Chapter 123 Tired is Lucky
Zhang Chen only guarded Kidd once, because the state of absolute control can only be used once, but once is enough.

"It's unimaginable that Kidd would make a mistake at such a critical moment."

"Maybe Kidd is not the most suitable point guard for the Suns. The Suns need a crazier passer so that the team's offense can turn faster. Kidd is too rational."

Causing Kidd to make a mistake, and then hit a desperate three-pointer, Zhang Chen once again showed his strength as the strongest key man.

At 80:75, the Warriors won this unglamorous game.

Zhang Chen had 38 points and 14 assists, and Jamison had 27 points and 12 rebounds. These data seemed to tell other opponents that the Warriors could win the game even with just the two of them.

After winning the game, they couldn't relax, because they had to return to the home court the next day to end the challenge of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are also a team with playoff strength. Don't want to play defense with the opponent.

Offense, on offense, is the Warriors' plan for this game.

Zhang Chen is at the [-]nd position and Jamison is at the [-]rd position. It is an offense. If Garnett dares to go to the small forward position to defend Jamison, then Mark Jackson will go to their inside singles. ", the rest of the players are weak chickens.

On offense, the Timberwolves still have a few players on the outside, but on defense, except for Garnett who has two brushes, no one else can defend Zhang Chen and Jamison. To be more precise, Garnett can deal with Jamison. But none of their team could defend Zhang Chen.

At the beginning of the game, Garnett was not released because Jamison was in the third position.

Facing a completely ordinary defense, Zhang Chen and Jamison showed their prowess. On the other hand, Garnett also wanted to attack.

The two sides have completely put on a posture of an offensive battle, and the team's defense can almost be ignored.

All kinds of fast breaks, all kinds of open shots, the scores on both sides are going up.

But soon the Timberwolves found out that they couldn't win against the Warriors like this. Although the Warriors can't defend well, Zhang Chen and Jamison's personal defense is still good. Needless to say, Zhang Chen, Jamison is also good against Szczerbiak unambiguous.

As for Garnett, send a rough guy to bother him, and he can score as much as he wants.

"Zhang Chen broke through and passed to the bottom corner. Jamison made a three-pointer and hit the center of the basket."

"Zhang Chen ran back and hit two points steadily after receiving the ball. The Timberwolves' defense was full of loopholes."

"This time, Jamison found Zhang Chen who slipped to the basket, and Zhang Chen made an easy backhand layup."

Before the end of the first quarter, the Warriors scored 31 points, and the Timberwolves quickly requested a timeout.

Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders is not a good defensive coach, but now he also sees that the team's defensive problems are too big.

Let Garnett to defend Jamison, can solve one is one, is the solution he can think of for the time being.

Coming out could limit Jamison, but Zhang Chen rushed in immediately and dunked one.

"MVP, MVP..." The fans at home were excited.

People on the team were injured one after another, and they all thought that the Warriors would be in a slump during this period of time. Who would have thought that Zhang Chen would have such a strong combat power with the remnants of the team, which can be said to be an extra surprise for the fans.

At 35:27, the first quarter ended, and the Warriors led by 8 points.

"The opponent's defense is not strong. We can't do what they do at home and try to cause trouble for them to score. The victory belongs to us."

Having said that, Zhang Chen didn't let Jamieson go to Garnett's trouble. Since this effect can be achieved by not paying attention to him, they just need to stick to it.

That's the way it is with leading the score, you can wait for the opponent to make the first move, and then see the move.

"Stop him, don't let him shoot so easily." Garnett yelled at his teammates excitedly when he saw Zhang Chen get a chance to face the basket with a simple pick-and-roll.

This is already his sixth year in the Timberwolves. Although he is still very young, he is already an absolute boss. If the team still needs him to guard the inside, he would like to defend Zhang Chen himself.

The team is always up and down. To be honest, Garnett is very depressed.

Now they lose when they meet a team with top insiders, and they also lose when they meet a team with top outsiders.

Although the Warriors don't look very strong now, they also have top perimeter players.

But even if Garnett loses his temper, if Zhang Chen chooses to shoot from the outside, there is nothing he can do.

Unable to effectively defend, the Timberwolves can only block the outcome on offense, and Garnett simply sits on the inside and cannot come out. If you want to attack in the three-second zone, his long arms will not let you go.

At this time, he can only hope that the Warriors' outside shots are not so accurate.

But the Warriors, who received less interference and shot more openly from the beginning, had a very good shooting percentage from the outside in this game.

Garnett can only keep asking for the ball, turning around and jumping around the three-second zone, and going in for a dunk from time to time, using scoring to relieve the pain of defense.

"Antoine, let's speed up our offense." By speeding up the pace of offense, we can focus more on defense and consume the opponent.

What's more, in the transition from offense to defense, it is impossible for Garnett to return to the defense like an outside line, so he will have the opportunity to directly rush in to the blue, which can increase the success rate of the offense.

At halftime, the Warriors had a 62-point lead at 50:12.

The players in the locker room are full of smiles, and the feeling of leading is cool.

On the other side, Garnett's face was so heavy that it was dripping water. After their coach Philip Sanders emphasized the defense without nutrition, he began to talk about the problem of better offense, "their shooting percentage It’s impossible to be so high all the time, we’ll increase the success rate around Kevin, they can’t defend against our offense, they should be more confident, run more aggressively, 12 points is not too much.”

It is impossible for the shooting percentage to be high all the time, but as long as it is high for a certain period of time, it is enough. For example, Zhang Chen has not encountered a better defensive player, and it will not be too low. After all, the strength lies there.

So the idea of ​​​​the Timberwolves is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

Garnett worked very hard, and the score between the two sides once returned to single digits, but soon Zhang Chen made a few very stable mid-range shots, widening the gap again.

"The Warriors took the initiative completely. Garnett received too little support and played too hard."

"Zhang Chen's defense on the outside is really good. The efficiency of ordinary outside players will be greatly reduced when they encounter him. In this game, he almost cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the Timberwolves."

"Actually, the main thing is to attack. I think if the Warriors are bombarded, the attack must be very strong."

"They actually have this tradition, but Zhang Chen seems to prefer to play in positional warfare."

"Maybe he didn't meet a good bombardment coach. Looking at the offensive power of the Warriors in this game, the Timberwolves feel like they are about to raise their hands and surrender."

Zhang Chen didn't know that their performance had aroused the interest of the commentator. He had been encouraging his teammates to run. After the game, they had a few days to adjust, which was enough to sum up November.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors' offensive rhythm further accelerated under the state of momentum, and the Timberwolves completely lost their fighting spirit. At the last moment, it almost became the Warriors' offensive performance.

At 114:93, Zhang Chen broke out and scored 51 points in this game, which also allowed him to enter the top five scoring list with an average of nearly 28 points per game. This is the first time he entered this list.

And before the team's lineup is in order, he needs to continue to explode his scoring ability. Maybe soon, his ranking on the scoring list will move up a bit.

Zhang Chen and Jamison led the team to win back-to-back games, which directly swollen the faces of many guys who said that the Warriors would lose in a row.

"I said that injuries have a great impact on the team, but it doesn't mean that we will give up the idea of ​​pursuing victory. We must pursue victory on the court. This is a very simple path. Unfortunately, many people don't understand it. They just make a lot of excuses, but the Warriors never do."

"About Antoine's excellence, I have said it long ago. There is no doubt about it. The brothers on the team are all working hard. They are not weak to enter this league. The desire to win will make them stronger quickly."

"When the lineup is in order, we will become stronger and not afraid of any team."

The next game is at the end of the month, and there are four days to adjust in the middle. In order to relieve the fatigue of the players during this period, the team also took a day off.

It was supposed to be a break time, but there was still the sound of rebounds hitting the floor in the team's training ground.

"I said, can't you have some other spare time life?"

Zhang Chen turned around, but it was Jamison who was dressed casually.

"Aventis, it's just in time to come, let's have fun together." Zhang Chen is really not used to any spare time life. In essence, he is still not used to other things in the United States except basketball.

"Shit, do you think everyone is like you, find a girlfriend when you have time, there is nothing wrong with your orientation, right?"

"You have a problem with your orientation. You must have come here because your amateur life hasn't started yet. Let's practice the ball first, and then we can go heads-up for a few sets."

"I'm afraid of you, so I'll practice with you. Anyway, the place to eat with someone is nearby, just for a while. I'm not a training freak like you."

Jamison left after practicing for a while, and Zhang Chen went on alone. Now if he doesn't practice for a day, he will feel a little uncomfortable.

Others will never know how lucky he is to be in the NBA.

So tired is also happy, so I can feel that this is not a dream.

He must continue to lead the team to victory and go all out, so that there will be no regrets in this life.

On November 11th, as a guest in Los Angeles, Zhang Chen hopes that November will have a perfect end.
