As the game progressed, the two sides gradually found a little rhythm of defense, and Du Hong's defense without the ball followed tighter, and he didn't want to be blown up by Zhou Xuan again.

As long as Zhou Xuan passes the ball, Du Hong immediately interferes closely, so that the Warriors players are not good to pass it back to him. In addition, the Knicks began to compress the defense in the defensive positional battle, and Margety, Ellis, and Azubuike all missed three-point shots.

The Warriors' defense couldn't shrink too much, and in addition to David Lee, the Knicks had four three-point shooters, which was very scary and their biggest asset to win.

Eight minutes into the game, the Warriors trailed by five points at 22-27. Zhou Xuan is still passing-oriented, and only Randolph received and shot two points in this period, bringing his assist tally to 7.

Ellis and Zhou Xuan started together and announced failure again, not because the defense broke through weakened, but because the three-point shot lacked a stable shooting point, Margetty and Ellis also overlapped, and one of them could not hold the ball.

Nelson Sr. replaced Ellis with Morrow, and inside with Margeti and Turyaf.

Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief on the court, as soon as the opponent compressed the defense, Ellis would be less efficient. At this point, he prefers to work with players like Morrow. Morrow will be in the right position, and the movement will be along the three-point line, so it will be easy to find someone. And Ellis can't stand still, he can't shoot outside the three-point line, and he is easy to get into the crowd in the face of the 23rd Air Defense.

Ellis is also uncomfortable, he likes to attack with the ball, but Margeti and Zhou Xuan have divided his possession, and when Jackson comes back, he will definitely need the ball, and his chances are getting fewer and fewer.

The game restarted, and the Knicks lineup also made changes. Chandler replaces Gallinari, Nate? Robinson replaces Duhon. Dujon played poorly today, handing out just three assists, and D'Antoni wanted Robinson to come on to add impact.

Robinson faced Zhou Xuan after he came on the court, and just wanted to provoke a few words as usual, but he shut up when he remembered the last game, just a quiet defense.

Zhou Xuan was thinking about the Knicks' weaknesses while dribbling, and Chandler came on the court, and the height did not decrease much, and the defense may be better than Gallinari. Now all five people on the court can still shoot, and the Knicks have a terrifying attack intensity, but Robinson is 10 centimeters shorter than Duhon.

Zhou Xuan stretched out his finger to his teammates to play the code, and withdrew the inside line, and Turiaf and Randolph both pulled out. Randolph was on the left, and Zhou Xuan was covered by Turyaf in the middle to avoid Robinson.

Robinson was particularly active in chasing defense, and David Lee didn't dare to let go of Turyaf to block Zhou Xuan, and followed the no-player into the interior line. Zhou Xuan got the open spot and hit a one-step pull-up jump shot from inside the three-point line on the right side. Robinson jumped high, but he jumped too late. 24 to 27.

Kenny? Smith said: "It's not okay to defend like this, Zhou Xuan's pull-up jump shot is very accurate, most of his points come from the jump shots on both sides after the block, Zhou Xuan scored a lot of points in the last game, and the Knicks seem to have forgotten about it." ”

Webb said: "D'Antoni seemed helpless to stand on the sidelines. ”

Helplessness is certain, D'Antoni is an offensive coach, and there are no good ideas on the defensive end, not to mention that the core of the Knicks' interior defense is David Lee.

A commentator on Hong Kong Satellite TV Sports once commented on David Lee's defense. "It's like a drizzle of rain falling on people's hearts, and it feels so mysterious. The defender couldn't help but look up at him, and he didn't show a trace. Although it is silent, it is hard to forget. It was his eyes, bright and beautiful, ah...... Friendship world, opponents are full of joy. ”

The Knicks attacked, Robinson controlled the ball over half court, did not pass to Crawford, and chose to single Zhou Xuan.

If there is no provocation, it does not mean that he does not want revenge and does not want to prove himself. Because of this, he didn't rely on cover, dangled left and right into the three-point line, and the pull-up jump shot was deflected under Zhou Xuan's interference, and the rebound was obtained by Randolph.

Randolph took the ball and threw it forward, and Robinson trusted his bounce too much and made the stupid choice to jump up and break the ball in the air. But he jumped a little slower, and he was so short that the basketball flew right over his head. Zhou Xuan easily received the ball. Robinson staggered after landing and couldn't get back in pursuit.

Chandler returned to the defense quickly, saw Zhou Xuan go to the right side to break through the basket, stepped forward to block the layup route, Zhou Xuan ran and gave the ball to the middle, Azubuke did not challenge Chandler, and hit a stop-and-go jump shot. 26 to 27.

The Knicks offense was once again making a low-level turnover. As Robinson dribbled across the half, D'Antoni yelled at him from the sidelines to make a pass, don't play alone. In this state, Robinson did not dare to mess around again, and when he got to the frontcourt, he crossed to Crawford. Crawford and David Lee had just completed off-ball screens when Randolph gambled on a steal and got the ball in the right lane. He did so because he heard D'Antoni shouting at Robinson for a pass.

Randolph's steals are very rare, and it is all because Robinson's passing purpose is too obvious, and Randolph passes the ball to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan handed it over to Mo Luo, who was about to get down, without pausing. After David Lee blocked and dismantled, he ran to the inside line, and the defense was slow. Moreau scored with a one-handed dunk. 28 to 27.

Zhou Xuan's 9th assist, the Knicks were a little messy, and the Warriors overtook the score.

Crawford was in a hurry to get the ball, chose to burst on his own, missed the pull-up jumper, and the rebound was obtained by Turyaf. In the Warriors' positional battle, Turyaf gave Zhou Xuan a frontal cover, and Randolph on the left side gave Morrow an off-ball cover. Morrow runs to the other corner.

David Lee chased the no-ball Morrow to the bottom corner, Randolph cut inside and turned into a single Chandler, Zhou Xuan immediately passed the ball to the left low post, the weight gap between the two was very large, Randolph dribbled with his back to the basket and turned to play the cricket ball with his left hand.

After a year at the Knicks, they got to know each other better. With his weight and left hand, Randolph was able to open up more space and Chandler couldn't block it. 30 to 27.

As soon as Ellis got off the court, the Warriors immediately played 8-0, he was really embarrassed, and sat on the court and began to think about what Zhou Xuan said when chatting. He began to realize that he did have a lot of flaws. What if the person present was not him, but Kevin? Martin, with Zhou Xuan, will definitely get more scoring opportunities. Because Martin's outside shooting is accurate, and his three-point difference is far away.

Off-the-court teammates applauded Zhou Xuan together, Kenny? Smith also shouted passionately: "Zhou Xuan delivered the 10th assist in a single quarter!" There is still more than a minute left in the terrifying play, and I wonder if he can continue to assist his teammates. ”

The Knicks finally opened, Randolph was too slow to change defenses and open the spot, and Crawford scored on a pull-up jumper. 30 to 29.

Zhou Xuan and Turyaf cooperated in blocking and dismantling, this time Harrington defended it, Zhou Xuan took the ball to the right, distanced himself from Harrington, suddenly changed direction to the middle, and passed to Turyaf who entered the three-second zone.

Turyaf spent most of the time in the three-second zone and the ball was passed in a timely manner, with Harrington right behind Turyaf and David Lee next to him. But Turyaf is very athletic, forced to turn to the basket, completed the attack in the most domineering way, pulled up, and dunked with both hands!

Harrington and David Lee hesitated and didn't reach out to foul, and the Knicks' two interior players have been very elegant in the past half season and have never been sent off with 6 fouls. 32 to 29.

This ball Turyaf took a step with the trend, but it was very consistent, and the assist was also recorded on Zhou Xuan's head, the 11th.

The Knicks counterattacked very quickly, Robinson dribbled to the frontcourt, tried to rely on speed to get rid of Zhou Xuan and broke through unsuccessfully, distributed the ball to the outside, Harrington pulled out three points, and the rebound was taken by Randolph. The Warriors counterattacked, Azubuke broke through with the ball and passed to Moreau, who in turn gave it to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan protected the basketball with his back under Robinson's interference and waited for his teammates to take position. Robinson kept changing positions in the back and wanted to steal the ball, but Zhou Xuan saw the opportunity, found Randolph to cover, and got rid of Robinson from the left side. Harrington changed defenses, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball back to the middle. Robinson was squeezed behind by Randolph, David Lee didn't make up the defense inside, and Randolph shot in the open position and hit a hollow shot. 34 to 29.

Kenny? Smith shouted: "I can't believe it, this is Zhou Xuan's 12th assist in this game!" ”

There are 29 hours left. 7 seconds, the Knicks chose to control the situation, Crawford received the ball on the periphery and singled, the players pulled away, and Zhou Xuan was responsible for defending at the top of the arc.

Crawford didn't think about passing the ball, Zhou Xuan's defense breakthrough was better than Morrow's, the change was correct, and the height gap between the two was not too big. Crawford started at the last 5 seconds, rushing to the right first, and Zhou Xuan followed with small steps. He pulled the ball back and handed it to his left hand to change direction.

Zhou Xuan observed the opponent's distance and the amplitude of the feint, if he burst to the left, of course, it was possible to pass, but the shot was only a long-distance two-point, and the time to get close to the basket was not allowed. Crawford has been dangling around the perimeter and may well want to shoot a three-pointer.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan did not retreat sharply, but jumped lightly on the spot. He bounced lightly towards the skull, landed on the toes with his two feet, and used the reaction of muscle contraction to generate momentum, allowing him to run half a step longer. Seeing that he had a move, Crawford thought he was shaken, and made a follow-up action coherently, which was the stepback that Zhou Xuan guessed and shot from the three-point line.

Zhou Xuan was very well prepared, and took one step to jump the cap with all his might. Crawford was startled to see him jump up so quickly, but he couldn't change his movements, and made a quick shot to dodge the block, but the shooting posture was deformed, and the ball had no crosshairs, and it popped out of the frame.

The rebound was picked up by Randolph, and the Warriors quickly counterattacked, leaving them with five seconds left to attack. Morrow dribbled the ball through the half court, and Zhou Xuan got rid of the basketball under the cover of Turyaf and took it to the right side, and passed the ball to Turyaf.

At this point, the Knicks players don't foul anymore, it's stupid to send the opponent to the free throw line, and the person who defends Turiav is Harrington. Harrington is a good defender up front, and if he tries to use his height to shoot him in the low post, he might be cut off. But catching the ball on the move is a good way to restrain him, and he's not tall enough to play the tough defense of Martin of the Nuggets.

Turiaf is a brutalist, and after entering the alliance, he has staged many violent dunks on people, and it is difficult to be restrained when he rushes. He took the ball and stepped into the basket, jumped high, and pulled the ball to the back of his head with both hands.

Bang! The basket was bent by Turiafra, and the first quarter ended. 36 to 29.

Zhou Xuan delivered 13 assists in a single quarter, shocking the audience!
