Biedrins blocked Du Hong, and Zhou Xuan had already observed David Lee's position and chose to break through from the right side.

David Lee changed the defense a little slower, Zhou Xuan rushed over as soon as he accelerated, and directly held the ball into the basket, Harrington followed Randolph without making up the defense, and Zhou Xuan easily made a layup. 2 to 0.

The ease of this attack made Zhou Xuan feel unbelievable, David Lee had been Randolph's substitute last season and did not have many opportunities to perform. As soon as Randolph left this year, his average per game soared to 15. 2 points 10. 7 rebounds and 2 assists. On the offensive end, he can play a big role, but he is not good at defense. And Zhou Xuan, the Knicks' other interior Harrington's weakness, is also well known, and he is confident that he can play well after today's misalignment.

The two big players are absent, and whether the team can maintain the winning rate depends on him and the fat man. Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan was not only depressed, but also felt that his blood was boiling, and the main player was injured, which was also a good opportunity for role players to prove themselves! Previously, he had defined himself as a role player so that he wouldn't be offended by the veterans. And now, he unceremoniously sees himself as the core of the outside line!

The Knicks attacked, and David Lee and Harrington pulled out the perimeter together. Compared to Randolph, David Lee's low-post offense is nothing to praise, and although it is much better than his frontcourt partner Harrington's back-to-back offense, it is not too efficient. His advantage is that he can play better in the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, and the D'Antoni system is a pick-and-roll in addition to running and shooting.

After Dujon broke through, the ball was distributed to the middle, Randolph followed Duhon, Biedrins followed out to defend Harrington, and Zhou Xuan faced David Lee in the high post and interfered in front of him. He doesn't have close defense, it doesn't work, the opponent's physique can resist him at once, don't look at David Lee is a white man, his physical fitness is great, he used to win the McDonald's Dunk Contest by stripping and dunking off the festival, and he has a lot of strength.

David Lee didn't dribble the ball after turning around, and shook his head in the face of Zhou Xuan and directly pulled out the jump shot. 2 to 2.

Hell, this guy is too tall, how can I guard the jumper? Zhou Xuan couldn't think of an idea, the best way was to disrupt the shooting rhythm closely, but his physique was too weak, and it was easy to be squeezed out, and unless he exercised his body well, he would not be able to prevent blocking and dismantling.

The Warriors attacked, Randolph pulled to the perimeter to cover, this time Harrington changed the defense, Zhou Xuan walked on the right side with the ball to bypass Duhon, and Randolph cut inside. This is one of the tactics often played by the Warriors, Harrington immediately retreated to block Randolph, as soon as he withdrew, Zhou Xuan jumped and threw a shot, the two seemed to have discussed it, Du Hong caught up from the side and was too late to block.

Zhou Xuan calculated the opponent's psychology. He threw the ball very comfortably, the rhythm was perfect, and the hollow went into the net. 4 to 2.

Harrington is the one who plays pick-and-roll with the Warriors and Zhou Xuan. He had the impression that Zhou Xuan would usually pass to his teammates who cut inside, and rarely chose to shoot, Zhou Xuan scored less in these games, which left people with the feeling that he would not attack easily.

TNT radio commentator Barkley shouted: "Zhou Xuan scored two more points, how can this ball be defended?" The Knicks opened the game by exposing the problem of pick-and-roll, and they played two in a row. ”

Kenny? Smith smiled: "After Jackson's injury, Zhou Xuan seemed to want to take on the responsibility of the outside offense, and he played very actively, but the Warriors' defense also had big problems. ”

Du Hong dribbled the ball through the half, and Zhou Xuan defended closely. Du Hong won the 2000 McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Contest, and is also an important outside firepower point at Duke University, Zhou Xuan didn't dare to let him shoot three points easily.

Dujon is a traditional PG, faithfully executing tactical intentions and not messing around, this ball Harrington came out to cover, and Biedrins switched defenses. Du Hong hung a high ball to Harrington, but as soon as he shot the ball, Zhou Xuan jumped up with all his strength and slapped the ball directly to the front court.

Zhou Xuan expected that Du Hong would cross the middle, and also knew that Harrington had a habit of receiving the ball in the face frame. This allows you to shoot faster, unlike Randolph, who likes to catch the ball with his back to defend against defenders before playing.

Harrington has a height advantage, and there is generally no problem with receiving the ball in the face frame, but Zhou Xuan takes advantage of this to dare to gamble on steals. He jumped with all his might, and he was facing the Knicks basket to shoot the ball out, and Harrington turned around when he landed, and Zhou Xuan had a greater chance of picking up the basketball.

Harrington turned around and was 0. In 5 seconds, Zhou Xuan had already jumped out, left Harrington behind him and got the basketball first, leaned on Du Hong, who was chasing the defense, and made a fast layup. 6 to 2.

Barkley shook his head and said: "A passing error, Zhou Xuan scored six points in a row, what is New York trying to do, let the rookie cut 40+?" And all three goals were easy. ”

Smith watched the replay and said: "I think this break is still very skillful, when Du Hong broke through, Zhou Xuan did not block the breakthrough, but took a step back, with space to jump, I think his defense is not as bad as rumored by the outside world, when playing the Pistons, he accurately predicted that Starkey gave a big hat." ”

In the audience, the Chinese fans were very excited, and several students who supported Zhou Xuan chatted.

One said: "If he had attacked like this earlier, maybe he wouldn't have lost four in a row." ”

Another person agreed: "Yes, Jackson didn't play today, maybe he is a cancer, as long as he is in Zhou Xuan, he has to pass the ball." ”

Jackson was so innocent. Very few players are balanced offensively and defensively, and they all have shortcomings, except for a few superstars, who may be able to do cancer.

On the defensive end, Azubuke was turned away by Crawford, and Randolph didn't know how to make up for it under the basket, watching Crawford hit a jumper from the right. 6 to 4.

In the next round, Randolph faced David Lee in the low post and reached for the ball, which he hadn't touched in the past few rounds. He muttered in his heart: "Is there any mistake, didn't you say that positional warfare is a combination of internal and external, why did you play by yourself?" ”

Zhou Xuan passed to Azubuuk, who hoisted to the low post Randolph singles. The two used to be teammates and knew each other very well, and Randolph was too confident in playing David Lee, and after receiving the ball, he arched twice to the inside and turned to the middle.

Quentin? Richardson also knew what level Randolph was in the low post, and David Lee couldn't prevent it and withdrew to the low post to help defend. Originally, it was said that he wanted to attract the bag to pass to his teammates and get an easy shooting opportunity, but Azubuuk was empty, but Randolph forgot about the pass, and only had the basket in his eyes, and forced a jump shot under the bag of Richardson and David Lee, and the rebound was obtained by Harrington, and the Knicks' counterattack came.

Old Nelson was very excited to see Zhou Xuan score continuously, and then looked at Randolph's ball, and sighed in his heart, Randolph has the ability, but the ball quotient is still a little lower, and he can't respond to the offense as well as a top power forward, if he can solve this problem, even if the data is reduced, it will help the team more.

The Knicks countered very quickly, and the ball was passed to Richardson, who in turn passed to Crawford. Crawford accelerated past Morrow with a change of direction, Moreau did not foul, and Crawford made an easy layup. 6 to 6.

In the summer, the Knicks wanted to trade Crawford away, but they couldn't afford the chips given by other teams. Originally, I had a good talk with the Warriors, but Zhou Xuan came, and the Warriors were not interested in strengthening the guards, so they changed their positions to chase Randolph, so Crawford stayed in the team and continued to attack wildly, and the defense was still the same. D'Antoni must admit that Crawford is a strong attacking point, although he likes to go it alone and hates it, he can't open up the situation but can play a role, so he will be used this season, and wait until the summer if the statistics are good and then consider replacing him.

Kenny? Smith smiled: "If it goes on like this, it's easy to play a high score, both sides are strong in attack and weak in defense, and Crawford's individual ability is very strong." ”

Barkley said: "I think he's an underrated person, I don't understand what he likes to say about him as a cancer, he can contribute 20 points per game, his dribbling skills are very good, and his shooting percentage is not low, especially on the outside." But his defense is really not good. ”

Zhou Xuan received the baseline ball and said loudly to Randolph: "Zach, have you forgotten what the coach said before the game?" Draw the bag and pass the ball! ”

Being shouted by a rookie player like this on the field was the first time in Randolph's career, but he didn't lose his temper, but remembered what Zhou Xuan had said to him in the locker room before the game.

"Did you read the news? There are a lot of people on the Internet waiting to see your jokes, they say that you are a cancer, and now you are here to scourge the warriors again. I don't think you're a cancer, we don't think you're a cancer, but you have to prove it with your actions, you can do it, you can be a selfless player, a well-rounded power forward. When attacking, if you're packed, remember to say to yourself: 'I'm going to work with my teammates!' I'm not a cancer. ’”

"I'm going to work with my teammates! I'm not a cancer. Randolph went to the low post again and said to himself. After years of losing, he didn't lose all his blood, he wanted to win!

Azubuuk hoisted the ball in again, Randolph took the ball and dribbled twice, and Richardson stepped forward again to help defend, the kind of ball Randolph usually played on his own last season. That's why, Nate? Robinson was in a hurry with him at one point. But this time, Randolph passed and sent the ball out of the line with both hands to Azubuuk, who was 60 degrees to the left. Azubuuk was very well prepared, slightly adjusted the open position jumper, Richardson rushed out of the hole again to interfere too late, the ball in! 9 to 6.

"Well passed, Zach!" Zhou Xuan shouted at Randolph.

Randolph smiled and strode back to the defense, and the joint defense was in position.

Nelson Sr. was determined that as long as Randolph could always play like this in the low post, there would be hope for the Warriors. Zhou Xuan and Randolph talked more than the coaching staff talked.

Du Hong and David Lee played another block, this time Randolph did not change the guard, followed David Lee, Zhou Xuan bypassed the cover side to chase Du Hong, Du Hong seemed to lack of confidence in shooting, and passed to David Lee. Under Randolph's interference, David Lee hit a jumper after stepping in, but Randolph didn't cover it. 9 to 8.

The Warriors attacked again, Biedrins pulled to the perimeter to cover, Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side and faced Harrington, this time Harrington wanted to step forward to block Zhou Xuan, so that he could not comfortably send the ball to the inside.

Zhou Xuan gently probed his left shoulder, dribbled the ball under his left crotch to his right hand, and made a cross-step change of direction to break through, passing Harrington in one step. If the big man guards the small one too closely, it is easy to get into this situation. Zhou Xuan brought a 45-degree emergency stop to the right side and hit the board. 11 to 8.
