God of NBA point guards

Chapter 138 Double-teaming Zhou Quan
At this time, with the whistle of the referee, the final quarter began.

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida said: "The two sides sent all the starting players, and the Bulls attacked the first ball in the last quarter."

Ringo Wilson went on to say: "The Bulls didn't make a full-court press, but a half-court press."

creak creak...

In the middle, after John Paxson pushed the ball across the center line, the sound of sneakers rubbing on the court quickly intensified.

As soon as Zhou Quan crossed the center line, the speed of retreating slowed down immediately, and he retreated in small steps, suppressing the opponent's advancing speed.

He was highly focused, bent his body, and stared at Paxson in front of him with sharp and firm eyes, full of oppression like a Jaguar that might pounce at any time.

"Bang... bang..."

Paxson, who was in possession of the ball, was tense like a steel wire. While guarding against Zhou Quan's steals, he also had to observe the situation on the court and be ready to release the ball at any time. He felt a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Quan observed the basketball that kept bouncing and falling from the corner of his eye. He was catching the opponent's dribbling rhythm, and from time to time he used harassing movements to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, putting the opponent in a very awkward rhythm, so as to find Chances of stealing the ball.

Three small steps forward, that is, a little more than one meter. Paxson was very uncomfortable. Every time he dribbled forward, the iron fist would interfere with him.
"It's now."

When the ball bounced off the floor again and was held down by Paxson's palm, Zhou Quan's nerve reaction speed of level 96 made Zhou Quan react the fastest, and he squatted down slightly.

The next moment, Paxson's right hand pressed the ball again, and the ball left his palm.

"squeak!"

At this moment, the screeching sound of sneakers rubbing against Zhou Quan's feet resounded.

"Snapped!"

He rushed forward like a swift leopard, bent his upper body forward, took a big step forward with his right foot, and stabbed the ball forward with his right hand precisely. When he poked the ball away, his strong body Paxson was also knocked away instantly.

"Steal!"

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida suddenly yelled as if he was nervous.

"squeak!"

On the right wing, when he saw Zhou Quan's steal, Jordan immediately turned around and returned to defense regardless of whether the steal was successful or not.

But his defense position is on the three-point line, while Zhou Quan's steal position is two steps away from the top of the arc, three steps ahead of him, and he returns to the center from the flank, the distance will be even further, and there is a gap in the middle Joe Dumas.

Joe Dumars' reaction is also very fast. His defensive position is between Jordan and Zhou Quan, where he can cut off the passing line between Paxson and Jordan. His fast down is only half a beat slower than Jordan.

At this time, Zhou Quan had already controlled the ball, and began to rush down from the middle, rushing to the front.

Running like hell, while veering to the right, Jordan passed Joe Dumars at the halfway line, cleared the first hurdle, put his opponent in the back, and continued to accelerate, desperately accelerating.

When Jordan crossed the center line, Zhou Quan, who was definitely slower, had already crossed the center line by one step, and rushed towards the basket like a pickup truck running crazily.

"Michael, hat him!"

Countless Bulls fans roared and buzzed frantically, and the noise of the United Center made the entire arena tremble.

"Can you catch up?"

In the TNT commentary booth, Ringo Wilson shouted expectantly.

Jordan chased to the left elbow area, and when he saw the Iron Fist taking off one step before, he took a big step, and followed the leap,

His bullet speed was faster than Zhou Quan's, he jumped higher, and his arms were longer. In the air, his right hand quickly approached Zhou Quan's raised right hand, and approached the basketball he wanted to slap away.

"Crack clap..."

At this moment, all the cameras in the media seats behind the baseline flickered frantically.

All the reporters were very excited. They hoped to capture the scene of Jordan successfully chasing the Iron Fist and riding the Savior alone. That must be the most exciting moment.

"Jordan."

At this moment, Zhou Quan, who was about to chop with the axe, felt the explosive pressure from behind, and he quickly contracted his waist and abdomen.

The next moment, he slashed violently with the axe, and the right hand holding the ball seemed to have broken free from the cage. In an instant, he opened the distance from Jordan's right hand and slammed on the basket frantically.

"boom!"

There was a loud explosion of baskets.

"..."

The boiling joint center fell silent instantly, and the decibels fell freely from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Rodman and the others on the field, the assassins on the bench, etc., two thousand Pistons fans raised their arms and screamed excitedly.

"Damn!"

He missed the ball by just a little bit, and it was really only a centimeter away, Jordan, who was extremely regretful, couldn't help cursing bitterly.

"I almost missed him in the first quarter." Pippen, who was catching up, said to Jordan.

"Congratulations, Mr. Michael Jordan, you almost shot me just now."

It just so happened that Zhou Quan heard this sentence, and immediately put on an angelic smile on his face, and sprayed a trash talk at Jordan.

Jordan flushed with anger, and glared at Pippen with murderous eyes, you idiot, you actually handed him a knife, did you want to see him humiliate me?
After being stared at, Pippen quickly shut his mouth tightly.

75:67, the Pistons lead by 8 points, and the Bulls attack.

On the right wing, Jordan holds the ball himself, depriving Paxson of the responsibility of holding the ball across the frontcourt.

"Boy, come and defend me if you have the guts." He sprayed at Zhou Quan in the middle.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Old boy, can you replace me with a pick-and-roll, can't you do that?"

"Humph!"

Jordan snorted angrily, and he really came over.

His idea is to blow up the core and leaders of the Pistons with his own hands, thereby damaging the morale of the Pistons.

Moreover, he hated Zhou Quan deeply, and being able to blow up the most hated and hated people with his own hands was what he was most willing to do.

He took Joe Dumars to the top of the key and ran a pick-and-roll with John Paxson.

After dismantling, he moved the ball behind John Paxson and finally matched Zhou Quan.

Anti-burst is not anti-cast.

On the three-point line, this is Zhou Quan's basic strategy for defending Jordan.

If Jordan's three-point shot is right, he can shoot deadly people, but generally he doesn't shoot three-pointers very much. In this era, three-pointers are not popular in the league, and three-pointers account for a relatively small proportion. This is why he is so defensive.

"squeak!"

Jordan made a breakthrough with his feet, without a tentative step, because Joe Dumars was next to him, and there was no time for fake moves. After the ball was pulled to his left hand, he immediately made a strong breakthrough from the left.

Zhou Quan's reaction was too fast. After all, the nerve reaction speed of level 96, this reaction speed, is enough for the start of the [-]-meter race.

"not good!"

But just as he retreated, Jordan stopped suddenly and then retracted.

The next moment, Michael Jordan glanced disdainfully at Zhou Quan, who had lost his balance and was almost knocked down by him, and then calmly jumped up from outside the arc top three-point line.

"Snapped!"

At the moment the ball was released, Joe Dumars, who bypassed Paxson, jumped from the right and slapped the ball out of the left line.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Jordan being slapped, there was a sigh in the United Center.

After being slapped, Jordan couldn't help but glance at Joe Dumars. This guy doesn't do much offensively, but his defense is still good.

"Joe, I have to thank you, you ruined his performance on me." Zhou Quan smiled.

"Haha..." Joe Dumars laughed.

"Humph!"

Jordan snorted.

"It's such a pity that the ball is hit. If it hits the target, Tekken will be the backdrop." In the TNT commentary booth, Ringo Wilson sighed regretfully.

Robert Jeddah nodded and smiled: "It's like the background board when Michael Jordan became the Iron Fist dunk just now."

"Ha ha……"

When he said this, he laughed, and Ringo Wilson couldn't help laughing with him.

The bulls regrouped and attacked again.

Zhou Quan still took the initiative to defend John Paxson, instead of defending Jordan in a flash.

In terms of height, he is ten centimeters behind Jordan, and the gap is even bigger after adding the wingspan. Joe Dumars should have a better defense against Jordan than him.

But he is not afraid of Jordan, because he is far ahead of Joe Dumars in confrontation.

On the left wing, Jordan came out from below to catch the ball. Time was running out, and after forcing Joe Dumars two steps, he made a sudden stop jump shot in the three-point line.

"boom!"

It missed, the basketball hit the basket and rebounded, and was caught by Rodman.

"Rodman played better than in G1 today. He defended very hard. This is the 8th rebound. Without his defense and rebounds, it would be difficult for the Pistons to lead today." Robert Guida said.

On the right wing, before Joo Kwon could catch the ball, Jordan was on his side.

"Oh, backcourt pressing!"

Ringo Wilson shouted.

Zhou Quan caught Jordan to catch the ball, then immediately turned around and passed the ball, switched to his left hand to control the ball, his right elbow was stuck outside, and Jordan, who was following up on the right side, was stuck, and he moved forward rapidly, getting faster and faster.

Jordan knew it was going to die, so he quickly withdrew the confrontation, let go of his feet and rushed forward, trying to establish a defensive position in front of him first.

But Zhou Quan's reaction was super fast. When he crossed the center line, when Jordan passed, he suddenly changed direction to the left, and rushed from behind Jordan to the middle.

Seeing Zhou Quan hit the top of the arc, Pippen on the left wing had to come over to defend.

Phil Jackson has repeatedly told him not to double-team Zhou Quan on the outside, but now it is not a double-team, Jordan has been stunned, and he must wipe Jordan's ass.

Pippen headed for the free-throw line, and Ulrich immediately cut inside the paint.

Zhou Quan reached the top of the arc and saw Pippen's supplementary defense and Ulrich's inside cut, but instead of passing the ball, he accelerated to the free throw line again.

Jordan followed closely behind Zhou Quan, only half a step away, with his left hand against the latter's lower back, but his defense was still clean and he did not push hard.

Pippen slapped his horse and rushed to the free throw line. The next moment, Zhou Quan bumped over with his shoulder. With a bang, he groaned, leaned back, and hit his back on the floor.

Zhou Quan's speed dropped sharply, but he exerted his strength again and forced a step to the free throw line.

As a point guard, the first thing is to read the Bulls' defensive tactics, and then play the corresponding offensive tactics based on the opponent's defensive tactics.

At this time, he knew that if he entered the paint area, he would definitely attract double teams, so he rushed in.

"squeak!"

Taking advantage of Zhou Quan's slowing down, Michael Jordan took a step forward, stopped abruptly, turned around, and finally got in front of Zhou Quan.

At the same time, Carter White and Grant were also forced to come out of the basket by Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball.

Zhou Quan was forced to stop by Jordan, put his hands together for the ball, got up and swung upwards, and then Jordan flew up.

"Oops!"

As soon as Jordan flew up, he thought it was bad.

At this moment, Zhou Quan closed his body and pushed the ball forward very quickly with one hand. The ball passed through Jordan's right side, hit Cartwhite's feet behind, and bounced up.

The next moment, Ulrich just cut into the paint close to the baseline, cutting from behind Carter White to the basket.

"coming!"

An orange basketball suddenly bounced from the floor into his eyes, and he immediately put his hands together and caught the ball between his chest.

"boom!"

In the next moment, his figure exploded, and he smashed the ball with both hands, blasting the Bulls' basket.

"Ah hoo!"

Two thousand fans of the visiting team raised their arms and cheered instantly.

"Xiao Zhou played the ball really beautifully!"

In Zhang Lili's home, he praised: "Holding the ball into the penalty area, one person attracted the defense of four people, and the teammate's inside cut was also very timely.

The point is that he was too calm, shaking Jordan with fake moves first, and then passing the ball.And his pass was too accurate, passing through the blockade of the three in front and reaching the hands of his teammates.Wonderful biography, real wonderful biography! "

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida said excitedly: "For Iron Fist, this is his basic operation. He is good at passing the ball in the crowd."

Ringo Wilson nodded and said: "But if the state is not good, there will be many mistakes."

Robert Guida said with a smile: "But now he is in a good state. It can be said that he broke the entire Bulls' defense with this ball alone, and Ulrich's final dunk was just a natural result."

The game progressed to the 9th minute of the final quarter, with more than two minutes left, the Bulls were already behind by 11 points.

Jordan repeatedly passed pick-and-roll singles in the final quarter, and the effect was not bad. He made 8 of 4 shots. After the first ball in the final quarter was blocked, he made 7 of 4 shots in the next 10 shots. Down [-] points.

On the defensive end, he defended Zhou Quan closely, making it impossible for Zhou Quan to break through smoothly.

But Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars can basically solve this problem with pick-and-rolls. Whether Jordan switches defenses or not, he can still break through.

He kept breaking through with the ball and hitting the Bulls' penalty area. In the first 9 minutes, he sent 5 assists, and his state was even better than Jordan.

It was his hot state that allowed the Pistons to further widen the point difference.

The Bulls attacked, Phil Jackson called a timeout, arranged offensive tactics for Jordan, and changed defensive tactics at the same time.

He said: "Our defensive tactics against Iron Fist failed in the final quarter. Starting from Michael, we couldn't prevent his breakthrough."

The veins in Jordan's forehead were throbbing constantly, very annoyed.

His speed is a bit faster than Zhou Quan's, and his strength and confrontation ability are not inferior to Zhou Quan's. His defensive skills are top-notch. The regular season and G1 games are also very effective in defending Zhou Quan. Not so much.

Phil Jackson stared at Jordan and analyzed him: "Michael, Iron Fist is a very calm opponent. He is very smart and very calm. Facing your defense, he will use pick-and-roll to get rid of you and use various breakthrough techniques. Come to surprise you, let you be hard to guard against.

And you have to notice that his reaction speed is very fast, definitely not slower than yours, you must not underestimate him. "

"I didn't underestimate him." Jordan gritted his teeth and said.

Phil Jackson nodded and said: "I don't need you to steal his ball, I just need you to strengthen the confrontation, block his right hand, force him to the left wing, and then you and Pippen double-team him from the outside of the left wing."

"Outside double-teaming?"

Jordan was surprised, a rookie, has it reached this level?
Pippen interjected: "Phil, he's a threat to pass the ball. Are we really going to double-team him on the outside? Didn't you say you don't need to double-team him on the outside?"

Phil Jackson shook his head and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. We must flexibly adopt tactics that suit the current situation."

Having said that, he couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little ashamed, because his on-the-spot command ability is really not that good.

Then he added: "Remember, Ulrich's mid-range shot is average, he is better at going in and dunking. When you double-team the iron fist on the left wing outside, Cartwhite or Grant should pay attention to Ulrich's inside cut , If he makes a mid-range shot, the hit rate will not be very high, at least it will be much smaller than the threat of letting the iron fist rush in, and our offense can fully withstand that threat."

Jordan and Pippen nodded.

Phil Jackson warned again: "Iron Fist's passing is very weird. It passes between people and often passes through the crotch. It is hard to guard against. Be careful."

Then the timeout ended and the game resumed, with the Bulls serving from the sideline.

"brush!"

At the critical moment, facing Zhou Quan's defense, Jordan made a three-pointer.

Zhou Quan's nerves tensed, and he actually started chasing points with three goals, and he made a shot, which made Michael Jordan even more difficult to defend. He couldn't help playing [-] percent of his energy.
