God of NBA point guards

Chapter 52 vs. Black Lightning Kevin Johnson

On this day, Zhou Quan began to practice emergency stop jump shots.

He practiced for a while, and accidentally looked at the system, only to find that the system had a counter for his emergency stop jump shot training. He had practiced about 41 times just now, but the counter only showed [-] times.

"Is it because the shooting posture is not standard?"

This is the only explanation. If the posture is not standard, it will definitely affect the shooting quality. It seems that the requirements of the system are very strict.

In addition, strength training is also continuing, and the schedule is quite tight, which is also a test for his physical fitness.

That night, the Pistons defeated the Mosaic team without big dreams, 8 wins and 9 losses, and their winning percentage increased to 47%. They surpassed the Eagles and Heat in one fell swoop, and rushed into the top eight in the Eastern Conference, ranking No.8.

On the 3rd, the Pistons lost to the visiting Pacers at home, and the two sides fought with one win and one loss.

8 wins and 10 losses, but the Heat behind also lost, so the Pistons are still eighth in the Eastern Conference.

After the game, Zhou Quan completed the ten tasks assigned by the system.

这十场比赛，场均37.2分钟，14.6分5.1篮板8.2助攻2.1抢断0.5盖帽2.7失误2.1犯规。

系统的要求是13分5篮板7助攻2抢断0.5盖帽2.8失误2.2犯规的表现，他刚好完成。

In these ten games, the assist-to-turnover ratio has reached 3, which is the standard for an excellent point guard, and he thinks it should be maintained.

But the shooting percentage is a bit low, 41.7%, and the wave shooting king has full potential.

The reward is +1 for speed and +1 for agility, and now his speed has reached level 89 and agility is level 91.

In addition, he has entered three days of training for emergency stop jump shots. Substandard shots are not counted. On average, he can complete about 250 shots per day. This is the current limit, and any more will affect the state of the game.

Calculated in this way, each training session will take at least twelve days. If you add the time for rest and adjustment, it will take about half a month to complete once, and five consecutive training sessions will take two to two and a half months.

On the 4th day, Shaquille O'Neal, who had previously stated that he would carefully consider the draft issue, was interviewed by the media.

"I have seen some changes in the league. They are kinder to rookies. The Iron Fist has also received good treatment in the Pistons. This reassures me, so after careful consideration, I officially decided to participate in the 92 NBA draft."

"Great!"

After getting the news, even David Stern couldn't help but be very happy. The negative impact caused by the Pistons locker room brawl last time has finally been basically eliminated.

On the 5th, the Pistons lost again at home to the powerful Cavaliers, while the Heat also lost in a row, still eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Overnight, the Pistons rushed to Washington, where a back-to-back game was waiting for them.

On the 6th, the Pistons defeated the Bullets with 9 wins and 11 losses, still ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference.

On the [-]th, the Pistons returned to Detroit. After two days of rest, they rushed to Phoenix on the [-]th.

Zhou Quan is no stranger to this city in the desert, because the University of Arizona, Arizona State University and UCLA are both members of the NCAA Pacific Ten Schools Alliance. The University of Arizona is in Tucson, which is very close to Phoenix, and Arizona State University is in Phoenix. .

When he was in the Bruins, because he participated in both the basketball team and the ice hockey team, he had many opportunities to play here every season.

On the 10th, the home stadium of the Suns.

This arena is called the Veterans Memorial Hall, a very old arena.

The owner of the Suns, Jerry Colangelo, is building a new arena. The construction started in 88. It has been confirmed that it will be put into use in June next year. The sponsors have been found. American Airlines has become the title sponsor. The new arena is referred to as the American West Arena.

The Suns were third in the Western Conference last season and were eliminated by the Jazz in the first round. The current record is 12 wins and 9 losses, with a winning percentage of 57%.

In the visiting team's locker room, Zhou Quan was holding a piece of paper with Kevin Johnson's information on it.

Kevin Johnson, a black point guard, was the No. 87 pick in the first round in 7, with a naked height of 182 cm and a weight of 82 kg.

He averaged 20 points and 10 assists per game in the first three seasons. This honor is comparable to Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas. Only three of them have achieved this data in the history of the league. They have scored 20+ points in three consecutive seasons. 10 assists.

This season has 19.7 points, 10.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.5 turnovers. The assist-to-turnover ratio is 3.05, which is no worse than the previous three seasons, and it is still a peak performance.

Strong leadership ability, strong scoring ability, whether it is knocking off the score or threading the needle, omnipotent, excellent in offense and defense, extremely fast, known as black lightning, good at breaking through dunks, once completed on Olajuwon's head Dunks are the epitome of offensive basketball.

In terms of honors, two All-Stars, three All-NBA Second Teams, one Best of the Month, if not for being in the Western Conference with Magic Johnson, he would get more hard honors.

"Too strong! If it wasn't for the lack of hard honors, this strength can completely match Isiah's shoulders." He couldn't help but sigh.

Isiah Thomas had noticed it a long time ago, and said at this time: "Iron Fist, you are ready to be blown by him this time. This guy is really strong. Anyone who can compete with Magician and Jordan is not much worse than me. Now he Still in its prime."

Joe Dumas quickly said: "That's not necessarily the case, Iron Fist, you have your advantages, great strength, and it should be the most suitable way to force him."

Zhou Quan smiled and nodded, this is indeed a way.

He didn't start to understand Kevin Johnson just now. He started to study the opponent's information yesterday, but there was no good way. After all, the gap in hard power was there.

At this time, head coach Chuck Daly said: "The Suns averaged 112.1 points per game this season, ranking second in the Western Conference. If they rank in the Eastern Conference, they will be second only to the Pacers' 112.2 points. The offense is full of firepower."

"Coach, how many are we?" Zhou Quan asked.

Chuck Daly said: "96.5 points, the bottom of the league, even worse than the Mavericks and Nuggets, our three teams are also teams in the league with an average score of less than [-] per game."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Of course, our average points per game is also the first in the league. There are only the Bulls, Knicks, and us in the league. The average points per game of the three teams is within [-]%. The following, and all of them are Eastern teams, and no team in the Western Conference has lost less than [-] points.

But there is nothing to be happy about. At present, our average loss per game is 98.1 points, which is greater than the average score per game. This is our shame, and everyone should be ashamed. "

Including Zhou Quanzai, all the players couldn't help but bow their heads.

The assistant coach in charge of defense, Lelo Wilt, said: "Bill's retirement has made our defensive energy less, otherwise our defense would be better.

However, Iron Fist's defense on the perimeter has made up for Thomas' lack. Now that Thomas is back, the perimeter defense of our bench lineup can also be improved. In addition, Rodman plays the power forward position, and John Sely's defense is also very good. The overall defense It will rise by one piece, and our defense is still the first in the league. "

Daly shook his head and said: "Iron Fist and Isiah can indeed make our No. [-] position the best defensive position in the league. Rodman will also improve the quality of interior defense and rebounding, but Bill's deterrence at the basket is Irreparable, before they didn't dare, now they dare to hit our basket."

When he said this, not only him, Thomas, John Sely, Rodman, the old men of the bad boy army, all felt a burst of pride in their hearts.

Because he was referring to them, not just one, but the entire alliance.

At that time, with the Pistons who owned Lambir, no one dared to attack their basket presumptuously. If you dare to come in, I dare to play, because no one is willing to reimburse their career for an offense.

Of course, not all of them, there is such a person, such a team, who dare to challenge them, that person is Michael Jordan, and that team is the Bulls.

Every game between them and the Bulls was an epic duel, whether it was before or during the game, it was full of the killing spirit like a battlefield, and it made people excited.

It's a pity that they can't help but sigh, the first regular season game with the Bulls this season, without Lambiel and Thomas, has no previous taste.

Although Iron Fist is tough, he is not a bad boy after all, and he can't play the kind of game that wants to make Jordan see blood and kill people.

Because of the absence of Lambiel and Thomas, Jordan didn't have the murderous look he used to face the Pistons, and he was much more peaceful.

Daly continued: "Now our perimeter defense is stronger than before, so we can learn from the Bulls' style of play and make our defense stronger.

What does the Bulls rely on on the defensive end to control the loss below [-]%?Jordan and Pippen's perimeter defense, fast rotation and flanking.

When the opponent breaks through, they will not double-team the first time, they will deliberately slow down and let the ball holder rush in.

Only when the ball holder really goes in and encounters the inside defense, they will take the opportunity to go in and attack. At this time, the ball holder's vision is affected and he can no longer distribute the ball outward.

And if the opponent wants to split the ball before entering the paint area, the Bulls' outside line has not double-teamed at this time, and the offensive side's outside line will not get an open chance at all, so there is no chance to split the ball. "

Lei Luo Wilton said with some excitement: "It is true that we can learn from the Bulls' style of play. Our outside defense is stronger now. Joe, Isiah, and Iron Fist are all first-class outside defensive players. There are John and Dennis inside. We can Play like an iron barrel defense."

Chuck Daly said: "Now our main problem is offense. Iron Fist's personal offensive efficiency is a bit low. This problem cannot be solved quickly at present. We can only hope that Iron Fist can mature as soon as possible."

Everyone looked at Zhou Quan, and he didn't blush or feel embarrassed.

Rookie, not every rookie is a person like Magic Johnson and Jordan who is born with a system. He is just an ordinary rookie.
