new lord of the rings

Chapter 134

Zhang Xin and Bob Myers left after chatting. It would be good for the management to worry about how to trade. Anyway, with the current team, it is basically enough.

The Warriors have no draft picks, but there are a few undrafted picks that can be cultivated. Although I can't stay in the Warriors for long, the task of the system is to help the Warriors build a dynasty. In fact, with the strength of the Warriors, it is this season and the next The season is hanging a little bit, and if we are more cautious in the following seasons, there will basically be no problems.

Helping the Warriors select a few more good seedlings by myself, and helping the Warriors strengthen their strength in the next season, can be regarded as completing the task of helping the Warriors complete the dynasty. It may not be necessary to help the Warriors win three championships to complete the task.

In this way, Zhang Xin can come out earlier to build his own team. After all, although victory is gratifying, if there are not enough challenges, it will be boring after all.

This season is an incomplete season for Zhang Xin, so the awards in the regular season are basically impossible to win. The next season will be different. Many awards can be contended for, and many records can be broken.

But the most important thing right now is the matter of the Western Conference Finals. Zhang Xin didn't want to be distracted, so he thought about the next season and immediately recalled his thoughts.

With Popovich's resourcefulness and the discipline of the Spurs players, it is not surprising that after summing up the game, and then making targeted measures to restrain the Warriors!
The Warriors also have to correct the mistakes they made in the last game one by one. It is the kingly way to show their own characteristics. If Zhang Xin did not play well in the last game, it is hard to say whether they can win at home.

The Spurs are learning from the pain and trying to make up for the shortcomings of the game. The Warriors are also summarizing and reflecting. The two sides are preparing for the second game of the Western Conference Finals.

On the game day, the Oracle Center was filled with golden waves, and the cheers really roared like a sea tsunami.

The second game between the Warriors and the Spurs begins!
The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Zhang Xin, Andrew Bogut, Drummond Green.

The Spurs started Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, Thiago Splitter.

Neither side has adjusted personnel, and the starting lineup is corresponding.

What the Spurs have to consider is to help Duncan save energy, and the rotation should be more intensive;
What the Warriors have to consider is how to target Duncan, consume Duncan's physical strength, and then fight the transition.

At the start of the game, Bogut and Duncan jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Warriors got the ball.

Curry dribbles the ball downfield with interference from Danny Green, and the Spurs' defensive matchup:
Danny Green defends Curry, Parker defends Thompson who rarely attacks with the ball, Leonard defends Zhang Xin, Duncan watches Bogut, and Splitter watches Green.

This is the lineup that the Spurs have carefully thought out. The defensive leader Leonard must limit Zhang Xin. It is more effective for Curry to let Danny Green defend. Zhang Xin probably ended up being slaughtered. Parker can only defend Thompson's positioning three-pointer. If Thompson makes an air cut, he can keep up with his footsteps, but his body can't handle it. But with Duncan around, defense at the basket can still be guaranteed .

Summarizing the mistakes and omissions of the last game, the Warriors do not pursue speed, but the passing and cutting system must be implemented consistently. Only by playing the passing and cutting and the whole team running can they break the Spurs' defense. If it is only a single, then the Spurs will be hit Pregnant.

Zhang Xin didn't rush to attack, but just helped Thompson after Thompson blocked, and after Thompson blocked, he asked Bogut to block. Everyone in the Warriors moved, non-stop, and the ball didn't touch their hands.

The scene looked dizzying, and it seemed that the rhythm was very fast. If you look closely, each attack took more than ten seconds. This rhythm is actually slow to death, but this style of play has a high hit rate!
According to Zhang Lili, it was running and fighting.

"The Warriors are different from the previous game. This time they ran and played non-stop, the ball didn't stick to their hands, and the entire conduction of the ball was very smooth. Almost every attack had to go through the hands of five people." Yang Yi said.

"The Warriors are playing with the Spurs. The constant off-ball screens and cuts make Duncan exhausted. The Spurs can't keep up with this style of play for too long. Popovich should take Duncan down soon. This is a great deal for Duncan. It's too tiring." Zhang Li said.

After half a quarter, the score between the two sides was 15:19, and the Warriors led by 4 points. Compared with the first quarter of the previous game, which was limited to only 18 points, the Warriors have adjusted their offense.

Popovich frowned: The most dreadful thing happened. Let Zhang Xin beat the game by himself. Although it was very distressing, it was inevitable that Zhang Xin couldn't directly kill the Spurs. That's really killing people.

Popovich quickly took down Duncan, defending this kind of team that runs frequently is still too embarrassing for the elderly Duncan, but defending a superstar team like the Heat, James and Wade are going to go Duncan is the most suitable type of inside breakthrough. As long as Duncan stays at the basket, he can greatly restrict them.

The type of Warriors is not good, you only guard the basket, the Warriors can shoot you directly, Popovich is very distressed, Duncan is the root of the Spurs' strength on the offensive and defensive ends, but facing a team like the Warriors, Duncan's only flaw on the defensive end has also been exposed. Failure to prevent it is now Duncan's biggest loophole.

In fact, it is not a problem for most teams. The big center can defend very little, and not many teams can make a fuss about this, but the Warriors can, because the Warriors have three historical-level shooters...

Popovich played Matt Bonner, Matt Bonner is 208cm tall, he is more than enough to defend Green, Green is not good at offense, and the advantage of Matt Bonner playing is that he is a big shooter, he can help Parker Open space breakthrough.

Popovich's adjustment was effective, Matt Bonner played, Parker made consecutive layups, and the Spurs approached the score.

Zhang Xin immediately suspended the game and asked Mark Jackson to make adjustments. Mark Jackson replaced Bogut and replaced Iguodala. There is a height, and the footsteps must keep up.

With Iguodala's speed, Wu Xiao's contraction is much faster, not only can block the Spurs' three-pointers, but also has obvious restrictions on breakthroughs.

Splitter wanted to beat Green. Splitter was a tough center forward, but he didn't have much advantage against Green. He couldn't handle Green either. In order to switch offenses, a wave of conversion offenses, the Warriors opened the score to 8 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 28 points at 36:8.
