The Knicks won three in a row, Zhou Xuan had a double-double, and Stoudeyere also had 21 points and 11 rebounds. Matthews hit three three-pointers and scored 15 points, while Gallinari, Douglas and Anderson also scored in double figures.

The Bulls also had six players score in double figures, but unfortunately in the final moments, Rose could not lead the team to victory.

The most indicative of a star's ability is the key ball. Today's game with the Bulls once again proves that Zhou Xuan is the calmest killer at the critical moment.

According to ESPN, over the past 10 years, Zhou Xuan has shot 53 percent of all players who have hit the equalizer or winner within the last 15 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. 7% is the first place, which is higher than his usual shooting percentage, and basically ignores the pressure of the worst behind. At critical moments, he also dared to make fake moves, and he could shoot as fast as he could for ordinary players, and it would be good if his skills were not deformed.

Anthony, who ranks second in shooting percentage, is only 46. 2%。 Zhou Xuan's number of kills is not too much, and he can't be on the rankings, but he has time to catch up with his predecessors, and this is only his third season.

Back in the locker room, Gallinari asked, "Stephen, how did you feel about the shot?" I think you're too calm. ”

"It's not the first time I've made a shot." Zhou Xuan said lightly.

In fact, it is not that simple, he has to concentrate to keep himself from being nervous, to focus on the offensive method, not to think about anything else, especially not to think about the consequences of missing the shot, only to think about how to throw the ball in the most efficient way, and then resign himself to fate.

Psychologically speaking, this is a high level of spiritual realm, which includes endurance, fighting spirit, and cultivation. Sumo wrestling in Japan focuses on these things. Zhou Xuan is the accumulation of bits and pieces in life, so that he can always maintain peace of mind.

Stadamier smiled: "It's so cool to work with you, we have to win more at home." ”

"Of course, are you confident?"

"Yes!" Everyone spoke in unison.

The next game is the underdog Wizards, and the summer Wizards selected the top John? Wall, but Jamison and Butler have both been traded out of the team, and Arenas is back after "Gunsgate" and overlaps with Wall. Obviously, the Wizards' strength has been greatly reduced.

Now the Wizards are very embarrassed and want to trade the "Great General" out, but no team is willing to ask for it. Unlike Maddie, Arenas' contract is not only big, but also has many years, and no one wants to be burdened with such a garbage contract.

This time it was a back-to-back game, and it was also a "Chinese derby", and Yi Jianlian joined the Wizards. The showdown between Zhou Xuan and rookie champion Wall is also a highlight.

The next day, the media praised Zhou Xuan's leadership temperament, praising Stadamire's steady offense, as well as Matthews and Gallinari's outside play.

There are more and more people who are optimistic about the Knicks, and some fans have raised the possibility of Zhou Xuan creating another miracle, maybe he can lead the Knicks to the top. There are also many people who are not optimistic about the Knicks' stamina, they are a new army and inexperienced. The opponent is not familiar with them, so they can win, and when they recognize their style of play in the second half of the season, it will be difficult to win.

In addition, the ESPN panel questioned D'Antoni's hiring. The Knicks' bench is not bad, but D'Antoni stubbornly plays with five people for a long time. Evans, Pekovic, and Azubuke and Douglas, who performed well last season, have all shortened their playing time, which is a waste of resources.

Zhou Xuan called Yi Jianlian in the morning and asked him to have lunch at noon.

In the past two seasons, Zhou Xuan has often encouraged Yi Jianlian, but his mentality is poor, and he has not been able to gain a foothold in the Nets team after the worst, and he was sent to the Wizards this season.

As the winner of last season's top pick, there is no need to say how bad the Wizards are, but now Yi Jianlian has become a substitute, and the competition for the Wizards inside is still fierce. Zhou Xuan was a little helpless about this, and could only say that Yi Jianlian was too unlucky.

Summer, Wizards vs. Andre? Brighter re-signed a three-year contract worth 28 million and executed the team's inside line Javier? McGee's contract option, the Wizards have no shortage of interior lines.

After becoming the team's starting power forward, Bleche averaged 22 per game in his last 32 games last season. 1 point 8. 3 rebounds 3. 6 assists, very powerful.

McGee has amazing physicality and has increased his playing time on the team. This summer, he relied on his excellent form and was once selected for the training camp squad of the American Dream Nine team to prepare for the men's basketball World Championship in the summer, and finally failed to be selected for the United States men's basketball team to play in the World Championships, but his talent was still praised by all walks of life.

Yi Jianlian's performance in the World Championships in Turkey was very good, which made the Wizards management very happy. It's a pity that he can't compete with the above two.

The Wizards played four games, with power forward Bleche starting four games and averaging 15 per game. 7 points 5. 7 rebounds, if nothing else, he will let Yi Jianlian play as a substitute for a season. In the NBA, the stats speak for themselves, and the head coach's opinion is also very important. In the Wizards' in-house training, Bletcher is said to score at will.

Wizards players rarely choose to attack on the inside, and Coach Sanders encourages Bletcedo to attack in the low post, which is what Yi Jianlian lacks. Compared with American players, his body is slightly "thin".

And the team also has the No. 23 rookie power forward Trevor in the first round? Booker, No. 17 rookie Kevin? Seraphim, and Hilton, who played as a starting center for the Hornets? Armstrong. Counting Yi Jianlian, six inside lines to compete for playing time.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Dude, I have a very curious question, why can you shoot in the international arena, but you can't shoot in the NBA?" ”

Yi Jianlian shook his head and said, "I have to have a chance, what if the coach doesn't need me?" ”

In the Chinese national team, Yi Jianlian has unlimited firing rights. In the NBA, he was used as a blue-collar worker in the Bucks and a shooter in the Nets, and the Wizards had a big forward like Bleche who could shoot, and he needed people to block or resist people inside, so he also deprived Yi Jianlian of playing time.

"Fight for it, if you don't fight for it, what will happen to the next contract? Since the strength is not comparable to that of black players, I work hard to shoot basketballs. How simple it is to cut in the air after blocking and dismantling or relying on the height advantage to misplace the jumper. Come on, play well to get a big contract. ”

"Ugh." Yi Jianlian sighed again. He doesn't talk about big contracts now, small contracts are enough to choke like this. The Nets and Wizards are both weak teams, and he can't prove himself in the weak team, how can a strong team introduce him?

Zhou Xuan shook his head, and he didn't know how to help, unless Yi Jianlian couldn't get a contract next season and pulled him to the Knicks, but the Knicks didn't lack an inside line, and it was difficult to play. The key is that he still has to improve his strength and adapt to tactics. Anderson, who played as a substitute for Yi Jianlian in the Nets back then, is doing a good job now. His physical fitness is worse than Yi Jianlian's, but he has an excellent shot. Yi Jianlian's three-point shooting is definitely far worse than Anderson's.

Zhou Xuan said: "I suggest you practice three points well, like Ryan?" Anderson played like that, and D'Antoni liked him so much that he had already made him a starter. You don't have to do anything else, just pull outside the three-point line and wait for the opportunity to shoot, and then defend. ”

"I've been practicing."

The two chatted about a heavy topic, and after a while, they talked about the possibility of the NBA being shut down after the end of the season. And they are all out of contract at the end of this season.

The old collective bargaining agreement in the NBA will expire next summer, and the theme of the new collective bargaining agreement secretly proposed by the NBA owner is "salary limit", which the players do not buy, and a new labor dispute is about to ignite. Every time the NBA collective bargaining agreement expires, it causes some disputes, most notably during the 1998 season. The NBA was forced to shut down after the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, playing only 50 games in the regular season, and the NBA is no less controversial today than it was in the 1998 season.

Many of the new collective bargaining agreements recently proposed by NBA owners are blatantly "harmful" to the interests of NBA players.

For example, the hard salary cap clause that the players are not comfortable with. Under this clause, no player can enjoy the various preferential terms that used to be able to exceed the salary cap without paying luxury tax, such as the middle class clause, the Bird clause, the rookie clause, etc. Under the old collective bargaining agreement, a player who played for a team for three years without skipping a slot met the Bird Clause, and even if the team's gross salary cap was reached, the team could still sign the player without paying the hefty luxury tax. The Bird clause is a protection for the team's veteran players, but there will no longer be a Bird clause in the new collective bargaining agreement, so the meritorious veteran players will probably not be able to sign with the team, because the team will pay a very expensive luxury tax if they do.

NBA owners are also very tough this time, arguing that the current collective bargaining agreement has become unaffordable for the team, and that the team has begun to lose money because the players' salaries are too high, so they must change. This contradiction seems difficult to reconcile.

Yi Jianlian said: "If it is suspended, what are your plans? Do you want to go back to China to play CBA? As long as you go back, it will definitely be very popular. ”

"We'll talk about it then."

"If I stop, I will definitely go back to Guangdong." Yi Jianlian said with a smile.

If he plays, Zhou Xuan wants to go to Europe, where it is pure team basketball and the level is relatively high, and it is very boring to think about playing in the CBA. And he didn't know which CBA team to join, the second team of Shandong didn't want him back then, which made him very unhappy, and if he went to other teams, he couldn't stay in his hometown.

What can I do if I don't play basketball? Let's talk to Mitchell when the time comes, maybe he can have a fun plan, or I can go to film with Chloe and Emma. It's better than playing CBA, right?

There are always big-name NBA stars who go to China to make money during the holidays, and Zhou Xuan doesn't want to make money from his compatriots, so it's cool to earn it in the United States and spend it. He always doesn't go back, which may have some impact on his image. This summer, he was recuperating in the United States, and many people questioned why he didn't go back.

In fact, they are all "Xuan Hei", cursing on the Internet, watching the lively Zhou Xuan is not in a good mood, so he stayed in the United States to recuperate. In 11 he had to go back, otherwise in 12 there would be the Olympics again, and there would be no time.
