"After Zhou Quan came on the court, he made consecutive three-pointers and made 2 of 3 shots. He already scored 20 points." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"9 out of 12 shots, starting to explode." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
Next, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Mosaic replaced Dameng and Glider. Marion Eli and Rekasna also came up, restoring the main lineup.
On the other side, the SuperSonics also fielded Matt Geiger and other main players.
As soon as Dameng came on the court, he and Barkley attacked with all their strength. The SuperSonics still couldn't stop it. They fought three times in two minutes. In addition, Zhou Quan missed two consecutive shots. The score was chased to 33:40. The SuperSonics called the first call of the day. A pause.
"9 of 14 shots, 64.3% hit rate, still very high." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"I think if the game continues like this, Dameng and Barkley's physical fitness may collapse first. Their substitute lineup is completely useless and no one can stand up." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "There is a 15-minute break in the midfield, so they should be able to hold on in the third quarter. If they get back the score in the first three quarters, there will be a little chance in the last quarter. If they can't get back in the first three quarters, there will be little chance in the last quarter." Smaller.
But I think even if they can come back in the first three quarters, their physical fitness will decline in the final quarter, and the chance will not be great. Zhou Quan's performance in the final quarter has always been very stable and he can stand up at critical moments. "
Xu Jicheng said: "Now that we have played more than six minutes in the second quarter, Zhou Quan still had 3 steals and 1 block in the first quarter. In the second quarter, he basically can't see the ball in front of him."
Zhang Liji smiled and said: "Yes, that is, if the ball does not pass through his defense, pull him close to the sideline and use this person to contain his defense. This person rarely participates in the offense."
At this time, the timeout ends and the SuperSonics serve from the frontcourt.
Zhou Quan took the ball, pulled it to the top of the arc, and made a tactical gesture.
Missing two goals in a row allowed him to calm down a little.
Mosaic restrained his defense by stretching, which has made him passive on the defensive end, and his defensive energy cannot explode. Therefore, on the offensive end, he must play more efficiently, otherwise the Big Three will not give him a chance. .
In the first two shots, he shot against the defender because he looked down upon Recas's defensive strength.
But the facts tell him that those who can enter the NBA, even if they are marginal, are capable. Maybe they just don't get enough opportunities.
So in this attack, he played very patiently.
First, he broke through from the right side, and then pulled back. Although Rekasna was a little slower, he could barely keep up with the rhythm. He broke through again, and then pulled back. This time, the defender was shaken by him and sat down. on the floor.
"brush!"
He took a three-point shot from an open space at the top of the arc and hit it.
"Oh ho!"
The moment the ball scored, the whole stadium burst into cheers.
"Beautiful! 33:43, the score difference has reached double digits again." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"Zhou Quan played this ball much more patiently than the previous two goals. He made continuous fake breakthroughs and knocked down his opponent before taking action. This is the most reasonable way of playing." Zhang Li said with a smile.
After the second quarter, Mosaic was still 8 points behind at 47:55.
The assassin smiled and said: "The three giants still went all out in the second quarter, but the Glider was not very efficient under Hawkins' defense. They made 1 of 3 shots and only had 6 points in the half. They did not perform at a giant level.
Under Rodman's defense, Barkley's performance was average. He made 2 of 4 shots in the second quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, 6 points in the second quarter, and 10 points and 7 rebounds in the half. He did not perform at a giant level.
Only Dameng performed at a giant level. He suppressed the Sonics' low-post offense on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he scored 10 points in a single quarter and 17 points and 6 rebounds in the half. He alone shouldered the honor of the Big Three. "
Laimbeer said: "The Big Three jointly contributed 33 points and 13 rebounds in the half."
The assassin laughed: "Tekken made 12 of 19 shots, 63% from the field, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 32 points in the half, and 18 points in the second quarter.
He withstood the firepower of the three giants by himself. He didn't shoot a single three-pointer in the first quarter and seven three-pointers in the second quarter. Haha, interesting. "
Ranbir said helplessly: "This kid will definitely score 50 points today, and maybe he can break 60 points."
At this point, he said in a warning tone: "But Tekken felt so good today and was only ahead by 8 points, which shows that the three giants withstood his attack. The outcome of the second half depends on the performance of the three giants."
The assassin said disdainfully: "It's just a fake Big Three. The only real giant is Olajuwon, and Mosaic is just a lineup of fake giants.
Barkley's current shooting percentage is less than 50%. At least three of the Sonics' main players are more efficient than him. With his rebounding contribution, he can be considered half a giant at most.
The inefficient glider held back and offset Barkley's half, so only Dameng was left as a giant. The three of them combined were not as good as the two giants of the Supersonics.
I am not talking nonsense, but I have factual basis. If you ask me what basis I have, then I will tell you that the game before the All-Star Game in the regular season was when Iron Fist scored 50 points at halftime, and the Big Three surrendered at halftime. game.
Glider was injured in that game and was out for two months, but the result was that the Mosaic team still finished second in the Western Conference. This also proved the importance of Glider. He was really dispensable to Mosaic. "
"Haha..." Ranbir burst out laughing.
The assassin smiled seriously and said: "Actually, I am really good to the Big Three. You see, I am trying to clear your name. You are really not in a group."
"Ha ha……"
Ranbir laughed so much that he slipped under the table.
Fifteen minutes later, the third quarter started with Mosaic offense.
"boom!"
Dameng caught the ball in the low post on the left wing, stunned Gilliam with his dreamy pace, and stormed to the basket for a dunk.
"Barkley opened up so that Rodman could not help defend the basket in time. This is the same method as opening up from the outside to contain Zhou Quan's defense. It creates singles opportunities for Dream. Mosaic's offensive tactics are still feasible. "Zhang Lili analyzed.
Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "However, Zhou Quan still sent 4 steals and 1 block in the first half."
49:55, SuperSonics offense.
Zhou Quan came to the top of the arc, passed the ball first and then caught it back. Then he faced the defender Rekasna and assumed a three-threat posture.
"Zhou Quan is very cautious. He doesn't want to be careless. He will go all out when facing a role player." Xu Jicheng said.
"squeak!"
The right foot steps forward very quickly and breaks through to the right.
Rekasna quickly turned around and retreated, but he had some energy left, because in the second quarter Zhou Quan made many fake shots and made as many as seven three-pointers. He was afraid that Zhou Quan would do the same this time.
But this time Zhou Quan really broke in and reached the free throw line in two steps. At this time, Barkley pounced from below. He stopped suddenly and used the most difficult throw to block.
"brush!"
The water splashed and hit two points.
"34:35, I'm still not as good as your three giants." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Pfft!"
Rodman burst into laughter instantly.
The fat on Buckley's face trembled instantly, and he stared at Zhou Quan with murderous eyes.
Da Meng also had dagger-like eyes, swiping and swiping, wanting to poke a few holes in Zhou Quan's body.
Next, Dameng went crazy, and Barkley also went crazy, shooting wildly.
On the SuperSonics side, Zhou Quan still dominates everything.
After the third quarter, 74:80, Mosaic regained two points and was only 6 points behind.
The Smiling Assassin commented with a smile: "Dameng made 4 of 8 shots and 2 of 4 free throws in the third quarter. He scored 10 points in a single quarter and 27 points in three quarters. His shooting percentage exceeded 50%. He played a giant-level performance. .
In the third quarter, Barkley was defended by Rodman and only made 2 of 6 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points in the third quarter and shot only 47%. He was barely a third of a giant. "
"Haha!" Ranbir laughed strangely.
The assassin continued: "The Glider made 1 of 3 shots in the third quarter, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points in the three quarters.
The three of them combined for 52 points, 23 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls, averaging 17.3 points, which is actually pretty good, All-Star level.
In addition, Mario Elie is good. Schrempf did not guard him and scored 11 points in the three quarters, which was better than the performance of the glider. I think he is the third giant. "
Laimbeer continued: "The Iron Fist guy had 42 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 2 fouls in three quarters. His performance was not as good as the Big Three, by ten points."
"Ha ha……"
The assassin collapsed in the commentary box with laughter, and many Mosaic fans were also angry and collapsed in front of the TV.
On the bench, Dameng and Barkley changed jerseys and breathed with their mouths open, but they were still out of breath. Until the beginning of the final quarter, their breaths had not completely calmed down, which showed how much physical energy they had consumed.
However, Tomjanovich still replaced them on the field, not daring to let them rest.
Zhang Lili took a closer look at the Big Three on the field and said: "The glider is okay. Dameng and Barkley can last at most half a quarter. If they are more conservative in the first half of the quarter and take fewer shots, Zhou Quan will definitely exert his strength." Kill them in one wave, I believe he has the ability today.
Although Zhou Quan today is not in super form in the Mosaic game before the All-Star Game, where he scored 50 points at halftime, it was the game that we did not broadcast, but it is not much different. "
"Zhou Quan scored 42 points in three quarters, with a shooting percentage of over 60%. It was exactly the combined score of Barkley and Dameng. The efficiency was even higher. How could they dare to stop?" Xu Jicheng laughed.
"Haha..." The two laughed.
After the Big Three came on the court, they still tried their best to chase points and did not dare to relax. They were very aware of Zhou Quan's scoring ability. If they dared to relax in any way, Zhou Quan would definitely widen the point difference immediately.
Just like this for half a quarter, Mosaic scored 12 points, and the Big Three jointly scored 10 of them. The efficiency was not high enough. Dameng and Barkley each scored 5 points. Dameng also sent a big shot, but the glider 2 Made 0 shots and didn't score in half a quarter.
Fortunately, the Sonics played mediocrely. They were blocked once and lost a backcourt rebound.
Among them, Zhou Quan made 2 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in the first half of the quarter. He scored 6 points and 2 assists. He has scored 48 points and 11 assists.
At 86:90, Mosaic was still 4 points behind, and finally saw the dawn of victory.
SuperSonics had the ball and called a timeout.
"Iron Fist, how is your physical fitness?" George Karl asked nervously.
"No problem." Zhou Quan's usual smile appeared on his face.
"That's good." George Karl breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, everyone is dependent. In the past, when he played team basketball, he shot the ball evenly. But after Zhou Quan came to the SuperSonics, everything changed. From team basketball to a core style of play, from one extreme to another. At one extreme, now he has become heavily dependent on Zhou Quan. Without Zhou Quan in his hands, he can't do anything.
He has realized the benefits of the big-core style of play, that is, with Zhou Quan as the big-core on the court, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he just waits to win the championship and win the best coach.
On the bench next to him, Dameng's head was covered with a white cloth. The white cloth was blown up from time to time, making it look like there was a struggling beast inside, but in fact it was him panting violently.
"Hakim, are you okay?" Tomjanovich asked worriedly.
"I, oh, I'm still, oh, oh, I'm okay."
In just one sentence, the dream was interrupted twice and divided into three sections.
Tomjanovich thought for a moment and said, "I can give you a minute's rest at most."
"O, OK."
Dameng didn't refuse. He was really tired. He only rested for three minutes in three and a half quarters. He really needed some breathing time now.
"Charles?"
Tomjanovich looked at Buckley, who was also breathing heavily.
Barkley has already scored 20 points, and his performance is actually quite good. His physical exertion is also very high, but it is less than Dameng.
His investment in the defensive end is far less than that of Dameng. Dameng is fully invested in both offense and defense. He attacks the strong and defends the weak.
He shook his head, shook off a lot of sweat beads, and gasped: "Coach, I can play, no, no problem."
The timeout ends and the Sonics attack.
Zhou Quan saw that Dameng was not coming up, so he took the ball from the top of the arc and rushed inside. With a small change of direction, Jaren Jackson, who was guarding him, was knocked over by him.
Barkley and substitute center Chilkat returned to defend the basket. Zhou Quan suddenly stopped and turned around, dodged Chilkat on the left side of the basket, moved from the front of the basket to the front right side of the basket, and then pushed Barkley with his left elbow. After taking off, he hit a fadeaway throw.
"Beep!"
Barkley thought Zhou Quan would use a hook. He had a height advantage and happened to slap it down. He didn't expect it to be a fadeaway throw. He instinctively pulled Zhou Quan's jersey, but the referee saw it and blew the whistle.
"boom!"
Before he could fully jump up, Zhou Quan flicked his wrist before being pulled back to the floor, and the basketball hit the basket.
"Oh ho!"
The whole audience burst into cheers.
"Beautiful, two plus one, Barkley committed four fouls." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "50 points, congratulations to Zhou Quan, once again scoring 50+ in a single game in the playoffs. This is also his second 50+ in a single game in the playoffs.
The last 50+ was when he scored 50 points in the G6 game of last year's finals to win the championship. Today is likely to break his personal single-game scoring record in the playoffs. "
Zhang Lijia praised: "In addition to Zhou Quan's dunks in the fast break today, he mainly relied on outside shots in the positional battle offense. There were fewer layups like just now. He scored 50 points. He can shoot any number of shots. The touch is really good." !”
