Chapter 522 Adjustment of the sun!
The second quarter begins.

The situation in the second quarter was similar to that in the first quarter. Zhang Xin was desperately bitten by Smart, and the other young people couldn't open it. Rondo knew very well that when Zhang Xin was bitten, he had to stand up and maintain the score so that he could meet Zhang Xin's explosion. Zhang Xin is not a god. He cannot explode in any situation. He also needs energy.

Under Rondo's desperate efforts, the score between the two sides was not opened at the end of the second quarter, and the 10-point difference was still maintained.

Celtic locker room.

Coach Stevens didn't look too relaxed. He knew very well that for a super player like Zhang Xin, it is possible to be restricted for a while, but don't think he can be restricted for a whole game. This is the case in the first and second games. , The first half was restricted, but when Zhang Xin got used to it, once the second half broke out, all the hard work in the first half would be in vain, so the second half was the real test.

Coach Stevens looked at the panting Smart, feeling a little worried: Smart was the Celtics' most effective defense against Zhang Xin. Xin, but Smart's physical condition doesn't look very good now. If Smart can't restrain Zhang Xin, then other people's effects are not very good. Once Zhang Xin breaks out, it may repeat the same mistakes.

Marcus Smart is a very good player. He dares to break through and is not afraid of physical confrontation. When the team won, Smart always took the lead and tried his best. Coach Stevens admired him very much.

"How are you feeling, Marcus?" Coach Stevens asked.

"Coach, I feel good. I'll defend Zhang Xin in the second half." Marcus Smart said excitedly. After all, being able to limit Zhang Xin, No. 1 in the league, is very useful for improving his worth.

Stevens nodded and smiled, but the worries in his heart did not diminish by half. Players' fighting spirit is very important, but it is difficult to perform as they should if their physical strength cannot keep up. This is a very realistic thing, isn't it? Strong willpower can make up for it.

Zhang Xin, who returned to the dressing room of the away game, didn't look frustrated, he looked very confident, and there was no restrained anger in his behavior.

After a little change to a dry jersey, Zhang Xin felt extremely comfortable. He peeled a banana casually, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, wiped his mouth with a towel, then cleared his throat and said: "Brothers , Come and listen to me."

Gasol, Rondo and the others quickly put down what they were doing and looked at Zhang Xin quietly. Zhang Xin looked around for a week and smiled: "You don't have to be so cautious, I'll just say a few words."

Everyone laughed.

"Everyone played very well in the first half. It is our chance to maintain the score. Smart should also be tired. I will go all out in the second half. You just seize the opportunity and throw the ball in." Zhang Xin Said.

The teammates nodded, and Zhang Xin turned to look at Earl Watson: "Coach, I don't want to follow the starting lineup for the second half. I want a better offensive lineup that can open up space for breakthroughs. Let’s chase the score back, Rajon was too tired in the first half, take a break and come back, and you need to control the rhythm in the fourth quarter.”

Rajon Rondo has no dissatisfaction at all. Zhang Xin is a very good leader. He is neither selfish nor arrogant. All decisions are made for the team's victory. Rondo knows his strengths and his weaknesses. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Xin's arrangement.

Earl Watson glanced at Rondo and nodded when he saw that Rondo had no objection: "Zhang, I understand what you mean."

Zhang Xin nodded.

The halftime break is like a year for the fans, but for the players it is a blink of an eye, and the game restarts.

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience! Welcome back to the live broadcast. The second half of the third game of the NBA2017-18 season finals is about to begin. Now the Celtics are playing: Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Eric Al Horford, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Morris, all the starters played.

Let's look at the side of the sun, hey!The players on the Sun's side are: Zhang Xin, Buddy Hield, Kyle Kuzma, Kelly Olynyk and PJ Tucker. This is not the starting lineup. Rondo, Gasol and Devin Booker all Not in the formation, with Kyle Kuzma, Olynyk, and Buddy Hield, the height has improved. The key is that these people are shooters! "Wang Meng said.

"It seems that Coach Watson wants to use this lineup to equalize the score first. The Celtics should pay attention. According to big data research, when the Suns are on the court, the net victory over opponents per 23.8 rounds is +[-] points , this is a very scary data.

The Warriors' "Death Five" was their most important weapon when they swept the league in the three years they established the dynasty. No matter what kind of opponent they are facing, the Warriors can use this lineup to get them. Among the combinations, the "Death Five" can outperform their opponents by +3 points per 200 rounds, which is the combination with the highest net efficiency in the league.

But now the Suns' lineup is not inferior to the efficiency of the Golden State Warriors dynasty. to its original effect. "Yang Yi analyzed.

Sun ball right.

Hilde was responsible for dribbling the ball across half court and then to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin signaled to pull away. Olynyk raised Zhang Xin to do a high pick-and-roll. He didn't have much confidence in defending Zhang Xin. He raised it up nervously. Horford is a player with a very high golf quotient. He knew that if he didn't go up and delay, it would be an easy opportunity to practice shooting for a historic three-pointer like Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin is also observing Horford's actions. Horford is known as a ball blind recognizer. He has a very high golf quotient. People with high golf quotient will make many reasonable actions and can restrict many ordinary players, but there will still be logic to follow. Zhang Xin Just one look at Horford's game and he knew that there was a big delay in the game. He took a step back to avoid Horford's upward move, and directly broke through to the inside!

After Horford mentioned it, there was a vacuum inside. Tatum and Morris rushed back with all their strength, but at Zhang Xin's speed, how could it be easy to take off in three steps? Morris and Tatum quickly avoided, otherwise they would definitely Being blocked by Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin's explosive power is too scary!
Zhang Xin dunked successfully!
