God of NBA point guards

Chapter 55 Criticized by the Coach
The next moment, he made a sudden stop and stopped in front of Andrew Lang.

The moment the ball was pulled up with the right hand, it was accelerated and pressed down again. With a bang, the basketball exploded into the ground, passed through the crotch, and disappeared behind Andrew Lang.

"ball!"

John Sely at the basket has been prepared for a long time, because in previous games and training games, Iron Fist often passed such crotch-piercing balls.

He heard the sound of a short exploding ball, and then an orange basketball bounced off the floor and hit his chest in an instant. He immediately clasped his hands together and caught the ball very comfortably.

"boom!"

The next moment, while the figure was violently rising, there was a violent basket explosion sound.

"Tekken, you pass it so well!"

After succeeding, John Sely shouted at Zhou Quan very excitedly.

"Remember, be ready to catch the ball at any time, I can make you 20+ in a single game!" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

The Suns attack.

Kevin Johnson still advanced rapidly. This time he didn't get rid of Zhou Quan and was blocked in time. The Suns' offense turned into a positional battle.

Coming to the frontcourt, in order to avoid being blocked by Zhou Quan again, he still used Tom Chambers' pick-and-roll to break through with the ball.

But this time it was a positional battle. Rodman switched defenses in time and blocked him, forcing him to choose to pass back to Tom Chambers.

However, Zhou Quan had already expected that in the face of Rodman's defense change, Kevin Johnson would probably choose to pass back and let Tom Chambers hit him in a misplaced position.

He and Tom Chambers have a height difference of [-] centimeters. Once Chambers catches the ball, he can form a very obvious dislocation advantage. If Kevin Johnson can't break through, it is impossible to miss this opportunity.

"Snapped!"

Therefore, under the pre-judgment, he stepped ahead of Tom Chambers in time and intercepted the ball.

"Clap clap clap..."

For this defense, Chuck Daly nodded and applauded for encouragement.

Pistons attack.

Zhou Quan still launched an attack with the ball from the left wing.

When he advanced one step beyond the right waist in the paint area, he saw that Andrew Lang and Tim Perry didn't come out of the basket. It was because he was afraid that he would pass the ball into the basket after they made it up like last time. Down?
And this time, Kevin Johnson also learned the lesson of last time.

He didn't die, and when he approached the paint area, he immediately took half a step. Without physical contact, Zhou Quan had no chance to use his strong confrontation ability to knock him away, so as to get enough opportunities to break through and make shots.

Zhou Quan saw that John Sely and Rodman were just behind Andrew Lang and Tim Perry. They were close together, and there was no room for passing the ball at all.

"These two idiots!"

He couldn't help cursing secretly, then suddenly took a step back from the dribble, and then shot a jumper.

Kevin Johnson quickly took a step forward, took off and blocked the block, but missed the shot, but it affected Zhou Quan's shot angle.

"boom!"

Short, the rim hits the rim and rebounds.

"mine."

Rodman jumped up instantly as if a spring was installed under his feet, caught the ball, and threw it to Zhou Quan before it landed.

After Zhou Quan took the shot, he took two steps back, distanced himself from Kevin Johnson, and caught the ball just in time.

At this moment, he saw that because of grabbing rebounds, the four people under the basket were no longer as close as before, and there was some space.

Seeing that John Sely had a chance to catch the ball, he immediately pushed forward with one hand, and the basketball flew into the paint.

"So high!"

Tim Perry on the outside took a jump, and although the ball was over the top and falling, it was still far from it.

Andrew Lang next to him also jumped, but he didn’t touch it either.

The ball passed over the two and continued to fall. John Sely, who was two feet behind the two, also took off. He caught the ball at the right height, then turned around and easily put the ball into the basket.

"Pretty!"

The smiling assassin sitting on the bench couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The pass was high, just past the two defenders in front, and passed to John Salley, calculated with great precision.

If it was higher, John Sely couldn't touch it, and it went straight out of the baseline. If it was lower, it was intercepted by the two defenders in front.

"This guy has four assists, and it's not even half a quarter." Mark Aguirre next to him whispered.

Isiah Thomas was in no mood to speak, the better Zhou Quan performed, the less chance he would return to the main position.

Although he gave up the main force and the core, he still has some luck in his heart. If Zhou Quan can't play, maybe the management will consider trading Zhou Quan and let him lead the Pistons again.

But right now, there should be little hope of that.

Aguirre glanced at the silent Thomas, and shook his head secretly. If it was the smiling assassin two years ago, with still vigor, even if he was beaten to death by an iron fist, he probably wouldn't bow his head, would he?Now Thomas is no longer a smiling assassin, but a smiling angel.

10:3, the Suns attacked, and Kevin Johnson made a pause gesture after receiving the ball.

"That kid is good at passing the ball, and it's very difficult for me to defend against it."

Back on the bench, he frowned and said: "The offense is really not very good, but the assist ability is excellent, very good."

He didn't want to praise Zhou Quan, but he sent 4 assists in less than half a quarter, that's all he could say.

He can limit Zhou Quan's offense, but he can't limit the opponent's pass.

Zhou Quan's wingspan is excellent, his hands are big, and the quality of one-handed passing is very high. He can't support the opponent and can't destroy his center of gravity. The opponent can pass as he wants, and risky steals are not his defensive style.

If he defends close, he will be knocked away again, allowing Zhou Quan to break into the paint area, and after getting close to the basket, he can pass and shoot, which is even more troublesome.

Head coach Simmons said: "Then stare at other people so that his teammates can't get open opportunities, and force him to shoot outside the paint area. If he breaks in, double-team him."

Kevin Johnson nodded, that's all he could do.

Next, the Suns replaced Jeff Hornacek, who was in mediocre form today, and replaced him with Lei Gongdan Marley, who will defend Zhou Quan.

Dan Marley is a swingman with a shoe height of 198 centimeters and a tonnage of 98 kilograms. He is not slow. He can keep up with Zhou Quan. He is good at confrontation and has a very strong defense. He is good at close-fitting entanglement defense. Jordan has some headaches against him.

Dan Marley's defense against Zhou Quan is indeed better, but in terms of strength, he is still not as good as Zhou Quan when the tonnage difference is only three kilograms. Zhou Quan can still carry him and run into the paint. But it's more difficult.

In this way, like Kevin Johnson, Dan Marley can limit Zhou Quan's offense, but cannot stop his passing.

首节还剩2分钟，周权被换下，10分钟之内3投1中，得到了2分1篮板6助攻1抢断1失误的数据。

Although the personal offense was considered a failure, his assists and Rodman's 6 rebounds in the first quarter helped the team gain a larger lead, 27:18, leading by 9 points.

The two sides continued to compete in the bench lineup. The smiling assassin Thomas and Mark Aguirre joined forces to defeat the combination of Hornacek and Dan Marley. At halfway through the second quarter, the Pistons had already led by as many as 15 points.

In the end, the Pistons defeated the Suns by 17 points, which is considered a big victory.

Zhou Quan played 34 minutes. The Suns' perimeter defense was really good. He made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 8 points including free throws. However, he sent 14 assists in the game, setting a career assist record high.

John Sely played very excitedly today and frequently received wonderful passes from Zhou Quan. In 34 minutes, he made 9 of 7 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 19 points. As a role player, his offensive performance today has surpassed normal level.

He also contributed two big hats on the defensive end, one of which was given to Kevin Johnson, participated in assisted defenses 11 times, and played a fierce defense.

Of course, this is also related to the weak internal strength of the Suns. The main center Andrew Lang is only a role player. Today, he made 36 of 6 shots in 2 minutes and only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds with free throws.

Rodman grabbed 23 rebounds again today, which was one of the key reasons for the Pistons' victory.

微笑刺客替补上场24分钟，11投5中，三分球3投1中，3罚2中，轰下了13分。

Aguirre, who partnered with him, scored 10 points. The two jointly contributed 23 points on the bench, which was also the key reason for the team's victory.

Back in the locker room, Zhou Quan was criticized. Chuck Daly thought that his shots were too few, only a fraction of what he should have shot.
