Chapter 914 [Miracles!] 53+7 at half-time! 】
In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan went off the rest as usual, and the Knicks replaced the full bench lineup of Marshall, Gordon, Butler, Beasley, and Aldridge.
The Lakers went on Price, Xavier Henry, Nick Young, Ed Davis, Thackeray.
The Lakers played very methodically off the bench, Price organized, Henry held the ball to block and dismantle, and the two interior grabbed the rebound and immediately counterattacked.
Price is fast, has strong breakouts, and has poor shooting. He played a role on the court, assisting his teammates to score in consecutive assists on the fast break. Relying on energy and speed, the Lakers went on an 11-2 run to narrow the gap to five points.
Marshall is prone to mistakes in his run-and-gun tactics, and this defender is capable but inconsistent and lacks passion. Gordon and Butler also took turns playing iron, and Ade couldn't catch the ball at all.
If it was such a bad game in normal times, the coach would replace them, but this time D'Antoni was not in a hurry to make a substitution. He is not afraid of the Lakers chasing points, and believes that he can change the situation as soon as Zhou Xuan is on board.
Four and a half minutes later, Zhou Xuan and Bledsoe returned to the court, Butler continued to play, Parsons power forward, and Bosh inside. All three frontcourt players shoot well and can maximize the space.
When he came on the court, D'Antoni emphasized letting Zhou Xuan receive the ball and attack, and continue to score.
Bryant also returned to the court, the Lakers attacked first, and Henry made a pull-up jump shot to narrow the gap to just 3 points. The Knicks attacked, Bredsoe controlled the ball over half court, and Zhou Xuan and Bosh covered the reverse run outside the three-point line on the right side.
Randle, who had just come on the court, changed his defense, Zhou Xuan took the ball with both hands and shook it after receiving the ball, and changed his yearning to break through the inside line, Randle stretched out a leg and tripped Zhou Xuan.
This defensive style is a card trick under the premise of lateral movement, Randle did not move his body but only stretched his legs, and the referee immediately blew for a foul. This trick was taught by Kobe, but unfortunately Randle didn't learn it well. McMillan was also very helpless, he had only been on the court for 1 minute, and he fouled for the third time, still on Zhou Xuan.
Bosh continued to cover, the throw-in was issued, Zhou Xuan took the ball outside the three-point line, and Randle hesitated to change the defense again, he was afraid of the fourth foul. Zhou Xuan made a successful acceleration pass, jumped into the basket, and threw a shot before Davis could make up the defense. Davis jumped high and fanned the ball out close to the basket, but the referee blew the ball and counted!
Zhou Xuan scored his 40th point, 53-48.
The Lakers attacked, Price passed to Kobe Bryant to the frontcourt, he was only a role player with limited offensive ability with the ball. Kobe Bryant chose to attack strongly in the face of Zhou Xuan, and continuously dribbled under his crotch to the right side.
Zhou Xuan didn't move his shoulder with Kobe, seeing through it was all a feint, he directly reached forward to steal, stabbed the basketball, and passed under Kobe's crotch. Zhou Xuan picked up the basketball first, attacked quickly alone, turned his head to look behind him, no one caught up, and scored an easy layup. 55-48, 42nd personal point.
Bledsoe ran exceptionally fast, attracting Price's defense.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant asked for the ball to be heads-up, this time Zhou Xuan followed the bottom line, Kobe took the ball with his back and leaned two steps, shook his right shoulder lightly, and forcibly turned to the bottom line. This move was recognized by Zhou Xuan again, or it was not recognized, but Zhou Xuan only defended the bottom line, and if he turned around and threw himself in the middle lane, he would admit it.
According to Zhou Xuantong's analysis, most of Kobe's baseline offense is to turn to the bottom line, and the shooting rate is very high regardless of breakthrough or shooting, and the efficiency of turning to the middle is lower. He waited for Kobe Bryant to turn around, saw the opportunity, jumped lightly, and slashed the basketball with a hand before Kobe Bryant's ball was raised.
Kobe Bryant jumped in the air with two hands and a point action was very exaggerated, landing without chasing the defense, signaling the referee to foul, and the referee ignored him. Zhou Xuan picked up the basketball and passed it to Bledsoe, and he also played a fast break.
Bledsoe took the ball and relied on his speed to break Price, took three steps but did not make a layup, but threw the ball low and high to the rebound and bounced back.
Zhou Xuan often passes the ball in this way, and he has seen a lot in training and games, and Bledsoe has learned. The ball bounced right into the hand of Zhou Xuan, who was inserted on the right side, and Zhou Xuan scored a 60-degree emergency stop jump shot, scoring his 44th personal point. 57 to 48.
Playing together, Zhou Xuan scored continuously, Kobe Bryant made consecutive mistakes, and the core gap between the two teams was not ordinarily large.
The Lakers attacked the position, after blocking and dismantling, Price passed Randle, who passed the ball under the interference of Bledsoe, Kobe Bryant squeezed Zhou Xuan to break through with the ball, Bosh made up for the defense, Kobe Bryant forced the shot out, Davis grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the second offense was successful. 57 to 50.
The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan dislocated Davis after blocking and dismantling, opened up the distance, dribbled under the left side of the crotch continuously, Price chased the defense, Zhou Xuan crossed the ball to the middle, Bosh ignored Kobe Bryant's defense and scored a jump shot. 59 to 50.
Zhang Li said: "Zhou Xuan's fourth assist, Bosh high jump shot is very sure. ”
Yu Jia smiled: "Bosh was called overrated the previous season, and now it has become a typical underestimate. It is worth mentioning that now Lefu has become overrated again, and he is too similar to Bosh's original situation. Even though I lost one game before, I think the Knicks can definitely win against the Cavaliers in the playoffs. ”
In the chat, the Lakers completed an offense, and Henry hit a three-point shot. Having been with the Knicks, Henry is also very daring to vote. He shared playing time with Nick Young and Kobe Bryant, not only shooting, but sometimes he could break through and make beautiful European steps.
The Knicks attacked, and Henry followed Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan didn't force the shot, but still relied on cover to avoid Henry, and opened the distance on the right side, waiting to chase and defend.
Henry didn't go up to chase, he knew how accurate Zhou Xuan's characteristics and Bosh were in the shot, which made Davis miserable. Zhou Xuan continuously dribbled under his crotch and took a small step towards the bottom line, attracted the lateral movement and then dribbled back to his left hand, moved a big step horizontally, and quickly shot at 45 degrees to avoid the block, and hit the cricket ball to score. 61-50, 46th personal score.
Bryant turned low and threw a back-to-back jumper. Looking back, almost in the same position, with the same action, Zhou Xuan singled out Randle and opened a distance of 45 degrees to grab a cricket ball. 63-52, 48th personal point.
McMillan went crazy and asked for a timeout again. He didn't want to see Zhou Xuan cut 50+ in the half, and the Lakers scored only 4 points more than Zhou Xuan.
What made McMillan's back chill even more was Zhou Xuan's character. said that if you play in Kobe's way, you have to score 100 points, and you really have to score a lot. If he is really allowed to do it, it is estimated that Kobe Bryant will not want to continue to play after this season, and he should consider retiring directly. McMillan is also the end of the coach, maybe he will be fired this week and will not wait until the end of the season.
Kobe Bryant was gloomy behind the court. Almost all of them are white eyeballs, and there are no black eyeballs. He really wanted to abolish Zhou Xuan with an elbow now. But Zhou Xuan said in an interview that he was worried about Kobe Bryant's elbow, if he elbowed again, then his elbow would probably be valued by the merchant and make chocolate of the same shape, just like when Tyson bit Holyfield.
McMillan shouted: "Wrap up Zhou Xuan, I'd rather let him assist than let him score again, don't let him shoot lightly, Xavier chases the defense." ”
"Understood." Henry sighed in his heart: then he will definitely pass the ball, and Bosh will definitely throw it.
On the other side, D'Antoni said: "Grab the rebound and play the fast break at any time, and the positional battle Eric will take it to the front court and pass around. Zhou can attack on his own, or he can attract the bag and pass the ball, and decide for himself. ”
Zhou Xuan said to his teammates: "Get ready to catch the ball and shoot, I won't be singles all the time, I hope you will shoot when you catch the ball."
At the start of the game, Jordan Hill replaced Davis.
It's a tragedy that Hill is the best defender for the Lakers right now. He didn't play well in many teams, he was just a role player, he could run and jump, he relied entirely on his physical strength to defend, and his judgment ability was average.
Thackeray, needless to say, was drafted with the 60th pick, and he got his chance last season with too many injuries. He is Nick Young's best brother in the Lakers and is known as "Towel Man". Last season, there was a clash between the Lakers and the Suns, and he was the only one who stepped forward to help when Nick Young was fighting 1v5. He's good at being lively, but he's not playing well.
The Lakers clamped Zhou Xuan, and after blocking and dismantling, Zhou Xuan was misplaced, chasing the defense from the outside, and Zhou Xuan passed to Bosh in the first round, who shot in the middle and hollowed into the net.
One minute later, Zhou Xuan used the same way to attract the bag clip and pass to Anderson to hit a three-point shot, giving his sixth assist.
Then he broke through the trap and scored from the perimeter, and Bosh scored on a mid-range shot. After this assist, the Lakers players began to hesitate, which was simply to ensure that the opponent won.
The Lakers' offense is still dominated by individual singles, and Kobe Bryant's impressive feature in this quarter is the board. First draw the Bosh defense by blocking and dislocation, draw him away from the basket, and then make a strong shot. Hill grabbed three frontcourt rebounds, all of which were converted into scoring. Two violent dunks, one at the free throw line and two free throws.
1 minute and 21 seconds, Bosh covered to help Zhou Xuan get out. He received a pass from Parsons in the bottom right corner and hit a three-pointer to take his personal score to 51.
In the next round, Kobe Bryant jumped up and made a mistake in passing the ball after breaking through, and passed the ball directly to Bledsoe, who made a long pass, Zhou Xuan received the ball and ran to the basket, stopped his right hand to make a layup before the reasonable collision area and then retracted, shook Randle, turned back 180 degrees and scored the ball with his right hand, and scored his 53rd personal point.
In the half, Zhou Xuan scored a terrifying 53 points, 7 assists and 3 steals, and the Knicks led by 13 points at 76-63. At the end of the game, the fans chanted "MVP".
The Lakers players returned to the locker room dejected, and no one wanted to be the backdrop for the opponent to take the supermath.
Zhang Li sighed: "53 points in the half, as long as he scores another 48 points, Zhou Xuan can break Chamberlain's record of 100 points in regular time, which is incredible." ”
Yu Jia smiled: "What's even more incredible is that I have a feeling that 48 points is not a lot of numbers, and Zhou Xuan may also assist in a double, so it is easier for him to send three assists." As long as the Lakers don't lose in the third quarter, he's likely to score a double-double while scoring high. Look at this play, the whole game is at least 70+10. ”
Many players who did not play followed Zhou Xuan and updated Twitter. Many fans posted on the Internet to discuss, and Chinese fans are looking forward to Zhou Xuan breaking the record again.
American radio stations TNT and ESPN regretted not choosing the live broadcast time.
