new lord of the rings

Chapter 92 Three points at the buzzer!

Zhang Xin and Barnes came on, and Jordan Crawford and Bogut got off. With Zhang Xin, there is no need for a guard.

Before Zhang Xin posted, Mark Jackson didn't make any arrangements. He knew that Zhang Xin knew how to fight.

Zhang Xin had already seen the Knicks' strategy clearly before he came up, and he summoned his teammates as soon as he came up:

"Harrison and Andre, if you have an open space on the three-point line, you must shoot boldly. With your shooting percentage, you will not be left empty;
Drummond, evacuate the inside, go to the high pick-and-roll, and then cut to the inside after the block, I will give you or the outside depending on the situation;

David, look for mid-range shots, shoot when there is space, don’t hesitate!”

The teammates nodded in unison: "OK!"

Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc, Green quickly ran over to the high pick-and-roll, Zhang Xin made a lateral move, and learned from the past, Tyson Chandler did not dare to take two steps, so he rushed up and was delayed.

Zhang Xin took another two steps to the side, and when Felton switched over, Green had already cut inside, and Zhang Xin passed the ball overhead to Green.

Felton was too short to interfere with Zhang Xin's pass at all. Green took the ball and shot in, and Anthony, who was defending Barnes, hurried over to defend.

Green directly passed the ball to Barnes who was emptied, and Barnes did not hesitate to pull up and shoot a three-pointer. The orange basketball drew a wonderful arc and fell straight to the net!
This is a common trick used by Curry and Green, a high pick-and-roll, and then Green goes down, once the people inside come up to help defend, Green's throw in the air is an air cut.

If people from both sides come up to help defend, the other side will give the ball to the player on the other side, and it will be an open three-pointer immediately.

The key to this tactic is whether the double-teamed player can successfully pass the ball to the center forward under the offer of two people.

Changing to Zhang Xin and Green is still very powerful now. Zhang Xin's height and passing ensure that he is not easily disturbed, and the passing is as smooth as silk.

When Mike Woodson saw Zhang Xin coming up, he knew that the shrinking tactics would not work, so he signaled the players to spread out to defend.

With only 1 minute left in the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 52:46, and the Warriors led by six points.

Felton dribbles the ball upfield, JR Smith lays in the corner, and Tyson Chandler comes up for Felton's high pick-and-roll.

Zhang Xin switched defenses directly, and David Lee faced Felton directly. David Lee implemented a defense strategy, letting go of surprises but not throwing shots.

Felton rushed inside, David Lee was more nimble, and he was not thrown off. Green came up to help defend, Felton passed the ball to Stoudemire who was emptied, and Stoudemire immediately exploded, wanting to make a dunk .

Zhang Xin let go of Tyson Chandler at the free throw line and rushed straight to the basket. Stoudemire dunked the ball towards the basket in the air. Zhang Xin leaped high in the diagonal stab and slammed Stoudemire's ball with his right hand. With the palm of his hand, the racket collapsed so far on the basket that Stoudemire was almost knocked out of bounds.

This kind of ball is generally not hit by the blower, and the rule of player integration is very thorough in the NBA.

Iguodala controlled the basketball, immediately launched a fast break, and dunked with one hand without defense!
The Oracle Center is boiling again. Today's game is really exciting. After resting two core players, they can still beat the Knicks with Anthony, JR Smith, Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire. It's really enjoyable!
"Wow! Mr. Zhang's defensive range is really too big. Stoudemire received the ball and Zhang Xin was still on the free throw line. Stoudemire jumped to dunk, but in a flash, Zhang Xin blocked Stoudemire.

This is of course the slowing down of Stoudemire's jumping speed after his knee injury, but it also shows how terrifying Zhang Gongzi's speed is. I seem to see James! " Wang Meng praised.

"It depends on two aspects. One is Mr. Zhang's extraordinary physical fitness, and the other is that I have to say that Mr. Zhang's timing prediction is really good. The timing is just right. This is a golf quotient and cannot be forced." .” Yang Yi said.

With only 30 seconds left, both sides have an attack.

Felton dribbled the ball across the front court and gave it to Anthony. Anthony looked at the timer and slowly waited for the time to run out to only 14 seconds before launching an attack.

Barnes lowered his focus and looked at Anthony intently. Tyson Chandler came up to pick and roll Anthony. Anthony rushed directly, and David Lee quickly followed.

Anthony took two steps inside the three-point line and made an emergency stop. David Lee couldn't hold back his body and stepped back a few steps. Anthony made a steady two-pointer!
With only 7 seconds left, Mark Jackson did not call a timeout, and Zhang Xin directly caught the ball and dribbled it across the frontcourt.

With only 3 seconds left, Felton closely followed Zhang Xin, who dribbled the ball straight to the basket. Zhang Xin suddenly pulled back when he stepped into the three-point line, and Felton was thrown two meters away.

Anthony hurriedly rushed to Zhang Xin to interfere with the shot, Zhang Xin took a step back in a leisurely manner, and only then pulled up the shot when he was outside the three-point line.

As soon as the ball was shot, the backboard was already glowing red. At the end of halftime, the orange basketball slid in the air for a long distance before falling into the basket!
"Wow!!" There was an attacking sound from the Oracle Center!

"Zhang! Hit a three-pointer at the buzzer! One-stop dribbled the ball across the court, made an emergency stop inside the three-point line to get rid of Felton, and made a three-pointer with a step back! It's beautiful!" the commentator on the scene roared.

Green rushed up and shouted at Zhang Xin excitedly, Iguodala rushed forward to hug the center of gravity, David Lee and Barnes came over to high-five Zhang Xin, the Warriors' bench was already in a mess!
Carmelo Anthony glanced at Zhang Xin with a complicated expression. Perhaps what he was thinking in his heart was that generations of talented people came out of the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

"Oh my god, what a big heart! It's so calm and terrifying to be able to make such an exquisite retreat in only two seconds!" Wang Meng praised.

"The nature of a natural killer! When I moved away from Felton, I seemed to see the figure of Michael Jordan's shot from the free throw line of Michael Jordan in G98 of the 6 Finals. The same confidence, the same ease! It's wonderful!" Yang Yi was very excited.

At halftime, the score between the two sides was 57:48, with the Warriors leading by nine points.

The second half begins.

The nine-point difference is within an acceptable range. There is still a lot of time tonight, and the Knicks are not impatient when they come back.

Mike Woodson should have readjusted his tactics. The Knicks played very well in the second half, both offensively and defensively.

Zhang Xin also knew that today's game would not end so quickly, and he was not impatient. He just created more opportunities for his teammates and took a few shots by himself, silently conserving his energy.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was 92:87, and the Warriors only led by 5 points. Mark Jackson replaced Zhang Xin and Barnes, and the decisive time came.

The Warriors are Zhang Xin, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut.

The Knicks started with Carmelo Anthony, JR Smith, Amar Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler.

Mike Woodson looked a little nervous. The victory or defeat is in these 5 minutes. If they can win today's game, the Knicks will be able to enter the playoffs.

Although there is still a month to go, whether you can keep it is another matter, but at least you have worked hard today, so you won in the end, right?

Mark Jackson also became serious. The difference between the Warriors and the Spurs is not much. If you want to ensure the number one in the Western Conference, you must also ensure that you can win most of the games. At this time, no one wants to lose.

The fans are concerned about the team's victory and defeat, watching with bated breath for the upcoming decisive victory, many people's hearts are beating fast...
