Chapter 218 Triple Double at Halftime!

Iguodala quickly controlled the rebound, and the Bulls retreated quickly. Seeing that there was no chance, Iguodala dribbled the ball to Livingston for half court, and then gave Zhang Xin to handle the ball after half court.

Zhang Xin is not in a hurry. Now that the Warriors have controlled the tempo, it's fine to play according to their own tempo.

Barnes didn't wait for Zhang Xin's call, and directly went up to do a high pick-and-roll for Zhang Xin. Mirotic was very determined. He knew that the Warriors were going to use him as a breakthrough. Since they can't defend alone, why not Go up and make big delays and let Jimmy Butler chase.

Who would have thought that the two miscommunicated, Jimmy Butler was directly taken away by Barnes, Mirotic went too high, Zhang Xin shouldered Mirotic, and the acceleration of his feet completely broke through, like a bolt of lightning At the basket, Gasol didn't expect a big mistake on the outside line, and he couldn't make up the defense, so Zhang Xin directly dunked his hand!
The Bulls' defense is wide open!

In the next few rounds, the Bulls' offense was restricted by the Warriors, and the offense was quite constipated, but the Warriors' offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, playing extremely smoothly, and the score was pulled to 15 points. Thibodeau quickly called a timeout.

The fans in the United Center were all beaten into silence, and they looked quite frustrated.

When Zhang Xin passed by Cole, Cole smiled and patted Zhang Xin's chest with a very approving expression!

Having Zhang Xin is really easy. If there is any problem on the court, there is no need for the coaching staff to adjust. Zhang Xin will arrange and handle everything on the court by himself. His insight and ability to read the game are clearer than spectators off the court. The coach is even more keen, which shows how calm Zhang Xin is when he is playing on the court, it is really terrifyingly calm!
On the other hand, only the superstars have the energy to judge the development of the situation. The poor ones are exhausted on the field and have no time to think about other things. This is the difference between superstars and ordinary role players.

There are no really stupid players who can play in the NBA, but when you are not strong enough, you are stretched to deal with personal offense and defense, so there is no time to think about other things.

Thibodeau actually doesn't have a good tactical arrangement. This is a gap in personnel, so just adjust the personnel. Thibodeau replaced Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, and replaced Mirotic and Hinrich.

Joakim Noah seems to be just a role player, but his extraordinary defensive and rebounding ability, as well as good passing and tactical support ability, make him play a pivotal role in the Bulls.

It can be said that with Joakinoah on the court, the Bulls' defense can at least go up a notch!
The Bulls with Rose and Noah and the Bulls without Rose and Noah are completely different concepts. Rose's impact is not comparable to Hinrich, and Noah's defense is not comparable to Mirotic. Both offensive and defensive ends have gone up a notch.

Zhang Xin clearly felt that the Bulls' defensive strength had become stronger, and they had become very active on the offensive end!
With Rose's impact and Noah's continuous upheaval in the paint, the Warriors are really hard to defend. David Lee is not tall enough. If he wants to deal with Pau Gasol, he has to ask his teammates to help double-team him, let alone Joakim Noah. The back and forth impact on the inside.

The Bulls narrowed the point difference to 10 points through a combination of inside and outside. This time Cole took the initiative to call a timeout, and the personnel needed to be adjusted. This cannot be solved by on-court adjustments.

Cole replaced David Lee and Iguodala with Green and Bogut.

Bogut is 213cm, defending Pau Gasol is not a disadvantage, and Bogut's body is stronger than Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol can't beat Gasol hard.

The duel between Green and Noah is quite interesting. In fact, the two are very similar. They both started with defense and lacked a sense of offensive presence. However, today Green is very active on the offensive end when facing Noah. Noah dunks on the head.

Of course, this was an opportunity created by Zhang Xin for Green, but Green's desire to attack was particularly strong today. With dunks and free throws, he scored 12 points at the end of the second quarter!Green scored 12 points in a single quarter, which is quite rare!

With Bogut and Green on the court, the Warriors once again had the upper hand. At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 78:59, and the Warriors led by 19 points.

格林半场拿下18分5助攻9篮板，张信半场拿下34分10助攻10篮板，今天的张信爆发了，简直在进攻和防守端都统治了比赛。

Wang Meng was speechless when he saw the halftime statistics.

"Oh my god! Is this a stat that can be won at halftime! From the statistics of 85, there is only one person in the history of the NBA who has achieved a halftime triple-double record, and that is Jason Kidd.

As one of the most comprehensive guard players in the history of the league, Kidd has won a total of 107 triple-doubles in his career, but he has only won a half-time triple-double in his career.

09-10赛季，达拉斯独行侠在对阵老鹰的比赛中，基德全场砍下19分+17助攻+16篮板的数据，他在上半场只砍下5分+6助攻+2篮板的数据。

但是在下半场，基德爆发砍下14分+10篮板+10助攻的数据。在加时赛里他一分未得，但是却送出了4个篮板和1个助攻的数据。也成为了NBA历史第一位下半场砍下三双的球员。

The terrible Zhang Xin became the second player in NBA history to win a halftime triple-double, and it was a big triple-double! "

Wang Meng was speechless.

"It's a blast! But it's understandable to replay:

Zhang Xin's scoring mainly came from the first quarter. Stimulated by Rose and Jimmy Butler, he scored 26 points in the first quarter;
In the second quarter, his desire to score was greatly reduced, and he concentrated on making the ball for his teammates, so he scored 10 assists;
Today the Bulls played Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah during the rotation time. The Warriors' inside line is in crisis. It was about to collapse, so he scored 10 rebounds in the first and second quarters.

Zhang Xin is a player who is strong when he encounters the strong. He doesn’t use much force when playing against a weak team. When he meets a strong team like the Bulls, Zhang Xin explodes and appears in a posture that makes us dumbfounded, saving the ball. The team is in danger! "Yang Yi shook his head with disbelief on his face.

"How strong must a player be before he can play as he pleases, score when he wants to score, get assists when he wants to get assists, get rebounds when he wants to get rebounds, such a player is really respectable and terrifying!" Wang Meng said.

The Tencent studio fell into a moment of silence, and both Yang Yi and Wang Meng needed a little time to calm down.
