Chapter 268 Control
The timeout ends and the Mavericks have the ball.

Devin Harris dribbled the ball for halftime, Nowitzki caught Green at the right elbow to catch the ball, Devin Harris rushed over to make a pick-and-roll for Nowitzki, Nowitzki left the ball, Novitzki Ski confronted Curry directly.

Curry was not afraid of getting hurt, so he just stuck it up. This is something that requires courage. The elbows waving by the big guys may directly hit your face and blow your face open.

Nowitzki was afraid of Curry's ball, so he didn't do anything else, and just turned over and made a jumper. The height difference was too far, and Curry could only watch Nowitzki throw the ball and hit it!

The Mavericks can score the ball, which is reasonable. After all, they have a historical-level shooter Nowitzki. Even if this historical-level shooter is getting older, the reason most players retire is because of their defensive ability. Sliding, the footsteps can't keep up with the opponent's offensive pace, not because of an offensive regress.

The key now is whether the Mavericks can defend the Warriors' offense!
Green made a quick serve, and Curry crossed halftime under the leadership of Devin Harris.

Chandler Parsons followed Zhang Xin closely, pulling hard constantly to prevent Zhang Xin from receiving the ball easily. Zhang Xin gestured to Curry, and Curry nodded.

Zhang Xin was tightly entangled by Parsons. He couldn't catch the ball, so he didn't catch the ball at all. He ran directly to the top of the arc and set a high pick-and-roll for Curry.

Curry's starting speed was too fast, and he suddenly rushed in from the side around Zhang Xin. Parsons couldn't catch up, Tyson Chandler hurried to make up the defense, Curry turned his head to look at the moon, and gave the ball to Shun Zhang Xin!
Zhang Xin took a big stride to the bottom of the basket and took off directly. No one in front of him could stop Zhang Xin from taking off!

Zhang Xin dunks vigorously!The basket made a loud bang!
The Oracle Center gave out cheers like a tsunami. Zhang Xin's performance at the critical moment was really inspiring!

The door is wide open for the Dallas Mavericks!

In the next round, Nowitzki used the same tactic, still using the pick-and-roll to hit Curry's dislocation, but this time he didn't make a shot.

The Warriors came back the same way:
Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc and called Green for a pick-and-roll. After Green blocked and went down, Zhang Xin gave the ball to Green. Scored a three-pointer!
Coach Carlisle's face was ashen, and he looked at the timer. The time was less than 1 minute, and the Dallas Mavericks were already behind by 12 points!
With a wave of his hand, Coach Carlisle replaced the starting lineup and announced the loss of the game.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides is: 111:123. The performance of the Mavericks today is not bad, but today's Warriors have too many routines, and there are too many players who can play. adjustment.

Zhang Xin scored a large triple-double of 32 points, 15 assists and 15 rebounds today!

"Zhang Xin scored 30+15+15 today, a large triple-double data, how difficult is this data? Let's look at a set of data:
1987年4月2日，大鸟在对阵子弹队的比赛中砍下30分17个篮板15次助攻，三项数据均为全场最高，凯尔特人因此大胜了对手。大鸟也成为NBA近30多年来唯一一个能得到30+15+15的球员。

Zhang Xin became the second player in the history of the NBA to score a large triple-double of 30+15+15!It's amazing! ” said Charles Barkley of TNT Tiantuan.

"Today's Coach Carl and the Dallas Mavericks, they've done everything they can, they've put in 12 points from defense to offense, but today's Warriors are too strong, and They have a player who can control everything at critical moments, Zhang Xin!
Let's recap and see what Zhang Xin did in the last 3 minutes:
Called Green's pick-and-roll with the ball at the top of the arc, and scored a three-pointer against Nowitzki;
Still at the top of the arc, call Green's pick-and-roll, break through Nowitzki to attract double-teams, and grab an open three-pointer for Thompson in the bottom corner;

Under the close defense of Dallas Mavericks player Chandler Parsons, there was no chance to catch the ball, so he went straight up to make a high pick-and-roll for Curry, then went down to receive Curry's pass, and dunked directly;
The last three-pointer that crushed the Mavericks was also picked and rolled by Zhang Xin and Green, which attracted a double-team and was given to Green, who then passed to Thompson for a hit.

At critical moments, Zhang Xin is everywhere!
Terrible Zhang Xin!Zhang Xin's ability to control the field is really too strong now,

When I see Coach Carlisle, I will tell him: Coach Carlisle, today is not your problem, but your enemy is too powerful! "

Kenny Smith said very sincerely.

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. As Zhang Xin's dominance becomes stronger and stronger, there are more and more claims about No.1 in league strength. Compared with LeBron James, Zhang Xin may just be There are some shortcomings in terms of qualifications, in my opinion, Zhang Xin is now No.1 in the league!" O'Neill said seemingly not seriously.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other and smiled without speaking.

The tnt celestial group all have big mouths, but some words involve too much, and they dare not say anything casually.

After playing the Dallas Mavericks, the All-Star Game is getting closer and closer. The Warriors still have four games between the All-Star Game, namely the Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Because Zhang Xin will participate in the All-Star game this year, and it is a very busy one. He may participate in the slam dunk contest, three-point contest, and the All-Star game, as well as various community activities before the game. It can be foreseen Unfortunately, Zhang Xin will be very busy during the All-Star game.

So Steve Kerr approached Zhang Xin privately, and wanted Zhang Xin to rest two of the four games, so as not to increase the chance of injury due to the dense schedule and the lack of rest time for the All-Stars.

This is not impossible. Many stars are not in good condition after participating in the All-Star Game for a period of time. Many injuries occurred after the All-Star Game, mostly because they did not have a good rest.

In the remaining four games, apart from the Atlanta Hawks being a strong opponent, others such as the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Minnesota Timberwolves do not need Zhang Xin's shot at all, and other teammates can completely solve them.

Of course, Zhang Xin has no objection. It is of course best to rest more. In half a season, he only took two rounds of rest. With a long and intensive schedule, even a strong person like Zhang Xin feels a little tired at this time. .

If you want to perform better in the All-Star Game, rest before the game is essential. Cole is very understanding, and brought it up before Zhang Xin. In fact, even if Cole didn't bring it up, Zhang Xin will also take the initiative to ask Cole for leave.
