new lord of the rings

Chapter 15 Death Five!

Wachovia Center.

Home of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The game between the Warriors and the 76ers, because the 76ers are so bad today, no one will think this is a game worthy of attention.

The Warriors’ games are still pretty good. Since the Nelson era, the Warriors have a tradition of attacking the team. Regardless of whether the season record is good or bad, Rumble runs and fights, no matter whether he wins or loses, but the game is really popular. After all, the audience is large. Love a good offense.

There are quite a few spectators in the hall. There are die-hard fans at home, fans who want to watch Warriors games at a low price, local Curry fans, and... female fans who are addicted to beauty... Zhang Xin, this group is in the hall The largest number of people in.

Zhang Xin: "..."

The game has not yet started, and the female fans have already started to organize to warm up the field.

"Believe me... Xin is my way;

Believe me... Xin is my faith...!
Xin! Xin! The song for u I sing!"

(To the effect: Believe me, Ashin is my direction, Ashin is my faith. Ashin, Ashin, this song is dedicated to you!)
The fans sang the song of letter specially composed for Zhang Xin.

Taylor Swift, who was sitting in the front row, curiously asked her companion.

"What are they singing?"

"Haha, this is the song of Ashin created by Zhang Xin's fans specially for him. It's very interesting. Zhang Xin is probably the player with the most female fans in the league, and probably also the player with the most female fans in history. If there is a special record, It should also be the player who has gained fans the fastest. He has only played three games so far. There are already fans who have organized Zhang Xin's support club for him, composed songs for him, and have a dedicated website. , Said to record the legendary career of Zhang Xinxin's beauty conquering the NBA."

"……"Taylor Swift.

"Why does he have so much influence?"

"Because he's handsome, isn't handsome enough?" The female companion said it was natural.

"..." Taylor Swift was speechless.

Game start.

Warriors starting five tigers: PG Stephen Curry SG Zhang Xin SF Andre Iguodala PF Chasing Dream Green C Andrew Bogut
76ers starters: PG Michael Carter-Williams SG Elliott Williams SF Thaddeus Young PF Arnett Motri C Nerlens Noel

Although the 76ers are a bad team, today's game is not without something to watch.

On February 2, Michael Carter-Williams was elected the Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference in January, becoming the second player in the history of the 6ers to win the Rookie of the Month at least twice after Allen Iverson.

在1月份的17场比赛中，迈卡威场均得到16.5分5.6篮板5.6助攻，在1月8日对阵骑士队的比赛中，迈卡威得到了生涯新高的33分。

Zhang Xin of the Warriors entered the league halfway through the season. He averaged 18.3 minutes per game in three games. The average data per game was: 21.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds.

Looking at the data from McAway, it seems that there is not much difference, but this is only an average of 18.3 minutes per game, and the average number of shots per game is less than 12 shots, which is very scary!

If converted to 36 minutes of playing time and 24 shots, his average data per game should reach 43.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds!

What a terrifying average per game. NBA scoring champion Michael Jordan averaged 30.15 points per game.

The average playing time for McAway to get these data is 36 minutes and 24 shots per game. What does this mean? Zhang Xin's efficiency is absolutely amazing!

But this is not fair to McAway, because Zhang Xin's efficiency in the three games surpassed all the players in the league, with 12 shots, 21.7 points, and a true shooting percentage of 90%!What kind of efficiency is this, the league has never had such a player.

According to statistics in 2018, the player with the highest true shooting percentage is the Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, whose true shooting percentage is 67.7%!What is his attack style?
It's lobs and putbacks, and the rest, oh no, but he's only shooting 67.7 percent from the field.

Zhang Xin's offensive methods are three-pointers, mid-range shots and layups. His true shooting percentage is as high as 90%!

But this is also the reason why Zhang Xin played too few games. When the number of games played increases, the true shooting percentage will definitely drop. No one can maintain such a high efficiency, not even God.

The highlight of this game is the collision between McAway, who has reserved the best rookie of the season, and this super genius who turned out to see what kind of sparks the two can create.

Jump ball in the middle circle.

The Warriors win the jump ball, and Curry dribbles upfield and over the halfway line to command the run.

The Warriors' general opening tactic is to open up the shooter's touch first. Zhang Xin started to run under the off-ball cover of Iguodala and Green.

Elliott Williams is the position of Zhang Xin, and Jason Richardson was generally the position of the position last season.

Richardson was absent this season due to illness, and basically he will be reimbursed this season. The 76ers are really short of major generals, and only players with a basic salary like Elliott Williams get the chance to play.

Eliot Williams is 196 tall and weighs only 88 kilograms. He is at a disadvantage in height and weight against Zhang Xin, but he can barely keep up with him in terms of speed. Of course, it is a one-on-one situation.

Eliot Williams tried his best to follow Zhang Xin, who was swimming like a fish, in the crowd.

"Boom!" There was a love collision with Iguodala, and Iguodala's devilish muscles hit Elliott Williams a little dizzy, and he tried his best to go around and catch up with Zhang Xin.

"Boom!" He bumped into another black man, who looked like Chasing Dream Green, who opened his mouth wide and smiled at him.

Eliot Williams bypassed Green and looked up to see that the orange basketball had drawn a wonderful arc in mid-air and fell straight into the net.

"Swipe!" The friction between the basketball and the net made a pleasant sound.

Zhang Xin opened the scoring first and hit a three-pointer.

"fuvk!" With so many covers, there is no way to catch up!
Elliott Williams lost Zhang Xin and looked at coach Brett Brown with some anxiety.

Brett Brown is tough as a nail.Comments from San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

Brett Brown looked serious and nodded to Elliott Williams for a good job.

Elliott Williams was relieved.

Brett Brown complained in his heart: "What else can I do, scold you? I am here to take the blame this season."

Brett Brown was tough as nails.

The 76ers don't care, they have become a habit of losing, and their defense has long been useless. The task of this season is to play badly and train new players.

McAway caught the ball and ran across the half court. Without waiting for others to get in position, he directly faced Curry and rushed in. The current 76ers basically have no routines in playing, and they can't organize their discipline.

A few young guys just do it with the ball, and some teams with big men as the core really hate this kind of brainless team, such as... Poor Bulls.

The Bulls were also rushing when Rose was there. Once Rose was injured, the focus shifted to the inside. In the last game between the 76ers and the Bulls, the 76ers scored more than 110 points!

God is so pitiful, there are not many games where the Bulls have lost more than 100 points in a season, and they let a weak team like the 76ers score so many points.

Curry was careless, and was really caught off guard by McAway, who made a layup.

The two sides come and go, the attack and defense speed is extremely fast, the warriors simply don't defend anymore, if you want to fight, then fight.

In today's league, the Warriors are probably the ones who are least afraid of fast breaks. You and I play against each other, okay.

Then, Curry and Zhang Xin hit it off.

Switching to a fast break, Curry stepped down quickly, and turned around to pass a chasing three-pointer to Zhang Xin;
Curry quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, McAway stepped on the three-point line to defend, and Curry made a super long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line;
After halftime, Green's logo position delayed Elliott Williams for Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin received the ball in two steps at the top of the arc, and there was no one around three meters away. point.

Iguodala dribbles into the free throw line and turns back to Curry. Curry makes a posturing shot to attract Elliott Williams, and then quickly hits the ball to Zhang Xin who is running down, and Zhang Xin makes a dunk with a tomahawk;

……

It's just that Bogut suffered, and Bogut, who followed back and forth, was out of breath, and had to run back before half of the run. Mark Jackson took advantage of the situation to replace Bogut and replace him with Barnes.

Death Five!

This is the first appearance of the Death Five. Dealing with a bad team like the 76ers is actually killing chickens with a sledgehammer, but everyone is unaware of it.

This is an epoch-making reform, but at this time everyone thought it was just to deal with the brainless fast break of the 76ers.

This is what happened after Barnes went up:
When the three of the 76ers entered the fast break, all five of the Warriors had already settled down first. The 76ers saw no chance, so they could only slow down and play positions. With unlimited changes of defense from the outside, the 76ers' backcourt could not even make a shot. No chance;

When they thought that the Warriors had no height, they organized the center forward to play in the low post. As soon as the center forward caught the ball, they were double-teamed.
When the Warriors started to attack, the five were flying like lightning, and when they settled down, the center of the 76ers was still in the half court;

Facing a defense with one less player, the Warriors can easily layup with two or three passes;
The center of the 76ers desperately kept up with the generals of the Warriors, and finally settled in time. Before they had time to catch their breath, the Warriors made a simple three-point line with three players fixed-pointed to open up space. The defenders, big and small, are like bulky buffaloes, panicking when they encounter a pack of hunting wolves.

The Warriors scored 48 points in a single quarter!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, all the players on the 76ers field felt exhausted and breathed a sigh of relief. God knows what they went through.

Everyone in the 76ers feels in a trance that they have experienced a storm in the depths of the ocean. Their current feeling is roughly: go to the fucking basketball dream!

Zhang Xin felt comfortable physically and mentally, he finally achieved the first goal, making the warrior's death five children born ahead of schedule!

Being in the fifth primary school, Zhang Xin understood what happy basketball is:

The ball flies like a shooting star;
People run like a BMW;

Raise the knife to the enemy general:
kill one person in ten steps;
The feeling that the whole team is completely connected and no part is disconnected is really great, it is very smooth, full of rhythm, and hearty!
Zhang Xin glanced at the technical statistics inadvertently, and was startled:
Zhang Xin played 12 minutes, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 two-pointers, scoring: 15 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and [-] blocks. This is just a single quarter!
In the five small lineup, Zhang Xin's ability is magnified. The offense has the open space created by his teammates, and everyone has a chance to assist. Everyone is moving to grab the rebound. The double-team inside allows Zhang Xin to get three steals. , Helped his teammates defend and harvested two blocks, a bumper harvest of data!

This is a bit of a benefit to the system.

It's a pity that this 76ers team is too weak. He may not have a chance to play. He will soon be an All-Star. Mark Jackson has big ambitions this year and has begun to consciously save his strength, especially afraid that Zhang Xin, a rookie, will not know his strength and get hurt. .

After all, for rookies, slowly adapting to the masterpiece of the NBA is the kingly way. Some rookies are injured because the intensity and frequency of college games are far inferior to the NBA. It may take a whole season to slowly adapt. Not to mention that this year's Warriors have to go further, maybe they can go to the top to see.
