Chapter 540: [Mage Breaking Fist Boss]
"Magic" Johnson said: "As long as Zhou Xuan scores another 15 points, he can break his previous scoring record." His points per game stats will also rise again, and he is more than capable of winning 20+10. It's just that the focus of each game is different, sometimes he scores, sometimes he wins games with assists. ”
Van Gundy said: "Zhou Xuan already reminds me of the pinnacle Arenas. That season, Arenas averaged nearly 30 points per game, along with six. 1 assist. ”
In this game, Zhou Xuan will definitely be on par with Arenas.
The fourth quarter began. In order to make Zhou Xuan more relaxed, the Knicks replaced Douglas again, and Matthews rested. And D'Antoni asked Douglas on the defensive end to defend Kobe Bryant and try his best to entangle.
Douglas didn't play much time and was full of energy. His ability to defend against breakthroughs is also good, and he is a little taller than Zhou Xuan.
At this time, Kobe Bryant went down to rest, and the person who defended Zhou Xuan was Shannon? Brown, Blake replaces Fisher. The Zen master didn't want to lose the game, Kobe Bryant had only rested for 6 minutes before, and the Lakers needed him to rest for a while and calm down. The main points of attack during this period are Gasol and Odom.
Odom scored on his first shot. 97 to 91.
The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan took the ball on the left side and faced Brown. Brown is very physical, and he often delivers great dunks and blocks. But his anti-breakthrough is not as good as Kobe, and his skills are too rough.
Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch twice and moved the frame horizontally, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand, Brown immediately wanted to step forward and get close. If Zhou Xuan really shot like this, it would be right, but it was just a feint, Zhou Xuan immediately changed direction to the left side and broke through successfully, dribbled the ball to the bottom line, and stopped and raised his hand.
Brown was at incredible speed, turned and chased after him, jumping on his side to block it. He jumped at the limit of his own jump, just like flying. It's a pity that Zhou Xuan still feints, and Brown flew over from the side with a stretched movement.
Zhou Xuan's baseline jumper, the ball hollowed into the net. 99 to 91. He scored his 54th point because of Brown's aggressiveness, and the interior players didn't come out to make up for it.
Yu Jia exclaimed: "Zhou Xuan has scored again, he has taken another step towards his personal record, and it has been a long time since a visiting player has played like this at Staples Arena." ”
"Home fans don't want away players to play like that." Zhang Li smiled: "Zhou Xuan is an exception, there are many Chinese fans in Los Angeles who support him, and his performance is enough to conquer the away fans." I just hope that he can force the most behind and not reduce his shots like he did at the beginning of the third quarter. ”
Yu Jia said: "But Zhou Xuan's decision not to attack that section in the third quarter is also the right choice." The Lakers are really bad defensively this year, but their offensive ability is still there, and if you are not careful, you may be reversed. If it weren't for Stoudamire's scoring in the third quarter, relying on Kobe's sharp offense, maybe the Lakers would have led into the fourth quarter. ”
The Lakers attacked, Odom covered on the perimeter, and Brown broke through and gave it to Artest on the strong side, who formed a triangle with Blake and Gasol on the right side and hung it to Gasol.
Gasol singled out Stadameyer, dribbled twice with his back to the middle and then turned back to the baseline to pick up the basketball with his right hand. 99 to 93.
Among the interior players, Gasol's low-post footsteps are a must, his central axis is particularly stable, and he did not fall behind in the face of the Cavaliers led by Yao Ming in the finals last season. He played Jamison more easily, so much so that the Cavaliers had to adjust the lineup for him.
Douglas dribbled to the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan in the middle and Stoudamire covered to run to the right side, Douglas passed to Gallinari first, and the latter handed it to Zhou Xuan. Brown actively pursued the defense and rushed towards the bottom line, and as soon as Zhou Xuan got the ball, he ran in front of him. Zhou Xuan took a big step to his left side with his face, and turned his head to look to the left, Brown hurriedly braked. He took a big step to the left with Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his right hand, using the "killer CROSSOVER", and the bottom line broke through successfully. Without waiting for Gasol to come up from the other side to make up for the defense, Zhou Xuan made a quick stop and jumped and shot in. 101 to 93. 56th individual score.
"Magic" Johnson shook his head and said, "What's going on with the Lakers?" Hurry up and make substitutions to defend Zhou Xuan, it's best to wrap up, it's too easy for him to score. ”
As soon as the words fell, Blake made a mistake in passing. The Lakers' triangular offensive intentions are too obvious. Brown ran outside without the ball on the baseline, and Zhou Xuan let go of Brown in the middle, ran to the left, and cut off Blake's pass to Artest. Blake doesn't see himself as the protagonist, and his mind is full of attacking his teammates.
After breaking the ball, Zhou Xuan ran to the frontcourt, Blake caught up, and Zhou Xuan grabbed a three-point shot on the left side and couldn't score. Douglas rushed to grab the rebound, he was fast, and he jumped high.
Zhou Xuan immediately cut to the bottom line, and when he saw Odom return to the inside line, Douglas did not hit hard, and passed to Zhou Xuan at close range. Zhou Xuan caught the ball and shook it for a while, Blake raised his arm to interfere, and shook again, Zhou Xuan moved sideways and took a 45-degree angle to hit the board and jump the ball. 103 to 93. 58th personal point.
The more Zhou Xuan throws, the more excited he becomes, the devil's training in the past few years has played a role, his body is already a little tired, but it will not affect the shooting feel. He didn't gain weight, he just worked on his strength and muscles, which also made him more energetic and agile.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol received the ball in the low post to Studamayre, squeezed twice and didn't enter the restricted area, and then passed to Artest on the periphery, and then he covered Brown in the middle, Artest passed the ball to the high post, Gasol faced Douglas and couldn't score a jumper.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan ran to catch the ball and hit a jump shot, and Gasol won the rebound. The Zen master called a timeout again, and he felt that the player's defense of Zhou Xuan was not strict enough.
Zhang Li said: "Zhou Xuan is only 2 points away from Arenas' 60 points, there is still time, he will definitely be able to do it." Every season, Zhou Xuan can surprise people. ”
Yu Jia said: "Kobe Bryant hasn't been on yet, he scored 28 points today, 30+ should be no suspense, but Zhou Xuan's score has been twice as much." This is usually what Kobe Bryant does when he plays other teams, and it is very rare to be completely blown up at Staples. ”
Assistant coach Divac is doing the work for the players, and in addition to being in charge of the interior, he is also responsible for telling the players the small details on the defensive end. To put it bluntly, it's how to block the opponent's offensive with small movements. This is the home court of the Lakers, and you can challenge the referee's blowing scale.
Vujacic has left the Lakers, and now the Lakers' style of play is a little cleaner, otherwise Divac may arrange for Vujacic to stumble on Zhou Xuan, which is more effective against Zhou Xuan than using normal means.
At the end of the timeout, Bryant and Fisher came on and replaced Blake and Brown. The Knicks also made substitutions, with Matthews, who was fouled four times, coming on for Douglas. The Lakers are veterans, so they don't have to worry about pressing Zhou Xuan in the frontcourt, if they use it, they are afraid that it will be the Lakers who are unlucky.
Bryant made a mistake on the court, and his body was a little cold. He dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row, changed direction to the right, and the ball was in the center of both hands, and Matthews suddenly stepped forward and reached out to poke the ball forward. Kobe turned slowly, Matthews had a very low center of gravity, killed out like a sprint start, got the basketball, and passed to Zhou Xuan on the left side, Zhou Xuan shook off Fisher and scored a fast-break layup. His 60th score came more easily than he thought. 105 to 93.
The Chinese fans outside the court applauded vigorously, and the Lakers' home court showed signs of defection.
After a few passes, Artest hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to narrow the margin to single digits. 105 to 96.
Then the Knicks also made a mistake in passing, and Gallinari received the ball unsteadily and was slapped away by Artest. The two grabbed together, the ball was tossed aside, and Zhou Xuan and Kobe Bryant fell to the ground at the same time to scramble. Zhou Xuan relied on his speed and made a side pounce to take the lead in getting the basketball. Kobe Bryant was not polite, the two had physical contact and were entangled, and Kobe gave Zhou Xuan an elbow to his head when he got up.
This trick Kobe Bryant has not used for the first time, he elbowed Miller, Battier, and Dunday? Jones and a bunch of others. There are mostly tough guys in the NBA, and most of them get up immediately when they get elbowed, and the referee generally doesn't blow it. But this time Kobe Bryant's elbow was Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan only felt that his head was wooden, and he understood that he had been beaten, and whether he was punched or elbowed, he immediately reacted - hit the street!
This is a good habit he has developed by faking falls for a long time, and he will never suffer dumb losses. Zhou Xuan also knew that it was useless to find a referee theory, and it was king to hit the street. As long as it looks miserable and can't continue the game, the referee can't turn a blind eye. To this day, he still remembers the 2002 World Cup, Brazil vs. Turkey. Rivaldo, Zhou Gaozhuo's favorite star, was smashed by his opponent with a soccer ball, and immediately covered his face and fell to the ground, looking like he had been hit with a mace, and the opponent was immediately sent off. The acting skills and the effects produced by Zhou Xuan were deeply remembered by Zhou Xuan.
This time, he fell more thoroughly, lying directly on the ground and covering his head motionless. The referee blew the whistle and rushed forward to separate the agitated players from both sides.
Interestingly, the Knicks players were just excited, but no one went up to give Kobe a punch, and they all saw Zhou Xuan's fake wrestling skills. In order to strengthen the team's defense, Malone often spends time lecturing the players, one of which is how to rush into the street when someone is violated to make the foul look serious, such as lying on the ground and pretending to be stunned. Vallejo is known as the "actor", and there is Ma Long's credit behind it.
Other people must restrain their emotions and not fight with each other, that is stupid.
So now the Knicks players have a consensus that Zhou Xuan is pretending to be a magic "street spell".
Team doctor Ainsworth came on the field and turned Zhou Xuan over, Zhou Xuan covered his head with his hand, and made an "OK" gesture to Ainsworth covertly. The team doctor was smart enough to continue the examination and cooperate with him.
Zhou Xuan covered his head, shook his head, and slowly got up. At this time, the camera gave a replay, Kobe Bryant first pressed his knee against Zhou Xuan to make it difficult for him to get up, and then elbowed him to the back of the head, obviously intentionally.
The Chinese fans erupted in neat boos. Everyone knows that Kobe Bryant is a famous boxer, and he has practiced Tom Yum to the realm of "Fire Cloud Thief".
