The Clippers coach didn't have the courage to call another timeout, even though the team's defense didn't improve in the slightest.

The offensive ball was handed to Griffin, who dribbled the ball well, broke through from the right side with his crotch dribble, and swayed his right shoulder in the low post, turning and shooting to the baseline. Stoudamire was a little slower again, and the choice was not to seal the eye, but to block, and the ball hit the board. 25 to 13.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan and Stoudamire blocked and dismantled, this time Gordon caught up, the Clippers completed the rotation transition, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Gallinari, who singled out Kaman's jumper from the bottom line, and the rebound was picked up by Griffin, and the cross counterattacked in the frontcourt. Davis missed a two-point shot, and the rebound was picked up by Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan slowed down and landed to attack.

In the frontcourt, he and Studamayre blocked and dismantled, and the Clippers players made adjustments, Gomez went to defend Zhou Xuan, and Griffin and Gallinari.

Gomez was able to get a place in the league, relying more on defense, he moves fast, is 201cm tall, and is not a disadvantage against opponents. But misalignment on the pitch was inevitable, with Stadamire facing Davies in the middle.

Zhou Xuan did not pass the ball, but pointed towards Gallinari at 60 degrees, Gallinari made a second cover, blocked Gomez, and Zhou Xuan ran to the right baseline. At the same time, Stadamire cut low to the right, and the trio formed a triangle.

As long as there is a pitcher and the player's intelligence is high enough, he can play a triangle offense, and Gomez can't chase Zhou Xuan anymore, otherwise Gallinari will get an open opportunity at 60 degrees from the outside. Zhou Xuan was in the bottom corner, and Griffin was also depressed whether to defend against Zhou Xuan or withdraw to the inside line to prevent Stadameyer, and he rushed to Zhou Xuan after the worst. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and moved sideways with his left hand, and the ball was hoisted to Stadameyer.

After receiving the ball, Xiao Si turned to the bottom line and pressed Carman to throw the ball in. 27 to 13.

In fact, this pass will be better, Anderson's left bottom corner is also empty, and Davis in the No. 1 position is still rushing to that side.

Zhang said: "The offensive firepower that the Knicks have shown this year has surprised people, and Zhou Xuan is the key. ”

Yu Jia smiled: "This is his fourth assist, and Stoudamire relies on explosiveness, unlike Pekovic who has to take two shots after receiving the ball." ”

The Clippers attacked, Griffin broke through the strong offense with the ball, the defense contracted, several big men blocked the water under the basket, Griffin chose to divide the ball, Carman took the ball in the middle to Anderson, turned and hooked his hand out, and the rebound was picked up by Gallinari. It was given to Zhou Xuan, who retreated.

Gordon rushed forward to press, trying to force Zhou Xuan in the backcourt, but Zhou Xuan had no intention of breaking fast, held the ball in his arms, waited for his teammates to disperse from under the basket, and then played a block with Anderson in the backcourt, and went to the front court with the ball.

Just after halftime, Stadamire covered Gomez again, and Zhou Xuan rushed to the right. Griffin could only switch defenses. Zhou Xuan's left shoulder shook lightly, and he made a "killer crossover", swept past Griffin, took a step inside the three-point line, and scored a 60-degree pull-up jump shot. 29 to 13. 16th individual point.

Griffin's propensity to feints is exposed. A lot of people are optimistic about his future, and if he wants to be a superstar, he will have to improve his defense, at least above the league average. Now he's at the level of Randolph and David Lee, and it's bad as soon as he gets out of the basket. Under the basket, his defense is not top-notch, but he is powerful, but his height and reach are limited, and he can't send many blocks.

The Clippers attacked, after many passes, Davis broke through and threw out, the rebound was obtained by Carman, and he passed out of the periphery, Gordon relied on Gomez to cover to avoid Zhou Xuan, singled out Gallinari, got rid of the dribble under the crotch, and the pull-up jump shot was also off, and Stadameyer got the rebound.

There was a misalignment on the field, Xiao Si passed to Gallinari, Zhou Xuan quickly passed through the half, and Gallinari passed the ball again.

In front of the three-point line on the left side, Gomez and Zhou Xuan maintained a one-and-a-half-step distance, which could prevent breakthroughs and interfere with shooting.

Gomez felt provoked and didn't dare to step forward to break the ball, he would accidentally pass by. Zhou Xuan attracted his defense, and Gallinari went to the front court to defend him by Gordon. Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the middle, and Griffin and Carman went inside with their own people. Gallinari didn't say a word about catching the ball, and pulled out his hand, and Gordon couldn't reach it when he jumped. Ball in! 32 to 13.

After a few rounds after a timeout, the Clippers were not able to chase the score, but were stretched to 19 points, and Zhou Xuan sent the fifth assist.

The Clippers have been blinded, Davis dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, broke through and penetrated into the pile after the block, and there was a mistake in the outside point, Carman received the ball unsteadily, directly touched the sideline, and the ball was given to the Knicks.

Zhou Xuan took half the court, passed to Gallinari without hurry, and then ran to the left side without the ball cover, this time with Anderson's cover, and several big men all pulled out of the outside line. Griffin followed Stoudemire and Carman switched defenses. After receiving a pass from Gallinari, Zhou Xuan glanced in the direction of Anderson, shook his shoulders slightly, and then turned to the bottom line.

Karman traverses too slowly and is overlooked. Zhou Xuan slipped the bottom line and scored a backhand basketball. Griffin followed Xiao Si and did not step forward to make up for it. 34 to 13. Zhou Xuan scored 18th personal points.

The Clippers don't call a timeout, and the coach feels that it's useless to call. Davis faced Matthews and broke through directly without covering, and finally came back and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 34 to 15.

Zhou Xuan passed to Gallinari, and this time the Italian made a mistake in passing. Zhou Xuan and Studamayre didn't completely shake off the defense without the ball, and he sent the ball in. Griffin switched defenses in time and stabbed the basketball with one hand, Gomez picked up the ball and launched a counterattack, and Gordon forced a breakthrough, causing Matthews to foul.

This foul is more timely, otherwise there will be a 2-on-1 in the frontcourt. Gordon made both free throws from the free throw line. 34 to 17.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball past half of the court, or gave it to Gallinari, his height is taller than Gomez, which has an advantage in itself, and as soon as he gets the ball, the Clippers can't send a forward to defend Zhou Xuan. This time Anderson and Xiao Si gave Zhou Xuan a double screen, Zhou Xuan ran to the bottom left corner, and Gallinari passed the ball over.

Kaman didn't fit closely, and put Zhou Xuan two steps away, wanting to return to the inside line at any time. Zhou Xuan received the ball and threw it, the sense of rhythm was very good, and Carman's head was used as a reference, the arc of the ball was very high, and it was hollow into the net. 37 to 17. 21st individual score.

The Knicks made the next substitution, with Douglas coming on for Matthews and Pekovic coming on for Anderson. The focus of the offense shifted to the interior.

Zhou Xuan missed a mid-range shot in the last 28 seconds, and the single-quarter data was fixed at 21 points, 5 assists and 1 steal. The Knicks led by 20 points at 43-23.

In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan sat on the sidelines and watched his teammates play. His number one fan, Matthews, said: "I think you should play a little longer today, such a good touch, and if you don't do it, you can break the scoring record." ”

"With so much lead, if I play for a long time, it's a brush." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

D'Antoni heard them talking and didn't interject. He agreed with Zhou Xuan's opinion, at this time, it is better to let the marginal people play more, give them a chance to perform, and use it as a drill lineup. There are definitely people leaving the team in the middle of the game, and if you don't have the data, it's very difficult to get good players.

Pekovic and Evans are partnered, and the outside line is Azubuuk, Fields, and Douglas.

The Clippers came off the bench with Bledsoe and Foye as two guards, and the small forward was Rookie Aminu and Interior Brian? Cook and Jordan Jr. partnered. Cook is an interior player who shoots three-pointers and can only shoot the basketball, not anything else.

Little Jordan soon suffered, he was good at helping to defend blocks, and the defense guard breakthrough was also improved than before, but with the same height, the weight was ten kilograms lighter than Pekovic, and Jordan Jr.'s data was explosive, his legs were not thick, Pekovic arched inside, and he couldn't stand it, and he committed two fouls in 4 minutes. Pekovic hooked up and he was squeezed and had a hard time jumping and couldn't get a block.

Instead, Cook did well, hitting two three-pointers to help his team bite the score.

The Clippers took the initiative from the outside, Bledsoe was impactful, and Foye could attack with the ball and shake off Fields to shoot a three-pointer. D'Antoni was particularly fond of Fields and gave him plenty of opportunities. In fact, in terms of defense, Fields is problematic, with limited individual ability, and relies more on overall defense.

Mike? Malone and Woodson agree that the Knicks are close to perfect, and the only problem is the lack of a forward who is good at marking defense, that is, Marion's type of man, who does a great job of blocking and pick-and-roll. On the offensive end, as long as you can run and shoot three points in the open position, you are qualified.

The Clippers came off the bench to recover some points, which made Davis very shameful, he was here as a savior, and now he has become a cancer on the team.

6 minutes later, Zhou Xuan played again on the court, playing double defenders on the periphery, Gallinari came on the field to replace Evans, and made a cameo appearance at the No. 4 position against Cook, leaving only Pekovic on the inside. In order to defend inside, the Clippers have to replace with a strong player who can resist people, and the No. 4 position does not dare to go to the twin towers. Otherwise, the Knicks will definitely have to compress the defense, and it will be more difficult for the Clippers to defend the outside or the fast break.

Coach Negro asked Cook to stay on the court and ensure an outside shooting point to fight with the Knicks, thinking that the opponent would not be able to shrink too much. But he soon found that this arrangement was not good, and it was better to let Little Jordan play for a while. Cook's defensive defender breakthrough is worse than Griffin's, allowing people to break through casually.

The Knicks are all pitchers on the outside, and others don't dare to easily wrap up and help defend. Zhou Xuan singled Cook, broke through twice in a row and scored a successful jump shot, and then broke through to make a foul and went to the free throw line, hitting both free throws.

The Clippers sandwiched him, Stoudeyer got another chance, and Douglas also received a pass from Zhou Xuan to make a layup after covering without the ball in the middle to make it 2+1, and the score expanded to more than 20 points again.

At halftime, the Knicks had already sealed the win.
