Chapter 346 The secret of basketball lies outside of basketball

The return of Curry and others stopped the decline, and the Suns exchanged offense and defense, and the score rose alternately. After the second quarter, the score of the two sides was 78:81, and both sides played jaw-dropping high scores.

Zhang Xin scored 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the first half. At halftime, Zhang Xin got a triple-double.

"Zhang Xin is becoming more and more terrifying. He used to average a triple-double, but now he is about to win a triple-double at halftime. His dominance is really terrifying. If the Suns can integrate the team as soon as possible, relying on their lineup , even if they can’t break through the West, they can become one of the top teams in the West where there are many strong teams, and I’m afraid they can go very far in the playoffs!” Wang Meng couldn’t help guessing.

"I'm afraid it's true. Although the current Phoenix still has such and other problems, their potential has been revealed. They have no shortage of shooters. Zhang Xin, Devin Booker, PJ Tucker, Bledsoe , Knight, Bro Gordon, Batty Hield are all shooters.

Although Buddy Hield has not shown his three-pointer this season, in the 2015-16 NCAA season, Buddy Hield averaged 35.4 points, 25 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.9 steals in 1.1 minutes per game. , The shooting percentage is 50.1%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 45.7%. Although the NCAA's three-point line is much shorter than that of the NBA, for a shooter, as long as he is given time to adapt, he can generally adapt quickly.

There are Paul Gasol and Tyson Chandler on the inside, as well as passionate defenders like Dudley and Tucker. As long as the Suns stay healthy, their inside line is not inferior to others.

There are also two top commanders on the field, Zhang Xin and Rondo. The advantage of having two top commanders is that they can lead the team separately, ensuring that there is one brain commanding the field at any time. Looking around like this, As long as the Suns' system is formed, they will be a strong contender for the championship. It depends on when they can integrate successfully. "Su Qun analyzed it in great detail.

"It's just that the NBA can't just look at the configuration on paper. The famous basketball critic Bill Simmons said that the secret of basketball lies outside the basketball. A strong team has never only looked at the configuration on paper, but also depends on their establishment. system:
The atmosphere in their locker room, their coaching staff, their management, and countless factors other than basketball are affecting them. Many teams have formed an extremely powerful lineup on the card during the off-season or during the trade.

Bill Simmons once asked Isaiah Thomas, the soul who led the Pistons to win two consecutive championships, hey, why didn't you win three consecutive championships in one go?
Listen to me man, back then, it wasn't all about being on the court, we were playing 100 games a year, everybody was exhausted, and the bench guys were doing their own thing to get the next one With a larger contract, star players no longer give their best every night, but only show their power in the nationally broadcast games that they think are crucial. Players who are gradually becoming famous think about more possessions and shots.We no longer have hunger, go all out to fight for every floor ball, Daly has gradually lost control of the team, the ultimate mystery of basketball is not on the court, but off the court, you know what I mean ?Isaiah Thomas said.

That's it, whether the sun can really become stronger depends on how it will be integrated next. "

No matter how it develops in the later stage, at least the Suns look very strong now. At least they and the Warriors still maintain the suspense of the game when there are 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter. In the last 6 minutes, the score of the two sides is 116:110. The Warriors lead by 6 points, the time is enough, and the suspense still exists.

The main forces of both sides are exhausted, the Warriors played Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Drummond Green and Andre Iguodala, Steve Kerr is going to work hard, and he played at the critical moment Five small lineups.

The Phoenix Suns wrote Zhang Xin, Rajon Rondo, Devin Booker, Tyson Chandler and Paul Gasol, still insisting on the twin towers tactics.

The final decisive battle began, the Warriors switched offense and defense, and the Suns controlled the rhythm, trying their best not to let the Warriors pull up the rhythm.

The sun has the ball, Rondo dribbles the ball at the top of the arc to direct the movement, and helps Zhang Xin withdraw the space. Now the sun wants to hit the ball. As long as the sun makes the ball, it is difficult for the Warriors to initiate a transition. Zhang Xin stuck Harry in the low post Sen Barnes received a pass from Rondo, Zhang Xin received the ball, Thompson let Rondo go, and directly flanked Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin turned directly to the baseline, and it took time for Thompson to come and attack. This time was enough for him to turn to the baseline and complete the shot. Zhang Xin turned to the baseline, stuck Barnes, and Thompson was blocked behind. The three arrived. The bottom line is very small, and Zhang Xin's side is almost evacuated. Rondo directly cuts in according to Zhang Xin's tactics. He believes that Zhang Xin has the ability to pass the ball out.

Sure enough, after turning around, Zhang Xin caught Barnes. When Thompson was looking for a pinch angle, Zhang Xin hit the ground with a crotch and passed the ball. Duo went straight to the layup, Green hurried over to help defend, Iguodala wanted to defend Chandler for Green, Devin Booker was emptied, Rondo passed the ball in the air to Devin Booker who was emptied in the corner, Devin Booker raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

Cole waved his hand fiercely. The scary thing about Zhang Xin is that he can always pass the ball out when he is flanked. When he was in the Warriors, Zhang Xin created countless opportunities for his teammates in this way. But if you don't flank, you can't defend against it alone.

The point difference was forced to close to three points.

Curry quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and Green was in a high pick-and-roll, Gasol chose a big delay, Rondo chased, Green was emptied, Green attacked the basket with the ball, Chandler used his rich experience to block Green's The only way to go, Green chose a drop shot, but unfortunately he missed, the ball bounced out of the frame, Zhang Xin grabbed the rebound and fought back.

Curry and Thompson blocked the middle lane, trying to force Zhang Xin to stop. Zhang Xin directly pulled up from the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. Curry took off to interfere, but it was still difficult for Curry's height to interfere with Zhang Xin. , Zhang Xin chased and hit a three-pointer!
The score is equalized!

The fans in the Talking Stick Holiday Inn Arena seemed to be pulled up from their seats by a force. All the fans raised their arms and shouted. The cheers converged into waves rolling back and forth inside the stadium, like the waves of the Qiantang River.

"It's a blast! Only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, the king of the last quarter is well-deserved! As long as the game can be dragged to the last moment, Zhang Xin will never let people down. Zhang Xin's performance at the critical moment The dominance is definitely at the top in history! Now it's up to the Warriors how to deal with it." Wang Meng shouted loudly.

"In the past, Zhang Xin stood up at the critical moment of the Warriors. Who will stand up now? This will be a test for the Warriors. The teammate who was the strongest and the most decisive at the critical moment before has now become an opponent, the most powerful teammate. Become the most powerful enemy, and the changes in the world are really amazing!" Su Qun couldn't help laughing.
