Chapter 242 You are just a dish

Compared to the tension among the Suns' starters, the atmosphere on the visiting team was quite, very relaxed.

Among the five starters, Sekali and Zhou Quan are rookies in the finals, but Mark Aguirre, Joe Dumas, and Rodman are all two-time champions and have rich experience. At this time, they were talking happily as if nothing was wrong.

As he spoke, he consciously eased the tension of the two rookies in the finals.

"Appeared."

The staff opened the door and shouted.

"Phew! Let's go."

Zhou Quan let out a long breath, stood up, said hello, and walked towards the door first.

There were more than a dozen players, plus staff and security personnel, and dense footsteps could be heard in the dark corridor.

The corridor is arc-shaped. When approaching the straight path of the players' tunnel, Zhou Quan saw Barkley emerging from the opposite corridor.

"Hey, Fliggy, after playing so many seasons, congratulations on reaching the finals for the first time. You have to cherish it. This may be the only finals in your life." Zhou Quan said loudly.

"Haha... the only time? Haha..." Rodman laughed.

As a famous villain in the league, Barkley was so angry that his nose was crooked. With a bad temper, he immediately glared at Zhou Quan and shouted: "Iron Fist, are you looking for trouble?"

"That's right, don't we still have a boxing match left? The postman is about to finish it, or else you stay behind him and I fight two games in a row?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"It's a wrestling, not a boxing match." Buckley quickly corrected.

"Don't you dare to fight me?"

"You don't dare to wrestle with me."

"You are just relying on your weight. Do you know how to wrestle? Otherwise, if you lose 20 kilograms, I will wrestle with you, and then we will go to the ring and have another round?"

"Are you crazy? I can't lose weight, why can't you gain weight?"

Buckley didn't dare to agree, because he knew that Tie Fist was right. He had only learned wrestling for a few days in college, and it wasn't even considered an amateur. He just wanted to bully Tie Fist based on his tonnage.

At this time, the lights outside went out and the host was calling the away team. Zhou Quan was too lazy to pay attention to Barkley and came out.

"Shh!"

The boos were loud. This was the second time the Suns had entered the Finals. The first time was in 1976, 17 years later. So the fans were very excited and wanted to try their best to suppress the away team's momentum.

When Zhou Quan made his final appearance, the boos were of course very loud. There was a slight nervousness, and the huge excitement made his skin crawl.

"Oh oh oh..."

It was the turn of the home court, and the overwhelming cheers brought the first climax of the night.

In the finals, some Hollywood stars came to the scene, as well as many current and retired NBA stars.

Today is Friday in China. Although it is not the weekend, many people still turned on the TV, and many people who have the means still find ways to watch the game.

The national team also did not arrange training and gathered together to watch the finals in the morning.

…

"We are resilient..."

After yelling out the Pistons' team training at the top of his lungs, Zhou Quan and five others took the field. At 8:30, the game officially started.

"Crack!"

Seikali won the jump ball and the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan received the ball, and after his teammates entered the frontcourt, he advanced to the midline.

"This is the rhythm of positional warfare." Zhang Lili said in the CCTV commentary box.

Kevin Johnson defended and retreated, retreating to the top of the key and not retreating.

But at this time Zhou Quan suddenly pulled towards the left wing, and Lightning quickly followed.

"Go to the left wing to avoid being flanked by Dan Malli on the right wing. Zhou Quan is very cautious." Zhang Lijia added.

"Pick and roll!"

Sun Zhenping suddenly shouted.

Zhou Quan moved to a 50-degree position on the left wing. He passed behind Mark Aguirre, suddenly changed direction downwards, switched to his left hand to control the ball, and went in with the ball.

Kevin Johnson was blocked by Mark Aguirre. Richard immediately changed defense, followed Zhou Quan, stuck to Zhou Quan's right hand, fought against it, and squeezed it outward.

But it was useless. Richard's height is 201 centimeters, ten centimeters higher than Zhou Quan, and his center of gravity is a bit higher, but his weight is only 91 kilograms. His resistance ability is not as good as Zhou Quan's. How can he squeeze him?

Zhou Quan exerted his strength and stood up to his opponent, suddenly reaching a position one step outside the left waist. Seeing that Mark West did not come up to attack, he immediately made an emergency stop, dribbled back and shot a jumper.

Richard caught up and blocked the shot, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, it missed, it was a little short, and the basketball bounced off the basket and was picked up by Mark West, who immediately threw it towards the lightning.

"My hands probably haven't warmed up yet." Sun Zhenping said regretfully.

"It's a trial shot at the beginning." Zhang Li said with a smile.

The Suns attacked, and Lightning caught the ball and advanced quickly, but Zhou Quan let go and chased after him. He didn't get past him, so he stuck to the right side, forcing his opponent to control the ball with his left hand.

Lightning held the ball to the basket, stopped suddenly, put his hands together and swung the ball up.

He wanted to shake Zhou Quan with a fake move and then take a second shot, but just as he swung the ball upward, Zhou Quan's reaction came out.

"Crack!"

Zhou Quan's nerve reaction speed was so fast and his strike was so precise. With his quick eyes and quick hands, when the lightning flashed upward, he suddenly slapped the ball and knocked it away.

"Bah!"

The basketball hit the floor and bounced upwards. He once again used his dual advantages of reaction and strike to grab the ball with both hands.

"Oh, damn steal!"

The on-site commentator said in frustration.

The third advantage is full-level panoramic vision.

Zhou Quan grabbed the ball with his left hand and held up the lightning with his right hand to prevent it from interfering with his passing. With just one glance forward, he could clearly see the positions of the players on both sides. His vision allowed him to pass the ball in the shortest possible time.

Complete the pass within the time limit.

"Whoosh!"

The ball flew to Joe Dumars, who was already turning around on the three-point line on the right wing.

Joe Dumars caught the ball and passed Dan Mulley in one step and headed upfield.

The two sides switched offense and defense, and everyone rushed towards the Pistons' frontcourt again.

Joe Dumars took the ball and rushed to the right wing, but Dan Malley caught up with him. There was no chance. He stopped outside the three-point line on the right wing and waited for Zhou Quan to come up.

Zhou Quan took over the basketball after crossing the midline and began to organize the offense.

He made a tactical gesture, and Mark Aguirre on the left wing immediately moved to the top of the arc, and then he went to the left wing himself.

"Zhou Quan is still better at attacking from the flank. This way, the distance is farther and it is easier to take advantage of the impact." Zhang Lijia said.

After dribbling the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing for a few seconds, Zhou Quan took a step back, attracting lightning to catch up, and then suddenly started a breakthrough, one step from the right.

The rhythm was very well grasped. It was just when Lightning was taking a step forward that I couldn't react when I saw him starting a breakthrough.

He broke through the lightning with one step, then reached the three-point line with another step, heading straight to the left elbow.

Richard in the high post was forced to defend to the left elbow, so Mark Aguirre at the top of the arc was free, and Zhou Quan immediately passed the ball.

"brush!"

Mark Aguirre took a step forward to catch the ball, shot from the high post, and hit a goal.

"Beautiful, high jump shot, long two-point shot, such a big gap, Iron Fist can see it with his eyes closed," Bill Walton shouted.

Lewis Williams said: "The Suns' defensive rotations are not good, and they lack the awareness to quickly cover up defense. If it were the Bulls or the Knicks, Mark Aguirre would not be able to get a wide open space."

Bill Walton laughed: "The Suns' defense is not on the same level as the Bulls and Knicks. The average points conceded per game in the regular season was 106.7 points, while the Bulls and Knicks averaged 98.9 points and 95.4 points respectively."

Looking back, Lightning still pushed forward quickly after receiving the ball, hoping to take advantage of his speed.

It's a pity that after he was seriously injured this season, although he is recovering well now, his speed is not as fast as before. In addition, Zhou Quan himself is faster, so he cannot take advantage.

Zhou Quan still stuck to Lightning's right side, and then intentionally made physical contact, using his strong resistance ability to slow down Lightning's speed.

Lightning is also forced to slow down, otherwise he is likely to make mistakes.

At this time, the other two sides arrived, and the Suns' fast break turned into a positional battle.

Zhou Quan blocked the angle from the top of the arc to the basket. Barkley entered the basket and saw that he had no chance to catch the ball. He immediately ran out and ran to the left wing to ask for the ball.

Two steps outside the left waist, Barkley caught the ball, hit Rodman with his back, squeezed his big butt back again, and then turned around and shot a jumper.
