Chapter 261: [Playoffs]
Van Gundy said: "Against the Warriors, don't relax your defense against Zhou Xuan, almost everyone feels that they should slow down the pace of the ball just now, including Monta? Ellis, only Zhou Xuan was the only one who went down quickly, and as a result, there was an easy opportunity. ”
"Magic" Johnson sighed: "Zhou Xuan is a person who is very good at playing key shots, which makes him not look like a newcomer at all, Sloan must arrange a tactic now, they can choose to play a success rate, or they can attack quickly and defend again." ”
Van Gundy said: "I think the Jazz will choose to use up 24 seconds, win or lose in one move, it's not a good idea for them to defend once, Deron has been very depleted, and now he and Boozer are holes on the defensive end. There are a lot of warriors who can shoot and kill. ”
Nelson Sr. arranged for man-to-man defense, replaced Randolph and replaced Turyaf, this is to prevent the Jazz from playing in the low post, Boozer has the ability to score in the low post, and Turyaf has a better defense, not only can resist people, but also can block.
The game resumes.
Zhou Xuan's choice just now made people unguessable, and this time Sloan also chose to think backwards. After the halfway point was delivered, Delon pushed forward quickly and passed the ball to Kirilenko. Korver, who had just come off the bench, suddenly ran back, and Millsap and Boozer made a pick-and-roll on the left, a rugby-style tactic, and the two closed the door to block Jackson and Turiaf.
Korver took a step inside the three-point line, turned around at 60 degrees, and jumped into the net! The entire tactic took less than 6 seconds. 90 to 91.
Nelson Sr. also asked for a timeout, and the goal had to be scored.
CCTV5 is reasonably depressed. "The ball was not well guarded, the Jazz double-block was very beautiful, Korver had a good hand today, he hit four three-pointers, two-pointers, this is his 16th point of the game. Thankfully, the Warriors have one more chance to attack. ”
Yu Jia said: "I don't know if Lu Dao will give Zhou Xuan an attack, his current statistics are 19 points and 13 assists, better than Delong's 14 points and 8 assists." He played well after the pick-and-roll, but his height was limited, and if he could make a difficult shot from the perimeter, the Jazz should not let the Warriors break through easily. ”
"Randolph was also an option. Today, the Warriors didn't have a good shooting from the outside, shooting only 5 of 21 three-pointers, otherwise they wouldn't have scored only 90 points. For the Warriors, scoring just 100 is a very low score. Zhang Li looked at the data and said: "It's better to give Zhou Xuan and Randolph more certainty, Marion can too, don't let Jackson vote, today he shot 2 out of 10, Margetty and Ellis didn't perform well, I don't know if Lu Dao will play." ”
Nelson Sr. also knows that the outside players have a bad hand, and this will be the most offensive and send someone who can shoot. Randolph, Marion, Azubuke, Duby, Zhou Xuan.
This is another surprise tactic. Dolby's shooting ability was outstanding on the team, and Moreau didn't allow it before, and Nelson Sr. decided to trust him. Azubuike comes on the field, and once he can't open it, he has to rely on his impact to hold the ball and break through. This tactic is that after Randolph blocks and dismantled, Dolby receives the ball, finds a way to hand it over to Zhou Xuan to control the time, and then all five people pull to the periphery to look for opportunities.
"As long as we run and keep running back, we can create chances, they can't run fast, Zhou, it's up to you." Old Nelson shouted, but only a few people around him could hear him.
The audience was very noisy, and the fans screamed for their lives. If he could use his mobile phone, Nelson Sr. would like to tweet and let the players look at their phones to understand the tactics.
Zhou Xuan can shoot, or he can look for opportunities to break through and pass the ball to the most suitable person to shoot.
When the timeout ended, the players played, and the Warriors stopped shouting slogans, and in this environment, the shouts could not be heard.
Zhou Xuan was in charge of serving out of bounds, and after Randolph covered, he accurately handed it to Dolby and entered the court.
Delong was indeed tired, and his speed was getting slower and slower, and Zhou Xuan didn't waste any effort to get rid of him and get the basketball. He dribbles to open up space and observes the situation on the court.
At this juncture, it is impossible for Jazz to send someone to cover it. Zhou Xuan only needs to face Delong, while the others are more defensive, as if the inner line is deliberately revealing flaws and wants the Warriors to break through. Throwing in a two-point score can only lead by one point, and playing too quickly will leave time for the Jazz to kill. At the beginning, they deliberately expanded their defensive range, and when they suddenly compressed in the last few seconds, the Warriors could only bet on shooting.
Sloan's defensive strategy is what most teams do, and although the Warriors were terrible at three-pointers today, they may not be able to shoot one when it matters most.
Zhou Xuan has thought of a strategy, the old Nelson has already handed over the command to him, if his teammates can run on the periphery and no one comes up to cover the clip, it is not impossible for him to choose singles.
DeLong lowered his weight and waited for this challenge, and both of them silently counted the time in their minds. 10、9、8、7……
They are like two western cowboys, facing each other silently, everything is silent, not to climb Brokeback Mountain together, but to be the first to pull out their guns and take out their opponents.
In 5 seconds, Zhou Xuan acted, broke through to the left with the ball, and then changed direction to the right, and handed the ball to the right hand. Delong moved to the right, and Zhou Xuan made a big stride that he didn't use often, and relied on his speed to break through to the middle successfully.
In 4 seconds, the fans in the audience were all quiet at this moment, Millsap let go of Marion's defense, Zhou Xuan saw Kirilenko blocking the passing route to Marion during the run, and he thought about the next step.
In 3 seconds, Randolph pulled to the high position, Zhou Xuan quickly passed the ball over, the fat man shot very accurately in this position, Randolph received the ball, Delon caught up with the defense from behind, and Boozer jumped from front to block.
In 2 seconds, Randolph made a shot, his passing awareness was average, and he was too late to find someone at this time, so he could only shoot, Boozer defended in a timely manner this time, and his hand was sealed in Randolph's eyes.
While! The ball pops out of the frame.
Won, this is the thought of the Jazz players and all Jazz fans at this time, as for the Chinese fans in front of the TV, the Warriors fans are a little unbearable to watch anymore.
In 1 second, Zhou Xuan entered the penalty area before the misplaced Millsap and Kirilenko, who defended Marion on the bottom line. As for Brewer, he was in a daze from the other side.
Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Zhou Xuan judged the right direction of the ball popping up, caught the ball with both hands in the air, drifted to the right side of Lu, and picked the ball to the basket with a low hand with his right hand. Millsap and Kirilenko, who were chasing him, saw this scene and their hearts almost stopped.
Zhou Xuan grabbed the key rebound and directly shot to make up for the basket! The final whistle blew, and the ball hit the board lightly before falling into the hoop. 92 to 91.
The noise dropped by two-thirds, and almost all Jazz fans stood up, unable to believe what was happening. Some people cover their faces with their hands in disappointment, and some people bow their heads and sigh. The Warriors' bench was boiling all at once, and the players rushed into the court. Zero-second lore!
Zhou Xuan stood in place, holding his fist high, like a boxing champion who won the championship.
Yu Jia shouted: "Lore! Zhou Xuan scored another killer goal! And it's in the playoffs! It's the perfect shot, it's wonderful! The Warriors lead the Lakers 3-0 on aggregate, and no team has ever been able to come back from 3-0 down in the playoffs, which means the Warriors are sure to advance to the second round. ”
Zhang Li said excitedly: "I believe that Chinese fans and friends have enjoyed watching it, it is too great." Yao Ming has been in the NBA for many years and has not been able to lead the Rockets to defeat the Jazz to advance to the second round. They had never conquered the home court of the Devils in Salt Lake City, and Zhou Xuan did it! And he won't turn 20 until June. ”
ESPN Van Gundy also shouted: "I can't believe that Zhou Xuan has once again killed his opponent, this ball shows a very good sense of cutting and fighting for rebounds, which is completely a victory that he relies on his personal ability." The best newcomer to amaze! ”
"Magic" Johnson smiled: "Among the rookie players, no one can reach the level of Zhou Xuan, he is too calm, the camera gives the replay just now, he saw Millsap defend up, almost without pause and passed to Randolph, not to Marion, and immediately cut into the air." His vision is fantastic, and he is prone to mistakes on the bottom line. Throwing it by himself, being disturbed by Millsap, who is 201CM tall, will not have a good effect, and what he made at that moment was the best choice. ”
Van Gundy said: "The close-up after the goal was also given to Coach Sloan on the sidelines, and he shook his head, maybe he was depressed for what Zhou Xuan was not from the Jazz, right?" DeLong also made a mistake in this ball selection, he defended Randolph nearby, and if he rushed inside to grab a rebound, he might be able to win it by relying on his physical advantage. ”
Johnson said: "I don't think so, there is a man today who is very much like Stockton, but this man is not called DeLong? Williams. ”
With 21 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal, Zhou Xuan won the best player of the game with his near-perfect performance. It was a real hard-fought battle, with only four Warriors scoring in double figures. Randolph was both inaccurate, with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Ellis scored 18 points and Marion 16.
The person with the best Jazz statistics is Boozer, with 24 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, but looking at the defensive performance, he is actually responsible for the Jazz's loss.
The fans left the stadium one after another, and sighs were everywhere in the energy arena.
Delong walked towards the players' tunnel with his head down, not even wanting to look at Zhou Xuan again, he had already tried his best, but he still lost. This took a heavy toll on his self-confidence.
The Warriors players were happy, and they were all involved in a great game, whether they were on the court or not.
As Van Gundy said, "This series will probably be talked about many years from now, and this is the game in which Zhou Xuan began to look up to the great defenders in history. ”
Commenting on the game, Johnson said: "I think the Warriors will definitely advance to the Western Conference Finals, but I don't know if they can beat the Lakers, and I don't know what ranking Zhou Xuan can get after the most difficult season......
Halfway through his sentence, Johnson paused, and suddenly an idea that seemed a little ridiculous came to his mind. If it goes on like this, if the Warriors enter the finals, they are likely to win the championship in an upset, and this kid won't win the Finals MVP in his rookie season, right?
