As soon as he thought of it, Zhou Xuan immediately contacted Mitchell Butler and explained Duncan's situation in detail.

Duncan knows everything, hiding it now won't give him any face, and when it comes to divorce, it's not everyone who knows about it?

Mitchell immediately said that he was going to help contact a young prostitute to seduce the mistress. And Mitchell thinks more comprehensively, he will not come forward, just find a middleman to contact, and then they use the phone and the Internet to manipulate. The owner of the consumer money is naturally Duncan, and with his net worth, throwing a million out is not painful at all. In the end, it was Duncan's friend who was responsible for contacting the prostitute, not a celebrity, and secrecy was not a problem at all.

The first thing to do in the plan is to give her a place to stay, an identity, and then apply for a premium membership card for her health club to get her closer to her goal.

At the same time, Zhou Xuan also told Duncan to hold back and not to be caught. It's best not to get divorced, and if you really get divorced, you should try to maintain your image and put yourself on the side of justice and the side of victims.

After chatting, Duncan felt much better, and when he was depressed, he really had to find a friend to explain. This may seem like a joke, but the success rate seems to be quite high.

On the 16th, the Knicks vs the Spurs.

The Spurs now have a 7-1 record and the Knicks are 5-0, which is destined to be a battle of the dragon.

In the opening game, the Knicks' offense was not smooth, the Spurs defended one very tightly, Parker pestered Zhou Xuan on the periphery, and only Chandler chased the defense to form a bag when he blocked and dismantled.

Chandler cuts in the air, Duncan will retract the inside line, and at the same time the defense line moves to the side, blocking Zhou Xuan's passing route, and passing the high ball from a long distance is a bit risky, and if you are not careful, you will make a mistake, so Zhou Xuan will turn around. This time often delayed the fighter, and he did not fight well.

The Spurs were on the lookouts, with Green hitting two three-pointers from the perimeter. The two sides were tied in the first quarter, and the substitute competition in the second quarter was also fierce.

Ray Allen came off the bench and added to the attacking power of the second team. Defensively, Ray Allen followed Nick Young, using his experience to limit him, playing more steadily than Nick Young, relying on cover to run to catch and shoot, and pass the ball at other times.

The Spurs have an advantage on the outside, relying on the inside attack, and the Knicks are not inefficient, and the difference between the two sides is still not widened.

Midfielder Ross Barkley commented: "There are similarities between the two teams, both have a core with a few good role players, and the bench is also very strong, and whoever wins has a chance. ”

As Barkley predicted, the stalemate lasted until the fourth quarter, and the two sides went into overtime.

In the last half minute, Zhou Xuan knocked down Duncan when Leonard cut into the air on the periphery of the ball. The referee stopped and looked at the position and sentenced Zhou Xuan to hit people with the ball.

The ball was the turning point, as the Spurs' offense went through a couple of off-ball screens, with Ginobili passing to Ray Allen, who hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to give him a three-point lead.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan shared the ball, Matthews relied on double cover to get rid of the three-point score, and the rebound was obtained by Duncan. Time was running out, and the Knicks had no choice but to resort to foul tactics, and Duncan made one of two free throws to seal the victory.

Zhou Xuan scored 28 points, 14 assists and 3 steals, and the Knicks lost 103-107.

Duncan also played well, scoring 18 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the game, a comprehensive mess, not like a veteran at all, and Chandler couldn't guard him.

Another key to the Spurs' win was Tobias Harris. He played as the starting power forward and defended Scola well, Anderson, and the Knicks from the outside. He has been starting this season, averaging 11 per game. 2 points 5. 3 rebounds and shot 45 from the field. 2% and 34 three-point shooting. 5%, is the surprise soldier of the Spurs.

Harris was selected with the 19th pick in the first round last season, which is not a high rating, but he is a high-quality potential stock. He was just a bench last season, and after a year of training, he can establish himself in the NBA. He has a good basketball IQ, and his body is still in the growth stage, he was 203CM when he signed up for the draft, and now he has 206CM in shoes.

He is a gifted and skilled athletic striker who is well-rounded and can combine strength with agility to make it difficult for defenders to deal with. He has wide shoulders for interior positioning and low positioning. He is quick to hold the ball and start up, is adept at breaking down the middle, and can score inside with either hand. The feel and awareness under the basket is excellent, the bounce is good, and the arm span and upper body strength also make him tough on the defensive end.

At the Spurs, Popovich made Harris completely transformed into power forward, and it was this arrangement that changed him. Although he is a little short as a power forward, he is more mobile in the No. 4 position. The Spurs' No. 4 position is short, and he is taller than Blair and Dior.

Unfortunately, Blair, who moved from the Warriors to the Spurs, thought he would be reused, is now the third substitute, playing 6-8 minutes in a game.

The Spurs' small forward is also a defensive player, Luke Bamert. After the Bucks and Spurs traded, Hill played average in the Bucks, still a role player, and did not renew his contract after the season. The two brought in by the Spurs have taken the team's defensive intensity up a notch. Popovich is a defender-oriented person, so veteran Stephen Jackson has been short on the pitch. For this reason, Jackson was very dissatisfied and asked to play the starter, and Popovich's choice was to cut him directly in the summer, without mercy. The two youngsters were given plenty of room to play.

In addition, the Spurs' outside Green and Parker's defense is not bad.

This time they made the Knicks depressed for a while, and they fought hard to defend until the end. This style of play is reminiscent of the Spurs when Bowen was there. If they make it to the finals, I'm afraid that President David Stern's face will be black again.

The Knicks exposed a weakness, except for Zhou Xuan, they lack super scorers, and their offensive ability is relatively average. Nick Young failed to play star stats this time, and he felt cold and frequently hit the iron, which made Spurs fans happy. He was a double-edged sword, and in the second half D'Antoni had to let Matthews play more.

The two sides competed on the bench, and the Spurs did not fall behind at all. Ray Allen, Ginobili and Neil lead the second team, as well as Mills, Dior and Split, who have performed well in the Olympics, and their substitutes can also fight against other teams. Gary Niel, who performed well last season, has shortened his playing time due to the arrival of Ray Allen, and has recently requested a transfer with Blair.

After the fight, Zhou Xuan was not happy and talked to Duncan. "Why do you get angry when you complain to me, on purpose, isn't it?"

Duncan smiled: "This is obviously strength, I can't take the lead in releasing water and deliberately lose to you, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan sighed, it's true, you can't play match-fixing, right? And it's just a regular season, and it doesn't matter that much.

At the press conference, both coaches praised their opponents, and Duncan and Zhou Xuan also complimented each other. To the Spurs' pride, they found a player like Bowen, and that was Bamot, whom Popovich praised heavily.

Bamot's shooting has improved this season. He shot just 39 from the field. 7%, which is never less than 46% in the Bucks, seems to have gotten worse, but in fact, Bamot has shot mainly in the bottom right corner this season, shooting 36 from three-point range. 6 percent, and with the Bucks, he barely shoots threes.

Popovich has a good set of training players, he doesn't need a well-rounded person, he just needs to play in the system, and Bamot's role is to shoot in one position in addition to defense, which involves defensive attention.

Tens of thousands of shots in the same position, no matter how bad the hand feel, can also ensure a certain hit rate. It's torture for the players, and Bamot himself certainly doesn't like it, but Popovich wants to be simple, and the team is happy to be remediated, and he doesn't want to sit on the bench like this, and if he doesn't change, he will be traded out of the team. Bamot could only be ruthless, and finally stayed.

The Knicks' winning streak ended and they trailed the Spurs by one point, and New York fans were a little disappointed.

On the plane, Zhou Xuan and D'Antoni sat together. D'Antoni sighed: "We should also find a super defensive player at the No. 4 position, otherwise it will be really difficult to play against the Spurs in the playoffs." ”

"It's hard to find someone who can attack and defend, Harris is also very rough in shooting, I don't know what will happen after a few years of practice, maybe we can look at African players and tap talent. Pick one at the time of the draft. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Africa?"

"That's right, I checked the information and found that there are often super defensive players in that place."

Olajuwon, Mutombo, Lol Dun, Manutpol, Bamot and many more...... There are too many examples of defensive players in Africa.

The historical data and historical honors of Big Dream and Uncle Mu are clear to everyone, even Olovocandi and Diop are stronger in defense than in attack. Parallel Champion Career 8. 3 points 6. 8 rebounds, Diop 2. 1 point 3. 9 rebounds. Mbenga also had three minutes to block four blocks in a row, and Brother Rough can play in the NBA all on defense.

D'Antoni asked: "So do you have any players you like?" We can trade it in the medium term. ”

The two of them sat in the last row of positions, and they were both coaches, so there was no talk. D'Antoni called him over because he wanted to talk to Zhou Xuan about the transaction.

Zhou Xuan shook his head. "Our roster is so strong, why do we need to trade? I think it's enough to defend the title, and even though we lost, we weren't worse than the Spurs and defended well. If you come again, you have to run in, it's very time-consuming, you can't use pure defensive players, aren't all superstars who can attack and defend? ”

D'Antoni thought about this and stopped asking. If you talk too much, you seem to have a bad mentality, and you panic when you lose a game. How many people envy the Knicks' lineup, they are at the top of the power rankings. According to Zhou Xuan's intentions, try to keep the original lineup as much as possible, and just find a rookie to supplement it at the draft meeting.

This coincides with the Spurs' policy, and Popovich was reluctant to give up even Bonner, signing for many years just because Bonner was familiar with the system.

The Spurs have come this far, Duncan has never missed the playoffs since he joined, and the run-in is key. D'Antoni doesn't have an absolute say in the team now, and under the constraints of Mullin, Woodson and others, he will learn from the good things of other teams. It's always the trade that destroys the chemistry, and the Knicks have had a number of rookies this season.
