Chapter 403 Double kill Owen!

The second quarter begins.

The Cleveland Cavaliers sent Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, DeAndre Liggins, Richard Jefferson, and Channing Frye.

The Phoenix Suns sent Zhang Xin, Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon, Batty Hield, PJ Tucker.

The Cavaliers had the ball. When Irving led the team alone, the ball finally came into his hands. Irving was very excited, because the opponent was No. 1 Zhang Xin in the league. Irving is a very competitive player. He dared to challenge when he just entered the NBA. Kobe, although facing Kobe at the end of his peak, he did not end well, but it is a great thing to dare to challenge the strong.

Owen held the ball in his hand and motioned for Channing Frye to come up for a high pick-and-roll. Channing Frye did not hesitate, even though he was accompanied by Zhang Xin. There is nothing wrong with young people being confident, and it is not Channing Frye who is humiliated. The problem is that Frye went up to block Bledsoe, but Bledsoe followed Channing Frye down without entanglement, and it was Zhang Xin who switched defenses, so there was nothing to worry about.

Zhang Xin’s mentality is as usual. Since he entered the NBA, he has encountered many challenges. Some want to teach a rookie a lesson, some are jealous of his good looks, and after Zhang Xin becomes famous, some newcomers want to challenge Zhang Xin to make a name for himself. There are those who want to prove themselves by defeating Zhang Xin. After becoming No.1 in the alliance, those who want to challenge him are more like a crucian carp. After all, this alliance has a lot of people who are motivated.

Zhang Xin lowered his weight and paid attention to Owen's dynamics. He raised one hand to prevent Owen from shooting at any time, and moved his center of gravity forward to keep up with Owen's footsteps. Owen is the top player in the league. Stephen Curry is at the same level. We can criticize Irving for his poor overall view, poor passing, and poor leadership skills, but we must not criticize his poor breakthrough. between.

Zhang Xin is actually at a disadvantage defending against a small man like Owen. Zhang Xin is 206cm tall and weighs 110KG. Owen is 191cm tall and weighs 87kg. The height difference is close to 15cm and the weight difference is 23kg. There is a high probability that the breakthrough player will be a professional player who goes from small to large, and Owen happens to be one.

Owen lowered his waist and used a fast-paced, low-center-of-gravity dribble to keep shaking his crotch, trying to confuse Zhang Xin's judgment. Zhang Xin was as immobile as a mountain, with his hands raised high, and the overall center of gravity was lowered. Owen suddenly broke through to his left hand, halfway through. Turned around after dribbling the ball with his left hand, leaning on Zhang Xin to turn around as quickly as a spinning top, and switched to his right hand to control the ball and make a breakthrough to the right. It was still a fake move: Owen pressed down halfway and retracted the ball, and the ball bounced between his feet. A perfect combo combo, the front of the body changed to the left, a series of gorgeous and sharp moves, but Zhang Xin kept up!
Zhang Xin's weight is relatively heavy, but this is within the range that his body can bear. His footsteps are strong enough for him to bear the inertia brought by his body. It is unrealistic for Owen to use Zhang Xin's weight to make a fuss. He is a great player. , must be a player who can perfectly control his body. Zhang Xin can control his body, and his defensive strategy is also based on defensive breakthroughs. His height is a disadvantage, but it is also an advantage. His raised hand can interfere with Owen's shooting to a large extent. The shock of height, so as long as the defense is good and the breakthrough is fine.

The most difficult opponent to defend against is an opponent who combines sudden shooting and passing. Irving obviously wants to challenge him, so it is impossible to pass the ball. The height of shooting can be a deterrent. It is much easier when you only need to defend the same. Zhang Xin only needs to judge the direction of Irving's breakthrough and keep in front of him at any time to control him. Of course, the reason why many tall men are afraid of Irving like a tiger is that they can't defend like Zhang Xin. Even if they know that Irving doesn't shoot Under the circumstances, they can't keep up with their footsteps.

This combo was already done by Owen with all his strength. To deal with the rest of the big men, there is no need to use such a large amount of physical strength. It may be passed in one crotch. Owen's forward change did not work, and he went straight to Zhang Xin. In the arms of Zhang Xin, Owen wanted to step back and open the distance to break through again, but Zhang Xin didn't give him a chance. Owen retreated and he went in. He didn't give space to break through again. Owen held Zhang Xin with his left hand, and retreated with his right. Bu wanted to open the space for a jumper, but Zhang Xin directly covered it with his raised hand, and slapped the ball hard out of the court!
The fans let out earth-shattering exclamations. This ball Irving attacked very gorgeously. A series of turns and changes in front of the body were gorgeous and sharp. Not to mention the 206cm Zhang Xin, even a guard who is about the same height as Irving may not be able to compete with him. He deserves it, but in front of Zhang Xin, he can only be hated!

A series of descriptions are complicated and long-winded, but the actual offense and defense are instant. Owen was hated by Zhang Xin, and his dark face was a little red, but Zhang Xin didn't care at all. People who are good at challenges must be good at adjusting their psychology. State, otherwise he would have committed suicide in shame. The challenge is to challenge the strong with the weak. Since the strong is challenged with the weak, most of the failures are taken for granted, so such people often have stronger psychological adjustment ability.

The Cavaliers took the ball out of bounds, Owen took too much time to attack, and there was only one second left in the attack time. Irving could only catch the ball and shoot. The shot was too hasty and he made a three-point shot.

Phoenix served from the sideline, and Bledsoe dribbled steadily across the half. Bledsoe became more and more mature. After halftime, Bledsoe handed the ball to Zhang Xin, and gave Zhang Xin a special defense on the spot. In the pick-and-roll, Owen was switched to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin smiled helplessly at Bledsoe. Of course he knew that Bledsoe wanted him to teach Owen a lesson.

Forget it, anyway, it was Owen who took the initiative to provoke, so teaching him a lesson is also in line with the process.

Because of his short height, Owen wanted to get into Zhang Xin's arms and take out Zhang Xin's ball. Zhang Xin has always been good at dribbling, and his center of gravity is low enough. As soon as Owen rushed over, Zhang Xin dribbled behind Owen's Pressed, and took a step forward to leave Irving behind. The moment he passed Owen, he dribbled the ball to the front of his body, blocked Owen's ball from behind with his generous body, and used his body to feel Owen's position, so as not to let him go around. Before, Thompson under the basket was near the bottom corner of Tucker, and Frye was above the elbow to guard Bledsoe. The basket was already empty, Zhang Xin dribbled the ball and dunked with a step!
Double kill Owen!

With one defense and one attack, Zhang Xin has the absolute upper hand.

The fans once again roared loudly. This kind of drama is so beautiful. A rising star challenges the number one in the league and is severely slapped in the face. This kind of drama has been enjoyed by audiences in any era, but they never thought about it. Zhang Xin's He is actually younger than Owen!
