Chapter 447 Confrontation!

The game has reached a climax from the very beginning, both sides are team-based with very similar tactics:
The Warriors use Green as the core of offense and defense. On offense, Green distributes the ball. As a transfer point for the ball, he constantly plays for Curry and Thompson. On defense, Green acts as a sweeper, constantly checking for the Warriors. The Warriors play well. Pass and cut tactics;
Phoenix, on the other hand, uses Gasol as the core link. Although Rondo and Zhang Xin are the most able to pass the ball, the core of the actual operation is Gasol. Zhang Xin and Devin Booker run without the ball and defend. At that time, Zhang Xin, as a defensive sweeper, filled in for the Suns.

The tactics of the two teams are similar, the same complicated and gorgeous, and the same difficult to be defended, so it has become a confrontation battle from the very beginning!
In the case of similar tactics, the difference is the execution level of the tactics. Obviously, the Warriors' tactical level is higher. After all, this is a tactic they have honed for three or four years. For the Suns, this is just At the beginning, the gap was not widened all at once, but the Warriors quietly opened up the gap with subtle means. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 8 points!
Of course, this point difference is not too big for both sides. After all, they are all three-point teams, and just a few three-pointers can bring the score back.

Steve Kerr was not proud of the temporary lead, and Zhang Xin didn't think it was a good sign either.

For Cole, the current Zhang Xin is just running step by step and scoring casually. This is not the strongest Zhang Xin, and certainly not the strongest Sun. Leading at this time does not mean anything... Oh, No, it can still explain one point, that is, the Suns' tactical execution level is worse than that of the Warriors.

For Zhang Xin, this is not good news. It is conceivable that the Suns' tactics are more immature than the Warriors, but the gap is bigger than Zhang Xin imagined. No fear, the playoffs, the superstars will solve the problem in the end.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both the Warriors and the Suns were on the rotation lineup. The Warriors let Thompson lead the team, and Klay Thompson led Livingston, Iguodala, David West and Green on the court;
The Suns let Rondo Rondo lead the team, and Rondo brought Hilde, Tucker, Chandler and Bro Gordon on the court.

When the rotation lineup is on the court, the Suns have some advantages. With Rondo leading the team to sort out the offense, and with three shooters on the court, the one-star four-shooting tactic is very smooth, and the lack of the team after Zhang Xin For the Warriors, the offense of the rotation has become constipated again. The defense has done well, but the offense has stagnated.

After playing for about half a quarter, Cole made two adjustments. There was no way. In a few minutes, the Suns not only equalized the score, but also overtook it by a few points. The Suns hit a 20:8 climax, and Thompson was locked by Bro Gordon Die, it's hard to run out of space.

Green and Iguodala are out of space. Although these two are very important to the team, they will also fail to make a three-pointer after being out of space. In the past few minutes, Iguodala and Green have been boldly emptied , the two each shot twice and then never shot again, which made the sun more confident and bold to attack.

Cole quickly changed the starting lineup, and Zhang Xin also took the opportunity to come back. After Zhang Xin came back, he didn't do everything. He still focused on off-ball running, covering off the ball and making cuts for his teammates, although he also scored a lot of points. , but finished the second quarter in a nonchalant manner. In this half of the quarter, the Warriors won a few points and evened the score.

During the intermission, Tencent commentators Wang Meng, Yang Yi and Ma Jian began to discuss.

"Teacher Yang and Teacher Ma, I see that Sun and the Warriors seem to be having a lively fight today, but I always feel that it is not so interesting. I wonder if the two teachers feel this way?" Wang Meng was a little surprised.

"I also feel the same way, especially Zhang Xin. His current stats are 28 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds. It is reasonable to say that he is also a very good statistic. He is near a triple-double at halftime, but I can see that Zhang Xin is saving his strength. Well, my guess is this. As an old warrior, Zhang Xin knows how to deal with superstars like him and James. How did Zhang Xin deal with James when he was in the Warriors:
It is to consume James' physical strength. By the time the Warriors exert their strength in the third and fourth quarters, James no longer has enough physical strength to respond.

Therefore, Zhang Xin should be avoiding such a situation. The first and second quarters will hold the point difference and not be widened. The main thing is to let his teammates play. He will take over the game after the third and fourth quarters. This is the correct opening. way! "Yang Yi said.

"Teacher Yang is right. Based on my understanding of Zhang Xin, he will not take all the chips out. The first half should be mainly about probing, and he will not take over the game until the third or fourth quarter." Ma Jian said.

The third quarter begins.

Both sides started out.

As soon as the third quarter came back, before Zhang Xin broke out, Curry broke out first, hit three-pointers in a row, and suddenly opened the score to 10 points. Earl Watson saw something was wrong and called a timeout.

Watson quietly said to Zhang Xin: "Zhang, should you give some response?"

Zhang Xin smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's about the same."

Earl Watson nodded.

Pause back, sun ball right.

Rondo handed the ball to Zhang Xin, who received the ball at the top of the arc, and then turned around and got inside. Gasol stepped up to help Zhang Xin pick and roll. Zaza Pachulia was a step slower. A three-pointer was shot, and the orange basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air and fell straight to the basket!
Three point hit!

The noisy Oracle Center suddenly fell silent. Fans who are familiar with Zhang Xin know that when Zhang Xin starts to shoot such a super long three-pointer, it means that Zhang Xin is about to explode. This is the countless explosions of Zhang Xin in the past three seasons The perception left by the fans.

Cole's heart tightened. He had coached Zhang Xin for two seasons. Of course he knew about this situation. Even though he had been preparing for Zhang Xin's explosion all night, when Zhang Xin was about to explode, his heart still thumped. Plopping frantically, he realized that as Zhang Xin's opponent, he must have a strong heart, or else he could have quick-acting heart-rescuing pills at all times.

Curry was unconvinced. People said that Ku Li was the craziest in the third quarter. Since Zhang Xin responded when he broke out, it was only reasonable for him to respond accordingly!

Curry gestured to his teammates, Green, Thompson and others nodded in unison, and Curry began to hold the ball!
Zhang Xin laughed. When he was in the Warriors, he used to think about how to defeat Curry when he faced the explosive Curry. He never thought that this day would come so soon. So, good brother, come on. Let's fight!
