Chapter 34 Black 3 Minutes

Mark Jackson has been observing. He wants to observe the performance of Wu Xiao against such a strong inside team. Seeing such a fierce confrontation, Mark Jackson, who is happy to see the hunter, waved his hand and replaced Iguodala. Small VS Piston Three Towers!

This may be the best teaching material for future generations to study five small lineups against purely large lineups, because later teams will no longer use such a lineup to deal with five small lineups.

Everyone in the Pistons doesn't know yet, they will become the objects of future coaches, assistants, video analysts and players who will often use them for research and comment.

They set up a serious defense, thinking that with such a small lineup, it might be a feast of rebounds for a while, thinking that they might score beautiful rebound data and get the chance to attack the basket for a while, the big men showed happy smiles.

The Warriors have the ball, and the big men are in good positions, like a king waiting for his prey to hit the net.

The Warriors players began to move, and the defenders found that it was not easy to run. There were protective walls everywhere. Green held the ball at the top of the arc and waited quietly, and an open player would come out soon.

Zhang Xin took the lead to get rid of Josh Smith, and Green's basketball guarded by his side went straight to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin's left foot was already facing the direction of the basket. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell straight into the net, making a pleasant sound.

The big guys didn't care, they slowly returned to the half court and settled down. Josh Smith received the pass from Jennings and directly hit Zhang Xin back. Walking the basketball, there was a bang, the Warriors players shot towards the backcourt like arrows, the big men rushed to catch up, and when they reached the three-point line, the Warriors players had already started to retreat: the offense was over.

It was Thompson who hit a three-pointer.

The big guys were a little dazed, so they could only return to the half court and started to ask for positions, but the little guys were so fast, no matter the pick-and-roll, off-ball screen, there was always someone in front of them, they seemed to be able to teleport, countless Waving the hand, once the big man dares to throw the ball to the floor, someone will come and take it away. When the big man chases back, the offense is over.

……

3 minutes of black!

These big men have enjoyed everything that Warcraft Howard has endured:
They feel that they have become slow-moving giants, while the warriors are fast elves. They are fooled and ridiculed. They want to chase these elves and knock them down to scare them. They can't catch up, they can't beat them!Instead, they shot down many giants with long arrows.

In just 3 minutes, the Warriors beat the Pistons 20-6!

The big guys returned to the bench in a daze, staring blankly at the coach's mouth opening and closing: the coach is so funny, the mouth opened and opened, like a fish thrown onto the shore.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the addicted Mark Jackson replaced Iguodala, Barnes, David Lee, Blake and Zhang Xin's first and fourth juniors.

The Pistons replaced Chauncey Billups, Kentavious Caldwell-Puppe, Jonas Jerebko, Greg Monroe, and Josh Smith.

This lineup is corresponding, the two sides you come and I go back and forth to attack and defend.

Chauncey Billups is 38 years old, and he came back just to provide for the elderly. By the way, he taught young people. However, the preciousness of veterans lies in: when young people are beaten at a loss, veterans will use their valuable experience to teach That's how the ball drops, young man.

Billups is an old man, and his wise eyes are constantly reading the formation of the Warriors, while reading and commanding. Under the guidance of Billups, the young man finally found a gap, and he received a pass from Billups and made a good shot. The 21-year-old Kentavious Caldwell Popeye clenched his fists excitedly and let out a low cry.

The Warriors attacked, Blake dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, Iguodala responded at the top of the arc, Zhang Xinliu bypassed David Lee from the bottom line and dropped the young Kentavious, received a pass from Iguodala in the bottom corner, Zhang Xinliu Xin did not hesitate to hit the ground to the air-cut Harrison Barnes, and Barnes made a layup in three steps!
Recently, Zhang Xin's field of vision has become wider and wider. Before he catches the ball, he has already observed the positioning of his teammates, and the moment he catches the ball, he can directly react according to the follow-up of his teammates.

Most of the pass masters are like this.

Friends who play ball must know that when you work hard to reach an open position, the person holding the ball is still looking for someone to pass the ball. When he sees you, the opportunity is gone. Running and passing the ball is like cutting On the surface of the water, in an instant!
For Chauncey Billups, Zhang Xin has a heart of respect, but when Billups used his experience to pierce the Warriors' defense again and again, Zhang Xin was also inspired to fight:
Then let's compare who is better at leading the team!
Chauncey Billups drives his teammates with the ball, while Zhang Xin drives his teammates without the ball.

Zhang Xin quickly read the Pistons' line, went to find David Lee to cover, bypassed the direct three-point line, received a pass from Blake, and broke through Jerebko who had missed the supplementary defense. Monroe quickly came to help defend, Zhang Xin Throw the ball into the sky, "Boom!" David Lee alley-oop!

Zhang Xin smiled at Billups.

Billups shook his head with a smile, and his heart moved: the young man's smile is really bright.

Billups couldn't move, but he was very smart. He called Monroe's pick-and-roll, and Monroe's pick-and-roll quality was very good. Lupus took a step forward to help David Lee gain confidence. David Lee could only go up to meet him. With a bang, David Lee's crotch felt cold, and the sound of a dunk came from behind.

Sophisticated Billups!
His physical strength has decreased and his movements have slowed down, but his consciousness and experience are not. He still knows how to control the whole scene!
Zhang Xin nodded, turned around and made a gesture with Iguodala, and nodded towards Barnes. Barnes nodded, and other teammates also expressed their understanding.

Blake dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, Zhang Xin circled to the three-point line, Barnes slipped across the baseline under the cover of Iguodala, Zhang Xin received the ball, and broke through directly inside, the Pistons quickly contracted Formation, Zhang Xin took a look at Barnes, and he was already in position. A slash pass passed through two Pistons defenders, and went straight to Barnes. Barnes jumped up and shot a three-pointer!middle!

"What did I see? Zhang Xin's pass is really wonderful! Passed through the crowd, arrived at Barnes who slipped past the baseline and reached the bottom corner, and Barnes made a shot!" Ke Fan praised loudly!
"This pass is really powerful! If it passes through the air, except for the high ball, otherwise it will be difficult to pass. If the high ball is slow, the Pistons will definitely be able to make up the defense. Passing the ball is the only way, but! The shot from this angle Earth, it’s difficult to cross such a long distance! Difficult! Has Zhang Xin’s passing reached this point?” Wang Meng expressed his disbelief.

Barnes hit a three-pointer and raised his hand to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin smiled brightly and tapped his chest with his fist: Believe in yourself!
Barnes was very grateful.

Recently, under the arrangement of the coaching staff, Barnes worked hard on corner three-pointers, and now it seems that it has finally paid off.As long as Barnes is sure of the three-pointer, opponents will not dare to let Barnes go, which will greatly benefit the Warriors' space.

Zhang Xin's back-up singles also need space. In the playoffs, no team will let you play easily. At this time, teammates who can open up space are very important. Moreover, with Zhang Xin's back-up The success rate of the body will definitely attract two players to double-team, so that Zhang Xin will become a support point, and the outside teammates can quickly pass the ball after Zhang Xin attracts double-teams and find more opportunities.

Billups looked at Zhang Xin admiringly. This young man's reading ability is very good. It's been a long time since he saw such a rookie. The last time, it might be that young man Paul.

Both young and old admire each other for how good your opponent is, but the game goes on.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two sides basically tied. The main players came back one after another. Zhang Xin also took a break. He played for 15 minutes in a row. This is the longest time he has played in a row since he landed in the NBA. Most of the time, the team had to forcefully squeeze the space out of their muscles, and Zhang Xin felt a little weak.

Mark Jackson patted Zhang Xin's shoulder with a smile: "Can you bear it?"

Zhang Xin nodded: "I'm a little tired, but I can still hold on."

Mark Jackson said: "Zhang, next I plan to make some adjustments and let Barnes enter the starting lineup. During the period when you play the dead five and have a rotation lineup, what do you think? If you think it's not appropriate, don't change the rotation. "

Zhang Xin thought about it. Apart from losing a starting title, such a rotation would improve the team's strength the most, because Thompson usually focuses on Thompson in the first quarter. During this period of time, he is much stronger than Barnes, so that he has more physical strength to attack when the lineup is rotated.

"Coach, I listen to you, this kind of rotation is more reasonable, I agree."

Mark Jackson couldn't help showing respect for this guy. Iguodala was able to enter the rotation because Iguodala felt that he had passed his peak, and after playing the boss, he felt that he was not suitable, so he was willing to enter the rotation to maximize his ability. , but Zhang Xin is young, his strength is more than a step above his peers, and he can compete with many bosses in the league, but he can make such sacrifices for the team. His temperament is indeed extraordinary.

But it’s only natural to think about it. After Zhang Xin came, many changes in the Warriors were brought about by him. They were planned by Zhang Xin’s excellent mind. As long as it is beneficial to the team, it is beneficial to the preparations for the playoffs, and it is beneficial to the championship. , Zhang Xin will cooperate.Mark Jackson thought.
