In the second half, the Knicks were firmly in the driver's seat, and the players were solid.

Some people are starting to think that Beasley is good. The coaching staff told him very clearly that he was desperate on the court, focusing on defense, and he would be replaced if he missed a few times.

This person's basketball IQ is still at the college level, and the offense is basically singles, and it mainly relies on dry pulls and turns. Zhou Xuan and Beasley played together, and the coaching staff arranged for Beasley to stand outside after blocking and dismantling, ready to catch the ball and shoot and return to defense. His tactical execution is very poor, and if he can't even execute this, he can only play the Chinese CBA.

Beasley played well with the Knicks because D'Antoni arranged the offensive tactics properly. If any team thinks he's great and gives him a multi-year contract this summer, then wait and get caught.

Zhou Xuan shot very little, only 7 times in the third quarter, hit 4 shots, plus 13 free throws and handed out 14 assists, which is the result of the Clippers' efforts to rely on the wheel to switch defense, forcing the Knicks players to shoot immediately without receiving Zhou Xuan's pass. But Zhou Xuan's pass to his teammates at close range after the breakthrough could not be prevented.

Jefferson, Bosh and Leonard received Zhou Xuan's pass several times and scored in the air. Parsons, on the other hand, watched his teammates' positions and responded from the perimeter.

The Knicks led by 16 points heading into the final quarter.

Zhou Xuan did not rest in the last quarter. D'Antoni is very cautious and does not give his opponent a chance to chase points, and if he leads too much, it is not too late to change Zhou Xuan. He played the full second half and 42 minutes was not a problem.

The Clippers, who were desperate to chase points, also did not replace Paul and Griffin, replaced Smith with Crawford, and played three guards with Redick.

Jordan Jr. is still the target of the void, and Beasley and Aldridge quickly made four fouls, and stopped the Clippers' fast break by cutting Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr.'s free throw shooting is as bad as in previous years, which is the Clippers' biggest weakness. Beasley was substituted after four fouls and the mission was done. In the Knicks, he doesn't have to cooperate with James to run, and the tasks are very simple.

The Clippers replaced Hawes, and Smith's less than 60 percent free throw percentage could also be cut.

As soon as he saw Hawes, Zhou Xuan came to the end, broke through the ball in a misplaced position, controlled the ball on the periphery to find his teammates, ran to the weak side, and couldn't stay under the basket at all.

No matter how many points Hawes scored on a jumper, the Knicks had a way to get it back on his head.

The Clippers have been refusing to give up and are struggling to catch up, and the Knicks, under the leadership of Zhou Xuan, have maintained their advantage until the end. At 126-112, the Knicks led 2-0 overall.

Zhou Xuan had 17 points, 3 rebounds, 21 assists and 1 steal, and once again won a big double-double, and 20+ assists in two consecutive games in the finals.

Jordan Jr. played badly again, with 5 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block. Always withdrawn from the inside, his rebounding count has also decreased.

The Knicks' roster list is relatively average, with Jefferson, Bosh, Parsons, Anderson, and Leonard also scoring in double figures.

Barkley said: "No one can compete with Zhou Xuan for MVP, and he has the fourth consecutive Finals MVP just around the corner. I wish the Clippers could cause some problems for the Knicks, but unfortunately they didn't. They are now also about to be swept away. It reminds me of the Lakers in the 2001 playoffs, where the Knicks were absolutely dominant. ”

"The Lakers lost to the 76ers that year, if the Clippers can't win a home court of their own," Smith said. Then the Knicks will win the championship with a winning record. ”

Barkley laughed: "Now everybody's thinking about that, not who wins. It was a truly tragic trip to the finals for Paul. ”

The news is full of articles praising the Knicks, no one criticizes Paul, he also played well with 18 points and 12 assists, which is about the same as the number of regular seasons, but he can't win against Zhou Xuan.

The Los Angeles media collectively condemned Jordan Jr., expressing disappointment that he couldn't practice free throws for so many years. He will be a free agent this season, and experts believe the Clippers should carefully consider whether to renew his contract and whether to poach other interior players in the free agency.

Hawes is only 27 years old, not very old, and he is much better on the offensive end except for blocks and rebounds. There were also those who put him in the starting line-up and kept Smith to strengthen the defense. Give up Jordan Jr., or sign and trade with other teams.

Because of his friend Zhou Xuan, Jordan Jr.'s shortcomings are all exposed in front of people, which will make the team that wants to give him a super high salary to think about it.

At this press conference, Zhou Xuan praised his teammates, saying that the team cooperated and did not evaluate the opponent. Fans don't think he's low-key, and many people think it's too lazy to evaluate.

The last two games will be played in Los Angeles, and there is a piece of news that makes the Clippers feel very unhappy. Several Hollywood stars took to Twitter to ask the Knicks if they would host a pie in Los Angeles if they won.

Or psychological warfare. The people who asked were Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Olsen sisters. This is Zhou Xuan calling them and saying that they all sent such a tweet to help the Knicks win the championship.

Sure enough, before the start of Game 3, the stars were optimistic about the Knicks, and the Clippers players would definitely receive this information unless they didn't watch TV or read the newspaper. Their mood is even more chaotic.

If the Knicks were to celebrate in Hollywood, it would be a big fire to think about. What's even more infuriating is that some people have even chosen a location to send duì, such as areas with more Chinese or Beverly Hills. Chinese fans support the Knicks to do this.

Paul and Griffin were disgusted by this. Barnes, who is not very good-tempered, now wants to take a gun to the hotel to kill Zhou Xuan. Without Zhou Xuan, they would definitely be able to beat the Knicks to win the championship.

The coaching staff led by Rivers tried their best to boost morale, but fans around the world almost abandoned them, just like the Bulls vs. Jazz back then, almost everyone supported Jordan.

Only Kobe Bryant's fans are still supporting the Clippers, and whoever beats the Knicks is their fan. It is also known as "deformation density". However, the number of people is only a fraction of the 6 billion at its peak.

The slogan shouted by the Clippers in the third game was to fight hard. The desperate result was a staggering number of fouls and a bigger defensive move than in the previous two. Smith was fouled by Jefferson and Bosh in 4 minutes and went down to rest.

The Clippers were forced to switch to Barnes. The Knicks used their joint defense to limit the Clippers' breakaway and Griffin's strong offense, and they shot from the outside again and again.

In the previous games, the Knicks were relatively strict in defense of the interior, but this time they changed their positions to strictly guard against the basket, and they relied on the wheel to switch positions on the periphery, which was aimed at the tactics of the Clippers. In the opening game, Rivers just wanted to force the interior to ensure efficiency. The inner line opens first, and then combines the inside and outside, inside and out.

The tactics were restrained, and Redick and Paul shot indiscriminately under the interference of the opponent, and fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Knicks changed formations, Anderson played directly at center, and Butler and Beasley formed a forward line. On the outside are Leonard and Gordon. This pure swingman lineup looks unreasonable, but it has suppressed the bench supply that the Clippers played well in the first two games.

Beasley plays center and is super mobile, and all five players can play fast breaks. HAWES IS A WELL-KNOWN SOFTIE, DESPITE BEING 216CM TALL, HE IS THE TYPE TO SHOOT FROM THE PERIMETER, AND HIS LOW POST OFFENSIVE EFFICIENCY IS NOT HIGH, AND ANDERSON CAN INTERFERE WITH HIS SHOTS. If Hoys's strong attack on the inside line is the mainstay, the advantages of Crawford and Famar on the periphery will not be able to be brought into play.

Butler played the No. 4 position, strengthened his defense against pick-and-roll offense, was amazingly mobile, and was better than Beasley when switching guards, which was inevitable. HE IS LIGHTWEIGHT, AND HE IS ONLY 201CM TALL.

The Clippers made up for the shortcomings by replacing Paul and Griffin in advance, and entered the all-attack lineup, with Jordan Jr. sitting on the bench. Rivers is already feeling helpless about Jordan Jr. Beasley and Butler fouled fiercely, and the team has reached 4 times, and Rivers did not dare to let him stay on the court.

Zhou Xuan and Bosh also returned to the court.

On the surface, the Knicks won the championship by attacking them, but in fact, their defense was not bad, and the three were selected to the All-Defensive Team. This is somewhat similar to the second bull to win three consecutive championships that year. While they guaranteed the offense, they didn't let their opponents do whatever they wanted.

In the second half, the Clippers finally found their shooting touch, hitting three pointers from the outside, and a wave of 17-4 narrowed the gap to just one point. When the home fans saw hope, Zhou Xuan still passed to the inside misplaced attack when his teammates missed consecutive shots. Finally, Jefferson drew Smith's fourth foul and he was substituted for a break.

The Clippers' small forward position weakened, and Barnes was let go after coming on the court, missing two consecutive shots.

Rivers wanted to strengthen the offense and play small-ball tactics, but there was another substitution error, and Tekoglu was sent to play the No. 4 position. Zhou Xuan immediately changed to pass the ball and went to the side to find cover, and received the ball and singled out Turkoglou.

The Turks' one-on-one defense is scum. Back then, he played in a team that lost Bosh's Raptors and didn't defend as a whole, and he shortened his playing time because of poor defense, and was traded back to the Magic after one season, and his ability can be imagined.

Zhou Xuan scored 4 points in a row. In order to prevent Zhou Xuan's singles, the Clippers let Griffin block and dismantle, and Turkoglu was responsible for the low post on one side. Zhou Xuan shook out a little space and began to feed the ball to the low position again.

Bosh's poor offensive ability in the low post is to play a strong inside, and he is not bad at all when he plays Turkogru, relying on his feet to quickly turn to the baseline and shoot strongly, scoring 4 points in a row. After Jordan Jr. went off the court, the Clippers were half a beat slow to make up the defense, and no one could help.

The Knicks returned a 12-2 run, and the margin widened to double digits.

Zhou Xuan did not rest in the last quarter and formed a double guard with Ellington. Ellington also had a poor execution of his tactics, so he didn't run at all, just drew the defense on the perimeter and was ready to catch the ball and shoot threes.

Zhou Xuan, Anderson, and Jefferson are the main forces of the offense. The small forward also brought on Parsons as the second playmaker. Parsons was used to seeing big scenes since entering the league, and he was full of confidence, and he hit a three-pointer against Crawford.

The Clippers replaced Smith a few minutes later to strengthen their defense, and Jordan Jr. also returned to the court to replace Hawes. This time, the Knicks didn't foul, but they let Jordan Jr. go, and only stopped it with a foul when he grabbed the rebound and prepared for a second offense.

The Clippers have few people to empty the interior line, and the offense is not smooth enough. In the final two minutes, the Clippers trailed by 15 points and couldn't catch up.
