new lord of the rings

Chapter 112
Rick Carlisle was interviewed after the game.

"The overall situation has been decided?... This is the first game, okay, and we are playing away games, isn't it normal to lose an away game?"

"...There is no way to take Zhang? Although I don't want to admit it, it is true. First, Zhang is indeed very strong. He has too many offensive options, and we have no way to target them;
The second is that the Warriors' system is so good that we have no way to double-team him. Once double-teamed, it is to give others a chance. You know... The Warriors have Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, David Li...we have no way to put all our energy on Zhang Xin alone..."

"...we played well enough most of the time today, but the Warriors' Death Five... I have to say, today we looked embarrassed when the Death Five was there, and we looked weak, but when you guys have a day When you meet the five dead little ones, you will know that it's not that we are too weak, but that the dead five little ones are too strong..."

"The rotation lineup...Zhang Xin is a leader. He shouldn't be the sixth man. No team has such a strong sixth man. Our rotation lineup has done well enough, but there is still no way to close the score. This is One of the reasons we lost today."

Nowitzki was interviewed.

"...It's a pity to lose, but it's only the first game, it's an away game, we'll get back soon...

...I paid close attention to the game between the Warriors and the Spurs last year. At that time, I knew that the Warriors were already on the road to rise, but I didn't expect it to be so fast and become so powerful...Oh, I don't mean to be afraid, I I have great confidence in the team and we will do our best. "

"How to evaluate Zhang?... Zhang is amazing. As a rookie, he has already created many records, single-quarter scoring record, three-quarter scoring record, single-quarter three-point record, single-game three-point record, quadruple double, triple Double... wow, this is a great player, he is on his way to greatness..."

The interval between the playoffs is longer than the regular season, and the next game is two days later, so Zhang Xin has time to summarize the gains and losses of the previous game;

It should be expected to win against the Mavericks. The Warriors' five small lineups are crushed by hard power, no matter which team they are against, they have an advantage;

Whether the defense is good or not is a factor, but in the final analysis it depends on which team has a better offense. Is the Mavericks' offense not good today? Is the defense not good? No, it is actually the reason why the Warriors' offense is sharper;

But the defense still needs to be improved. The Warriors’ defense against the Mavericks’ perimeter was good enough today. They blocked the middle and forced the Mavericks to make mid-range shots and three-pointers. You must know that Calderon and Devon Harris are actually masters in mid-range shots, and they just didn't play out today;

Nowitzki cannot rely on one person to defend alone, but the oppression given to him today is not enough. We still have to resolutely execute the move around the front, and then press the ball holder on the outside to let Nowitzki score every goal. It takes a lot of physical strength. With the physical condition of the old driver, he can't play for too long.

Generally speaking, today's game is mainly won by hard power, and the advantage in strategy is not too great. Zhang Xin's tactics on the field are very effective, but this is determined by reading the game at that time, and The team's overall strategy is still different.

Zhang Xin didn't go out to practice. He also needs to take a good rest. The consumption of the playoffs is much greater than that of the regular season.And today there are guests from China.

"Dong dong dong." Someone was knocking on the door, and Zhang Xin believed that it should be someone from the Basketball Association.

Zhang Xin opened the door and saw that the visitors were Duan Ran, an old acquaintance, and a middle-aged man whom he had never seen before.

"Master Zhang, this is Director Ma of the Basketball Association. Director Ma, Mr. Zhang probably doesn't need my introduction, haha." Duan Ran introduced to Zhang Xin.

Director Ma hurriedly extended his hand to shake Zhang Xin's hand, Zhang Xin also smiled: "Director Ma, welcome, welcome, your presence makes Pengpi shine!"

Director Ma smiled brightly: "Mr. Zhang, how dare you dare to visit us. We interrupted you. Please don't take offense, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xin smiled and shook his head: "How can you call it an interruption? Today is a rest day, and Taylor is going to make an announcement again. I am bored by myself. I will clean up the dust for you two at noon. Come, please come in." Zhang Xin quickly let them in.

The two parties sat down, and Director Ma quietly looked at Zhang Xin: He is indeed a good-looking talent, a good son in a troubled world, he is polite to others, has a sense of propriety in his enthusiasm, and looks like his father. Even if such a person does not play in the NBA, he and His father will also have great achievements in business together.

"Mr. Zhang, we are here to disturb you today. There is nothing important. The main thing is to come here first to get acquainted. If you need Mr. Zhang's help in the future, please ask Mr. Zhang to help." Director Ma said sincerely.

"It's natural, within my ability, of course I'm willing to do anything, but Director Ma, I still have to negotiate with you, because the NBA schedule is very tight, so I hope that some small games will still be played by young domestic players. With lots of people training, I can promise that I will definitely do my best in competitions like the World Cup and the Olympics to win glory for the country, but please forgive me for my inability to compete at the Asian level!" Zhang Xin said firmly.

Zhang Xin's words sound very polite, but his tone is very firm. Director Ma doesn't dare to have an opinion. With Zhang Bole's status in the country, it is really not something that ordinary people dare to provoke, even if it is such a lowly and powerful director Ma. The characters don't dare to provoke easily.

What's more, Zhang Xin now has a great reputation, an international celebrity, not to mention Director Ma, even the Basketball Association dare not easily offend Zhang Xin. In such a situation where both sides are unwilling to offend, it is naturally easy to reach a consensus.

"Master Zhang, what are the arrangements for this year's offseason?" Director Ma asked.

"I should return to China for a while, and then go to the United States to train and prepare for next season." Zhang Xin said with a smile.

"Is there any activity planned for returning home?"

"I'm acting as the spokesperson for Uncle Ding's Anda, maybe Uncle Ding will arrange some promotional activities for me later."

"We need to arrange some meetings. You don't know how much domestic fans want to see you, haha!" Director Ma laughed.

"I think that when the time comes, we can organize activities together with Kishida, hold a few larger activities, and try our best to satisfy the wishes of some loyal fans. What do you think?"

Zhang Xin pondered for a while: "Of course it's possible, but it's best to concentrate and not arrange too many sessions, after all, my time is relatively tight."

"Let's have two games, one in the north and one in the south, how about it? We will implement it first when we go back, and then publicize it in advance, so that loyal fans will naturally gather." Director Ma is very active.

"This is the best, then I will trouble Director Ma." Zhang Xin smiled and nodded to Director Ma.

The two sides discussed some details, and then Zhang Xin took Duan Ran and Director Ma to a Chinese restaurant. They ate and chatted together. It will definitely make you feel like a spring breeze, and Zhang Xin's consistent tutoring is like this. He treats people and things, is modest and gentle, and will make people feel like a spring breeze without knowing it.
