Chapter 395: The Second Time

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

Zhou Quan came to the left flank and fought with Schramf.

He spared no effort on the defensive end today, but he played a lot of blocking and dismantling tactics on the offensive end, controlled the number of breakthroughs with the ball, strengthened the passing, and intentionally saved physical energy on the offensive end, with the intention of preparing for the G4 game.

The original plan was to win the G4 game anyway once he lost tonight's G3 game, and there would be no problem with this Western Conference final after getting the match point.

But tonight's teammates were in good shape, his defensive state and passing were also good, and although the Big Three played well, they actually played a draw, which gave him an idea, so he just said the idea of sweeping.

After the disassembly, Mario Ely and backup point guard Lieren Jackson did not switch defenses, not giving him and Schramf a chance to play mismatch.

At the last critical moment, he no longer retained his physical strength, and directly began to break through with the ball, shook off the chasing Jaren Jackson, and strode towards the penalty area.

Schramf didn't stop at the three-point line either, trailing Zhou Quanshun and cutting quickly into the paint.

Barkley blocked the position of one step in the left waist position, Da Meng sat under the basket, and when Zhou Quan hit the left waist position, he changed direction slightly upward, avoiding Barkley and then entering the penalty area, at this time he had completed the ball.

Charles Barkley immediately turned around to chase after him, and when Da Meng saw Zhou Quan closing the ball, he immediately took a step forward and raised his hands.

Zhou Quan jumped up, but his right hand suddenly passed backhand, and the ball flew from behind to Schramf, who had just cut into the left waist.

"Not good!"

Big Dream and Barkley trembled in their hearts, knowing that they had been fooled.

"Brush!"

In the left midfield, Schramf took a step forward after receiving the ball and hit a jumper behind Barkley.

“96:94。 Schramf had a good day, scoring 22 points, shooting 62.5 percent from the field, and his shots were almost always open and misplaced. Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"Either Zhou Quan used the ball to break through to create an empty space for him, or he played blocking and dismantling to create a dislocation." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Mosaic attacked, facing the defense of McMillan, who gave up two tackles in 22 minutes after coming off the bench, the glider did not dare to shoot easily and handed the ball to Barkley in the low post on the right wing.

Barkley arched Rodman twice, but he didn't have any stamina, no arching.

"Ball!"

At this time, Big Dream entered the basket from the low post on the left wing, stuck Matt Geiger at all costs, and asked Barkley for the ball, and Barkley hurriedly passed in.

Matt Geiger desperately resisted Da Meng, his elbows were up, and he slowed Da Meng's attack for a second with all his strength, and when Da Meng shook twice in a row and then shot, Rodman pounced on the basket and stopped his attack, and then Schramf and Zhou Quan also pounced under the basket and formed a four-clamp one against him, and he could only force his shot.

"Smack!"

Schramf slapped the ball that Da Meng threw to the basket and was picked up by Zhou Quan.

"Beautiful! At the critical moment, the supersonic speed played the most ferocious basket pinch, and the big dream was capped! Now Zhou Quan is coming down! Zhang said excitedly.

Although the glider, Rekasna and Mario Eli couldn't run, they were all desperate to win this game, and they successfully returned to the defense.

When Zhou Quan reached the top of the arc with the ball, Sekas was in front of him, and inside was the glider and Mario Eli.

He stopped at the top of the arc and closed the ball, and Sekas pounced on it.

At this time, the rest of the people on both sides came up, Rodman and Gilliam rushed down from his side, Schramf stopped on the left wing three-point line, Barkley stopped next to Schramf, McMillan stopped one step inside the right-wing three-point line, close to the sideline, but Big Dream stopped on his right side, forming a two-in-one with Sekasna, who pounced.

"Whoosh!"

Even if Da Meng cut off his passing angle with the right wing, he couldn't stop Zhou Quan's pass, and he raised the ball with both hands and shook it upward, but after Da Meng and Rekas jumped, he suddenly closed the pass, and the ball flew to McMillan near the right-wing sideline.

"Big vacancy! Shoot! ”

Seeing that McMillan had received the ball, the Assassin let out a shout.

McMillan, who had no defenders within four metres of him, took a step forward after receiving the ball, took a short breath, exhaled again, and jumped out again.

"For my second championship!"

At the critical moment, at the moment of the shot, this sentence sounded in his heart.

"Brush!"

The basketball plunged headlong into the hoop, and then the water splashed.

"Ahh

The moment the ball went in, McMillan jumped up excitedly and swung his right fist hard.

"Oh roar!"

On the supersonic bench, 2,000 away fans also roared and shouted excitedly when the ball went in.

"The 20th assist, congratulations to Zhou Quan, you broke your personal single-game playoff assist record, and also got the first 20+20 data in the playoffs." Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

"With 68 seconds left, it's 98:94 and the supersonic lead is four points." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Mosaic offensive.

On the right wing, Barkley came up to do a block, Da Meng entered the basket to attract the defense, the glider broke through the wall, and when Rodman changed the defense, he suddenly passed back to Barkley who stayed on the three-point line.

Barkley received the ball, faced with McMillan's hyena-like tangled defense, felt unsure and wanted to pass it.

At this time, Big Dream came out from under the basket, came to the low post on the right wing, stuck Matt Geiger, and yelled: "Give it to me!" ”

Barkley jumped up and threw the ball with both hands.

"Jump pass!" Xu Jicheng said.

"Zhou Quan!"

Zhang had a better vision and not only saw the movement of Zhou Quan on the weak side, but also saw Schramf rushing down from the high position.

Zhou Quan had already pounced from his left elbow into the penalty area and went straight to the basket.

Two meters away from him, Schramf was the same, but not as fast as him, half a step slower.

At this time, the big dream turned around and shook Matt Geiger, then turned and slipped to the bottom, jumped up against the unguarded basket, and slammed the ball away with his left hand.

"Smack!"

Under the precise blow, Zhou Quan, who rushed to the horse, rose into the air, just slapped the ball away from Da Meng's hand.

"Oh roar!"

Two thousand away fans, on the supersonic bench, suddenly boiled.

"5*5, Zhou Quan's second 5*5......"

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan......"

Zhang Lili and Xu Jicheng's roars immediately sounded.

"Fifth block, congratulations to Iron Fist! The second playoff 5*5, which is also the second 5*5 in league history. The Assassin shouted happily.

At this time, on the hanging screen, Zhou Quan's data in the game was also played, with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 20 assists, 6 steals, 5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls.

On the court, there was no dead ball, the ball was fanned to the rebound and bounced to the right wing, just grabbed by Rodman, who was returning to the defense, supersonic possession.

The players of both teams chased after me and ran to the front court of the supersonic speed.

Zhou Quan held the ball in the pile of people and changed direction continuously, dodging the interception of the glider and Mario Elie, and when he reached the top of the arc, only Rekas was left by his side, and at this time Da Meng and Barkley had taken the opportunity to return to the basket.

"Bang Bang ......"

He didn't rush to attack, dribbled to the right wing, returned to the top of the arc, wasted seven or eight seconds, and only launched the attack when there were only six seconds left in the attacking time.

Breaking through from the top of the arc to the right elbow area, even if he didn't feel good today, it was very poor, he didn't relent at the critical moment, hit the right elbow area, and after getting rid of the defender, he immediately stopped and jumped.

"Bang!"

The basketball stumbles into the basket and hits.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan is still very daring to make a move. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang Li said: "Mosaic serves, called a timeout. This is Zhou Quan's 23rd point, and he has made 8 of 17 shots. ”

"100:94, a six-point difference, there are only 27 seconds left, let's see how the mosaic plays, there is not much time." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

"If you win this game, you will have a 3-0 lead and get the match point, and you will definitely advance to the finals." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Maybe it can be swept away. The Magic lost two games in a row, and I am afraid they can't stop the Bulls, and if the supersonic can sweep and advance, maybe they can still occupy some physical advantages. Xu Jicheng said.

At this time, on the mosaic bench, the hearts of the three of them had sunk to the bottom, and they couldn't even bother to wipe it, only staring at Tomjanovic, hoping that the head coach could help them save the defeat.

Tomjanovic also sighed deeply, regretting the bad luck of the Big Three.

The performance of the Big Three tonight was remarkable, even the glider played well, and it happened that the attack of Iron Fist was far inferior to the previous two, and he also thought that this one should be able to be won.

However, Iron Fist played an all-around performance of 20+20 and 5*5, and the other supersonic players also played well, and Mosaic lagged behind.

This made him realize that the lineup of the Big Three is indeed very flawed, and the team's offense relies heavily on the Big Three whose strength is no longer at its peak, which is not good.

And the defense of Barkley and the glider is only average, not good, which is also an important reason why Mosaic cannot stop the supersonic attack.

The most important thing is that the No. 1 position is too bad, even if Iron Fist feels bad today, the score will easily go up to 20+.

And under the passing of the iron fist, everyone can score at the supersonic, and the mosaic can't be prevented at all.

He looked at the assist record, and only 19 assists on his side, but the SuperSonics had 34 assists, and Iron Fist alone had 20 assists, and there was no effective point guard, which was also a huge flaw in this Big Three lineup.

"Coach?"

Seeing that Tomjanovich was a little distracted, Big Dream said urgently.

"Oh......"

Tomjanovic immediately regained his attention, straightened his expression and said seriously: "6 points, we don't have time, now we can only shoot three points." Also, use foul tactics and look for fouls from people who don't make inaccurate free throws, such as Rodman. ”

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

Barkley ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball, then shot a three-pointer on a step-back jumper against Schramf and Rodman's bags.

"Whoosh!"

It's a pity that I voted for a three-no-stick and went directly out of the bottom line.

"Alas!"

Tomjanovich shook his head helplessly.

Supersonic attack, Rodman served on the baseline, Zhou Quan ran to the front court to receive the ball, and after receiving the ball, he went directly to the basket.

But just as he hit the left elbow area, the referee's whistle sounded, but it turned out to be a foul by Da Meng, who directly hugged Rodman who entered the court.

"Hey, man, it wasn't a wise decision for you to foul me." Rodman grinned.

"Humph!"

Big Dream snorted coldly.

As it turned out, Rodman didn't say much, and his free throws were really reliable at critical moments, hitting both free throws, and using his free throws to make Mosaic give up the game.

"Tick, tick."

When the time ran out, the referee blew the whistle.

"Oh roar!"

The supersonic side is boiling, and two thousand fans shout out the momentum of the home field.

On the mosaic side, the atmosphere was cold, the fans were disappointed, and the players were depressed.

"Big dream, I said before the game that tonight is a good opportunity for you, but unfortunately, you are not angry!" Zhou Quan said when he passed by Da Meng's side.

"Oh roar, the Big Three are waiting to be swept away." Rodman laughed weirdly.

"What did you say?" Big Dream glared at Rodman and roared.

Zhou Quan raised his hand and pushed away the big dream, and said with a smile: "What Dennis means, that is, what I mean." You are not convinced, and you come at me. ”

"You? You wait! ”

Da Meng glared at Zhou Quan fiercely for three seconds, and then turned around and walked into the player's tunnel.

"Congratulations to the SuperSonics, 102:94, three to zero lead." When the final whistle blew, Zhang said happily.

"The finals are decided, which will also be the third consecutive season for SuperSonics to reach the finals, and it will also be the fourth time that Zhou Quan has reached the finals." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang reasoned and said: "Michael Jordan has three wins and one loss in four finals, with a 75% win rate.

Zhou Quan was previously two wins and one loss in three finals, with a 66.7% win rate, which is lower than Jordan.

The two played each other twice in the finals, both with one win and one loss. Zhou Quan defeated Jordan once in the second round of the Eastern Conference, and Jordan defeated Zhou Quan once in the Eastern Finals. The playoff series is 2-2.

This time it is basically certain that it is the third time the two have met in the finals and the fifth time that the two have met in the playoffs.

Who wins and who loses between the two, I think it should be the same as the momentum of Zhou Quan replacing Jordan as the first person in the active team, hehe! ”

"Hopefully." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Zhou Quan reached the East Finals in his rookie season, won the championship in the second season, reached the finals in the west in the third season, won the championship in the fourth season, and definitely reached the finals this time. ”

Xu Jicheng smiled: "It would be nice if I could defend the title this time." ”

"If we can defend the title this time, we will attack the dynasty next season." Zhang said excitedly.

Speaking of this topic, the two became excited at once, but unfortunately when the live broadcast time came, they had to stop talking, pack up their things, and prepare to wait for an interview.

At the scene, Zhou Quan was giving a post-match interview to ESPN TV.

"Iron Fist, the big score is 3:0, the supersonic can be said to have won this series, congratulations on reaching the finals for the fourth time." The journalist asked.

"Thank you!" Zhou Quan smiled.

"So I have a question, Iron Fist, do you want to sweep the Big Three?" The reporter asked expectantly.

"Oh, of course, haha!" Zhou Quan nodded and smiled.

"Is it true?" The reporter had a sense of surprise.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "It's all three to zero, of course I'm thinking about this possibility, it's a possibility that we can't avoid."

Actually, I've already told my teammates that if we win tonight, we're going to try to sweep them. ”

"Oh, that's great!" The reporter said excitedly.

Zhou Quan said again: "In addition, I just notified Da Meng and asked him to be ready to be swept away." ”

"Really? What did he say? The reporter was surprised.

"You see, he went away in a rage."

"Haha...... Also, Iron Fist, congratulations on getting the first 20+20 stats in the playoffs and playing the playoffs 5*5 stats for the second time. ”

"Thank you!"

"Iron Fist, your two 5*5 are all playoffs, and they are the only two playoff 5*5 in the history of the NBA league, you are a point guard, those super centers can't play such data in the playoffs, it can be seen that the difficulty is high, how did you do it?" The reporter asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "As a super center, the most difficult thing to get with 5*5 should be steal data, and as a point guard, the most difficult thing with 5*5 is, of course, blocking, it depends on the opportunity."

Today, Big Dream and Barkley are very cooperative, I hat Big Dream twice, hat Barkley once, haha! I mean, how did I do it, of course, with the cooperation of my opponents! ”

"Haha......" everyone around laughed.
