Chapter 759 [Last Quarter, Surrender the Gun at Home]
Smith said: "There are three people in the league who can play ancient data, Zhou Xuan, Love, and James. Lefu once had an exaggerated performance of 20+15 per game and 30+30 per game. Needless to say, James is like Big O Robertson. Although Zhou Xuan scored more and less, sometimes he would burst out with amazing energy. ”
Barkley said: "This is the second time he's played 30+20, and the No. 1 position can't be said to be unprecedented, but given his age, he should take 30+20 more times than Erwin in the future." ”
Nowitzki and Mourning hit 30+20 data twice, Lefou, Garnett five times each, Duncan six times, and O'Neal were the most exaggerated, with 17 such performances. It was Magic Johnson who got this kind of statistic for nearly four decades. There are three magicians. 37 points and 20 assists at a time, 30 points and 21 assists at a time, and a triple-double with 32 points, 20 assists and 11 rebounds. And Rauf took it once, with 30 points, 20 assists and 8 rebounds.
Zhou Xuan is likely to surpass Johnson in the future, he must have played for a long time, and he will not retire early due to special diseases.
The Clippers attacked, Jordan Jr. covered Paul to get rid of Zhou Xuan, Paul took the ball on the left side, and suddenly threw the ball into the sky. Griffin got around Scola and burst inside, leaping high, and the ball was thrown into Griffin's hand accurately, just the highest point of his jump. Griffin's head is flat and the ball is smashed into the air. 107 to 101.
In the next round, the Knicks didn't attack, the Clippers counterattacked, Crawford advanced to the front court and turned his head to look at the situation of his teammates, threw the ball back high, and Jordan Jr. followed up with a one-handed empty dunk and knocked Parsons to the ground. 107-103, the Clippers played morale.
D'Antoni stood up and yelled "foul" at the court! Everyone knew that he meant to foul Jordan Jr. Such words were shouted directly, and little Jordan heard it, which was shameless.
The Knicks attacked, two inside to the perimeter to cover, Anderson flanked Leonard to get rid of Crawford inside, and Scola blocked Paul in the middle.
Butler switched to defend Zhou Xuan, Griffin and Leonard, and at this time there was inevitably a mismatch on the court, and Parsons was Jordan Jr. on the bottom line.
Parsons didn't stand stupidly in the bottom corner, moving to the line to receive Zhou Xuan's pass, so that Jordan Jr. couldn't stay under the basket, otherwise he would directly have an open three-point opportunity. Zhou Xuan took the ball and retreated and turned his head to look at Parsons, holding the ball slightly, Butler thought he was going to pass the ball, but Zhou Xuan changed direction and went to the middle, passed Butler in one step, and scored in three steps to the basketball. 109 to 103, 33rd personal point.
The Clippers attacked, Paul dribbled the ball before the referee blew the whistle in the half, and Scola fouled without the ball and pulled Jordan Jr. The team had fouled four times before, and Jordan went to the free throw line, missed two free throws, and handed over the ball to others.
Yu Jia said: "Little Jordan's offense was cut, his defense was leaking, and the Clippers gave him an annual salary of tens of millions. ”
Zhang Li said: "In 2011, the Warriors poached people, the interior line was scarce, and the Clippers chose a matching contract in order to keep him, and it is said that he has a very good relationship with Griffin and the reason why the Clippers keep people, but Jordan Jr.'s skills are indeed too rough, and he has not practiced for so many years, and he does not average many rebounds per game." ”
The lack of rebounds is not Jordan Jr.'s problem, but Negro's tactical arrangement, which always allows him to go out and break through the guard, which he is more positive than Howard. If you can't resist people in the restricted area, you can at least grab double-digit rebounds. He is nominally a center, but he does a lot of Griffin's work, defending defenders and making blocks on the wings. Griffin is the one who is resistant.
Negro was forced to replace Jordan Jr. and bring on Battier to play small-ball tactics.
Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half, Scola covered outside the three-point line, Zhou Xuan put one hand on Scola's back, took a step forward, and suddenly grabbed three points on the right side. This is one of his big tricks, and the Clippers are cocooning themselves and letting Battier defend the pick-and-roll. Battier, who defended the breakthrough of 203CM, did a good job, but he couldn't interfere with the shot with one person. Originally, it was by sealing the eyes, but this time it couldn't even be sealed, and Paul didn't cover the side, and jumping up would only hit Scola.
The ball bounced into the back edge of the basket, and Zhou Xuan scored his 36th personal point. 112 to 103.
This goal was a huge blow to the morale of the Clippers, time was running out, and the point difference was widening.
The Clippers small-ball tactics, the players all pulled out, Crawford broke through with the ball, and passed Anderson to score a layup. 112 to 105.
D'Antoni looked at Anderson's performance and shook his head on the sidelines, the three-point shot is accurate, the defense is really bad, if there is a good defense to break through the No. 4 position, the Knicks' defense will improve a lot. It's more important than Chandler guarding the basket, and being passed by a guard at the No. 4 position is the most likely to have an outside three-point opportunity.
The Clippers attacked, and the two inside lines covered on the perimeter, creating opportunities for Zhou Xuan. Parsons is in the bottom left corner, ready to cut inside. The two cooperated very tacitly, Zhou Xuan relied on cover to get rid of Paul against Battier, and Parsons ran to 60 degrees again. Griffin had to keep up, and if he didn't, the Knicks players completely gave up on the low post.
Zhou Xuan singled out Battier, dribbled through the middle under the crotch, and dribbled behind his back to move his right hand sideways to 45 degrees, Battier moved horizontally to follow, and as soon as his right foot landed, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, making a "killer crossover", pulling the ball and jumping to the middle, shaking out of the space in one go, backing up and jumping, and making a quick shot.
Battier jumped on the side to block it, failed to seal Zhou Xuan's eyes, and shot one step before the free throw line, very close to the basket, hollow into the net. 114 to 105, 38th personal score.
Zhang Li said: "At the critical moment, Zhou Xuan was not soft, and he opened the stub. ”
Yu Jia said: "Last week's ranking in the final quarter scoring list was low, not because he didn't play well, but because of the shortened playing time, and he often sat on the bench throughout the quarter when he played a weak team. There are fewer chances to pull off in the past two seasons. ”
The Clippers players began to get irritable, and Crawford grabbed a three-pointer by covering the run and received the ball, which was missed.
With little game time, Crawford wants to save morale and chase points quickly with three points, but this method is not always in Turino. Anderson pounced and interfered with the shot. Griffin rushed to grab the rebound, and Scola hurried to foul him, his fourth foul.
Griffin didn't take advantage of the opportunity either, hitting one of two free throws. 114 to 106.
Like many strong men on the inside, Griffin isn't shooting very good free throws, just 66 this season. 2%。 Without Little Jordan, there are still objects to "cut" on the field. The Knicks are a group of free throw shooters, and sending them to the free throw line is equivalent to sending points, Parsons' 73. 4% is the worst penalty shooter.
With the score behind, time running out, and the Clippers not using frontcourt pressing, Paul knew that the opponent had a way to crack it.
Zhou Xuan passed to Parsons in the front court, and ran to the bottom right corner without the ball. Parsons glanced at Zhou Xuan, shook his head and didn't pass, and suddenly broke through with the ball.
This feint tricked Butler, and the whole game revolved around Zhou Xuan, and Butler was almost stubborn Parsons was able to break through. Parsons cut in the middle and got up with the ball with one hand, while Zhou Xuan and Anderson made a no-ball cover on the side, got rid of Battier, and cut into the basket.
Griffin supplemented Parsons, Parsons saw Zhou Xuan get rid of it, and gave the ball to Zhou Xuan in the run, Crawford was not tight, Zhou Xuan jumped up with the ball, shrank in the air and pulled the rod to the other side, and scored a backhand layup. 116-106, personal 40th point.
With only 1 minute and 49 seconds left, the Clippers had no way to retreat but to attack.
Paul quickly advanced to the front court to match Griffin's pick-and-roll, and he took a pull-up jumper to the right to avoid Anderson's block ball. 116 to 108.
The Knicks played very patiently on offense, and Zhou Xuan began to control the rhythm, dribbling under the perimeter crotch and dribbling with his back, just not attacking, and striving to use up 24 seconds. It's a torturous situation, and time is of the essence for the Clippers.
It took 21 seconds for Zhou Xuan to pass the ball, and after blocking and dismantling, it was distributed to Anderson. Anderson caught the ball in front of Paul and pulled it out. Very simple fit, Paul's height is not covered, and the ball is hollow into the net. 119 to 108.
Zhou Xuan's 21st assist, which also sentenced the Clippers to death.
Paul is good enough to defend, he is a great defender on the ball and can put a lot of pressure on the ball. His center of gravity is low and steady, and he doesn't lose his position much. And even if he's out of position, stealing the ball from behind is a must. However, he is limited by his height and weight, and there is no way to pull out the big man, and it is easy to be squeezed out of the body in advance. Zhou Xuan himself is this type, so he naturally knows Paul's death hole.
Paul made a quick push to the front court and gave the ball to Butler, who couldn't pull a three-pointer and Parsons followed. He gave the ball to the bottom corner, Battier received the ball and made a three-point shot, Anderson didn't cover it, but it was deflected.
Battier took 3 shots in the whole game, and his hand was cold. It's unwise to bet on him at this time, but there's no way, Griffin can't shoot three-pointers, and Paul and Crawford's height is also easy to interfere with.
The rebound was grabbed by Scola and passed to Zhou Xuan. No one on the Clippers came up to foul, and a foul is a score. If you don't foul, Zhou Xuan will use up another 24 seconds.
Paul stepped forward to press, Parsons covered in the half, and after Zhou Xuan got rid of Paul with the ball, he attracted Battier to defend and passed to Parsons, and it was a high hanging, so that Paul could only watch and couldn't break it. Parsons protected the ball in the middle, and Zhou Xuan ran to the right side with Scola's cover.
Parsons gave Anderson, who relied on his height advantage to hang the ball above Crawford's head to Zhou Xuan, Butler changed his defense, and was thinking about how to prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through, Zhou Xuan took a step back after receiving the ball, and stepped on the three-point line on the baseline to grab a shot.
Butler didn't expect him to shoot at all, because there were still more than ten seconds to attack, and everyone didn't think that Zhou Xuan would be so kind and didn't need 24 seconds. It is precisely because everyone thinks this way that Zhou Xuan is very resolute, and Butler wants to block it too late, and the ball goes in. 121 to 108, Zhou Xuan's personal 42nd point.
With a 13-point deficit of one minute, the Clippers are on the way, and unless a miracle happens, hitting five three-pointers in a row and defending the opponent's offense, they can only turn it around.
After Crawford missed a three-pointer, the Clippers players gave up on foul play and surrendered their guns at home.
