new lord of the rings

Chapter 300: Frontline gate group!
As soon as 6 minutes into the second quarter, Cole played Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Zhang Xin, and David Lee, Simmons, Livingston and Leandro Barbo Adams, plus Iguodala who is still on the field, Cole sent all five striker gates on the field!

Coach Dave Jogel frowned. He originally imagined that Cole would play such a lineup, but he didn't expect that Curry's injury would actually come true!Although I don't know the actual effect, but five striker gates of about two meters are on the field, which is scary to look at!
Coach Jogel also came out in full force. Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph, Tony Allen, Courtney Lee, and McConley all played five starters. The Warriors can play a small lineup, but the Grizzlies will definitely maintain Their own advantages, the black and white bears are their real trump card!

Grizzlies ball.

Mike Conley dribbled the ball for half court, the ball was guided a few times on the outside, and it still reached the hands of Marc Gasol on the inside. Gasol caught Green and hit back, and Iguodala rushed to double-team without hesitation. Gasol wanted to pass, but the route was blocked by Zhang Xin. Gasol failed to make the pass at the first time and was surrounded by Iguodala and Green. Gasol's ball directly launched a conversion attack.

Zhang Xin has already hit the front court like an arrow from the string. Iguodala's ball came very fast. Zhang Xin caught the ball and went straight to the inside. Tony Allen cut Zhang Xin's ball. The referee's whistle sounded, and Zhang Xin took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball king at the basket, bounced twice and fell into the basket.

Tony Allen waved his hand angrily. Facing Zhang Xin, he was always being played around. This is a rare thing. Even in the face of Harden, Tony Allen was not so passive.However, this may be caused by Zhang Xin's inherent impression that he doesn't make fouls very much. The defenders of Harden know that Harden is extremely good at fouling, so they will pay special attention. If it is too deep, it is easier to get caught.

Zhang Xin rubbed his arm. Although he took the initiative to meet him, Tony Allen did not take it lightly. Zhang Xin's arm was burning hot, and Zhang Xin made an extra penalty.

Oracle Center fans applauded Zhang Xin one after another.

The next game completely fell into hand-to-hand combat. The Grizzlies used their height to attack the basket, and then Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol grabbed the second rebound. Krandorff and Marc Gasol hit the Warriors' basket with height and weight, and the battle was extremely tragic!

It was very difficult for the Warriors to initiate a transition. Even the backcourt rebounds had to be desperately protected to get them down, let alone initiate transitions. The suffocating defense of the Grizzlies really showed his power in these 6 minutes.

After the Warriors are out of position, it is really not a wise choice to grind the position with the Grizzlies, but the Warriors have no more options. The Grizzlies use their superhuman defense to force the Warriors into their rhythm.

Cole was sweating a little on his forehead. Although he looked like he was still smiling with his lips pursed, his back was already sweating slightly. The Grizzlies' defense was extremely tenacious. Fortunately, Zhang Xin was there!

Cole was quite happy.

If Zhang Xin was injured and Curry presided over the situation, the scene would probably be even worse. Curry’s style of play is not as good as a team like the Grizzlies. Curry is more likely to pass and shoot. To complete the offense, when the Grizzlies increase their strength, it is difficult for the Warriors to score in this way.

And Zhang Xin adopts the Grizzly style of play, just give the ball to the low post, although Zhang Xin's height and weight seem to be not enough to play low post, but Zhang Xin's one-handed back singles are better than Marc Gasol and this striker. Krandorf's post-up singles are much more efficient!

Zhang Xin's post-up singles are not aimed at scoring by himself. The purpose is to attract flanking attacks and create opportunities for teammates. Thompson and Barnes are undoubtedly the beneficiaries of this style of play. Barnes has hit 3 three-pointers today, and Thompson hits 4. Three points are counted.

The Warriors used the Grizzlies style of play to lead the Grizzlies in score. Both sides played extremely slowly, but the fans at the Oracle Center watched with gusto. Although the rhythm was slow, the game was extremely exciting:

The Grizzlies' rebounding, hand-to-hand combat at the basket, and Zhang Xin's beautiful post-up singles, both sides played in the same style, attracting double-teams from the inside and waiting for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside. The defense of both sides was suffocating!

This style of play continued in the third and fourth quarters. There is no way. Both sides have strong defenses. The Grizzlies don’t want to raise the rhythm and press hard. Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, this style of play is quite suitable for the Warriors. , and not in a hurry to speed up, in fact, it is very difficult to speed up.

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two sides was only 6 points, and the Grizzlies' toughness was also suffocating. Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Warriors pulled the score to more than 10 points many times. The bear still fought back point by point.

In the last 2 minutes, the starters of both sides had reached the point of exhaustion. Both sides were sweating profusely and panting. Not to mention the players on the field, even the coaches below and the audience on the field could not help but sweat. The competition is too intense!

If the Warriors want to guarantee today's victory, a six-point difference is not safe. The Warriors must score at least two more goals to be safe.

Grizzlies ball.

Conley dribbled the ball across the half court and gave the ball to Gasol Jr. in the high post, then passed it to Conley at a 45-degree angle, and Conley then passed the ball to Randolph who was in the low post. Rubbing Green, without double-teaming, it is difficult for Green to withstand the impact of Randolph. Randolph can throw the ball in as long as he has a little space, which is very difficult!

Iguodala hurried over to help defend, Randolph dribbled, and threw the ball in before Iguodala closed the siege!

Zhang Xin received the ball and passed halftime under Tony Allen's defense. Zhang Xin is not in a hurry. Now, one is delaying time, and the other is to ensure the success rate. Tony Allen keeps attacking Zhang Xin with his footsteps, and Zhang Xin dribbles sideways. Blocking Tony Allen, Tony Allen's strong body can interfere with other defenders, but facing Zhang Xin's stronger body, he has nothing to do.

Zhang Xin dribbled the ball and kept observing the Grizzlies' defense and counting the time. After ten seconds, Zhang Xin called for a pick-and-roll, and Green quickly moved up. Zhang Xin almost hung up Tony Allen next to Green, and then broke through inside to switch defenses. Zach Randolph, who came over, was quite nervous. Zhang Xin had too many means, and it was very difficult to defend under the combination of throwing and attacking.

Seeing Zach Randolph fighting and retreating, Zhang Xin took two steps away from him, pulled up and shot, Randolph was still retreating, Zhang Xin's sudden stop jump shot couldn't be blocked at all, he just stretched out his hand , Zhang Xin made a hit!
The Oracle Center roared with cheers.

Only 80 seconds left.

　Deeply remember Jin Daxia, although Jin Daxia is gone, this world will always be there.
