Zhou Xuan's enthusiasm for defense now is like when he first learned to drive. He'd be depressed if he was asked to defend someone like Dundee Jones who couldn't play with the ball now, and it would have been better if Anthony and Billups had attacked.

He slowly dribbled across the half-court and watched his teammates' movements. Mentally calculated. Turyaav pulls out, Martin is very fast in pick-and-roll, hard to break through, and can also interfere with shots. Jones followed Jackson, the off-ball interference was very tight, and Azubuike played Anthony, and there was no advantage. If you take it apart one-on-one, the Nuggets' defense is impeccable.

Marion pulled to the bottom corner, and Nene stood one step outside the three-second zone on the right, a position that could protect the basket at any time and also go to Marion to shoot. The best way to create a gap is to burst to the basket and attract the interior defender to pass Marion.

"Empty cut!" Zhou Xuan shouted. He had a plan in mind to let Turyaf pull out to cover, and things were just as he thought, Martin changed guards. It's a conspiracy to tell the other person what he wants to do.

Turyaf immediately ran to the basket after blocking, and when he reached the low position on the left side, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his left hand, and then took the ball and took a step towards the middle. The big stride found space to pass the ball down the middle, and Martin didn't go fast and formed a bag with Billups in the high post. Nene has a lot of experience defending, and immediately went to the basket to follow Turiaf.

Anthony's defensive awareness on the right side is not so good, and he is still following Azubuuk. Zhou Xuan jumped high and sent the ball from the top of Martin's head to Marion in the bottom right corner with one hand with his right hand.

If he shoots, Martin can block, and his passing is very fast, creating a big open space that no one can make up for it.

Marion took aim, and although no one was guarding, he threw the ball out of the way like a "hot yam". If he doesn't win this opportunity, he can retire next season. Ball in! 5 to 0.

The Nuggets attacked, Billups passed Anthony again, and the starting lineup had only one super offensive point, Billups and Anthony on the side, ready to receive the pass and shoot. This season, he averaged nearly 20 points per game, almost all of them shooting three-pointers and driving fouls.

Anthony was on the right side, Nene pulled out to block Jackson, Turyaf switched defenses, two big guys almost blocked the low space, giving Anthony very little room to make a feint, he turned to the middle, stepped back and pulled away from Turyaf, and made a jumper.

Suddenly, Anthony bumped into a man behind him, and the ball was poked out of the air.

"Oh my God, Zhou Xuan helped to block Anthony!" Kenny? Smith shouted.

Zhou Xuan's understanding is too high, and after chatting with Kidd, he remembered a few words, when assisting those who are unlikely to pass the ball, be bold. He went straight to Billups at the top of the arc. Once Anthony turned to the middle, it was unlikely that he would be able to pass to the back and to the side, because he couldn't see anyone. So he jumped up and blocked with all his might, just as Anthony added a back, and there was a little stance, and the ball was knocked down.

And this block just hit the ball to Turyaf. As soon as Zhou Xuan landed, he ran to the frontcourt, and Jackson had already rushed to the frontcourt to face Billups.

Turyaf threw the ball to the front court to Zhou Xuan, who advanced quickly, and when Jackson reached the low post, he hoisted the ball in. Jackson turned around and relied on his height advantage to shoot with one hand, beating Billups to score. 7 to 0.

Anthony was slow to defend, and he still wanted the referee to prove that the ball was a foul. George? Carl was also dissatisfied with Zhou Xuan's sneak attack, but the big screen gave a replay, an undisputed block, as soon as Anthony turned around, Zhou Xuan immediately jumped up, jumping before Anthony.

Anthony was in a mood affected and once again singled Marion off.

The Warriors counterattacked, Zhou Xuan and Turiaf blocked, and this time it was Azubuike who went to the bottom corner, which attracted the Nene defense. Zhou Xuan first shook his shoulders to the right, then changed to the left side, pulled the ball up while bypassing Turyaf, and jumped to avoid Martin.

Martin scrambled to save a shot and Turiaf squeezed Billups open in the middle. Zhou Xuan hit the ground and passed the ball to the middle. Turyaf took the first step just in time to get the ball and took advantage of the momentum.

Nene hurried to the basket to defend, but Turyaf was a meat bullet chariot as soon as he rushed up, which was so easy to defend? He leaps up with the ball in both hands, and Nene is not afraid to be in the background. The two black men collided in the air, Turyaf dunked the ball away, and the referee blew the whistle and fouled.

Turiaf hit one of two free throws to make it 8-0.

Barkley said: "The Nuggets' previous offense was too simple, I wonder if there will be more routines this time." ”

The Nuggets changed their strategy, and Billups didn't pass the ball immediately to the frontcourt, but played a pick-and-roll with Nene to play a pick-and-roll. The Warriors didn't change the defense.

Marion blocked Billups from breaking through, and Zhou Xuan bypassed the defense and went around the front defense. Nene has a trait that he doesn't like to shoot, averaging less than 10 shots per game.

Martin covered Anthony, Billups passed an open cut, and Turiav switched positions to follow Anthony. The "melon" was blocked again from going deep into the basket. At this time, Nene went to the side, and Zhou Xuan followed by his side.

Anthony passed a high lob ball, Nene won it with one hand, and Zhou Xuan didn't jump to interfere, just followed, and then took a step back. Nene is 211CM tall, how can he put Zhou Xuan in his eyes, take the ball and arch a step back, but he didn't arch to anyone.

Zhou Xuan guessed what he might do, turned around with the ball and burst into the basket, it was unlikely, Turiaf was still under the basket. It was more likely to take a one-step jump shot, so Zhou Xuan took a big step forward after retreating, jumping up to interfere with the shot. Nene turned around and jumped, and Zhou Xuan jumped in front of him and stretched out his hand to interfere, which still gave him some psychological pressure.

Nene is not Yao Ming, turning and jumping shot is not a trick, the ball bounces out of the frame, and the rebound is obtained by Turiaf. The Warriors were fast-breaking, and Jackson received the ball to Azubuike, who missed a shot due to Jones' interference.

Barkley smiled: "Zhou Xuan is too crazy, he has defended Nene again, and today the Nuggets' two interior lines, as well as Anthony, are all deflated under him." ”

Smith said: "Billups didn't try to singled Zhou Xuan today. In the previous battle, he should have known that it was not easy for Zhou Xuan to think about it. If the Warriors have Marion at the beginning of the season, I think Zhou Xuan may be in the All-Defensive Team. The Warriors are starting to warm up for the playoffs, and they put a lot of emphasis on defense. ”

Barkley said: "I think that's the best lineup for the Warriors' defense, Turyaf can resist people in the low post, he can block, unlike Randolph who is only good at rebounding. Azubuke is very close to people defensively and more aggressive than Margeti. Needless to say, Jackson and Marion, Zhou Xuan's defense is also very good, without the two main players, their offense is weak, but the team still has a way to win. ”

The Nuggets finally scored a goal by Anthony, 8-2.

Zhou Xuan's defense still didn't leak people. Billups is also a defender who is good at defense, he set off a storm in his heart, and he feels that Zhou Xuan's strength has improved again, and the last time he played the Nuggets, Zhou Xuan's misplaced defense was still very bad. In the first battle between the two teams, Zhou Xuan also went to defend Jones.

Zhou Xuan was also heavily guarded, Martin was blocked in front, Billups switched positions to defend others, and Turiaf handed over to Nene in the air. The outside line was empty, and this time after Zhou Xuan passed to the bottom corner, the Nuggets quickly completed a round transition, and Jackson missed the jump shot under Billups' interference.

Both teams are defensive-oriented, with very quick rotations.

It's not hard to rotate, especially in joint defense, where you can defend your opponent by defending someone nearby, and if the ball carrier just doesn't like passing, it will definitely help. Approaching the playoffs, Morrow, Dolby, Watson and others, who are not good at defense, rarely play.

The stalemate between the two teams began, Zhou Xuan did not get an easy shot, and without Randolph, the rest of the Warriors could not attract the bag. Jackson scored a lot last season, but he traded high shots for high scores, and his efficiency was far from comparable to Randolph's. Marion is also a defensive player and has no advantage on the offensive end of the interior against Nene and Martin.

In the 8th minute, Ellis replaced Azubuk, and the Nuggets also replaced Jones with J.R. Smith, and the offense of both sides improved slightly.

At 25-21 in the first quarter, the Warriors led by four points.

In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan went off the court, and the Nuggets immediately played an offensive climax and overtook the score. Since he was a substitute and didn't have Zhou Xuan to feed the ball, Moro has been a little unable to find the north, and his performance is good and bad.

Nelson Sr. didn't want to use Collins, so he lined up the two-guard duo of Ellis and Watson, with Moreau as a small forward. Inside Anthony? Randolph and Brandon? Wright. This squad has a good offense and a poor defense. The inside line can't resist people, and Morrow can't guard against Kreza.

The Nuggets fielded Birdman Anderson, Balkman, Kreza, J.R. Smith, Anthony? Carter. This lineup is more suitable for positional battles, just enough to restrain the Warriors.

Ellis and Watson hit the iron continuously, and the elder Nelson felt helpless and had to ask for a timeout. He's disappointed in Ellis now, the ball quotient is too low, it's useless to say anything, just play the way he does.

In fact, Ellis is already changing, he has increased his breakthroughs, reduced his shots, and worked hard to make fouls, but the Nuggets defense shrank very much, standing on the three-second line to block, forcing him to only shoot outside the jumper, his three-point inaccurate, afraid of this kind of defense.

Nelson Sr. replaced Zhou Xuan, Marion, and Jackson to strengthen the offense and defense. Substitutes Ellis and Randolph Jr. continued to play.

The Nuggets didn't make any substitutions. Karl arranged tactics and said: "After the defender blocks and dismantles, he must avoid Zhou Xuan and hit him in a misplaced position." Don't just pick him out, JR he may be responsible for defending you, you don't force it, pass it to Rinas (Kreza), understand? ”

"Yes." JR Smith felt average today, shooting 1 of 4 after coming on the court, and under such conditions, Carl was most afraid of his wasted shots. And Kreiza had a very good hand today, scoring consecutive points on Morrow, and the Nuggets were ready to use him as the centerpiece of the second quarter.
