new lord of the rings

Chapter 139 The Terrible Golden State Warriors!

Parker felt that his footsteps were getting slower and slower, while Zhang Xin on the opposite side was getting faster and faster. After he switched to Zhang Xin, he thought that Zhang Xin would use his height and weight to hit him back. Turning around and passing him, Parker watched Zhang Xin get farther and farther away from him in despair.

The generals of the Spurs feel that they can't keep up with the pace after the Warriors speed up. How terrifying is the running of the Warriors who have been suppressed for more than two games, probably... like a wild dog that has taken off its cover. .

The tide is gone!Popovich was expressionless, but he sighed heavily in his heart.

Popovich has made too much effort to suppress the rhythm of the Warriors. Every detail must be considered and arranged. If some details are not done well, it will collapse like termites.

Today's warriors are like floods that break through the dams.

With the Warriors leading the Spurs by 20 points after the fourth half, with five minutes left in the game, Popovich looked at the timer, shook his head, and put on a rotation.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 118:99. The Warriors led by 19 points and the Spurs 3:0. It can be said that the Warriors have already won the series. No team in NBA history can reverse a 0:3 deficit. .

Zhang Xin scored 42 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds in this game, breaking his playoff scoring record.

库里拿下25分8助攻5篮板，汤普森拿下19分3助攻5篮板，海啸兄弟合砍86分！真正做到威压全联盟的后场无疑。

In the game a few days later, when the Spurs fell behind 0:3, they still fought against the beast. With the joint efforts of the Warriors, they finally suppressed it. The score of the fourth game of the series was 115:111, and the Warriors won the Western Conference. The finals, after many years, finally advanced to the finals again!
In the fourth game between the Heat and the Pacers, the score was 3:1. The Heat were close to victory. The news that the Warriors swept the Spurs 4:0 reached the ears of LeBron James and Wade. When James and Wade heard When I got this news, my heart was shocked!
They knew how powerful the Spurs were, and such a powerful Spurs were swept away! !
The teams that fell at the Warriors' feet were the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the San Antonio Spurs. Without exception, they all swept 4:0! !
Now the Golden State Warriors are facing each other across the river, holding bloody long swords in their hands, waiting for the Heat to deal with the surviving Pacers and then go to challenge him. James and Wade’s scalp is a little numb. The Spurs and Warriors can accept whoever breaks through the West. But this opponent who swept all the way 4:0 is really terrifying!
Today, the strength of the Golden State Warriors has been recognized by the world. The Dallas Mavericks can be said to be poor and weak. The Los Angeles Clippers can be said to be in harmony with the Warriors. Duncan, who has the eccentric Ginobili, the fast French sports car Parker, and the most scheming and decisive coach Popovich in the league, was swept away by the Golden State Warriors. Apart from strength, is there anything else? explanation?
Zhang Xin knows that this is actually a fluke. The Spurs and the Warriors have different styles. The Spurs are slow and the Warriors are fast. If it is the Warrior from before, under the suppressing rhythm of the Spurs, it is normal to win a game and lose a game. The rhythm, but because of Zhang Xin, the team can slow down. Zhang Xin is the X factor, and it is this X factor that made the Spurs collapse thousands of miles.

Time is also life.

After the game, Popovich accepted an interview. Now that the game is over, Popovich is not afraid to say a few more words.

"After four games, none of us lost by luck. The Warriors defeated us steadily and with strength, and I was convinced by the loss...

I tried my best to suppress the rhythm of the Warriors and prevent the Warriors from speeding up. In fact, we have done a good job, but I must admit that I am afraid of being young. I have made a lot of preparations, but what I did not expect is that we are no longer five. Years ago we were..."

Popovich touched his white beard, smiled and said to the reporter: "You see, I am old too."

Popovich looked sideways at the depressed Duncan, and smiled: "Tim, don't be unhappy, the present and the future belong to young people, this is the NBA!"

Duncan smiled reluctantly. Duncan looks cute on the surface, but his competitive spirit is no worse than anyone else. A player who can win four championship rings is still a tireless pursuit of the championship at the end of his career. Ring, such a competitive spirit is so strong!
It's just that, since ancient times, beauties have lamented their twilight, and heroes are not allowed to see their gray hair!

"Before the start of the playoffs, I didn't think anyone in the West was the opponent of the Spurs. Yes, no. I know how strong the Spurs are this year. We were swept by the Warriors. It's not that we are weak, but that the Warriors have It's so powerful that we look up to it, it's really terrifying!" Popovich sighed and shook his head.

"... Curry is of course scary. He is like Jordan. Zhang Xin doesn't look like Jordan now. He is himself. The unique Zhang Xin. His scary thing may lie in his ability to control the field. Right... yes, the ability to control the field, this is a comprehensive ability that consists of the ability to read the game, through your own scoring ability and passing ability, to tightly control the situation of the game in your own hands, very powerful.

Of course, there are some top stars who have this ability, some through their unparalleled offensive ability, and some through their organizational passing, but there are too few people like Zhang Xin who can do whatever they want and adjust at any time according to the needs of the game. Why do I say Zhang Xin is unique. "It is very rare for Popovich to praise Zhang Xin in his words. No one has ever seen Popovich praise a person so much.

When Zhang Xin put on the hat of the western champion, Zhang Xin burst into tears: the persistence and dream of more than 30 years in the previous life are fully blooming at this moment!

Teammates know how hard Zhang Xin is. Individual training is the longest, team training is the most serious, gym strength is the fastest growing, diet control is the strictest among teammates, and he lives in seclusion. Except for training It’s just reading, besides reading is studying tactics, carefully caring for the atmosphere and emotions in the team, constantly providing psychological counseling for teammates, and channeling the slack emotions in the team...

Although Zhang Xin is not the boss in name, at least the boss of this Warriors team is still Curry, but what Zhang Xin does is not only what a boss does, but also coaches, but no one is jealous or has gossip. One is that these are good teammates, but Zhang Xin's mind is very pure, he is for the team to win, not for power and profit, not for the limelight.

With teammates like this, what more can you ask for? The teammates hugged Zhang Xin tightly...

There is still a long way to go, and there is still some distance from the peak, but it does not prevent the boys from having fun!
See you at the Headquarters!
