new lord of the rings

Chapter 445 Goodbye Jianghu is already an opponent!

Zhang Xin calculated in many ways and turned a small victory into a big victory. Even though Coach Donovan made many adjustments, he couldn't turn the situation back. Watching the Thunder slide into the abyss, the Thunder fans roared, cursed, lamented, encouraged, Roaring helplessly was of no avail. At the end of the game, the two leaders, Westbrook and Durant, were in a daze.

Westbrook's eye sockets gradually became moist and red. Who said that men don't shed tears, but they didn't reach the point of sadness. The Thunder are already 0:3 behind. No team has ever come back from 0:3. What's more, facing the team led by Zhang Xin, it can be said that this year's Thunder can only stop in the second round. Since Zhang Xin entered the league, every time the Thunder met Zhang Xin, it ended like this.

There are already such rumors in Jianghu:

James is the terminator in the Eastern Conference. Over the years, the teams in the Eastern Conference have to pass James if they want to break out of the East, while Zhang Xin is the finisher in the West. If they want to break out of the West, they must pass Zhang Xin.

Durant hugged Westbrook in the past. Years of working together has turned them from colleagues into brothers. How deep the relationship is, how painful it is to break up. When Durant left the Thunder to join the Warriors in the previous life, Westbrook The responses confirmed this.

Durant's eyes are full of confusion and pain. He doesn't quite understand why the Thunder are so powerful and why they can't beat the Suns, a team that has just formed an army. No matter which position is used, they are not inferior to the Suns. I know the importance of the team, but even so, the Thunder has strict discipline from top to bottom. With Coach Donovan's order, the soldiers under his command put their lives into battle. From the perspective of the team, they are no worse than the Suns. The winner, after so many years of running-in!

Could it be that our tactical characteristics have an upper limit?Durant became suspicious.

Zhang Xin played pass-and-cut tactics in the Warriors. Every time the Thunder met the Warriors, they were swept away, but that may only be because the Warriors are too strong. Today's Suns also use a pass-and-cut system. The Suns were not strong in the first place. With the addition of Zhang Xin and two veterans, they were able to defeat such a powerful Thunder. Why?
Durant circled around in his mind for a few times, and the only explanation was: Thunder's tactics are flawed!
Durant finally had the idea of ​​leaving.

The Suns, who lost three times to the Thunder, finally caught the eye: The Suns are a super team!
Not only is it a strong team at the same level as the Thunder, Warriors, Cavaliers, etc., but it is also a super strong team that can lead the Thunder 3:0!
If they can sweep the Thunder, it means that they are not a team of the same level at all, but an even better team!

This is incredible!

Zhang Xin arrived in the Suns in just one season, and brought the Suns from the bottom of the league to the Western Conference Finals in just one season. What kind of ability is this?
what does this mean?
This means that no matter which team Zhang Xin goes to, which team will instantly become a contender for the championship, but it is normal to think about it. LeBron James, who was snatched by Zhang Xin as No. 1 in the league, has such ability, then It is normal for Zhang Xin, who is even more powerful, to have this ability!

But the problem is: every time James goes to a team, he will recruit and buy horses on a large scale like a blood exchange. There is no such situation as Zhang Xin quietly relying on the original team to hit the championship.

From this aspect, Zhang Xin Alliance No. 1 deserves its name.

The fourth game of the Sun Thunder, which has attracted a lot of attention, started as scheduled. The Thunder, which is still in a desperate situation, is fighting hard. Even if they lose the series, they cannot be swept away. Already on this side of the sun.

The sun with Zhang Xin is not only violent, but also the most tenacious. No matter how the thunder strikes, the sun will not move. If you hit yours and I hit mine, I can’t defend you, so let you I can't help but I'll be fine.

In the end, it all depends on who has accumulated more chips. With a 3:0 advantage in hand, the Suns played smoothly and controlled the rhythm. No matter how violent the Thunder was, it was all under Zhang Xin's control.

In the fourth game, Zhang Xin scored a triple-double with 64 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. He almost suppressed the violent Thunder by himself.

The Phoenix Suns swept the tyrannical Oklahoma City Thunder 4:0 and took the lead in approaching the Western Conference finals. They are waiting for the battle between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors. The Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs are now 2:2. Zhang Xin's Warriors seemed to be lacking in dominance in the playoffs. They played against the Grizzlies for a tiebreaker, and now they are evenly matched against the San Antonio Spurs.

Sure enough, six games were played, the score of the two sides was 3:3, and they entered the tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, Zaza Pachulia crippled Leonard, and the Spurs lost the tiebreaker. After the game, Popovich angrily denounced the Golden State Warriors for their despicable behavior. Zaza Pachulia is not worthy of being a basketball player, but if you lose, you lose. The Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
Zhang Xin is about to meet his former owner, the Golden State Warriors, in the Western Conference Finals!

This makes people feel how powerful the previous Warriors were. Zhang Xin left and led a team at the bottom of the league to still sweep the powerful Utah Jazz and the super-powerful Thunder and advance to the Western Conference finals. Although the Warriors without Zhang Xin are faltering , but defeated the hard-headed Grizzlies in consecutive tiebreakers, and the old and imminent San Antonio Spurs approached the Western Conference finals, which also showed the strong strength of the Golden State Warriors.

Only the Golden State Warriors with Zhang Xin may be the strongest team in NBA history. Many media asserted, and of course many media said that the Bulls with 72 wins are the strongest. This kind of drama of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong has never It's hard to come to a unified conclusion, but Zhang Xin's strength is recognized by the world!
Although LeBron James lost the No.1 position in the league, his dominance in the Eastern Conference remains undiminished:

The Indiana Pacers led by Paul George were swept 4:0 in the first round;
The Toronto Raptors led by Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were swept 4:0 in the second round.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Celtics meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Compared with the East, the encounter between the Warriors and the Suns in the West is more eye-catching, because the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Suns led by Zhang Xin is more story-telling: the comrades who fought side by side in the past are now their own masters. Entering the finals of the highest stage, the former comrades-in-arms will face each other with swords!
Facing the Golden State Warriors, Zhang Xin's heart is not easy. Of course, it is not because of the media hype about friends turning into enemies, but because the Warriors are still very strong. Although the Thunder is strong enough, this The Warriors are a stronger team, Zhang Xin was once a member of this team, he knows this better than anyone else!
