In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 7 assists, and Stoudamayre had 8 points and 4 rebounds. The Knicks led 32-27.

In the second quarter, the Knicks were replaced by Douglas, Fields, Azubuuk, Evans, and Pekovic.

In terms of individual ability, Pekovic is better than Anderson, but D'Antoni prefers three points, so he is allowed to come off the bench, on the other hand, in order to let him rely on his physical advantage to bully the opponent's backup center.

The Bulls also sent a white strong man on the inside, who was bigger than Noah. Is he the Turkish center Omir, who just landed in the NBA this year? Asik. The Bulls power forward is also a muscular man, Tate? Gibson. Also, Ronnie? Brewer and Korver, two Jazz veterans, are swinging on the outside. The point guard is CJ Watson, a libero poached by the Warriors.

The strength of the Bulls' bench is not weak, although Watson does not have many opportunities to play in the Warriors and has poor organizational skills, but his shooting ability Zhou Xuan is clear, and the convulsive guards, not to mention the Jazz, were important rotations in the past.

The Bulls used a compression defense to limit the Knicks' interior and quickly tied the score. The Knicks only played well on the perimeter, and his poor playmaking skills directly wasted the Knicks' two outside three-pointers, and Pekovic couldn't receive passes after grabbing the position.

D'Antoni was ready to use a two-guard to add to the impact, bringing on Evans quickly for Anderson. In his mind, an inside line that can't shoot is not a good inside line.

Anderson found "Bole", and Evans' playing time could only be significantly shortened. "Rebounding maniacs" can play a big role on the defensive end, for which Malone also has some disagreements with D'Antoni, he believes that people who can defend should play more, instead of rotating on the three inside, and Mozgov's 216CM big man is also a waste if he doesn't play.

Zhou Xuan listened to the coaches' conversations, and supported Malone in his heart, playing Bulls defense is more important than offense. With him, he can rely on blocking, running, and air cutting to find opportunities under the premise of solid defense, and there is no need for all five people to shoot. And Pekovic and Evans are not suitable to play together.

In the second half, Zhou Xuan and others appeared one by one, attacking you back and forth, and the score did not open. As soon as Zhou Xuan was on the line, Pekovic was happy, he could comfortably receive the pass in the low position, and the simple high hanging was actually very knowledgeable, and the opponent must be careful to go around, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.

The Bulls are in a bit of trouble, looking at the low post defense and anti-maneuver ability, Boozer is not as good as Asik, and his height is also a cut shorter than Pekovic, allowing opponents to score consecutive goals. Thibodeau knows how important it is to have a reasonable line-up and will not let Asik and Noah play together. Noah didn't go on, and Boozer's defensive defenders didn't do a good job of breaking through.

After bringing in Ben Wallace, the Bulls uniform team made another loss-making deal, with Thibodeau only letting Boozer play about 30 minutes per game, leaving the rest of the time to Gibson. He was too unhappy with the defense of "The Anti-Bone Boy".

At halftime, the Knicks trailed by two points at 58-60. Zhou Xuan had 6 points, 10 assists and 1 steal.

Yang Jian said: "Just after the half, Zhou Xuan's assist was double-doubled again, and his state was to rush to the assist king." ”

Su Qun said: "After his comeback, his assist statistics have been very stable, and his breakthrough is not as sharp as last season, so it will probably take time to adapt, and I believe it will be better in the future." ”

Yang Jian smiled: "The Knicks are stronger than imagined this year, and if they win again today, they will win three in a row." ”

ESPN is also evaluating the game.

Van Gundy said: "After Zhou Xuan joined, the Knicks' offense was very methodical. In the past, they had a rhythm and could play as fast as they could. Today against the Bulls, they were almost all positional battles. ”

Joan Barry smiled: "The Bulls are very fast inside, it is not wise to compare speed, Zhou Xuan passed Pekovic in the second quarter was correct, and D'Antoni finally got the hang of it." ”

D'Antoni is enlightened, he just simply trusts Zhou Xuan, the rhythm on the field is controlled by Zhou Xuan, and his job is to arrange individual tactics for the stars, how to cover, run, change positions, etc. The biggest difference from the previous two seasons is that the Knicks' positional battle has changed a lot.

Thibodeau emphasized defense at halftime and put Boozer on the bench, and in defence, Boozer always played soy sauce and Gibson was much more courageous. Thibodeau's first goal is to make the Bulls' defense a top-five in the league and win by defense.

D'Antoni emphasizes offense and does not plan to send Mozgov and Evans on the court, but rotates the interior trio. The outside line hesitated, but let Douglas play.

Last season, he was very superstitious about double guards, thinking that the offense would be sharper, and he felt that Douglas and Zhou Xuan could defend hard, and there would not be too many defensive holes. The main reason is that the opponent Noah is not good at shooting. It's not much of a threat to pull to the perimeter out of position, which is the Bulls' most obvious weakness. And Thibodeau will not replace Noah, what he admires most is this rough brother who can defend five positions.

As soon as Douglas came up, Zhou Xuan was a little more relaxed, he didn't need to control the ball for half the court, he just ran to the front court to receive the pass. And Zhou Xuan attracted Rose's defense and let Douglas face Brewer, which was tantamount to misalignment.

Zhou Xuan went to the front court and Anderson to cover without the ball, dodged Rose and prepared to receive the ball, but Douglas didn't pass, he dribbled past Brewer with a crotch, shook a little space, and handballed outside the three-point line. 61 to 60.

In the next round, the Bulls Lore Deng couldn't score a jumper, the Knicks counterattacked, and Douglas brought it to the frontcourt, grabbed a three-pointer, and scored again. 64 to 60.

Brewer used to be a defensive powerman in the Jazz, but his specialty is not a speed-defending guard, especially not a convulsive type like Douglas who dares to shoot with a little space. Today happened to be the time for Douglas to have a jerge.

After a couple of passes from the Bulls, Brewer missed the jumper. Noah grabbed the rebound and scored a basketball. 64 to 62.

For Brewer's current state, Thibodeau felt helpless, and it was declining too quickly. When he was with the Jazz, Brewer was still like a good role player, but now he doesn't shoot accurately, his defense is poor, and the only thing that hasn't changed is his poor shooting posture. Dig him up to the bull with a high salary, and lose it.

The Knicks put Anderson on the court to partner Stoudamire, and the protection of the interior would drop a level. Anderson stuck under the basket and let Noah rush in, and he was replaced by Pekovic, who was sure to be watching from outside the three-second zone.

Anderson didn't feel very good today, missing three three-point shots from the outside. The Bulls took the opportunity to overtake the score with goals from Lore Deng and Rose.

Instead of bringing on Evans to strengthen his defense of the defender's breakaway, D'Antoni replaced Anderson with the slower-moving Pekovic.

The coach's on-the-spot adaptability can often make or break a game, and D'Antoni was good when he arranged the run-and-bomb lineup, but now he has a group of positional talent at his disposal, and he is not used to it. In fact, since taking over the Knicks, he has not shown the strength of the best coach and has been grinding in.

Bull Gibson is hard against Pekovic on the inside, he is shorter, but he has a lot of strength, and he is more active than Boozer, plus the joint defense compression defense, Pekovic is not good at receiving the ball, and he will fall into the bag after receiving the ball. His poor passing awareness couldn't get the ball into place, and one ball was too hard for Douglas, straight out of the touchline, and almost poked Douglas's fingers.

The weaknesses of Stadamire and Pekovic's poor blocking and pick-and-roll were also exploited by opponents, and Rose relied on teammates to cover and score three consecutive pull-up jump shots, and D'Antoni was forced to call a timeout.

At this time, D'Antoni made another speechless substitution, Mozgov came on and replaced Pekovic, but not Evans.

Last year, the debate about "D'Antoni" not being able to hire people has not stopped. Some people are obviously playing well and their hands are hot, but he immediately replaces them. Evans can play when he comes on, but how much time does De Antoni give him? Just play for a while in the second quarter, unless the score is leading, he doesn't want this guy. Now that the opponent is making a walking jump shot and rushing into the interior to make a layup, he still doesn't consider strengthening the defense, but instead switches to a rookie center.

Yang Jian sighed: "D'Antoni's defense is like this, there is no way." I think Evans and Azubuck should be brought on at this point, and Fields should not be played. ”

Fields is another phenomenal player for the Knicks, and the reason why D'Antoni likes to use him is that he can shoot three-pointers and is taller than Azubuike, but looking at defensive ability, it must be Azubuike who wins.

Zhou Xuan was not satisfied with D'Antoni's arrangement, and it is estimated that other people have similar ideas, probably only Mozgov, who got the opportunity, has no opinion.

After all, he is the head coach, his employment arrangement cannot be questioned casually, Zhou Xuan and D'Antoni have a tacit understanding, and they can decide to change people by making eye contact, but it is not a critical moment, and D'Antoni will not consider asking Zhou Xuan's thoughts, so he can only make mistakes and fight for his life.

Noah single-handedly stared at Mozgov, but he was also able to make up for it. Looking at Noah's defensive skills, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but applaud in his heart, and the choice was extremely correct. He is the most suitable person to cooperate with Stoudeyer, he moves fast, can not only block the defender from breaking through, but also can return to the interior in time to interfere with the shot, he does not pursue blocks, but only interferes, and it is difficult to lose position.

Mozgov is tall and slow to cut into the air, and once blocked, he will only catch the ball himself and try to shake out space to barely shoot. In the big man, his skills are good, but when the Bulls' defense shrinks, he will only get himself caught in the bag with the ball. And his ability to respond is not very good, passing to nearby teammates is okay, and he can't directly create opportunities.

Zhou Xuan was strictly guarded on the outside, he just came back and played not long ago, he was still adapting, he didn't attack much with the ball, he played soy sauce in the third quarter, didn't score, 6 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal in the third quarter.

Douglas hit three three-pointers and played on the fast break. He had 13 points and 2 assists in the first quarter.

The Bulls played well from the outside, with Korver hitting two three-pointers, Rose scoring 13 points in the quarter, and Gibson having two beautiful dunks.

84-91, the Knicks trailed by seven points heading into the fourth quarter. In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 7 assists, and Stoudamayre had 8 points and 4 rebounds. The Knicks led 32-27.

In the second quarter, the Knicks were replaced by Douglas, Fields, Azubuuk, Evans, and Pekovic.

He is the most suitable person to cooperate with Stoudeyer, he moves fast, can not only block the defender from breaking through, but also can return to the interior in time to interfere with the shot, he does not pursue blocks, but only interferes, and it is difficult to lose position.

Mozgov is tall and slow to cut into the air, and once blocked, he will only catch the ball himself and try to shake out space to barely shoot. In the big man, his skills are good, but when the Bulls' defense shrinks, he will only get himself caught in the bag with the ball. And his ability to respond is not very good, passing to nearby teammates is okay, and he can't directly create opportunities.

Zhou Xuan was strictly guarded on the outside, he just came back and played not long ago, he was still adapting, he didn't attack much with the ball, he played soy sauce in the third quarter, didn't score, 6 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal in the third quarter.

Douglas hit three three-pointers and played on the fast break. He had 13 points and 2 assists in the first quarter.

The Bulls played well from the outside, with Korver hitting two three-pointers, Rose scoring 13 points in the quarter, and Gibson having two beautiful dunks.

84-91, the Knicks trailed by seven points heading into the fourth quarter.
