Chapter 80 Goal
The Heat's outside line is still strong enough, this is the perception of the Bucks with a defeat.

But even so, they don't think they will lose in the outside line competition. The "Three Musketeers" can average 60+ points per game, and Tim Thomas averages more than 70 points per game. The deer family is gone.

Clamping on Mourning, completely using the outside line to determine the outcome, the Bucks did this at the beginning of the second game. They thought that the loss on the field was not decisive enough, so the Heat played both inside and outside the line.

Ray Allen's defense was once again placed high by the coach. In terms of physical fitness, he is the best and the most suitable for Zhang Chen to fight against.

It is George Karl's plan to have three scoring points and one main defense, and the other two will increase the offensive weight.

In fact, Cassel encountered the least resistance here. After all, Hardaway and Anthony Carter are shorter than him.

Therefore, although the first ball was passed to Ray Allen, Ray Allen did not get rid of Zhang Chen's defense and passed it back to Cassel. Cassel stepped back and made a jump shot for the Bucks. .

The Heat's Mourning was flanked from the beginning, and the attack could only be launched from the outside. Players like PJ Brown who are more accustomed to defense, although they also have a certain mid-range shooting ability, are not stable at all.

In the playoffs, a stable offense is even more needed.

Facing a one-man defense, Zhang Chen is not too worried. He is very clear about Ray Allen's defensive characteristics. On good days, this gentlemanly defense isn't an issue at all.

Zhang Chen is not a pure shooter, so he doesn't depend so much on his touch, and the Bucks don't have a master defenseman. In this case, he only needs to be firm in singles.

On the contrary, the Heat's tactics encourage stronger singles, and they can't wait to kill their opponents with a single advantage.

Carrying Ray Allen into the inside and hitting a jumper, Zhang Chen is also one of the rare first offenses to be played by him. For Mourning, there are still very few teams that double-team when they come up. The number one center in the East even Because of his comprehensive offense and defense, the light wheel attack, his threat is still not that great.

"This game was more intense than the first game. After Mourning was restricted on the offensive end, the only scoring points for the Heat were Zhang Chen and Mashburn. From this point of view, the Bucks resolutely pinched Mourning. That's right, the Heat are still scoring a little less, if only Hardaway was Hardaway when he first got here."

"Hardaway's scoring ability is not as good as before, but it is already very good to have three powerful scorers in a team. If the Heat have other scoring points, what will the other teams in the East do?"

"Now it is estimated that we will have to compete with the stability of outside scoring, but if the Bucks keep pinching, there will definitely be loopholes in defense."

"Maybe they don't care about holes at all, as long as they play outside offense, there is hope."

Only Zhang Chen knows that if he plays with the Heat for a long time, the Bucks will definitely not be their opponents, because in the fourth quarter, after he used Momentum Ruhong, the Heat will make most of the open spots.

If you want to win them, you need to get more leads in the first three quarters, or you need to have a ruthless person who can defend against their offense and not be afraid of their defense. Obviously, the Bucks don't have such a ruthless person.

Although the Bucks didn't know about this situation, their head coach George Karl was still very disturbed watching the team's performance. When Zhang Chen let go of the attack, he was really strong.

When the All-Star became the starter, many people didn't think that his strength had reached this level. In fact, it was because he often suppressed his own offense in order to maximize the team's offensive efficiency. Ning's inside attack is more efficient. What he needs most is to open up space for his teammates and do a good job of defense.

But now the Bucks choose to flank Mourning, and when he needs to attack, he will never be soft.

"Ray Allen's defense is not fierce enough, so he can't deal with Zhang Chen."

"Compared to defense, he encountered trouble on the offensive end, which is the biggest trouble for the Bucks."

Ray Allen was not used to Zhang Chen's full offensive and defensive confrontation. Although he had fought many players in the same position, Zhang Chen gave him a different feeling. He was overwhelmed in both offense and defense Some can't breathe.

This made him a little anxious, and he began to ask for the ball constantly in the offense. If he didn't play a few hearty offenses, he would be too unhappy.

"Hey, are you a wrestler? Can't you just play seriously?" For Zhang Chen's defense, his patience has reached its limit.

"Lei, physical confrontation is a part of basketball. I don't have small moves, you should understand." Zhang Chen responded with a smile.

Although his defense is fierce, he is absolutely not dirty. He will never do such small moves as pinching people, so he is very confident in facing this problem.

Ray Allen was also speechless, covered his head and went to the inside to kill, and then found that there was no room for a shot, so he could only pass it out depressingly.

Don't look at his calm expression, his heart is about to collapse long ago. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"At the end of the first half, at 50:43, the Heat led by 7 points. Although the difference in points is not large, the Heat have been steadily controlling the situation. If the Bucks don't have a better way, this game will be dangerous again. "

During the intermission, the Bucks made adjustments. George Karl was really not satisfied with Ray Allen's defense. He decided to replace Cassel to defend Zhang Chen, although he was not as physically fit as Ray Allen. Len, but the defensive toughness is more appreciated by the head coach.

Whether Kassel can guard against Zhang Chen doesn't know, but if he doesn't make a substitution, he will have to kneel again in this game.

Let Ray Allen concentrate on attacking, maybe he can be released.

The Heat also emphasized defense in the locker room, and Pat Riley hoped that Marsh would further reduce the effectiveness of Glenn Robinson's post-ups.

Opening up and allowing Glenn Robinson to play singles is also a tactic that the Bucks play more.

Now Zhang Chen restricted Ray Allen's frontal attack, and if Robinson's offensive efficiency was further reduced, the remaining fast attack in transition by Kassel would not be able to kill the Heat at all.

But what makes Pat Riley more gratified is that in the high-intensity defensive rhythm, Zhang Chen's physical strength is still very good. Unlike Mashburn who sometimes stands on the court to rest, Zhang Chen is the most active player in the team , Such a performance is very reassuring.

After the Bucks changed players to defend him in the second half, Zhang Chen also changed his attacking method.

Cassell is the kind of person who makes a lot of small moves, all kinds of pushing and pulling. If you attack him head-on, he will be very ruthless, and it doesn't matter whether you hit the ball or hit it.

But Zhang Chen's strength advantage remains the same. Even if there are many defensive moves, he will lean in with his back to see what he can do. Besides, Kassel is not as tall as him in height and jumping, and there is no way to directly shoot the opponent.

It seems that the Bucks want to reduce his offensive efficiency, which is ridiculous. He is not the kind of player with a single offense. If you want to limit him, ordinary small moves are useless. You have to keep up with physical fitness.

As for defense, he still chooses to defend Ray Allen. After all, Ray Allen is the first endpoint of the Bucks' offense. To limit the Bucks' offense, Ray Allen must be restricted.

"Zhang Chen's strength, at the position of shooting guard, is really terrifying. It is estimated that there are not enough outside players who can compete with him."

Changing players did not impose much restrictions on Zhang Chen, and the Bucks reached the time when the bet broke out in the fourth quarter.

Originally, the Bucks team scored very explosively, but it was difficult to explode when they met the Heat. They couldn't defend Zhang Chen and Mourning alone, and the Heat's score could not be turned over by offense alone.

At 108:95, the Heat led by 2:0, and the next game will move to Milwaukee.

"Our team will not give up. We have the ability to win the game when we return to the home court." At the press conference after the game, George Karl was tired and unwilling to say more.

Pat Riley is personable, "I have a group of good players, they will always execute tactics well and win the game..."

The reporter asked Zhang Chen which of the Bucks' two defenders made him more uncomfortable.

"I generally don't care who is defending me. I always try my best to win the game. I have a good coach and great teammates, which makes me more confident when facing challenges."

"Three-pointers, that's just a means of scoring. I won't deliberately shoot some three-pointers unless it is necessary."

"I respect every opponent, but my purpose has never changed."

This season, Zhang Chen also got more and more opportunities to attend the post-match press conference, which shows that his status has been more and more recognized.

But what he likes the most is the feeling on the court. Playing against all kinds of players really makes him happy.

Before going to the away game, there was an extra day of adjustment, so Zhang Chen specially had a meal with Zhang Xiaomeng.

Originally, I wanted to know about the team's plan to renew his contract, but I handed it over to Zhang Xiaomeng to discuss it earlier.

But think about it after the game, it is better not to know in advance, Zhang Xiaomeng has not discussed this topic with him, it should be that he has not discussed with the team yet.

"It's a pity that I can't go to the game when you play away. Now I know a lot about basketball."

"It's all my fault for leaving too many things to you. When the playoffs are over, I will go to the company to help."

"This is very good. You have to know how much I envied the boss of the company when I was at work, and now I have finally become the object of my envy."

"It's fine if you're happy, but I'm actually afraid that you won't be used to it."

Chatting with no barriers, eating what you want at will, it feels great after fighting on the court, anyway, he is a different kind of person, of course compared to some guys in the team who are crying and wanting to go to nightclubs to be chic .

For this playoffs, he is fully prepared, and the team in the West is his goal.
