new lord of the rings

Chapter 119
The general trend of the Dallas Mavericks is over. In the history of the NBA, a team trailing 0:3 has never successfully counterattacked. Without the gunpowder smell of wanting to eat the opponent alive, the score between the two sides was 122:110. The Warriors won the game with a lead of 12 points. They swept the Mavericks 4:0 and became the first team in the West to enter the second round.

The Warriors got a full rest and began to study their opponents in the next round. This year's Western Conference really killed corpses and blood.

Spurs (4): Grizzlies (3);
Thunder (4): Rockets (3);
Clippers (4): Blazers (3);
Except for the Warriors and Mavericks series, all other duels entered the tiebreaker!

The duel between the Grizzlies and the Spurs is a classic. The black and white duo are overwhelming inside the Spurs. Fortunately, the Spurs have Duncan, who can fight against the black and white bears alone. The duel between Tony Parker and Mike Conley is even more exciting. McConley faced Tony Parker did not lose the wind at all. Both sides were slow-paced, grinding their teeth, sucking blood, biting and clawing. In the end, the Spurs were superior and won the tiebreaker;

The duel between the Thunder and the Rockets is like a civil war between the Thunder's three juniors. Durant and Westbrook fight against Harden. Harden this season is already very close to the great Harden. He won three victories with few hands, but Harden had no energy until the seventh time. In the last game, Harden lost his standard. He made 3 of 28 shots and only scored 6 points. The Houston Rockets were out of the game sadly;

The game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers also hit the earth. It was extremely exciting. The power forward battle between Griffin and Aldridge. Griffin and Aldridge are both power forwards with range. Very long, the collision between Paul and Lillard, a young man, is even more exciting. Lillard, a second-year student, is even on par with Paul. Frightened into a cold sweat, Lillard scored 38 points in the fifth battle of Tianwangshan, showing his true nature, but the Clippers were superior in the end. Under Paul's strategizing, they won the seventh game by 4 points. Knock the Blazers out.

The second round of the Western Conference came out:

Warriors: Clippers; Spurs: Thunder.

The results of the first round of the East are also out:
Pacers (4): Eagles (3);
Heat (4): Bobcats (0);
Bulls (1): Wizards (4);
Raptors (3): Nets (4);
After confirming that the opponent in the next round is the Clippers, the Warriors' coaching staff studied the Clippers' game data all night, and then explained the key points and players one by one, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of tactics. .

But there is a hidden worry. The Warriors rest for too long. There are ten days of rest. Although the Warriors have been maintaining a certain intensity of training, training and games are different. If there is no game for a long time, the players will lose the game. Feel.

This is a hidden worry, but there are more benefits. After a long enough rest, the players will recover as much as possible.

The Clippers and the Warriors have met many times during the regular season, and there has been a lot of unhappiness with each other. In fact, the two teams have become a bit of a deadly enemy. I heard that the Clippers are going to fight, and the Warriors are all gearing up and want to fight. , It must be a very cool thing to sweep the Clippers 4:0!
ESPN predicted before the game that the Clippers and the Warriors will reach the tiebreaker. The reason is that the configuration of both sides is very perfect. In order to tell the winner.

This prediction was seen by Griffin. Griffin publicly announced when facing the media: The Clippers will solve the Warriors within 6 games!

The Warriors made an uproar when they heard the news, and they were filled with righteous indignation, saying that they would hit the Clippers severely, and that they would not be able to take care of themselves if they hit the Clippers.

Zhang Xin snickered secretly. Originally, he thought he was looking for an excuse to boost the morale of his teammates, but he didn't expect Griffin's words to arouse the anger of his teammates, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Mark Jackson consulted with Zhang Xin when formulating strategies. Zhang Xin’s tactical quality is worthy of Mark Jackson’s trust. His many suggestions and suggestions have greatly increased the power of the Warriors. The strength of the Warriors is inseparable from the arrival of Zhang Xin.

"Zhang, do you have any thoughts on playing against the Clippers?"

"There are some, coach, if you don't ask me, I will talk to you." Zhang Xin laughed.

Mark Jackson is very interested, Zhang Xin knows that he is definitely a targeted person.

"Oh? Tell me, I'm very interested!"

"Our strength has surpassed the Clippers. Do you have any objections to this coach?"

"...It should be like this." Mark Jackson replied not very readily.

Zhang Xin smiled, Mark Jackson's understanding of his team is still not deep enough.

"If you are stronger than your opponent, that's easy. We'll crush them with majestic teachers. To put it simply, it's you who fight you and I who fight mine. No matter how you fight, I will naturally use my advantage to fight. Alright." Zhang Xin said with a smile.

"……so?"

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up the audience, don't worry about it so much, just speed up. Although the Clippers have Paul, they may not be brought by our rhythm, but the problem with the Clippers is that they know that we want to speed up, but they still guard against it. Without us, the final result is: the two sides are fighting an offensive battle! I don't think anyone in the current alliance can beat us in offense." Zhang Xin said proudly.

"...A battle against attack?" Mark Jackson hesitated.

Zhang Xin didn't urge him either. The Warriors' fault tolerance rate is much higher than before, and tactics can be adjusted while playing. These are not big problems. If Mark Jackson can't make up his mind, he can play slowly. If he makes a mistake, he can adjust it in a single game.

"Coach, it doesn't matter, let's play and see first. If it doesn't work, adjust it at any time. We have accumulated enough routines in the past half season, and we can adjust it according to the opponent's situation on the court at any time!" Zhang Xin laughed. said.

Mark Jackson frowned, yes, this season, because the goal of competing for the championship was set early this season, so too much preparation was made. Unknowingly, the Warriors already had a lot of cards to use. When there is a problem, just turn over the cards and use them.

"Zhang, along the way, you and I know each other the most. Of course, there are many people who have contributed a lot to the Warriors. But you are the one who has raised the upper limit of the Warriors. Others may not know it. , but I know the deepest, how lucky I am to be able to coach such an excellent disciple as you, oh no, we should be in an equal relationship, I can't teach you tactics, but I have benefited a lot from you." Mark Jackson looked rejoicing.

Zhang Xin patted Mark Jackson on the shoulder: "Coach, I am also very grateful that you can trust me so much. You must know that many of my actions have violated your authority as the head coach. You have never expressed any embarrassment and tolerated me everywhere." , let me, if I change to another coach, I may be suppressed, cold storage, coach, thank you!"

Mark Jackson and Zhang Xin cherish each other, and they can't help themselves...

Oh, can't help but this really doesn't exist.
