The Warriors played a crazy 14-2 overtake in the last 4 minutes, and Zhou Xuan scored 13 assists in a single quarter.

Kenny? Smith sighed: "I believe that the fans of Paul and the Hornets will be very depressed now, the Knicks have been helping Zhou Xuan consolidate his position as the assist king in both games, and their defense is too poor." And Zhou Xuan's assists in this game will almost definitely exceed 20. ”

Webber said nonchalantly: "If the Knicks played harder, this would not have happened, and the amazing thing is that when the Warriors played the climax of the counterattack, D'Antoni never called a timeout, he called one before, and maybe felt that he didn't want to call another one in two minutes after calling once." Knicks players only had two fouls in a single quarter, and if there were more fouls, Zhou Xuan would not have so many assists. ”

13 assists in a single quarter is an incredible statistic! Zhou Xuan's feat was far from the Spurs' John Brown on April 15, 1984. Lucas's record of 14 assists in a single quarter is also just one short. The 13 assists in a single quarter are obvious to the team, if they are all calculated according to the two-point shot, that is to say, 26 of the Warriors' 36 points are directly related to Zhou Xuan's passing, and he himself scored 4 points in this quarter, this quarter is completely his own performance.

According to the league's statistics, in addition to Lucas, who once reached the feat of 14 assists in a single quarter, the Mavericks' former head coach Avery? Johnson vs. Steve? Nash had 12 assists in a single quarter. "Lone Wolf" Marbury once hit 10 assists in a single quarter twice.

Zhou Xuan rested in the second quarter, Watson, Ellis, Margetty, Turiaf, Anthony? Randolph comes on.

The Knicks replaced Jeffries, and the control of the rebounding ball and the offensive power dropped very much. There is a lack of substitutes on the inside, and David Lee and Harrington can't play more than 40 minutes, so they must be exhausted.

After the substitution, the Knicks can only rely on Quentin? Richardson, Robinson, and Belinelli, who were traded from the Warriors, shot and birded, but Wilson? Chandler continued to play the No. 4 spot on the court, ensuring that the pick-and-roll defense was not too bad, and the Warriors' interior offense was not good.

"Little Potato" Robinson is starting to go berserk. As soon as Zhou Xuan got off the court, he immediately came to his senses, and hit a continuous emergency stop jump shot through blocking and dismantling. His characteristics are somewhat similar to Zhou Xuan.

Under the influence of Robinson, Ellis also began to score. He is a hot-blooded young man who just wants to express himself and doesn't think too much about it at all.

Margeti was a little unhappy with this, originally the old Nelson wanted him to play as a substitute, but now he is only responsible for defense and can't touch the ball for a few rounds. His habit is also to attack with the ball, but no matter how he and his teammates cover the air cut, Ellis always plays by himself, and after the last he simply stands still and waits for the pass to reduce unnecessary physical exertion.

Kenny? Smith found the problem and said: "Now as long as Zhou Xuan is a little bit, the Warriors' offensive organization will be chaotic, Ellis and Margeti both like to attack with the ball by themselves, and they don't cooperate tacitly." There were some mistakes in Nelson Sr.'s lineup today, and I think the two of them had better not go together. ”

"It also reflects how many offensive players the Warriors have," Webb said. ”

Smith said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan knows how to help his teammates, as long as he partners with him, Turiaf can score, if Zhou Xuan is allowed to take a substitute, the effect will probably be better." And Nelson Sr. must have hoped that Zhou Xuan would always be on the court. ”

After the substitute went crazy against Biao, the score did not open, and Zhou Xuan returned to the field 6 minutes later, and replaced Watson and Ellis with Dubie. Nelson's substitutions looked haphazard, more like a walkthrough lineup. Margeti also came off the field and brought on Azubuuk, with Turiaf and Zach on the inside? Randolph partner. Turyaf has played more minutes and is the best defender on the Warriors' interior.

At the timeout, D'Antoni said to the players: "Do you know how many assists Zhou Xuan has taken? 13 times, 13 times in a single session. If he continues to play like this, we will be the laughing stock of the whole league. The person who is staring at himself must press Zhou Xuan without the ball, and he can't let him pass the ball easily. Keep someone in front of him. ”

After saying that, D'Antoni himself felt that it was not very reliable, there was someone in front of him, Zhou Xuan could still pass it to the side, and he also knew what kind of attack power Randolph was. At the time, he and the entire coaching staff felt that Randolph was a cancer of non-defense, but now it is found that Randolph is much more intimidating on the offensive end than Harrington. Of course, his defense is not good enough, but how good can David Lee be?

D'Antoni complained about the lack of defensive blue-collar players on the team, which is paradoxical, because he doesn't want to use blue-collar workers when they come, and he prefers offensive players who can shoot threes and run, otherwise he wouldn't have offered to trade Harrington. The person who can attack and defend is a superstar, should he get a team of All-Stars?

The Knicks players listened very carefully on the surface, but it didn't do much. The Warriors are a good example of this, no matter how much emphasis is placed on defense, if you are not good at it, you are not good at it. It would be too difficult for them to expect David Lee and Crawford to suddenly become defensive experts.

As the game continued, Zhou Xuan knew that he had a lot of assists, and his goal was to get more assists and create a miracle.

When he stepped onto the pitch, the fans cheered and went crazy. The cheer became very harsh to Ellis's ears, like a kind of sarcasm for him. He thought he would be a new core on the outside in the new season, but he turned out to be a substitute, which is too much of a contrast.

The Knicks also made substitutions, David Lee and Harrington re-appeared, and Gallinari, Crawford, and Dujon were on the outside, and they were the starting lineups in the opening game. D'Antoni often makes substitutions like this, four up and four down, or five up and five in one breath. This is not good, several people sit in the field for a while, it is inevitable that they need to move and then exert their power, and going up together may affect the feel.

As a result, Crawford broke through Zhou Xuan for the first time and was unsuccessful, passing to the periphery Du Hong and David Lee to cover and then split the ball, the latter failed to score a high jumper, Zhou Xuan grabbed the rebound, and immediately threw a long pass to the frontcourt.

After David Lee made a shot, he misplaced, and Dolby rushed to the front, receiving a long pass and scoring with an easy one-handed dunk, 53-47. The Warriors continue to lead.

Zhou Xuan's 14th assist was completed as soon as he came on the court. D'Antoni had a nonchalant expression on the sidelines, not knowing what to say, and many defenders did not have so many career-high assists.

Zhou Xuan rushed to the basket after watching David Lee shoot, which was also an attempt, he judged the landing point of the rebound, the arc was not high, and the bounce was farther, and the result was taken down when no one was stuck on the right side. In the future, he also plans to watch more videos and materials and study ways to grab rebounds, so that there will be more opportunities to launch fast breaks.

Of course, this method is not every time Turin, the Knicks attack again, Zhou Xuan wanted to grab the rebound, but David Lee grabbed the rebound in the front court and distributed the ball to the perimeter, and Crawford, who was in charge of defense, was leaked. Open three-point shot. 53 to 50.

The Knicks strengthened their defense against Zhou Xuan, resolutely misplaced, and then defended by rotating positions, and at the same time fouled a little harder. However, the disadvantages of this method are obvious, the opponent still scores, but it is difficult for Zhou Xuan to assist, Zhou Xuan passes to Dubi and Azubuk, and the latter redistributes the ball to the weak place of the defense to form an assist.

And the Warriors have Turiaf, the low post defense is much better, and the breakthrough Crawford is a big hat. At halftime, 69-58, the Warriors' lead reached 11 points. Zhou Xuan only handed out two assists and did not continue to score, and the halftime statistics of 4 points and 15 assists were dazzling enough.

Dolby played well, hitting two three-pointers, plus counterattacking, to score eight points in a single quarter.

At half-time, D'Antoni changed his plan again and reversed what he had said. Restricting Zhou Xuan from allowing him to assist easily, the players did it, but there was no hope of winning this game. D'Antoni still wants to win, so he asks to speed up the tempo of the attack and keep running.

Running and bombing will increase the number of rounds, and it is also easy to make mistakes, and it is easier to be counterattacked by opponents. But D'Antoni figured it out, and he was more bitter that the team couldn't play at the pace he liked than for Zhou Xuan to set a record. It's a pity that Zhou Xuan is not a Knicks person, otherwise he has absolute confidence to kill the Warriors.

The old Nelson of the Warriors did not talk to Zhou Xuan about the record and the number of assists, but only said that he wanted the team to speed up the tempo, and sent the strongest offensive lineup, and played small-ball tactics in the opening starters. In fact, the old Nelson also hopes that Zhou Xuan can break the record and leave a strong mark in the history of the Warriors and even the history of the NBA.

Both sides wanted to play fast, and the second half started intensely. Crawford and David Lee hit two first, and then Ellis returned the favor. Margeti drew a foul on a pick-and-roll offense......

D'Antoni came up with a bombardment after 7 seconds, and they shot when they had the chance, never hesitated, and then returned to the defense. The Warriors use the same method, often two teammates have just run past half the court, and someone breaks through the three-point line to complete the offense.

Under this style of play, it is easier for Zhou Xuan to play his strengths, because there are a lot of gaps, and he can shoot directly when he passes his teammates to take a step. Margety, Ellis, and Azubuke all attacked the basket with pull-up jump shots, occasionally making breaks. The score alternates up.

The Knicks' outside line was opened, and Crawford was terrible once he found his touch, hitting even three points, and Gallinari also scored three points. The Warriors shot more two-pointers, and the score gradually caught up. Today is a completely outside world, and Randolph has not dominated the basket like last time.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball in the counterattack, and unknowingly assisted 20 times, exceeding the data of the last time he played New York, and there was still one quarter left in the game.

At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 21 assists, and almost all of his 6 assists in a single quarter were sent during counterattacks, and he did not make a single shot in the entire quarter. Compared to the away game in New York, he didn't play against the sky, but he passed some balls that could be thrown, took fewer shots, and made more achievements for his teammates, and his goal was to brush up on assists.
