After an easy win over the Magic, the Knicks played at home against the Bulls.

Derrick Rose returned last week and has been a bit unlucky this season, having missed more than 20 games.

This is Rose's fourth season in the NBA, and in the previous three years in Chicago, Rose had only six games in total, the most serious of which was a sprained left wrist in a game against the Magic in 2009-2010, and the others were just minor issues such as "neck pain." However, the shortened season schedule was too tight, and Rose's lack of adequate rest time was the main reason for his injury.

Look at the injury blow Rose has been hit by this season, since the opening of the regular season last Christmas, Rose has only played 11 games in a row after the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on January 12 because of a left big toe injury and hung a waiver card, during which he played two games with injuries and did not recover well, so he simply took a 11-day break to return to face the New Jersey Nets, played 10 games in a row, and Rose sprained his ankle against the New Orleans Hornets, followed by a groin injury and a back injury. In just a few months, Rose has been hit by injuries in five positions in his body.

From the analysis of the data, Zhou Xuan felt that Rose's injury was inevitable, and he would not die if he didn't die.

In games played this season, Rose averaged 17 shots per game. 8 times, 6 of them. 1 time was near the basket, accounting for 36 shots per game. 1%。 A total of 8 shots in the three-second zone. 3 times, accounting for 46 of the average number of shots per game. 6%。 This percentage is the highest in Rose's career. Therefore, how much pressure he has on his knees and ankles, and how fierce the physical confrontation during the breakthrough is something that can be imagined, and in this 36. Of the 1 percent of interior shots, Rose had just 19 assists. 6%, a career-low statistic, has been on a downward trend for the past four seasons, which means that only nearly 1 of every 5 interior points he has scored this season has been played with teammates, and the remaining 4 have been singles that directly hit the inside.

The style of work is extremely tough, and the offensive means are extremely lethal are the advantages of Rose, but this style of play is extremely dangerous.

There is another point that makes Ross more embarrassed. Although he missed many games, the Bulls only lost 14 games, and the record is still very good, and it doesn't seem to matter without him, as long as there is a defensive system. Therefore, he especially wanted to defeat Zhou Xuan to prove himself.

Before the game, Zhou Xuan made a peace in the locker room. Miller and Battier also helped.

Zhou Xuan is mainly talking to Beverley and Stephenson, these two are a little irritable, Beverley's contract this season is due to expire, in case he runs, it is really difficult to find a replacement who is better than him. Stephenson has been a marginal man for two years in a row, and he is already going crazy. He didn't think his career would start in such a way.

It's like a guy who vows that he wants to be the best comedian, only to find out two years later that he's a comedian. With such a big gap, it is inevitable that there will be mustard in my heart.

The Knicks are strong and have no injuries, and the problem is that many players have too short playing time and fierce internal competition. Matthews and Gallinari also had less playing time. Miller's playing time was also significantly shortened, but he was able to see it and this was his best chance to win the title. With a ring this season, he can enter free agency with peace of mind, pick a team that suits his pace, or go back to his hometown to play.

Novak is settled, the coaching staff doesn't use him at all, he is obviously healthy but has been out of the squad, only to blame Parsons' performance is too eye-catching. Also under pressure for Parsons' rise is Jamison. He is uncomfortable as a veteran with a short playing time, but the veteran will eventually have to make way for the youngsters.

After the end of this season, Jamison may not stay, Zhou Xuan chatted with him and knew that he didn't like life in New York, there were too many people in Manhattan, the pace was fast, and it was not as good as other cities to buy a villa and live a quiet and comfortable life. Los Angeles is also a big city, but you can buy a villa there, and it is close to Hollywood, which is more interesting than New York.

Many people will leave, so Zhou Xuan doesn't want the atmosphere in the locker room to go wrong, so that the newcomers will sacrifice some, and when this year is over, the future will belong to them.

Overall, the Knicks locker room is probably the most harmonious in the league. After Stadamire left, the people who liked to go to nightclubs were gone. The core Gallinari, Zhou Xuan and several veterans are very stable. In this environment, Chandler and Matthews, who wanted to go to nightclubs, were also affected and did not dare to go often. Otherwise, it is easy to be said to be a negative textbook when compared.

ESPN live, and they chatted about gossip before the game. Van Gundy said: "Hollywood child star Chloe Moretz is here again today, sitting near the dugout. ”

"Magic" Johnson smiled: "Some people say that the two of them are more like a couple, they used to be like adults leading children, but this year Chloe Moretz has grown taller, and she is a loyal fan of Zhou Xuan." ”

Van Gundy said: "The Knicks are now the single core of Zhou Xuan, and his scoring stats have skyrocketed since Stadamyre left, and there are a few games left that he can hope to become the scoring champion. ”

Players from both sides played. The Knicks mainly practiced three-point shooting when they were warming up, and it was difficult to score inside the Bulls. Noah is a defensive powerhouse, and as long as he's there, the Bulls are a defensive powerhouse.

CCTV5 said reasonably: "The camera is given to Noah, he is tall, moves fast, and can block the defense, and has become the core of the Bulls' interior defense this season." He has been improving over the years. ”

Yu Jia said: "When I first entered the league in 2007, Noah was the No. 9 rookie, with an explosive head, a rough brother, and a very strange shooting posture. But now he's an All-Star calibre. Although the mid-range shooting posture is still not good, he can occasionally score goals. Today, the Knicks guard wanted to break through and succeed in getting past him. ”

Zhang Li said: "We see, today the Knicks started and changed again, playing different teams, they will try different formations. ”

The Knicks started five: Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Battier, Gallinari, Chandler. Gallinari's cameo appearance at the No. 4 position is aimed at Noah's weakness in the low post, as long as there is height interference. Noah has never relied on offense to help his team win. Boozer pulls out the Gallinari to break through and hand over to Chandler on the inside.

Bulls starters: Rose, Hamilton, Lore Deng, Boozer, Noah.

The game got on, with Noah winning with a jump ball and the Bulls attacking first.

Rose relied on the block to force the inside in the first round, and Chandler won the rebound in the face of Gallinari's change of defense and forced a jump lever layup.

What does it mean to forget the pain of a scar? Ross gives the best interpretation. There's no way, that's just the way he plays. Slow down at a different pace, and his stats will definitely drop.

The Knicks fell into a positional battle, and Zhou Xuan had already thought of a way to play, and as soon as he came up and played with Gallinari in the high position, he blocked and dismantled. Noah came out, and Boozer carried Chandler on the inside.

Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side, attracted Noah to move horizontally, and then took it all the way to near the baseline, and passed to Gallinari at the free throw line in the middle. The position was three steps away from Noah and Boozer, and Gallinari received the ball to face Rose and scored the ball in a dry pull. 2 to 0.

The Bulls attacked, and the Knicks used a hybrid defense. On the surface, it looks like a man-to-man, but it will change formation with the opponent's attack, Gallinari is more flexible in position, blocking and dismantling the back, and Battier will retract in time when the opponent breaks through. Chandler has been under the basket.

Since Battier came, there was Matthews on the periphery, and Zhou Xuan no longer needed to take on the task of defending important scorers on the periphery. This time he went to defend Hamilton and handed Rose over to Matthews. Even if Boozer's blocking and dismantling is misplaced, Matthews' strength can be topped, and Zhou Xuan does not need to spend physical strength and small movements to change defenses.

Both sides put a lot of emphasis on defense and struggled to get easy shots, mainly relying on misplaced singles. They're all starting to prepare for the playoffs. Six minutes later, the Knicks led 14-10.

Rose started with a low shooting percentage, shooting 1-of-4, and Hamilton also shot 0-of-2 under Zhou Xuan's defense. Only Boozer performed well, with a clear advantage in singles after mismatch.

After signing a three-year contract with the Bulls, Hamilton has averaged 12 points per game for the Bulls this season. The Bulls coaching staff wants him to provide consistent shooting and help Rose share some of the offensive pressure. But Hamilton is no longer the All-Star "mask man" of the Pistons, his offensive ability with the ball has weakened, and after joining the Bulls, he has been repeatedly affected by groin injuries and has missed many games. In this regard, it was suggested that Arenas should be signed in the middle of the term.

Arenas played in 49 regular season games for the Magic last season, averaging 8.3 points per game. 2 rebounds 2. 4 assists. However, it was just an unpleasant trip for the general, and the real strength of the general was not reflected in magic. With guns in the forefront, any team in the league that wants to sign him will need to think carefully. After the worst comeback, the Bulls didn't make any substitutions, just let Ronnie Brewer, who had slipped even harder, play some more time.

Zhou Xuan didn't score and handed out three assists. After the break, Noah and nearby players will wrap him up, and then the others will defend in a rotation position, which is very effective.

D'Antoni called a timeout on the eight minutes, and Chandler was replaced with two fouls and replaced with Anderson to add an outside shooting point. Anderson's presence on the court will give the Knicks another improvement in their shooting ability, and the center will also be able to pull the perimeter. The bull can no longer wrap Zhou Xuan unscrupulously.

Zhou Xuan was not polite, and immediately played Noah in a wrong position, continuously dribbled under the crotch to widen the distance, used the "Worship Buddha" feint to break through successfully on the left side, and scored his first two points with a quick stop jump shot.

He then relied on the Hawks to run on offense, catching the ball on the right side and making a pull-up jumper, and assisted Battier for a three-pointer in the last minute, and substitute Kawhi Leonard cut to the basketball.

Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 5 assists in the single quarter, and the Knicks led 28-22. In the face of important competitors in the East, the Knicks still have a slight advantage.
