Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball through the half, and still didn't have to cover Calderon alone.

Calderon was depressed, and Bosh, who was ready to defend the pick-and-roll, was useless. This isn't the first time the Raptors have faced this embarrassment, and they have lost a lot this year because they can't defend. Bosh's pick-and-roll ability is already outstanding at the No. 4 position, but against the Raptors, many teams don't need to block and pick-and-roll. Calderon relies on defensive experience to make up for the lack of lateral speed, and people like Zhou Xuan, who rely on calculations to break through, are simply his nemesis.

Just as Calderon was engrossed in preparing to go head-to-head with Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan changed his style of play again, stretched out his finger to let Bidrin pull out to cover, block Calderon, and then quickly break through to the three-point line. Bosh changed the defense, Calderon was blocked and failed to go around in time to defend in front of Biedrins, Zhou Xuan took the ball and retreated to avoid Bosh to find the bag by himself, and then hit the ground and passed to the middle from the gap between the two, Biderins took the ball and turned to the basketball, 10-4.

O'Neill Jr. went to follow Randolph, who was pulled to the perimeter, and the defense was slow.

I can't guess what Zhou Xuan is going to do, it is difficult to organize an effective defense, and he is pass-oriented, and he sees the stitches. Although Randolph didn't score and didn't get the ball in these rounds, he just stood outside, and O'Neill Jr. had to follow him, which is called individual deterrence.

The Raptors also blocked, this time Calderon gave Moon, who cooperated with Bosh, Moon's speed was very fast, but there were not many offensive means, he was not good at attacking with the ball, and he returned to Bosh with a step, Bosh singled Azubuike's jumper and missed, and the rebound was picked up by Biedrins.

Once Randolph goes to defend the pick-and-roll, Biedrins is happy, and there is no need to go out of the basket to get stuck in the basket, and O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shooting is not as accurate as before the injury, and he is more active in the low post, which is exactly what he wants.

Azubuuk immediately went down, and the Warriors counterattacked. Zhou Xuan retreated to take the ball, did not give it to Azubuuk, and handed it to Moro on the left side. Morrow singled Kapono, dribbled the ball under his crotch and burst into the middle, and made a quick stop jump shot. Bosh followed Azubuk and failed to make up for it. 12 to 4.

The opening wave of the Warriors left a deep impression, as long as the opponent has defensive holes, Zhou Xuan generally has a way to catch it, and the efficiency is super high. Today, the Raptors have holes in both positions on the outside, and it is difficult to make up for the defects.

Next, Zhou Xuan passed Morrow, let him and Randolph play blocking and dismantling, and attacked the Raptors two, after the dislocation, Capono couldn't stop Randolph at all, and it was an easy shot to be pouted by a butt, and Biderins also performed well on the defensive end, grabbing 6 rebounds in a single quarter, and giving Calderon a cap.

Randolph is defensive and pick-and-roll, and the opponent's outside line is easy to break into. But another weakness of the Raptors is the lack of people who can attack with the ball, TJ Ford was the first choice to attack with the ball on the outside, Calderon can also do the same, but the threat is much smaller, he scored 6 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, and he was active, but Zhou Xuan was more fierce, with 5 points and 7 assists in a single quarter.

The Warriors led 35-27. The most amazing thing about the Warriors is that after injuring three attackers, the current offensive firepower is still the first in the league in points per game. The Suns and Nuggets have learned to defend, and only the Warriors and Knicks have been holding high the offensive banner. Winning is a big score, and losing is also a big loss.

In the second quarter, the Warriors' offense slowed down, and there was only one Watson offensive player, which was still very unstable. On the Raptors' side, there is also a group of blacksmiths on the court, and Bagnani, who has played well this season, meets the fast Anthony? Randolph, who didn't have an easy shot from the outside, burst in with the guard and Turiaf waited for a block under the basket.

The two sides fought against each other until the main forces appeared one after another. Calderon is destined to not be able to get back to the court from Zhou Xuan today, the Warriors are on double guard, and Watson and Zhou Xuan are on the court together. The Warriors put Watson and Calderon at the top of the arc, and Zhou Xuan defended the bottom line. Nelson Sr. thinks he's easier to pass the ball from the baseline, and that's exactly what he does.

The Raptors began to use Bagnani and Bosh as interior partners. The Warriors immediately adjusted their style of play, Randolph and Watson blocked and dismantled, withdrawing Bosh from the inside, and if there was no good opportunity, the pass came out, and Zhou Xuan hoisted the ball into the low post Biedrins to single Bagnani.

The Raptors had no one inside, and Bagnani, a big forward who was good at shooting, reluctantly appeared at the center position, and the record proved that the Raptors were naïve to expect the Italians to guard the interior. Bagnani was originally Novitzki, but he was softer than Nowitzki. The offensive end has been dangling from the outside, the defensive end can't carry people, and worst of all, he can't grab rebounds at all. The big man of 213CM played 31 minutes and could only grab 5 rebounds.

Biedrins is exactly the two extremes, he can't shoot, but he's extremely tough. When he came back to the pitch in place of Turyaf, he immediately began to play tricks. first grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a rebound, and then slapped Bagnani with a big hat in defense, and in the low post he turned twice to beat Bagnani to score on the board.

Bagnani had no choice but to use fouls to block the opponent, he was too thin to resist people on the inside, and he couldn't jump up when he was squeezed. Last year, his weaknesses were exposed, and in a game against the Bucks, he was defended by Yi Jian without temper, scoring only 3 points in the whole game, and he couldn't make a foul.

Biedrins scored eight points in the first quarter, scored a double-double at halftime, and played confidently against Bagnani.

Returning to the locker room at halftime, Randolph was a little puzzled, why did Zhou Xuan rarely pass the ball to him today? He made just five shots in the half, hitting three and scoring eight points from the free throw line.

"Man, why didn't you pass me the ball today, I can clean up Bosh, don't you believe me?" Randolph sat beside Zhou Xuan and whispered.

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Of course I believe that you can clean up Bosh, but this is the coach's arrangement, and we are confident of winning today, so we have to take this opportunity to train." The coach discussed with me before the game, and we were very happy to block and dismantle, and we won beautiful statistics in several games, but when we met a team with good anti-blocking and dismantling, we often fell behind in the third quarter and lost the game. If you want to go further in the playoffs, we have to have more offensive methods and distribute the right to shoot reasonably, so I pass you less, you think about it, now you are the only super scorer in the team, but when Jackson, Margeti, and Ellis come back, it is impossible to let you shoot 20 in a game, and you have to familiarize yourself with this style of play with fewer shots and efficiency as soon as possible. ”

"I see." Randolph breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few years, he has been brushing up on this kind of thing, and he is tired of it, but in contrast, he is more interested in good results.

Zhou Xuan continued: "Let you prevent blocking and dismantling, but also to exercise in the regular season, you must develop a habit, otherwise we will not be able to win against a strong team." Let's talk about the Lakers, the two big men are pulled out, Kobe Bryant breaks through, and such a move will be troublesome. Andris actually has an advantage over you in the low post, because he can help defend blocks, if you always let him defend against blocks, you can't block in the low post, which means that the inside advantage is all abandoned. So you also have to practice anti-pick-and-roll. ”

"I'll do my best." Randolph sighed, he didn't like this style of play, but what Zhou Xuan said was reasonable.

Originally, the coaching staff was going to wait for Randolph to ask before explaining to him, but Zhou Xuan made it clear in advance, so as not to make Randolph unhappy with Biedrins again.

When everyone comes back, the distribution of the ball is indeed a problem, everyone has to reduce the number of shots, and whether they can play well depends on Zhou Xuan's organization. He is also very much looking forward to the day when the lineup is complete, and the attack power is sure to be amazing. And what he has to do now is to help Biedrins brush up the stats without losing, and as long as he does, the coaching staff will trust him more.

In the second half, the Raptors replaced O'Neal Jr., and Zhou Xuan began to play with Randolph to block and dismantle, pulling Bosh out, letting Randolph play, and Biedrins grabbed rebounds inside.

In the face of O'Neal Jr., Biedrins also played domineering. After O'Neal Jr. got the ball in the low post, he resisted a few times and didn't shake him off, and his turnaround jumper was covered by a slap. After a while, he sent out a big hat when he was defending Graham from breaking through. Maybe it's because he's been holding back for too long, he works extremely hard in the low post defense, and doesn't let the Raptors take advantage of any inside, and can only shoot from the perimeter.

Someone said before that Bidrins' defensive ability was overrated because he couldn't defend against pick-and-rolls, and today he was a bad breath.

This game was only broadcast live on local stations, and Zhou Xuan played very relaxed, didn't shoot much, just kept distributing the ball to the right position to help his teammates score. The Raptors' offense is also good, but they are always behind by more than 10 points and can't prevent the Warriors' offense.

When Zhou Xuan assisted Randolph again to resist Bosh and turned around to shoot to score two points under the basket, Stanley, the home announcer, looked at the data and was surprised to find that Zhou Xuan had scored 16 assists, and the third quarter was not over yet.

"Zhou Xuan only shot 5 times today, hit 3 balls, and almost passed the ball when he had the ball, the Raptors' interior defense is not good enough, Bagnani and Bosh will definitely have loopholes when they are on the court together, and his assists are going to hit a new high."

Hank smiled: "93-82, the Warriors only lead by 11 points, this situation will definitely continue to play in the fourth quarter next week, and the assists are likely to be 20, and the previous single-game assist record this season was also set by him when he played the Knicks, and it was about to be broken." ”

While they were chatting, the Raptors' Bagnani hit a three-pointer to narrow the margin to single digits. 93 to 85.

Biedrins is more shrunk under the basket today, Bagnani can better withdraw the inside line after coming on the court, in order to defend Bosh, he has to let go of a big man, and his height of 213CM after the dislocation really makes it difficult for opponents to block. There is a certain reason why he can become the champion, and Aldridge did not have such a long range as him.

The Warriors attacked, and Bagnani became a weakness. Randolph and Biedlings both reached the low post, Zhou Xuan dribbled to the frontcourt, and to the left side to Randolph, who had already squeezed Bosh under the basket when he received the ball, turned to face the basket, and shot the basketball with one hand. 95 to 85.

The 17th assist, playing the Raptors Zhou Xuan to get an assist looks too easy.
