new lord of the rings

Chapter 392
Zhang Xin received the ball at the top of the arc, and Hayward followed closely to prevent Zhang Xin from getting a shot. Zhang Xin didn't bother to tangle with Hayward, and directly called a high pick-and-roll. Chandler mentioned that the high position helped Zhang Xin blocked Hayward, and Zhang Xin faced Gobert with an in-and-out one-handed change of direction. He passed Gobert and broke through to the inside. Dior wanted to come from the side to intercept Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin had already taken three steps. Get up, and Dior quickly dodges. There are two people in the league who are best not to go up to block after they charge up. One is LeBron James and the other is Zhang Xin. Both of them are players with both height, weight and speed. Once they charge up, You can't stop it, but if you have to send a foul, it's okay.

As a dying veteran, why bother to give face to young people, not to mention the old arm and old leg, it is not good to be injured, maybe the old man will be miserable, no one guards the basket, Zhang Xin dunked hard and succeeded!

Usually Zhang Xin would not play like this, but now that his opponent is suppressed by the opponent's home court momentum, he will stand up to intimidate the opponent and encourage his teammates. Sure enough, after a dunk, the noise in the arena stopped temporarily.

But today's Jazz's offense is like mercury pouring down the ground. No matter how they play, they can't make any shots, but Phoenix can't make any shots. Shortness of breath, Zhang Xin saw that Devin Booker was obviously in a state of severe hypoxia, sighed, and signaled for a substitution, Earl Watson quickly took advantage of the dead ball to replace Devin Booker and stepped on Batty Hilde, replace Pau Gasol, replace PJ Tucker.

After the replacement, the situation is not very good. The Jazz has been fully opened. The hands and feet on the side of the sun are weak, and the breathing is very short after intense exercise. The oxygen in the air is too little for people in low-altitude areas. Suddenly, it is even more difficult to exercise. Every season, the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz can win many home games by virtue of their terrain advantages.

After the first quarter, thanks to Zhang Xin's hard support, the Jazz did not let the Jazz open the score. The score between the two sides in the first quarter was 32:36, and Phoenix fell behind by 4 points.

In the second quarter, Zhang Xin rested off the court, and Rondo led the team. The remaining four were Paul Gasol, PJ Tucker, Batty Hield and Malcolm Brogdon.

The Jazz have Gordon Hayward, Joe Johnson, Joe Ingles, Shelvin Mark, Trey Lyles.

The situation has not improved for Phoenix. If it is only the fatigue caused by lack of oxygen, then Phoenix can solve the problem through multiple rotations, but now the rhythm is chaotic, and many open balls should not be scored. Let the Jazz shrink boldly , The outside line can't make a shot, the inside line can't shrink and break in, Phoenix's offense is limited, and the score is gradually opened.

In the second half of the second quarter, Earl Watson played on Zhang Xin. After Zhang Xin came on the court, he ran actively, helped his teammates with pick-and-rolls and air cuts, and created opportunities for them, but the efficiency was still low. Phoenix was not in shape today. , Zhang Xin can only choose to attack by himself, because other people can't open it, the Jazz can boldly attack Zhang Xin, even Zhang Xin, if there is no good environment, he will kneel, of course it is impossible to completely restrict, but reduce Zhang Xin's efficiency It is still possible.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 54:70, and the Utah Jazz led by 16 points.

Back in the locker room, Zhang Xin looked at his teammates sweating profusely, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some games are like this, no matter how hard you try, it can't be undone, sometimes your touch will betray you, and You can’t find the reason, you sleep on time, you train on time, your mood doesn’t fluctuate, and your wife still scolds you every day, but no matter how you vote, it’s hard to find the reason, the magic is almost like metaphysics.

But encouragement should still be encouraged. As the leader of the team, he should stand up and give spiritual guidance.

Zhang Xin smiled and clapped his hands: "Hey, gays, what are you doing downcast, look up, I know you are tired and frustrated now, but the long season is like this, there will always be times when your touch will betray you, but we still There are a lot of things we can do, we can get in position, we can grab rebounds, we can hit the opponent's basket, don't we have to play without long-range shots? We have to learn to deal with more difficulties!"

"Devin, what else can you do besides three points?" Zhang Xin pointed to Devin Booker.

"Boss, I can still break through to the basket!" Devin Booker stood up and said quite seriously. Today he made 8-for-[-] three-pointers and was depressed. When he saw Zhang Xin calling his name and asked him to call to respond.

Zhang Xin nodded and pointed at Tucker: "PJ, what else can you do besides shooting a three-pointer from the bottom corner?"

PJ Tucker also immediately stood up: "I can rush for rebounds, and I can stalk my opponent!"

Zhang Xin nodded in satisfaction, and changed the direction of his fingers. When he reached Battyhild, Battihild seemed to jump up. Before Zhang Xin could ask, he said loudly, "Boss, I can run!"

Move your finger to Malcolm Brogdon, and Brogdon has already stood up: "I can make an empty cut, and I can rush for rebounds!"

Zhang Xin nodded and smiled in satisfaction: "So, brothers! We still have a lot to do, please don't lose your fighting spirit easily, we still have a long way to go, and we have to face even more cruel playoffs , the Western Conference finals like a meat grinder, the finals of life and death, we still have many difficulties to face, and today is just a regular season, even if we lose, it will have no impact on us, let go Just hit it."

Confidence returned to the faces of the young people, as if their burden had been lifted, they let out a heavy breath, and their breathing became peaceful.

Earl Watson looked at Zhang Xin with admiration to give psychological counseling and encourage his teammates. Earl Watson helped his teammates relieve the psychological burden when he saw Zhang Xin saying a few words, no matter whether he lost or won today's game, The young people have already been trained to let them feel the atmosphere of the playoffs in advance, which is a very important game experience.

Even though the teammates of the struggle between Zhang Xin and Ryan McDonough did not know the details, it was a real thing that Ryan McDonough was kicked out of the team, which made the teammates feel awe of Zhang Xin, especially the old players. They knew that the owner of the team trusted Ryan McDonough very much. They didn't expect that even Ryan McDonough was kicked out of the team by Zhang Xin, so the fate of other players was not a matter of Zhang Xin's word.

The so-called Liwei is to find an early bird, chop off his head and show it to other birds, so that other birds will become honest. Zhang Xin has been in the sun for so long, and he has always led his teammates by example. Going forward, there is nothing to stand up for, because he doesn't think it is necessary, and most of his teammates admire him, but it is hard to talk about fear. After such an accident, he made up for this lesson, and It can be regarded as unintentional.
