new lord of the rings

Chapter 9 If you can catch me, I will let you hehehe

The Bulls requested a timeout.

Butler felt like he was going to explode.

It's fine to be humiliated by Klay Thompson, but what's the matter with being humiliated by nobody?

Butler clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his face was livid, and his teammates seemed to be able to see the blue smoke coming out of Butler's nose, mixed with sparks...

"Zhang, don't try to make a move easily next time! I will follow you closely." Butler said through gritted teeth.

"Wait until you can catch up with me." Zhang Xin shrugged.

On the bench, Curry quietly asked Zhang Xin.

"Zhang, do you want to play low post singles later?"

"Boss, there's no need, one is enough. Doesn't that boy Jimmy think he can run very well? I will still play without the ball for a while and walk him vigorously." Zhang Xin smiled unscrupulously.

"Haha, just run, I'll give you the ball if I have a chance, and you just shoot." Curry laughed so hard that his molars were clearly discernible.

"Hey, boy, just run around me, so that kid Jimmy can't catch up with you." Green grinned.

"Add me." Iguodala.

"Can I be missing? How dare you intentionally hurt Xiaotangtang." Bogut, who came from Australia, said viciously.

"Okay, bosses, look at me." Zhang Xin sucked his teeth.

Pause ends.

The Bulls stepped up their offense, using a combination of inside and outside. Boozer made a strong attack inside to attract double-teams, and then fouled the empty-cut outside line into the basket. Now the Warriors are really uncomfortable. Bogut and Green Both were fouled once.

Turning back to the Warriors' offense, Zhang Xin ran out of three open spots and hit two three-pointers on the heavy off-ball screen formed by Iguodala, Green and Bogut.

Butler felt trapped in countless jungles, with big trees, thorns, and swamps everywhere. His body was sore and bruised, and he couldn't keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps when he ran out of breath.

Zhang Xin is like a fish swimming in the crowd, just as Liu Zongyuan said: "The fish in the pond can have hundreds of heads, and they all swim in the air without any support. The sun shines brightly, and the shadow spreads on the rocks."He still doesn't move, but he is far away, and he comes and goes.

Butler was like a clumsy savage, desperately trying to catch fish swimming in the water, but he was helpless.

Zhang Xin's running without the ball tore apart the Bulls' defense and drove the team's offense. Curry and Iguodala both scored goals. Bogut also ate a cake through the pick-and-roll with Curry. The Warriors A gust of wind and rain hit a 14:4 wave.

The Bulls could only rely on a few free throws to score a few points. The Bulls had no choice but to request a timeout again.

The score became 23:8, and the Warriors led by 15 points.

Such a game is unacceptable for the Bulls. Although the recent Bulls have had a difficult time because of Rose's injury, they are still a playoff team.

After being led by 15 points in the half quarter, head coach Tom Thibodeau was furious. The team he built has always been a strong defensive team.

After this season, there are only five games in which the opponent can score more than 100 points. There are three games against the 76ers, the Lakers and the Celtics who are at the bottom of the league. A game of scoring points together.

For a strong team like the Warriors in the playoffs, winning may not necessarily win, but you must go all out to play and play the Bulls' iron-blooded defense.

Now being beaten like a sieve by the Warriors, how embarrassing is Thibodeau, who is keen on defense?
Thibodeau scolded his players harshly, bowed their heads one by one, and Thibodeau stared fiercely at Butler.

"Jimmy, it's not a bad thing to be high-spirited in the league. I don't blame you, but you must implement what you say, otherwise it will become a big talk. Do you understand what I mean?"

Butler flushed. "Coach, I tried my best, but the Warriors set up too many off-ball screens for Zhang, and I couldn't catch up at all."

"Pure defense is too passive. I allow you to consume him on offense. You go directly to the low post and fight against him. In the league, your physical fitness is also top-notch. I don't think you will lose to him."

"It consumes a lot on the defensive end, and his shooting percentage on the offensive end will inevitably drop."

"Coach, thank you." Butler's eyes were red with gratitude.

Thibodeau patted Butler on the shoulder. Rose was injured, and now Butler has the potential to carry the outside line. These pressures are all he has to face, and he can only help here.

The game continued. Barnes replaced Iguodala, David Lee replaced Bogut, Curry continued to lead the team, Zhang Xin and Green did not change.

The Bulls players haven't changed, but the style of play has changed.

Before, he used a combination of inside and outside, but now he withdraws to one side as soon as he enters the field, and Butler sinks to a low position.

"Charles, what do you think Thibodeau is planning?" Kenny Smith asked Barkley.

"Isn't that obvious? Butler obviously can't defend against Zhang Xin's off-ball. Since he can't defend, I will also play offensively, forcing you to one-on-one, which consumes your physical strength. If your physical strength decreases, your shooting percentage will drop. In this way, it becomes a rogue strategy: I can't score, and you don't want to score." Barkley commented sharply.

"Hahaha, the NBA is so exciting. Offensive and defensive translocations are just one or two countermeasures. If the countermeasures are right, the weak can defeat the strong. If the countermeasures are wrong, the strong may be defeated by the weak." O'Neal said some good words.

"Wow, fat man, you can hear such reasonable words from your mouth, where did you see it?" Barkley expressed surprise.

"Haha, I recently studied China's "Sun Tzu's Art of War", how is it, isn't it good? Did it surprise you?" O'Neill smiled smugly.

Zhang Xin didn't stop Butler from asking for the ball in the low post. First, forcing the Bulls to play singles was in line with the Warriors' wishes; second, he also wanted to see Butler's singles ability.

Butler leaned against Zhang Xin, Hinrich dropped the ball in, and Butler dribbled the ball with his right hand and arched it inside.

"Bang!" The sound of muscles colliding.

"Huh?" Without pushing, Butler pushed hard again.

"Boom!" The collision was even louder this time, but Zhang Xin still remained motionless!
Butler was shocked. It was not surprising that Zhang Xin was able to propel him when he hit him: the active attacker had to take the initiative.

But Butler was appalled that he couldn't believe it when he took the initiative himself.

As the saying goes: "Beyond a line, there is no limit." Zhang Xin was able to resist him without moving, which shows that Zhang Xin's strength is better than him!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin's slender body actually contained such great power.

Convinced, but the ball still wants to attack, Butler gritted his teeth and used all his strength to hit it, which was a turnaround jumper, trying to hit a time difference.

Zhang Xin had been prepared for a long time. He opened his big hands and covered his face with a hot pot hat, and flew the fan to the midfield. After Butler took off with all his strength, he fell to the ground weakly, and sat down on the ground.

Curry had been prepared for a long time, and quickly caught the ball and dribbled across the frontcourt for a layup.

"Boom!", Zhang Xin's hot pot hat detonated the audience.

"my god! Zhang Xin is too cruel!"

"Ah...! Zhang Xin, I love you! I want to give birth to a monkey for you!" It was a certain female fan.

"..."

"..."

"Zhang Xin! Zhang Xin! Shooting must go in! Defense is invincible!" This is a Chinese.

Zhang Xin has conquered Warriors fans, whether they are male fans or female fans... Oh, female fans have long been conquered by his appearance: he is handsome and can really do whatever he wants.

Butler was given a big cap for two singles.

You can't defend, you can't attack, you can't attack, and you get caught again and again.

As proud as Jimmy Butler, with a tough personality like Jimmy Butler, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. He looked back at halftime with his head down, looking a little bit out of his mind.

Hinrich sighed secretly, and stopped giving the ball to Butler. Instead, he directed his teammates to move and play inside and out. With a lot of chances, the score gradually caught up.

The distraught Butler obviously lost his focus on defense. Zhang Xin ran out of two open positions one after another and made both shots without wasting any chances.

Thibodeau hurriedly took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace Butler. This was an opportunity to protect the players. If the game continued, Butler's mentality would collapse.

The first quarter was coming to an end, and Zhang Xin was also replaced, replaced by O'Neal and David Lee to play a twin-tower tactic. At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 35:22, and the Warriors still led by 12 points.

Zhang Xin played for 8 minutes in the first quarter, didn't play in the second quarter, played in the third quarter in the second half, and the game was declared to be in garbage time.

The Warriors have been firmly in control of the rhythm. In the third quarter, Curry, who wanted to get off work early, started the three-quarter library mode, four three-pointers, two layups and a wave of harvest. Thompson's injury after the game came out. Moderate sprain, estimated to need two to three weeks of rest.

Game data, the Warriors 112:87 Bulls, the Warriors won by 25 points, this is the biggest defeat the Bulls have suffered this season.

斯蒂芬库里拿到25分8助攻5篮板，汤普森拿到9分2篮板，伊戈达拉拿到15分6篮板5助攻，格林拿到14分10篮板6助攻，张信拿到26分2封盖6篮板，三分10投八中。

"The Chinese genius beat the Bulls to be the star!" Time Warner reported.

Rose is injured, and Butler can barely be regarded as the head of the star.

"The Warriors' third sharpshooter: Zhang Xin, a genius from China." ESPN reported.

"The beauty of the Oriental genius shocked the NBA!" NBC Sports reported. (Where does your strange focus come from?)

"Zhang Xin's fadeaway jump shot is picturesque." This is Tencent Sports.

"Zhang Xin's fadeaway jump shot didn't have alcohol, but I was drunk like a dog." Sina Sports.

"The most handsome NBA player in Chinese history." A certain C browser is still a strange focus.

"Butler: I can't stand behind you, and I can't catch up with you off the ball." I know a certain son.

"The troubles of rich kids: If you don't work hard, you have to go home and inherit hundreds of millions of property." Mou fluttered.

Zhang Xin is popular, whether it is in the United States or China, with his outstanding performance on the court, his outstanding appearance, gentle and elegant temperament, born in a wealthy family, and a top student of a famous teacher in a famous American school, Zhang Xin has fulfilled the fantasies of all women and even the prayers of all men. .

"Such an outstanding man, I'm afraid he's not even worthy of having a child... woo woo," a certain woman cried while covering her face.

"So handsome, working so hard, and so fucking rich, this doesn't give us such a man a way to live! But, I like it, quack..." A certain man quacked.
