"boom!"
Mosaic offense, twelve seconds later, Dameng squeezed into the basket, and the glider quickly passed the ball. After receiving the ball under the basket, he swayed left and right, then turned right and elbowed Gilliam away, and then held the ball with his left hand and dunked. Gilliam.
"8:9, Mosaic finally overtook the score, taking the lead for the first time in three games. It's not easy for the Big Three!" Xu Jicheng said.
"After all, this is the home court. He elbowed Gilliam when he was attacking just now. The referee pretended not to see it," Zhang Liang said.
Zhou Quan held the ball at the top of the arc, and Rekasna implemented a close defense. The defensive strategy was very clear, which was to prevent shots but not breakthroughs.
He first dribbled the ball and took a step back, then feinted with one hand, then accelerated and stepped over, completing the breakthrough from the right.
Rekas was also very smart. He did not follow Zhou Quan when he retreated. This was a bet that Zhou Quan would not take a long-range three-pointer, leaving him enough room to retreat.
But the difference in strength was too big. He was shaken for a moment, and then when Zhou Quan accelerated and stepped over others, his rhythm failed to keep up and he was completely knocked out of the way.
Zhou Quan reached the right end of the free throw line in three steps. Dameng reached the position two meters below the free throw line. He immediately stopped and shot a jumper. Dameng stepped forward to block the shot. The moment before taking the shot, he was forced to increase the angle of his shot.
At this time, Barkley had already returned to the basket from the low post on the left wing, filling Da Meng's position.
"boom!"
The basketball hits the basket and rises.
"Missed!"
Zhang Lili sighed.
Barkley and Rodman took off at the same time, the basketball was flicked by Barkley, and Dameng turned around and grabbed the basketball.
Dameng held the ball high with both hands and turned around to look for someone. At this moment, Zhou Quan rose up and hit the ball with a precise strike.
"Snapped!"
The blow was so powerful that the basketball was knocked away and was thrown into the air under the influence of the two people's strength.
"Damn it!"
Dameng cursed in his heart and hurriedly looked for the ball, but this time Rodman was so powerful that he grabbed the basketball before Barkley.
"Oh, it's beautiful, this is a big steal!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"My hand is so accurate!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly at the same time.
Zhou Quan immediately retreated after landing. At this time, Rodman threw the ball over. He caught the ball, turned around, pulled it to the top of the key, and began to reorganize the offense.
Three seconds later, Zhou Quan once again broke through with the ball.
Rekas still can't stop him, but his task is only to prevent Zhou Quan from shooting, so the defensive task is completed.
Zhou Quan once again reached the right elbow area. Facing Dameng who was lifting up again, this time he did not stop for a jump shot. Instead, he made a small change to the right in one step and killed Dameng on the left side.
Dameng quickly turned left and took a step down, keeping Zhou Quan out, showing a strong defense.
At this time, Rodman was also under the basket, but the three seconds of his attack had passed. He did not dare to participate in the attack. He just stood there and watched the show, motionless, and did not dare to make any screen moves.
Zhou Quan shot down from Rodman to the baseline, then circled Rodman toward the left side of the basket.
Dameng bypassed Rodman from above and stood on the front left side of the basket in one step. If Zhou Quan shot on the left side of the basket, he could just stop him.
But at this moment, Zhou Quan, who was clearly aware of Dameng's movement, suddenly turned around and returned to the right side of the basket. Then, holding the ball with his left hand, he shot a one-handed rebound shot through Rodman.
"Shet!"
There was Rodman between Dameng and Zhou Quan, so they could only watch the ball and sigh.
"boom!"
The basketball bounced off the board and went hollow into the basket.
"Oh ho!"
Two thousand visiting team fans cheered immediately.
"10:9, Supersonic overtake." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"I played this ball patiently, and I completely got rid of the big dream before taking action. Zhou Quan really felt like he was in no one's land in the paint area!" Zhang Lili praised.
"Director Zhang, no one came in to double-team this time. What's Mosaic's idea?" Xu Jicheng asked.
"I'm afraid of Zhou Quan's pass, so I don't dare to leave the ball open."
Zhang Lili said with a smile, and then added: "The media is saying this. Zhou Quan exploded twice in a row, and it was a big explosion. It consumed too much physical energy and energy, so there is a high probability that this game will not be that good. , it won’t explode.
So with his ability, if his personal offense will not explode, he will definitely strengthen his passing, and he sent two assists at the beginning, which also proves this.
Therefore, Mosaic strengthened its defense against others and reduced the double-teaming of Zhou Quan, just to prevent his passing. "
At this time, Dameng received the ball in the low post on the left wing, swung it left and right, and then slid to the bottom, but Gilliam kept up with the rhythm this time.
"brush!"
As soon as Dameng saw it, he immediately stopped to hit the ball, then used his right elbow to push Gilliam, and made a small hook with his left hand, making a hit.
"At 10:11, Mosaic surpassed the past again." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili said: "Dameng scored 6 points on 3 of 4 shots. However, he made two mistakes. Once he was caught in a trap and lost the ball. Once Zhou Quan just stole him and took a block from Zhou Quan, but his overall condition was is good.
Xu Jicheng said: "Barkley seems to have made 2 of 2 shots and scored 5 points. The two of them made 5 of 6 shots. These two are in good shape today!"
Zhang Lili said: "Zhou Quan made 2 of 3 shots and scored 4 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Hawkins scored 4 points on 2 of 2 shots, Gilliam made 1 of 1 shots, and Rodman made 0 of 1 shots. , the SuperSonics made 5 of 7 shots, and the efficiency was also very good. The key point is that Zhou Quan played a good defensive state today."
"boom!"
At this time, Barkley set a pick-and-roll for the Glider on the right three-point line. He received the pass again and shot a three-pointer, but he missed.
Schrempf rushed in from the high post to grab the rebound, and the Sonics attacked.
Zhou Quan took the ball to the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture. Schrempf from the left wing immediately ran over.
"Watch the pick and roll!"
Tomjanovich shouted from the sidelines.
Zhou Quan used the wall to break through, but when the ball was opened, his ball was handed into the hands of Schrempf, and he deliberately blocked Mario Eli.
"brush!"
Rekas was chasing Zhou Quan, but this time Schrempf found a small opening, shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and hit a goal.
"Nice pick-and-roll tactic!"
The assassin praised and then added: "Tekken really focused most of his energy on organizing offense and passing the ball today, then on defense, and finally on personal offense."
"He can't make a move. There were a few sudden moves in front of him. This time it was called a pick-and-roll, and he couldn't make a move either." Laimbeer sneered.
13:11, Mosaic attack.
"boom!"
Dameng also missed. After catching the ball in the low post on the left wing, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper, but missed.
Rodman protected the backcourt rebound and wanted to pass it quickly to Zhou Quan, who had already turned around and was about to go down, but was stopped by Barkley.
Zhou Quan came back to take the ball, advanced unhurriedly to the frontcourt, then pulled it from the top of the arc to the left wing, and then made a tactical gesture.
He started to break through with the ball on the left wing, attracting the defensive attention. Hawkins took the opportunity to start cutting in on the weak side. When he broke out to the outside of the left midfielder, Dameng had to come out from the basket to cover up the defense. At this time, he took the opportunity to pass Ball to Hawkins.
But at this moment, Dameng turned around very quickly and returned to the basket in one step. Hawkins received the ball and made a layup with a big block.
"Snapped!"
With a loud whipping sound, the basketball was whipped upside down like a meteor and flew directly out of the sideline.
"Oh ho!"
The Compaq Center suddenly turned into a boiling ocean.
"Oh, big dream, big hat Hawkins! This is an iron-blooded big hat..." the on-site commentator roared excitedly.
"The block is directly out of the court. Although you can't get the ball, it will greatly boost morale. It will also damage the opponent's morale. This big block is still very cost-effective." Zhang Lili praised.
"What a quick return to defense! Is Dameng's defense going to explode today?" Xu Jicheng said in shock.
Zhang Lili said: "Judging from some statistics in the regular season, Dameng has also started to decline from its peak, with a shooting percentage of 51% in the regular season.
He is the opposite of Barkley. Barkley's performance in the playoffs was not as good as the regular season. He was better in the playoffs than in the regular season.
But in this playoffs, like Barkley, his condition has declined, and his scoring ability has dropped a lot compared to last season. "
"It should be said that he has passed his peak period." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "He is also unlucky. In the past two years, when his personal strength and team strength reached their peak, Zhou Quan happened to come to the West.
After meeting in the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years and getting a bloody blow, he actually missed the best opportunity to win the championship. Three giants who had already reached their peak were united together and were beaten like this by Zhou Quan. "
At this time, Zhou Quan tried to shoot a three-pointer, but failed. Dameng grabbed the rebound and started a mosaic attack.
"Zhou Quan made 2 of 4 shots. How he feels today depends on what happens next. It may not be bad." Xu Jicheng said.
"If his personal offense is not good, he can also help the team in other ways, such as organization and defense." Zhang Li said with a smile.
In the Mosaic frontcourt, Mario Elie used Dameng's pick-and-roll on the left wing to break through. When he got rid of Schrempf and reached the left midfielder, he was blocked by Rodman. He quickly gave the ball to the basket. of Buckley.
Barkley caught the ball for a layup, and Zhou Quan had already jumped down from the high position. Thinking of Zhou Quan's blocking and stealing abilities, he couldn't help but panic and his hands shook.
"boom!"
The basketball missed the mark and bounced off the basket, but was caught by Zhou Quan who jumped to block the shot.
"Haha, this goal can be scored. Zhou Quan's defense was actually a little slow. It was Barkley who didn't handle the ball well. He trembled when he finally took the shot." Zhang Li said happily.
"This is the psychological quality. This ball should be 100% scored for Zhou Quan and Jordan, right?" Xu Jicheng said.
"That's for sure. The same goes for the Magician and the Smiling Assassin. They all have super good mental qualities. It doesn't matter whether they hit the target or not, just prevent it from hitting their face." Zhang Lili said.
"boom!"
Hawkins came down quickly, received Zhou Quan's pass, and made a sudden jump shot at the left three-point line, but missed.
Rekasna, who returned to defense, got the rebound and started a mosaic attack.
"Hey, this ball was thrown too quickly. It was a waste of ball rights. We should wait for Zhou Quan to come back. That is the most reasonable way to play." Zhang Lili said anxiously.
"brush!"
Looking back, outside the three-point line on the right wing, the glider faked a real shot in front of Jose Hawkins and hit a three-pointer.
"Not bad, this is Drexler's first shot. Has he returned to his form today?" Xu Jicheng said.
"At 13:14, Mosaic took the lead again. Maybe this game will end like this. Zhou Quan's offensive desire today is indeed insufficient. The scores are entangled and no one can pull away." Zhang Li said.
The game continued, and Zhang Lili was right. With two minutes left in the final quarter, it was tied at 94:94. SuperSonics had the ball and called a timeout.
"This is the ninth draw in this game. Let's see who performs better in the last minute."
When Zhang Lili said this, he glanced at Xiao Lin, who was sorting out the data, and said expectantly: "Zhou Quan has blocked four shots today, right?"
At this time, assistant Xiao Lin handed over the compiled data statistics table. Xu Jicheng took it with some anticipation and looked at it, and suddenly said excitedly:
"Zhou Quan made 7 of 16 shots, a shooting percentage of 43.7%, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. Now he has 21 points, 5 rebounds, 18 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks, which is only one step away from his second 5*5. One shot was blocked.”
"This is the second 5*5 in his career and the second 5*5 in the playoffs. He only worked so hard in the playoffs. He has never worked so hard to block shots in the regular season." Zhang Liang said.
Xu Jicheng turned to the second page, shook his head and said: "Zhou Quan actually played very well today, only his shooting touch was a little worse.
But the Big Three also performed very well today, which is why the two teams are still tied until now. "
Zhang Lili took the data sheet handed over by Xu Jicheng, looked at it and said: "Big dream, 23 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, shooting 54.5%.
Barkley had 20 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, shooting 50.5% from the field. Glider, 21 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, shooting 46.5% from the field.
The Big Three combined for 64 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 8 blocks. Their scoring accounted for 68.1% of the team's total, and their rebounding and defense were both good. "
Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "Yes, if it weren't for Zhou Quan's assists and defensive performance, the SuperSonics would have lost."
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The performance of the other SuperSonics players was actually pretty good, with 18 assists. They seized many open opportunities and did not waste Zhou Quan's passes."
Xu Jicheng read: "Hawkins had 16 points, Schrempf had 20 points and rebounds, Gilliam had 13 points and 6 rebounds, Matt Geiger came off the bench for 23 minutes and also grabbed 7 points and 5 rebounds, McMillan had 6 points, Ai Si Qiu scored 9 points and Rodman grabbed 2 points and 14 rebounds. The whole team’s performance was not bad, otherwise they really wouldn’t be able to withstand the Big Three today.”
At this time, on the SuperSonics bench, Zhou Quan drank some water and added an energy drink. After his breathing calmed down, he said to his teammates: "Guys, if we win tonight, then in the next game, we will win." To sweep them away.”
"Swipe?!"
Schrempf and the others were startled at first, and then immediately became excited.
It is also an honor for them to advance to the finals in a sweep.
"Yes, sweep." Zhou Quan said firmly.
Analyzing from the physical feeling, today's condition is average, but he feels that his mental state is not bad, his concentration is also very concentrated, and his reaction speed is also very fast. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have a defensive performance of 6 steals and 4 blocks today, but he does not have the shooting touch. return.
In this state, after using the Sleeping Alchemy Technique to adjust for two days, he felt that the state should be further improved during the G4 game the day after tomorrow. Even if it was not as good as the G1G2 game, it should be better than today.
