At half past eight, the game officially began.

Jump ball, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan holds the ball, Jordan defends.

Schramf and Jose Hawkins ran directly to the left and right touchlines, pulling very wide, leaving the middle of the field to Zhou Quan.

Pippen and Ron Harper were still on the line, two metres into the air, about three metres from the top of the arc.

Rodman got into the basket and swung around, then dropped out to the low post on the right wing, and then went in again.

Gilliam moved to the left wing, one step away from the paint, Kevin Willis followed to the left midfield, and Luke Langley defended the basket.

"Hey, is Zhou Quan attacking with the ball at the top of the arc? Aren't you afraid of being caught by Jordan, Pippen, and Harper? Zhang Lili was a little surprised.

This is to open the rhythm of the singles and avoid Zhou Quan being caught on the outside. This is how it is played on the court, but it is usually on the wing, but the Bulls take line defense, and Zhou Quan is often trapped. Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"Suddenly? Cast? Transmit? ”

When he saw Zhou Quan leaning over and dribbling, these thoughts flashed through Jordan's mind, but it was just a thought, and in the next moment, he pounced, forced closely, and did not give Zhou Quan any chance through active defense.

His defensive strategy was the same as in the previous game, trying to delay Zhou Kwon and create opportunities for the wings to pack.

This time at the top of the arc, he thinks that as long as Pippen and Ron Harper are fast enough, they can even form a three-in-one position.

His pressing action was to fire the flare gun of the bag, and Pippen and Ron Harper, who were three meters away, immediately pounced on the top of the arc.

"Three clips and one!"

Seeing Jordan move, Pippen and Ron Harper also pounced on the top of the arc, and Zhang Li shouted urgently.

"How does Zhou Quan fight?" Xu Jicheng also shouted.

When Jordan was pressing, Zhou Quan took a step back with the fastest reaction speed, and by this time he had already seen the flank from both wings, and then he took another step back.

This second step back made Pippen and Harper feel uncomfortable, as they could no longer maintain their defensive position on the line and cut off the passing and receiving routes between Zhou Quan and the wings.

Their speed is very fast, when Zhou Quan retreats the second step, they have already pounced on the first step, only two meters away from completing the pinch, as long as one step, the hand can almost be enough for Zhou Quan, so at this time it is impossible for them to change direction, they can only speed up and continue to pinch the attack, try to be in place before Zhou Quan passes.

At the same time, when Zhou Quan retreated, Schramf and Hawkins, who were on the left and right wings, also took a step back in time, and between them and Zhou Quan, the field of vision was unobstructed, and there was no more obstacles.

Zhou Quan retreated in the second step, and when Jordan continued to press, his ball was also pulled up by his right hand, and then turned right, and the full-level panoramic vision in the corner of his right eye captured Schramf's next moment, and his right hand backhand flicked to the left wing behind him, and the basketball instantly flew to Schramf, passing the ball in a straight line.

Pippen, who pounced, reacted quickly and instinctively reached out to block it, but Zhou Quan added a turning movement, and once again extended the position of the pass to him by half a step.

"Don't look at the pass from behind!" Larry Bird let out a loud shout.

Magic Johnson saw this pass, fast and straight, Pippen had no chance to return to defense, and couldn't help but shake his head, very helpless.

"Smack!"

Schramf received the ball with both hands, the passing position was very good, very comfortable, he didn't have to make any adjustments at all, he faced the basket, he jumped, he shot.

Pippen could only look at Schramf five or six meters away from the top of the arc, without any chance of returning to defense, or even the idea of returning.

"The vacant seat is going to be thrown!"

Zhang Li shouted with anticipation.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

"Ahh

The moment the ball went in, Schramf threw his fist and roared.

He missed a lot of open balls in the last game, and I really hope that he can throw less in this game, and he hit the first ball, which makes him feel very comfortable and his confidence is back.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan passed very beautifully, and Schramf also voted beautifully, and did not waste this huge vacancy. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"As long as you can throw into the open position, you will have a head today, and Zhou Quan's passing ability will never disappoint." Zhang said excitedly.

Bulls attack.

After a succession of passes and runs and pick-and-roll screens, Ron Harper got a small open space and received a pass from Jordan.

When Jordan received the ball by himself just now, Zhou Quan chased him in time, and his last single Zhou Quan's shooting rate was not high enough, except for the basket offense, the shooting rate of the outside jumper was less than forty percent, and this time he chose to pass.

Ron Harper shot a three-pointer from two meters from the left wing at the top of the arc, Hawkins couldn't block it, and the basketball flew to the basket.

"Bang!"

Off-marginally, Rodman grabbed the rebound.

"Smack!"

The small space missed, and Ron Harper slapped his right hand in hatred.

Rodman wanted to pass it quickly, but Luke Longley got in front of him, and the supersonic offensive and defensive tempo was slowed down.

When Zhou Quan came to the front court with the ball, the Bulls had already completed the defense, and he came to the top of the arc again.

"It's just to find a bag clip at the top of the arc." Zhang said nervously.

"As long as teammates can keep hitting open balls, will the Bulls dare to wrap up so unscrupulously?" Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Zhou Quan slowly approached the top of the arc, the position was a little to the right, and Jordan suddenly grabbed it.

Jordan is mentally prepared for Zhou Quan to retreat, he will continue to grab, press, and not give Zhou Quan a chance to play easily.

But in the next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly turned to the right and burst out from the left side.

When Zhou Quan turned to pass, Pippen and Ron Harper also pounced, but their reaction speed was not as fast as his, a little slower.

"Not good!"

Jordan was startled and quickly turned around, but it was too late.

At this time, seeing Zhou Quan rushing in, Pippen and Ron Harper, who came from the bag, hurriedly turned around and defended their respective people.

Zhou Quan strode to the top of the arc and took two steps to the free throw line.

In the meantime, he had already seen Pippen and Harper's back, so he didn't pass the ball to Schramf and Hawkins.

By the time he reached the next step of the free throw line, Kevin Willis, who was guarding the left midfield, had already moved two steps in front of the basket and blocked him.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Quan's ball flew to Gilliam, who was one step in the left midfield.

Gilliam catches the ball, three-step big opening, jumper.

"Bang!"

I don't know if it's because the space is too big and there is no reference at all, or if the feel is really bad, this ball is off, and it's a little bit biased.

"Mine!"

Rodman shouted in his heart, and after accurately predicting it, he moved the card position first, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then handed it to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan felt that there was someone behind him, it must be Jordan, he didn't make a shot, but hit the ground in the gap and passed it to Gilliam.

Gilliam caught the ball a second time and paused.

"Shoot!"

On the sidelines, George Carr let out a loud shout.

Gilliam jumped out again, swiped it, and this time it hit.

"Whew!"

Gilliam's sweat is down, and if this vacant ball still misses, George Karl may just replace him.

"Almon, good shot." Zhou Quan encouraged.

Gilliam smiled gratefully and nodded.

"Rebounding! Take control of the backcourt rebound! ”

Phil Jackson shouted anxiously on the sidelines, what hooligan whistle is not in the mood to blow anymore, and directly put together the horn and shouted.

"The Bulls conceded their first backcourt rebound, which led to the SuperSonics scoring on the second offense, and neither Luke Longley nor Kevin Willis are the kind of interior players who have a lot of control over the rebound. In addition, their ability to assist and supplement defense is not good, and they move too slowly. Magic Johnson said.

Larry Bird quipped, "This Bulls just don't have a Rodman." ”

Magic Johnson's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He felt that Big Bird's words were really right, and the Bulls didn't have a chance to get Rodman, because Rodman's contract expired and he didn't complete an early extension with the SuperSonics, as long as the Bulls were willing to give the big contract, Rodman would not necessarily stay in the SuperSonics.

5:0, Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Zhou Quan was chasing Jordan and running, Kevin Willis was covering and blocking, he bypassed in time and was only half a step behind Jordan.

When Jordan ran to the right elbow area, Ron Harper passed the ball from the top of the arc, and immediately after receiving the ball, he jumped sideways, ready to adjust his stance in the air, and complete the technical action of this catch-and-shoot jumper at the fastest pace, so that the oncoming iron fist had no chance to disrupt his attack.

Even, his jump also brought a backward lean.

At the moment when Jordan caught the ball and jumped, Zhou Quan's level 96 nervous reaction speed was completely stimulated, and he reacted instantly, and flew up like a leopard and flew past Jordan.

"Cover!"

Zhang Li shouted.

"Smack!"

The moment he flew past Jordan's side, Zhou Quan's right hand slapped with the momentum, and under the precise blow, the basketball that Jordan had just raised above his head with both hands was instantly slapped away.

"Oh!"

There was an exclamation at the United Center.

"Yay!"

The smiling assassin and the others rose from their seats, raising their arms and cheering.

"Alas!"

Barkley and the others slapped their thighs and sighed gloomily.

"Damn it!"

Jordan, who was capped, was stunned.

After Zhou Quan landed, his head was raised, his vision locked on the ball in the air, still in front of him, he accelerated forward, and then received the ball three meters outside the three-point line, and Ron Harper, who pounced from the top of the arc, was a step slower.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan completed a block, he grabbed the ball, and he was going down! Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan entered the paint area, and it was a flying dunk that exploded the basket.

"7:0, Zhou Quan scored the first goal, and the SuperSonics led the Bulls away." Zhang said excitedly.

"2 points, 2 assists and 1 block, after two days and two nights of rest, Zhou Quan's state tonight should be better than the G3 battle." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

At this point, the Bulls called a timeout, and players from both sides returned to the bench.

Phil Jackson first talked about defense, and said very seriously: "Gentlemen, you should know that defense can win championships, and we can win the G3 game by defense."

But now we've failed to defend two times in a row, with one pass and a direct assist, and a pass after a break, still a direct assist.

Michael, I need you to be more involved on the defensive end and use your defense to create opportunities for your teammates to get in place, OK? ”

“OK。”

Many of the green tendons on Jordan's bald head were jumping, and his mouth was constantly chewing gum, and then just as Phil Jackson was about to continue talking, he interjected:

"Guys, as a reminder, I feel like Tekken is going to be in good shape tonight, Scotty, Ron, you're going to have to get a little quicker."

"And stop him from passing." Phil Jackson added.

The three nodded at the same time, and Phil Jackson continued: "On the offensive end, one missed shot, one blocked, I need you to cheer up because this is a game that we must not lose." ”

He stared at Jordan, not at the others, and said, "It's a game that you and I can't lose." Lose, and the owner will most likely purge this Bulls team. I may leave, and you may never have a chance to win Iron Fist again. ”

The green tendons on Jordan's head jumped quickly, his mouth chewed faster, and the sharpness in his eyes became sharper.

In the end, Phil Jackson said to everyone: "One more thing, rebounding, we lost a backcourt rebound, our rebounding ability is not as good as theirs, everyone has to fight for rebounds, don't let go of any of them." ”

Jordan immediately reminded: "Be careful of their fast break, when the offense and defense are switched, the outside line must return to defense early, and the rebounding at this time can only rely on the inside." ”

Phil Jackson sighed, this is the difficulty, supersonic rebounds can be handed to the inside, because they have a rebounding king, and the rebounds of other interior lines are not bad, and the Bulls can't, Jordan has to rush in to grab rebounds.

However, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the supersonic speed is very fast, and the speed of the Bulls is not as good as the supersonic, so there must be enough people to return to the defense in advance, which will affect the outside players to rush for rebounds.

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

"Brush!"

Jordan ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball and then glided a jumper, and Zhou Quan was a little slower and hit a three-pointer.

"It's a really difficult goal!" Zhang Li exclaimed.

7:3, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan once again held the ball close to the top of the arc, Jordan on the front, Pippen on the left wing three-point line, and Ron Harper on the right wing three-point line, staring at him like three wolves, and would pounce at any time.

Two meters from the top of the arc, Jordan began to adjust his feet, and he would pounce on him at any time to press closely.

But at this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly shook the ball with one hand, which ruined the rhythm of Jordan's preparation to pounce and press.

But at this moment, Gilliam, who had pulled to the left flank, suddenly started to cut in.

Defender Kevin Willis was distracted by Zhou Quan's breakthrough at the top of the arc, and he didn't spot Gilliam's inside cut at the first time, and when he reacted, Gilliam had already cut in successfully, and he lost his defensive position.

The moment Gilliam started the inner cut, Zhou Quan's full-level panoramic vision saw his movements, so he was ready to pass.

At this time, he had just shaken Jordan's center of gravity through the breakthrough action of one-handed dummy drumming, and the next moment, Gilliam cut successfully, and he immediately jumped up with the ball.

"Jump pass!"

Zhang Li snorted.

Jordan reacted a little slower, no, it was his feet a little slower, he was shaken, and he had to reach out to stop it, but he didn't have time to jump to intercept.

"Whoosh!"

The ball flew over Jordan and into the low post.

As soon as Gilliam emerged from under Kevin Willis, his eyes looked at the top of the arc, and he immediately saw Zhou Quan's jump pass, stretched out his hands, the ball fell into his hands, and then jumped inside to make a layup.

Luke Longlee under the basket saw Zhou Quan's jump pass, but the pass was too fast, he quickly adjusted the jump block at his feet, Gilliam had completed the layup, he hit Gilliam's wrist, and then the ball went in.

"Tick!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Beautiful! Two plus one. ”

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan has already assisted three times. Today he was very attentive to passing, which would encourage his teammates to run more aggressively and boost the morale of the whole team. ”

"What a beautiful pass! Gilliam's in-cut was also very timely. The two worked very well together in the high and low positions. Zhang said excitedly.

On the TNT commentary bench, Larry Bird praised: "Iron Fist is very smart, he knows that the Bulls are going to trap him on the outside, and he knows that Jordan is going to create opportunities for Pippen and them to pack with his pressing moves."

So he used his active breakthrough to disrupt Jordan's defensive rhythm first, and Gilliam's cut broke through the Bulls' defense. ”

Magic Johnson said: "Normally he will break through after being close to the top of the arc, this time it was early, Michael really didn't expect that the defense reacted passively and didn't do the active defense. ”

"Bang!"

Gilliamga misses a free throw, and Luke Longley grabs the rebound.

9:3, the SuperSonics led by 6 points, and the Bulls attacked.
