Chapter 615 [Outside Advantage]
Chandler jumped to beat Yao Ming, and the Knicks attacked first.
Seeing Kidd start, Zhou Xuan decided to take the simplest way. During the warm-up, he greeted Kidd, and Kidd whispered to him that his men were merciful, and the No. 1 position was an obvious shortcoming. Terry doesn't start, and the Mavericks don't have a fast guard on the court.
Zhou Xuan controlled the ball over half the court, Carter defended, and Kidd went to talk to Matthews, and he didn't suffer much more than physique.
During this time, Zhou Xuan has been holding his breath, not because he didn't play, but Emma? Watson is gone, he hasn't been near a woman for a while, and he's in good spirits.
Stadamire and Chandler were both on the inside, and the other two pulled away on the perimeter.
Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch to change direction to the right, Carter followed, and Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand. Carter hurriedly moved sideways, but Zhou Xuanhuang did not take a step with his left leg after his left shoulder, and his left hand slapped down and handed it back to his right hand, speeding up.
Carter's center of gravity had lost and he couldn't keep up, Zhou Xuan took a step on the right side of the 60-degree emergency stop jump shot, and the ball hollowed into the net. 2 to 0.
Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan hit two points in the opening game. Against Carter, he has a good chance of attacking on his own. Zhou Xuan's speed is on the No. 2 position, and the advantage is obvious. ”
Su Qun said: "Carter didn't play well last season, he couldn't prevent Zhou Xuan. Stevenson went to the Nets, and now the Mavericks are short of tough defenders. ”
The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki pulled out for Carter to block, and Gallinari switched to interfere. Si followed Marion on the periphery. The strategy worked and Carter sent the ball back on the perimeter. Matthews switched to Nowitzki and interfered closely.
Nowitzki passed Kidd, who in turn hung from Zhou Xuan's head to Yao Ming. Chandler defended, Yao Ming took two steps to the baseline and turned around for a jumper, Chandler jumped up to interfere, successfully sealed his eyes, the ball was deflected, and the rebound was grabbed by Stadameyer.
Zhou Xuan returned to the inside line to get the ball, landed in the battle, and his teammates pulled away again.
Zhou Xuan dribbled under his crotch two times in a row, this time it was a real move, and he accelerated to the right side with the ball. Carter followed sideways, Zhou Xuan paused to take the ball with his right hand, and moved closer with his left hand. Carter stretched out his hand slightly, and Zhou Xuan immediately used the "Buddha worship" feint to change direction to the middle, and stepped back to jump.
Carter turned around and jumped up to block it, but Zhou Xuan's retreat opened up the space again, dodged the defense, and the ball went in. 4 to 0.
Barkley said: "Changing backwards and shooting is what Nowitzki is good at, he often jumps up and down with one leg, and Zhou Xuan jumps with both legs, and he also has a little back, which is difficult to cover once he eats." ”
Smith said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan seems to be planning to kill, and his data in the finals is very good, and it is difficult to limit him with a single defense." ”
The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki took the ball on the right side, dribbled with his back and turned to the middle, and made a "Golden Rooster Independence" jump shot. Matthews was too short to cover after the misalignment. 4 to 2.
D'Antoni intends to play six minutes for Battier to play, whether it is on the international stage or in the NBA, Nowitzki is afraid of the defense of people about two meters, fast, and can keep disrupting the rhythm by maintaining physical contact. Battier had fended him off. Haslem in the 2006 Finals and Jackson in 2007 both made him deflated, and the big man couldn't take advantage of him.
The Knicks attacked, and Marion came out to defend the perimeter. He is particularly strong in his fast-moving, arm-long human defense breakthrough. Last season, he first pestered Kobe Bryant and then Durant did. He has never been selected to the All-Defensive Team in his career, which is very puzzling.
Zhou Xuan relied on the block to get rid of Marion, attracted Nowitzki to change the defense, passed the ball to the periphery Gallinari, and ran to the bottom corner by himself.
Nowitzki followed, and Gallinari hoisted the ball low to the right for Stadamire to misplaced Marion. With a clear advantage in body weight, Stadamire turned and missed a jumper, and Yao Ming won the rebound.
Carter and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, took it to the right and got tangled up by Gallinari and passed to Marion on the perimeter, who in turn gave it to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki dribbled a step, turned and burst into the basket, and Chandler let go of Yao Ming's defense. Nowitzki didn't see a good chance, took the ball and retreated to Yao Ming on the other side. Yao Ming won the ball, and Chandler turned around and defended Yao Ming again. He was on both sides of the basket alone, Yao Ming threw a one-handed shot wide, and Chandler took advantage of the situation and grabbed the rebound.
Matthews rushed out, and Zhou Xuan received a long pass from the backcourt. Matthews confronted Kidd, turned to the right side of the frame and forced a break to score on the basketball. 6 to 2.
Kidd is no longer good, he entered the NBA in 1994 and is now at the end of his career. His role on the defensive end can only be seen when the defensive system is misaligned.
The Mavericks attacked, Kidd passed the ball to Carter, looked for an opportunity on the perimeter, the latter dodged Matthews without the ball, received the ball and attracted the defense and passed to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki misplaced Matthews, dribbled a pull-up jump shot and missed the rebound for Chandler.
After a few more rounds, Zhou Xuan broke through and made Yao Ming foul and hit two free throws, Gallinari hit a three-point shot from the perimeter, and Stadamire scored with a mid-range shot. The Mavericks mainly rely on Yao Ming and Nowitzki to attack.
The Knicks led 13-6 when Mavericks head coach Carlisle called a timeout and their outside offense was denied.
Yang Jian said: "The Knicks' defense in the opening game left a deep impression on people, and they couldn't do anything with the Mavericks in the Finals, and now it seems that bringing in Chandler is worth it!" ”
Su Qun said: "A lot of people are unhappy about sending Pekovic away in the summer, and it's true that the White Bears have a good offense, but I can't see him defending the basket like Chandler all season. He eats feints easily and can't jump. Chandler did a perfect job of interfering with people with the ball under the basket. ”
Barkley commented on the Mavericks' offense. "Kidd doesn't go to the three-point line at all after the ball is now divided, and Marion's perimeter shooting has been getting worse and worse in the past two seasons, tending to be purely blue-collar. Relying on Carter alone, the Mavericks can't open the outside line. ”
"The Knicks have a good perimeter defense, and last season it didn't show up because the interior players were terrible defensively," Smith said. With Chandler's defense, it immediately goes up the next level, and Gallinari only needs to shoot from the perimeter, and no longer needs to retract and defend at any time and fight for muscles with people. And Chandler can also guard against the ball, and he switched positions to interfere with Nowitzki's ball beautifully. ”
Last season, there was a hole in Pekovic, and the Knicks defended one or the other, and they had a chance to block and dismantle, afraid that the opponent's outside big man could shoot. Chandler was not afraid of anything, he was very athletic, just a little thinner. Nowadays, there are no more than 10 strong men in the league who are good at attacking in the low position.
D'Antoni made a substitution, and Battier came on to replace Matthews. He arranged: "Mixed defense, Zhou with Kidd, others in combination. Perimeter Sean and Danilo are on both sides, pay attention to Nowitzki, and the interior line should also pay attention to expanding out to interfere with the shot. ”
After seeing the lineup, Su Qun said with a smile: "Two seasons ago, it was impossible for D'Antoni to line up this formation, four big ones with a height of more than two meters, Zhou Xuan organized it alone, so he could only settle in the positional battle." Influenced by Woodson and Malone, D'Antoni has changed, and he also tasted the sweetness of positional attack last season. ”
Yang Jian said: "The Mavericks have been replaced, Terry has come on the court, replaced Carter, this is to speed up. Carter didn't do well to prevent Zhou Xuan, but Terry was a little shorter than Zhou Xuan. ”
Su Qun said: "The registered height of the two is 188CM, but standing together is indeed Zhou Xuan a little taller." HE GREW TALLER AGAIN AFTER ENTERING THE LEAGUE AND IS NOW AT LEAST 190CM. ”
At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks attacked, Terry played a block in the first round, Gallinari changed the defense, the ball passed to the perimeter, Battier interfered with Nowitzki, kept a step away, and raised his left hand high in front of him. Battier was slower to defend Terry, and his advantage was evident as soon as he misplaced. Zhou Xuan has little defensive pressure on Kidd and can also attack quickly at any time.
Nowitzki saw a bad chance and hoisted it to Yao Ming. Yao Ming took the ball on the right side, dribbled two steps with his back, turned around and jumped the ball in. 13 to 8.
This move can be described as "ten years of sharpening a sword", which has become a major skill of the NBA. No center can make a turnaround jumper as perfect as Yao Ming.
The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan took the ball to Terry, and both passed to Gallinari in the front court. Then the middle and Chandler ran off the ball to the bottom corner of the weak side. Battier and Smalls are on the left, and the bottom corner on the right is empty.
Gallinari passed the ball to Zhou Xuan and ran to the middle, completely emptying the right side, while Chandler cut inside. Yao Ming didn't dare to chase Zhou Xuan, as long as he played to the inside, Chandler would definitely eat Terry to score. He opted to retreat and Terry went after him.
Zhou Xuanyun turned to the bottom corner of the frame, jumped and made a shot, Terry caught up, he was a little slow and didn't cover it, and the ball went in! 16 to 8.
Zhou Xuan's personal 9th point, he is not afraid of shooting three-pointers in the bottom corner now, and he has found a trick to shoot more, as a mid-range shot as high as possible.
The Mavericks attacked, and after a couple of passes, Nowitzki singled out Battier for a jumper that went wide. The Knicks guaranteed that one person interfered with the ball carrier, and the rebound was taken by Stoudmayre.
Knicks positional battle, everyone pulled away, Zhou Xuan singled out Terry, dribbled under the crotch continuously, poked out his right shoulder, and then dribbled to his left hand, Terry moved slightly horizontally, and he dribbled under the crotch to the right side, the action was done in one go, Terry reacted quickly, and followed on the side. Zhou Xuan dribbled with his back to protect the ball, shook his left shoulder lightly, turned to the right and stepped back to bring out the three-point line, and made a jumper in the middle.
This feint shook Terry, he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to choose to take it out without breaking through, and he was pulled away and couldn't be blocked. Zhou Xuan scored a three-pointer in the middle. 19-8, 12th personal point.
Zhou Xuan hit two three-pointers in a row, and Carlisle did not call a timeout again, allowing the players to adjust themselves.
Everyone can see that the Knicks have a clear advantage on the outside, and their interior defense has been strengthened. In the next round, after the Mavericks passed several times, Marion hung to Yao Ming, Yao Ming singled out Chandler, turned and missed a jumper, and Stadameyer got the rebound.
The Mavericks' style of play was too monotonous, Chandler carried Yao Ming, and was ready to defend the baseline and turn around to shoot. If Yao Ming's efficiency is reduced and he can't attract the bag, it is very bad for the calf.
