new lord of the rings

Chapter 343
The place where Zhang Xin treats guests is in a high-end club in the city center. This is the membership card that the boss Robert Saville asked for, otherwise he will not be able to get in. After Zhang Xin arrives, he will ask the waiter to prepare. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, Sean Livingston, Jonas Simmons, Tyler Johnson and others are all here, Zhang Xin is happy to be with them one by one Hugging, Curry and others were also very happy, but Zhang Xin didn't see Green, so he consulted Curry.

"He's down there, he's a little embarrassed, he lost his temper with you when you left last time, and after we persuaded him well, he slowly calmed down, and now he's a little embarrassed. "Curry laughed into a dog's tail flower.

Zhang Xin laughed: "Brothers, let's play first, order whatever you want to drink and eat, I'll go and pick up Drummond first."

Iguodala waved to Zhang Xin, signaling Zhang Xin to go on his own. After getting along for many years, they have a brotherly relationship, and there is no need for politeness at all.

When Zhang Xin arrived downstairs, he saw Green. Green's expression was a bit embarrassing. Zhang Xin went over and hugged Green directly: "Hey, brother, I miss you!"

"Zhang, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you." Green felt a little sorry.

"Drummond, it's good that you can understand. You are all my good brothers. I have many good memories with you, but I need challenges. We are too strong together!"

"Although I don't quite understand it, I still want to bless you, Zhang. Golden State will always be your home. You are welcome to come back anytime. When you come back, we will win another three consecutive championships."

"Haha, okay, I will go back one day." Zhang Xin held Green's shoulders, "Let's go, have a good drink tonight."

"Haha, OK!" Green also laughed. The two of them had settled their suspicions. Originally, it was not a contradiction. It was not that Zhang Xin went to join a strong team to win the championship, but he felt that there was no challenge and he wanted to go out on his own. Entrepreneurship and team play.

The old man hadn't seen him for a long time. Although he didn't drink much that night, he had a good talk and told each other his parting feelings. Although they were their own masters now, it didn't affect the relationship between them in the slightest.

The Golden State Warriors got off to a bad start. They were beaten up when they met the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 129:100 at the Warriors’ home court. The impact of Zhang Xin’s departure was finally reflected, and they will have to make up for it in a while It's really not that easy. Barnes is the top starter. Although his ability is not as good as Zhang Xin, he doesn't really show it in the starting lineup.

The key is when changing the lineup. After Zhang Xin left, there was a problem with the Warriors' rotation. When Klay Thompson led the rotation, the offense was very constipated. It seems to be back to the Mark Jackson thing, but this is temporary. Generally speaking, the current lineup of the Warriors is still very strong, and this situation should improve after a period of adjustments.

※※※

On the game day, the arena of the Talking Stick Resort Hotel was crowded. After Zhang Xin arrived, I am afraid that for a long period of time, the Suns would not need to worry about how to sell tickets, but how to do security work. Well, after all, the arena that can accommodate 2 people is packed to the brim, and the slightest disturbance will breed chaos.

The fans all know that Zhang Xin will face the former host today, and everyone is looking forward to what sparks the two sides will collide. Not only the fans, but also the media from all sides are also speculating. The league decisively arranged a national live broadcast for this game. The drama has always attracted attention. Even though it has become a business for league players to change teams, there are still such grievances and grievances.

Before the Suns and the Warriors started fighting, Zhang Xin and the Warriors hugged each other.

The game officially begins.

The starting lineup sent by Steve Kerr is: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Zaza Pachulia, Draymond Green.

Earl Watson's starting lineup is: Zhang Xin, Devin Booker, Rajon Rondo, Pau Gasol, Tyson Chandler.

Gasol and Pachulia jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Suns got the ball for the first time.

Rondo was under Curry's defense after halftime, Pau Gasol stepped up to support Devin Booker and Zhang Xin started running, Barnes followed Zhang Xin closely, not daring to let Zhang Xin easily He has been a teammate for three years. He knows how scary Zhang Xin is. Zhang Xin observed the Warriors' defense while running. The Warriors' defense has not regressed. Although Pachulia is not as good as Bogut in protecting the frame, his standing Very smart.

Devin Booker was stuck by Thompson, and it was difficult to run out of position. The Warriors' defense has always been to oppress the outside line, not easy to miss, forcing the opponent to shoot one-on-one, unless it is facing a super scorer. Flanking, the Warriors are disciplined in that regard.

Zhang Xin is one of the founders of this system, he knows it too well!

Zhang Xin ran to the side, sank to the low post, received a pass from Pau Gasol, and started playing Barnes with his back. He wanted to force the Warriors to change their defensive strategy. Chances are, the Warriors are the masters of passing and cutting in the league. Is there anyone who can defeat the Warriors by passing and cutting?Yes, like the San Antonio Spurs, the Warriors played against the Spurs in the first game of the regular season.
But the Spurs have created such a system after more than ten years of painstaking efforts by Popovich. Now the Suns have not even formed a system. Let this system full of loopholes compete with the Warriors, don't be kidding!
But it is not without opportunities. High position support is one way to pass and cut, and low position support is another way. Zhang Xin must use a method that can hurt the Warriors to force the Warriors to change their defense. Zhang Xin's first move is to play the low position.

Zhang Xin singled out Barnes. Except for Pachulia, everyone else knew that Barnes was absolutely irresistible. This is the truth that has been tempered in the team's training. Zhang Xin took a step inside, and Green hurried over to assist. Defense, Zhang Xin made a ground pass to Pau Gasol who was running down, and Gasol dunked successfully.

Simple and rough, this ball Zhang Xin forced Green to help defend, as soon as Green made a move, the high-post Gasol immediately went down, and Pachulia was entangled by Chandler, so he couldn't keep up.

The offense should not be a big problem, but Zhang Xin knows that the difficult time has just begun. With the current system of the Suns, it is very difficult to defend the Golden State Warriors, who are the number one offensive player in the league!
