Su Qun said excitedly: "Just at the beginning, Zhou Xuan created a miracle, I think this can be described as a miracle." At 3:36, the team scored 17 points and handed out seven assists. ”

Yang Jian said: "The most amazing thing is that he looks very slow, and he assists his teammates to score easily in misposition. The dunk and three-pointer to Bosh were especially exciting. If the Rockets don't make adjustments, I don't know how many assists he has delivered in one shot, and he could probably break the NBA's all-time single-quarter assist record today. ”

The NBA record for assists in a single quarter is held by the Spurs' John Lucas, who dished out 14 assists in a quarter against the Nuggets on April 15, 1984. Zhou Xuan once had a horror table of 13 assists in a single quarter, which was a little close.

McHale asked the players to defend together, Howard guarded the basket, and relied on the perimeter to switch positions, and could not lightly let the opponent into the low post and attack. Replaced by a person, Ci Shiping came on and replaced Jery Buko. Considering that Leonard rarely attacks mainly, he replaced Ci Shiping to enhance the outside firepower. He played a major role in the Lakers' playoff run last season, saving the team with multiple three-pointers and shooting nearly 40 percent from the field.

The Knicks didn't make substitutions, and D'Antoni didn't emphasize tactics, just let Zhou Xuan guard the high post, and if Howard blocked and dismantled high, he would trap Harden.

The game continued, with Harden and Jones blocking high posts. In the face of Bosh, Harden took a European step, which didn't seem to be fast, but walked to the basket like a leisurely stroll and scored a layup. The so-called European step is a stealing step technique, and the referee generally does not blow it when it is coherent. 17 to 12.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan brought to the frontcourt, and Beverley stepped up the pressing. Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to break through, protected the basketball with his back, waited for Bosh to come up to cover, and then got rid of it.

Jefferson also went to cover on the perimeter, and Harden chased after Matthews. Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the left side at 45 degrees, and Howard did not defend it according to the arrangement, defended the penalty area, and let Jefferson two steps away.

Jefferson scored a one-step catch-and-shoot jumper inside the three-point line, and Zhou Xuan's eighth assist was very easy. 19 to 12.

TNT radio live seat, Barkley smiled: "I can't believe that Howard actually didn't go out, put two steps away he thought it was an anti-monster?" Jefferson wasn't that wasteful. ”

Howard can indeed be put two steps away, and as a supergiant who can be let off by his opponent on the perimeter, Howard has always been very different.

The Rockets blocked the side of the pick-and-roll, and this time Harden passed an anti-drop ball to Howard, and Matthews hugged Howard in time and didn't let him jump.

Howard didn't catch the ball, so this time he didn't go to the free throw line, and the Rockets went out of bounds. Harden received the ball and broke through, jumped to the basket, and was caught by Matthews and Bosh. He jumped up and passed the ball outside, and Zhou Xuan let go of Beverley and wrapped up Ci Shiping on the baseline.

This was a bit of a surprise. Ci Shiping is no longer the kind of star who needs to be packed. He was forced into the bottom corner, couldn't pass the ball, squeezed twice, didn't get the ball right, and was poked down by Leonard. Zhou Xuan didn't attack quickly when he picked up the basketball, and stabilized the situation.

The more Howard doesn't want to get out of the box, the more the Knicks have to pull him out. Jefferson got to the left 45 degrees, a step inside the three-point line to cover, and this time Harden chased it into place. Zhou Xuan passed the ball after blocking and Bosh in the middle, Beverley couldn't block it, and Bosh missed the jumper. It was the first shot the Knicks missed, and the chances were good.

The Rockets attacked, Howard received the ball after a side block, and Jefferson fouled him and pulled him to the free throw line. Howard hit one of two free throws again. 19 to 13.

The Knicks made a substitution, with Jefferson on the two-foul go down and Anderson on the line. Durham Porter continued to sit on the bench, which showed the Knicks' determination to attack. As soon as Anderson was on the line, the evacuation range was even greater.

The Knicks changed their strategy, Anderson blocked the middle and Bosh settled directly in the bottom corner.

Zhou Xuan broke through on the left side, pulled the ball up in one step and took a step to the middle, and then walked to the left, Jones often saw Harden break through like this in the team, and the correct judgment followed on the side. However, Zhou Xuan's third move was different, and when Jones came up close to him, he suddenly jumped up, hit Jones, and threw the ball from the back of his head to the bottom corner with his left backhand.

The throw was sudden, and Howard was ready to grab the rebound, not at Bosh. Boshdi caught the ball in the corner, adjusted it a little, and made a three-point shot. Howard turned around and tried to block again, but he just stretched out his hand.

Bosh, who was well prepared, hit his second three-pointer of the game to make it 22-13. Zhou Xuan had the ninth assist.

McHale stood on the sidelines with his hands over his head, his expression very exciting.

The Rockets attacked, and Howard reached for the ball in the low post on the left side, and his style of play was monotonous. Bosh was spurred on by consecutive scoring, and he had already scored a double-double in the first quarter, and he wanted to return one.

Ci Shiping hoisted the ball in. Howard squeezed his back twice, his right shoulder swayed, and he turned around and hooked his hand in the middle. Bosh interfered very well and shot wide. Howard rushed to grab the rebound in the front court and attacked it twice, and Bosh fouled.

Howard was more accurate this time, hitting both free throws. 22 to 15.

The Knicks attacked, and both interior lines were pulled out. Bosh blocked Beverley in the middle, and Zhou Xuan drew Howard to defend and crossed the ball into the middle. Several people are on the periphery, and if Howard doesn't come out, he has to guard against Leonard, as long as a line run is enough for him, at this time the Rockets have changed to human marking, and they can't continue to defend together.

Bosh squeezed Beverley to get the ball, made a jumper, and the ball bounced into the frame, 24-15. Zhou Xuan won two pairs.

This bosh feels great. He has been playing for three years with the Heat, and now he can finally play as much as he did when he was with the Raptors. He plays more comfortably, and Zhou Xuan is better at organization than Calderon.

There are 6 minutes left in the first quarter to end, and the Knicks are likely to be 50+ in a single quarter. McHale didn't call a timeout, just rushed to the field and shouted to pull away.

McHale wants to focus on offense from the perimeter, and only three-point shots can win. If Howard is given a low-post single, although he can cause damage, he is not accurate in free throws, and the Knicks can play a lot of interior lines, not afraid of fouls, and the efficiency is too low.

Harden singled out Matthews on the perimeter, dribbled for a while and didn't get into the three-point line, and saw Ci Shiping coming back from the right side, and Harden passed. Ci Shiping received the ball and grabbed a three-point shot under Anderson's interference, the choice was unreasonable, and the shot was missed. Howard rushed to grab the rebound, the ball bounced a little far, and was picked up by Leonard.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan took it to the frontcourt, took a step outside the three-point line in the middle, and suddenly pulled out his hand. Beverly let him go more than a step away. During this time, Zhou Xuan has been passing the ball and has not shot. At this moment, Beverly was thinking about how to prevent misalignment, and his reaction was half a beat slower.

Zhou Xuan's shooting arc is very good, hollow into the net. 27 to 15, 3 points for individuals.

Harden wanted to return one, but he broke into the interior by covering in the middle and forced a layup wide under Bosh's interference. The rebound was taken by Anderson.

The Knicks went down quickly, Zhou Xuan got rid of Jones to catch the ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Leonard quickly threw off Ci Shiping. Beverley's follow-up to Matthews itself is also misplaced.

Zhou Xuan passed to Leonard on the right side, who received the ball and scored on the basketball. 29-15, Zhou Xuan's 11th assist.

Although there was space, Leonard didn't dare to dunk, he was worried that the neuropathy behind him would get a malicious foul, so he directly abolished him. It's not that Ci Shiping can't do this kind of thing.

After Ci Shiping was laid off by the Lakers this holiday, he has been relaxing, playing on vacation, and he is in a very bad state. Three-point shooting was reduced to 31 percent and 39 two-pointers. 5% and only 63% of the free throws. He's almost ready to retire at the end of the season. McHale made a tactical mistake and treated him like a former beast. Now he can only run back and forth.

The Rockets attacked, Harden took two shots, and in the face of Zhou Xuan, he suddenly had another dry pull in the middle, Zhou Xuan didn't cover it, and the ball was deflected. Whenever he sees Harden, Zhou Xuan will think of another bearded Davis, who is also playing this way, and he often can't pull it in.

Zhou Xuan retreated to get the ball, the position was organized, the middle and Anderson blocked and dismantled, and the side Bosh helped Matthews block Harden. Jones switched to Matthews, and Bosh cut inside again. Howard chose to go back to the inside, Beverley chased after Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan didn't force the shot, moving the ball to the middle. Anderson catches the ball and shoots from outside the three-point line. Ci Shiping let go of Leonard's side to make up the defense, the speed was as slow as the inside line, and the ball went into the net hollow. 32 to 15. Zhou Xuan's 12th assist.

The Rockets asked for another timeout, and McHale thought to himself that it would be useless to keep the timeout, and the winner would be decided without adjusting the halftime. The first thing he did was to replace Ci Shiping and replace Garcia.

The Knicks also made substitutions. Bredsoe came on and replaced Matthews, and Parsons came on and replaced Leonard to add a big man pitcher. Grabbing the rebound in the backcourt, Parsons can also launch a counterattack with a pass, and the two guards can go down quickly.

The Knicks lowered their height and increased their speed, which also gave Harden hope, and he faced Zhou Xuan with another three-point pull, this time in. 32 to 18.

The Knicks missed the offense, Howard grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked, and Garcia misplaced and missed the shot against Bledsoe. At this point, the Rockets' guard deficiencies are revealed, and neither Beverley nor Harden are good at controlling the rhythm of the position, and they almost made the playoffs last season by relying on fast-break chaos.

On the other hand, the Knicks can also run and shoot. Parsons passed to Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan changed direction in the run past Harden and dribbled to the left basket, attracting Garcia to jump up and shrink back to Bredsoe from close range, who scored on a layup. 34 to 18. Zhou Xuan's 13th assist.

Harden stopped after being passed by Zhou Xuan, staring at Bledsoe and Zhou Xuan cooperating to score a dozen or two, and his defensive attitude made people anxious.

The Rockets' offense got faster and faster, Jones scored on a dunk, and Harden made a layup and made both free throws. A minute later, the Knicks fought back again, this time Zhou Xuan drew the defense to Parsons after passing Harden, and Gao Fushuai scored with a mid-range shot from the left. 14th assist. 36 to 22.

The fans stood up and chanted MVP, but then the Knicks were on fire and scored two points from Bledsoe's free throws in three minutes.

39 seconds later, Howard missed a single with his back, Anderson grabbed the rebound and threw it to the frontcourt, and Parsons passed to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan took the ball on the right side and approached Harden with a big stride and turned around, but he didn't shoot under the basket, attracting Beverley to block and throw the ball to the rebound, bounce to the other side, Bredsoe jumped high and made a basket.

This is obviously a pass, but also counting assists, Zhou Xuan had 15 assists in a single quarter, setting an incredible record! On the final offense, he played to Bosh, who missed the jump shot and wasted the opportunity, but the crowd was satisfied.

The Knicks ended the first quarter 40-28.
