new lord of the rings

Chapter 514 The unique dominance in history!
With about two and a half minutes left, Zhang Xin has scored 53 points!
Pause back.

The offense arranged by coach D'Antoni was still initiated by Harden. No matter what, whether Harden was tired or not, Harden had to hold on for the last two and a half minutes, and so did Chris Paul.

Rocket right.

Paul dribbled the ball halfway, Harden responded at the top of the arc, Paul gave the ball to Harden, Zhang Xin saw that Harden was holding the ball, and immediately went up to pester Harden to prevent Harden from easily opening the space to break through. Zhang Xin's distance, Capela went up to help Harden pick and roll, half pick and half pull to separate Zhang Xin and Harden.

Only then did Harden free up space to start. Facing Olynyk who switched defenses, Harden had more ways to do it. Harden dribbled the ball under his crotch, directly broke through Olynyk and rushed to the basket, Kuzma and Tower Ke went to help defend, but after all, it was a little slower, and Harden made a layup.

Zhang Xin received Olynik's serve, turned around and passed the half court quickly, Ariza followed Zhang Xin with great effort, his physical strength was also exhausted, the rotation was less and the frequency was not high, and Zhang Xin was defending, Zhang Xin The speed is fast and the confrontation is strong. The key is that he has been running throughout the game. It is strange that he is not tired.

When Zhang Xin does not hold the ball, he needs to observe a lot. On the contrary, when he holds the ball, he basically creates opportunities. This is what he is best at. He can either shoot singles or break through to attract flanking attacks. People, this is almost a matter that does not require too much brainpower, but compared to Zhang Xin, it is really not easy for some people.

Facing Ariza's defense, Zhang Xin didn't rush to call a pick-and-roll, and directed his teammates to open the space, and then Kuz immediately came to the pick-and-roll. The reason why Kuzma came to the pick-and-roll immediately was not because Kuzma's pick-and-roll quality was better, but It's because Kuzma's finishing ability is stronger, and Zhang Xin doesn't need a high-quality pick-and-roll. He only needs to block a little, and then the moment when he can clear people is enough.

Kuzma took a block and then rolled down immediately. Ariza did not dare to let Kuzma go. Kuzma not only has a three-pointer, he can also make a mid-range shot and a breakthrough layup. If Kuzma is released, it is equivalent to sending points. So Ali Zha can only follow Kuzma down.

Ba Mote rushed forward to stop Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin predicted Ba Mote's movement, took a light step forward, and left Ba Mote behind him. Ba Mote was shocked and quickly stepped back. Zhang Xin withdrew left to the three-point line. Mbah a Moute had no way to keep up with Zhang Xin's footsteps because of his big step back. Zhang Xin left a big gap on the three-point line!

This kind of vacancy is really too simple for Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin raises his hand and shoots without even adjusting. The basketball spins rapidly in the air and then plunges into the basket.

"Tough! This ball!...Harden's high pick-and-roll went to the basket and scored two points. Zhang Xin immediately hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. The point difference was forced to close again. Now the point difference is only 2 points !” Wang Meng praised.

"Chang Xin is really not afraid of anyone for key shots. This reminds me of a sentence I saw in a Hong Kong movie: I am not targeting someone. I mean that everyone here is rubbish! Of course it does not mean that the key ball ability of other players in the league is rubbish. , but compared to Zhang Xin, other people's key ball ability is not enough." Yang Yi said.

Harden's heart tightened, and he quickly passed the halftime. Paul passed the halftime under the cover of Capela, and Hilde kept pestering Paul. If Paul passed by speeding up at ordinary times, there would be no need to get stuck. Pella helped the half-court one after the other, but now Paul is obviously tired, and it is a little bit to save some energy. I don't know if he needs to contribute for a while.

Paul gave the ball to Harden as soon as halftime passed. This was coach D'Antoni's tactic, and it was also the most suitable style of play for the Rockets. The key ball still had to be played by a superstar!
Harden catches the ball and avoids Zhang Xin's lunge, and protects the ball tightly. Zhang Xin's lunge is not a risky gambling defense. If you can't get the ball, Harden will not find a chance to pass. On the contrary, Harden will not care about observing the defense in order to protect the ball. This defensive method is called aggressive defense.

Zhang Xin kept interfering with Harden. Harden could only lower his head, use the top of his head to press against Zhang Xin, and then observe the position of Zhang Xin's hands. Harden wanted to use his trick to make Zhang Xin a foul, but Zhang Xin's The defense only uses the body, the movement of the hands is like lightning, stretching and shrinking, it will never let Harden seize the opportunity to make a foul, and will not let Harden easily hold the ball.

Seeing that there was no way for Harden to get rid of Zhang Xin, he could only wait for Capela to come over for the pick-and-roll. Capela was not too full. Harden breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped out with a brisk step, grabbed the basketball before Harden, grabbed it with his hand, and threw it forward to start a conversion attack!
Harden rushed to catch up, but the position where he was intercepted was the top of the arc. It took only a few steps for Zhang Xin to reach the three-point line. Return!

The cheers of the Houston Rockets fans gradually stopped, the corners of their mouths dropped and their brows were frowned. The female fans held the white rabbit with a look of suffocation. No wonder they made a fuss. In the last few rounds, Zhang Xin scored 14 points alone. !3 points in less than 14 minutes!
Zhang Xin, the king of the last quarter!

Zhang Xin's score has reached 59 points. It seems that tonight is another 60+ triple-double night. Before Zhang Xin, Michael Jordan's 63 points in the playoffs used to be the highest score in the playoffs, but after Zhang Xin , Not to mention simply scoring 60, there are too many [-]+ triple-doubles!

"It's amazing, this is the Western Conference Finals! I scored 3 points in less than 14 minutes, and I have already scored 59 points, 11 assists and 14 rebounds before the game was over. This is really terrifying. Zhang Xin, the king of the competition, deserves his reputation, and so does Zhang Xin, the king of the last quarter!" Yang Yi smacked his mouth, it was really amazing!
"Zhang Xin's reign of terror can be seen. I have been a fan for decades. I have watched the games of great players such as Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and McGrady. In terms of impact on the game, even Michael Jordan can’t compare to Zhang Xin’s dominance of the game! It can almost be said that Zhang Xin’s dominance over the game is definitely the only one in NBA history, and Michael Jordan is next!”

Wang Meng spoke highly of Zhang Xin, but Tencent Sports fans didn't feel that Wang Meng's words were exaggerated. In the eyes of Chinese fans, Zhang Xin is indeed very powerful.
