward after receiving the ball, and hit the left waist position for a jumper, Carter White wanted to come out, and he was afraid of Rodman under the basket, and the opportunity to make up the defense disappeared, so he could only watch the opponent shoot.
"Brush!"
Basketball hollows into the basket and hits.
"Beautiful! Schramf made all two shots, all of which were assists from Iron Fist. Larry Bird said.
"Pippen and Jordan can't block Tekken's passes, so it's of no use to the outside of Tekken, and it will only give others a big space." Magic Johnson said.
"So it depends on the ability to defend alone, Jordan must guard against the iron fist." Larry Bird said.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly, and after serving, he called a timeout.
At 8:9, just one point behind, Phil Jackson called a timeout. He's really different, the average manager is only one point behind, and it's absolutely impossible to call a timeout. Larry Bird looked appreciative.
'He's definitely going to have to adjust his defensive tactics.' Magic Johnson said.
Before the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said, "Gentlemen, from now on, give up the outside to the Iron Fist. ”
He said to Jordan again: "Michael, in a single defense, you have to target him and reduce his efficiency, and only then can we win the game." ”
Jordan nodded heavily.
Phil Jackson said to Grant again: "Hores, Sam Perkins' ability is average, as a center, his shooting percentage is lower than that of Kendall Gill, when the iron fist holds the ball to break through, you can put him in a proper position to strengthen the defense under the basket." ”
"Understood." Grande headed.
Phil Jackson said to BJ again: "You can also put Kendall Gill in the right place, his shooting is not very consistent. ”
"Okay, Coach." BJ nodded hurriedly.
Phil Jackson concluded: "But the two of you can only have one of the help in the box at the same time, and the other has to speed up the defense. ”
The timeout ends, and the Bulls attack.
On the right wing, Jordan suddenly retreated, and suddenly ran back with Grant's blocking, Zhou Quan was one step behind, and Jordan took the opportunity to cut inside.
At this time, Pippen crossed the ball, Jordan received the ball and smashed into the paint from the right midfield, and flew up towards Rodman.
"Bang!"
Rodman is too short, has average basket protection ability, and has low blocking ability, and is directly blocked by Jordan.
"Jordan made 3 of 4 shots. There is no height on the inside, and if the supersonic inside line was a little high, Jordan would not be so unscrupulous. Zhang Li shook his head.
Sun Zhenping said: "It's not okay if you have height and no strength, just now Zhou Quan blocked Carter White, Jordan definitely wants to return one." ”
"That's right."
Zhang Reasonable nodded, and reminded: "So the supersonic should pay attention to the co-defense under the basket, the inside line is not high, Jordan's breakthrough ability and finishing ability are combined, and he is only stronger than Zhou Quan, not weaker, he will definitely strengthen the breakthrough today." ”
Supersonic offense.
Zhou Quan held the ball at the top of the arc and found that the Bulls' defensive formation was a little inward, especially Grant and BJ, who both put Perkins and Kendall Gill two steps, is this intended to help defend the restricted area?
"Squeak!"
The next moment, he began to break through, and he made a strong attack to the right.
Jordan stepped back, and Zhou Quan made an emergency stop, at which point his full-level panoramic vision saw Grant start moving towards the penalty area, but BJ didn't move.
"Squeak!"
Jordan also made an emergency stop, and Zhou Quan once again made a strong attack, but this time Jordan didn't completely follow, only sticking to his left side.
At this time, Grant had already pounced on Zhou Quan's other side in two steps and formed a flanking attack on him.
Zhou Quan made a second emergency stop, took a step back from the dribble, and retreated from the bag, between the balls, the basketball was quickly pulled up, and then his right hand pushed outward with one hand, flying to Perkins in the bottom right corner.
When BJ saw it, he immediately pounced on Perkins.
When Perkins received the ball, BJ pounced two steps and then jumped out of his hand, BJ jumped to block and the ball flew to the basket.
As soon as Rodman saw the ball, he knew that the ball would not hit, but he was blocked by Cartwhite, and immediately shouted in a hurry: "Rebound." ”
Zhou Quan and Jordan rushed to the basket at the same time, ready to grab the rebound.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed the basket, and Cartwhite, Jordan, and Zhou Quan jumped up and grabbed the rebound at the same time, and finally Jordan grabbed the rebound.
"This is already a big vacancy, what is the cover of a small man like BJ? Perkins' ability is still a little worse, the No. 4 pick in the first round in '84! Water up a little. Zhang Li shook his head.
"Perkins has missed two shots, both of which are open shots on the three-point line, he really can't feel good today, Zhou Quan should pass him less." Sun Zhenping said.
"Bang!"
Turning around, BJ missed a three-point jumper, rebounded out of the restricted area, and was grabbed by Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan entered the left wing, and Jordan stuck to his right side, sealing his right hand.
He saw that Pippen had returned to the right wing, and Schramf fell to a step in the three-point line, immediately changed direction, controlled the ball with his left hand, and continued to break through with his power against the baseline.
At this time, Grant returned to the basket, and Pippen also targeted Zhou Quan, once he forced his way into the restricted area, he would definitely be caught by three people.
But at this time, when Zhou Quan hit the left sideline of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and blew up the ball.
Jordan immediately made an emergency stop and was ready to jump to the block.
In the next moment, the ball was quickly pulled up, Zhou Quan put his hands together and got up, and then Jordan on the upper side jumped up.
However, Zhou Quan did not jump, but pushed forward with both hands, and the basketball instantly flew along a direct passage, from Grant and Pippen's side, to Schramf on the right wing.
"Oops!"
Jordan just jumped up, but it was a flower in front of him, and Zhou Quan didn't jump out of his hand, but passed the ball.
Grant, like Jordan, thought Zhou Quan had a jumper, but didn't react to his pass, and only pounced on it and blocked it like Jordan.
Pippen, who was farther away, saw Zhou Quan get up, and when he raised his foot and was about to rush in, ready to grab the rebound, he also didn't react to this pass, when the ball came, he instinctively reached out to block it, but the ball was too fast and didn't touch it.
"Pass! Scalpel pass! ”
The on-site commentator, Henem Chrisman, reacted the fastest and let out a loud shout.
Schramf stopped one step at the three-point line and was ready to catch the ball, and when he received the ball, there was no defender within three steps of him, he calmly aimed at the basket and then jumped out of his hand.
"Brush!"
The water splashed and hit two points away.
"Beautiful! The German shot 3 of 3, all of them were open, and it was a big open, and the pass of the iron fist was too sharp. Larry Bird laughed.
"The Bulls need to know that he can make the deadliest pass anywhere with an iron fist, and that's the magic of the best point guards." Magic Johnson laughed.
Larry Bird said: "Iron Fist has three assists, Jordan has blocked one of his shots, but the pass can't be blocked, and it's really hard to lock the pass of this kind of top passing master with a single defense. ”
"It's not hard, it's impossible, it's impossible. Pippen and Jordan pinched, and neither locked the pass with an iron fist, and his vision and passing skills were too good. Magic Johnson laughed.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson saw Zhou Quan's pass, and his back immediately became sweaty.
But just after blocking Perkins for a ball, he doesn't plan to change his defensive tactics.
At 10:11, the Bulls attacked.
"Bang!"
Jordan shot three points, but Zhou Quan couldn't seal the ball, so he used the big method of sealing the eyes and missed.
Perkins grabbed the rebound, and at this time Zhou Quan was already about to fall, he hurriedly threw his hands forward, but he used too much force and went directly out of the sideline.
"Ouch, it's big!" Zhang said with regret.
"Perkins' passing skills are so poor." Sun Zhenping said in disappointment.
George Carr's face darkened with rage, and he vowed to force management to find him a better interior player in the offseason.
Glancing at Zhou Quan and then at George Carr, Perkins wiped the sweat on his head, just now he saw Jordan chasing the iron fist very tightly, and wanted to pass the advance amount, but he used a little more force, too nervous.
With only two minutes left in the first quarter, at 25:24, the Bulls led by one point, and the ball was supersonic and called a timeout.
"The SuperSonics have made five turnovers, a little too much, the Finals are inexperienced, and the players should be nervous." Larry Bird said.
"Jordan has 12 points and has the most firepower. Iron Fist scored eight points, but his assist helped stabilize the team. The two sides played very anxiously, neither of them had a big advantage, and now they have entered the stalemate stage, just to see who plays more consistently. Magic Johnson said.
After the timeout, Jordan continued to play, Pippen, who was not as fit as he was, sat on the bench, and the other four were Luke Longley, Tony Kukoc, Steve Cole, and John Paxson.
On the supersonic side, Jordan is on the court, Zhou Quan is unlikely to get off the court, the other four are McMillan, small forward Schramf, and the interior is Michael Cage and rookie center Elvin Johnson.
"The Bulls' inside line is not good, the supersonic inside line is worse, the bench is not good, and the outside line is okay." Larry Bird said.
Magic Johnson laughed: "But the supersonic are the first in the league and have reached the Finals." Their defensive system is good, coupled with the organization and offense of Iron Fist, Rodman's defense and rebounding, they also have a very strong advantage. Of course, the weaknesses are also obvious. ”
Larry Bird laughed: "Iron Fist's defense, especially the terrifying tackling ability, is too much of a threat to the opponent. He alone can snatch several balls back for the team with 3.8 steals in the regular season. ”
Magic Johnson said: "And the supersonic interior difference also means that the center is a little shorter, in terms of offensive strength, Perkins is still stronger than the Bulls' centers, and his ability to pull away is not comparable to the Bulls' centers."
What's more, in the power forward position, Rodman's role I think is better than Grant's, his ability to help defend and supplement defense is very strong, and his rebounding makes the supersonic rebounding better than the Bulls. ”
Larry Bird nodded, "Erwin, you have a point. ”
At 31:26, the Bulls led by five points after the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Jordan sat on the bench and Pippen went up.
Zhou Quan also did not play, with McMillan and Vincent Estus joining up the back line, Schramf coming down and Rodman coming on.
After playing two minutes, 35:31, the SuperSonics still trailed by 4 points, and there was a dead-ball opportunity, Jordan and Zhou Quan played at the same time.
Sun Zhenping said expectantly: "Up to now, Zhou Quan has only had one steal, and there is no block, and the defensive state has not come out today!" ”
"It depends on chance." Zhang said reasonably.
"Brush!"
At this moment, on the three-point line at the top of the arc, Zhou Quan took a tentative step in front of Jordan, and then stepped back to shoot a jumper and hit a three-pointer.
"Beautiful! At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Quan made a decisive shot and hit a three-pointer, and now he is only one point behind. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.
Bulls attack.
On the right wing, Jordan used Grant's cover to run back and cut outside, but Zhou Quan saw his movements, bypassed Grant in time, and cut off his passing angle with Pippen, the ball carrier, again.
Jordan simply ran to the three-point line to catch the ball and then singled Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan took a step back, leaned over, stared at Jordan with a pair of sharp eyes, and spewed trash words in his mouth: "Flying man, there is a kind of ......"
At this moment, his left foot suddenly took a step up, and as he leaned over, he poked forward with his left hand and made a stabbing motion.
Although Jordan was a little distracted by Zhou Quan's trash talk, his arms were very long, and he grabbed the ball with one hand very steadily, and when he turned around and gave way with his right hand, he easily let go of Zhou Quan's stabbing ball.
didn't stab the ball, Zhou Quan retreated again, but the next moment, he suddenly grabbed the ball again.
Jordan just came back from the posture of turning, who expected Zhou Quan to poke the ball again, and this time he was stabbed.
"Smack!"
Under the precise blow, Zhou Quan slapped the ball in Jordan's right hand, and then rushed forward, pulled the ball up after blowing up the ball with his left hand, and accelerated forward with all his might.
"Oooh, steal, Iron Fist steals the trapeze ......"
The on-site commentator, Henem Chrisman, roared excitedly, and the central gymnasium also burst into cheers.
"This bastard!"
Jordan was in a hurry to chase after him, but he started behind and was already two steps too slow.
"Bang!"
Zhou Quan quickly went down, entered the penalty area from the left wing, and flew into a powerful slam dunk and scored a goal.
"Oh roar!"
Thirteen,000 supersonic fans raised their arms and shouted.
"Beautiful! A dragon after a steal is a quick attack and a violent dunk. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.
"At 35:36, Zhou Quan scored 5 points in a row, and the supersonic speed has overtaken the score." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "Zhou Quan stabbed the ball continuously, making Jordan unguardable!" ”
Jordan pulled up his jersey and wiped his sweat, and glanced at Zhou Quan, he was already careful and careful, but he still followed Zhou Quan's way, this bastard is too cunning.
"Michael, calm down."
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson shouted, and after Jordan looked over, he made a blocking gesture, which was a reminder to Jordan to try to use his teammates' blocking and picking to get rid of the iron fist defense.
Jordan nodded, he was paranoid, but not stubborn.
Next, both he and Pippen strengthened their ball-handling breakthroughs, and intensified their attacks on the basket in response to the weakness of the supersonic interior line that was not strong enough.
In turn, Zhou Quan still combined offense and passing to maintain the situation, but some teammates played too poorly and were unable to open the score.
After the second quarter, at 52:52, the two teams were tied.
