Chapter 499 [Chanting MVP]

Zhou Xuan controls the number of shots he makes, not only because the opponent is strict in defense, but also because his teammates can shoot confidently and find their touch.

He does this every game, and while he makes his teammates, his teammates in turn attract the defense, and he can also get easy scoring opportunities, and the opponent does not dare to keep the trap.

Zhang reasonably commented: "Ellis and Curry also played very well, but compared with Zhou Xuan's data today, it is nothing." He quietly scored 23 points and 18 assists, just two assists short of a double-20. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan has already played a double 20 this season, for an interior like Howard, it is easier to score 20 points and 20 rebounds, 20 points and 20 assists are not something that anyone can get, most point guards have not had this kind of performance in their lives, I believe the Warriors management must be very depressed now." ”

Joey? Lacob was watching TV at home, and several phone calls came in at the same time, all of which were reported by the team management, in Oakland and San Francisco, they had to pay attention to the guidance of public opinion, as soon as Zhou Xuan left, although the Warriors' attendance rate was still in the top few in the league, jersey sales had dropped to a mess. Curry and David Lee combined with their combined influence cannot be compared with Zhou Xuan.

The Warriors lost the trade completely. Although the Knicks were called a brain-dead team in the mid-season trade last season, Zhou Xuan didn't play for half a season, and Maddy's performance was disappointing. But by the summer, the Knicks had cleared up salary space, Thomas's legacy was all settled, and a mid-term trade contributed to the Knicks' rise.

Joey was disgusted when he saw Zhou Xuan's super stats like eating flies, but he still forced himself to watch it, and he hoped that the Warriors would win. He intends to have the manager strengthen in the middle of the game through a trade, and Randolph and David Lee must break up, otherwise they will be as embarrassed as the Knicks back then.

Smart arranged defensive tactics and brought Randolph off the pitch for Amondsson. The intention is clear, Amundsen and Stadamire have been teammates, and they know how to entangle their opponents to make them uncomfortable.

The other three Warriors interior players are now unavailable. Turyaf's stats slipped last season, averaging just four per game after returning from injury. 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1. 1 block, can only defend in the low post, and it is too slow to change guards. Brandon? Wright is fast enough, too thin to block the impact of Stodameyer on the inside. Blair is a hard injury, and if the Knicks replace Pekovic, he will be "delivered". To strengthen the defense, you can only use Amondsen.

After experiencing the curse of interior injuries last season, this season, the Warriors plus Gazuric, who is not on the court, are equivalent to piling up 7 interior players, but they still have obvious weaknesses. After the new manager took office, he made a lot of moves, but he made the team suffer internal and external troubles, which was nondescript. Lacob hired the cheapest manager in the league and wasted more money on the players.

D'Antoni's tactics are very simple, that is, Zhou Xuan controls the ball, others pull away, Xiao Si blocks and dismantled, and all five people on the court can shoot.

As soon as Zhou Xuan saw that Amondson was on it, he immediately signaled to his teammates to compress the defense, and only David Lee was left who was a threat on the inside.

After a few passes, the Warriors couldn't find a good breakaway. David Lee pulled up to the top and gave Garcia a cover. Garcia dodged Gallinari and confronted Anderson, bouncing the ball and breaking inside.

Usually Garcia shoots three-pointers from the perimeter, and suddenly breaks through with the ball and deceives everyone. Stadamire and Amondson were slow to react, and Garcia was already jumping up and scoring with a one-handed dunk when they got back to the basket. 104 to 99.

The Knicks attacked, and Curry waited in the backcourt. Zhou Xuan knew that Curry was tired, he only played an average of 34 minutes per game before, but today he played more than 40 minutes, Smart didn't believe that Jeremy Lin could limit Zhou Xuan and let him sit on the cold bench all the time.

Amunderson was very tight with Stadamier, Zhou Xuan waved his hand and let the players pull away, Stodamimair went to the right low post, Anderson was 60 degrees on the right, Gallinari was in the bottom corner, and three big men were on one side. Matthews is in the bottom left corner. Zhou Xuan didn't want to cover, and directly went head-to-head with Curry.

Amondson is full of physical strength, and he is also responsible for blocking and dismantling, Zhou Xuan simplifies the complexity and disrupts the opponent's plan.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch to the left side, Curry followed, he dribbled the ball behind his left hand and handed over his right hand, his right shoulder shook, and his feet did not move. Curry followed the move, and as soon as his left foot landed, Zhou Xuan changed direction to the left again, and the breakthrough was successful.

Curry lost his center of gravity and was completely passed by Zhou Xuan, at this time Stadamire was still in the low post, and Amunderson was not making up the defense, and it was not good if he didn't make up the defense. A ruthless heart pounced. Zhou Xuan cocked his toes during the run, and with a flick of his right hand, the ball was thrown high under the basket.

Stadameyer jumped on his back, caught the ball under the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands. 106-99, Zhou Xuan's 19th assist.

The Warriors attacked, Ellis broke through by covering the ball, and the Knicks contracted the defense, sandwiching Ellis in the middle and letting go of Amondson. Ellis took three steps and found two big men in front of him jumping to block, and hurriedly turned around and passed the ball outside to find Amondsson. Amonderson has no shooting ability, and no one cares about standing on the perimeter, so he can continue to organize after a turnaround.

But this time Ellis was wrong, Zhou Xuan let go of Curry from the side, blocked the basketball in the middle, and went on a fast break alone. Curry was in a straight line with him, and although the distance was far away, Zhou Xuan concluded that Ellis could not see the passing space. It was his third steal of the game. Relying on his speed to shake off Amondson, who turned slowly, and easily scored on the basketball. 108 to 99, 25th personal score.

The Warriors players still couldn't find their senses, and Ellis made a strong three-point shot from the outside, and he dodged the block, but his hand cooled. David Lee grabbed the rebound again, was caught in the low post on the left side, and passed the ball to the perimeter.

Zhou Xuan is well aware of David Lee's habits, and he prefers to pass the ball to 60 degrees after attracting the bag, not the bottom corner. Usually the baseline is not empty, and defenders at 60 degrees tend to shrink. Zhou Xuan once again let go of Curry, and when David Lee turned around, he rushed to Garcia outside the three-point line on the left, blocked the passing route, stabbed the basketball with one palm, and rushed to the frontcourt.

Ellis let go of Matthews' crazy chase, Zhou Xuan took a step inside the three-point line in the middle, leaned over, slapped the ball down, passed to Matthews who followed in the middle, and went to the card position to grab the rebound. The latter catches the ball and grabs a three-point shot and hollows it into the net. 111 to 99. Zhou Xuan had his 20th personal assist and also scored 4 steals.

Kenny? Smith said: "Zhou Xuan's performance today was too terrifying, he was familiar with the characteristics of his former teammates, he could defend against it, and two consecutive steals turned into counterattacks, and the score was opened." ”

Barkley laughed: "It looks like Smart is not going to call another timeout, they just took a timeout, and it's not a good idea to play Amondson when chasing points, he is terrible offensive." ”

The Warriors attacked, Curry passed the ball to the frontcourt, relied on his teammates to cover the run, received the ball and missed the three-point shot, and played too quickly. However, Curry's choice is understandable, Armondson can't attract defense after covering, and the opponent will bypass the cover to chase the defense, and even form a package with the inside, leaving Curry not much time to adjust.

Stoudeyer conceded too many rebounds today, and finally didn't relent, stuck David Lee and grabbed it. In the Knicks positional battle, the players pulled away and made room for Zhou Xuan to go head-to-head.

Ellis defended and asked Curry to defend Matthews. Zhou Xuan guarded the basketball and shouted, "Reverse cut." ”

Gallinari immediately went to cover Matthews, who dodged Curry and rushed from the right to the bottom left corner. Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the right side, Gallinari faced Curry, caught the ball and leaned over, turned around and jumped, Curry couldn't block it at all, the opportunity was good, but the ball shot was off. David Lee won the basketball, and Ellis and Curry ran to the frontcourt together and quickly counterattacked.

At this point, there was a clear misalignment on the court, Curry versus Gallinari. Ellis was unattended, and Zhou Xuan had a hunch that there was little chance of quickly returning to the defense, so he rushed inside after David Lee grabbed the rebound.

David Lee won the rebound and was pestered by Stadamire and gave the ball to Garcia, who was closer to him. Zhou Xuan rushed forward and directly received the basketball with both hands, and picked the basketball with his left hand on the left side to score, scoring 27th points. 113 to 99.

With 14 points trailing, Smart was forced to call another timeout. When Zhou Xuan got off the court, Knicks fans collectively stood up and chanted "MVP"! He received the highest accolade.

Su Qun shouted: "Zhou Xuan made three successful steals and led the team to open the score, and he played too beautifully." ”

Yang Jian said: "The fans started shouting MVP, his stats are definitely MVP-level, and the Warriors will definitely regret it." He came out of his injuries completely. ”

Smart replaced Amunderson and replaced Randolph ready to attack. 14 points behind, if you don't fight, you won't have a chance. Amondsen didn't put in any performance after coming on, and the previous timeout, instead of stabilizing the situation, had widened the scoreline, which was an absolute tactical mistake.

After Randolph came on the court, the Warriors' high-post blocking and interior tactics were turned on, and the defensive guard broke through a little worse. In order to prevent Zhou Xuan, Smart also replaced Curry, who had been playing for too long, and replaced Darrell? Wright, let Ellis play point guard in a cameo and Zhou Xuan opposite.

Ellis focused on his own offense, supplemented by passing to his teammates, and the Warriors were messy, shooting with a pick-and-roll for several rounds. Although David Lee, Randolph, and Ellis have strong individual abilities, they do not cooperate much, and the difference between the two sides is always above 10.

Zhou Xuan played the fourth quarter and assisted Stadameyer to score in the middle in the last four minutes, scoring 21 assists. He also made two breakaways to cause David Lee and Randolph to foul, hit all four free throws, and scored 14 points in the single quarter, for a total of 31 points. Every time Zhou Xuan stood at the free throw line, the fans would shout "MVP" together!

125-113, the Knicks eventually defeated the Warriors at home.

Zhou Xuan played 31 points, 4 rebounds, 21 assists and 5 steals.
