God of NBA point guards

Chapter 219 Charles, do you want to call a doctor?
The Bulls were ready to serve from the bottom line, and Zhou Quan, who was standing next to Jordan, was moved in his heart, and suddenly rushed to Trent Tucker, who was about to catch the ball two steps away.

Joe Dumars reacted quickly and immediately blocked in front of Pippen, cutting off Pippen's receiving angle.

As soon as Jordan saw Zhou Quan pounced on Tucker, he knew that the Pistons were going to press in the backcourt, and immediately shouted at Scott Williams who was about to serve: "Here."

The next moment, Zhou Quan, who had just pounced on Tucker, turned around and pounced back. At this time, Scott's ball had already been passed.

"Damn!"

Jordan immediately stepped forward and took off to catch the ball.

And Zhou Quan also rushed forward, grabbing the ball with Jordan in the air.

But he knows that Jordan has a height advantage and can jump higher than himself, so his goal is not to grab the ball, but to fight against Jordan in the air so that Jordan can't catch the ball.

So he didn't jump too high at all, but jumped up on purpose and rubbed against Jordan. Jordan hadn't touched the ball, his body was crooked, and then the ball was sent flying.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed.

"The bull is in trouble!" Bill Wharton shouted.

Darnell Walker was lucky at the critical moment. He rushed over to get the ball, and quickly handed it to Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan turned around and rushed to the basket with the ball.

"Shet!"

Jordan gritted his teeth angrily, and chased after him.

Pippen, Tucker, and Scott, who had just served the ball, rushed to the basket to stop Zhou Quan's attack, and Jordan also caught up, but Zhou Quan pushed the ball and the ball flew to Chauduma on the right wing. s.

Pippen hurriedly turned around and rushed to Joe Dumars, but Joe Dumars handled it calmly and did not shoot. Instead, he pulled beyond the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to come back, and at the same time delaying the attack time.

Five seconds later, he passed the ball to Zhou Quan on the left wing, Zhou Quan received the ball, the others pulled away, and he began to single Jordan.

The attack time was almost over, Zhou Quan made a false shot and made another three-pointer, but this time Jordan accurately predicted and almost missed the ball.

"boom!"

The ball was short, Sekali moved first at the critical moment, grabbed this crucial offensive rebound from Scott's head, and was fouled by the opponent.

"Ronnie, good job."

With a smile on his face, Zhou Quan ran up and applauded Sekali.

Although Sekali's defense is not good, but the rebounds are really strong, averaging 9 points per game in the playoffs, and the offense is not bad, averaging 15 points per game in the playoffs.

Under his passing, the hit rate exceeded [-]%. This efficiency, in the case of the Bulls' inside is also poor, is a very good performance, and it is also a key factor for the Pistons to win the two games.

"71 seconds, 9 points, the Pistons still have two free throws, the Bulls are very difficult to chase." Bill Walton said.

The next free throw, Sekali made the first free throw, missed the second free throw, Grant grabbed the rebound, and the Bulls attacked.

"brush!"

Jordan went down quickly, received a long pass from Grant, and hit the top of the arc with a three-pointer with an emergency stop jumper. The basketball pierced through the Pistons' net like a sharp arrow.

"what!"

The audience boiled instantly, and the Bulls fans seemed to see the hope of the Bulls coming back. Huge shouts and cheers resounded for nine days.

Zhou Quan followed closely, but was freed by Jordan's emergency stop, and fell to the floor.

Jordan looked down at Zhou Quan, his eyes were as cold as knives and as sharp as a sword.

Zhou Quan got up without looking at Jordan, stepped forward to bump Jordan, and yelled at the teammates who returned to the defense: "The game is not over yet, what about our defense? Defense! I want to see your defense! "

Sekaly and Rodman lowered their heads. They were careless just now and did not stop Grant's fast pass, which allowed Jordan to play a fast break.

"This attack took 2.4 seconds, and now there are 68.6 seconds left, 102:95, and the Bulls are still 7 points behind." Zhang Reasonable said.

"The bull hasn't given up yet!" Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "There's still enough time, how could you give up? You're crazy, after a wave of offense and defense, what's the advantage of 7 points, 1 minute is enough.

Don't forget that Jordan is the most powerful killer in this league. As long as he is given a chance, he has enough ability to kill any game. "

In the ABC commentary, Bill Walton said: "52 points, congratulations Michael Jordan, you scored the sixth 50+ in a single game in the playoffs of your career, surpassing Chamberlain, scoring 50 games in a single game in the playoffs, First in history."

"It's amazing." Williams laughed.

Pistons attack.

Zhou Quan estimated that in order to speed up the tempo, the Bulls would press the backcourt, and Joe Dumars and Darnell Walker were behind him, and he personally advanced with the ball.

"Damn!"

Jordan cursed secretly, and could only defend and retreat.

He has concerns, he doesn't dare to press Zhou Quan, because Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball is too powerful, and once the press fails, it will be troublesome.

And there's still time, it's not time to put all your eggs in one basket.

"Defend! Defend..."

At this time, nearly [-] Bulls fans shouted, and uniform shouts sounded from the United Center arena.

Zhou Quan took the ball to the left wing, close to the left line, and the others pulled away, forming a single-handed mode between him and Jordan.

"Jordan, tonight, I am your God!"

At this time, Zhou Quan, who hadn't spammed trash all game, actually spat trash.

Jordan was stunned, endless anger surged to the top of his head, his eyes were full of evil spirits, but the next moment he swears: "Asshole!"

"squeak!"

As soon as Zhou Quan's trash talk was out of his mouth, he suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, and started to thrust from the right side. Jordan was distracted by his trash talk, so his reaction was slow, and he rushed over with one step.

"Suddenly!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Seeing that Zhou Quan rushed to Jordan and reached the left elbow in two steps, Scott Williams, who was in the low post, had to lose Sekali and go up to defend.

"squeak!"

Zhou Quan hit the left elbow and made an emergency stop jump shot, and the ball flew to the basket.

This position is the most accurate area for Jordan's mid-range shot, and it is also the most accurate position for his mid-range shot, because this position is the weakest area of ​​defense under the man-to-man defensive system. That hasn't caught up yet.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, Zhou Quan's full-level willpower is very effective, his shots are very firm, his hands are also very steady, and with his physical fitness, he can still persist, and the basketball hits the basket.

"Beautiful! One goal for one goal, just do it like this, use the score to suppress the bull's momentum, and don't let the opponent get up." Zhang reasonable shouted excitedly.

"49.2 seconds, 104:95, another 9-point difference. If the Pistons can't defend against the offense, then even if the Bulls can score themselves, they won't be able to come back." Bill Walton said.

On the right-wing three-point line, Jordan stood still to catch the ball, leaned over to drop the ball, and suddenly started a breakthrough. One step from the left side, he broke through Zhou Quan, and when he hit the right elbow area, it was an emergency stop jumper.

"brush!"

The water splashed and hit two points.

Zhou Quan gritted his teeth. It wasn't that he was careless, but that his physical fitness was not as good as Jordan's, and he couldn't keep up with his feet. At the last moment, Jordan's physical advantage was being reflected.

The Pistons have always had the upper hand, and now they still have two timeouts, one long and one short, and the Bulls still have a long timeout. After receiving the ball, he immediately made a timeout gesture and asked for a long timeout to give himself a chance to breathe.

Back on the bench, after taking the towel and sitting down, the masseur came over to massage his calf, and his teammate handed him another energy drink.

"104:97, we still have a 7-point advantage, and there are 37 seconds left in the time, so everyone can't be careless." Assistant coach Musk reminded.

Chuck Daly squatted in front and said in a low voice: "For the last half minute, cheer up, as long as we survive these 37 seconds, we can win the match point."

At the match point, everyone was refreshed.

Especially the assassin's eyes are shining.

"Now we change formation and catch them off guard," Chuck Daly said.

After the timeout, both sides played.

On the Bulls side, BJ came on and replaced Tucker.

For the Pistons, Darnell Walker was off and Isiah Thomas was on.

"Oh, both sides are very bold, and they both replaced a point guard." In the ABC commentary booth, Williams said in surprise.

Bill Walton immediately analyzed: "The Bulls should speed up, time is running out. But the Pistons? I don't know what Coach Chuck Daly thinks about."

The Pistons attack and the Assassins advance with the ball.

Neither Zhou Quan nor Joe Dumars stayed behind to respond, and took Jordan and Pippen away, leaving the assassin to deal with BJ alone.

BJ tried to force the assassin, but although the assassin's body was weak and his rich experience was not comparable to him, he easily turned around and rushed over.

In the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Zhou Quan on the left wing.

"Understood, it's physical fitness. Iron Fist's physical fitness is not good enough." Bill Wharton said.

On the field, Jordan immediately went over to press Zhou Quan, trying to speed up the pace.

But he couldn't grab Zhou Quan's ball by himself. Zhou Quan tossed for a few seconds outside the left-wing three-point line. Jordan's press had no effect, so BJ lost the assassin and double-teamed from the top of the arc.

"The bull is in a hurry!" Zhang Lili said loudly.

"Whoosh!"

After two steps from BJ, Zhou Quan suddenly passed the ball, and the basketball flew straight to the top of the arc.

"Oops!"

BJ hurried back to defense, but there was still no time?

What kind of person is the Assassin? A super madman who scored 25 points in a single quarter in the finals.

"brush!"

The ball flew to the basket, splashing a pure white water.

"ah!"

Isaiah Thomas roared excitedly, beyond excitement.

"Defense!"

Zhou Quan's roar sounded like an alarm.

"Squeak..."

Jordan is sprinting upfield.

Under the basket, Grant picked up the ball and was retreating to the baseline.

Rodman hurried forward, waving his hands constantly to prevent the cobra from going fast.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Quan caught up with Jordan, and Joe Dumars also returned to his defense.

"The Bulls are gone!" Bill Wharton shook his head.

"107:97, the Pistons lead by ten, with only 18 seconds left." Williams said.

On the field, the Bulls took 15 seconds to complete an attack. Jordan made a strong shot and missed. Rodman grabbed a defensive rebound. With only two seconds left, the Bulls gave up.

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"Oh hoo!"

Zhou Quan, Joe Dumars, Rodman, the Assassins, all Pistons players, staff, coaches, and two thousand Pistons fans cheered heartily at this moment.

Not far away, watching the celebrating Pistons, Jordan was extremely unwilling.

He lost the key G5 game at home and allowed the Pistons to get the match point. The three consecutive championships encountered the greatest difficulty. He would rather let all other teams in the league beat him than be defeated by the Pistons.

"The next game, get back in the next game, we must get back."

But the game was over, and he could only accept the result. With this in mind, he turned and walked towards the player tunnel, with a lonely background.

"MJ! MJ..." Many fans kept calling him.

In the ABC commentary, Bill Walton said: "The G5 game is over. The Detroit Pistons defeated the Chicago Bulls and won the second round match point."

威廉姆斯拿起数据统计表念道：“乔丹42投22中，命中率52.4%，三分球6投3中，8罚7中，单场54分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽3失误3犯规。

The state of the first quarter was not very good, but Michael adjusted his state in time later, and the statistics of the whole game were still super explosive, but it was a pity that he lost to the more popular Iron Fist.

Losing the match point cast a shadow over his prospect of three consecutive championships and fell into a dark situation. He must be very unwilling. "

比尔沃顿念道：“铁拳28投16中，命中率57.1%，三分4投2中，4罚4中，38分6篮板12助攻4抢断3失误4犯规。

He scored 16 points less than Jordan, but his organization and passing allowed the Pistons to shoot 50.5% of their shots overall, while the Bulls only had 46.4%. In the end, the Pistons had the last laugh. "

Williams asked with a smile: "Bill, Iron Fist should belong to the big core of the ball, right?"

"no doubt."

Bill Walton said: "Most of the ball is in his hands, and the whole team revolves around him alone. His personal performance determines the team's victory or defeat."

Williams said: "This style of play is also a top-level style of play, but there should be good and bad, right?"

Nodding, Bill Walton said: "As I said just now, if he is not in good form, the team will most likely lose the game.

His current style of play is somewhat similar to that of Jordan at the beginning. Later, after Phil Jackson became the head coach, Jordan gave up the ball.

But there are also differences, that is, he is a point guard himself, not a shooting guard. If his offensive state is not good, he can still concentrate on organizing the offense, pass the ball to his teammates, and make moderate adjustments between organization and individual offense, and his His psychological quality is very stable, so his state has always been very stable. "

"Michael Jordan is so strong. He couldn't make it to the Eastern Conference Finals with his big-core play. After giving up the big-core play with the ball, he changed to the triangle offense and won two consecutive championships. Why did the Pistons switch to play with the ball because of the iron fist? What about nuclear play?" Williams asked again.

Bill Walton said: "Jordan is not a point guard after all. Too much possession of the ball must have disadvantages, and Pippen's growth is a necessary condition. His existence has liberated Jordan's singles ability. The ultimate goal of the triangle offense is to let Jordan plays singles, so this tactic is best for Jordan.

But the ball-holding big-core style of play does not mean that you must attack with the ball, and it does not mean that you must play by yourself. Iron Fist’s personal offensive ability has improved a lot this season. Go out and let your teammates attack, so this style of play is also the most suitable for him.

Everyone has a style of play that suits him. Jordan and Tekken are different types, so they need different styles of play. Fortunately, they both got their chances and met the right coach. "

At the scene, Zhou Quan was being interviewed.

"Iron Fist, are you confident of winning this series at home?" ABC reporter asked.

"We hope, but we have also made all the psychological preparations." Zhou Quan didn't say anything.

"Is there no absolute confidence?" The reporter asked.

"What is absolute confidence? Do you think the bull is a kitten or a shrimp? Then you underestimate Michael Jordan too much. He is not the trash you thought he was."

Zhou Quan can be sure that this reporter has bad intentions and his attitude is biased towards the bulls.

The reporter explained embarrassingly: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say he was trash."

Zhou Quan gave the reporter an embarrassment, and then explained: "It is to make all the psychological preparations. This kind of preparation can keep us from getting confused under any circumstances."

"You gave up the ball to Joe Dumars and even Isiah Thomas for some time tonight, and they did a good job, as good as you, will you share the ball with them in the future? "The reporter immediately changed the subject.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "I will play as the team asks me to play. Are you satisfied with my answer?"

"Satisfied with the devil!" The reporter said dissatisfied in his heart.

"Okay, this is the end."

Zhou Quan ended the on-site interview in good time, walked to the bench, and bid farewell to the Pistons fans and friends he knew with his teammates.

Back in the locker room, Chuck Daly didn't make a conclusion and asked the players to take a shower.

Zhou Quan came out of the shower, and Musk said: "Iron Fist, 97:109, the Suns won at home and also got the match point.

Barkley made 16 of 11 shots, 68.8% shooting, 15 of 13 free throws, and scored 36 points and 12 rebounds, the best performance.

David Robinson made 16 of 10 shots and a 62.5% shooting rate, but only made 9 of 4 free throws. His lethality was not as good as Barkley's, and he couldn't make free throws. He only scored 24 points and 8 rebounds. "

He was a little surprised and said: "15 free throw opportunities? That guy is very lethal!"

"Don't underestimate him. Fliggy, who plays on the top of the three super centers, he and the postman are the most powerful power forwards in the league. By the way, that rain man Sean Kemp is getting stronger and stronger. " Musk laughed.

"Match point, we got the match point, haha!"

At this time, in Phoenix, in the Suns locker room, Barkley was so happy that he didn't even know where to get a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

In the first round of the series, he was almost blacked out by the Lakers. In the second round, he won two consecutive home games and two consecutive away games, which made him feel like riding a roller coaster. Now he finally got the match point, so he is very happy.

"Charles, the Bulls lost and the Pistons got the match point." A staff member said.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Buckley, who was drinking champagne, almost choked to death when he heard this.

"Do you want to call a doctor?" Lightning asked with concern.

"No, no... ahem... thank you, Kevin, I'm not there yet."

Barkley calmed down, thanked him, but still didn't believe it, and shouted: "This is impossible, how could Michael lose the match point, he said he would win, Iron Fist can't beat Michael."

"Michael scored 54 points, but Iron Fist was more efficient. He scored 38 points and 12 assists to kill the Bulls." The staff member shook his head.

"How is this possible?" Barkley said in a daze.
