D'Antoni intends to let Zhou Xuan continue to play, and he will not rest in the second half.

D'Antoni has always wanted someone under him to score super high points in the playoffs, and he has repeatedly encouraged Stadamyre to attack, and now he has a better option.

"Zhou, go on the offensive and unleash all your energy. Ryan pulls to the perimeter to block and pick-and-roll, Nicola draws the defense in the low post, Wesley (Matthews) pays attention to the baseline and cuts, and Andre controls the ball to the frontcourt. ”

Matthews took a break and got his chance to play again, and he had a lot of energy. Gallinari took a temporary break and replaced Miller to reduce Zhou Xuan's physical exertion on ball control.

"Wesley, it doesn't matter if your opponent is Green or Pierce, interfere with him, follow up without the ball, don't let him take the ball easily, block and switch defenses directly, and the offense attracts the defense on the outside."

"Understood." Matthews is desperate when he comes on the court, and it is not up to him to score.

In the final quarter, the Celtics made substitutions on the perimeter, with Rondo and West forming a double guard, with Green at small forward, Garnett at power forward, and Davis at center.

Anderson's style of play is destined for him not to be too tired, just waiting for opportunities on the periphery, and Xiao Si resting for the final battle.

Rondo controlled the ball to the front court and gave it to West, who and Garnett blocked and dismantled, Garnett received the ball in the middle, and Rondo got rid of Zhou Xuan without the ball to cover the ball and burst into the inside. Pekovic couldn't keep up with the pace and chose to pull a foul, and Rondo threw the ball out with one hand, but the ball didn't go in and went to the free throw line. One of two free throws, 102-95.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed to Matthews on the side, who hung to Pekovic, Zhou Xuan cut with Anderson in the middle and covered without the ball, and then passed next to Pekovic on the right side.

Pekovic's wide body blocked Davis' view and handed the ball to Zhou Xuan from close range. After getting to the basket, Zhou Xuan jumped up and scored a backhand basketball, scoring his 50th personal point. Davis turned too slowly to make a block. 104 to 95.

The Celtics didn't re-sign Davis early, he was a hole on the defensive end and rarely sent blocks.

Rondo was already going crazy, he couldn't stop Zhou Xuan from scoring, and after this match, he couldn't imagine what the media would say about him. Safflower also needs green leaves, and he doesn't want to be green leaves.

Rondo broke through to the front court to block and encountered the bag, and the lob was given to Garnett in the low post on the right, Ray Allen ran back against the cover, and Anderson changed the defense. The Knicks used a joint defense, and Pekovic was always on the inside. Garnett hoisted the ball down the middle for Davis, who fended off Miller and turned around to shoot a jumper. 104 to 97.

Without Stadamire, the Knicks' defense has become weaker, Pekovic is not out of the picture, and the Knicks are afraid to block and attack. The Celtics' current lineup is not bad at shooting.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Matthews first, West, who defended Matthews, was one size and shorter, Matthews had the advantage of not attacking strongly, and passed to Zhou Xuan again. Garnett changed defenses, Miller ran in the bottom corner, turning the right side into a weak side, Zhou Xuan ran to the bottom corner and pulled away the single, Rondo didn't dare to let go of Anderson's pursuit.

Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch and started the "basketball hip-hop dance", and the fans chanted MVP together.

The voice in Zhou Xuan's mind was not MVP, but "playing" piano music, Beethoven's pathetic third movement. Imagine the piano music, his dribbling rhythm is very fast, just performing, not in a hurry to break through, and constantly wearing flowers back and forth under the crotch.

It's easy to be robbed, and if you don't get up, you have to watch Zhou Xuan play, it's a kind of torture for a veteran like Garnett, he really wishes he had a Gatling heavy machine gun now, and after killing Zhou Xuan, he would whip the corpse.

Six seconds later, Zhou Xuan's face frame took a step to the left, and then changed direction to the right, attracting Garnett to move and then dribbling under his crotch and handing it over to his left shoulder, and then dribbling with his left hand and handing it back to his right hand to break through the bottom line. Garnett barely followed from the side, but bumped into Pekovic, 24 seconds to see the use of light, the white bear pulled outside to cover, Zhou Xuan rushed to the basket and jumped, the air lever dodged Davis who blocked the side, and the right hand backhand picked the basketball to score, 52 points, 106-97.

Zhang Li shouted: "Zhou Xuan has scored again, his personal single-game score has ranked among the top 20 in NBA history, leaving Kobe, Carter and others behind, and tying Ray Allen." In 2009, Ray Allen scored 51 points in three overtimes. Zhou Xuan: This is a regular time. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "It is very difficult to score 50+ in the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant's highest score in the playoffs also relied on overtime to score 50 points. Zhou Xuan not only shot well, but also broke through with a sharpness beyond imagination, and I have never seen him make mistakes with the ball in my memory. ”

The Celtics attacked, Garnett responded high, Davis pulled to the perimeter to cover, Green received the ball and misplaced the offense, kept his distance from Pekovic, and scored a jumper. 106 to 99.

Chris, the manager watching the game? Mullin, at this moment, is wondering whether to trade Pekovic out of the summer and replace it with someone who can defend, the "White Bears" are too slow to deal with strong players in the low post. If you change to an interior that can help defend and block, the Knicks can limit the Celtics' offense.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan stretched out two fingers to play the code, both inside lines were pulled out to cover, Zhou Xuan ran to the right side, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Miller.

Miller singled out West, dribbled with the ball and forced a turnaround for a layup, West fouled to prevent the goal and sent Miller to the free throw line. After hitting both free throws, it was 108-99.

Rivers has an ominous hunch, what if the Knicks fight like this again? West missed an outside shot, and the Knicks counterattacked, and sure enough, it was still passed to Miller, who squeezed West with his back and turned around to make a jumper. 110 to 99.

The Celtics called a timeout again, and the two shots had nothing to do with Zhou Xuan, but the Knicks pulled the score away.

After getting off the court, Rivers replaced O'Neal Jr., Pierce, and Ray Allen on the court, and the main lineup for the opening game. Green has a strong attack, but Pekovic is on the floor, and Rivers does not dare to let Green play the No. 4 position, and Garnett will have a hard time defending Pekovic.

The Knicks also made a substitution, with Gallinari coming on for Miller. D'Antoni still has that old saying. "The inside line is blocked and dismantled, and Zhou creates a mobile phone opportunity."

In the audience, some Chinese fans were chatting.

Flat-headed fan A: "We Chinese are also going to have an MVP, the best record, beautiful data, and now the playoffs are also playing so well, there is definitely no suspense." ”

Fat fan B said: "I should still be in the best team, the best defensive team, and it would be nice to have another award for the most improved player." He's improved a lot from last season with the Warriors. ”

Fan A laughed: "The Warriors are really the stupidest team, and thanks to them, otherwise the Knicks wouldn't have risen so fast." ”

Warriors fans are depressed right now. Watching the playoffs, you can always hear the host ridiculing the Warriors about the trade. In two years, from the championship to the first round of the playoffs, and then to the playoffs, the Warriors slipped to the first place in the league.

Pierce took on the responsibility of attacking with the ball, scoring on a single Gallinari shot. Compared to him, the Italians are still too tender. 110 to 101.

Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, Rondo pressed, and Zhou Xuan was the only one who could control the ball at this time, they wanted to force the ball in the backcourt, Zhou Xuan relied on the width of the court to open the distance, Gallinari covered in the backfield, Pierce did not dare to come up to wrap up, and this tactic was broken in the first round.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Gallinari and ran to the right side, Matthews went to the bottom corner of the other side, Gallinari's pass to Zhou Xuan seemed careless, the intention was too obvious, and it was directly broken by Pierce raising his hand. He's just coming on and needs time to adjust.

The Celtics hit back and Pierce passed to Ray Allen, who scrambled for a three-point shot. 110 to 104.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball in the backcourt, and was touched out of the bottom line by Rondo, he was already tired. D'Antoni hurriedly replaced Beverley and Stoudeyer, and replaced Matthews and Pekovic.

Barkley said: "This substitution is quite timely, Beverley can help Zhou Xuan relieve the pressure, and he may catch up after a while." ”

Sure enough, Beverley controlled the ball, Zhou Xuan cut into the three-point line, Beverley passed to Gallinari first, and the latter hung to Zhou Xuan, and he and Rondo were one-on-one on the bottom line.

Zhou Xuan's face frame took a step to the left, the crotch dribbled to the right side, and after taking a step, Rondo was close, Zhou Xuan dribbled with his back to protect the ball, his right shoulder shook lightly, turned to the bottom line, Rondo moved sideways one step to block the breakthrough route, Zhou Xuan's right foot was the axis and went back, turned back at 45 degrees and made a jumper, wiping the board and hit. 112 to 104.

Rondo had already figured out this action, but he couldn't cover it. He jumped backwards, and no matter how long his arms were, there was a process of jumping into the air.

Zhou Xuan scored 54 points personally, and the single-game scoring record in the playoffs improved to 11th, surpassing Jerry? West, tied with the first "Iron King" Havlicek in history.

Pierce attacked, facing Gallinari. The defensive intensity is higher than just now, Pierce is at a disadvantage in height and speed, and he can't pass to the periphery to Ray Allen, who is not good at turning around and passing Garnett.

Garnett singled Anderson, dribbled two steps with his back, and turned around and missed a jumper. Garnett is a man who plays with skill and shooting, and as he gets older, his offense is not as powerful as he used to be. He's so skinny that even if it's Anderson, he can't squeeze under the basket. Smalls grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

The Knicks fell into a positional battle, and Beverley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to protect it, trying to use up 24 seconds, and delaying was beneficial to the Knicks. Zhou Xuan relied on the off-ball cover to run back to catch the ball on the left side, Gallinari covered to help him misplace against Pierce, Zhou Xuan took the ball and retreated, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand, attracting Pierce to step forward, he made a feint "worship Buddha" to break through to the bottom line, and made a quick stop jump shot.

Ray Allen let go of Beverley's defense interference, the ball was deflected, Zhou Xuan made a lot of offensive shots, and the defense was also hard, the whole game had to play for more than 40 minutes, and there was little physical strength left, and Garnett won the rebound in the backcourt.

Ray Allen missed, Beverley was short but tight enough to disrupt the opponent's shooting rhythm, and D'Antoni made the right bet on him.

The Knicks counterattacked, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Xiao Si in the low post on the right side, waited for a shooting opportunity at 60 degrees on the right side, and formed a strong side with Anderson.

There are still more than 5 minutes left in the single quarter, and Zhou Xuan wants to use the most efficient way of playing.
