Chapter 132 Victory is the panacea

The game against the Nuggets is really not easy to play. The inside line composed of McDyess and LaFrentz is very troublesome, and the "Fan Crazy" on the outside line is also very troublesome.

McDyess is a very orthodox power forward. For Jamison, he will definitely be more difficult to deal with than Raheem, but the Nuggets have two attack points inside, and Jamison still has to fight inside.

Fortunately, McDyess is not that kind of tonnage type, otherwise Jamison went inside and it would be useless.

LaFrentz's inside who can shoot three-pointers can only be defended by Mark Jackson, who can also move outside, but the opponent may have an advantage in both offense and defense.

Zhang Chen is also faced with a choice. Even if James Posey is defending him this time, he will definitely have to defend another scoring point on the defensive end. Whether it is Van Exel or Leonard is indeed more troublesome. He has experience defending short guys. , but the defensive point guard is a bit different.

In the end, he decided to defend Van Exel, because he took more shots and was more dangerous.

"Hey, I heard that you can play long-range three-pointers. I don't know how far you can play." Zhang Chen greeted the opponent's first attack.

Van Exel raised his hand and made a shot. At this time, there were still two steps away from the three-point line, but the ball still hit the basket. He smiled proudly: "Finals MVP, I will not Afraid of you."

Sure enough, it was crazy enough. I thought I would have to provoke him a little more, but I didn't expect this person to not hesitate at all.

Zhang Chen wanted to come over and drive the ball forward, the Nuggets naturally sent James Posey to post him, but he chased Van Exel and shouted: "Hey, wait a minute..."

Three steps away from the three-point line, Zhang Chen pulled up his shot, and the basketball flew into the basket.

"I just want to tell you that even in the field you are good at, I can completely abuse you... You know, I have no opponents in terms of comprehensive skills, so I want to find some other kind of stimulation." Zhang Chen was very pleased Se said.

This kind of trash talk is quite effective for many players.

Because players are competitive, especially in the field they are good at, how can they survive in the NBA without arrogance, and Van Exel cares about this very much, "Crazy Fan" plays crazy and has a bad temper Crazy, when he heard Zhang Chen's provocation, he quit immediately and rushed towards Zhang Chen while dribbling the ball.

Zhang Chen opened his hands, with a defensive attitude, he kept saying: "You shoot, you shoot, I let you shoot..." He continued to stimulate the opponent.

He knew there might be a trap, but if he was afraid, he wouldn't be Van Exel.

Three steps away from the three-point line, he made a decisive shot.

Of course, he also paid attention to Zhang Chen's defensive position, so he must not interfere with him.

With the big sturdy cap, Van Exel was completely stunned. Zhang Chen, who had been looking lazy just now, suddenly exploded at the moment of his shot. He accurately grasped the timing of his shot and slapped the ball. out.

"You really shot." Zhang Chen smiled at the other party.

It took Van Exel a long time to react. After waking up, he clenched his fists and was about to rush up, but fortunately he was held back by his teammates.

Zhang Chen was also betting on the character of the opponent. He used up the skills he absolutely controlled at the beginning. He also fought hard, but he didn't want to cause any fights. "On the basketball court, use basketball to talk about everything."

Van Exel was also speechless when he said such a thing, but his mind calmed down a bit. It was because of his lack of strength that he fell into the opponent's trap, and he really had to use basketball to get it back.

Talking with basketball and finding it with basketball sound very similar in meaning, but they are really not the same thing. Van Exel was really fooled.

In the interior battle, Jamieson and McDyess have their own advantages in offense. Both of them are more technical players, and they are destined to be better at offense than defense.

Generally speaking, the Tunneling team should have an advantage inside. First of all, the rebounding ability is better, and there is also the ability to block shots. Although LaFrentz likes to float outside when attacking, he has a very good blocking ability in defense. Covering ability, it is not so easy to shoot in the Nuggets' three-second zone.

The Warriors are not good at blocking shots, and it's not that they are not good at it. Foyle's blocking ability is good, but he can't defend. Or they are strong in defense and weak in attack, which is relatively extreme. The strong side is generally strong, and the weak side is very weak.

Even when the staff is neat, it is not easy to arrange, let alone when the staff is not neat.

There is a shortage of insiders in the entire league now, and the Warriors are particularly short.

In such a situation, we can only use offense to drive it. In addition, everyone has to protect the rebound. Zhang Chen has already started to act. This is also the reason why Zhang Chen's basketball court is growing this season. The Warriors need to help grab the rebound. Rebound player.

"Zhang Chen's mid-range shot after breaking through, his shooting is really stable."

"Zhang Chen got rid of the defense again, scoring simple and quick points, which is very practical."

"The Warriors' defense has always been criticized, but under the leadership of Zhang Chen, their offense is no worse than any other team, and the most important thing is Zhang Chen's ability at the decisive moment, which is really outstanding."

"It's a pity that in many cases, the Warriors can't last until the decisive moment. However, in this game, they and the Nuggets are not evenly matched. We may see Zhang Chen's ability at critical moments again."

Both teams focus on shooting, and the defense belongs to everyone, so no one can completely defend the other.

This kind of game often depends on the performance of both sides in the fourth quarter, and the fourth quarter depends on the performance of the stars.

Jamison is working harder and harder in the interior. Although it is difficult to make substantial improvements in defense for the time being, he has made significant progress in rebounding. There is still hope for three boards.

And his efforts in the interior are of real benefit to the Warriors.

Especially when both sides are mainly shooting, grabbing a few more rebounds may change the situation for a period of time and give the team an advantage.

On the outside line, Van Exel often has a magic touch in order to vent his anger, but the hit rate is not very high. Zhang Chen can keep up with the opponent. If he passes the ball well, he can shoot with Zhang Chen's height. cause clear interference.

This is why the Nuggets seem to have a stronger configuration, but the scores of the two teams are very anxious.

If the combat power on paper cannot form actual combat power, it is useless.

Zhang Chen often asks his teammates to defend hard and concentrate on the field, just to enhance the actual combat power. Sometimes the ability does not need to be strong, and it is enough to contribute the ability to the team's victory. On the contrary, the ability can not help the team If not, it will only have a negative effect on the team's victory.

"Everyone work hard, follow this rhythm, we will win." At the halftime break, the Warriors led by 55 points at 53:2.

"I know, as long as the ball is given to Zhang at the critical moment, we will win."

There was a burst of laughter from the side. Zhang Chen's repeated performances at critical moments had already given his teammates great confidence. Some young players even believed blindly that as long as Zhang Chen was around at that time, the winner would definitely be them.

This is not an exaggeration. Many guys in the NBA are actually very simple-minded. If they didn't grow up to be big enough to play, they would definitely not be able to make so much money doing other things.

Nuggets head coach Dan Issel was dissatisfied with the team's performance. McDyess, as the core of the team, did not mobilize the emotions of his teammates well. He could not see much desire to win on his face. Although Van Exel is actively pursuing victory, his style of play can be used as a surprise soldier, but he cannot be a leader.

The biggest weakness of the Nuggets is not the strength of the players, but the lack of suitable leaders.

The results of the competition are neither high nor low, but the key point cannot be completed.

"You must be more eager to win. If you can't win the current Warriors, this season will be another mediocre season."

Dan-Isel is destined to be disappointed. This Nuggets team is no longer the Nuggets team he once led that can be blacked out. Maybe he is not good at mobilizing the combat effectiveness of his disciples.

There are not many players like Zhang Chen who have a strong desire to win at any time. If he hadn't come to the Warriors, the somewhat quiet Jamison would certainly not be able to shoulder the responsibility of being a good leader, just like McDyess.

In the second half, the Nuggets played a more active defense. Zhang Chen's offense was still mainly mid-range shooting.

The dominant Warriors gradually took the initiative on the scene, and the Nuggets could score, but the feeling was very strange and lacked some passion.

By the time their shooting percentages suffered in the fourth quarter, the fighting spirit was all but lost.

Only Van Exel is still trying to attack, but under Zhang Chen's defense, the suddenness of his shooting looks more like a poor choice, and he can't make much waves at all.

The home fans cheered and the players fought aggressively.

In the end, the Warriors defeated their opponents 111:100 and won their first victory in 2001.

During this period of time, the victory and defeat were very repeated. The Trail Blazers, who had played one more game, had already run ahead of them, and the Warriors' record changed to eighth in the Western Conference.

The Suns, which had a good record, lost again, and the record was even closer to the two teams.

The current situation is that if you lose, you may fall to two places, and if you win, you may rise to two places. Gradually entering the middle of the season, it is time to try hard to bite.

At this time, it will be easy to gain an advantage, and it will be difficult to chase after falling.

This is also the first time since entering the NBA that Zhang Chen has experienced this kind of scramble for the record. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

And the panacea for eliminating tension is constant victory.
