Chapter 127 Rebound
After stopping the losing streak, the Warriors proved their determination and their strength.

There is no doubt that even the remaining warriors still have the strength of the top eight in the West, and they can still beat the teams ranked ahead of them.

At the same time as the victory, Kobe's three-pointer at the last moment also reminded Zhang Chen that some players, even if they are affected by the system, are still very threatening. The performance of the Lakers in the last quarter also showed that they cannot completely rely on their opponents.

Like hacking the shark, it is just a means, a means to create opportunities in a non-mainstream way, but to grasp this opportunity, it absolutely requires hard work and strength.

In this game, Larry Hughes, who could only come to watch the game, was also very excited.

"I can't wait to come back, you guys played too hard."

"Heal your injuries honestly, and practice strength. Seeing whether there is any confrontation on the field today, you must not let your body hold you back."

This season's All-Star voting is about to start again. The team has reported all three names. Larry Hughes still needs to rest for a long time, but he will definitely be able to return before the All-Star, but because of this injury, It is definitely hopeless for him to be an All-Star.

But compared to this, he was even more depressed about not being able to play for the time being. After all, such things as All-Stars, he didn't feel that there was a drama right now.

In the next period of time, the Warriors will encounter various powerful enemies, but most of the games will be at home, and this one can also be there to cheer for the team.

On December 12, the Raptors came to defend.

The Raptors lost Christie and McGrady this season, but their performance has not been affected. The key is that Carter has become more mature, and their inside line Antonio Davis has also played at a 15+10 level. Such strength is lacking inside The East is already pretty good.

And another of their insiders, Charles Oakley, has also returned to form, and at the age of almost 38, he has also played at a 10+10 level. In addition, the joining of old point guard Mark Jackson also gave them a real organizer.

The fans of the Raptors are very sorry. If Tracy McGrady is still there, the Raptors will definitely be one of the best teams in the East, but if nothing happens, they can only hope that Carter can take the Raptors further.

To be honest, Toronto is not very attractive to stars, and it is really good to have the current results.

For the Warriors, it was another game in which the inside line was not dominant.

But for this kind of single-core team, they still have a solution, that is, Zhang Chen goes up and smashes.

For the opponent's first attack, Zhang Chen took care of all aspects, forcing the Raptors' offense to end in a strike. Since they only have one strongest point, they should go all out.

Carter's physical fitness at this time is one of the few who are no worse than Zhang Chen. To deal with him, he can only rely on more concentrated defensive attention than the opponent.

Carter is currently the number one dunker in the NBA, and he often staged amazing dunks in the game. Maybe it was because this consumed some of his energy, so on the defensive end, he couldn't concentrate like Zhang Chen.

However, it is not easy to deal with him in the offense. Zhang Chen continuously changed directions to break through, then turned around to lean on his back, and then turned back to make a fadeaway jumper. It took a lot of effort to score the first 2 points.

But he succeeded, so the energy was well worth it.

In fact, he doesn't do many such technical moves, because he always uses the simplest moves to solve problems when it is not necessary, but once he uses them, it also makes people feel amazing.

Carter felt that Zhang Chen had improved again. Although the fighting spirit was not written on his face, he responded immediately in action.

One step away from the three-point line, he pulled up and hit a three-pointer.

Some of the handsome dunks make people forget that he is an exceptionally versatile player. His shots, bursts, and passes are all very high-level. In addition to raging at the basket, he also likes to shoot three-pointers.

If he doesn't throw a few three-pointers every game, he will feel a little uncomfortable. With a shooting percentage of more than [-]%, in terms of the number of shots he can maintain, he is also in the forefront of the league.

And his three-pointers are the same as dunks, just unreasonable. With his strength and jumping, it is difficult for defensive players to interfere with him.

He also needs to guard against sudden attacks and shots, and his physical fitness is still so good, even meeting this Zhang Chen is a bit of a headache.

But headaches are headaches, Zhang Chen will not have the slightest timidity.

Close defense in the half court, regardless of physical strength, and never let the opponent have a chance to open.

After the first few conversations, Zhang Chen consciously reduced his attacks, because the team still had Jamieson, so he only needed to do his best to defend at this time.

As the boss of the team, the first thing to consider is the team's victory, not just scoring.

There's nothing wrong with scoring when you need him to score, and when you need him to defend, he puts down his body and defends.

Such a simple truth, some players can't figure it out, so some players already have the strength to become the boss of a team, but because they don't have this kind of responsibility, they will never be able to become convincing leaders.

"Zhang, what do you mean by not attacking? It's no use playing tricks in front of me."

"I don't need this either."

In the face of Carter's complaints, Zhang Chen has no pressure. He has the confidence to win the finals, and he can do whatever he wants. Of course, that's because Zhang Chen wins most of the time when the two fight against each other.

"Now our team is stronger inside, wait and see, the guys who change teams for money are not good birds." Carter muttered secretly, he didn't think the Warriors could surpass them in scoring with Jamison's offense.

In fact, this is also the case. In addition to Zhang Chen and Jamison, the current Warriors have two strong points, and the other players are Mark Jackson who has some scoring ability, and the rest of the guys can pick up the outside.

Therefore, even if Zhang Chen has been actively defending Carter, the Raptors still have the advantage.

Trailing by 8 at halftime and 12 at the end of the third quarter.

At this time, Zhang Chen would feel that even if there were more Dampiers inside, it would be fine.

In the last section, it's time to show off.

The Raptors passed halftime, and the ball came to Carter's hands again.

"You vote if you have the ability." Zhang Chen said contemptuously, and took half a step back after speaking, leaving a moderate space for the opponent to make a move.

"Shoot it." Carter was afraid that Zhang Chen would retreat a little on purpose, but he actually took advantage of his shot to attack him. This time he jumped up with all his strength, and the shot point was high enough.

Zhang Chen jumped up to block the block, but he couldn't reach it.

But the basketball crossed an arc in the air and hit the basket with a loud clang. Foyle grabbed the rebound and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen directly advanced to the frontcourt, directing his teammates' running positions, and suddenly pulled up and hit a three-pointer.

"See, this is the correct way to shoot a three-pointer. Your shot is too blunt."

Carter's eyelids twitched. What is the correct way to shoot a three-pointer? He is not a primary school student who just learned basketball. He also dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, adjusted his rhythm, and scored another three-pointer.

Continuing to hit the iron, he hurried back to his team's half, and focused his attention on Zhang Chen.

It would be too embarrassing if Zhang Chen made two three-pointers while hitting the iron twice.

This time Zhang Chen didn't dribble by himself. Looking at Carter who posted it, he suddenly ran back, received the ball at the three-point line facing the basket, and made a shooting action immediately.

Carter rushed over to block the shot, but Zhang Chen flickered.

The shot was a fake, he dribbled to the free throw line and made a mid-range shot.

"What's the use of jumping high? If I hit a three-pointer, some people will be disgraced. I bet you can't shoot a three-pointer and start to break through."

The flat voice carried the look of success, and Carter was a little crazy.

At this time, if you are rational, you should change your attack method. Zhang Chen just provoked him, and Carter is also a high-achieving student. This can still be seen, but how willing is this.

With his hit rate, there is no reason to kneel three times in a row, and the opponent is not pressing as hard as before.

Maybe it was because of the change in the defensive rhythm that made him feel a little uncomfortable. Carter made a unified analysis and found out the so-called reason. This time, he didn't make a rash shot.

Then the tragedy continued, and this time he felt something was wrong when he made the shot.

On Zhang Chen's side, he made a fake pass and assisted Jamison to score 2+1. The score of 12 points was instantly reduced to 4 points. Carter had to force himself to become more calm.

Strengthening the breakthrough, he didn't continue to struggle with three-pointers, but he was also strongly blocked by Zhang Chen. He shot well, and there was no way to dunk in front of him. Just like before, Zhang Chen would rather foul than let him have a chance to ignite the team's fire. momentum.

Carter, who was not very good at free throws, missed a few free throws, and the score was overtaken by the Warriors.

In desperation, Carter chose to feed more balls to the inside of the Raptors.

But their offensive efficiency on the inside has also become mediocre. On the other side, the Warriors' Zhang Chen and Jamison's offenses are very stable.

Looking at the changes in the score, Carter was very depressed, and started shooting from close range after breaking through.

This simple way of scoring has increased his shooting percentage a lot, but it is obviously too late.

At the last moment, the Warriors shrunk their defense, and it became more and more difficult for Carter to break through.

Faced with the opportunity that appeared outside the three-point line, the Raptors made a subsequent struggle, but their three-pointers did not perform to the usual level at all, so they had to accept failure.

100:92, the Warriors won two consecutive victories at home.

After these two victories, their crisis of falling out of the top eight was temporarily eased.

The Warriors still have a strong combat power, which also makes the public opinion of the outside world inconsistent. They have listed one, two, three, four, five reasons for being optimistic about them and for being negative.

But the rest time has not yet arrived, and the next day is back-to-back to Utah to play away games, which is another tough game.
