Chapter 126 Warriors Will Not Fall
Just after satirizing Kobe's brute force, Zhang Chen decisively moved the opponent away after catching the ball and hit a mid-range shot.

Scoring is not called using brute force, but scoring is called rational use of the body.

However, Kobe really didn't need to play the trick of using one's own way to return to another's own. Everyone has their own offensive methods, anyway, Zhang Chen will not deliberately learn from him.

The confrontation between Zhang Chen and Kobe was only part of the game. In fact, even if the Warriors deliberately played fast, it would be difficult for the Lakers to attack easily after they reacted.

O'Neal continued to have no solution in the paint, and the Lakers gradually took the initiative on the scene after a little discomfort at the beginning.

Facing Kobe, who was aggressive on both offense and defense, Zhang Chen did not immediately get entangled with the opponent. The heavy responsibility of offense was temporarily handed over to Jamison. Now as long as the opponent does not stretch the score too much, the key still depends on the second half critical moment.

In addition to the two core players of the Lakers, the other players actually do not have strong independent offensive ability. Under Zhang Chen's marking, Kobe's ability to involve the outside line has weakened a lot, and the opportunities for other outside players will naturally be less. The Warriors are weak inside, and now O'Neal is mainly playing singles.

"The Warriors need a qualified center, even if it's a defensive one. If they want to achieve results in the West, it's not enough to have outside firepower."

"They should be actively looking for deals, while their record isn't too bad."

Although the scene seems to be more and more favorable for the Lakers, Kobe felt a hint of conspiracy. Zhang Chen, who was facing him, definitely did not have full firepower. May play so calmly.

"There must be a ghost." He became more cautious, Zhang Chen is not a good person, and he will definitely do something.

But don't be that disgusting old cliché, he also thinks that he can do whatever it takes to win, but if the opponent chooses to kill O'Neill, he can't help at all. He doesn't like the feeling of letting others decide the outcome of the game.

And another member of the Warriors is also very annoying. There is really no one on the Lakers' front line that can limit Jamison. His scoring efficiency is very high now.

Kobe finished halftime with mixed emotions, but found that the Warriors were performing normally. He was a little suspicious that he was overthinking. Maybe the Warriors just wanted to play offensively, and Zhang Chen and Jamison also wanted to fight with them. strength.

He will not lose. When he walked into the locker room, he was still fighting high.

In the Warriors locker room, the players are gathering together, listening to the head coach's arrangement.

Zhang Chen often discusses tactics with the coach now, so in general games, the coach's tactical arrangements are closer to his ideas.

"Listen, foul him as soon as you go up, don't hesitate." Dave Cowens said with a tactical board in his hand.

The internal strength is not enough, and O'Neal has this shortcoming, how could they not use it.

It's just that they made two-handed preparations, first defending against others and letting O'Neal play. Even if his free throws exceeded everyone's expectations, he could still double-team.

Anyway, in the second half, O'Neal didn't even think about attacking properly, he either made free throws or passed the ball.

In fact, this style of play tests the offensive efficiency of their own team. If their offensive efficiency is not good, even if O'Neal does not make free throws, the Lakers can still increase their points.

Jamieson didn't know that Zhang Chen was very experienced in this kind of intermittent game anyway, so it basically wouldn't affect his feel.

In the second half, it was the Warriors who took the lead in attacking. Jamison made a mid-range shot, which looked no different from the first half.

But as soon as the Lakers sent the ball out, O'Neal was hugged by the Warriors inside.

Kobe uttered a swear word at the time, and his reaction was even greater than O'Neal who was fouled.

He was very depressed, couldn't these people think of some fresh moves, he knew that if O'Neal couldn't make free throws beyond his normal performance, other Lakers players could only participate in defense during this time.

Calling fouls on players without the ball is really painful.

"Based on your strength, I don't understand why you still use this method." Kobe said angrily. He felt that watching O'Neal make free throws was more painful than O'Neal.

"Is there any problem with this method? It has nothing to do with my strength, it only has to do with your strength." On the court, Zhang Chen has always had a thick skin.

O'Neal's free throws today are pretty normal, what is called normal is about [-]% of his shots.

In this situation, if the Warriors can score 2 points in one attack, they must succeed in one of two attacks to ensure that the offense against the opponent can be planned. Therefore, the tactic of cutting people is not so fun. You must ensure your own offense when you attack others. It can explode, otherwise it is courting death.

This is the reason why many teams have played the trick of hacking the shark this season, but still can't beat the Lakers.

Although the offensive success rate is not equal to the shooting rate, it is also quite close. A 50% success rate is a statistic that is difficult to achieve. Therefore, after entering the third quarter and starting to use the shark-slashing tactic, Zhang Chen started to attack. It's working hard.

The depressed Kobe also put all his energy on defense.

"Zhang Chen's low-post singles, his horizontal hook after squeezing into the three-second zone, and his inside skills are also very good."

"It's Zhang Chen again. With this pace, the Warriors can actually consider letting him go inside."

"Zhang Chen attracts the ball after the defense, and Jamison hits a three-pointer. Many teams now have tall pitchers. They rely on their height to shoot unscrupulously from the outside, but Jamison is obviously not just a single-function pitcher. A player from North Carolina, he is almost proficient in all kinds of scoring methods."

In order to increase the success rate, Zhang Chen chooses to be closer to the basket. The Warriors’ inside Mark Jackson has a relatively large attack range. He pulls out to make room for Zhang Chen in the low post. He can't flank, otherwise Kobe wouldn't be able to defend the opponent's first scoring point, and the Lakers also believe in his single-defense ability if he wants to defend.

From the effect point of view, Zhang Chen is leading the Warriors to slowly chase points with the exhaustion of his physical strength.

In other words, the effect of cutting O'Neal is not very obvious. If O'Neal suddenly hits a few rounds and the cooperative Warriors do not attack, they will stop here for this game.

As for giving up the foul, it is definitely impossible for the time being, as long as there is a chance, he will continue, and in this way Zhang Chen can concentrate on attacking without needing to consume energy on the defensive end.

You know, defending Kobe can't relax a bit.

The rhythm of the game has become very unsmooth, but the Warriors fans at home are still loudly cheering for the team, because they see the hope of victory.

If they are fans who really like this team, they will not care whether the team's tactics are ugly or gorgeous, and they will support it if they can bring the team victory.

The Warriors slowly caught up, but the Lakers didn't care, so they didn't change O'Neal.

But when the Warriors tied the score, O'Neal suddenly made a few more rounds. At this time, not only was he annoyed by being chopped, but he was also annoyed by the slashing, because everyone needed to focus on O'Neal's free throws, and he became the player who decided the victory. .

At 97:100, after the third quarter, the Warriors were still 3 points behind, but this is already a good result, and because of the addition of a lot of offensive rounds, the score of the two teams is as if four quarters have been played.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers attacked first. After halftime, they found that the opponent hadn't cut O'Neal.

O'Neal's mental quality is also good, and he immediately reached out for the ball.

After catching the ball, he pouted his big butt, turned around and made a small hook.

The ball hit the rim and bounced out, and the Warriors received a rebound, but instead of continuing the fast play in the first half, they let Zhang Chen continue to play in the low post.

The Lakers didn't understand why their opponents did this at all. They chose to restrain their quick hits in the first half, and even used the despicable tactic of hacking sharks in the third quarter. They didn't expect to play against them honestly in the fourth quarter. Could it be The brain finds out, or there is something wrong with the brain.

Zhang Chen scored, but the Lakers did not panic, this is their familiar rhythm.

O'Neal's hook didn't go in again, and the Lakers didn't think it was a big problem. It probably took a few rounds to recover the touch. On the third attack, O'Neal squeezed in and dunked directly. The Lakers felt that this guy was really reliable.

But it’s impossible to dunk every attack. When O’Neal shot and hit the iron again, they finally noticed something was wrong. Kobe began to strengthen the offense on the outside, but his offensive efficiency also became poor. I don’t know if it’s a cold or Zhang Chen. The defense is too good.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers found that all of their players were not feeling well.

While strengthening their defense, they cursed secretly. It was the Warriors who cut O'Neal, which made their hands cold.

Only Zhang Chen knows that this is the efficiency of the status seal.

This skill is really easy to use, but he also lamented the strength of the Lakers. The opponent is desperate, and since the state is in a slump, they can't kill each other in one wave.

Breaking through from the outside and shooting closer to the basket from the inside, a team like the Lakers will not give up because of a low shooting percentage, and the game has become extremely fierce.

"It's Zhang Chen and Jamison's cooperation again. Their skills are really outstanding."

"After blocking the shot, Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer. This shot can be said to be a death sentence for the Lakers."

"Kobe didn't give up. He tried hard to get rid of the defense. He made an extremely difficult three-pointer and hit the buzzer. Unfortunately, this was the whistle at the end of the game. Even if he hit the three-pointer at the buzzer, it couldn't change the fact that the game was lost."

125:122, the Warriors fought the whole game and finally won this meaningful victory.

Zhang Chen scored 50 points and Jamison scored 40 points. They told everyone that the Warriors would not fall.
