new lord of the rings

Chapter 450 He will be surpassed by Zhang Xin!

The fourth quarter begins.

The Suns play in a rotation lineup, with Zhang Xin, Chandler, Hield, Warren and Bro Gordon.

The Warriors played Thompson, Iguodala, Green, David West, and Livingston.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Xin broke out again. Facing Iguodala's defense, Zhang Xin directly sank to the bottom line and hit Iguodala with his back. Iguodala may have a good defense against James' backs, but he faced There was nothing he could do about Zhang Xin's post-up singles. Not to mention Michael Jordan's fake move, even a simple turnaround jump shot was enough for Iguodala to drink a pot.

Since Iguodala has no way to restrict it, the Warriors are bound to use flanking. Zhang Xin has never been afraid of flanking. On the contrary, most of his offense exists to change the opponent's defense. When the Warriors flank, Hilde on the outside , Bro Gordon and Warren in the air cut are all available!

Hilde's terrifying shooting rate made Cole terrified. Bro Gordon is not good at it, and he is also very confident in three-pointers. Warren's air cut is a must, whether it is an air cut in the middle , or intercepting the back door, they are all good hands.

After playing for about 4 minutes, Cole quickly changed the starting lineup back in advance. There was no way. The Warriors' lineup was really anxious. Green and Iguodala's shots depended on the sky. Master, Bro Gordon likes to defend this kind of off-ball master the most, and Thompson is uncomfortable being entangled by Bro Gordon.

To be honest, the Warriors with Curry and the Warriors without Curry are two different teams, even when Durant came in the previous life. When it came back, the Warriors' offense opened up again.

But in these 4 minutes, the Suns opened the score by 8 points, and Cole's timeout was still a little slow.

Curry and others came back, Rondo and others also came back, Paul Gasol replaced Chandler, Rondo replaced Warren, Hilde and Bro Gordon remained on the court, Earl Watson hoped that the Have enough three-point firepower.

Cole removed the big man and went directly to the five small lineups. After playing for 2 minutes, he evened out the 8-point difference. Curry kept attacking Gasol, and Earl Watson once It didn't look right, so he decisively replaced PJ Tucker, and became the fifth junior of the Suns.

Golden State Warriors Death Four vs. Phoenix Suns Five!

Now the alignment situation is:

Rondo followed Curry, Bro Gordon followed Thompson, Hield followed Iguodala, Zhang Xin followed Barnes, and Tucker faced Green.

The audience on the sidelines stretched their necks to pay close attention to two of the three strongest lineups in the league. The other has always been the Houston Rockets, who have already been eliminated early.

Although both sides are five juniors, their playing styles are completely different. The Warriors play fast, while the Suns play slow. It is understandable that the Warriors play fast, because when the Warriors play the fifth juniors, they use their speed to drag down the opponent's big center. But the Suns played slowly, which was puzzling, but after a few rounds, everyone suddenly realized:
The Suns have such a low-post killer like Zhang Xin, but they want to go down to the low post to kill the opponent, not to mention that the post-up singles are behind the times. Only those who are not efficient in post-up singles think so. When your post-up singles When you can force your opponent to pinch you, then this back is invaluable.

Soon the fans at home were surprised to find that the Warriors' five small lineups not only did not have an advantage against the Suns' five small teams, but the score gradually opened up to the North Suns!

the reason is:

After the Suns entered the five small lineups, there will be almost no chance of misplacement in defense, and it is enough to switch defenses at any time. Green and Iguodala are both lacking in post-up singles. It’s not that they can’t, but they are not efficient. , even if it is Barnes, Zhang Xin is willing to let him play back in the low post, because the efficiency is not too high.

On offense, Zhang Xin is restrained in the low post. Iguodala can't defend Zhang Xin alone. The Warriors must pinch Zhang Xin. But the Suns have five players on the court, except for Rondo's three-pointer. , the other four are all accurate three-point shooters, and once they attack, it is an opportunity for a three-point shot.

Don’t talk about flanking and then supplementing the defense. It doesn’t exist. Based on Zhang Xin’s understanding of passing, when the flanking personnel can’t return to defense, he will not pass. As long as he passes, it is a full open space. !

A rogue tactic with one star and four stars!

To put it simply is too simple, but not every team has such a super ball-handler who can change the opponent's defense. There are only a few people in today's league, such as James Harden, LeBron James, and Zhang Xin , there may be others, but they are definitely not as good as these three.

And Zhang Xin is the most comprehensive one among the three, combining passing, low post, breakthrough, and three-pointers, Zhang Xin is the one with the least flaws, and the Suns' shooters may be the best in the current league , which refers to the combination of quantity and quality.

Cole was very anxious. If even the five most trusted members of Death couldn't beat the Suns, what would the Warriors do to beat the Suns?

Zhang Xin and Rondo were not happy. The two of them controlled the rhythm and firmly controlled the rhythm in their own hands. Even though Curry and Thompson were making the last fight, Zhang Xin and Rondo may be the best at controlling the rhythm in today's league. With the two of them controlling the tempo, the Warriors couldn't play the offensive and defensive transitions that the Warriors are best at, and were forced to use five small lineups to attack the positions they are least good at.

When there is only 1 minute left in the game, the Warriors are still behind by about 10 points. This score is actually still within the scope of chasing, especially for a team like the Warriors, but now Curry, Thompson and others are Lost in spirit, Zhang Xin's counterattack is really too powerful, as long as they score one, Zhang Xin will definitely counterattack and firmly control the lead of the score.

This score lead has been like this since 6 minutes. The Warriors are struggling desperately like a trapped animal, but there is no way to get rid of Zhang Xin's suppression.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 148:138. Such a high score may be the first time in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, Coach Cole sighed: "In fact, we have played well enough, but Zhang Xin is really amazing. Let's look at his statistics of 68 points, 14 assists, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks. What kind of statistics are these? , He wants to take all the playoff records into his arms!
In this season's playoffs, Zhang Xin has twice surpassed Michael Jordan's record of 63 points in the playoffs. He is like God himself playing. He needs to score and triple-double. I have played for so many years He has been a general manager, a coach for several years, and has been in the league for more than [-] years, but he has never seen such an amazing player...Michael?He may be surpassed by Zhang Xin.
