Chapter 25

Stockton won't affect his judgment because he doesn't score or other things, but what he doesn't know is that he has been misled by Zhang Chen's performance in absolute control.

The Heat have players like Tim Hardaway who can fight regardless of defense, but the Jazz don't. Their reliance on Stockton's passing has formed inertia.

So when the Heat strangled other players and Stockton made a mistake in his judgment, the result of the game can be imagined.

85:82, the Heat won the game.

On the plane to Milwaukee, Jamal Mashburn was activated, and he will return to the game against the Bucks.

After Marsh himself recovered, Pat Riley also fell into troubles of happiness. Before the start of the season, he didn't expect Zhang Chen to be so good. Can fill in a little bit of the Heat's forward line when Marshburn is not around.

Mashburn is also a player who needs the ball. In this game, he just came back and can let him play as a substitute, but after all, he still has to make a choice. Pat Riley decided to look at his state first. Now the Heat His record is No. [-] in the East, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen because of an extra combat power.

The Bucks are another team that mainly focuses on the perimeter. This team has conducted several transactions this year. The "Three Musketeers" lineup was formed this year, but the "alien" Sam from the Nets - Cassell hasn't activated yet, but even without Sam Cassell, they're still a perimeter team, pure perimeter team.

The third-year "Sword of a Gentleman" Ray Allen is already a very good outside player. "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson is now the Bucks' number one outside player. Even power forward Tim Timothy, who was traded from the 76ers, -Thomas also likes to float outside, not to mention the leading scorer on the bench, Dell Curry, who, like his later famous son Stephen Curry, is also a good three-pointer.

The only one who really fights in the interior is the "tractor" Robert Traylor they traded for Dirk Nowitzki in the draft. Unfortunately, due to his short height and fat body, he is not very good at all. Adapting to the NBA, it can also be said that the Bucks' insiders are no different from the useless ones.

In fact, there are really not many good insiders in the Eastern Conference. Most of the teams with good records so far are teams with outside players as the core. With the Heat's current record, they must consider longer-term issues.

Whether they can suppress this kind of outside team is the key to whether they can go further in the playoffs. They were eliminated by such a team last season, although this season is no longer as strong as last season's Bulls The outside team, but from the few games they lost, they were all lost to such a team.

Dan Marley is one year older, and his offense has dropped a lot compared to last season, but his defense is still very tough, but the years are not forgiving, and he can no longer deal with some opponents just because of his toughness, so Pat- Although Riley doesn't like to see Mashburn very much, he hopes that he will play well.

Of course, except for Zhang Chen, the rest of the Heat will not know that they have to pass the New York Knicks first this year. They have won all the games against the Knicks before this season. Mourning's opponent, Pat Riley really cares more about the Heat's performance against such a team with outside masters.

The Heat's starting lineup has not changed, and Mashburn must be a substitute for the first game back from injury.

This time Zhang Chen played at the 2nd position, facing the more flexible Ray Allen, while Dan Marley defended the stronger Glenn Robinson.

In fact, Zhang Chen and Dan Marley are about the same height, and they can both play two positions. Pat Riley often switches the two positions according to the characteristics of the opponent's players.

Zhang Chen is quite familiar with Ray Allen, and he has watched many of his games before. He has excellent running awareness and accurate shots. This is somewhat similar to Reggie Miller, but his physical fitness is better than Reggie Miller. Le is much better, so his skills are more comprehensive. You must know that in the All-Stars, this player participated in the slam dunk contest first and then the three-point contest. Of course, his excellent physical fitness also means that his defense is better.

It is difficult to defend against a master who runs without the ball. The defender who needs to be on the position must concentrate at all times and cannot relax for a moment. In Zhang Chen's mind, the difficulty is second only to fast footwork. not slow.

So he concentrated at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Ray Allen's first attack against him was a direct breakthrough, and a change of direction squeezed half a body position to be a textbook jumper.

Zhang Chen stretched out his hand to interfere, and it was already a bit slow. Ray Allen's shot was very fast. blocked.

Still not fully prepared, Zhang Chen secretly reminded himself that he had to be more active. Ray Allen's defense was not like a hand-to-hand fight, but he was not lazy, and he always stayed in front of him.

Zhang Chen desperately wants to find someone on the offensive end. He is stronger than Ray Allen. Nothing happened to him.

The main point of attack for the Bucks is Glenn Robinson. Although he doesn't seem to be in good shape, his offensive skills are still good. Dan Marley can't keep up with him.

So don't look at Mourning playing fiercely here, but the score is not widened. The Heat still have some problems with their perimeter defense, but before it's time to adjust, some problems have appeared on the court.

Glenn Robinson was fouled by Dan Marley in an attack, and the two spat at each other, pushing and shoving all of a sudden.

The skirmish was instantly separated by the teammates of both sides, but the Heat called a timeout a little earlier, and Pat Riley replaced Jamal Mashburn, who was more dominant in height and weight.

Although Tim Hardaway didn't like this guy very much, he still listened to the coach's orders and gave a goal to Marshburn who had just played.

Unlike Dan Marley, Mashburn's ability to create offensive opportunities is absolutely superb. With his back to Glenn Robinson, he turned left and right and made a mid-range shot.

In fact, he has already participated in team training, and it is not surprising that he has such a performance as soon as he plays.

But I don't know whether he has been absent from the battlefield for a long time or his own defensive habits are not particularly good. Glenn Robinson also scored points easily in front of him, which made Pat Riley frown.

During the offense, Mashburn asked for the ball again, but this time Hardaway didn't give it to him, which made Mashburn depressed for a while.

The first half ended in the middle of you and me. The Heat led by 42 points at 40:2. Mashburn was in a good mood. Although Hardaway didn't pass the ball to him very much, when the computer Hardaway was off the field, he was full of performance In addition to his offensive ability, his body feels great now.

But the head coach Pat Riley was not happy, "You guys are playing like an amateur team, are you letting the other side do shooting practice?" advantage, how can Pat Riley rest assured.

When 2 points is one ball, this kind of outside-oriented team goes crazy, not just one or two balls. If they can't even control the Bucks, they will still fail when they meet the Pacers, and the Pistons , 76ers, Magic, if you can only fight for the touch, you can't go to the end.

"Put your defenses on and don't act like a pussy."

In the second half, the Heat switched to the starting lineup again, and Mashburn continued to sit on the bench.

Zhang Chen received Pat Riley's task again, defending Glenn Robinson in the second half. In the first half, this guy was too arbitrary. Pat Riley hated any opponent's player doing whatever he wanted in his team's half.

Over the years, whether it's with the Knicks or the Heat, he's been driven crazy by someone who can do whatever he wants in his team's half court, so he won't allow that to happen to other players.

"Substitutions, the Heat's defender on Glenn has become No. 10 Zhang Chen."

"Since the Heat acquired Zhang Chen, Pat Riley has done this in several games, using the rookie as a defensive leader at critical moments."

"Some experts pointed out that Zhang Chen is not only a big-hearted player on offense, but also a very big-hearted player on defense. If his offensive power can be ranked among the top three rookies this year, his defensive skills can definitely rank first. If his No matter how stable the defense is, it must be in the top ten of the league's perimeter defense..."

"However, this strong contender for the best rookie seems to be a passionate player, and he can't just keep in the most amazing state."

"What kind of passionate player, it's just some shit luck once in a while, don't try to guard me, you're just like those two girls before, just let me blow your ass obediently, haha." Hearing the voice of the live commentator , Glenn Robinson laughed.

The best rookie, he hates this thing, it's his candy, but the league gave it to other kids because he wasn't obedient enough, it's all shit.

Zhang Chen looked at him contemptuously, and said with disdain: "Joke, just a second-rate player like you, with a bloated figure, defending you is as easy as defending a retired old man, and also, a role player who is behind the score and still blows his breath I've seen a lot..."

"I don't care if the score is behind, I'm going to blow you up in a second, boy."

"Come here if you have the ability, puppy, I only seriously defend you once, I have no interest in competing with second-rate players like you, your average points per game are too few, ha ha."

For such an irritable and mean guy, Zhang Chen doesn't mind a little more violent trash talk.

Seriously defend once, of course not, he will seriously defend every ball, but once, that is not serious defense, that is absolute control.
