Chapter 194 [The Back Waves of the Yangtze River Push the Front Waves]
Nash stepped back a little in order to avoid Richardson and failed to interfere with Zhou Xuan's shot. Watching Zhou Xuan return to defense, Nash was full of emotion, is this really a rookie? Is it because I'm old, or is he too strong?
Both teams have players who can score, and both have obvious defensive holes.
The embarrassing thing is that the Warriors' defensive hole is not Zhou Xuan, but the Suns' defensive hole is Nash. And this game, countless media and experts are paying attention, waiting to compare the two of them.
At the beginning of the competition, Zhou Xuan would not use Nash as an idol. In order to win, he can constantly consume Yao Ming's physical strength through dislocation, so that Yao Ming is exhausted, how can he be polite to a Canadian who has been friends for a long time?
Suns head coach Gentry sighed to himself. He thought that maybe the Warriors could win this game, and the lineup was not inferior to the Suns, but he didn't expect that the first quarter showed the gap between the core of the two teams. Where is Zhou Xuan's poor defense? is simply the core of the Warriors' outside defense, and the impressionists who say that his defense is bad are based on his height and weight.
There were also fans in the audience who saw the door: "Zhou Xuan is too powerful, being selected as an All-Star is really not hype." He can defend Nash alone, but Nash can't defend him, so ...... go on like this."
The longtime Suns fan didn't want to say any more.
His companion nodded and sighed: "Zhou Xuan is indeed very strong, it would be good if the Sun had an outside defense expert to restrict him, but ...... Alas. ”
At this time, many people remembered Marion and Raja? Bell, if these two people hadn't gone, the sun wouldn't have been so passive.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were already going crazy with excitement. There are constantly messages from fans on the Internet, praising Zhou Xuan in various ways. Before the game, most people were still optimistic about Nash, but now they find that ginger may not be old and spicy.
Nash tried to break through again, but Zhou Xuan still kept a distance to follow, and Nash could shoot, but couldn't avoid his interference. The reason why Nash became the MVP was because of his amazing passing, not his individual score. The Suns don't have a shortage of scorers, and there is not much point in Nash alone, let alone when he can't shake off the defense. He distributed the ball to Richardson, who and Stadamire split the ball after a pick-and-roll, with Stodameyer receiving the ball to avoid Azubuuk's breakaway and Biedrins making up for a foul and sending him to the free-throw line.
Stoudamire hit both free throws to make it 18-18.
Zhou Xuan once again held the ball to Nash and let his teammates pull away.
Come on, does this kid want to beat me all the time? Nash frowned, he guessed correctly, if he could catch the weakness, Zhou Xuan would never be polite. The two interior lines can grab rebounds in the low post, and his single play is a good way to break the Suns' defense, and others are prone to empty space if they shrink very badly.
Zhou Xuan held the ball in his left hand, his left shoulder shook slightly, the ball changed direction to the right with his right hand, Nash slid to follow, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball with his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back and handed it over to his left hand, and took a small step to the left. Nash hurriedly followed and moved to his right. However, Zhou Xuan's left foot step was still empty, and a slight step with his right foot was the key, and he dribbled the ball left and right under his crotch to the right hand and successfully broke through from the right side.
His feints are all aimed at Nash's pivot foot, this passing method has weaknesses, his attention is too focused on his own movements, and he is not very good at ball protection, but Nash is not a person who likes to gamble and steal, and it just falls into Zhou Xuan's rhythm.
Nash watched Zhou Xuan pass by on the right side, and could only sigh in his heart. After the breakthrough, Stadamier pulled out to make up for the defense and let go of Biedrins, and Nash also chased the defense from behind to form a bag, let go of Biedrins, and blocked Zhou Xuan's passing route. At this time, it is a test of the player's ability to divide the ball.
Zhou Xuan did not give Biedrins, but passed to Margeti on the left periphery, Hill defended Margeti, this was not an opportunity, Margeti did not force the play, before the game the old Nelson repeatedly emphasized that once Zhou Xuan attracted the bag, the other players were not empty when they did not shoot, pass to Randolph. At that point, the defense must have been empty under the basket.
After receiving the ball, Randolph singled Camby, took two steps inside with his back, turned to the baseline and shot with his left hand to score the cricket. 20 to 18.
This goal is not an assist, but it is a reflection of the overall cooperation of the Warriors, and it is easy to play. Only those who can score easily are called real strong teams. Super playmakers should move the ball to a weak point, rather than scoring one-on-one, or even one-on-one, on the field. This is easier said than done. Iverson didn't understand until he was about to retire, Zhou Xuan did it as soon as he entered the league, he was such a strange person.
The Suns attacked, Nash and Stoudeyer blocked and dismantled, passed back to the middle, and Stoudeyer dribbled and rushed inside.
"Bag clip." Zhou Xuan shouted.
Biedrins finally stopped standing stupidly and met Stadamire from the side. Letting Camby shoot is much less of a threat than letting "Little Overlord" open up.
Stoudamire's offense is almost perfect, with impact, mid-range shots, and good awareness, knowing when to appear in the open space and when to cut, the only thing he is not good enough is passing, and it is difficult to spot the open to deliver a wonderful pass. When he encounters a bag clip, if he doesn't force a hit, he can only pass to his teammates nearby.
Camby made a good shot near the free throw line, but this time he caught the ball on the side, and the open jumper bounced out of the frame, and the rebound was easily won by Randolph. Zhou Xuan and Bidrins rushed out of the gang together. Randolph passed to Biedrins in the front court, and Biedrins received the ball and gave it to Zhou Xuan. The tempo of both sides increased, and several outside linemen rushed through the half. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and dribbled to the left side with his left hand, distanced himself from Nash, and passed to Margeti.
Margeti rushed up on the right side, which was not something that a veteran like Hill could stop, and although Hill had been close to him, he couldn't make him lose his balance. Margeti took the ball and rushed to the basket to force a layup, and Camby slowly ran back to the three-second zone, unable to defend the basket in time. In desperation, Hill thug fouled.
Hill was fouled twice, and Gentry replaced him with Matt? Barnes stepped up defensively. This is a player who came out of the Warriors and is known for his defense.
"Barnes is a strange figure, he is at the top of the list every year when he selects the best value contract of the year, but he has never received a high salary in the NBA for so many years. There was a weak team to offer him the middle class, but he refused, preferring to take less and go to a strong team to compete for the championship. He felt that the Warriors had no future, so he refused to renew the contract, and as soon as the front foot left, the Warriors rose. That's bad luck. ”
As soon as Barnes came on, Nelson Sr. also made an immediate substitution, with Ellis replacing Azubuuk.
It's a targeted adjustment, and Nelson Sr. knows that Barnes is a player who is not good at attacking with the ball, scoring mainly by shooting and cutting from the air, and is not as well-rounded as Hill, and Ellis can limit him. In this way, the Warriors have another strong offensive point.
Margeti made both free throws. 22 to 18.
The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball and Stadamire blocked and hoisted the ball to the middle. Zhou Xuan judged that Stoudeyer was going to turn around, and quickly stood close to him, but as soon as Stodameyer turned to the right, he crashed into him, directly knocking Zhou Xuan to the ground and sliding out of the ground one meter away.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Stadamyre scored with a jumper. 22 to 20.
Zhang Reasonable said depressedly: "Black whistle, this ball is not blown, it is obvious to hit people with the ball." ”
Yu Jia said: "Sometimes the home whistle is like this, let's see the replay. ”
A replay appeared on the big screen, and Zhou Xuan did stand on his legs. It's just an exaggeration, before Stodameyer collided, he was already leaning backwards, ready to fall at any time, if Stoudamire broke through, he would trip over. He often uses this trick against big men, and if you want to get under the basket, you have to step on his body, and he has never met such a perverted person. So he fell to the ground at least a little, so that the opponent's big man could only shoot, and the accurate shooting inside line was a minority after all.
The Warriors attacked, and the players pulled away again. This time it became Barnes to defend Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan took the ball to the left side, and Barnes followed from the side, interfering with his long arm. Zhou Xuan pulled away a little, but the 201CM Barnes is not like Nash, who can interfere with the shot better.
Zhou Xuan looked at Barnes's detailed stats in the Warriors and knew what his weaknesses were, so he immediately beckoned Biedrins to cover and carry the ball to the right side.
After blocking and dismantling, Barnes kept up with Biderins, regardless of Zhou Xuan, Camby changed Zhou Xuan, and suddenly misplaced, Zhou Xuan shook out of space with a cross step, and scored a 45-degree jumper on the right side. 24 to 20.
Sun Richardson missed a three-point shot, the rebound was won by Biedlins, the Warriors battled, Zhou Xuan and Biedrins blocked and dismantled, Camby had to defend again, Zhou Xuan calmly made movements on the right side, dribbled under the crotch and handed his right hand to the bottom line, the right shoulder gently probed, and then changed yearning to go back, completely shook off Camby, and hit the shot in the vacant position. 26 to 20. Barnes' choice is still to switch to Biedrins.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "There is a big problem with the two sun defense dismantling, Nash didn't do this when he was defending Zhou Xuan." ”
"Zhou Xuan made a lot of shots today, mainly because Camby was in defense, Barnes might have a better effect if he chased Zhou Xuan to form a bag, Camby was too reluctant to defend the defenders. When shooting rockets, Yao Ming also faced this kind of misalignment problem. Yu Jia said.
"Yes, Yao Ming, who played in a misplaced position, was injured, and this star game couldn't be played, many people originally wanted to see the two of them cooperate, but now it looks like it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves...... Zhang Li sighed.
Many fans are discussing when Zhou Xuan can enter the national team and when he can partner with Yao Ming, and it seems that it will be the 2010 star game at the earliest.
In 2009, there was the Asian Championships, Yao Ming has had too many injuries in recent years, and he will definitely not participate, and there is no sign of inviting Zhou Xuan to the national team at present. The two are most likely to join forces at the 2010 World Championships. If the Basketball Association does not invite Zhou Xuan by then, Chinese fans may be angry.
Nash passed Randolph after the pick-and-roll, and the Warriors let Camby empty again. This time Nash passed, Camby received the ball in the middle and hit an open jumper. 26 to 22.
The Warriors immediately returned the color, Zhou Xuan relied on the cover and then dodged Barnes, Camby was still slow to change the defense, Zhou Xuan held the ball and accelerated to break through easily, 45 degrees of emergency stop and shook for a while, Barnes finally chased the defense this round, but was pointed, Zhou Xuan jumped forward and hit Barnes, the ball was not thrown far, but there was a shot, and the referee whistled and fouled.
Zhou Xuan hit both free throws and scored 6 points in a row. The Warriors led 28-22. With four minutes left in the first quarter, the opponent scored too high, and Suns coach Gentry called a timeout.
