Chapter 937 [A Team Without Weaknesses]
NBA stars who followed the first game online updated their tweets and expressed their thoughts.
"Assassin" Isaiah Thomas said: "Last season, Zhou Xuan averaged less than 20 assists per game, and I think he should be able to do it in this Finals. He reminds me of a pole vaulter who broke records every time, and broke himself. He is unique in the world. β
Karl Malone said: "Every once in a while, there is such a monster in the league that rules the league and dominates the game. The last one was Michael Jordan, and now it's Zhou Xuan's turn. He made the game suspenseless and made the opponent feel helpless. β
ESPN expert Nicholas said: "I said before that 'Superman is really a zΓ i, he is a Chinese'. Now I feel that 'God really exists, he is Chinese.' Although Zhou Xuan hasn't won the sixth championship yet, I think he has surpassed Michael Jordan. β
This is the highest rating Zhou Xuan has received so far, and ESPN has hardcore Xuan Mi.
"At first I thought I was better than him, but today he's so much better than me, he's always getting stronger and people can't see where his ceiling is," Wade said. LeBron didn't know how to beat Zhou Xuan and win the championship in the Heat, so he left, and I can understand his approach. It's a pity that when it comes to the knight, he is still a lot worse. β
Lance Stephenson said: "I've been teammates with him for many years, he's not a normal person at all, have you ever seen someone who can read a player's profile twice and memorize it in his head? Have you ever seen a ball pass on the pitch when you know everyone is running? As long as you are free and comfortable, your eyes can't keep up with him as a passer. A lot of times I don't know how he got it. He's a real genius, or rather a monster. β
McGee played a funny spirit, he said: "I played against Zhou Xuan, he beat me several times in a game, and I felt bad when he passed the ball, especially when he was under the basket. I think the scientists should catch him and do it, he is not fit to stay in the league. It's an ordinary person's sport, and Superman should do something else, like saving the world, researching a cure for cancer, inventing Transformers, and so on. β
The comments of online fans are more interesting, posting that there are several women who want to give birth to Zhou Xuan, and they don't need to be responsible, but they just think that Zhou Xuan's children inherit genius genes and will be very smart.
"Bright Moon Night" said: "There is no family planning in the United States, Zhou Xuan should get married and have more children." 20 years later, Chinese basketball has risen! The five starters of the national team have four surnames Zhou and one surname Yao. β
"People don't be obscene teenagers" said: "Is Zhou Xuan really unique? More than a billion Chinese can't find a second one? Strongly build a basketball association reform system, and China will also engage in drafts in the future. Maybe there are people like him who don't have a chance to fight, so that the related households will occupy the quota. β
"Little Dragon Girl Haoming" said: "Zhou Xuan's four consecutive championships can indeed be compared with Jordan. It's a pity that Jordan went to play baseball, and if he didn't play, the Bulls might have been able to complete 4 consecutive championships or more, and the Rockets were not too strong at that time. β
"Sigh understand" said: "Chinese basketball has also raised its eyebrows in the world, although there is only one person. It's a pity that if Zhou Xuan doesn't come back to play Asian-level competitions, I'm afraid that he won't be able to enter the Olympics next year. β
The teams selected for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics include the host country, the champions of each state, two in the Americas and Europe, one each except Antarctica, the world champions, and the top three in the Olympic qualification competition. If Zhou Xuan does not participate in this summer's Asian Championships, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to beat Iran and may lose their qualification for the Olympics.
In fact, it is difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to beat Japan, South Korea, Taipei, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, and it is difficult to meet Iran. Whether Zhou Xuan will participate in the Asian Championships is also a hot issue on the news.
Zhou Xuan had already made a decision to travel with Kolo Moretz and participate in Asian-level competitions, which did not mean much to him personally, and he planned to wait for the announcement after returning to China.
The second battle continued in New York.
Zhou Xuan said that the Clippers must have an overall shooting rate of more than 60% to have a chance to win, and they must ensure efficiency, which exerts a lot of psychological pressure on the Clippers players. Especially Jordan Jr. He was afraid of free throws, for fear that the opponent would foul again after grabbing a rebound under the basket.
The pressure on other Clippers players is also not small. As in the same situation encountered by the Cavaliers, he was "awake and hypnotized" by Zhou Xuan.
The coaching staff and players are very clear that Zhou Xuan said these words to disturb their thoughts, make them nervous and uncomfortable. But looking at the numbers listed on the news, the Knicks do have a terrible shooting rate and amazing attack power.
Zhou Xuan was interviewed after training and listed all the weaknesses of the Clippers, poor inside free throws, average shooting ability of small forwards, and Tekoglu's slow speed and inability to prevent it. As soon as Paul got off the court, the Clippers were like a different team, the offense was not organized, and it was easy to mess up. It's all on the minds of the Clippers' coaching staff.
And they can't solve it. The most amazing coach can't make Jordan Jr. a free thrower. Even if Paul played all the games, his role was still a little worse than Zhou Xuan's.
Before entering Madison Square Garden, the Clippers players saw fans gathered in Times Square waving flags and cheering, ready to celebrate the championship. After the players played, the cheers of the fans made the Clippers even more demoralized. These cheers are not for them, they are villains here. The fans did not boo them, they just cheered, as if waiting to see the heroes of the ancient arena defeat their opponents and gain glory.
The Knicks played heavy metal music at home, which was used in the "Pacific Rim" movie, and Zhou Xuan's cool appearance brought the atmosphere up.
He first changed his magic. Five or six fireballs were thrown out in a row, igniting the fireworks prepared at the entrance of the passage. I didn't use special effects, but I just prepared the fire paper used by magicians and threw it out, which was not very difficult, and the effect produced was shocking.
The sneakers worn by Zhou Xuan are not the latest generation of mages launched by Nike for him, but sneakers that symbolize the water system. In the commercial, he plays basketball with monsters from the sea, and the clippers happen to be related to water.
CCTV5 Su Qun sighed: "Zhou Xuan's appearance is like a movie, and he also showed his magical-style advertisements before." β
Yang Jian said: "The current Knicks are the hottest team in the world that integrates entertainment, special effects, stars, and team basketball. Overwhelmed the Clippers in momentum. β
There are not many people in the world who think that the Clippers can win, and this is the highest level of domination, the army that surrenders without a fight. By creating an atmosphere and media hype, the Clippers are completely inferior in morale, which is a great test for the psychology of the players.
TNT Radio Smith said: "I saw a report before, and I was going to compile Zhou Xuan's words at the press conference into the university textbook, the Department of Psychology. What do you think? β
Barkley laughed: "I don't think it's surprising for anything to happen to this guy, like he got another 30 assists today. β
Last season, a psychologist analyzed the reasons for the Knicks' win, what Zhou Xuan said in an interview. And after they defeated the Cavaliers to enter the finals, someone was ready to compile Zhou Xuan's speech in the interview into university textbooks.
A professor at Columbia University publicly stated: "Zhou Xuan is the best person to apply psychology to the competition, and Duncan is the second." Duncan only controlled himself, but Zhou Xuan controlled his opponents on a certain course. I even suspect that if he wanted to, he could hypnotize the opposing player on the court and let the opponent watch him shoot casually throughout the game. He didn't do it because it would lose the meaning of the game and make it boring. β
Relying on some details to trigger hypnotic conditions, Zhou Xuan has indeed studied it, and it is something idealistic. He never thought of using it on the court, and he wouldn't bring a pocket watch, a three-dimensional picture, a lighter, a highlighter, anything like that, to talk to an opponent, that would be weird. He's already the best player within the rules.
Once the game started, the Knicks took the initiative again.
The Clippers can't wrap up Zhou Xuan. The Knicks can wrap Paul and Griffin, as long as they let Jordan Jr. go. Jordan Jr. could only cut to the basket and rush to the frontcourt to grab the rebound. He rebounds a lot, and it has to do with the opponent's ignorance of him. If the opponent defends him tightly, I'm afraid that the number jΓΉ will be discounted.
If he can't dunk directly after grabbing a rebound, a nearby player will foul him and send him to the free throw line. Jordan Jr. is still a burden on the offensive end. The Warriors had previously won the Clippers once with their "shark-slashing tactics." The inside hero of the last series was Hawes, not Jordan Jr.
Against Kanter, Hawes can play for a long time and won't be an obvious hole, although Curry will rely on cover to score a lot of points, at least he can't keep sending good shots like Zhou Xuan. Playing the Knicks, Hawes's playing time was shortened.
Substitute contest in the second quarter. Barnes and Crawford played well on offense and counter-attacked when they got the chance. And Knicks Jefferson took the bench and dominated the interior attack, and Beasley also singled out Turkoglu to score twice.
In the summer, the Clippers didn't think about bringing in Beasley to bolster their forward. Although Beasley's agent contacted them, the Clippers now have a bit of a regret about the two benches. Worrying that you can't control Beasley is also a kind of lack of self-confidence.
In the second half, Zhou Xuan came on the court and constantly created misplaced opportunities for the inside, allowing Bosh and Jefferson to attack Smith, causing Smith to commit three fouls. It's a dead end for the Clippers, and once Smith goes down, the No. 3 position is without height and defenders.
If the interior line does not change defenses, Leonard and Parsons can catch the ball after covering without the ball. At halftime, the Knicks led by 18 points, and the two teams didn't seem to be in the same class.
The Finals played like this, and Knicks fans were happy. Rather a headache for the president of the alliance, Adam Silva. He didn't want the finals to be one-sided, and that would make a lot less money.
Before the game started, he also thought that the Clippers could cause problems for the Knicks this time. As Zhou Xuan said, if you want to beat them, first of all, the team must not have obvious weaknesses, whether it is offensive or defensive.
