Chapter 600 [They're Young]

With the score behind, the New York fans still supported the home team and gathered outside the arena early.

The reporter interviewed the fans. A middle-aged white fan with a big belly said, "My family and I love the Knicks right now. They are different from what they used to be, and I see the spirit of hard work in them. In the past, it was easy for them to give up, but now that they are 3-1 down, I think there is hope for a comeback. ”

A female fan said: "I support Zhou Xuan, he is very attractive. ”

A schoolboy wearing the number 99 fan said: "I want to be as good as him when I grow up." ”

A Chinese student fan said: "Even if the Knicks lose this year, I believe they will win the championship in the future, because Zhou Xuan is here." ”

In the last game, Zhou Xuan scored 24 points and 10 assists and didn't grab the rebound, but that was not his job. Statistically, he's still the prettiest on the Knicks, with outstanding performances in every game.

If you work hard and work hard, the fans will not be disappointed. It doesn't matter if you don't have the strength, the important thing is to do your best. It's something that the Knicks lacked before.

This game broke the record for finals ratings in the past 10 years, David? Stern was delighted. The championship has not yet been decided, and the Knicks have already given him too many surprises.

Some Mavericks fans rushed to New York to watch the game, but their momentum was like raindrops falling into the sea, unable to set off a trace of wind and waves.

There were also celebrity fans who came to watch the game, not only New Yorkers, but also people from Hollywood and all over the world, and it was a grand event and an opportunity to increase exposure. Chinese female stars were also present, and as for whether they really understand basketball, only they know the way.

When he played, Zhou Xuan was at the back of the line, high-fived his teammates one by one, and the fans applauded together, and he didn't quiet down until he started to warm up.

Stern asked the people around him, "Adam, what do you think?" ”

Vice President Adam? Silva lifted his glasses and smiled: "I have a feeling that even if Zhou Xuan loses, the MVP should be awarded to him, otherwise it will not be satisfactory." ”

Stern whispered, "yes, it's only been three years, and he's changed so much that he's broken through all doubts." At that time, there were still many people who thought that the MVP should be given to Randolph. Now people are starting to say that Randolph is a cancer, and the Warriors have all become cancers. It is very painful to be able to make a person who doesn't like him, and he doesn't even need to take action, just do what he needs to do, how hard is this person's life? ”

"The strong always like to speak with strength." Silva smiled: "I read the comments on the Internet, this kid is so lucky, I suspect that if you don't praise him to praise his opponents, the league will be unlucky." ”

Stern nodded, the Knicks did keep him happy this year.

The president is not good, and last season's 23VS24 hyped up for several seasons, and it was a mess at the end. Let Crawford blow the Finals, give the Lakers so many free throws to win the game, and get back a lot of scolding. Even if Stern preaches everywhere that Kobe Bryant has the possibility of surpassing Jordan, how many people will believe it? Even if he has always taken good care of the Lakers, half of the top ten black whistle incidents in the NBA have happened to the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant is indeed incapable of building a dynasty after leaving O'Neal.

In the final analysis, it still depends on strength. Kobe Bryant's strength is only enough to win a regular season MVP. There are four championship rings and only one FMVP, which is not convincing everyone. If it goes on like this, it will only bring black to the Lakers. And the fact is indeed developing in that direction, and the number of Kohei has long been much larger than that of Komi.

James is more like Adou who can't be helped. Originally, Stern hoped that James could surpass Jordan, relying on his individual ability and comprehensive statistics. James left Cleveland desperately and became a public enemy of Cavaliers fans. Now it has been reversed by history, and its popularity has dropped again. Super Jordan? Now many people are sarcastically saying on the Internet that "James has surpassed Jordan in one championship".

Obviously, Zhou Xuan is the one who creates luck for the league, so Stern also hopes that the game can drag on to the seventh game.

Zhang Li said: "Yao Ming's team is temporarily ahead, but Zhou Xuan has won popularity. Most people online are pro-Knicks. ”

Yu Jia said: "I hope that this Knicks can play well, and if it reaches Game 7, the game will be even better." ”

The race is on. The Mavericks started with Yao Ming as the core attack, and Nowitzki was responsible for blocking Terry in the middle, and this time the Mavericks were on a strong attack lineup.

Yao Ming's previous basketball career was tragic. The Mavericks' 2-0 lead was reversed, the Jazz's 2-0 lead was reversed, and the Finals against the Lakers were reversed.

Yao Ming singled out Stadameyer and hit consecutive jump shots, purely by feel, and the interference was ineffective. Xiao Si couldn't go around, he was faster than Yao Ming, but he only needed to give the ball to Nowitzki, and a pass inside the basket in the middle was empty. Gallinari's biggest weakness in playing the No. 4 position is the disadvantage of protecting the basket.

The rest of the Knicks are not easy to defend. Kidd looks like a liability, always on the perimeter, but he's done a great job of lobbing his teammates and timing it right. Back then, the Rockets had a headache because they didn't have a good guard to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming opened, Gallinari couldn't wrap up, and the task of assisting the defense fell on Zhou Xuan and Matthews, as soon as they shrank, Yao Ming passed the ball to the periphery was a three-point opportunity.

This tactic was played very skillfully by Yao Ming as early as 2009, Artest and him on one side, and they could score nearly 20+ per game.

Van Gundy saw the door: "Nowitzki didn't play well on the pitch, and the pressure was even more today. As long as the Mavericks win the championship, Nowitzki is sure to be the MVP. Let Yao Ming play at the beginning, which can allow him to adapt to the game and find his touch. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "With Terry and Yao Ming here, the Mavericks' offense is not bad. No matter how good Zhou Xuan's single defense is, it is still very difficult to dislocate when defending and dismantling, and Terry always dodges his attacks. ”

As soon as the words fell, Terry got rid of Zhou Xuan by covering, moved a step sideways on the right side, and almost stepped on the three-point line to jump the ball. Nowitzki cut through the air after covering, and Gallinari didn't change his defense, giving Terry a chance.

The Knicks' main attackers are Zhou Xuan and Redick, as long as the Mavericks miss the shot, they will immediately play a fast break, shoot quickly, and run and bomb in 7 seconds. The positional battle was then blocked and dismantled by Zhou Xuan and Xiao Si.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed 25-29.

Zhou Xuan scored 11 points, but the shooting rate was not high, only 4 of 11 shots. The Mavericks are very strict in defending role players, and at this point, it is difficult for role players to keep a normal heart, and they pass without a good opportunity. Zhou Xuan had no choice but to come by himself, and when he broke through, the calf's formation was still shrinking, and he couldn't get an easy shot.

Zhou Xuan's shoulders were pressed with a thousand pounds of heavy burden. won, and he is the biggest contributor to the team. If he loses, people will definitely find the reason in him first. Matthews, Gallinari and others have been inconsistent in their performances, and one game is worth scoring more than 20 points. Zhou Xuan is different, he has fewer points, fewer assists or low shooting percentage, and some people are not satisfied. The fans are demanding too much of him.

In the second quarter, Maverick Nowitzki and Marion continued to bring substitutes. Carlisle didn't take into account the factors of conserving the player's stamina in this game. If it drags on to the seventh game, it will be very disadvantageous for the veteran Mavericks, who will fight to the death, but they don't want to experience the pain of the Heat.

Nowitzki singled out Anderson and scored six points in a row. Barria then broke through and misplaced and caused Anderson to be fouled. Suddenly from the third bench to an important rotation player in the Finals, Anderson has seen a lot of big scenes this year, which is very beneficial for his future development, but for now, he is still too young.

Six minutes later, Carlisle brought on Yao Ming, making him and Nowitzki form a twin tower, and the outside line also had the strongest attacking lineup, with only Kidd in charge of organizing.

Pekovic prevented Yao Ming from suffering losses, made mistakes on the offensive end, and the score was opened.

Zhou Xuan played after a 4-minute break, scoring 16 points and 3 assists at halftime, and no one else could find his form. Stadameyer was suppressed. He didn't feel good today, and he had to face Yao Ming's defense when he rushed in inside.

In the second half, D'Antoni, who had nothing to do, arranged Zhou Xuan to attack and create opportunities for him with double blocking. Zhou Xuan's shot was very resolute, and the hit rate was still lower than usual.

He could see that his teammates couldn't stand it anymore. The key game is not only about the lineup, but also about experience and mentality. In the series against the Heat, the Knicks players spent so much effort that they were all tired.

In the first half, Zhou Xuan worked hard to create scoring opportunities for his teammates, as he knew that others had to open to win. But everyone is not in good shape, and he can only attack by himself.

Zhou Xuan is not a god, even Michael Jordan has times when he is abnormal. Zhou Xuan is also the most tired man in the Knicks, and he scores energy to defend Terry.

D'Antoni saw that the team's defensive intensity was not enough, so he replaced Beverley and Stephenson.

It's a pity that it's unreliable to pin your hopes on two newcomers. I didn't stop the Mavericks with frontcourt pressing. Nowitzki and Marion covered at the back, and Terry and Kidd worked together tacitly. They have seen all the storms and waves, and they will not be disproportionate because the opponent is pressing.

Zhou Xuan's shots soared in the second half, scoring a lot, and two steals at the beginning of the fourth quarter successfully counterattacked, sending the Mavericks a wave of 8-0, but the Mavericks quickly returned the color inside.

In the last three minutes, Zhou Xuan's pressure became more and more intense, and every time he made a shot, he was worried about hearing the sound of iron, and the same was true for others. The cheers of the fans also became a factor of pressure.

The Knicks missed three consecutive rounds of offense, and the Mavericks took the opportunity to extend the margin to double digits. Nowitzki received the ball in the middle after blocking and stepped back to make a three-point shot, giving the Knicks a bloody blow.

101 to 113. The Knicks lost at home, announcing that the Mavericks won the 2010-2011 championship.

Mavericks owner Cuban jumped up from his chair excitedly, took the lead and rushed into the court, and began to celebrate with the players on the road.

Zhou Xuan was tired, but he didn't bend down. Losing to this point, he thinks he can face everything with his chest held high. The rest of the Knicks may also feel that this season is worth it, and there are regrets, but it is not enough to hit them to tears.

They are still young, and the future is bright.
