Chapter 410 See All Stars Again

Yang Yi guessed right, Popovich immediately took a chance to replace Aldridge, and the final started early.

Aldridge rested for 2 minutes and regained some of his physical strength. As soon as he came back, he hit two mid-range shots. Zhang Xin immediately responded:

Rondo dribbled the ball for half court, Zhang Xin received the ball at the top of the arc, Tyson Chandler went to the high pick-and-roll, blocked Leonard and rolled down, Leonard did not follow the roll, but bypassed Chandler Le, flanked Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin took a step back to open up the space, and returned the ball to Chandler who was running down. He chose to play by himself, and gave the ball to Zhang Xin who blocked the gap. Zhang Xin just opened his hand and made a three-pointer!
The score was stretched to 5 points!
Zhang Xin played like Stephen Curry, picking and rolling the pass and then running to find the pick and roll to catch the ball. Even an experienced defensive player like Leonard can hardly keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps.

Popovich frowns, Zhang Xin's attack range is too large, and the attack range covers every corner of the half court. As long as there is a little space, he can shoot. It is a collection of Kevin Durant, Players with the advantages of Stephen Curry and LeBron James, Leonard spread his hands: How to defend?
Leonard held the ball at the top of the arc and called Aldridge for a high pick-and-roll. Aldridge blocked Zhang Xin and then went down to the free throw line, attracting Zhang Xin's defense. Leonard faced Tyson Chandler and made a small play Great, Leonard used a large lateral movement to transport his back to the basket and made a successful throw.

Cut the score to three points.

Gasol quickly served the ball to Rondo, Zhang Xin and Devin Booker quickly played, Rondo didn't stick the ball, and gave the ball to Zhang Xin after a few dribbles, Zhang Xin dribbled under Leonard's defense Break into the basket, turn around and pass the ball to Devin Booker who followed up to the three-point line. Booker received the ball regardless and shot. Now Devin Booker is playing very similarly to Klay Thompson. There is no need to think about three-pointers at all, just catch the ball and shoot. The orange basketball seems to be equipped with a sight, piercing the center of the basket, and the friction between the ball and the net makes a wonderful sound.

The fans cheered happily.

Devin Booker is a young man with fair skin. As long as he does strenuous exercise, his whole face will turn red. If he is not physically fit, he is more likely to be regarded as a bad boy. Today he has scored four three-pointers Very proactive, Zhang Xin expressed his satisfaction with his performance.

"These young people in the Suns are too good. Almost everyone has a three-pointer. In Phoenix's current system, if you have an accurate three-pointer and a reliable defense, you can enter the rotation, and you can get a chance. With Zhang Xin, Rondo and Pau Gasol as three pass supporters, they don't need to worry about not having a chance to make a shot." Wang Meng said.

"When you know what you need to do on the court, and you know that if you do it well, the team will benefit from it, and you will benefit from it, and you will do it very well. Obviously, the young people of the Suns know that they are in the game. What to do, their discipline is getting stronger and stronger, and they are playing more and more confidently. This should have something to do with Zhang Xin's leadership. Zhang Xin's consistent style is that he will shoot the ball without hesitation. Advancement is a matter of touch, but those who dare not make shots or take responsibility will not get a chance to play, so the players who play with Zhang Xin have always been very confident." Yang Yi said.

This is what Zhang Xin has always wanted. Only when all the people give full play to their energy can they be a real strong team. In such a cruel place in the west, they must be really strong to have a foothold. That day is not far away, and now halfway through the schedule, the team's run-in has basically taken shape, and the results that should be played have been played, and the teams that should compete for the top pick are already in a bad position. However, the schedule will suddenly speed up, heading towards the playoffs quickly.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Suns played particularly active young people. With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score had already been stretched to 15 points. Xin, Devin Booker, Batty Hield, and Bro Gordon teamed up to rain three-pointers. The three-pointer was one point more than the two-pointer. In this way, the score was gradually opened. Popovich called a timeout and took advantage of the dead ball to adjust the personnel, but the general trend had come. Popovich could only hold his chin with his hand and watch the game run in an uncontrollable direction.

The final game score was 121:137. The Suns beat the Spurs by 16 points and scored 137 points frantically!
Zhang Xin scored 48 points, 18 assists and 11 rebounds in this game, making headlines again, while Leonard, who was facing up, only scored 25 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds. Got crushed.

Western starters: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Zhang Xin, Anthony Davis;
West bench: Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Gordon Hayward, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol;

Pau Gasol joined forces with Zhang Xin in Phoenix, rejuvenated and played All-Star statistics, and with the help of Chinese fans to vote, Pau Gasol also got the opportunity to enter the bench.

Rajon Rondo, Devin Booker and others were voted by fans, and there were quite a few, but there are too many backcourt superstars in the Western Conference, including Stephen Curry and James Harden.Even Westbrook can only be wronged as a substitute, one can imagine how fierce the competition is.
