The Bulls attacked, Rose controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Boozer made a pick-and-roll.

The Knicks didn't change their defense, Anderson continued to defend the inside, and Zhou Xuan bypassed the chase Rose from behind.

Rose changed direction with the ball, pulled the ball and jumped up. This action made Zhou Xuan's scalp tingle when he saw it. Wade used this kind of action to bump into him last time, causing him to rest for most of the season. If a defender of similar height follows closely, it is easy to hit the knee with the knee. If it's a big guy defending, it's safer.

Zhou Xuan didn't fight as hard as Wade, his body retreated, and he couldn't interfere anymore with such a dodge, Rose jumped up in the air and dodged Stodamire's supplementary defense to score the basketball. 5 to 4.

Van Gundy saw the mystery at a glance. "Zhou Xuan can block this ball, but he takes the initiative to get out of the way, he is afraid of colliding with Rose."

Joan Barry laughed: "It seems that he is still worried about the injury happening again, so this defensive mentality is not right. ”

Van Gundy shook his head. "I think he was right to hide, one is that Stadamier can interfere a little more behind him, and the other is that Rose's movement is very dangerous, this kind of jump, one is not careful, and it will collide with people. Zhou Xuan will definitely do this trick, but he rarely does such dangerous actions when he breaks through, and even if he can't touch it, he is easy to sprain his knee. ”

The move of killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred self-damage, Zhou Xuan would not use it as a conventional weapon. If Van Gundy had a conversation with him, maybe the two would have become confidants.

In Zhou Xuan's view, Rose, as a point guard, lacks a broad basketball vision. His strongest ability is to rely on his physical fitness to break through the inside, shoot or share the ball. No matter how Rose looks at it now, it has nothing to do with the draft template Kidd, but more like another Marbury, who still weakens his three-point ability. He was able to achieve today's results, and the beautiful statistics are still due to the arrangement of the coach and the blocking of his teammates. Since Ben Gordon went to the Pistons, the Bulls have only arranged tactics for him on the outside, and Gordon was able to score 20+ that year.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan and Anderson covered and distributed the ball to the empty Gallinari, who relied on his height advantage to single out Lore Deng and missed the jumper.

Bulls attack. Rose dribbled at the bottom of the three-point arc, and Lore Deng helped Rose make a fake block, which was not useless, which could make Gallinari, who defended Lore Deng, think that he really wanted to cover for Rose, and stepped forward to block Rose's breakthrough, and most of the NBA defenses were crossed out. Lore Deng took advantage of Gallinari's deceived half-step, moved quickly, and used the double blocking of the players to pull out space.

Gallinari was also not a vegetarian either, following from the side. If a forward with good bounce is like James, maybe he may get an empty dunk when he gets to the basket, but Lore Deng doesn't have such a strong explosiveness, and he still has to get rid of Gallinari through the cover of the team.

Lore Dun pulled out the perimeter, everyone knew that he was good, he could break through and shoot three-pointers, and Matthews quickly grabbed the passing route when he switched defenses. And Boozer, who blocked Gallinari, also quickly inserted to the basket. Rose just wanted to pass the ball, but a Stoudamire came to protect the basket and blocked Boozer. Rose had no choice but to pass to a teammate in a 60-degree corner position on the left.

Unfortunately, the person who was released on the perimeter was Noah, and Gallinari did not step forward to interfere, so he shrank in the corner of the penalty area. Noah's shooting stance is odd, his legs barely bend, his matchbox-like jump height, and then he pushes the ball straight in front of his face. I don't know who taught this posture, it's strange if it's accurate, and the ball pops out of the frame.

Lore Deng went inside, rushed to grab the rebound, and then forced Matthews to force the basketball. 5 to 6.

The Bulls overtook it. Gallinari hesitated on defense and made a late save to interfere with Noah's shot, resulting in an open post on the inside.

Assistant coach Malone yelled "shrink" on the court, and they had already decided before the game to use compression defense against the Bulls, and there were two Bulls on the scene who were not good at shooting, and there was no stable shooting point for three-point shots. That's where the Knicks excel.

To the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan waved his hand, and his teammates began to cover on the side. Zhou Xuan protected the ball at the top of the arc, and Gallinari relied on the double cover to get rid of it, and after a circle from the baseline, he came out from the right side.

His biggest feature is that he shoots without dead ends, and he doesn't have to stand in a certain position, which can better drive the opponent's defense. The Knicks' cover is done in good quality. Smalls and Anderson practiced this on the original team, and the Bulls players had to switch defenses in order to prevent Gallinari from shooting threes. Boozer followed.

Seeing that Gallinari didn't have a chance, Zhou Xuan didn't pass, he took a step back with the ball at the top of the arc and opened up space with Rose. At this time, Stadameyer under the basket was held by Bogans, and the two were already in love with each other.

Bogans circled forward, Stadameyer turned around and touched the basket, Zhou Xuan did not hesitate to come to a counter-hanging, Bogans wanted to jump up to block, but Stodameyer's butt pouted and he couldn't jump. Xiao Si received the ball and easily scored on the basketball. 7 to 6.

Su Qun said: "Zhou Xuan opened with three consecutive assists, and he was in good shape, and there was no big surprise today that he could assist and get a double." He couldn't compete for the assist title last season due to injury, and this year is very promising. ”

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan's style of play has changed a little bit from when he was in the Warriors, in the past he would pass to his teammates, and then run and wait for the pass back, but in these games, he is more on the perimeter to protect the ball and look for opportunities, most of the time the ball is in his hands. ”

Doing so may be called sticky ball, but Zhou Xuan can only play like this, and he found out in training camp and preseason that the Knicks lack a second organization point, and his teammates are not strong in their ability to respond, so he doesn't control the ball and passes it out of the ball and becomes a single person. Douglas and Beverley are also like shooting guards.

Rose relied on covering the attack, and after blocking Zhou Xuan, he relied on speed to pass Stadamier with a change of direction. Obviously has a superhuman body, but Stadameyer is always unable to prevent breakthroughs and is prone to feints, which makes people very helpless. Rose went to the basket to make up for Anderson's defense, and Gallinari also shrunk the defense and blocked the basket.

Seeing that he was about to get caught in the bag, Rose hurriedly passed the ball to the perimeter, and Lore Deng received the ball to attract Matthews to defend and pass to Bogans, who made an open shot, this time in. 7 to 8.

The Knicks attacked, Rose pressed a little harder, and the backcourt began to grab the ball. Just like all teams have seen the Heat play hard this year, Rose also regards Zhou Xuan as an old enemy, it doesn't matter if he loses to other teams, winning the Knicks is of great significance to him.

This kind of pressing Zhou Xuan also has a way to break, and as soon as half of the court is over, he blocks and dismantles with Anderson, and then the two are separated from one left and one right. Anderson went to the right side, Lore Deng could only follow, the big man pitcher couldn't go unguarded, and Rose chased Zhou Xuan.

Rose was very fast, and he had already reached the left side in a few steps, and Zhou Xuan didn't want to force a shot, as long as there was space to pass the ball. On the flank, Stadamire gave Matthews a cover and blocked Bogans, who ran to the bottom left corner. Stoudmeier cuts inside into the air.

The cooperation between the two is very tacit, Xiao Si is empty, Noah can't go to Matthews, otherwise a high throw will be empty, and Bogans will not be able to prevent it. But Noah stayed under the basket, and this off-ball cover was successful, Zhou Xuan took the ball and moved a step sideways to the middle, throwing the ball to the bottom left corner with both hands.

Matthews on the left side received the ball and adjusted, Bogans chased the defense with all his might, Lore Deng couldn't come up to make up for the defense on the side, and Anderson was also a pitcher, pulling him away and running away. Matthews made an easy shot, was very solid, and hit a three-point shot. 10 to 8.

Zhou Xuan's fourth assist, a non-fancy pass, but his teammates' every move did not escape his eyes, and the pass was the best position. When he returned to the defense, Matthews gave Zhou Xuan a thumbs up, and there was a thought in his heart - cool!

Su Qun said: "Matthews is really a treasure dug up by the Knicks, although the rookie is not famous, but he can really score, he scored in double digits in the first two games, and the three-point shooting rate is also very high." ”

Yang Jian said: "He works harder defensively, and he is very impressive to play with Ray Allen, and he is really a good role player. ”

The Knicks also used a joint defense, Matthews faced Bogans on the left side, and as soon as Boozer received the ball, he immediately contracted to help Anderson. Boozer couldn't turn down the middle and played the ball out of the line. Matthews then turned and rushed towards Bogans. Bogans didn't dare to shoot when he had the opportunity, and Matthews didn't take a feint and missed the opportunity.

With a dribble on his back, Bogans crossed the middle to Rose. Noah pulled out the cover again, separating Zhou Xuan from him. Thibodeau's tactical focus is also resolutely misplaced, not giving Zhou Xuan a chance to play his ability to defend against breakthroughs.

At this time, the Knicks' defense also had problems, Stadamire did not break through Carlos, but with Noah, who had limited attack power, Zhou Xuan bypassed the cover to chase the defense, and Rose was already at the top of the arc and hit a three-point shot. 10 to 11.

Van Gundy sighed: "Stoudamire's defense still has a lot of problems, if he blocked Rose at that time and Zhou Xuan could form a package, it would be difficult for Rose to send a straight pass to Noah, not to mention Anderson under the basket, but he chose to follow people." Rose didn't practice in vain during the holidays, but his shooting was a big improvement from when he first entered the league. ”

"It's probably going to take some time to get the Knicks better defensively, and they've brought in Malone and Woodson, and it should improve this season," Joan Barry said. ”

The Knicks players work defense, but their personal ability is limited, which makes Zhou Xuan feel helpless. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan also has a way to tear apart the opponent's defense line by blocking and dismantling, and the effect of running and bombing against the bull is not good, compared to speed, the bull is superior.

The current Knicks lineup is built according to some of Zhou Xuan's ideas, and it is not an ideal lineup to play and run. Thanks to Mullin joining the Knicks' uniform team, if D'Antoni is arranged, it is estimated that Douglas and Zhou Xuan will play double guards, and the defense will be even worse. Matthews played in the No. 2 position, and he had a physical advantage on the defensive end, not afraid of misalignment, which was able to withstand several outside attacks.

In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 7 assists, and Stoudamayre had 8 points and 4 rebounds. The Knicks led 32-27. The Bulls attacked, Rose controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Boozer made a pick-and-roll.

The Knicks didn't change their defense, Anderson continued to defend the inside, and Zhou Xuan bypassed the chase Rose from behind.

Boozer couldn't turn down the middle and played the ball out of the line. Matthews then turned and rushed towards Bogans. Bogans didn't dare to shoot when he had the opportunity, and Matthews didn't take a feint and missed the opportunity.

With a dribble on his back, Bogans crossed the middle to Rose. Noah pulled out the cover again, separating Zhou Xuan from him. Thibodeau's tactical focus is also resolutely misplaced, not giving Zhou Xuan a chance to play his ability to defend against breakthroughs.

At this time, the Knicks' defense also had problems, Stadamire did not break through Carlos, but with Noah, who had limited attack power, Zhou Xuan bypassed the cover to chase the defense, and Rose was already at the top of the arc and hit a three-point shot. 10 to 11.

Van Gundy sighed: "Stoudamire's defense still has a lot of problems, if he blocked Rose at that time and Zhou Xuan could form a package, it would be difficult for Rose to send a straight pass to Noah, not to mention Anderson under the basket, but he chose to follow people." Rose didn't practice in vain during the holidays, but his shooting was a big improvement from when he first entered the league. ”

"It's probably going to take some time to get the Knicks better defensively, and they've brought in Malone and Woodson, and it should improve this season," Joan Barry said. ”

The Knicks players work defense, but their personal ability is limited, which makes Zhou Xuan feel helpless. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan also has a way to tear apart the opponent's defense line by blocking and dismantling, and the effect of running and bombing against the bull is not good, compared to speed, the bull is superior.

The current Knicks lineup is built according to some of Zhou Xuan's ideas, and it is not an ideal lineup to play and run. Thanks to Mullin joining the Knicks' uniform team, if D'Antoni is arranged, it is estimated that Douglas and Zhou Xuan will play double guards, and the defense will be even worse. Matthews played in the No. 2 position, and he had a physical advantage on the defensive end, not afraid of misalignment, which was able to withstand several outside attacks.

In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan had 4 points and 7 assists, and Stoudamayre had 8 points and 4 rebounds. The Knicks led 32-27.
