Chapter 193: [Single-handedly Nash]

The ball bounced off the rebound and was picked up by Randolph to the frontcourt, the Warriors played a fast break, Azubuike passed to Margeti, who singled Grant? Hill, dribbling to the left low post and preparing to force a turn, was fouled by Hilla.

Van Gundy said excitedly: "Zhou Xuan's sense of defense is very good, he borrowed the cover of his teammates when chasing Nash, Nash went deep into the basket and it was inconvenient to pass the ball to Stoudeyer, Biderins was far away, and the layup was the only option, and Zhou Xuan jumped ahead of Nash." ”

"Magic" Johnson smiled: "Zhou Xuan has had many wonderful blocks this season, and this ball can probably be on the top five." ”

Zhou Xuan firmly believes that he can be stronger than Nash, strong on the defensive end, Nash will never make up for blocks, one-on-one can prevent breakthroughs, interfere with the opponent's misplaced shooting is his all his tasks, Zhou Xuan can do more by relying on prediction, and play a role in the rotation position.

When Margeti made free throws, Nash looked at Zhou Xuan and was more surprised. He knew that Randolph couldn't catch up, and observed Biedrins' position, but he missed Zhou Xuan. Not marking people on the court, chasing the ball and running is a beginner, a habit only a layman has, Zhou Xuan's previous circumambulation and interference with Stadameyer proved that he is not a layman, so all this is planned and planned, guessing that he will go to the basket.

Thinking of this, Nash felt goosebumps run on his back. Some media said that Zhou Xuan had already beaten him, because the defense was much better than him, he didn't believe it, and now he saw with his own eyes that Zhou Xuan's defensive ability was indeed above him. How is it possible for a rookie to reach this level just by doing so?

Margety hit one of two free throws, and the rebound was received by Camby, who controlled the rebound a little better than O'Neal and was also aggressive in grabbing. 11 to 12.

The Suns attacked, and Nash quickly led the half court and passed to Richardson, who in turn gave Studamayre. Stoudamire stood with his back to protect the ball, and then passed to Hill who was running, and after a few passes, the Warriors' joint defensive formation was not messed up, Hill's emergency stop-up jump shot was missed, and the rebound was picked up by Biedrins.

Zhou Xuan took the ball to the frontcourt, Randolph was still in the low post, after Biedrins covered, the Suns' defense changed again, Hill changed the defense, and Camby stayed in the low post to prevent the Warriors from shooting in the bottom corner.

Azubuuk stood stupidly in the bottom corner, Zhou Xuan couldn't control his teammates' thoughts, and really wanted to shout at Azubuuk, "Raise the running position to 60 degrees", but Hill was interfering by his side, ready to steal the ball at any time, and he couldn't speak. As long as he moves a few steps, Camby will have to prevent him from getting out of the way, and then pass to Azubuk, and he can't pass Camby if there is enough space?

Zhou Xuan could only pass to Margeti, who passed to Biedrins, at this time Nash had already rotated to defend Azubuke, Camby returned to the low post and leaned on Biedrins, Biedrins is also a thin and tall inside, singled Camby, turned around and hit the board with one hand and did not score, and the rebound was taken by Stadameyer.

The Suns aren't a team that doesn't defend anymore, and they now put a lot of emphasis on defense compared to the Suns under D'Antoni.

Nash and Stoudamire block and dismantle, the Warriors can't do a perfect rotation position, Randolph doesn't have enough defensive awareness, and there is a gap with Camby, and Biedrins is only good at low post defense. Nash misplaced Randolph and scored on a pull-up jumper with the ball. 11 to 14.

The baseline ball was issued, and Zhou Xuan said lightly to Randolph: "Go to the low post and tell Andris not to come out." ”

Randolph immediately understood that he was going to play singles, and when he got to the low post, he coded Andris to the bottom line.

As long as I break through his defense, no matter who comes to make up for it, there will be a gap, and I will definitely be able to do it!

Zhou Xuan took the ball to Nash's top of the arc, and after his teammates pulled away, he dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his right hand, gently probed his right shoulder, and then changed direction to the left side to break through. Hill came up from the side to block, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Margeti with one hand in the run, who received the ball and moved sideways, widened the distance between him and Hill, and scored a jumper. 13 to 14.

The Suns attacked, Nash broke through by covering, it was still Randolph who changed the defense to block and dismantle, Nash chose to break through, his shoulders shook slightly and changed to the right side, and no one else made up for the defense, and the Suns' two swing men had strong shooting ability and could not defend themselves.

As he dribbled to the basket, Nash almost touched the baseline and passed the ball to Stoudamayre, who caught the ball and soared into the air on the other side, scoring with a one-handed dunk! 13 to 16.

Nelson Sr. shook his head on the sidelines, if he couldn't prevent the pick-and-roll, he could only fight to attack. Biedrins said that he wouldn't go out of the interior anymore, and his eyes were fixed on the rebound, and he couldn't count on him. With his attitude, he must also be traded.

Van Gundy said: "If the Warriors want to do well in the playoffs, or even a championship, they have to make a trade, their defensive problems are too serious, I think Randolph is better under the basket and let Biedrins go to the pick-and-roll, or just let Margeti play the No. 4 position before Jackson returns from injury, so that he doesn't get broken through." Several of the Warriors' interior players, including Biedrins, aren't very good at defending breakaways. ”

Johnson said: "But the Warriors' low-post defense is really good, after losing O'Neal, it is difficult for the Suns to hit the basket, these rounds they rely on breakthroughs and shots, once you lose the crosshair, you can get into trouble, in contrast, the Warriors have more offensive means." Zhou Xuan controlled the ball...... We look at it and pull it away again. ”

The teammates pulled away and let Zhou Xuan single Nash again. He held the ball and his shoulders shook left and right continuously, Nash suddenly instinctively moved his center of gravity to the left and right, and unconsciously took a step back, he didn't know which way Zhou Xuan was going to change direction.

Zhou Xuan just shook his shoulders, but his feet did not move, and while Nash retreated, Zhou Xuan also took a step back. This gives the illusion of being discussed. Zhou Xuan broke through last time, but this time he let his teammates pull away, and also gave Nash a psychological hint that he was going to break through, and subconsciously Nash didn't shoot anymore.

Zhou Xuan made up his mind to shoot, and stepped back for three points at the top of the arc. The arc of the ball was low and flat, and he shot before jumping to the highest point. Nash was two steps away from him, and it was too late to close his eyes. The ball hits the basket and goes into the net cleanly. 16 to 16.

Gentry looked at Zhou Xuan in surprise on the sidelines, and a thought flashed in his heart: What a great rhythm, this kid is fast when he should be fast, slow when he should be slow, it is completely a veteran's style of play, and Nash may not be able to prevent him one-on-one.

Unfortunately, the Warriors are also all offensive points, Nash can't switch to other people, and Azubuike is much stronger than Zhou Xuan and has a strong impact. It is even more impossible to prevent Margeti, and it has to be knocked apart.

Nash's defense is recognized as bad, and there are fans in China who jokingly call him "Nabu Defense". In fact, Nash is defensive, but he can't defend it with all his might, and his ball quotient seems to be only used on the offensive end. Nash was shut out by dozens of colleges for surprisingly consistent reasons: "Your defense is the worst I've ever seen."

This bastard boy has been using me as a breakthrough? Nash took the half and heard Suns fans shouting his name. People want the two-time MVP to be still in color and not be overwhelmed by rookies. The Suns players also invariably pulled away, and it was a matter of honor. Zhou Xuan hit two in a row, and Nash couldn't be indifferent.

Zhou Xuan lowered his center of gravity and stared at Nash, keeping his distance.

His teammates believe in Nash's heads-up ability, and he's a perfect defender on the offensive end. Aside from dunking, he can score in almost any way. No one would have predicted what he would do next, whether it would be passing the ball or attacking himself? Hill once said, "If Steve had been selfish, he could have easily won the scoring title." ”

Nash held the ball with his left foot and stepped out to the right, his shoulder poked, Zhou Xuan did not follow Nash's footsteps, but his left shoulder shook slightly, Nash's left foot landed halfway, and the right hand holding the ball changed direction to the left hand and the right foot to exert force, and the left hand dribbled to the left. Nice change of direction.

But Zhou Xuan was also a feint just now, the center of gravity was not lost, and the small broken steps quickly moved sideways to block Nash's breakthrough route, without stealing or being close, always maintaining a one-step distance. Nash paused lightly, dribbled under the crotch of his left hand and handed over his right hand to the middle of the road again, and Zhou Xuan was still not shaken away. He moves back with a very light pivot foot, which makes it easier to twist the center of gravity, and if there is physical contact with the opponent, it is also convenient to fake falls.

Without eating any feints, Zhou Xuan's face was also unshocked, everything was within his expectations. As soon as Nash fakes, he can immediately analyze the odds of the opponent's choice, if he rushes to the bottom line, Nash can only shoot, and his outside teammates are still staring, once the shot misses, it is easy to be hit by the Warriors to play a quick counterattack. Changing direction in the middle makes it easier to observe teammates' movements, and can pass the ball if there are no good shooting opportunities.

Zhou Xuan relied on super logical thinking to play, except for him, no one could think of so much and react in an instant! His style is unprecedented. Even if there is a genius like him, I am afraid that he would have gone to other fields to engage in scientific research, and he would not appear on the basketball court.

Nash didn't force the ball and passed to Stoudayre, who in turn passed to Richardson, who missed a pull-up jumper with Azubuuk interfering.

Zhou Xuan only glanced at it and ran towards the Suns half, only Nash followed him, and the others were still watching the rebound, Camby jammed Biedrins, but Randolph squeezed Stoudamayre from the other side and rushed to the basket and won the rebound. As soon as Zhou Xuan started, Randolph turned around and threw it to the frontcourt.

A tacit counterattack, Zhou Xuan received the basketball in front of the three-point line and leaned against Nash with his back, turned to the right side, did not shake off, but brought it to the basket under Nash's interference, and when he was about to reach the bottom line, he turned to the middle again, took the ball with both hands and started off, Nash did not jump.

In such a deep place under the basket, he should have to jump to stop me, no! Zhou Xuan immediately smelled the smell of danger, there are two possibilities for Nash not to jump, it is really a black hole defense that is lazy, the probability is too low, and the other possibility is that there is someone behind him.

Zhou Xuan bent his knees and raised his hands high, still not jumping, and shook it a second time. Richardson flew over from the side, and if he had just opted to shoot, he would have eaten a big hat.

Shaking off Richardson, Zhou Xuan jumped forward again and shot with one hand, and the ball hit the board and fell into the basket. 18 to 16.
