Chapter 713 [It's Not a Grade]

DALIUS MORRIS, WHO IS IN CHARGE OF BALL CONTROL, IS 193CM TALL, WEIGHS 88 KILOGRAMS, AND HAS A STYLE MORE LIKE A SHOOTING GUARD, WAS SELECTED WITH THE 41ST PICK IN THE SECOND ROUND, AND IN THE 2011-2012 SEASON, MORRIS AVERAGED 8 GAMES PER GAME. 9 minutes, get 2. 4 points 1. 1 assist. Such a marginal person has been promoted to the starter, which shows what the Lakers' outside line has become.

Morris got to the front court and passed to Kobe. Matthews stepped forward to get close, Kobe Bryant first dummy to the right, then turned around in the middle, and Gasol pulled to the high post to block Matthews.

Scola is not fast enough, but he has experience, the Rockets play 3-4 games with the Lakers every year, he knows how to defend Kobe, he stepped forward to prevent shooting, Kobe paused with the ball, accelerated to the left baseline, and opened the distance by the change of rhythm.

Chandler let go of Howard and formed a bag with Scola to test Bryant's passing ability, and Howard was released on the right side. Kobe Bryant was blocked tightly, and in order to pass the ball, he jumped out of the baseline with the ball, dodging Chandler's pass to the other side. Zhou Xuan often used this method, but he made a decision after careful calculation and optimistic about the opponent's position, but Kobe Bryant jumped up and passed the ball while only looking at Howard.

As soon as the ball was shot, Zhou Xuan quickly shot out, blocked in front of Howard and cut off the basketball, completely emptying Morris outside the three-point line in the middle.

After breaking the ball, Zhou Xuan didn't force the brakes, so it was easy to make mistakes, he jumped directly out of the bottom line, turned around and smashed the ball on Howard's thigh with one hand, and bounced it into the audience.

Happy Center's face was a little ugly, Zhou Xuan was playing with basketball as a dodgeball, although it didn't hurt to hit his thigh, but he felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Kobe Bryant and wanted to ask how you passed this rotten ball? Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, and lowered his head to defend himself.

Yang Jian said: "Although Morris is a substitute, he has a performance of 16 three-pointers in a single game in college, and Zhou Xuan is very risky to let him go for steals." ”

Su Qun said: "This kind of gambling steal Zhou Xuan often does, he can always grasp the timing just right, and he can often break the basketball, I think this is where he is more clever." ”

Yang Jian said: "Maybe he calculated that Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball to Morris. ”

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan let his teammates pull away in the frontcourt, and Morris defended.

Morris was very excited, he was a substitute in both games last season, and he had no chance to play against Zhou Xuan, and now he is in charge of the main defense, if he guards against Zhou Xuan, maybe he can get nicknames such as "Mage Terminator" and "Voldemort". (Voldemort ends himself with full blood)

Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch to the left side, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand.

In martial arts novels, the two people who fight at the beginning often do not go all out, but test each other's tricks first. When talking about business in business, it is generally the price that is tested first, and then bargaining step by step, so that teammates will not know their hole cards. That's what the human psyche is. Morris guessed that Zhou Xuan would break through on the first ball and would not force a shot.

Zhou Xuan is good at reverse thinking, doing the opposite, jumping slightly at 60 degrees, making a quick shot, and before the person reaches the highest point, the ball flies to the basket, adhering to the speed of the shot is the first attack force.

Morris jumped slowly, and simply stretched out his hand, which was Zhou Xuan's most accurate position, and the ball went in. 2 to 0.

The Lakers attacked, Morris still passed to Kobe, and then waited for an opportunity on the periphery, Kobe Bryant broke through the left side after blocking and dismantling high, and the Knicks defense moved to his side, and the two big men formed a bag again.

Their plan was to defend Kobe Bryant and let Howard go. Kobe Bryant was blocked by two people, and it was difficult to split the ball to the other side, so he chose to give the ball to Gasol in the middle, and then Gasol gave the ball to Howard.

Howard, known as the first center, has not practiced a stable mid-range shot this season, and even shows signs of regression, in the first two seasons, he was full of thoughts about how to leave the Magic, and the offense was to stand low.

In fact, if he is willing to play blocking and dismantling with Kobe Bryant in the high post, and then cut in the middle, the efficiency will be higher, but in the Magic, Howard does not like to block and dismantle, he likes to show off his flexible feet and half-hook hands in the low post, which is thankless, the reason is just that experts think that the center who plays the low post is more dominant.

Such a monster, to be honest, really doesn't have much dominance at all, and it makes sense to pitch about 10 balls in a game. Gasol knew Howard's characteristics and quickly passed the ball to the basket. Chandler's physical fitness was also not ordinary, and he turned to resist Howard and raised his arms to interfere. Howard suffered a loss and leaned back.

Chandler didn't get away with it, and Scola and Matthews also shrank, and the three of them sandwiched Howard's bag under the basket. Kobe Bryant and Gasol were emptied.

This is an obvious opportunity, but Howard's performance is just like what Pan Changjiang sang in the sketch - "Teammates are standing in front of you, you are looking at your black bones, hairy water, bright and bright, crystal not big, not big, not round, not big, just can't see!" Unseen! ”

Howard forced a shot and bounced off the frame under the interference.

Chandler didn't jump, but turned around and took the rebound on his toes.

Zhou Xuan retreated to take the ball, turned around and threw it forward with one hand. Ci Shiping had just prepared three points in the bottom corner, and now he was engaged in charity on the court, and was left behind by Leonard, and Zhou Xuan's long pass was just right. How much effort is used to throw the ball 10 meters away, and how much strength is used to throw the ball, Zhou Xuan knows it in his heart, his long pass is as accurate as a heat-tracking missile, and the second season will be great.

Sometimes, Zhou Xuan feels that with his calculating ability, he may be able to reach the level of Beckham if he plays football by himself and masters his footwork, and he can almost become a star with the ball.

Leonard received the ball and turned three steps up, ignoring Ci Shiping on the side and forced a layup to score. 4 to 0. Zhou Xuan's first assist.

The Lakers attacked, Morris still passed the ball to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant blocked and gave Gasol to the middle, and Leonard changed the defense. After two rounds, the Knicks changed their position on the outside, and Matthews went to fight with Tzu Shiping for muscles, and the mobile Leonard defended Kobe.

Leonard, who has an excellent head and arm span, is good at switching defenses, Gasol saw that there was interference and did not force a strong shot, and chose to distribute the ball to the side, and Morris hobled the ball to Howard in the low post on the left side.

Howard took the ball with his back to Chandler, his left foot as the axis, his right shoulder swayed, and then turned to the baseline. Chandler showed the skill of the best defensive player at this time, did not eat or jump, leaned on Howard's side to follow, raised his hands to interfere, so that the referee would not generally blow a foul.

He relied entirely on height limitations, although he did not add statistics, but it was very effective. Howard turned and went to the basket, where he was already under the basket and was in danger of being blocked, and passed the ball out again.

The 24-second offensive time is almost up. Bryant singled out Leonard, a pullup jump shot that was missed by interference, and Scola picked up the rebound. Battier's eye-sealing Kobe Bryant is not afraid, the speed of action is too slow, and he always seals it after he shoots. Leonard's long arms and speed create more pressure.

Van Gundy lamented: "Cowie Leonard is really a treasure that the Knicks picked up, and his 15th pick is underrated. DeRozan and Paul George, who were high picks back then, also had his style, and he had great defense and might be able to become a super defensive player in the future. ”

Joan Barry said: "But playing in the Knicks, the offense is a bonus, Zhou Xuan will create opportunities for his teammates, improve their shooting percentage, and if he goes to other teams, it's hard to say how many points he can score." ”

Van Gundy smiled: "As long as he is not a point guard, he can play more efficiently than before to the Knicks, and Zhou Xuan is recognized for making his teammates stronger, so he can win the MVP for a second time." When the point guard came, he could only be covered by Zhou Xuan's light. ”

Miller is here and Billups is down, but there will still be veterans who are willing to join in the fun, for the simple reason that they have experience and can see where to play for retirement and a championship.

The Lakers don't have a good offense and have problems on the defensive end. In the next round, Zhou Xuan took a quick stop jump shot after blocking and dismantling, although it was missed, but Da Gasolka broke through the route slowly, and did not interfere with him effectively, and the opportunity came out.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant relied on the pick-and-roll to burst into the basket and threw the shot wide under Chandler's interference. The Knicks played a quick counterattack, and Zhou Xuan passed to Leonard, who received the ball on the right side and faced Morris to grab a three-point shot. 7 to 0.

The Lakers passed the ball many times, and Howard finally blocked Kobe Bryant sideways, and Kobe Bryant broke through and attracted the defense to hit the ground and passed the ball to Howard. "Warcraft" was about to dunk with both hands, and the side Scola stepped forward to hold him.

Howard switched to shooting wide and was sent to the free-throw line. Amid the cheers of the home fans, Howard hummed music that made Kobe want to kick him twice, missed both free throws, and the rebound was grabbed by Chandler.

Someone like Howard, who plays basketball with the power of throwing discus, shoots very hard to practice, and humming doesn't do much, and he's only shooting 55 free throws so far this season. 6%, which is a step back from last season. Warcraft slapped the basketball experts who supported him a few times with his actions.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan took to the front court to play the code, and his teammates pulled away. He started "herewego" on the periphery, and he also played music in his heart, like basketball hip-hop.

Morris suddenly got big when he saw him playing like this, lowered his center of gravity and didn't dare to step forward, Zhou Xuan took the ball and took a step back to the left three-point line, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand. Morris hurriedly stepped forward, stepped forward with his right foot, and before his left foot could keep up, Zhou Xuan changed direction to break through, and made a 60-degree emergency stop jump shot, the rhythm was perfect, and the ball was hollow into the net. 9 to 0.

Zhou Xuan's first step is not the fastest, but the rhythm connection is one of the best in the league, once he eats his feints, he will only be killed.

Kobe frowned, he couldn't think of any way to fight the Knicks except to strengthen the offense, and he would have taken the initiative to defend Zhou Xuan last season. Now he is at a level that he has let Delfino pass casually on the international stage, and he really doesn't dare to go up and bring shame on himself.

The interim coach didn't know to call a timeout, the game had just begun, and Kobe Bryant knew very well that he couldn't win today, and the two teams were not at the same level at all.
