Chapter 130 The Warrior Who Do His Best to Win

Pat Riley is not a person who believes in chance, but now he really wants to believe that the Warriors' sudden improvement is accidental, and Zhang Chen's continuous passing is accidental.

He swears impatiently, because no matter how you look at the opponent, this is also a tactic.

How could the Warriors use such a tactic? Obviously, Zhang Chen and Jamison played a lot of singles during this period.

They would choose to let guys who can't call enough role players shoot in the crucial fourth quarter, and the most annoying thing is that those guys have a good shooting percentage.

This is simply a gamble, but why it works.

It must be an illusion, an illusion created for the final eruption, he will not be fooled.

The Heat's defensive tactics have not changed in the slightest. Even if they know Zhang Chen can pass the ball, they can only flank him. With a certain level of strength, no matter what you do on the court, you will be the opponent's first object of defense.

And in this defensive battle, Zhang Chen passed the ball sincerely. How high is the scoring efficiency.

But this kind of thing is enough as long as it is better than the opponent. Without a real core, there is no problem in defense, but at the most critical moment of offense, it is not enough.

This is the flaw of the team, which usually cannot be compensated by tactics.

At the last moment, Zhang Chen hit a difficult two-pointer to help the Warriors seal the victory.

86:80, two consecutive victories after two consecutive losses, the current Warriors feel incomprehensible to people.

It is still home, and once again ushered in the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The record of the Timberwolves is basically pretty good. Blame the teams in the West for their good records. They were ranked eighth before, and the Warriors were ranked seventh. But just two days ago, the Timberwolves were squeezed to ninth by the Trail Blazers. .

The Trail Blazers didn't start very amazingly, but after all, they have a deep lineup, and now they have caught up. Now they have similar records with the Warriors and Timberwolves. If the Warriors lose, they will directly fall out of the West top eight.

There is absolutely no room for loss in such a crucial game.

Facing the Timberwolves, Jamison changed his position to the third position. The current situation of the Warriors also makes Zhang Chen and Jamison continue to appear in different positions on the team.

It is the Warriors' plan to strangle the opponent's outside line and fight the opponent.

The Timberwolves' perimeter defense is simply maddening, even if their core Garnett defense ability is excellent, it doesn't make sense.

Coupled with the fact that their team's defensive tactics were terrible, the two sides entered the rhythm of mutual explosion at the beginning.

It's like a replica of the previous game. At the beginning, everyone can still come and go, and the score rises alternately.

But in the end, Garnett's shooting percentage dropped, and the Timberwolves collapsed directly.

Garnett was alone, and the Warriors won the offensive battle 120:99, and also stabilized the seventh position in the Western Conference.

Meeting the Spurs again, and on the road, the Warriors have nothing to do.

The reason why the Timberwolves can use the outside attack to fight the opponent's inside attack is because the Timberwolves only have Garnett in the inside attack, the Spurs are the "twin towers", Tim Duncan and David Robinson showed their strength from the beginning , All kinds of abuse of the inside line of the Warriors.

Even with the help of system skills, Zhang Chen couldn't make much waves in front of the two big men of the Spurs. The Warriors' 97:105 loss to the Spurs can be regarded as a small revenge for the opponent.

On the 24th, it was another back-to-back game, and the opponent was the Rockets who had played against each other before.

This guy Francis must have been scolded by the coach. This game was played very rationally. The two teams played inextricably in the first three quarters. He and Mobley kept scoring. For the Warriors, it was Zhang Chen and Jamison who kept scoring. , but in the fourth quarter, the Warriors were still slightly more efficient.

At 95:87, the Rockets lost to the Warriors again.

On the 28th, at the Oakland Arena, the 76ers with the best record in the Eastern Conference visited.

This season, Iverson's desire to score has become stronger, and he has averaged nearly 32 points per game on the No.1 scoring list. The difference is nearly 2 points per game.

However, he didn't make random shots. As a strong man with individual values ​​over 100, let alone defending him, almost no one can restrain him. This is why the 76ers can rank first in the Eastern Conference this season. Iverson His attack power is too powerful, even more powerful than before.

Now that there is such a powerful presence, the presence of other players on the 76ers team will not be weak. The combined scores of the other four players in their main lineup are only a few points more than Iverson.

But despite the average offense of the other players on their team, their defensive ability is still good, especially in terms of rebounding. Theo Ratliff, Tyrone Hill, and George Lynch are all good players.

Therefore, Jamison must go inside and compete with them.

The principle of the Warriors is that if they encounter a particularly strong inside line and have a certain restraint effect on Jamison, Jamison will go to the outside line. If the inside line is particularly weak, it doesn't matter.

Obviously, Jamison can still work hard on the inside of the 76ers.

Zhang Chen still chose to defend Iverson, but Iverson did not face Zhang Chen on the defensive end.

George Lynch was defending Zhang Chen, and Tyrone Hill was defending Jamison. The 76 team's defensive strategy was obvious, just trying to suppress the two with their height.

It's another battle. If players of their level can suppress the offense with their height, Iverson won't be able to score so many points in each game.

If other single-core teams wanted to attack the Warriors, it would be courting death. Zhang Chen restricted the opponent's core players, and the opponent's offense would have to kneel.

But Iverson is one of the few players that Zhang Chen can't completely restrain.

Iverson's speed is fast, but it doesn't mean that the 76ers are fast as a whole. Their configuration actually has a good defensive position, so the Warriors must play fast.

Jamison fired with all his firepower from the beginning, while Zhang Chen kept his strength, mainly to mark Iverson, but he didn't pull it down during the attack.

After the Warriors started running, the 76ers couldn't keep up with the inside line, and Jamison's scoring became easier. If he fell into the position, Zhang Chen's singles ability was also very useful.

But Iverson's offense is also very efficient. As long as he is given a gap, he can score the ball without spending energy on the defensive end. He has full firepower.

"Zhang, you can't guard me." Without the inside gate, if Iverson breaks in, it's basically a layup.

"It takes too much energy to defend you in the whole court, just defend you in one quarter and win the game." Zhang Chen responded without showing any weakness.

"That's impossible. Although your defense is indeed good, it's not my full strength."

"Facts have proved everything, Allen, even if your scoring ability can become stronger, it will not change anything. Your team still has a fatal weakness."

Every team has weaknesses, Zhang Chen is exaggerating on purpose, but it is not a good thing for the 76ers to rely too much on Iverson's offense, no matter how strong he is, he can play a few at a time.

And they lack players with excellent long-range shots, so even if Iverson can attract defense, the other players of the 76ers do not have many offensive means that can help him.

To put it simply, Zhang Chen feels that the configuration of the 76ers is somewhat unreasonable. However, this kind of thing cannot be forced. It has something to do with the coach and the management. If everyone is as powerful as a few monsters, it is estimated that they will not be able to have a good time together of playing.

Under the circumstances that neither side could restrict the other side well, the scores rose respectively.

And in the fourth quarter, it was time for the Warriors to perform again.

After Iverson's shots hit the iron a few times, they took the opportunity to exceed the score, and then the team shrank their defense.

Although there is no master defense expert inside, even Iverson is not easy to break through when shrinking. At this time, the 76ers' weakness of lack of long-range shooting ability is infinitely magnified.

They are almost allowed to shoot three-pointers, and their shooting percentages are not high.

And Zhang Chen and Jamison are still one by one mid-range shots. There are many players who can play with the ball, and sometimes it is difficult to distribute the ball, but at this time they show their advantages. There are still two scoring points with rich offensive means, and the advantage immediately goes to their side.

"The 76ers' offense is too one-sided. When Iverson has a problem with his touch, he can't find anyone who can stand up."

"Iverson's high shot is a double-edged sword. It can kill opponents and kill his own team."

In the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference, the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference was cornered by the Western Conference's No. [-] team. It seemed that the West was strong and the East was weak. Amidst the sighs of so-called professionals, the game came to an end.

At 118:109, the Warriors defeated the 76ers.

After the game, Iverson was also a little depressed. When he said goodbye to Zhang Chen, he couldn't forget the situation of the game, "Zhang, I think your luck is better."

The fluctuating touch actually appeared in the fourth quarter, which left him no time to adjust. This was the most important reason for his loss in the game.

"Luck is also a part of strength." Zhang Chen must be happier after winning the game.

While he sees it a bit differently, it doesn't really matter that a win or a loss is a win or loss, even if it's just an ordinary regular season.

After this game, there were only two back-to-back games left in December, 12, against the Utah Jazz at home and the Vancouver Grizzlies away.

To be honest, we lost a little more games in December. As a team with ambitions for the playoffs, it is best to have a successful end at the last moment of 12.

The entire Warriors team is also ready for a tough battle.
