Chapter 345 Confrontation!

The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors chose to attack at the same time. The two teams scored a high score of 25:26 in the half quarter. Zhang Xin scored 8 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the half quarter. Although Rondo held the ball However, it is easier for Zhang Xin to get assists when he passes the ball after holding the ball in the low position to attract pincers. Therefore, although Zhang Xin holds the ball less, he has more assists than Rondo.

Coach Earl Watson replaced Zhang Xin and Chandler according to the rotation time, and put on PJ Tucker and Bro Gordon to ensure firepower. Steve Kerr let Curry lead the team, and left Klay Thompson and Harry. Sam Barnes, Tyler Johnson and Andre Iguodala, Tyler Johnson and Jonathan Simmons have entered a stable rotation lineup this season, the performance of the two boys is not bad, after all, Zhang Xin brought it out .

After Zhang Xin left the field, the offensive efficiency of the Suns immediately dropped a lot. Bro Gordon and Tucker are rookies, and there is still a long way to go before their independent creativity. As a point to create space, but not so much for creating opportunities.

Pau Gasol's singles in the interior is not easy to play against Zaza Pachulia. As a floor player, Pachulia has been able to play in the NBA for so many years because of his excellent defense. The frame is average, but he has his own set of methods to deal with Gasol's technical insiders.

Devin Booker can hold the ball, but his Tyler Johnson is not a weak player. After getting used to defending Zhang Xin, it is not too easy for Tyler Johnson to defend other players.

Rondo is constantly threading needles and can lead the team to score, but his efficiency is too poor when he is on the court with Zhang Xin, while the Warriors' offense is much smoother. Curry's offensive talent is definitely the same as that of Zhang Xin At the level, when Curry led the team alone, he completely let go of himself. He shot three-pointers with super long distances, and shot three-pointers against people. Under the leadership of the Warriors, the Warriors blossomed in full bloom, with a wave of 20:9 in the half quarter. The score between the two sides in the first quarter was 45:35, and the Warriors led by 10 points!
Earl Watson is frowning, Zhang Xin is calm and composed, and it is reasonable for Curry to explode, because Zhang Xin suppressed Curry's desire to attack during his three years in the Warriors. Teddy was the one. Because of the existence of Zhang Xin, Curry had to suppress himself. Now that Zhang Xin is gone, Curry's offensive ability can be regarded as having room to display.

As for the Suns being unable to withstand the Warriors' offense, this is quite normal. There are not many teams in the league that can withstand the Warriors' offense. For any team, a historical-level shooter is not just for fun.

What's more, this Suns team is just a hasty team, and this is only the third game of the new season. It is too far-fetched for such a new team to withstand the Warriors' offense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors played Klay Thompson, Sean Livingston, Jonathan Simmons, David West and JaVale McGee.

The Suns had Zhang Xin, Eric Bledsoe, PJ Tucker, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight.

The Warriors had the ball, Livingston dribbled the ball across half court steadily, and Klay Thompson and Jonathan Simmons started running under the cover of David West and JaVale McGee.

But the defense of the Suns lineup is not ordinary. Let alone whether the five players on the field have achieved a defensive system, at least they are very strong in single defense. It is difficult for the Warriors to run out of open space by passing and cutting. Thompson keeps running. However, Knight followed very closely. Thompson is not a player who can attack with the ball. As long as he is followed, his threat will be greatly reduced.

Although David West is old, he seems to have good vitality. However, it is not realistic for you to ask him to go to the low post to create opportunities in singles like in previous years. Not to mention McGee and Livingston, Jonathan Simon If Si is facing other people's defense, he can attack with the ball, but when facing Zhang Xin, don't be ridiculous, he and Zhang Xin are too familiar, and many of his offensive methods are taught by Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin's strength, even if he didn't lack confidence, he couldn't compete in strength.

This is the embarrassment of the Warriors this year. The overall strength is very strong, but they are lacking in the ability to break the deadlock. The current Warriors are like the Warriors in the 2015-16 season in the original history. When facing opponents of the same level, they will be stretched. They faced the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and were killed by the Thunder 3:1. If Klay Thompson hadn't shown his prowess, the Warriors might have been buried in the Western Conference Finals.

Moreover, although the Warriors entered the finals and took the lead in leading the Cavaliers 3:1, they were dragged into the seventh game in the face of the explosive Cavaliers. In the seventh game, Curry was Blockade, Klay Thompson was also restricted, no one could stand up and carry the team forward at the critical moment, and finally the Cavaliers won the O'Brien Cup.

This is the situation of this team, which can play a smooth offense, but can't stand up when facing tough stubble.

The Warriors' offense was stagnated by the Suns. Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Suns played a mercury-like offense. Zhang Xin continued to pick and roll and break through the ball. Bledsoe, Tucker and Knight scored a lot of three-pointers As for the shooting opportunities, Bledsoe, Turk and Knight forced Zhang Xin to practice three-pointers during the offseason. After these two months, their three-pointers have greatly improved, especially the fixed-point three-pointers. Under Zhang Xin's continuous feeding of the ball, the three teamed up to rain three points.

"Amazing! Today's Suns are so crazy. Bledsoe, Tucker and Knight all hit three-pointers. Their three-point shooting percentages have reached more than 50%. You must know that their three-point shooting percentage last season None of them reached more than 35%, most of them hovered around 33%, today is really crazy!" Wang Meng praised the sun while marveling.

"Steve Kerr should make adjustments immediately. The point difference has been equalized. Zhang Xin led the team to equalize the score in less than 4 minutes. Now the Suns are just like the Warriors, scoring explosively. It's strong, if the difference of more than ten points is reversed, it will be reversed, playing against such a team, even if it leads by more than twenty points, it is not safe." Su Qun laughed.

Sure enough, Cole called a timeout right away. If you don’t adjust, you can’t do it. If you don’t adjust the Suns, the score will be equalized. Cole replaced Curry, Green and Barnes, replacing Thompson, David West and livingston.
