Chapter 561: Pumpkin Head

Just do it when you think of it, at this time Zhou Quan retreated to the backfield, and Bibi also crossed the middle line.

He suddenly looked to the right, and made a U-turn so wide that Bibby almost completely disappeared from his field of vision, as if observing what was happening behind him.

"Good opportunity, rush over."

After Bibi saw Zhou Quan's movements, he reacted very quickly, and immediately prepared to accelerate from the left side of the Iron Fist King and his right side.

In the next moment, his right foot accelerates to the front right, and the right hand in possession of the ball also dribbles forward.

But none of his actions escaped the lock of Zhou Quan's full-level foresight.

At the moment when his right foot just stepped out and his right hand just dribbled forward, Zhou Quan also moved.

"Squeak!"

Zhou Quan moved instantly, first taking a diagonal step with his right foot from the back of his left foot to the left back, and then taking a diagonal step from his left heel to the left back, and his pace moved very fast.

"What?"

Mike Bibby's right foot took a step, and as soon as he landed, he found that the Iron Fist King was back in front of him.

"Not good!"

He suddenly reacted, and his ball was not behind him at this time, but dribbled to the front, completely exposed to the eyes of the Iron Fist King.

"Smack!"

Just as Mike Bibby reacted, Zhou Quan had already swept past him, taking his ball with him by the way.

"Wow, this steal, it's amazing!" Xu Jicheng said in amazement.

"Predictive move, Zhou Quan predicted the opponent's breakthrough. His lateral movement just now belongs to the last mover to come, first come! The push blocked the opponent's breakthrough, and the final steal was a natural result, and that move was the key to completing the steal. Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

Zhou Quan flew violently, and immediately made the entire stadium thunderous, and almost all the fans of the home team were cheering and applauding him.

"Feasible."

Zhou Quan was a little happy, deliberately not looking at the ball holder, luring the opponent to act, as long as the opponent moved, the flaws would be exposed, and the opponent's ball would be exposed.

This is the strategy of luring the enemy, I will not move if the enemy does not move, and I will move first when the enemy moves, and the last strike will come first.

Anticipating the enemy's opportunity, and even letting the opponent obey his own command to move, this is the highest state of the soldier, and the instructor's battle of crossing the Chishui four times has reached this supreme realm.

His current physical fitness, technology, and even experience have reached the realm of no promotion, and his strength can no longer be improved, only from these aspects, I hope to have some improvement.

However, it's best not to use this kind of defense too much during the regular season, otherwise it may not be useful in the playoffs after scaring opponents.

Then, he didn't use this kind of defense anymore, even if he didn't look at the pass, he didn't use it much, and occasionally did it, like a flash of inspiration.

In this game, he also punched in the third quarter, scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the third quarter, with a shooting rate of 62.5%, and 3 of 7 three-point shots, with a shooting rate of 42.9%.

Mike Bibi made just 2 of 15 shots and committed seven turnovers in front of him, scoring just five points and two assists.

The SuperSonics had five players in double figures, along with Patterson and Campbell, as well as Rashad Lewis and Cory Magetti off the bench.

In this game, Ewing and Mullin played five minutes each, did not score, did not have much playing time, no way, there are a lot of young players, there is no more time for them.

Zhou Quan observed Ewing's state, rarely entered the basket in the past five minutes, the offensive and defensive state was average, and it was not very positive, the rebounding ball was okay, and he grabbed two, anyway, he could use it as a substitute.

As for Chris Mullin, he is not as good as Ewing, it is useless, to come to the supersonic, it is really to mix a championship ring.

Easily beating the Grizzlies, the SuperSonics rushed back to Seattle overnight.

"Iron Fist King, Bowen has some problems with his foot and is going to take a break, I want to try Mason and give him a start, what do you think?"

On the evening of the 1st, Paul Westphal found Zhou Quan and asked.

"Desmond Hemeson? I have no opinion. ”

This year's first round of the No. 17 show, a lottery pick from the Supersonic 99 trade, these days the training attitude is not bad, Zhou Quan has no opinion.

However, this young man's skills are not good, he is not very optimistic.

Paul Westphaal added: "Zhou, I want to give other youngsters more starts, we have no problem in the regular season, you see? ”

"It's the best thing to do, we should give young people a chance, Paul, I'm behind you." Zhou Quan nodded.

Two hours later, the SuperSonics hosted the Nuggets and defeated their opponents to make it their second straight win in the opening game.

Mason started and played 29 minutes, Zhou Quan gave him a lot of opportunities, and even gave him the opportunity to attack with the ball, 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls.

Explosive physical fitness, impactful, fond of dunking, as an outside player, not good technique, poor shooting, poor three-point shot, is a person who uses talent to play with his body, not a person who plays with technique, a typical dunker.

Such a person has a limited ceiling, and once his physical fitness declines or he is injured, because he has no skills, his form will immediately plummet.

Just one point, no shooting and no three-point shot, so that Mason lost his main position next to Zhou Quan, and could only play a dozen benches.

On the 4th, the SuperSonics defeated the Trail Blazers at home to make it three wins in a row.

The Lakers also played three games, losing the second to the Jazz and winning two and losing one of their first three games.

The Spurs won three games, the Jazz won three games, and the SuperSonics ranked first in the West.

Zhou Quan paid more attention to the performance of Kobe Bryant and Duncan, and specially found their game videos.

Bryant has gained 100 kilograms and is stronger, and these three games have shown better confrontation ability and technique than last season, especially the difficult techniques such as the backward jumper and the turnaround backward jumper, which are more smooth to use.

However, in general, in Zhou Quan's eyes, Kobe's technology has not yet reached the realm of Dacheng, and it still needs time to grow, and it has not reached its peak.

He has some regrets that O'Neal has already entered his peak in the OK combination, but Kobe's age has staggered O'Neal's peak, and the pair is destined to have limited achievements when they meet him.

If they are all at their peak, such an OK combination will have a chance to form a great threat to him, and now it should be a little worse.

And Tim Duncan, after a serious injury, these three games rarely saw that kind of flying style of play, and it became a floor flow.

But the technique is really good, the nickname of the big basic skill is not wrong, you can't jump, play with technique, Tim Duncan is the same as Tim Duncan.

This kind of person is the rarest, the value is much higher than that of people who play on the body, and the peak period will not be short, which is worth paying attention to.

It's a pity that, like the OK combination, David Robinson is old, and the Spurs twin towers are destined to play together for a short time.

On the 5th, the league announced the best player of the first week, and actually played a double yolk egg, giving the Jazz a black and white double evil.

The Jazz won all three games and tied for first place in the West, with Karl Malone averaging 31.7 points and 9 rebounds per game, and John Stockton 15.3 points, 12.3 assists and 3 steals.

At the same time, the league announced the first phase of the MVP rankings, and the superSonics won three games and three times, and Zhou Quan ranked first with an average of 31 points, 13.3 assists, 2.7 steals and 2 blocks per game.

On the 6th, the SuperSonics challenged the Magic on the road.

In this game, Westafar took Campbell's starting position and let Rashad Lewis play the starting line-up.

Bowen's feet were better, but he still played off the bench, and Corimageti started in the third position.

This made the duo very excited, and they vowed to play this game well and try to secure their starting positions.

The Magic brought in Maddie and Grant Hill, and now Maddie has become the boss of this team, after the Magic went 2-2, Maddy was out for one game due to injury, and averaged 21.3 points per game in three games, shooting 43.4%.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced their starters.

Sonics: Ben Wallace, Rashad Lewis, Corry Maggetty, Ruben Patterson, Zhou Quan.

Magic: John Amici, Mike Miller, Don Red, Maddy, Darrell Armstrong.

Zhang Li described the Magic team's lineup in one sentence: "Except for Maddie, that is, Mike Miller is barely okay, the rest are leftovers, except for making a trade partner, there is almost no trade value." ”

With such a team, Zhou Quan has no desire to attack at all.

At the start of the game, Ben Wallace flicked the ball away on the head of Amic at 208 cm, and the supersonic attacked.

Zhou Quan held the ball, Maddie, who had the best outside defense for the Magic, did not come over to defend him, and Darrell Armstrong defended him hard.

Xu Jicheng introduced the player's information and said: "Darrell Armstrong is an undrafted pick, with a shoe height of 183 cm and 77 kg, this is his 7th season, and he has already mixed up, and now has an annual salary of three million.

He has won the honor of the Most Improved Player and the Best Sixth Man once, and now he can play an average of 15 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.8 steals per game, which is the second scoring point of the Magic, which is very good, but the shooting percentage is a little lower, only 41.2%. ”

Weighing 20 kilograms, Zhou Quan is almost two Armstrong big, and if he touches his opponent, the opponent will be easily knocked away.

With such an opponent, he has no desire to attack, but plays tactical gestures to let his teammates run.

Power forward Lewis suddenly ran from the restricted area to the left wing, and small forward Corey Margay also suddenly ran from the left wing three-point line to the basket, and when the two crossed over, they made a pick-and-roll, Margeti blocked Mike Miller, and Lewis ran to the left wing three-point line fifty degrees and got an open spot.

"Whoosh!"

Before Lewis reached the three-point line, Zhou Quan's ball had already passed, and Lewis took a step over the three-point shot after receiving the ball, then turned around and shot a three-point shot.

Mike Miller hastily jumps symbolically from two meters away, and the hairs don't touch a single one.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and hit the three-pointer.

"Rashad Lewis, open threes are accurate." Xu Jicheng praised.

"It's a pity that the defense is a little worse." Zhang Li added.

Magic Offense.

Zhou Quan didn't go to the defense guard and followed Maddie.

Seeing that the Iron Fist King followed him, Maddie's heart tightened, he is not the age of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, this is his fourth season, and he knows deeply how strong the Iron Fist King's defense is.

However, there is also a strong sense of excitement rising in his heart, and if he can play a beautiful attack under the Iron Fist King's defense, it will surely make him famous and even catch up with his cousin Vince Carter, who has made a big splash at the Olympics.

You know, he knows very well that Vince Carter has made a lot of money after completing the death deduction, and has earned tens of millions of dollars in business income in one summer.

Now there are the so-called big four quarterbacks, Iverson is the most famous, followed by his cousin Carter, and then Kobe, who is at the bottom.

"I can't lose to them."

With this intense psychology, he reached out to point guard Armstrong.

Armstrong passed, and the passing action was full of flaws in Zhou Quan's eyes, not to mention suddenness, and even the route of the pass was not far behind, which was very conducive to his steal. As soon as he starts to tackle the ball at the moment of the pass, he has a chance to complete the tackle.

But he didn't make a steal, but wanted to see how strong Maddie is now.

After he and Jordan retired, the league began to favor the big four, but in his eyes, nothing more than that.

Among the big four, Maddy's physical condition is the best, whether it is static talent or dynamic talent, and he started with defense in the Raptors, he is excellent both offensively and defensively, and his current strength is by no means weaker than Kobe, the Bulls once wanted him and regarded him as the second Pippen.

"Smack!"

Maddie blocked Zhou Quan with his left elbow, received the ball with one hand with his right hand, and then adjusted his body, grabbing the ball diagonally to the back with his right hand to prevent Zhou Quan from stabbing the ball.

Far away in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant was watching the game, and he was very envious when he saw Maddie's cool move, because he had small hands and could barely grasp the ball with one hand, but he couldn't make any big moves, and he was likely to lose the ball if he moved a little wider.

And this weakness, when facing the defense of the Iron Fist King on the offensive end, will make his attack very limited.

"Vince said your nickname is Pumpkin Head?" Zhou Quan said suddenly.

“……”

Maddie's eyes instantly dilated, bastard Brother Mai, what are you saying this in front of the Iron Fist King?

This is the nickname given to him by his aunt when he was a child, because since he was a child, his hairstyle was pumpkin head.

At this time, if you steal, the success rate is not too high, but Zhou Quan is still too lazy to steal, he wants to see Maddie's offense now.

"Come on, let me see your offense." Zhou Quan said.
