Chapter 117: [Alternative Lineup]
Lin Jing thought that Zhou Xuan was going to talk about the history of hard struggle. But as the show progressed, people felt that he was more like a super genius than a mortal who struggled. Zhou Xuan also doesn't like to talk too much about the past, he prefers to look forward to the future and see what heights he can reach in the future.
"I can't say what the team's goals are, but personally, I have two big goals this season, the first is to win the regular season assists and the second is to get the Rookie of the Year."
After listening to Zhou Xuan, the audience applauded. A second-round rookie who has such a goal in his first season of his career is too confident, and he has a good chance of succeeding.
Lin Jing asked: "With your outstanding performance during this time, your call for being selected for the All-Star Game is very high, do you have any feelings?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Of course I really want to participate in the Star Game, I hope the fans can vote for me, participating in the Star Weekend is very meaningful, it is an affirmation of the strength of the players." Also, I hope the fans will vote for Randolph and Jackson, who have star quality but have never been selected, which is a shame. ”
It doesn't matter if the fans buy Zhou Xuan or not, as long as the two teammates know that he said these words, they will definitely know his feelings, which is also a good opportunity to enhance friendship.
Lin Jing asked, "Let's ask a more personal question, do you have a girlfriend?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Xuan nodded, his tone was unconsciously gentle, and said lightly: "She may be watching this program on TV, she is Chinese." ”
The audience was very surprised, this was the first time that Zhou Xuan showed that he had a girlfriend, and he was not one of the Olsen sisters, and the scandal was self-defeating. However, Zhou Xuan was reluctant to say too much about Nie Yuyan, so as not to harass her by reporters, and he knew that Nie Yuyan didn't like to be on camera.
The 15-minute interview ended quickly, and the program team also sent their blessings to the Warriors, wishing them good results this year.
After this show, Zhou Xuan believes that his popularity will increase, and his goal has been achieved.
When he returned to the apartment, the Bulls vs. Trail Blazers game was over. 74-116, the Bulls, who lost two starters, were cleaned up without temper. Derek? Rose played 30 minutes, shooting 1-of-8 and finishing with six points and one assist.
Reviews from American basketball experts are often unreliable. Rose's template for entering the league is Kidd, but he is not like Kidd at all, he plays mostly by himself after breaking through, and is not pass-oriented like Kidd. If there is no Zhou Xuan to compare here, Rose would have played well, but all fans will feel that this champion is a bit bad when compared, and Rose is only ranked third behind Zhou Xuan and Mayo in the best rookie selection.
Mayo's data is good, and there is a momentum to grab the boss with Gay, but the Grizzlies have a bad record, if the Warriors make the playoffs at the end of the regular season, Zhou Xuan's data is as beautiful as it is now, and he will definitely be elected the best rookie, which will be a shocking upset, the best rookie with the lowest pick in history.
Because of the Bulls' fiasco, the Warriors players were in a relaxed mood, thinking that the win was nine out of ten, and they felt that it was not the Bulls, but the snowflake fat cows, and they were waiting to treat their group of warriors when they were roasted on the stove.
Starting striker Lowe? Deng and center Joaquin? Noah will remain sidelined. Deng is very strong defensively, has a good offense, and is an important member of the Bulls. Noah's offense is poor, his stats are not good, and he is a rough brother, and his mid-range shooting posture is even a little weird, but his defense is also indispensable for the Bulls. If the two don't fight, the strength of the Bulls will drop significantly.
Moreover, there have been discordant voices within the bulls lately.
Since the start of the season, Bulls champion Derek? Rose has been playing very little in the fourth quarter, and Bulls head coach Del? Nigro and General Manager John? Paxson seems to be at odds on this issue, and they spoke specifically about it before the away game. But in the game of losing to the Trail Blazers, Rose still sat on the bench in the fourth quarter, of course, because the team fell too far behind.
In an interview, Nigro declined to disclose the specifics of his conversation with the general manager. "It's between the two of us, it's normal for the two of us to talk to each other, there's nothing to make a fuss about," he said. ”
But under repeated questions from reporters, Del Nigro still answered. 'As the manager of the team I have the power to decide who should play and who shouldn't, and I think the decisions I make are in the interests of the players and the team. I know my players better than anybody. I'll put Rose on the court in the fourth quarter, and sometimes I might replace him if I need to win. If I think something will work in our favor I'll do it and as a manager I should do it. ”
There are all kinds of signs that the new champion is not so happy with the Bulls.
On the 22nd, the game against the easy start of the game, Del? Negro's lineup was eye-catching, and he didn't want to give up the game, so he started with a three-guard lineup, obviously to speed up and fight with the Warriors to attack. Derek? Ross, Ben? Gordon, Larry? Hughes, Saab? Seflosha, center forward is Drew? Gordon.
The Warriors started five players, Zhou Xuan, Morrow, Jackson, Randolph, and Biedlings.
From the start, Gooden adopted a defensive strategy around the front against Randolph. Randolph is short and has poor bounce, and Zhou Xuan is not good at hanging inside. Biedrins pulled out to cover, and after changing defenses, Zhou Xuan faced Seflosha, a swingman who played in the No. 4 position. He is not famous, but it does not mean that he is weak, and he does a very good job of blocking and dismantling.
Zhou Xuan wanted to pass to Biedrins in the middle, but Rose also took a way around the front and blocked the passing route, and in order to stabilize Zhou Xuan, he could only pass to Jackson and singled Hughes. Hughes's big contract is rubbish, but he was also selected to the best defensive team back then, is a good defender, and has a steal.
Jackson relied on his height advantage to opt for a pull-up jump shot, and the ball was deflected. Gooden won the rebound, and the Bulls immediately counterattacked, with a long pass to Rose, and Rose passed to Gordon.
Gordon singled out Moreau, and as a famous player, he didn't take Moreau seriously at all, crossing and rushing into the three-point line and making a pull-up jump shot. 0 to 2.
The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball through the half court and let Randolph cover, but there was a mistake when he returned the high post, and the pass was cut off by Rose.
Rose relied on his excellent explosiveness to rush across the halfcourt, shaking off Randolph's two-handed dunk and score. 0 to 4.
The advantage of a small lineup is that it is very mobile, and Ross has superhuman qualities, and he also thought that after Zhou Xuan bypassed the ball, nine times out of ten he passed his teammates, and he didn't shoot much. Seflosha is one of the best defensive players for the Bulls and won't let Zhou Xuan pass easily.
In the third round, Zhou Xuan passed to Jackson, and Jackson relied on the block to break through and face Seflosha.
He dribbled to the baseline and turned to hit a one-handed cricket ball that didn't go in, Gooden took the rebound, and the Bulls fought back. The Warriors are not slow to defend, but the Bulls rely on their personal ability to pass to the players, this time Rose singled Zhou Xuan, and broke through to the left side after dribbling under the crotch, Zhou Xuan saw it very clearly, but the speed was too fast, and he could only follow and could not block the breakthrough route. At the edge of the three-second zone, Rose pulled the ball and changed direction to the middle, opened a little distance from Zhou Xuan and jumped up, and switched to a left-handed basketball in the air. 0 to 6.
Zhou Xuan has nothing to do with this difficult goal, just this attack can be understood as what Ross is the champion, and the quality is really amazing.
The Warriors attacked again, Randolph came out to cover, Zhou Xuan passed a high ball, Randolph leaned on Rose to get the ball, resisted two steps and turned to the left, at this time Hughes let go of Jackson and stepped forward to form a bag.
Randolph almost lost the ball, the pass was a little hasty, Jackson almost couldn't catch it, Hughes came back to interfere with the shot after adjusting his body, he hit the iron off again with another jumper, the rebound was still taken by Gooden, Randolph withdrew slowly, Biedrins was still in the low post to grab the rebound in the front court, and the front court formed a 4 to 3.
Sefolosha received a pass from Gordon after halftime and scored with a three-point shot from the right side. 0 to 9.
There is no simple character who can play in the NBA, and the Bulls' strange moves have worked, relying on quick counterattacks to play an offensive frenzy. On the defensive end, the Bulls adopted the strategy of preventing breakthroughs and interfering with shots, and the Warriors were also a little blind, they were too relaxed before the game, including Zhou Xuan, who also felt that they should be able to win easily.
The Warriors won easily because the Trail Blazers didn't like fast breaks, and were more of a landing battle, allowing Roy and Aldridge to block and dismantle.
In that rhythm, Randolph can retreat inside after attacking, and his weaknesses will not be exposed too much. However, with the Bulls' three-guard formation, Randolph's slow defense is apparent. Biedrins also fought for the frontcourt rebounds according to the coach's arrangement, and once he couldn't grab it, he couldn't come back. The Bulls are all four people who can go down fast except for Gooden.
Nelson Sr. didn't call a timeout and let the players on the court adjust.
Zhou Xuan calculated in his heart and came up with the easiest way to crack it, that is, the two big men were in a low position and attacked the inside line. Needless to say, Randolph's offensive power is also a clear height advantage over Seflosha, and there is a good chance that he will grab the rebound in the frontcourt.
But Zhou Xuan just passed the half, protecting the ball under Rose's strict defense, and before he had time to give his teammates a code, Biderins pulled out to cover.
Zhou Xuan had no choice but to take a step to the left, and Seflosha blocked it. The Bulls' tactics were very bold, one person broke through with Ka Zhouxuan, and Rose came around from the side to form a trap and let go of Biedrins.
Biedrins is not threatening to receive the ball in the high post, he can only cut to the low post, the two people in front of Zhou Xuan are blocked, it is difficult to pass the ball, unless the line of sight is blocked and the ball is thrown high, teammates may be able to catch it, but it is too risky.
Facing the bag, Zhou Xuan rushed to transfer the ball to Jackson on the right.
Jackson hoisted the ball to Biderings in the middle, and Gooden let go of Randolph to cover the defense. At this time, Biedrins only had to send the ball to Randolph lightly, but his passing awareness was too bad, he chose to play high, took the ball and went to Gooden, dodged the block and missed the one-handed shot, and the rebound was picked up by Hughes, who rushed into the low post.
Facing the Bulls with an alternative lineup, the opening Warriors offense was in trouble.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation...... Chapter 2 is delivered.
A friend in the book review area once said that the protagonist's shooting percentage was too low, and the passing was not attributed to a mage. Explain it here. The protagonist has just entered the league, and there are a few veterans around him, and if he rushes to shoot as soon as he comes up, plus fancy passes, he simply doesn't want to mix. Just like Jason Williams, the Kings traded him for Biby not because Bibby shot better, but because White Chocolate made too many mistakes.
