Chapter 621 [50+]
Zhou Xuan cut 40+ at the beginning of the second half!
The fans spontaneously set off a wave of people, and they liked to watch Zhou Xuan's performance. Last season, 70+ points were at the home of the Lakers and 66 points at the home of the Nuggets, and they couldn't experience that immersive feeling.
71 to 60, the margin widened to double digits. Every time Zhou Xuan scored, members of the Warriors' management felt their hearts twitch. This is like the stock market has risen by 1,000 points in a row, and the bull stocks have continued to rise and fall, but they have been watching the black all the way and finally stepping into the short......
The Warriors attacked, Curry ran back from the baseline, received the ball and turned around for a jumper. This ball was recognized by Zhou Xuan, and he directly bypassed the screener and rushed up from the side to block it, interfering with Curry, the shot was missed, and Gallinari grabbed the rebound.
Once the Warriors go out to block and dismantle inside, Gallinari's 208CM height has an absolute advantage. The warriors hurriedly returned to defense, and Zhou Xuan took the ball and fell into the positional battle.
Ellis began to press in the frontcourt, and when the opponent only had a single guard and was the core, the Warriors often used to press to consume the opponent's physical strength. Zhou Xuan cooperated with Gallinari in the backcourt, and then evaded Ellis to quickly pass the half court and handed it to Anderson.
Anderson's role for the Knicks was to shoot inside three-pointers, and he shot just 43 from the field last season. 1%, which is low as an insider, but his three-point shooting percentage is 39. 8%, most of the shots are on the periphery. In order to prevent him, the opponent's inner line can only follow. Let the defender have to defend hard, after all, he is also 208CM tall.
Stadameyer went to the middle to cover and block Ellis, who was catching up, and Zhou Xuan ran to the right. Wright didn't dare to follow, Gallinari stood on the right side and took a receiving pose, as long as he chased, the opponent would definitely pull out the ball, Ellis which cover got the 208CM Gallinari?
Anderson handed it to Gallinari, who received the pass and immediately passed it from the top of Wright's head to the bottom corner, Zhou Xuan received the ball and faced Turyaf, his left shoulder shook slightly, and the crotch dribbled to the right hand to break through the bottom line, David Lee was not under the basket, Turyaf knew that no one could make up for the defense, so he hurriedly fouled and pulled Zhou Xuan.
After all, he had been a teammate, and Turiaf was embarrassed to go up and have a savage charge, but he underestimated Zhou Xuan, pulled the left half of his body, Zhou Xuan didn't jump, leaned his right hand and threw the ball to the rebound, hit the board gently, and slowly fell into the basket. The referee blows the whistle, 2+1.
I just took over the Warriors, so don't let him score super high, I can't afford to lose that guy. Mark Jackson sighed in his heart. When he was a commentator, he watched Zhou Xuan score, he could be calm, laughing and teasing, and he felt pleasing and enjoyable when he saw the wonderful goals. Now as the head coach of the Warriors, it feels terrible to watch Zhou Xuan score.
Zhou Xuan stood on the free throw line, slapped twice, bent his knees, shot, and hollowed into the net. 74-60, 43rd personal point.
Ellis scored 18 points and performed well, but it was too much worse with Zhou Xuan, he wanted to return the color, relying on the no-ball cover to get rid of Matthews, and he made a three-point shot when he received the ball. David Lee grabbed a frontcourt rebound and relied on Xiao Si to turn and hook the ball in. 74 to 62.
David Lee's personal ability is very strong, just simple blocking and air cutting tactics, averaging 20 points per game, a stable two-double machine. No team on the offensive end dared to underestimate him, and Anderson struggled to defend himself. However, in order to create a better heads-up opportunity for Zhou Xuan, D'Antoni is determined to attack and not to Chandler. Otherwise, it would not be David Lee's turn to do whatever he wanted under the basket, and he is only 206CM tall.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan misplaced and singled Turyaf, and Ellis rushed up to cover the clip. Zhou Xuan gave the ball to Stadameyer, David Lee changed the defense, and Xiao Si gave the ball to Anderson.
Anderson got the open spot, and Curry didn't take him seriously when he made a jumper in the left corner. 77 to 62.
"The score difference has widened, if the warriors can't withstand this section, Zhou Xuan will soon have to rest." Listening to Yu Jia's tone, it seems that watching the Knicks win easily is a kind of torture. That's the difference between a strong team and a weak team. At that time, Jordan's Bulls, there were also many people who hoped that the Bulls would not be too strong, and they wanted to see Jordan score more points instead of going off the court early.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "There are many pitchers on the field, it is not good to cover Zhou Xuan, and if he does not cover him, he will play alone." Last season, the Knicks just rebuilt and had the best regular season record by relying on their pitchers. ”
The Warriors attacked, Curry split the ball after blocking and dismantling, the Knicks defended the outside shooter, leaving Stadamayre himself under the basket, Ellis broke through after a few passes, and the Knicks defense immediately retracted, and the strong side formed a co-defense, forcing him to pass.
Looking at Ellis's statistics, he averaged 5 assists per game and nearly 4 turnovers, and his organizational skills were not very good. He is so sudden that he can't think about passing the ball anymore, and he likes to jump up and pass, which is prone to mistakes. As soon as the Knicks flinched, he hurriedly passed the ball to the perimeter, Wright almost lost the ball, controlled it to Curry, and the Knicks expanded again. Seeing that the 24-second time was approaching, Curry made a strong jump shot that missed, and Xiao Si won the rebound.
The Knicks attacked, the Warriors defended according to the coach's arrangement, Ellis was blocked and chased after Zhou Xuan and his teammates formed a bag, this time Zhou Xuan passed to Anderson, before Matthews and Anderson avoided Curry without the ball, David Lee followed Matthews and ran inside, and the periphery was obviously misplaced. Anderson was very faceless, and he pulled out three points and hit again. 80 to 62.
"The Knicks went on a 12-2 run, and Anderson got his confidence after last season's training. If the Warriors don't play well offensively, the fourth quarter will soon become garbage time again. ”
The Warriors attacked, Ellis received the ball without the ball on the perimeter, jumped into the interior, and scored on the basketball on the pullup. 80 to 64.
Gallinari made a mistake in passing, Curry broke the ball successfully, Ellis went down a fast attack, Zhou Xuan did not kill Ellis in the first step, retreated relatively backward, and Ellis scored in the middle. 80 to 66.
The Knicks asked for a substitution, Gallinari went down and replaced Battier, and Matthews also went down and replaced Miller in order to reduce Zhou Xuan's physical exertion. With a double guard, it's easier to defend the Warriors' backcourt double guns.
Zhou Xuan missed two shots in a row, and after 2 and a half minutes, he finally waited for the next goal, Curry blocked and made a layup and didn't score, the Knicks counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan got rid of Ellis with Anderson's cover and scored in the middle of the shot.
After this ball, Zhou Xuan's attack was out of control. He first ran out of the outside to catch the ball, and scored a three-pointer in the middle under the cover of his teammates' double blocks. Then he received a pass from Miller in the front court and shot a three-pointer from Anderson. There was someone in front of him to block, and Ellis and Wright couldn't block it, scoring 51 points in the third quarter.
The margin widened to 20 points, 92-72.
D'Antoni replaced Zhou Xuan and Miller, and let Beverley and Leonard come on the field.
The big score is ahead, and the coach thinks that it is better to let Zhou Xuan come down and rest for a while, and the other party will chase the score and then go up, otherwise there is a suspicion of brushing the data, and if you are accidentally injured, the gains outweigh the losses.
Stoudeyer continued to stay on the court and attacked, with Chandler replacing Anderson to strengthen the interior defense. Zhou Xuan, the game became a little boring.
The Warriors are still offense-oriented, the Knicks have become defense-oriented, and the offense is played to Stadamire heads-up. Xiao Si's form was very sluggish today, only scoring 8 points and no dunks. The coaching staff wants him to get back into form as soon as possible.
The Warriors let Garcia play in the No. 4 position, leaving only one David Lee on the inside, and played a run-and-gun offense. Rush and Garcia scored back-to-back points to narrow the gap.
Zhou Xuan continued to rest, D'Antoni replaced Miller and Beverley to play double guards, Battier reached the No. 4 position, and Leonard continued to play. Under Stoudamire, only Chandler remained.
The two sides compared to the race, the pace was very fast, 7 seconds to run.
Zhou Xuan rested for a while and took the initiative to ask. The Warriors still have a chance of a comeback. As soon as he got off the court, the Knicks' offense was visibly blocked. The only leading scorers are him and Xiao Si, and the role players have average heads-up ability.
This is a hidden danger this season, and his teammates have begun to rely on Zhou Xuan, and without him, they will be judged by two teams. Back then, the sun also gave people this feeling, and it couldn't do without Nash. Smalls must have a defender to deliver the cannonball to be at its most powerful, rather than holding the ball himself.
After Zhou Xuan came on the court, Ellis chased the defense with all his strength when he was blocked, and surrounded Zhou Xuan with his teammates, Zhou Xuan did not play strongly, and distributed the ball to the periphery. Today Anderson opened up and hit another three-pointer, widening the margin.
In order to prevent Zhou Xuan, Mark Jackson didn't even mind losing, and continued to arrange the bag.
The Knicks' defensive strategy is similar to last season's, focusing on perimeter threes. Chandler and Anderson were resolute in their pounces. David Lee benefited from this, and whether it was a shot or an air cut after the block, he would be under less defensive pressure.
In the last 6 minutes of the quarter, Zhou Xuan scored 4 points by breaking through to make foul free throws, made a mid-range shot, scored 6 points, and handed out 3 assists, and the Knicks expanded the difference to 22 points.
Zhou Xuan was replaced again, and his data was fixed at 57 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and he won super data again. However, he scored 51 points in the third quarter, but he didn't score more than 60 points at the end, and many fans felt that they couldn't get enough, thinking that as long as he showed all his strength, the data could be more beautiful.
In fact, it's not that Zhou Xuan is playing, it's not that the Warriors' defensive focus is on him, if he forcibly makes a shot, it will be a data. Zhou Xuan is interested in taking super data, but he is unwilling to deliberately brush it when the score is ahead. The Warriors are now underdogs in his eyes, and winning the third quarter is the performance that the team should perform.
The Knicks benches got a chance to perform, and they still played very actively, with Beverley, Stephenson, Leonard, Novak, and Armondson on the court, and they were fast attacking when they had the opportunity.
The Warriors also replaced the fringe bench, but they couldn't be compared with the bench bandits back then, only the veterans Garcia and Rush had some strength, and the new young players were all playing randomly, making choices, and the offensive rhythm was terrible.
At 133-107 in the end, the Knicks won at home.
At this time, the Warriors' uniform team began to discuss a mid-term trade, and for the future, Ellis and Curry had to be separated. They need interior players who can defend, and they have to step up if they want to make the playoffs again.
