new lord of the rings

Chapter 503 I, Zhang Xin, have been scoring points all my life, why have I ever been bullied?

After the three quarters, the score of the two sides was 106:102. In the third quarter, the Thunder boosted their morale and attacked the Suns, reducing the score to 4 points.

"Tonight's game was really ups and downs. At the beginning of the first half, the Thunder beat the Suns. After the second half, the Suns turned away and dominated the Thunder. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder once again boosted their morale and launched a counterattack. The score is approaching again. Now the score difference between the two sides is not much, and the suspense of the game still exists. Now we will see how the two sides will line up in the next fourth quarter. Whoever establishes the advantage in the first half of the fourth quarter will win Maybe win the game." Wang Meng said.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Xin, who had been low-key for three quarters, finally attacked by himself!

Zhang Xin only scored 24 points in the first three quarters. This score is far less than his usual score. This has something to do with his desire to conserve energy and also has something to do with the opponent's defensive strategy. The Thunder adopted a mixed defense to target Zhang Xin. Although Xin has not been affected by his influence on the game, he has scored 19 assists in three quarters, but his scoring is restricted. The meaning of the Thunder is simple: even if you are defeated by anyone, you cannot be defeated by Zhang Xin!
It's just that if Zhang Xin breaks the assist record, people will still say that the Thunder was defeated by Zhang Xin.

Under such a defensive strategy, it is understandable that Zhang Xin scored fewer points. The main reason for Zhang Xin's explosion in the fourth quarter was that the Thunder's defensive strength dropped!

It is difficult to maintain a strong defensive strength. The more the physical strength drops, the lower the defensive strength. The Thunder maintained a high-intensity defense for about three quarters. For a player like Zhang Xin, once you reveal your flaws, it's like exposing your throat to a hungry wolf!
Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc, and Kuz immediately went to help Zhang Xin with a pick-and-roll. Rand's crotch went directly to Kuzma's hands. Paul George and Durant's attention was instantly attracted by Kuzma, but Zhang Xin didn't stop. He ran directly to the three-point line and received a pass from Kuzma. Just raising your hand is a three-pointer!
Three point hit!

The clamor in the arena stopped for a moment, and then boos even louder.

"Hey, the hit-the-wall coordination after the pick-and-roll is very delicate. After Zhang Xin passed the ball, he ran to the three-point line non-stop. Kuzma also reacted very quickly, and immediately passed the ball back to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin raised his hand. This The ball looks pleasing to the eye!" Yang Yi said.

In the next round, Zhang Xin went down to the low post. In the first half, Zhang Xin also often went to the low post to hold the ball. Usually, someone from the Thunder came to flank, and Hilde lobbed the ball to Zhang Xin. This time, Westbrook did not flank in time. Zhang Xin Turn around directly in the middle and then turn over and shoot a jumper. Paul George can't interfere with this kind of ball. Zhang Xin hits a mid-range hit!
"This ball is really wonderful. In the first half, the Thunder must have flanked the ball, but this time Westbrook did not come to flank, allowing Zhang Xin to easily turn around and make a jump shot. Paul George can't defend this ball. , Zhang Xin easily scored!" Wang Meng explained.

In the next round, Zhang Xin steals Westbrook, Westbrook forcibly breaks through Hilde, Zhang Xin decisively pinches and intercepts the ball, and then quickly switches. Although Paul George tried his best to catch up, Zhang Xin's speed is too fast, it is almost there Zhang Xin suddenly stopped at the three-point line, Paul George was thrown far away, Zhang Xin chased him for a three-pointer and hit it!

"Yigao people are bold! This ball Zhang Xin has already taken the lead, although Paul George is chasing behind, but with Zhang Xin's speed and bounce, Paul George dare not block the shot, because there is probably no way to stop Zhang Xin Scoring may also lead to a foul, so I can only interfere with it as much as possible, but Zhang Xin did not choose to score under the basket, but directly chased the three-pointer. He did not do the sure thing, but chose to benefit more. I can't think of any reason other than being bold!" Yang Yi said.

Coach Donovan hurriedly called a timeout. There was no way Zhang Xin could score [-] points in a row, and if Zhang Xin continued to play like this, it would be fine to just admit defeat in the second half.

Coach Donovan can't do much. He tried his best to boost morale and encourage players to take a more active attitude to defend and entangle the Suns. In terms of tactics, he still followed the defensive strategy in the first half. The defensive strategy in the first half was Yes, at least to some extent, it restricted Zhang Xin and led the Suns in terms of score. However, the first half was suitable, but the second half may not be suitable. The situation in the second half is different, and the Suns have fully opened up.

Not to mention Zhang Xin scoring one after another, the others also seized the opportunity created by Zhang Xin and made all the goals that should be scored. By the end of the first half of the fourth quarter, the Thunder had fallen behind by almost 20 points. Most of the Suns' offensive choices are three-pointers. Such a team is extremely scary. Once they are accurate, they can open the score in a few rounds and make the game no suspense in half a quarter.

Although there is only half a quarter left, the Thunder did not give up and did not dare to give up. Now that the series is 0:2 behind, if they lose another game today, then basically this season will be reimbursed. If you can't give up, then I can only work hard!
Especially Durant and Westbrook, they have suffered too many defeats against Zhang Xin, they don't want to lose to Zhang Xin's hands again, even if they break their legs tonight, they still want to win the game!

Durant went all out, playing back-to-back singles constantly, he evaded Zhang Xin's defense, and everyone else defended him directly. What does not exist, such as saving energy, passing the ball, and what team does not exist, now is to score!

Only scoring can hold the sun tightly, and only scoring can get rid of the fate of defeat. The rest of the Thunder understand this truth, so they do their best to help Durant clear the space and create a space for Durant. In a comfortable singles environment, Durant is worthy of the nickname of Death God. After avoiding Zhang Xin, no matter who meets him, it will be a misplacement!

Olynik and Kurz will go right away-the small fights the big!

Hilde and Devin Booker go up-big and small!

This kind of Durant is indeed Zhang Xin's opponent, and Zhang Xin does not show any weakness. If Durant hits one, Zhang Xin will definitely score one. In terms of offense, Zhang Xin has never been inferior to others. LeBron James is like this, Stephen This is true of Curry, and so is James Harden. In terms of explosive scoring power, he is the No. 1 in the league!No.1 in league history!
If Zhang Xin is a pretender, he will probably say something like this: I, Zhang Xin, have been scoring points all my life, why have I ever been bullied?
