Chapter 87 Field Control
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 30:28. It is very rare for the Warriors to fall behind by two points. Will be a high score.

The Grizzlies' defense is too good, and the rhythm is slow. The Warriors can't push back and can only rely on the ground to play.

The Grizzlies' positional defense is really airtight. Although the fifth team hit an 18:6 climax in the second half, the Grizzlies were too accurate when they came up with a three-pointer.

The second quarter begins.

The Grizzlies got Zach Randolph, Mike Conley, Mike Miller, Quincy Pondexter, Ed Davis.

The Warriors have Zhang Xin, Andre Iguodala, David Lee, Speights and Blake.

The Warriors are on a regular rotation, and the Warriors' rotation is generally not fast, just grinding out with the Grizzlies.

The Warriors had the ball, Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc, and called David Lee for a pick-and-roll, and David Lee quickly came up for the pick-and-roll.

Zhang Xin moved sideways, Zach Randolph was afraid of being passed, and didn't dare to go too far, Zhang Xin took a step back, directly shot a three-pointer, and hit!
McConley dribbled the ball across the frontcourt steadily, and Blake followed Conley closely. Zhang Xin knew that it would be difficult for Blake to restrain Conley, and signaled others to help defend at any time.

The Grizzlies' lineup is still very good. Mike Miller and Quincy Pondexter are both tall and big shooters. Although they can't be expected to break through, they are still very stable in three-pointers. With these two people, the Grizzlies The Bears are stronger in space than starters.

Sure enough, Blake couldn't restrain McConley, and was rushed by Conley. Iguodala quickly let go of Ed Davis, and Conley threw the ball into the sky, trying to make an alley-oop.

But Iguodala is an old fox, he just pretended to go forward, saw Conley throwing the ball, quickly took a step back and took off, touched the basketball with his fingertips, changed the direction of the ball, Zhang Xin rushed forward to control the ball.

Blake received the ball from Zhang Xin and brought it steadily forward. Zhang Xin slid the baseline to the low post on the right wing.

Iguodala received the ball from Blake and passed it to Zhang Xin who was stuck in McMiller without stopping. Both David Lee and Speights started running to open the help defender for Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin felt McMiller's defensive center of gravity on his back. Zhang Xin's right foot was the axis, and a left-handed ball passed half of McMiller.

Seeing that McMiller was about to lose his position, Zach Randolph chased after him to make up the defense. Zhang Xin immediately played the ball and hit the ground to David Lee, who stepped to the basket because of Zach Randolph's help. , David Lee directly dunked!
This is the routine that the Warriors often practice in polishing the details. Once Zhang Xin's back body attracts the help defense, the person defending the help defender must according to his own technical characteristics. Under the threat, rush to the basket to catch the ball.

In short, we can't watch Zhang Xin being double-teamed unscrupulously. In fact, Zhang Xin's purpose is to attract double-teams. This is the best chance to score.

After a few rounds, the Warriors had overtaken the score. Coach Dave Jogel quickly called a timeout for the Grizzlies. There was no problem with the Grizzlies' defensive and offensive strategies. Conley was in charge of the offense. Dave Jogel believed that Conley would deal with it.

Defense is the strength of the Grizzlies. The players have followed the arrangement of the defensive coach. In Dave Jogel's view, they have done it perfectly.

But a player like Zhang Xin is not something you can defend if you want to. He has countless ways to score.Calling a timeout is to interrupt the Warriors' momentum and let their players calm down.

As the game continued, McConley took aim at David Lee. David Lee couldn't guard Randolph. It should be said that many insiders in the league couldn't guard Randolph.

Zach Randolph is too strong and has an extremely soft touch. He can shoot as long as there is some space. McConley directs his teammates to run and then gives the ball to Zach Randolph.

Zhang Xin signaled Iguodala to double-team, and he quietly let go of Mike Miller, ready to be a defensive sweeper at any time, cutting off Zach Randolph's passing route at any time.

Zach Randolph receives the ball against David Lee, observes it, and prepares to hit David Lee with the ball.

Seeing Zach Randolph drop the ball, Iguodala let go of Ed Davis without hesitation and went straight to Zach Randolph.

Randolph was not prepared enough. He didn't expect the Warriors' double-teaming to be so resolute, and he just left Ed Davis alone and went straight to himself.

Zach Randolph was forced to stop the ball, and the ball could not be passed. Iguodala and David Lee resolutely blocked the passing route in the middle and placed the passing route on the flanks.

McConley hurried to the flank to respond, Zhang Xin decisively let go of Mike Miller, and went straight from one side to the other.

This is a very risky move. Once the pass is successful, Mike Conley can give the ball to Mike Miller on the weak side. Just send sub-questions.

Zach Randolph was forced to the side by David Lee and Iguodala. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw McConley come up to meet him, and quickly passed the ball.

Just as McConley was about to reach out to catch the ball, a big hand next to him took the basketball away, and it was Zhang Xin who arrived in time.

Zhang Xin immediately launched a counterattack, and he ran like a wild horse running wild. McConley tried his best to catch up, but found desperately that he couldn't catch up at all. He could only watch Zhang Xin succeed in dunking.

The Grizzlies were already 5 points behind, and Conley thought he must score. He hadn't scored in a few rounds in the second quarter, so let's do one himself.

McConley made a gesture, and his teammates opened up the space knowingly, and Zach Randolph went up to pick and roll for McConley.

Zach Randolph's pick-and-roll quality is average, but it is more than enough to block Blake, and David Lee switches defenses directly.

This is the strategy of the Warriors. Don't be afraid to fight big from small things, just switch defenses directly.

McConley made a lateral move and broke through David Lee directly to the left, and David Lee quickly followed.

McConley made a crossover and passed David Lee directly. Speights hurried up to defend, and McConley swung Speights up with a bow and rushed to the basket.

There is already Yimapingchuan ahead!McConley took a step forward and wanted to dunk to encourage his teammates.

A tall figure leaped high in the slanting stab. McConley heard Zach Randolph's anxious reminder and wanted to avoid a lever. Zhang Xin held his hands high, waiting for Conley to fall.

McConley shook his hand and wanted to make a reverse layup, but Zhang Xin held down the basketball with a big hand and slapped the ball to the floor, making a loud noise.

"Oh my god, Mr. Zhang can catch up with this ball. Mr. Zhang is defending against Mike Miller at a 45-degree angle. There is a distance of four or five meters. It's amazing." Wang Meng praised.

"It's not that simple. I just noticed this ball. Mr. Zhang should have estimated that neither David Lee nor Speights could guard McConley, so he made preparations early.

At the moment McConley passed by, Mr. Zhang had already started. When he reached the basket, ordinary defenders could only interfere, but Mr. Zhang's bounce and wingspan were enough for him to give McConley a big cap! "Yang Yi explained.

"So, it's mainly due to the defensive prediction?" Wang Meng asked,

"That's right, Mr. Zhang's reading of the game has reached another level." Yang Yi said admiringly.
