On the sidelines, Dameng stood up and threw the white towel on the bench, taking advantage of the free throw opportunity to replace Chilkat.
The SuperSonics also made a substitution. Matt Geiger, who did not play in the first half, returned to the game and replaced Earvin Johnson.
In addition, George Karl also replaced Hawkins and asked McMillan to defend the glider.
His idea was that in the last few minutes, the offense must be handed over to Zhou Quan, and then everyone else could just defend, so he replaced McMillan who focused on defense.
McMillan's offense is no longer good. Like the Bulls' Ron Harper, he concentrates on the defensive end. He also averaged 1.7 steals per game this season and is one of the important rotation players that the Sonics can trust.
But in fact, Hawkins defended the glider very well today, but now he is not physically fit enough, so he let McMillan, who is in better physical condition, step up.
Zhou Quan made an extra free throw, 86:93, and the SuperSonics led by 7 points, Mosaic offense.
Outside the three-point line on the right wing, the glider holds the ball.
The point guard is responsible for containing Zhou Quan's defense. Glider is Mosaic's main ball handler today. He plays point guard and has average organizational skills. He also has average touch today. He was guarded by Hawkins and made 3 of 9 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He only scored 10 points. , and only sent out 5 assists.
His playing time is not as good as that of Barkley and Dameng, but he consumes a lot of physical energy, even more than Barkley, because he has to mark shooting guard Hawkins and runs a lot.
At this time, seeing that Dameng did not enter the basket, he knew that Dameng wanted to take a break, so he passed the ball to Barkley in the low post on the right wing.
Barkley caught the ball and hit Rodman with his back. He didn't have the strength to hunch inward. He bumped backwards and then turned over and shot a jumper.
"boom!"
Short, the basketball rebounded and was caught by Rodman.
"here!"
Outside the three-point line on the left wing, Zhou Quan has turned around and stepped down quickly, raising his right hand high to ask for the ball.
"Whoosh!"
Rodman turned right to avoid Barkley's grab for the ball, pushed with both hands, and the ball flew parabolically in front of Zhou Quan.
"Ouch, the pass is too big!" Zhang Lili shouted as soon as he saw the path of the ball.
Zhou Quan turned his head and stared at the flying basketball, while running with all his strength, then jumped up, stretched his right hand as much as possible, and copied the falling basketball.
"predict!"
As the basketball flew over his head, he clicked the ball. With a precise strike, he pointed the basketball forward. After landing, he staggered forward and took two steps. The basketball fell right into his hands.
"Beautiful! Jumping so high!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"Can you still dance like this after fighting?" At the same time, Xu Jicheng exclaimed.
Jaren Jackson, who was chasing behind him, took the opportunity to catch up to Zhou Quan's left side and reached out to poke the ball. However, Zhou Quan caught the ball and pushed forward, allowing Jaren Jackson to poke an empty space. Then he accelerated and rushed forward, making physical contact. During the confrontation, Jaren Jackson was bounced away, staggered and fell to the floor.
"foul!"
Tomjanovich shouted, but no referee paid attention to him.
"brush!"
Zhou Quan reached the three-point line with the ball, took two steps past the right elbow area, combined the ball, and then stepped up for a layup and hit a goal.
"The rest of Mosaic no longer have the energy to return to defense, and the three giants have not kept up with the rhythm of returning to defense." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Zhou Quan is still in such good physical condition after playing so far. This state is really no worse than the last time he scored 50 points in the first half."
"That's right." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Mosaic attack.
Dameng knew that he had to stand up. If he didn't stand up, he would be beaten to death by an iron fist.
He knew very well that Barkley was not good. As his physical condition worsened, his shooting rate became lower and lower. And Glider was even worse today, with his shooting rate only over 30%.
In the first three quarters, Matt Geiger, Gilliam, and Earvin Johnson took turns to defend Dream, but they were all beaten by him. Dream's pace knocked down the three of them many times.
But starting from the last quarter, this situation began to change. As his physical energy was consumed, it became increasingly difficult for him to score in the basket.
This time, Matt Geiger defended with all his strength. Dameng's pace was no longer as flexible as before, and he couldn't find a chance to get into the basket. He could only retreat to the left wing to ask for the ball.
Small forward Mario Elie, who was holding the ball at the top of the key, moved two steps to the left wing and passed the ball down.
At the moment of passing the ball, Rodman in the right midfielder turned around and saved Dameng, losing Barkley.
When Rodman flanked Dream, McMillan who was one step inside the three-point line on the right pounced on Barkley below, Schrempf at the top of the key covered the glider, and Zhou Quan on the left pounced on the top of the key. , the SuperSonics played a quick defensive rotation.
But Zhou Quan didn't try his best in covering up the defense because he couldn't really leave Jaren Jackson open.
Sure enough, Dameng saw Zhou Quan leaving Jaren Jackson open, and Rodman's double attack was already at his side. Without any hesitation, Dameng immediately passed the ball to Jaren Jackson on the three-point line above.
"squeak!"
The moment Dameng pushed the ball out with both hands, Zhou Quan turned around and fought back.
At this time, he was three meters away from Jaren Jackson. The moment Dameng's ball was released, he completed his turn. When the basketball fell into Jaren Jackson's hands, he had already taken the second step.
Jaren Jackson caught the ball, bent his knees and adjusted the basketball in his hand. The next moment, when he was about to take off to take off the ball, Zhou Quan landed on the ground with his second step and slapped him. There was only a crisp sound, and it just hit his chest. The basketball was hit on the floor and bounced high.
"hiss!"
Under the iron palm, Jaren Jackson felt as if his two thumbs were broken. The pain was so painful that he forgot to grab the ball.
"Oh, steal the ball, Tekken's sixth steal!" the assassin roared excitedly.
Zhou Quan grabbed the ball and launched a counterattack. When he reached the right elbow area, Jaren Jackson, Dameng, and Glider were three or four meters behind and gave up.
"brush!"
In order to save energy, he did not dunk and settled the battle with a layup.
"Oh ho!"
Even for a layup, SuperSonics fans cheered extremely loudly.
"86:97, Zhou Quan scored 7 points in a row, and the SuperSonics once again led by double digits." Xu Jicheng roared excitedly.
"The critical moment is the super giant's performance time." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"brush!"
The Glider used Barkley's pick-and-roll on the right three-point line to get rid of McMillan. Rodman's change of defense was a step slower and he hit a long two-pointer with a pull-up jumper.
"It's not easy, the glider finally scored in the last quarter." Laimbeer joked.
"Twelve points. If he scores five or six more points, he will be able to average a playoff performance, so his performance today is actually not bad. There is still time, come on, glider!" The assassin encouraged with a smile. .
"Ha ha……"
Ranbir smiled so hard that the flesh on his face trembled.
Zhou Quan moved forward quickly with the ball. When he reached the top of the arc, he saw Rodman and Matt Geiger entering the basket and suddenly stopped to shoot a jumper.
"boom!"
It was a little shorter and the basketball bounced off the hoop.
"mine."
Rodman shouted secretly, grabbed the rebound before Dameng, and then threw it back to the top of the arc.
"squeak!"
Zhou Quan caught the ball two steps outside the top of the arc, leaned down sharply, took two strong steps downward, and suddenly came to an emergency stop.
"brush!"
Li Lun Jackson was knocked directly to the floor. Zhou Quan calmly made a three-point jumper from the top of the arc and hit it.
"Three-pointer? Go in! After the timeout, Zhou Quan made 4 of 5 shots and scored 10 points in a row." Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.
Zhang Lili said excitedly: "I made 6 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. Zhou Quan scored 16 points in the final quarter, totaling 58 points. I am very hopeful to score 60+."
He is now third in NBA history with this record, behind only Jordan and Elgin Baylor's 63 points and 61 points. "
"88:100, the score difference was 12 points, Mosaic called a timeout."
Xu Jicheng said something and then said: "Director Zhang, there are only 3 minutes left on the clock. We should win today's game, right?"
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should have won it."
He said with a smile: "Jordan's 63 points were scored in the G2 game of the first round of the 1986 playoffs. However, he was swept by Larry Bird in that first round series, so his 63 points were not very special. Glory, I didn’t win that game either.
Elgin Baylor's 61 points should have been in the 1962 Finals. In Game 5, also against the Green Team, he scored 61 points and 22 rebounds and won the game. In fact, it was much more glorious than Jordan's 63 points. "
At this time the timeout ends and Mosaic attacks.
"brush!"
Dameng caught the ball in the low post on the left wing, swung down, turned around, and scored nearly two points with a hook.
"Dameng scored 34 points. It was indeed a giant-level performance at his peak." The assassin smiled.
"No one can say that he is not a giant. The other two are both close friends. We can no longer say that they are close friends." Ranbir added.
"Ha ha……"
90:100, SuperSonics offense.
Zhou Quan holds the ball to the top of the arc. He plays a big-core style and is the core of offense and defense. He has already scored 58 points. According to normal circumstances, his physical fitness is no longer enough, but that is not the case. He still has spare strength.
Firstly, his physical fitness has reached level 96, which is indeed good. Secondly, he slept well last night and is in good physical condition. Thirdly, Mosaic's spread-out tactics mean that he does not consume much on the defensive end. This is also an advantage and a disadvantage.
"Bang bang bang..."
Continuous dribbling, suddenly starting from the left side, breaking through to the left elbow area, forcing Barkley to make up from inside, and also forcing the left wing small forward Mario Eli to double-team.
He did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to take a step inward and then passed the ball to Schrempf on the left three-point line.
This last sudden step forced Barkley back, further attracted Mario Eli, and turned Schrempf's small gap into a big gap.
Schrempf played 30 minutes tonight, and forward and guard swingman McMillan came on the bench for him. The rotation is sufficient, and his physical fitness is still there.
As the person with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the Sonics, he shot this wide-open three-pointer very calmly.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Stable, stable!"
After the ball was scored, Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Zhou Quan still has the physical strength to break through, and he is still very fast with his feet. He is really strong! His distribution of the ball is also very reasonable. Breaking the ball suddenly, breaking in to attract double teams and then passing the ball is the most reasonable."
"Is this Zhou Quan's 12th assist?" Xu Jicheng laughed.
"Oh, yes, it's the 12th time. 58 points, 12 assists and 6 steals, super luxurious data." Zhang Liyi nodded.
"boom!"
Dameng tried again, but missed.
Rodman and Barkley competed for a rebound. The ball was missed, but it was grabbed by Schrempf who rushed down from the high post. The SuperSonics attacked.
Zhou Quan came down quickly and Schrempf passed the ball quickly. When he caught the ball and passed the middle line, Jaren Jackson behind him was already two meters behind.
"Oh ho!"
As the layup was made, the entire Seattle Center Arena erupted.
"60! 60! 60..."
Huge shouts sounded in unison.
"60 points, Zhou Quan scored 60 points!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"90:105, 15 points difference, only 105 seconds left, Mosaic has no chance." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
On the sidelines, Tomjanovich stood frozen for three and a half quarters, and was only 4 points behind. In more than four minutes, it became 15 points. This kind of blow made him hurt and disappointed. To the extreme.
After serving, he called a final timeout.
After Dameng and the others came down, he said: "15 points, no time, no chance to get back. Now Iron Fist has 60 points. If we continue to play, it is likely to break Jordan's 63-point record. You decide for yourself whether you want to continue to play. .”
The three people in Dameng looked at each other with unwillingness in their eyes, but they all shook their heads.
In the ESPN commentary box, the assassin said excitedly: "60 points, Tekken's 60 points is far greater than Michael Jordan's 63 points."
"How to say?"
They are all people he hates, Ranbir asked without motivation.
The assassin said excitedly: "Jordan's 63 points were scored in two overtimes, and his shooting percentage was only 53.7%.
As for Iron Fist, the hit rate obtained during regular time is far higher than Jordan's. And Jordan lost that game, but Iron Fist won the game. "
At this time the timeout ended, Mosaic sent a group of fringe players and gave up the game.
"Oh, the Big Three actually surrendered? These guys, how can they be so embarrassed?" the Smiling Assassin screamed.
"We can't come back. If we don't surrender, are we going to let that guy from Iron Fist score again?" Ranbir said angrily.
The assassin said angrily: "Don't you know they should persevere and never give up? I despise them."
Ranbir chuckled and said, "You're just regretting that Iron Fist didn't break that kid Jordan's record. Why are you pretending?"
"Haha, Iron Fist really deserves it! Can't you control the score difference? Let them fight and give them hope of getting back, so they won't give up." The assassin smiled regretfully.
Seeing that none of the Big Three stood up, Zhou Quan, who was preparing to play, also felt a little regretful, but he also considered this possibility and was not too angry.
The game ended quickly, 96:112, and the SuperSonics won the G1 game by 16 points.
Zhang Liji got the data sheet compiled by his assistant and read: "Dameng had 34 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 51.5%.
Charles Barkley had 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, shooting 43.2% from the field.
Glider had 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, shooting 35.6% from the field.
The three giants combined for 66 points, 28 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 steals, 5 blocks, 9 turnovers and 11 fouls. In fact, the performance was good, especially Da Meng, who played a true giant performance.
However, the SuperSonics' overall defense is stronger than Mosaic's. The fast flanking defense limits the overall performance of the Big Three, especially Barkley and the Glider. "
Xu Jicheng added: "Barkley can only be said to be quite satisfactory, with good rebounds and okay scoring. He averaged one point more per game than in the first two rounds, but his efficiency was a little worse.
As for the glider, both Hawkins and McMillan defended him well today, and his performance was average, not as good as Mario Eli. "
Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "For the SuperSonics, Rodman has 5 points, 15 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, Matt Geiger has 6 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, Gilliam has 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Earvin Johnson has 4 points. With 5 rebounds, Schrempf had 18 points and 9 rebounds, and the five centers and forwards rotated and scored a total of 43 points and 42 rebounds."
Xu Jicheng commented: "The performance of these five players is good, scoring and rebounding are guaranteed, and they are all practical players."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Zhou Quan scored 60 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 6 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 62.5%. He is third in the playoffs' single-game scoring history. No one can deny that tonight he It’s the super giant among super giants.”
Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "A super luxurious performance. This is a game that can be remembered in the history of the NBA."
