new lord of the rings

Chapter 48
The TNT team saw that coach Casey was constantly being forced by Zhang Xin to call a timeout and adjust the players on the field, and the three of them also discussed.

"Zhang Xin's ability to read the game is getting stronger and stronger. He is staring at the Raptors' weakness every step of the way. Coach Casey is feeling uncomfortable now. He has all the main players, thinking that he can close the score in the rotation lineup. Now Zhang Xin Go straight to the weakness. If Coach Casey can't solve this problem and close the score in this quarter, it will be a steal. After a while, the Warriors' main force will come back. The Raptors' main force has weakened. The Raptors can be dealt with in one wave, and today's game can be declared over." Charles Barkley said with a smile.

"This young man Zhang Xin is a monster, Charles, did you have such a good insight when you were a rookie?" Shaq O'Neal asked.

"I don't have this kind of ability. When I reached this level, I had already been polished in the league for seven or eight years. When I first entered the league, I could only foolishly stick my butt and grab rebounds." Charles Barkley said. Sigh.

"What an amazing guy, not to mention his explosive scoring ability, just his ability to read the game is more than enough to be a qualified point guard. I want to see how far Mr. Zhang can do it and what he can achieve Height." Kenny Smith followed suit.

Zhang Xin saw that coach Casey made another adjustment and replaced him with Patrick Patterson, so he had an idea as soon as he wandered around.

The Raptors relied on off-ball screens to create an unguarded open space for DeRozan to score two points. Zhang Xin didn't care. He didn't think about limiting the Raptors' scoring.

Zhang Xin called the pick-and-roll while holding the ball, so he called David Lee.

Coach Casey was a little excited to see that Zhang Xin followed his ideas. Now it depends on whether Patterson can use his long arms to interfere with Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin used David Lee's pick-and-roll to break through. Although Patterson's offensive ability was not good, he followed Zhang Xin relying on his footsteps and wingspan. While running inside, Zhang Xin threw the ball into the sky. Patterson felt a black cloud covering his head. Looking up, two hairy thighs hung towards his face. Patterson shook his head. Low quickly dodged.

"Boom!" The basket let out a mournful cry, and David Lee dunked successfully.

Coach Casey sat down on the chair with a gray expression on his face. He couldn't restrain Zhang Xin. Today's game will be difficult. It's already 5 minutes into the second quarter, and there are two more rounds. The main players will come back one after another. Lowry It has been a quarter and a half, and it has to end. Without Lowry's organization, it would be difficult for the Raptors to take advantage of this Warriors.

In this quarter, too many timeouts were called, and I could no longer call it. I could only wait for the ball to die or the Warriors to make a substitution before making a substitution.

After playing another round, Mark Jackson replaced the rotation lineup, stepping up Curry, Thompson and other main players one after another.

The achievement of Zhang Xin's mission not only did not make the score close, but also widened it, because the Raptors mostly scored two points, and Zhang Xin mostly shot three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was very high, pulling the score to 13 points.

Facing the Warriors with all the main force, the Raptors have no ability to resist. Curry made two three-pointers, Thompson made one three-pointer, plus Green's layup and Barnes' mid-range shot, a wave of 2: 1 opened the score to 13 points. Coach Casey called a timeout and called Lowry back after a few minutes of rest.

With Lowry coming back to organize, it was considered a tie with the Warriors, but it failed to close the score. The Warriors led by 20 points and entered the off-duty field.

Back in the second half, Zhang Xin played for another 10 minutes, scored 7 points, and then took a break. Not long after the fourth quarter, Coach Casey replaced the main force and played the rest of the game with a substitute. In the end, the Warriors beat the Eastern Conference. The third-ranked Raptors scored 25 points, causing experts from all walks of life to lose their eyes and dentures.

Zhang Xin scored 28 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds, almost a triple-double, and his playing time was less than 25 minutes.
The TNT team made a summary of the game.

"Today's Raptors didn't make many mistakes. Coach Casey just didn't expect Zhang Xin to be so good, and Coach Casey was also quick to respond on the spot. But sometimes you have to admit that the strengths of NBA players are different. When You don’t have enough good players on the bench, and it’s useless for you to let Auerbach come.” Kenny Smith excused Coach Casey. Auerbach is the former head coach of the Boston Celtics in the NBA. The meritorious coach of the Special Team who won the NBA championship 9 times, is honored as Reed Auerbach of the Cardinal.

"Zhang Xin has grown to the point where he can fight the Raptors with two guns in the backcourt. In the second quarter, DeRozan and Lowry were both on the court. Oh, and Valanciunas is also there. Zhang Xin With a rotation lineup, the Raptors' starting lineup was hardened, and they won by 4 points, how much can this leadership ability rank in the league?" O'Neal said with a smile.

"So who is the boss of the Warriors now?" Barkley suddenly asked a sharp question.

"Huh...?" Both O'Neal and Kenny Smith were stunned. Even the big-mouthed O'Neal didn't dare to say more about this question. This will be sprayed and destroy the unity of other teams for no reason.

Curry and Zhang Xin, who attended the press conference with Jack Michelson, were also asked this question by reporters. Zhang Xin was slightly displeased, but Curry smiled.

"I don't care if I'm the boss or not. In fact, I would also like to assist Zhang. Zhang is so good. I don't just refer to his performance on the court. I feel that he is still a member of our coaching staff." Curry laughed so hard Out of sight.

"Brother Stephen will always be my boss. As long as I am still in the Warriors, the boss of the team will only be Stephen, and only him! Don't have this kind of problem in the future." Zhang Xin said firmly.

The reporter didn't give up: "Don't you want to be the boss?"

This question is very sharp. If you say you don’t want to, it’s hypocrisy. If you say you don’t want to, even if Curry doesn’t mind, these reporters will definitely talk nonsense. Zhang Xin is a little embarrassed, and Curry holds Zhang Xin down, indicating that he will speak .

"The Warriors are a big family. We love each other like brothers. Zhang Xin treats me as a big brother, and I also regard him as a brother. He and I don't care if we are the boss. Our goal is to win. Although we don't care, but Please don't ask this kind of question in the future, it's a challenge to us." Curry said seriously.

As a coach with low emotional intelligence, Mark Jackson broke out: "Can you ask something related to the game? Every day to provoke harmony within the team, is it appropriate for you to do this!" Mark Jackson sternly said.

Zhang Xin: He really is an impulsive man...

The press conference was a bit embarrassing. In the end, everyone broke up unhappy. The reporters who reported afterwards did not dare to talk nonsense, but only said that the Warriors beat the Raptors, Zhang Xin was so fierce, and Coach Casey was so anxious.

The Warriors' victory over the Raptors has aroused great vigilance in the hearts of those who care: Are the Warriors already so strong?
Popovich rubbed his chin, staring at Zhang Xin's offensive and defensive highlights. The Spurs have a good momentum this year. Popovich also wants to take advantage of the last bit of fuel in Duncan's fuel tank to win a championship for the Spurs.In Popovich's eyes, Zhang Xin's performance on the court is mature and stable, and his ability to read the game... is like a person... Kidd!Popovich remembered that Zhang Xin did have Kidd's demeanor when leading the team alone, but unlike Kidd, Zhang Xin has an unparalleled scoring explosive power, but there is no doubt that: Zhang Xin will definitely be the leader in the future. A field commander who can rival Kidd!
This year's Warriors have become the Spurs' rivals!Popovich grimaced.

Pat Riley stared closely at the technical statistics of the Warriors this season with hawk-like eyes. He found that after the rookie Zhang Xin joined in the season, the Warriors' high-level statistics have improved qualitatively. Both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency have improved a lot.The high-level data of Curry, Thompson and others have also improved a lot, which shows that the changes Zhang Xin brought to the Warriors are at a completely new level.

"What a horrible rookie," Pat Riley sighed.

In the legendary life of Pat Riley, I have seen countless talented players, but the first season can bring such a terrible change to the team. Lee thought for a long time but couldn't find a template. Even Michael Jordan can only reach this level through constant growth. There is absolutely no one like a veteran who has been in the league for many years. Such a player can no longer be measured by a rookie When you meet him in a game, you must treat him as you would a famous person, or you will suffer a lot!
