"Flyer, you were only stolen by me once today, it's cool, right?"

Zhou Quan retreated to the three-point line in small steps, and his mouth was still spraying trash talk to interfere with Jordan's psychology.

He's pulling back, but he's catching Jordan's rhythm.

"Closed ......"

As soon as Jordan spoke, his color suddenly changed.

"Squeak!"

At the moment when Jordan spoke, Zhou Quan suddenly exerted force under his feet, reached out with his left arm, and stabbed the basketball that Jordan's right hand was carrying to the floor.

In the next moment, when Jordan turned around, Zhou Quan kicked on his back foot, and the whole person pounced, directly squeezed Jordan away, took control of the ball first, and completed the steal.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan made his 6th steal and his second steal in the quarter. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

Zhou Quan took the opportunity to go down, Jordan desperately chased behind, and when he chased to the top of the left arc, he was still two steps behind.

Harper, who was defending at the top of the arc, couldn't run anymore and fell behind.

Zhou Quan made a three-step layup, then hit the board into the basket, and completed a defensive counterattack again, widening the gap to 9 points.

"Half of Tekken's score today came from the fast break." Elgin Baylor said.

"If you continue to fight like this, the bull will be in trouble." Robertson Road.

Elgin Baylor analyzed: "In terms of lineup, the Bulls are a little stronger, but the state of the Iron Fist King and his play can largely determine the outcome of this game. ”

Robertson smiled and said, "To put it simply, in the case of a tie in the first three quarters, and the final quarter at a critical moment, the comparison is between Jordan and Iron Fist, who is stronger, who can win." ”

"Now it seems that the Iron Fist King succeeded the Flyers as the first active player, and he does have this quality, sending two steals at critical moments, making two counterattacks, he has this dominance, and he is also dominating this game, dominating the Bulls, who are stronger than the supersonic lineup." Elgin Baylor said.

At this time, after Jordan scored a goal, the switch between offense and defense limited the fast launch of the supersonic, forcing the supersonic to switch to positional warfare.

Zhou Quan came to the top of the left arc with the ball, dribbled with his right hand, pointed to Jordan's right side and his left side with his left hand, and said: "Flyer, let me tell you, I want to break through from here." ”

"Preview? You bastard! Jordan's face turned pale with anger.

The next moment, dribbling under the crotch and switching to the left hand, Zhou Quan really started to break through from there.

Jordan quickly turned around and followed the defense, sticking to Zhou Quan's right side.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Zhou Quan stopped urgently, and Jordan also stopped urgently.

The next moment, Zhou Quan burst again, and Jordan started again, but he was already half a step behind, and he held the ball and killed it from the left elbow area.

When he got to the box, he suddenly made a downward change because Mutombo took a step out of the basket, which was just right for him to avoid Mutombo and at the same time allow Jordan on the right back to be blocked by Mutombo.

Seeing Zhou Quan's change of direction, Mutombo hurriedly returned to the basket and took a step back to the basket.

But as soon as he arrived at the basket, his face changed, because Zhou Quan had already taken off from a meter away, holding the ball in his left hand, was this to dunk him?

"Don't think!"

He jumped up and raised his hands in the air.

Zhou Quan jumped into the air, faced Mutombo's two-handed block, and the left hand holding the ball suddenly deflected outward, flashed the opponent's right hand, and then accelerated towards the basket.

"It's over!"

Mutomm's right hand instinctively moved outward, but it was too late, and he knew that he was going to lose face, so he could only pray that the iron fist would knock the ball away.

And Jordan on Zhou Quan's right back side also jumped, but Zhou Quan dunked with his left hand, and no matter how long his arm was, he couldn't touch the ball.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Zhou Quan pressed Mutombo and smashed the ball into the basket fiercely.

"Flute!"

The referee's whistle blows.

"Oh roar!"

Two thousand away fans cheered excitedly.

"Great! Zhou Quan blocked Mutombo, haha......" Zhang Cheng laughed excitedly.

On the field, the referee signaled that Mutombo was fouled, and Zhou Quan added a free throw.

Under the basket, Zhou Quan smiled and said to Mutombo: "Hey, Deacon Bey, I helped you fulfill your dream of being blocked by me, but you don't have to thank me, this is what I should do, who made you my friend?" ”

"Haha......"

Rodman and the others, who ran over to celebrate, burst into laughter.

Glaring at Rodman, who was leading the smile, Mutombo, whose old face was wrinkled, said angrily: "Hell, I don't have that dream." ”

Zhou Quan smiled, and when he walked to the free throw line, he shouted at Jordan, who had retreated to the middle line: "Flyer, do you want me to predict my breakthrough direction next time?" ”

"Shut up!"

Jordan said angrily.

"Haha......"

Rodman and the others burst out laughing again.

The game continued, and Zhou Quan and Jordan had the final battle at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but Zhou Quan pressed Jordan with more strength.

In the final quarter, he no longer saved his energy, no longer looked forward to the vacancy of his teammates, and attacked with all his might, constantly holding the ball and playing Jordan alone.

Although Jordan fought back with all his might, when he shot a three-pointer in the 9th minute, he was blocked by Zhou Quan, who took the opportunity to successfully counterattack again, widening the difference to double digits, so that the Bulls lost their last chance and lost the G1 game at home.

At 103:94, in the end SuperSonics won by 9 points.

"Congratulations to Zhou Quan and SuperSonics for winning their first away game." Zhang said happily.

Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Quan played 44 minutes, scored 16 points in the final quarter, 48 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a shooting rate of 52.4%.

He alone accounted for 46.6% of the team's points and 35% of his shots, which was obviously more efficient than his teammates. ”

"Jordan scored 8 points on 3-of-8 shooting in the final quarter in 45 minutes, scoring 34 points and shooting 38.5%, which is a big cut lower than Zhou Wei, which is also the key reason why SuperSonics can win the game." Zhang said excitedly.

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "At the critical moment, it is still the core contest between the two sides, and Zhou Quan wins. Whether it is scoring, offensive efficiency, or assists, or defense, Zhou Quan is stronger.

He used his personal strength to smooth out the shortcomings of the lineup, erase the disadvantages of the away team, and finally won the game, which was not easy. ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "Zhou Quan is a burst outside shot in the last quarter, Jordan can't prevent it, and Mutombo can't prevent his emergency stop jump shot, Zhou Quan's hand feels good today."

Of course, he also prevented his two layups, which there is no way, Mutombo's ability to protect the basket is too strong, and no one can guarantee that he will succeed the next time. ”

"Coach Zhang, the Bulls' defense is so strong, why do you want Jordan and Zhou Quan to go head-to-head in the final quarter?" Xu Jicheng asked.

Zhang Li smiled: "It's very simple, because in the case of the supersonic outside line pulling, Pippen and Harper don't have too good a chance to wrap Zhou Quan, and they can't form an effective bag clamp on the outside line."

And Zhou Quan's passing and assist ability can be fatal, so today they used the strategy of locking up others and letting Zhou Quan play alone. ”

"Yes." Xu Jicheng nodded.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "In the first quarter, Zhou Quan played alone, and the supersonic speed was ahead. In the second and third quarters, for the sake of physical distribution, the shots were reduced, so the Bulls equalized the score. At the end of the quarter, Zhou Quan stepped up again and won the game.

So when he feels good, the offense is unsolvable, and his individual offense can treat the Bulls' defense as nothing.

If the Bulls dare to concentrate on wrapping him, then it's over, his passing can completely crack the opponent's trap tactics, and the Bulls tried their best to trap them in the finals last year and last year? The result is losing. ”

On the NBC commentary bench, Elgin Baylor sighed: "In the first three quarters, the two sides competed for lineups, tactics, and lineup depth, but in the final quarter, when the winner is decided, none of this matters."

Because the individual ability of the two cores is so strong, they completely exceed the level of their teammates by a large margin, and their competition determines everything. ”

Robertson nodded and said: "Fight to the end, it's two cores, two super guards, and do the final decisive battle."

As far as this match is concerned, the eventual winner is the Iron Fist King. But the series is still long, and the real winners, we can't say right now. ”

At this time, Jordan gritted his teeth and exited, chasing a group of reporters behind him.

Pippen glared at the reporters in front of him, and scolded in his heart: "I'm also fifty years old, are you blind, only him in your eyes?" ”

After the game, Zhou Quan was interviewed at the scene, and the reporters who came over circled three or four times, there were twenty or thirty people, and other reporters also wanted to go in, but they couldn't squeeze in.

"Iron Fist, the media is bullish on the Bulls, but you guys won on the road, can you explain why?" A reporter from NBC asked.

"Because the game is full of variables, any outcome can happen, and the underdog can beat the team that is stronger than them." Zhou Quan said while wiping his sweat.

"You're saying that hypersonic speed is weaker than that of the Bull?" The reporter asked.

"Isn't that what your media say? I'm very cooperative with you. Zhou Quan teased.

"Haha......"

The reporters around laughed.

"Where do you think you won today?" The reporter asked again.

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "Our fast attack is good, the bull has used all the methods, and it can't completely strangle our fast attack, we have to insist on fighting and find a way to fight."

If we don't have a fast break, we're going to get stuck in a positional battle, we're going to get caught up in the Bulls' strong defense, and we're going to be much less efficient offensively, and that's not going to be able to win against them. ”

"Iron Fist, before the game Mutombo said you couldn't dunk him, and then you dunked him, did he thank you?" A Seattle Times reporter suddenly asked.

"No, he said it wasn't his dream to be shackled by me, so he didn't have to thank me." Zhou Quan said seriously.

As soon as the words ended, everyone around them burst into laughter.

……

Back in the locker room, Jordan sat down in a chair.

He was very depressed, the first three quarters were tied, and he had a chance to win it, but he lost in the last quarter at the hands of Iron Fist.

That's when Phil Jackson came in and said, "Michael, his offense is at the level of your prime.

No matter how much we defend, no matter how strong our defense is, we can't defend against him, and his individual offense has reached a level of inexplicability. ”

"No solution?"

Jordan wasn't surprised, it wasn't an inexplicable offense, how could it be possible to win him against his defense?

Then Pippen came in and shouted, "Then what are we going to do, and we are going to lose to him again?" If we lose again this time, he will win three crowns on our heads, and if he wins us in the finals three times in a row, he will step on us to achieve a dynasty, and we will become a background board, do we still have face? ”

"Shut up!"

Hearing this, Jordan's eyelids jumped and he scolded sharply.

"Oh."

Pippen originally took this to Jordan, but after being scolded, he didn't dare to say it again.

"Phil, what should I do?"

Jordan asked, looking up at Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson sighed: "He's just like you, when you feel good, no one can stop you from winning." ”

"Can only expect his hand to deteriorate? What's the solution? Jordan said coldly.

Phil Jackson analyzed: "Our tactics in the first three quarters were right, lock up the others, and let him play alone.

But Iron Fist didn't go all out in the second and third quarters, preferring to let us catch up on the score, and he was very calm and very intelligent, which was quite troublesome. ”

"Michael, you're going to score more points in the last quarter, more than him, and we're going to win." Pippen said at this time.

"You bastard, does that mean I'm inferior to him?"

The corners of Jordan's eyes twitched, and he wanted to get up and beat Pippen to death.

Phil Jackson sighed: "Iron Fist's defense, I mean his stealing ability, should be unique in the history of the league." ”

At this point, he didn't go any further.

Jordan snorted angrily, he understood what Phil Jackson meant, and like Pippen, he said that he couldn't defend against Iron Fist's attack, but Iron Fist could limit his attack. He can't argue with it yet, because that's what it is.

At this time, no matter how firm his will is, he is a little confused, does he really have to get the big dream to win the iron fist?

……

At this time, the fans are leaving the stadium and some stars are also being interviewed by the media.

"Big Dream, where do you think the Bulls lost today?" A reporter interviewed Olajuwon.

"Mutombo is good, but his offense is a little bit worse, he doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball, and he can't improve the quality of the Bulls' offense in the low post," Olajuwon analyzed.

I mean, the Bulls' offense still has to rely on Michael's outside offense, and as he gets older, he now has fewer breakaway points, more jumpers, and a drop in shooting percentage.

The Bulls' introduction of Mutombo did not improve the Bulls' offense, but only increased their ability to protect the basket.

And today Tekken was in very good shape, and when this guy is in good form, I don't think anybody can guard against him, and Mutombo can't do it. ”

"So do you think the Bulls still have a chance in this Finals? Can you give your own advice? The reporter asked.

Olajuwon thought for a moment and said, "Michael changed the defensive pattern in the final quarter, and it actually worked, and Tekken didn't hit as well as the first three quarters in the final quarter, and I think it should have been done from the beginning."

If that defensive pattern is maintained throughout the game, Iron Fist's shooting percentage will not exceed 50%, and the Bulls have a better chance of winning. ”

"You mean those hand movements?" The journalist asked.

Olajuwon smiled awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders, and said no more.

"Charles, who do you like to win this time?" Next to it, there is a reporter interviewing Barkley.

"I'm still more bullish on the Bulls." Barkley was adamant.

"Why?" The journalist asked.

Barkley said eloquently: "Iron Fist just won the game on the basis of his form today, and once his form slips, the Bulls' chance comes."

And I'm sure it will, no one can keep that 48-point run for an entire series. ”

Reggie Miller, who was being interviewed two meters away, heard Barkley's words and immediately shouted: "Hey, Fliggy, he can do it, last year's West Finals he had two consecutive 50+ and 30-point performances in a single quarter on your heads, have you forgotten?" ”

"Smelly mouth, shut up for me!" Barkley said in annoyance.

That's when Stallone said, "Hey, Mr. Barkley, listen to me, if you still want a championship, go to Seattle."

I think the glider Drexler made the right choice, and for the sake of the championship, the thighs of the iron fist shuddered. ”

"Poof, haha......"

Many people around couldn't help but laugh.

Barkley glanced at Stallone in embarrassment, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Stallone, are you so optimistic about Iron Fist?" ”

Stallone shrugged his shoulders and said: "He's nine years younger than Michael, he's already at his peak, he's even at the top this year, the media says he got to the top last year, but I don't think so."

He's stronger this year than last year, he's stronger after gaining weight, this year is his prime, I have to be optimistic about him, the supersonic lineup is also good, it has nothing to do with me being his friend. ”

"I think Rambo is right, after the Iron Fist King gained weight, there is no sign of a decline in athletic quality, and it is indeed stronger than last year."

"Could it be that the Iron Fist King is really at his peak?"

"God, he has already won three crowns before he entered the peak, and now he has entered the peak, isn't the whole era his?"

When the surrounding media reporters heard this, they began to talk about it.

"Hakim, let's go find Michael." Barkley pulled the big dream and left.

The two went to the Bulls' locker room, and the staff called Jordan out.

Of course, Jordan was in a bad mood, but when he heard that it was Big Dream and Barkley coming, he immediately came out and greeted: "Hey, Hakim, Charles." ”

"Michael, you're too polite to Iron Fist's defense, you should have started from the start, this is your home field, it's okay to move bigger." Big Dream said.

"yes, use a little bit more." Barkley chimed in.

Jordan sighed secretly, relying on dirty little moves to win Iron Fist, has he reached this point now?

In the past, he defended Iron Fist and could rely on tonnage and strength to squeeze the opponent's center of gravity, but tonight, he can't do that, and he is obviously inferior to Iron Fist in terms of confrontation, which further increases the difficulty of defense.

So when Iron Fist attacked with all his strength in the last quarter, even if he used some small movements, he couldn't completely strangle Iron Fist's offensive firepower.

"Hakim, which team are you going to?"

The result made him uncomfortable, and he digressed the subject.

Da Meng shook his head and said: "It's not decided yet, several strong teams have good centers." ”

"I think the Pacers are good, although they didn't make the playoffs this year, they just lack a good center, and if you go, you should be able to take off." Jordan said.

"Teaming up with Reggie Miller? That stinky mouth and iron fist are dead iron. Barkley cried.

Hearing the words of the two, Da Meng's face paled, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll see if there is a suitable team." ”

He can't look down on the Pacers, only tenth in the East, so it's better to stay in Mosaic, so Mosaic has made it to the Western Conference finals.

Is Jordan planning to trick him? If yes, then you deserve to be suppressed by Iron Fist, and it is better to let Iron Fist complete the three-in-a-row dynasty on your head.

God knows that what Jordan said is true, he is really optimistic about the Pacers, the big dream is gone, he really thinks that he can take off directly.
