new lord of the rings

Chapter 435 Difficult!

Zhang Xin took a small step to the left, and put his raised left hand directly on it, covering the basketball that Durant had just shot, and slapped the ball forward!
Zhang Xin bypassed Durant and scooped up the ball directly. There was already a flat surface in front of him, and Zhang Xin dunked successfully!

As soon as Zhang Xin came back, he narrowed the difference to 1 point!
The cheers of the home fans jumped up again.

Coach Earl Watson folded his arms and sat back on the chair with a smile. He finally understood why Phil Jackson was called the Zen Master. He coached super players. When the team was in adversity, super players would naturally come out. Aftermath, Earl Watson now enjoys this treatment.

Durant naturally did not want to show weakness. He had been suppressed by Zhang Xin for several years. Even a clay figurine was angry, not to mention Death God Du?

Durant is constantly looking for misalignment and resolutely attacks, but he is determined not to match up with Zhang Xin. This cannot be said that he is cowardly, but a very wise choice. Anything for the purpose of winning is unsportsmanlike.

It can be seen that Durant has matured a lot. Failure always makes people learn to grow. Zhang Xin has made many people mature in recent years.

Durant wants to prove himself, and Gibson wants to prove himself even more. Now that he has come up, Zhang Xin cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants. Every time Zhang Xin does whatever he wants, it is a blow to himself. Gibson knows this very well. Just looking at Gibson can give you a glimpse of how hard the players in the contract year will work.

Gibson's defense is top-notch, his footwork, body, and awareness are top-notch, and now there are enough reasons to go all out. Gibson runs like a young rookie, trying to keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps.

To a certain extent, defense really depends on enthusiasm. With active defense, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad, let alone Gibson's talent is enough, so Zhang Xin, as the main attack point, wants to run out of open opportunities It's really not easy.

If Zhang Xin were Klay Thompson, maybe he would really be blocked, but Zhang Xin is not Thompson. It's ranked in Phoenix, and this beauty is still a wealthy family, and she is still a top student, so the choices she can make are even richer.

What Zhang Xin actually does is also simple. First go for a walk on the inside to disrupt the Thunder's defensive formation, and then rush out of the three-point line. Then a posturing shot can also shake Gibson's center of gravity, and then break through to the inside. If there is a flank, he will split the ball, and if there is no flank, he will go straight to Huanglong and attack the basket.

Zhang Xin's style of play was simple and clear, but Gibson just couldn't guard against it.

Top off-the-ball players are hard to come by, such as Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, and Reggie Miller;

Top ball handlers are also hard to come by, such as LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Dwyane Wade;

It is even rarer to combine top-level off-the-ball running positions with top-level possession, such as Zhang Xin, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant.

Gibson deeply understood why Robertson was reduced to seeing a psychiatrist after defending Zhang Xin, because he really doubted life!

Preventing Zhang Xin without the ball, he will break through with the ball in the next moment;

Defending Zhang Xin holding the ball, the next moment he started running without the ball again;

Every time Zhang Xin touches the ball, it puts a lot of pressure on the defenders. He may shoot or pass. Whether it is a shot or a pass, it will be like a sharp knife piercing the Thunder's weakness, not only painful Difficult, and possibly bleeding profusely.

Gibson has never seen a player whose technical movements are condensed to such a degree. Almost every movement can be analyzed in detail. A foot probing, a shoulder shaking, and a look in the eyes all have meaning in his existence. This is a basketball technique. The master of the game!Gibson secretly praised in his heart.

Zhang Xin's excellent performance made Gibson's efforts worthless, oh, it can't be said to be worthless, at least it consumed Zhang Xin's physical strength and reduced Robertson's damage, but the Thunder's lagging behind was inevitable. In the second quarter At the end, the Thunder trailed by 8 points. In half a quarter, Zhang Xin led the team to a 26:12 climax!
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 62:70, and the Suns led by 8 points.

Zhang Xin scored 28 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds in the half, a data close to a triple-double.

"Awesome! Teacher Yang, do you think which year's finals I remembered?" Wang Meng asked.

"Ha, it's really hard to guess, but if you ask me to guess, let me just say, it's about the 2011 finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang, who knows me, I just remembered the game of that year. Nowitzki was really good that year! The coach of the Thunder at the time was still Coach Brooks. In order to deal with Nowitzki, Coach Brooks really worked hard. Thinking!" Wang Meng said.

"Yeah, Ibaka defended Nowitzki, he couldn't prevent the shot, and he couldn't keep up with the pace. Well, since he can't keep up, let's use the intensity. Coach Brooks played the tough guy Collison. It's embarrassing to fight inside, but you can't gain an advantage in strength, and you can't keep up with your pace." Yang Yi laughed.

"Hey, the defensive titan and the muscular man were both stunned. Who should I change to defend? Let's change to the shooting guard. Maybe the super giant has a heavy taste and likes to be eaten to death by alternative matchups. As a result, the head coach Brooks found out that this is completely wishful thinking. Fantasy. Dirk tiptoed to shoot, and Lovesousa couldn't cover it!" Wang Meng and Yang Yi talked excitedly, and each of them followed each other, like a cross talk.

"Well, since it doesn't work, let's find Durant who has both speed and height to try, maybe it can do some miracles, isn't it, hey, Durant immediately offered two fouls, what's the matter Do it!" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Yeah, what to do! This is the problem facing Coach Donovan today, what can we do about it! This Zhang Xin, the defensive leader Robertson can't defend, and the defensive giant Ibaka can't defend, I want to try The little Oladipo was directly blown away, and Gibson seemed to have some effect just now, but it was just Zhang Xin maintaining his strength, and when Zhang Xin exerted his strength, Coach Donovan was dumbfounded again! What can we do!" Wang Meng joked.

"Mr. Yang, if you were the Thunder's coach, what would you do?" Wang Meng asked an interesting question.

Yang Yi thought for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly: "There is no good way, of course there is a way to restrict Zhang Xin, but the risk is too great!"

"Jordan's Law?" Wang Meng guessed.

"That's it! This is the only way to defeat the Suns. Otherwise, even if everyone in the Suns is protected, once Zhang Xin breaks out, he will still be able to take the game alone!" Yang Yi said.

"It's difficult! If you block Zhang Xin, you will inevitably be blown up by the other Suns. The Suns are not a weak team. Their conduction ball is already at a first-class level. Once the Thunder puts all their attention on Zhang Xin, the Suns will With other people's abilities, Lei Ting may lose even worse!" Wang Meng said.

"But it's also possible that he didn't perform well?" Yang Yi said abruptly.
