On the 17th, the Knicks beat the Hawks again at home.

Look at the starting Eagles is good, the bench is too bad. Shervin Mark, Mike Scott, Gustavo Ayon, Katier Martin and others want to be famous, to have strength or not, to fight low hits and lack specialties. Elton Brand is also old, shooting inaccurately and moving slowly. Barely a meat shield in the low position, not tall yet. Pumper Louis Williams is out with an injury.

Zhou Xuan only played three quarters and scored 15 points and 10 assists.

On the 20th, the Knicks challenged the Pistons away.

The Pistons were the most surprising team of the season. The inside line is not weak, and the partners of Monroe and Drummond are full of momentum. In the summer, Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings were brought in with high salaries, and the strength of the outside offensive and defensive ends was strengthened.

With the 8th pick in the first round, the long-named scoring guard Kentaveos Cardwell Pope, the return of Billups, and the substitutions of Starkey and Singler, the lineup seems to be in the top five in the East. The result was 2 wins and 8 losses in the opening game.

Experts have long said Jennings is a cancer, and Pistons manager Joe Dumas doesn't believe it. He has been listening to fans discuss the historical status of "Zhan Huang", although he does not have a championship, but he has the strength. (Is that talking about Jennings?) As a result, I found that Jennings had one skill, and that was striking iron. As a point guard, the team has the most shots and the lowest shooting percentage, which is unimaginably poisonous.

The NBA Pistons and Bucks made a deal to trade Blanton Knight and two other players for Jennings on a three-year, $25 million contract. As soon as the deal was completed, it was criticized by local reporters, saying that the Pistons general manager traded for the sake of the trade in order to keep his position.

Now that the criticism is stronger, Jennings doesn't look as good as Knight.

Josh Smith is also worse than he was with the Eagles, with a slump across the board. He shot a career-high 33 three-point percentage. 1%, but he loves to shoot three-pointers, and his shooting percentage has dropped to a new career low.

At this time, many teams were glad that they did not bring in Josh Smith, who was very sought-after in the free agency market in the summer, and just wanted a high salary, which scared many teams away.

After the game began, the Knicks continued to play misplaced pick-and-roll tactics. Before Bosh and Jefferson arrived, the Knicks focused on high post pick-and-rolls, and guards broke through shots or split shots. These two have outstanding individual ability, and an important adjustment this year is to switch to side off-ball cover to help defenders get rid of it, so that it is easier for interior players to cut into the air, and on the side, the two big men can also ensure the shooting percentage. And Anderson is also very strong in high blocking, he shoots the most accurately, and is a famous shooter in the league.

Jennings exposed his botched defensive prowess. After misalignment, he was casually beaten by Jefferson and Bosh. Drummond, who averaged a double-double per game, looked like a brush, and he knew that he was staring at rebounds and didn't like to pounce on defenders. Matthews hit five three-pointers and worked together in the same way, catching the ball after running back.

Josh Smith's defensive ability can't be played at all, the two guards are too easy to let the opponent break through, and Smith is empty as soon as he makes up the defense.

Zhou Xuan had 6 points and 13 assists in the half, and he had been sitting on the bench in the second half, with a difference of more than 30 points, so there was really no reason to go up.

The Pistons hit the iron crazily on the outside, and after the inside foul, Drummond made a three-point free throw, and 41% of the free throws were amazing.

Monroe is now thinking about how to escape Motor City, he is a restricted free agent after this season, and if the Pistons match the offer, he will have to languish here for many more years. The best thing to do is to sign up for one year and leave when you become a fully free person.

Unless a super-rookie is drafted, the Pistons are unlikely to regain their Brown glory until they trade Jennings.

On the 20th, the Knicks returned home to play against the Pacers after nine consecutive wins.

The Pacers have a good schedule this year, with 6 wins and 4 losses, sitting fourth in the East and inside the playoffs. Paul George is quite beautiful, and the MVP list in the first phase is second in the league.

Compared with Zhou Xuan, who won the Player of the Week in a row, George is still a lot worse, he can only score by himself, and he has a lot of shots, and his breakthrough ability is average, and he can't help his teammates become stronger.

In the summer, the Pacers brought in the Bucks' George Hill as the starting No. 1 pick, but Hill is not a playmaker either. Sam Porter's passing could not be practiced, and the problem of organizing the attack was never solved.

Zhou Xuan hit another 10 assists in the first quarter.

There are always people who say how good Hibbert's defense is, and although the number jù is poor, his role is not reflected in the number jù. For example, Hibbert's anti-pick-and-roll is very efficient, in addition to resisting people in the low post, it can also interfere with the guard's breakthrough and help defend and send blocks.

So what if the guards don't break through, the big guys don't cut in the air, and they all shoot outside? Hibbert's answer was that he was standing on the edge of the box and watching.

Zhou Xuan relied on Jefferson to block and get rid of the opponent, and scored easily with two mid-range shots, only chasing defense from the side, Hibbert stood in the horn position to lower the center of gravity and only stretched out his hand.

Jefferson covered on the side, Matthews ran to the line, Hibbert also stood and watched, let Sam Porter chase after the defense, and then Matthews hit a three-pointer.

In the second half of the Pacers, the Pacers made a substitution, Jefferson cut into the air after covering the side, Zhou Xuan hoisted the ball to the left low post, Hibbert finally stopped standing and watched, but was resisted by Jefferson and scored in the penalty area.

Su Qun said with a smile: "Hibbert often plays star numbers against Bosh, but unfortunately Jefferson is his opponent today." Last season, the Jazz played two games against the Pacers, and he was badly abused by Jefferson. ”

Yang Jian sighed: "Hibbert is too soft, and he can't do anything with Jefferson on the offensive end, and he can't squeeze into the basket." ”

HIBBERT IS 218CM TALL AND WEIGHS 132 KG, AND HE IS NOT AS STABLE AS JEFFERSON IN THE LOWER SET. He also has a mediocre passing awareness, he is so big, his vision is said to be very broad, and he averages only 1 assist per game. 1 pc. This assist was often the mistake of the opponent in the 30 minutes, and it was counter-attacked from an undifficult long ball from the back.

Jefferson averaged 2 per game. One assist is often cited as a lack of responsiveness, which is twice as much as Hibbert.

In order to improve mobility and defend the perimeter, coach Vogel reduced Hibbert's playing time and let Masimmi play more. Masimmi's offense was even worse.

It was only at half-time, and the difference between the two sides widened to 26 points. The Pacers were also cheated once this season, they brought in Bynum, but this guy didn't do anything to get money, his shooting percentage was only 40%, and he was very inactive on the defensive end. He played five minutes off the bench before Vogel couldn't take it anymore and asked him to sit back on the bench.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Pacers were abused by Jefferson on the inside, and the game went into garbage time.

This time Bosh played a supporting role, and most of the shooting opportunities were given to Jefferson. Jefferson didn't disappoint his teammates either, chipped in a double-double of 38 points and 13 rebounds. Hibbert had 3 points and 5 rebounds.

When Jefferson made a 2+1 shot for the last time, he clenched his fists and yelled, venting the resentment in his heart. In the Jazz, he met Hibbert and hit once, and led the team to the playoffs, but he didn't get the corresponding evaluation.

Zhou Xuan exploded Sam Porter and Hill were also very sparse, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds, 18 assists and 2 steals. After 10 games, Zhou Xuan's number was 14. 2 points 1. 8 rebounds and 18. 4 assists 2. 5 steals. Shooting percentage 59. 6% and 46 three-point shooting. 1%。 This number jù is already super-divine.

Zhou Xuan's average number of shots per game is only 8. 2 times, plus an average of 6 per game. One free throw can score more than 14 points, which is super efficient. He has only scored 20+ points once in 10 games, and everything else is average.

After the game, the reporter asked: "Many people say that you are the stone Buddha in the No. 1 position, and you play steadily." What do you think? ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Is it stable?" I was the top scorer the previous season, but now my score has dropped by less than 15 points. ”

The reporter said: "But you have the most assists in a single season in history, and you also averaged a record number of assists per game in the playoffs last season, so why would you make this change?" ”

"The teammate's attack power is too strong. I've said that too many times, and with players like Al, Chris, Chandler, Ryan, Wesley, I can't help but pass the ball to them. They're taller than me, and it's easier to get shots if they're out of position. When I started to play hard, I wasted a lot of energy, but the result was the same, and of course I was willing to use simple methods to complete the attack. ”

The reporter said: "People want you to break the all-time record for assists per game in a single season, are you confident? ”

"I'm not modest, I'm fully confident that I can break Stockton's average record per game, not because I value the numbers, but because my teammates are destined to keep me above 15+ assists, that's the minimum standard. By the way, you can call me to count jù brushes, because it's so easy, and I feel a lot like brushes. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

The star who dares to call himself a "number of brushes", Zhou Xuan is the first in the whole league. It doesn't matter what he says, even if he is a brush, he must be crowned "the first in history", no one has ever been able to type this kind of number before, and there is no one who is close.

Even if Stockton's 9 assist kings are not as eye-catching as Zhou Xuan's table, the record of 9 assist kings in the future is likely to be broken, and now Zhou Xuan has three, and this year's eighty percent is the fourth.

Bosh and Jefferson said good things about Zhou Xuan together, and it became a habit for Knicks players to please the boss. Because of Zhou Xuan, the popularity of both of them began to improve.

Bosh is back as a giant and could well end up as a Star-Star starter in the All-Star voting that has just begun.

Jefferson's celebrity votes are also very high, and the main popularity boost is still outside the court, with Chinese merchants coming to him to endorse sneakers. In the past, Jefferson relied almost entirely on his annual salary to play, and he couldn't attract advertisers at all. Now he has completed the salted fish turnaround in ten games. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the Knicks don't have a game, and Jefferson thanked Zhou Xuan in advance in an interview.

The reporter asked Zhou Xuan: "Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, how are you going to spend it?" ”

"Stay at home and have some good rest, eat some good food, and I'll cook it myself. I don't plan to go out for any activities, I have friends who come to my house, it's as simple as that. ”

Zhou Xuan had already said that he would have dinner with his friends, and the three Olsen sisters, Taiwo, Gilmour and others would all go, and it would be very lively.
