After Horry received the ball, Schramf blocked in front and only put half a step to defend, which was the main defensive shot.

Although Horry's three-point shooting is good, but the ability to attack with the ball is average, and the three-point shots are generally empty, and the big dream they created for him is empty, and now in the face of Schramf's defense, of course, he will not choose to shoot three points against the defense, but hoist the ball to the left wing low.

Because Gilliam defended in front of him, he was hanging from the back hand of Big Dream.

Under the basket on the right side of the basket, Rodman did not hesitate to pounce on Big Dream along the baseline.

"Flank!"

Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

"Zhou Quan."

Xu Jicheng shouted at the same time.

"Smack!"

Big Dream had already seen Rodman coming from behind, and after receiving the ball, there was no pause, and he went straight to the basket.

If Chilcat receives his ball and completes the offense, it will certainly be a wonderful pass that will be praised.

Under the basket, Chilkart was about to receive the ball, and Zhou Quan, who rushed down from above, flew up and snatched the ball directly in the air.

"Beautiful! Another rugby-style aerial interception, haha! Henem Chrisman, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.

The position was too low, Zhou Quan unhurriedly held the ball to the frontcourt, and when he reached the top of the arc, the rest of the two teams were in position, and the outside line was running.

He held the ball in his right hand, and his left hand just played a tactical hand tactic, and the next moment, it was a sideways turn that began to burst from the right side.

Kenny Smith gritted his teeth and took a sideways step to try to block the gun's hole, but the moment the two made contact, he was knocked to the ground.

"Offensive foul!" From the sidelines, Tomjanovic shouted loudly.

But the referee's whistle did not sound, he saw very clearly, the defender did not stand in position at all, was in motion, and he hit the iron fist, where did the offensive foul come from?

"Brush!"

Zhou Quan calmly shot at the free throw line and hit an open shot.

"3 of 4 shots, now it's 2:6, and Zhou Quan has broken the ball twice." Zhang said excitedly.

Mosaic attacked, and then called a timeout.

Zhang Li continued: "So far, all the supersonic shots are Zhou Quan, and the shots are a little too concentrated.

But Kenny Smith's defence didn't make much of a difference for him, and his shots were very reasonable, and I'm sure once Mosaic got him covered, he would definitely pass the ball to a teammate who had an open space. ”

After the timeout, Kenny Smith was substituted after just over two minutes, sitting on the bench with an ice pack in his hand pressed against the left corner of his forehead, and Samkassel came off the bench.

"Sam Kassel, nicknamed the Alien, a rising star among point guards, No. 24 in the first round in '93, 191 cm, 84 kg, a little three-pointer, mainly mid-range shots, strong back play, good at horizontal passing." Zhang Heli said.

At this time, Cassel received the ball and advanced, and Zhou Quan was in front and defended and retreated.

Cassel was very clever and didn't entangle Zhou Quan at all, and immediately transferred a large area to not give Zhou Quan a chance to steal him head-on.

Zhou Quan was indeed grasping the rhythm and wanted to steal the alien's ball, but he hurriedly followed and blocked it outside the left wing three-point line.

At this point, Horry was on the right, and Kassel immediately broke through with the ball from the wall near the left touchline.

Schramf moved quickly, blocking Kassel for a while, and then immediately returning to Horry's side, at which point Zhou Quan took the opportunity to get back in front of Kassel.

"The breakout failed." Xu Jicheng said loudly.

The alien had to break down, but Zhou Quan chased the defense in time and forced it to the bottom left corner, and he had no chance to break through, so he could only force a breakthrough, and then quickly retreated to close the ball, ready to shoot.

"Smack!"

But Zhou Quan reacted the fastest, followed up with a big wave of his hand, and with a precise blow, knocked out Kassel's ball, and then made a second shot and snatched the ball.

"The third steal in the opening game, Iron Fist broke out on the defensive end today!" Bill Wharton shouted excitedly.

"Iron Fist's tackling ability is incredible! Whoever holds the ball in front of him will be intimidating. Williams shook his head and sighed.

Supersonic attack, Zhou Quan holds the ball close to the top of the arc.

With his arrival, this time, Mosaic's defensive formation has shrunk significantly, and the supersonic perimeter has been given more space.

Two steps outside the top of the arc, Zhou Quan suddenly shook one-handed daunted, changed to his left hand to control the ball, and then accelerated his stride to pass people, and directly broke through Samkassel from the left side, and after breaking through the top of the arc, he hit the free throw line.

Power forward Chilkart has already lost Gilliam and entered the box to flank Zhou Quan.

"Brush!"

Zhou Quan shared the ball casually, Gilliam received the ball, hit a mid-range open jumper, and hit a ball.

“2：8。 Mosaic's pinch attack intensified, and Zhou Quan also began to pass the ball. Zhang Li said with a smile.

"The top-notch sudden pass, the general pinch attack is useless." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Defending against Zhou Quan is definitely not easier than guarding against Michael Jordan, or even more difficult." ”

At this time, on the ABC commentary bench, Bill Wharton analyzed: "Now Mosaic still wants to make the No. 1 position lively, activate the organizational function, and revitalize the team's offense, so the ball carrier is still the point guard, and Drexler did not let Drexler hold the ball too much, although the glider also has organizational skills, but the organizational ability is not as good as the real point guard."

But both Kenny Smith and Sam Kassel were guarded by an iron fist, and the purpose of the mosaic was not achieved. ”

Williams nodded: "Cassel is not bad, but he is good at back play, he has height, weight, strength, and back play skills, and after attracting the defense, he can pass the ball to the weak side."

But where does he have the strength to hit the iron fist with his back, he has no height advantage, and the tonnage strength confrontation is at a disadvantage, his back punch can't be played at all in front of the iron fist, and his strength has been weakened by at least half. ”

Bill Wharton smiled: "So far, the organizational function of Mosaic has been completely suppressed and destroyed, and my suggestion is to change the offensive tactics in time, let the glider dominate the outside attack and ball possession, and form an internal and external cooperation with the big dream, so as to have a chance to turn the situation around." ”

In the 6th minute of the first quarter, at 6:20, Mosaic trailed by 14 points, and the offense could not play at all, and he was completely stunned and was forced to call a second timeout.

Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "In addition to Zhou Quan's steal, Kendall Gill broke a pass from Sam Kassel to the glider, and today's supersonic defense has been done to the extreme." ”

"Four steals in the first quarter, 13 shots in the supersonic half-quarter, seven mosaics, six more shots in the half-quarter, that's what defense does." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

On the bench of Mosaic, the atmosphere was like an iron plate.

Even Da Meng didn't expect to play such a start on the road, and if he continued to play like this, maybe the whole second half would be garbage time.

Tomjanovic had to make tactical adjustments, letting Drexler control the ball, and Samkassel containing Zhouquan's defense and playing inside and outside.

In this way, other people's offense may not be able to play, after all, Big Dream and Glider are not point guards, they are mainly individual offenses.

After the timeout, Mosaic attacked.

"Hey, Clyde." Zhou Quan followed Drexler.

The relationship between the two is not bad, last year's All-Star and this year's All-Star, and Drexler, who is opposite Jordan, are all playing with Zhou Quan.

Seeing the iron fist defending himself, Drexler smiled bitterly in his heart.

In the '93 offseason, he thought the Trail Blazers would get Iron Fist, but Iron Fist was traded to the SuperSonics, which is still his regret.

Sam Kassel, who was holding the ball, saw that it was Kendall Gill who was defending him, and made a decisive decision to change the tactical arrangement of the head coach just now, and attack with the ball himself.

He immediately pulled up to the left wing, and small forward Robert Horry immediately ran to the bottom left corner, making way for him, and he began to single Kendall Gill.

Instead of standing there, the glider began to run off the ball on the right flank.

"Bang bang!"

Sam Kassel beat Kendall Gil on his back, Jill 196 cm, 88 kg, taller than him, heavier than him, but the center of gravity is also higher than him, the confrontation is not as good as him, two back arches, but the arch of Jill.

But he didn't have a passing target, because Drexler didn't run out of space to catch the ball under Zhou Quan's marking.

"Here." Big Dream clapped his hands and shouted in the low position on the left flank.

Cassel elbows his left elbow against Jill behind him and strikes the ball with his right hand.

At this time, Zhou Quan, who was running around with the glider, happened to follow the right waist, and when he saw Kassel's pass, he instantly turned around and pounced on Da Meng.

Da Meng had noticed that Rodman was coming from behind him against the bottom line, but he didn't notice that Zhou Quan was pounced through the penalty area, and his vision was blocked by Rodman and teammate Chilkart under the basket, so he immediately turned up after receiving the ball, and dribbled into the penalty area.

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan suddenly appeared from behind Chilkart, and with a precise strike with his right hand, he pulled out the basketball that bounced off the floor.

In fact, his vision was also blocked by Chilcat just now, but the full-level panoramic vision allowed him to still "see" the position and trajectory of the basketball, and then made a precise ball breaking action.

"Shet!"

Big Dream was so angry that he vomited.

"Iron Fist's fourth steal!" Bill Wharton roared excitedly.

"Oh, god-level steal ability!" Williams exclaimed.

Bill Wharton said solemnly: "No one in Mosaic dares to attack with the ball in front of Iron Fist, but they still can't get rid of the nightmare of being broken by Iron Fist, because Iron Fist's help defense is also top-notch." ”

With two minutes left in the first quarter, at 10:34, the SuperSonics led by 24 points, doubling the score, and the SuperSonics did not call a single timeout, while Mosaic called a third timeout of the quarter.

"In 10 minutes, Iron Fist has made new history, breaking the record for steals in a single quarter in a playoff game." Bill Wharton said excitedly.

"Six steals in a single quarter, up from five in a single quarter, an improvement of one." Williams laughed.

"Iron Fist made 6 steals in 10 minutes, and the next 2 steals were also sent in the help defense, and he broke the big dream again, and almost every three defenses can complete a successful steal, and the terrifying defensive state has completely stunned the mosaic." Bill Wharton said.

On the bench of Mosaic, the atmosphere was already in a state of panic, and everyone's brains were confused, including the head coach and Da Meng, everyone was already sweating profusely and their palms were cold.

Especially Kenny Smith and Sam Kassel, in just one quarter, their mentality has been shattered by Zhou Quan.

"Iron Fist, are you crazy today?" On the supersonic bench, Rodman joked excitedly.

Zhou Quan raised his hands and said with a look of surprise: "Could it be that God has already possessed my hands?" ”

"Haha, the Hand of God?"

"God is wearing the Supersonic No. 1 jersey tonight."

"God calls Iron Fist today."

The crowd and the fans behind laughed one after another.

At this time, in Chicago, Jordan closed his eyes, and the clips of the game just now flashed in his mind from time to time, and the steals again and again made his nerves tense, as if he was playing against Zhou Quan.

Then he thought of Zhou Quan's first steal triple-double, the steal triple-double that made him unforgettable, the second round of the East in '93, his dream of a triple championship was shattered by that super triple-double.

"This damn guy!"

gritted his teeth and cursed, muttering to himself: "Fortunately, this state is not common, only once a season." ”

His defence is also considered to be top-notch, with eight times defending one sitting, giving him a lot of confidence in his defence.

However, he knew that Iron Fist's defense was stronger than him, and perhaps Iron Fist's ability to steal alone was far superior to him.

But it is this ability that can cause great destructive power and deterrence.

BJ, his teammate, the Bulls' main point guard, if he encounters tonight's iron fist, I am afraid that it will be the same end, and the mentality will be broken.

Seattle Center Gymnasium, in the last two minutes, Zhou Quan did not play.

Big Dream continued to play, shooting 1-of-2 and 1-of-2 free throws to score a three-pointer under Matt Geiger's defense.

The glider also continued to play, missing 1 shot under McMillan's defense.

At the end of the first quarter, at 13:36, the supersonic lead reached 23 points in a single quarter.

This section also laid the foundation for this game.

In the ensuing game, Da Meng fought back desperately and tried to turn the tables.

But Zhou Quan's state is brave, especially on the defensive end, he played a super explosive state, and sent 3 steals again in the 10 minutes of the second quarter, 9 steals in the half, of which the number of steals in the defense reached 5, and the mosaic was prevented to the point that everyone was in danger, and the mosaic players opposite Zhou Quan didn't even want to catch the ball.

In the second quarter, the two teams played a score of 17:30, and at halftime, at 30:66, the SuperSonics widened the difference and the lead reached 36 points.

Mosaic did not give up and continued to send out the full main lineup in the third quarter.

But under the leadership of Zhou Quan, the SuperSonics still beat the mosaic back, 21:32, leading by 11 points in the single quarter, and 51:98 in the third quarter, leading by 47 points.

Zhou Quan once again contributed two steals and one block in the third quarter, and the cap was the opponent's power forward, and he made 11 steals in the third quarter, playing a god-level performance.

In the final quarter, Mosaic finally gave up the game.

In the end, 76:128, the SuperSonics won by 52 points and won the G1 battle in the Western Finals.

Zhou Quan clocked in in the third quarter, played 32 minutes, shot 14 of 20, shot 70%, shot 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored a triple-double of 34 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 11 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

In addition, Kendall Gil scored 20 points, Schramf 22 points, Gilliam 15 points, Matt Geiger 10 points, Rodman 12 points, Ace 13 points, a total of seven players scored double-doubles, three of which scored 20+.

On the Mosaic side, Da Meng had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and his shooting rate did not exceed 40%.

The glider scored only 17 points, and his shooting percentage was lower than that of Big Dream.

"Shameful failure!"

At the end of the game, Bill Wharton summed up Mosaic's performance.

"A great steal feast show!"

Lewis Williams summed up Zhou's performance.
