Chapter 81 The Difficult Zhang Xin

Popovich stood on the sidelines, looking serious, and gestured to Parker, who hurried over.

Popovich gave the opportunity face-to-face: Tony, tell them, don’t let the Warriors play transitions easily, let’s slow down the rhythm and play one by one, once they want to play fast break, foul them!

Parker nodded, quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, passed the ball to Ginobili, and made a gesture with his teammates. The Spurs players began to move, with a level of precision not inferior to that of the Warriors.

Leonard came out from the inside with the help of a screen, received the ball at the top of the arc, took two steps inside the three-point line, and passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili caught the ball with only one hand, and without a pause, he smashed it directly to the ground diagonally in front of him, and the ball went straight to Leonard's hand who was lobbing inside like a cannonball.

Leonard carried Zhang Xin for a bit, turned around and hit a jumper!

After the goal, the Warriors had no way to play a fast break directly, but Green still quickly led the frontcourt.

Curry, Zhang Xin, and Thompson started running. Zhang Xin ran from the inside to the top of the arc, received the ball, dribbled two steps to the right, and handed it to Curry at 45 degrees, helping Curry block Parker by the way.

Leonard can only switch to Curry, Curry dribbles the ball in the middle, Green comes to block Leonard, and Curry passes between Green and Diaw.

Zhang Xin held Parker on his back, saw Curry pass by, Zhang Xin ran straight to the basket, Curry made a high toss, Zhang Xin caught the ball and dunked!

Seduced by the tight game rhythm of both sides, the hearts of the audience were beating rapidly, and they felt a little out of breath.

Although the Spurs didn't look fast, after landing, they ran, screened, cut, biting one after another, compact and precise, and the audience was dazzled;
The Warriors advance fast, as long as he is given a little chance to push the fast break, the five of them are like arrows off the string, galloping to play fast breaks, there is a little gap, the Warriors will not hesitate to shoot three-pointers, or hit the target. cast.

Three historical-level shooters, three-pointers like rain, bombarding the Spurs' basket non-stop!
"Although the rhythm of the two sides is different, the sense of urgency is the same, and I am a little out of breath watching it.

This game is at the level of the finals. The level of the two sides is too high. This is the battle of the century!no doubt! "Kenny Smith said excitedly.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Spurs by 35 points at 22:13.

In the second quarter, Popovich made adjustments, played Matt Bonner, Mills and Duncan, replaced Parker, Diaw and Danny Green, Leonard and Ginobili continued to be present.

Mark Jackson replaced Curry, Thompson, Barnes and Bogut, with Zhang Xin on top of the point guard, Iguodala at the point guard, Green at the front, and Barnes at the small forward.

This is to ensure the defense on the field. Zhang Xin, Iguodala, Green, and Barnes are to ensure that Matt Bonner, Leonard and Ginobili will not suffer. Bogut is to ensure that The height of the court should deal with Duncan.

Duncan is not a player who can defend with height, but without height, he will be abused miserably.

Popovich found the Warriors slowed down in this lineup, with Green, Iguodala, and Barnes all pulled aside.

Bogut went up to set up a high pick-and-roll for Zhang Xin, but the Spurs still carried out the screen without changing players, and let the defenders chase and defend.

Bogut's screen quality is too good, Zhang Xin made a lateral move, Duncan was still guarding the free throw line and refused to come out, Zhang Xin opened his hand and shot, the orange basketball flew across thousands of mountains and rivers, and fell straight into the Nets!
This is very embarrassing. Popovich knows that it is impossible to ask Duncan to go out to guard against Zhang Xin. If he goes out, he will definitely be passed.

Today's Warriors are terrible. Zhang Xin can play such a high pick-and-roll, and Curry can also play. If you come up, I will rush, and if you don't come up, I will shoot three-pointers.

In the first quarter, Curry made three-pointers like this. The Spurs didn't dare to double-team Curry. Curry's shots were too fast, but Zhang Xin should be able to try.

Popovich and his disciples made a gesture, indicating that the top of the arc double-teamed Zhang Xin.

In the next round, Zhang Xin still called Bogut for a high pick-and-roll. Zhang Xin found that the Spurs' strategy had changed. Duncan went up to meet him. Mills bypassed Bogut and double-teamed himself. Zhang Xin realized: This is a high position Double team!

Zhang Xin didn't panic, and took a step back to make room. Bogut saw the opportunity very quickly, and took a step inside.

The passing route between Zhang Xin and Bogut is very clear. Mills is too short to block Zhang Xin's passing.

Bogut received the ball and made a three-step layup. Duncan has been attracted to the three-point line. Matt Bonner and Leonard inside are not tall enough to reach out. Bogut directly dunks!

"Greg wanted to double-team Zhang Xin in the high position. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin's speed of the ball was not slower than Curry's. With Zhang Xin's height, it was easier to pass the ball and his vision was better. it is good.

The Spurs may be killed by Zhang Xin-Bogut’s high pick-and-roll in the second quarter. The Spurs are not afraid of strict discipline and a team that relies on running offense, but against Zhang Xin who just grabs you and beats you alone But there is no way, but Greg should adjust immediately. "

Sure enough, Popovich and Ginobili taught the opportunity face to face.

In the next round, Zhang Xin also played a high pick-and-roll, and the Spurs' response changed again: pile up the strong side, play the weak side, and Leonard is in charge of sweeping!
Zhang Xin smiled slightly, Duncan was delayed coming up, Zhang Xin didn't stop, he circled a big circle, he must pass Duncan.

After passing Duncan, Matt Bonner, the red mammoth, is in front of him. Zhang Xin is short and goes straight in. Matt Bonner lowers his center of gravity to block Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin throws the ball to Iguodala on the weak side. one free.

Leonard was shocked, let go of Barnes, and rushed to Iguodala. Iguodala passed the ball to Barnes once, and Barnes caught the ball for a layup!
The door is wide open for the Spurs!

Zhang Xin has already seen through the Spurs' defensive strategy, knowing every move and every move. Now Zhang Xin, as long as he can read the opponent's strategy, he has enough ability to crack it.

The Warriors' system has been formed. If you want to defend by stacking the strong side and letting the weak side go, you will definitely suffer a big loss.

Zhang Xin does not only have the ability to hold the ball, he can make too many choices, he can shoot three-pointers, mid-range shots, go to the basket and dunk, he can make cakes for the center, he can judge the opponent's defensive focus, and put the ball To the weak side player.

And Iguodala, Barnes, and Green are all passing players above the standard. As long as one person loses his position, the others are all passers who can attack the open space and mobilize the opponent.

Popovich originally thought that the rotation lineup could make Zhang Xin make mistakes by double-teaming the strong side, and recover the points during the rotation time.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin's double-team breaking ability was not inferior to Curry, Popovich scratched his head angrily.

Of course, the Spurs' lineup is also difficult to defend. Just because Duncan beat Bogut forcefully, forcing the Warriors to help defend, and then pass it to the outside to shoot, this also caused the Warriors a headache.

But overall, the rotation time can only be regarded as a tie between the two sides. When Zhang Xin was off the court, the score was 49:36, and the Warriors still led by 13 points.

Zhang Xin came off the field, sweating profusely, and quickly drank some water to recover his strength. This Spurs team is not only strong, but they are also very oppressive. They squeezed on the line and constantly oppressed the ball holder. Zhang Xin had to fight between the two In just 6 minutes, Zhang Xin felt exhausted. This Spurs team is too strong!
