In order to protect Deron Williams, who was committed by two fouls, Callesimo replaced him with Watson.

Luckily, he didn't try to replace Kidd, and if he did, Kidd would tell him, "Are you going to die?"

Regardless of whether it is against Zhou Xuan or Bledsoe, Kidd will only be played with now, and the Nets will have to surrender their guns at halftime. Knowing that he couldn't keep up with the pace, Kidd didn't want to make a useless attempt and just waited for the summer to retire.

The biggest problem for the Nets is not to prevent Zhou Xuan from scoring, but to prevent Bledso's fast attack, and Joe Johnson at No. 2 can't keep up with him, and the front line can't keep up.

The Nets' solution was that Watson would no longer break inside, pass the ball past half-court, and quickly return to Bledsoe after attacking.

It became Joe Johnson, Zhou Xuan was also resolute and fast, the Knicks grabbed the rebound, and Parsons launched a fast attack with a pass. Their defensive formation has been changed to 32 joint defense, and the position is not followed.

The Nets couldn't follow the Knicks to play a fast break, relying on the individual ability of the two forwards, and Joe Johnson also relied on covering the running position to catch the ball and shoot three points. The two sides were deadlocked in the second half, and the Knicks led 31-24 in the first quarter.

In order to prevent Zhou Xuan's assist, the Nets kept a close eye on others, and in the second half, Zhou Xuan singled out Watson to shoot three points, and caused another foul in the fast break, hitting both free throws.

He made six free throws in the first quarter, scored nine points and had eight assists, and nearly scored a double-double. The Nets' Anthony scored 12 points of his own and was the team's main firepower.

In the second quarter, Jeremy Lin and Matthews formed the perimeter, with Nick Young at small forward, Scola at power forward, and Chandler at center. The Nets went up with Delon, Kidd, Pierce, Evans, and Lopez.

The Nets bench has a slight upper hand, and it takes skill and experience to be experienced. Someone once said that Nick Young was Kobe Bryant, but when he met Pierce Sr., everyone understood what the truth was.

Nick Young is good at playing prestige in the regular season, lacking playoff experience, and his role has dropped again and again, playing time reduced to only 15 minutes, and his shooting percentage is just 40%.

Lopez pulled up to the high post to cover, staggered Chandler, and took the lead in mid-range shooting, and Delon bullied Jeremy Lin, who was playing the playoffs for the first time.

The Knicks' advantage is Scola and Matthews, Kidd can't guard Matthews, and Scola also has a way to score after blocking and picking.

Six minutes later, the Knicks continued to lead 41-37, Zhou Xuan and Bledsoe returned to the court, Matthews went to the small forward position, Anderson at the No. 4 position, and Chandler at center.

D'Antoni is making a new attempt at the lineup, and Anderson is just coming on at this time and is full of energy. The Nets put Lopez and Garnett in the twin towers, with Deron on the perimeter, Joe Johnson, small forward Anthony, and Pierce resting.

Lined up, the Knicks are clearly much smarter. The goal of the Nets is to allow the big man to split the interior and help the guard break through or shoot in the high post. But how can a big man's outside shooting percentage compare to a fast-break layup? The Knicks opened up with three small fast breaks.

Zhou Xuan dragged the ball back, and Bledsoe and Matthews went down quickly. One minute on the court, Zhou Xuan assisted in a double.

Barkley said: "The reason why Kidd is a star with poor shooting is because of his ability to organize fast breaks, and his first pass is particularly accurate. Later, Nash won two MVPs with fast breaks, and now it is Zhou Xuan's turn, and his long pass is very accurate. ”

"It's true, Bledsoe just has to run forward to a place where no one is around, turn around where he can go to the basket, and the ball will be in his hands, and the two work together very well," Smith said. ”

In other words, if he had changed teams and didn't have a point guard partner who passed the ball accurately, Bledsoe would definitely not have played so well. At this time, Bredsoe also felt very cool, and the Clippers also had Paul as a super guard, but Crawford was usually partnered with Paul, and he had nothing to do.

After four minutes, Callesimo replaced Lopez and accelerated the score, which stretched to 10 points. The Knicks are still single-defense, resolutely playing fast offense, even if it is a positional battle, it is a quick shot.

In this quarter, Zhou Xuan delivered 5 more assists, with 13 points, 1 rebound, 13 assists and 1 steal in the half. The Knicks led by 14 points, 59-45.

In the second half, the Knicks continued to play the No. 2 position with Bledsoe, and Matthews sat on the bench. Chandler also rested on the inside, Lopez didn't play on him, and Anderson was used directly for the center. On the No. 4 slot is Parsons. Five people who can shoot the basketball, implement the small-ball strategy.

The Nets coaching staff did not let the main team rest and use the courage of the bench, and sent an outside line composed of DeLong, Joe Johnson, and Pierce, and the speed was completely defeated.

Garnett is no longer the wolf king of the year, he can't beat Anderson in the low post, he can't squeeze the opponent with his back, he can only turn around and jump shots, and the shooting rate is not high. Prevent the Knicks from grabbing rebounds en masse and rely on confrontation to make up for the lack of height.

Zhou Xuan also retreated to grab the rebound, although he weighed the lightest on the court, he was better than Delong to grab, and he was very accurate in judging the landing point. Back then, he deliberately practiced grabbing rebounds, and the decrease in the number of rebounds was due to tactical arrangements, and he didn't need to go to the basket often, not that he wouldn't grab.

The Nets also lack big men, as long as Garnett is blocked on the perimeter, Zhou Xuan can grab rebounds, and when he wins the ball, he can launch a fast break.

8 minutes and 18 seconds, Zhou Xuan grabbed the backcourt rebound, pretended to pass the ball and shook past Delong, Delong, who had committed three fouls, did not dare to foul again, and Zhou Xuan advanced to the front court to score a layup for Parsons.

At 7 minutes and 59 seconds, Zhou Xuan grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and made a long pass to Bledsoe for a layup.

At 6 minutes and 12 seconds, Zhou Xuan picked up the backcourt rebound that popped up in the restricted area, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and assisted Parsons to shoot a three-point shot.

At 4 minutes and 47 seconds, Zhou Xuan grabbed the backcourt rebound, launched a counterattack with a long pass, and Leonard shook off Pierce and scored a violent dunk.

In this quarter, Zhou Xuan grabbed 4 rebounds, all of which were converted into assists. In the positional battle, the Knicks passed the ball back and forth on the perimeter to cover the running position, which also ensured high efficiency. At the end of the third quarter, they led by 18 points, 91-73.

Zhou Xuan had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter, and 17 points, 7 rebounds and 18 assists in the third quarter, close to a triple-double.

The game is not over yet, and countless stars who have followed the game have updated their tweets.

Nash sighed: "Zhou Xuan is afraid that he will win double 20 again today, and it is terrible to be able to play at this level in the playoffs." He has ruled the Union. ”

James said: "I'm optimistic about the Knicks winning the championship, although the Nets are very strong, they can't do anything with Zhou Xuan, he can give assists anywhere on the court, in any way." ”

Yi Jianlian said in a blog: "I am looking forward to playing alongside him at next year's World Championships, he is so strong, it will be very easy to compete with him. ”

At the end of the quarter, Zhou Xuan went down first to rest for a while. Jeremy Lin, Matthews, and Nick Young partnered on the outside, and all three were full of physical strength and pressed in the frontcourt. Anderson and Chandler also coordinated well with one offense and one defense.

Lopez's low-post offense was limited by Chandler, pulled to the periphery for DeLong to block and dismantle, the Nets' cooperation was too simple, it was a block, and then the star relied on his personal ability to attack. Although DeLong also scored a lot of points, he was not able to connect the team well.

When Deron passed the ball to Lopez in the middle to score, Barkley smiled: "Deron has another assist, this kind of pass does not require skill, it all depends on the feel of teammates, and Delon is best at this kind of passing after blocking." I used to think he surpassed Nash and Paul was the best guard in the league. Now it looks like he's overrated. Don't say that Zhou Xuan, Paul, Rose, Westbrookby, and even Wall are above him. At best, he is a top-10 defender in the league. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jeremy Lin relied on the cover to avoid DeLong, and then passed Lopez to score a layup. The Knicks held on to the advantage.

Five minutes later, Zhou Xuan and Bredsoe returned to the court, and there were five more attacking players, and the Knicks decided to attack to the end. The Nets also fielded an offensive lineup in order to chase points. is still dominated by Pierce and Anthony heads-up.

Zhou Xuan assisted Matthews and Anderson to shoot three points, and the difference widened to 22 points, and the Nets couldn't catch up.

Fans applauded the Knicks and cheered for Zhou Xuan.

He hit a three-pointer at 4:11 and then assisted Matthews for a layup. scored 20+20, after which he blocked Garnett and scored a layup.

While locking up the win, Zhou Xuan fixed his data at 22 points, 8 rebounds, 20 assists and 2 steals.

Both sides changed their main forces, and the last two minutes turned into garbage time. Usually the teams playing at home will fight until the last minute, and they can't easily admit defeat when fighting for the fans. But everyone on the Nets team couldn't lift their spirits, and looking at the atmosphere, this was not their home stadium at all, it was bigger than Madison Square Garden, and it could accommodate more fans, and the result was that more Knicks fans came to watch the game.

It's very frustrating to play in this atmosphere, and Garnett and Pierce have made mistakes. Veterans are still affected, not to mention young people. The Nets played badly after coming off the bench, and Nick Young and Jeremy Lin came to the spirit and played a wave of 8-0.

The Knicks scored 37 points in the final quarter to outscore by 31 points, 128-97.

This fiasco also quieted down the Nets fans, the Knicks lost home-court advantage is just a statement, and the Nets found the Knicks' goal is also nonsense. What they can win in the second game is the individual ability of the star, but the performance is better. The Knicks have made adjustments accordingly, and the overall cooperation is excellent.

Bredsoe had 27 points and 4 assists and no rebounds. Parsons also scored 20 points. The three are 20+, and the Knicks are full of firepower on the outside.

Looking at the Nets again, Anthony had a game-high 37 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and Delon, Pierce, and Joe Johnson also scored double-doubles. Their problem was the bench, with only Lopes scoring in double figures. The Nets team relies on six people, and everyone else is the head.

On the court, some people said that the Nets had great hopes of qualifying, and now few people think they can win. At the post-match press conference, everyone in the Nets team was also very low-key, and Garnett bluntly said that he couldn't accept this result, the team's fighting spirit was not enough, and the defense was not tight enough. At the same time, he also criticized the team's attack, believing that the lack of coordination is a heads-up. It wasn't the first time he'd said that.

Garnett wants to improve the team's enthusiasm in this way, but there is so much difference in rhythm and speed between the two teams, can it really be compensated for by the fighting spirit?
