Gentry hurriedly replaced Amondson and replaced him with Tim? Thomas, alas, it was too late.

This substitution is to lower the Suns' defense and strengthen the offense. Randolph made two consecutive singles to Stadameyer, and Margeti also broke through to cause a foul, hitting both free throws.

Defensively, the Warriors switched to perimeter three-pointers, and although the Suns were able to score, the margin failed to narrow. 113-106, the Warriors won nine in a row.

Zhou Xuan then scored another mid-range shot, scoring a double-double of 25 points, 3 rebounds and 15 assists, and Randolph scored 22 points and 11 rebounds. Nash had 21 points, five rebounds and 15 assists, while Stoudamire also had 26 points and eight rebounds.

After the game, the reporter asked Zhou Xuan how he felt, and he replied: "It's very nice to be able to compete with Nash, we all played very well, and we did some details better, so we won this game, and I hope we can win the next game." ”

Nelson Sr. is also very low-key, saying that the team wins on offense, and there are still a lot of problems in defense, and now is not the time to be happy.

It was a wonderful game, and many netizens thought that Zhou Xuan was already a star at the same level as Nash. This is the gospel for Chinese fans, and in the future, we can see beautiful team cooperation, instead of Yao Ming turning and shooting in the low post again and again.

However, because of the data problem, it is still difficult for Zhou Xuan to prove that he can defend, and people only think that he and Nash explode each other.

In the next game, the Warriors returned to their home court to play the Suns, and the winning streak was ended. The score was 105 to 115.

The Suns studied ways to deal with the Warriors, strictly guarded against others, and let Zhou Xuan fight by himself. Zhou Xuan's statistics are very beautiful, cutting 28 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, but he and his teammates did not cooperate, in the third quarter, the Suns were powerful outside, Nash, Barbosa, and Richardson hit four three-pointers in a row, leading the team to a 14-0 attack wave, leading the Warriors by up to 18 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors fought to catch up, closing the gap but failing to reverse it. This one is like a remake of the previous one, but the Suns' offense is better.

The loss did not affect the popularity of Zhou Xuan and the Warriors. After nine straight wins, they are back in fourth place in the West and are the favorites, averaging 111 per game. 8 points, first in the league, 4 points ahead of the second-placed Lakers.

The Warriors are conceding an average of 106 per game. A score of 7 is also scary. Winning is about scoring more points than your opponent. But fans like to watch high scores, so they don't care whether they defend or not. Even when only Zhou Xuan and Randolph supported the team, they were all firepower, a group of newcomers, and the unselected rookies played very lively, which alone can attract attention.

The popularity of stars over the years can be seen in the preferences of fans, O'Neal, Iverson, Maddie, Kobe, James, Wade, popular superstars are all good at scoring. Some stars who are not good at scoring will have a hard time making it to All-Stars. Like Andrey? Miller, he has the strength, the famous Iron Man in the league, has won the assist king, but he has never been an All-Star.

After the loss to the Suns, the Warriors had a day off to host the Jazz.

It was a revenge fight and Biedrins did not make the squad. He was not injured, and his playing time began to shorten in the two games against the Suns. This unexplained break has sparked speculation that the Warriors will trade before the trade deadline.

Without a starting center, Nelson Sr. began to experiment again, allowing Margeti to appear in the power forward position, and Zach Randolph as the center and playing small-ball tactics. Azubuke and Morrow also made the starting lineup. There is only one person on the field who is more than two meters tall, and that is Randolph, who is also only 206CM.

With such a seemingly unreasonable lineup, the Warriors took a big lead in the first quarter, as long as they grabbed the backcourt rebound, the Warriors immediately launched a fast attack, and the three of them ran to the frontcourt, and the Jazz couldn't defend at all.

The Jazz are a team of muscular sticks, full of strength, but not fast. Ronnie? Brewer, who is the core of the Jazz's perimeter defense, has played against Randolph on the court, and this time he can only be forced to play against the light Moreau and the impactful Azubuike. Okura went to the perimeter, Deron and Myers burst in, causing a dislocation, and even if Oku could go back, he couldn't prevent the Warriors' perimeter.

The best thing is that the Warriors' defense did not suffer, but the defense was better than on the court, the Jazz's power forward Millsap is not tall, he plays on his body, Margeti is not afraid of this, and his efficiency in the joint defense has been greatly reduced. Morrow was sent to defend Oku, and he stood on the perimeter to interfere with the shot, Oku scored a lot, but once he didn't score, it was a counterattack.

Ellis played with the bench and shot as much as he could in the second quarter, which also put a lot of defensive pressure on the Jazz, and no one on the outside of the Jazz bench could guard him.

After playing the Suns, Nelson Sr. returned to small-ball tactics again, and it achieved obvious results. 116-96, 20 points at home to beat the Jazz.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Nelson Sr. said: "When a good team starts to get into shape, you can see very clearly how it works, and I think playing like this at the moment is how we are playing to the best of our ability. ”

And just a month ago, the Warriors were still busy raising the team's height, and they sent Biedrins and Brandon in one go. Wright and Anthony? Randolph, every big man went up and tried it, but the effect was very mediocre, whether it was a joint defense or a mixed defense, it was not successful enough in the defense of the breakthrough link. And when the little men Moro and Margeti found their right place, the team started to get better.

Such a change also had a wide impact on the Warriors' offense, Randolph's pressure was reduced a lot, no opponent continued to harass him or even wrap up, and Zhou Xuan also got a more spacious organizational space, and the players on the court could shoot and pull the formation apart. The team went back to the run-and-gun tactics they had been sticking to for the past two seasons.

In this game, Margeti had 24 points and 7 rebounds. For his disciples, old Nelson did not hesitate to praise him. 'If he can play in three positions, then he will improve the team a lot, and I don't know how the opponents will be able to defend him in all three positions, I don't think they can do that, especially when Randolph pulls him out.

Losing this game, the Jazz were ninth in the West before the All-Star break. Sloan said in an interview that Boozer's absence has affected the depth of the team's roster, and he doesn't blame the players for not working hard. In fact, they've already spelled.

Even worse than the Jazz is the Houston Rockets.

After Yao Ming's injury, Maddy returned and vowed to help the team win. He did it last season, and the Rockets were so focused that even Mutombo played well, setting an astonishing winning streak. This time, though, Maddie was just talking.

Maddie's performance is like Adidas's advertising slogan, "You're tricked, every time I score 40 points, do you really think that I did it alone?" He shot less than 40 percent from the field, the most on the team, and his eyes defended to lead the team to a wave of three straight defeats, and then announced a break.

The current Rockets are mainly supported by Scola, Battier, and Artest, and the starting center is Hayes, and no one still thinks they can make the playoffs.

Interestingly, unlike the previous few times when I was disappointed with the Rockets, a group of fans discussed it online, not many people mentioned the Rockets, and they were used to Yao Ming's injury. The unanimous call on the Internet is: "We want to watch the Warriors game, we want to watch Zhou Xuan!" ”

In the apartment, Zhou Xuan was watching TV on the sofa, Nie Yuyan was preparing lunch in the kitchen, and the next game was still at home, the opponent was the New York Knicks, because it was facing a weak team, so the team was on holiday.

Nie Yuyan really likes to cook, she is a virtuous woman, and Zhou Xuan feels very lucky every noon.

The phone rang, and he picked it up. "Hey, Mitchell, what's the matter?"

"You go online, I'll give you the concept art of the sneakers, as long as you agree, the star weekend will be officially launched."

Zhou Xuan is on the AIM software, a chat-based software suitable for online chat, voice, video, and sending pictures, which is mostly used by Americans, similar to China's QQ.

Zhou Xuan looked at it after receiving the picture, this sneaker is really very individual, with quaint patterns on both sides, and a small wing pattern, and it does protrude a little, which reminds Zhou Xuan of Saint Seiya's helmet. The color is dark gold, and it looks very flamboyant.

"That's it, it's beautiful, the protrusion on both sides won't hurt me, right?"

"No, Nike has experts who have studied it, and you can't trust their quality, then there are no shoes that can get into your eyes." Mitchell paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Also, on the day I beat the Knicks, I want to take someone over again, and another big company is looking for you to endorse, the cost is very high, I think it's okay, Pepsi." ”

Pepsi has won the hearts of young people with its accurate positioning of youth, fashion and passion, and has become "young people's cola". According to the survey, PepsiCo has now surpassed Cocaco to become the No. 1 carbonated beverage brand in China.

Zhou Xuan refused. "Forget it, I want to endorse something else."

"What? You didn't even listen to the price. Mitchell was stunned.

"It's not a good thing, I don't drink it myself, but I advertise and pretend to like it, isn't it a lie? If all the people who worship me are young people who like to exercise, how can they exercise when they drink this bone every day? Endorse something else, it doesn't matter if the price is low, non-carbonated, functional drinks are OK. Zhou Xuan said seriously: "Confucius said: 'Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself', I will not speak for what I don't like." ”

If you drink too much cola, your teeth will be corroded, which is caused by the action of acidic substances. In addition, cola contains caffeine, which stimulates the heart muscle to contract, accelerate heartbeat and breathing; It will stimulate gastric acid secretion and harm the stomach and intestines; The phosphoric acid in cola will reduce the absorption of calcium in the body, affecting bone growth and normal height development. Children and adolescents who are in the growth and development period need sufficient calcium to make the bones grow and develop normally, maintain good bone metabolism, and make the bone density reach the best condition, so it is not suitable to drink carbonated drinks. Zhou Xuan didn't want to hurt anyone.

Mitchell was silent for a moment and smiled: "Okay, listen to you, it's good to be principled." ”
