new lord of the rings

Chapter 408 Layout
The score between the two sides was 61:69 in the first half, and Phoenix led by 8 points into the second half.

Popovich lashes out in the locker room:

"Kawhi (Leonard), defend the damn Zhang Xin, don't let your teammates help you defend, as long as you can limit him, others have no ability to break our defense;
LaMarcus, put the damn basketball in the hoop, this is what you have to do, entangle Gasol, don't let him easily help others pick and roll;
Danny, it doesn't matter how many three-pointers you missed today, just keep shooting until the end of the game, and shoot when there is an open spot;

Jahril, I ask of you, give me every damn basketball;

Tony, you are a veteran, you should know what to do, just do it, I believe in your choice. When the instructions arrived at Parker, Popovich suddenly softened his face, as if thinking of someone.

Zhang Xin is encouraging his teammates:
"Devin, today's shooting is very firm, very good, your work is very successful, and the second half must be like this;

Eric, your quick shots are very threatening, keep at it, be more determined when shooting three-pointers, don’t always feel that your three-pointers are not stable enough, just shoot, what is the shooting principle in our team? "

"It's basketball's business to shoot the ball that should be shot. After all, basketball has its own ideas." Bledsoe said solemnly, but not only was he not serious in his heart, he even wanted to laugh a little. God knows this sentence who figured it out.

Zhang Xin nodded in satisfaction. Of course, the words were given by the system, and the words were not serious, but the reasoning was the same. If there is a vacancy, you should vote, but whether you can get in or not is another matter.

Zhang Xin clapped his hands: "Buddy, your hands are too hot today, what should you know to do in the second half?"

Batty Hilde replied dumbly: "Oh, should I perform fried eggs with the palm of my hand?"

The atmosphere in the locker room was even happier. Rajon Rondo laughed so hard that he almost hung on Pau Gasol, and everyone else laughed too.
Zhang Xin almost slapped Batty Hield to the ground: "Fuck you big head, you should shoot, shoot three-pointers, shoot when you get it, understand?!"

Buttihild touched his head that was hurt by Zhang Xin, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm just joking, and watch me in the second half." Of course Buttihild is not stupid, he is just talking to the team boss It was just to establish a good relationship, show off cuteness, and liven up the team atmosphere. Zhang Xin patted him on the head lightly with a good temper and a sense of humor.

"Tuck, you are a mature old man, do you know what you should do?" Zhang Xin turned to look at PJ Tucker with his big nostrils.

Tucker grinned: "Of course resisting people, grabbing the board, and making three-pointers, it's a very simple task."

Zhang Xin laughed: "It's not easy. Jahril is not reused in the 76ers, but it doesn't mean that his ability is not good. It's just that his tactical status has declined. Popovich is a master at training players. His men, Jahril Okafor has been resurrected, get him stuck and grab the rebound."

Tucker's nostrils became much bigger: "Don't worry, look at mine."

Seeing Rajon Rondo, Zhang Xin couldn't help laughing: "Coach Rondo, is there anything you need to add?"

Rajon Rondo's eyes widened: "Don't talk nonsense, Coach Watson will hear it soon!" Rondo said loudly, as if Earl Watson was not in the locker room, sitting Earl Watson next to him punched Rondo, and the locker room burst into laughter.

The second half begins.

The Spurs are on the starting lineup: Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, Jahril Okafor, LaMarcus Aldridge and Danny Green.

The Suns are still on the starting lineup: Zhang Xin, Rajon Rondo, Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol and Devin Booker.

Sun ball right.

Rondo dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and Zhang Xin landed at a 45-degree angle. Pau Gasol went up to the top of the arc to catch the ball. One side ran along the three-point line to the top of the arc, and Leonard, who blocked and defended around Gasol, blocked a little space. Zhang Xin retreated and used Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll three-point shot , The orange basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air and fell straight into the basket!

Huge cheers erupted from the Holiday Inn Talking Stick Arena.

"Awesome! Zhang Xin's three-point retreat is a perfect fit. Relying on the little space created by Gasol's hand-to-hand, he made a three-pointer with a single retreat, and it went in. Zhang Xin and Stephen Curry's style of play is too similar, and their shooting speed is not inferior, and what's even more frightening is that at the same speed, the hit rate is horribly high!" Wang Meng was about to kneel.

Zhang Xin's three-point talent is already very high. After adding Klay Thompson's skill package, he can shoot as he pleases.

Popovich's face was stinky, but he also knew that this was not Leonard's problem, but that Zhang Xin was too strong. Popovich would rather deal with the Golden State Warriors than head-to-head with Zhang Xin. Faith is too powerful.

The Spurs are unambiguous in terms of offense. There are many players in the starting lineup. They can go so far this season, which is not unrelated to the strength of their starting lineup. Leonard's maturity is the driving force of the Spurs.

The two sides seemed to be back in the second quarter, and no one could guard the other. Of course, the Spurs had no way to close the score. In the second half, Zhang Xin was off the court. The Spurs saw the opportunity and played a game at the end of the third quarter. Wave 10:2 small climax, evened the score into the fourth quarter.

Zhang Xin is not in a hurry. He can see that the Spurs' starting lineup is exhausted, especially Aldridge, who dragged a weight of 120kg on the court for nearly three quarters. Under this intensity, even Leonard, who is like a robot, sweats. He was out of breath, not to mention Aldridge is such a big insider.

Zhang Xin was not careless. He rested for half a quarter in the third quarter, watched the Spurs tie the score but remained indifferent, just to beat the exhausted San Antonio Spurs in the fourth quarter.

Zhang Xin has been laying out the layout from the very beginning, forcing Popovich into his trap step by step. This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. He will lead you upright, use the rotation lineup to fight with your main force, or you choose to lose More points, or you use the main force to maintain the score.

Popovich is a scheming coach, and he can't see Zhang Xin's methods, but the weak rotation of the Spurs who has been poached by the corner cannot be made up for by the coach's savvy. You can't mention the players to play on the field!
