When he came out, Zhou Xuan waved his hand around, still expressionless, and the expressions of the other players were also very strict. D'Antoni demanded that everyone be strict and not slack.

The game isn't over yet. Prepare for the best, prepare for the worst, and get the match point Knicks still don't forget to hit the opponent's confidence on the court. As long as the expression is strict, the first thought of the Clippers players must be that the opponent is not underestimated, and this time they will do their best to increase the pressure.

CCTV5 Yu Jia said: "The morale of the Knicks is high, and the new president Adam Silva has also arrived at the scene, and it is estimated that he is ready to present the awards." ”

"The Knicks are undoubtedly the strongest team this year, they only lost seven games in the whole season, which is the best record in a single season in history. ”

The Clippers practiced three points on the perimeter, and the feeling was average. Zhou Xuan didn't practice, silently observed the Clippers players warming up, observing who was more nervous and could relax the defense appropriately.

Barnes was clearly out of form and couldn't make a three-point mark. He's always been chasing championships, changing teams a record number of times, and this is the first time he's reached the finals, and he's one of the players he doesn't want to lose.

Turkoglu wasn't in good form either, and he got a lot of time in those games because it was the Turk's second time in the finals, but he was weaker than he was with the Magic. He represented the Magic team through the sweep in 2009 and is also Zhou Xuan's team. Now on the verge of elimination, he brings back bad memories and it is difficult to remain calm.

Although there is nothing unusual about Paul in his expression, he has a lot of negative comments, and it is impossible not to be affected at all. Some experts are very harsh, criticizing Griffin, but admitting that Griffin is the Clippers' No. 1 offensive point, and when the interior line can't be opened, Paul can't support the team's offense. Paul averaged 19 per game in the regular season this season. 4 points, his limit is almost this level.

Zhou Xuan scored high points in the first two games, proving that he can do a lot more than assists. The core comparison also put Paul under pressure.

Jordan Jr. was in the worst mood, and he was just watching his teammates shoot while he was practicing. No one expects him to attack, he gets the lowest rating, he's called "undercover," and the Clippers wouldn't be so passive if he had been a little on his free throws.

Everyone on the Clippers coaching staff was also frowning, and Rivers was a little worried, and Ryan Anderson hit several three-pointers in the warm-up, and he was in great shape, and he is likely to continue to start this game.

Sure enough, Anderson was in the starting lineup again. Knicks five: Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Leonard, Anderson, Bosh. Three-swing formation, so that the perimeter defense is the tightest.

Clippers five: Paul, Crawford, Barnes, Griffin, Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr. jumped the ball and the game began.

Leonard is responsible for the middle defense, Zhou Xuan and Crawford. This arrangement is very critical, Crawford likes to attack with the ball, rather than shooting when receiving the ball, and breaking through with the ball in the defensive frame is Zhou Xuan's strength.

Paul went to the front court to block and pick-and-roll, Bosh switched defenses, Griffin cut to the low post, and Anderson immediately stepped up.

Jordan Jr. wanted to make room for Griffin, so he pulled out to cover Crawford to block Zhou Xuan, and Matthews followed out and immediately changed guards.

As soon as Crawford received the basketball, he was caught by Zhou Xuan and Matthews, and Jordan Jr. was released. Crawford passes the ball to Jordan, who looks at the basket at 45 degrees and hesitates to wait for his teammates to run.

Paul ran out to catch the ball, Leonard followed, there was no space, Paul passed to Barnes again, who dropped the ball to Griffin in the low post and forced the attack, Bosh had already returned to the basket.

Griffin hit twice and forced a turnaround jump shot that missed. The rebound was grabbed by a retracted Anderson.

Jordan Jr. had an advantage, but he hesitated a little after seeing his teammates shoot, and did not immediately rush into the card position. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to grab it and be counterattacked by the Knicks, and the psychological impact appeared.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan faced Paul before the three-point line, Anderson blocked, Griffin changed defenses, Zhou Xuan quickly transferred the ball to the middle, Anderson took a step back, and shot after receiving the ball.

This step back distanced Paul, and it was also a step away from the basket, and today Anderson felt hot and the ball bounced into the frame. 3 to 0.

The Clippers attacked, Paul forced Leonard, Bosh packed, Paul passed the ball through the gap to Griffin, who ignored Anderson's defense and scored with a one-handed smash. 3 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan and Anderson blocked and dismantled, Paul did not chase the defense, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and broke through to 45 degrees with his left hand, and the ball was held in his left hand, attracting Griffin to take a small step forward, and the dribble under the crotch changed to 60 degrees, and the horizontal movement opened up the distance. In this position he can attract defenders and, if Paul chases, can cross to Anderson in the middle.

Paul didn't chase it, Zhou Xuan made a 60-degree step-back jumper to avoid the block, and the ball went into the net hollow. 5 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, Paul distributed the ball to Crawford in the middle, and the latter relied on the cover to face Bosh, Zhou Xuan and Bosh wrapped it, and once again let Jordan Jr. go, and it was the upper line of the pack, so that it was difficult to pass.

Crawford paused for the flank Barnes, who couldn't quickly move the ball to the low post for Griffin to play Anderson under Matthews' interference. Matthews is physically strong, won't be squeezed out of the way, and does a good job of raising his arms to interfere with passes.

The problems of the individual ability of the Clippers players have emerged, and one person is not strong enough to make up for it, but it is difficult to deal with two.

When Griffin received the ball, Bosh retracted and formed a bag with Anderson. Griffin was forced to pass the ball out of the perimeter again, and Barnes missed a three-pointer and felt cold.

Every shot counts, and it's that thought that makes Barnes lose his shooting rhythm and the whole series is a mess. Griffin snatched the rebound in the front court, fell into the bag again, and then distributed the perimeter to Paul, Zhou Xuan let go of Crawford's defense, cut off the basketball, jumped up the moment he rushed out of the sideline, and the ball was passed to Bosh, who held the basketball and stabilized the position.

Matthews was in the bottom corner, Anderson went to the right, Bosh blocked in the middle, Griffin changed defenses, Zhou Xuan broke through the horizontal frame on the left, held the ball in his right hand, and Paul didn't chase it.

Zhou Xuan dribbled to the bottom line and changed direction, Griffin followed sideways, and when he was about to reach the bottom line, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, circled around his waist, took two steps to the middle, jumped up but did not shoot, and passed the ball to the back with his right backhand.

Bosh squeezed Paul away, took a step forward from the free throw line to receive a pass from Zhou Xuan, and got a chance to shoot. In the team, the two often practice this trick, Zhou Xuan's running position is not to shake off the space to shoot, but to find the space to pass the ball, and also block the opponent's inside line.

Jordan Jr. didn't have time to make up on the right side, and Bosh scored from close range. 7 to 2, Zhou Xuan's second assist.

Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful pass, the Knicks are too tacit with the inside and outside, as long as the teammates run out of position, Zhou Xuan will definitely be able to pass." ”

Yu Jia said: "The Knicks are going to win the championship today, and the offensive efficiency is very high at the beginning, and the Clippers' offense is not so smooth. ”

Paul and Griffin blocked, Jordan Jr. covered on the side, and then cut to the inside, but Bosh still chose to block Crawford. Crawford took the ball and moved sideways and passed it to the little Jordan who cut in the air, at the moment when Little Jordan received the ball with his back, Zhou Xuan stood still to protect his crotch, his body tilted, Little Jordan hit him as soon as he turned around, his steps were not big, Zhou Xuan fell straight back, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.

Hit someone with the ball! Little Jordan had an innocent expression, he didn't use any force at all. But looking at the slow mirror, Zhou Xuan did stand still, but he didn't use any force in the lower plate, and his body was a little inclined and waiting for someone to hit him, so it was very exaggerated, and the referee saw it very clearly.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan brought to the frontcourt, everyone pulled away, Bosh covered Leonard on the left side, blocked Crawford, Jordan Jr. changed the defense, and Zhou Xuan gave it to Bosh who ran to the middle.

Bosh took the ball and turned around. Griffin returned to the defense, and Bosh didn't pass to the bottom corner, but directly hooked his right hand.

Griffin was about the same height as Bosh, but his arm span was miserable, and he couldn't block it, and Bosh scored with a hook ball from close range. 9 to 2, Zhou Xuan's third assist.

The Clippers attacked, and Paul's pull-up jump shot after blocking and dismantling was a bit rushed, which missed under Anderson's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Bosh again.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed to Leonard first, and then ran to the bottom corner of the right side without the ball in the middle, and the Hawks attacked. Leonard sent the ball over Barnes' head to the bottom corner, and Jordan Jr. switched defenses.

At this point, Bosh cut to the low post. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and jumped with his left hand to open a little distance with Little Jordan, and hoisted the ball to Bosh, Leonard turned to the bottom line and pressed Paul to hit the cricket ball with one hand! 11 to 2. Zhou Xuan had his fourth assist.

Anderson caught Griffin's attention in the bottom left corner, making it impossible to get back to the basket in time to make up the defense, and Matthews' mid-lane stance also attracted Barnes, and the court was full of misalignment.

If the big man leaves the basket, the Clippers can't stop the Knicks' strong attack, even if Jefferson doesn't play, Bosh has a clear height advantage in playing Paul and Crawford.

In the opening game, the Knicks hit five shots in a row, Rivers didn't call a timeout, he thought it was useless to call a timeout, and he had studied it for a day and didn't figure out how to completely defend the Knicks.

Changing formations is the difference between the loss of the inside line and the loss of the outside line. After discussion, today's Clippers defense outside line is tight, and the basket can't withstand it. Jordan Jr. was withdrawn, and his blocking ability could not be played. The outside height is at a disadvantage, Zhou Xuan is not the main attacker, and it is uncomfortable to play the Clippers directly.

Just over two minutes into the game, Rivers already knew they were going to lose. The main thing is that there is no way to take Zhou Xuan, what surprises him is that even he, a bystander, has a field of vision that is not as wide as Zhou Xuan, and he can't keep up with his passing many times.

The home fans cheered wildly, putting pressure on the Clippers players.

With the score behind, Paul was thinking hard about how to save the disadvantage, and Jordan Jr. and Barnes were already starting to despair.
