Chapter 487: Stub Outbreak
The Knicks didn't make any substitutions, and the interior continued to be paired with Stadamire and Anderson.
The Bulls attacked, Rose rushed inside on cover, and the Knicks formed a contraction. Rose jumped up and distributed the ball to the perimeter, Boozer came on the court and took the ball on the right side, Anderson pounced, Boozer shook it up and broke through the middle with the ball.
As soon as he took a step, Zhou Xuan reached out from the side to steal and stabbed the basketball.
As soon as Boozer received the ball, Zhou Xuan thought of several possibilities. One is the jump shot, Anderson is not short, and stepping forward can play a role in interference. The second is to break through after feints, and it is easier to score points when shaking out space. Zhou Xuan decided to let go of Rose to steal, and someone would retract when Rose burst into the inside, and it would be difficult to ensure efficiency when he ran out of the ball to catch the ball and shoot. Rose has a problem with him, two bottom corners are not accurate, and if it takes time to run to the top of the arc and receive the ball at 60 degrees on both sides, teammates can also rotate positions.
His actions seemed unreasonable, a gambling steal, but they were actually carefully calculated and risky.
Zhou Xuan grabbed the basketball before Boozer and ran across the half court, and Rose chased after him from behind. Zhou Xuan observed Rose's position with his peripheral vision, pulled the ball up before he reached out to steal the ball, and took three steps as soon as he entered the three-point line, Noah caught up with the block from the other side, and Zhou Xuan half-turned and jumped to the periphery.
Boozer defended Stadameyer, Lore Dun and Gallinari, and Anderson were let go. Anderson was a backup for the Nets and Magic in the first two seasons, completely unappreciated, and even if Thibodeau said he could shoot threes, it was easier for the star to attract attention once he counterattacked, and the Bulls players relaxed their defense against role players.
Anderson received the ball at 70 degrees on the left side with little adjustment, and he shot it when he pulled it up, and so far he shot 1-of-4 from three-point range. The shot was easy, popping into the box, 99 to 103. Zhou Xuan's 16th assist.
Su Qun said with a smile: "There is still a gap of 4 points, and the gap of 15 points is catching up at a glance, and Zhou Xuan's tandem is very good." ”
"He had more assists than points, and he could see it when he had a good chance, and the Bulls just called a timeout, and this mistake was a blow to their morale," Yang said. ”
The Bulls attacked, Rose still relied on blocking and dismantling to find opportunities, the Knicks blocked inside, Rose chose to break through with the ball, and the three shrank inside. Zhou Xuan didn't chase after Rose, but went directly to the person he was most likely to pass to, and stayed on the periphery.
When Rose turned to look for Boozer, he saw Zhou Xuan, his rhythm suddenly stagnated, and he wanted to pass but didn't pass out, but at this time Gallinari was close, Rose couldn't turn around, and he couldn't hold the ball anymore and had to wait for his teammates to answer. Lore Dun took the ball and was entangled in Anderson, stepping back and making a jumper. 99 to 105.
"Well defended! Next time, continue to guard against this. Zhou Xuan shouted at Anderson when he received the baseline ball, and applauded twice vigorously.
Although the goal was scored, it was defended in place, and Lore Deng would break through with the ball, but the main means of scoring was the jump shot, and the goal was achieved when it interfered with the jump shot.
The Knicks attacked, and the three pulled to the perimeter, this time Zhou Xuan made the easiest choice against Lore Deng after blocking and dismantling, giving Stadameyer in the middle, and then withdrew from the three-point line to occupy the position in the bottom corner of the right side.
Lore Deng followed Zhou Xuan very closely, and was slow to retreat to block the air, Rose and Xiao Si had a gap in physique, and they couldn't prevent the opponent from breaking through, and Stadameyer rushed up with the most power. Noah went to the basket to make up for it, and Stoudamire was not greedy, passing the ball to Gallinari in the bottom corner.
It was too late for Lore Deng to chase down Gallinari, but Gallinari missed a three-pointer from the bottom left corner. Despite the bias, the opportunity has been created very well. The rebound was obtained by Boozer, the Bulls broke fast, Rose gave the ball to Korver, the latter received the ball and missed the shot, Zhou Xuan returned to the inside to win the rebound in the backcourt and stabilized the situation.
Positional battle Zhou Xuan and Stodameyer blocked and dismantled, Luoer Deng changed defense, Zhou Xuan burst to the right with the ball, pulled away and retreated, and Stodameyer cut to a low position.
Without having to hold the ball, Smalls attracted Noah's defense, and Rose couldn't have kept him in the low post. Gallinari was vacated again, and Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to his left hand and changed direction to the middle. Luoer Deng followed, and was blocked by Stadameyer, and Xiao Si took a step and stood in the "horn position".
At this time, Ross was in a very awkward position, and wanted to rush to the bottom corner to change the defense of Gallinari, but Zhou Xuan followed his ass to the middle, and was suddenly in a dilemma. Noah was also in an awkward position, with Smalls not only attracting his defense, but also blocking Lore Deng. Zhou Xuan took the ball in the middle and took a step, making a feint with both hands to the left bottom line, Rose was afraid that he would pass the ball to Gallinari, and wanted to stop halfway through the run. Zhou Xuan took the opportunity to pass between Rose and Noah, jumped up and scored a backhand basketball from the left right hand. Noah let go of Stadameyer and didn't cover it. 101 to 105. Zhou Xuan's personal 13th point.
Joan Barry shouted, "A stitched layup, this shot reminds me of Parker of the Spurs." ”
Van Gundy said: "The Bulls' defense has been breached, and they don't know whether to shrink or expand the road to defend the three-pointer. If you defend too far away, Stoudamire's singles ability can be brought into play. Despite leading by four points, the Bulls have little advantage to speak of. Their offense was tougher than the Knicks. ”
The Bulls immediately verified Van Gundy's words with actions, and in the face of the Knicks' 122 compression joint defense, Rose missed a strong shot from outside the three-point line, and the rebound was obtained by Anderson. He has average strength and can also protect rebounds with his height.
The Knicks fell into a positional battle again, and the Bulls fans chanted "defend" together, hoping that the home team could defend it. Zhou Xuan first stretched out two fingers to give his teammates a code, and then played a block and dismantling with Stadamire.
The teammates ran to the bottom corner, Matthews and Gallinari moved to the upper line together, and Gallinari reached the top of the arc in the middle, with Anderson on the left and Matthews on the right. Only Stoudamire covered and cut to the basket.
Zhou Xuan started at full speed, made a second block with Anderson, and dodged Lore Deng in the bottom left corner. At this time, if you want to stop him, you can only go up to Noah. Noah didn't block, Zhou Xuan shot directly, Rose didn't dare to chase, and the middle of the new Linali was completely empty.
Zhou Xuan stepped back and jumped out of the three-point line, jumped up with the ball, Noah saved to block, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the middle. It's a quick pass with a flat basket that only a superman with a physical fit like Stoudmayre can pick up. Xiao Si jumped up to catch the ball with both hands, and caught the basketball through the retreating Boozer. Boozer's quality and height were at a disadvantage across the board, and he stretched out his hand without jumping. 103 to 105. Zhou Xuan's 17th assist.
Is there really no way to prevent it? He and Studamayre were too strong together. The Suns weren't going to do any better than they were now. Thibodeau thought to himself. Noah has holes in his defense, Boozer can resist people, and as soon as the opponent rushes up, there will be holes in his defense, and the Bulls can only hope for offense, and Rose must step up.
The ball was issued, Zhou Xuan suddenly pressed in the frontcourt, ran past half of the court and came back to cover, and Matthews then pressed and blocked Rose in the backcourt. Rose is not a vegetarian either, and he accelerated past Matthews with a continuous crotch dribble and rushed to the three-point line, while Zhou Xuan had also bypassed Lore Deng's pursuit.
Rose hit another pick-and-roll, the Knicks defense shrank, Gallinari went inside, and Matthews ran to Korver. Matthews and Zhou Xuan had a good ability to switch positions, and Rose passed to Korver, but failed to create a chance, and the latter could only pass the ball again. Rose was entangled by Zhou Xuan, and the off-ball defense followed very strictly.
"The Knicks' defensive intensity has come up, the score is still two points away, and they have overwhelmed the Bulls in momentum." Yang Jian said.
Su Qun said: "Zhou Xuan's defensive enthusiasm is always very high, and he has rested for half a year, which has not affected his physical fitness. ”
After resting for a long time, people's physical fitness will decline, and Zhou Xuan's hard work has worked. Although he only started shooting in August, he has long been swimming at home, and he also went out for jogging with Chloe for rehabilitation, and his recovery is very good.
As the 24 seconds were running out, Boozer missed a mid-range shot and Stoudamire grabbed the rebound.
Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half, and Stadameyer came up before he could block it, and he suddenly passed the ball to Gallinari on the side. Then ran to the bottom line without the ball cover, Gallinari did not stop the ball, and relied on the height advantage to send the ball to the bottom line from the top of Korver's head to Zhou Xuan. The Knicks played the "Hawks offense."
The Bulls made the problem of Lore Deng switching defenses apparent. Deng hurriedly chased Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan did not pause when he received the ball, and half-turned around and gave his hands to the middle. Stoudeyer squeezed Rose away and stepped on the free throw line to catch the ball and make a pull-up jumper. 105 to 105. Zhou Xuan's 18th assist.
Su Qun shouted: "Zhou Xuan's assists today are probably 20, there is still time, he will definitely continue to lead the assist list after this game." ”
"The Bulls' defense is already good, if it is a weak team, we have reason to believe that Zhou Xuan can do better, he plays a very team." Yang Jian said.
"It's hard to say, if the opponent is too weak and the Knicks are much ahead, Zhou Xuan will reduce his playing time. If he plays more than 35 minutes per game, he may average 14 assists per game, which is the height of Stockton. ”
After a few passes to the Bulls, Rose blocked and dismantled on the right side and Boozer, cut three steps in the middle, jumped high, shrank in the air and pulled the rod to avoid the Stadamire block, and picked up the basketball with his left hand on the left side. 105 to 107.
Stadamier didn't cover it, there was physical contact with Rose in the air, and the referee blew the whistle for a foul. Rose hit a free throw to make it 2+1. 105 to 108.
Zhou Xuan brought to the front court and gestured to his teammates, this time stretching out three fingers. Stadameyer pulled it out, and before he could cover it, Zhou Xuan suddenly threw a cold arrow from the middle three points when Rose turned his head slightly to observe the position of the screener.
Rose hurriedly jumped up, but failed to cover it, Zhou Xuan didn't jump high, the ball arc was very flat, smashed the back edge of the basket and bounced in, and returned a three-pointer. 108 to 108. Zhou Xuan scored 16th points.
Unconsciously, he had scored 10 points and 5 assists in the final quarter, heading for a super stat of 20+20.
The Knicks didn't make any substitutions, and the interior continued to be paired with Stadamire and Anderson.
The Bulls attacked, Rose rushed inside on cover, and the Knicks formed a contraction. Rose jumped up and distributed the ball to the perimeter, Boozer came on the court and took the ball on the right side, Anderson pounced, Boozer shook it up and broke through the middle with the ball.

Su Qun said: "Zhou Xuan's defensive enthusiasm is always very high, and he has rested for half a year, which has not affected his physical fitness. ”
After resting for a long time, people's physical fitness will decline, and Zhou Xuan's hard work has worked. Although he only started shooting in August, he has long been swimming at home, and he also went out for jogging with Chloe for rehabilitation, and his recovery is very good.
As the 24 seconds were running out, Boozer missed a mid-range shot and Stoudamire grabbed the rebound.
Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half, and Stadameyer came up before he could block it, and he suddenly passed the ball to Gallinari on the side. Then ran to the bottom line without the ball cover, Gallinari did not stop the ball, and relied on the height advantage to send the ball to the bottom line from the top of Korver's head to Zhou Xuan. The Knicks played the "Hawks offense."
The Bulls made the problem of Lore Deng switching defenses apparent. Deng hurriedly chased Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan did not pause when he received the ball, and half-turned around and gave his hands to the middle. Stoudeyer squeezed Rose away and stepped on the free throw line to catch the ball and make a pull-up jumper. 105 to 105. Zhou Xuan's 18th assist.
Su Qun shouted: "Zhou Xuan's assists today are probably 20, there is still time, he will definitely continue to lead the assist list after this game." ”
"The Bulls' defense is already good, if it is a weak team, we have reason to believe that Zhou Xuan can do better, he plays a very team." Yang Jian said.
"It's hard to say, if the opponent is too weak and the Knicks are much ahead, Zhou Xuan will reduce his playing time. If he plays more than 35 minutes per game, he may average 14 assists per game, which is the height of Stockton. ”
After a few passes to the Bulls, Rose blocked and dismantled on the right side and Boozer, cut three steps in the middle, jumped high, shrank in the air and pulled the rod to avoid the Stadamire block, and picked up the basketball with his left hand on the left side. 105 to 107.
Stadamier didn't cover it, there was physical contact with Rose in the air, and the referee blew the whistle for a foul. Rose hit a free throw to make it 2+1. 105 to 108.
Zhou Xuan brought to the front court and gestured to his teammates, this time stretching out three fingers. Stadameyer pulled it out, and before he could cover it, Zhou Xuan suddenly threw a cold arrow from the middle three points when Rose turned his head slightly to observe the position of the screener.
Rose hurriedly jumped up, but failed to cover it, Zhou Xuan didn't jump high, the ball arc was very flat, smashed the back edge of the basket and bounced in, and returned a three-pointer. 108 to 108. Zhou Xuan scored 16th points.
Unconsciously, he had scored 10 points and 5 assists in the final quarter, heading for a super stat of 20+20.
