He leaned over and dribbled, first took a step to the right, then turned around and controlled the ball with his left hand. He perfectly passed Recas from the left and broke into the paint from the left end of the free throw line.
Barkley, who was one step outside the left midfielder, was experienced. He did not block in front of Zhou Quan, but moved sideways and stuck to Zhou Quan's left side. While cutting off the angle of passing and receiving between him and Gilliam, he used a powerful The confrontational ability squeezed Zhou Quan's center of gravity.
Zhou Quan didn't use his strength to make another breakthrough. If he took a step forward, he would definitely be double-teamed by Dameng and Barkley. Instead, he made an emergency stop and then pulled a step to the right, right in front of the basket.
Barkley immediately followed up, and Dameng also took a step out from the basket, forming a flanking attack on Zhou Quan from the left and in front.
Zhou Quan took off the ball, and Dameng and Barkley also took off at the same time.
"Pass the ball!"
Zhang Lili shouted loudly.
Before he shouted, with a one-handed back pass, Zhou Quan's ball had already flown to Gilliam in the low left wing, one step away from the left sideline of the paint area.
"Where's the ball?"
Dameng and Barkley were about to block the shot, but when they discovered that Zhou Quan had not kicked the ball, they knew something was wrong.
When Gilliam caught the ball, Barkley was more than three meters away from him. Mario Elie jumped down from two steps inside the three-point line, but he was also more than three meters away from him.
"brush!"
The water splashed and hit two points.
"Beautiful! He hit a two-pointer. This is a big gap." Zhang Lili said happily.
"In fact, Barkley shouldn't be covering up, just keep an eye on Gilliam and leave the paint area to Dameng." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "But Zhou Quan's pull-up jump shot is very powerful. If Barkley doesn't cover up, he can take the shot when he reaches the left elbow area."
"Yes, many of Zhou Quan's shots in the first two games were pull-up jumpers from the left and right elbow areas." Xu Jicheng said.
"The mid-range shooting percentage in those two areas is very high, and Jordan is also good at shooting in those two areas." Zhang Liang said.
Xu Jicheng suddenly said: "Now I understand why George Karl sent Gilliam instead of Matt Geiger as the starter, because he wanted to increase the offensive energy in the low post."
"Probably, this will sacrifice a certain amount of ability to protect the rim. It's hard to tell the pros and cons. Oh, Barkley missed the mid-range shot..."
Zhang Heyi said something, and then continued: "But letting Gilliam play the main force is more beneficial to Zhou Quan's breakthrough tactics, because Gilliam can pull away, and Geiger's pulling ability is not as good as Gilliam's. , his mid-range shot can be made, but it’s not very accurate.”
At this time, Mosaic made a shot from Barkley, 2:4, SuperSonics attacked, Zhou Quan advanced to the top of the arc and made an offensive gesture.
Gilliam once again pulled to the left blocking area, which is the area between the left bottom corner and the paint area. He pulled directly to a position close to the left bottom corner, further than the previous attack.
Barkley could only follow him out, two steps outside the paint area.
Zhou Quan started to break through with the ball, but he still broke through from the left elbow area. Rekas was really not strong enough to stop him.
When Zhou Quan broke through with the ball, Jose Hawkins suddenly started cutting inside without the ball in the right corner and quickly ran along the baseline toward the basket. The glider guarding him lost a step.
When Zhou Quan reached the left elbow area, Barkley, who was further outside this time, could not come over to cover up the defense, so Dameng had to come out from the basket.
Zhou Quan took a step forward from the upper left corner of the paint area. When he saw Dameng coming out, his eyes lit up. He immediately stopped to combine the ball and took off the ball.
At this time, Hawkins quickly cut into the penalty area along the baseline.
"Slap you to death!"
With a roar in his heart, Dameng flew to block the shot from one step away.
Zhou Quan suddenly threw his hands and turned the throw into a pass. The ball flew from the sky above Dameng to the right side of the basket.
"Pass the ball?"
The gesture of taking action was wrong, Dameng was startled.
Hawkins cut in, saw the ball coming from Zhou Quan, immediately adjusted his pace, then flew up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed it.
"boom!"
In Dameng's astonishment, the basket behind him was exploded.
"pretty!"
The assassin shouted excitedly and said: "Iron Fist once again used the sudden score tactic, and it was successful again. He had two assists in the beginning, isn't he going to take action himself today?"
Laimbeer scolded: "Dameng, this idiot, didn't even notice the back cut from the weak side."
The assassin laughed and said: "Hawkins hid in the right corner and cut in along the baseline. Dameng came out of the basket. His vision was blind. It was normal not to notice."
4:4, mosaic attack.
Dameng was trying to get a position under the basket, Gilliam moved forward, and the glider holding the ball on the right wing still hoisted the ball over Hawkins' head.
At this moment, when the glider had just released the ball, Zhou Quan on the left turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.
Rodman, who was on the right waist, also turned and rushed toward the basket.
Schrempf, who was in the high post, did the same, turning around and diving towards the basket.
Under the basket, Gilliam fought hard, pulling and pulling. Today he defended Da Meng and had only one task: to buy time for his teammates to double-team the basket.
Dameng still caught the ball, but under Gilliam's defense, he did not seize the opportunity to directly complete the attack. After landing, Rodman was the first to pounce in front of him, then Schrempf, and finally Zhou Quan, he was double-teamed by four people at the basket.
At this moment, he was like a prey, falling into a supersonic trap and began to struggle desperately.
"Oh, ultimate defense!" the assassin shouted excitedly.
"Jordan's Law!" Laimbeer shouted even more excitedly.
"No, there are no Jordan rules. These are all blown by his fans. Bill, don't talk nonsense." The assassin immediately corrected him.
Dameng was surrounded by four people. He grabbed the ball with both hands and raised it high, trying to pass it out. But then Rodman suddenly grabbed a handful of his left armpit, and his hand loosened due to the itching.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Quan took the opportunity to rise up and knocked the ball away with a precise strike.
"ball!"
Schrempf picked up the ball, turned around and saw Hawkins almost reaching the top of the key. He shouted and threw the ball over.
The glider chased next to it, saw the ball coming, and quickly accelerated to overtake it.
Hawkins caught the ball and crossed the free throw line, saw that the glider was already standing under the basket, and then took a step forward and made an emergency stop for a throw.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the basket and hit the two-pointer.
"At 6:4, the SuperSonics played a successful double-team defense under the basket, and it was a desperate team of four and one. Dameng was caught off guard!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
Xu Jicheng analyzed: "Looking at the defense this time, the SuperSonics' flanking defense today should be more fierce than in the previous two games."
"Let's see how to defend from behind." Zhang Lili said.
Mosaic attack, Barkley came out to screen and roll for the Glider. Rodman quickly changed defense. The Glider failed to break through and pulled back to the three-point line.
When Barkley saw it, he quickly ran down and reached for the ball. His intention was to hit a mismatch because the person next to him was Hawkins.
Just then, Dameng entered the basket, stuck Gilliam behind him one step ahead of the right side of the basket, stretched out his hand to the glider and shouted: "Ball."
Both men had opportunities. Glider chose Da Meng under the basket, which was closer to the basket. He moved a step to the side, avoided Rodman and passed the ball in.
On the left wing, Rekasna pulled to the sideline of the three-point line. Zhou Quan took a big step of three meters and two, just one step away from the paint area, and guarded the left elbow area. The moment he passed the ball in the paint area, he jumped Towards the basket.
Dameng caught the ball with one hand, then immediately combined the ball and turned right. His right elbow hit Gilliam's arm behind him.
Gilliam was not tonnage enough, and was 12 kilograms lighter than Dameng. He was knocked back with an elbow on the spot. Dameng took the opportunity to jump up, and continued to block the position with his right elbow, not giving Gilliam a chance to get close, and held the ball with his left hand. Dunk.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Quan rushed over on horseback, jumped up, and with a precise strike, he slapped the ball hard with his left hand, sending the ball high into the sky.
"oh!"
Compaq Center exclaimed.
"Oh ho!"
Two thousand visiting team fans cheered immediately.
"Iron-Blooded Hat! Iron Fist slapped Dream!" the assassin shouted excitedly.
Schrempf, who came down from the high position to flank, jumped up and grabbed the ball. Zhou Quan turned around, took the ball and started to move down quickly. Da Meng, who was slapped behind, threw away his arms and chased after him.
Zhou Quan reached the top of the arc, Mario Eli blocked it, and he changed direction and rushed over.
"You are over thirty-three years old and you can still run so well. What kind of food did this guy grow up on?"
But Dameng took the opportunity to catch up and ran evenly with him, which made him surprised at Dameng's speed.
He accelerated his advance, and Dameng struggled to catch up without missing a step.
When he reached the top of the arc, Dameng was only half a step behind. He turned his head left and right, and first saw Rodman and Glider on the left, then Hawkins and Barkley two steps behind, and then Schlar behind him. Muff, Mario Eli, Gilliam, and Recasna on the right wing.
None of his teammates got rid of the defender, so the ball came to him.
He crossed the free throw line with the ball, and instead of combining the ball, he went directly to the basket, made an emergency stop to combine the ball, then squatted back with both feet, and his body flew back diagonally.
"not good!"
Dameng only thought that Zhou Quan was going for a layup, so he jumped up to block the shot. However, he immediately saw that the distance between himself and Zhou Quan had widened, and he knew that his judgment was wrong.
"Lean back and throw!" Zhang Lili shouted.
"Bang! Bang!"
The angle of the ball was very large. It slipped over Dameng's palm and then landed on the edge of the basket. After bouncing twice, it still fell into the basket.
"Beautiful! Zhou Quan scored the first goal of the day with a sudden stop under the basket and a fadeaway throw." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
After succeeding, Zhou Quan also pumped his fists several times excitedly.
This goal shows that his condition today is not very bad. Of course, there are still some problems with his accuracy. He failed to hit the hollow ball from close range, and it would pop out if he missed it a little further.
Dameng was very angry. He took a hit from Zhou Quan and was beaten when he caught up with him. If he could pay back the hit, he could still save his face, but now he lost all his face.
8:4, Mosaic called a timeout after serving.
"Strengthen the defense against others. Iron Fist's desire to attack today is not very strong. This is a good sign and an opportunity for us."
After Tomjanovich said something to the players, he then said to Barkley: "Charles, keep an eye on Gilliam and don't cover the iron fist easily unless you can cut off the passing angle between him and the open player."
After saying that, without waiting for Barkley's reaction, he said to Dameng: "Hakeem, you must guard our paint area and don't let Iron Fist get in and score easily. You must reduce his scoring efficiency and weaken their low-post offense. I believe you can do it."
Dameng nodded firmly and said, "I will."
Tomjanovich said to everyone again: "Iron Fist's desire to attack is not very strong. He provided two assists at the beginning. So today he must be more inclined to pass and assist rather than score by himself, so keep an eye on your people. Don’t give them space, okay?”
"OK."
He added: "On the offensive end, they just used a four-and-one on Hakeem under the basket. This must be a premeditated tactic, and we have to target this.
Hakeem, you must pay attention to the timing of their shrinking defense, pass the ball to the open space, and don't let the ball die in your hands, understand? "
"clear."
Dameng nodded fiercely.
At this time the timeout ends and the game restarts.
The glider held the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing. Barkley suddenly came up from the low post on the right wing to do a pick-and-roll, and then Dameng entered the basket from the left wing to ask for the ball.
The glider used the wall to break through with the ball, and Rodman changed defense. At this time, he suddenly passed the ball to Barkley outside the three-point line.
"It's misplaced!" Zhang Lili said anxiously.
"brush!"
Barkley caught the ball and hit a three-pointer over Hawkins' head without hesitation.
"Oh ho!"
The stadium was filled with cheers from home team fans.
"8:7, this ball was shot decisively." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili said: "Barkley's peak period was the 1989/90 season, with a shooting percentage of 60%. He remained at his peak until the 92/93 season, and then began to decline.
The previous two seasons were okay, and his shooting percentage in the playoffs could still be maintained at 50%. However, in this playoffs, his shooting percentage has dropped to 44%, and he has lost a lot of form. "
"As he gets older, injuries increase and his physical fitness declines, otherwise Philadelphia and the Suns would not trade him." Xu Jicheng said.
"The main reason is that my leadership ability is not good, my psychological quality is average, I don't have that desperate desire to win, and I fall behind at critical moments." Zhang Liji said with a smile.
At this time, Zhou Quan began to break through with the ball from the top of the key.
He has noticed that the Mosaic team's defense has not shrunk as much as before. He knew exactly what this meant.
When he reached the left end of the free throw line, Dameng had already moved up to the next step of the free throw line, where he could not only prevent his breakthrough and shooting, but also defend Rodman under the basket.
In other words, whether he is shooting or passing, Dameng can guard him.
"squeak!"
Stopping suddenly, Rekasna immediately caught up with him and stabbed the basketball he controlled with his left hand from behind.
"Bang!"
Dribbling the ball from the hip, he pulled the ball up from in front of him with his right hand, then combined the ball, then jumped a step to the right, escaping from the front and back attacks of Dameng and Rekasna.
Seeing this, Dameng immediately took a quick step sideways, and then jumped to block the shot.
At this time, Zhou Quan had already jumped up after the jump step, but he was not shooting, but after attracting Dameng's block. When he jumped into the air, his hands suddenly pushed down, and the basketball hit the floor. , bouncing toward Rodman under the basket.
"Not good!" Dameng was shocked.
"Pass the ball to the ground!" Zhang Lili shouted.
"boom!"
Under the basket, Rodman caught the ball and immediately went for a layup, but missed.
"Oops, missed!"
Xu Jicheng's eyelids exploded when he saw it.
Dameng turned around and took off at the same time as Rodman, using his height advantage to grab the backcourt rebound.
"Alas! The big insect's attack is just a trap." The assassin couldn't help but sigh.
"Him? He's the second or second big player in the Sonics, haha!" Laimbeer burst out laughing.
