Zhou Xuan walked up to Gallinari, patted him on the back, and whispered, "Relax, your muscles are too tight, you don't need to bear more with us." ”

"Huh?"

The words that the coach had just finished saying were overturned by Zhou Xuan, and Gallinari was stunned for a moment.

"Tight muscles can increase the amount of force, but also affect the feel, Durant 84 kilograms of bench press can not do a single one, his upper body strength may not even be as good as mine, but he has a soft hand and won the scoring title. You've had a very high shooting percentage in the first two seasons, a lot like him, and I'm going to pass you the ball, I don't need you to be James, I just need you to be the best pitcher in the world. Zhou Xuan said as he walked on.

Zhou Xuan experienced this kind of thing, and he met Kolo at that time? Moretz. In order to enhance his fighting ability, Gallinari practiced hard in the gym, and as a result, his hand felt decreased. This situation Korver has also encountered in the Jazz, and the strength of the upper limbs will affect the feel to a certain extent, which is also for Howard and O'Neal who will never be able to practice mid-range shooting. If it was too much, Kidd did not recommend that Zhou Xuan train his upper body strength too well. You can't stretch your muscles when you break through, and now Gallinari accelerates in a straight line and rarely changes direction.

When Gallinari became famous in Europe, he was hailed as one of the best outside pitchers. There are many legends about him, one of which is that Gallinari "will never miss twice at the same point". However, in today's game, Gallinari's shooting was quite disappointing, missing three three-pointers in the bottom corner.

The game entered the fourth quarter. Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Gallinari, Anderson, and Stoudamire played.

The Celtics fielded Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.

Worried that the Knicks would use shark-cutting tactics, O'Neal was replaced. The Celtics bench had only Davis score 14 points, and the others didn't shoot well and played short minutes. Rondo only had a three-minute rest and the Celtics fought hard to win this game, and they didn't want to lose to the Knicks, who were the underdogs of last season.

The Celtics attacked first, Garnetra covered on the perimeter, Zhou Xuan observed the side with his peripheral vision, and when Garnett was about to come up, he retreated to the three-point line, dodged Garnett, and compressed the defense.

Rondo has been out for a few seasons and still rarely shoots three-pointers, even if they are open. Rondo didn't shoot the ball, broke through from the right side, and bumped into Zhou Xuan.

Garnett asked for a position while muttering to Anderson: "Let you have no scrap wood for the team to defend me, no one for the Knicks?" ”

Anderson is honest and doesn't talk back. Before entering the NBA, he treated Garnett as an idol, and after two seasons of playing, he has been in the opposite position a few times, and he has already served. Garnett will be non-stop trash talking, and the role players will not let it go.

Rondo couldn't break through, took the ball and withdrew from the outside, hanging it to Garnett. Garnett received the ball at a low post of 45 degrees on the right side, leaned on it and immediately turned to the middle to shoot a jumper, Anderson couldn't reach the basketball with all his strength, and his bounce was too poor. The goal was scored, 79-85.

When Garnett returned to defense, he shouted at Anderson: "Rookie, there's one more on my head, you shit." ”

"Ryan, Pick-and-Roll!" Zhou Xuan shouted at Anderson before half time with the ball.

Anderson immediately stood still, blocked Rondo a little forward on the halfway, and then dismantled and ran to the right, Zhou Xuan took the ball to avoid Rondo on the left.

Garnett was suddenly conflicted, with Zhou Xuan or with Anderson? He chose Zhou Xuan, that was the coach's arrangement, and he had to die Zhou Xuan to break through and pass. Zhou Xuan used a hook hand to pass the ball to Anderson during the run.

Anderson received the ball at 70 degrees on the right side and adjusted it slightly, made a three-point shot, and hollowed it into the net. 82 to 85. Zhou Xuan gave his 12th assist.

"Why don't you go on the defensive, old fellow? Scrapped? Zhou Xuan yelled at Garnett.

Garnett was disgusted, Anderson heard Zhou Xuan's roar, and his heart was a little moved, he began to believe that Zhou Xuan was a true leader, not only for his football skills, but also for his teammates. Obviously, the two entered the NBA in the same year, but Anderson had a strange feeling that Zhou Xuan was a veteran compared to himself.

"Cheer up, that guy is too old to be old, you won him!" When he arrived at the backfield, Zhou Xuan shouted again.

Anderson was a little weak by Garnett's blow, and he was ashamed of himself, but now Zhou Xuan shouted twice, and the team's morale came back at once.

Zhou Xuan was forced to stimulate Garnett, if he was more than two meters tall and went on his own, he was not perfect, he could only defend the outside, so he had to find a way to motivate his teammates.

Garnett asked for the ball at 45 degrees again, still the same person, leaning on Anderson, first dangling to the middle, then turning to the bottom line and backing for a jumper, and then entering! 82 to 87.

Garnett punched his chest defiantly.

Zhou Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and looked for Anderson to cover in the place just after halftime, this time Garnett didn't step forward, and waited in front of the three-point line in the middle, which could interfere with Zhou Xuan's shooting and Anderson.

Anderson was also smart this time, he didn't stand outside the three-point line, and rushed to the inside, while Zhou Xuan walked to the side with him. Perkins followed Stadamire on the right, Garnett had to retreat, and Zhou Xuan took a step forward from the left three-point line with the ball with both hands.

Rondo rushed up from behind and jumped up to block it, Zhou Xuan had already calculated his speed, but he was just shaking, and when Rondo flew in front of him, he jumped up with the ball and shot three points. He was very accurate when no one interfered, and the ball went into the net! 85 to 87. 14th individual point.

Su Qun said with a smile: "At the critical moment, the Knicks began to exert their power on the outside, and Zhou Xuan scored another three points. ”

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan has not broken through much in the new season, but his shooting is still very accurate, and many people are worried that he will be absent for too long to affect his feel, and I think he worked hard to practice shooting during the break." ”

The Knicks switched defenses, Stodammire went to fight Garnett, and Anderson targeted Perkins, so that the pressure on his personal defense was greatly reduced. In this round, Rondo relied on the cover and distributed the ball to Pierce.

Pierce singled out Gallinari, leaned on his back, turned to the bottom line on the left side, and resisted Gallinari with his body, jumping up with a small lever in the air to force a shot.

Gallinari had a poor offense today, didn't play much time, and was still full of physical strength, stretching out his long arms to interfere and the ball was missed. Zhou Xuan glanced at the situation and immediately turned around and hurried down.

Rondo rushed inside to grab the rebound, but Stoudeyer jumped up from behind to grab the rebound. Xiao Si landed and heard Zhou Xuan shouting, turned around and threw it to the front court. Rondo's active grabbing of rebounds can sometimes cause defensive misposition, Zhou Xuan single-handedly fast-breaking, turned around to catch the ball and glanced at it, no one followed, and scored an easy layup, 87-87.

The two sides were tied. Zhou Xuan scored his 16th personal point.

Rondo blocked the front court, and Zhou Xuan retreated back into the three-point line. Because he retreats inside, he can bypass the pick-and-roll defender, and if it's a guard who can shoot, he can't do that.

Rondo gritted his teeth this time and chose to shoot a three-pointer on the right side, the ball bounced out of the frame, and the rebound was picked up by Stadameyer.

Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, Rondo pressed, Zhou Xuan protected the ball with the width of the court, and Gallinari covered in the backcourt.

As soon as Zhou Xuan got rid of Rondo, a dislocation was formed on the court, and Pierce knew that he was slow and difficult to prevent a breakthrough, waiting in front of the three-point line, and Rondo was tantamount to doing useless work.

Zhou Xuan didn't have any feints with the ball, and rushed to the three-point line with a change of direction, attracting Pierce's defense. Pierce had to keep up, otherwise Zhou Xuan would make a quick stop jumper, and as soon as he pulled away, Zhou Xuan returned the ball to the middle. Gallinari catches the ball near the free throw line, ignores Rondo, and shoots a pull-up jumper.

WITH A HEIGHT OF 208CM VERSUS 185CM, RONDO REACTS QUICKLY AND CAN'T BE BLOCKED WHEN HE JUMPS. Gallinari scores on a mid-range shot. 89 to 87. Zhou Xuan gave his 13th assist.

The Celtics attacked, Zhou Xuan retracted into the three-point line, put Longduo two steps away, and prevented the breakthrough but not the shot.

At the critical moment, Rondo was let go again. Zhou Xuan followed him very tightly in the first three quarters, Rondo had few shooting opportunities, and in the fourth quarter, shooting became the best provocation. If he shoots, it's good for the Knicks because it's not very efficient.

The Celtics covered two inside lines without the ball, Pierce ran 60 degrees to the left, and Ray Allen ran back to the bottom corner on the right. If the interior player follows out of the line to change defenses, Rondo passes inside, Garnett can attack strongly, without changing defenses, Pierce and Ray Allen are easy to get shooting opportunities.

This is an important tactic for the Green Army. Zhou Xuan immediately made a choice, pounced on Pierce on the left, opened wide in the middle, and simply let Rondo break through, the bottom line Anderson went to defend Allen, and Matthews went to the low post to resist Perkins.

Rondo rushed inside with the ball, and Gallinari had already bypassed the cover at this time, made up for the defense in the middle, and directly fouled to prevent Rondo from making a layup.

Rondo was sent to the free-throw line, and as the league's weirdest defender free thrower, he had no smile on his face at all. It was an opportunity for the rest of the defender to score points, but he didn't take it.

The first free throw was deflected, and the second free throw bounced twice on the basket before popping out of the frame and Anderson picked up the rebound. Rondo followed Zhou Xuan and wanted to fight back on the spot.

Anderson handed it to Matthews, and then helped Zhou Xuan get rid of Rondo without the ball to receive the basketball, Rondo was very positive, but failed to break Zhou Xuan's ball once.

Several players pulled out of the outside line again, Zhou Xuan and Stoudeyer blocked at the top of the arc, Zhou Xuan broke through from the right side with the ball, and made a "killer crossover", passed Garnett in one step, brought the ball to the bottom line and suddenly turned around and jumped.

Garnett jumped up to block on the side, but Zhou Xuan did not shoot, but moved to a 60-degree angle on the left side in a wide range. Just now, Perkins watched Stodamimair squeeze Rondo through the middle, and hurriedly retreated to block it, leaking Anderson on the perimeter.

Anderson received the ball and made a jumper with almost no adjustment, and the action was very standard, hollow into the net. 92-87, Zhou Xuan delivered his 14th assist.

TCeltics coach Docs Doc Rivers saw that the situation was not right and asked for a timeout.

Barkley laughed: "Anderson was just the third bench on the inside in the Magic, his playing time was very short, and he didn't play much with the Nets, and now the first two games of the Knicks are too eye-catching, and today he made three more three-pointers and scored 11 points." ”

Smith said: "He's playing a bit like Channing on the Suns right now? Frye, the big man pulls out to shoot threes, and Perkins' low-post defensive role can't be played. The marginalized waited until spring. ”
