Mosaic attacked, called a timeout after serving.

"The SuperSonics want to use a thick bench lineup to drag the two old guys of Big Dream and Barkley to death." On the NBC commentary bench, James Worthy laughed.

John Moore nodded: "The SuperSonics made a large number of substitutions in the 5th minute, leaving only Iron Fist as a starter, maintaining a fast pace of offense and defense, which is the benefit of squad depth." ”

James Worthy said: "Mosaic still has to try to slow down the supersonic offensive and defensive rhythm to reduce the physical exertion.

However, many times, the supersonic deliberately increased the tempo and applied backcourt pressing on the defensive end, and Mosaic had no choice, and the lineup was too thin, so it could only fall into passivity. ”

Barkley temporarily sat on the bench and replaced him with a backup power forward, close to 35-year-old Kevin Willis.

John Moore said: "Willis was sold by the Bulls, but he was actually in good health, more fit than Barkley, playing in 75 games this season, averaging 26.2 minutes per game, and starting 32 games with Barkley injured.

He averaged 11 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, shooting 48.5% from the field, and Barkley only had this shooting percentage, and his performance on the bench was very good. ”

"Willis has only been out for 16 games in nine seasons with the Hawks, an average of less than two games a season, and he has the talent of an iron man." James Worthy nodded.

John Moore laughed: "But he was the main center in the Bulls, and this efficiency was a little bit lower, and he played a little less time, so the Bulls lost to the SuperSonics in the Finals last year."

He is now the most suitable for the bench, he can play in the four or five positions, and he has 20 minutes of playing time, which is the best choice for himself and for the team. ”

James Worthy shook his head and said: "The Bulls lost the Finals, Willis's lack of efficiency is only one reason, the main reason is that the iron fist is there, the offensive and defensive capabilities and direct assists are too strong, and the three top shooting and defense are Jordan can't prevent it." ”

The game on the field continues.

Mosaic Barkley was down, and the other four main players were all on the field.

The SuperSonics replaced four substitutes, and only Zhou Quan was still on the field for the main team.

In terms of supersonic tactics, it is still fast-paced offense and defense.

In the 9th minute, after Big Dream scored a nearly two-point shot, Matt Geiger immediately picked up the ball and retreated to the bottom line, Willis blocked it, Big Dream took the opportunity to return to defense, and it was to defend with all his might, he knew that it would be too late if he was slow.

After Zhou Quan received the ball on the left wing, he immediately accelerated with all his might.

At this time, Tim Hardaway was in front of him, Big Dream was only two steps behind him in the middle, and Big Dream was also small forward Sammark, and Mark ran a flat head with him.

"The mosaic's return defense is very fast, but supersonic speed does not care about the mosaic's return defense speed, it is fast." Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan held the ball into the middle line, changed direction to the middle at a small angle, and was already level with the worm.

The worm had no choice but to turn around, intending to use a steal to slow down Zhou Quan and buy time for his teammates to return to defense.

But Zhou Quan's reaction was too fast, and when the worm turned around and didn't make a steal, he changed direction again at a small angle and rushed over with the worm.

"Damn it!"

The insect's shoulder was hung up, and an unstoppable impact instantly hit the body, and then the 80-kilogram body flew directly backwards, slammed on the floor with its back on the ground, and slid backwards.

"Oooooooooo......oo

This kind of scene of hitting a flying man like American football instantly activated the adrenaline of the supersonic fans in the stadium, and a huge and passionate shout suddenly swept up.

Although he knocked the worm away, Zhou Quan's momentum was only a slight pause, and then he accelerated again with his feet, killing the top of the left arc at high speed.

Sammark, who ran to the free throw line, had to stop and run to his left elbow area, trying to buy time for the big dream behind him.

He did take the first half of the shot to take up a defensive position in the left elbow area, but at this point Zhou Quan changed direction again to the left at a small angle.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan's right shoulder hit Sammak's right shoulder, and under the powerful impact, Sammak, who was 201 cm and 100 kg, was hung directly backwards and fell to the ground.

And Zhou Quan's body was also stunned, he simply took the opportunity to brake under his feet, and stopped at the left elbow area with his strength, because Da Meng was about to rush to the basket, and then forcibly killed it at this time, it was to find a hat.

"Bastard!"

After crossing the free throw line, Da Meng, who was about to rush to the basket, hurriedly stopped and ran to Zhou Quan.

At this time, Zhou Quan actually had a chance to make a move, and Da Meng was still two meters away from him, but he didn't make a move, because at this time, the glider had already run in from the right elbow area.

He threw the basketball directly into the air in front of the right side of the basket, and the next moment, he saw Drexler flying.

"Empty pick-up!" Xu Jicheng shouted.

"Bang!"

As soon as the words fell, the glider won a one-handed violent dunk, completing an empty catch.

"Beautiful!"

Zhang said excitedly.

Xu Jicheng nodded and smiled: "Director Zhang, this kind of fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion, Da Meng's center is too much of a loss." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "Yes, this tactic is quite a cruel tactic for Mosaic and the current big dream.

Zhou Quan has a tonnage of 97 kilograms, top guard speed, and once he rushes up in the fast break, he has the most terrifying impact, and the average center can knock back or even knock over.

None of the three outside lines of Mosaic are as fast as him, and the speed of the worm is not as fast as him, even if one of the three of them has a chance to defend, it is impossible to block him, just knocked over two, at most give him a speed reduction, and then the inside line must return to defense as soon as possible.

Especially Da Meng, he can't help but return to defense as soon as possible, because Zhou Quan's attack power is too strong, and one or two outside lines are useless, he has to go back.

But this requirement to return to defense in time is quite cruel for Big Dream and Barkley, who is off the court, and Kevin Willis on the bench, who must run back and forth like a defender, constantly sprinting, and constantly wasting precious physical energy. ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "This tactic is the greatest use of the thickness of the lineup. ”

"Yes, I have someone to change, you have no one to change, you can only use the main force to fight, hold on in the first half, in the second half, in the last quarter, the physical strength collapses, it's all over!" Zhang Li said with a smile.

"So a good team doesn't have to be stacked with superstars, and it's also very strong to build a reasonable lineup, like the supersonics." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The supersonic lineup is also an aging lineup, and because of this, the management has created a very good substitute lineup, so that the main lineup can play less time." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Director Zhang, Rodman and Schramf renewed their contracts for five years and three years respectively, and the contracts are not small, five million a year, what do you say the management thinks?" ”

Zhang reasonably analyzed: "Let's look at the state, they are in good shape, and they are also the main contributors to the two consecutive championships, they want to stay and continue to play for the team, you can't look at their age, just push them out, right?" Who wants to join the hypersonic after that?

And you don't renew the contract, they are all free agents, let them go, the team has no trading chips, where can the team go to find someone again?

Besides, even if there are trade chips and hit three consecutive championships, the SuperSonics are the public enemies of the league, which team is willing to trade their main players to the SuperSonics? Players like Rodman and Schramf don't have a hard time finding a replacement for them. ”

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Mosaic asked for a long timeout, and after Big Dream sat down, he gasped like a cow.

"Ho ho, damn supersonic, ho ho, they want, ho ho, they want to drag me to death. You damn it! ”

His sentence was broken into several sections, wheezing heavily, and the next scolding sentence was actually scolding the management and the boss Alexander.

Tomjanovich sighed and looked at the bench, there is no one available, just change someone to go up, and it must not be opened by supersound?

"Charles, it's your turn." He said to Barkley.

Barkley nodded, depressed, and didn't speak.

There was only gasping on the mosaic bench, and morale was very low.

After the timeout, Mosaic was half a main and half substitute, led by Ross Barkley.

In terms of the supersonics, four substitutes have been replaced in the previous 7th minute timeout, and now Zhou Quan has been replaced and brought on McMillan.

McMillan has recovered from injury, and although the offense is not good, the defense is good, and the fitness can play for 20 minutes.

George Carr let him go up, and only let him defend, the offense is dominated by gliders, and he defends the opponent's main scoring point on the outside.

The glider's task in the bench lineup is to shoot and score, and it doesn't matter if the efficiency is poor, because the opponent is also a substitute lineup.

After playing the first quarter, at 19:31, the SuperSonics led by 12 points at home.

On the NBC commentary seat, John Moore shook his head and smiled: "The tactics of the supersonic speed are too mosaic, too unfriendly to Big Dream and Barkley, and the physical fitness of the two of them was used for switchback running, and they played a track and field game." ”

"Poof!"

James Worthy laughed.

John Moore continued: "There is really no one available on the bench of Mosaic, half of them are marginal people with more than 200,000 dollars, I don't know what the management and the boss think, such a lineup, can it really rely on the Big Three to beat the SuperSonics? ”

James Worthy shook his head and said: "It's not that I underestimate the Big Three, this mosaic is not to mention the supersonic speed of the Iron Fist King, or it is difficult to beat the black and white Jazz."

In the regular season, Mosaic and Jazz are two wins and two losses, but it is the regular season, the series is completely different, they should not be able to beat the Jazz, the Jazz's bench lineup is stronger than Mosaic, and physical fitness alone is enough to drag down Mosaic. ”

In this game, Mosaic only lasted for three quarters, and in the third quarter, he still relied on halftime to recover some blood, but by the end of the third quarter, he had fallen behind by 25 points.

In the last quarter, Mosaic's physical fitness completely collapsed, of course, the main collapse was Big Dream and Barkley, and as soon as the two of them collapsed, the whole team collapsed.

After the start of the last quarter, Mosaic has completely failed to keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of supersound, and in the first five minutes, Zhou Quan led the team to play a sixteen-to-six attack wave, which widened the difference to 35 points in one fell swoop, completely defeating Mosaic, Mosaic surrendered from this flag, and Supersonic also withdrew the main force.

75:105, the final supersonic victory by 30 points.

Zhang Reasonable said excitedly: "Zhou Quan played 35 minutes, 15 of 20 shots, a shooting rate of 75%, 2 of 4 three-point shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and 38 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists, 6 steals, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, which is very efficient." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "There are too many fast breaks, he has 9 assists that are sent in the fast break, and most of the shots are also shots in the fast break, although the big dream has a strong defense, but in the fast-paced attack and defense, he has no chance to play his defense at all." ”

"So whether it's playing ball or fighting, tactics are very important."

Zhang Li said with a smile: "The supersonic plays a fast attack on the offensive end, so that the defensive formation of Mosaic has no chance to put it out."

On the defensive end, in the positional battle, he used ferocious pinch-attacking defensive tactics to grind the mosaic's offense, taking advantage of both offensive and defensive ends. ”

"Last season's Western Conference swept Mosaic, this season's Mosaic's bench lineup is even worse than last season, I think there is hope for them to sweep them again!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Judging by this game, there is really hope. And the supersonic may really be rushing to sweep, wanting to end the Western Conference finals as soon as possible and prepare for the finals. Zhang Lili said happily.

"A dynasty of three consecutive crowns! However, the regular season was defeated by the Bulls home and away, and the finals should not be easy to play. Xu Jicheng was very worried.

"yes, it's not easy to fight." Zhang Reason's face was also full of worry.

At this time, far away in Chicago, Jordan was on the phone with Phil Jackson, discussing this G1 battle in the Western Conference Finals.

"Phil, they played us in the regular season, the tactics in the positional battle were to pull Deacon Bell out, and there were a lot of fast-break tactics, Deacon Bey couldn't keep up with the fast pace of attack and defense, so we only won them by two points at home, and we had to find a way to prevent problems." Jordan said.

Phil Jackson said: "In that game, we handled the positional battle well, and Deacon Bay was not pulled out.

Their fast attack, at that time, we adopted a strategy to limit their fast send and fast pass, and solve their fast attack tactics from the root, which really worked, and once they could not send and pass quickly, they immediately turned to positional warfare.

In the game just now, Mosaic also adopted a fast pass to limit them, but the supersonic still forced a fast attack, and even carried out some limited backcourt pressing on the defensive end to improve the rhythm of attack and defense.

Mosaic's defense relies on big dreams, and everyone else is average, although they limit the supersonic fast serve and fast pass, but it does not play a big role, which is determined by their lineup configuration.

But Michael, we're better defensively than Mosaic, we're better than Mosaic in terms of restricting fast serve and fast passes, so you don't have to worry too much about their fast-paced offense and defense. ”

Hearing Phil Jackson say this, Jordan also felt that this was the case, and the first regular season game with the SuperSonics was like this, and he was relieved.

Phil Jackson added: "From the analysis of the performance in the playoffs, Iron Fist's state is obviously better than the regular season, and the statement of going down to the top is pure media nonsense, Michael, you have to pay attention to this, don't let the media influence your judgment." ”

The corners of Michael Jordan's mouth twitched and said, "How can I listen to the nonsense of the media?" ”

Phil Jackson said: "In this game, Tim Hardaway was defended by Tekken with only 3 of 13 shots, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and his height, tonnage, confrontation, and even speed were at a comprehensive disadvantage in front of Tekken.

Michael, we need to be ready for the mosaic to be swept away. ”

"Sweep?"

Michael's eyes hardened.

Phil Jackson continued: "Tomorrow is the Eastern Conference Finals, and since the SuperSonics may sweep the Mosaic, then we also have to try to end the Eastern Conference as soon as possible so as not to suffer in terms of physical fitness." ”

"That's what I thought too." Jordan said firmly.
