Leaning over to dribble, he took a step to the right, then turned and passed, switched to his left hand to control the ball, and perfectly burst Rekasna from the left side and into the paint from the left end of the free throw line.

Ross Barkley, who took a step outside the left midfield, was experienced, and he did not block in front of Zhou Quan, but between his sideways, he stuck to the left side of Zhou Quan, cutting off his passing angle with Gilliam, and squeezing Zhou Quan's center of gravity with his strong confrontation ability.

Zhou Quan did not make another breakthrough, and if he took another step forward, he would definitely be caught by Da Meng and Barkley, but a sharp stop, and then took a step to the right and pulled it to the front of the basket.

Barkley also immediately followed up, and Da Meng also took a step out of the basket, forming a pinch attack on Zhou Quan on the left and in front.

Zhou Quan jumped with the ball, and Da Meng and Barkley also jumped at the same time.

"Pass!"

Zhang Reasonable shouted.

Before he could shout, a one-handed back-to-back pass sent Zhou Quan's ball to Gilliam, who was low on the left flank, one step away from the left touchline in the paint zone.

"Where's the ball?"

Da Meng and Barkley were about to block, but when they found that Zhou Quan didn't kick, they knew it was bad.

Barkley was more than three metres away from Gilliam when he received the ball, and Mario Eli pounced two steps from the three-point line, but was also more than three metres away.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and the two hits.

"Beautiful! hit a two-point shot, which was a big open spot. Zhang said happily.

"Barkley shouldn't actually make up the defense, just stare at Gilliam, and leave the paint area to Big Dream." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Li smiled: "But Zhou Quan's emergency stop jump shot is very powerful, if Barkley doesn't make up for it, he can shoot when he bursts into the left elbow area." ”

"Yes, a lot of Zhou Quan's shots in the first two games were pull-up jumpers in the left and right elbow areas." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"Those two areas have a high shooting percentage, and Jordan is good at shooting in those two areas." Zhang said reasonably.

Xu Jicheng suddenly said: "Now I understand why George Karl sent Gilliam instead of Matt Geiger to play the starter, because he wanted to increase the offensive energy in the low post. ”

"It should be, this will sacrifice a certain amount of basket protection ability, and it is difficult to say between the pros and cons. Oh, Barkley misses mid-range shot......"

Zhang Hejie said, and then said: "But letting Gilliam play the main force is more beneficial to Zhou Quan's sudden scoring tactics, because Gilliam can pull away, Geiger's ability to pull away is not as good as Gilliam, and his mid-range shot can be thrown, but it is not very accurate." ”

At this time, Mosaic was shot by Barkley, 2:4, supersonic attack, Zhou Quan advanced to the top of the arc, and played an offensive gesture.

Gilliam again pulled to the left block, which is the area between the bottom left corner and the paint area, and he pulled straight to the bottom left corner, pulling further than the last attack.

Barkley could only follow out, two steps outside the paint area.

Zhou Quan began to break through with the ball, or broke through from the left elbow area, Rekas's strength was really not good, and he couldn't stop him.

When Zhou Quan broke through with the ball, in the bottom right corner, Jose Hawkins also suddenly started to cut inside without the ball, ran quickly to the basket along the bottom line, and the glider defending him fell a step.

When Zhou Quan hit the left elbow area, this time Barkley, who was further out of the position, could not come over to make up for the defense, and Da Meng had to come out from under the basket.

Zhou Quan took a step in from the upper left corner of the paint area, and when he saw the big dream coming out, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately stopped and closed the ball and jumped out.

That's when Hawkins quickly cut into the box along the baseline.

"Slap you!"

With a roar in his heart, Big Dream flew away from one step away and sealed it.

Zhou Quan suddenly threw his hands and turned the shot into a pass, and the ball flew from the sky above Da Meng to the right side of the basket.

"Passing?"

The gesture was wrong, and Da Meng was stunned.

Hawkins cut in, saw Zhou Quan's ball passing, immediately adjusted his pace, and then flew up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed it.

"Bang!"

In the stunned amazement of the big dream, the basket behind him was exploded.

"Beautiful!"

The assassin shouted excitedly and said, "Iron Fist has once again played a breakthrough tactic, and it has succeeded again." With two assists in the opening game, isn't he going to shoot himself today? ”

Ranbir scolded, "Big Dream is an idiot, he didn't even notice the back cut from the weak side. ”

The assassin laughed: "Hawkins hid in the bottom right corner, cut inside along the baseline, Big Dream came out from under the basket, blind spot, it was normal not to notice." ”

4:4, Mosaic attack.

Big Dream was in the basket, Gilliam circled forward, and the glider with the ball on the right wing still hoisted the ball over Hawkins' head.

At this moment, when the glider's ball was just shot, Zhou Quan on the left wing turned around and pounced on the penalty area.

Rodman, who was in the right midfield, also turned and pounced on the basket.

Schramf in the high post did the same, turning and pounced on the basket.

Under the basket, Gilliam fought desperately, pulling and pulling, and today he defended the big dream, with only one task, to buy time for his teammates to wrap the basket.

Da Meng still received the ball, but under Gilliam's defense, he didn't seize the opportunity to complete the offense directly, and after landing, Rodman was the first to pounce in front of him, then Schramf, and finally Zhou Quan, who was caught by four people under the basket.

At this moment, like a prey, he fell into the supersonic pincer trap and began to struggle desperately.

"Oh, Extreme Defense!" The assassin shouted excitedly.

"Jordan's Law!" Ranbir yelled even more excitedly.

"No, there's no Jordan's rule, it's all his fans, Bill, don't talk nonsense." The Assassin immediately corrected.

Da Meng was besieged by four people, and he grabbed the ball with both hands and raised it high, trying to pass it out, but at this time, Rodman suddenly grabbed a handful of his left armpit, and his hand loosened under the itch.

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan took advantage of the opportunity to burst into flames and knocked the ball off with a precise blow.

"Ball!"

Schramf picked up the ball, turned around and saw that Hawkins was almost at the top of the arc, and threw the ball over with a loud shout.

The glider chased after him, saw the ball coming, and quickly sped up to overtake it.

Hawkins received the ball across the free-throw line, saw that the glider had stopped under the basket, and then went one step further and made a sharp stop.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed into the basket and hit the two-point shot.

"6:4, Supersonic played a successful basket pinch defense, and it was a desperate four-clip one, Da Meng was a little caught off guard!" Zhang said excitedly.

Xu Jicheng analyzed: "Looking at this defense, today's supersonic pinch defense should be more fierce than the previous two." ”

"Let's see how we defend against it." Zhang said reasonably.

Mosaic attacked, Barkley came out to block the glider, Rodman quickly changed guards, the glider broke through and pulled back to the three-point line.

Barkley saw it, quickly ran down, and reached for the ball, his intention was to play a mismatch, because the person next to him was Hawkins.

Just then, Big Dream entered the basket, stuck Gilliam behind him at a step forward on the right side of the basket, reached out to the glider and shouted, "Ball." ”

Both men had chances, and the glider opted for Big Dream under the basket, where he was closer to the basket, and he took a step to the side, avoiding Rodman and passing the ball in.

On the left wing, Rekasna pulled to the three-point line near the sideline, Zhou Quan put three meters and two big steps, one step away from the paint area, and stayed in the left elbow area, and at the moment of passing the ball in the paint area, he pounced on the basket.

Big Dream catches the ball with one hand, then immediately closes the ball and turns right, hitting his right elbow on Gilliam's arm behind him.

Gilliam's tonnage is not enough, 12 kilograms lighter than Da Meng, and he was directly elbowed back on the spot, Da Meng took the opportunity to burst out, and his right elbow continued to top the card position, not giving Gilliam a chance to get close, and held the ball in his left hand.

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan rushed to the horse, jumped between his bodies, and under the precise blow, slapped his left hand and slapped it away, fanning the ball into the air.

"Oh!"

There was an exclamation at the Compaq Center.

"Oh roar!"

The cheers of the two thousand away fans immediately rang out.

"Iron Hat! Iron Fist fanned the big dream! The assassin roared excitedly.

Schramf, who came down from a high position, jumped up and grabbed the ball, Zhou Quan turned around and took the ball and began to go down quickly, and the big dream who was fanned behind threw off his two arms and chased after him.

Zhou Quan hit the top of the arc, Mario Elli blocked, and he changed direction and burst over.

"It's more than thirty-three years old, and he can still run like this, what kind of feed did this guy grow up on?"

But Da Meng took the opportunity to catch up and actually ran at level with him, which made him surprise Da Meng's speed.

He accelerated the speed, and the big dream struggled to catch up, not falling behind.

When he reached the top of the arc, Da Meng was only half a step behind, and he shook his head left and right, first seeing Rodman and the glider on the left flank, then Hawkins and Barkley two steps behind, then Schramf and Mario Eli, Gilliam, and Rekasna on the right flank.

None of the teammates got rid of the defenders, and the ball came on its own.

He held the ball to the free throw line, did not close the ball, but directly hit the basket, a quick stop to close the ball, and then squatted back with both feet, and his body flew diagonally backwards.

"Not good!"

Da Meng only thought that Zhou Quan was a layup, so he jumped on the spot to block, but he immediately saw that the distance between himself and Zhou Quan had widened, and he knew that he had misjudged.

"Throw back!" Zhang Li shouted.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The angle of the ball was very large, sliding over the palm of Da Meng's hand, and then landing on the rim of the basket, and after two bounces, it still fell into the basket.

"Beautiful! Under the basket, Zhou Quan scored the first goal of the day. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

After succeeding, Zhou Quan also waved his fist a few times excitedly.

This goal shows that his condition today is not very bad, of course, there are still some problems with the accuracy, the close-range throw failed to hit the hollow ball, and it will pop up if it is a little more off.

Da Meng was very annoyed, he ate Zhou Quan's hat, but he caught up but was beaten one, if he could return a hat, he could save face, and now he has lost face.

At 8:4, Mosaic called a timeout after serving.

"Stepping up against other people, Iron Fist's desire to attack today wasn't very strong, which is a good sign and an opportunity for us."

After saying a word to the players, Tomjanovic said to Ross Barkley: "Charles, you keep an eye on Gilliam, don't make up the iron fist easily, unless you can cut off the angle of his pass and the open player. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Barkley's reaction, he said to Big Dream: "Hakim, you have to guard our paint area, don't let the iron fist go in and score easily, you have to reduce his scoring efficiency and weaken their low post offense, I believe you can do it." ”

Da Meng nodded firmly, "I will." ”

Tomjanovic said to everyone again: "Iron Fist's desire to attack is not very strong, and he has two assists in the opening game, so today he must be inclined to pass and assist instead of scoring himself, so keep an eye on your guys, don't give them empty spaces, OK?" ”

“OK。”

He added: "On the offensive end, they just played a four-and-one game against Hakim under the basket, and it must have been a premeditated tactic, and we have to play against that.

Hakim, be sure to notice when they shrink their defense, pass the ball to the open space, and don't let the ball die in your hands again, understand? ”

"Understood."

Big Dream nodded fiercely.

At this point, the timeout ends and the game resumes.

The glider holds the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing, Barkley suddenly comes up from the low post on the right wing to make a pick-and-roll, and then Big Dream enters the basket from the left wing to ask for the ball.

The glider broke through with the ball through the wall, and Rodman switched defenses, at which point he suddenly passed the ball to Barkley from beyond the three-point line.

"Misplaced!" Zhang said urgently.

"Brush!"

Barkley received the ball and didn't hesitate to hit a three-pointer over Hawkins' head and hit one.

"Oh roar!"

The stadium was filled with cheers from the home fans.

"8:7, this shot is decisive." Xu Jicheng said.

"Barkley's peak was in the '89/90 season, where he shot 60 per cent, and until the '92/93 season, he stayed at his peak and then started to decline.

The previous two seasons were okay, and the shooting rate in the playoffs could still be maintained at 50%, but this playoffs, his shooting rate has dropped to 44%, and the form loss is a bit much. ”

"Old, injuries, declining fitness, otherwise Philadelphia and the Suns wouldn't have traded him." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"The main reason is that the ability to lead the team is not good, the psychological quality is average, there is no kind of desperate desire to win, and the chain is dropped at the critical moment." Zhang Li said with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Quan began to break through with the ball from the top of the arc.

He had already noticed that the Mosaics' defense had not shrunk as much as before. He knew very well what that meant.

When he burst to the left end of the free throw line, Da Meng had already mentioned the next position at the free throw line, where he could not only prevent his breakthrough and shooting, but also defend Rodman under the basket.

In other words, whether he is shooting or passing, Big Dream can defend.

"Squeak!"

With a sharp stop, Rekas immediately chased after him and stabbed the basketball he controlled with his left hand from behind.

"Bang!"

Dribbling the ball under his hips, pulling the ball up from the front of him with his right hand, then closing the ball, and then jumping sideways to the right, escaping from the front and back strikes of Big Dream and Rekasna.

Seeing this, Da Meng immediately took a quick step sideways, and then jumped into the cover.

At this time, Zhou Quan had already jumped up after jumping, but instead of shooting, after attracting the block of Da Meng, when he jumped into the air, his hands pushed down sharply, and the basketball hit the floor and bounced to Rodman under the basket.

"Not good!" Big dreams were shocked.

"Hit the ground and pass!" Zhang Li exclaimed.

"Bang!"

Under the basket, Rodman received the ball and immediately made a layup, but it missed.

"Ouch missed!"

Xu Jicheng's eyelids exploded.

Big Dream turned around and jumped at the same time as Rodman, grabbing the backcourt rebound with a height advantage.

"Alas! The attack of the big worm is a pit. The Assassin sighed.

"He? He's a supersonic two, two, two, haha! Ranbir laughed.
