Chapter 111
It is unrealistic for Larry Hughes to explode violently and limit Kidd.

Even if it was Zhang Chen, it would not be able to effectively limit Kidd, a passing master, because passing is always more difficult to defend than scoring.

But Hughes, who has concentrated all his attention and worked hard, is not easily defeated.

As long as Kidd feels a little uncomfortable, Hughes' defense is successful. This is a huge test for him. After taking this step, he will enter a new field. The defense of the defender is not only about steals.

Because of Zhang Chen's existence, the Warriors played a point forward tactic.

He can single out Marion, pass to Jamison, or split to a cutting Larry Hughes, with Blaylock ambush on the perimeter.

In this way, the Suns' offense depends on Kidd's scheduling, and their defense depends on Marion's ability.

In fact, Marion's defense can be said to be almost flawless, why is it almost, because regardless of offense or defense, this kind of thing is not only technique, but momentum is also very important.

His defense lacks a kind of aggression. In this case, it is still difficult to restrain Zhang Chen well. Of course, it is difficult to restrain a player who is comprehensive and smart.

Moreover, the focus of the Suns' style of play is on offense, and the weakness of the Warriors is also on defense. Zhang Chen's method of using personal defense to drive the overall defense is still somewhat effective.

After all, a player's defensive enthusiasm can be driven. As the team's first star, he has such a strong defense, and others naturally dare not slack off.

"The Suns were actually suppressed. Are the Warriors that strong?"

"The Warriors have Zhang Chen. It's hard for Marion to get the ball when he is defended. Zhang Chen's defense is as exciting as his offense."

"MVP, MVP..." In the first game, the Warriors' home arena rang out fans' shouts. Rather than enthusiasm, it was because they waited for a long time and met a player who could make them cheer like this.

"Damn..." Kidd's pass was as sharp as ever, but no matter how good the pass is, his teammates must put the ball into the basket. Facing Larry Hughes, his pass was not affected. How much influence, but his personal offense has become unstable.

He can use his strong body to take on the thinner Hughes alone, but this is not of great help to the entire team. His value is not here. Besides, the guy who defends him is very desperate. Physically exhausting things.

When Kidd felt a little embarrassed, the Suns' smooth offense was gone.

It wasn’t until the time of the rotation that I realized that the Warriors’ bench was even stronger than the Suns. Mark Jackson’s low-post singles were very powerful. Chris Porter, a second-round pick, also showed good quality. Cummings, last year's rookie guard, also has solid basic skills.

"See, our team will be very strong if we integrate well." Zhang Chen chatted with his teammates next to him, and his confidence increased a bit. The Suns were last year's playoff team, although it was only the regular season The first game, but the reference value is still good.

At halftime, 53:47, they returned to the dugout with a six-point advantage.

"Everyone work hard and win the game." Zhang Chen felt very good when he took the lead in saying this.

He is also very good at leading the team forward, and the new journey starts from this game.

A 6-point difference is not very safe, so Zhang Chen stepped up his offense at the beginning of the second half.

"Zhang Chen hit Marion with his back again, and Marion tried his best to block the shot, but it was still a little bit short."

"Marion is too close. Zhang Chen's tentative step seems to be more intense. He just passed the opponent in one step. I have to say that the Suns' defense ability inside is too poor. The team with the strongest defense ability After Marion defends Zhang Chen, as long as he is broken through, no one can help him."

"There are not many players who can restrain Zhang Chen. If there is no help defense in the interior, players of his level may be able to ask for it. The Suns must make up their minds as soon as possible, whether to attack or not."

"Concentrate, stick to their players, don't watch the game." Zhang Chen loudly reminded the team's defense, as long as he opened his mouth to remind the team, he would get used to it. Players who have won honors and set an example can also shout More convincing.

There is no doubt that compared to offense, as long as the Warriors do a good job of defense, the team can immediately upgrade to a level. Driven by him, at least the momentum has risen.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was playing more and more smoothly, the Suns finally couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't want to lose in the first game of the new season.

As long as he catches the ball, it's a double attack.

And Zhang Chen didn't force it, the Warriors didn't lack attackers, he greeted both Jamison and Larry Hughes, "Then it's up to you to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop."

Zhang Chen is very sure about whether his teammates can handle the other party, because it will soon be the time when the momentum is like a rainbow.

"Zhang Chen put the ball straight to Jamison, and Jamison turned and moved laterally and made a half-hook throw."

"Zhang Chen faced a flanking attack and crossed the ball to Larry Hughes on the other side. Larry Hughes went straight to the basket and succeeded in picking the basket against the supplementary defense. The referee whistle sounded and it was 2+1. "

"Zhang Chen increased the pass, and the success of other Warriors players is also very strong. It is hard to imagine that the Warriors can play such an efficient attack. If this continues, Jamison and Larry Hughes may also score 20 points."

"Just looking at this game, I think what Zhang Chen said is right. Jamison and Larry Hughes also have amazing talents. The Warriors may really be something to look forward to."

"Good job, do you feel that confidence is pouring out continuously, and there is inexhaustible strength all over your body." Zhang Chen stepped forward to high-five Jamison and Hughes respectively. The two had just completed an exquisite cooperation. Hughes After the breakthrough, he assisted Jamison to complete the alley-oop.

Neither of them spoke. Jamison smiled like a gentleman, while Hughes nodded heavily, but there was rare excitement in the eyes of both of them.

The Suns were defeated like a mountain. If they didn't flank Zhang Chen, he could play as much as he wanted.

By the halfway point of the fourth game, the Suns had given up on defense, and five players who could shoot [-]-pointers were a wild shot.

"They can't hold it anymore, prevent their shots, and the victory is ours."

Facing the already excited Warriors, the Suns had no choice but to swallow their first defeat of the season.

In the Warriors' first game of the regular season, Zhang Chen performed very dazzlingly, scoring a large double-double with 31 points and 15 assists, helping the Warriors win their first win of the new season 106:92.

When the whistle of the game ended, several young people hugged each other excitedly.

Everyone has won before, but it is really rare to win so freely.

The point is that they see hope, and together they can do things that they couldn't do before. For young people, there is nothing more attractive than hope.

After winning the game, Zhang Chen was also full of confidence in the post-match press conference.

"Winning the Suns, I think it's normal, they are a very good team, but we are stronger, that's it, there are never flukes in the game."

"About Antoine and Larry, they are improving tomorrow. With their strength, it is not difficult to score 20 points per game, but our goal is not to score points for each of them. Victory is the only thing. To win, I don't hesitate to make sacrifices, and so do my teammates."

"What I mean is that we will continue to win. It's too early to talk about how many games we won in a row. It's impossible to say that we won't lose. Anyway, the winning percentage will always stay in the top eight in the Western Conference."

Zhang Chen answered the question in the same tone as always, which caused many media to ridicule him the next day that he didn't know his last name after winning a game.

However, some media also expressed their expectations for the Warriors. For example, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote an article saying that with the addition of Zhang Chen, the Warriors are likely to be a blockbuster this season, and the two new stars, Larry Hughes and Jamison, will also rise. rise.

In the Warriors arena, the players are sweating profusely.

Head coach Dave Cowens is still easy to talk about, but the intensity of training is not very easy to talk about.

He himself is in his sixties, so he can maintain a good body, so you can imagine how strict his requirements are for such things as training.

"Larry, to be honest, you should do more strength training and gain some weight, so that you won't suffer in the confrontation, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it with your style of play." Zhang Chen's communication with other teammates is also getting stronger and stronger. many.

The fact that most of the Warriors are young is also a reason. There were basically no young people when they were in the Heat, and there were not many topics to talk about together.

If someone had said this to him before, Larry Hughes would have been a little disgusted and thought it was pointing at him.

But during this period of time, he had a lot of contact with Zhang Chen, and he also felt like a friend, so he nodded for the first time.

"That's good. We can practice together and bring Antoine along. If he doesn't train to be stronger, he will suffer from the muscles on the inside."

Generally, after the training, the three of them will communicate with each other. They are all able to play in multiple positions. This kind of communication has real benefits.

"Let's talk about what we should do next game."

"In the next game, Antoine is the most troublesome, but I am more relaxed. How about you switch to the first position?"

"No problem, we are competing, I don't believe it will be the same as the first match."

One person will choose one in each game, depending on the efficiency of the offensive and defensive ends, and the competition between the three is also an idea that Zhang Chen came up with. Playing games and internal competition together, I am more interested in this Larry Hughes.

If this mutual supervision and competition relationship develops in a healthy way and infects other players, Zhang Chen feels that the Warriors will definitely get better and better.
