At 5:5, the Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Jordan ran without the ball and took advantage of Grant's block to cut the right elbow to ask for the ball, and Pippen, the ball carrier on the left wing, seized the opportunity to cross.

Zhou Quan also seized the opportunity of Jordan to catch up with the ball, the two jumped together, Jordan leaned back sharply in the air, Zhou Quan pounced sharply, almost covering Jordan's body.

"Rebounding!"

Jordan still made a move, but it didn't feel good, he landed unsteadily, and shouted as he stepped back again and again.

"Bang!"

Jordan's hunch is still very accurate, this ball is short.

"No one can take it away, it's mine."

Rodman jumped hard, grabbed the rebound ball with his teeth and claws, and immediately threw it to Zhou Quan outside.

Zhou Quan received the ball, immediately attacked quickly, and kept accelerating against Jordan in front of him.

Kendall Gill sped down from the top of the arc and was still in front of Zhou Quan, but BJ was also chasing after him.

When Zhou Quan hit outside the three-point line on the left wing, he suddenly braked and stopped there.

Jordan didn't expect Zhou Quan to ask for three points at all, although Zhou Quan just shot a mid-range shot, but the feeling of three shots and one hit was definitely not good, so when he reacted and stopped, there was a full two meters away from Zhou Quan.

The next moment, Zhou Quan, whose eyes did not fluctuate at all, jumped out with great determination.

"Big vacancy!" Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly and expectantly.

"Three points!"

Zhang Li shouted at the same time, his eyes fixed on the orange basketball on the screen that was thrown by Zhou Quan.

"Brush!"

"Oh roar!"

When the crisp sound of brushing the basket sounded, the entire central gymnasium instantly became jubilant.

"This is the iron fist, the will is extremely strong, what if the second shot misses, pediatrics, he immediately came with a second shot and two hits." Magic Johnson laughed.

"2 of 4 shots, the difficulty of defense has escalated, and Michael is going to have a headache." Larry Bird said.

"Brush!"

Michael Jordan's response was very simple, and he hit a ball on Zhou Quan's head with a pull-up jumper.

7:8, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan came to the top of the arc again, Jordan didn't dare to break through the main defense this time, but paid equal attention to the three ends of rushing, throwing, and passing, and he couldn't relax at any end.

Zhou Quan changed direction in front of his body, and after Jordan's center of gravity moved, he immediately broke through from the left side, and when he burst to the left end of the free throw line, Pippen's help defense arrived.

Pippen on the left, Jordan on the right, and meat shield center Luke Longley staring at him and facing a three-bread clip, but Zhou Quan saw an opportunity.

With Pippen in the grip, Schramf got the space and he was moving to the left touchline, opening up the distance between him and Pippen.

"Squeak!"

The next moment, with an emergency stop, Zhou Quan's left hand that controlled the ball pushed outward, and the basketball flew towards Schramf.

"Not good!"

Pippen turned around and ran, but before he could do so, Schramf had already moved near the left touchline, four or five metres away from him.

Schramf received the ball, took a step back from the dribble, stepped back beyond the three-point line, and then jumped out to make his shot.

"Bang dang!"

The basket smashed on the inside edge of the basket and had entered, but bounced out again.

"Ahh

Schramf yelled angrily.

"Alas!"

Countless home fans also sighed with regret.

Luke Longley controlled the rebound in the backcourt, and the Bulls attacked.

"Kendall, limit BJ's passing to Jordan."

The Bulls didn't play a fast break, Zhou Quan ran to Kendall Gill's side and said a word, and immediately ran to Jordan.

“OK。”

Gill understands what Zhou Quan means very well, Pippen is the organizer of the Bulls, but the Bulls play a triangle offense, many times Pippen does not have a direct pass angle to Jordan, so BJ needs to make a transfer to form another triangle on the weak side, as long as he limits the passing angle of BJ and Jordan to a certain extent, then Zhou Quan has a better chance to stare Jordan.

"What a good vacancy, the Pacific Ocean is as big as it gets, but unfortunately I didn't hit it. It's a two-point shot from distance, probably better. Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Reasonable nodded and said, "It's possible, but it's not good to feel this thing." Schramf can shoot three-pointers, and it's because the space is so big that he wants to shoot a three-pointer. ”

Pippen held the ball on the left wing to attack and attract the defense, Jordan ran on the right wing, or used Grant's blocking to get rid of Zhou Quan, and then Grant cut outside, Jordan cut inside, but Zhou Quan bypassed Grant and Perkins in time, caught up with Jordan from the top side, and cut off his receiving angle.

There weren't many people in the box, only Rodman and Luke Longley, and Jordan wasn't afraid of Zhou Quan's ability to drill through the cracks, so he bypassed Rodman, who was deliberately blocking him, and ran to the left wing close to the baseline.

But he still underestimated Zhou Quan, who was quicker than him to get around Luke Longley, who was deliberately blocking him, but still caught up with him and cut off the passing angle between him and Pippen.

Unable to get rid of Zhou Quan, who was like a dogskin plaster, Jordan didn't stop making a move, simply ran to Pippen's side to catch the ball, and then immediately jumped behind Pippen.

Pippen made a cover in time, and there was no way to do it next week, and it was already a step slow to get around Pippen, and when he was blocked, Jordan's ball had already been shot.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and the two hits.

"Ahh

This kind of ball can also be shot, and Jordan himself clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

"Ouch, I was forced to run from the right wing to the left wing to receive the ball, this can also be shot, Jordan is really strong!" Zhang Li exclaimed.

"The pace of the shot is too fast, there is no adjustment, it is really a catch and a shot! If this is changed to another person, as long as the shot is half a second slower, and the ball is slightly adjusted in his hand, Zhou Quan will have a chance to defend it. Sun Zhenping said regretfully.

"The Bulls were really efficient today, conceding only one shot but two turnovers. The SuperSonics have conceded four goals, including one by Jordan. Fortunately, Zhou Quan and Rodman each had a broken ball, otherwise it would have been enough to choke today. ”

9:8, supersonic offense.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan broke through with the ball on the right flank, creating a small space for Kendall Gill, and then passed the ball, and after Jill received the ball, he hesitated for a moment before making a shot, which missed.

"Mine."

Rodman moved early and grabbed the rebound before Luke Longley.

On the sidelines, seeing that the backcourt rebound was lost, Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly.

"Look, as long as the rebounds aren't under the basket, Luke Longley's height advantage is useless, it's too slow to move." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Sun Zhenping said: "Director Zhang, Kendall Gil didn't feel good today, and he was hesitant to shoot just now, was it caused by the pressure of the finals?" ”

Zhang Li said: "Definitely, the finals, the pressure is enough to crush the average all-star, so if you can play extraordinary data in the finals, you are a real superstar."

Jill's reaction was normal, he was afraid of losing the shot, he didn't dare to shoot, but he missed the shot even more, shot more decisively, and hit a higher rate. ”

Zhou Quan took the ball and reorganized the attack.

This time he broke through from the top of the arc, deliberately breaking through his left elbow, attracting Pippen's bag and then passing the ball to Schramf again.

He felt that Schramf's heart was still relatively big, and he intended to ask for a three-pointer just now, although he didn't hit, but Bigill dared to shoot, and at this time he needed this mentality of daring to shoot, and it didn't matter if he missed a ball.

"Give it to me again? What should I do if I don't get the shot? ”

Schramf received the ball, but it was beyond Zhou Quan's estimation, and he hesitated like Jill just now, and this gave Pippen a chance, and Pippen immediately pounced.

"Ball."

Zhou Quan immediately ran to the left wing three-point line as soon as he saw it, and let out a loud shout, reaching out for the ball.

Schramf hurriedly returned the pass, Zhou Quan received the ball, Jordan chased in front of him, he immediately shook a shot, faked a real shot, and then burst in with the ball.

This time, it was Jordan and Pippen's turn to be anxious.

Jordan was shaken up, and by the time he turned around to chase after him, he was already two steps behind, and watched Zhou Quan burst from his left elbow into the paint area.

Luke Longley sat under the basket, and Grant, who was pulled out by Perkins on the right wing, quickly returned to the basket and defended the Bulls' basket.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan passed the ball decisively, and the basketball flew to Perkins in the bottom right corner.

Neither Gill nor Schramf dared to make a decisive move, he wanted to try Perkins again, if Perkins still hesitated in this kind of big vacancy, then he thought that this lineup would be useless, and after the Finals, he would have to suggest that the management make a trade.

Zhou Quan's pass was very fast, and although BJ on the right wing tried his best to make up for it, Perkins was two steps away from Perkins when he received the ball.

Perkins didn't hesitate, but his strength was like that, the pace of the shot was slow, and there were some bad things.

For example, after receiving the ball, there must be an adjustment action, squatting down while picking up the ball, and only jumping up after a pause, this is the rhythm of his shot.

At this time, BJ was already jumping up one step away and coming in the block.

At this moment, Perkins seemed to think that there was also such a ball in the G1 battle, and that time he missed the shot, could he shoot it this time?

"Whew!"

In the next moment, BJ flew in front and jumped high, and his blocking action had affected Perkins' shot and mentality.

"I can't hit it!"

Zhou Quan saw that Perkins's wrist movements were a little deformed, and he hurriedly stretched out his arms and stuck Jordan who chased behind him.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed into the basket and bounced in front of the basket, very high, and Luke Longley, Grant, and Rodman under the basket did not touch the ball.

Zhou Quan's position was just right, and the moment he touched the ball with his right hand after stepping forward and jumping, he flicked the ball to the basket, and the ball flew over the heads of the three people in front of him, threw it to the basket, brushed it, and drilled into it.

"Ouch, it's finally hit." Sun Zhenping breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's supersonic state looks worse than the last one, and the shot is so hesitant, and the psychological pressure is too great." Zhang Reasonable shook his head.

"I'm afraid of losing at home." Sun Zhenping said.

"I can still bite the score now, if I fall behind, how can I play with this mentality? Maybe it will collapse directly. Zhang Li shook his head again.

"Then now Zhou Quan must stand up and use his performance to liberate the mentality of his teammates." Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "Perkins should have not hesitated just now, but his shooting rhythm was too slow, and he adjusted it after receiving the ball.

In fact, Zhou Quan's pass was very good, and he didn't need to adjust it at all, but he still adjusted it out of habit, this is the gap between strength and technology. ”

In the front court of the Bulls, Jordan received the ball, but Zhou Quan chased in front of him again, and he turned around and made a backward jumper that missed the shot.

Zhou Quan was quick, Rodman grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and immediately passed it, but Luke Longley didn't have time to stop his fast pass.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the left wing three-point line, stepped on the brake to slow down, and Jordan immediately came to an emergency stop, but the next moment, Zhou Quan accelerated and stepped over, burst Jordan, and entered the penalty area from the left elbow area.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pippen returned to the penalty area and rushed in with Zhou Quan, but Schramf stopped at the top of the arc.

Is it a vote or a pass?

In a flash, Zhou Quan exerted force again under his feet, accelerated into the air, and took advantage of Pippen's unstable foothold, which was a positive strong buckle.

Pippen had just arrived at the basket and hurriedly jumped to block it, but didn't quite jump up.

The next moment, Zhou Quan, who had soared to the highest point, bumped into him.

"Bang!"

With the ferocious sound of the basket, Pippen was knocked directly under the basket.

"Tick!"

The referee's whistle blows.

"Oh roar!"

The Seattle Coliseum exploded, and a huge cheer rang out and swept through everything.

"Buckle! Iron Fist front dunk Bulls small forward Scottie Pippen! The on-site commentator, Henem Chrisman, roared passionately.

"Beautiful!"

Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

"One must be returned, and they must not be allowed to gain momentum."

Seeing the supersonic momentum like burning gasoline, Jordan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Under the basket, Zhou Quan turned around and saw Jordan's eyes staring at him, which were like knives, which couldn't help but make him more vigilant.

He then hit a free throw to give the SuperSonics a four-point lead at 9:13.

Bulls attack.

Luke Longley moved low on the left wing and under the basket, Rodman sat under the basket, Grant moved on the right wing, and Perkins followed.

Jordan pulled the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing, and then the others pulled away, and he singled Zhou Quan.

Tentative step, Jordan broke through, Zhou Quan retreated in time, Jordan retreated, Zhou Quan pounced again, Jordan took the opportunity to break through from the inside, killed to the right elbow area in two steps, stopped and stopped, entered the penalty area, went straight to the basket, and flew up against Rodman.

Rodman couldn't do anything but get out of the way.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, Jordan made a tomahawk-like slam that made the two thousand away fans cheer.

"It's-for-tat!" Sun Zhenping sighed.

"Jordan has to do this, the Bulls don't have a strength advantage over the superSonics, he dares to let the SuperSonics play the home momentum, and the Bulls have a greater probability of losing." Zhang Li said with a smile.

He went on to say: "Although Jordan has Pippen by his side, Zhou Quan also has Rodman by his side, and Rodman's role is very large, and his contribution to the team is no less than that of Pippen."

The Bulls did not have an advantage in other positions, although Kendall Gill and Perkins did not play well on the supersonic side, the same was true on the Bulls side, and BJ and Cartwhite also performed poorly in the last game.

The reason why the Bulls are strong is Jordan and strong is in the outside defense, and the reason why the supersonic is strong is because Zhou Quan is strong and strong in the ferocious defensive system.

Mr. Sun, you see that in these two games, although Kendall Gill and Perkins' offense is not very good, they are still good on the defensive end, and the supersonic defensive system is still working normally. ”

At the end of the first quarter, at 24:25, the SuperSonics led by one point.

"Iron Fist and Michael Jordan both played the first quarter, and the managers of both teams didn't dare to replace them," Larry Bird said.

Iron Fist strengthened his personal offense, and the first two missed shots did not affect him, shooting 6 of 11 in a single quarter, with a shooting rate of more than 50%, and 4 of the other 4 free throws, and one person scored 16 points.

And he also had two rebounds and two steals, a block, capped Grant when he cut inside, and had no turnovers.

In addition, Kendall Gill steals BJ once, Rodman breaks the ball once, and the SuperSonics steal four times in the first quarter, and it was only with the performance on the defensive end that they bit the Bulls in the score. ”

Magic Johnson said: "Michael didn't shoot as much as his iron fist, shooting 5-of-9 in the single quarter, also shooting more than 50%, plus 2 free throws and 1-of-1, scoring 11 points. Pippen scored four points on 2-of-5 shooting from Schramf's defense, and was inefficient.

In addition, BJ Armstrong made 1 of 3 shots and made a three-pointer, which was once again blocked by Kendall Gill and made a turnover.

Centre Luke Longley didn't have much of a chance either, and Pippen didn't give him another pass from behind, clearly not believing him and wasting his height. ”

Larry Bird laughed: "Actually, he can't be blamed for that passing error, Pippen's pass was a problem, it was his mistake. ”

Magic Johnson nodded: "This game is the same as the G1 battle, it is still quite anxious. Although Iron Fist adjusted his state in time, the state of the supersonic others was average.

As for the Bulls, Jordan is of course in good shape, but he has not yet played a very hot state, and his iron fist marking limits him, and he must repeatedly run every time he catches the ball in order to get the opportunity to catch the ball.

The rest of the Bulls weren't in great form either, with Grant scoring four points, which wasn't bad, Kerr coming off the bench to make one shot without scoring, and Tony Kukoc playing three minutes and scoring two points.

In the next game, the other players on both sides still have to adjust their state, and whoever comes out first will have a greater chance. ”

Larry Bird smiled and said, "Without a big heart, it is impossible to let go in the finals." What's more, the defense of the Bulls and the SuperSonics is very strong, so it is understandable that the state of the average player cannot play. ”

Magic Johnson said thoughtfully: "Since the strength is about the same, then I think the situation may slowly tilt in favor of the Bulls." ”

"Finals experience?" Larry Bird asked keenly.

Magic Johnson nodded and said solemnly: "Head coach George Karl is a rookie in the finals, and it can be seen that he has been in a very nervous state since the G1 game. ”

Larry Bird nodded: "Yes, he has been walking around the sidelines since the beginning of the game, which makes the players nervous as well. And even if the Bulls are behind, Phil Jackson will sit on the bench and will make the players very relaxed. ”

Magic Johnson took a closer look at Larry Bird to make sure that the temporary partner was not talking back, and then nodded: "The role of the head coach is so great, I won't talk about it, he is the commander, the commander is messed up, how can the team win?"

In addition to the head coach, the Bulls' roster has played in the Finals twice and won both championships, and even if they don't play well for a while, I believe their ability to adjust their form is far better than Perkins' gang. ”

Larry Bird also had to admit that the magician's words were right, and nodded: "So let's see which of them adjusts more timely, the role of the leader is very big at this time." ”

"Iron Fist?"

Magic Johnson nodded, but said, "But human power is still limited, whether it's Iron Fist or Michael." ”
