Chapter 746: The Warrior's Bitter Lord
Zhou Xuan misplaced the score for the third time, David Lee and Bogut couldn't do anything about him, and Mark Jackson hurriedly asked for a timeout.
67 to 60, the score is about the same, but Zhou Xuan's misplaced attack is what the Warriors are most afraid of.
Su Qun smiled: "Zhou Xuan scored 26 points. The second half had just begun, and I noticed that he was very energetic when he hit the Warriors, and he was likely to score high today. ”
Yang Jian said: "This season, the Knicks won many games relatively easily, and Zhou Xuan's scoring data dropped a lot, because he reduced his shots because of Nick Young, Blecher, Scola and others. This time he was more resolute and I think the fans like to see him play like that. ”
Zhou Xuan averaged only 20 points per game, and immediately some people said that he brushed last season, but how to brush the same shooting rate as an inside player? In this game, aiming at the weakness of the warriors, Zhou Xuan attacked aggressively and easily scored a high score.
D'Antoni didn't have the idea of letting Zhou Xuan take the fight, and sent Bledsoe and Parsons. The purpose is to reduce the pressure on Zhou Xuan's ball control and organization, and he only needs to attack with all his might. The team is at full speed.
Jackson saw the weakness and brought on Landry for Bogut. He was bold on the pitch and Bogut was a key target for injury on the spot, averaging less than 27 minutes per game. It's okay for him to play less this time. It's just that Landry's defense is also very average, and it belongs to catching ducks on the shelves.
If you can't solve the problem of blocking and pickling, the Warriors can't win the championship, and the super team can't have obvious weaknesses.
The Warriors attacked, David Lee and Landry pulled together to the perimeter to block and pick-and-roll, and Chandler and Parsons both chose to follow the guards, and the mobility advantage was unobstructed. Curry couldn't find a good shot to get out of the area, and Garcia passed the ball again. Landry received the ball and tried to break through, but Leonard easily jammed the route, forcing him to pass again.
Thompson is 201CM tall, and Zhou Xuan is now responsible for defending him in the No. 2 position, and he is also strict against breakthroughs. Thompson was close to him after he shook it, and it was better to vote directly if he regretted it. I had to pass it on again.
Seeing that the 24-second time was approaching, David Lee singled out Chandler and forced a shot that could not be scored, and Parsons returned to the interior in time to get the rebound in the backcourt.
Zhou Xuan and Bredsoe hurried down together. Parsons made a long pass to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan took the ball on the left side, turned to look at Bledsoe, and suddenly broke through to the left.
Thompson thought he was going to pass the ball, and he stood more forward to prevent the passing route, and his body was relatively straight, but he was passed by one step. Zhou Xuan attracted Curry to make up for the defense on the left side, picked up the ball to the rebound with one hand, bounced to the other side, and the trick appeared! Bledsoe jumped up on the other side and scored in the air. 69 to 60. Zhou Xuan's 7th assist.
Barkley had just analyzed the gap between Curry and Zhou Xuan before, and now the problem came. Bledsoe is single-handed, and Curry has a height advantage and can go head-to-head. But Curry, who was entangled in Bledsoe, couldn't break through and could only find cover. Parsons was also quick after the pick-and-roll, preventing Curry from breaking through, forcing him to shoot with interference.
Curry protects the basketball and finds his teammates. He has excellent shooting and doesn't have the first step to steal the bell with lightning speed. He rarely opened up his ball-holding skills like Zhou Xuan, chose to pass and run, and the ball went to David Lee's hands again.
Fans admit that Curry is the core and leader of the Warriors, but David Lee is the central axis of the Warriors' system. David Li faced Zhou Xuan in the middle of the road, leaned his back twice, and turned to the left.
Zhou Xuan had already predicted what he was going to do, but his arms were still not long enough, and he couldn't easily cut the ball in the face of the huge David Li. He made up for it by retreating and running towards Landry.
Chandler retracted the inside line to make up for David Lee, who attracted the defense and half-turned to find someone, only to find that Zhou Xuan went around to keep up with the empty Landry. As soon as he stopped, the fighter was delayed, and it was better to shoot directly and pass the ball out of the line. Thompson took the ball and took a shot to avoid a block from Leonard.
The ball is in! However, this shot was very reluctant, and it was completely a gamble. 69 to 63.
The Knicks attacked, Bledsoe led the half, Zhou Xuan baseline and Chandler ran without the ball. Landry changed defenses, but the ball still passed to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan almost didn't pause, and the action of a volleyball setter with both hands dialed the ball to the inside. Chandler jumped up to win the basketball, and in the face of Thompson, he jumped again, ready to dunk with both hands, and Thompson hurriedly fouled.
David Lee, who should have retracted the inside in time, defended Parsons on the other side and didn't even turn his head. I have to say that David Lee's defensive awareness is terrible.
Chandler made one of two free throws. 70 to 63.
The Warriors attacked, Curry took a quick shot after covering, Chandler won the rebound, and the Knicks fast break came again.
Bredsoe shook off David Lee in two steps, and Zhou Xuan retreated to receive the basketball and threw it to the front court with one hand, which accurately reached Bredsoe.
Bledsoe went to the three-point line and turned around, just in time to see the ball flying over, he received the pass and turned around, jumped up in two steps, his body was completely tense, and he smashed the ball in a tomahawk style!
It's an attack that can play five good goals. DESPITE BEING ONLY 185CM TALL, BREDESOE IS SO BRAVE THAT HE CAN EVEN DO A 180-DEGREE TURN TWO-HANDED WINDMILL DUNK, WHICH IS A PEDIATRIC TOMAHAWK DUNK FOR HIM.
72 to 63. Zhou Xuan had his eighth assist.
The goal ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, and people stood up and cheered. not only for the wonderful dunk, but also for Bledsoe's good cooperation with Zhou Xuan after his arrival.
Many people were worried that Bledsoe was too short and that there would be defensive holes in the formation of a double guard with Zhou Xuan, but this was not the case, both of them were good at defending breakthroughs, and the opponent could only shoot from the periphery. The indiscriminate shooting of birds never yields good results. The bucks are an example.
The Warriors still relied on blocking and pick-and-roll, and this time the two interior doors were closed to help Curry create opportunities, Curry stepped out of the three-point line, received the ball in the middle and turned around to shoot a three-point jumper.
This action is very elegant, the shot is too fast, the Knicks player can't block, and the ball hollows into the net! 72 to 66.
Bredsoe passed the ball to Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan relied on the cover in the middle to get rid of Thompson and burst to the right to 45 degrees. He had two options, passing to Chandler who cut in the air, and had a height advantage. Pass to Bredsoe and let him pass David Lee.
David Lee saw Chandler cut into the air, shrunk back to the basket, and let Bledsoe empty, which was a surprise and delight. It's the teammates who are surprised, and the opponents who are happy.
Zhou Xuan jumped up and passed the ball to the middle with both hands. Bledsoe has been practicing shooting for several seasons with the Clippers, and now he can not only shoot from the field, but also have a certain accuracy from three-point range, although he doesn't shoot much, only one or two a game, and is shooting 39 per game this season. 7%。 He took a look at the open spot and made a three-point shot. 75 to 66. Zhou Xuan had the ninth assist.
Curry frowned, showed an impetuous expression, and his mentality began to change.
After honing for several seasons, Curry still can't be as calm as Zhou Xuan. In the face of Bledsoe, he chose to grab a three-pointer, which was too urgent. The ball bounced out of the frame, and the rebound in the front court was grabbed by David Lee.
David Lee is one of the strongest rebounding insiders in the league, and after landing, he shook a little, Chandler didn't jump, just raised his hands to interfere, and when David Lee jumped for the second time, Chandler jumped up, completely blocking his vision. David Lee jumped in the air to see that there was no chance, and chose to pass the ball outside.
Leonard contracted to help defend, David Lee thought that the outside line was empty, Zhou Xuan let go of Curry, blocked the pass route and broke the ball successfully, and then accelerated past Garcia and rushed to the basket.
No one returned to the defense, Zhou Xuan turned his head and glanced at it, calculated the distance from three steps, and scored the basketball with one hand! 77 to 66.
Zhou Xuan scored his 28th personal point, and the difference between the two teams also widened to double digits. Mark Jackson replaced Thompson for Jack, and he found that the Knicks offense relied mainly on two guards and had to keep up with the pace.
Jack came on the court, breaking through and throwing the ball in the middle after blocking and dismantling. 77 to 68.
Chandler helped Zhou Xuan cover the ball and singled out David Lee, Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch to pull out the space, and violently burst into the middle. Chandler made another cover to block David Lee.
Jack changed the defense and didn't understand why the Knicks were playing like this, isn't this another change of defense? Chandler was there to make room. Zhou Xuan found an open space during this cover and threw the ball high above Jack's head to the basket.
Parsons turned around Landry on the left baseline and jumped up with both hands to dunk the basketball! 79 to 68. Zhou Xuan's tenth personal assist.
Even if Landry doesn't lose his position, Zhou Xuan can pass to Chandler at close range on the other side, David Lee is easy to lose position, and he has observed the movements of the two with his spare eyes.
The Warriors attacked, or the old way to cover Curry, this time Curry caught the ball and threw it, and the ball hollowed into the net. He is also likely to score high points in this game. 79 to 70.
Even this season, Zhou Xuan admires Curry's shooting very much, but Curry is slightly better than him when it comes to shooting.
Zhou Xuan's shooting percentage is ten percentage points higher than Curry's, because he is sharper in his breakthroughs, has a lot of layups, and is also good at using teammates to cover and catch the ball easily.
The Knicks attacked, Bledsoe passed to Zhou Xuan, and ran to the bottom corner. He rarely played like that when he was with the Clippers, he came off the bench to steal points, and now he just has to wait for his chance.
He compared Zhou Xuan and Paul in his heart, and felt that Zhou Xuan was more powerful, strategizing, as if everything was under control, and every ball was very routine. Paul still often gives Griffin lob singles. The Knicks completely revolved around Zhou Xuan alone.
Zhou Xuan took the ball in the middle and played Chandler to block and dismantle and shake off Curry.
Curry is going crazy, once this kind of ball is blocked, he has no choice but to bypass the pursuit and always take a slow step. When he didn't meet a super guard, Curry felt that it was very enjoyable to partner with David Lee, who could block and cross the middle to brush assists, and once he met Zhou Xuan, Parker, and Paul, who were good at breaking through and pull-up jump shots, he was depressed. David Lee can't stop these people.
Zhou Xuan took a step to the left and stepped on the three-point line to shoot, David Lee didn't defend it in time, and the ball went into the net. 81 to 70.
Zhou Xuan scored his 30th point, and scored 30+10 with more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter.
