new lord of the rings

Chapter 382 Confrontation!

Cole was thinking about how to limit Zhang Xin, but Curry didn't think too much. The competition was about who scored more points. Compared with scoring, the Warriors haven't really been afraid of anyone. If they can't prevent Zhang Xin, they can score more points themselves. Yes.

Curry saw that Clay's hand feeling was not good today, so he didn't have to give it to Clay. The key now is to close the score first. He has been teammates with Zhang Xin for several years. He knows Zhang Xin's ability too well. The score was stretched too far, and it would be too difficult to recover. If the game was delayed until the last moment, he would not have the confidence to beat Zhang Xin.

Curry took Green's serve from the bottom line and quickly passed halftime under Rondo's entanglement. This time he didn't give it to Green, but beckoned Zaza Pachulia to come over for a high pick-and-roll. This is a big part of the Warriors. Magic weapon, although Pachulia is not as fast as Green, but Pachulia's pick-and-roll is very strong, and his generous body stuck Rondo to death at once, and Pachulia's small movements are not slow. No, hold on to Rondo.

Curry passed sideways, and Gasol quickly switched over. Phoenix has played two games with the Warriors this season, with one win and one loss. Sol also knew it well, and hurried up to the big delay, Pachulia went down and took Rondo away, and Gasol was exposed to Curry's muzzle.

Curry is worthy of being one of the players with the best combination of man and ball in the league. After a few changes of direction, he passed Gasol and broke into the inside. Succeeded, Curry's touch is too soft!
Zhang Xin doesn't care either. The Warriors have too many routines. It is very difficult to limit the Warriors' scoring. Of course, it is not impossible, but at least the Suns' current defensive ability is insufficient. Another thing, in the final analysis of a basketball game, the team with the highest score wins, regardless of whether it scores 110 points or 150 points.

Zhang Xin didn't hesitate, he still caught the ball in the bottom position, turned around after receiving the pass, and made a fallback jumper. The flanking defensive player even made a shot before he arrived. Barnes was too close and was caught by Zhang Xin. After a while, I couldn't jump up at all. I could only watch Zhang Xin doing picturesque movements in the air and sending the ball into the basket.

Curry shook his head. Zhang Xin can still fight the entire game by grabbing the opponent's weakness. Before as a teammate, he felt that it was not entertaining. Now as an opponent, he realized that viewing is not necessary. Hurting the opponent is the key. However, it is difficult for Zhang Xin to deal with the warriors with this move.

Neither side can guard against the other, you come and go, it's like the tip of a needle against a wheat awn, mung bean against a tortoise's eye, the fight is evenly matched, the fans at the Oracle Center are watching happily, there is no way, this kind of game is really too much Wonderful!
Drummond Green saw that Barnes was rubbed by Zhang Xin again and again, but he couldn't defend himself. Green wanted to defend Zhang Xin by himself. He took advantage of the serve to explain to Barnes: "Harrison, we will Switch defenses, you go to guard Tucker, I go to defend Zhang, we can't chase the score if we continue to play like this."

Harrison Barnes has nothing to do. Although he knew that Zhang Xin couldn't guard against him a few years ago, it was not a good feeling to be let Zhang Xin put in on his head one by one. Now Green is willing to go. Defense, he was relieved psychologically, so he nodded obediently.

Rondo dribbled the ball through the half court, observed the Warriors' defense, and found that the Warriors changed their defense, and the man marking Zhang Xin became Green. Rondo indicated if there was any problem with Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin nodded and said the same execution. Rondo believed Zhang Xin The choice, or find a way to give the ball in.

Green's defense was much wilder. He carried Zhang Xin all the time to prevent Zhang Xin from catching the ball easily. Zhang Xin pushed Green and got stuck before receiving the ball. Turning around and making a big loop, he hooked Green's arm at once, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Green made a foul by holding hands.

Green blushed, and ran to the referee to complain that the ball was not fouled, but the referee ignored it. Zhang Xin executed a free throw and made two free throws. After the free throw, Zhang Xin teased Green: "Hey, Drummond, you The defense can't retreat, and I even made a foul."

Green was a little aggrieved: "Zhang, I must guard against you in the next round."

Zhang Xin laughed: "Come on, you have never guarded against me, where did you get the confidence."

Green: "Look, I'm not the same as I was before."

"Wow, I'll wait and see!" Zhang Xin said with a smile, the two had a few words of bickering, which seemed to be true and false, but it was quite fun, and they often joked with each other when they were in the same team.

As soon as it came over, Klay Thompson also began to explode. After Curry and Green's high pick-and-roll, Curry returned the ball to Green. Catch and shoot from the three-point line, hit a three-pointer, and chase the score to two points.

The strategy of the Warriors is relatively clear. Zhang Xin plays in the bottom position. Although the hit rate is high, but two points are two points after all. Cole also made a choice, let Zhang Xin go to the basket for singles, and did not let Zhang Xin Support and drive teammates.

Of course, Zhang Xin saw Cole's plan. Cole used the method of dealing with James to deal with Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin laughed. He and James are not the same type of players. The way of playing consumes a lot of physical strength, and he doesn't consume much physical strength when playing in the bottom position, and his efficiency is extremely high. Cole will suffer a disadvantage if he wants to deal with him in the same way.

Zhang Xin gestured to his teammates and changed his defensive strategy. When encountering a pick-and-roll, he directly switched defenses, directly locked the outside line, and prevented the Warriors from taking three-pointers.

But when both sides could only score with two points, Zhang Xin's efficiency was higher, and the point difference began to widen again. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Cole quickly called a timeout for adjustment.

Zhang Xin discussed with Earl Watson immediately after the game: "Coach, let's make adjustments. We are going to play a small lineup. The Warriors should play a small lineup in a while. They will limit me with infinite rotation and inside pinching. The next step is to add three-point shooters to deal with their flanks."

Earl Watson nodded with a serious expression, and quickly made substitution adjustments.

The timeout ended, and the Warriors really got a small lineup, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Drummond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala.

Phoenix got Devin Booker, Zhang Xin, PJ Tucker, Malcolm Brogdon and Buddy Hield.

Steve Kerr's eyes almost fell out: ... this lineup?
