After hitting the beautiful whistle ball, Zhou Xuan's data was just 10 points and 10 assists, and he scored a double-double in a single quarter.

There are fans chanting "MVP" outside the stadium! In the seventh game of joining the Knicks, Zhou Xuan heard the call symbolizing the highest honor. It's been a long time since Madison Square Garden has been so lively, and the last time was back in the days of Ewing, Houston, and Sprewell's trident.

Yu Jia said excitedly: "Before the start of the season, many people questioned Zhou Xuan's state, thinking that he was injured and rested for too long and could not play well, and now he has played even more amazing statistics than last season." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "With Stodameyere by his side, he has more assists, and I think they can be called the strongest blocking and pick-and-roll combination in the league." ”

There is some truth to this. Looking at the league, the more famous blocking and pick-and-roll combination is Chris? Paul, David? West, Delong? Williams, Carlos? Boozer. Now the Hornets have not made the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and Deron and Boozer have also broken up. Deron and Jefferson don't play well in blocking, Jefferson is slow and prefers to receive the ball in the low post and attack. The other strong teams, the Lakers, are triangular offense, and the Spurs are inside and outside. Today, the Warriors were suppressed again, and no team showed more blocking and pick-and-roll ability than the Knicks.

In the second quarter, both sides made a number of substitutions, with the Warriors five Turiaf, David Lee, Garcia, Ellis, and Jeremy Lin.

The Knicks were replaced by Pekovic, Anderson, Fields, Matthews, and Douglas.

There are more people available on the outside of the Knicks. Although Beverley and Stephenson are in the squad, they have not played for the time being, and Matthews rested for a while in the first quarter, so Azubuke also has no chance to play.

Fields was a rookie handpicked by D'Antoni and was heavily used. At the end of the season, Azubuk is a complete free agent, which is a bit of a disadvantage for him. Zhou Xuan could tell that he couldn't sit still on the bench. As a friend who has known each other for more than two years, he doesn't know how to help, can he let the uniform team trade Fields? Now the Knicks No. 2 and No. 3 positions are overcrowded, and the experienced Mason has no chance to play.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Chinese player Jeremy Lin is on the list, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to play against Zhou Xuan. ”

Yu Jia smiled: "He is a rookie who was undrafted, and the Warriors may have introduced him to appease the Chinese market." Although sending Zhou Xuan away brought two good players, none of the Chinese fans were satisfied. ”

Now that Jeremy Lin has arrived at the Warriors, he still can't satisfy the Chinese fans, and his level is much worse than Zhou Xuan.

Douglas played as a point guard, but he was entangled by Ellis, struggled to dribble through the half, and his two shots ended in iron. D'Antoni now understands why Zhou Xuan suggested putting Beverley in the squad, Ellis's defensive ability has always been underrated, he just can't prevent misalignment, the lateral speed is amazing, and the defensive guard breaks through greatly.

The Warriors have no shortage of guards, and there is veteran Charlie sitting on the bench? Bel. At the small forward position, Fields was also entangled by Garcia. Inside Turiaf and Wright partnered, one with power and one with great mobility, just right for the Knicks' lineup. The bench offense was unfavorable, and only Matthews relied on his physical advantage to single Jeremy Lin with three consecutive goals to bite the score.

The hapless Jeremy Lin was put in the No. 2 position against the muscle stick, and it was Ellis who controlled the ball. Jeremy Lin played three minutes, didn't defend well, didn't get a shot on the offensive end, only showed a steal on Pekovic's pass to the outside, and handed out an assist, he was replaced early, and Curry returned to the court.

The Knicks continued to use the bench to compete with the opponent, and there were gaps in the defense, and Garcia hit a three-point shot to overtake the score.

After two more minutes, Ellis came off the break and was replaced by Reggie? Williams. Williams joined the NBA with a non-draft pick, but his strength was not bad, and he scored five points in a row after playing the game, widening the difference.

In the 2009-2010 season, Williams stood out in the NBDL, averaging 26 minutes per game in 31 games. 4 points 5. 5 rebounds 3. 2 assists 1. He led the scoring charts with 5 steals and shot 58 percent from the field and 41 percent from three-point range. On March 2, 2010, Williams was offered a 10-day contract by the Golden State Warriors as Garcia's replacement. He played so well that he was offered a guaranteed contract to stay with the Warriors after the season and has become an important rotation player.

Douglas is too bad today, as long as he passes the ball to him, he will play randomly, and look at this situation to prevent Zhou Xuan and Stoudeyer from dying together. D'Antoni felt helpless and had to replace him with Beverley.

Beverley was very excited when he came on the court, guarded Curry tightly, and followed very closely. Zhou Xuan went to defend Williams, and the pressure was reduced a lot. And Beverley didn't play randomly, dribbling the ball over half court to pass the ball to Zhou Xuan, then running on the perimeter to look for opportunities, and two minutes later received the pass and threw three points on the right side. The experience in Europe has taught him how to play team basketball well.

Beverley wants to get a foothold in the NBA, and when he gets a chance to play, he's going to have to give it his all. Sideline assistant coach Malone was very satisfied with Beverley's defense and said with a smile: "It seems that our back line is not weak, Patrick moves fast enough, defends well and can chase quickly after being blocked." ”

D'Antoni whispered to No. 1 assistant coach Woodson. "Do you think you can give him more time in the future?"

"It's perfectly fine to play as a two-back. He's the fastest guy on the team. Woodson was also satisfied, believing that Beverley was no worse than Douglas.

D'Antoni cares about the opinions of the two assistant coaches. Woodson wasn't a simple figure either, he studied under Larry? Brown, not only has a deep understanding of the team's defense, but also passed on his successful defensive experience to his own players during his tenure as coach of the Hawks, leading the Hawks out of trouble and becoming a strong team in the East again. Hawks management crossed the river and demolished the bridge, allowing the Knicks to pick up the bargain. Together, Woodson and Malone revamped the team's defense, and it's starting to pay off.

Beverley is active defensively, has a lot of small movements, and is a rookie who is not liked by the referee. He quickly committed three fouls, but he also managed to block the opponent's offense, and after the mismatch, he didn't let Randolph shoot easily, and his courage was recognized by the coaching staff, and the point guard bench was no longer a problem.

Zhou Xuan is also very optimistic about Beverley, the team's offense is impeccable, and what needs to be strengthened is defense. At halftime, the Knicks took a narrow 67-66 lead.

At halftime, Barkley exclaimed: "I guess no one would have imagined before the season that the Knicks, who were at the bottom of the East last season, could compete with the Western giants." ”

Smith said: "The Knicks' starters were rested, and the Warriors mainly relied on Curry and Ellis on the periphery, and the rest of the people had limited playing time. Chinese player Jeremy Lin didn't do much, and his offense and defense were poor. The Warriors brought in Bell mainly because of his expiring contract and would not give him much playing time. The Warriors seem to have a lot of benches, but only Reggie can rotate? Williams. ”

The Warriors sent Margeti away in the summer in exchange for Bale and Gazuric in order to clear salary space. Margeti's annual salary of 10 million will not expire until 13 years. However, as a result, the Warriors front line has no one who can attack with the ball, and the breakthrough depends on two guards. They play a lot of minutes, it doesn't matter at the beginning of the season, but in the late stages it may be a big problem.

CCTV5 commentators are more concerned about Zhou Xuan's data, and the score can't be opened, which means that Zhou Xuan can play longer, and they are a little happy about it.

Zhang said: "Zhou Xuan's performance in the second quarter was average, mainly passing the ball to Stadamire and Pekovic on the inside, and only got 2 points and 3 assists. ”

Yu Jia said: "It is estimated that today's Double 20 is still possible. Pekovic's low-post strong attack, dribbling with two steps and Zhou Xuan's assist is gone, but his efficiency is not low, and the nickname 'White Bear' is quite appropriate. Turiaf, he couldn't defend against Randolph, and Randolph fought against Howard in the 2009 Finals. ”

Zhang said with a smile: "If you only look at the lethality and power of the low post, Pekovic is definitely better than Howard, but his role is too simple, and the defensive end is too slow." ”

D'Antoni also felt that Pekovic's mobility was too poor, so he replaced him in the third quarter and replaced him with Evans again. Unable to gain an advantage in the half-time struggle, he wanted to give the defensive lineup a try and partner with Stadameyer. Outside Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Gallinari.

The starters couldn't compete for Zhou Xuan and Matthews, and Beverley also took up some playing time in the second quarter, which put a lot of pressure on Douglas, and the Knicks were more competitive on the outside than last season.

The Warriors also know that they can't attack all the time, but Smart is not like D'Antoni who can make substitutions at will, and the four big names inside and outside, if they only play for 20 minutes, let Turyaf, Armondson and other defensive players play, it is unreasonable. If you lose, you will be responsible. And the Warriors don't have a playmaker like Zhou Xuan, and the defensive players are on, and it is difficult to play a role on the offensive end.

The Knicks still focus on the blocking of Stadamire and Zhou Xuan, with two shooters on the perimeter, and Evans is ready to grab rebounds at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. The Warriors' three-pointers were limited, and the third quarter was dominated by interior players. Randolph and David Lee both had good performances, and their post-misplaced jumpers also ensured a high shooting percentage. Zhou Xuan is afraid of tall jump shots, and his defensive characteristics can't be brought into play.

The two strong men of the Warriors blocked the inside line and blocked the breakthrough very poorly, so the Knicks made a fuss about the outside shooting. Zhou Xuan made 1 of 3 three-pointers, broke through to make two free throws in the counterattack, and assisted his teammates to shoot and score several times, with 5 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

He had 17 points and 17 assists in the third quarter, one step closer to double 20. Stoudeyer was also brave, scoring 24 points, but he was not as good as the Warriors in rebounding, with only four in the third quarter.

Evans was a big contributor to the Knicks today, playing 13 minutes and scoring 11 rebounds and scoring six points, before being replaced until the Warriors fouled him four times and began to foul him.

The Knicks continued to lead 96-92.
