On March 31, the Warriors vs. Grizzlies was called a game without suspense.

The 19-54 record is the Grizzlies' current record, and they played okay in the opening stages before sliding all the way down. This is also to be expected, after all, the Grizzlies are a "home alone" team, Rudy? Guy is the leader of the Grizzlies, he is a person who only plays by talent, and he also made remarks about the Grizzlies being expected to win the championship this season during training camp last year, and he once became the laughing stock of everyone, very stupid and naïve.

Mark? Alvaroni is not a good coach either, his first performance as a coach was very unsuccessful, the most unsuccessful part is not the team's record, but he himself does not know whether to play the position or run and bomb, and the confusion of the tactical system makes the young players very confused.

The Grizzlies are not only inexperienced, but also short of benches. Veterans such as Jaric and Rose did not bring anything good to the team, and Lowry was originally an impactful player who was sent to the Rockets. It's more difficult to start and substitute on the inside, Mark? Gasol is still a rookie, Iranian Haddadi is even worse, and the Grizzlies have to suffer every night from being beaten into a sieve by their opponents on the inside.

Once the game began, the Warriors quickly took the initiative.

As the playoffs approach, Nelson Sr. has begun to focus on working on his defensive system. It is recognized that the regular season is offensive and the playoffs are defensive. If the Warriors just offense, it's hard to win a championship. Nelson Sr. knew this well and began to practice joint defense.

Turyaf resisted Gasol Jr., and the other four rotated positions at any time. Zhou Xuan's main defender is Mayo.

At the end of December, there were still many people who said that Mayo should be the best rookie, he is an absolute genius, far better than Zhou Xuan, and much better than last year's best rookie Du Blacksmith (Durant). At that time, Mayo had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 47% from the field and 40% from three-point range. So some pseudo-fans think that he is invincible and must become a superstar, and they don't look at the poor winning rate of the Grizzlies at all.

Soon after, Mayo's stats began to decline, and two weaknesses were exposed, one was that the offensive options were too poor, and he often couldn't shake off the defenders and shot. The second is that he has poor passing awareness, averaging just over 3 assists per game but 2. 8 turnovers.

Today, Mayo's shooting percentage has also dropped to 44 percent and his scoring has dropped to 18. 5 points. Some people still think that he is better than Zhou Xuan, because in the eyes of some fans, it is good to be able to score, and other data are not data, it doesn't matter if you win or not, I brush so I exist!

But as soon as the two are in pair, the gap is revealed. Zhou Xuan once again showed his defensive ability, and through constant close and physical confrontation, Mayo could barely receive the ball. Mayo singled Zhou Xuan four times, and all his shots were iron.

Mayo is 193CM tall and weighs 95 kilograms, and his physique is not bad, but he is not very good at using his body, and his explosiveness, the first step of starting is not very fast. This makes him unable to get rid of Zhou Xuan at all, he can only rely on blocking and dismantling, and Zhou Xuan finally doesn't have to compete with the 185CM tall and extremely flexible Conley. Jackson's fast-break can still form a dislocation after blocking and dismantling at the top of the arc.

The Grizzlies missed their outside shots, couldn't score inside baskets, trailed by more than 20 points in the third quarter, and gave up the game early. Not only Mayo, but Guy was also teamed up by several swingmen to defend himself as a blacksmith, shooting just 6 of 18.

Now Mayo thinks Zhou Xuan is too terrible. When the two teams met for the first time, Zhou Xuan's defense was not this method, and he was misplaced to prevent him from breaking through or shooting, and opened up some distance, at least leaving him room to shoot. But now his defense has become very aggressive, with some depressing small movements, the first elbow of the anti-back body, and the stab of the waist with the anti-shot. Mayo never thought one person could make such a big difference in the middle of the season, and it seemed to be even more powerful than when he singled out Westbrook at the star weekend.

In the first game of April, the Warriors host the Kings.

The Kings are also a 16-58 pick contender, and they are back-to-back games today, losing to the Hornets by 1 point at home yesterday.

Is the Hornet relying on the veteran Rasu? Butler's three-pointer took him a win over the Kings on the road. For a playoff spot, every win is crucial for them.

And the king is a broken jar, and it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Zhou Xuan took the initiative to defend against Martin, he had studied Martin's style of play for a long time, and he was confident to defend against him. The first thing to pay attention to is not to be fouled by him.

Zhou Xuan's method is entanglement, and the off-ball defense is very aggressive, not allowing Martin to take the ball easily, which really works. If you don't have the ball in your hand, you won't be whistled for a foul on general physical contact. The rest of the Kings played badly, and the score was quickly pulled apart.

After Miller Sr. and Salmons were sent away, the Kings' offense did not speed up because of this, and the center was slowly soaring, Hawes, who likes outside shooting, and Thompson, a rookie power forward who also likes outside shooting.

To speed things up, Nelson Sr. arranged for Anthony? Randolph started and Turyaf came on the bench. Because the opponent is Benno? Udri and Martin, Ellis also made the starting lineup. It worked wonders, with the Warriors taking the initiative in the fast break.

The Kings were forced to fall into the rhythm of the Warriors and also play fast breaks. At 7 minutes, Zhou Xuan was still fouled twice by Martin and went down to rest. Martin doesn't just shoot people up, his real trick to make fouls is to take the initiative to find confrontation in the breakaway, and he has excellent awareness.

After the game, the old Nelson knew that Zhou Xuan was learning to make fouls, and asked, "How is it, do you understand?" ”

"I totally understand, I still need to study it, and I think by next season at the latest, my breakthroughs and fouls will be sharper than now." Zhou Xuan was substituted, still smiling, anyway, the Warriors led by 11 points.

Martin will hit the man with the ball, pull the ball up when he is about to make physical contact, hold the ball with both hands and move away from the defender, and then use the other half of his body to make physical contact with the person, which can be changed at any time. If the opponent dodges the confrontation, Martin can pull the ball back for a layup, and if the opponent bumps into him, the referee does not blow a foul, and the ball is protected on the other side, and he can also ensure the balance to shoot or pass.

This way of breaking through is very clever, and it is possible to play 2+1 while looking for fouls. Martin's strength lies in the fact that he can still throw the ball in when he leans over after colliding with someone. And Zhou Xuan's shooting will definitely not reach this level, if he wants to improve his scoring ability, he must first practice his shooting more accurately.

In the summer, Zhou Xuan already has a training plan, his body is flexible, and he mainly breaks through, and he can reduce his practice first when shooting. He's done a good job of passing, and rebounding isn't his main task. As long as he works hard in the summer, he believes that his scoring ability can be improved in the new season.

After Zhou Xuan got off the court, the Warriors replaced Azubuike, Martin made fouls and began to exert his power again, and in just three minutes, he went to the free throw line three times, once to make Azubuuk, and twice to cause Marion to foul.

Marion's goal was insidious. Martin grabbed a backcourt rebound, observed the position of his opponent and teammates when he landed, and found Marion beside him with the rest of his eye, and immediately dribbled towards Marion's arms. Marion, who wanted to return to the defense quickly, couldn't dodge and was hit by Martin, who fell to the ground and threw it out, and the referee blew a foul. In desperation, Marion could only be replaced.

In the second quarter, both sides changed to the bench, the Kings were plagued by injuries, and there were only three substitutes available, McCantz, Garcia, and Donte, who played summer league with Zhou Xuan? Green. Udri and Thompson stayed on the court and continued to play.

Green has been very unsatisfactory with the Kings, playing 13 minutes and averaging only 3 per game. 8 points 1. 6 rebounds and 32 percent from the field. 6%, 26% three-point shooting, it's hard to imagine him actually switching to Artest.

The Warriors also switched to the bench, and Dolby and Watson formed a double guard, and the two fought wildly, and the score did not stretch. Facing the underdogs, the elder Nelson wants to examine them to see who can help the team more in the playoffs, and the situation is not very qualified.

The starters returned, and Zhou Xuan continued to defend Martin, and unexpectedly started the singles.

He didn't rely on the block, he received the ball on the right side, shook the ball with the ball, and forcibly broke through the middle, Martin was on his side, Zhou Xuan took the ball with both hands and shook it to the right, and strode towards Martin under his feet. This is exactly the way I learned to play when I just watched Martin play.

Martin himself is good at this trick, of course, he knows that Zhou Xuan can't touch it, so he chooses to dodge. His dodge looked like Zhou Xuan's extremely tough breakthrough success, and the ball pulled back his right hand to score a layup.

Zhou Xuan didn't grasp the step point when he did this kind of action for the second time, and the referee didn't blow it after the physical confrontation, so he could only reluctantly shoot sideways.

After trying twice, Zhou Xuan began to fight well. If you want to turn this move into your regular weapon, you must also improve your success rate through practice.

In the second half, the Warriors continued to run and bomb, and the weakness of Hawes's slow movement speed was caught, and under the impact of Zhou Xuan and Ellis, the Warriors played a wave of 13-2 to widen the difference.

Martin also played a strong role in the attack, but the strength of one person could not lead the team to victory. It's not just that Hoyce doesn't play well, but Nocioni, who transferred from the Bulls, also sucks. His passing ability is poor, relying mainly on fixed-point shooting, and the Kings lack a man who delivers cannonballs to the pitcher.

On the contrary, Nocioni's bench Garcia played well, shooting three-pointers and defending aggressively, and under his entanglement, Jackson only scored two points in the second half.

In the end, 125-108, the Warriors won the game without danger.

Amazingly, Martin was really vigorous in this game, scoring 43 points, 18 of which came from free throws. Ellis also scored 31 points, and Zhou Xuan had 15 points and 16 assists.

In another game against the Clippers, Paul scored 30 points, 16 assists and six steals.

Paul's performance is better than Zhou Xuan, but there is no advantage in assist data, there are still 7 games left to end the season, Paul has no hope of overtaking in the assist list, unless he has more than 10 assists per game, Zhou Xuan plays abnormally, within 5 assists per game, it is too difficult.

To make matters worse, the fate of the Hornets is arguably in the hands of the Warriors, who will face the Suns in the final round. The Hornets will compete with the Suns for the best chance to qualify.
