Zhou Quan took the basketball and advanced to the frontcourt. Payton followed up and implemented a candy-like defense. He then handed the ball to Joe Dumars.
Although the team gave him the ball, he is not a brainless person. He is not strong enough and his qualifications are too low. If he clings to the ball, he will only become a ball tyrant and let the team down. .
So many times, he will hand over the ball to Joe Dumars and not dominate.
Joe Dumars is the leader of the team that he personally acknowledges. He is not just a shooting guard. He can also play point guard. He has good organizational skills. As the MVP of the 1989 Finals, he is still at his peak. This season The average data per game is 20 points, 4 assists and 5 assists. The ball is in his hands and there will be no problems.
"boom!"
At this time, Joe Dumars missed the shot.
Although Rodman played as a small forward, he actually stayed in the paint area on the offensive end. At this time, he huddled with Rainman and looked up to observe the ball.
"It's long! It hit the basket and bounced off the board."
Rodman made a timely prediction and immediately moved to the front left side of the basket, blocking the opponent's center Benjamin.
At this time, Rainman was still standing stupidly under the basket.
"mine."
After the basketball hit the basket and hit the board, it bounced one step away from the front left side of the basket. Rodman and Benjamin jumped up almost at the same time.
His bounce height is top-notch, but his bounce speed is even more powerful, definitely the best in the league. Even Rain Man's historic bounce can't be faster than him.
The most terrifying thing is that his continuous take-off ability is the most powerful. It is said that his continuous take-off height can reach 90 centimeters. This is the biggest reason why he grabbed so many rebounds.
"Snapped!"
With a faster bounce, he grabbed the offensive rebound over Benjamin's head.
"here."
Zhou Quan was already behind Rodman. Upon hearing this, the latter quickly turned around and handed the ball to the former.
He got the ball, first pulled it to the left wing, attracting Payton to follow him, then suddenly turned around and entered the paint area again.
At this time, Rodman was very smart and moved sideways to block Payton who was about to follow.
"brush!"
There was no defender within one step of Zhou Quan, so he decisively made a jumper one step inside the left waist of the paint area and easily hit the ball.
2:5, SuperSonics offense.
Payton was a little annoyed after suffering a loss at the hands of Zhou Quan. His own shot was blocked and he failed to guard the opponent's shot.
The confrontation with Iron Fist was what he was looking forward to.
Because after defeating Laimbeer and The Postman, Tekken is now bigger than him, much bigger, even bigger than the average star, and he is also a potential rookie point guard. If he can defeat Tekken in a head-to-head battle, he will be a good opponent. It was a good thing for him and helped to enhance his reputation.
To put it simply, he wants to steal the show with an iron fist.
But now he was at a disadvantage, which made him feel aggrieved.
When he feels aggrieved, he loses control of his trash talk.
When advancing from the backcourt, he spat at Zhou Quan who was retreating and guarding: "Rookie, now I'm going to get serious, I'm going to blow your shit."
Zhou Quan had a slight smile on his face, and his gentle temperament made people very comfortable. This temperament was one of the important reasons why he quickly captured Catherine's heart and made her fall in love with him at first sight.
However, under his gentle smile, what he said was unpleasant: "Gary, you have such a bad mouth, you must have eaten two or three kilograms, right?"
"What to eat?"
Not understanding, Payton asked casually.
"Poop."
Zhou Quan replied seriously.
"..."
Payton was so angry that he almost vomited blood. No, he almost vomited. His stomach juice was rising and had reached his throat.
At this moment, Zhou Quan quickly took half a step forward, reached out and poked the ball away, then squeezed Payton away, got the ball, and immediately went to the basket.
"ah!"
The angry Payton chased after him with all his teeth and claws.
"boom!"
From the free throw line into the penalty area, Zhou Quan flew up with all his strength and made a tomahawk dunk, which exploded the SuperSonics basket.
"Oh ho!"
The Palace of Auburn Hills suddenly burst into excitement.
"Beautiful! The fast-break dunk after the steal, another one-stop self-service from Iron Fist." Bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.
Longgren Lance, a man with glasses, added: "It was obvious that the two were trash-talking each other, but looking at the situation, Gary Payton was stunned for a moment, and Iron Fist probably had the upper hand."
"Gary, I want to give you a nickname. Do you want to hear it?" Zhou Quan asked.
"I don't want to hear it."
Payton knew that Iron Fist would not have a nice nickname for him, and he said angrily.
"I knew you wanted to hear it."
Zhou Quan ignored Payton's answer and said to himself: "Shit Bucket, what do you think? You don't have to thank me. I know you like this nickname. It belongs to you."
Payton was so angry that he immediately came up and hit Zhou Quan's forehead with his forehead, scolding: "Boy, what do you want?"
"Oh, is there a conflict? How dare Payton provoke Iron Fist? Is he crazy? He will be beaten to death." Rock Howard exclaimed in the ESPN commentary box.
Seeing Payton provoking Zhou Quan, Rodman and the others instantly remembered Iron Fist's reprimand after breaking the postman's ribs. They didn't dare to delay, and immediately swarmed up and stood behind Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan pushed his hands forward, and Payton was immediately pushed away two steps. He stepped forward and put his left hand on Payton's chest, and nodded his head with his right hand, and said with a smile:
"Calm down, Gary, this is the Palace of Auburn Hills, and anyone, and I mean anyone, including the Postman or Jordan, who tries to provoke us in a way other than basketball, will be punished, very severely. Never lend leniently.
So, are you going to continue to provoke me now? "
"snort!"
Looking at the ferocity hidden under Zhou Quan's angelic smile, Gary Payton's courage quickly melted away, and he quickly calmed down. He snorted angrily, and reason told him that listening to Iron Fist would be good for him, so he immediately took a step back and took the initiative to leave. contact.
"That's good."
Zhou Quan immediately praised him and said sincerely: "Remember, when you are not as good as your opponent, don't provoke him easily, and don't give your opponent a chance to get mad at you. You will humiliate yourself."
After being taught a lesson by the rookie, Payton was so angry that his face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head and walked away.
Next, he plans to work hard and use basketball to let Iron Fist know that the competition on the basketball court is basketball, not trash talk, and not fists.
Unfortunately, he is only in his second year now. Like Zhou Quan, he is not too mature and has been psychologically affected, so his performance is not very good.
However, the SuperSonics were stronger after all, had a much better inside lineup, and had a higher quality inside offense, so the game was ultimately won by the Sonics.
The Pistons lost because of their lack of offensive ability, both on the outside and inside.
With 3 wins and 8 losses, they were surpassed by the Pacers who won tonight, ranking 12th in the Eastern Conference.
Zhou Quan won the individual duel, but lost the game. He was also a little depressed, and the smile on his face faded a lot.
He played 42 minutes tonight, making 5 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 14 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.
Among 10 assists, he sent two surgical passes.
It's not that there were only those two opportunities in the whole game. He saw more opportunities like that, but his nervous reaction couldn't keep up and his physical fitness couldn't keep up, so most of the opportunities were wasted.
This is also his first time with double figures in assists and his first double-double, which can be regarded as creating two small records in his career.
As his opponent, Payton played 35 minutes, made 3 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls.
"We still won, rookie. Our fight will continue, and you will still lose to us." During the game, Payton challenged him with his chin high.
Zhou Quan smiled gently and said: "Goodbye, strong talker."
The veins on Peyton's forehead jumped. It's okay. I'm the winner. I'm not angry. Just don't call me a shit bucket.
Watching Payton grit his teeth and turn away, the smile on Zhou Quan's face faded a little.
He actually attaches great importance to winning and losing, and is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. Unfortunately, the winning or losing of the team is beyond his control. He is better than the five-time scoring champion Michael Jordan, who struggled for seven seasons to win. To a championship?
But with personal strength, Payton has no way to beat him now, and he believes that he will not have another chance in the future, because Payton will improve, and so will he.
On the way back to the locker room, he opened the system. The rewards had been distributed, and his prediction had been raised to level 74.
He feels that if his prediction can be improved to full level in the future, he will be able to have full level vision. If his body can keep up, he will not miss any open opportunities. 20 assists in a single game? Then he should be able to reach the finals with a bunch of garbage.
