Chapter 217 Able to attack and defend well (Fourth more dedicated!)
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 36:32, and the Warriors led away by 4 points.

In the second quarter, Zhang Xin played with a rotation lineup, Iguodala, Barnes, Livingston and David Lee.

The Bulls are Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich, Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic.

Warriors possession.

Livingston steadily dribbled the ball across the frontcourt and passed it to Zhang Xin. The fans gasped. They hadn't recovered from the first quarter.

The Bulls' lineup is not weak:

Ty Gibson is an athletic forward with outstanding wingspan. He is good at running and finishing offenses. He has excellent defense and can take into account both single defense and assist defense. He blocks shots very well.

Kirk Hinrich is a player in the 03 class. In 2006, Kirk Hinrich was selected for the US national team. He has an excellent ability to defend against offense with the ball and is a leader-type player.

Nikola Mirotic is a skilled combo forward who can handle, shoot and pass, has a great feel for the game, and plays intelligently and aggressively.

This lineup is definitely good on offense, but there are still loopholes to exploit on defense.

Zhang Xin chose Mirotic. Zhang Xin called Iguodala, who was defended by Mirotic, to come up to do a high pick-and-roll. Le was blocked by Iguodala for the next step, and Zhang Xin broke through Mirotic sideways.

Mirotic’s footsteps are still slower than Zhang Xin’s. Taj Gibson quickly let go of Barnes’ double-team. Zhang Xin originally focused on attracting double-teams, and passed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner. Barnes made a hit. Three points!

The offensive skills of modern basketball are getting better and better. For the offensive masters, the defense is absolutely passive. It is difficult for a single defense to limit the attacks of the offensive masters. Therefore, most defensive lineups exist for flanking, and offense is also for Develop tactics to attract double teams.

The Warriors have the most complete plan for attracting double teams and dealing with double teams. Once Zhang Xinxin breaks through and changes the opponent's defense, Zhang Xin's pass will appear in the hands of the person who was released, and the position of the person who was released , it must be a set position, it must be a position where he is threatening.

The corner three-point position is Barnes' best three-point shooting point. It is an enhanced technique, so once Barnes gets a chance, it is a chance to send points.

Thibodeau is worried, Zhang Xin is scary when he scores, and it is also uncomfortable when he doesn't score.

Fortunately, this lineup of the Bulls has good offensive ability. Hinrich gave the ball to Gasol on the inside. Gasol is 213cm tall, and David Lee is only 206cm tall, which is 7cm shorter than Gasol. Gasol The skill at the basket is very good, he turned around and hooked it after rubbing it twice, and David Lee had nothing to do.

Zhang Xin frowned. This is difficult to handle. Gasol is not a center with rough skills. Double-teaming him has to pay a price. Gasol's support has been proved by countless double-teams. Can you Double-teaming, of course it is possible to double-team if you take some risks.

But the personnel who choose to double-team must be particular. First, the person who is emptied must be limited by supplementary defense. Second, the supplementary defense must be someone with extraordinary athletic ability who can temporarily defend 1 defense and 2 defenses.

In the Warriors lineup, there are Iguodala, Zhang Xin and Livingston who can do this. The more people who can do it, the more choices they have.

Zhang Xin gestured for double-teaming when Livingston dribbled the ball across half court. The Warriors basically have a gesture in their conventional tactics, which is convenient for players to communicate, and the opponent will not know their tactical thinking.

Of course, calling a timeout can also make tactical adjustments, but tactical adjustments are often difficult to keep up with the situation on the court, so adjustments on the court are the best choice. The number of timeouts is limited and must be reserved for critical moments.

Zhang Xin didn't catch the ball at the top of the arc, it was just to attract double-teams, he can also do it in the low post.

Livingston helped Zhang Xin cover and take away Jimmy Butler in the elbow area, and Kirk Hinrich could only face Zhang Xin's offense alone.

Iguodala passed the ball to Hinrich, Zhang Xin sat back fiercely, Hinrich backed up again and again, Zhang Xin did not directly attack, his sitting back action was to tell other members of the Bulls: Hinrich can't guard against me, so hurry over to double-team!

Sure enough, Mirotic couldn't bear it and came over to double-team. Iguodala is such a person who is good at seizing opportunities. As soon as he saw Mirotic going to double-team, he immediately cut in. Zhang Xin hit the ground and passed The ball, Iguodala's superman quality is reflected, catch the ball, start, take off!

Pau Gasol wanted to come over to defend, but when he saw Iguodala's take-off height, he quickly avoided it, and he couldn't afford it!

Iguodala dunks!

The Warriors' offense is like flowing clouds and flowing water. The style of play is clear and simple. It is to use Zhang Xin's ability to attract double-teams to create opportunities for other opponents.

Simple, but the bulls just can't handle it.

One is because Zhang Xin's pass timing is extremely precise; the other is that the other players of the Warriors are small experts in seizing opportunities. Once they are free, they can seize opportunities!

This is the horror of the overall team. It seems that Zhang Xin is fighting alone, but in essence he is still playing as a whole!

The Bulls still use Gasol as the core of the offense. Hinrich gave the ball to Gasol. Gasol observed the Warriors' defense, but no one came up to double-team, so he tentatively dropped the ball. Go straight to Gasol.

Gasol is 213cm tall and has a wide field of vision. It is too easy to pass the ball. Gasol collects the ball and gives it to the empty Mirotic. Mirotic’s three-pointers are only 31% this season. It was quite low, so Mirotic didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer, and broke through directly.

Zhang Xin shrunk in, blocking Mirotic's breakthrough route. Seeing Zhang Xin coming to block, Mirotic expected that he would not be able to break through, so he passed the ball to Jimmy Butler who was emptied by Zhang Xin.

Jimmy Butler's three-point shooting percentage last season was only 28.3%. Although he has improved a lot this season, his first reaction is to believe in breakthroughs, and he will break through from one side of his body to the inside.

Jimmy Butler was very fast, and Zhang Xin thought he couldn't keep up in a hurry, so he shouted decisively: "Make up defense!"

Iguodala quickly turned around to block Jimmy Butler's breakthrough route. Jimmy Butler paused and fine-tuned the direction and continued to rush in. A quick breakthrough is difficult to defend, and Iguodala can't keep up either.

But it was this short pause that allowed Zhang Xin to find an opportunity.

Jimmy Butler broke through Iguodala, there were no defenders under the basket on this side, and Jimmy Butler went straight to the layup.

Zhang Xin took off across Iguodala, and directly pressed the basketball that Jimmy Butler was about to wipe on the backboard!
"Wow!!" The audience hugged their heads and let out an incredible cry!
This cover is extremely difficult, hurry up!allow!high!The three elements are indispensable, but Zhang Xin just did it!
