Chapter 212 Victory(1/3)
Author: Dong Wangyi
2:4, it's the Bulls' turn to attack.
Phil Jackson hasn't thought of a good move yet. Changing things on the spot is not his specialty. He still hopes to copy the defensive tactics of the G2 game and double-team Zhou Quan on the outside.
"How about letting Scott switch to defend Ulrich and let Scotty keep up with Sekali?" At this moment, he suddenly had an idea.
"Bang!"
Paxson missed a shot under Joe Dumars' defense, Rodman protected the backcourt rebound, and the Pistons began to attack.
Phil Jackson stood up and wanted to adjust his defensive tactics according to his previous idea, but it was too late.
Rodman quickly released the ball to Jordos on the right wing.
At the top of the arc, Zhou Quan turned around and quickly descended. Under the long-distance sprint, his absolute speed advantage had a chance to show off, and he rushed to the top of the frontcourt arc one step ahead of Jordan.
At this time, Joe Dumars launched a long pass from the backcourt and the basketball flew straight to the basket.
At this moment, everyone in the audience, including 10 to 20 million people in North America, plus countless spectators from other countries and regions, including China, all stared at Zhou Quan and Jordan behind him, and their nerves were tense.
Turning his head to stare at the flying basketball, Zhou Quan adjusted his rhythm, soared with all his strength after crossing the free throw line, and backhanded the basketball that was falling rapidly with both hands.
Zhou Quan's adjustment of the rhythm allowed Jordan to catch up one step behind.
Michael Jordan caught up from the right side. After catching up, he took off almost at the same time. He jumped higher and hit the ball with his left hand.
"Crack!"
The rhythm was just right. When Zhou Quan flew to the highest point, the basketball fell into his hands.
The next moment, Jordan's left hand hit, Zhou Quan's hands were pulled down, and the block failed.
At this time, Zhou Quan's body began to slide downward, and his body also approached the basket.
At this moment, Jordan, who was better in the air, blocked the shot again. After his left hand missed, as his body turned in the air, his right hand followed the trend and struck out with another slap.
But at this moment, Zhou Quan also turned around in the air, from the front of the basket to the front left side of the basket, dodged Jordan's right hand to block the shot and then fell to the ground, but the moment before his feet landed on the ground,
With his back to the basket, he lifted the basket with his backhand.
"What?"
Jordan was startled. At this time, he could no longer stay in the air and fell to the ground after Zhou Quan.
"brush!"
At this time, the basket is hollow.
"Oh ho!"
The Palace of Auburn Hills erupted. The moment the basket hit the basket, nearly 20,000 home fans stood up and cheered wildly.
Dunks make people's blood boil, but extremely difficult layups, especially difficult layups in fast breaks, also make people's blood boil.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! A backhand pull-up layup in the air. Iron Fist dodged continuously in the air, dodged Jordan's two blocks, and he completed a super difficult layup."
In the sky above the arena, the roar of bearded John Rowes rolled past and lasted for a long time.
"ah!"
After scoring this goal, Zhou Quan was so excited that he was even more excited than the fans. He rushed to the media box, found the CCTV camera, grabbed the camera, shook it, and kept roaring.
At this moment, countless people in the country saw a face full of excitement, passion, and adrenaline on the TV screen. Their emotions were reserved, and they also became excited at this time.
"Xiao Quan played the ball well, didn't he? Haha..." At Zhou Quan's house, Zhou Jianguo was so happy that he dragged a few old friends and kept shouting.
“Beautiful!”
Lao Zhang from the Tobacco Bureau praised Zhou Jianguo's hand, and suddenly took Zhou Jianguo's hand and said, "Jianguo, when Xiao Quan comes back, take him to my house, and my daughter Niu Niu will be given to him."
Zhou Jianguo was startled, and so were the others. Zhou Ye immediately shouted loudly: "Uncle Zhang, my eldest brother has a girlfriend, I know."
At this time, she pointed at the TV, ran forward again, and shouted: "Look, this is it, oops, I can't see it anymore."
"Yes?" Lao Zhang said disappointedly.
Zhou Ye walked up to Lao Zhang with a smile and shouted: "Uncle Zhang, do you want Sister Niu Niu to be my eldest brother's little wife?"
"Poof!"
Zhou Jianguo and others laughed.
"Damn girl, what are you talking about?"
Lin Yufen couldn't help laughing, but she quickly came up and pulled Zhou Ye away, scolding him, and spanking him twice on the buttocks.
"This little girl deserves a beating!" Lao Zhang said awkwardly.
…
The Palace of Auburn Hills, 2:6, the Bulls were behind. In order to prevent the Pistons from gaining momentum and to rearrange their defensive tactics, Phil Jackson called a timeout.
After the timeout, the game continues.
"Defend! Defend..."
When the Bulls attacked, all the Pistons fans in the audience cheered.
Grant pulled to the right corner and then moved up along the three-point line to take Rodman away.
Jordan entered the low position on the right wing, filling Grant's position, with his back to Zhou Quan, his right elbow against the man, and his left hand raised high to ask for the ball.
In singles in the low post, he either rushes in or turns around and shoots a fadeaway jumper. If it is the latter shot, it only takes a little more than one second for him to catch the ball and shoot, making it very difficult to double-team.
His mid-range shooting percentage from this position is second only to the left and right elbow areas and the free throw line. It is difficult to double-team, which is one of the reasons for the high shooting percentage.
At this time, there was no one under the basket, and Sekali was pulled to the left midfielder position by Williams. Zhou Quan could only defend from behind and could not go forward, otherwise Jordan would cut back to the basket and it would be over.
At the top of the key, John Paxson lobbed the ball down from Joe Dumars' head.
When Jordan catches the ball, he immediately dribbles and leans back. According to his rhythm, he only leans for a moment, and then immediately uses his strength to turn around and take off, and he can get rid of the defender.
But at this moment, Zhou Quan took a small step back, leaving him in the air. His upper body couldn't help but sway backward. At this moment, the ball was a little out of his control.
The next moment, Zhou Quan turned sideways to grab it, and at the same time, he leaned over and fished it out with his left hand.
I actually caught it. The moment my hand touched the ball, I immediately pressed down quickly and bang, the ball exploded.
"Damn it!"
Jordan also reacted very quickly. After losing the ball, he immediately counterattacked on the spot, but before he could catch it, Zhou Quan had already transferred the ball to his right hand by exploding the ball.
"Beautiful! Steal the ball! Iron Fist stole Jordan's ball, and he was going down quickly..." The roar of bearded John Lowes immediately sounded.
"Oh oh oh..."
All the Pistons fans in the audience began to cheer, cheering for the home team's fast break.
Grant moved two steps outside to block Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan passed to Rodman, then bypassed Grant, then came back, and passed the center line in a few steps.
Jordan was chasing behind him, only half a step away, and by the time he reached the three-point line on the left wing, he was already close to him, relying on strong confrontation to squeeze him to the left.
At this time, he saw Joe Dumars rushing over the top of the arc, suddenly stopped, and the ball was pulled up. The moment he put his hands together with the ball, he pushed toward Joe Dumars.
"Oops!"
Jordan, who stopped suddenly in front of him, looked over and saw that there was no ball. He immediately knew that he had been fooled. When he looked back, he only saw Zhou Quan jumping up.
"Three-point shot!"
In the commentary box, the bespectacled man Longger Lance shouted loudly.
In the air, Zhou Quan made a powerful move with his five fingers, and the orange-red ball flew towards the basket with strong rotation.
"brush!"
The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.
"Oh yeah! Beautiful! Iron Fist hit a three-pointer! He stole Michael Jordan, then smashed Michael Jordan's defense and made another fast break."
Bearded John Lowes roared excitedly.
"2:9, the Pistons got off to a very good start, showing off their momentum at home." Sun Zhenping said excitedly in the CCTV live broadcast.
Zhang Lili said happily: "I made 3 of 3 shots, 7 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound. The Iron Fist had a great start. The Bulls made 1 of 2 shots. Jordan made one hit and made 1 turnover. The start was not very good."
The Bulls did not call a timeout. The counterattack caused by a mistake was not a tactical problem. He believed Jordan could adjust.
Jordan did not disappoint him, and then hit a mid-range shot over Zhou Quan's head, stabilizing the Bulls' morale with his score.
4:9, Pistons attack.
It's still the old tactic, Seikali goes into the high post to pick and roll.
But this time, according to Phil Jackson's defensive tactics, when Ulrich went down low and Sekali came up from the low post, Pippen and Williams switched defenses directly.
Williams did not follow Seikali up and stayed low on the left wing, while Pippen dropped Ulrich halfway and followed Seikaly.
After Zhou Quan saw it at the top of the key, he didn't dare to wait for Sekali to come up. Why not just bring Pippen with him? He immediately moved the ball to the left wing.
Seikali came to the free throw line and stopped moving, holding Pippen in front of him.
Jordan followed Zhou Quan to the left wing, and the two were still in a duel.
