"Dennis."
Rodman grabbed the rebound and Zhou Quan's voice sounded outside, so he quickly threw it over.
Zhou Quan was approaching the midline position. When the ball was passed, Di Brown wanted to interfere with him catching the ball, but he made a physical confrontation and directly pushed the opponent to the floor. Then he caught the ball and turned around quickly.
The two forwards and defenders of the green team tried their best to defend from both wings, but they started from behind, and Zhou Quan quickly came down from the middle, so they failed to catch up in the end.
"boom!"
The strong sound of exploding baskets instantly turned the palace of Mount Auburn into a boiling volcano.
When the green team attacked, Dee Brown advanced with the ball, using his speed to bypass Zhou Quan and reach the frontcourt. He was blocked by Joe Dumars who was on defense. He quickly distributed the ball to Ray Jay Lewis who was open.
Lewis does not have three-pointers. He mainly focuses on breakthrough scoring. He is also a dunker. He is 201 centimeters tall, weighs only 88 kilograms, and has good speed.
After receiving the ball, he immediately starts from the right wing and goes straight to the paint area.
In the right waist position of the paint area, Rodman quickly covered up the defense and blocked Ray Jay Lewis in time, who made an emergency jumper one step away.
"boom!"
Short, Rodman turned around and caught the rebound.
Zhou Quan counterattacked again and hit a goal.
His speed is not as fast as Di Brown, but whenever Di Brown gets close to him, he will directly confront him. If he runs in front, he is afraid of being knocked away, so it is difficult for Di Brown to prevent his fast break. The confrontation ability between the two sides is too different.
"Snapped!"
Looking back, DeBlanc broke through with the ball, and when he reached outside the right waist of the paint area, he encountered Rodman's defense. I don't know whether it was a sudden jump shot or a pass to Parish. Anyway, as soon as the ball was released, Zhou Quan caught up from behind and slapped the ball away.
Green team coach Chris Ford was only a second-year coach, similar to a rookie coach. He did not make timely lineup adjustments and still kept Dee Brown on the court. Therefore, after the first quarter, the Green team fell behind by 8 points.
Larry Bird was better than he was today. His left-hand shooting percentage was not high. He shot only 37.5% in the first quarter and made 3 of 8 shots.
But he was good at rebounding. As the second tallest player in the starting lineup, he grabbed 4 rebounds in 10 minutes in a single quarter.
Fortunately, Rodman was better at grabbing 7 rebounds in 11 minutes of the first quarter.
In the end, the Pistons won the game 95:104.
Perhaps he was stimulated by Big Bird's trash talk that the assist leader is not as good as the scorer. Zhou Quan played very actively offensively tonight, breaking through with the ball and counterattacking fast breaks. He made 13 of 18 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. Data of 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers and 2 fouls.
The shooting percentage is as high as 72.2% because he didn't take many jump shots tonight. Fast break scores after defensive counterattacks and layups after breaking in are his main ways of scoring.
There are two other important factors that are responsible for his high personal offensive efficiency tonight. One is that the inside defense of the Green Team's starting lineup is not good. After all, Parish is too old and his movement speed is not good. Larry Bird is old and injured. , lost his strong confrontation ability, and the second is that Di Brown really can't guard against him.
Larry Bird played 41 minutes, 8 of 21 shots, 38.1% shooting, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, a double-double of 21 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, but his offensive efficiency was not enough. , the more points you score, the more you lose.
"Rookie, am I right? The scoring champion is greater than the assists champion."
After the game, although he lost, Big Bird Larry Bird did not look depressed. Instead, he walked up to Zhou Quan and said to him with a smile.
Zhou Quan smiled gently. His smile and breath made Big Bird feel like a spring breeze. He was very happy to get close to him and said:
"Larry, I believe that when I lead my team to defeat the scoring champion team again and again in the future, your concept will change.
By then, I believe that the greatness and glory of the assist king will shine throughout the NBA. "
Larry Bird was startled, good boy, you are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue!
However, the Pistons are a team with a tradition of point guards. Assassin led the team to two consecutive championships in 1989 and 1990 as a mere point guard. He cannot say that Iron Fist will not have the opportunity to lead the team to win the championship in the future.
Moreover, in the G6 game of the 1988 Finals, the Pistons led the Lakers with a three-double-two score. The championship point was in hand and the advantage was in hand. If the assassin had not accidentally injured his ankle, maybe the Pistons would have won the championship that year and defended the title in the following two years. If successful, the Assassin is likely to complete the three-consecutive dynasty, which will be an achievement that he has not yet achieved. Then the Assassin's historical status will definitely be equal to that of the Magician, even if it cannot surpass him, so he will definitely not underestimate it. Point guard.
The next day, at the New York headquarters, the regular season is coming to an end, and Stern is preparing for some regular season honors.
Regular season MVP, this basically determines that he will continue to praise Michael Jordan, and it is necessary for Jordan to win the championship once in a row.
DPOY, Rodman of the Pistons has won it for two consecutive years. Give it to David Robinson this year. This kid is a gentleman, but he has been a super center for three seasons and still has nothing in his hands. How pitiful!
All other honors have been basically arranged, but the honor of Best Rookie is a little troublesome.
He wanted to give Zhou Quan, firstly, the reward he promised last time, and secondly, to continue to eliminate the previous negative influence.
But now Zhou Quan's data is still a little worse. As long as he is closer to Larry Johnson, he will be easier to operate.
On March 21st, the Pistons arrived in Oakland, and the team will challenge the Golden State Warriors away from home on the 22nd.
The Warriors currently have 44 wins and 21 losses, with a winning rate of 67.6%, ranking third in the Western Conference.
Instead, the Pistons have 44 wins and 24 losses, with a winning rate of 64.7%. They are also third in the Eastern Conference, but their winning rate is a little lower than the Warriors.
The team leader was Chris Mullin, a future Hall of Famer.
The main point guard is Tim Hardaway, the No. 14 pick in the first round of 1989, nicknamed Xiao Chong. He is 180 centimeters tall, 5 centimeters shorter than Zhou Quan, and weighs 79 kilograms.
Although it has only been three seasons, he has already earned a reputation as a master of ball control. He is especially good at changing directions and dribbling under the crotch. His unpredictable dribbling skills are superb. He is known as the league's ankle terminator, even Magic Johnson. I admire it.
In his rookie season, he averaged 14.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game. As a sophomore, he averaged 23+9.7 points and almost hit 20+10. So far this season, he has officially joined the 20+10 club, averaging 23.4 points and 10 assists per game. 2 steals and 3.3 turnovers, and was selected as an All-Star substitute for two consecutive seasons.
This season's field goal percentage is 46.1%, which is much higher than Zhou Quan. It is above the average level at the first position, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is 3.03, which is an excellent level.
Although Gary Payton and Zhou Quan have been called the rising stars at the No. 1 position in recent years by the media, that is because the little bug Hardaway is no longer at the level of rising stars, but at the level of All-Stars.
So in fact, his level is to surpass Zhou Quan's current strength, and even surpass Payton by a large margin, and this is also the reason why he said he will defeat Zhou Quan in the All-Stars.
Xiaochong, Chris Mullin, and Richmond who were traded away are called the Run tmc combination. They can be called the originators of run and gun. Their playing style is very gorgeous, attracting fans, and selling well at the box office. If it weren't for this combination, If the overall defense is not good, it will not be broken down.
