"I remember someone said that Iron Fist's blows are very precise, such as baseball hits, boxing, golf hits, basketball steals, and the block just now. This is true." In the commentary box, the bespectacled man Long Gerlans said.
The bearded John Rowes laughed: "Yes, the strike is accurate. This is the highest level of athletic talent."
Lundgrens smiled and said: "So I suggest that Tekken's next cross-border sport should be tennis. It is also a striking sport and is a popular sport in the world."
The bearded man nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. The four major tennis open tournaments are from January to February, the Australian Open is from January to February, the French Open is from May to June, the Wimbledon is from June to July, and the US Open is from August to September. There are time conflicts between the three Opens and the NBA schedule, but Iron Fist can participate in the US Open."
"If time cooperates, I should be able to participate in Wimbledon as well." The man with glasses added.
"Lundgren, you should suggest Michael Jordan to play Wimbledon. He can't play in the finals anyway. Maybe he can even participate in the French Open in the future." The bearded monster shouted.
"Ha ha……"
The bespectacled man laughed so hard that he fell on the table. Countless Pistons fans at the scene also laughed.
At this point Oliver Miller came off and was replaced by Mark West.
"brush!"
The Lightning used Barkley's pick-and-roll, broke through and hit a jump shot.
42:44, Pistons attack.
Zhou Quan came to the right wing, gave the ball to Joe Dumars, then cut downwards and pursued the defense with lightning, but Dan Malley still guarded Joe Dumars.
At this time, Joe Dumas quickly passed the ball back, and Zhou Quan received the ball and headed towards the penalty area. The Lightning had already fallen behind and could not keep up.
Barkley blocked the left midfielder, and Mark West was under the basket. He suddenly changed direction downwards, passed Barkley, and drove in close to the baseline. He held the ball high in his left hand and jumped toward Mark West.
Mark West took off to block the shot. Zhou Quan curled up in the air, retracted his left hand at the same time, hid the ball in his arms, and then spun around in the air, around Mark West, and moved to the front of the basket. Before his body landed, he held the ball in his right hand and sent it to the basket. With a flick of his fingertips, the basketball flew toward the basket.
"brush!"
The basketball goes hollow into the basket.
"Oh ho!"
The whole audience cheered immediately.
Bill Walton looked at the screen in disbelief and shouted in surprise: "Oh oh oh, dodge in the air, turn 360 degrees to pick the basket, Iron Fist performed an extremely difficult layup, I saw Michael Jordan? Is it the Bulls who are playing the Finals with the Suns now?"
"No, that's Iron Fist, your school friend."
Williams said with a smile: "To be honest, Tekken's layup skills are really good, reaching the top level."
Bill Walton calmed down the expression on his face and said seriously: "However, Iron Fist's physical fitness is still far behind Michael Jordan's. His ability to stay in the air is not as good as Jordan's. These difficult skills are not as elegant as Jordan's."
Williams nodded and said: "Elegance never goes out of style. This is what Michael Jordan is praised for, so even though he has been eliminated, we still mention him from time to time."
In the CCTV commentary box, Sun Zhenping said happily: "At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhou Quan made two of two shots, and also had an assist and a block. I hope his condition can continue to improve."
"At critical moments, you must stand up so that you can reflect your importance and value and be worthy of the trust of your teammates." Zhang Lili said expectantly.
"It's 42:46 now, the Suns are attacking." Sun Zhenping said.
The Lightning advanced cautiously, and after a few series games, Zhou Quan's stealing ability had made him very afraid. He didn't dare to be careless, and his nerves were as tight as a tightrope.
It can be said that Zhou Quan's 12 steals in the G1G2 game were a very important reason why the Suns lost two home games. At least 30% of the reason why the Suns lost was because of those 12 steals.
Zhou Quan has never thought of risking steals. The average number of steals per game in the playoffs has reached 4. This is due to the increase in defensive intensity and his aggressive defense.
Aggressive defense is different from pressing defense, and it is not a risky steal. It pays more attention to strategy and initiative. It uses active pressing actions to force the opponent to make mistakes. So many steals are just the result of this kind of defense.
So facing Lightning's cautious advance, he immediately defended and retreated.
The lightning pushed to the top of the arc, and Barkley asked for the ball at the left three-point line, and he immediately passed it over.
Even for this simple pass, he was very cautious. He first changed hands to control the ball, then used his right elbow to block the ball, and then passed the ball with his left hand. The degree of caution he showed showed his fear of Zhou Quan, which was really to the extreme.
When Bill Walton saw this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Did you see it? This is a deterrent. Iron Fist used incredible stealing ability... Barkley broke through with the ball..."
At this moment, Barkley broke through Sekali again and headed towards the penalty area with the ball.
Zhou Quan moved downward and laterally, making a defensive posture. Barkley saw his movement and made an emergency stop outside the left waist for a jumper.
The moment he took the shot, Zhou Quan accelerated towards the basket to grab the rebound.
"boom!"
The basketball bounced off the basket and was caught by Zhou Quan.
"Barkley missed a pull-up jumper, now the Pistons attack."
After Bill Walton explained, he picked up the previous topic and said: "Iron Fist has established his own deterrence on the defensive end. Even a top point guard like the Lightning is like a novice in front of him. Tie your hands and feet.”
Williams nodded with deep understanding and said: "Whether it is a sudden throw or a pass, we can indeed see now that as long as Iron Fist stands in front, Lightning will not dare to be careless, and in this way, his state must be suppressed.
So far in the finals series, to put it bluntly, Lightning's self-confidence has been shattered in the face of Iron Fist's defense. It's incredible, lightning is even a character that can compete with magicians. "
Bill Walton said proudly: "But Iron Fist is a figure who can be compared with the Magician. I believe there will be such a day."
At the end of the third quarter, 59:66, the Pistons had a 7-point lead.
Bill Walton analyzed: "In this quarter, the Pistons used the strong defense of the main lineup to continue to suppress the Suns' main lineup and gained a good advantage."
Williams nodded and said: "The Pistons have three top defensive players. If it weren't for the weaknesses of Seikali and the third position, the Pistons' defense would be extremely strong, stronger than the Knicks and Bulls.
But even so, it is not comparable to the Suns' defense. From top to bottom of the Suns team, only Dan Marley was selected to the defensive second team in 1991, and guys like Barkley and Kevin Johnson have never been selected to the defensive team. "
Bill Walton added: "Another very important point is that now that the series has progressed, the Suns' physical disadvantage has begun to increase. An extra day of rest before this game will not solve the physical problem.
Now the Pistons are gradually gaining an advantage and are accumulating advantages step by step. If the Suns cannot perform exceptionally well in the final quarter, then the Pistons' victory will be a natural result. "
On the Suns bench, Barkley gasped and his eyes were blank.
He couldn't help but think about the one-for-one deal again. If he was leading the Pistons now, with defensive heroes like Joe Dumars and Rodman, then he should be the leader, right?
He thought again about Iron Fist's recruitment of him. If he had been traded to the Pistons and joined forces with Iron Fist, he would have won the championship by now, right?
Such a mentality has brought him and the Suns nothing but accelerated collapse.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Zhou Quan launched a fierce attack. The first goal was to go in and complete a dunk on Barkley's head. Then the three major defensive players defended with all their strength. He and Joe Dumars each sent a steal. Rodman stole the ball. The next offensive rebound was followed by two defensive counterattacks and a secondary attack. In just 112 seconds, a wave of ten-to-zero offense and defense was launched, destroying the Suns' will in one fell swoop.
59:76, less than two minutes into the final quarter, the Pistons had led by 17 points, thus establishing the victory.
"Defense!"
With such a huge lead, Zhou Quan still did not relax. His stern roar led the Pistons fans in the audience to shout for defense.
"The Suns are finished, finished!"
Seeing this, countless people have only this idea.
The assassin was so excited that he couldn't sit still, dragging one leg and standing up from time to time to cheer for the field.
In the 6th minute of the final quarter, 66:86, the Pistons were already leading by 20 points, and the Suns called their second timeout of the final quarter.
Barkley, who made two mistakes in the final quarter and missed a point on 0-for-3 shooting, sat on the bench, covered his head with a towel, and burst into tears where no one could see him.
At this time, his mind was completely confused, and he thought of what Zhou Quan said to him before the G1 and G2 battles.
"Hey, Flying Pig, you have to cherish it. This may be the only finals in your life."
"Fliggy, I guarantee you will never win a championship in this life."
"Is it just you?"
"Just me."
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, "My finals! Do I still have a chance to reach the finals?"
If Zhou Quan hears the voice in his heart at this time, I am afraid he will make sarcastic remarks. With this mentality, how can you steal the championship from me and Jordan?
"Hurry up, all departments are ready."
At this time, the Auburn Hills Palace is speeding up and making final preparations for celebrations.
In the ABC commentary box, Bill Walton sighed: "They only scored 7 points in half a quarter. The Suns' will has been broken. The finals are over."
"Defense wins championships, it's true." Williams nodded.
After the timeout ended, the Suns did not change their attitude, but they did not give up either. The main players still played. In this way, the Pistons would not hold back, and Zhou Quan and others continued to play the most powerful offense and defense.
In the 10th minute of the final quarter, the point difference had reached 25 points. Someone in the Suns finally couldn't withstand the psychological pressure. After a collision for a rebound, Mark West was hit by Rodman. He cursed and talked with Rodman. Deman got into a fight, and Barkley, who had lost his mind, also went to help.
"If you can't bear it, get out and admit defeat. If you want to fight, I'll wait for you outside."
Zhou Quan rushed over and pushed Mark West away, but ignored him. Instead, he pointed at Barkley and shouted loudly.
"That's too much bullying. What do you want?"
Frustrated, Barkley completely lost his mind and rushed forward to push Zhou Quan.
"stop!"
The referee who officiated the G5 game was Crawford, and David Stern was sitting on the sidelines. It was impossible for him to let a conflict occur on the court, and he immediately rushed forward to separate the two.
On the sidelines, Barkley's wife Maureen was very sad when she saw her husband losing his temper. She covered her face and shed tears.
The referee gave Mark West a technical foul, but did not punish Barkley and Zhou Quan, nor did Rodman.
The game continues until the end without any suspense.
"boom!"
When the final whistle sounded, the cheers at the Palace of Auburn Hills were like an aerial bomb exploding, and a huge shock wave spread to all directions instantly and lasted for a long time.
"Bang bang bang..."
On the ceiling, a dozen large balloons burst, and countless ribbons fell, spreading all over the place.
"We are the champions..." Passionate music sounded at the same time.
"Oh oh oh……"
"We are the champions, we are the championships..."
Zhou Quan, Assassin and others hugged each other excitedly, cheered, enjoyed the joy of winning the championship, and vented their overwhelming excitement.
On the side, a broken-hearted Barkley knelt on the floor with one leg, covering his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face, and he could no longer control his emotions.
On the sidelines, Maureen did the same, wiping tears from time to time and looking at Barkley again.
At this moment, she deeply realized the cruelty of competitive sports. As a loser, her husband would suffer the greatest disappointment.
On the other side, Christina Yeri, Big Mouth Roberts and others were applauding and cheering Zhou Quan with smiles on their faces.
On the sidelines, David Stern stood up and applauded the Pistons.
He had already made up his mind to get Zhou Quan away from the Pistons. With such a low ticket price for the finals, the league would suffer too much loss.
If Zhou Quan is unwilling to leave, he will try every means to force him to leave. He doesn't want to see Jordan fail to even advance to the Eastern Conference Finals again. If anyone disagrees, presumably the bosses across the league will not agree either.
The tickets are too low, and the losses in the finals are huge. Whose money is lost? Of course it is the bosses. Tickets for the playoffs have a 45% share divided among all teams.
As for whether the Pistons are willing to let him go, the possibility of Bill Davidson investing huge sums of money to renew his weekly rights is very small, and the possibility is almost zero.
"Congratulations to the Pistons, they won the championship 4-1 and won the championship for the third time in five years." Lewis Williams said excitedly in the ABC commentary box.
"Congratulations to Iron Fist. You won the championship as a core player in the second year of your career. Your career has been successful and you have embarked on the road to becoming a superstar." Bill Walton smiled excitedly.
In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Lili said very excitedly: "Congratulations to Zhou Quan, you are the NBA champion, and you will definitely be the most valuable player in the finals. You have achieved something that many NBA superstars cannot achieve in their lifetime. You ,hehe……"
Sun Zhenping was equally excited and said: "That's great! That's great! Congratulations to Zhou Quan..."
Both of them looked normal, with tears in their eyes. Their excitement was even greater than that of the national team winning the championship in the Olympics, and they were almost speechless.
The Olympics are not the efforts of one person, but a reflection of the sports strength of the entire country. But Zhou Quan's NBA championship is really the result of personal ability and hard work.
At the same time, the strength of the dream team also made them attach special importance to Zhou Quan's championship, because Zhou Quan had to defeat all members of the dream team to finally win the championship.
For example, Barkley, a generational superstar, a man who plays on top of the three super centers, the scoring champion of the Dream Team, was as popular as Michael Jordan at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, but under Zhou Quan, he could only Being able to taste failure.
"Hey, Charles?"
After hastily ending the celebration with his teammates, Zhou Quan looked at Barkley, walked over, leaned over, patted his shoulder, and said hello.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to mock me? Then come on."
Buckley wiped his eyes and got up. When he saw it was Zhou Quan, he immediately turned his head and said angrily.
"Sir Charles, please congratulate me and at least shake my hand, because this is your etiquette." Zhou Quan extended his right hand and smiled.
"Haha...and mine."
Rodman, who followed, screamed and stretched out his hand.
