Chapter 344 Low position, still low position!
Curry passed halftime under Rondo's defense. Green set up a pick-and-roll for Curry in the high post. Gasol stood one step inside the three-point line and didn't dare to go up. With Curry's speed, he might go up as soon as he goes up. Was whizzed by, but Curry is not like Rondo, once Gasol let go, Curry did not hesitate, directly raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

Zhang Xin shook his head. This is not a problem with Gasol's experience, but that Curry is too buggy. Not to mention the old guy Gasol, even a young big man can't keep up with Curry, like Gobert and Capela. They are all played by Curry. You can't expect Gasol, a veteran who has reached the end of his career, to stop Curry.

The Suns player, Zhang Xin went to the low post again. This time the Warriors let go of the outside line and protected the inside line extremely well, but with Zhang Xin's insight, how can this method be limited and directly give the ball to the vacated team? Devin Booker, Booker raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

The Warriors once again used Curry and Green's pick-and-roll. This time Gasol defended, but Rondo didn't come over in time to attack. Curry broke through to the basket with a dribble and made a layup.

Not to mention other things, the Warriors are hard to defend against Curry and Green's pick-and-roll, unless they are on a small lineup and have unlimited defenses, or there is a big delay directly, or let Rondo chase Curry, but In this way, Green can only attack the basket, and there must be a trade-off. Zhang Xin indicated that Rondo and Gasol would go directly to the big delay, and Rondo and Gasol expressed their understanding.

Rondo quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. Similar to Zhang Xin, Rondo is also a player who can play this tactic for the whole game as long as the tactics are effective. Duo said that when he was on the court, he let Rondo drive, and Rondo could decide the tactics.

Rondo signaled to Zhang Xin to go to the low post. Without hesitation, Zhang Xin went directly to the low post and caught Harrison Barnes. Rondo's ball was in place immediately. Zhang Xin took advantage of the opportunity and turned around in the middle, without waiting for the other Warriors to attack. , Turned around and shot a fallback jumper, and the basketball fell into the net neatly.

Zhang Xin succeeded in three consecutive low-post singles, one pass to the basket for a dunk, one hit a three-pointer, and one successful singles by himself. This kind of success rate is really a headache, and Steve Kerr feels it is a headache. In the past, when Zhang Xin was on his own team, Zhang Xin was very happy with this move against other teams. When Zhang Xin was on the opposite side, he realized how headache Zhang Xin's low-post singles were.

Warriors attack, Curry still finds Green's high pick-and-roll. Go around Green and attack Curry.

Curry gave the ball to Green, who was running down, and Chandler turned around to face Green in the interior. Based on Chandler's experience, the ball was not too forward, and Green was not allowed to make a layup. The point chosen was precisely Green. You can choose a small floating shot, but there is no way to layup and dunk position.

Green can only pass to Zaza Pachulia. Zaza Pachulia's athletic ability has regressed a lot. He didn't get up for the first time and was shaken. Chandler has so much experience that he didn't get shaken up, but this position It is very difficult to defend, Zaza Pachulia is too deep, Chandler can only raise his hands, it depends on Pachulia's own feel.

Pachulia swayed and pushed Chandler with his shoulder to confirm that Chandler had no way to take off before jumping up and preparing to wipe the board. As soon as the ball was released, Green shouted: "Be careful!"

Pachulia didn't know what was going on. A black shadow covered the sky and covered the sun. He stretched out his big hand and slapped the ball on the backboard.
Fans at the Holiday Inn Talking Stick Arena cheered earth-shatteringly, like a sudden flash flood.

Pachulia staggered and fell out of the bottom line, but the referee didn't say anything. The cap was very clean, and it was normal to have some contact underneath. Pachulia looked up and saw that it was Zhang Xin!
Pachulia is not very familiar with Zhang Xin. He was in the East and only played a few games a year with the teams in the West. There are a few encounters, but when it comes to familiarity, it is definitely not counted. Pachulia arrived in the Warriors not long ago, but no matter who on the team talked about Zhang Xin, they all looked very respectful. It can be seen how popular Zhang Xin is, but it is a pity that Zhang Xin has already gone to the Suns when he arrived in the Warriors. Can fight side by side with Zhang Xin.

Pachulia was hated by Zhang Xin, but there was no resentment. A dragon soaring in the sky, and an old man, looking forward to winning a championship in the Warriors. The status of the two in the league is very different, and Pachulia also He was no longer a young man who would complain in his heart just because he was hated.

Chandler quickly protected the rebound and handed it to Rondo. Rondo made a quick switch, but the Warriors returned to defense so quickly. They quickly returned to the defensive position. They were orderly and did not give Phoenix a chance to switch. Don’t worry, wait for Zhang Xin to settle down, and as soon as Zhang Xin gets stuck on Barnes, Rondo will pass the ball to Zhang Xin. Klay Thompson pinches Zhang Xin first, and Rondo throws the ball to the emptied German Booker, Devin Booker did not hesitate to raise the knife and hit a three-pointer again!

Steve Kerr hurriedly called a timeout and had to make some adjustments. Under Rondo's transfer, Zhang Xin was too threatening in the low post. If he didn't flank, Zhang Xin would probably crush Barnes, but if he flanked Phoenix Devin Booker can't let it go. Although Rondo is not allowed to make three-pointers, Rondo's breakthrough is very sharp. Protruding, the Warriors' defense is not far from collapse.

But it is really not easy to make some adjustments. Barnes is the Warriors' defensive strength. No one in the Warriors can limit Zhang Xin. This is the result of three years of verification. Xin cannot rely on single-handed defense, nor can he attack in a pinch. Zhang Xin's ability to play the ball is the top in the league. Pau Gasol and Chandler are both seasoned players. They know how to play under the hands of super players:
Pau Gasol and Kobe won two championships together. Kobe created many chances for Pau Gasol to catch and layup with his super strong ability to attract flankers;
Tyson Chandler assisted Dirk Nowitzki to win the championship. Dirk Nowitzki was a very buggy player that year. Tyson Chandler was too good at buying bottoms when Nowitzki was flanked. deducted!

It's impossible to defend alone, and it's not wise to attack in a pinch. Since you can't defend, you can only choose to attack. Phoenix and the Golden State Warriors made the same choice: since you can't defend, it depends on whose offense is better!
