God of NBA point guards

Chapter 240 Completely Suppress Lightning?

ESPN's explanation was immediately ridiculed by many media people.

"If ESPN is so bullish on the Suns, why are the Suns only two points ahead of the Pistons?" TNT.

"Even though ESPN says they are very optimistic about the Suns, their faces have been swollen by the Pistons, so their data is the best way to show their hearts. The difference is two percentage points. They are afraid of being beaten again by the Pistons." Face." ABC Television.

"Our colleagues are too shameful!" Urness said angrily after seeing the two TV stations' comments on their data.

……

"Charles, do you think ESPN's data is in line with the facts? Remind, Jazz, it is currently being broadcast live across the United States, and at least 2000 million people can hear your voice."

A TNT reporter interviewed Barkley by phone, and the interview was conducted live on the midday news.

"Oh, wait a minute, let me turn on the TV."

Barkley turned on the TV, tuned to the TNT channel, and then said with a smile: "Of course, I love ESPN, and their data is right."

"Do you think you're going to win your first championship in your career?"

"no doubt."

"Do you have any regrets about the league vetoing that trade?"

"No, only fools will regret it. I am now on the best team in the league. We will succeed."

"Tekken, do you think ESPN's forecast data is accurate? Reminder, this is a live news program across the United States, and Barkley also accepted our telephone interview just now."

The program then interviewed Zhou Quan by telephone.

Zhou Quan also turned on the TV, tuned to the TNT channel, and said: "Facts have proved that ESPN has been on the wrong road in predicting the NBA playoffs. The only thing they show is their non-professionalism. Especially when it comes to predicting the Pistons, they're not even as good as the 90-year-old grandma next door to me."

"Haha, Iron Fist, do you think you will win your first championship in your career?"

"I am very excited."

"What do you think about Barkley?"

"I wish him a successful career, although it is difficult to achieve, but it is my kindness and I hope he accepts it."

"I accept shit!"

Barkley swears directly.

"Charles, can you stop using foul language?"

His wife, Maureen, said emphatically.

"Sorry, dear."

Barkley shrugged and said, "But this kid cursed me, and I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"Don't go to the boxing ring with him. You can't hit him with a hundred punches. Don't be like Oakley and Larry Johnson." Maureen reminded.

Barkley said angrily: "I will only go to the wrestling ring with him, and I will smash him to death."

Maureen said with a headache: "I don't know why your relationship with him is so tense, he is now a superstar NBA star, if he can achieve some success in boxing and golf during the offseason, he will really be able to get out of the circle , the influence will completely surpass you, even Michael Jordan.

You have played basketball for so many years, but outside of the NBA circle, what influence do you still have?A person with such potential as him, shouldn't you make friends with him?You have to have your own social circle, not around Michael Jordan. "

Barkley muttered: "Can I blame this? He and Michael are mortal enemies. I support Michael, and this kid is not happy with me."

Maureen shook her head helplessly. Her husband is a person with good EQ, but unfortunately he messed up his relationship with Iron Fist.

……

That night, ABC TV had a show about the finals. The host was Bill Walton, and Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pippen, and Karl Malone were invited as guests, and Bill Laimbeer was also invited.

The show started at 08:30, at seven o'clock, the magician and a few others came to the dressing room.

Pippen was a little restrained and took the initiative to sit in the corner of the dressing room, very quiet.

Including the host Bill Walton, the rest of the guests are superstars, not to mention the magician, a real superstar, but he is just an ordinary All-Star, not up to the level of a superstar.

As for Lambiel, he doesn't make comparisons at all. He is a rich second-generation white man who treats all the superstars in the league as nothing. His family property can buy the teams in the entire league. He, a poor black boy from the south, feels inferior from the bottom of his heart , dare not answer in the past.

"Bill, I'm curious, you haven't shown up much for two years, why are you willing to take this job today?" Karl Malone asked curiously.

Bill Lanbier gave the postman a disdainful look, and said, "Do you think I'm just like you, for a few notification fees?"

"Pfft!"

The magicians laughed, sorry, the postman, I really couldn't hold back.

Pippen didn't dare to laugh, for fear of being beaten by the postman, but he couldn't help it. He bent down and buried his head between his legs, his body trembling non-stop.

The postman's face is three points darker than coal. Damn Lambiel, you deserve to be beaten by an iron fist, but when you think about it, he is actually worse than Lambiel himself, with several broken ribs, and the black face can't help but turn. Black three points.

He asked very dissatisfied: "Rangbier, did I provoke you?"

Lambiel snorted coldly and said, "No."

"Pfft."

The magicians laughed again.

The postman was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. You are so crazy. I didn't provoke you, so you turned on me?We are men of the same trench, with the same enemy.

As the host who invited them to come, of course, he must control the situation and not let everyone really turn their faces. Bill Wharton managed to stop laughing and said, "Okay, Carl, Bill's character is just like this, so please don't say a few words."

At 08:30, the show begins.

Zhou Quan also turned on the TV at this moment, tuned to the ABC channel, and prepared to watch this program.

When I saw Lambir, I was still startled. It is said that this guy has been drunk every day for the past two years. Why did he participate in this show?
"Ladies and gentlemen, well, now our show has begun. The core of tonight's show is the upcoming NBA Finals. We have many topics, such as..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Lambiel and asked with a smile: "Bill, the Pistons have reached the finals again. Will you go back to the Palace of Auburn Hills to watch the finals?"

Bill Lambir was willing to participate in this program, so he was mentally prepared and immediately said: "No."

"Why?" Bill Walton asked.

"There is no reason, if you don't go, you just don't go." Lambiel said bluntly.

But he was cursing the management of the Pistons in his heart. Those damn guys have never invited him to watch the game since he was forced to retire. Does he still have to buy his own ticket to enter?
"Then why did you come to this show?" Bill Wharton asked curiously.

Lambiel was invited by him, but he just tried it and it succeeded, so in fact he didn't know why Ranbir wanted to come.

Lambiel hesitated for a while, as if he was a little ashamed to speak, but he still said: "I want to make a change. I don't want to drink anymore. I hope to return to the basketball world."

"..."

The magician and the others looked at each other.

"Damn it, don't let him come back."

"Are the Pistons going to regroup the Bad Boys? Absolutely not."

"This is troublesome."

"He dares to come back, Iron Fist will not let him go."

At this time, a large number of league players who watched this program complained. At this moment, in their hearts, Zhou Quan became the protector who prevented Lambiel from returning to the NBA.

"Bill, how do you plan to return to basketball?" Bill Walton asked tentatively.

"I... I plan to be a coach," Lambiel said.

"call!"

Almost all NBA players breathed a sigh of relief.

Bill Wharton also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile: "This is a good idea, Bill, I hope you can succeed."

"I think so."

Lambiel spoke very hard, but he was not sure in his heart. What he said just now was a temptation for him. He hoped that some team would give him this opportunity.

"So speaking of the finals, who do you think has a better chance, the Suns or the Pistons?" Bill Walton asked after sweeping away a few people.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said first: "There is no doubt, of course, the Pistons."

"I know he will choose this way. Skyhook has always supported that guy with Iron Fist." Phoenix, Barkley said to Maureen.

"People are alumni, this is called a network of contacts." Maureen said.

"Why?" Bill Walton asked.

"The first is the physical advantage, which is very critical. I doubt whether the Suns can recover in the first two home games after the tiebreaker. If they lose a home game, then this series will be in trouble."

"Physical? ESPN doesn't think that's important. Do you agree with them?"

"Of course not. Physical fitness is very important. This is an advantage that the Pistons cannot ignore. If the Suns don't pay attention to it, their end will be miserable." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.

"The league is too partial to the Pistons. We should give us two more days to rest." Barkley said unhappily.

"Erwin, what about you?"

Bill Walton knew that the Magic had never supported the Pistons. Of course it was when the Pistons and the Bulls played against the Bulls, but he wanted to find something topical.

But the magician's answer disappointed him, and the magician immediately said: "I also think the Pistons have a better chance."

"Why?" he asked in surprise.

Magic Johnson said with a smile: "Karim talked about the advantage of the first piston, and I will say the second, that is the advantage of the first position."

"You think Lightning is inferior to Iron Fist?" Bill Wharton asked in surprise.

Although he is an alumnus of Zhou Quan, this is only a personal relationship. He is doing a show now, so he has to put aside his personal relationship and try to create attention.

Magic Johnson nodded and said: "The Lightning is my old enemy, I know him very well, we have been competing for various honors for many seasons, he is very strong.

However, I think the Iron Fist is stronger, and I can use their numbers in the playoffs to prove my point. "

"Damn it, Erwin has changed his mind?" Barkley was surprised and dissatisfied.

"He is smarter than you, so he won't go all the way to the dark." Maureen complained.

At this time, ABC TV listed the data of Lightning and Zhou Quan in the first three rounds of the series.

闪电首轮17.8分2.3篮板10助攻1.5抢断0.3盖帽4.3失误2.8犯规，投篮命中率47.7%，助攻失误比2.3。

周权首轮32分7.3篮板9.3助攻4.3抢断1盖帽2.3失误3.3犯规，投篮命中率55%，助攻失误比4。

闪电次轮20.8分3.5篮板9助攻1.5抢断0.8盖帽2.7失误1.5犯规，投篮命中率53.2%，助攻失误比3.3。

周权次轮27.1分5篮板10助攻4.57抢断0.57盖帽3.29失误4.71犯规，投篮命中率50.3%，助攻失误比3。

闪电西决15.9分2篮板7助攻1.7抢断0.7盖帽3.6失误2.6犯规，投篮命中率46.6%，助攻失误比1.9。

周权东决31分5.6篮板12助攻4.4抢断1.4盖帽2.8失误4犯规，投篮命中率58.2%，助攻失误比4.2。

After the data appeared on the TV screen, the magician pointed to the data and analyzed: "Three rounds of the series, Iron Fist's scoring ability is better than Lightning's, and not a little bit. The same is true for rebounds. Assists, the difference in the first two rounds is not big , but in the third round of the series, Tekken was significantly better, averaging five more assists per game.

On the defensive end, Lightning's defense is good, averaging nearly two steals per game, but compared to Iron Fist, it is obviously not at the same level.

Passing stability, you can also see that Iron Fist's passing is more stable, only slightly lower than Lightning when facing Jordan in the second round, but the assist-to-turnover ratio of 3 has also reached the level of an excellent point guard.

Based on these data, I think that when Lightning is facing Iron Fist, if he cannot use his speed advantage, he is likely to be suppressed in all directions under the full strength of Iron Fist. "

"Shit, Erwin, are you kneeling and licking Iron Fist in order to let him go to the Lakers?" Barkley said extremely dissatisfied.

"Suppress me in all aspects?"

Kevin Johnson, who was also watching this program, snorted coldly. He was absolutely not convinced by the magician's statement. No one in this league could suppress him in all aspects, even if the magician played by himself, he couldn't do it.

"You mean all-round suppression?" Bill Wharton was really shocked now.

He didn't understand that the magician had belittled the Pistons and Iron Fist many times before, but now he praised Iron Fist so much. Did he take the wrong medicine? Or did he think that if he praised Iron Fist, Iron Fist would go to the Lakers?

Magic Johnson said with a smile: "Actually, none of us have the right to speak. Why don't we let the person who has the most right to speak here answer, and let him compare Iron Fist and Lightning."

"The person with the most say?"

Bill Wharton was startled for a moment, but immediately reacted, and looked at Pippen. This guy was eliminated by Iron Fist himself, and he was indeed the one with the most say.

Pippen said embarrassingly: "Actually, Michael should be the one to judge. After all, I didn't defend the Iron Fist."

"Pfft!"

Both Skyhook and Magician laughed, Pippen, are you trying to die?
Bill Wharton held back his laughter and asked the postman, "Carl, do you want to comment?"

Karl Malone rolled his eyes and said, "Lightning is definitely no worse than Iron Fist. These data have limitations, such as the strength of the opponent."

Pippen opened his mouth, wanting to remind the postman that Michael Jordan was among those facing Iron Fist, but he closed his mouth again when he saw the postman's swollen face, not wanting to be troublesome.

"Ha ha……"

The magician had collapsed on the sofa laughing, and so had the skyhook.

Lambiel said to the postman angrily: "Shut up, boy, who is stronger than Michael Jordan among Lightning's opponents?"

The postman choked, smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking.

Bill Walton smiled and said: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, who will predict the chances of the Suns and Pistons winning the championship?"

Lambiel first said: "Of course it is the Pistons. The Suns tied five in the first round, played six games in the second round, and tied seven in the Western Conference Finals, playing 18 games. The Pistons swept the first round, tied seven in the second round, and played five games in the Eastern Conference Finals." , only played 15 games, and rested for a few more days, the physical advantage is too great.

From the analysis of the lineup, the Pistons' defense is stronger. Three players have been selected to the best defensive lineup, and two of them are in the first team. Do the Suns have it?Not a second team.

Offensively, who can stop that guy?Barkley?I don't think Lightning can stop him. "

Magic Johnson nodded and said: "Of course the defense is stronger than the Pistons. The Eastern Conference Finals made me realize that we all underestimated the Pistons' defense. Although they are not the best defensive team in the regular season, once they are serious, they can Guard any team."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "This requires tactics to cooperate. Coach Chuck Daly is really an admirable head coach. His tactics in the Eastern Conference Finals are great."

Magic Johnson praised: "Use Iron Fist, Joe Dumars, and Rodman's strong personal defensive capabilities to limit the opponent's offense. When you look back, you will immediately use fast to fight slow, use small to fight big, and use fast-paced offense to let the opponent go. The Knicks are unable to establish a defensive system, taking advantage of both offensive and defensive ends, Coach Daly's tactics are indeed too targeted!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said at this time: "I am also optimistic about the Pistons, unless Barkley's performance is more stable, if he can play the 40+20 performance in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals every game, then I will choose the Suns."

"Ha ha……"

The magicians all laughed.

But Lambiel scolded: "40+20 every game, that idiot Barkley wants to eat ass."

"Lambier, you idiot, don't let me see you, or I'll beat you to death!" Buckley jumped up from the sofa angrily.

"Be quiet, Charles, rest quietly. Excited emotions will waste energy, and quietness can make your energy recover faster." Maureen persuaded.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan was also happy when he heard Lambiel scolding Barkley.

He knew that Barkley had beaten Lambiel before, and the two had a feud.

But judging from Lambiel's attitude, this idiot still has feelings for the Pistons.

The magician said that he could suppress Lightning in all aspects. He didn't think too much about this possibility. Lightning should be a little faster than him, and his defense is not bad. If he plays fast break, it won't be as easy as playing against the Knicks. John Starks is really slow.

At this time, Magic Johnson said: "The Suns play against the Pistons. The defense is not as good as the opponent, but they also have advantages. Let's not talk about Barkley. Let's talk about the strongest perimeter of the Pistons.

In fact, we need to know that the Pistons are in the first, second and third positions. With their lineup, it is really difficult to get enough players to play the Suns.

The Assassins started in the Eastern Conference finals, but can he still start against the Suns?Can he protect against lightning or against Thunder God?No, now he can't run anymore, neither can he guard against the speed of lightning, nor can he guard against the height of Lei Gong.

If the assassins don't start and let Joe Dumars return to the second position, who will play the third position of the Pistons?None of them. "

Hearing this, Zhou Quan couldn't help but nodded. His team's lineup, facing the Suns, did have flaws.

As for the Suns' bench lineup, it's really strong. All-star forward Tom Chambers, all-star swingman Danny Ainge, and small forward Ceballos. These three averaged 10+ points per game in the regular season. in the top six.

Fortunately, the Pistons' bench lineup is not much worse. Tre Mills, Polynes, and Mark Aguirre are all available.
