After losing the game, Zhou Quan and other supersonic players left the scene as soon as possible, leaving the Bulls to continue to celebrate, and Jordan was also interviewed at the scene.

"Michael, do you think it's thrilling to win the G1 battle with a lore?" TNT's correspondent asked.

"It is to use the method of lore to make the opponent die suddenly at the most critical moment." A hint of coldness flashed in Jordan's eyes, and he said in an extremely cruel tone.

The reporter swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked: "You passed the last ball, is it a tactical arrangement?" If you were asked to shoot, would that shot be missed? ”

"Yes, tactical arrangement. As for me to vote, I am also full of confidence. Jordan said confidently.

On the sidelines, some stars were also being interviewed.

"Charles, where do you think the Bulls won today?"

"Of course it's lore, do you still need to ask?"

"So where is the hypersonic loss?"

"Of course, it is because of the lack of strength."

"Glove, do you think the SuperSonics have a chance to win the G2 fight?"

"Are you joking? It's not talk show time. ”

"Reggie, what do you think of the performance of the Flyers and Iron Fist tonight?"

"Almost."

"What do you think is the main reason why the Bulls won?"

"Defensively more aggressively, they did it to a certain extent by wrapping and cutting off the angle of the Iron Fist's passes, which limited his shots and passes. Iron Fist should be more of a blocker tonight, that's my advice to him. ”

"Bill, do you think the key reason for the SuperSonics loss is that Tekken didn't perform as well as the Flyers in the final quarter?"

"Tekken's performance tonight is definitely not inferior to Michael, and the Bulls beat the Supersonics, who can say it's not luck?"

An hour later, the press conference took place.

"Iron Fist, what does losing the G1 battle mean for the supersonics? Have you ever thought about the possibility of losing to Jordan in the Finals series again? A New York Times reporter asked.

Zhou Quan calmly responded: "It means losing one game first, that's all." As for series, do you think a win or loss can determine the entire series?

In my opinion, to lose this game, we should look at the loss from another angle, from a good point of view.

I think it's a wake-up call for us that we have to play harder to win against the strongest opponents and I'm sure we'll be more energetic in the next game." ”

"Iron Fist, Jordan has a 100% win rate in three Finals, he hasn't lost in the Finals, and you only have a 50% win rate in your two Finals, do you really have confidence in this series, not a hard mouth?" The reporter asked again.

"Your words don't affect my faith."

It is true that he lost to Jordan in the finals last year, so Zhou Quan replied very briefly.

"Iron Fist, how do you think today's performance compares to Jordan? Will you be held responsible for losing? A Washington Post reporter asked.

'I didn't play as well as him tonight, and I'm the boss of the team, so of course it's my responsibility to lose, and I never shirk the responsibility for losing.

Zhou Quan completely disdained to evade responsibility and responded positively.

His answer obviously stunned the reporter, and he paused for a few seconds before continuing to ask: "So that means that the G2 battle against the supersonic is likely to continue to lose?" ”

Zhou Quan couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, I have to say that your question is illogical. If you lose the last game, you may continue to lose the next game, then you don't have to play the series at all, you can decide whether you win or lose just by playing the first game. ”

After coping with the press conference, when he returned to the hotel, Zhou Quan didn't think about losing at all, and went to bed and began to practice sleeping pills.

To tell the truth, he was addicted to this skill, and he especially enjoyed the feeling of being a hundred times more energetic after waking up.

It's a pity that the current state of sleeping Dangong is not stable, and the state that makes him a hundred times more energetic is not common, and it is rare to have a state of dreamless night.

On June 3, the media began to tout Jordan's last pass, Tony Kukoc, who carried out the lore, but there was not much mention of it, and the honor was all due to the fall of the flyer.

On the 4th, the G2 battle began.

"We will win!"

At about six o'clock in the evening, when Jordan entered the arena with his bag on his back, he said confidently in the face of media interviews.

"Michael, will you shoot the last ball tonight?" The journalist asked.

"Who else but me?" Jordan said with a shrug.

"Isn't it Tony Kukoc?" Another reporter asked.

"It was just an accident, the last ball had to be mine."

Jordan is not so stupid, and the unexpected can surprise the opponent.

……

At eight o'clock, the starting list was announced.

Bulls: Verpeldo, Tony Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, BJ Armstrong

HyperSonics: Almon Gilliam, Rodman, Schramf, Kendall Gill, Zhou Quan

At half past eight, the game began, and the Bulls won the jump ball and attacked first.

Jordan entered the front court and entered the three-point line from the right wing, at which point Tony Kukoc deliberately blocked Zhou Quan, and Jordan took the opportunity to run to the right elbow area.

Zhou Quan's mental attention was 100% focused, and before Tony Kukoc could block him, he immediately changed direction and bypassed, only half a step behind, catching up with Jordan.

Then he accelerated hard, at a faster sheer speed, and when Jordan ran into the paint, he tied Jordan and stuck to Jordan's left, the ball was now on the left wing, and he cut off Jordan's catch angle.

Jordan rushed to the basket and couldn't get rid of Zhou Quan, so he immediately circled around Verperdo under the basket, he deliberately stopped behind Perdo, blocked Zhou Quan, and then rushed up to catch the ball.

At this time, Zhou Quan stopped behind Perdo, Jordan got the vacancy, and Pippen, who was holding the ball on the left wing, immediately passed the ball.

It's just that Schramf's defense is also good, reaching out to block, Pippen gives in, and the second pass, this time it goes in.

But his pass target was not Jordan, but Wilperdo under the basket.

The reason for this is because after Jordan used Perdo to get rid of Zhou Quan, Rodman under the basket immediately switched to Jordan, Jordan's vacancy was gone, and Perdo got an empty position.

"Smack!"

But just as Perdo was about to catch the ball, Zhou Quan came out from behind him, jumped over, and broke the ball.

"Oh, it's broken! Zhou Quan broke the ball! On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li suddenly shouted excitedly.

"The bulls will defend quickly, see how Zhou Quan fights." Xu Jicheng said a little nervously.

Zhang Li nodded and said: "Look at how the Bulls defend against Zhou Quan, I think they defended very well in the last game, and the hit rate of Zhou Quan did not reach 50%, if his hit rate reached 50%, the Bulls could not win the G1 battle." ”

At this time, Zhou Quan advanced to the top of the arc of the front court, and suddenly accelerated his stride, Jordan quickly turned and retreated, but at this moment, he pulled back to the three-point line in one step.

"Not good!"

Jordan was about to return to defense, it was too late, and he saw Zhou Quan pulling up at the top of the arc.

As the basketball flew to the basket, the two thousand supersonic fans at the scene, countless Seattlemen, and countless Chinese people couldn't help but widen their eyes

"Brush!"

In the next moment, the refreshing sound of basket brushing sounded.

"Oh roar!"

As the water splashed, countless cheers rang out at the scene, Seattle, and on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

"Fake sudden real shot, Zhou Quan hit a hollow three-pointer." Zhang Li shouted very excitedly.

"We have one more." Jordan clenched his teeth and shouted.

This time, he and Tony Kukoc were still blocking on the right wing, but after the split, he suddenly ran outside and Tony Kukoc cut inside.

Zhou Quan and Gilliam belonged to the passive defensive side, both were half a beat slower, Jordan ran out of a small open space to catch the ball, BJ, who held the ball at the top of the arc, immediately passed, he received the ball in the right elbow area, and then directly sideways to rise to the ground, without delaying for half a second, without making any adjustments.

At the moment when Jordan jumped, Zhou Quan, who was half a beat slower, jumped up directly two steps away and leaped over.

Jordan, who jumped into the air, saw Zhou Quan's movements, instinctively leaned back and shot calmly.

At this moment, Zhou Quan flew past Jordan's side, waved his big hand, and directly grabbed the basketball that Jordan had just shot under the precise strike.

"Shet!"

At this moment, Jordan, who was caught by Zhou Quan, was stunned.

"Oh roar!"

On the supersonic bench, two thousand away fans instantly erupted in great cheers.

"Oooooooooo......oo

On the TNT commentary seat, the Demon Bird group exclaimed again and again at the same time.

"Cover! No, grab the hat! Zhou Quan grabbed Jordan, hahaha......" Zhang Cheng was extremely excited and yelled and screamed.

"Wow, hahaha......" Xu Jicheng only laughed excitedly.

After Zhou Quan landed, he went down quickly, and when Jordan staggered and turned to chase after the landing, he was already about to rush to the middle line.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

Take a step from the left elbow to the paint zone, take off directly, rotate 360 degrees in the air, and then follow the tomahawk slash and slam the basket to the next level.

"Oh!"

Zhou Quan himself also shook his fist excitedly and roared.

Last night he didn't dream all night, but today he is very energetic, and he has a strong feeling of need to vent, and he is uncomfortable.

5:0, Bulls attack.

BJ held the ball to the frontcourt, and Kendall Gill, stimulated by Zhou Quan's performance, also became excited, and forced BJ with the action of stabbing the ball from time to time.

Pippen retreated outside the three-point line to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, Schramf blocked a step outside the three-point line, at which point BJ bypassed Kendall Gill and quickly cut inside, Pippen immediately passed the ball, and BJ received the ball and smashed into the paint area from the left elbow area.

Rodman under the basket had to take a step up to make up for the defense, BJ jumped, and after attracting Rodman to jump and block, it was a toss pass to Verperdo who entered the basket.

"Smack!"

At this time, Zhou Quan had already given up Jordan and pounced into the paint area from the right wing, and Perdo stepped on a one-handed layup after receiving the ball, and as soon as the ball left his hand, he slapped him.

Kendall chased BJ in and just picked up the ball.

"Oh God, it's the lid again, the Iron Fist sends the cover again, what does he want to do tonight? Want to hit a triple-double with a block? Magic Johnson stammered.

"Hehe, 2 shots and 2 hits in the opening game, 1 steal and 2 blocks, single defense chase defense and defense are very hard, Iron Fist will definitely explode tonight!" Larry Bird, with a smile on his face, shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the left wing, broke down against the left sideline, attracted Pippen's bag, passed the ball through the gap between Jordan and Pippen, Schramf received the ball on the three-point line, took a half-step back, shot in the open space, and hit a three-pointer.

"Well done!"

Zhou Quan praised it.

"Smack!"

Schramf excitedly high-fived Zhou Quan in celebration.

"It's 8:0 now, the Bulls attack, oh, called a timeout." Xu Jicheng said.

"If the bull doesn't call a timeout, the momentum of supersonic speed can't be suppressed, hehe!" Zhang Li smiled happily.

"You have to rely on defense, Zhou Quan's defensive state tonight is obviously better than the night before." Xu Jicheng said happily.

"As a point guard, the opening is two big hats, in terms of blocking ability and stealing ability, Zhou Quan should be the best point guard in the history of basketball in the world." Zhang Li said with a smile.

In front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson was emphasizing the need to be careful of Zhou Quan's defense, just one start, Zhou Quan was one break and two hats, both big hats got the ball, the Bulls lost three balls at the beginning, and if this continues, Jordan can only win by scoring 100 points.

"Phil, I'll play with the ball and open up the situation first."

Jordan thought of the last quarter of the G1 battle, he held the ball and singled Zhou Quan, and did not suffer, although he was robbed by Zhou Quan once, he also robbed it once, and capped Zhou Quan once, and took advantage of the defense, which gave him confidence.

Phil Jackson didn't have much to do, so he agreed, and only advised: "It's better to call Tony's pick-and-roll to help you get rid of him." ”

“OK。”

Jordan nodded.

His and Tony Kukoc's pick-and-roll is one of the Bulls' basic offensive tactics, and it plays a large part of the triangle offensive system.

Kukic can shoot three-pointers, although his ability to cut inside is not as good as Grant's, but it is not bad, and the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are very powerful, not weaker than him and Grant's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics.

The timeout is over, the game begins, and the Bulls serve on the left touchline of the frontcourt.

Jordan ran from the low post to the top of the arc to catch the ball, Virperdo made a cover, trying to block Zhou Quan, but only delayed Zhou Quan half a step away, and when Jordan just received the ball, Zhou Quan had already defended to the front.

Jordan didn't hesitate, he was too confident in himself, even if Zhou Quan was in front of him, he still jumped up without hesitation.

Zhou Quan tried his best to jump and block, almost covering Jordan's body, but still did not touch the ball, only a little below Jordan's wrist, a difference of nearly ten centimeters.

"Step-back jumper!" Larry Bird let out a loud shout.

"Oh roar!"

As soon as the words fell, the basketball brushed down the basket, and the United Center immediately resounded with a huge cheer.

"Oh, Iron Fist didn't lose his position, he could shoot a three-pointer from the top of the arc against his defense, and Michael was in the same shape tonight." Magic Johnson exclaimed.

8:3, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan crossed the front court and pulled to the left wing.

"Went to the left wing again, is Iron Fist taking the initiative to find Jordan and Pippen's bag?" Larry Bird said with some surprise.

"How confident does Iron Fist have to be in his ability to break through with the ball to dare to do this?" Magic Johnson was just as surprised.

After wasting a few seconds on the outside, Zhou Quan began to break through with the ball, first taking a step to the right, then making a sharp stop to change direction, shaking off Jordan and then rushing to the left, and down the left touchline.

Schramf moved a step along the three-point line to the top of the arc, widening the distance between him and Zhou Quan, and just threw an open three-pointer in, Pippen didn't dare to go over to wrap Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan hit the three-point line, and when he was about to reach the bottom left corner, he began to change direction inward, elbowed Jordan with his right hand, dribbled with his left hand, and slammed inward against the bottom corner.

Seeing that Jordan lost his position, Tony Kukoc, who was in the left waist position, immediately moved a step down and stood on the left sideline of the paint area, blocking Zhou Quan's way.

Zhou Quan killed Perdo's side, the moment the basketball was pulled up, he flicked his backhand, and the ball flew from behind to Gilliam, who was two meters away from the left waist, and at the same time he also jumped up and made a jump shot.

His jumper immediately shook Jordan and Tony Kukoc in front of him into the air, and Gilliam was completely empty when he received the ball.

"Where's the ball?"

The two who jumped and blocked saw that there was no ball in Zhou Quan's hand, and they were stunned.

"Vote!"

Zhang Li shouted, and before the words fell, Gilliam had already made a move.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and the two hits.

"Boy, don't you have the guts to shoot at me?" Jordan glanced back at Gilliam and spewed trash talk at Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Old guy, I heard that you only like to spew trash talk when you are backward, is that so?" ”

Jordan snorted coldly, I also like to spew trash talk after I get it.
