Chapter 511 The plight of the Houston Rockets, Paul who voluntarily entered the bench.

Since Rondo stabilized the situation, Zhang Xin simply took a rest off the court. He rested for one and a half quarters. When he came back, the Rockets had no energy or energy. Game away.

The final score of the game was 112:132, and the Phoenix Suns beat the Rockets by 20 points!
休斯顿火箭的两个核心数据都不错，克里斯保罗28分10助攻5篮板，詹姆斯哈登30分11助攻6篮板，卡佩拉12分14篮板1助攻，埃里克戈登12分分2助攻3篮板，阿里扎12分1助攻4篮板，球队一共有5人上双，看起来的确是非常不错，但是板凳席上的得分只有可怜的25分！
On the other hand, the Fiscus Suns, Bro Gordon 12 points, Batty Hield 13 points, Kuzma 7 points, Olynik 6 points, Chandler 5 points, the Suns scored a full 45 points off the bench!
Zhang Xin scored 40 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in this game, and won a triple-double again. Zhang Xin basically didn't play much in this game, mainly helping his teammates create opportunities. Even so, he still scored 40 points without knowing it. Minute!
The Suns easily won the first game through the correct strategy, and it was a 20-point victory. The attention of the Western Conference Finals was much higher than that of the previous two rounds. The series, but from the first game, the Rockets' culprit has been exposed. The Rockets have too few players, and it is really a disadvantage against a team like the Suns, which is full of soldiers!
After the first game, people's understanding has completely changed. The topic of discussion has changed from who can break out from the Rockets or the Suns to: How many games can the Rockets last?
In fact, this is also expected by Zhang Xin. He has never put the Rockets in his eyes. If it seems that the Warriors enter the Western Conference Finals, he has to make a good plan. The Rockets look strong, but their configuration is too poor , even when Chris Paul arrives.

PJ Tucker, who was originally the defensive core of the Rockets, did not leave the Suns. It is difficult to rely on the Rockets to let go. Ariza and Mbah a Moute have defense, but their offense is too poor. Anderson and Gerald Green are accurate shooters , but they have no defense. Capela is a good player, but the sun's ability to protect the frame is the first in the league. There are Gasol, Chandler, Olynyk, Kuzma, Tucker and other insiders. Being able to maintain a frame-protected height on the court, coupled with Zhang Xin's unparalleled athletic ability, the Suns' inside line is very difficult to overcome.

In this way, the Rockets can only rely on the two cores on the outside. Harden and Paul are indeed two admirable opponents. They are extremely good both in singles and in driving teammates. Opponents like the Golden State Warriors give Zhang Xin some headaches, but the Suns are not afraid of teams like the Rockets, nothing else, there are too few people who can play.

The Suns have the deepest bench in the league. The players are basically good at offense and defense. Under Zhang Xin's training, the hard work of the young people is used in the most correct place. Harden and Paul are in the crowd tactics. After consuming the last bit of physical strength, at the critical moment, he had no physical support, and could only watch Zhang Xin take the game away with ease!

The situation in the second game was similar to the first game. D'Antoni made some adjustments, such as increasing the frequency of rotation and increasing the number of people in rotation, but you can't ask those players who haven't played well all season to be able to play in the Western Conference Finals Being able to play well in such a fierce confrontation, D'Antoni swallowed his own bitter wine!

Zhang Xin led the team to beat the Rockets again!

Even a strongman like Chris Paul, who is so competitive and tenacious, can't help but show a frustrated attitude. Although it is only a moment, even Chris Paul is like this, let alone others, the Houston Rockets, who are 0:2 behind, have reached the most dangerous stage. This is the end, if you can't make it back when you return to Houston, then this season will come to an end!
houston.

"Coach, we've got to make a change," Chris Paul said grimly in McD'Antoni's office.

"We're already making changes," D'Antoni said.

"Coach, what you know is not enough," Paul said.

"Chris, you are an excellent commander. Tell us what you think and let's discuss it." D'Antoni is not considered a traditional coach. He was once a reformist coach in the league. His bombardment tactics have shaped today's He can listen to the trend of the league, especially a veteran with outstanding golf quotient like Chris Paul.

"Coach, the problem we are facing now is: we will always encounter a physical crisis in the third and fourth quarters of the second half. You can increase the rotation and increase the frequency of rotation. The effect is still very good, but it is not enough. We must maintain Combat power at critical moments," Chris Paul said.

"You mean to use you and James separately?" D'Antoni obviously thought about this question.

"Yes, coach, what I want is to put me on the bench, and James and I will lead the team separately, so that we can maintain a playmaker on the court every moment and effectively maintain the battle at critical moments. Power," Chris Paul said.

D'Antoni looked at Paul with admiration: "Chris, are you willing to enter the bench?"

Chris Paul nodded solemnly: "Coach, it doesn't matter, as long as you can win, these faces are all vain."

D'Antoni was relieved: "Chris, you are an admirable player. I did think so before, but considering your idea, I didn't bring it up. I didn't expect you to bring it up yourself. You deserve my admiration!"

Chris Paul shook his head bitterly: "Coach, even so, I don't have the confidence to beat Zhang Xin!"

D'Antoni's smile gradually disappeared, and the heavy came to D'Antoni's face again, D'Antoni nodded: "Chris, sometimes we can only do what we can do, as for the final result, we still leave it to God. "

The two masters and apprentices were relatively silent in the office under the setting sun.

If Chris Paul and D'Antoni were Chinese youths, they would probably recite poems to each other: In front of the independent Buddhist hall at dusk, the ground is full of locust trees and cicadas.

It's a pity that they are not. They are just watching the sunset slowly sinking into the ground in the office, and the office is plunged into darkness. Just like their mood at the moment, the dark night seems to be a harbinger of the plight of the Houston Rockets.
