As soon as the players came out, countless fans held signs in support of Paul, eager for CP3 to defeat "The Wizard".

Zhou Xuan stood in the middle of the field, took a deep breath, and recalled his struggle for more than two years, his career started from beating the wasp shot. At that time, he was quite far from Paul, just a role player. Now, he has become the absolute master of the team's attack.

Paul said hello to Zhou Xuan and shook hands.

Paul said: "Stephen Zhou, your performance is amazing, I have been looking forward to this fight for a long time. ”

"Me too, I can only be called the number one defender if I beat you. I want to prove this season that I'm the best in the number 1 position. Zhou Xuan smiled.

"Just give it a try."

Of course, Zhou Xuan wanted to try, and when he shook hands with Paul, he was thinking about Paul's height. With a little bit of space, he should be able to dodge the lid in front of Paul. He doesn't want to keep blocking and pick-and-roll like he used to do against the Hornets, but intends to single-handedly take on Paul head-to-head.

With 66 points scored in a single game and his popularity has increased further, Zhou Xuan's mentality has changed, and he firmly believes that he can beat anyone.

The players stood in the middle of the court, and the Knicks started five Zhou Xuan, Azubuuk, Matthews, Gallinari, and Stoudmaire. Zhou Xuan asked D'Antoni about Azubuk's idea, and D'Antoni immediately let him into the starting line-up, without using Fields, intending to brush the data.

The Hornets five are Paul, Belinelli, Ariza, West, Okafor.

Stoudamire jumped the ball to win Okafor, Azubuike received the ball and passed to Zhou Xuan, and the Knicks attacked first. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to the three-point line, waved his hand to let his teammates pull away, and Paul defended.

The four of them are all out of the line, the left and right side bottom corners and 60 degrees, to maximize the space, Stadameyer did not stand under the basket, as long as someone makes up for Zhou Xuan, there will be a vacancy immediately.

Paul lowered his center of gravity and prepared to prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through, and Zhou Xuan dribbled twice under his crotch at the top of the arc and accelerated to the right. Paul's judgment is very accurate, and he is quick to fit closely. Zhou Xuan hit his back, shook his right shoulder slightly, and turned to the left.

Paul can make the best defensive team because of accurate prediction and the ability to prevent breakthroughs. He followed Zhou Xuan's turn, and when he stretched out his right hand to wait for the opportunity to break the ball, he found something that surprised him - what about the ball?

Zhou Xuan didn't have the ball in his left hand, and he made a realistic feint to the limit, the European "liar" Tom? Connors' man couldn't pass the ball. Zhou Xuan shook his shoulders and shot the ball in a straight line, leaving the ball in place. He dared to do this because of contrarian thinking. Paul couldn't have guessed that he would dare to play like that in the opening scene.

When Paul was surprised by where the ball went, Zhou Xuan turned in the opposite direction and to the right. The right hand controlled the basketball, passed Paul in one step, broke through successfully, jumped to the basket, Okafor stepped forward to make up for the slow, and Zhou Xuan scored on the basketball. 2 to 0.

TNT Radio commentator Ross Barkley exclaimed: "It's such a goal in the opening game, it's so beautiful, I've never seen anyone use this kind of feint in an NBA game." ”

Smith laughed: "Paul was deceived by him, and this is a surprise win." Zhou Xuan has performed street ball stunts in the game many times, feasting the eyes of fans. ”

On the CCTV5 side, Su Qun said excitedly: "As soon as the opening scene, the mage cast a magic. ”

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan's style of play is becoming more and more gorgeous. ”

The Hornets attacked, and Paul was very faceless in the opening game, and he had to single out Zhou Xuan if he wanted to get back on the court, otherwise the Knicks' momentum would overwhelm the Hornets.

"Come on." Zhou Xuan shouted.

Paul continued to dribble under his crotch and burst to the left side, and Zhou Xuan followed. Paul shifted to the right and was entangled again. He took the ball and retreated, then dribbled under his crotch and then broke through to the left side, Zhou Xuan was still in front of him, not close, and always maintained a certain distance, which could interfere with the shooting. This distance was very uncomfortable for Paul. You can make a move, but you don't think it's a good opportunity. There is room for breakthrough, but it can't be shaken off. Finally he chose to jump, Zhou Xuan immediately jumped up and sealed his eyes, and the ball popped out of the frame. Stadamire got stuck and grabbed the rebound.

Zhou Xuan retreated to get the ball and did not break fast. When his teammates pulled away from the frontcourt, he singled out Paul again. This time he gave up the middle to Stadamyer, went to the left and started "herewego" with the ball! Continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, small steps moved forward into the three-point line.

Anyone who sees the ball in this way will feel insulted, and Paul is even more so, Zhou Xuan began to "play" at the beginning, and it seemed that he did not take him seriously, but performed on the street court. He moved in broken steps, getting closer and closer to Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan held the ball in his left hand, probed his left shoulder, took a step, and brought his right hand closer.

Paul remembered his usual "worship Buddha" feint, and suspected that Zhou Xuan wanted to change direction, so he didn't step forward. Zhou Xuan pulled it up at 60 degrees and threw it quickly. Paul was a little shorter than Zhou Xuan, and he jumped slowly, and he couldn't block it, so he could only seal his eyes, but before his hand blinded Zhou Xuan, the ball had already been thrown and hit again. 4 to 0.

The Hornets fans all quieted down, and Paul's eagerness to abuse Zhou Xuan did not appear, and there were only Zhou Xuan's sharp singles.

Hornets head coach Monty said in his heart: Chris, you must win him, if you can't prevent it and need to help defend Zhou Xuan, this game will not be able to play.

Most teams lose like this, including Zhou Xuan, as long as the ball runs on one side, it takes two rotations to change positions, and it is difficult to block the shot. Once the Knicks make a three-pointer, they are unstoppable. Since the start of the season, the Knicks have been the league's most three-pointers.

The Hornets attacked, Paul contradicted whether to play singles again, and Zhou Xuan was good at heads-up. But if you don't fight alone, it is tantamount to showing weakness, Zhou Xuan has already hit two in a row.

"4 to 0." Zhou Xuan was two steps away from Paul and said loudly. He said a fact, but it was the best provocation.

Paul gave up on the pass, lowered his center of gravity, didn't make any feints, and burst towards the right. Zhou Xuan followed sideways, the two had physical contact, Paul was not tall, weighed 79 kilograms, very strong, physical confrontation would not disrupt his dribbling rhythm, and he reached the bottom line in one breath.

Zhou Xuan scolded in his heart: Amare, you are too real, right? In this case, why don't you hurry up and let go of Okafor, who can't shoot, to help cover this guy?

Stadameyer is innocent, he has seen too much of the ancient Chinese art of war, and thinks that the contest between Zhou Xuan and Paul is similar to a heads-up between military generals, and it is only fair that no one else is allowed to interfere.

With no one coming up to help the defense, Paul turned around and threw a jumper in the middle. 4 to 2.

Zhou Xuan couldn't reach it, he was a little taller than Paul, but he didn't have ****'s arm span and Superman's bounce. When he first joined the NBA, he covered some hats, and that was because the opponent didn't know him, and the side defense had an opportunity. Now that he has become a star, opponents are paying more and more attention to his every move, and it will be difficult to sneak attack again.

In the next round, Zhou Xuan beckoned to Stadamier, and Xiao Si immediately blocked and dismantled in the middle. West switched defenses and handed Matthews to Okafor in the bottom corner. There was a clear misalignment on the pitch at this point, with Gallinari facing Belinelli.

Zhou Xuan didn't pass, dribbled the ball to the right baseline, went towards Okafor, and ran to protect the ball between Okafor and West.

West felt that Zhou Xuan's actions were really arrogant, and one person wanted to attract the attention of two big men. At this time, Azubuuk and Stoadamire covered without the ball, got rid of Ariza, and cut in the middle.

West didn't go back to the inside to block Azubuike, Paul followed up in the low post, Okafor didn't go inside, and Zhou Xuan almost crashed into his arms. When he was about to reach the bottom line, Zhou Xuan took the ball with both hands, retreated and threw the ball high with one hand, which was a standard throwing action and flew over West's head. West is a player who doesn't like to jump, so he just stretched out his hand.

The ball was thrown very slowly, and it fell down the middle. Azubuike squeezed Paul away with his strength, received the ball with both hands in the middle, and scored the basketball. 6 to 2. Zhou Xuan sent a clever assist.

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan's pass was just right, neither of the two inside lines went into the basket to defend, and Azubuike scored easily. ”

Su Qun said: "Ariza blocked Xiao Si on the periphery, if Xiao Si cut the ball empty, he would definitely be deducted." Zhou Xuan opened with Paul as a breakthrough attack. ”

Being regarded as a member of the best defensive team for breakthroughs, Paul couldn't be more aggrieved.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan was looking for a block, Paul stopped attacking, and played a blocker with West, and Gallinari changed defenses. Paul passes the ball to West in the middle of the singles Zhou Xuan. Matthews let go of Belinelli to form a bag. West turned and passed the ball outside the three-point line, and Zhou Xuan rushed to Belinelli.

Belinelli first started his career with the Warriors, and his characteristics are similar to those of Anthony? Morrow, like that, he throws when he catches the ball. Zhou Xuan changed positions quickly, but he still couldn't stop him from shooting, and the ball hollowed into the net. 6 to 5.

The Knicks attacked, and several people were pulled to the outside, and this time Zhou Xuan played very simply, handing it over to Gallinari on the periphery, and letting him single out his Italian compatriots. THE HEIGHT 208CM IS AGAINST THE UPPER 196CM, WHICH HAS OBVIOUS ADVANTAGES.

The joint defense is prone to this kind of problem, and the two attracted the attention of the interior in the bottom corner. Gallinari received the ball and stepped with his right foot, retracted the perimeter and pulled it up, the ball bounced out of the frame, and the rebound was picked up by Okafor.

The Hornets broke fast, Paul passed to Ariza, and the latter gave Belinelli, who wanted to take advantage of the heat to do another one, and faced Azubuke to grab a three-point shot. Ariza rushed to grab the rebound, and Matthews saw that he was too deep into the basket and had to choose a foul.

Ariza still made good free throws, hitting both free throws. 6 to 7.

Zhou Xuan gestured and passed the ball to Gallinari on the right side again, and then the middle and Stoudamire covered without the ball and cut to the right. West was very uncomfortable again, switching to Zhou Xuan, as long as the opponent passed the ball to the middle, Stadameyer could single out Paul, but he still had to follow Zhou Xuan, because Gallinari passed the ball.

Zhou Xuan rushed to the bottom line after receiving the ball. At the same time, Matthews ran to 60 degrees to the line, and Gallinari and Stoudamire cut to the basket without the ball in the middle.

West just wanted to retreat, Zhou Xuan stopped the frame in front of him, held the ball in his right hand, and approached with his left hand, West had to rush up and reach out to interfere, otherwise it would be troublesome enough to hang into the inner line.

Zhou Xuan's "worship Buddha" feint changed to 45 degrees, shook a step away, Paul rushed up from the side to block again, a step slower, Zhou Xuan's jump shot wiped the board. 8 to 7.

Zhou Xuan scored his sixth point, and his hands were hot and hot!
