Zhou Xuan won Kidd with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists on 7-of-16 shooting, including 2 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws. Kidd made 2-of-5 shooting, including two three-pointers, and finished with six points, six rebounds and seven assists.

The Warriors' interior line was completely blown up. Turyaf had 4 points and 4 rebounds, Wright had 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Anthony had 4 points and 4 rebounds. Randolph had 10 points and five rebounds.

Mavericks Dampier had a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Nowitzki was invincible, with 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Warriors lost and lost in this game, and at 1:34 in the fourth quarter, Margeti and Bass had a violent collision, and both fell to the ground, and Margeti was subsequently diagnosed with a minor concussion.

The Warriors were given a break and returned to Oakland for two days to prepare for the game against the Nuggets on the road.

Two days later, something happened that made the whole Warriors laugh and cry. The strong Margeti actually suffered from concussion syndrome.

The main symptoms are headache, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, sensitivity to sound and light, fatigue, emotional instability, and insomnia. This must also be treated carefully, as symptoms often persist for months once the post-concussion syndrome persists for several weeks, and there may be no response to treatment.

To avoid Margeti becoming demented and out before the playoffs began, he had more than two weeks to rest and recover.

The Nuggets are one of the Warriors' important opponents this season, and the two teams have competed several times this year, all of which are in an incomplete state, and now the Nuggets are still competing with the Spurs and the Trail Blazers for third place, which means home court advantage and a good opponent in the playoffs.

The Suns, Jazz, and Hornets are still competing for a spot in the playoffs, and anyone could be the team that gets eliminated. The Suns wouldn't have had to worry, but since Stadameyer's retinal surgery, their record has also slipped as well.

The Jazz also suffered a heavy blow. Oku, like Stoudeyer, was unlucky enough to be poked in his right eye and will miss the playoffs. Without the main center who resists people inside and shoots three-pointers from the outside, the Jazz will be very difficult to play. They are on good momentum and are seventh in the West. The Hornets are the worst, full of wounded soldiers, and the record is still a lot ahead of the 10th-place Rockets, which is already a miracle.

Randolph and Margeti are injured, and there are almost no complete strong teams left in the West except for the Nuggets and Mavericks. Carl was relieved that he seemed to be one step closer to the championship. Of course, according to expert analysis, by the playoffs, Lakers Bynum, Warrior Randolph and others will all come back. The calves are now unwounded, the soldiers are strong, and it will take a lot of effort to break through in the west.

The Nuggets vs Warriors is the last battle between the two teams this season, and it has attracted attention, and they are also very likely to meet in the second round of the playoffs, so TNT broadcast it live. Chinese radio has to continue to pay attention to the Rockets and Nets, which are already hopeless in the playoffs.

The only consolation is that after Yi Jianlian changed to a substitute in the Nets, his data was slightly better than playing as a starter, and he dared to go to the low post to play singles. Yi Jianlian didn't say the reason in an interview, and people didn't know that Zhou Xuan chatted with him to play a role.

The players from both sides played, and Barkley said: "Although Zhou Xuan lost the game, his performance was remarkable, and he is not afraid of anyone now. Averaged 11 per game. 3 points 2. 8 rebounds and 11. 6 assists 1. 3 steals, 0. 2 blocks, the only weakness is that there are more mistakes, 3. 6, but his assist-to-turnover ratio is still impressive. Randolph and Margeti are out today, and I think it depends on him whether the Warriors can win or not. ”

Kenny? Smith said: "At the end of the regular season, most people can accept the argument that Zhou Xuan is the core of the Warriors, at least he is the core of the outside line, and the Warriors organization will immediately become chaotic as soon as they get off the court." And the Warriors' game against the Suns also proved that he is not inferior to Nash now, only his scoring ability needs to be improved. His defense is much better than Nash, and he is getting closer and closer to the history of the rookie assist king, and the only one who has the potential to catch up with him is Paul, and the gap between Delon and Nash is too big. ”

Nelson Sr. set up the defense, and this time he was ready to start Azubuuk, and Ellis continued to bring in the bench. Rhythm Zhou Xuan looked at it, leaving only Turiav alone in the inner line.

When arranging defensive tactics, Nelson Sr. said: "32 zone joint defense, Zhou at the top of the arc, Stephen (Jackson), Corunna (Azubuuk) on the side, today single defense Anthony, follow closely and don't let him shoot easily." The Nuggets are also a perimeter offense-oriented team, with Anthony rushing to the basket and Ronnie (Turiaf) and Sean (Marion) paying attention to the defense. ”

The tactic arranged by Carl is to defend Zhou Xuan as the main one, block him from breaking through, and hand over the inside line to Nene .

The rarest thing about the Nuggets this year is that Nene is relatively healthy, and the league's famous glass man finally has a chance to prove himself, and he is really doing well, with the highest shooting percentage in the league and good defense.

Zhou Xuan and Billups didn't say hello, they just glanced at each other, both expressionless, wanting to make a fuss about each other by misplace.

Nuggets starters, Billups, Dunday? Jones, Anthony, Martin, Nene.

Warriors starters, Zhou Xuan, Azubuike, Jackson, Marion, Turiaf.

Before playing the Nuggets, when Randolph didn't come, we also won one. As long as we can win this game without two big players, then we will have an absolute psychological advantage in the playoffs. On the contrary, they are the ones who have the psychological advantage. This game must be won, Zhou Xuan thought to himself when he came on the field.

He was confident of doing a good job at the top of the arc, mainly after misalignment, and in training he had already tried out the defensive methods he had learned from Kidd, elbowing them and then getting close. Jackson and Marion were not able to hit him his back, and his lower body strength was actually good training, and he used to exercise with Margeti often, which was more effective than fitness.

Although many people still say that Zhou Xuan's health is poor, it is not an irreparable defect, he is almost 20 years old, and he has improved in all aspects. It was bad before, because he was still growing his body, because he was poor and didn't eat well. After signing with the Warriors, his life changed, he could afford to eat whatever he wanted, and nutrition was not a problem at all.

The race is on. The Nuggets attacked first, the Warriors combined defense was in position, Zhou Xuan was waiting for Billups at the top of the arc, Billups observed, but in the first round, he did not pass to Anthony, but Anthony came to the perimeter to make a cover and blocked Zhou Xuan.

Martin and Nene were still in the low post, and they were responsible for drawing the defence and keeping Marion out to help. Billups was about to pass the ball to Anthony to hit Zhou Xuan in a misplaced position, but turned his head to find that Zhou Xuan had taken a defensive approach around the front, his back was close to Anthony, and he waved with one hand to interfere with the pass.

Anthony moved to the middle lane, and Zhou Xuan also moved, sticking to his body, almost lying in Anthony's arms.

As soon as he came up, Zhou Xuan began to challenge the referee's blowing scale. If this kind of physical contact blows him for a foul, then the game can't be played. A misplaced Anthony played casually, averaging 30 free throws per game. Zhou Xuan's stature happens to be the reason why he can make more bold defensive moves.

Close-fitting approach, he is learning Tony of the Celtics? Alan. In both games, he was tortured by this substitute macho man. Tony Allen is not only close, but also has a lot of small actions, but because he is not famous, he has not made the best defensive team. If it is a player vote, Zhou Xuan will definitely vote for him and let him go for a while.

Billups couldn't pass the ball directly and dribbled the ball out of the line, Martin pulled it out to block Zhou Xuan, and Billups passed it to Anthony. Marion changes the defense. Under the interference of the "hacker", Anthony burst into the basket with the ball, Turiav assisted in defense under the basket, the two completely blocked Anthony's shooting angle, and the pass could not be given to Nene on the left side, and Anthony passed the ball out of the perimeter.

Martin faced Zhou Xuan and took the ball with his back.

Come on! Zhou Xuan lowered his center of gravity when the two were about to approach, his left elbow was raised, and his right arm was crossed over his left arm. The position really worked, withstanding Martin's first blow. The referee didn't blow the whistle, Zhou Xuan was one size smaller than Martin, and this kind of action would not be blown casually.

The referees are all good people and don't need to gamble, and they can see through the news of the league who the president wants to praise and who he wants to make unlucky. Zhou Xuan is a hot star, and he can't blow penalties like rookies when he does this kind of action. didn't blow the first time, Zhou Xuan's right arm was raised, and his left arm was lowered, and the referee didn't have a reason to blow it.

Martin didn't lose his center of gravity for the first time, but the time to attack was running out, he had to play by himself, and then he took the ball with his right hand in the middle, forcibly turned to the left, and got up with the ball. Zhou Xuan counted his steps, took a step back and opened up the space. The moment Martin took the ball, his right hand smashed towards the ball.

His action is already a half-fist, and the NBA is not allowed to clench his fist and smash the ball, but the referee cannot see this kind of small action. Martin took the ball and bent his knees, and before the ball was raised, he was beaten down by Zhou Xuan - steal!

Zhou Xuan strode forward, took the lead in grabbing the basketball, quickly advanced to the front court, and threw off Martin, only Billups returned to the defense in place, 2 to 1 in the front court, Zhou Xuan took the ball and burst into the basket, holding the ball with both hands, attracting Billups' attention, and half-turned around and passed the ball to Jackson at close range during the run.

Jackson was not polite, jumped with all his strength in one step, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 0.

"Beautiful!" Jackson and Zhou Xuan clapped their hands and defended.

Barkley said loudly: "I never said that Chinese players play tough, even if Yao Ming is attacking in the low post, I think he is also dodging and playing, but now I must say that Zhou Xuan played an extremely tough defense just now!" ”

Smith also praised: "It's so beautiful, he first stuck Anthony, and then switched defenses to resist Martin, and the break was very decisive, he is by no means a player who is strong in attack and weak in defense." ”

Anthony singled Azubuuk, took a step and turned around for a jumper, the ball was deflected, and the rebound was picked up by Marion.

Marion seems to have returned to the period when the Suns averaged a double-double per game, and there were no teammates on the inside who were good at grabbing rebounds, he had to step up, and he could do it!
