Chapter 126 Triple-double in the playoffs!

Time flies by, especially during breaks.

The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers are in Game [-] of the second round at Oracle Center!
The Oracle Center was full of people: fans, reporters, commentators, celebrities, etc. Cheers, boos, applause, and whistles formed a sound wave that hit everyone's eardrums.

The ocean composed of pieces of gold kept surging, really like the tide of the wind and waves.

When Zhang Xin came out, the cheers reached the highest point. Zhang Xin enjoyed the cheers of the fans with his face up and his hands raised high.

When Zhang Xin bowed his head, he said softly: "The world is in my generation!"very nice!
Yes, it's great, it's such a great feeling to stir up the world!
Game start.

The Warriors started with Stephen Curry, Zhang Xin, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, Drummond Green.

The Clippers started with Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, JJ Redick, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

Today's Clippers are very different from the last game. The inside line that was restricted in the last game is more active and aggressive today, and it should be arranged in a targeted manner.

Griffin and Jordan played off the ball many times, forcing Green and Bogut to switch defenses. Griffin singled Bogut face-to-face and forced Green to double-team.

Griffin is a very good passer in the interior. He repeatedly passed inside and made empty cuts to Jordan.

Mark Jackson didn't call a timeout, and let the players on the field solve it by themselves. Of course, the score is still in the see-saw stage.

The Clippers mainly attack the inside, and the Warriors are not vegetarians on the outside.

Seeing that Mark Jackson did not call a timeout, Zhang Xin understood what he meant. When the ball was dead, he called a few teammates and discussed it on the field:

"Drummond, you don't need to double-team Griffin, just let Andrew defend, you are always ready to help defend others;

Andrew, you just delay Blake, don't let him rush over, we need time to double-team;
Stephen, just let go of Redick boldly, and I will help you defend;

Klay, you have to be prepared to guard two guys, Chris and Jamal. ..."

Chris Paul organized at the top of the arc and carefully observed the Warriors' rotation. Jordan and Griffin switched defenses, and Paul hit the ball to Griffin.

Griffin observed that there was no one to defend, so he played the ball and rubbed Bogut with confidence, and Bogut held Griffin tightly.

Curry suddenly let go of JJ Redick and went straight to Griffin. Griffin didn't notice, and Curry took the ball away.

Curry directly launched a fast break, Zhang Xin and Thompson divided the left and right two fast breaks, Curry went straight to the basket, Crawford followed Curry closely, Curry made a three-step layup, Crawford took off and blocked the shot, Curry passed the ball behind him, and it was passed to Zhang Xin who rushed to flatter him. Zhang Xin dunked successfully!

Chris Paul saw something was wrong, and immediately made adjustments to allow his teammates to increase their running, so that the Warriors had no time to double-team.

Griffin received the ball and still hit Bogut face-to-face, but Curry chose to rush over. Redick on the weak side of the three-point line was empty, and Griffin quickly passed the ball.

Zhang Xin, who was defending Crawford with his back on his back, suddenly turned around, intercepted the basketball with one hand, and played a fast break.

"Fuvk! How did he find out about my pass? He obviously didn't see the ball?" Griffin was furious.

Zhang Xin was like a flash of lightning, galloping forward, Crawford followed closely, Zhang Xin quickly entered the three-point line, made an emergency stop, and Crawford, who was unable to brake in time, slid far away, Zhang Xin came back Withdrew, chased and made a three-pointer!
The Oracle Center is in a frenzy of fun!
Mark Jackson nodded. Sure enough, it would be good to leave this kind of matter to Zhang Xin. He knew what to do. This kind of game is really leisurely. Mark Jackson looked around easily, relaxed and comfortable.

Griffin was restricted. As a pie-eating center, Jordan Jr. couldn't afford to make trouble. He could only carry people to grab rebounds and occasionally make a second offense.

The Clippers' scoring momentum was contained, and the point difference was gradually widened. When Zhang Xin went to rest, the point difference was stretched to 6 points. In order not to make the same mistake, the Clippers replaced Jordan and Paul for a rest.

Curry and Thompson immediately set off a scoring frenzy, forcing Paul and Griffin, who had not rested for 3 minutes, to switch back, but the point difference has been widened to 15 points.

Paul and Griffin came back and desperately tried to close the point difference, but the Warriors' offense could not be limited at all. The two sides fought against each other, but the score was not close.

Paul felt the same aggrievedness as he did on the court. There was no problem with the offense, but he just couldn't force the score. The Clippers scored more than 120 points in the last game and still failed to win the game. What else could Paul say.

When Zhang Xin played to lead the rotation, the scores of the two sides slowed down, but what slowed down was the rhythm, not the efficiency. The two teams played until the end of the game, and the Clippers failed to close the score.

In the end, the two teams scored 118:128, and the Warriors once again scored a surprisingly high score in the playoffs.

Paul was interviewed after the game.

"...we did everything we could do in this game and we still lost.

... To win the Warriors, you have to be better offensively than him, and you have to be better than him defensively, but there should be none in the league.

…We got almost 120 both times, and we still lost, we had to get 130.

…They seem to be playing 2K, the kind with 98 points in shooting skills, oh, no, even if the points are full in 2K, they are not as accurate as them...

... No, we're not going to throw in the towel, we just lost two road games, we're going to take both home games, the series isn't over yet. "

Coach Mark Jackson was interviewed.

"...we just take the shots that should go in, what? Some shots shouldn't go in, but don't...

Our ball is not reasonable or unreasonable, only whether it is scored or not. You know, for Curry, Zhang Xin, and Thompson, as long as there is a little space, it is the ball that should be shot.

How to evaluate Zhang Xin's performance in the playoffs... It was too explosive, to be honest, I have never seen such a great rookie, he is a great player, and he is already on the road to greatness...

... His playoff statistics so far, after six games, his average per game...is an average triple-double of 28 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds per game! !

……“大O”在1961-62赛季的季后赛中场均贡献28.8分11篮板11助攻的场均三双的数据，但那年的季后赛中罗伯特森只打了4场季后赛。

... Kidd helped the Nets reach the Eastern Conference finals in the 2006-07 playoffs. In 12 games, Kidd averaged 14.6 points, 10.9 rebounds and 10.9 assists per game. He became the second player in NBA history. The player who averaged a triple-double in the postseason.

In the first six playoff games of Zhang Xin's rookie season, he has already averaged a triple-double of 28 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds per game! !He's just a great player, he's on his way to greatness...

If I can let him play 36 minutes per game in the regular season, I estimate that he can average a triple-double in the regular season!His average playing time in the regular season is less than 26 minutes, what a terrible rookie!Fortunately, he is our player, hahaha..."

Mark Jackson laughed extremely happily!
