"0:4, the SuperSonics played two fast breaks with defensive counterattacks, and the Bulls failed to attack twice." Zhang Lili said.
Xu Jicheng happily analyzed: "Jordan barely participated in the Bulls' two attacks, which led to the result that Zhou Quan did not participate in the team's defense. Director Zhang, do you think this was intentional or unintentional? "
Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "It should be a deliberate tactical arrangement, otherwise the Bulls would not have called a timeout immediately.
The basis of my judgment is that there is not a problem with Phil Jackson's tactics. He generally does not call a timeout, even if he is temporarily behind. So it is certain that there is a problem with the Bulls' tactical arrangements. "
Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "The Bulls should be hoping to get rid of Zhou Quan's defense, right?"
"Definitely is."
After nodding, Zhang Li said with a smile: "In the first four games, Zhou Quan sent a total of 25 steals, averaging six per game. His defense was the key reason why the Bulls lost.
However, I don’t think this is a good way to use Jordan to contain Zhou Quan’s defense, because Jordan’s own offense will also be seriously affected. The core of the triangle offense is Jordan. Without him, what kind of triangle offense would there be?
Pippen is good, but his offense can't carry the triangle offensive system. He doesn't even have the ability to attract double teams, and his ability to hold the ball and attack tough situations is even worse. He is far inferior to Jordan and Zhou Quan.
The Sonics will not use the same method to defend, and the Sonics' offense will not be affected. In contrast, although the Bulls got rid of Zhou Quan's defense, they lost one Jordan in the offense, and the losses far outweighed the gains. . "
At this time, the timeout ends and the Bulls serve from the center line.
This time, BJ held the ball to the top of the arc and no longer ran to the left wing, and Jordan's movement was no longer close to the right sideline.
"Fei Ren, talk trash. Don't you like to talk trash when you are lagging behind? Now you are lagging behind." Zhou Quan joked.
"Get out of here!" Jordan was so angry that his eyes were on fire.
He was being stared at by Zhou Quan and had no chance to catch the ball. How could he be in the mood to talk trash?
At this time, Toni Kukoc came over to set up a pick-and-roll. Jordan took the opportunity to get rid of Zhou Quan, cut the ball outside the three-point line, and then directly shot a three-pointer without adjusting.
He shot this three-pointer with endless anger, and his willpower was extremely firm, which also made his shot extremely decisive and stable.
"brush!"
The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.
"ah!"
Jordan pumped his fist in excitement and roared.
"Do you dare to challenge me one on one? I'll steal ten goals from you in one game." Zhou Quan's trash talk started again.
Jordan opened his mouth. His strong competitiveness made him want to agree, but just as he was about to leave his mouth, he closed it tightly and almost bit his tongue.
"It turns out you don't have the guts to challenge me in a duel, it turns out you are nothing more than that, it turns out you are just a coward." Zhou Quan suddenly realized.
"It's a one-on-one challenge, come on!"
Jordan, who never admits defeat and competes with others to pee further, finally lost control of his emotions and roared angrily, spitting all over Zhou Quan's face.
"ball!"
Zhou Quan shouted, and Gilliam immediately came over from outside the baseline.
"Oh, they're going to fight one another!"
The on-site commentator was just a few meters away and heard the conversation between the two. The commentator's voice immediately filled the entire venue.
"Is Iron Fist really going to duel with the Flyers? Will he suffer a loss? Jordan's offense is stronger."
"You're stupid. Iron Fist's defense is stronger and should be able to prevent Jordan's offense."
"You are stupid. No one can defend Jordan's offense in single defense. Iron Fist has never really been able to defend Jordan in single defense."
"Ordinary players can occasionally guard Jordan alone, but that's because Jordan doesn't value them at all, but it's impossible for Jordan not to value Iron Fist. They will do their best every time they meet. That's why they can't guard each other."
Not only the fans, but also the reporters in the media box behind the baseline were talking a lot.
"Bang bang bang..."
In the backcourt, Zhou Quan advanced with the ball, while Jordan, who was nervous, defended and retreated.
Arriving in the frontcourt and approaching the top of the key, Zhou Quan leaned down and prepared to start the attack.
"In a duel, whoever passes the ball is a coward." Jordan spat out this rubbish at this time.
Zhou Quan's brows jumped, he was the one who initiated the one-on-one challenge, and Jordan now asked him not to pass the ball. In theory, this is really the reason.
Dribbling the ball with his hips and pulling it behind, he deliberately tried to catch the ball with one hand.
If he can catch it, he will take the shot. If he cannot control it, he will continue dribbling.
"predict!"
As luck would have it, I just caught the ball with my right hand.
The next moment, he suddenly stood up from the ground.
"Ganpu?"
Jordan was startled.
No matter how fast he reacted, because he didn't see Zhou Quan join the ball, his defensive reaction was a full beat slower. Before he could jump up, Zhou Quan's ball had already been released, and he defended it with sharp eyes.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Yeah! Iron Fist responded with a three-pointer. It was a pull-up three-pointer, haha! The one-on-one was successful!" On-site commentator Henem Chrisman roared excitedly.
In the TNT commentary box, Larry Bird said in surprise: "This pull-up was too sudden. Iron Fist did not connect the ball at all. Instead, he directly grabbed it with one hand when he pulled the ball up from behind. He will connect the ball." The steps were omitted, and he didn't give Jordan a chance to defend at all."
Magic Johnson said: "It's not that there is no ball ball, and Tekken is not a one-handed shot? He grabs the ball behind his back with one hand, and then combines the ball with the top of his head. We usually combine the ball with the chest and abdomen."
Larry Bird nodded and said: "Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay and see if he took off when he combined the ball."
At this time, the hanging screen was replaying Zhou Quan's shot. After watching it twice, Larry Bird laughed and said: "He took the shot after putting the ball over his head. If he took off and then put the ball together, it would be too disturbing." People are surprised, that way the shot is faster and harder to defend, but now, he still has a link to the ball."
"Michael can do that. His ability to stay in the air is the strongest. He can stay in the air for more time and have more time to adjust his posture, including combining the ball." Magic Johnson said with a smile.
Bulls offense.
Jordan came to the right wing and went directly into the low post to get the ball.
Toni Kukoc ran to the right corner and gave up his position.
Next, Jordan caught the ball, then started to back up once, and immediately followed up with a turnaround and fadeaway jumper. The rhythm was very fast.
Zhou Quan took off and blocked the shot without touching the ball.
"brush!"
The water splashed and hit two points.
"Are they really one-on-one, not passing the ball, not double-teaming? This is the finals!" Zhang Lili said in surprise.
Xu Jicheng said, "It's okay to fight in a duel. I don't think Zhou Quan will suffer a loss in a duel."
Zhang Lijia shook his head and said: "If Zhou Quan is a shooting guard, one-on-one is fine. But he is a point guard, and his first duty is to organize the offense.
Although his personal offensive ability is no longer inferior to his organizational and assisting abilities, it is undoubtedly not cost-effective to cut off one of his arms in a one-on-one duel. "
Xu Jicheng couldn't help but nodded and said: "Indeed, the one-on-one tie tied his hands and feet, and the threat of holding the ball was reduced by half."
"Unless Zhou Quan can steal Jordan's ball head-on, and the number of times can't be less, it's okay to steal the ball back a few more times." Zhang Lili suddenly said.
"What? Oh, that's right. You can steal Jordan six, seven or eight times."
Xu Jicheng was startled. Director Zhang, how can I answer the call if you reverse it like this?
5:7, SuperSonics offense.
Zhou Quan took the ball to the right wing, and Kendall Gill went to the top of the arc. Attacking from the wing is conducive to acceleration, but one-on-one can't pass the ball, which is more conducive to Jordan's defense. He needs a longer breakthrough distance.
First, he broke down from the right side. Jordan retreated from the defense in time, then turned around and broke through to the left. Jordan moved laterally in time again, changed hands to dribble, changed direction and broke through to the right. When Jordan moved laterally again to keep up. , then turned around and made another breakthrough to the left.
This time, Jordan finally couldn't keep up, and Zhou Quan took the ball and headed towards the penalty area.
Continuous acceleration forced Toni Kukoc to cover the defense at the right waist. Zhou Quan slowed down and changed direction, breaking into the paint along the baseline, while Jordan, who was stuck to his left, fell behind.
Wilperdo formed the last barrier under the basket, and Jordan formed a front-to-back attack from behind, but Zhou Quan did not give them a chance to attack.
When he reached one step in front of Perdo, he suddenly stopped, then changed direction upwards, passed between Rodman and Gilliam, moved to the front of the basket, and completely got rid of Verdo on the right side of the basket. , with Jordan behind him.
"boom!"
Just after passing through the gap between Rodman and Gilliam, before Jordan could catch up, he turned around and dunked under the basket. many.
"Good guy, Zhou Quan broke through the attack with the ball this time. He changed directions continuously, and every change of direction was just right. Whether without the ball or with the ball, his ability to move in the gaps between people is so strong." Zhang Lili praised. road.
"Jordan can't keep up, and the three Bulls can't stop him in the penalty area. But is this a one-on-one?" Xu Jicheng said.
"Haha, just fight outside. We've already entered the restricted area. Who cares if you fight alone or not?" Zhang Liji said with a smile.
"Yes." Xu Jicheng smiled.
5:9, Bulls attack.
"Come in and give me back, otherwise I'll look down on you." Here comes Zhou Quan's trash talk.
Jordan snorted coldly, first took a tentative step, then rushed from the left side and hit the left elbow area for a pull-up jumper.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan was half a step behind and jumped from the side to block the shot, which affected Jordan's shot and missed.
Rodman grabbed the rebound and threw it towards Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan caught the ball, and Jordan had already run ahead. He began to push forward slowly, and said: "Flying Man, if you don't dare to rush in, then I will push another one to show you, so that you can learn from me." How did you break through with the ball?"
"you shut up!"
To be honest, Jordan wanted to punch the snarky guy in front of him to death.
"squeak!"
Arriving at the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing, Zhou Quan made a sudden attack from the right without taking any tentative steps.
Jordan was in passive defense and was half a beat slow, but he got to Zhou Quan's left side in time and engaged in a confrontation, trying to slow down Zhou Quan.
This time, with Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball, even Pippen returned to the penalty area, and the paint area was already overcrowded.
"Bang!"
When he reached the left elbow area of the paint area, Toni Kukoc was defending in front. Zhou Quan immediately hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball bounced between Toni Kukoc's feet and bounced into his back.
Then he turned around very flexibly, went around behind Kukoc, fished it out with his left hand, and just pulled the rebounding basketball over.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, he dribbled the ball once. After pulling the ball up, he no longer dribbled. Instead, he stepped between Rodman and Pippen, and then jumped horizontally to avoid Wilpel in front of the basket. More, and finally shot with his left hand.
"brush!"
The ball bounced off the board and went into the basket.
"Haha! It's so exciting. It's a continuous breakthrough with the ball in different directions. It's like entering a deserted place!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"Jordan was thrown away from the beginning. There were three people in the penalty area who couldn't stop Zhou Quan. This ability to break through with the ball is really too strong!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
Zhang Lili said: "But you can't hit this kind of ball too many times. The opponent is prepared. If you hit the ball more, you will make more mistakes. Just now it was unexpected."
Xu Jicheng nodded and said, "Zhou Quan rarely fights like this, so he must have known it well."
"Hey, Fei Ren, did you learn?" Zhou Quan's trash talk started again.
"roll!"
Jordan was furious.
At this time, he caught the ball in the backcourt, then quickly advanced to the left three-point line with the ball, made a one-handed feint, broke through Zhou Quan and entered the penalty area, taking advantage of the fact that the SuperSonics defense was not fully in place, facing the opponent. As soon as Rodman reached the basket, he dunked.
"boom!"
Rodman was knocked directly to the basket, a little embarrassed.
"Boy, have you learned?" Jordan turned back and stared at Zhou Quan and spat.
"What the hell, you can do it!"
Zhou Quan also cursed depressedly, and then went over to pull the big bug away.
7:11, SuperSonics offense.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan missed a jumper over Jordan.
Toni Kukoc grabbed the rebound, and BJ caught the ball and passed it to Jordan.
"squeak!"
The moment BJ pushed the ball out, Zhou Quan rose up behind Jordan, hit Jordan hard with his left elbow, and stole the ball with his right hand.
"Damn it!"
Jordan tried his best to hold Zhou Quan back, but Zhou Quan used his strength first, and his passing angle was intercepted by Zhou Quan.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, Zhou Quan caught the pass from BJ.
"Stealing the ball, beautiful!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
Stealing the ball in the backcourt, Zhou Quan reached the basket in a few steps, took off and dunked. Jordan, who got to the basket first, jumped from the front to block the shot.
"boom!"
Zhou Quan's right arm deviated slightly, and then he hit it downwards with more force. With his strong force, he pressed Jordan's arm and smashed the ball into the basket.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded, the player fouled, and an extra penalty was awarded.
"Oh ho!"
The Seattle Center Arena suddenly burst into excitement.
"This is BJ's mistake. The purpose of the pass was too obvious. Iron Fist had already predicted his pass." Larry Bird said.
"Phil Jackson called Jordan to the side, probably to stop his one-on-one." Magic Johnson.
"In this one-on-one matchup, Tekken scored one more goal and missed one. In terms of goals, Tekken won." Larry Bird said with a smile.
"If BJ doesn't make mistakes, it will probably be a tie." Magic Johnson said.
Sure enough, Phil Jackson stopped Jordan's duel, and Jordan, as a player, had to obey.
"Brush!" Zhou Quan hit an extra penalty.
7:14, SuperSonics lead by 7 points, Bulls attack.
"Fei Ren, do you want to continue?" Zhou Quan asked.
Jordan snorted back, and Zhou Quan smiled and said, "You are old. If you continue, you will lose even more miserably."
Fifteen seconds later, Jordan moved without the ball, used BJ's pick-and-roll, made an emergency jump shot at the top of the arc, and hit a three-pointer.
"Boy, where is your defense? Am I getting old?" Looking back, he spat out trash talk at Zhou Quan.
Some of Zhou Quan muttered that he wanted to use trash talk to stimulate Jordan, and he didn’t really want to play one-on-one with Jordan for the whole game. Now it seems that Jordan’s willpower is indeed strong. The angrier he is, the more decisive he will be. Trash talk is not It works so well!
"SuperSonics and Zhou Quan, don't be careless. This game is so crucial. Jordan made two of two three-pointers. His hand feels hot!"
Seeing Jordan hit another three-pointer, Zhang Lili said worriedly.
"Losing two home games in a row and letting the Bulls get match points at their own home court will really hurt morale, so this game really cannot be lost," Xu Jicheng said.
