After Zhou Quan ran two meters into the three-point line on the left wing, he was only one meter away from the paint area, which had forced the Suns' defense to shift to the left wing. At this time, the Suns could only double-team him.
At this time, he was blind and immediately saw the vacancy of his teammates.
Suns forward Tim Perry at the free throw line came down to double-team. Ulrich, who had no three-pointers, immediately took the opportunity to cut to the basket. At the same time, Joe Dumars at the right three-point line immediately moved towards the top of the arc.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Quan pushed with one hand, and the ball flew to the top of the arc and into Joe Dumars' hands.
“Iron Fist’s passing is really comfortable!”
Joe Dumars was in great spirits when he caught the ball, just like when someone was eating, someone brought the food directly to his mouth. Zhou Quan was the one feeding him. He didn't need to make any adjustments at all and just took off and shot.
The offensive pace after passing the ball of this quality is very fast, making it impossible for the chasing defender to defend effectively.
By the time Jeff Hornacek caught up from the side, the ball had already flown to the basket. The entire defensive action was two beats slow, and he had no chance to jump to block the shot.
"brush!"
The next moment, the water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"It's a beautiful message!"
The on-site commentator Fernando also had to praise him.
Partner Rudy said: "It was Tie Fist's breakthrough with the ball that caused our defense to be compressed, and Ulrich's cut from the top of the arc further compressed our defense, so Joe Dumars got the ball at the top of the arc. With an open opportunity, Tie Fist’s pass and Joe Dumars’ attack in the end were a matter of course.”
On the court, the Suns are attacking.
After Kevin Johnson, who was crushed on the defensive end, received the ball, he quickly changed direction and wanted to break through Zhou Quan. He had to use his lightning speed to beat Zhou Quan, who was slower than him.
He made a drastic change of direction. After receiving the ball in the middle, when Zhou Quan was blocking the front, he suddenly pulled to the right. Using the cover of his teammates, he successfully got rid of Zhou Quan and accelerated his breakthrough from the right wing.
Zhou Quan immediately turned around and chased from the center. After crossing the center line, he caught up with Kevin Johnson. By this time, Joe Dumars had already changed defense and caught up with Kevin Johnson.
Kevin Johnson had no intention of slowing down. When he reached the three-point line on the right wing with the ball, he speeded up again and headed towards the basket.
Zhou Quan retreated from the top of the arc to defend the basket, and Joe Dumars chased behind him. The two formed a pincer attack on the lightning that rushed towards the basket.
But at this moment, Kevin Johnson suddenly turned around and passed back. The ball flew from Joe Dumars behind to the right three-point line, where Jeff Hornacek, who had just arrived, had already stopped.
"Snapped!"
Catch the ball and take the shot.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Oh ho!"
The Suns' home court instantly burst into cheers.
The on-site commentator Fernando shouted excitedly: "Offense in the same way, use the ball to break through and compress the opponent's defense, and then create open opportunities for the outside."
Rudy laughed and said: "The difference is that Kevin Johnson's breakthrough is a lightning-fast surge, while Iron Fist's breakthrough is a tank-like crushing."
3:3, Pistons attack.
Zhou Quan continued to make crushing breakthroughs on the left wing, compressing the opponent's defense.
Joe Dumars started from the right wing. At the top of the arc, Ulrich made a pick-and-roll and blocked Jeff Hornacek. Then he took the opportunity to run to the left wing and got an open space. At this time, Zhou Quan timely returned the ball. Pass, he catches the ball and jumps.
"brush!"
The water splashed and the three-pointer hit again.
"ah!"
After hitting consecutive open three-pointers at the beginning, Joe Dumars waved his fist very excitedly, and then ran down to high-five Zhou Quan to celebrate.
The Suns attack.
Kevin Johnson also used the same old method, first finding a way to get rid of Zhou Quan, and then using lightning speed to prevent the Pistons from establishing a defense line.
But this time, the Pistons kept up with his rhythm. When he reached the three-point line on the right wing with the ball, half of the Pistons' players came back in time. He could only stabilize the rhythm first and wait for his teammates to get into position.
"Now for the positional battle! Tom..."
shouted the commentator Fernando.
At this time, Tom Chambers came to Zhou Quan from behind, made a pick-and-roll, and then quickly got rid of Zhou Quan with the ball and entered the wing.
Zhou Quan didn't pursue him, so he was slower. If he bypassed Chambers, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Lightning, so it would be better not to pursue him.
Switching defense, Rodman chased after him. Although he couldn't catch up with the Lightning in terms of speed, he still had a chance by maintaining defensive pressure from behind and preventing the Lightning from having to stop and take off suddenly.
The Lightning entered the paint area with the ball and met the defense of strong defensive player John Salley. This was the last hurdle, but it was not easy to break through this hurdle.
He suddenly changed direction upwards, jumped immediately after avoiding John Salley, shot while drifting, and the ball flew towards the basket.
"Drift shot!"
Fernando shouted excitedly.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, the ball missed.
"mine."
Rodman rushed in from behind, predicted the blocking position in time, and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Suns coach Simmons shouted at Hornacek who was nearest: "Jeff..."
After Hornacek came over, he quickly said: "Iron Fist's finishing ability is average. You tell everyone, don't shrink too much, don't give them openings, just let Iron Fist take action. His offensive ability will never kill us."
"OK."
Hornacek nodded quickly.
The Pistons attacked, and when Zhou Quan ran in from the wing, he found that the Suns no longer double-teamed him, and the outside line did not shrink towards the paint area. Even when he was only one step closer to the paint area, no one came to double-team him.
"Let me vote?"
"I won't vote!"
He immediately understands his opponent's defensive tactics and wants to do the opposite.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger. What is your level of finishing ability, and how high your shooting percentage can be in front of Kevin Johnson. If you let him shoot outside the paint area, then go straight in.
"Bang!"
He suddenly used force to knock away Kevin Johnson, and while dribbling, he stepped into the paint from the right waist.
This time, Andrew Long was forced to take one step out from the basket and blocked him.
At the same time, Suns power forward Tom Chambers also grabbed him from the right side of the basket, completely blocking his way to the basket.
At this moment, Zhou Quan's full spatial imagination allowed him to see that John Salley behind Andrew Long and Tom Chambers had raised his hands to his chest, preparing to catch the ball.
He really saw it, as if through perspective.
Although the two people in front of him had completely blocked John Salley behind him, from a small gap, he captured an elbow movement of John Salley and some visual clips of his head and feet. Thus, with the full level Spatial imagination instantly established a visual model of John Salley's whole body in his brain.
