Zhou Xuan controlled the ball to the front court, passed the ball to Matthews, and then covered without the ball with Stoudamire and ran to the bottom corner of the weak side.

Matthews relied on his body advantage to hit Crawford with his back, turned around and handed the ball to Zhou Xuan. Smith followed the block to the bottom corner, Zhou Xuan did not force the shot, and hoisted it to Stadameyer, who was low on the left.

Xiao Si took the ball and dribbled to the middle, and threw it head-on with the bounce advantage, avoiding Horford to block the ball and score! 82 to 80.

"Beautiful! Stadameyer scored the winning goal. Yu Jia shouted.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "If it is Zhou Xuan, this ball may be passed to Anderson, it is already empty over there, if the rotation is reversed, the Knicks are outside the three-point line, and it is also an empty position to give Gallinelli 60 degrees." Stoudamire's passing awareness leaves much to be desired. ”

From leading to trailing, the Eagles lost their rhythm a bit, and coach Drew called a timeout. The Hawks were afraid of Anderson and not Pekovic, and D'Antoni's tactics worked.

"It's time to test Drew's level, and the Hawks have to think about how to defend the perimeter, Anderson in the bottom corner," Barkley said. He is as tall as Horford, if Smith goes to defend, the Knicks block and dismantle, and the side man or Horford will have to change the guard Zhou Xuan, and the Stodameyer air cut is also very threatening. ”

"The Knicks have been strong this year because they have more shooters, and it's not without their weaknesses that they've sacrificed rebounding," Smith said. Zhou Xuan also has to actively grab rebounds on the defensive end. It's a waste of talent to put Pekovic and Evans, two excellent rebounders. ”

Drew's arrangement is to defend Zhou Xuan alone, and the outside line accelerates the rotation change, in order not to be at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation, he replaced Bibby in advance and replaced Joe Johnson. "Eagle King" guest point guard.

In this arrangement, the Eagles have a stronger defense and an offense that is all single. Joe Johnson's poor form has not improved, and he is still playing iron. Crawford was also infected by it, missing three points and two shots.

The Knicks are tight on the perimeter and don't protect the rebound enough. Smith delivered a brilliant one-handed dunk, and Horford also grabbed two rebounds from the front court and converted them into goals.

Zhou Xuan was strictly guarded during this time, organized the offense and sent two more assists, and also picked up a backcourt rebound, and the game entered the last minute, and his data reached 17 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. The score was 96-96 and the two sides were tied.

The Hawks possessed the ball, they almost ran out of 24 seconds, Crawford couldn't make a jumper, the ball bounced far away, and Joe Johnson grabbed a valuable frontcourt rebound.

Although Matthews is strong, he also does a poor job of controlling rebounds and lacks the awareness to protect rebounds. Joe Johnson took the ball and wanted to be strong, but Zhou Xuan jumped up from behind and pulled down with the ball. He committed his fourth foul, sending Joe Johnson to the free-throw line.

The Knicks have fouled four times in a single quarter, and even ordinary fouls will send the opponent to the free throw line, Zhou Xuan saw that Stadamire was not under the basket, and did not want the opponent to score easily, so he made a decision immediately.

Barkley said: "Although Zhou Xuan's physical condition is average, he is not soft at all, and there are a lot of such balls on the inside today, and Anderson and Stoudamire are very hesitant and will not foul immediately." If the Knicks had defended a little better inside, the Hawks wouldn't have had a chance today and wouldn't have played so far. ”

Smith said: "Pekovic and Evans didn't play in the fourth quarter, and D'Antoni was still a bit stubborn. Last season, a lot of people questioned that it was not that they didn't have a good substitute, but that D'Antoni didn't like to use substitutes. ”

In fact, if you really get into those two, it may be the Knicks who are unlucky. Pekovic defended poorly, Evans didn't threaten offense, and the Hawks weren't afraid of opponents attacking from the low post. Any coach makes mistakes, not even Popovich. In fact, D'Antoni is still a good coach most of the time, especially on the offensive end, which can cause headaches for opponents.

Joe Johnson is famously big hearted, but today he was in terrible form. At the critical moment, the first free throw was missed, and the second free throw was scored. 96 to 97. And it was only his first free throw of the game, and he shot 3-of-15 from the field.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan controlled the situation, and after going to the frontcourt, he played a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Anderson, followed by Stoudamire's second block, leaving Matthews alone in the low post, and the three big men all went to the line activities, which forced Horford to defend on the perimeter. Otherwise, Matthews catches the ball and attacks in a misplaced attack on the baseline.

Zhou Xuan held the ball to the baseline, took the ball to attract Horford to change defense, and passed to Gallinari in the middle, who faced Crawford with Anderson's off-ball screen.

Gallinari took the ball and dummered, pretended to shoot, and then burst inside, Horford turned back to defend a little slowly, and Crawford had no choice but to foul and send the Italian to the free throw line.

Gallinari shot 90 percent from the free-throw line, making both free throws. 98 to 97.

With 24 seconds left, the Eagles had possession of the ball and coach Drew called a timeout.

After the players went off the field, D'Antoni said: "This ball is mainly on the outside, and it is man-marked, so you have to change the defense in time." Pay attention to the periphery and force them to make mistakes and we win. ”

The strategy is good, if the Eagles don't send an orthodox point guard, then the pressing may work, Crawford is good with the ball, and Zhou Xuan has a way to entangle him. Crawford scored 15 points in the second quarter and 17 at halftime, but the game was over and he only scored 23 points. In the second half, the two of them felt like two people, and the defense of Zhou Xuan and Matthews was crucial.

Drew arranged for Crawford to do the offense and had his players double-block. Joe Johnson is the "Eagle King", but when it comes to the end of the game, the coach doesn't plan to let him shoot. Horford doesn't have an advantage in attacking Stadamyrew, Smith and Marvin Williams don't have much control over their mid-range shots, and the team's top scorer is actually their sixth man. If he had played the same amount of time as Joe Johnson, Crawford would have scored more.

Players from both sides return to the field. Zhang said: "The critical moment has come, the Knicks are not attacking well today, less than 100 points, and this offense must be defended." ”

Yu Jia said: "The Knicks defended well in the final quarter, only allowing the Hawks to score 20 points, and the ball was released. ”

At this time, the rhythm of the players is tested, Joe Johnson receives the ball, although he has a poor hand, Matthews does not dare to relax the defense, in case he shoots a three-pointer at a critical moment is likely to kill the Knicks. Johnson took the ball and retreated, and Crawford and Smith on the right side covered without the ball and got rid of Zhou Xuan.

Joe Johnson passed the ball over, and Zhou Xuan bypassed Smith to chase after him. Smith was no threat with the ball on the perimeter, and he couldn't make a three-point mark. Gallinari and Zhou Xuan formed a trap on Crawford.

Drew, who arranged Crawford's main offense, never expected the Knicks to come with such a hand, Crawford passed the ball to Smith, and Anderson turned to defend it. Smith passed it on to Marven in turn.

If Marvin can hit the three-pointer accurately, this is a very good opportunity. But he took another step forward for stability, and Stadamire let go of Horford's defense, and Marvin missed a jumper.

The Knicks defended successfully, but unfortunately the basket was empty. Horford grabbed the rebound in the front court, and Gallinari retreated to the low post, but he was not tall, weighing only 102 kilograms, and he couldn't get stuck. Seeing that Horford was about to get stronger, Gallinari chose to foul the opponent's shot. Horford went to the free-throw line again.

Horford, a free-throw center who shoots 79 percent this season, withstood the pressure and made both free throws. The Eagles put the score in the lead. 98 to 99.

The Hawks didn't dare to lean on the clock to make a late shot, so they left the Knicks with a six. 8 seconds to attack. Their original plan was to miss the shot, and if they couldn't grab the rebound, they could also use foul tactics.

D'Antoni asked for a timeout. He arranged the tactics and said: "Zhou try to run to catch the ball, and if they are very tight, you decide who to give the ball to." The last ball and double screen......"

Stadamire, Anderson, and Gallinari have the height and accuracy of the head, and it seems that it is easier to get a chance to shoot, but D'Antoni believes in Zhou Xuan more, because Zhou Xuan has scored stunners in all three seasons, and the shooting rate is particularly high.

Drew arranged the most rear-end defense and decided to defend Zhou Xuan alone. "People are marking, we're only one point ahead, and they can also hit the basket, and they have to defend the inside line for everything."

If it is easy to make a layup, it is the most depressing, and in comparison, the shooting percentage of outside shooting is still lower.

Barkley said: "It's another last offense, and I don't know if Zhou Xuan can still do a miracle, I think the Eagles should find a way to stop him from receiving the ball." ”

Smith laughed; "Let's see who to send it to."

The game started, Gallinari was responsible for passing, everyone stood in a line, Stadamire and Anderson blocked and helped Zhou Xuan get the ball, and then cut to the inside.

In 5 seconds, the two Eagles hurriedly retreated to follow, and Zhou Xuan was close to Gallinari and ran to the weak bottom corner.

4 seconds, Stoudeyer and Anderson gave Zhou Xuan double cover in the low post on the left side, and after separation, Xiao Si stayed in the low post, and Anderson went to the bottom corner.

In 3 seconds, Gallinari passed the ball to Zhou Xuan, who was running back. Zhou Xuan turned around and hit the road frame. Hold the ball in your right hand and bring your left hand close. Smith stepped forward from the side and stretched out his hand to prepare to seal it, and Zhou Xuan made a "Buddha worship" feint and changed direction to the left.

His movements are so coherent and the pauses are so realistic that the referee can't blow his wrist at this point, unless he wants to be drowned by the home fans with spit.

1。 In 5 seconds, Horford let go of Stadamire to chase Zhou Xuan's shot, and what he didn't expect was that as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Xuan actually made another "Buddha worship" feint, and flashed from his side to break through the bottom line successfully.

In 1 second, Zhou Xuan jumped over and threw the ball high with his right hand.

The ball flew in the air, the whistle blew at the end of the game, and the basketball landed in the basket accurately! The home fans were boiling, and there was a wave of people outside the stadium.

Yu Jia shouted: "Kill! Zhou Xuan shot the killer shot for the second time this season, and it was a layup after passing two people in a row! It's amazing! ”

Zhang Li said: "His time calculation is very accurate, if he is a little slower, he just can't shoot the ball and lose, how much heart does it take?" The control is so precise that it's hard to believe. ”

The big screen in the stadium gave a replay, and Zhou Xuan left the ball before the end. Zhou Xuan is good at taking advantage of this. Time is running out and the opponent thinks he will shoot, at which point the "Bye-Buddha" feint will surely fool the defender.

Zhou Xuan silently counted the time in his heart, and he had been practicing this trick and was very sure. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smiled, he is the league's No. 1 "lore king"!
