"Defend against Zhou Xuan, don't let him make a move, do you want to see him score 50 points? The inside line should be fast in changing the defense, Aaron (Afflaro), bypass the cover and go to chase Zhou Xuan and trap him! "George? Carl shouted, realizing that Zhou Xuan was different from before.

This difference comes from a change in mentality, and Zhou Xuan attaches more importance to data than before. If it weren't for the fact that he was too selfless and his stats didn't look pretty, the Warriors wouldn't have traded him out of the team. He began to realize that it is difficult for a low-key person to become a superstar, and it is easier to increase popularity and make fans remember it with data luxury.

Just like comparing Duncan and Kobe, most people will say that Kobe is better than Duncan, and the reason is the data.

Dumb: Dumb has two regular season MVPs and three Finals MVP trophies. Komi: One MVP is enough, and more is brushing. Deng Mi: Dumb is the second-youngest Finals MVP in history. Komi: Boss 81 points. Deng Mi: Dumb has 20+10 for many consecutive seasons and a double-double in 13 seasons, and is the most consistent star in the league. Komi: Boss 81 points. Deng Mi: There were no superstars around Dumb, Robinson's form was declining at the time, Ginobili and Parker were both low-pick rookies who slowly played out, he led the team to the best record, and the Spurs had him never missed the playoffs. Komi: Boss 81 points...... Divide......

On the sidelines, D'Antoni said with a smile: "It's a beautiful game, Zhou will shoot if he has the opportunity, Ryan will empty the inside line, and Amare will pay attention to cooperate with Zhou Kongche." ”

Stoudamire's timing of the air cut is among the best in the league, and when he was with the Suns, he was able to help Nash attract defense, allowing both to play well, and his record dropped dramatically when he left. On the offensive end, his power is unquestionable.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets strengthened their defense against Zhou Xuan, and after blocking and dismantling, one person broke through, and Afflaro caught up and forced Zhou Xuan to pass.

As long as Zhou Xuan passes the ball to the wing, the Nuggets' formation immediately shifts to one side, freeing up the weak side. It's a pity that his teammates don't have a strong sense of passing the ball, so they can't quickly transfer to the empty space, so they can only return the ball to Zhou Xuan. A few minutes later, Zhou Xuan was trapped in the bag, and the Nuggets also caught up with the difference.

D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced Anderson with Douglas.

Su Qun said: "It seems that the Knicks are going to play small-ball tactics, Gallinari plays the No. 4 position, if Zhou Xuan passes, there is one more playmaker on the periphery, and Douglas can still attack with the ball." It's a clever arrangement. ”

Yang Jian said: "In this way, Zhou Xuan does not need to control the ball in the backcourt to consume physical strength, just go directly to the frontcourt." ”

D'Antoni believes that Zhou Xuan can play a two-way guard, and in the first two seasons he often defended the star in the second position, and he also had a lot of offensive means.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Douglas passed the ball to Zhou Xuan, who avoided Afflaro without the ball. Zhou Xuan faced Nene and pulled to the right side, Gallinari stood in the middle, Afflaro chased after the defense, Zhou Xuan shifted slightly, and there was a chance in the middle.

Gallinari's shot was very difficult to block, and he hit a three-point shot from the middle. 23 to 19. Zhou Xuan's third assist.

Nuggets attacked, Billups passed the ball to Anthony, who singled out Matthews to break through through with cover, Gallinari went up again, and the Knicks suffered a little loss before, no longer covering Anthony, switching to a single defense. As soon as Anderson was born, the Knicks' ability to defend pick-and-rolls improved.

Gallinari is not suitable to play the No. 4 position, not weighing enough, but it doesn't matter if you play Nuggets small-ball tactics, Sheldon? Williams has no shooting ability and has a mediocre low-post offense. Harrington, who came off the bench, was also a perimeter shooter.

After a few passes, the ball returned to Anthony's hands, and seeing that he had 24 seconds to force a shot, it was deflected under Gallinari's interference, and Zhou Xuan entered the interior from the weak side and picked up a backcourt rebound.

Douglas rushed through the half, but Zhou Xuan did not pass, and led the half without hurry. Billups was following up, and he didn't think Douglas had an advantage head-to-head.

The players all pulled away, and Zhou Xuan and Gallinari played blocking and dismantling, so that even if they were blocked, it would be advantageous for Matthews to hang Shelda Mayer in the low post and single Shelton.

The Nuggets really changed their defenses inside. Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to break through with the ball, and moved the right side to 60 degrees, trying to attract Afflaro to wrap up. How dare Afraro let go of the standing Gallinari again? On the right side, Zhou Xuan got a single opportunity, took the ball and moved slowly, and Nene kept a distance of nearly two steps from him, and could rush up to interfere with the shot.

Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch, took a step back, held the ball in his right hand, and brought his left hand close, Nene showed a strong defensive ability, did not shake, but just took a small step forward. In addition to relying on the overall formation, experience and distance are very important for interior players and defenders, because they are slow and can be easily passed.

Zhou Xuan saw that "worshipping the Buddha" could not be achieved, the ball in his right hand changed direction and walked in the middle, and the inner and inner moved horizontally to keep up, Zhou Xuan then dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it over to his right hand, and pulled the ball up, jumping horizontally. This action was done in one go, and he opened up the distance from Nene and made a quick shot, and there was a little back. Even though Nene was the fastest moving center forward, he couldn't keep up with Zhou Xuan, and he didn't have time to jump to block the ball and threw it. Zhou Xuan's play is simple, and his ideas are also very simple, Stadameyer has a height advantage on the inside, and he may be able to win rebounds.

The ball bounced out of the frame, and Stadameyer really won the frontcourt rebound, and the second attack hit the cricket to score. 25 to 19.

Offensive rebounding is a very important statistic, and the traditional sense of offensive rebounding only gives credit to the player who grabbed the rebound, ignoring the source of the offensive rebound.

Zhou Xuan calculated the ability of his opponents and teammates, and some of his missed shots were like informal jump shots. It's just that this kind of "jumping ball" is no longer the referee gentlemanly throwing the ball into the air, but bouncing out of the basket and flying in the air, for a moment, the ball is not in anyone's hands, waiting to be scrambled.

The Nuggets attacked, the players passed the ball back and forth, and after the worst Anthony singled Matthews with his back, turned and shot wide. The Nuggets' offense relies heavily on Anthony's touch. Only after JR Smith comes off the bench can he add a strong scoring point, and the style of play is relatively simple.

Gallinari grabbed the rebound, Zhou Xuan frontcourt and Studamayre cut to the bottom line without the ball cover, Matthews passed to him, and it was the Hawks offense again.

Nene didn't change the defense, otherwise Stadamire would have squeezed past Affralo and rushed to the basket, and Sheldon and Gallinari were out of the game. Zhou Xuan received the ball in the bottom corner of the right side, and Yu Guang glanced at the distance of Afflalo, turned around and jumped.

He has been practicing in this position, and finally it has achieved a little effect, and he can ensure the hit rate without pressure, and the ball is scored. 28 to 19. 15th individual point.

The Nuggets made substitutions, with Harrington and J.R. Smith on the court. Nominally, they are substitutes, but in reality they are meant to enhance the attacking power of the second team. If the score difference continues to widen, it will be more difficult later.

J.R. Smith came up and hit a three-pointer, unreasonable, straight in front of Douglas. With two guards on the court, the Knicks were at a height disadvantage. 28 to 22.

The goal was a morale boost, and the Nuggets home fans cheered loudly.

Zhou Xuan just shot a ball in the bottom corner, but he couldn't feel it, and covered with Stoudamire in the middle and cut into the bottom corner. Douglas blocked Gallinari on the perimeter, dodged Billups and sent the ball into the bottom corner.

J.R. Smith was incredibly fast, bypassing the defense and catching up. Zhou Xuan received the ball in the bottom corner and raised his hands, and Smith was shaken. He was more excited when he first came on the field, and after jumping up, he found that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly retreated, but unfortunately it was too late. Zhou Xuan jumped forward with all his might, bumped into Smith, who was half-turned, and pushed the ball out with one hand, the ball didn't touch the basket, the referee's whistle sounded, foul! Three free throws!

Some spectators booed, as if the referee was unfair, but in fact the foul was too obvious.

Zhou Xuan stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, flicked his wrist, and made the same three shots, all of which were hit. 31 to 22.

Yang Jian said excitedly: "There are still three minutes left to end the game, Zhou Xuan has already scored 18 points, and he is about to reach 20 in a single quarter." ”

Su Qun said: "The Nuggets don't dare to easily trap him at this time. ”

As he spoke, the Nuggets completed an offense, and Anthony singled out Matthews and turned around to shoot the ball. 31 to 24. This move is difficult to guard, and he has a height advantage.

The Knicks attacked, and Douglas chose to single out Billups and missed the pull-up jumper. This offensive choice was rotten, and it didn't shake off at all. D'Antoni was immediately unhappy and yelled at Douglas to "pass".

In terms of technique and tactics, D'Antoni may not be as good as Popovich, but he also has his own strengths, that is, he is good at arranging tactics for stars. Playing under him, as long as it's someone he likes, it's easy to play super stats, especially a point guard. Now D'Antoni can't wait for Zhou Xuan to shoot more than 20 in a game.

The Nuggets attacked, and J.R. Smith broke through to score on the basketball, 31-26. The score caught up again.

Douglas didn't dare to play again, and waited for Zhou Xuan to get rid of Smith after halftime and immediately passed the ball. Zhou Xuan then covered with Gallinari, dodging Smith who was catching up again, and confronted Harrington.

After two frustrating seasons without defense in the Knicks, Harrington was even more decadent than he was with the Warriors, and Zhou Xuan passed him with a crotch dribble and changed direction, burst into the basket, and made a high-hitting layup. This is Payton's trick, as long as he knows where to find the rebound, he can do it with a softer touch, dodging Harrington's side block and falling into the basket. 33 to 26.

It's 20 minutes in a single quarter, and this kid is crazy. George? Karl said darkly. Last season, they played the Knicks very easily, but now they are at a disadvantage, mainly because the Knicks have too many pitchers, and Zhou Xuan's personal ability is super strong.

In the next round, the Nuggets passed several times, Billups missed a jumper, and the rebound was picked up by Stoudamire. The Warriors attacked quickly, and as soon as Xiao Si landed, he threw it to Zhou Xuan in the front court. Zhou Xuan took the ball in the middle and shook it in the direction of Douglas on the right side, then broke through to the left, pulled the ball up, and jumped with all his strength in three steps.

Smith jumped on the side to block, Zhou Xuan half-turned in the air to pull the rod, leaned on Smith's right backhand layup, dodged the block, and scored a cricket. 35 to 26.

The difference widened to 9 points, Zhou Xuan's personal 22nd point, this ball looks like a mess, but in fact, Zhou Xuan calculated the starting distance and knew the position of the basket.

Both sides missed two shots as the Nuggets countered and Billups scrambled for a three-pointer. 35 to 29.

Leaving 28 seconds for the Knicks to attack, Zhou Xuan controlled the rhythm, singled out Smith in the last five seconds, continuously dribbled under the crotch to change direction and break through, and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 37 to 29.

The Nuggets' last offensive miss ended, and Zhou Xuan scored 24 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.
