Chapter 620 [Easy 40+]

Zhou Xuan scored 24 points in a single quarter, but did not have an assist, this is not a typical mage play, but it is very powerful and passionate.

After the last attack, the home fans chanted "MVP".

Zhang Li sighed: "In the opening game, some fans shouted MVP, and Zhou Xuan completely conquered New York. ”

"No one in the United States has done this, James and Kobe have never received such treatment, Zhou Xuan's popularity is too high, as long as the record is guaranteed, he is likely to win the MVP for a second time." Yu Jia said with a smile.

The Knicks led 35-29, Zhou Xuan took up a lot of shots, and the other players didn't shoot much.

ESPN expert Nicholas, who followed the game online, said: "I think ABC Radio will definitely regret not broadcasting this game live, Zhou Xuan's shooting rate is too high, how to shoot." ”

This is the result of practicing shooting until the beginning of the season, and Zhou Xuan has already remembered the feeling of shooting in each position and developed a habit. As long as the opponent can't cover him, he dares to shoot, as long as he glances at the basket, he can ensure good efficiency, his shooting ability is not inferior to Nash, and he is more passionate than Nash, more daring to shoot.

Nash will never shoot indefinitely just because he plays a team that doesn't have a strong defense. So even if teammates, head coaches, and pundits say that Nash can average 30 points per game if he wants to, no one will believe it because he has never done that.

Zhou Xuan took the towel handed by Novak, wiped his face, and sat down on the sidelines to rest.

The Knicks were replaced by Miller, Matthews, Leonard, Gallinari, Chandler. Before the game, the three Mike studied the Warriors' lineup, and the Warriors brought in Brian, who is good at shooting threes, inside the bench? Cook, this man is very tall and soft, and Gallinari has no problem guarding him.

Center Warriors on Kwame? Brown, outside Garcia, Rush, Ellis. Ellis averaged the most minutes per game last season, with more than 40 minutes per game, and his rest was often after the fourth quarter turned into garbage time or when the team was leading by a large margin. Falling behind like this, he didn't go down in the second quarter.

The score was deadlocked, and Ellis relied on his speed to hit Miller twice. Rush hit a three-pointer. Garcia and Leonard couldn't help each other. Chandler's Kwame Brown could only follow the switchback. On the offensive end, Chandler was only responsible for blocking and rebounding.

At 5 minutes, Ellis broke through and caused Miller's third foul of the game, hitting both free throws, and Zhou Xuan immediately replaced Miller as point guard.

The Warriors did not make substitutions, and Zhou Xuan relied on the right side of the dislocation to face Cook on the court, relied on speed to open up a distance, and jumped to the basket. Brown made up for the defense, Zhou Xuan jumped up and sent the ball from Brown's waist to the left side when the two were about to collide, and Chandler received the ball and scored with both hands. Zhou Xuan gave his first assist of the game.

Warriors substitution, Dominic? McGuire came on and replaced Cook. This is a blue-collar man, 206CM tall, with strong mobility on the defensive end, and the coach wants him to break through the defensive guards.

Zhou Xuan quickly announced that the Warriors' plan had failed, and he dodged the defender by relying on a double block, misplaced against Brown, and stepped back from the left baseline to shoot the ball.

Brown was also the target of the empty end of the offensive end, and in order to strengthen the offense, the Warriors replaced Brown a minute later and replaced him with David Lee.

Yu Jia joked: "Brown only played 6 minutes before he went off, his playing time was shorter than Turyaf, the two have similar styles, both are interior blue-collar, this season the Warriors offered Brown a one-year contract worth $7 million, it's crazy." ”

"Brown averaged six per game in his career. 8 points 5. 6 rebounds, and he still had a league base salary with the Bobcats last season. In order to clear the salary space, the Warriors sent Randolph away, did not renew Martin's contract, and no one was available on the inside, and if they didn't sign Brown, only Turiaf would be supported on the inside. It's understandable to sign a one-year contract and gamble on free agency next season. ”

After another minute of play, Ellis was also off the bench, and Curry came on to provide outside firepower. Rush and Garcia both hit three-pointers to get the score back. The Warriors' four swingmen are all good, and this is a tradition left over from the 2009 championship. It's a pity that they don't defend as hard as they used to. Garcia returned from injury and was not as good as he was when he was with the Kings.

The Knicks replaced Stoudemire and replaced Chandler, and the Knicks formed an all-offensive lineup. The main purpose of the inside line is to open up space and create opportunities for Zhou Xuan.

3 minutes and 16 seconds, Zhou Xuan misplaced David Lee pulled up and scored a layup.

At 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Curry made a mistake in passing, and Battier broke the ball and passed to Zhou Xuan for a fast-break layup to score.

At 1 minute and 53 seconds, Zhou Xuan's Hawks on the right side attacked and run, took the ball on the baseline to avoid David Lee, and faked to break through and cause Curry to foul, and hit both free throws.

In 34 seconds, David Lee made a mistake in passing, Leonard broke the ball, and Zhou Xuan hit a three-point shot at 60 degrees on the right side.

Zhou Xuan scored 35 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the half, and the Knicks led by 11 points at 66-55.

Zhang Li said: "Zhou Xuan is likely to cut the first 50+ of the season. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "If the number of shots is guaranteed, 60+ is also possible." Today he had a high percentage of hits. ”

In the dressing room, D'Antoni told his players: "It's not just about winning, it's about winning big and getting the season off to a good start. Tyson, you rest first in the second half, Amare and Ryan partner inside, pull out Lu to cover, and help Zhou create misplaced singles opportunities. Danilo has the ball on the outside, pay attention, Wesley waits for an opportunity in the corner, and if there is an open spot, you can shoot again, understand? ”

As long as the warriors are not trapped, Zhou Xuan has a way to break through. The bag is simpler, he passes the ball to the perimeter pitcher, and he gets an easy chance. The Warriors couldn't do anything with Zhou Xuan, so D'Antoni gave Chandler a rest, and he wanted to beat his opponent with offense.

In addition, D'Antoni hopes that Zhou Xuan will score more points and take a closer step to establish a central position. Stoudamire's edge has been completely obscured, and some people in the Suns still say that he is the real core, Nash relies on him to succeed, and now the Knicks, all the praise is given to Zhou Xuan. Superstars will make teammates look dull, and Zhou Xuan is no longer the low-key point guard he was back then.

At the beginning, Xiao Si would shout out that he would score 80 points if he was given 40+ shots, but now he is powerless, he has been resting during the holidays, and after the training camp opened, he found that his explosiveness was not as good as before.

People often compare Xiao Si to "Rain Man" Kemp, who are both brutal and violent insiders. After indulging in alcohol during the camp shutdown in 1998, he became a fat man and his form gradually declined. At that time, Xiao Si only felt that it was a joke, and he would not be the same as him, but he also began to decline during the shutdown.

All three Mikes on the coaching staff spotted the problem. Therefore, when arranging Zhou Xuan's unlimited power, he no longer asked Xiao Si's opinion.

On the Warriors' side, Jackson arranged for the players to defend together. "32 joint defense pay attention to contraction, if Zhou Xuan breaks through, immediately wrap him, force him to pass the ball to the periphery, and can't let him score easily!"

Jackson also said: "Attack, you have to increase your passing, ensure efficiency, Monta, don't compete with Zhou Xuan, we can't play like this." ”

Ellis has always targeted Zhou Xuan, and the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger. Zhou Xuan became the MVP, but he couldn't even enter the star game, which made him want to compete.

However, Zhou Xuan has absolute privileges in the Knicks, and the coach does not allow Ellis to shoot all the time, so he can only obey the arrangement.

The race is on.

The Warriors attacked first, and Curry and Ellis formed a two-guard guard. After a few blocks, Curry got rid of Zhou Xuan, distanced himself from Xiao Si, and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 66 to 57.

On the defensive end, Ellis defended Zhou Xuan more tightly. Zhou Xuan went to the front court and passed to Gallinari, cut in the middle, and all four of them pulled out. Stadameyer reached the top position. After two passes, Anderson passed the ball in the bottom corner to Zhou Xuan, who was low on the right.

He's going to be beaten in the back? Ellis immediately realized Zhou Xuan's plan. Last season, he felt that Zhou Xuan's back skills were stronger than the original, and he got Miller's true biography. If there's a point guard who has the best back, it's Miller, and that's his signature.

Zhou Xuan took a step with the ball on his back, his right foot was the axis, his right shoulder shook lightly, his left foot took a small step towards the bottom line, and then shook his left shoulder, Ellis's body moved horizontally, Zhou Xuan's left foot retracted and strode towards the middle, turned around to the middle, pulled the ball up, and leaned back.

Ellis thought he was going to step back and jump, so he hurriedly stepped forward, but Zhou Xuan just leaned over, his legs didn't move, and he shrank and jumped forward and hit Ellis.

Ellis's body was outside the reasonable collision area and would not be whistled for a foul, but Zhou Xuan couldn't jump up when he jumped forward, and he couldn't block it. David Lee didn't have the awareness to come up to make up for the defense at all, Zhou Xuan threw the ball with one hand, and scored the 37th point personally! 68 to 57.

Zhang Li shouted: "Zhou Xuan should be very powerful if he is 210CM tall to play the center, but few people can defend it with this step." ”

Yu Jia sighed: "It would be good if Yi Jianlian would make these two moves, the UAE's footsteps are still weak, and I don't know when he will be able to represent the Mavericks." ”

If it is 210CM, Zhou Xuan's confrontation will be a problem, which is also a common problem for Chinese players. Smaller players tend to be more agile on their feet.

The Warriors attacked, Ellis broke through and gave the ball to the bottom corner Rush, Xiao Si and Anderson are not good at defending the periphery, and the bottom corner was vacated when they contracted, Gallinari was blocked by Garcia at 45 degrees, and Rush received the ball and easily shot the ball in. 68 to 60.

D'Antoni shook his head from the sidelines, Chandler didn't play, and the Knicks defended poorly.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan ran to the weak side. Ellis took the front this time around. Zhou Xuan was not stuck, he turned around and ran, and the two of Stadamier and Anderson in the middle blocked and dismantled the "closing the door", and the Cavaliers football tactics appeared. Ellis and David Lee were blocked by the human wall, and Turyaf was slow to get out.

Gallinari passed the ball to the middle on the right side, Zhou Xuan stepped out of the three-point line in one step, received the ball and turned around to shoot, the action was smooth, without dragging the mud and water, this kind of turning and jumping shot is difficult, he often practices in the team, can avoid the block, and then find the basket in the air. The ball arc is perfect, and the hollow is in the net!

Zhou Xuan cut 40+ at the beginning of the second half!
