Chapter 168 We Have Found a Way to Win
This is actually the Warriors' style of play in the old Nelson era - "speed, freedom, and space". Everyone has the authority to attack independently, as long as they think it is an opportunity, they can make a move.

Since they lack the foundation of team basketball, Zhang Yu simply let them go back to the old way of chaotic warfare. This is the only way to solve the Warriors' offense. Otherwise, they will forcefully promote the triangle offense like Zen Master and Fisher went to the Knicks. But it doesn't fit the team at all, and the result can only be that the team is at the bottom and his reputation is ruined.

But Zhang Yu still made a certain change-chaotic warfare can be fought, and autonomy can also be given, but it is absolutely not possible to cast wildly.

If anyone dares to catch the ball like last season, and make a random three-pointer when there is still a lot of attack time, don't even think about playing.

Of course, except for Curry, Zhang Yu gave him unlimited shooting rights. As long as halftime passed, Curry could shoot three-pointers at will. Even if he thinks that halftime is a good opportunity, it is not impossible to shoot...

In the first quarter, the Warriors fully implemented the bombardment + positional warfare DDM tactical variant of play, and the offensive authority was dispersed, which made Fred's pre-match key defense against Curry's tactics self-defeating.

At this time, the Bulls did not have the impenetrable defense of Thibodeau's time. Noah also entered the league not long ago. He is not a DPOY center at his peak. His ability to protect the frame needs to be improved. The Warriors' chaotic style caught them by surprise , The first quarter took a 30-point lead at 25:5.

This is still the result of Rose's desire to attack, hitting the basket frequently, and scoring 10 points in a single quarter. If it weren't for his performance, the Bulls would only fall behind even more.

In the ensuing games, the Warriors continued to stick to this style of play, while Fred was mediocre. In fact, he did not have the ability to serve as a head coach. It was just a temporary transitional choice for the Bulls. I only know to emphasize "defend well, don't let the opponent rush in!"

And Azubuike, Butler, Lowry, Reggie Williams and Watson all showed a strong impact, desperately going to the basket, wishing that every ball was used to attack the frame.

It is difficult for them to play pass cuts and find teammates, but to let them go to the basket without brains is exactly what they want, and the effect is also very significant. Noah had 5 fouls on his back before the third quarter, and he almost dared not Reached out.

On the defensive end, Zhang Yu took advantage of the flaws in the Bulls' lineup, shrank the basket, and defended the zone defense, which made the Bulls' offense stagnate all of a sudden.

Except for Luol Deng and John Sammons, there is no player in the Bulls with a three-point shooting rate of more than 30%. John Sammons has a bad long-range shot in this game, and he made 7 of 1 three-pointers in the game, which made the Bulls completely Out of space.

And Butler, who was defending Rose, waited at the free throw line and let Rose shoot a three-pointer, but Rose really didn't dare to shoot. His three-pointer was terrible, or at least he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

The current Rose is not the old Rose who was accurate three-pointers later, but the young Rose who can't wait to fly the ball into the sky and play without slowing down in disguise.

Facing Butler's humiliating defense, he tried to shoot two three-pointers, both of which were outrageous, and he simply went to the basket, but the Warriors shrunk very much, blocking his breakthrough space, and he split the ball. The teammates couldn't punish the Warriors for emptying, and the Warriors seized the opportunity to counterattack the bounced rebound.

Since then, the score has been gradually opened up. At 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Warriors led the Bulls by 90 points 73:17. Take the shot and concede.

Zhang Yu didn't get into trouble because of Fred's taunt before the game, and took advantage of the dead ball to replace the starter, and the game entered garbage time.

Zhang Yu gave Danny Green a chance to level up and asked the players to pass him more passes, but Danny Green didn't have many opportunities to play, and he was a little nervous after his appearance. He made 6 of 1 three-pointers and only scored 3 points and 2 rebounds.

But Zhang Yu didn't mean to blame him at all, instead he kept encouraging him.

The Warriors have a lot of talent on the front line and guard line. Danny Green is the team's third choice, and it is difficult to get a chance to play. At present, he will follow the training plan formulated by the coaching staff and use Butler as an example to practice three-pointers. and defense.

Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, he will be used as a reserve 3D player on the Warriors' bench, slowly cultivated, let him play and exercise in garbage time, and save it to contribute to the team in the future.

In the end, as Danny Green's three-pointer missed the basket, the game ended. The Warriors defeated the Bulls 98:84.

库里状态还是没有恢复的迹象，仅仅得到15分5助攻3篮板，三分只有8投3中。

Fortunately, five Warriors scored in double figures. Azubuike regained his familiar rhythm and scored 5 points, while Butler scored 22 points.

Biedrins relied on fast breaks to eat cakes and steadily scored a double-double of 12 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. He is not the kind of player who often surprises people, but it is very reassuring.

He works hard on both ends of the offense and defense, and is perfectly capable of doing things that blue-collars should do, such as eating cakes, covering screens, grabbing rebounds, and protecting the frame.

Although he received a salary of 900 million, ranking second in the team, he was definitely worth the money. He contributed double-doubles every game and averaged 2.1 blocks per game, ranking among the top ten in the league.

When Zhang Yu saw him, he thought of Capela in his previous life. Capela was still better in athleticism and stronger in misplacement defense, but he was a little thinner, and it was a bit difficult to defend against a large-tonnage center.

After Zhang Yu took over the Warriors, he teamed up with Brand Payne to formulate a brand new training plan for Biedrins, allowing him to stop blindly gaining weight and low-post training, and further exercise his explosive power and mobility to be a pure player. blue-collar center forward.

Although this makes it more difficult for Biedlins to defend the big center in the low post, and almost completely loses his ability to attack independently, but eating cakes, changing defenses and protecting the frame are stronger, and overall the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

After all, this is an era when traditional centers are gradually withering. It is not the era when all teams must hoard a meat shield center in order to deal with the Sharks.

In this game, Biedrins showed his own characteristics perfectly. Although Rose made a difficult layup with both hands in the opening game, he effectively restricted Rose's attack in the subsequent games. The frame has become a solid inside barrier for the Warriors.

And Noah, Brand Miller and others are not insiders with excellent low-post singles ability, and Biedrins' weakness in defending low-post gaps has not been exposed

For the Bulls, Rose scored 25 points with 24 shots. The efficiency is very poor, but there is no way. We met next time.

In addition, Luol Deng had 18 points and 7 rebounds. Looking at both offensive and defensive ends, he was the best player on the Bulls, but it was of no avail.

At the end of the game, in a box, Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Gal Forman, who just took office this year, were watching the game.

When the result of the game was settled, Reinsdorf glanced around, taking into account the angry and unwilling expressions of the home fans. He turned his eyes to Fred, who was looking ugly on the sidelines, and said indifferently with no expression on his face:
"Gal, I don't think coach Fred is suitable for us. The Bulls need a stronger head coach."

He has experienced the Bulls' most brilliant six-time crown dynasty, and was scolded by countless fans after Jordan retired, and he didn't care about winning or losing a game at all.

But he knows that Fred is not the one who can lead the Bulls back to the top. If the Bulls want to regain their glory, they need a stronger head coach.

He looked at Zhang Yu, who was smiling with his hands folded across his chest, with some appreciation in his eyes.

In his opinion, Zhang Yu is a very good candidate. He is good at training young players, has outstanding tactical literacy, strong on-the-spot adaptability, and high commercial value. Unfortunately, he is the owner of the Warriors and is destined to be impossible to coach other teams.

Galforman showed a gentle smile:

"I understand, but we need to wait for the end of the season. After all, the team's momentum is just right and we need a reason."

Reinsdorf nodded and said softly:

"I am patient and I trust your professional ability very much. Just let it go. I hope that within three years, the Bulls can return to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals."

Galforman said solemnly:
"As you wish!"

Fred naturally didn’t know that he only had one last season left in the Bulls. After the game, he told reporters that the reason for the Bulls’ loss was not tactics, but because Zhang Yu used a “cunning” way to win. The Bulls Will win it back in the next game.

As everyone knows, this made his evaluation in Galforman's mind even lower, and he even began to look for a new head coach candidate, not giving him a chance.

And Zhang Yu declared in an interview after the game:
"As you can see, we have found a way to win. The four-game losing streak is just an accident. The Warriors are back on the right path!"

……

After the game against the Bulls, the Warriors continued their Eastern Conference road trip against the Pistons and the 76ers.

The current Pistons are different, and they are no longer the commoner Tigers team that beat the Lakers to win the championship four years ago. The old rival Celtics continue to eat T, Ben Wallace is also getting old, and he no longer has the peak demeanor of four consecutive DPOYs.

The Pistons also fell down. From the championship to the tyrants who broke into the Eastern Conference Finals in successive years, they quickly fell to the fringe of the playoffs. Last season, they only entered the playoffs in the eighth place in the East. Even making the playoffs is dangerous.

Joe Dumars, the Pistons' former champion and current president, is particularly fond of Rodney Stuckey, who was selected with the No. 2007 pick in the first round in 15.

Even with Prince, Iverson, Hamilton and other stars in the team, he still cultivated him and established him as the core of the team. He is sure that he will become the son of destiny to lead the Pistons back to the finals stage. .

But Rodney Stuckey is a lone wolf guard who likes to play alone with the ball. He knows everything but is not good at anything.

His average number of shots per game this season is almost the same as that of Hamilton, reaching 15.2 times, but he only hits 6.2 shots per game.

But even so, Joe Dumars still trusts Rodney Stuckey, firmly believes that he will become a superstar in the future, and unswervingly let him be the master of the Pistons.

No one knows where his confidence in Rodney Stucky came from. Pistons fans gave Rodney Stucky a nickname-"Prince Key" to show their "respect" to the team's prince. "meaning.

In this game, Tai Ziji played bravely and played a melodious steel song at the Palace of Auburn Hills. He took 21 shots and hit 16 irons, helping the Warriors win easily.

Halfway through the game, Pistons head coach John Custer's face turned blue, and he looked at Tai Ziji more and more wrongly, as if he was about to rush into the field and eat him.

But with the emperor Joe Dumars in charge, he, a temporary head coach who has no tomorrow, dared not make any mistakes. He could only watch Prince Kei continue to play bravely and lead the Pistons to failure.

Zhang Yu was interviewed after the game. The reporter asked him who was the best player of the Warriors in this game. He almost said Rodney Stucky's name...

With the full help of Tai Ziji, the Warriors easily defeated the Pistons. Curry showed some signs of recovery. He made 9 of 3 three-pointers and finally returned to more than 30%. He scored a double-double with 16 points and 11 assists.

After playing the Pistons, the Warriors went to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers, and Zhang Yu also met an "old acquaintance".

The 76ers at this time are not the super bad team a few years later, but regulars in the playoffs.

As the core of the team, "Little AI" Iguodala averaged 18.8 points, 5.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game last season. In the game, he signed a 76-year $6 million contract with the team. The future is bright, and he will be selected as an All-Star just around the corner.

Only Zhang Yu knows that the pinnacle of Iguodala's life is not in Philadelphia, but in Golden State. He won the FMVP as the sixth man in today's opponents. This is everyone, including Iguodala himself. , things that I can't even imagine.

It’s just that time has changed. With the addition of Zhang Yu, the butterfly, the Warriors ushered in great changes. Iguodala’s future is destined not to be the same as Zhang Yu’s previous life. He may never have the chance to get the FMVP trophy again.

In this game, Iguodala scored 23 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. He showed off his unparalleled chopping skills and went all out on both offense and defense.

In addition, Thaddeus Young scored 22 points and 11 rebounds, Zhu Huo Ledi had 15 points and 4 assists, and Iverson, who had returned to his roots, made a small test, making 10 of 7 shots, scoring 20 points while walking in the court, helping 76 The Warriors beat the Warriors.

For Zhang Yu, the only consolation is that Curry's state has accelerated. He made 11 of 5 three-pointers and his shooting percentage returned to normal levels. A strong defense restricted the Warriors to lose the game, and the three-game winning streak ended.

After this game, the Warriors finally ended their road trip and returned to Oakland.

Their next opponent is the first Spurs team full of "Ludo".
