On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson was laying out his tactics.

He arranged defensive tactics, because in the second quarter, it was not the offense that went wrong, but the defense that made Iron Fist shoot all 5 shots.

"Obviously, Michael, you're not effective against Iron Fist's defense, and we're going to have to arrange for someone to help you." He said.

The green tendons on Jordan's head jumped very hard, and he wanted to say, "you, I don't need help, I'm going to continue to defend alone." ”

Phil Jackson continued: "Iron Fist shot 11-of-14 from the field and shot 78.6 percent from the field, and he was in terrible form tonight, so if we continue to play like this, we won't have more than a 30% chance of winning, so we can only change the defensive tactics we used against him in the series." ”

"Outside Wrap?" Pippen asked.

Phil Jackson sighed secretly, the tactic of outside wrapping is a tactic of killing a thousand enemies and losing a thousand and a half under the passing of Iron Fist, which has long been proven to be unable to deal with Iron Fist, but now Jordan can't guard against Iron Fist, he is really out of line.

"The nearest person is responsible for wrapping the iron fist, and the other positions speed up the rotation and don't give them big empty spots."

After admonishing him, he added: "Iron Fist wants to crush us in the second quarter, so we must hold on, his physical energy will be consumed a lot, as long as we carry it and bite the score, the second half is our chance." ”

At this time, the timeout ended, and there was no change in the lineups of both sides, the Bulls were still the main force, and the SuperSonics were still Zhou Quan and Hawkins with the bench lineup to play.

"Brush!"

Jordan cut outside, received the ball and hit a step-back jumper and hit a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan has been defended in place and still let Jordan shoot.

Zhang Reasonably: "Jordan's state today is not bad, not only not bad, but also very good, under Zhou Quan's defense, 6 of 11 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 3 shots in the second quarter, a total of 21 points on 8 of 14 shots, and the shooting rate is as high as 57.1%. He made 3-of-5 three-pointers and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The feel is also explosive, that is, it was broken twice by Zhou Quan and sealed once." By the way, the confrontation today is actually very intense, but there are very few free throws, Jordan has two more, Zhou Quan has not once, I think Jordan has a lot of defensive moves enough to blow. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "This is the home court of the Bulls, and Zhou Quan has offended the entire referee committee, so it is impossible to get a free throw opportunity easily."

However, the referee will not give Jordan too many free throws, that matter has too much impact, David Stern is sitting on the sidelines, and the referee does not dare to mess around. ”

45:33, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan didn't play a fast attack, there were too many offenses in the second quarter, and the physical consumption was too great, so he slowed down the positional battle first.

As he slowly approached the top of the arc, Jordan immediately stuck to him, and he began to push sideways.

Pippen, who was on the left wing, saw Zhou Quan sideways, and immediately began to wrap up from behind and pounced on the top of the arc.

"Back!"

Hawkins, who plays small forward, immediately shouted when he saw it.

"Bag clip?"

Zhou Quan listened to the sound of sneakers rubbing from behind him, and when he stayed behind him, he suddenly turned around and blew the ball.

The head was first, and the vision locked on Hawkins' position for the first time, and the next moment, the ball was blown up, and with a wave of his left hand, the basketball flew towards Hawkins like a meteor.

"The eyes in the back of the head, what a quick pass!"

On the NBC commentary bench, Robertson shouted excitedly.

Hawkins, who was ready, made no mistakes, and when he received the ball, Kukoc, who pounced from below to make up for the defense, was still three meters away from him.

It was said to be a big vacancy, but Hawkins felt like a glider, because he was likely to win tonight, and his mind was affected, and his hands were shaking, so he hesitated.

"Vote!"

George Carr roared.

By the time it was time to shoot, Kukoc had already arrived, and a flying block almost knocked off the cap of Hawkins' fresh shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball is a little shorter, and the basket bounces off the basket.

"Ouch! Big empty seats, huh? Hesitated! Zhang Cheng sighed.

"Mine!"

Rodman jumped hard next to Mutombo, grabbed the ball first, and then took a second jump to grab the offensive rebound.

"Well done!"

George Carr roared.

At this time, Pippen had already returned to Hawkins, and Zhou Quan ran to the left wing through the left elbow area, received a pass from Rodman, jumped forward, and glided to shoot.

"Don't think!"

Jordan followed suit and struggled to block.

"Bang!"

A little off, Mutombo grabbed the rebound in the backcourt this time.

"Zhou Quan didn't shoot either, and the shooting rate of this kind of difficult shooting is still lower, and luck is also very important." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

The Bulls attacked, and Pippen singled out Hawkins and shot straight three-pointers.

"Brush!"

Hawkins is the same height as Zhou Quan, and Pippen's height is 203 cm, and he hits a three-pointer with a big shot.

"Oh roar!"

Nearly 20,000 Bulls fans cheered loudly, and the Bulls' morale began to rise.

"Defend!"

Seeing that the score difference had reached single digits, Jordan couldn't help but lift his spirits, and in order to boost morale, he immediately roared loudly.

"Ouch, the Bulls hit three points again, 45:36, chasing 6 points in a row, and the supersonic are still leading by 9 points, be careful!" Zhang Li exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly reminded.

"Zhou Quan missed the first shot of the second quarter, 5 of 6 shots, and see how he performs next."

Xu Jicheng pinched his hands, his palms were full of sweat, and his head was too, his nervousness was not lost to the players on both sides of the field.

Before the Supersonic bench, George Carr summoned Schramf and Rodman, who immediately stood up and walked to the recording table.

The glider looked at the two with some envy, and he also wanted to play.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the top of the arc, and two meters from the three-point line, Jordan began to pester him.

On the left flank, Pippen stands between Hawkins and the top of the arc, and could flank Zhou at any moment.

"It's very difficult to pack outside the three-point line, especially with a master of passing like Tekken." Robertson reminded.

Hawkins saw that Pippen wanted to wrap the iron fist again, and thought that his current state was not good, so in order to contain Pippen, he immediately ran down.

When Pippen saw it, he could only abandon his bag and keep up with Hawkins.

Right wing Hugh Porter Davis also continued to run off the ball, intending to contain Ron Harper on the right wing and deny him a chance to trap Zhou.

Zhou Quan started to single Jordan at the top of the arc, Jordan reached out and poked the ball, hit Zhou Quan's wrist, and the referee blew the whistle.

Dead-ball chances, Schramf and Rodman took the opportunity to replace Hawkins and Sam Perkins.

"Clyde, are you calm?" George Carr asked Drexler back.

The glider immediately nodded and said, "Coach, I can do it." ”

Jordan Karl nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the glider to come on, so that the glider also replaced Hugh Porter Davis.

"The superSonics have basically reinstated their main lineup. They played a few minutes less than the Bulls' main players and would be much better fit. Zhang said reasonably.

At this time, the game restarted, Zhou Quan ran to the left wing to catch the ball, shook to the right, and then immediately picked up the left and turned to pass, and killed to the side.

Jordan immediately turned to follow, but was already a step slower after being shaken.

Zhou Quan took two steps to the position of 50 degrees of the left wing three-point line, and made a sharp stop, Jordan jumped up and blocked one step away, without touching the ball.

"Can you get in?"

Xu Jicheng stared at the orange basketball and asked nervously.

"Brush!"

In the next moment, the water splashed.

"Shet!"

Seeing that the ball went in again, Jordan's eyes were about to bleed.

"Haha, hit again, Zhou Quan's three-point shot should be 6 of 8 shots, the last shot was a mid-range shot, and today's three-point shot is a god!" Zhang said excitedly.

"In the second quarter, he shot 6 of 7, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 15 points, what a god!" Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"It's 48:36 and the Bulls are 12 points behind." Zhang Li said with a smile.

As the game continued, Pippen played Schramf with his back on the left flank, and suddenly turned and broke through, holding the ball from the left flank and smashing into the box.

At this moment, Rodman was pulled out by Kukoc, and Matt Geiger was caught by Mutombo again.

When Pippen broke through Schramf, the right waist took a step outside, Jordan suddenly ran back and cut out, and Zhou Quan, who followed him, saw Pippen's breakthrough with the ball, and chose one of the two and chose to return to the basket.

Pippen jumped up from in front of Mutombo, and seeing Zhou Quan pounce from the opposite side, he chose to split the ball, threw it with both hands in the air, and passed it to Jordan.

At the top of the arc, Drexler, Harper's glider, had already begun to make up for the defense and pounced on Jordan when Zhou Quan returned to the basket.

Jordan received the ball and immediately got up, holding the ball in both hands and shaking it upward, and the glider flew two steps away to block it, but the next moment, Jordan closed the ball.

"Oops!"

"Glider, you idiot!"

Drexler, who was fooled, flew past Jordan, and the next moment, Jordan jumped again.

"What?"

But at this moment, a figure flew up from the right waist position two meters away, and in an instant, he saw a big hand pull over, Jordan couldn't help but be startled, and instinctively stepped back.

"Smack!"

Zhou Quan flew past Jordan's side, and under the precise blow, the ball flew in his palm, Jordan let it go, and the basketball was pumped to his back.

"Oh!"

Bulls fans let out a cry of surprise.

"Oh roar!"

The supersonic side is also a surprise carnival.

"Zhou Quan returns to defense, big hat Michael Jordan!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

After Zhou Quan landed, he rushed to the sideline and got the falling basketball.

Jordan took the opportunity to return to the defense and grabbed the front of Zhou Quan, who did not force a fast attack, slowed down the rhythm, and stopped when he advanced to the left wing three-point line near the sideline.

"Dennis."

Zhou Quan made a gesture to block and dismantle inside, and shouted, but in the next moment, he suddenly started to break through.

"Cunning fellow!"

Jordan was deceived, his reaction was half a beat slower, and Zhou Quan burst over from the right side.

When he turned around to chase after him, Zhou Quan had already stopped suddenly, and it was too late to jump off the block.

"Get in!"

Zhang Li shouted.

"Brush!"

The water splashed, as if in response to Zhang Reason.

"Far two points? Pretty! Zhou scored 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the second quarter. It's 50:36 and the SuperSonics have a 14-point lead. Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"His offense is really freewheeling, he can play as much as he wants, Jordan is such a good defense, he can't prevent him at all, and his hand feels completely explosive." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan is now 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Jordan is 2 steals and 2 blocks. Jordan actually played well today, scoring 21 points in less than two quarters.

But it's clear that Jordan didn't show much on the defensive end, while Zhou Quan played better and was invincible offensively and defensively, so the SuperSonics were so far ahead. ”

"With both caps and four steals, that's six balls, one in and one out, and it's not unusual for the Bulls to fall behind by 14 points with 12 fewer balls." Zhang Lili said happily.

"Jordan's fitness is still not as good as it used to be, and he has less investment on the defensive end." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

The Bulls then called a third timeout of the quarter, after which the game resumed.

However, Harper couldn't hold on, he could only play 22 minutes during the regular season, and it increased to 27 minutes in the playoffs, and 30 minutes in the first few finals, which is already the limit with his current physical condition.

Steve Cole came on as a substitute against the Gliders.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan received the ball on the right wing three-point line and turned back to shoot a jumper, Zhou Quan couldn't seal the ball, so he directly sealed his eyes.

His eyes are closed without scruples, because he has a full-level sense of space, and he is not afraid of poking Jordan's eyes at all.

"Bang!"

It was short, the basketball smashed the basket and rebounded, and Matt Geiger got the backcourt rebound.

"Jordan made 2 of 5 shots in the second quarter, and his hand felt down, a total of 8 of 16 shots, and Zhou Quan's defense is playing its might." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

"Zhou Quan's defense is so good tonight, Jordan can still hit 50% of the shot, and his performance is very strong! The last game, desperate. Zhang Li exclaimed.

"The last ball, haha......" Xu Jicheng laughed, Zhang Reasonable reacted, and laughed too.

In the middle, Zhou Quan held the ball across the front court, smiled and said to Jordan, who was defending and retreating: "Flyer, do you still see the hope of victory?" ”

"Squeak!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jordan suddenly stepped up and reached out to poke the ball.

Zhou Quan's nervous reaction speed was too fast, and he reacted instantly, while protecting the ball sideways, his right hand pressed towards the basketball, and the moment he touched the ball, he pulled it back, dodged Jordan's stabbing ball, and then turned right and passed the person and burst over.

"It's dangerous! Taken aback! Zhang Li let out a sigh of relief.

"Just a little bit." Xu Jicheng was also taken aback.

When he reached the top of the arc, Jordan fell two steps behind him, Zhou Quan did not hesitate, stopped the ball at the top of the arc, and shook the ball upwards with both hands while standing up.

"Hats kill you!"

Jordan, who was two steps away, instinctively stepped forward and jumped to his feet.

"Damn it!"

But the next moment, he directly burst into foul language.

Zhou Quan retracted downward, and after Jordan flew over from the right side, he got up for the second time, this time it was true.

"Brush!"

There was a splash and a three-point shot.

"Three points again! Zhou Quan shook Jordan away and hit a three-pointer again. Xu Jicheng was extremely excited.

"This feel, already, is already on fire." Zhang was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

Xu Jicheng looked at the time for a while, and suddenly said: "Now there are 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Director Zhang, do you think it is possible for Zhou Quan to break the record of 25 points in a single quarter of the Smile Assassin in the finals?" ”

Zhang Li was stunned, the adrenaline in his body erupted instantly, and he said excitedly: "It is possible, with Zhou Quan's current feel, it is absolutely possible." ”
