After beating the Timberwolves, it's time for the New Year.

Kolo Moretz, Taiwo, Mary and others joined in the fun to find Zhou Xuan to have dinner together. Marks & Spencer and Zhou Gaozhuo did not come to the United States this time, and they prefer the festive atmosphere in China.

Zhou Xuan didn't have any special feelings, and the trophy made him more excited than the New Year.

After defeating the Raptors, the Knicks played the Clippers at home in the last regular season game before the All-Star Game on February 14.

Recently, the Clippers have been gaining momentum. Just two days ago, the Lakers and the aspiring Clippers started a battle for supremacy in the same city. The strong Clippers defeated the Lakers by 31 points, consolidating the third place in the West, while mocking the Lakers' unbearable reputation outside the top eight, and Los Angeles officially changed its owner.

The Clippers' scenery comes from the team's strong roster depth, even if Grant Hill has not returned to the team, the Clippers still have a sufficient rotation lineup of more than ten people to support normal operation, and the core lineup led by Paul and Griffin is in its prime year, and it is not a problem to run at full speed in the regular season.

However, the victory in the regular season is not a real victory, once it enters the playoffs, without back-to-back consecutive battles, the advantage of the Clippers' personnel rotation will be greatly weakened, and it will be more of a competition for the main core lineup, which is the beginning of the bayonet. Paul needed a spare tyre, and while Bledsoe was strong, he was inexperienced. Griffin and Jordan Jr. don't have a strong bench, it's unrealistic to expect Odom to return to the top, and the two starters have poor shooting, which is a hidden danger for the Clippers.

When he came to New York, Little Jordan called Zhou Xuan with a question mark and stopped eating together. His girlfriend also came with him and spent Valentine's Day together here. They are ready to get married, and they are married to their sons.

Emma returned to New York, she filmed commercials during the holidays, met with Zhou Xuan, and the two had to attend Mitchell's wedding at the end of the month, which had been arranged.

In the morning, Emma and Zhou Xuan spent a two-person world at home.

Zhou Xuan walked around the forum, and Emma sighed: "You are still the same, watching sports news and paying attention to online evaluations." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "What do you think I should become?" ”

"I thought you'd be a little more relaxed, less desperate, you've won the championship." Emma sighed.

"Isn't that normal?"

"But you don't have a vacation at all, you're a workaholic, and you still have to shoot "Edge of Tomorrow" in the summer." Emma frowned.

"The film was made in the UK, so it won't be too long, and we can play over there. Sorry, I didn't ask you and just said yes to Douglife, that script was really interesting. Zhou Xuan scratched his head and said.

"I'm probably going to have to film ...... then," Emma lamented, "when will I be completely free?" ”

"Actually, we can be idle at any time, but when we don't work, isn't it boring? Don't overthink it and have breakfast. Zhou Xuan smiled.

He didn't want to imagine the time when he would be old, he couldn't play basketball well, he would be abused by newcomers on the court, and he would be forced to retire. Sooner or later, that day will come, and it must be uncomfortable. Therefore, he cherishes the present time and hates to be idle.

Emma actually likes to find things to do and go to school when she doesn't work. She has always been empty, and some people deliberately keep themselves busy, trying to eliminate the emptiness with busyness. Once this kind of person is quiet, the sense of emptiness will be stronger.

Everyone has a time of emptiness, the rich are more empty, and the more educated are more empty than the less educated.

When people don't have money, they think that everything is good if they have money, and they can solve problems, so they pursue money and become the goal and direction of life. However, once pursued, it was found that it was nothing more than that, and this gap was uncomfortable.

There are also people who aim to pursue knowledge and knowledge, and it is not enough to go to university to study for a doctorate, but they need to study two, but when they get these, they find that these do not satisfy their innermost desires.

Zhou Xuan is such a person, so he has to play ball, make movies, and play the piano...... Do a lot of things. He didn't want to stop.

In the evening, the game was played at Madison Square Garden.

Live across the United States. TNT's Barkley said: "It's a heavyweight matchup between Paul and Zhou Xuan, with two All-Stars on each side, Griffin's stats are still stable this year, and the addition of Crawford has given the Clippers an increase in their off-the-stakes offense. ”

"The Clippers are stronger this year, and Crawford is a 6th man with 20+ ability, who is extremely sharp on the break and has a convulsive shot," Smith said. Just looking at the outside, the Clippers are definitely the top three in the league. It's a pity that they couldn't keep Kenyon Martin in the summer, Odom didn't play well, and they couldn't compare to the Knicks on the inside. ”

Barkley laughed, "I don't think Martin can do it right now." He was very inefficient, and he had been very average in China before. WITH HIS AGE, ONCE HIS ATHLETICISM DECLINES, HIS DEFENSE WILL ALSO DETERIORATE, AND 206CM IS TOO SHORT. ”

On the CCTV5 side, Su Qun said: "After Zhou Xuan scored 28 assists, the average number of assists per game rose to 13. 7, with 30 games remaining, he is likely to win the assist title again and become another single season assist average of 14+ after Stockton. ”

Yang Jian said: "Paul has no advantage over Zhou Xuan in recent seasons, the two have not met in the playoffs, although the Clippers have fallen behind the Thunder and Spurs this year, and the playoffs may also break through, today will definitely be a wonderful game." ”

Players from both sides played. Zhou Xuan greeted Paul and Jordan Jr. Crawford didn't talk to the Knicks players, and all of his teammates were traded out of the team while he was with the Knicks.

Paul looked at Zhou Xuan and took a deep breath, he had a super desire to win, even if it was just a regular season. He pondered in his heart how to prevent Zhou Xuan from being tighter, and relied on his body to prevent Zhou Xuan from pulling out. Zhou Xuan once hit three points in a row when he was in position with him, and he didn't want that kind of thing to happen again.

After the warm-up, the race began.

The Knicks started Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Parsons, Scola, and Chandler.

The Clippers started Paul, Willie Green, Butler, Griffin, Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr. jumped the ball to win, and the Clippers attacked first.

Paul in the middle and Griffin in the middle of the block. Griffin cuts immediately after the screen, ready to receive a pass.

Chandler stayed under the basket, the switch was Scola and Zhou Xuan chased the bag. When it comes to the Clippers, all teams are a strategy, wrapping Paul and letting others shoot. Griffin is vacated at 60 degrees on the left side.

Paul passes to Griffin, who takes a look, shoots a pull-out jumper, and the ball goes in! 0 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan blocked and passed to Scola, who missed the jumper, the Clippers counterattacked, Griffin went down, and after receiving Paul's pass, he stopped suddenly, jumped again in front of Scola, and scored again. 0 to 4.

Griffin will shoot like a rogue knows martial arts, and no one can stop him. Griffin missed the Olympics in the summer and had surgery on his knee injury, which was a blessing in disguise. He couldn't jump, so he could only practice mid-range shooting, and he gained a lot.

Despite dropping out of the top 10 in ESPN's Player Power Rankings, Griffin's mood was not affected. He said in an interview that the goal for the new season is to go further, which means that the team that finished in the top four in the West last season will aim to reach the division finals. In order to show his determination, Griffin also claimed that he would definitely seek revenge on Duncan, who swept him last season.

Most of the point guards have a grudge against Zhou Xuan, and the primary opponent on the interior is Duncan. If they meet the Spurs again, Griffin will inevitably face Duncan. In the playoffs last season, Griffin, although much younger, could not take advantage. "Stone Buddha" is still stable this year, and he is almost 40 years old and still takes two pairs to beat young people, which still makes people confused?

It is precisely because of Duncan's existence that Griffin has not always relied on his body to play and eat his old roots, and actively develops mid-range shots and low-post footsteps, and people are forced out.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan and Scola blocked and dismantled, Griffin changed defenses very actively, relying on his wide body to block in front of Zhou Xuan, he stood very forward, Zhou Xuan couldn't shoot directly and chose to break through.

The Clippers' tactics are also very clear, strictly guarding against Zhou Xuan and letting others shoot. Griffin's defense breakthrough was not good, he was dribbled by Zhou Xuan's crotch, and Jordan Jr. let go of Chandler's defense again, and the two big men sandwiched him in the low post.

That's when Chandler's problem arises, he can't be shot, he can be short. It's really similar to saying that Jordan Jr.'s template is Chandler. Zhou Xuan saw the stitches and passed the ball to Chandler. Griffin immediately went to the basket to switch defenses and withstand the opponent. Chandler took a step to turn, hooked wide, and the rebound was picked up by Griffin.

Zhou Xuan judged the right direction of the rebounding ball, and didn't dare to go up to grab it, fortunately he didn't, otherwise if the two strong men collided, he might directly become Sudajia's heart......

In the Clippers positional battle, the Knicks defended in the same way, Paul broke through and contracted the formation, put Jordan Jr., and Scola went out to defend.

As soon as Parsons switched defenses, Paul was not so easy to break through. From the perimeter, Butler singled Scola for a pull-up jumper that missed.

After two serious injuries, Butler is past his prime, and he is no longer the 20+5+5 All-Star forward, and he is not good at starting slowly in the first step. Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Zhou Xuan knew that he needed to stand up at this time, and played the code to let his teammates pull away, Chandler was under the basket, and he wanted to single Paul.

Paul followed very closely, defending closely, and Zhou Xuan leaned back and turned to the right. Paul stuck Zhou Xuan with one leg and waited for an opportunity to steal the ball with his left hand. His defensive movements are perfect, and Zhou Xuan is also an expert in steals, and knows Paul's habits, pulling the ball up with a small step, and dribbling the ball behind his left hand.

Paul was not as tall as Zhou Xuan, and if he let Zhou Xuan turn around, he could only follow sideways, so he hurriedly moved a step sideways to block the breakthrough route. After Zhou Xuan received the ball with his left hand, he pulled the ball up again, and turned around with a big stride to the right.

It's a streetball action where the left hand grips the ball with his wrist. It doesn't have to shoot it, so it's faster. This is also an evolved version of the stealing step, and the referee did not blow the whistle.

Zhou Xuan turned around and passed Paul, took a big step and took the ball with both hands just to 60 degrees, and made a jump shot. Paul tried his best to seal his eyes to no avail, and this position Zhou Xuan was the most accurate. Ball in! 2 to 4.

Paul sighed in his heart, he had never seen Zhou Xuan pass in this way, and he had practiced a new trick again.
