Chapter 454 Return of the King!
The time for the second half was approaching, and players from both sides returned to the sidelines one after another. Sharp-eyed spectators saw Zhang Xin running out of the player tunnel, and immediately cheered. Zhang Xin accelerated while running, as if he was testing his physical condition. Looking good.

The big screen showed the camera to Zhang Xin in time. Zhang Xin's expression was relaxed, and he didn't seem to have any discomfort. Now the fans were relieved. With Zhang Xin back, the game was far from over.

Zhang Xin is very satisfied with the fierceness of his teammates. His teammates are too gentle and refined. This may have something to do with being at the bottom of the league for a long time. This will result in this situation. Only the baptism of iron and blood like the Western Jue can make them glow with the original fierceness in their bones.

Zhang Xin was severely elbowed in the ribs by Zaza Pachulia. After careful examination by the Suns team doctor, they found no fractures, but soft tissue injuries. This kind of injury is not serious, but it will be very painful. Zhang Xinya chose to re- There are no sequelae after playing, but I am afraid that too much pain will affect my performance.

Naturally, Zhang Xin will not give up on the Western Conference Finals. For such an important game, it is right to bear with it. All the hard work for a year is here.

The third quarter begins.

The two sides started all out. The Warriors were expelled because of Pachulia and sent Mr. Big McGee. Zhang Xin laughed. McGee is a good frame protector, but his position selection is not very good. From a letter point of view, McGee is a point that can be used.

Zhang Xin attacked McGee as soon as he came up. He held the ball at the top of the arc and called Gasol to the high pick-and-roll. Stretching his long legs, he was not afraid of Zhang Xin, he rarely fought against Zhang Xin, and he didn't know how terrifying Zhang Xin was.

The moment Zhang Xin received the pick-and-roll, he directly stuck to McGee and broke through under the blue. After two strides, he was already close to the basket. To use it, there must be confrontation.

Relying on the momentum of rushing up, Zhang Xin slammed into McGee's body fiercely. McGee was knocked out of bounds as if flying out. Zhang Xin took advantage of this reaction force and directly jumped up, facing him. Green dunked directly!
As soon as Zhang Xin came back, he swore his return with a thunderous dunk!

"It's a blast, Zhang Xin!" Su Qun shouted excitedly. "McGee has defended the ball very well and can keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps, but Zhang Xin's impact is terrifying. McGee's figure is still a little thinner, and he was directly knocked out of bounds by Zhang Xin. I think Zhang Xin should use this dunk to tell his teammates that I am fine, look, I can still dunk!"

"Teacher Su is right, and another intention is to tell the opponent that your dirty things can't hurt me. You made a mistake. Since there's no way to hurt me, then I will beat you hard. !” Teacher Ma Jian said.

Zhang Xin doesn't want to know whether Pachulia's black hand is Pachulia's own idea or Cole's idea, or whether Curry and the others know, it doesn't matter, since they are on the court, they are not brothers, but Opponents, the Warriors can use any means, and this does not affect Zhang Xin's perception of the Warriors.

Zhang Xin is an idealist, but not a person with moral and cleanliness. This is because he uses means to win over his teammates, control the team's transactions, and control the stability of the locker room. He is a leader with clear goals, not a moralist. A gentleman, a gentleman of morality is difficult to be a good leader.

So Zhang Xin doesn't hate these on-court and off-court means, he just doesn't bother to use them, but he doesn't think it's a matter of character when others use him, and the matters on the court are resolved on the court.

When the Warriors were attacking, Zhang Xin stuck to Barnes while observing his teammates' defense. In the past, their defense seemed to have sufficient skills and enthusiasm, but there was always something missing. To sum it up in one sentence: A defense that is not aggressive enough has no soul.

Under the concerted and fierce defense of the Suns, the Warriors' offense has problems. Although McGee is much stronger than Pachulia in terms of athletic ability, he is not as good as Pachulia in support and cover. This is why Pachulia Leah can start, but McGee can only appear as a surprise soldier.

The Warriors were clumsily defended by the Suns' fierce defense. Thompson was so entangled that he couldn't even catch the ball. Curry and McGee's pick-and-roll Suns directly switched defenses. The Warriors go to the basket.

Facts have proved that even the Warriors, if they can only play outside, it is difficult to open. To open the offense, there must be both inside and outside. Curry is difficult to be restricted, but it can force his efficiency to drop. It's what the sun wants to see.

On offense, the Suns made a fuss about McGee. McGee's physical fitness is really good, but the selection of defensive positions is really a headache for Coach Cole.

The Suns attacked, Rondo held the ball in the high post, Gasol went up to the high pick-and-roll, McGee got hit a few times by Zhang Xin, and became impatient on defense, Gasol blocked, and he rushed up directly, Rondo originally wanted to return the ball to Gasol, but seeing McGee go up so far, he directly passed McGee to the basket for a layup.

Cole covered his forehead: That's Rondo, and Rondo doesn't have a three-pointer, so why are you rushing?

But Cole also understands that every player has his own advantages and disadvantages. He should not only enjoy the convenience brought by the player's advantages, but also endure the aggrievedness caused by the player's shortcomings. No player is as perfect as Zhang Xin .

After playing for about 3 minutes, Cole took the initiative to call a timeout. If he didn't call, he couldn't do it. The offense was sluggish, and the defense was targeted. In 3 minutes, he was hit with a 12:6 spurt, and the point difference was pulled to 11. point.

"In the past few minutes, the Suns played really well. The defense was so impenetrable that it almost made it impossible for the Warriors to attack the basket. Thompson was restricted and could only rely on Curry to make strong shots from outside the three-point line. Even Curry, with such serious interference, it is difficult to keep his hit rate.

In terms of offense, the Suns fully targeted McGee's positioning and attacked McGee for several rounds. McGee jumped around like a frightened deer. It can be seen that McGee has been beaten to the point of impatience. " Ma Jian commented.
