Second round Knicks vs Pacers. After last season's battle, the two sides know each other very well.

Experts predict that this will be a battle of dragons. Last season, the Knicks were the biggest dark horse in the East, and this year's dark horse is the Pacers.

This is the last year of general manager "Big Bird" Bird, during his tenure he has been praised by experts, but the Pacers have not made much progress, this season has finally proved the wisdom of Big Bird, the Pacers have not only added experienced veterans like David West, but also added excellent outside rookie Sam Porter, both of whom have played at a very high level, Sam Porter's shrewd defense, West's experience, is exactly what this young Pacers team needs.

Of course, the Pacers also have weaknesses, such as the height of the No. 4 position. WEST IS ONLY 206CM TALL, AND THE KNICKS CAN PLAY SMALL-BALL TACTICS TO THEIR HEART'S CONTENT. Looking at height and weight, Jamison and Gallinari can all be paired with West.

The Pacers don't yet have an orthodox point guard. Sam Porter's starters are equivalent to two shooting guards, and the playmaking is a bit worse. Collison was too short last time and couldn't defend well.

Zhou Xuan didn't really care who the opponent was, anyway, sooner or later, they would have to meet each other, they would defeat them one by one, this was absolute confidence. As long as the Knicks are strong enough, they will only be afraid of their opponents, and they have won the regular season championship for two consecutive seasons.

In the past few days, in addition to watching football games, Zhou Xuan has been cooking, chatting, watching movies, and playing games for the two beauties at home. also went shopping to buy ingredients together, and was photographed by fans and fans.

The relationship between the three seems a bit strange, mainly because Emma Watson doesn't like to use too much brains in life. She has experienced the divorce of her parents since she was a child, and now she is a little bit of a red dust. She starred in blockbusters before graduating from elementary school, traveled around the world to do publicity, and was very confident in her charm.

Emma is not worried about Zhou Xuan's cheating behavior at all, and she gets along well with Chloe. When chatting, Zhou Xuan realized that it was not Emma who was pretending to be generous, but that he didn't regard Kolo as an opponent at all. In Emma's words, "She had to slide down in her breasts, and she had to lift her ...... up with her hands from time to time."

Although Kolo is about 1.7 meters tall, it is an indisputable fact that she has no breasts, and a woman's self-confidence comes from her breasts. In fact, Emma is also tragic, but she is stronger than Kolo by virtue of her age.

Emma's most reassuring thing is that the United States is very strict in regulating underage sex. If you have sex before the age of 16, you will be convicted of rape if you report it, a felony in the first degree.

In this case, nothing could happen to Zhou Xuan and Kolo, and it was even more impossible for Zhou Xuan to do such a discredited thing. In Emma's eyes, Zhou Xuan has always been a smart person and will not do stupid things. If the relationship between the two is not close enough, what can it become? At most, there are multiple children in the family playing together.

Kolo never said that he had feelings for Zhou Xuan that went beyond friendship. She is very mature, knowing that she is young, and her current idea is to prevent Zhou Xuan and Emma from getting married too early, as long as she is not married, she will talk about it when she grows up, and now she will get along like this.

At her age, she is just curious about the relationship between men and women, not to the point where she is uncomfortable without intimacy. So she doesn't feel bad, and occasionally a little bit of vinegar will not be distressed. In the movie, she played a super killer, and in reality she is also a more domineering person, not just being very arrogant when she is interviewed.

As for Zhou Xuan, he still adheres to the habit of going with the flow. Sometimes he wonders if he is a little irresponsible for doing this, as if he is pretending to be confused, but he really "responsible" him does not know what to do. As the saying goes, it's hard to be confused, it's not easy to change, or you don't want to change things that are better than silently enduring.

Zhou Xuan thinks it's very good in his current life. After filming, Elizabeth Olsen also returned to New York and often came to visit the house. The three beauties have different personalities, and they enjoy getting along with him, although two of them have a pure relationship with him.

On the 14th, the first battle between the two sides began at Madison Square Garden.

When the players appeared, Zhou Xuan didn't do any more special effects shows, that kind of thing was just done once, if he did it often, he was afraid that one day the rope would break and he would be seriously injured.

Zhou Xuan's face was expressionless when he appeared, making it impossible to guess his thoughts. The Knicks were expressionless as the rest of the Knicks, which D'Antoni asked for, and doing so would put psychological pressure on the opponent. This is the best expression, if you are smiling and looking relaxed, the other person will think that they are underestimating, or they are relaxed, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Even if you don't have a chance, you will feel a little more comfortable.

The Pacers players are equally serious, led by Granger. They think that the game is not easy to play, so they have this expression of having no money to pay off their debts, and gambling debts are repaid.

Su Qun said: "Last season, the Pacers were swept by the Knicks, and now with Chandler, the Knicks' defensive intensity has improved, and I wonder if the Pacers can win this time." ”

Yang Jian smiled: "I've seen enough." Although there is a lack of a strong offensive point, the Knicks have become more balanced offensively and defensively. Chandler is likely to win the Defensive Player of the Year this season, and his arrival has changed the team's overall defense. When the Knicks sent Pekovic, many people felt sorry, but now, everyone feels that they have done a good business. ”

"In the past, the Knicks won the game with a passionate offense, but now they can win on defense when they play a very dull game, and they are stronger than before," Su said. ”

Looking at the record is strong, some people say that the Knicks' game is not bloody enough, and this statement has never stopped. In fact, enthusiasm has never been the most important factor in winning in the NBA. Being able to analyze the situation with a clear mind and cooperate is a necessary quality for a strong team. Even if the Lakers won the championship in 2010, they kept blocking and dismantling, and the air cut could win. It's not a contest between stars at all.

The Knicks reached the finals once, won the regular season for the second year in a row, and they were already condescending against the Pacers. Don't fight before the game, don't say things like "I must beat you", "I want to limit so-and-so". Winning is normal, losing is news. All Knicks players thought so, and before the game started, they had the upper hand psychologically.

The Knicks started Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Battier, Gallinari, and Chandler.

The Pacers started Sam Porter, George, Granger, West, Hibbert.

Both sides are tall, with the Knicks having a slight upper hand in mobility. Chandler jumped the ball to beat Hibbert, and the game began.

Sam Potter pressed on Zhou Xuan, and Gallinari covered just after half time to help Zhou Xuan get rid of it.

Gallinari plays power forward, and the opponent presses the defender as a cocoon. Zhou Xuan broke through to the left, attracted West to chase after the defense, and passed the ball to Gallinari, who cut in the middle, who received the ball and made a jumper, dodged Sam Porter's block, and missed the shot, but the opportunity was good. Chandler rushed to grab the rebound and scored in the second offense. 2 to 0.

As soon as he came up, Hibbert exposed his weakness, he only had height and no tonnage. The center can not grab many boards, but it must be guaranteed that the opponent cannot grab either. Like Perkins, he doesn't average many rebounds per game, but the opposing center also has a relatively low rebound, and he can also help outside players get boards. Hibbert didn't resist.

The Pacers attacked, the Knicks used a joint defense, Battier was responsible for the top of the arc, and Zhou Xuan went to the right side. This position is not easy to be pulled by opponents to shoot, he has studied the information in detail, and the Pacers are not allowed to pull out outside the three-point line on the right side.

Granger ran without the ball and leaned against Zhou Xuan on the right side, asking for the ball to play alone. Zhou Xuan elbowed him, close to the defense, Matthews was ready to let go of the bottom corner of Sam Potter's bag.

Granger leaned on his back twice and turned to the right, Zhou Xuan always stuck one leg on him, disrupting the rhythm. Realizing that the opportunity was not good, Granger passed to Sam Porter, who played point guard but was as tall as Matthews, and couldn't break through to pass to George, who in turn hoisted to West.

West singled Gallinari, leaned in and turned around and missed the shot. Gallinari relied on his excellent height and reach to close the ball. Battier grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to Zhou Xuan.

In the Knicks positional battle, the frontcourt double-block helped Zhou Xuan get rid of Sam Porter and West, and Hibbert changed the defense in time, giving Zhou Xuan very little room to play on the bottom line.

Hibbert was named an All-Star, he has his strengths, and the Pacers have been great defensively this season. Zhou Xuan analyzed it, and the jump shot in front of Hibbert was easily blocked, and Sam Porter also caught up. He turned and distributed the ball to the perimeter, where Gallinari received it.

George made up the defense, Gallinari gave the ball to Matthews, Granger made up the defense, Matthews passed to Battier, and West went to supplement Battier. Beautiful switching, Battier made a three-point shot in the bottom corner of the right side under interference, and bounced out of the frame. West grabbed the rebound.

The Knicks also blocked a ball, and Zhou Xuan accelerated the pace of the offense and passed to Matthews for a fast break. George is tall, no slower than Matthews, and the return defense is timely, Matthews passes, and Gallinari grabs the shot and doesn't score.

The opening two sides set the tone for striking iron. The Pacers rotate very quickly, basically ensuring that there is someone in front of them every time an opponent shoots. The Knicks' defense was similarly tight, with all five players on the floor working hard.

Granger missed 4 consecutive shots, which was very unqualified.

Zhou Xuan didn't play well, he fell into the bag several times, the Pacers knew the weaknesses of the Knicks, there was only one organization point on the court, after Zhou Xuan passed, others couldn't organize, and the forced shot hit rate was not high.

In the second half, the Knicks replaced Miller and Zhou Xuan to form a double guard, and their height dropped again, and George shot a three-pointer. However, the Knicks also relied on defensive counterattacks to score two goals.

In this game, Zhou Xuan deeply experienced the defensive intensity of the playoffs, not only to keep up tightly, but also to be fierce in terms of physical confrontation.

In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan scored 4 points and 3 assists, and the two sides were tied 16-16.

Rarely did the Knicks' offense suck this badly, and the Pacers played out in the first quarter.
