Chapter 133 East road trip
After the home game against the Nuggets, the Warriors ushered in a five-game Eastern Conference road trip.

The first stop was Boston. Paul Pierce, one of the representatives of the same class, also rose rapidly in strength, but the Celtics' record was not very good, and he also fell into the trouble of having no helpers.

The current Celtics are very similar to the Warriors who are short of major generals, and they have also suffered from injuries. An all-around outside player and a dubious inside player are almost all the offensive firepower of the team.

However, their record is much worse than that of the Warriors. After all, Pierce is not Zhang Chen. He and Antoine Walker can guarantee that they will play well, but they cannot guarantee the team's victory.

To put it bluntly, this game is a contest of stars, and other players may not be able to provide much help.

Needless to say, Zhang Chen and Pierce have played against each other many times.

As for Jamison and Walker, although their styles of play are slightly different, their effects are very similar in terms of offense and defense, and they can be regarded as representatives of the type of nonsense on the front line.

"How about it, are you confident that you can handle the other party?"

Jamison smiled. Although Walker is more comprehensive, he still has confidence in both offense and defense.

In fact, they didn't need to compete with others in this game. The part-time organization of the Warriors naturally had Zhang Chen to do it, so Jamison didn't need to worry about it.

The Celtics got the chance to attack first, and the ball came into Pierce's hands. He has now become the team's first attack point, and he has become more calm, no longer pretending to be indifferent and patient. He couldn't help showing an eager expression.

However, he used the duel with Zhang Chen to test his progress, which can be said to have become a habit. In normal games, most of the ball will be handed over to Walker first, because that is the Celtics organization. best of ability.

However, facing Zhang Chen, he turned his back directly and began to push inside.

After entering the NBA, Pierce has become stronger and stronger, his weight and strength have improved a lot, and his post-back threat is much greater than before.

Pierce's current strength is very strong, but he doesn't just rely on strength to push. He pushes in and keeps making fake moves to turn to both sides, and when he suddenly turns, he hits again Step back and lean back, very smooth.

The ball was shot into the basket steadily, and even Zhang Chen, who was defending behind him, couldn't help yelling in secret.

Every top offensive player has his own set of ways, and what they have in common is that they can score the ball under various tight defenses.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Zhang Chen caught the ball just a little bit. Seeing that Pierce was not fooled, he immediately dribbled forward and squeezed, then stepped back and pulled up, and also hit the ball.

Zhang Chen seldom makes that kind of complicated fake moves, but because of his strong attack power, even if he makes the simplest kind of fake moves, many people will be fooled. And it's so high, so in addition to being realistic, the strength of the person you use is more important for feints. If you can attack badly, no one will care about you if you can do a good feint.

The game has just started, and Pierce has been very active on both ends of the offense and defense.

Zhang Chen secretly asked, if this guy is so active in every game, will their team's record be better? The teams with dual cores in the Eastern Conference should have better results.

Of course, he would not give up trying to provoke the other party just because the other party put on a serious look.

"Paul, why are you so active, you will lose to me anyway."

"Will you die if you don't pretend? I won't lose to you. It should be said that I'm thinking about the team's victory or defeat. It's just a way to blow you up."

Zhang Chen sweated a little, Pierce is also capable of such serious nonsense, who is going to die if he doesn't pretend.

Although they have to compete with Zhang Chen, this one must also pay attention to Walker's mood. Their offense has gradually become their regular routine, and the ball passes Walker's hands first.

In terms of height and weight, Jamison is about the same as Walker, so if Walker wants to play Jamison in the low post, it is not very realistic. He still uses his usual method of pulling people out to fight.

Jamison is also very proficient in using this trick. As a power forward, he also likes to shoot outside, but in front of Walker, he is nothing.

He has to guard against Walker's throwing outside the three-point line at any time, the kind of throwing with a good shooting percentage.

The two power forwards burned the flames beyond the three-point line, and it can be regarded as a strange thing meeting a strange thing.

Neither of the two sides had a strong defense on the inside, and the two power forwards both ran to the outside, so Zhang Chen and Pierce unanimously chose to rush inside.

In this regard, Pierce is at a disadvantage. He is nimble on his feet, but his speed is not as fast as Zhang Chen.

"Both the Warriors and the Celtics are almost undefended inside. As long as Zhang Chen and Pierce break through the opponent's defense, they can almost form a score."

"However, Zhang Chen's ability to score against the opponent's defense is stronger."

"Pierce was also led badly by Walker. Sometimes the choice of three-point shots makes people speechless."

The two had a fierce confrontation, and their mouths never stopped.

"Do you know where the gap is between you and me? Can you see that little fat man can't do it?" After changing two tricks, Zhang Chen started fatigue bombing.

"I'll blow you up, you can't defend me anymore..." Pierce said the same thing back and forth.

On this side, Zhang Chen has a slight advantage, while on the other side, Jamieson also belongs to the side with a slight advantage, because he is more stable than the opponent, and his attack methods are also very practical, so he plays more efficiently.

"Work harder, such an opponent is hard to find."

Zhang Chen did not forget to remind Jamison that there are not many times when only a matchup with an opponent similar to himself can decide the outcome of the game. The Warriors must not have problems in such a game.

His mentality has changed a lot from when he first entered the league.

Even though the combat effectiveness of the Warriors is worrying now, he still feels that it is very easy to win against an opponent like the Celtics. The duel with Pierce is just a sideshow.

"Zhang Chen has obviously stepped up his attack. Is he ready to exert his strength? Maybe he is very excited to see his old opponent."

"The characteristic of Zhang Chen is that he is very comprehensive. He can choose different methods to face different opponents. This is different from many stars with unique skills. This style may become a unique landscape."

As he expected, after opening the status seal, Antoine Walker's style of play was most affected, and Pierce had to further strengthen his offense.

"Paul, the gap between you and me is the pursuit of victory." During the confrontation between the two sides, Zhang Chen's hand suddenly and accurately cut to the opponent's ball, completing an excellent steal.

This is not intentional trash talk, it's just an exclamation.

Pierce's ability has reached a certain level, and he has not been able to make it to the playoffs. It can only be said that something went wrong. Carter can lead the team to the playoffs, and it is reasonable for him to be able to be.

If there is no accident this season, a large number of their players will appear in the playoffs, but Pierce, who is called the strongest three of that year along with Zhang Chen and Carter, may only be in the audience Or watching them fight in front of the TV.

If it was Zhang Chen, he would definitely not be able to accept this kind of thing.

But Pierce, it seems that he has not yet found a way that suits him and can help the team more.

At 100:88, Zhang Chen and Jamison played steadily throughout the game, and it was normal to win.

After the game, Zhang Chen went over to chat with Pierce. The two got along pretty well. He also regretted the current situation of the opposing team. He shared some experiences with Pierce. There are always more strong players in the league. more lively.

Whether it is winning the game that should be won or winning the first win in the Eastern Conference road trip, it is very important to the Warriors. Every victory is a heavy bargaining chip, which is enough to qualify for the playoffs.

"In this away game, the Warriors will definitely achieve a good result."

"The top eight in the West is the bottom line, and I will do everything in my power to keep the team from crossing this bottom line."

"My words are inconsistent. You must have heard it wrong. How can there be a contradiction between keeping the top eight positions in the West and becoming a championship contender? Isn't it necessary to keep the top eight positions to have a chance to compete? Well, let me make it clear One point, as long as we can stay in the top eight, we are strong contenders for the championship."

"It's not a word game, it's called confidence."

Even though Zhang Chen answered all kinds of questions confidently, he was still playing word games with sarcasm. Some media even teased his grades in school, saying that he is indeed a good student, and his brain is flexible.

They believe that the teams of strong contenders for the championship rarely have to be in the top three, and the team's lineup must not have obvious flaws. None of these conditions has been met by the Warriors.

For such words, Zhang Chen's attitude is to ignore, believe it or not, anyway, the atmosphere inside the Warriors is very good, most of them believe in what Zhang Chen said, and the negative ones are at most on the sidelines, there will be no Such an inappropriate naysayer.

On the contrary, the condition of the wounded is a bit worrying. The younger ones are recovering very stably, but Bray Locke is more troublesome than expected. After all, they are getting older and their resilience is much weaker.

As a veteran who can shoot three-pointers and averages 2.5 steals per game, the Warriors' perimeter presence is critical. When he and Larry Hughes are healthy, the Warriors are definitely the top presence in the league's perimeter defense. During the regular season Maybe you don't think that such a practical veteran in the playoffs must be of great help to the team.

But there is no other way now, I can only pray that he recovers quickly.

After winning the Celtics, the Warriors rushed to New Jersey non-stop, because the next day was to challenge the Nets back-to-back, which is also the game that Zhang Chen must win in his plan.
