Chapter 286 Child, You Are Too Naive
The game starts at half past eight.

Jump ball, Knicks attack.

He Zhongqiu did not enter the low post, but waited in the high post to set a screen for Nash.

His opponent tonight is Jerome James, who is the same height as him but weighs 136 kilograms. He is a standard meat shield and his mobility is far inferior to his.

So he didn't go into the low post and didn't intend to waste his energy on Jerome James. It was not cost-effective to compete with such a meat shield.

Nash took advantage of He Zhongqiu's pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, bypassed Jerome's switch defense, and entered the penalty area.

At this time, power forward Reggie Evans defended the basket, Nash passed the ball to Karl Malone who was left open, and the Mailman made a successful layup on the right side of the basket.

"When Wolverine pulled Jerome James up from the low post, the Sonics' interior defense completely lost height," Bill Walton said.

"Power forward Reggie Evans is a rebounding machine. He is also very fierce on defense and has a lot of off-court moves, but he is only 203 cm tall." Michael Breen nodded.

Bill Walton said with a grin, "He does have a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but his opponents are Wolverine and the Mailman, so I guess he will play quite politely tonight."

"Haha..." Michael Brin laughed.

0:2, Supersonics attack.

Rashard Lewis pulled directly to the left corner, with Battier defending him. He immediately ran up along the three-point line, but couldn't get rid of Battier.

Finally, Ray Allen took the ball and attacked. He first broke through Nash, but faced Josh Howard's defense and missed the jump shot. He Zhongqiu grabbed the rebound and the Knicks attacked.

Bill Walton said: "Among the top five starters of the Supersonics, Jerome James and Reggie Evans only averaged 4.9 points per game, and the ability of point guard Luke Ridnour was also limited. It all depended on the performance of the twin stars."

Michael Breen said: "If Rashard Lewis can't step up to help Ray Allen, the SuperSonics will lose."

Bill Walton said: "Basically, the Sonics rely on their twin stars. If one of them can't play, there will be no suspense about losing."

When the Knicks attacked, He Zhongqiu was still setting screens for Nash in the high post.

This time, Nash broke through and passed the ball back to He Zhongqiu who was following closely.

"boom!"

After receiving the ball, He Zhongqiu rushed into the penalty area and took off, easily dunking over Reggie Evans who had just come to defend under the basket.

"This is too easy!" Bill Walton laughed.

Michael Breen said: "Jaros James couldn't come back after he went out, and Reggie Evans was too short. The Supersonics couldn't defend against Wolverine's style of play of pulling out and cutting in for a dunk."

"It's hard for Rasheed and Ben Wallace to defend Wolverine together," Bill Walton said.

The Supersonics returned to the offensive end, and Battier continued to follow Lewis.

Fortunately, there is an illegal hand-defense rule. Although it has not been strictly enforced, Battier did not dare to keep his hands on Lewis all the time, allowing Lewis to find an opportunity.

After receiving the ball, Lewis faked a breakthrough and shot, shaking Battier, and immediately shot.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, he shot too quickly and missed.

He Zhongqiu grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Knicks attacked.

It’s the same old routine, Nash breaks through from the top of the arc with the help of He Zhongqiu’s pick-and-roll.

"Bang!"

Lewis doubled from the left wing, and Nash immediately passed the ball to Battier, who took a three-pointer in a small open position, but his luck was a little bad and he missed.

Reggie Evans grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Sonics went on the attack.

The Knicks played a three-two zone defense, with Nash guarding the right wing.

Ray Allen still chose to attack Nash's defensive weakness. He broke through with the ball from the right wing, took a strong step and knocked Nash away.

Facing Josh Howard’s help defense in the high post, he missed his last pull-up jump shot, but this time he chose to continue breaking through.

He changed direction upwards, then broke through Josh Howard and reached the free throw line in two steps.

At this time, He Zhongqiu came out from under the basket, and the Postman defended the basket.

Facing the Wolverine, Ray Allen didn't dare to continue attacking, but instead made a quick stop and jump shot four meters in front of the basket.

He Zhongqiu's defensive ability has been further enhanced this season, especially his help and assist defense, both of which are over 90 levels. This has allowed his block data to exceed that of last season. His current average block data is 3.7 per game, ranking first in the league.

Although he had strong blocking ability last season and had many wonderful shots, his help defense was not good enough, that is, his rim protection ability was still a little lacking, which affected his blocking data.

This is also the reason why Ray Allen doesn't dare to really get to the basket, for fear of being blocked.

But sometimes, you have to bear the brunt of the blame and suffer the consequences.

"Take it!"

He Zhongqiu rushed forward and suddenly blocked all the space for Ray Allen to shoot, and grabbed the ball from the air with one claw.

"Oh ho!"

Madison Square Garden erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"very beautiful!"

Michael Brin shouted excitedly, saying: "Wolverine's block shot and his alley-oop dunk with Nash are two symbols of Madison Square Garden."

Knicks offense.

This time, after attracting the defense, Nash passed the ball to Battier again, and Battier took another open three-pointer.

"brush!"

This time there was no wasted opportunity, it hit the target.

"0:7, the Supersonics' offense can't be played, and the Knicks are in very good shape. It looks like they will win again at home." Bill Walton said.

Michael Breen looked through the data and said, "The Knicks have played 60 regular season games so far, 31 of which were at home, and lost three. Their home winning rate is very high."

"28 wins and 3 losses, this should be considered a devil's home court." Bill Walton laughed.

Michael Breen shook his head and laughed, "If we don't lose at home in the next regular season, it will really be a devil's home court."

In this game, the twin stars of the Supersonics did not play to their star power in Madison Square Garden. They performed mediocrely under the Knicks' defense and eventually lost the game.

The Knicks got their 50th win and 11th loss, first in the league.

On the 14th, the team did not have training. He Zhongqiu practiced the three-body stance training at home for two more hours that day, and then he was promoted.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed level 5 of the Three-Body Stance Practicing of Xingyiquan."

"Congratulations to the host, bones and muscles +10, blood and qi +10, nerve reaction speed +2, strength +1, speed +2, physical fitness +2."

The system prompt came out immediately, and the harvest was not small.

The muscles, bones, qi and blood have all reached level 130, reaction speed level 93, strength level 97, speed level 77, and physical fitness level 98.

My physical fitness had already been upgraded by one level before, and this time it was upgraded by two levels, making it three levels this season.

Next, his Xingyiquan's Five Elements Boxing and Twelve Forms Boxing will soon be upgraded to level 4. I wonder if his qualities will be improved by then.

At this time, in Hong Kong, Zhou Yunfa, who was somewhat desperate, found Xie Si and discussed things with him.

Now he really regretted helping Xie Tingfeng, but at this point, there was no way to regret it.

Especially at the Oscars, he took the initiative to bow to that bastard Wolverine, but was ignored. Wolverine made it clear that he wanted to kill him and make him lose face in front of Dwyane Wolverine and others. He wanted to get revenge for this.

Now he has given up everything.

"Fourth brother, how is Afeng now?"

"Ah Fa, there will be a wedding banquet in a few days, you should come over for a few drinks!" "Sure, sure."

"Ah Fa, I'm sorry to have implicated you this time. I didn't expect that mainlander to be so vicious. You've been implicated by Ah Feng's matter."

Xie Si still felt very sorry for Zhou Yunfa. If Zhou Yunfa had not stood up to support Afeng, there would not be this day.

"That loser Xie Tingfeng better die!"

Zhou Yunfa cursed in his heart, but said with worry on his face: "Fourth brother, have you asked anyone for help? If Afeng continues like this, it will be over."

Xie Si sighed and said, "I found Brother Deng. Lian Gongle has a branch in Canada. I wanted to ask him to teach that mainlander a lesson, or to make peace with him, but he didn't agree."

"Why? As long as Lian Gongle is willing to take action, won't Wolverine be able to deal with him easily?" Zhou Yunfa asked hurriedly.

Xie Si shook his head and said, "He said that Wolverine's influence is too great and he can't move."

Zhou Yunfa was in despair. Even Deng Guang was unwilling to come forward, Long Wu was unwilling to help, and Yang Shoucheng was unable to take care of himself. Who else could he ask for help?
He suddenly thought of someone. If the underworld doesn't work, then he'll try the white world.

"Brother Fa, are you looking for me?"

In a private cafe, Ren Dahua asked with a smile on his face after sitting down.

"Hua Zai, I need your help with something. I owe you a favor." Zhou Yunfa said sincerely.

Ren Dahua's smile froze, and he smiled again and said, "Brother Fa, you tell me."

"Please help us mediate. I don't want to continue fighting with Wolverine." Zhou Yunfa said.

The smile on Ren Dahua's face finally faded. He had expected this to happen.

Because of the incident between Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Weijian, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was in trouble, especially the male artists.

Even he would not have the chance to play the leading role in a TV series released in mainland China.

In other words, after that incident, young people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have no future. The younger generations are unable to make a name for themselves and can only struggle in the city of Hong Kong.

People like Zhou Yunfa fanned the flames, making the whole thing even bigger, to the point where even Chairman Han from China Film Group came out to support Wolverine, and the situation couldn't be resolved at all.

His brother had said that Han Sanping represented the higher-ups' opinion and told him not to get involved.

"Hua Zai, please do me this favor. I will take good care of you." Zhou Yunfa said sincerely.

Hua Dahua sighed: "Brother Fa, why do you think I have the ability to help you?"

"Just talking about peace." Zhou Yunfa said.

Ren Dahua smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fa, you know, I signed with Yinghuang, and Mr. Yang told me in person that Chenglong came forward, but Wolverine rejected his reconciliation."

"I know, that's why I came to you." Zhou Yun said anxiously.

Ren Dahua shook his head and said, "What's the point of looking for me? I'm just a small artist."

"Your brother?" Zhou Yunfa asked tentatively.

Ren Dahua's face changed, he stood up and said coldly: "Brother Fa, my brother is just a Hong Kong policeman, what can he do? Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Ugh!"

Looking at Ren Dahua walking away in anger, Zhou Yunfa gave up.

……

On March 3th, the Knicks faced the Heat at home.

This was the last regular season game between the two teams, who had previously won one and lost one.

CCTV broadcast the game live, Zhang Heli said: "After the Heat got O'Neal, they immediately became the Knicks' strongest opponent in the East, and now they are second in the East.

But this team has more weaknesses than the Knicks, mainly on the defensive end, where the biggest problem is the defense of point guard Damon Jones.

Everyone says Nash's defense is bad, but he still averages 0.7 steals per game, while Damon Jones only averages 0.4.

Damon Jones has been a substitute for many seasons because of his poor defense, but this season the Heat have no one available at the No. 1 position, and he has the ability to pass the ball to the inside, so let this combo guard play as the main point guard. "

Yu Jia nodded and said, "Eddie Jones's defense is good, but he is 34 years old. His investment in defense is not as good as before, especially in assisting defense. He is a little overwhelmed."

Zhang Heli said: "When he plays the No. 198 position, his defense is still OK, but when he plays the No. position, he is not tall enough. He is only cm tall."

"Correct."

Yu Jia nodded and continued, “Wade’s blocking is good, and his assist defense is good, but his main focus is on the offensive end, and he cannot devote all his energy to defense.

In fact, the requirements for outside players to help defense are not as good as those for inside players. The two main inside players of the Heat did not help the outside players enough and could not stop Nash's breakthrough. This is also one of the reasons why the Heat's defense is not as good as the Knicks. "

Zhang Heli continued: "So in terms of helping Damon Jones, the Heat didn't do as well as the Knicks did in helping Nash."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Damon Jones is not as strong as Nash on the offensive end. Nash is mainly responsible for organizing the pass. If he strengthens his personal offense, he really has a chance to score 20+10."

Zhang Heli smiled and said: "If LeBron James is not at the guard position in this All-Star Game, Nash will be the starter."

Yu Jia said: "By the way, he is currently playing as a small forward, but he voted for the guard position. The league is really supporting him."

In the player tunnel, He Zhongqiu had a chat with O'Neal.

"sardine……"

"Shut up!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by an angry O'Neal.

O'Neal said angrily: "Wolverine, when you invited me to play a guest role in the last All-Star Game, you called me the Big Shark."

He Zhongqiu laughed heartily and said happily, "Okay, Great Shark."

Wade came over again and shouted, "Wolverine, after this game, we'll see you in the Eastern Conference Finals."

"Don't jump in front of me."

He Zhongqiu pinned Wade down with a slap, then pushed him away, saying disdainfully, “Being so close to me makes your cheeks look bigger, right?”

Wade gently stroked his big cheek and said proudly, "Do you know which part of me the photographers are most satisfied with? It's here. They think my cheeks are the sexiest."

Seeing Wade's narcissism, He Zhongqiu almost vomited and said unhappily, "Eastern Conference Finals? Maybe you can't keep the second place, then we'll see each other in the second round."

Wade yelled: "The Pistons are three games behind us. They will never catch up with us."

"Making it to the Eastern Conference Finals is also a way to give us some food." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"Hehe, we won the game." Wade said unconvinced.

"Kid, are the regular season and the series the same? You are too naive! Go ask the Big Shark." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

O'Neal stood up to support Wade and said with a fierce face: "Wolverine, you want to defend your title, it's not that easy, I will take care of you."

"Ha ha!"

He Zhongqiu laughed twice, turned his head and said to Nash and others: "They want to stop us from defending the title. Guys, what should we do?"

"Kill them!"

The postman stared at O'Neill and spoke with gritted teeth as if he was going to kill him.

"Yes, kill them!"

Josh Howard and Battier followed suit, and Nash joined in.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Following He Zhongqiu and Karl Malone, these three people also became somewhat ferocious.

The Knicks' five starting players were so powerful that the Heat's big five were immediately suppressed. After all, none of these five players were tough.
