new lord of the rings

Chapter 418
After all, Hood's resistance was just a small wave in the long river. In the face of the monstrous waves set off by Zhang Xin, Hood was sucked into the torrent and disappeared, and even Jazz Utah was sucked into the bottom of the river.

In this campaign, Zhang Xin scored 62 points, 12 assists and 14 rebounds, and the 60+ triple-double shocked Gu Shuojin!

Zhang Xin detonated a big bomb in the first game of the playoffs, making the league's eyes turn to Phoenix, but this is just the beginning!
In the second game, the Jazz's resistance was even more intense. Although the young people in Phoenix were considered outstanding, but the Jazz's overall outbreak of the sun was clumsy. In the end, Zhang Xin had to stand up. Zhang Xin scored 54 points in this campaign. A triple-double with 11 assists and 11 rebounds shocked the league again!

The 0:2 Utah Jazz is almost on the edge of the cliff. If they lose another game at home, it is basically certain that they will miss the next round.

On April 2017, 4, the Phoenix Suns challenged the Jazz at the home court of the Utah Jazz. After losing two games in a row, the Jazz vowed at home to beat Phoenix and bring the game back to the starting point.

In addition to establishing the determination to win, the Jazz also made some outside moves.

The location of the Jazz is already remote. The players of the Suns set off from Phoenix and only need to travel for several hours to reach Utah. Even the seemingly easy flight journey will have a big impact on the players. Tall For most basketball players, because the spine is in one posture for a long time, the pressure on the joints will increase, which will make the soft tissues on both sides of the spine compressed and tense. Once the muscles are tense, the players will feel sore after hours of jolting. .

In addition, although the person is in a relatively static state during the flight, the vestibular nerve receptors in the inner ear responsible for balance and hearing will continuously send out stimulating signals, causing the cerebral cortex to be overexcited, which will invisibly cause players to feel fatigued.

The location of the hotel is even more interesting. The hotel where the Jazz arranged for the Suns is located in the outskirts of the city far away from the energy solution center.

Although the hotel is of good grade, due to the distance limitation, this means that the Suns players need to drag their tired bodies, get up early the next day, and take the bus to the Energy Solution Center Arena for physical recovery training and shooting training.

For the coach Quinn Schneider who is playing at home, he is still full of confidence, at least when facing reporters, he said:
"We beat them at home this season. This is the playoffs. With home court advantage, we have a [-]% chance of winning. Our strengths are about the same. Whoever has the advantage at home is our loss. In the two games at home, we will bring the game back to the original point."

When the reporter passed the words to Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin laughed and said:

"Some people think that the home game is to drag tigers into the water to fight crocodiles, push whales to the shore, and put elephants in cages, but in reality?
It's still a 94-foot by 50-foot basketball court:

The basket is 10 feet from the ground and has a three-second zone that is 19 feet long and 16 feet wide;

The distance from the three-point line is 23 feet 9 inches, which is like a free throw distance for me;

The radius of the circle inside the center circle is 2 feet, and this is where I shot the ball;

The reasonable collision zone under the basket is centered on the projection of the center of the basket, a semicircle with a radius of 4 feet, and no one can stop me here;
The free throw line is 5.4 meters from the basket, and I can jump and dunk here.

So, some distractions (fans), some design flaws (the Energy Solutions Center arena is designed like a deep well), some geographical advantages (the lack of oxygen in the plateau), can't stop me from doing something. "

Zhang Xinxin got some data at his fingertips, talked about it with confidence, but not arrogant, and the momentum of No.1 in the league rushed to his face.

This is actually a psychological tactic. Quinn Schneider needs to inspire the confidence of the disciples, and Zhang Xin needs to encourage the young people. The away game for the first playoffs is a test for the young people. It's a playoff game of hell.

He needs young people to let go of the burden in their hearts and fight boldly, so he would rather take all the responsibilities on himself, and let the young people fight without any psychological burden. Anyway, he himself is used to carrying the team forward, young people To learn to grow, you will take the initiative to take responsibility, some people will stand up, some people need to survive under the wings, Zhang Xin can tolerate it, and those who should stand up will naturally stand up.

game day.

The energy solution center was full of people, and the energy solution center was full of people. The clear blue and white water made the whole arena look like an ocean. The fans chanted from the very beginning, cheering for the home team and creating disturbance for the visiting team.

During the boring jazz music, the Jazz fans began to mock the Phoenix players, and some fans even shouted at Zhang Xin: "You rich second generation, you should go home and inherit the family property, this is not suitable for you!"

Zhang Xin smiled, being rich is certainly not something to be ashamed of, he doesn't take it seriously at all.

But the fans were not so polite to other people. They called Bledsoe and Devin Booker what kind of cousins ​​they had, had super-friendly contact with their immediate family members, and swear words. Yes, Bledsoe is considered a long battle, but he doesn't care much, but young people such as Devin Booker and Bro Gordon have ugly faces and flushed necks.

Seeing that they were funny, Zhang Xin patted them on the shoulder and gathered everyone into a circle. Zhang Xin said loudly: "Respond to these bastards with actions, and don't need to think about the rest!"

"Yes! Boss!" Everyone shouted.

Game start.

The Jazz did not change the starting lineup, and they still played with Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles, George Hill, and Boris Dior.

So did the Suns, sending Zhang Xin, Pau Gasol, Rajon Rondo, Devin Booker, and Tyson Chandler.

After two games, the two sides have a better understanding of each other's situation. There is no need to test at all when they first come up. The first quarter is the hardest for the Suns. They need to let their bodies overcome the plateau's rejection of distant guests.

Zhang Xin said it confidently, but it is still so difficult for such young people to face all these things. Even after the veterans gave them training and psychological training a month ago, they really fell into this kind of situation. When they are in the environment, they still panic, still hesitate, and still make many low-level mistakes, but this is young people.
