The Nets missed the shot, Lopez pulled to the high post to block and couldn't grab the rebound in the front court, and Anthony was resisted by Chandler, and the difference in size was obvious and he couldn't grab it. Chandler took the ball and passed it to Zhou Xuan, who retreated.

The Knicks hit a counterattack, and the three went down quickly.

Zhou Xuan observed the running position of his teammates when he received the ball, and Bledsoe shook off Lopes in the middle. At this time, Zhou Xuan made an unexpected passing move. Stepping back away from Joe Johnson, he made a long straight pass towards Bledsoe with all his might.

This kind of teammate is difficult to catch, Zhou Xuan also passed a high ball, which was high and big at a glance, flew over Bledsoe's head, and directly smashed it on the rebound and bounced back. Bledsoe rushed to the free-throw line and bounced the ball towards him, sinking hard. Bledsoe was stunned, is this okay?

He reflexively got the rebound ball and made a layup. 10-4, Zhou Xuan's fourth personal assist.

The audience applauded together, and the commentator Van Gundy's mouth opened into an O-shape, and sighed: "This ball is calculated at a glance, I really dare to play, a little heavier or lighter can make a mistake." ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "People call him the Wizard, it's a fitting name, it's a magical pass. ”

At that time, Johnson was known for his eccentric passing, and his tricks were passing the ball from behind, hitting the ground or receiving it in the air, and he was more accurate to see people. Like Zhou Xuan, who often smashed rebounds and rebounded to his teammates, Johnson didn't dare to play like this back then, not to mention that this has reached the Eastern Conference Finals?

The Nets changed their strategy, Joe Johnson received the ball and organized in the middle, Delon went to the bottom corner of the weak side, and Pierce was on the side, both pulling away.

In this way, López is covered on the side, and someone must follow Delon, otherwise there will be empty seats.

Anthony pulled outside the three-point line, Parsons followed, Chandler could only defend Delon, Bledsoe and Lopez, and there were several misalignments on the court. Lopez cut to the basket, Chandler had to return to the basket, and Joe Johnson sent the ball to the bottom corner above Zhou Xuan's head.

Delon catches the ball and makes an open three-point shot, and when there is a bang, the iron pops up, and the rebound is picked up by Chandler.

The Knicks attacked, Leonard didn't shoot, the Nets blocked and dismantled, and in the same position as just now, Delon made another three-point shot, but still didn't score.

The fans who supported the Nets were on the verge of collapse.

When Avery Johnson stepped down as head coach, his son Johnson Jr. spewed expletives at Nets management and their star DeLong in a tweet.

Johnson Jr. said: "As the team's No. 1 star, he can't even grasp the unguarded shot, is this performance to blame the coach for being incompetent? Delon is shooting 45 from the field this season. 8% and shot just 37 from three-point range. 6%。 It's a shame that the best players couldn't get open shots, and it seems like it's all my dad's fault. ”

DeLong's three-point shooting percentage is not too low, but he was under too much pressure today and wanted to perform too much. He always unconsciously regards himself as the number one core of this team, thinking that if he doesn't enter, his core is not as qualified as Anthony. When there were no celebrities, Delong blamed the uniform team for not giving strength, no teammates, and when a star came, his mentality began to be unbalanced.

The tennis stars are facing the same problem, the distribution of the ball, the change of status.

The Knicks are different, Mullin is looking for players who are not competing for the boss, they play very clearly, they don't know how to find Zhou Xuan, give Zhou Xuan at a critical moment, and then open up and wait for the opportunity to shoot.

Deron missed, Bledsoe went down fast, Joe Johnson followed, Zhou Xuan caught the ball on a fast break, and misplaced Anthony.

The moment Zhou Xuan held the ball in both hands, his left foot lifted off the ground, and his right foot kicked out to the right, giving Anthony the illusion that he was going to break through to the right. Zhou Xuan only lands with his right foot when holding the ball, so his right foot is his pivot foot.

At this time, Anthony had been deceived, and his entire center of gravity fell on the right side of Zhou Xuan's body. However, Zhou Xuan had already used the power of his right foot to step outward to the left, and at the same time, his arm stretched out, pulling the ball lightly from Anthony's side. At this time, his right foot of the pivot foot is off the ground, and his left foot is on the ground, according to the rules of basketball, after the right foot of the pivot foot is off the ground, he must not fall back to the ground before the ball is shot, otherwise the "walking" violation.

Zhou Xuan lifted the ball but didn't shoot immediately, but made another feint! He kicked the ground with his right foot again while slamming the elbow of his right arm into Anthony's chest with the elbow of his right arm. As a result of taking an extra step, Anthony jumped up and began to fall, and at the same time, his chest was hit by an elbow, making it difficult to maintain balance, and his right arm that was high and open was unconsciously pressed downward.

So in the eyes of the referee, Anthony collided with Zhou Xuan in the move, and pressed his arm down, which was an out-and-out defensive foul. Zhou Xuan took advantage of that extra step to push away Anthony, who was much stronger than himself, and jumped up and threw the ball with his left hand, making it 2+1.

Zhou Xuan's movements are very accustomed, from receiving the ball to breaking through and making a perfect steal, if you don't look at the slow mirror a few times, you won't know that he is suspected of walking, it can be said that he grasped it just right.

Unlike James's "crab step" and Kobe's "skiing", Zhou Xuan's ball will not even be controversial, he took advantage of the referee's psychology, if Anthony didn't follow so closely, he would go to the basket directly, and several conditions were indispensable.

After hitting the free throw, it was 13-4.

Callesimo asked for a timeout. In the opening game, the Nets couldn't defend against the fast break, and the offense was also terrible.

The five stars of the Nets were miserably suppressed by the Knicks, and not all of them were real fans who watched the game, and they didn't know what the main reason why the Knicks were ahead of the Nets. I only know that there is only one superstar in the Knicks, and that is Zhou Xuan.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan's image in the hearts of fans is infinitely taller. At the end of the game, the audience neatly shouted "MVP". He is the king of New York.

Kalesimo didn't know how to adjust, he didn't have a set routine for playing. Originally, he discussed with the assistant coach that if Zhou Xuan's attack could not be single-handed, he would go to the bag. But Zhou Xuan only attacks during the fast attack, and organizes mainly at other times.

Kidd knows Zhou Xuan's style of play best, he also relied on fast break to connect the whole team to bring the Nets to the finals twice, the difference is that he shot very poorly back then, and the shooting rate was even less than forty percent, Zhou Xuan's attack power was much stronger than him, and the Knicks lineup was much stronger than the Nets at that time.

The Nets opted for a substitution, with Garnett coming on for Lopez, and the rotation could have been quicker.

Garnett came on the court and pulled to the middle to block and pick, and scored on a jumper to make it 13-6. His actual height is taller than López, and Bredsoe can't defend against it.

Garnett roared after the goal, and in this way boosted morale.

Bledsoe dribbled past half the pitch and the ball was passed to Parsons, with Zhou Xuan and Chandler covering the middle without the ball to the bottom right corner.

The four of them were on the perimeter, completely withdrawing from the basket, and after Zhou Xuan and Chandler covered, Garnett was forced to switch defenses, and Chandler cut to the basket.

Parsons took advantage of his height to hoist the ball over Pierce's head to Chandler in the low post, who misplaced Delon and turned around to hook his shot into the middle. 15 to 6.

Van Gundy said: "The Nets fell into the rhythm of the Knicks from the start, and they couldn't stop it. ”

"I think no matter how you play, it's the Knicks' rhythm, and now they're developing a good offensive pattern and routine," Johnson said. Whether it's a positional battle or a fast attack, there are ways to score goals. ”

After Garnett came on the court, the interior defense was a little more mobile and didn't let people pass casually. Lopez, a solid traditional center, has a hard time of movement in today's league that pursues constant pick-and-roll misalignment and fast breaks. If it was the NBA in the 90s, with his solid basic skills, he might have been able to make a big name, but now the coach can only limit his playing time.

The Knicks' offensive efficiency has decreased, but the Nets' offense still can't be opened, the Knicks have adopted a hybrid defense, Chandler himself is in charge of the restricted area, and the others are on the perimeter to mark people, relying on rotation to limit shooting. The Nets also have one man to guard the basket, otherwise Chandler will not be able to defend the empty cut. Zhou Xuan delivered two more assists, attracting defenders in the bottom corner to hit a three-pointer for Parsons, and a fast-break pass to Bledsoe for a layup.

In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan scored 3 points and 6 assists, and the Knicks led 30-22.

In the second quarter, the Nets sent Watson and Kidd to form a double guard, and Pierce, who had a break in the first half, brought a substitute. The inside line is López and Evans. In an effort to bolster the defense, the Nets did not let Rasheed Wallace play.

The Knicks sent Bredsoe, Matthews, Nick Young, Anderson, Bletcher. Scola continues to sit on the bench, which is a relatively rare occurrence. The Knicks don't want to attack the interior and want to pull Lopez out of the basket. And when defending, Bletche is taller, Scola is on, and Lopez can turn and jump directly in the low post.

The two sides fought the bench to defend, and the score was deadlocked. Pierce became the main point of attack for the Nets, with two excellent back-to-back singles Nick Young and a three-pointer from the perimeter. Nick Young also hit a three-pointer and Matthews scored on a mid-range shot past Kidd.

Kidd, who is ready to retire at the end of the season, has now lost his ability to break through, and while he may have two more years to survive with his three-point shooting and playmaking ability from the perimeter, he doesn't want to be on the fringe like Mutombo. However, this season, Kidd still squeezed DeShawn Brooks on the bench and couldn't play.

Six minutes later, the main players of both sides appeared one after another. Zhou Xuan replaced Bledsoe and partnered with Matthews on the outside, with Leonard and Anderson on the front line and Bletcher as the center.

In order to stabilize the defense, Nick Young's playing time has also been reduced, and in the face of a group of stars, the Knicks dare not relax in the slightest.

After Anthony came on the court, he hit a three-pointer from 70 degrees on the right side. Joe Johnson also relied on Garnett to cover the run to get rid of Matthews, and scored a three-pointer before Bligh switched defenses.

Matthews and Leonard both had a very average feel, and the Knicks failed to attack three times in a row. The Nets will not be defeated all at once, relying on the advantage of the swingman position, they quickly chased the score to 42 draws.

The audience also gave applause to the tennis stars, and the match was a big cheer for the fans.
