The first game of the Warriors received a lot of attention, which was broadcast live on TNT radio and CCTV5.

After a year, Oracle Arena is once again facing a playoff match. For the local fans, it was like a big festival. Oracle Arena is one of the craziest arenas in the NBA, and for the visiting team, it's also known as the "Devil's Away".

There are no rugby or soccer teams in the area, so those who like sports can only watch basketball. And many Chinese in San Francisco also like to go to the stadium to support Zhou Xuan. And this time around, the Warriors didn't get through the final round like they did in 2007, having home-court advantage in the first two rounds and being the second-seeded in the West. Across the league, they are also third in the official power rankings, behind the Lakers and Cavaliers.

As early as 30 minutes before the official start of the game, the cheers in the stadium were already beginning to erupt, and the fans were as crazy as Jazz Salt Lake City's home stadium, and the noise was in decibels to catch up with the airport.

This is not an exaggeration, they are too imposing. When the players came out, the fans were louder and some people shouted and couldn't hear themselves clearly.

Zhou Xuan did not change his status because of the data, and the last one to appear was Stephen? Jackson, but when Zhou Xuan appeared, there were obviously more supporters than Jackson.

Almost all the fans at the stadium wore a golden yellow T-shirt with "We Are the Warriors" printed on the front. These T-shirts were distributed by the management and placed on the seats of each fan, and everyone consciously wore them. From the first round, they had to give it their all.

Zhou Xuan had never seen the fans so enthusiastic, and when he ran out of the players' tunnel, he had to stop and enjoy such cheers. Before the game started, he felt like he was already a hero.

Old Nelson said the tactics in the locker room, Zhou Xuan and Randolph blocked and dismantled, Jackson and Margeti blocked and dismantled on the side, and Marion withdrew. If the opponent returns quickly enough, he will play positional attack and stabilize the defense.

The Jazz have long been accustomed to playing in such a noisy environment, but they have not been affected much. Sloane's tactics are the same in every game, needless to say.

Barkley was in the live broadcast room, a little quieter, but still sighed: "The atmosphere at the Warriors' home court was very warm before, and it was even more powerful in the playoffs, this is a veritable devil's home court." ”

Kenny? "In this atmosphere, I think it's hard for the Jazz to walk away with a win," Smith said. Zhou Xuan has been practicing three points in the warm-up, and if he still has flaws this season, it is his shooting. Compared with point guards such as Nash, Paul, and Delon, his individual scoring ability is not too strong. ”

Barkley laughed: "Still, I'm bullish on him, after all, this is his first season, and he doesn't have a lot of shots, and he doesn't have too much desire to attack, and he seems to prefer passing the ball to being a super scorer." Delon's first season was 10. 8 points 2. 4 rebounds 4. 5 assists and 42 shooting percentage. 1% is a little lower than Zhou Xuan, rising to 16 in the second season. 2 points 3. 3 rebounds 9. 3 assists on 45-goal shooting. 6%。 As long as you take more offensive responsibility and control the ball within the team, it is easy to improve the scoring statistics. ”

The players on both sides stood in the middle of the court, and the Jazz made a little adjustment. Korver started in place of Myers. Myers was injured before, and although he came back, he didn't start immediately.

The Warriors fielded the strongest lineup with one fat and four small.

The race is on. Randolph lost the jump ball, and the Jazz attacked first. Deron led the half, Jackson was at the top of the arc, and Zhou Xuan followed Korver on the side.

Today Nelson Sr. asked for a mixed defense, which is a relatively easy defensive job and the most reasonable arrangement. Brewer, a strong swingman, was handed over to Margety. The two were in the low post, Randolph and Marion.

Deron dribbled the ball to the front court, did not find a block and dismantle in the high position, the last battle between the two sides, Jackson is at the top of the arc defense, the restrictions on blocking and dismantling are obvious, if they block and dismantle in a high position, Jackson will be with Boozer, will not chase the defense, Marion moves very fast, it is difficult to break through, this is the most powerful point of the Warriors' defense.

He thought about it and passed the ball to the side to Brewer, who in turn lobed it to Boozer in the low post.

The two interior cores of the anti-bone boy and the fat man are in position, and Randolph's defense is terrible, which is a good idea, but Jackson on the side chose the bag without saying a word, and Boozer quickly took the ball after dribbling with his back and almost fell off.

Boozer passed from the perimeter, Marion switched to DeLong and let Collins go.

Jalen? Jason of Collins and the Timberwolves? Collins are twins, both of whom participated in the draft in 2001, and both are pure blue-collar workers who can only score on the basket, and this surname seems to be synonymous with not being able to attack, and the Warriors also have a Maddy? Collins didn't even make the 13-man squad for the playoffs.

Jalen is worse than Jason, who has been with the Jazz since he entered the league and averaged just 1 per game this season. 5 points 1. 4 rebounds. Now that Oku is out, the Jazz have to use him. Another center, Coolfos, is a rookie who has a great physique, but he doesn't have Sloan's trust.

DeLong took a step sideways and passed the ball to the low post, or at least an open spot. But Zhou Xuan suddenly came around from behind Randolph and broke the basketball in front of Collins.

Delong was stunned, Zhou Xuan actually let go of Korver?!

Korver is a pure pitcher, attacking with the ball, and his strategy is not excellent, but his shooting is very accurate, and Zhou Xuan's steal is an absolute gamble, but the bet wins.

When Zhou Xuan was making up Marion's defense, he thought that Delong was likely to pass the inside line, and everyone knew that Korver could not be empty, and there was no reason why those who were already vacant should not pass it.

After the ball was broken, Marion lowered his body like a werewolf and killed the out, misplaced. Zhou Xuan took the ball to the midfield and passed the ball to Marion, who had already gone deep into the basket, if Marion received the ball on the periphery, Delong could prevent a breakthrough, and there was not much he could do to catch the ball under the basket.

The Jazz didn't have a good point guard bench, and he didn't dare to foul, and Marion turned and threw the ball in. 2 to 0.

Barkley said: "After the defense was successful, the beautiful counterattack, Zhou Xuan's ball was too bold. The Jazz interior line doesn't dominate today. ”

Smith said: "If Zhou Xuan comes like this again, I'm afraid it won't work, just now Korver is empty, but Delong didn't see it, if it was Zhou Xuan, I'm afraid this goal would form an assist." ”

The Jazz attacked, and Zhou Xuan followed Korver closely. Korver made off-ball screens on the baseline and Collins. Marion immediately changed his guard and handed Collins to Zhou Xuan. Delon didn't pass and cooperated with Boozer to block and dismantle.

Marion was attracted to Korver, and he couldn't change the pick-and-roll. DeLong had a good idea, but Margeti immediately retreated from the flank to block his way. Delong dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction to the left, opened up the space and passed to Brewer, and Zhou Xuan blocked in front of Brewer.

Corinth was emptied again. Brewer did not have Delon's passing awareness and chose to attack with the ball on his own. Zhou Xuan immediately got close, and Brewer didn't shoot a jump shot despite having a height advantage because he was too slow.

Brewer's biggest weakness is his slow shot, and his shooting stance is weird and unchangeable. He fell on his arm in a horrific car accident as a child, and his right elbow is still not fully extended. As a result, his entire shooting stance has shortcomings, and when he doesn't have much room to shoot, efficiency suffers.

Brewer dribbled with his back and wanted to rely on his muscles to arch Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xuan added his elbow in time to support it, and then retreated half a step back. He used this to create the illusion of being out of position, and Brewer also hit the trick, immediately turning and breaking through from the left. Zhou Xuan took a sideways step to block the breakthrough route, and used his right leg to block Brewer's acceleration. The frame attack did not rush, and Brewer's advantage in strength was not so obvious.

At this time, Brewer regretted a little that it was better to pass Collins earlier. He passed DeLong again, and Jackson and Marion had already completed the change. There was not much time, Deron singled Jackson, changed direction and broke through to create a little space, the emergency stop jump shot was missed, and the rebound was collected by Randolph.

Zhou Xuan got rid of Brewer and ran towards the frontcourt, and Randolph didn't hesitate, throwing the ball to the front court with both hands. Collins and Boozer both turned their heads back to defend and no one stepped forward to interfere with the pass.

Zhou Xuan just caught the ball in the middle of the court, full speed, and rushed into the three-point line, Delon was defending Marion, Zhou Xuan shook a little, put on a shooting pose, Brewer jumped up from the side to block and jumped in front of him. Korver went inside to defend against Marion, Boozer also habitually got inside, and Zhou Xuan gently passed the ball to the right and gave it to Jackson at close range.

The captain was completely empty, and the perimeter jumper, the arc was very flat, and the frame popped in. 5 to 0.

The Jazz attacked, the Warriors defended solidly again, Boozer received the ball in the low post and hit Randolph one, and turned around and didn't score a jumper. Randolph has no other skills, he is really not bad at fighting people in the low post, he has strength, and the opponent is not so easy to enter the three-second zone. The rebound was picked up by Marion.

In these few rounds, Zhou Xuan followed Korver, and after being blocked by the cover, he changed his defense, and the rotation on the periphery kept changing, and there was no vacancy. Now he can be sure that the playoffs are not much different from the regular season.

The reason is very simple, he worked very hard and focused in the regular season, and it is still the same, exactly the same style of play, what difference can it be? And the Jazz team has never been polite to anyone in the regular season.

Zhou Xuan passed the half, and Marion retreated to the bottom corner. Boozer followed, Zhou Xuan analyzed the situation on the court, and found that there was a more effortless way to play than blocking and dismantling, so he passed it to Jackson, and Jackson didn't mess around, and hung it to Randolph in the low post.

Randolph played Collins with his back, and Jalen's defensive ability was not as good as his brother's, although he was 213cm tall and not badly weighted, he moved very slowly.

Randolph dribbled with his back to the ball, swung his left shoulder to the baseline, leaned his back against Collins to the basket and got strong, and shot the basketball with his left hand. 7 to 0.

fell behind at the beginning, and Sloane's face on the sidelines became ugly.
