Chapter 567 [Throw the opponent to death!] 】
Although the Knicks lost home-court advantage, Yao Ming's Mavericks defeated the defending champion Lakers on the road, for which Chinese fans were very happy.
It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't win the championship in the Cavaliers, but this year he has a chance to win the championship again.
It rained heavily in New York, and the gloomy weather didn't diminish the enthusiasm of the fans in the slightest, and Madison Garden was full. The Knicks' entry into the playoffs also stimulated consumption in New York, especially the lively Chinese area, where many people watched the game together at night in every restaurant and bar, and Zhou Xuan was a national hero in their minds.
The game times of the two teams are staggered, and CCTV5 broadcasts them live, allowing the audience to feast their eyes.
TNT Radio broadcasts the game live in New York. Barkley said before the game: "The Celtics have won one game by luck, and this Knicks will definitely make adjustments, and I fancy them to win at home." ”
Smith said: "The Celtics are also very strong, and the Knicks may not be able to win, right? ”
"Zhou Xuan is stronger than Rondo, if he has a stronger desire to attack, I don't think the Celtics can defend it." Barkley paused for a moment and said: "Of course you have to take risks to change your style of play, unless you win, someone will say that he is too alone." ”
Smith laughed: "If he wasn't alone, there would be people who wouldn't dare to take responsibility, like LeBron." ”
Barkley smiled: "Yes, LeBron averages close to 30 points per game, and he scores first in the league in the final quarter, and some fans still say that he is not resolute in attacking, and he disappears in the last quarter, Zhou Xuan wants to be highly evaluated, and he must change his style of play." ”
ESPN's famous basketball expert Chris? Palmer stats point out that James has averaged seven points in the final quarter of the season. 8 points, the most in the league. Knicks star Cameron? Anthony was No. 2, and Durant and Kobe were No. 3 and No. 4.
Usually people think that Kobe Bryant is Mr. Key in the last quarter, but in fact this is because Kobe Bryant made too many last shots. 41。 The 7% shooting rate was lower than in the first three quarters and was more like the key to the opponent's victory. In comparison, Durant was 49 in the final quarter. An 8% hit rate is prettier, and he's the real key man. Zhou Xuan's shooting percentage is not low, but his average score in the final quarter ranks eighth in the league, which is an important basis for testing stars.
The Knicks played five players, Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Gallinari, Anderson, and Stoudamire.
Matthews is not a simple shooter, but after arriving at the Knicks, he has fewer offensive opportunities with the ball, and when he is on the fast break, he is better than Redick. He also shot 40 from three-point range. 6%, and the defensive role is key, which can not only defend against the technical player Ray Allen, but also have enough strength to resist Pierce.
The Celtics started unchanged. Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, O'Neal Jr.
Stadameyer jumped the ball to win Garnett, the Knicks attacked first, Zhou Xuan and Stodameyer blocked and dismantled the left side, Gallinari made a second cover, Zhou Xuan relied on speed to rush to the bottom line, and Pierce changed defenses.
Zhou Xuan held the ball in his right hand and approached with his left hand, Pierce rushed forward to prepare to block, Zhou Xuan made a "worship Buddha" feint, changing direction to break through from the bottom line, this ball is very subtle, and it is easy to step on the bottom line out of bounds if you are not careful, so Pierce defended the middle of the road. O'Neal Jr. let go of Anderson to make up the defense, and Zhou Xuan jumped out when he was about to reach the basket, and sent the ball to the bottom corner with both hands.
The players pulled all the way away, and Anderson got a big open spot and hit a solid three-pointer. 3 to 0.
Zhou Xuan clapped his hands with Anderson when he returned to defense, and the withdrawal tactics played a role in the first round, and the inside line was pulled out, and O'Neal Jr. was not good at making up for the defense.
The Celtics attacked, and Zhou Xuan let Rondo go two steps away, observing the side with his peripheral vision, ready to dodge the cover and retreat to break through.
Rondo dribbled back and forth with no one on the perimeter, looking for a moment to pass the ball. Barkley laughed: "If you let Rondo be on the Knicks, D'Antoni might go crazy." ”
"Rondo has improved his shooting this year, but he hasn't been tough enough to shoot, and he's okay with this opportunity," Smith said. ”
Rondo passed to Pierce for a single, who turned and missed a jumper, and Anderson took the rebound in the backcourt. The Celtics' rebounding ability is also among the bottom five in the league.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan blocked and Stadamire on the periphery, Garnett defended it, Rondo wrapped it, Zhou Xuan gave the ball to Gallinari on the right side, and then ran to the bottom corner of the right side by relying on the off-ball cover. Stadamire stood in the middle and didn't cut in the air, blocking Rondo.
At this time, Gallinari had two choices, pass to Xiao Si or Zhou Xuan. The misplaced little Sta Rondo has an advantage, and if Garnett doesn't chase Zhou Xuan, the bottom line will be empty.
Garnett could only chase Zhou Xuan, Gallinari still passed the ball to Zhou Xuan, his teammates trusted him the most, Zhou Xuan took the ball and turned around in one step, and observed Rondo's running position with his eyes, if he was clamped, he would cross the middle.
Rondo didn't come up, Zhou Xuan took the ball back in the face of Garnett, and then dribbled under his crotch six times in a row and moved a step forward.
Although he is not a person, his actions always make the fans very excited, especially fancy. He took a step to the right with the ball, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, Garnett followed him and shifted his center of gravity to the right a little, Zhou Xuan immediately dribbled the ball to his right hand behind his back, rushed past Garnett, and successfully broke through the bottom line.
O'Neal Jr. didn't make up for the defense this time, and Zhou Xuan jumped up after breaking through and scored in basketball. 5 to 0. It is generally difficult to catch up when passed, but Garnett turned quickly, his size and arm span were terrifying, and Zhou Xuan used a high-hitting board layup.
Zhang Reasonable smiled: "Zhou Xuan just opened the game and scored past Garnett, and the loss in the last game seems to make him very unhappy, this fight is over." ”
Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan's ball can actually be deducted. Recently, Pepsi released an ad that was widely circulated on the Internet and had a record-breaking number of views. In the advertisement, he clasped one with both hands, and the bounce was not bad. ”
Zhang Li said with a smile: "NBA players can basically dunk except for Nash. You mean the one who disguises himself as an old man to play basketball, right? Very interesting. ”
When the two commentators were off track, the Celtics completed an offense, and Garnett misplaced Zhou Xuan hit a jumper. 5 to 2.

But it wasn't a good idea, Garnett didn't come up on guard, Zhou Xuan easily found the passing space, and his vision would not be blocked, so he turned around and handed it to Gallinari.
The Italian, who had a height advantage, distanced himself from Pierce, ignored Rondo's interference and made a jumper. 8 to 2. Zhou Xuan's second personal assist was all three-pointers.
Rivers shouted at the players on the sidelines to change positions, he knew that he could no longer wrap up Zhou Xuan at will, Gallinari and Anderson, two big man pitchers, were difficult to defend by turning, and the distance was too far to cover.
The Celtics attacked, after a few passes, O'Neal Jr. singled Anderson inside, turned around and missed the jumper, the rebound was grabbed by Pierce, and the pass was organized again, Garnett singled out Smalls in the low post, and turned around and didn't score.
Garnett can't squeeze out of Xiaosi, after all, the latter is young and strong, and Garnett has left jump shots in the past two years. Anderson grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhou Xuan.
To the frontcourt, Anderson and Zhou Xuan blocked again, Pierce changed defenses, Zhou Xuan went to the right side, and Rondo did not chase the defense to wrap up. Zhou Xuan held the ball in his right hand and moved closer with his left hand, but Pierce did not move.
Zhou Xuan's right hand changed direction with his left hand, and he took a small step with his left shoulder, this time Pierce moved horizontally to keep up with Zhou Xuan, and as soon as his right foot landed, Zhou Xuan's left hand dribbled under the crotch and handed it to his right hand, making a "killer crossover" breakthrough successfully, one step forward in the penalty area, a 45-degree jump shot, and a wipe board hit. 10 to 2. Individual fourth point.
"The Celtics were caught off guard by this wave of Knicks' attack, and Zhou Xuan should play like this, breaking through the ball or shooting it himself." Barkley excited.
Dude, the tendencies of your explanation are too obvious. Smith couldn't remind him, just the field. "Celtic have always been very tight defensively, maybe there will be adjustments in a while."
The Celtics attacked, and Relaren ran away without the ball at the baseline. If Pekovic was on the inside, the ball might not be able to keep up, but Anderson defended it, and Ray Allen received the ball and shook a shot to break through to the inside, and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 10 to 4.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan went to the top of the arc in the front court, held the ball in his right hand, and moved closer with his left hand, Rondo took a small step forward, Zhou Xuan used "worship Buddha", Rondo followed, blocking Zhou Xuan's breakthrough with his legs.
If it is an ordinary speed defender, it may be passed, but Rondo is faster than Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan has his back to protect the ball, and when he turns, he has already observed the position of his teammates, his left shoulder is swaying, and he turns to his right side.
Rondo tried to keep up and ran into Stadamier on one side.
Zhou Xuan took the ball and rushed to the bottom line and faced Garnett. He dribbled back with two crotches, Stoudamire cut in the middle, Zhou Xuan saw the opportunity, held the ball in his left hand, and approached with his right hand.

After the goal, he held one hand high and enjoyed the cheers of the fans. Coach Rivers asked for a timeout, and he saw that Zhou Xuan felt too good today, and if he didn't stop again, he was afraid that something would happen.
Zhou Xuan deliberately practiced three-point shooting in the morning, and he was in good shape, his goal was very clear, that is, to shoot the opponent to death, and to attract the bag clamp to pass the ball only when there was an obvious opportunity.
He's going to blow up Rondo!
