Sometimes listening to CCTV5's big secret commentary game, there will be viewers in front of the TV who want to ask, what kind of player can be so strong that people dare not guard against it? Will it bite?

And Director Zhang publicly said that he was not a secret department, but a Zen master secret. This is very unconvincing, the real Zen master is holding the whole family bucket in his arms when watching the ball, eating KFC and supporting his idol. (Q: Who can represent KFC?) Answer: Phil? Jackson)

Next, both teams reduced their speed and success rate, and did not give in to each other. At 30-37, the Warriors trailed by seven points to end the first quarter. Zhou Xuan defended Kobe Bryant several times, which was a big surprise.

If he had that level of defense in Summer League, he would have stayed with the Rockets. In terms of defensive awareness, Zhou Xuan is no longer inferior to Stephen? Jackson is up.

In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan was rested, and the two sides competed on the benches. The Warriors sent Turyaf and Brandon? Wright, Maddy? Collins, Azubuuk, Watson. The Lakers bench was led by Odom, and Pau Gasol was back on the court to play the No. 5 position after a break in the first quarter, with small forward Ariza, shooting guard Vujacic, and point guard on Famar. Sun Yue didn't get a chance to play.

Ariza gradually became the Lakers' preferred choice at the small forward position, and the Lakers traded him from the Knicks for little to no price. Ariza has limited attacking ability with the ball, but he is a good defender and plays hard. There are two big interior lines, and the Lakers don't need him to do much on the offensive end, as long as he runs open and shoots.

After Bynum's return, Odom switched to the bench, although the stats were 14 compared to last season. 2 points 10. 6 rebounds 3. The stats of 5 assists have dropped, but the playing time is shorter, the efficiency is still there, and you can also help the team as a playmaker in the triangle offensive system.

The Warriors weren't on the back foot, with Turiaf playing to his low-post defensive prowess and pushing Gasol outside the three-second zone, where they were on the same team last season and often singled in practice. Odom likes to attack from the perimeter, and Wright is fast, has an amazing reach, and happens to be good at defending the high post. Old Nelson's formation is very targeted, and the inexperienced Anthony? Randolph sat on the bench.

Old Nelson asked Zhou Xuan to sit beside him and asked, "What did you say to Kobe Bryant on the court just now?" What did he do to attack you in the end? ”

"It's just to provoke him, to say that he is nothing remarkable." Zhou Xuan said lightly.

Assistant coach Smart felt that Zhou Xuan was simply crazy. "What if you provoke Kobe Bryant and he cuts 50 points on your head?"

"It's okay, I want to see what it's like for the best players in the league to give it their all, and I want to see how well I can defend." Zhou Xuan smiled.

In addition, he also wants to learn Kobe's offensive and defensive skills, and watching videos is far less effective than experiencing it in person. He didn't elaborate on this, saying too much that others would treat him as a freak.

"At that moment, let you continue to defend Kobe Bryant and keep an eye on him." Old Nelson said lightly.

"Well, I won't let you down."

Zhou Xuan didn't know that when he focused on defense, he was already moving in the direction of being a good defensive player. In order to be good defensively, the first element is that you have to like to defend. He now has a headache when he hears about defense, to daring to take the initiative to defend the opponent's core, which is a leap in mentality.

When it came to the official timeout, Jackson talked about tactics and said: "Kobe, you and Lamar (Odom) block and dismantle in the high position, if you attract the bag, cross the middle, and if Zhou Xuan doesn't cover the clip, you will play by yourself." Don't single Zhou Xuan anymore, it's hard for him to be passed. ”

Kobe Bryant didn't object, and he also realized Zhou Xuan's difficulty. The Lakers outside players are also surprised, it is too rare to see a newcomer like this who does not eat fake moves, it is an accident to prevent it once, and it is strength to be able to keep up every time. Thinking of the defense of Farmar and Fisher, Kobe Bryant also wondered what scouts went to the defenders to watch the game, and came to the conclusion that Zhou Xuan's defense was too poor?

No one would believe that Zhou Xuan's defense was only practiced after arriving at the Warriors. And when it comes to defenders, his confrontation ability is not enough to play in the NBA.

Kobe Bryant and Zhou Xuan returned to the court together.

In the first round, Kobe Bryant used blocking tactics to avoid Zhou Xuan and went around the three-point line, but Zhou Xuan did not chase the defense and followed Odom in front of him. Although Odom occasionally deserted and made some surprising moves, his strength was not something that could be emptied, so Zhou Xuan took a step around the front to catch the ball.

Kobe Bryant faced Wright, paused slightly, poked his left shoulder, and then broke through to the bottom line, Wright was not completely shaken off the side and followed, Bryant broke through into the penalty area, took the ball and turned around and took a step towards the middle and jumped, made two feints in the air, dodged Wright's block and threw the ball into the distance.

This kind of ability to stay in the air is rare in the whole alliance, and some people jump very high, but they fall down quickly. Zhou Xuan observed Kobe's style of play behind him, and he had some understanding.

Bryant's movements are ethereal, especially when he is doing moves in the air. Zhou Xuan felt that his body was too tight after jumping, and if he wanted to stay for a long time, he should relax his whole body and let go of his body.

The baseline ball was issued, Zhou Xuan dribbled through the half, and the person who defended him was still Kobe, as long as the Warriors didn't score, relying on the control of the rebound, the Lakers could immediately counterattack. Now Biedrins is not playing, only Randolph is good at grabbing rebounds, but the Lakers have two big men, and Ariza can also grab rebounds.

Zhou Xuan relied on Randolph to cover the breakthrough, and Odom made up the defense. Odom can play small forward, move very fast, and he's also a good pick-and-roll, blocking space with a wave of his long arms.

At this time, Zhou Xuan turned his head and saw that Kobe Bryant didn't care about Randolph. I just wanted to pass the ball, but the ball fell. He didn't wrap Kobe, but Kobe let go of Randolph and came up from behind to trap him, stabbing the basketball directly behind him.

Odom picked up the ball and threw it to the front court, Kobe Bryant received the ball and attacked quickly, ignoring Zhou Xuan, and easily dunked the basketball with both hands. Zhou Xuan's defense speed is very fast, but he can't pose a threat to Kobe Bryant in the back, unless he jumps up from behind with a "Gaga Brugen", which can waste half of Kobe's blood...... But he wouldn't do such a tasteless thing. (You can't do it if you want to, can you?) ）

The score was gradually pulled apart. Kobe Bryant didn't play alone anymore, he used cover to avoid Zhou Xuan on the offensive end, and he didn't pay attention to Kobe Bryant no matter how much he provoked him. On the defensive end, Fisher went with the pitcher, and the weakness was eliminated. The Lakers' interior defense was great, with both men standing up to death and the Warriors being able to shoot jumpers.

At halftime, 51-65, the Warriors trailed by 14 points.

Zhang Li said in the halftime commentary: "The Lakers are worthy of being a team that wants to compete for the championship, every position is excellent, Fisher also did a good job in defending the bottom corner, Randolph received the ball in the low post, the Lakers formed a shrinkage, and he passed out to the outside line and was not sure." ”

Yu Jia also said: "Kobe Bryant is still a strong defensive player, and under his defense, Zhou Xuan failed to score in the second quarter, which is still worse." ”

Zhou Xuan didn't try to play Kobe Bryant again, the lineup was already weak, and finding this kind of defensive strength to play would inevitably affect the offense of the whole team. Randolph played very passively against Gasol, and Ariza's defense was too frustrating, and he was ready to help defend. Azubuuk's three-point failure was out of order, and today is the time to be inaccurate. Collins couldn't be counted on, and Moreau was guarded as soon as he got on the pitch.

In the second half, Zhou Xuan's energy was mainly focused on organization, playing as fast as possible, as soon as his teammates grabbed the rebound, the Warriors counterattacked, Bynum and Gasol, the two big men were not fast enough to defend, and the Warriors played a wave of 8-0.

As soon as the Lakers saw the Warriors speeding up, they immediately replaced Bynum and replaced Odom to strengthen the defense. Kobe Bryant and Ariza retreated quickly, and they could also block the Warriors' offense.

On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant began to exert his power, he completely found his touch, and after blocking and dismantling, he singled Biedlins again and again. When he is far away, he will jump and break through when he is close. Zhou Xuan sandwiched twice, Kobe Bryant shared the ball, and Odom scored an empty jumper in the middle.

Kobe Bryant's first impression is often that he is an offensive finisher with strong lethality, and many people ignore Kobe's passing ability. Bryant's passing isn't as good as a point guard, but it can work at times, averaging five per game this season. What's more, his own scoring means are enough to contain changes in the opponent's defensive formation, so as to create better opportunities for his teammates to run in the open space.

Some people say that Kobe Bryant is alone, and he is a little more persistent in singles. After playing a few good games, there was a time when I was dizzy, and I forced my shot in the face of the bag. If he can stay awake all the time, he could shoot more than 50 percent from the field. What disappointed Zhou Xuan was that Kobe Bryant didn't compete in this game. The ball which should be passed was passed, and the ball which I could hit was hit firmly.

The difference has widened. The Warriors have been unable to defend against pick-and-rolls, and Bidrins' weaknesses have been revealed. Randolph shrank in a low position to resist others, but he succeeded in hiding it.

After three minutes in the fourth quarter, Biedrins was a little fed up and pulled Kobe Bryant to foul, bringing his personal fouls to five times and being replaced by Nelson Sr. The foul was more like he wanted to get off the court, and the coaching staff was disappointed.

Biedrins is an outlier, he does not have the characteristics of a traditional European center, but he has the shortcomings of a traditional European center, and his skills under the basket and back to the basket are also very rough, but he has a tough style of play and dares to fight on the inside. It can be said that his foothold in the NBA is rebounding and defense, with a good sense of grabbing rebounds, and his judgment and positioning skills are very good. Last season, he was the defensive core of the Warriors' interior and a barrier for the team's defense, but as soon as he came out, it was over, just like the Magic wouldn't let Howard go back to block and pick-and-roll, his height and speed should be blocked under the basket.

After a few games, it was not difficult to see that Biedrins was not a good fit to play with Randolph. If the Warriors want to do well this season, they must also change to a blue-collar who is good at blocking and pick-and-roll and has a fast lateral movement. The Warriors have no shortage of scorers, and Jackson and Margeti can solve the problem as soon as they return.

This gave Nelson Sr. a bit of a headache, after all, Biedrins was single-handedly trained by him.
