new lord of the rings

Chapter 500 What to do?
The second game was held in Phoenix as scheduled. This game attracted most interested people to watch, including the general manager of the Golden State Warriors Bob Myers. Bob Myers' team Durant is eyeing. It is very likely to build a dynasty again, which is not a small temptation for Bob Myers.

There is little chance of Durant leaving now, because the Thunder has found Paul George and Westbrook's Big Three partners for Durant, as well as top role players such as Andre Robertson and Adams. Durant has nothing to say, the only chance for Durant to leave is:

Zhang Xin led Phoenix to sweep the Thunder. Even if it wasn't a sweep, they would have to lead by a big score. For example, if they can solve the game in five games, if they can beat the Thunder in this way, Durant can have doubts, and then the Golden State Warriors can beat Phoenix in the Western Conference Finals. If we talk about the tie-breaker, it will definitely attract Durant's attention and let Durant see the opportunity to defeat Zhang Xin. Then Durant will most likely come to the Golden State Warriors to fill in the defect that Zhang Xin left. Possibly a dynasty again!
So even though Bob Myers is not willing to meet the Suns, in order to get Durant, he would rather let the Suns beat the Thunder severely, and then attract Durant. I have to say that Bob Myers can become a The general manager who created the dynasty team really has his reasons. His vision goes beyond the confines of one or two seasons, but puts his vision on four or five years. This is already very remarkable.

In the second game, as Bob Myers wished, the Suns simply defeated the Thunder this time. The reason was that the Suns found the weakness of the Thunder. Rondo is a face-saving person when Westbrook is off the field, but he is also a smart person who takes the overall situation into consideration. For the sake of the team, he would rather let himself be feared of Westbrook.

Zhang Xin told Rondo that as long as you have enough champions, no one will think you are a coward. Rondo thinks so. The conversation between two smart people is very simple. When Zhang Xin mentioned Rondo, he understood what Zhang Xin meant. , People in the NBA always only remember how many rings a certain player has, but no one remembers how that ring came from. People are always forgetful.

And avoiding strong points is not weakness, it is the team's strategy, just like Stephen Curry often hi becomes the opponent's first choice for attack, so the Golden State Warriors designed a series of measures for Stephen Curry to make up for the lack of defense.

Earl Watson's adjustment is very effective. Batty Hield's defense against Westbrook is much better. Although Batty Hield is not as good as Rondo in the overall situation, Hield's three-pointer However, Rondo was far behind. When Hilde was on the court, the Suns moved a lot more smoothly.

And Rondo played a very important role in leading the rotation lineup. With Rondo as the commander on the court, the outside shooters had the opportunity to bomb. But when it came to the rotation stage, Rondo led the team to climaxes repeatedly, opened up the score during the rotation, and forced Coach Donovan to increase the playing time of the Thunder's starting lineup.

Because the Thunder's Big Three are on the court for a long time, even if they are still at their peak, their long-term presence will inevitably lead to a decline in their physical strength. The decline in physical strength means a decline in efficiency. At the end of the three quarters, the Big Three barely maintained the score at 5 points However, when entering the fourth quarter, Zhang Xin made a sudden effort and scored 20 points in the half-time, pulling the score away at once. He controlled the situation in the second half and won the game steadily.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Suns led the Oklahoma City Thunder 2:0, but Zhang Xin was still suppressed by Zhang Xin in the big three battle. After the second game, more discussions were caused.

People began to discuss whether the three giants of the Thunder are in harmony and how to defeat Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin's invincible posture is disappointing. In the Golden State Warriors, it can be said that it is a credit to the system, but when it comes to the sun, it is obviously a one. It's just a bad team. Before Zhang Xin came, it was the worst team in the league. It was because Zhang Xin was brought out. Even the worst team in the league can make Zhang Xin bring Zhang Xin to the top, so what is there to say? .

The outside world is like a pot of boiling water, and the inside of the Thunder is not calm. In Coach Donovan's office:

The Big Three of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Paul George were all there, opposite Coach Donovan, Thunder general manager Sam Presti was also there, and several assistant coaches sat aside Keep silent, everyone has had a meeting for a long time, the theme of the meeting is of course how to defeat the sun, everyone discussed for a long time, and came up with many sets of plans, but after a set of arguments, they found that if there is no way to restrict Zhang Believe me, talking about beating the sun is a joke!
Then let's discuss how to defeat Zhang Xin.

Defeating Zhang Xin is not too difficult, just find someone to prevent him to death, most people can be restricted like this, but Zhang Xin... can you find such a person in the alliance?
The answer is no!
There is no such person in the league. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who are the best defenders at the small forward position, are about to be beaten to a mental breakdown by Zhang Xin. Before the series started, Paul George didn't care, but after two games, Paul George actually had self-doubt, he was doubting his defense!
Since Zhang Xin can't be defended by one person, as for flanking, theoretically no one can play one against two, but the game is not a one-on-one half-court match. Of course, there is no way for one person to be flanked by two people in a half-court one-on-one, but in the half-court In the whole game, the game is five-on-five after all. As a top pass master, Zhang Xin is more willing to be flanked, and only when he is flanked can he have a chance.

Flanking him fell into Zhang Xin's trick, but instead of flanking him, cut off the connection between Zhang Xin and his teammates. Zhang Xin's unscrupulous singles, if this method is feasible for other superstars, cutting off the contact between the superstar and his teammates, and letting the superstar fall into singles, how many points can this superstar get if he dies, 30 points? 40?50 points!Can you beat your opponent with fifty points?Obviously not!
But Zhang Xin...he is not a person who only gets 100 points, if he is allowed to play singles, he might get 100 points! Can 30 points beat your opponent?Maybe not, but his teammates are not dead, it's okay to score [-] points, so his singles can really kill people.

Single defense doesn't work, flanking doesn't work, cutting off contact with teammates doesn't work, what should I do?People in the office looked at each other.
