God of NBA point guards

Chapter 622 This old man is so pitiful

Ginobili took the ball to the left wing, Mason defended, and Mike Miller went to guard Stephen Jackson.

Facing Mason's defense, which was worse than Corey Maggette's, Ginobili broke in very easily.

"We were surprised again, so Bowen shouldn't have been traded." Yu Jia said disappointedly.

Spurs substitute power forward Malik Rose has some mid-range shooting ability, but his two-point shooting rate from far, middle and close range is only more than [-]%, so although he moved to the right block position one step inside the right corner, Kurt Thomas did not. He followed completely and stayed at the right waist. At this time, he immediately moved two steps inward and made a move to defend Ginobili.

Ginobili jumped up when he entered from the upper left corner of the paint. After attracting Kurt Thomas to take off and block the shot, he twisted his body in the air and passed the ball to Marikros in the right block with both hands.

Zhou Quan, who was controlled on the right wing by Tony Parker, had little performance on the defensive end. When he saw Ginobili's passing action, his eyes lit up.

He kept Tony Parker two meters away, just two meters above Malik Rose, only a step and an arm's length away. How could this ball be passed to Rose's hands?
The moment Ginobili passed the ball, before the ball even left his hands, he reacted defensively.

He turned around, took the next step, jumped up, grabbed the ball with his big hand, and intercepted the ball directly before Malik Rodman. When he landed, he stepped just a little inside the baseline.

"Oh hoo!"

There were warm cheers again at the scene.

"Stealing the ball, this is the first time the Iron Fist King steals the ball today." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"Zhou Quan's reaction is so fast!" Zhang Liji said with a smile.

Holding the ball to the top of the arc in the frontcourt, Zhou Quan saw the Spurs' defensive formation shrinking somewhat, and immediately thought of Popovich's pinching action just now.

"squeak!"

Using force under his feet, he suddenly took a big step over the person, then stepped on it and pulled him back.

"It's over! Now I've made a fool of myself again."

Losing his center of gravity, Tony Parker sat down directly on the floor and was knocked down.

"brush!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Zhou Quan calmly took off from the top of the arc and hit a wide-open three-pointer.

He just saw Popovich's pinching action with both hands. As a result, the Spurs' defense shrank, so he faked a sudden shot and used his outside jumper to break the Spurs' defensive tightening tactics and pull the Spurs' defense apart. Jump in and hit the space.

16:21, the Spurs attack.

Marikros still pulled out so that Ginobili could break in. He once again broke through with the ball from the left wing and entered the penalty area with three twists and turns.

But this time Ben returned to the basket very quickly and got in front of Ginobili. Ginobili immediately passed the ball to Duncan behind Ben.

Kurt Thomas had already returned to guard the basket, and then quickly switched to Duncan. Duncan did not pass the ball to Marirod, who was open, but instead used Thomas to hit the board with a sideways hook.

Ben took off to block the shot and did not touch the ball, but it affected Duncan's shooting angle. The basketball hit the board and hit the rim and missed, and was caught by Thomas.

"The defense was good this time. Duncan had made 8 of 5 shots before, which was very efficient. Now he is 9 of 5 shots." Zhang Liji said.

"This was a nearly two-point hook. The shot was about three meters away from the basket. It was not easy for Duncan to get into the basket." Yu Jia said.

"Yes, with Ben and Kurt Thomas, it is really difficult for him to attack the basket. With the defense of these two people, it is not easy for O'Neal to get to the basket. Duncan should have seen Malik Rose's open space, but just Zhou Quan To steal the ball, he probably didn't dare to pass it, so Rose's big gap didn't work." Zhang Lili said.

"Unless Malikros is pulled to the left wing." Yu Jia said.

Neither Mike Miller nor Corey Maggette, nor the substitute Mason, could stop Ginobili's breakthrough with the ball, but the Spurs were even more unable to stop Zhou Quan's breakthrough with the ball.

This time, Tony Parker was caught outside the three-point line on the left wing again.

Stephen Jackson came from the center to cover, and Zhou Quan passed the ball to Mike Miller, who was open at the top of the key.

Ginobili quickly reinforced the top of the key from the right wing, and Mike Miller passed to Mason who was open on the right wing.

As soon as Zhou Quan saw it, he immediately entered the penalty area and prepared to grab the rebound.

"boom!"

Mason, who was not a good shooter, took a wide-open jumper. The first time he took the shot, he used a little too much force and the basketball hit the basket and bounced off the board.

Big Ben hit the ball and it was caught by Zhou Quan. Malikros was behind him. He quickly turned left and stepped in between Duncan and Kurt Thomas. He made a layup from the basket. Scored the ball from the right.

The Spurs served and then called a timeout.

Kenny Smith said: "At 16:23, the SuperSonics scored 7 points in a row after a timeout. All three attacks were completed and they were already 7 points ahead. The Spurs had a Ginobili pass intercepted and Duncan missed an attack. Now the score is open.

现在铁拳王5投4中，三分球3投2中，10分5助攻1抢断的数据，得分已经追上了邓肯。”

Buckley said anxiously: "That kid Tony Parker can't guard against the Iron Fist King at all. He has no effect at all and he doesn't score a single point. He should be replaced."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "Who should I replace? Steve Kerr? He is the only Spurs backup guard who can still be used.

But when he was playing as a substitute for Michael Jordan in the Bulls, he was not in the eyes of the Iron Fist King. Can he guard the Iron Fist King, or can he score on the Iron Fist King? "

Buckley said anxiously: "He can contain the Iron Fist King and let Tony Parker play on the bench. Now it is just a waste of physical energy." Kenny Smith said disdainfully: "He just throws a few open balls. How can the Iron Fist King guard him? Iron Fist Wang will definitely guard against Ginobili, that Argentinian boy's breakthrough with the ball is a bit of a threat."

Barkley thought for a while and said with some disappointment: "Perhaps we can ask David Robinson to persist a little longer. With the Twin Towers on the court, the Spurs have a greater advantage inside. Now Duncan alone has no obvious advantage. Malik Rodman obviously helps." Not too busy."

"This is a series, and it's an away game. Facing a super team like the SuperSonics, the Spurs' winning rate is not high. It's not cost-effective to use David Robinson too much. It's not bad to fight at home." Kenny Smith said.

After the timeout, Popovich did not let David Robinson play, and the Spurs failed to regain the situation in the following time. At the end of the first quarter, at 22:32, the SuperSonics led by 10 points.

Zhou Quan played the first quarter, making 8 of 6 shots, 4 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 17 points in a single quarter. This is not much, but he sent 7 assists in one quarter. In his Thanks to the wonderful pass, everyone who played in the first quarter scored.

However, he did not contribute much on the defensive end. He only gained one steal and no blocks.

The SuperSonics only allowed the Spurs to score 22 points in the first quarter, of which Duncan, who played the entire first quarter, scored 14 points.

After David Robinson left the field, the Spurs were left with only one tower, and their inside advantage was weakened. The defensive effect of Ben and Kurt Thomas was obviously improved, inhibiting the Spurs' low attack.

In the next three quarters, the SuperSonics played steadily and did not allow the Spurs to find a chance to come back. They won the G92 game 107:1.

蒂姆邓肯全场45分钟，只休息了3分钟，31投15中，命中率48.4%，8罚5中，拿到了35分16篮板3盖帽。

David Robinson made 24 of 10 shots in 5 minutes. His shooting percentage was not bad, but he took too few shots due to his age and only scored 11 points.

Tony Parker was locked up by Zhou Quan and became a spectator on the court. He made 44 of 7 shots in 1 minutes and only scored 2 points and 4 assists.

Ginobili made 32 of 16 shots in 6 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 37.5%. The rookie's efficiency is not very high.

For the SuperSonics, Zhou Quan made 46 of 28 shots in 18 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 64.3%. The Spurs' defense against him completely failed. He made 10 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored 47 points, 21 assists and 3 assists. Rebounds, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 20+ assists in a single game for the fourth time in the playoffs.

47 points and 21 assists. This statistic does not seem difficult for Zhou Quan, but to others, this statistic is like a god. Coupled with the super high shooting rate, it is a super godly performance, and he can recover at the end of the game. When there was no hope, the Spurs' morale was obviously low.

In addition, Kurt Thomas scored 14 points, Mike Miller had 12 points, and Corey Maggette had 10 points. Four people scored in double figures.

After the game, Zhou Quan accepted an on-site interview.

"Tekken King, how do you evaluate this Spurs team?" a reporter from TNT asked.

"It's very good. The main lineup is also good, and the substitute lineup is also good. It's a pity that if David is a few years younger, he will be a greater threat to us." Zhou Quan said.

"Do you think the Spurs will be a threat to the SuperSonics in the series?" the reporter asked again.

"We will take this series seriously, we will not be careless, and we will try not to give them a chance." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"How do you evaluate Duncan's performance?" the reporter asked again.

"What data did he produce tonight?" Zhou Quan asked.

"35 points and 16 rebounds." the reporter said.

"A very strong performance, and very stable. If he didn't have such a stable performance, the Spurs would have been defeated."

After Zhou Quan commented, he thought for a while and added: "If he is by my side, we can at least guarantee ten consecutive championships."

An hour later, at the Spurs press conference, a reporter asked: "Tim, the Iron Fist King said that if you go to the SuperSonics, you will be guaranteed at least ten consecutive championships. Do you hope to play in the SuperSonics?"

Duncan was a little confused after hearing this question. He looked around and saw Popovich, whose face was turning dark quickly. He hurriedly said: "The Iron Fist King must be joking. He has never invited me."

After hearing Duncan's answer, Popovich's face seemed a little darker.

"Coach Popovich, how do you think the Spurs played today? In what aspects did the Spurs lose?" the next reporter asked.

Popovich thought for a moment with a sullen face and said: "Tim's performance was great. He performed as he should and deserves praise. Others were also good, and they showed their due competitive state.

As for our loss, it was not that our performance was too poor, but that our opponent performed too well. An opponent who scored 40+20 is worthy of our respect. "

"Tim Duncan almost hit 40+20 tonight." The reporter reminded.

"So I say Tim's performance is very good." Popovich nodded.

"So what changes do you think the Spurs need to make to win this series?" the reporter asked again.

Popovich said: "Whether it is the previous Bulls or the Lakers, including us, whether it is Michael Jordan, Kobe, or Tony Parker, our problem is that we cannot limit the Iron Fist King, and double-teaming is useless.

He can attack on his own, averaging 40+50+ points per game, and his shooting percentage exceeds [-]% or even [-]%.

He also passed the ball to find the openings of each teammate, put the ball into their hands, and then averaged 15+ assists per game. The combination of personal offense and assists was perfect.

He is a monster and a bug. To be honest, I don't know how to beat his team, and I don't know how to limit him.

We limited his performance on the defensive end through tactics, but we had no way to limit his offense because the ball was in his hands. "

Hearing Popovich's helpless words, many reporters felt sad and felt that the old man was really pitiful, just like Phil Jackson.
