Chapter 200 [Full of Loopholes]
Kenny? Smith said: "Zhou Xuan opened the game with three assists in a row, and the Knicks' defense was too lax. ”
"But the warriors can't defend their opponents." Webb said expressionlessly.
I'm here to discuss the data with you, not the winner or loser, and it doesn't matter if the two teams win or lose. Smith's mood is very complicated, and the music that best fits his mood is Sun Nan's "Come back soon, I can't bear it alone......" Webber is too boring, and the commentary is far less interesting than Barkley. It was also a pleasure to listen to Barkley's before the game. He really didn't want to partner with Webb.
Barkley has not yet returned from a lawsuit for drunk driving, and it is a pity that he will miss the All-Star break.
The Knicks attacked, Ellis followed the ball very tightly, Dujon did not pass to Crawford, he and Harrington blocked and dismantled, and then passed the ball to the perimeter. As soon as Harrington got the ball, Zhou Xuan immediately stepped forward to interfere. Harrington had a high shot, he couldn't cover it, and he hit a three-point shot from the left. 6 to 10.
The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball to the right side, David Lee defended Randolph in the low post, Margety pulled to the periphery, Harrington defended, at this time Zhou Xuan had an idea, if Margeti and Randolph played blocking and dismantling, I don't know how effective the road was, but both of them stood still, and he couldn't notify.
Zhou Xuan hung to Randolph and Azubuuk was in the bottom corner, and the three formed a triangle and created a singles opportunity for Randolph. Randolph took two steps with his back to David Lee, turned and hooked a shot, and the rebound was picked up by Crawford, who returned to the interior.
You can't play like that in the next round. Zhou Xuan knew that David Li had always relied on his eyes to prevent and dismantle, but his physique was placed in the low position, which could play some role.
The Knicks attacked again, and both interior lines pulled out again, completely giving up the low-post offense. Whoever Margeti is with, the other side will block and dismantle. Seeing that Randolph was about to be passed again, Azubuuk let go of Gallinari and blocked Crawford. Crawford didn't force the shot, passing the ball to Gallinari on the flank, who hit a 45-degree three-point jumper on the left side and hit the ball again. 6 to 13.
The Knicks hit their third three-pointer of the game, and the Warriors home fans gave some applause. The Knicks' offense is really good. Gallinari started the game without being reused, and now he is gradually replacing Quentin? Richardson's location. The countdown to the departure of "Ah Q" has begun.
Zhou Xuan received the baseline ball and shouted to Randolph: "Zach, pull it out and play." ”
After half-time, Randolph pulled out to cover, Margeti cut inside and went low, he was quicker, and like Nelson Sr. said, it's very difficult for opponents to defend him in all three positions. Zhou Xuan relied on Randolph to cover the breakthrough, Gallinari blocked Zhou Xuan's way, and something magical happened, David Lee followed the off-ball Azubuuk to the bottom corner, and Margeti was completely empty under the basket.
Zhou Xuan hoisted the ball high, and Margeti dunked the basketball with both hands, which was very easy. 8 to 13.
Kenny? Smith laughed; "What kind of defense is this, David Lee can't block and dismantle well, and he can't directly empty the inside line."
Webber put on a face and said lightly: "David Lee's defense is really too bad. ”
Smith was a little devastated, and he wanted to ask Webb why don't you complain about it, isn't David Lee's defensive slots enough? He shouted in his heart: Charles, I miss you so much. Get rid of this guy who can't even complain, and find me a partner of any kind.
There was a lot of dissatisfaction with the new pairing, and since Barkley took a break, TNT radio ratings have dropped significantly. There are also predictions on the news that TNT wants to get rid of Barkley and terminate the contract with him, which is simply impossible, and ESPN will immediately poach people, and then ESPN's boss will wake up laughing in his dreams.
The Knicks still played very simple after half the court, a block and then a single, David Lee misplaced Ellis, did not shoot in the case of the opponent's interference, and distributed the ball to the bottom corner, Gallinari had an obvious height advantage of 208CM, dribbled into the three-point line, and made a quick stop to shoot out, and Randolph won the rebound. The Warriors' counterattack came.
Randolph passed to Zhou Xuan first, and Zhou Xuan quickly passed through the half court and handed it to Ellis. David Lee quickly returned to the defense and deserted again, heading towards Margeti on the right, who he felt was more threatening, but Ellis was the one with the ball in his hand and scored an easy layup. 10 to 13.
The Knicks' interior defense was a mess. However, David Lee's offensive ability is unquestionable, and he and Crawford blocked and cooperated, misplaced to squeeze Ellis, and turned to the basket for a layup. 10 to 15.
Easley was a little depressed, he wanted to work with a strong guard, and although he wasn't a good playmaker and played at the No. 2 position, he wanted the team to function like the 76ers did. The 76ers defend the opponent at the No. 2 position Snow, and the guard at the ball guard is Iverson, and he wants to play the role of Iverson. But old Nelson asked Zhou Xuan to defend against Du Hong, and the difficult Crawford was handed over to him. He forgot that it was his job.
When Jackson returns, Ellis' playing time is bound to be reduced. Nelson Sr. has already seen that Ellis plays the starter, and he doesn't know how to help the team win, and the most suitable role for him is the sixth man, of course, if the team has a strong guard who is good at defense, such as Davis. It's a pity that the warriors are gone.
Zhou Xuan took half the court, Ellis asked for the ball on the periphery and wanted to return one, Zhou Xuan did not give it to him, but played with Randolph again, bypassing Du Hong to bring it inside. Harrington was defending Margety, and David Lee was still standing on the three-second line, not making a save, trying to defend against Randolph.
Zhou Xuan discovered a mistake that David Lee often makes. Beginners often stare at the ball without marking people, and run with the ball. David Lee is the opposite, he always thinks about people, no matter where the ball is. Zhou Xuan saw that he didn't come up, and he jumped in one step inside the three-point line on the left side. DU HONG IS 185CM TALL AND HAS NO OUTSTANDING BOUNCE POWER, SO HE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT THE THREAT FROM THE SIDE AT ALL. Bend your knees, jump up, just as easy as you do in training, brush! Hollow into the net. 12 to 15.
The Knicks are still a pick-and-roll for Crawford and David Lee.
Last season, Crawford and Randolph both played star stats in the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, and the partner became David Lee, who played very simply, if he passed the bag to attract the pack, otherwise Crawford would play by himself. Ellis doesn't press enough on the off-ball. It's always easy for opponents to get basketball, and if Ellis is a little more motivated in that regard, he can play better. But he hasn't opened up yet, and he always feels like a star, and an offensive star.
As soon as Crawford got the ball, it was immediately a combination of man and ball. His ability to dribble the ball is better than Kobe's, which Zhou Xuan has personally experienced. Margeti also struggled to defend after the block, Crawford changed direction to open up the distance after consecutive crotch dribbles on the right side, and made a sudden stop jump shot close to the baseline, avoiding Marghetti's block, but the shot was a bit big and deflected. Randolph grabbed another rebound in the backcourt. Randolph passed it to Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan handed it to Ellis.
Ellis finally got his chance to show himself and singled Harrington with the ball. After dribbling under the crotch, he changed to the left side, and Harrington knew that he couldn't keep up with his speed, so he directly pulled someone to foul.
The two sides played quickly and cleanly, and this was the first foul and no free throws. Ellis' possession of the ball was gone.
The throw-in was sent, Azubuike gave it to Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan relied on Randolph to cover the breakthrough in the middle, passed the ball before David Lee came up, and sent it directly to the basket. On the side, Azubuke shook off Gallinari's air cut with the impact, caught the ball to attract Harrington's defense, and passed to the right side, Margeti got an open shot and scored a jumper. 14 to 15.
The Knicks attacked, and when Crawford got the ball on the periphery, Zhou Xuan suddenly stepped forward to wrap up and encircled with Ellis, blocking the space for Crawford to break through head-on.
Crawford passed to the side, and Zhou Xuan went to chase Du Hong. After playing 5 minutes, Dujon has not yet shot the ball, and his shot from outside the three-point line is still off despite no defense. David Lee and Randolph were in a tight position, and Gallinari rushed under the basket to grab the rebound.
Margeti didn't get back in time with Harrington on the perimeter, believing too much in Randolph and wanting to play a quick attack. As a result, Gallinari scored a second attack. 14 to 17.
This situation is relatively rare, Gallinari is a typical European style player, with a well-rounded skill set and a knack for shooting from the perimeter, grabbing rebounds is not his forte, but today against Azubuike, he grabbed two frontcourt rebounds. It's also to blame old Nelson, the only thing that wasn't emphasized before the game was who was responsible for grabbing rebounds with Randolph today.
The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan led the half, his teammates all pulled out, Azubuke and Margeti were on the baseline, and Ellis stood on the periphery again. Zhou Xuan told Ellis about the empty cut of the bottom line, he obviously forgot, he always wanted to take the ball on the periphery and attack with the ball, this is a habit, not easy to change. Zhou Xuan took the ball two steps outside the three-point line, waved his hand at Ellis, signaled him to cut into the air, and then took it to the right.
Ellis and Margeti covered without the ball on the right side, Harrington didn't switch defenses, and David Lee stood under the basket and didn't get out. Just then, Randolph ran to the middle.
Zhou Xuan analyzed the situation, if the bottom line is passed, Ellis will face David Lee, the middle lane Randolph is almost empty, and only Du Hong can make up for the defense. He took the ball to the three-point line and turned around sharply, and distributed the ball to the middle. Dujon turned his head to see that Randolph was empty, and he didn't defend it, and his defensive enthusiasm was not as good as when he was with the Bulls, and David Lee was still standing stupidly under the basket.
Randolph adjusted and hit an easy jumper. 16 to 17.
Both sides were super efficient, and the defense was full of holes.
Kenny? "It's definitely another game with more than 120 or even 130 points," Smith said. ”
Soon Smith found an even bigger surprise in the data, Zhou Xuan handed out five assists in three minutes, and just assisted Randolph for the sixth, and there is still plenty of time, he may have a terrifying double-digit assist in a single quarter.
