Chapter 296 Field Control!

The second half begins.

The two sides started out:

The Grizzlies starting lineup is: Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, Tony Allen, Courtney Lee, Nick Calathes.

The Warriors lineup is: Zhang Xin, Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Bogut.

In fact, this lineup may be the Warriors' best defensive lineup in terms of comprehensive perimeter defense and frame protection. There are four striker gates on the outside and Green and Bogut on the inside. It requires speed, speed, and height!
It is not inferior in terms of offense, with Zhang Xin as the sharp knife, Thompson and Barnes' three-pointers to open up the space, Green to transfer the ball to transfer the core, and Bogut to support at a high position.

This lineup has both offense and defense. Historically, these four players and Curry were the starting lineup for the Warriors, but now it's just Chang Xin.

The Grizzlies had the ball, and Courtney dribbled the ball halfway under Thompson's defense. Courtney was originally Zhang Xin to defend, but Cole asked Zhang Xin to defend Tony Allen in order to save Zhang Xin's energy. This is a very correct adjustment. Tony Allen is more of a space point to stand in the bottom corner. With Tony Allen's three-point shooting rate, Zhang Xin can even help defend with confidence.

Courtney's ball handling effect in the first half was not good. Dave Joger made adjustments and replaced him with Calathes to handle the ball. Although Calathes is less athletic, he is a comprehensive point guard. , not only has strong offensive power, but also has a very good outside line. He is tall and has a first-class outside line!
Calathes' ball-holding effect is much better. Not only is he a threat, but he can also pass the ball to the black and white bears.

Courtney is still more suitable as a top role player. It is really difficult to let him use the core style of play. When he returned to the position of the familiar shooter, his threat came out, and he made consecutive three-pointers. , forcing Thompson not to let it go.

The Grizzlies have more space, and with the space, the threat of black and white bears can also come out. In this way, the Grizzlies have both inside and outside, and the combination of inside and outside is really not easy to defend against.

But the scary thing about the Warriors is that if you fight against him on defense, his defense is not weaker than yours. If you fight against him on offense, his offense will definitely be stronger than yours.

With Zhang Xin around, it is very difficult for the Warriors to stagnate in offense. Zhang Xin will constantly adjust. As long as he finds your weakness, he will continue to attack until you make adjustments.

Although the Grizzlies were a hit in the third quarter, the score kept Zhang Xin above 10 points. As soon as the Grizzlies approached, Zhang Xin would take action to reopen the score. Zhang Xin used the most labor-saving way to control Following the progress of the game:
When the score was drawn, he would thread the needle and create opportunities for his teammates to pass the ball. When the Grizzlies approached the score, he would take action to suppress it.

As for why not open up the score one after another, it is very difficult to open up such a large score all at once against a defensive team like the Grizzlies, and it is too exhausting. Physical strength, the Grizzlies are too resilient, leaving enough time for them, there are too many variables, Zhang Xin calculated carefully, and he had to wait until the time was almost the same before pulling the score apart so that the Grizzlies had no time to catch up with them before giving up .

第三节结束的时候，双方比分85:99，张信拿下了14分5助攻3篮板，加上上半场的28分11助攻7个篮板，张信已经拿下42分16助攻10篮板的大号三双，而比赛还有整整一节！
Cole and Ron Adams looked at each other: Zhang Xin said that he can score 60 points per game is really not a lie, as long as he is given enough time, he can really score 60 points per game, it is really scary terrible!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Cole replaced Zhang Xin, but he didn't dare to let Zhang Xin play the full four quarters. Playing the four quarters with such a high intensity would be fatal. If Zhang Xin was too tired and accidentally injured, the Warriors would lose another If he is the leader of the team, he will be reimbursed for this year's playoffs.

Cole went up to Sean Livingston, Leandro Barbos, Drummond Green, Andre Iguodala and Fistus Azeri for a few minutes, let's see the effect first, If you can't stand it, you can adjust it at any time.

The Grizzlies trailed by 14 points and did not dare to relax. Except for Calathes, who was replaced by Vince Carter, the rest of the starters were all on the court. The point difference was narrowed to 8 points.

Cole frowned, but didn't adjust right away. It's only been 2 minutes, and the sweat on Zhang Xin's foreheads hasn't stopped yet.

After another 2 minutes, Cole couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout. When five players without three-pointers were on the court, space was a disaster, and the Grizzlies shrank their defense recklessly.

Iguodala didn't shoot when he was empty. He broke through and passed the ball to Barbosa. Barbosa didn't shoot when he was empty. He still broke through and passed it to Green. , duang!It's hard.

The Grizzlies relied on the inside threat of the black and white bears to attract double-teams from the flanks, and then passed out to Courtney Lee on the outside. Courtney Lee hit two three-pointers without hesitation, and the score was reduced to only 4 points.

"Oh, Cole's move can be regarded as a bad move. In 4 minutes, the Grizzlies evened out the 10-point advantage. When Zhang Xin was off the court, the 14-point advantage was only 4 points left, but It’s not too late to adjust now, with the 4-minute rest, the starter’s physical strength should be fully recovered, compared to the Grizzlies’ starter, the Warriors’ starter is now considered to be full of energy.” Wang Meng said with a smile.

Zhang Xin smiled and high-fived his teammates who were leaving the field, and thanked loudly: "Thank you for holding on for so long, we will leave the rest to us!"

Hearing Zhang Xin's words, the teammates who were a little guilty at first became a little more frustrated. Zhang Xin's advantage was defeated by them, and they felt uncomfortable, but with Zhang Xin's comfort, they I felt a little better.

Cole nodded: As expected of a natural leader, so these people have to give up on him?

Zhang Xin looked up at the time, there were still 8 minutes left!

Zhang Xin turned to look at the Grizzly soldiers present:
Marc Gasol leaned on his knees, panting loudly, sweating profusely, his jersey was soaked and stuck to his body;
Zach Randolph's sweat drenched the scarf, almost dripping water, and his lips were already slightly pale;

Although Vince Carter didn't have much time to go to work, he was old after all, with his hips crossed, he looked very tired;
Courtney Lee looks pretty good, he mainly runs and shoots three-pointers, and there is not much physical confrontation, which is pretty easy;
Tony Allen's mental state is not bad, he can't use his offensive strength, and most of them are standing in the bottom corner and waiting for opportunities.

Zhang Xin smiled, let us do it next.
