Chapter 116 The Victory of Firm Confidence

"In the last attack of the Warriors in the first half, Zhang Chen pressed time near the middle circle. In front of him, the defender has become Christie."

"Zhang Chen finally launched an attack. Christie's defensive footsteps are very good. He blocked Zhang Chen's advance route... Hit, unfortunately, Zhang Chen's mid-range shot is very stable, even if this unreasonable mid-range shot at the buzzer , the halftime game ended, 60:59, the Warriors led by 1 point and entered the intermission."

A one-point lead is nothing, but it's a form of confidence.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the locker room was different. The players were obviously much more excited than before the start of the game.

But there are also those who are disappointed. Zhang Chen walked up to Jamison who was sitting silently on the chair, "It's no problem. On the offensive end, you just hit him hard."

Webb scored 20 points in the half, even if he had mentally prepared before, Jamison was still a little frustrated.

"No problem." But even if he is frustrated, he will work hard, after all, the team's situation is indeed developing in a favorable direction.

"Work harder and win this game." When he walked to the court again, Zhang Chen stood up to mobilize the atmosphere of the team, and he was already very skilled.

The defensive player standing in front of him in the second half was replaced by Doug Christie, the king's top defender, just like the last shot in the first half.

I thought the Kings would make adjustments earlier, but I didn't expect to change players to defend at this time. The Kings are all focused on offense, which is indeed true.

Of course, the Kings also have their concerns. All of their third positions are taller than 2 meters. It is difficult to defend the opponent's second position, but there is always a choice to be made. Zhang Chen is obviously the biggest threat.

Due to the competition between Zhang Chen and Carter, when they were both in the Eastern Conference, they rarely faced each other directly. Christie is the type of technical defensive master who reads the actions of offensive players and makes predictions in advance.

For this kind of defensive player, Zhang Chen is not very worried. Even if he knows what he is going to do, he can't stop him. Zhang Chen has obviously entered this series.

In fact, if Christie's defensive skills were better, he could really cause trouble for Zhang Chen, but there are too few players who have both of them.

So since the opponent is playing with skills, he will play with his body, push with his back, and after two steps, he will turn over and make a jumper, which still hits, which arouses warm cheers from the fans.

"Larry, it's time for you to show your skills and take down all these big pitchers."

In the first half, Larry Hughes and Christie restricted each other. Now that the opponent has switched defenses, Larry Hughes can also let go of the breakthrough, but the Warriors did not change the defensive end. The Kings want to motivate the top three. The offense is not the door.

Although Larry Hughes' shooting is average, he definitely has a breakthrough skill, otherwise he would not be able to average 20 points per game.

So as the referee blew his whistle, Peja, who just came up to show his face in the second half, returned to the bench with a depressed face.

Due to the Warriors' defensive emphasis, many of the Kings' offenses have become inside singles. Webber and Divac's personal data are good, but they did not play the usual gorgeous offense this time.

Moreover, due to too many singles, their physical energy consumption is also greater than usual, and the defense, which is not very focused, is even more ordinary. It is just a gentleman to say, you can attack as you like.

Under such circumstances, Jamison and Mark Jackson also played their offensive power.

While Zhang Chen reduced his offense, the Warriors' entire offense was revitalized.

The Warriors' defense has not weakened, but the Kings' defense has weakened. Under the ebb and flow, the advantage is slowly moving towards the Warriors.

But according to the Kings' style of play, even if there are problems on defense, they will still attack with all their strength.

"Concentrate on the opponent's players. If you persist for a while, the opponent will not be able to hold on."

When the score is stalemate, it depends on who lasts. It can be said that the Kings can't defend the three major scoring weapons of the Warriors, especially Webber's side. Jamison has been depressed for so long. return.

"Unexpectedly, the offensive power of the warrior is not much better than that of the king."

"The king's game was originally about fighting against the opponent. What is surprising is that the defense of the Warriors has really improved a lot under the leadership of Zhang Chen."

The Kings gave up defense and went all out to attack, at least in a short period of time, it was effective, and the Warriors still had no way to open the score for the time being.

But one side is already working hard, but the core of one side is becoming more and more leisurely. The score that seems to be still stalemate, in fact, the king's side is already precarious.

What Zhang Chen had to do was to increase his strength. At the end of the third quarter, he started low-post singles. Even if the Kings had poor defense, he had to keep putting pressure on them. Only in the fourth quarter could it be easier for his teammates to score.

"It's a hit again. Zhang Chen's offensive moves are simple but very practical. He has a lot of offensive weapons, but when facing the same opponent, he often knocks them down with one move."

"I don't know if Weber will respond. It's a pity that his very well-positioned mid-range shot just missed."

Webber is indeed a little tired. Usually when he scores so easily, he should have crushed the opponent long ago, but this game is different. He now feels that as long as he can't hit the next goal, maybe they will be crushed by the opponent .

Jamison also put a lot of pressure on him in the offense. The opponent's attack range is as large as that of the small forward. He is really powerless under his current physical strength.

The opponents have started to score, and the Kings seem to have stopped scoring except for him. This is a very serious problem for their team.

He hit Jamison with his back again. He used this trick with great proficiency. He cheated with footsteps and fake moves, and then turned around to shoot. Generally speaking, 2 points are appropriate.

But this time, he felt that the opponent suddenly became tougher. Originally, this was nothing. This kind of defense still couldn't pose too much threat to him, but the change in rhythm made his shot inexplicably soft, and he missed. It's nothing, no one can score the ball, but this is the critical moment to bite the score, he has a feeling that the previous points are all for nothing.

As for Zhang Chen, the score has come to 88:80, which is not a big deal for the Kings, but in this game, they are really not sure that they can get back even if they score in double figures.

Therefore, they are now almost determined at the last moment.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference did not end up in double figures. The players of the Kings breathed a sigh of relief and could finally adjust. This quarter was really difficult.

Their head coach Adelman has been telling the players to increase the movement of the ball and play out the team's tactics, so that the Warriors can be wiped out in one wave.

But whether the tactics can be played out, in addition to the players on your own side, the opponent's defense is very important. The Warriors may not have a lot of defense overall, but their defensive method in this game obviously limits the Princeton system. In the end, it is even more impossible for foreign countries to play a smooth offense.

But the Warriors themselves can play a smooth offense. In the fourth quarter, they attacked for the first time. Zhang Chen took the ball with his back. With one throw, Larry Hughes who cut in received the ball and it was a dunk.

While a simple fit, it works as well as any complex fit.

Every fourth quarter is when Zhang Chen's assists increase and the team is fully blooming, but he still attracts the most defensive attention, because he is a player who never relents at critical moments.

The Warriors' offense is getting better and better, and the Kings are completely restless.

Whether it is an individual attack or a dazzling teamwork, both are good when things are going well, and it is easy to worry about gains and losses when things are not going well.

At the request of the coach, the number of passes and runs was forcibly increased. Opportunities did come out, but mistakes also came out. Zhang Chen, Larry Hughes, Jamison, and Blaylock are all masters of steals , At this time, their fight against Princeton has become a burden.

There is such a risk in complex tactics. Once something goes wrong, there will be problems everywhere.

In the end, they still need Webber's low post.

But the score gap has reached double digits, and Webber's efficiency is not as good as it was at the beginning.

It gives people the feeling that the Kings panicked when they came up in the fourth quarter. They wanted to make a fuss, but they were countered by the Warriors. It was too late to rescue them.

At 121:109, the Warriors finally won the battle, and Zhang Chen also fulfilled his promise of victory.

"Thanks to the team, thanks to the efforts of all teammates, especially Antoine, his defense is not as bad as this performance, in order to limit the king's offense, he made sacrifices."

"Once again, the Warriors are really strong and we have a group of players who are eager to win."

When interviewed after the game, Zhang Chen was also very excited.

In fact, when he came up with these tricks, he was not sure whether he could really limit the Kings.

In fact, they couldn't do better. This game not only gave great confidence to the other teams of the Warriors, but also gave Zhang Chen a lot of confidence in himself.

And this kind of victory does not come out of thin air, but through the efforts of all players to defeat the team that just defeated them.

Strengthening confidence and letting everyone have a correct fighting attitude is the most important thing, which is a hundred times more important than winning a game.

The next period of time will be relatively intensive. Zhang Chen hopes to use this momentum to help the team win more victories, proving that the Warriors this season are truly reborn.
