Chapter 474: If you can defend against the Iron Fist, we won't lose two finals in a row
Jordan went all out to defend back, and the four guards on both sides started in similar positions, but Zhou Quan, who was fast with the ball, fell behind under Harper's entanglement.
However, Zhou Quan still tried to speed up as much as possible, leaving Ron Harper, who was not as fast as him, behind him, and hit the left wing three-point line before Mutombo returned to the penalty area.
Hawkins had stopped at the top of the arc, and Jordan had to stop at the top of the arc as well, looking sideways at Zhou Quan while moving to the basket.
At this time, Tony Kukocz returned to the defense in time and rushed from Jordan's side to the basket.
As soon as he arrived at the basket, Zhou Quan, who had a steady foothold, had already flown at him, so he had to jump up and block in a hurry.
Right in front of the basket, Jordan jumped up and blocked from the wing.
"Don't be brute!"
Seeing Jordan and Tony Kukocchi blocking, Zhou Quan still had to dunk strongly, and Zhang Cheng shouted in shock.
The next moment, Zhou Quan's right hand holding the ball was thrown backhand, and the ball flew over Jordan's palm.
"Hawkins?!"
Jordan was startled, and the next moment, there was wind behind him.
When Jordan went to the basket to help defend, Hawkins at the top of the arc also pounced, and at this time, Zhou Quan threw a backhand pass, he stepped up and jumped, received the ball in the air with both hands, and smashed it to the basket.
"Damn it!"
Jordan knew he was going to be sucked.
"Bang!"
"Oh roar!"
As the sound of the basket sounded, Jordan was blocked by Hawkins, and the center gymnasium cheered again.
"Yay!"
On the supersonic bench, the glider jumped up excitedly, raised its arms and cheered.
"Wonderful Biography! Zhou Quan used a powerful attack to attract the bag, and then made a clever pass to Hawkins. Zhang said excitedly.
"If Jordan doesn't go down to help defend, Zhou Quan will definitely block Kukoc, Kukoc's ability to protect the basket is too average." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"That's for sure, last time Zhou Quan was blocking Mutombo. As long as the Bulls dare to wrap up, Zhou Quan's pass will definitely make them pay the price. Zhang Li said with a smile.
80:78, Bulls attack.
Jordan ran to the top of the arc and played with Harper, but Zhou Quan bypassed Harper in time to catch up, Pippen, who held the ball on the left wing, did not pass, and Jordan stayed at the top of the arc after the failure of the block, and Harper ran to the right wing with Hawkins.
At this time, Mutombo was in position under the basket and asked for the ball with his back to Rodman.
Pippen saw that the basket was high and short, and Phil Jackson asked for the tactics to play just now, so he didn't hesitate and hurried to pass the ball.
At the moment when Pippen passed the ball to the basket, the high Zhou Quan turned and pounced on the basket.
"1 assist."
At this time, Mutombo's career average assists per game came to his mind.
This number of assists means that Mutombo's ability to find his teammates' open positions is poor, his vision and passing ability are poor, and in terms of probability, if he fails to pack, the consequences will not be serious.
Sure enough, after Mutombo received the ball, his attention was on his own attack, and he didn't see Jordan at the top of the arc reaching for the ball.
"Smack!"
Zhou Quan burst out, reached out with his right arm, and struck a precise blow to catch the ball that Mutombo hooked to the basket with one hand.
"Grab your hat! Tekken grabbed the hat of the African mountains of Mutombo ......"
The on-site commentator Henum Chrisman immediately began to roar, and the passionate voice suddenly pulled up the home atmosphere of the center gymnasium.
"Oh roar!"
Supersonic fans cheered.
Taking a step inside the three-point line on the left wing, Hawkins began to go fast, and Harper, who was outside the three-point line, also began to defend back, and the two ran even.
On the right flank, Pippen began to defend as soon as possible, and Schramf began to go down quickly, but the position was behind.
Under the basket, Zhou Quan did not pass the ball, but advanced with the ball himself, and the speed was very fast, leaving several inside lines behind him from the beginning.
Jordan defended from the top of the arc, retreated to the top of the arc in the backcourt, and faced Zhou Quan, who was killed, and waited for it.
On both wings, Hawkins and Schramf both stopped outside the three-point line and didn't cut in, pinning down Harper and Pippen.
At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan took a step in front of Jordan, and suddenly his shoulders shook, and he came with a one-handed virtual swing and broke through from Jordan's right side.
Jordan was shaken, and when he moved to the left, he collided with Zhou Quan.
"Bang!"
With a dull crashing sound, he leaned straight back, and was knocked to the ground.
And Zhou Quan's body was also stunned, and the next moment, he burst through again.
At this time, the basket was empty.
The referee who was running on the side saw that he did not blow the whistle, but pointed in front of him with his right hand to signal the attack to continue.
"Oh roar!"
More than 10,000 supersonic fans couldn't wait, and they all began to cheer, raising their arms and shouting.
"Bump into someone foul!"
Phil Jackson yelled, but his voice was drowned out in the shouts.
"Jordan was knocked over." Zhang Lili shouted in high spirits.
After pulling the ball up, he closed the ball, held the ball high in his right hand, and Zhou Quan took a step across the free throw line and took off.
"Tomahawk clasp!"
Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, Zhou Quan suddenly closed his right hand, then changed hands under his crotch, and smashed the Bull's basket with the ball in his left hand.
"Yay!"
The continuous shouting of the audience suddenly increased several times, and the huge sound wave was like a tsunami, instantly drowning everything.
"Beautiful! After the block, a one-stop fast attack, the crotch changed hands to pick up the left-hand big loop split dunk, Zhou Quan's dunk can definitely participate in the dunk contest. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.
At 80:80, the Bulls attacked.
Phil Jackson called a timeout, and Iron Fist unleashed back-to-back defensive counter-attacks with two blocks, a wave of 6-0 to keep the Bulls scoreless, and the supersonic momentum soared to the ceiling, and he had to interrupt its rhythm and momentum with a timeout.
"Jordan still has 21 points, and Zhou Quan has 28 points. He's also shooting 60 percent from the field, and his late form is improving. Zhang Li said with a smile.
"At the beginning of the final quarter, he scored four points and one assist, and there were two blocks, and the key point was that he grabbed the ball with his blocks. The last Zhou Quan began to exert his power. Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
On the NBC commentary booth, the director of the scene contacted Elgin Baylor, and he excitedly said: "Great, just now, our ratings broke through 56 million, and now it's 56.4 million, congratulations to the SuperSonics and the Bulls, congratulations to Tekken and the Flyers, you have set a new record." ”
"Great!" Robert echoed excitedly.
On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said calmly: "Don't worry, we haven't fallen behind, now we have to do a good job of defense, the key is to limit their rhythm when the offense and defense are switched."
Deacon Bay, you didn't stop the Iron Fist in time when you just switched between offense and defense, you have to pay attention to that, OK? ”
“OK。” Mutombo nodded.
Phil Jackson said: "On the offensive end, be careful of the iron fist's co-defense, just two blocks, he was sent out in the case of co-defense.
So the ball carrier must be careful, pay attention to their co-defense, the supersonic team's pinch defense is very fierce, especially from the iron fist.
I'll give you two stats, the SuperSonics are averaging 15.3 steals per game this season, the first in the league and the second in the league Green only have 9.1, and we only have 8.8, which is a very scary gap.
Blocks, the SuperSonics are second in the league with 6.5 per game, the league's first Timberwolves have 6.8, and we have Mutombo, but only 5.6.
Gentlemen, remember that the supersonic team these two data are so powerful because of one man, the Iron Fist.
As a point guard, he averages 5.4 and 1.9 blocks per game. And neither of these two stats in the regular season this season has been his strongest performance in recent seasons. ”
The timeout ends, and the Bulls attack.
Jordan ran back on the right wing, cut outside the three-point line to catch the ball, and then immediately shot a step-back jumper.
Zhou Quan caught up and blocked it, but if he couldn't seal the ball, he sealed Jordan's face, and a big hand completely covered Jordan's black face.
"Bang!"
Jordan missed a blind three-point shot, and Rodman grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, but he didn't have a chance to pass to Zhou Quan, who started to go fast, and was blocked by Mutombo.
Zhou Quan came back to catch the ball, and then pushed Jordan with all his might.
When he hit the left wing three-point line, he came to an emergency stop, and at the same time made a feint to close the ball, and when Jordan made a quick stop and turned to pounce, he suddenly dribbled and killed from the right side.
"Suddenly!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
At the top of the arc, Hawkins stopped there, Harper was in the high position, and saw Zhou Quan burst Jordan and could only defend to the basket.
Schramf on the right wing also stopped at the three-point line, but Pippen didn't dare to return to the basket.
Zhou Quan went to the basket and did not give the ball to Hawkins at the top of the arc, because at this time Tony Kukoc had returned to the top of the arc, and he saw it.
He jumped up at Harper, threw it with one hand, and the ball slid over Harper's palm, hit the rebound with a thud, and bounced into the basket.
"Beautiful! At the critical moment, Zhou Quan blocked Jordan's attack, and once again played a fast attack of defensive counterattack, throwing and hitting the board, and now the supersonic speed has overtaken the score. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"Zhou Quan forced a fast attack, just not to give Mutombo a chance to return to defense easily." Zhang explained quickly.
"Mutombo's fitness is not very good, his running speed has dropped significantly, and he can no longer keep up with the rhythm of supersonic attack and defense." Xu Jicheng said.
"Pippen's playing time is also five or six minutes longer than the supersonic main forces, and their physical fitness is not very good, and they are struggling to run. Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Zhou Quan has blocked the Bulls several times in the last quarter, and he didn't let the Bulls score, this defense is explosive!" Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
"It's that the main force of the Bulls has been playing for too long and is not physically fit, so the offensive quality is poor, and it is easier to defend." Zhang Li said.
"That's because Zhou Quan's physical fitness is better than theirs." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
"Of course." Zhang Li nodded.
At 80:82, the SuperSonics led by 2 points, and the Bulls attacked.
Jordan tried to put his back on Zhou Quan's key position on the right flank, which was often used before, because at that time his confrontation was not weaker than Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan's weight was still 92 kilograms, and he could stand and have a height advantage.
But now, as soon as the physical confrontation was generated, he couldn't stand still, and Zhou Quan's tonnage reached 97 kilograms, and his confrontation was no longer as good as Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan let go of the top and one in the back, which made Jordan feel very uncomfortable, and he immediately gave up asking for the ball and ran to the three-point line.
Harper held the ball at the top of the arc and saw Jordan cut outside and immediately passed it.
As soon as Jordan received the ball, Zhou Quan chased him in front of him, and he immediately passed back.
But when Zhou Quan caught up, he made a prediction based on Jordan's playing style today, Jordan did not hold the ball and beat him today, and there was a high probability that he would pass it back to Harper.
So when he chased in front of Jordan, his body only paused slightly, giving Jordan an illusion, but he didn't slow down completely, and at the moment of Jordan's pass, he rushed forward with his feet, and his big hand was towards the ball.
"Smack!"
The figure flickered, completed the break, and rushed forward with the momentum, starting to go fast.
"Break the ball! The Iron Fist King breaks the ball and goes down quickly......"
Henem Chrisman, the on-site commentator, roared excitedly.
"Oooooooooo......oo
In the central gymnasium, more than 10,000 supersonic fans saw this, shouting and roaring excitedly again, and the shouts and cheers were extremely high.
"Bang!"
The inference was too sudden, and even Harper at the top of the arc didn't have time to return to defense, and Zhou Quan killed in the penalty area, which was a tomahawk-style split, which detonated the central gymnasium again.
"Great! In the final quarter, Zhou Quan sent two blocks and a steal, leading the team to play a wave of 10-0 attacks, from 6 points behind, now 4 points ahead. Zhang said excitedly.
"Tick!"
At this point, the Bulls served, and Harper, who received the ball, called a timeout.
"This wave of defensive counterattacks of the Iron Fist King directly stunned the bull!" Elgin Baylor said.
"It had to be defense, and the Iron Fist King's defense made all four of the Bulls' offenses fail, including Jordan's two offenses that didn't hit, one missed and one turnover." Robertson Road.
In the face of Zhou Quan's strong defense, Phil Jackson actually has no way to solve it, if he can solve it, it has been solved in the past few seasons, so he just interrupted the rhythm of the supersonic game by taking a timeout to let the players calm down.
He re-emphasized the need for the ball carrier to be careful with Zhou Quan, then laid out the offensive tactics and emphasized that Mutombo should strengthen the low post attack.
The timeout ends, 80:84, and the Bulls attack.
"Brush!"
Jordan made a difficult turn-back jumper under Zhou Quan's defense and hit a ball.
82:84, supersonic offense.
Turning around, Zhou Quan held the ball at the top of the arc and singled Jordan.
"Oh, turn around and hit your back?"
Zhang Li was stunned, Zhou Quan was often seen playing on the outside in the rookie season, but since the second season, after Zhou Quan's breakthrough skills have been strengthened, it is rare to see Zhou Quan playing on the outside, basically breaking through the basket.
When Zhou Quan turned around and put on a back-hitting pose, Jordan strengthened his guard.
He knew that his current confrontation was not as good as the iron fist, so he did not die, but took the initiative to retreat in small steps under Zhou Quan's support.
And the main defense on the left side, it seems to prevent Zhou Quan from breaking through from his left side, but in fact, his defense focuses on the right side, preventing Zhou Quan from turning around and breaking through.
Facing the right wing, Zhou Quan arched two meters from the top of the arc to the free throw line.
In his field of vision, Mutombo has already stepped up from under the basket and could pounce on him at any moment, so he still keeps arching in, making a posture that does not arch to the basket and never stops, and continues to attract Mutombo's defense to create opportunities for breakthroughs.
The central gymnasium was very quiet at this time, and everyone watched Zhou Quan beat Jordan with his back.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson, who was staring at Zhou Quan and Jordan, clenched his fists.
Under the basket, Mutombo took a step up and reached two meters in front of the basket, and if Zhou Quan arched over the free throw line, he only needed one step to complete the bag.
On the left wing, Pippen watched Zhou Quan arch to the free throw line, and finally couldn't help it, let Schramf go, and pounced.
He is the most suitable person for the bag, because Zhou Quan relies on playing Jordan, and he is carrying him behind his back, and he must not be able to see his pinch.
"Scotty?"
When Jordan saw Pippen coming over to flank the shot, he knew that he might be in trouble, because Iron Fist could choose to split the ball, which had happened many times before, and he didn't think that Zhou Quan couldn't see Schramf's vacancy with his back to the left wing.
Zhou Quan heard the sharp sound of sneaker rubbing from behind, and knew that there was a bag behind him, and the next moment, the moment his right hand pulled the ball up, he suddenly turned right and put his head first.
At the same time, his left hand pressed towards the basketball that was pulled up.
His gaze swept to the left wing, but it didn't affect his left hand to control the ball, as the basketball below was still in his field of vision.
"It's coming!"
At the moment when Zhou Quan turned right, Jordan's nerves behind him tensed, and his center of gravity immediately shifted to the right, making preparations to prevent Zhou Quan from turning around and breaking through.
Although he knew that Zhou Quan might share the ball, his position could only prevent Zhou Quan from turning and breaking through, and now he only hoped that Pippen could stop Zhou Quan from passing.
Mutombo below saw Zhou Quan turn around, and the foot that was about to pounce immediately stopped and adjusted his pace.
Pippen, who pounced behind Zhou Quan, saw Zhou Quan suddenly turn around and instinctively went to find the ball, hoping to take the opportunity to cut off the opponent's ball.
The reason why Zhou Quan's stealing ability is terrifying is that he has a full-level panoramic vision, even if the ball is blocked by the ball holder, he can also make up the position of the ball in his brain, so his steal is a prepared battle, plus precise strikes, so the steal ability is super terrifying.
Pippen doesn't have a full-level panoramic vision, and in this case, he has to lock the ball with his gaze before he can make a move, so that his tackle will be a beat slower than Zhou's.
To put it simply, when Zhou Quan steals, there is one less link to lock the basketball position than others, and he doesn't have to go out of his way to see where the ball is, just start directly.
In the next moment, Zhou Quan's head, who turned right, was first turned into the left flank for a moment, and of course he saw Pippen who was flanked, and he also saw Schramf who appeared vacant.
The next moment, he made a right turn, and the left hand holding the ball suddenly took advantage of the turn momentum to push the ball towards Schramf's position.
"Whoosh!"
The ball was so fast that the ball flew past Pippen's right shoulder in an instant, and Pippen was caught off guard and couldn't make any interception reaction.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Zhou Quan's pass, Jordan scolded secretly, immediately turned around and stuck Zhou Quan, made amends, and prepared for the backcourt rebound.
"It's passed!" Xu Jicheng shouted.
"Big vacancy!" Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.
"Smack!"
Schramf received the ball, and with no defender within three metres, he exhaled and jumped calmly.
"Brush!"
"Oh roar!"
The moment the water splashed, the Seattle Center Gymnasium resounded with a huge cheer.
"At 82:87, the supersonic attack wave continues." Elgin Baylor shouted excitedly.
"The pass was too fast, with an iron fist with his back to the left wing, but it was as if there was an eye behind him to see Pippen's pinch and Schramf's open space."
Seeing Zhou Quan's pass, Robertson looked very excited.
He himself is a super point guard among the top 50 superstars, and he is also very surprised by Zhou Quan's vision ability.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson angrily shouted at Pippen: "Scottie, play according to tactics, tactics!" ”
Pippen was a little annoyed, if I had made it, you wouldn't have said that.
He was afraid of Jordan, but he was not afraid of Phil Jackson, and he didn't look at Phil Jackson, and ran directly to the backcourt.
Jordan chased after him and shouted at Pippen, "Scotty, watch your people, I don't need your bag, understand?" ”
"Humph!"
Pippen snorted angrily, come on, if you can guard against the iron fist, we won't lose two finals in a row, what are you pretending to be in front of me?
