Next, Jordan and Zhou Quan entered heads-up mode.

Zhou Quan wanted to continue to assist his teammates to score, and several teammates shot very good open balls today, but Jordan didn't give him a chance, Pippen and others kept an eye on Schramf with all their might, and in the absence of a bag, they could only run out of a small vacancy by blocking and dismantling and running back, and they couldn't get a big vacancy.

He played too much in the first half of the quarter, and because of the need for a reasonable distribution of physical energy, he did not make too many breakthroughs with the ball and could not create open space for his teammates.

Because of this, the offensive efficiency of both sides began to decline under one-on-one.

After the first quarter, the SuperSonics scored 38 points in a single quarter with their super-efficiency in the first half of the quarter, leading the Bulls by as many as 16 points and the Bulls by 22 points.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The morale of the Bulls has declined repeatedly, and it has never come back. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Quan made 2 of 4 shots, 6 of 8 shots in the quarter, a shooting rate of 75%, 2 of 3 three-point shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and got 17 points, 8 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 foul. Later, he made another steal of Jordan.

Jordan shot 3 of 7 in the back, a total of 6 of 12 shots, in fact, he was also very efficient, shooting 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, 16 points and 1 rebound, but there were 4 turnovers and 2 fouls in a single quarter. ”

Zhang Li said: "The supersonic team has a total of 10 assists, and the strength of the whole team has been exerted, and everyone can score."

Behind the Bulls, Jordan attacked with the ball alone, the whole team only scored 22 points, he alone accounted for 16 points, and the others added up 6 points, and only scored two points in the second half of the quarter, just watching Jordan play alone.

The Bulls only had three assists in total, two fewer rebounds, and shot a fraction of the hypersonic percentage from the field, which was the reason why they fell behind by a large margin. ”

"Jordan has abandoned Phil Jackson's triangle offense, but singles, he can't break through Zhou Quan's defense! Later, Zhou Quan stole him once, forcing him to make two more mistakes in the first half of the quarter. Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Basically, this game is decided, after the supersonic speed wins, it will be three to one, and the match point is in hand." ”

However, Jordan did not give up, and he came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter and attacked like crazy.

Zhou Quan also began to devote himself to defense, and on the offensive end, he began to break through with the ball more and create open opportunities for his teammates.

After the second quarter, Jordan shot 4 of 10 in a single quarter, and the efficiency was not high, especially in order to chase points, he shot three points frantically, only 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 11 points from free throws, and 27 points in the half.

Zhou Quan's offensive efficiency was not high in the second quarter under Jordan's defense, shooting 1 of 3 in a single quarter, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring only 5 points, and 22 points in the half.

However, he used his ball-handling breakthrough to create a number of chances for his teammates, diching out five assists and another two steals and a block on the defensive end.

After half a quarter, 22 points, 13 assists, 2 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

At halftime, 64:42, the Bulls had fallen behind by 22 points at home, and the difference was getting bigger and bigger.

But this point difference is not so desperate that people can't chase it, so the Bulls didn't give up, especially Jordan didn't give up.

In the third quarter, Jordan played the first half of the game, starting from the first second, and had no intention of saving energy at all.

Zhou Quan did not let his guard down and followed suit.

But in this quarter, Jordan's fitness was also not enough, and he had to hand over the ball and start playing without the ball.

This shift has brought some turnaround for the Bulls, because as the physical consumption of the supersonic players began to decline.

After the third quarter, the two teams played 20-27, and the first three quarters were 84-69, and the Bulls only trailed by 15 points, pulling back seven points.

Seeing the hope of getting it back, the Bulls' morale was restored, and Jordan and Phil Jackson communicated again.

"Michael, continue with the third quarter, shall you?" Phil Jackson said tentatively.

Jordan gasped, sweating like rain, panting and said, "In the first half of the quarter, play as you say." ”

Phil Jackson nodded, he knew that it wasn't Jordan who backed down, but Jordan's physical strength was not enough.

Time was limited, so he immediately began to lay out his tactics.

On the defensive end, he didn't dare to arrange the bag and clamp tactics anymore, and the super performance of Iron Fist in the first half of the first quarter had made his bag and clamp tactics a joke.

"Man to man, the offensive end is played according to our original tactics." He said.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Xu Jicheng said: "In the third quarter, Zhou Quan deliberately retained his physical strength, made few shots, broke through less, and mainly defended. ”

Zhang Reasonable nodded and said: "Definitely, the advantage in the first three quarters is so big, seize the opportunity to adjust your physical fitness, play steadily in the last quarter, with Zhou Quan's usual stable performance, the Bulls can't turn the tables." ”

"Yes, Zhou Quan's performance in the last quarter is the most stable and trustworthy." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Li looked at the statistics table and said: "Now Jordan has 32 points and Zhou Quan has 27 points, but Zhou Quan still has 17 assists and 4 assists in the third quarter, and he should have a chance to reach 20 assists today." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "In fact, the last quarter of the Bulls should be like the first half of the first quarter to wrap Zhou Quan, because the supersonic other people's state has declined, it depends on whether Phil Jackson has the courage, Jordan let him not play like that." ”

"Tick!"

At this point, the end of the quarter began, and the whistle sounded.

On the bull side, Jordan was still panting, and he stood up and looked at Zhou Quan for the first time.

Zhou Quan also turned around to look at Jordan, smiled, threw the towel on the seat, and then pointed to the court.

"Humph!"

Jordan snorted coldly and threw down the towel unwillingly.

He originally hoped that Zhou Quan would not play at the beginning and give him a little time to chase points, but he didn't expect this guy to give him a chance at all.

How could Zhou Quan give Jordan a chance, he got the match point when he won this game, and he tried all his physical strength, he also wanted to win this victory, he didn't want to give Jordan a chance at all, and he was directly beaten to death with a stick.

Supersonic offense.

"Or is it a man-to-man? Looks like I was scared by my passes and assists today. ”

Zhou Quan advanced to the front court with the ball, and saw that the Bulls were still marking people, and no one had the behavior of wrapping him, so he immediately started to attack.

Advancing from the middle to the top of the arc two steps, he immediately made a one-handed duffle and began to break through from the right side.

Jordan's physical consumption is greater than Zhou Quan's, he has to devote himself to both offensive and defensive ends, and for a while he still plays alone, and others watch, so now he can't keep up with Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan deliberately controlled the individual offense in the second and third quarters, and also controlled the number of breakaways in the third quarter, so his physical fitness is better than Jordan's, and his feet are still fast.

Originally, his movement ability was better than Jordan's, and his physical fitness was better, but when he suddenly passed by and hit the right two meters at the top of the arc, with the blessing of his full-level panoramic vision and prediction ability, he saw an arc-shaped breakthrough channel that was about to appear, and then killed it headlong.

There were defenders and teammates on the road, but the next moment, they all left while they were on the move, and then he just burst through.

Under the basket, backup centers Bill Winnington and Matt Geiger competed.

From the right end of the free throw line into the restricted area, Zhou Quan took two steps to the back of Matt Geiger, and on the right side of the basket, it was a layup, separated by a Rodman, Bill Winnington could only defend with his eyes, and Jordan chased the hat from behind and did not catch up.

"Brush!"

The basketball bounces off and falls into the hoop.

"Okay, in such a state, even if Jordan performs in the last quarter, it is not enough to recover the 15-point difference, and the SuperSonics won today." Zhang Li said in a very positive tone.

Twenty minutes later, as the full-time whistle blew, it proved that Zhang's reasonable view was correct, and the Bulls did not pull it back.

Not only did they not get it back, but the final point difference widened to more than 20 points, 110:89, and the SuperSonics won by 21 points.

Jordan scored just six points in the final quarter, 38 points in the fourth quarter, shot just 36 percent from the field, and was substituted after playing 10 minutes in the final quarter.

Zhou Quan had 6 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the last quarter, 33 points, 5 rebounds, 21 assists, 7 steals, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, and hit 30+20 super data, with a shooting rate of 58.5%.

At the end of the game, Jordan got up from the bench and walked away, and a bunch of reporters didn't stop him.

On the TNT commentary bench, Larry Bird grinned, "Congratulations to Iron Fist, equaling Elvin Johnson's record of 21 assists in a single game in the G3 game of the '84 Finals."

Against Larry Bird, the great Magic recorded a super triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 21 assists, and broke the record for assists in a single game.

Triple-double and 30+20, you all played great in the finals. ”

Magic Johnson laughed a few times and said, "Thankfully, Iron Fist only had 21 assists tonight, and I was able to keep that record." ”

Larry Bird laughed: "Iron Fist currently holds only one record in the Finals, 10 steals in a single game, and the one set in the Finals last year seems to be a G2 fight, and he was a triple-double in steals in that game. ”

At the end of the game, on the CCTV commentary seat, Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Congratulations to Zhou Quan, congratulations to the supersonic, the match point is in hand, and the championship is just around the corner!" ”

Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "Three to one, the SuperSonics got the Finals match point, and no team in the history of the NBA has completed a comeback when they fell behind 1-3 in the Finals."

In other words, according to historical inference, the probability of the Bulls turning the tables is zero, and the probability of supersonic winning the championship is 100%.

But we also want to remind that we can't be careless, this is Michael Jordan's Bulls after all. Of course, with Zhou Quan's usual prudence, it is impossible for him to be careless in Jingzhou. ”

Xu Jicheng looked at the data statistics table in his hand and said with a smile: "Coach Zhang, Zhou Quan's shooting rate tonight is a lot higher than Jordan's!" ”

Zhang Li also stretched out his head to take a look, nodded and said: "Jordan is crazy to shoot, even in the face of the bag, it is the same forced shot, and it is normal for the hit rate to not be able to hit."

And Zhou Quan is different, he has the best passing ability, most of his shots are the most reasonable shots, and there are few times when he shoots with a few defenders, so his shooting rate is much higher.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability of Jordan to force a shot in the bag, for him, it's really not necessary, he has a better way to attack. ”

"So Zhou Quan and Jordan are still different types, a point guard, a point guard, and a point guard." Xu Jicheng nodded and smiled.

Zhang Li said: "Now in the 90s, starting from Jordan's first championship in 91, Zhou Quan was born, and then the two took turns to win the championship.

Jordan won three crowns, and if nothing happens this time, Zhou Quan is also three crowns, both of them are triple crowns, and they won the championship in the first six years. ”

"Great!" Xu Jicheng praised.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "In the next few years, I estimate that the situation will be biased in favor of Zhou Quan, because Jordan is starting to get old, almost 34 years old, and Zhou Quan is only 24 years old, even if his peak is not as long as Jordan's, only 28 years old, there are still 4 years to go."

In other words, in the next four years of the nineties, Zhou Quan will encounter a good opportunity to create a good opportunity for his own era. ”

"Successfully defending the title this time, and playing a dynasty next year? Jordan hasn't done it either! Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang said with a smile: "Zhou Quan's team is also good, with Rodman as the rebounding king and players like Schramf who are very practical on both offensive and defensive ends."

Boss Ballmer is still very generous, the new arena will be put into use next year, the old stadium will only be used for a year, I hope that after the finals, he can keep Rodman, Rodman wants a long-term contract this time, Zhou Quan said before.

The management is also okay, the general manager Whithit's ability is still good, although he didn't get that kind of All-Star level star in the reinforcement, whether it is Matt Gigger or Gilliam, or Hawkins, who was traded in last year, they are all practical players.

Especially Matt Geiger and Gilliam, such a practical inside line is rare, cheap and easy to use, and healthy, no injuries.

You look at the Bulls, Phil Jackson traded in Kevin Willis, All-Star center, is it easy to use? It's not easy to use, and after the injury, he fell off a cliff, and if he lost the bet, he lost the championship. ”

Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "It seems that Phil Jackson's ability to be the general manager is still not enough, and the vision of the players is not good, not as good as Jerry Claus." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "This time the Bulls don't know if they will disintegrate, I think the relationship between Jordan and Phil Jackson is not as good as before, and they rarely communicate." ”

"It's all because of the loss." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"Losing is the original sin, and all contradictions will be exposed." Zhang Reasonable nodded.

Xu Jicheng thought for a while and said: "With this finals, Jordan has a total of five finals, three wins and two losses, and the winning rate is 60%. Zhou Quan is four times, three wins and one loss, and the winning rate is 75%, surpassing Jordan. ”

Zhang Li continued: "There were three finals where the two met directly, Zhou Quan won twice, Jordan won the first time, and Zhou Quan had the advantage. ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Look at next year, if the dynasty succeeds next year, Zhou Quan's historical status in the NBA should surpass Jordan, right?" ”

Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "It is indeed possible, but this is the United States, there is no absolute advantage, and it can't convince the public!" ”

"Haha......"

The two laughed.
