Chapter 304 Depressed Grizzly

Cole couldn't sit still. Although the fourth quarter only played for 4 minutes, Zhang Xin had to come back early. With Zhang Xin as the backbone, the situation was different. Zhang Xin led the team and the Grizzlies had mutual offense and defense. The score has been maintained ahead.

McConley and coach Dave Jogel exchanged glances, their faces were quite dignified. After three games, Zhang Xin's fear was already a real threat.

Dave Jogel told Conley, "Don't let him speed up, and if there is a sign of pushing and counterattacking, let people foul him, don't let him charge up!"

Conley nodded, and went back to assign tasks to his teammates.

The Warriors had the ball, Zhang Xin quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, Tony Allen came to block, the action was quite rough, Zhang Xin looked at Tony Allen in a little surprise, although Tony Allen was active in defense, but his movements were relatively clean, Are the Grizzlies starting to worry?
Tony Allen kept pushing and pulling, and the Grizzlies' home court advantage came out. Tony Allen's actions were on the verge of being blown or not blown, but the referee didn't blow it. Zhang Xin was a little irritated by being entangled. Block it, there is not much time left, Zhang Xin can only take a shot against the defense, the ball is a hit.

In the next two attacks, under the targeted defense of the Grizzlies, Zhang Xin made a strong hit and missed, and passed a pass to Barnes who was open. Barnes missed a hit. The Grizzlies overtook the score and the Grizzlies led the Warriors. 1 point.

With only 3 minutes left, Cole hurriedly called a timeout to make adjustments, but Cole didn't pay attention to how to adjust it for the time being. Cole looked at Zhang Xin with probing eyes.

Zhang Xin took a sip of water, exhaled, and said to Cole, "Let's go to the small lineup!"

Cole looked at Gentry with a solemn expression. Gentry nodded slowly. This is the only way to go. The Grizzlies are so tough today, and they can't defend anyway, so let's attack and see. Who can be slightly better.

Since both Zhang Xin and Gentry made the decision, Cole did not hesitate any longer and made adjustments for substitutions, including Zhang Xin, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, and Drummond Green. And Klay Thompson!

Before going on stage, Zhang Xin summoned several people on the stage and told him:

"According to our usual method of flanking big men inside, don't hesitate, as long as Randolph or Gasol has the ball, they will firmly flank. Others should cut off the route, cut off the route, and make up defense. Don't hesitate!
In terms of offense, whoever gets the rebound will directly push and switch. Don't hesitate, I want to see how many of them can keep up! "Zhang Xin gritted his teeth quite a bit.

Iguodala and the others nodded heavily. They trusted Zhang Xin's game reading.

The Warriors had the ball, Zhang Xin dribbled the ball across half court, handed the ball to Drummond Green, and stepped down to catch the ball, Green gave the ball to Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin turned his head to observe the Grizzlies' defense, see Gasol Just around the corner to come over and attack.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xin turned around and dropped the ball in the middle of the road. Before Gasol came to attack, he jumped up and flipped in the air. Tony Allen could only helplessly, watching Zhang Xin throw the ball in. Shin's fadeaway jumper is really buggy!

The Warriors lead by one point.

McConley received the ball and Zhang Xin led the defense, preventing Conley from crossing the halfcourt easily. Conley continued to use the width of the court to bring the ball across the halfcourt. Marc Gasol responded from the high post. Dove single kneaded Green.

Iguodala went straight to Randolph without hesitation. Iguodala came too fast. Randolph was caught off guard and wanted to pass the ball. Zhang Xin appeared on the passing route and directly intercepted the ball.

Zhang Xin steals the ball and immediately starts a fast break. Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala, and Green all keep up. Zhang Xin takes the lead and goes straight to the basket of the Grizzlies. Xin attracted him in, Zhang Xin gave the ball to Thompson, Thompson raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

Thompson was defended by the Grizzlies tonight. If Zhang Xin did not break through the basket to attract double-teams, Thompson would not even be able to run out of space. After scoring the goal, Thompson patted his chest excitedly and pointed at Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin smiled knowingly.

The Warriors lead by 4 points!
Now it was Dave Jogel's turn to call a timeout, and the Warriors played a 5:0 spurt. According to his understanding of the Warriors, if they don't stop in time, they can close the game in one wave.

Dave Jogel hurriedly made some adjustments, nothing more than preventing the Warriors from speeding up and flanking Zhang Xin at any time, but it was of no use when they played.

The Grizzlies moved outside and wanted to use the black and white bears that were invincible in the first half to move, but the Warriors' lineup is fast and the rotation can handle it.

Conley and Marc Gasol have a high pick-and-roll, Marc Gasol goes straight, Conley gives the ball to Gasol, Gasol tries to carry Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin is steady in the plate, Gasol Jr. does not carry it, and wants to turn around and throw For the shot, Zhang Xin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and cut the ball directly!

Zhang Xin took the ball and started the transition directly. It was the last 2 minutes of the game. Tony Allen didn't dare to foul, so the foul sent Zhang Xin to the free throw line.

Zhang Xin strode like a shooting star, and went straight to the Grizzlies basket. Tony Allen and Courtney Lee quickly blocked the middle. Zhang Xin made an emergency stop, retreated beyond the three-point line, chased for a three-pointer, and made a hit!

Zhang Xin hit a three-pointer for the first time today!The personal score also reached 52 points!
The FedEx arena was silent, only a few Warriors fans were cheering and applauding, the cicadas were noisy in the forest, and the birdsong mountain was more secluded. The sporadic cheers made the FedEx arena economically dire.

The Warriors have opened the point difference to 7 points!
The situation was similar to the previous game, and the suspense was kept until the last moment, but the difference of a few points was a natural barrier for the Grizzlies, and they couldn't overcome it no matter what.

The Grizzlies scored one, and Zhang Xin immediately responded with one. There were several rounds in more than one minute, two rounds were amazing, especially when the Warriors started to delay time. Tony Allen sent Zhang Xin to the free throw line twice, But Zhang Xin hit all of them!

The FedEx Arena fell into an embarrassing silence, and the Grizzlies' players were already frustrated. Today, they have gone all out and fought desperately, but they were still defeated in the face of Zhang Xin's outburst!

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 110:102. The Warriors won by 8 points. It was difficult for the Warriors to win, but the Grizzlies were unwilling to lose.

Zhang Xin scored a total of 59 points, 14 assists and 15 rebounds in this game!Zhang Xin won a 50+ triple-double for the third time in this playoffs!

Steve Kerr said in an interview after the game:

"When Stephen Curry was injured, during halftime, when everyone was in a bad mood, Zhang Xin told us that Stephen was a lucky guy who could rest until the finals, and everyone laughed at that time , Then he said a word, he said, give me enough playing time, I can score 60 points per game, and you have seen the results."

Cole shrugged.

　The Windy Rose is back!Sprinkle flowers!
