God of NBA point guards

Chapter 414 All Conflicts Are Because of Losing

Next, Jordan and Zhou Quan entered a heads-up mode.

Zhou Quan wanted to continue to assist his teammates to score. Today, several teammates shot very well in open shots, but Jordan didn't give him a chance. You can use the pick-and-roll reverse run to get a little open space, but you can't get a big open space.

He played too much in the first half, because his physical fitness needs to be allocated reasonably, so he didn't make too many breakthroughs with the ball and couldn't create open spaces for his teammates.

Because of this, under one-on-one, the offensive efficiency of both sides began to decline.

After the first quarter, the Sonics scored 38 points in a single quarter with their super efficiency in the first half, leading the Bulls by as much as 16 points and the Bulls by 22 points.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The morale of the Bulls has been declining again and again, and they have never recovered. After not packing the tactics, the point difference has widened instead."

徐计成道：“周权后面4投2中，全节8投6中，命中率75%，三分球3投2中，3罚3中，得到17分8助攻1篮板2抢断1盖帽1犯规的数据。后面又抢断乔丹一次。

乔丹后面7投3中，一共12投6中，其实效率也很高，三分球5投2中，3罚2中，16分1篮板，但是单节有4失误和2次犯规。”

Zhang Lili said: "The Supersonic team has a total of 10 assists, the strength of the whole team has been displayed, and everyone can score.

Behind the Bulls was Jordan attacking with the ball alone. The team only had 22 points. He alone accounted for 16 points. .

The Bulls had only 3 assists in total, [-] less rebounds, and a low shooting percentage for the SuperSonics. This is the reason why they fell behind by a large score. "

"Jordan has abandoned Phil Jackson's triangle offense, but he can't break through Zhou Quan's defense in singles! Zhou Quan steals him once later, forcing him to make two turnovers in half a quarter." Xu Jicheng said.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Basically, this game is set. After the Supersonics win, it will be [-] to [-], and the match point is in hand."

However, Jordan did not give up. He played at the beginning of the second quarter and attacked crazily.

Zhou Quan also began to devote himself to defense, and the offensive end began to break through with the ball more, creating open opportunities for his teammates.

After the second quarter, Jordan made 10 of 4 shots in a single quarter, and his efficiency was not high. Especially in order to chase points, he frantically shot three-pointers.

Zhou Quan's offensive efficiency was not high under Jordan's defense in the second quarter. He made 3 of 1 shots and 4 of 3 free throws in a single quarter, scoring only 5 points and 22 points in the half.

However, he used his breakthrough with the ball to create a lot of opportunities for his teammates, sent 5 assists, and gained two steals and a block on the defensive end.

半节下来，22分13助攻2篮板4抢断2盖帽1失误2犯规的数据。

After halftime, 64:42, the Bulls have fallen behind by 22 points at home, and the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

But this point difference is not too desperate to chase, so the Bulls did not give up, especially Jordan did not give up.

In the third quarter, Jordan played the entire first half and played from the first second, with no intention of saving energy at all.

Zhou Quan did not relax his vigilance and followed suit.

But in this quarter, Jordan's physical fitness was not enough, he had to surrender the ball and started playing off the ball.

This change has brought some turning points for the Bulls, because with the consumption of physical energy, the state of the Supersonic players began to decline.

After the third quarter, the two teams scored 20:27, and 84:69 in the first three quarters. The Bulls were only 15 points behind and pulled back 7 points.

Seeing the hope of getting back, the morale of the Bulls recovered, and Jordan and Phil Jackson communicated again.

"Michael, continue playing in the third quarter?" Phil Jackson said tentatively.

Jordan panted heavily, sweating profusely, panting and said, "In the first half, play as you said."

Phil Jackson nodded. He knew that it wasn't that Jordan backed down, but that Jordan was not physically fit enough.

With limited time, he immediately began to deploy tactics.

On the defensive end, he didn't dare to deploy double-team tactics anymore. Iron Fist's super performance in the first half of the first quarter has made his double-team tactics a joke.

"Man to man, the offensive end plays according to our original tactics." He said.

At the CCTV commentary table, Xu Jicheng said: "In the third quarter, Zhou Quan deliberately preserved his physical fitness. He took few shots and made fewer breakthroughs. The main thing was defense."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "For sure, the advantage in the first three quarters is so great, seize the opportunity to adjust your physical fitness, and play steadily in the final quarter. With Zhou Quanyi's usual stable performance, the Bulls can't win the game anyway."

"Yes, Zhou Quan's performance in the last quarter is the most stable and trustworthy." Xu Jicheng laughed.

Zhang Lili looked at the statistics table and said: "Now Jordan has 32 points, Zhou Quan has 27 points, but Zhou Quan still has 17 assists, and he has 4 assists in the third quarter. Today, his assists should have a chance to reach 20." time."

Speaking of this, he said again: "In fact, the Bulls should double-team Zhou Quan in the last quarter like the first half of the first quarter, because the state of the other players in the Supersonics has declined. It depends on whether Phil Jackson has the courage and whether Jordan will let him. Then hit."

"Di!"

At this time, the final quarter began, and the whistle sounded.

On the other side of the bull, Jordan was still panting. He stood up and looked at Zhou Quan for the first time.

Zhou Quan also turned to look at Jordan, smiled, threw the towel on the seat, and pointed at the field.

"Humph!"

Jordan snorted coldly, and threw down the towel unwillingly.

He originally hoped that Zhou Quan would not play at first, so that he would have a little time to chase points, but he didn't expect that this guy would not give him a chance at all.

How could Zhou Quan give Jordan a chance? If he wins this game, he will get the match point. He will try his best to win this victory. He doesn't want to give Jordan any chance, so he just beat him to death with a single blow.

Supersonic attack.

"Or man-to-man? It seems that I was frightened by my passes and assists today."

Zhou Quan advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and saw that the Bulls were still man-marking and no one was double-teaming him, so he immediately started attacking.

Advancing from the middle to the top of the arc two steps away, he immediately feinted with one hand and began to break through from the right.

Jordan consumes more energy than Zhou Quan. He has to devote himself to both offensive and defensive ends, and he still plays alone for a while, and other people watch, so now he can't keep up with Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan deliberately controlled his personal offense in the second and third quarters, and also controlled the number of breakthroughs in the third quarter, so his current physical fitness is better than that of Jordan, and his feet are still very fast.

Originally, his movement ability was better than that of Jordan, and when he had better physical fitness, when he passed by suddenly and reached the position two meters to the right of the top of the arc, with the blessing of full-level panoramic vision and predictive ability, he saw An arc-shaped breakthrough channel that was about to appear, and then rushed into it.

Originally, there were defenders and teammates on this passage, but the next moment, they all left while they were moving, and then he happened to rush over.

Under the basket, backup center Bill Wennington and Matt Geiger are competing.

Entering the penalty area from the right end of the free throw line, Zhou Quan made two steps behind Matt Geiger. On the right side of the basket, there was a layup. With Rodman separated, Bill Wennington could only use his eyes On defense, Jordan chased the cap from behind, but failed to catch up.

"brush!"

The basketball rebounded and fell into the basket.

"Okay, in this state, even if Jordan performs in the last quarter, it's still not enough to get back the 15-point difference. The Sonics will definitely win today." Zhang Li said in a very positive tone.

Ten minutes later, with the whistle sounding for the end of the game, Zhang Reasonable's view was proved to be correct, and the Bulls did not pull back.

Not only did they fail to make it back, but the final point difference widened to more than 20 points, 110:89, and the Sonics won by 21 points.

Jordan only scored 6 points in the final quarter, 38 points in four quarters, and shot only 36% from the field. He was replaced after playing 10 minutes in the final quarter.

而周权末节6分4助攻1抢断1盖帽，全场33分5篮板21助攻7抢断3盖帽3失误4犯规，轰下了30+20的超级数据，投篮命中率高达58.5%。

At the end of the game, Jordan got up from the bench and walked away, and a bunch of reporters didn't stop him.

In the TNT commentary seat, Larry Bird smiled and said: "Congratulations to Iron Fist, tying Irving Johnson's record of 84 assists in a single game in G3 of the 21 Finals.

Facing Larry Bird, the great magician scored a super triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 21 assists, and broke the record for assists in a single game.

Triple-double and 30+20, you all played a great performance in the finals. "

Magic Johnson laughed a few times and said: "Fortunately, Tekken only had 21 assists tonight, and I can still keep this record."

Larry Bird said with a smile: "Tekken currently holds only one record in the finals, 10 steals in a single game. It was created in the finals last year. It seems to be the G2 game. In that game, he had a triple-double in steals."

At the end of the game, Xu Jicheng was in the CCTV commentary seat and said excitedly: "Congratulations to Zhou Quan, congratulations to the Supersonics, the match point is achieved, and the championship is just around the corner!"

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Three to one, the Supersonics won the match point in the finals. There is no team in the history of the NBA that has come back from a one-to-three deficit in the finals.

In other words, according to historical inferences, the possibility of the Bulls coming back is zero, and the possibility of the Supersonics winning the championship is [-]%.

But we also have to remind you not to be careless, this is Michael Jordan's Bulls after all.Of course, with Zhou Quan's habit of being cautious, it is impossible for him to lose Jingzhou carelessly. "

Xu Jicheng looked at the statistics table in his hand, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, Zhou Quan's shooting percentage is much higher than Jordan's tonight!"

Zhang Lili also looked over his head, nodded and said: "Jordan shot like crazy, even in the face of double-teams, he still forced his shots, it's normal for him to miss the hit rate.

But Zhou Quan is different. He has the best passing ability. Most of his shots are the most reasonable shots. much taller.

It's not that he doesn't have the kind of Jordan's ability to force shots in double teams. For him, it's really unnecessary. He has better offensive methods. "

"So Zhou Quan and Jordan are still different types, a point guard and a shooting guard." Xu Jicheng nodded and smiled.

Zhang Lili said: "Now in the 90s, since Jordan won the championship for the first time in 91, then Zhou Quan was born, and then the two won the championship in turn.

Jordan won the triple crown. If there is no accident this time, Zhou Quan also has the triple crown. Both of them have won the championship for the first six years. "

"Great!" Xu Jicheng praised.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "In the next few years, I guess the situation will be biased towards Zhou Quan, because Jordan is getting old, he is almost 34 years old, and Zhou Quan is only 24 years old, even if his peak period is not as long as Jordan's, he is only 28 years old. Years old, there are still 4 years left.

In other words, in the next four years of the 90s, Zhou Quan will encounter a good opportunity to create his own era. "

"Successfully defending the title this time, will we create a dynasty next year? Jordan has never done it before!" Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Zhou Quan's team is also good, with Rodman as the rebounding leader, and a player like Schrempf who is very practical on both offense and defense.

The owner Ballmer is still very generous. The new arena will be put into use next year. The old arena is only used for one year. I hope he can keep Rodman after the finals. Rodman wants to A long-term contract is required, as Zhou Quan said earlier.

The management is also okay, the general manager Whithit's ability is still good, although he did not get that kind of All-Star star in the reinforcement, but whether it is Matt Geiger or Gilliam, or Hawkins, who was traded in last year, are all practical players.

Especially Matt Geiger and Gilliam, such practical insiders are rare, cheap and easy to use, and they are healthy and have no injuries.

Look at the Bulls, the Kevin Willis traded in by Phil Jackson, the All-Star center, is it useful?It's not easy to use. After the injury, he fell off a cliff. If he lost the bet, he also lost the championship. "

Xu Jicheng nodded and said: "It seems that Phil Jackson's ability to be a general manager is still not enough. His vision for players is not good enough. He is not as good as Jerry Krause."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "I don't know if the Bulls will disintegrate this time. I think the relationship between Jordan and Phil Jackson is not as good as before. They rarely communicate."

"Everything is caused by the loss." Xu Jicheng said.

"Losing is the original sin, and all contradictions will be exposed." Zhang Lili nodded.

Xu Jicheng thought for a while and said: "Including this finals, Jordan has a total of five finals, three wins and two losses, and the winning percentage is 60%. Zhou Quan has four times, three wins and one loss, and the winning percentage is 75%, surpassing Jordan. .”

Zhang Lili continued: "The two faced each other directly in the finals three times in total, Zhou Quan won twice, and Jordan won the first time, Zhou Quan also had the upper hand."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "Look at next year. If the dynasty succeeds next year, Zhou Quan's historical status in the NBA should surpass that of Jordan, right?"

Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "It is indeed possible, but this is the United States, there is no absolute advantage, and it will not convince the public!"

"Ha ha……"

The two laughed.
