Compared with the tension of the Suns' starters, the atmosphere on the visiting team was quite, very relaxed.

Among the five starters, Sekali and Zhou Quan are rookies in the finals, but Mark Aguirre, Joe Dumas, and Rodman are all two-time champions and have rich experience. At this time, they are talking like nothing is wrong. As he spoke, he consciously eased the tension of the two rookies in the finals.

"Appeared."

The staff opened the door and shouted.

"Phew! Let's go."

Zhou Quan let out a long breath, stood up, said hello, and walked towards the door first.

There were more than a dozen players, plus staff and security personnel, and dense footsteps could be heard in the dark corridor.

The corridor is arc-shaped. When approaching the straight path of the players' tunnel, Zhou Quan saw Barkley emerging from the opposite corridor.

"Hey, Feizhu, you have played so many seasons. Congratulations. You have reached the finals for the first time. You have to cherish it. This may be the only finals in your life." Zhou Quan said loudly.

"Haha... the only time? Haha..." Rodman laughed.

As a famous villain in the league, Barkley was so angry that his nose was crooked. With a bad temper, he immediately glared at Zhou Quan and shouted: "Iron Fist, are you looking for trouble?"

"That's right, don't we still have a boxing match left? The postman is about to finish it, or else you stay behind him and I fight two games in a row?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"It's a wrestling, not a boxing match." Buckley quickly corrected.

"Don't you dare to fight me?"

"You don't dare to throw me."

"You are just relying on your weight. Do you know how to wrestle? Otherwise, you lose 20 kilograms, I will wrestle with you, and then we will go to the ring and have another match?"

"Are you crazy? There's no way I'm losing weight, why can't you gain weight?"

Buckley didn't dare to agree, because he knew that Tie Fist was right. He had only learned wrestling for a few days in college. He was not even an amateur. He just wanted to bully Tie Fist based on his tonnage.

At this time, the lights outside went out and the host was calling the visiting team. Zhou Quan was too lazy to pay attention to Barkley and came out.

"Shh!"

The boos were loud. This was the second time the Suns had entered the Finals. The first time was in 1976, 17 years later. So the fans were very excited and wanted to try their best to suppress the visiting team's momentum.

When Zhou Quan made his final appearance, the boos were of course very loud. There was a slight nervousness, and the huge excitement made his skin raise goosebumps.

"Oh oh oh……"

It was the turn of the home court, and the overwhelming cheers brought the first climax of the night.

In the finals, some Hollywood stars came to the scene, as well as many current and retired NBA stars.

Today is Friday in China. Although it is not the weekend, many people still turned on the TV, and many people who have the means still find ways to watch the game.

The national team also did not arrange training, and gathered together to watch the finals in the morning.



"We are resilient..."

After yelling out the Pistons' team training at the top of his lungs, Zhou Quan and five others took the field. At 8:30, the game officially started.

"Snapped!"

Seikali won the jump ball and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan received the ball and waited for his teammates to enter the frontcourt before he advanced to the midline.

"This is the rhythm of positional warfare." Zhang Lili said in the CCTV commentary box.

Kevin Johnson defended and retreated, retreating to the top of the arc and not retreating.

But at this time Zhou Quan suddenly pulled towards the left wing, and Lightning quickly followed.

"Go to the left wing to avoid being flanked by Dan Malli on the right wing. Zhou Quan is very cautious." Zhang Lili added.

"Pick and roll!"

Sun Zhenping suddenly shouted.

Zhou Quan moved to a 50-degree position on the left wing. He passed behind Mark Aguirre, suddenly changed direction downwards, switched to his left hand to control the ball, and went in with the ball.

Kevin Johnson was blocked by Mark Aguirre. Richard immediately changed defense, followed Zhou Quan, stuck to Zhou Quan's right hand, fought against it, and squeezed it outward.

But it was useless. Richard's height was 201 centimeters, ten centimeters taller than Zhou Quan, and his center of gravity was a bit higher, but his weight was only 91 kilograms. His resistance ability was not as good as Zhou Quan's. How could he squeeze him?

Zhou Quan exerted his strength and stood up to his opponent, suddenly reaching a position one step outside the left waist. Seeing that Mark West did not come up to attack, he immediately stopped suddenly, dribbled back and shot a jumper.

Richard caught up and blocked the shot, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, it missed and was a little short. The basketball hit the basket and bounced back. Mark West got it and immediately threw it towards the lightning.

"My hands probably haven't warmed up yet." Sun Zhenping said regretfully.

"It's a trial shot at the opening." Zhang Li said with a smile.

The Suns attacked, and Lightning caught the ball and advanced quickly, but Zhou Quan let go and chased after him. He didn't get past him, so he stuck to the right side, forcing his opponent to control the ball with his left hand.

Lightning held the ball to the basket, stopped suddenly, put his hands together and swayed the ball.

He wanted to shake Zhou Quan with a fake move, and then take a second shot, but just as he swung the ball upward, Zhou Quan's reaction came out.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Quan's nerve reaction speed was so fast and his strike was so precise. With his quick eyes and quick hands, when the lightning flashed upward, he suddenly slapped the ball and knocked it away.

"Bah!"

The basketball hit the floor and bounced up. He once again used his dual advantages of reaction and strike to grab the ball with both hands.

"Oh, damn steal!"

The on-site commentator said sadly.

The third advantage is full-level panoramic vision.

Zhou Quan grabbed the ball with his left hand and blocked the lightning with his right hand to prevent it from interfering with his passing. With just one glance forward, he could clearly see the positions of the players on both sides. His vision allowed him to pass the ball in the shortest possible time. Complete the pass within the time limit.

"Whoosh!"

The ball flew to Joe Dumars, who had turned around and was about to go down from the three-point line on the right wing.

Joe Dumars caught the ball and took one step past Dan Marley and headed downfield.

The two sides switched offense and defense, and everyone rushed towards the Pistons' frontcourt.

Joe Dumars took the ball and rushed to the right wing, but Dan Marley caught up with him. With no chance, he stopped outside the three-point line on the right wing and waited for Zhou Quan to come up.

Zhou Quan took over the basketball after crossing the midline and began to organize the offense.

He made a tactical gesture, and Mark Aguirre on the left wing immediately moved to the top of the key, and then he went to the left wing himself.

"Zhou Quan is still better at attacking from the flank. This way, the distance is farther and it is easier to take advantage of the impact." Zhang Lili said.

After dribbling the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing for a few seconds, Zhou Quan took a step back, attracted Lightning to follow him, and then suddenly started a breakthrough, one step from the right.

The rhythm was very good. When Lightning stepped forward, I saw him starting a breakthrough and I couldn't react.

He broke through the lightning with one step, then reached the three-point line with another step, and went straight to the left elbow area.

Richard in the high post was forced to defend to the left elbow, so Mark Aguirre at the top of the arc was empty, and Zhou Quan immediately passed the ball.

"brush!"

Mark Aguirre took a step forward to catch the ball, shot from the high post, and hit a goal.

"Beautiful, high jump shot, long two-pointer, such a big open space, Iron Fist can see it with his eyes closed." Bill Walton shouted.

Lewis Williams said: "The Suns' defensive rotations are not good and they lack the awareness to quickly cover up defense. If it were the Bulls or the Knicks, Mark Aguirre would not be able to get a wide open space."

Bill Walton laughed: "The Suns' defense is not on the same level as the Bulls and Knicks. The average points conceded per game in the regular season was 106.7 points, while the Bulls and Knicks averaged 98.9 points and 95.4 points respectively."

Looking back, Lightning still pushed forward quickly after receiving the ball, trying to take advantage of his speed.

It's a pity that after he was seriously injured this season, although he is recovering well now, his speed is not as fast as before. In addition, Zhou Quan himself is faster, so he cannot take advantage.

Zhou Quan still stuck to Lightning's right side, and then deliberately made physical contact, using his strong confrontation ability to slow down Lightning's speed.

Lightning is also forced to slow down, otherwise he is likely to make mistakes.

At this time, the other two sides arrived, and the Suns' fast break turned into a positional battle.

Zhou Quan blocked the angle from the top of the arc to the basket. Barkley entered the basket and saw that he had no chance to catch the ball. He immediately ran out and ran to the left wing to ask for the ball.

Two steps outside the left waist, Barkley caught the ball, hit Rodman with his back, squeezed his big butt back, and then turned around and shot.

"boom!"

Rodman blocked Barkley's face and missed. Seikali protected the backcourt rebound and passed it to Zhou Quan, who was about to leave.

From his previous two attacks and defenses, Zhou Quan figured out that the speed of lightning was no faster than him, which made him want to play fast break.

In terms of physical fitness, he has an advantage, an advantage in explosive power, an advantage in impact, an advantage in weight, an advantage in confrontation, and even some height advantages. With these advantages, he can use lightning in any way he wants, including fast breaks.

Before the halfway line, Lightning kept up with Zhou Quan, but as soon as he passed the halfway line, Zhou Quan, who was charging forward with the ball, intentionally changed direction and made physical contact with Lightning.

"Shet!"

Lightning was pushed outwards and staggered, and then he could only watch Zhou Quan walk away.

In a fast break launched from the top of the arc, once the opposing defender cannot keep up, other defenders will be even less able to keep up. Zhou Quan drives to the basket and takes off directly.

"boom!"

The tomahawk dunk exploded the Suns' basket.

“What will the Suns do now?”

In the ABC commentary box, Lewis Williams asked: "I couldn't hit the fast break, but let the Pistons hit the fast break?"

Bill Walton said with a smile: "It's very simple. No matter whether you make a shot or not, as soon as you take the shot, you should immediately return to defense in advance. If Lightning runs in front, you can prevent Iron Fist's fast break."

"It makes sense, haha! But I think he will be knocked away by the iron fist. With the speed of the iron fist, he will not be given a chance to turn around and stand still." Williams laughed.

"brush!"

This time Barkley hit a shot over Rodman's head.

2:4, Pistons attack.

This time, Zhou Quan did not play fast break.

In the series, the rhythm must be controlled and the physical energy must be distributed well. You cannot blindly fast break, otherwise the physical energy will be consumed too quickly.

Coming to the left wing, Mark Aguirre went to the top of the key and handed him the left wing.

Bang bang bang...

Turning sideways, holding the lightning on the back of his left shoulder, protecting the ball with his left elbow, he began to push forward in a crushing manner.

The tonnage difference of eight kilograms made Lightning unable to resist. After being pushed back two steps, he immediately dodged to the side and moved to his right to get the ball. But at this moment, he dribbled the ball from his crotch and pulled the ball to his left hand. With great force, he rushed forward with one step and headed towards the left waist.

Mark West, who was in the low post on the left wing, took a step up to cover the defense, and Sekali immediately cut inside to the basket.

Zhou Quan pushed his left hand to the front left and passed the ball to Seikali.

Sekali caught the ball and threw, and Barkley blocked the shot under the basket. With a bang, the basketball hit the basket and rose up. When Barkley turned around, there was another bang. Rodman had completed the tip-in.

"It's another breakthrough ball. If West doesn't make up for the defense, Iron Fist may get another strong dunk, a flying pig. I'm looking forward to it!" Bill Walton said with a smile.

"Even without a strong dunk, Iron Fist's throw is very good. As long as Barkley comes up to defend, he can also throw it to Rodman. Anyway, let him hit the paint area, and the ball will be difficult to defend. The Suns don't have that. What a top interior defensive specialist," Williams said.

2:6, Suns attack.

The Lightning came to the top of the key, handed the ball to Dan Marley on the right wing, and then went to the left wing himself.

"Similar to the Pistons, the two defenders spread out left and right, not giving Tekken and Joe Dumars a chance to attack. But in fact, with the personal offensive abilities of Dan Marley and Lightning, Tekken and Joe Dumars can defend alone, no need They are not Jordan when it comes to flanking. Currently, the only players who need flanking on the perimeter, apart from Jordan, are Iron Fist." Bill Walton said immediately.

"boom!"

Dan Malley faked a shot and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed.

Rodman and Barkley jumped up to grab the rebound almost at the same time. Neither one grabbed it. The ball was touched by someone's hand. Then Sekali ran over and grabbed the rebound. Mark West was positioned outside. A beat slower.

"The Pistons controlled the rebounding in the backcourt well," Bill Walton said.

"boom!"

Zhou Quan held the ball and broke through on the left wing, and then stopped for a jumper. Lightning had already passed his head, but the ball missed by a little and bounced off the basket.

"Iron Fist made 1 of 3 shots and felt average tonight." Bill Walton said.

Mark West grabbed a rebound over Sekali's head and the Suns were on offense.

"Don't underestimate Mark West. He can play as the main center and is quite capable. He has no offense and average defense, but he is good at rebounding. In 20 minutes per game, he can grab 5.5 rebounds. Give him Forty minutes, I can get double figures in rebounds,” Lewis Williams laughed.

The Lightning came to the top of the key with the ball, and Richard, the left-wing small forward, came over to do a pick-and-roll. He bypassed Richard and Mark Aguirre and broke through to the left elbow.

Mark Aguirre switched defense, Zhou Quan's eyes were fixed on the lightning, and at the same time, he immediately moved laterally to the free throw line below, making a defensive gesture.

Neither the Lightning nor Richard shoot three-pointers. The Suns like to shoot three-pointers, but only three of them, Barkley, Dan Mulley, and Danny Ainge, don't shoot much. Richard doesn't shoot much. There are no three-pointers, so his defense is very bold.

Richard, who didn't have a three-pointer, immediately ran down when he saw this, waiting for the lightning pass.

Lightning just passed by Mark Aguirre and found Zhou Quan blocking the front. At this time, he saw Richard running towards the basket, so he pushed with his hand, intending to pass the ball to the ground and pass the ball from Zhou Quan's feet. Pass it in.

"Snapped!"

At this time, the dual comprehensive advantages of nerve reaction speed and precise striking were perfectly demonstrated. Zhou Quan leaned over and directly pressed the ball to the floor.

"..."

Lightning's eyes widened. Can this be broken?

"Oh, the lightning passed directly to Zhou Quan. This is the second time Zhou Quan has intercepted the lightning." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Zhou Quan grabbed the ball from the floor with one hand with his left hand. Before he could stand up, his full panoramic view allowed him to see that Mark Aguirre had turned around from behind Lightning, so he shook his hand and passed the ball. past.

Lightning was already one step slower after seeing it, and by the time he turned around to catch up, he was already two steps slower.

However, Mark Aguirre was still old. When he reached the right elbow area with the ball, Lightning had already chased him to the left. However, with his height and tonnage advantages, he was not afraid. He put his left elbow against Lightning and made a three-step layup. One ball.

2:8, Suns attack.

Rookie head coach Paul Westphal was a little anxious. He felt that the Lightning was a little passive when facing Zhou Quan's defense, so he shouted to the Lightning: "Kevin, move the ball, don't hit hard, do you hear me?"

Kevin Johnson is a little depressed. I haven't taken a shot yet. Where can I get a strong hit? Are you more nervous than me?

But he still followed the coach's instructions and gave the ball to Barkley on the left wing as soon as he reached the frontcourt.

At this time, Mark West entered the basket. When he saw that there was no chance to catch the ball, he immediately pulled out to provide a pick-and-roll for Barkley. Barkley took the opportunity to break through, bypass Seikali, and go straight to the basket.

There was no one under the basket. Zhou Quan quickly came down from the high position to cover. At this time, Barkley took off and dunked. He also took off from the front of the basket to block the shot.

"boom!"

"Beep!"

The basket roared and the referee's whistle also sounded.

"Oh, two plus one, the iron fist player fouled, Barkley is indeed strong enough!" Bill Walton exclaimed.

"Iron Fist, you are trying to block me. Do you know what my nickname is?" Barkley proudly spat trash talk at Zhou Quan.

"I know, Pig." Zhou Quan said honestly.

Buckley tilted his nose and said: "It's a flying pig, a flying pig in the sky."

"No matter how high you fly, it's still a piece of cake." Zhou Quan said disdainfully.

"You dare to say that I'm a piece of cake?" Buckley was so angry that his nose became crooked again.

"Yes! A dish that anyone can eat. Jordan can eat you in the east. But if you go to the west, you will be eaten by me now." Zhou Quan nodded.

"..."

Buckley was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and his thinking was a little messy.
