Chapter 764 [Breaking the Record]

Lowry became the Raptors' No. 1 main point of attack, breaking through the middle lane and letting Guy or Valanciunas single out Zhou Xuan with the intention of draining his physical strength. The Knicks made a change, letting Zhou Xuan defend Alan Anderson on the wing and handing over the middle to Matthews.

On the offensive end, Zhou Xuan didn't block and dismantle, holding the ball on the periphery, and his teammates ran without the ball. Matthews became the Knicks' number one offensive point, and Scola covered without the ball to get rid of Alan Anderson and ran to the middle, Zhou Xuan split the ball on the right side, Valanciunas went out slowly, and Matthews hit a three-point shot again. Seventh assist, 20-9.

After each side missed a shot, the Knicks made a substitution, and Bligh switched to Scola to increase the height of the court.

Blachet can also shoot after blocking, Tao Wanren defended to go out with Matthews, Blache cut down the air, and Zhou Xuan hoisted the ball to the right low post. Ignoring DeRozan and Alan Anderson's pack, Bleche forced a turn and shot in. 23 to 9.

Zhou Xuan's eighth assist, the Raptors' small-ball tactics not only failed to limit Zhou Xuan, but made his assists easier.

Casey didn't call another timeout and didn't make any substitutions. There are only two big blue-collar men left on the inside, Bidrins and Alongore, so Valanciunas will get the No. 4 position to play power forward, and the pick-and-roll defense will be poor. The lack of offensive power for the two interior blue-collar players would also make it easier for the Knicks' defense. The Raptors lineup has obvious shortcomings, so they can only make up for it to play.

With the mentality of getting by, the head coach has already given up the game, and it has only started less than a quarter.

Zhou Xuan organized on the periphery, did not let people block and dismantle, and looked for opportunities in the face of Lowry to protect the ball.

"Lowry's weaknesses are too obvious, like Paul, he's strong and not afraid to fight, but they don't do a good job of interfering with shots and interfering with passing," Su said. Zhou Xuan can easily send the ball over his head, just by observing his teammates' movements. ”

Yang Jian said: "Matthews voted today, no matter how low-key people are, there is also a time for the Knicks to exert their power." ”

The Raptors attacked, DeRozan broke through successfully, Bleche had no sense of defense, DeRozan scored a one-handed smash, and used this beautiful goal to boost morale a little. 23 to 11.

Anderson and Bleche are playing together, and interior defense is a problem, whether it is to defend against the basket or to break through. After two more rounds, Lowry broke through and Guy scored on a mid-range shot. 23 to 13.

The Knicks made a substitution, and Parsons replaced Anderson and started small-ball tactics.

The Raptors players actively ran tactics, but the Knicks compressed the defense, and Lowry's breakthrough was blocked. Passing to the perimeter and shooting three-pointers is not a strong point. The Raptors didn't shoot 4 percent from three-point range.

The Knicks' offense is very difficult to defend, and Parsons has one more playmaking point as soon as he gets up. Zhou Xuan ran to the left after passing the ball, Parsons in the middle took the ball and organized, and he would not be blocked if he shot directly in the face of Lowry. Guy changed defenses, and Zhou Xuan slipped the bottom line and ran to the right.

Parsons crossed to Leonard at 60 degrees on the right side, and at the same time, Zhou Xuan got rid of Guy without the ball on the baseline and ran to the bottom right corner. Valanciunas listened to the coach's arrangement and defended it. After receiving the ball, Zhou Xuan shook the ball and passed the ball to the low post, and Bletche received the ball in the penalty area and turned to shoot the basketball.

Guy, like Leonard, has excellent defensive outside ability, and his 203CM height is not enough to defend the basket, and his strength is not particularly strong. Zhou Xuan had his ninth assist, 25-13.

Eager to reciprocate, Lowry swooped a cold arrow at the three-point line and popped out of the frame.

The Knicks landed in a positional battle. D'Antoni saw that the Raptors liked a fast pace, so he let Zhou Xuan grind a little bit on the court, and had no intention of sending two guards. Positional offensive assists are more difficult than running and bombing, but Zhou Xuan can also get a high number of assists.

Zhou Xuan took the ball in the middle, Lowry stepped forward to press, he protected the basketball with his back, observed the situation on the court, Blecher and Parsons covered Matthews in the low post on the left side, Matthews ran out of the three-point line, and Parsons ran to the bottom corner on the right side.

Originally misplaced with Parsons' Guy to defend Matthews, DeRozan was blocked by Valanciunas and Blece, and couldn't immediately chase to the bottom corner.

Zhou Xuan saw the run, turned around and jumped up and passed to the bottom corner, the ball passed low and fast, Parsons received the ball and shot the ball in one step inside the three-point line, 27-13. Zhou Xuan made a double-double assist in a single quarter.

The Raptors attacked, DeRozan relied on the cover to run to receive the ball, grabbed a three-point shot, Bletche didn't follow, and the ball went in. 27 to 16.

This is already a super-level performance of Raptors players, DeRozan usually can't shoot two three-pointers in a game, and he shot two in the first quarter today.

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan's assist is still one short of tying Stockton's playoff single-quarter record, and I hope my teammates can fight for it." ”

Su Qun said: "There are still more than three minutes, and he should be able to do it." ”

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed to Parsons in the middle and ran to the weak side, Guy defended very strictly, followed by interference with long arms, and the ball failed to return to Zhou Xuan's hands. Bletche's low single Valanciunas went wide. The Raptors counterattacked, and Lowry burst with the ball, causing Zhou Xuan to foul.

Lowry weighs 94 kilograms, is only 180cm tall, and runs like ball lightning, and it is difficult for Zhou Xuan to stop if he is not close in time. After hitting both free throws, it was 27-18.

In the Knicks positional battle, Zhou Xuan glanced at Parsons on the right side at the top of the arc, and suddenly pulled out three points outside the three-point line, Lowry jumped up and sealed his eyes to no avail, and the ball bounced into the back edge of the basket and returned one. 30 to 18. Zhou Xuan's personal fifth point.

The Raptors attacked, DeRozan broke through, and Bleche fouled again. He doesn't move fast enough, his defense is always half a beat slower, and it is precisely because of his average defense that the Wizards feel that his salary is too high, so they will choose to cut him.

DeRozan hit both free throws. 30 to 20.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed the ball back to the middle after blocking and dismantling, Bleche faced Lowry, adjusted his jump shot, he threw a dribble ball under interference, smashed the basket and bounced high, and fell into the frame, which is relatively rare. 32 to 20.

With this goal, Zhou Xuan tied Stockton with 11 assists. The home announcer shouted passionately: "Another assist!" Stephen Chow! The fans cheered together.

Gay hit a jumper, DeRozan rushed to grab the rebound and hit the sideline, and the Knicks had the ball. The positional battle went to the front, Zhou Xuan passed to Parsons on the right, and the middle and Bleche covered to the bottom corner of the right side.

Valanciunas defended Leonard on the other side of the baseline, who ran 60 degrees to the left, and Valan had to follow. Bletche cut to the basket, and Zhou Xuan ran on the left side.

After such a run, Lowry and Guy all gathered under the basket, and Zhou Xuan received the basketball by covering without the ball, did not turn around, and passed the ball directly to Blecher.

In the moment of cover, he caught a glimpse of Blecher stuck in position, sending the ball to the basket as fast as he could, not giving Varland time to return to the inside, and if he was slow, Blecher could also have a three-second violation.

The ball flew over Lowry's head and went right into the hands of Brighter, who immediately took a strong shot. Guy tried his best to foul him, but the referee blew the whistle for a foul, but the ball was thrown anyway and bounced on the basket and scored.

Blache played 2+1, and Zhou Xuan sent the 12th assist. Plus free throws to make it 35-20.

The Raptors were beaten a little out of temper, five people passed the ball back and forth, and it was 24 seconds before Guy made a shot, and he hit the iron again under Leonard's interference, and he unfortunately became the number one blacksmith today.

Both sides hit an iron once, and with 31 seconds left, Alan Anderson squeezed away Zhou Xuan to catch the ball and scored with a high shot. 35 to 22.

In the last attack, Zhou Xuan wasted time with the ball on the periphery, everyone else pulled away, and DeRozan defended. Lowry went to guard against Matthews, this was an obvious misalignment, Zhou Xuan knew it, but he didn't look over there.

In the last six seconds, Bletche pulled to the perimeter to cover and block DeRozan, but Zhou Xuan moved sideways to get rid of it but did not rush inside, but hoisted the ball high to the left side.

Matthews jumped up to catch the basketball, and immediately after landing, he pulled it out and forced a three-point shot with Lowry close to him. His movements were a little deformed, but today it felt fantastic and the ball bounced in the frame. Matthews scored 14 points in the quarter and shot 4-of-5 from three-point range. 38 to 22.

Zhou Xuan improved the NBA playoffs' all-time assist record in a single quarter to 13.

Leaving the Raptors with 7 seconds to attack, Lowry passed to Guy to score on a dunk in the middle. 38 to 24. It's a five-game match, but the Raptors players can't be happy, and they've become the backdrop for their opponents to break the record.

Su Qun sighed: "Zhou Xuan really did it, the Knicks scored 38 points in a single quarter, Chandler didn't play, and I want to take the offensive line of the Knicks, which is also very scary." ”

Yang Jian said: "He broke the single-quarter assist record, and the half-time assist record is also close at hand. That's 15 half-court created by Magic Johnson, and it only takes three assists, and he's definitely going to do it. ”

The Knicks fielded Bledsoe, Nick Young, Copeland, Anderson, Chandler in the second quarter. Four people who can shoot threes and the best defender.

The Raptors' bench is too poor, Biedrins and Dayer form the interior line, Johnson small forward, and the outside line is Knicks abandoned Randy Fields and John Lucas III.

Lucas III's shortcomings soon became apparent, he was too short, Bledsoe and Anderson blocked and split the ball to the middle, Anderson hit a three-pointer, drew a foul, and hit both free throws.

Bledsoe also broke through Biedrins and assisted Copeland for a three-point shot. Copeland rarely got a chance to play in a season, but when the ball was in his hands, he really dared to shoot, and he could still shoot, and he was a reliable pitcher. After falling behind by a big score, the Raptors did not rush to replace the main force and gave up directly.

6 minutes later, Zhou Xuan came on the court and formed a double back with Bredsoe, with Nick Young and Parsons on the front line, and Anderson as the center player, playing small-ball tactics.

In the counterattack, Zhou Xuan assisted Nick Young twice in a row to score, and then assisted Bledsoe to hit a layup. Towards the end of the day, Nick Young cut to a pass, turned 360 degrees on the right side and bypassed Johnson and scored a backhand layup.

Relying on Nick Young's juggling goal, Zhou Xuan scored 7 points and 17 assists in the half, breaking the record of Magic Johnson.

The Knicks led 74-47 and nearly sealed the win.
