Chapter 838 [Stimulation]
As soon as Zhou Xuan came up in the second half, he assisted Anderson to hit a three-point shot in the middle. Anderson is different from Parsons, Leonard and others, with a single role, that is, to shoot three-pointers, and always shoot very resolutely.
The Spurs also have such a person, and that is Matt Bonner. In the third quarter, Vicky replaced him and quickly returned a three-pointer. He's shooting close to three-point range this season. O, similar to Anderson.
Yang Jian said: "At this time, the Spurs replaced Bonner, not Split, and obviously wanted to fight with the Knicks to attack. In the last game between the two teams, the Spurs did not defend in the end, and this time they were released. β
Su Qun said: "The Knicks are not in shape as a whole, Jefferson is sitting on the bench at this time, and the most important thing is to shoot from the perimeter. So far, the Knicks have only made three three-pointers and made six of them, which is too low. β
Bosh table xiΓ n is still very bad. Can't find the feel, it's not a few simple words to turn the situation around, he played very passive in the face of Duncan, and after blocking and dismantling, Bamot and Green can also disrupt the shooting by misplaced defense. Parker was in charge of defending Matthews and didn't become an obvious loophole.
Bosh missed two shots, Leonard broke through and was blocked by Duncan, and the Knicks just relied on Zhou Xuan's personal singles to chase points. The Spurs' offense was not very good, Bamot and Dio had poor hands, and Green was also terrible on 6 shots, but they still maintained their lead and entered the final quarter.
Van Gundy said: "Zhou Xuan scored 2 points in the third quarter, proving that his scoring ability has not decreased, but this is a helpless choice, his teammates can't open it, he can only come by himself." β
Johnson said: "It depends on the end of the energy can not be adjusted, Matthews and Anderson have relied on three-pointers many times to save the team, they have to step up. β
As expected by the commentator, the Spurs kept shrinking the defense line in order to prevent Jefferson from attacking and Zhou Xuan breaking through.
Jefferson is most afraid of this, he has no height, he relies on strength and technique to score in the low post, it takes time to play strongly, and he can't shoot as soon as he turns around like Yao Ming. Separated from the perimeter, the Spurs then relied on the wheel to switch to the scrambled shot.
Matthews and Leonard hit the iron one after another, and if Zhou Xuan waited for an opportunity to shoot three points on the periphery, the others couldn't break through.
At this time, the Knicks coaching staff missed Bredsoe a little, and with him, the Knicks could play two guards and counterattack stronger. Augustine has strength, but he likes to play blocking and dismantling tactics, and his half-court position is slightly inferior in breaking ability.
In the summer free agency, there is a brawl guard who is good at counter-attacking, and that is Nate Robinson, and the price is not high. But D'Antoni doesn't want to coach that thorn anymore.
The Spurs played very patiently on offense, Duncan was not very efficient, shooting 4 of 13 in the third quarter, and he stopped shooting in the final quarter, constantly covering his teammates on the perimeter and responding to passes. Split was also able to do the same, and surprisingly, Belinelli became the leading scorer, hitting two three-pointers in the quarter.
Green also got a brief playing time, making 2-of-2 shots and scoring a single point in the game. In this case, the Knicks recovered some points. Helplessly, in the last two minutes, Ginobili suddenly threatened, shot three points, broke through and made two free throws, and scored six points in a row to stabilize the situation.
The last 3. B seconds, Matthews finally hit a three-pointer, but unfortunately it was too late. The Knicks were still six points behind and had to resort to foul tactics.
At the critical moment, Bamot hit both free throws, and the Spurs blocked Anderson's three-point shot to seal the win.
The score is 1o1o. The Knicks finally lost, losing to their old rival. Zhou Xuan had 3 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, and the assist failed to make a double-double.
D'Antoni said after the game: "Our players didn't relax, but they didn't shoot well today, and their luck wasn't on our side. Zhou Xuan passed a lot of good balls, and it will be us who grasp the one-third of the wins. β
The Knicks shot 7-of-3 from three-point range, and their shooting percentage was well below average. The mid-range shooting rate is not high, and many people swing abnormally. In particular, Bosh only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds in the whole game, and was overwhelmed by Duncan. Duncan didn't shoot much, but he had 13 points and 14 rebounds.
Jefferson's 18-point, 1o rebound swing was relatively stable, and he didn't play much playing time, and the Spurs took advantage of his slow-moving disadvantage and relied on cover to help outside players get shots. Belinelli, who made six three-pointers in the game, had most of his chances blocked from the side.
Zhou Xuan was very calm. "It's a shame to lose the game, we're very, very close to the record. But this is a game of basketball, you can't expect to have a good swing every night, you can't win every game. 3-1 says a lot about us, and we're strong enough to prove that the Lakers' winning streak isn't untouchable. Even if we can't break this season, we have a chance in the future. Historically, the Lakers have only won six games that season, and they haven't been very good in the late game. What we have to do now is to forget about this game and try to play every next game. The Bulls' 2-win record, we won't miss it again. β
Bosh was a little frustrated and apologized, saying: "I am most responsible for the loss of this game, I played too badly. β
Indeed, he shot less than 2 of 14 from the field Zhou Xuan didn't blame him, the Tigers also had naps, Kobe Bryant had 17 of 47, and Jordan also had a single B point
After winning this game, the Spurs not only did not become popular, but also hated by many fans. In addition to the fans of Quds Al-Quds, fans all over the world felt sorry. Rather than the veterans scattering the last light and heat, they certainly want to see the Knicks break incredible records. Now that the winning streak has been ended, the next time there is such an opportunity, I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey, maybe it won't be again.
All hearts are greedy. The Knicks improved their opening streak by 15 games, but fans still felt that it was not enough.
Most of the media said that three wins is a height that will go down in history, and the Knicks have done very well, they are the best team in the league. Even if the Spurs can win once in the regular season, as long as they don't trade in the mid-term, the Knicks will definitely be better in the playoffs.
The next day, the Knicks played back-to-back against the Rockets.
The Rockets have been in good form lately, winning a lot of games, and they are eager to avenge their last game. The Knicks had a big game, and the Rockets players were ready to fall into the ground.
Howard shouted before the game: "We've found a way to deal with them, that kind of thing in the last game is definitely not going to happen again, I'm going to guard it out, we're going to make sure the rotation is going to change." The three of them each wanted to throw it lightly. β
When the game started, it was not the same as the first game. The Knicks focus on high post pick-and-rolls, not side player running to catch and shoot. Zhou Xuan misplaced Jones twice in the opening game to score, and then attracted Beverley to chase and assist Bosh in the middle to score.
The Rockets mainly defended running without the ball, Zhou Xuan changed to the main attack with the ball, and the master passed the ball again, and no one was able to play by himself.
Zhou Xuan shot a lot in the last game, and he felt that if he threw more, he would be able to win. 3 games were dominated by assists, and his scoring was not high. Now that he realizes that individual offense must not be wasted, that playoff heads-up is inevitable, and a loss spurred him on.
He held his breath to hit the rockets, this time he didn't care about the number of assists or anything, and he attacked by himself.
Jones became a Rockets and played a good number this season, and many people think he is a qualified person, and compare his number to Josh Smith, who joined the Pistons, and think that the Rockets did not bring in Smith is a good thing.
Actually, Jones wasn't as good as he looked. He has a good offense, can shoot, can cut in the air; On the defensive end, he is just physically good, but his skills and defensive experience are very average, and he is easy to get past by feints. He is also average in terms of rotation transitions, if Zhou Xuan divides the ball to the inside after blocking and dismantling, he can't retract in time. A lot of opportunities have come from his position.
Beverley's chase defense is useless, and Howard is not easy to follow Jefferson. As soon as he makes up for it, Jefferson will run from the perimeter and shoot the ball in the middle of the shot.
In the single quarter, Zhou Xuan scored 17 points and assists, making 7 of 1o shots, including a three-pointer, and hit both free throws. He led the Knicks to a seven-point lead at 34-2.
In the second quarter, the Knicks didn't take advantage, the Rockets' bench defense was great, and Asik and Garcia were both experienced. Brooks and Motiyunas were powerful in their pick-and-roll offense. The only disappointment is Ci Shiping, and now the Rockets coaching staff no longer believes that he can still get back into form.
After Zhou Xuan came on the court, the Knicks' offense immediately went up a notch, not only did Zhou Xuan score, but Leonard also misplaced Harden to score, and the score widened.
In the second half, Bosh exploded. He was very aggrieved on the court, and several times today he staged an air cut dunk after misalignment, and Howard failed to protect the basket.
The Rockets' outside defense is very poor, Zhou Xuan has continuously delivered assists, and Beverley is active enough, but he is afraid of misalignment and is too short. The real misalignment prevention has to rely on Garcia, Jeri Bucco. The Rockets scored a lot of points on the inside, and Howard opened it up today, scoring six points in a single quarter. 7-of-9 shooting, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line
This time the Knicks changed their strategy and didn't use shark slashing tactics, and Howard was very active. If he hadn't made free throws, Howard could have hit a terrifying number.
In the last quarter, Zhou Xuan continued to play, first misplaced Garcia to break through and score a layup, and then covered the running position without the ball, and hit a three-point shot on the right side. He ran on the weak side to cover the position, Howard couldn't go out and when he went out, he hoisted to Jefferson inside. Asik and Howard are not under the basket, and no one can guard Jefferson one-on-one.
On the Rockets side, Harden went undercover and hit the rim several times from the perimeter. With three minutes remaining, the Knicks stretched the deficit to two points.
Harden is a very unstable player, sometimes he can play a progressive jΓΉ, extremely efficient, with a shooting rate of 7o, more than a dozen shots easy 3 Sometimes he has a very low shooting rate, such as 2 of 9 shots in February, but with an amazing 2 free throws to score 2 points, together he actually cut 2 points, which makes people exclaim "daddy whistle".
There is another situation like this one, where Harden both shoots and doesn't have the referee to blow the whistle. He made 4 of 19 shots from the field and helped the Knicks win easily.
Zhou Xuan scored 43 points, rebounds, 11 assists, and steals, and played a progressive jΓΉ, announcing that the Knicks refused to lose in a row
