Chapter 206 The Coaches' Nightmare!

The Hornets had the ball, Kemba Walker held the ball at the top of the arc, and called center Zeller's high pick-and-roll. Bogut directly let Kemba Walker make a two-step defensive breakthrough.

Curry went up to meet the dribble and crossed the half court. Zhang Xin went up to catch the ball. Curry turned around and got into the crowd and began to pull the Hornets' defense. Zhang Xin signaled Green to step forward for a high pick-and-roll.

Zhang Xin moved one step sideways, Green moved down, and took away Stephenson. Zhang Xin faced Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson was 208cm tall and weighed 131kg. It is powerless to break through Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin quickly dribbled the ball under the crotch, suddenly exploded, and broke through to the right. Al Jefferson quickly turned his hips to keep up. Zhang Xin pulled back, and Al Jefferson was thrown two steps away. Zhang Xin took advantage of the trend and took a big step to the outside of the three-point line. After a while, he adjusted his bow and shot at the three-point line!

Three point hit!

"Hey! Zhang Xin exploded. At the beginning of the game, because of Stephenson's entanglement, Zhang Xin didn't hold the ball very much, but concentrated on creating opportunities for his teammates, but the effect was not very good. He was hit by the Hornets who were waiting hard. The small climax of 12:4 forced Coach Kerr to call a timeout. After the timeout came back, Zhang Xin took the initiative to attack with the ball and played a wave of 8:0 small climax in three rounds. Coach Clifford should call a timeout .” Wang Meng said.

Sure enough, this suddenly forced Steve Clifford to call a timeout quickly. The Warriors are going to get up. If they don't call a timeout quickly, the Warriors will play a wave!
"Zhang Xin is the Warriors' nuclear weapon. When conventional weapons don't work, it's when Cole sacrifices Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin doesn't often hold the ball in the starting lineup, but runs off the ball like Thompson. Master, only when the rotation is a lot of balls.

Today's Hornets have increased their intensity, forcing Zhang Xin to hold the ball in advance. Zhang Xin's lethality is amazing when holding the ball. Coach De called a timeout, and now it depends on how Coach Clifford adjusts, but it is very difficult. Zhang Xin's possession of the ball is a nightmare for all NBA coaches. "Yang Yi said.

Cole happily gave Zhang Xin and the others a high-five. Zhang Xin sat down and wiped his sweat with a towel. He had put in a lot of physical strength for this burst of breakthrough and defense, so he quickly took advantage of the timeout to take a rest.

The current score is 12:12, and the two sides are temporarily tied.

Cole did not adjust his manpower. Today's game is very critical. Cole did not follow the regular rotation to replace players, but just told the generals to strengthen their defense.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

In fact, Coach Clifford did not make any adjustments. An opponent like Zhang Xin is difficult to limit. He can score and support. If you defend him to score, he will organize. If you want to sever the connection between him and his teammates, Then he may blow you up with one hit.

So Coach Clifford only emphasized the offensive tactics. It is already difficult to make adjustments to the defense. The Hornets' defensive strength is already very high. Thank goodness for being able to maintain this strength in the next time, let alone increase the strength. .

After coming back, the Hornets’ offense finally returned to normal. The main reason was that the Hornets arranged inside singles tactics for Al Jefferson. Green faced the 131kg Al Jefferson. His physique was too disadvantaged, and he was forced to eat two consecutively. When double-teaming, Jefferson played the ball quickly, and the Hornets also got a chance at the three-point line.

Although the Warriors can't defend against the Hornets, the Hornets can't defend the Warriors either. Zhang Xin who opened up is too threatening. Zhang Xin constantly uses his powerful threat to attract the Hornets to double-team, and then distributes the ball to his teammates. The Warriors keep passing the ball. To mobilize the Hornets' defense, as long as one more pass, you can get an easy shot.

It rained three points for the Warriors!
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 32:30, and the Warriors led by two points.

Zhang Xin scored 12 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Cole asked Zhang Xin to go up to lead the team for another half quarter. Zhang Xin naturally had no objection, together with Andre Iguodala, Drummond Green, Harrison Barnes and David Lee.

Today's rotation lineup is different from usual. Normally, Livingston and Barbosa will be on the court at this time, but the Hornets have low-post killers like Zeller and Al Jefferson, so they must ensure the hardness of the presence. Green is the top player Although Ferson's is difficult to carry, it is better than other people's defense.

Of course Zhang Xin can also defend, but Zhang Xin has to sort out the offense. If he spends a lot of energy on defense, his offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.

The Hornets got PJ Hairston, Al Jefferson, Cody Zeller, Lance Stephenson, and Brian Roberts.

This adjustment of the Hornets turned out to be miraculous. Brian Roberts, a rotation player who averaged less than 9.4 points per game last season, even scored against David Lee after a high pick-and-roll with Cody Zeller today. He went to the basket and made a layup, and turned into an All-Star player.

Cole quickly replaced David Lee with Bogut. Although Bogut is not very good at defending against pick-and-rolls, at least Bogut's position selection is much better. After the adjustment, he can be regarded as containing Brian Roberts.

And Zhang Xin's offense has always been very smooth, just looking for misplacements, neither Al Jefferson nor Cody Zeller can keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps, which forced the Hornets to double-team, which gave the Warriors Other people's opportunities, under Zhang Xin's sorting out, the Warriors' offense is as pervasive as mercury pouring into the ground, and the Warriors are fully blooming.

When Zhang Xin was off the field, the Warriors had pulled the score to 8 points!
Zhang Xin scored 22 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds at halftime.

"Zhang Xin has become a nightmare for the coaches of the entire league. Under this defensive intensity, Zhang Xin still scores as easily as picking something out of a pocket. He uses his strong scoring ability to force the opponent to change the defense. When the opponent double-teams and wants to limit him, he keeps giving Teammates pass threatening passes, and these abilities are becoming more and more perfect, making it more and more difficult to defend!" Wang Meng sighed.

"Zhang Xin has too many choices. Although his methods seem simple and direct, each skill has reached the ultimate level. Post-up singles look like Jordan. Zhang Xin's height is 203cm, weight is about 105cm, other skills such as jumping, speed He is not inferior to the peak Michael Jordan, so Zhang Xin's back-up singles are even more powerful!

His three-point shooting combined with his off-ball running position, the deterrence on the outside makes opponents dare not relax at all, and creates a huge space for teammates to run galloping horses!
And his breakthrough can be regarded as the fastest first step in the league. With the combination of sudden shots, no opponent can block Zhang Xin's scoring. In this case, it is still difficult to defend Zhang Xin's scoring, let alone It is simply impossible to prevent Zhang Xin from contacting his teammates! "Yang Yi felt sad for Zhang Xin's opponent.
