Chapter 70: The 76ers are too weak; the situation in the east has changed
42:49, Zhou Mubai scored 7 points in a row, instantly overturned the gap and led by 7 points.
Coach Doug Collins couldn't help it anymore and quickly called a timeout.
"wow, the amazing Zhou Mubai, he immediately set off a 7:0 climax when he came on the court, and directly stopped Coach Collins.
No one can restrict Zhou Mubai from the 76ers. Whether it is Turner or Lu Wei, they are all defeated players under Zhou Mubai.
What makes Zhou Mubai scary is that he can always make the most correct choice based on his opponent's defense, as sharp and precise as a scalpel.
The 76ers' defense is also at the forefront in the league, but it becomes riddled with holes under Zhou Mubai's cutting. To achieve this effect, it is not possible to simply break through and pass the ball.
If LeBron James faced the defensive formation of the 76ers, he would never have done better than Zhou Mubai, because James did not have Zhou Mubai's projection.
If the 76ers were facing James, they would never be so embarrassed.
What they are good at is defending James, letting you shoot and shrink your defense, and setting up countless tripping mascots in the three-point line, which will always stop you.
But Zhou Mubai is different. If you defend me and I will break through, I will shoot; if you defend me and I will break through; if you attack me, I will pass the ball, and you can even play without the ball.
When it comes to being omnipotent in skills, Zhou Mubai is the more omnipotent one." Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"bull shit! News came from Chicago that Ross injured his knee and has announced that the season has been reimbursed!" O'Neal exclaimed.
O'Neal's words made Kenny Smith and Barkleychi look at O'Neal: "Really?"
O'Neal nodded: "Chicago has officially announced!"
Kenny Smith and Barkley looked at each other.
"The situation in the East has changed, and without Rose, Chicago cannot confront Orlando."
O'Neal said: "That's true, the Bulls have lost their first home court."
"Then in this way, the Magic will likely complete the following beneficiaries on the beat Chicago, and I think the beneficiaries also include the Miami Heat.
The Magic season ranks seventh, and his strength is definitely weaker than the Bulls.
If Miami can meet Orlando in the second round, they will be much easier in the second round!" Barkley said.
Zhou Mubai learned the news during the halftime break, and he was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
In his opinion, Rose's injury was not accidental, but inevitable.
Ross's playing style is too harmful to his knees. Even if Ross's playing style is... he can still do it? Unlimited recovery ability? I just ask if you are afraid?
This shrinking season has caused too much damage to Ross, and most of his injuries have arisen.
Zhou Mubai knew it very early? Ross's style of play is like fire? If he does not change his style of play, it will be a matter of time before he is seriously injured!
——This is why Zhou Mubai never wants to dunk? He is not willing to do European steps, and he will not do high-speed direction change? These movements are too harmful to his knees.
Although it is not difficult to recover with his recovery ability? But...is it necessary?
Some fans joked that Zhou Mubai was just a floor player, and some Zhou Mubai's black fans said that Zhou Mubai was not tough at all when playing basketball, and was a soft ball, a system player!
Zhou Mubai's fans retorted angrily: "What is toughness? Dribble into the crowd? Rising the hat? I'm going down and stepping on someone else's feet and playing with extremely easy injuries is called toughness?
System player?
A reasonable team is a system player?
Is it a superstar who needs to fight alone?
Zhou Mubai has never been soft at the critical moment. When did the team fall into crisis, it wasn’t Zhou Mubai who stood up?
You say that such a player is a system player, it’s better not to watch the ball without a ball!"
During the D'Antoni era, a reporter asked this question when interviewing Coach D'Antoni? Coach D'Antoni felt it was funny, he said:
"Of course the way to rush in is very necessary? After all, the basket and three-pointers are the best shooting percentage.
Zhou Mubai is not only three points. In fact, his number of times and efficiency of finishing at the basket are among the top in the league? You can check the data on the NBA official website.
The reason why they think that Zhou Mubai only plays at the three-point line is that Zhou Mubai's shot is too accurate and has given them such an impression - Zhou Mubai can only shoot three points!
Actually, it's not like this? Zhou Mubai is not only accurate in three-pointers? He also has better times and efficiency in the basket than many inside players.
Not only that? He also hit a lot in the middle distance, and it can be said that he has basically no obvious offensive flaws."
Less gossip and go back to the game.
The score between the two sides was 54:66 in the first half, and the Knicks widened the gap to 12 points again.
After the start of the second half, Zhou Mubai focused on sorting out the offense, pick-and-split balls, break-through passes, or running without the ball to attract defense and then passes the ball.
Under Zhou Mubai's leadership, the Knicks burst into a 24:8 climax.
At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Mubai scored 38 points, 16 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, with only two mistakes.
Zhou Mubai easily clocked in and got off work during the third festival.
The 76ers' offensive flaws were revealed to the world, and the proud defense was torn into a piece of bad cloth by the Knicks.
In front of the powerful Knicks, the efforts of the 76ers became unremarkable.
Doug Collins said this in an interview after the game.
"We can do more, the defense we are good at is not done well, that's my problem, I'm not prepared enough, but we'll do better in the next game."
Coach Collins was not willing to give in, but in fact, that was the first game, and it was the Knicks' home court, so it was normal to lose the game.
Although Brand and others were bold and fearless in the interview, they were so brave that they were not afraid of challenges, but those who were familiar with psychology could see their timidity.
——Their morale has declined a little, and they are not not working hard. In the face of the Knicks' absolute talent, their efforts are useless!
But this is normal, it is not a war of equality.
The Knicks are the champion who successfully defended their title and are the first in the league this year.
The 76ers are barely squeezed into the playoffs. In fact, with the strength of the 76ers, it would be a dream to squeeze into the playoffs if it weren't for the Eastern Conference.
Because of the existence of the Knicks, the 76ers only won two more games than the Milwaukee Bucks and only won 32 wins. How can they be against the Knicks who have won 51?
The second game started on time. Just like the last game, the game entered the Knicks' rhythm at the beginning, and no matter how hard it was to fight back, it was impossible to catch up.
Especially Zhou Mubai's performance made the 76ers desperate. Zhou Mubai got a few points, but his control over the situation was beyond their imagination.
Once the 76ers showed signs of showing signs of their rise, Zhou Mubai would definitely stand up and suppress them. After a few times, time had come to an end.
After two away games, the morale of the 76ers has been extremely low.
Chapter completed!
