No. 25, Palace of Auburn Hills.

At 7:30, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Suns: Mark West, Charles Barkley, Richard, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson

Pistons: Ronny Seikaly, Dennis Rodman, Orlando Ulrich, Joe Dumars, Zhou Quan

This game is a rare live broadcast for the Pistons in the United States and is broadcast live on ABC TV.

Commentator Bill Walton said with a smile: "One is first in the league, and the other is fourth in the Eastern Conference. Based on the ranking analysis, the Suns have a greater chance of winning.

But this is the first regular season game between the two teams this season, and the Suns lost to the Bulls and the Bulls lost to the Pistons, so who wins in the end depends on the result."

Lewis Williams smiled and nodded: "That's right. On-the-spot performance, neat lineup, restraint of lineup configuration, home and away factors, etc. are all factors that affect the result of the game. The analysis of paper strength is only one level.

, cannot determine the final result.

But, Bill, what do you think about Iron Fist preparing to participate in the San Francisco stop of the Golf All-American Tour during the All-Star Weekend?"

Bill Walton shrugged and said: "We only played golf for two days. Do you think Michael Jordan missed golf? As far as I know, he even sent a private plane to pick up Barkley and then play a round of golf together.

So this kind of thing is normal and just a pastime. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. The media is just hyping it up.”

In the player tunnel, the starting players of the two teams arrived one after another, waiting to play.

The current relationship between Zhou Quan and Barkley is worse than the first time they met. Last time in Los Angeles, they beat Barkley's good friend Larry Johnson in a boxing match, let alone friends. So after meeting, they just nodded to each other.

Didn't even say anything.

At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.

The center jumps the ball and the Pistons attack.

Zhou Quan passed the midline with the ball, ushering in a lightning matchup.

Lightning is now 6 centimeters shorter than him. There is an obvious height difference. The tonnage is only 82 kilograms. 8 kilograms is also a huge gap for a point guard. Therefore, the experienced man does not mean to defend personally, but retreats and defends.

, and does not intend to engage in confrontation.

But Zhou Quan took the initiative to seek confrontation. As soon as Lightning retreated, he immediately accelerated forward and directly bumped into him. If Lightning retreated again, he would form a crushing force. If he didn't retreat, he would be knocked away. He

He was even mentally prepared for a risky steal with lightning side flashes.

"This kid is definitely faster than last season."

Lightning immediately cheered up and did not dare to be careless.

He accelerated his retreat and reached the top of the arc in a few steps, but found that Zhou Quan's speed had already completely increased. He could no longer keep up with his retreat speed. If he retreated any further, he would be knocked over.

The next moment, Zhou Quan suddenly turned right to pass and broke through with the ball from the left.

Almost at the same time, Lightning moved to his left and Zhou Quan flashed to his right, intending to steal the ball when he could no longer retreat.

The two of them moved to the left and right, and instantly distanced themselves.

"brush!"

Zhou Quan reached the left end of the free throw line in two steps, faced Charles Barkley who was coming in, made a jumper, and hit a goal.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "Not many point guards can handle Iron Fist's crushing breakthrough. He should have grown a little taller and lost some weight after entering the league, but his speed has increased, so his impact may be higher than

We were even stronger last season.”

"The absolute power may have been reduced," Williams said.

At this time, the Lightning was racing along the right wing with the ball, and Zhou Quan was chasing after him on the left. His speed actually kept up with the Lightning, which he couldn't keep up with last season.

Of course, this is because he is running on empty and Lightning is holding the ball, so his absolute speed should still be a little slower than Lightning.

The Lightning rushed outside the three-point line, forced a change of direction inward, and looked like he was going to go to the basket. But just when Zhou Quan was catching up, he suddenly turned around and passed back, and the ball flew past Dan Marley behind him.

.

Dan Mulley jumped outside the three-point line on the right wing, caught the ball, and shot a jump shot. By the time Joe Dumars stopped to block the shot, the ball had already been released.

Zhou Quan did not stop, but rushed towards the basket.

"Bang!"

When the ball missed, he jumped high and competed for the rebound with Barkley, who also rushed to the basket.

Unfortunately, the two collided in the air, and the much larger Barkley knocked him away, but Barkley failed to grab the rebound. Rodman also rushed in and snatched the rebound away.

"Tekken is very active in grabbing rebounds. He is also one of the point guards with the most rebounds. If it weren't for him, Rodman would have no chance to grab the ball."

After Bill Walton finished speaking, he picked up the previous topic and said: "Lewis, you can compare the strength of Iron Fist's lower limb muscles between now and last season, which shows that his lower limb strength has been strengthened, and at the same time, his current aerial work

The great increase in ability shows that his core strength has also been enhanced.

So although he has lost weight, his absolute strength should not be reduced much, and at most his upper body strength is reduced."

"It's possible." Williams nodded.

At this time, Zhou Quan pushed steadily across the center line, immediately increased his speed, and once again created a crushing impact on Lightning, forcing Lightning to get out of the way.

Lightning retreated as quickly as possible, Zhou Quan quickly approached the top of the arc, suddenly swayed his shoulders from side to side, and started a level 90 one-handed feint breakthrough.

"Left or right?"

Lightning quickly stopped, stopping just short of breaking through, and the center of gravity of his upper body was slightly behind.

The next moment, without waiting for him to make a prediction, Zhou Quan took a step from the right. He quickly moved a step to the left, his center of gravity becoming increasingly unstable, and he was already half a beat slower.

"Bang!"

Under Zhou Quan's intentional confrontation, the two men's shoulders were linked together. Lightning, whose center of gravity was already unstable, leaned back on the spot and fell to the ground. Zhou Quan paused for a moment, then exerted his strength again, taking a sudden step.

past.

"It's sudden! The iron fist bursts with lightning!"

In the live commentary box, bearded John Rowes shouted excitedly.

As Zhou Quan passed the top of the arc, Barkley was still sitting under the basket. Center Mark West quickly rushed from the left waist to the free throw line, leaving Seka on the left wing empty.

Zhou Quan did not take credit and passed the ball to Seikali.

Ignoring the vacancies of teammates is not what a point guard should do. Once he always does that, he will lose the trust of his teammates, and his teammates will no longer work hard to play or run, because no matter how hard they try, they will not succeed.

As time passes, I will just watch him play one-on-five on the court.

Once trust is lost, it will cost more to regain it.

Sekali caught the ball, and Mark West quickly returned to defense, but before he could make it in time, he calmly made a jumper from the open position, flicked the ball, and hit the ball.

"Ronnie, you did a good job." Zhou Quan encouraged.

"It's you who passed it well." Seikali said happily.

"When you run out of space, you never have to worry about not catching the ball from me, unless there is a teammate with an open space closer to the basket." Zhou Quan laughed.

Seikali nodded excitedly. It was because of Iron Fist's passing that his shooting percentage with the Pistons was higher than that with the Heat, which made the media evaluate him better.

"0:4, Iron Fist shot and passed, helping the Pistons lead the Suns by four points. As team leaders, Barkley and the Lightning should step up and score at this time." Bill Walton reminded in the commentary box.

At this time, the Lightning made another furious move, advancing from the center to the top of the arc, but his right side was stuck by Zhou Quan, and he could only control the ball with his left hand.

Seeing that Rodman was already under the basket, he suddenly stopped, dribbled to the left and broke through. After getting rid of Zhou Quan, he rushed to the left elbow in two steps. Then before Zhou Quan could catch up, he hurriedly made a breakthrough. Stop the jump shot.

Zhou Quan jumped from the right side to block the shot, but it was too late, half a beat too late.

"brush!"

The water splashed and he hit a two-pointer.

"Bang!"

Looking back, Joe Dumars held the ball in one-on-one defense against Dan Marley, who was known for his fierceness. He reluctantly took a shot and failed to hit.

In order to get stuck, Rodman and Barkley were entangled under the basket, neither of them could jump up, and the rebound was snatched away by Sekali.

"Bang!"

After receiving the ball, Sekali made a small throw over Mark West's head, but failed to hit.

"mine."

"mine."

Barkley and Rodman were fighting under the basket, with their arms hooked together. Not only did they miss the rebound, but they both fell to the floor.

"Bang!"

At this time, Zhou Quan rushed in from the free throw line and completed a flying dunk. At the same time, he dunked Mark West under the basket.

“Iron Fist’s awareness of the second attack is very strong.” Bill Walton praised.

On the court, Zhou Quan pulled Rodman up and encouraged him: "Dennis, you did a good job, vent your energy on Madonna on Sir Barkley, he will satisfy you." "

Barkley is as disgusting as eating a piece of shit. Damn Iron Fist. If I am satisfied with my wife, I will not be satisfied with damn Rodman.

Rodman shook his head and said with a proud smile: "He's not even as good as one of Madonna's toes."
