Chapter 657 [Critical Fourth Battle]
During the break, the All-Season All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team for the regular season were also announced.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Zhou Xuan were all on the first team. Among them, Zhou Xuan and James were unanimously selected. Howard is the NBA's No. 1 center for the fifth year in a row, while Paul is on the first team for the second time in his career, and the two lead the rebounding and steals charts respectively this season.
Kevin Loew, Blake Griffin, Andrew Bynum, Tony Parker and Kobe Bryant were all named to the second team.
The third team consists of Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade.
Paul defeated Zhou Xuan and was named to the All-Defensive Team for a while.
Also selected for the defensive team are James, Ibaka, Tony Allen, and Howard.
This is the first time in his career that Ibaka and Allen have been named to the All-Defensive First Team. It is worth mentioning that Chandler, who was voted the best defensive player, did not make the cut. The All-Defensive Team is voted on by the NBA's 30 head coaches, and the All-Defensive Player is voted on by journalists. The coaches still don't look down on Chandler.
The players selected for the second team are Rondo, Zhou Xuan, Lore Deng, Garnett, and Chandler.
The overall defense is good, and it is difficult for players to get into the best lineup, not to mention that Zhou Xuan is the object of the league's support. In fact, he has put very little effort into the defensive end this season, and has generally been the top scorer of the opposition by swing men. He's just more efficient when he limits players in the same position. This is also stained with Chandler's light to a certain extent, even if the defender breaks in, he has to pass Chandler's level.
This season, Zhou Xuan once again had a bumper harvest in terms of personal honors, and Kobe Bryant was not selected for the best defensive team. The Lakers are losing their defense, and the coaches won't vote for him.
The Chinese media fully promoted Zhou Xuan, and when Yao Ming was out, Chinese fans were the only one left to watch. And Yao Ming can't enter the best team now, and he can't compare with him in popularity.
Before the start of the fourth game, Yao Ming called Zhou Xuan and said: "You can be careful not to get injured, the people of the Basketball Association will definitely look for you, and you have to fight in the Olympics." ”
"I won't get hurt, and if I win the championship, I have the physical strength to play in the Olympics, so let them rest assured."
After playing the finals, it was the end of June, and he participated in the training camp and then played the Olympic Games, and there was very little rest time, but Zhou Xuan was willing. It's not about making money, it's about glory, and he felt very excited to watch the Olympics when he was a child, even if he couldn't win the championship, it was worth remembering to be able to represent the national team once. Playing in the NBA, he represents the individual, not the country.
"We strive to create the best record, and Yi Jianlian is also waiting to join forces with you."
"How's he doing?"
"It's good, he played okay in the second half of the regular season, and the Mavericks should give him a contract."
Because of playing next to Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian regained some confidence. How he plays in the national team, he plays in the Mavericks, and he will not mess around. Heywood is likely to leave next season, Odom's sluggish form may also be traded, and Yi Jianlian has room to play. Zhou Xuan is also happy for him, although the salary is not high, it is good to stay in the NBA and have a ball to play.
After chatting about basketball for a while, the two hung up the phone. Zhou Xuan began to listen to the music and think about how to play the game. James is stronger than the original, and if the score is equalized in the next game, the Heat will play morale, and the Knicks cannot afford to lose.
Miami fans also knew the importance of Game 4 and changed into a uniform white outfit to once again create a sea of white heat in an attempt to put pressure on the Knicks players.
When Zhou Xuan appeared, he actually saw a fan playing a still of Emma Watson, which was not to support him, but a still of the male and female protagonists kissing in the movie "Wallflower Boy", and the fans wanted to stimulate Zhou Xuan in this way, which can be described as painstaking.
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and immediately regained his composure. He studied psychology and felt that this kind of provocation was too pediatric, and there were many synthetic nude photos of Emma on the Internet, and he didn't do anything about it. It's not fake, how can you stimulate him with propaganda stills? Back then, the Suns sat in the front row of the victim of the Eagle County incident and stimulated Kobe Bryant by a much more clever means than this. And Zhou Xuan rarely has negative news in his life, and opponents can't find this kind of weakness to target him.
After practicing three-point shooting for a while, Zhou Xuan felt in good condition and was ready to kill.
The Knicks started the game, Zhou Xuan, Leonard, Gallinari, Jamison, Chandler.
Heat Chalmers, Wade, James, Dunleavy, Turiaf.
Chandler won with a jump ball, Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, and Chalmers defended. Wade defends Leonard. Leonard scored in double figures in three straight games, two 15+ games, and Spoelstra realized that he couldn't afford to misplace his defense against the newcomer. Playing Chalmers, he will take advantage of his height, and he can get rid of it by playing inside.
Leonard has benefited a lot from joining the Knicks, learning defense from Battier and Zhou Xuan, learning from Miller, and playing with Jamison on the ball, and improving in all aspects. The importance of veterans is not only to play games, but also to bring new talents.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand to let his teammates all pull away, Jamison blocked and dismantled, Zhou Xuan broke through from the right side with the ball, and James changed the defense. Zhou Xuan observed the situation with his spare eyes and made plans. Take the ball and retreat and turn to the frame, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand, James didn't dare to retreat too much, keeping a step and a half away.
Jamison then squeezed Chalmers into the middle of the pitch. Zhou Xuan turned his head to look at the bottom corner of the right side, hit the ground and passed the ball to Jamison in the middle, who received the ball and made a quick stop jumper, Chalmers couldn't cover it, James was too late to make up for the defense, and the ball went in. 2 to 0.
The Heat attacked, James controlled the ball at the top of the arc, couldn't break through under Gallinari's interference, and gave the ball to Wade, Wade and Turiaf blocked and broke through, Chandler raised his arms in the restricted area to interfere with Wade's throwing, and the rebound was obtained by Jamison.
Zhou Xuan controlled the ball to the front court, everyone pulled away, Zhou Xuan blocked with Jamison again, and James switched defenses.
This time, Jamison cut low to the right. D'Antoni gave Zhou Xuan unlimited shots, and this time he still passed it, and Jamison seemed to be in good shape. The ball was hoisted to the low post, and Jamison took the ball and turned and threw it to the baseline, dodging Turyaf's block and hitting the cricket ball in. 4 to 0.
Jamison 208CM is the same as Turyaf, more agile than Turyaf, and the already veteran Jamison is also much stronger than Turyaf. After all, the weight is more than a dozen kilograms lighter. And Jamison's small hook and throwing movements are also very weird, and the efficiency is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a big killer when he was young. He has a streak of 50+ feats.
When the Heat played the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season, Jamison scored 21 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter against Bosh, and now that Bosh is away, it is even more difficult for the Heat to guard him.
After a few rounds, Zhou Xuan did not rush to attack, but wore down James's will, attracted him to defend and handed it over to Jamison and Gallinari.
James finally retracted the basket to defend, and Zhou Xuan immediately made a 45-degree pull-up jump shot on the right side, dodging Chalmers chasing the block and scoring on the board. In just four minutes, he had two points and four assists. The Knicks lead 12-6.
James also played like he did in the last game, taking the ball in the middle and breaking through to the inside after blocking and dismantling with Turiaf. Chandler was whistled for a foul prematurely on the court, and today he also has experience, that is, to follow the interference, never casually reach out or try to block the breakthrough. As long as there is physical contact with half of the body, the referee will generally blow him for a foul.
James jumped to the basket with the ball, jumped with all his might, and hit the cricket with a lever in the air. 12 to 8.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan opened up the space after blocking and dismantling, and was interfered with by Chalmers, James won the rebound in the backcourt, and he dribbled the ball through the half, past Battier and Leonard, and scored in the basketball. 12 to 10.
Eight of the Heat's 10 points came from James. He was as determined as he was in the last game. Compared to last season, he is stronger, in the summer super long offseason, he has exercised his back ability, and now the low singles are also very efficient, the striker can resist him only a handful, the interior main defense, he can rely on technical breakthroughs. Last season, Zhou Xuan dared to resist him on the outside, but now he is purely looking for abuse.
James couldn't be happier. No matter how comprehensive it is, now his evaluation is lower than before, a group of people say that he relies on his teammates, hugging his thighs, who else in his thighs besides Wade and Bosh? Just like when the Cavaliers entered the Finals, it mainly depends on his personal ability.
The Knicks used a double block, Zhou Xuan played against James and gave it to Gallinari, and then got rid of it with Chandler without the ball. Gallinari passes the ball in the middle to Jamison on the side, who in turn hands it to Zhou Xuan.
Chalmers chased with all his might, but it was not fast enough, and Zhou Xuan turned around in the bottom corner and scored a jumper in the face frame. 15 to 10.
James passed the ball to Wade, who faced Jamison on a one-off and stepped back to shoot wide for Chandler to grab the rebound.
In the Knicks positional battle, Gallinari pulled to the perimeter cover again, James changed defenses, Jamison cut to the bottom left corner, and Zhou Xuan hoisted the ball in.
Jamison leaned his back against Dunleavy, turned and hooked his hand wide, and Chandler jumped up on the other side to grab the rebound. Turyav can resist people, but his control of rebounding is not good enough.
Chandler didn't force the shot, shook it for a while, and gave the ball to Zhou Xuan. Jamison made a no-ball cover for him on the baseline again, helping him get rid of James, Zhou Xuan took the ball and stepped out of the three-point line, turned around on the left side and threw a backward jumper, this trick he often practiced in the team, mainly relying on rhythm to shoot, the jump was not very high, and Chalmers jumped sideways and failed to cover it.
The ball makes a beautiful arc and hollows into the net. 18 to 10.
Zhou Xuan scored his eighth point, and Spoelstra called a timeout. He saw that Zhou Xuan's hand felt great, and if he didn't restrict it anymore, he was afraid that something would happen.
In this game, the Knicks will get match points if they win, and there are still two home courts behind them, and the Heat will have more than one luck. Spoelstra is also depressed, he is a young coach who was eliminated by the Knicks for two consecutive seasons after the formation of the Big Three, and it is likely that he will also be laid off in the summer.
