Chapter 413 The Magician: The Iron Fist's Three Threats Are Really the Hardest to Defend(1/2)
22:12, Bulls attack.
Jordan ran for a long time, borrowing Kevin Willis' pick-and-roll screens twice, but did not get rid of Zhou Quan. He simply ran to the right three-point line to catch the ball, and then began to single out Zhou Quan.
He grabs the ball with his right hand and sweeps it behind him, with his left elbow in front, ready to start a breakthrough at any time.
Zhou Quan took a step forward and leaned down, like a leopard about to pounce, full of intimidation. Even Jordan's nerves were tense at this time.
But Zhou Quan's sight was not focused. His full panoramic vision was locked on Jordan, including Jordan's right hand holding the ball.
He is too familiar with Jordan. Facing his defense, there is a high chance that Jordan will use a probing step to shake him, and then take a shot or break through with the ball. The possibility of overpowering him is very small.
When using the test step, when Jordan grabs the ball with his right hand, he usually breaks through from the right side, so that he does not have to change hands to control the ball.
However, everything has surprises, so he did not rule out Jordan cheating, deliberately taking risks, grabbing the ball with his right hand, and then breaking through from the left.
"Michael, be careful of his steals!" the nervous commentator reminded at this time.
"squeak!"
Jordan started, and suddenly stepped forward with his right foot. Under the force, there was a sharp friction sound of the sneakers under his feet.
At the moment Jordan started, Zhou Quan's full-level panoramic vision saw that Jordan's right hand grabbing the ball did not dribble downwards, but disappeared behind his back.
There is only one possibility for this action, which is to change hands.
At this moment, the full panoramic view immediately simulated a complete picture in his brain, and Jordan's left hand took the ball from his right hand.
Jordan didn't have time to worry about whether Zhou Quan had been fooled. After changing hands in the trial step, the next technical move came out immediately. He retracted his right foot, then stepped forward to the left. At the same time, he held the ball in his left hand and pressed forward to start his move.
Dribbling breakthrough.
"squeak!"
Relying on accurate prediction, Zhou Quan took a big step to the right and back in time, blocking Jordan half a beat beforehand. At the same time, he accurately stabbed the basketball locked by him with his right hand.
At this time, the basketball just bounced off the floor and was accurately intercepted by Jordan before it fell into Jordan's hands.
"yeah!"
The assassin and others reacted the fastest on the scene and cheered instantly.
"Steal! Zhou Quan stole Michael Jordan..." Zhang Liang's roar sounded.
"Oh, damn! Michael made a mistake..." Magic Johnson lost his voice.
"asshole!"
On the court, Michael Jordan made a mistake and lost the ball and quickly counterattacked on the spot.
But Zhou Quan reacted too quickly. As soon as he got the ball, he immediately turned right and passed Jordan from the left. Jordan chased him half a step behind.
"Oh oh oh..."
At this time, the two thousand SuperSonics fans reacted and let out huge cheers.
"Zhizhizhi..."
On the left wing, the two men were chasing each other. The tense fast breaks and pursuits, as well as the intense friction of sneakers, caused the adrenaline of the fans on both sides to rush immediately. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two.
Holding the ball in his left hand, when Zhou Quan reached beyond the three-point line, he started to change direction without stopping and rushed towards the paint area.
He entered the penalty area from the left elbow area, slowed down slightly, held the ball in his left hand, raised the basketball with one hand, then jumped up, opened his right elbow to block Jordan, who was jumping from the right to block the shot, holding the ball in his left hand
Cut down.
Michael Jordan tried his best to reach out to block the shot, but his body was blocked and he could not reach up to Zhou Quan's left hand.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the loud sound of an exploding basket sounded.
"Oh ho!"
Two thousand visiting fans cheered enthusiastically.
Larry Bird praised: "There is an aerial confrontation. Michael Jordan's aerial confrontation ability is extremely strong. Unfortunately, Iron Fist's aerial confrontation ability is not weaker than him."
Magic Johnson said: "If you shouldn't block a shot from the side, you should have a greater chance of blocking it from behind."
Shaking his head, Larry Bird said: "Iron Fist is not a fool, so he only needs to dunk with both hands, unless Jordan directly pulls someone from behind and commits a flagrant foul."
"24:12, the score has doubled." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.
"Stealing Jordan head-on, Zhou Quan is in great shape tonight!" Zhang Lili laughed.
Then the bull attacks.
Falling behind in the score and with no hope of coming back, the morale of the Bulls players continued to decline. Jordan repeatedly scolded in an attempt to boost morale, but the effect was average.
"Beep!"
At this time, the referee called a pulling foul on Schrempf.
Phil Jackson took the opportunity to replace Kevin Willis and replaced him with Toni Kukoc.
He believes that Kukoc and Jordan have better pick-and-roll quality. Kukoc has three-pointers and can run to the three-point line to do pick-and-rolls, but Willis cannot.
Moreover, Kukoc can play several positions, including the second position, and his golf quotient is also very high.
In addition, it is also necessary to change the lineup on the field and seek some changes to see if some chemical effects can be produced.
"It seems that Phil Jackson gave up Kevin Willis, whom he traded, which is a blow to his prestige." Larry Bird said.
"Winning is the most important thing," Magic said.
The Bulls resume their attack.
Michael Jordan caught the ball at the 45-degree position of the three-point line on the right wing, holding the ball under his right ribs with both hands.
Zhou Quan poked the ball with his left hand from time to time, forcing Jordan to step aside from time to time, and the offensive rhythm was constantly disrupted.
At this time, Kukoc quickly ran up from the low post, preparing for a pick-and-roll, with Rodman following closely behind.
When Zhou Quan heard the sound of sneakers scuffing closely behind him, he knew the Bulls were about to start a pick-and-roll, and immediately prepared to break the pick-and-roll.
Just before Kukoc stood to his right, he reached out and stabbed the ball again half a beat, and then took the opportunity to close up, forcing Jordan to dribble and take a step back.
At this time, Rodman arrived, and he and Zhou Quan immediately formed a double-team on Jordan, and the Bulls' pick-and-roll tactics were broken.
Upon seeing this, Kukoc immediately turned around and ran down again. Rodman gave up the double-team and followed him. At the three-point line, Jordan once again formed a singles situation.
"Come on, Flying Man, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Quan spat.
"I'm afraid of you?"
This trash talk made Jordan feel extremely humiliated. When did he become so timid in singles? This thought made his eyes turn red instantly, and he seemed to be in a state of madness.
"attack!"
Phil Jackson shouted loudly from the sidelines.
The triangle tactic is to create singles opportunities for Jordan. If Jordan cannot fight alone, then he believes that it is not a problem with his tactics, but with Jordan's ability.
"The eyes are red, is this an angry bull?"
Zhou Quan's vision was keen to see the changes in Jordan's eyes, and his vigilance was immediately raised to the highest level, and he sounded the alarm.
In the next moment, he seized the opportunity again, stepped forward with his left foot, leaned over, and stabbed the basketball Jordan pressed to the floor with lightning speed with his left hand.
He used his strong stealing ability to actively defend Jordan again. Even if he could not steal, he could still interrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm.
Push you down before you go crazy, that's what he does.
This opportunity was so good. Jordan had just left the basketball. When he saw Zhou Quan stabbing the ball, he wanted to react, but he was already too slow.
"Crack!"
As soon as the basketball bounced off the floor, it was stabbed away by Zhou Quan's left hand.
Jordan hurriedly turned around to look for the ball, and only picked up the ball when it reached the center line. But at this time, the referee's whistle sounded, a 24-second violation, and the ball rights were exchanged.
"Bang!"
Jordan was so angry that he slammed the ball on the floor, and it bounced high.
"Beep!"
The referee did not forgive Jordan because this was his home court. He decisively called a technical foul and the Sonics made a free throw.
"well!"
The home fans sighed.
"A beautiful defense, even if it is as strong as Michael Jordan, is still at a loss under the threat of Iron Fist's steal, and it is a waste of the ball." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"My hands are fast and accurate. I guess Zhou Quan's steals are all based on the moment when the opponent's ball leaves his hand. Many of his steals are made while the opponent is dribbling," Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Looking at the slow motion, it is definitely like this. At this time, the ball holder has lost control of the ball, which is the best time to steal.
But only he can seize this opportunity, and his nerve reaction speed, hand speed, and pace must all cooperate well to complete a steal."
Xu Jicheng laughed and said: "So when ordinary players steal like this, it is easy for them to make risky steals and make many mistakes."
In the TNT commentary box, when Larry Bird saw Jordan's action of smashing the ball, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "He lost his composure. This is a sign of a disturbed mentality. Now Jordan needs to calm down to regain the unfavorable situation."
