After the warm-up, the game begins.

The Knicks started the same way. Zhou Xuan, Leonard, Parsons, Bosh, Jefferson.

Nets five: DeLong, Joe Johnson, Anthony, Garnett, Lopez.

Bosh jumped the ball and won and dialed it to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan passed to Parsons, and the middle covered without the ball and ran to the bottom right corner. Parsons immediately passed the ball and Garnett switched defenses. At this time, Jefferson helped Leonard block Joe Johnson at 45 degrees on the left side.

Zhou Xuan glanced near the bottom line and saw two empty spots, the middle lane was given to Bosh, and the misplaced play Delong. Directly empty for Leonard, Lopez was jealous of Jefferson and didn't get out, letting Joe Johnson chase after him.

Zhou Xuan immediately shifted to the middle lane on a large scale. Delon was worried about his hand and took a round around the top of the bosh. As a result, the ball passed over Bosh's head. Bosh didn't jump to catch the ball either. This is experience, Zhou Xuan will not give him an uncomfortable ball to pass.

Leonard ran to the middle to catch the shot, made a three-point shot, and the ball bounced into the frame. 3 to 0.

Barkley said: "This kind of assist with a wide range of transfer balls, I think only Zhou Xuan can see it, and Bosh is in the way." ”

"I think he was looking at the side of the position, seeing Joe Johnson blocked by Jefferson and predicting where Leonard was going," Smith said. ”

Barkley laughed: "He's got a god when it comes to passing. ”

The Nets attacked, Delong broke through after blocking and dismantling, Bosh changed defense, Delong was low-hearted, weight-dà, not afraid of confrontation, relying on Bosh to accelerate to the basket, turning around and passing to Anthony who cut at close range. Bosh was too late to get back to make up for it, and Anthony scored with a one-handed dunk.

Lopes made an off-ball screen on the perimeter to help Anthony get rid of it, and Jefferson couldn't keep up. 3 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled in the middle, broke through with the ball, dribbled under the crotch and opened the distance with Garnetra, took the ball, stepped to the left with his left foot, and then took a step to the right, relying on the sneak of pulling the ball to successfully pass Garnett to the basket, attracting Lopez to make up for the defense.

After taking the last step, Zhou Xuan jumped up and half-turned, and the pass from the back of his right head was given to the left side from the gap between the two inside lines, and Jefferson received the ball and threw the ball in one step. 5 to 2.

It's also a breakthrough point, which is more beautiful than Delon's.

The Nets attack. DeLong passes to Anthony, who runs off the ball and Bosh defends it. Anthony receives the ball and passes it to DeLong in the bottom corner. Zhou Xuan caught up and made Delong not turn around.

It was easy to make mistakes with the ball in the bottom corner, and the space for dribbling was too small, so Delon hurried to pass the ball again. With 22 seconds left in the back and forth, Anthony forced a pull-out shot, which was deflected wide by Leonard's interference, and Jefferson grabbed the rebound.

In order to better defend against Anthony, the task of defending Joe Johnson was given to Parsons. Many people think that if Leonard is given the ball, he can play DeRozan's number jù, the two have similar styles, and Leonard's three points are a little more accurate.

In the Knicks positional battle, Zhou Xuan passed to Parsons at 60 degrees on the left side in the front court, and Jefferson ran without the ball to cover the position, which was a headache for the Nets. On the perimeter, Parsons has a height advantage, which allows him to open up his vision and make passes on his toes. Even so, he still didn't drop the ball in the low position, thinking that it was better to pass the ball to Zhou Xuan.

Garnett followed Bosh in the bottom corner on the right. López switched out. Jefferson cut to the inside, and Zhou Xuan did not pause after receiving Parsons' pass, jumped lightly, and sent the ball to the middle with a volleyball setter. Jefferson squeezed Delon away and jumped to get the ball, and the frame was an easy one-handed shot before the opponent retracted inside. 7 to 2.

The Nets attacked, and after blocking and dismantling in the middle, the ball was passed to Lopez, and Zhou Xuan jumped in the middle to score. 7 to 4.

It was a glaring misalignment, but with Lopez shooting the entire game, the Nets couldn't have won on that. There has never been a team that has been killed by a big man catching the ball and shooting after a pick-and-roll. López has poor athleticism and rarely kills.

Knicks offense. Zhou Xuan didn't rely on the block, he organized the ball in the middle, and the two inside lines covered his teammates on both sides, Leonard cut inside, and Parsons ran from the left to the line.

Lopes followed Leonard to the bottom line, Zhou Xuan saw the opportunity, and the ball passed to the left side. Garnett was not physically strong, and Parsons received the ball and hung it low to Jefferson, who singled out Garnett and leaned twice to the baseline to turn and play cricket. 9 to 2.

Zhou Xuan didn't add an assist, which was also a good pass and gave it to the right place.

Every round is scored, and the Nets' fast break can't be played. The next time Anthony made a jumper that went wide, the Knicks countered and Leonard shot wide. The Nets finally had a chance to fight back, and Joe Johnson missed a three-pointer.

Zhou Xuan slowed down the rhythm to ensure efficiency, organized in the middle, Parsons and Jefferson covered the counterrun, this time Anthony chased the defense fast enough, Zhou Xuan passed, Parsons received the ball and pulled three points, and the ball went into the net hollow. 12 to 2.

The opening point difference widened to 10 points, and the Nets were blinded, and Coach Hollins hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Zhang said: "Entering the playoffs, the Knicks' defensive intensity has come up, and this time their joint defense is mainly to protect the interior. The Nets are short of pitchers on the perimeter. A shrinking formation can protect the rebound. Compared with the Knicks' interior line, the two big men of the Nets are too soft. ”

Yu Jia said: "There is also Plumlee on the Nets bench, he is in good shape this season, but he is not as good as the Knicks bench Anderson and Beasley. If the opening is so far behind, the Nets will not be able to play well. ”

The Nets didn't make any substitutions, and Lopes had to be on the floor to defend against Jefferson. They didn't have a better option than Garnett in the No. 4 position. Veterans are experienced, and others are even worse.

Six minutes later, the Nets' offense did not improve, DeLong broke through and couldn't attract the bag, and the Knicks resolutely defended alone, allowing him and Anthony to play alone.

Anthony can go heads-up, good numbers, but he needs to cooperate with his teammates, and he is not the kind of lone hero who leads the team to win by heads-up. Even if he is, it's not a good choice to fight Leonard like this. Garnett has no chance of picking Bosh, and he is waiting for opportunities on the periphery outside the block. Delong's assists are mostly points after breaking through and attracting defense, and he can't find too good opportunities to share the ball directly, and his teammates can't grasp it.

The Knicks continued to bloom more, and Zhou Xuan didn't need to break through, so he saw the opportunity to pass. The Nets relaxed their defense against him a little and shrunk the line to defend against Jefferson. After Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled in the middle of the road, he "brushed" two emergency stops and shots, and hollowed into the net. Declare the opponent's defensive strategy a failure.

In the last attack, Zhou Xuan singled out Delong, dangled around the periphery for 20 seconds, and hit a three-point shot with a retreat. Led the Knicks to a 16-point lead at 38-22. He personally scored 7 points and 9 assists, close to a double-double, and made 3 of 4 shots, which was extremely efficient.

In the second quarter, the Nets took control of the situation, and backup guard Jack jerked off and hit back-to-back shots. Junior forward Karasev also hit two three-pointers.

The Knicks played a bit chaotically under the leadership of Bredsoe and Gordon, running to the front court to shoot quickly, who received the ball and who shot, almost did not cooperate, and the shooting rate was not high.

The Nets narrowed the gap to 6 points and boosted their morale, but as soon as Zhou Xuan returned to the court, the Nets immediately stopped.

Zhou Xuan relied on blocking and dismantling the misplaced attack, and Telitovic was played by him in a single defense. As soon as the defender chased the defense, Zhou Xuan crossed Bosh in the middle, and the little prince of jump shot was not in vain. Bosh hit two three-pointers in a row and stabbed the Nets in the heart a few times to open the score.

In the last two minutes of the first half, Delon began to rush inside to score, and if he was a pitcher on the perimeter, the Nets would not be able to attack. If the shot didn't go in, Zhou Xuan immediately counterattacked, passing the ball to assist Bredsoe to score an empty dunk, and assisting Anderson to shoot three points. The difference was more than 15 points.

In the half, Zhou Xuan had 13 points, 15 assists and 1 steal, and went to double 20 again.

During the break, Yu Jia found out the number jù and said: "Entering the playoffs, Zhou Xuan's number jù dropped a little, and the playing time was only 33. 6 minutes, but his shooting percentage was very scary. Shooting percentage 71. 8% and 52% three-point shooting, ranking first among all players. Fans can look it up on the Internet, and that's right, it's really that exaggerated, he shoots more than many interior players under the basket. ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "James is also doing this style of play, shooting under reasonable circumstances to ensure the hit rate." In the past few seasons, James' shooting rate has been stable at more than 50%, and Zhou Xuan has done better, because he does not have James's physique, and must rely on teammates and personal skills to gain space, which is much more difficult, and his mid- and long-range shooting is much more accurate than James. ”

Yu Jia sighed: "Kobe Bryant said in the regular season that Zhou Xuan's personal ability was not the strongest in the league, and he was beaten 90+10. Looking at the numbers, Kobe Bryant's career shooting percentage was only 45%, and his three-point shooting dropped to 33. 3%, which can't be compared with Zhou Xuan at all. ”

Zhang Li said: "Kobe Bryant does not have such a good passing awareness as Zhou Xuan, he often faces the opponent's defense, and even packs strong shots, and it is normal for the shooting rate to be relatively low." In the past, Iverson and Maddy were also poor in shot selection. Zhou Xuan has now taught many young players how to play smarter with his actions. He's surpassed a lot of people and there's no one in the current squad better than him. ”

Yu Jia said: "I think it's only a matter of time before he surpasses Jordan, and he also said it in an interview." With this momentum, he may be able to win seven titles before the age of 30. ”

In the second half, the Knicks continued to control the situation.

Anthony made a cameo appearance in the No. 4 position, playing small-ball tactics, Zhou Xuan did not block and break through, and singled out Delong on the periphery by relying on his height advantage, protecting the ball and organizing the attack, creating opportunities for his teammates.

As soon as Lopez got on, Zhou Xuan began to rely on double cover to hit this guy in a dislocation, and the tortured Lopez was not light, so he could only use fouls to block him.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Knicks still led by 22 points, and D'Antoni replaced him with a full bench. The Nets started three more minutes and only recovered five points, seeing that there was no hope of a reversal, and they were also replaced by substitutes.

122-104, the Knicks won one more game in the second round and were in a good position.
