Chapter 85: Three Consecutive Wins

After coming on the court, Zhou Xuan and Turiaf played a blocking and dismantling cooperation on the periphery.

"The Butcher" can't shoot from the field, but he's physically strong, better at blocking people than Harrington, and he's on the perimeter to quickly return to defend the box. Zhou Xuan dodged Durin, Anderson changed the defense, which was the same as the previous method of defending Watson, blocking the breakthrough route, blocking the shooting angle, Turyaf in the middle couldn't shoot, and Durin's misplacement also mattered.

Watson plays point guard, no matter who he is facing, how big he is, and dares to shoot when he has a little space. This kind of hand-off feel is good to cut down 30+, and the bad feel is to kill teammates. Zhou Xuan didn't like to shoot as much as Watson, and he didn't use feints to accelerate the breakthrough in an attempt to pass Anderson, but just took the ball to the right side, dribbling the ball to the bottom line, and involving Anderson's defense.

When he was about to reach the bottom line, Zhou Xuan suddenly retreated and hoisted the ball high to the middle with both hands. Anderson looked back to find Turyaf running to the basket and Durin trying to block his opponent with his eyes.

Turyaf smiled at the emaciated Dorin, and if the cameraman had zoomed in a bit, he could see that he still had the chicken he had eaten before the game stuffed between his teeth.

Bang! Turyaf jumped with all his might, pulled the ball behind his head with both hands, and smashed it vigorously. Zhou Xuan was shocked when he watched from the sidelines, for fear that he would break the basket and affect the next game. 37 to 30.

The Nets coach frowned, if the Warriors could even score in Turiaf and not rely solely on Jackson and Magetti, this game would be difficult to play.

The Nets attacked, and the Warriors switched to a 32-game defense, with the main defense shooting from the outside. The low post allows Turiaf and Lopez to go head-to-head, and if Lopez is strong enough to break the Warriors' best defensive player in the low post, they will think of other options.

Durin hoisted the ball into the inside, Lopez's strength was still a little worse, and Turyaf easily resisted outside the three-second zone, Lopes dribbled a few steps, the opponent did not move, and he passed the ball out of the ball again. The Nets played a pick-and-roll match, and Biedrins followed to the perimeter to defend Anderson. Durin faced Jackson, broke through and couldn't split the ball again, and Zhou Xuan switched positions to interfere with Jarvis on the right? Hayes' shot, which was missed from a three-point range, was picked up by Turiaf, and the Warriors immediately counterattacked.

Biedrins' speed advantage on the run was on display, and he quickly hit the basket. Zhou Xuan received a pass from Jackson and dribbled across the half court and handed it to Bidrins, who received the ball on the right three-second line, faced Anderson, who was not good at defense, turned to the baseline and forced a shot, and scored a one-handed cricket ball, 39-30.

"Another assist, Zhou Xuan's passing has no tricks, and his teammates usually have someone to defend, but even if he scores, he should be able to get a double in assists this time." Yu Jia said excitedly: "This is the first time we broadcast a Warriors game this season, and I believe that the national audience is also very interested in Zhou Xuan, he only scored 2 points, and there are already 6 assists." ”

"The Warriors played the rhythm they liked, and Zhou Xuan's excellent play was an important reason for the team's good record, and if we win again today, it will be three wins in a row. If Zhou Xuan maintains this form, maybe he can become the best rookie after the season, and the three most talked-about people at the beginning of the season, Rose, Beasley, and Mayo, are not better than him in the opening statistics. "Zhang Li has started the end of the YY season, and this is only the third game.

Durin split the ball and passed to Simmons in the bottom corner. Margeti was slow to switch points and Simmons hit a three-pointer in the open space. 39 to 33.

The Warriors attacked, and Zhou Xuan led the half court and then blocked with Turiaf. This time, Du Lin bypassed to chase Zhou Xuan, and Turiaf immediately ran to the inside, and Anderson entered the inside. Zhou Xuan took a step inside the three-point line on the right side and made a sharp stop! 41 to 33.

Turyaf also had a lot of credit for this ball, Durin was a little out of balance when he hit him, and it was too late to chase the defense. Zhou Xuan shot and got an open opportunity, which was very simple. And he calculated in his heart that Durin couldn't catch up, and his mentality was very relaxed when he shot, and it was easier to ensure the hit rate.

The Nets attacked, Durin broke through and missed, the Warriors counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan took the ball quickly. Durin couldn't defend back and played 3 in the frontcourt. Hayes and Simmons followed Jackson and Margeti respectively, and Zhou Xuan took the ball and advanced to the middle, with Anderson in front of him.

After this period of observation, Zhou Xuan already had a good idea of Anderson's speed, and when he got to the back of the front court, he twisted to the right to look at Jackson, holding the ball with both hands but sticking it out to the left. Anderson was suddenly disheveled in his retreat, his eyes almost tilting to the sides.

Zhou Xuan didn't pass anyone, strode through Antonsen's left side and jumped up, and scored with his right hand backhand. 43 to 33.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! Zhang Cheng exclaimed excitedly: "This is completely a manifestation of personal ability, and he easily deceived his opponent." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Some domestic reporters have interviewed people who know Zhou Xuan, and they all said that he shot and broke through very sharply, and he didn't attack much in the preseason, and now it seems that he does have a strong scoring ability, and he definitely didn't do his best in the preseason." ”

Zhang Li sighed: "It's a pity that he couldn't stay in the rocket, and he said the situation in an interview." The assistant coach of the Rockets insisted on using Brooks and asked Zhou Xuan to play the unsuitable No. 2 position. This is good, and the Warriors are cheap. Brooks has a poor pass, Alston is also old, if Zhou Xuan can be on the same team as Yao Ming, the Rockets will be even more worth looking forward to this season. ”

After giving up Zhou Xuan, not many people were looking forward to rockets, only people scolded Morey for being an idiot.

Nets coach Lawrence? Frank saw that the score was pulled away again, and hurriedly made adjustments. Boone came on to replace Lopez, and Yi Jianlian replaced Anderson in an attempt to strengthen the interior defense. Harris replaced Hayes on the perimeter and switched to a two-guard lineback.

Unfortunately, these three substitutions were complete mistakes, originally the Nets had someone on the offensive end of the interior to contain and put pressure, Anderson could also withdraw the interior line, change back to the main force, change to two guards to enhance the breakthrough, and the Warriors can unscrupulously compress the defense.

Frank is a young coach who is only 38 years old this year, and after taking over as head coach of the Nets, he led the Nets all the way to a high level, setting an NBA record of 14 consecutive wins by a new coach, and propelled himself into the history books of the American professional league. In the 130-year history of the four major professional leagues in the United States, he is the only one who has done this. It's a pity that Frank didn't rely on ability, but the Nets had a strong enough lineup at that time, and he was stained with the light of the players. Kidd is the coach on the court, and he has his offensive organization on the Nets, which is never messy, and there are also Jefferson and Carter to steal points. Now that Kidd is replaced by Harris and Jefferson is replaced by Simmons, Frank's good days are coming to an end.

Durin broke through with the ball and passed it back to Yi Jianlian, who handed it to Harris, who missed the pull-up jumper and the rebound was picked up by Margeti.

The Nets' starting lineup is in an embarrassing situation, with no inside rebounds, and unreliable low-post offense, mainly relying on backcourt double-shots. If Yi Jianlian dares to take the initiative to take on the task of attacking in the low post, it will be good for the Nets. And he has also shown the ability to play low post on the international stage, and he has a certain accuracy in turning and jumping. But he is not Zhou Xuan, the head coach does not arrange it, he will not be bold enough to recommend himself. He has always carried forward the Chinese virtue of "modesty" in Bucks, but no one will thank him for it.

What is needed on the court is vitality, passion, courage, and self-confidence, but you don't need to be modest, and you don't need to be modest, and you have the ability not to hit the opponent's modest ball!

Soon, the Nets paid the price for their two-point guard tactics, Jackson went berserk, hit two three-pointers on Dorin's head, and Biedlings received a misplaced basket from Zhou Xuan's wonderful pass, and caused a foul, and the free throw also beat the Nets 8-0 even though he didn't score.

At halftime, the Warriors led by 17 points, 59-42.

Zhou Xuan got 6 points and 9 assists, and Yi Jianlian didn't score a point on 0-of-4 shooting, only grabbed 3 rebounds, and had three fouls.

CCTV5 hyped it up before, thinking that it would be a dragon fight, but the scene was completely one-sided, and Zhou Xuan stole all the limelight. Yi Jianlian's performance and the first game against the Wizards can only be described as "rotten".

"Under Zhou Xuan's organization, the Warriors' offense was fantastic, and his performance in the second quarter was especially good. On the defensive end, he has not become an obvious hole, and some people have predicted that Harris will rely on speed to blow up Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan's traversal speed was very fast, preventing a breakthrough, and now Harris's data ......" Zhang Li checked it and couldn't believe it: "9 shots and 1 hit!" This performance is completely unbeatable to the previous game. Carter's shooting percentage is also not high, and if he still doesn't make adjustments in the second half, the game will go into garbage time early. ”

"Yi Jianlian also needs to adjust his style of play and mentality, hoping that he can break the scoring drought in the second half, and if the Nets chase the score closer, this game will be better." Yu Jia also doesn't want to watch a game with a huge disparity, especially since Yi Jianlian has a lot of supporters in China and is a star cultivated by the CBA.

Fans who like Yi Jianlian are disappointed. Perhaps it was found that the substitute Anderson performed better, or perhaps it was stimulated by the Chinese in the Warriors camp, and Frank firmly pressed Yi Jianlian on the bench in the second half.

Nelson Sr. brought on Harrington, who had been on the bench for the entire quarter, to add a shooting point to the perimeter. Harrington was a little absent-minded after coming on, missing three jumpers in a row, and frequently missing people on the defensive end, and Biedrins missed positions many times in order to make up for the defense. Nets blue-collar center Boone seized the opportunity to grab four frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter, and all of them were converted into goals. Boone's double-double after three quarters was also a rare spectacle on the court.

Nelson Sr.'s intention was to give the main team more rest, so Harrington played the full quarter, and the Nets narrowed the gap to 11 points going into the fourth quarter.

When the Nets saw a glimmer of hope of winning, the Warriors made another substitution, replacing Harrington with Azubuike, and Margeti played a small-ball game at the No. 4 position. Under the Warriors' running and counterattacking, the score increased to 20 points after half a quarter, and the two sides replaced the main players early, and the Nets gave up resistance.

Zhou Xuan played 31 minutes and had an average shooting touch, shooting 3 of 9, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 8 points. He continued to be eye-catching in passing, diching out 14 assists, as well as two rebounds and a steal.

Harris was completely lost, shooting an outrageously low 3-of-14 shooting, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, five assists, and four turnovers on 5-of-6 free throws.

The Warriors continued to go from strength to strength, winning three in a row!
