Chapter 133 Fierce and exciting
At 9:10, the Bulls overtook the score and the Pistons attacked.
This time, Zhou Quan did not pass the ball again. Facing Jordan's defense, he advanced to the left three-point line with the ball, made a tactical gesture, and then made a singles stance to attack the opponent.
"Boy, is your check ready?"
After making all five shots and scoring ten points in a row, Jordan also knew that he felt good today. In his excitement, he started talking trash for the first time.
"squeak!"
Zhou Quan responded to Jordan with a sudden first step, accelerating and stepping past others.
But Jordan's reaction was too quick and he quickly retreated.
The next moment, Zhou Quan retracted his right foot and pulled the ball back.
However, Jordan seemed to know that it was a fake move, so he took another step forward and defended in front of him again.
However, Zhou Quan took a step forward for the second time.
However, Jordan kept up with the rhythm again and retreated once again.
"careful……"
An on-site commentator shouted urgently.
"Bang!"
However, as soon as Jordan retreated, he bumped into John Salley, and at this time, Zhou Quan passed him with the ball.
"...Pick and roll. Oops!"
The on-site commentator finished reminding.
Zhou Quan broke through Jordan, changed direction downwards, followed the baseline and broke out of Cartwright, who was switching defense, and rushed into the paint area. Facing Grant who was returning to the basket, he dunked the ball with his right hand and raised it high, taking off with all his strength, directly
Flying up.
"Don't even think about it!"
Grant jumped up to block the shot.
The next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly retracted his right hand holding the ball high, and his body flew under Grant's arm. As he fell downwards and flew under the basket, he pulled the lever with his backhand to pick up the basket.
"brush!"
The basketball fell into the basket and the two points were scored.
"Oh, this ball is beautiful. Iron Fist passed three people and performed a wonderful pull-up layup." Robert Guida said with a smile.
"It's really not bad. Iron Fist finally did some tricks this time." Ringo Wilson smiled and nodded.
"Ervin, the Pistons are in great shape today! If the Bulls want to win at home, they have to work hard." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said with a smile on the sidelines.
Magic Johnson smiled and said: "Joe Dumars can't guard Michael. The Pistons haven't double-teamed him yet, but as long as he makes a few breakthroughs and scores, I think Coach Daley will definitely double-team him."
But on the contrary, there is no one in the Pistons who is worthy of the Bulls' double-teaming tactics, so the Pistons' offense should be more difficult and it will be difficult to get open spaces.
As long as the Bulls don't collapse themselves and continue to slowly accumulate advantages, the Pistons will have even less chance of winning."
On the court, 11:10, the Bulls attack.
Jordan took a break, Pippen attacked with the ball and missed a shot. John Salley grabbed the rebound and the Pistons attacked.
"Chuck, Rodman is in average condition today. He hasn't grabbed a rebound yet, and all the statistics are zero." Assistant coach Musk said on the sidelines.
Chuck Daly nodded, although he was leading the score, but his brows were a little frowned.
The Bulls are not very strong in rebounding, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference and 13th in the NBA. However, they only averaged 0.3 fewer rebounds per game than the Pistons in the regular season. Now Rodman is injured and his form has seriously declined in the playoffs.
I may suffer another loss in rebounding today.
Zhou Quan holds the ball and confronts Jordan at the 45-degree position of the left three-point line.
"Old bird, your donation promise is so ridiculous! Since you are sure to sweep me, why don't you promise to donate 500,000 if the sweep is not completed?"
Zhou Quan’s trash talk is here.
"snort!"
Jordan snorted angrily, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
At this time, John Salley came up again to pick and roll, and Zhou Quan used the wall to break through, but this time it didn't go smoothly. After being blocked by Cartwright, Jordan took the opportunity to catch up two steps away from the paint area, and his teammates did not run out.
With the ball open, he had no choice but to force a shot over Jordan's head.
"Crack!"
Jordan's big hand directly covered all his sight. Pippen slapped the ball from behind. Before the ball was released, it was directly pressed down and he fell to the ground.
"Jordan Pippen double-teamed Iron Fist for the second time, and this time he succeeded." Robert Guida said.
"Bang!"
Looking back, Jordan broke through with the ball, passed Joe Dumars and Rodman, and went to the basket to complete a dunk.
At 11:12, the Bulls took the lead again.
"Rodman didn't move fast enough today, didn't cover up in time, didn't rebound, and was in bad shape. If we continue to play like this, the Pistons will be in danger," Robert Guida said.
"I thought Michael would take a break, but he took another shot and made 6 of 6 shots. I'm very excited today!" Ringo Wilson laughed.
On the court, Zhou Quan came to the left wing with the ball, and Ulrich sank one step into the left corner, bringing Pippen down with him. This was exactly the same as the last offense.
This time, after Zhou Quan made a tactical gesture, he waved to John Salley, asked for his pick-and-roll, and then used the wall to break through.
But this time, he broke through from the left. Last time, he broke through from the right, near the top of the arc.
Cartwright blocked Zhou Quan again, giving Jordan a chance to pursue the defense, and then immediately returned to the paint area to catch up with John Salley who cut inside immediately after the pick-and-roll.
"Breakthrough failed!"
A live commentator shouted excitedly.
"Double team!"
Another on-site commentator shouted equally excitedly.
Pippen saw Jordan blocking Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan was very close to him, two meters away. He immediately took a step forward, stretched out his big hand, and reached Zhou Quan, completing the double-team.
But just when Pippen moved up, Zhou Quan, who was well prepared, pulled the ball up and suddenly pushed it into the gap between Pippen and Jordan.
He deliberately chose to break through from a position close to Pippen, intending to create an opportunity for Ulrich to cut inside after attracting Pippen's double-team.
"not good!"
Jordan and Pippen were shocked.
"Well done!"
According to the tactical requirements, Ulrich started to cut in from the left corner. When he saw the rebound ball, he clasped his hands together excitedly. After receiving the ball, he strode into the paint area and then flew up.
At this time, John Salley, who was cutting inside, stopped at the left elbow area according to the tactical requirements, and Cartwright also stopped under the left elbow area, watching helplessly as Ulrich went in with the ball, and it was too late to return to the basket.
.
At the same time, Grant and Rodman were entangled one step away from the front right side of the basket, and they could only watch the dunk happen.
"Bang!"
Under the tomahawk dunk, the Bulls' basket roared.
"Oh ho!"
Two thousand visiting team fans roared with excitement.
"Shh!"
The fierce boos from the home fans came as expected, drowning everything.
"At 13:12, the Pistons took the lead again." Ringo Wilson said.
"Iron Fist made 2 of 3 shots today, with 5 points, 3 assists and 1 steal. His organization and assists are the most important reason for the Pistons' outstanding offense today. Now look at Michael, will he still take action?" Robert Guida said.
"Bang!"
On Joe Dumars' head, Jordan used a tentative step to fake a shot, but Joe Dumars kept up with the rhythm and missed the ball.
"Six shots out of 7, the Bulls still need others to step up and score. It's time for Michael to take a rest." Ringo Wilson said.
After this ball, Jordan really rested.
"Bang!"
Joe Dumars singled against Paxson and also missed a shot.
Looking back, Pippen attacked with the ball, passed Ulrich, and reached the left midfielder. At this time, Zhou Quan went down from the free throw line to defend, and John Salley formed a double team and took the opportunity to steal the ball.
With two minutes left in the first quarter, at 25:25, the Bulls had the ball, and Phil Jackson called a timeout in advance.
