Smart laid out the tactics and said: "They should replace the man who can shoot, appropriately expand the defense, don't let the Big Three get easy shots, and if Rondo breaks through, he should be fouled in time and send him to the free throw line." ”

"Rajan, follow Zhou Xuan." Rivers arranged a single defense for Zhou Xuan, emphasizing: "Follow the strong side, if Zhou Xuan transfers the ball to the weak side, the rotation must be fast, try to interfere with the shot." ”

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors made some adjustments, Randolph Jr. continued to play on the inside, ensuring height, and small forward Margetty replaced Jackson to strengthen the offense.

The Celtics brought on Pierce to add a scoring point.

Pierce came on the court, singled Margety, entered the three-point line to ask for the ball, gently shook his shoulder, leaned back and turned and jumped to shoot. 41 to 36.

Zhou Xuan took the ball at the top of the arc, Randolph Jr. pulled out to cover, Zhou Xuan dodged Rondo and walked to the right side, while Randolph blocked Ellis on the left periphery, allowing him to cut into the air, and Margeti also reached 60 degrees on the left side.

This is a situation that Rivers is more afraid of, Zhou Xuan moved to the weak side, and only Rondo and Garnett limited him after the block. Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to break through against Garnett, and continued to dribble under his crotch to open up the distance, Ellis ran to the basket and quickly reached the bottom corner of the right side, he was too fast, House didn't have time to chase the defense, and Perkins had to follow out. Zhou Xuan's ball was widely transferred to Randolph on the left and misplaced against House, while Margeti ran to the middle and Randolph Jr. ran to the left low post.

The two inside lines formed a strong side on the left, although Garnett could only defend Randolph Jr. when he got to the basket, he couldn't control Randolph, the fat man ate 185CM, 80kg House, squeezed out space with his back, and turned around to jump and shoot. 43 to 36.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Xuan shouted to his teammates: "The front court is pressing!" ”

Ellis didn't retreat into the half, listened to him and started to grab the ball in the front court. Zhou Xuan pestered Rondo.

Rondo's breakthrough is the absolute top in the league, not only fast, agile, but also very realistic feints, the past two years can be made into beautiful highlights, some of the actions he copied "hot sauce", but Zhou Xuan didn't eat feints at all, plus used his legs to block the breakthrough route, constantly disrupting his rhythm with the ball, and forced Rondo in the backcourt.

Rondo suddenly wanted to throw the ball aside, grabbed Zhou Xuan and asked, "Say, what is the purpose of your coming to Earth?" ”

Seeing that it was difficult to break through, Rondo passed the ball to House, and Ellis pressed again.

Houston was in a hurry, he played as a point guard for most of his career and was more of a shooting guard, and due to the Celtics' weaker point guard position, House often spent time on playmaking, but his crossover ability was similar to Tony's? Allen, like almost zero, looks awkward every time he dribbles the ball past half court, and if the opponent presses, due to his lack of height and lack of vision, House is likely to mispass the ball in a hurry or be directly copied by the opponent to launch a fast attack.

After playing for a year, Zhou Xuan's brain has become a database of NBA players, except for newcomers, there is no need to look at the information given by scouts, just look at the opponent's name to remember its characteristics.

House was also blocked, Pierce looked bad and hurried up to cover, Margeti broke through, House stumbled across the half, and hurried to Garnett at the top of the arc. Randolph Jr. defended behind his back, and Garnett passed to Pierce.

Margeti had retreated and was in front of Pierce. Pierce relied on his skills to beat Margeti, of course, but it was not an easy opportunity to open the spot, he took a step and wanted to pass Garnett, Zhou Xuan rushed up from behind, stabbed the basketball, and Rondo was let go. Randolph Jr. picked up the basketball.

A covert sneak attack. Rivers sighed in his heart, he felt that Zhou Xuan had the advantages of Rondo and Nash. You can defend, you can break through, and you can shoot. In addition, he is different from Paul and Delon. ABOUT 190CM TALL, HE IS BETTER AT DEFENSIVE MISALIGNMENT AND SHOOTING THAN PAUL, AND MUCH FASTER THAN DELON'S LATERAL SPEED, COUPLED WITH EXCELLENT PASSING VISION, HE IS SIMPLY A PERFECT POINT GUARD. There was only Gary before such a defender? Peyton.

At this time, Zhou Xuan took the ball to the left side, and after blocking and dismantling, he glanced at the middle, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand.

Garnett leaned forward, his feet did not move, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan's hands to be close, but he didn't use the "Buddha" feint, but took a quick step with his right leg, dribbled the ball under the crotch of his left hand and handed it to his right hand, and received a "killer crossover", which swept past Garnett's right side, and also shook off Rondo, who was chasing from behind. Perkins followed Ellis, and as soon as he turned his head, he found that Zhou Xuan rushed in and scored a backhand layup. 45 to 36.

Garnett, you are a cloud high up again, but unfortunately I want to climb to the top of the mountain, and you can only be below me! Zhou Xuan raised his head and glanced at Garnett. At this moment, Garnett had the illusion that this person who was only 190CM tall was very tall!

Rondo also relied on the cover to break through, and Randolph Jr. saw that he was going to pass, so he chose to foul and send Rondo to the free throw line.

Rondo missed both free throws and the rebound was picked up by Randolph.

Van Gundy said: "The score was pulled apart, the Celtics lost in misalignment, and Rondo's shooting was so poor that he couldn't attract defense compared to Zhou Xuan. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "Point guards who can shoot are always difficult to defend, and now the Knicks' Curry is the same, he is more accurate than Zhou Xuan, and his passing awareness is slightly worse." Rondo has to practice shooting if he wants to be a top defender. ”

Van Gundy said: "The Celtics players are definitely not as physical as the Warriors, and now the score is open, and it will be harder for them to catch up in the second half, and if Davis and Tony Allen are not injured, they have too few people to rotate right now. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "Zhou Xuan is stronger than last season, as long as he cuts off contact with his teammates in the past, the Warriors may fall into passivity, but now Zhou Xuan can also attack himself, there is a law Zhou Xuan scored more than 20 games, the Warriors almost never lost, and this season is still the same." ”

At halftime, the Warriors led by 9 points 54-45 and firmly controlled the situation, Zhou Xuan got 10 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and went to 20+10.

Smart praised the players in the dressing room. "Just play like this, keep it up and we'll definitely win, compress the defense, foul Rondo in time."

In the second half, Margeti and Azubuike served as the forwards, Ellis and Zhou Xuan formed the back line, and Randolph had a large and four small inside lines, relying on counterattacks to fight against the Celtics.

This is a clever strategy, the Warriors increase the number of rounds, and in order to defend against the fast break, the Celtics veterans have to run along, which consumes physical strength.

The Celtics let Ray Allen and Pierce step up their offense, and Garnett missed the outside shot, and their offense had to be open to win. The Warriors were not afraid of fouls, and if someone fouled too much, there were substitutes to make up for it, and soon the number of fouls in a single quarter reached four.

As soon as the Celtics had a quick break opportunity, the Warriors "cut Rondo". When the Celtics played the Rockets, they cut Ben Wallace, and Wallace immediately replaced him, but with this tactic against Rondo, is Rivers willing to replace Rondo?

Rondo wasn't replaced, and it would have been harder to play if House had organized the game, but Rondo had terrible free throws, all 1-of-2.

Some Chinese fans who watched the game on the Internet joked: "Rondo doesn't score free throws, how can he compare with Zhou Xuan?" ”

There are also those who express understanding for Rondo. "He's a good center, a lot of centers don't shoot free throws, don't hack him."

The Warriors' counterattack is very fast, but the Celtics are trapped in the joint defense, if the Celtics shoot on time, they may be able to easily handle the Warriors, but no matter how to block and dismantle, the most will fall into the situation of star attack, and the Warriors only need to be optimistic about Ray Allen and Pierce two outside shooting points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors continued to lead 78-70.

The inevitable decline in physical strength of the Celtics veterans in the fourth quarter was all about fighting the Warriors with a spirit. In order to strengthen the attack, he also replaced the veteran Rashid? Wallace, in place of Perkins.

After playing two minutes, "Magic" Johnson said: "Rondo broke through again and drew a foul and got a free throw...... Hey, he didn't score, he really didn't make a free throw. In this way, the opponent can feel free to foul when he sees him break through. ”

Van Gundy laughed: "In the long run, there may be a psychological shadow, so that he is not so confident when he breaks through, and he is afraid to stand on the free throw line." I don't think it's the most important thing that Rondo is not accurate from long distance, the most important thing is to get the free throws accurate. Because the probability of breaking through and causing a foul is very high. Even if Rondo conceded three fewer free throws per game, it would have helped the team a lot. ”

At this time, Ellis and Zhou Xuan seemed to teach Rondo a lesson, and they also relied on breakthroughs to make a foul each, and they both hit two free throws. Ellis shot 78 from the free-throw line. 9%, Zhou Xuan is higher 84. 5%。

Garnett was plagued by too many fouls, 5 fouls were replaced, Perkins and Rashid did not move fast enough, the Warriors counterattacked more resolutely, and Azubuke also grabbed a three-point shot, playing a wave of 10-2, and in the last three minutes, the difference widened to 14 points.

At the critical moment, the physical problems of the Celtics veterans also began to appear, Ray Allen's shooting was inaccurate, two three-pointers were missed, and the Celtics were gone. The Warriors beat their opponent 110-96 on the road to snap an 11-game winning streak.

Zhou Xuan had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 steals, and finished Rondo's 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Ellis was in astonishing form, scoring 34 points and five assists. Six Warriors scored in double figures.

Su Qun said: "This is not just a victory, the Warriors have ushered in the best start, and the devil's schedule of four consecutive away games has also been won. The Eastern Conference Cavaliers and Celtics couldn't end their winning streak, and I think that is a sign that the Warriors are truly a superpowerhouse. ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "As long as it continues, maybe Zhou Xuan has a chance to become the MVP of the regular season, the biggest personal honor, he has the MVP of the finals, he only lacks the regular season, and his rookie contract is not over yet." ”

Su Qun said: "He was born to create miracles, and I hope he can maintain the momentum." ”
