Mosaic offensive.

"Defend!"

Zhou Quan shouted.

"Defend!"

Rodman and the others then shouted, full of momentum.

"Defend!"

The Seattle Center Coliseum, and indeed the entire Seattle metro area, are shouting.

Instead of sending the ball to Rekasna, Barkley, who served the ball, gave it to the glider, who received the ball and advanced on the right wing.

Jose Hawkins, who is only 191 centimeters tall, is 10 centimeters shorter than the glider, and is a little more agile, and immediately engaged in a harassing defense, which made the glider not go smoothly, and it took six seconds to push to the front.

"Pull away."

Tomjanovich shouted.

Rekas responded and ran from the middle to the left wing, pulling Zhou Quan to the left wing as well.

"It's pulled away, this is not an opportunity to let Zhou Quan have a chance to wrap the ball carrier, or even let him get close to the middle." Zhang Li immediately analyzed quickly.

"Hawkins is not tall enough, and it is a little difficult to single anti-glider."

"Today's gliders are not the gliders of their prime." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

At this time, the glider pushed to the three-point line on the right wing, Barkley ran up from the low post to do a pick-and-roll, and the glider took the opportunity to break through with the ball.

"Bang!"

Rodman quickly switched defenses, and the glider could only make a jump shot, but it missed.

"Mine!"

Matt Geiger is still not athletic, and his rebounding ability is not as good as Da Meng, who moved in place first and actually grabbed this offensive rebound.

At this time, Rodman lost the glider, quickly returned to the penalty area, and made up for the big dream.

And Zhou Quan also lost Rekasna and quickly pounced on the paint area.

Schramf defended two on the left wing, and when Da Meng saw it, he quickly split the ball and passed it to Rekasna, who appeared empty.

Schramf immediately pounced on Rekasna, who was two paces away.

Rekas was just a role player, forcibly promoted to the position of the main point guard, not strong enough, not enough confidence, in the face of Schramf's preservation, even though there was a small vacancy, but his first choice was to pass the ball to Mario Elie, rather than shoot himself.

"Shoot!"

Tomjanovic was in a hurry, but Rekasna had already passed it.

At this time, Zhou Quan had already stopped and turned around, and when he saw Schramf pounce on Rekasna, he immediately pounced on Mario Eli.

Eli received the ball and saw that Zhou Quan was still two steps away from him, and immediately jumped out of his hand.

"Bu!"

At the moment when he jumped up, Zhou Quan took another step, and at the moment of his shot, he flew up from one step away, and with a wave of his hand, he hit accurately and shot the ball high in the air.

Because of the precise strike, he even had the strength to control the landing point of the ball and point it in front of him.

"Oh roar!"

The crowd cheered, and countless home fans raised their arms and shouted.

"Cover! Pretty! Zhang Li shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan landed, and the ball also fell, just in time for him to get it.

"Fight back! Counter ......"

The shouts of the supersonic fans paused.

When Zhou Quan was about to go down, he was blocked by Rekas outside, he immediately passed the ball to Schramf, and then bypassed the opponent and continued to go fast, and then took the ball back and accelerated to the frontcourt.

Da Meng went all out to defend from the paint area, the speed was very fast, and when he rushed into the paint area, Zhou Quan also stepped on the right waist position.

"Hats kill you!"

Da Meng's eyes were fixed on Zhou Quan, and his feet began to slow down and adjust his pace.

Zhou Quan held the ball in one hand and took off into the air, and the big dream also jumped.

"Buckle!"

The on-site commentator, Henem Chrisman, let out a loud shout.

But the next moment, Zhou Quan's right hand was thrown, and the basketball slid over the big dream that fell down and fell to the basket.

Big Dream tried his best to cover it, but it was still two feet short.

"Brush!"

The water splashes and the throw hits.

"Oh!"

The cheers of the audience rang out again, and they were extremely enthusiastic.

0:4, Mosaic Attack.

"Pass the ball down." Tomjanovich shouted.

Big Dream tried to get into the basket, and Matt Geiger desperately defended it, but Big Dream made a very flexible turn and went around it.

At this time, the ball was in the hands of the glider, and he was on the three-point line on the right wing, and when he saw Da Meng enter the basket, he immediately held the ball in both hands, and suddenly jumped and passed.

"Jump pass!"

The ESPN commentator shouted.

On the left wing, seeing Da Meng wrapping around the basket, Zhou Quan immediately turned around and pounced on the paint area.

The ball was passed high, and Matt Geiger jumped up and stopped when he turned and pounced in front of Big Dream, but he didn't touch the ball and didn't jump high enough.

Big Dream jumped up to catch the ball, sent it to the basket, and the basketball slammed into the basket.

"I'll just say that Geiger can't prevent big dreams at all." Ranbir yelled.

The Assassin said, "The game is not one minute, but forty-eight minutes, and it is enough for Matt Geiger to consume the energy of Big Dream." ”

2:4, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan holds the ball and advances in the backfield, and Rekasna defends.

The smile on his face was particularly bright, and it also made Rekas's heart flutter.

Near the top of the arc, he suddenly broke through with a one-handed flick, then changed hands and burst from the left, and when he hit the left elbow, Mosaic's defensive formation contracted to the penalty area, and his ball flew to Schramf on the left three-point line.

Although Schramf had a major injury, he did not have surgery, and he was out of action for a long time, and he was in good condition after his return.

His three-point shooting is very accurate, reaching 41.2% this season, which is the most accurate three-point shooting for the SuperSonics. Of course, this is also due to the vacant seats pulled out by Zhou Quan.

"Brush!"

Catching the ball, Schramf hit the first shot.

"Beautiful! The German hit an open three-pointer. The assassin laughed.

2:7, Mosaic Attack.

It was Barkley's turn to shoot, and after Big Dream went to the basket, he came to the left wing to receive the ball in the low post, and Rodman was nailed to the floor like a horse rejection post, he arched twice without much arching, and immediately turned over and made a jumper.

"Bang!"

The mid-range shot missed, Rodman turned around and grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed it to Zhou Quan outside.

Zhou Quan received the ball quickly, Rekas had already returned to the defense in advance, he accelerated to rush forward, coupled with a continuous small change of direction, forcing the opponent to run to the paint area and have no chance to turn around and stand.

"Bang!"

After taking off after taking off after taking a step from the free throw line, he flew with a one-handed dunk that blew up the Mosaics' basket.

"The mosaic has exposed another weakness, the outside speed is not fast enough, the return defense is not fast enough, and the supersonic speed has made three counterattacks in a row." Zhang said excitedly.

"The speed of the glider is average, and the strongest thing in his peak is gliding, not speed. Now that I'm older, I'm getting more injured, and my speed of defense has dropped further. Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "He is 201 cm tall, and he is a swing man, where can he run past Zhou Quan?" Zhou Quan's speed and finishing ability, there are few people in the league who can defend against his fast-attacking counterattack on the outside.

George Karl's offensive and defensive rhythm is already very fast, and two of the Big Three are not in their prime. ”

Mosaic called the first timeout, Tomjanovic emphasized the importance of returning defense, and asked Big Dream to favor the penalty area, try to limit the SuperSonic's low-post offense and basket offense, and reduce their offensive efficiency.

On the offensive end, he emphasized the coordination tactics between the Big Three, which is also the main tactic of the Mosaic team now, and he can only rely on the Big Three.

Between the Big Three, Big Dream is invincible in attack and defense in the low post, the glider is in the outside line to contain the defense, and Barkley is connected inside and outside.

Such a lineup, if it is at the peak of the Big Three, with a few of the most ordinary role players, can blow up the whole league.

But now that both the glider and Barkley are no longer in peak condition, especially the glider, the decline in fitness and efficiency is a bit big.

The timeout ends, 2:9, Mosaic attacks.

Barkley and Big Dream played together in the low post, and Big Dream hit a hook hand close to the basket.

Next, Mosaic's offense was improved, the outside line did not hold the ball to attack, and the ball did not stay in front of Zhou Quan on the outside, not giving him the opportunity to steal, mainly attacking from the inside, and waiting for the vacant position to shoot on the outside.

Olajuwon and Barkley, the two supergiants, teamed up in the low post, Matt Geiger and Rodman couldn't defend at all, and it was useless to replace Gilliam and Elvin Johnson, and they were blown up.

In terms of rebounding, Mosaic's two supergiants are also more dominant, but the advantage is not very big, whether it is Geiger or Gilliam, the rebounding ball is still good, plus the rebounding king Rodman, barely will not fall too far behind.

But the offensive end can score, and the rebounding ball also has a certain advantage, but the defensive end has no way, because Zhou Quan's offense is very good, scoring and assisting are all flowering, and Mosaic can't prevent him at all.

He doesn't rush in either, and when he hits the edge of the paint area, he either pulls up a jump shot or draws the ball after attracting the bag.

So by the end of the first quarter, Mosaic failed to narrow the score, 22:30, trailing by 8 points.

This made the Mosaic team very disappointed, and in order to chase the points, Da Meng and Barkley both played for 11 minutes, and their physical energy was exhausted, but they did not catch up.

The Assassin said, "Big Dream has 7 points, Barkley has 4 points, Glider has 4 points, Mario Elie is good, and he has 5 points, and Rekas's point is not a point." ”

Ranbier continued: "Barkley is only four points, and he is not a big man enough. ”

The assassin laughed: "The Big Three combined for 15 points, accounting for 68.2% of the team's score, their physical consumption is not small, which is not very beneficial to the next three quarters of the game, they are already old, and the tactics in the first quarter are not conducive to their physical distribution." ”

"I fell behind by a big score at the beginning, and I couldn't take care of my physical fitness." Ranbier said.

The assassin nodded and smiled: "In terms of supersonic speed, Iron Fist has 14 points, Schramf has 6 points, Hawkins has 4 points, Rodman has 2 points, Geiger has no points, and Gilliam, who came off the bench, has 4 points."

In addition to scoring, Iron Fist also had 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers and 0 fouls. ”

"This kid alone scored about the same as the Big Three, shooting 7 of 9 in the first quarter, 5 of which were fast breaks, 2 of 4 in positional battles, and no free throws." Ranbier said.

The assassin laughed: "Tekken's performance in the first quarter was very powerful and extremely efficient, which is the main reason for the supersonic lead.

The team's tactics are also good, and the fast break after the defensive counterattack is constant, which makes Mosaic unable to cope.

I see how the Big Three will play next, and how will they win if they can't limit Tekken's attacks and assists? ”

On the bench of Mosaic, the atmosphere was very dreary, with only the gasps of the Big Three.

The Big Three felt great pressure from Zhou Quan's offensive efficiency, and he shot 7 of 9, which can make people desperate.

In particular, the fast break was not defended once, which is a fatal defensive weakness.

Far away in Chicago, Jordan also felt a lot of pressure.

Because he knows that the Bulls' outside defense speed can't keep up with Zhou Quan's fast attack on the outside.

He, Pippen, and Ron Harper are not as fast as Zhou Quan, and they are all slower.

The only way to solve this problem is to return to the defense early, but this will affect the team's secondary attack.

"We're going back early."

Before the Mosaic bench, Tomjanovic said firmly: "After the offense is completed, the three outside lines will return to the defense as soon as possible, and will not give the iron fist a chance to play a fast attack." ”

Da Meng said: "Coach, this also has drawbacks, if we grab the rebound in the front court, the opportunity for the second offense is not good, the outside line is back to defense, no one outside answers, it is likely to be trapped, and the efficiency of forcing the shot is not high." ”

Tomjanovic said: "It's a real problem, but if the fast attack of the iron fist is not solved, we will definitely lose.

Well, when you go back to the outside, you have to pay attention to the back, and you find that we grabbed the offensive rebound and come back right away, so that's the only way to do it.

Also, Hakim, you and Charles take care to protect the ball and move it out in time, and I trust your ability to handle the ball. ”

At this time, the second fight began.

Big Dream plays, Barkley and Glider continue to rest, and the other four are all role players and fringe people.

In terms of the supersonic side, Elvin Johnson, Gilliam, Steve Scheffler, McMillan, Vincent Eschiu.

The assassin complained, "I'm sorry, I don't remember any of Mosaic's substitutes, I have to look through the information to find out their names." ”

Then he read out a string of names, Tracy Moore, Jaren Jackson, Henry James, Chilkart, and said:

"All four of them are marginal people, and I think the management is looking for them, and they don't want to compete for the championship at all. Mosaic's bench lineup can only rely on the three main forces to take turns to support until their physical exhaustion is clean. ”

"Thomas, you actually said that they don't want to spend money, be careful that the boss of Mosaic is looking for someone to shoot you with a black gun." Ranbir kindly reminded.

"Thanks, Bill, I won't say anything."

The assassin feigned startled and immediately shut his mouth.

But the duo had an effect, and many Mosaic fans sitting in front of the TV were disappointed with the stinginess of the boss Alexander, and the bench was so poor.

After two minutes, 24:34, the margin widened to double digits.

Mosaic replaced Big Dream, and Barkley came up to lead a group of fringe people to play.

The SuperSonics replaced Steve Sheefler, and Zhou Quan came on.

Da Meng sat on the bench and prayed to the Lord: "God, let the iron fist hit the iron a few times!" ”

"Brush!"

Zhou Quan answered Jaren Jackson's prayer with a hollow three-point slap on his head.

"Okay, Iron Fist hit his first three-pointer today." Zhang said excitedly.

"The big dream is going down, Zhou Quan should go in at this time, Barkley can't prevent him from breaking through with the ball, right?" Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "He should think that he feels good, and he can shoot outside, and the physical consumption is not large." ”

"That's how it should be. He has a lot of physical exertion, so he needs to control the pace and distribute the energy. Xu Jicheng nodded.

"Coach, this won't work, I'm going up."

Da Meng sat down for two minutes, and when he saw Zhou Quan hit a three-pointer again, he couldn't sit still, and after saying a word to the head coach, he couldn't wait to stand in front of the record table and prepare to play.

The glider couldn't sit down anymore and stood up.

After four minutes in the second quarter, at 27:40, Mosaic was already 13 points behind, and the difference continued to widen.
