Chapter 420 [Still Pressing]

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball through the half without encountering any obstacles, and Williams defended in place. It was only one round that he was convinced that Williams was not confident in his physical strength and did not dare to deal with him with the same pressing method.

As a veteran, or a veteran who has been retired for a year, it takes time to come back to the best form, even Michael? Jordan can't get rid of this law either. The reason for Williams' comeback must be that he likes basketball and can't be idle. After retiring, it is better to come out and make some money for fitness, but his mood is definitely different.

Garcia and Azubuuk cut on both sides of the screen, both running into the bottom corner to open the gap, Turyaf in the low post on the left and Margeti on the flank, both pulling away.

Zhou Xuan didn't look for cover and singled out Williams.

Let's see if you're really that good, or if you're in vain? Williams had never been in the opposite position with Zhou Xuan, and he was very curious about this person. In this world, there are many people who love Zhou Xuan and many people who hate him, so if he doesn't experience his strength personally, he can't draw conclusions from other people's dictations.

Zhou Xuan took a step to the right, his muscles tightened, he dribbled behind his back and handed it to his left hand, his shoulders probed, and he dribbled behind his back and handed it back to his right hand to open up the distance. Williams was known for playing tricks and immediately moved to the right. Zhou Xuan dribbled under his right crotch to change direction with his left hand to break through.

Williams saw it very accurately, and immediately moved to the left again, as soon as his right foot landed, Zhou Xuan changed direction again, and dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand.

Three changes of direction! Williams has already stood on his right foot, and there is no way to break through Zhou Xuan this time, if he forcibly changes his center of gravity, the result is likely to be that he falls to the ground.

Zhou Xuan passed Williams on the right side, Petrus stepped forward to make up for the defense, Zhou Xuan stopped and sent the ball to the bottom corner lightly, Garcia had a vacant position on the right side, and he shot after receiving the ball, hollow into the net. 3 to 2.

Stanley, the home announcer, shouted, "Francisco, three points!" ”

"That's what the Warriors are trading for, Garcia is shooting nearly 40 percent from three-point range, timing his shots well, and his shots are resolute," Su said. Jackson can't draw defenders from the baseline. The Warriors had another consistent shooting spot after losing Moreau. ”

Yang Jian said: "The guard has changed. ”

The Warriors changed their defenses, and when they returned to the defense, Zhou Xuan asked Azubuke to force Williams and kept up with Carter. Azubuike's role this season is to run and shoot three-pointers, rarely rely on speed to impact the basket, and the physical exertion is very small, so let him force Williams, even if he can't break the ball, he can form a dislocation when counterattacking, and has a height advantage. Zhou Xuan's calculation is very comprehensive, he defends Carter, and he is a person who follows the defense of the ball, so that Carter will not enter the interior line so easily.

This kid really wants to defend against stars every game. Carter was about to ask for the ball, but just as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Xuan suddenly hit him from behind, and stretched out a hand halfway around to block his vision. Carter immediately turned around, and Zhou Xuan also turned around, still entangled, as if it was attached to his body, waving one hand.

Carter immediately remembered the Celtics, who played four games in the same district last season, and that substitute Toney? Alan! This kind of kraft gum defense is very annoying.

Williams was also pressed, and it was a little difficult to pass, but Carter was forced without the ball and didn't dare to pass that side, giving it to Petrus.

Zhou Xuan saw Petrus receive the ball, and smiled secretly in his heart, still following very closely. Petrus is not very playable and cannot play the playmaking striker style of Tekoglu.

Sure enough, Petrus relied on the cover for a single play, or with Howard's cover, breaking to the left, Turiav changed defenses, Howard immediately cut to the inside, and Petrus passed the ball to the middle.

As soon as the pass came out, Zhou Xuan rushed up from the side, jumped in the middle and cut off the basketball, leaving Carter empty. Petrus and Carter broke through on one side, and when they looked down, they couldn't see the back of their heads, perfect for the defense.

The three of the Warriors killed out of the way, Zhou Xuan's long pass to Garcia, Howard chased the defense, Garcia did not attack, and handed it to Azubuke in front of the three-point line. Azubuke didn't care about Williams in front of him, he caught the ball and jumped to shoot, the ball bounced out of the frame, Howard won the rebound, and the Warriors returned to defense.

"A typical 7-second run-and-bomb style of play, don't wait for anyone, shoot when you have the opportunity." Yang Jian said with a smile: "The Warriors also know that it is difficult to grab rebounds on Howard's head on the inside line now, so they simply fight for speed." ”

Su Qun said: "Although Smart has just taken office, he leads the team to be similar to the old Nelson last season, continuing the past style of play, and without Randolph, he has to fight for speed." ”

Magic attack, Zhou Xuan is still entangled with Carter, this time Carter got rid of the ball without the ball, took the ball on the right baseline and broke through to the middle, and threw a one-handed shot under Margeti's interference.

Turiaf jammed Howard hard, Zhou Xuan rushed up from behind, grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and threw it to the front court when he landed, Azubuike received the ball to Garcia, who in turn gave Margeti.

Margety singled out Petrus and frantically scrambled his muscles to the baseline, but before Howard had time to return to the basket, Margeti forced a layup. Petrus didn't foul, the ball went in! 5 to 2.

"Beautiful, this ball looks good." Barkley said: "The Warriors played at a very fast pace, and they were determined to run and shoot to keep the Magic defense in place. ”

"Without Nelson, the Magic did drop in speed and Williams couldn't outrun Azubuke," Smith said. It's forcing again, the Warriors' move is also very good, in response to the disadvantage of the Magic's less point guard, Williams is already fast, and the bench can only be Johnson. ”

Barkley smiled: "The Magic have been successful in strengthening this summer, the only position that has not been strengthened is point guard, they lost in this aspect in the finals last season, and now they have replaced Alston with Williams, who retired for a year, which is self-defeating." ”

Smith nodded: "Maybe they have to make a trade in the middle of the game and find a guard who can defend, otherwise it is still impossible for them to win the championship, and I don't like them to beat the Cavaliers and Celtics in the East." ”

Williams passes to Lewis, and Mr. Billion takes the ball and plays a pick-and-roll with Carter and passes the ball over. Carter misplaced Margeti and passed to Petrus on the perimeter. The latter was hoisted to Howard.

"Warcraft" finally wanted to play alone, and leaned on Turyaf to turn around and hook his hands in the middle of the lane. Turyaf didn't lose his position at all, made close interference, the ball was deflected, and Zhou Xuan rushed into the interior first and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Zhou Xuan grabbed the rebound, immediately turned around and pulled a little distance from Williams, and threw it to the front court with one hand without the slightest pause. The person who received the ball this time was Margeti. As soon as he lowered his head and rushed forward, Petrus struggled.

This kind of fast attack is a test of defenders, Zhou Xuan is afraid of this, once he rushes up, even if he knows which direction the opponent wants to turn, it is difficult to block, especially strong people, NBA rules also arrange that the ball holder is easy to foul.

Margeti got to the three-point line, only the basket in his eyes, pulled the ball and got up and rushed to the basket, and Howard caught up from behind and didn't realize it, forcing a layup.

Howard flew to his feet, a pegboard cap and slammed the ball off the rebound. The ball was like a vent, and the force was very large, and it popped directly into the penalty area, and also flew over the head of teammate Lewis, and was picked up by Garcia.

Garcia and Margetibi are like two extremes, although there is a distance from Lewis, they still find someone first, and give Zhou Xuan on the left side. Zhou Xuan took the ball and Carter was one and a half steps away, holding the ball in his right hand and leaning close with his left hand, making a "worship Buddha" feint.

The first time I saw him use this trick, there was a chance that he would be shaken, and after a few runs, Carter also felt that Zhou Xuan had a little space to grab the shot, so he stepped forward to prepare to interfere. Zhou Xuan changed to the left side, passed Carter, and without waiting for the second person to come up to make up for the defense, he made a 60-degree three-point stop jump shot on the left side, and the ball went into the net hollow. 8 to 2.

Stan? Van Gundy thought that he would definitely win this time, but he didn't expect that the opening was still pressed by the Warriors, and the rhythm was controlled by Zhou Xuan.

Barkley said: "The Warriors proved from the beginning that they are a strong team without Randolph, and the key is the pressure off the ball, and the Magic lack a good playmaker. ”

Smith said: "At this time, they may miss Tekoglu, Carter can also be the organizer, but he is entangled by Zhou Xuan. ”

Carter caught the ball by covering, Zhou Xuan had already circled in front of him from the side, Carter's mood now was the same as Kobe Bryant's before, realizing Zhou Xuan's difficulty, his body was not strong, but he had unparalleled agility, and his lateral speed was amazing, and he kept interfering. Carter shook for a moment, in exchange for not a breakthrough opportunity, but a close fit, and then suddenly he was stuck in Zhou Xuan's thigh.

Carter passed to the side Lewis. Lewis had a height advantage and didn't make a strong shot in the face of Magetti, hoisting the ball to Howard in the low post, and Turyaf defended it. Howard was dumbfounded when he met a strong man with height, he was not O'Neal's kind of interior line that could reach the basket with his body, and he swung to the middle and turned to the baseline by moving his speed.

Turyaf followed, and Howard went to the right backhand layup, which was jumped up and pressed down by Turyaf. After Howard landed, he turned his head to grab the basketball and wanted to get up again, Zhou Xuan and Garcia had already arrived at his side, and the three of them were sandwiched. Garcia slapped the basketball before he lifted the ball, slicing it off.

Zhou Xuan took the ball and advanced quickly, 3 to 3 in the frontcourt, and Zhou Xuan faced Carter.

Margeti and Azubuike both pulled away and didn't go to the basket, Zhou Xuan glanced to the side, and dribbled under the crotch to make a "killer crossover" break through the middle. Carter has the body of a top-tier swingman but has never been on the All-Defensive Team, and his awareness is mediocre, keeping up with the prepared blocks from the side.

Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, shook his hands to the right, hit Carter with his left shoulder, and then deflected, and the referee's whistle sounded, blocking the foul. Zhou Xuan jumped lightly, half-turned under the impact of Carter, and threw the ball from the back of his head to the basket with his right backhand, and the board did not go in, but it caused a kill.

Su Qun shouted: "Break through to make a foul, this ball reminds me of Ginobili, I lost my balance and threw the ball out." ”

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan is really completely different from last season, he is playing more and more actively. ”

This kind of simple opportunity Zhou Xuan said that he would not let go of anything, and he would win both penalties steadily. 10 to 2. The magic called a timeout.
