Chapter 144 Sir Rick
Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes staged a textbook-like fast break. Such scenes have become more and more recent in the game. This is also a major offensive weapon for the Warriors.

The main force of the Warriors is on the court, and there are generally two offensive methods.

Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes played fast breaks or chasing fast hits in the transition between offense and defense. Zhang Chen singled out to get an offensive opportunity or attract the defense to open up.

Although it does not seem to be a complicated offensive method, it has high requirements on the personal skills of the players.

The second offensive method is used by teams with high-level stars. The difference is that they use various tactics to achieve this goal, and because Zhang Chen has super singles and passing abilities, he often does not need complicated tactics. Tactics can do just that.

The first tactic also requires some backcourt combinations to be used, but it is a little less than the first one, because it requires two people to have extremely high qualities in this area.

If there is nothing special about being able to use one of the above tactics, there are very few teams that can use both tactics, so in terms of offense, the Warriors are at the level of a strong team.

In terms of defense, apart from the flawed interior single defense, other aspects have also reached a very high level through the tempering of this season. The perimeter defense is top-notch, and the combination is also higher than the average level of NBA teams.

Therefore, the two teams seem to have a good offensive success rate, and the Jazz have spent a lot of effort.

Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan called for a timeout after another quick counterattack by the Warriors.

"The team must move, Carl, you have to pay more attention to the running positions of your teammates, we need to play a smooth team offense." Jerry Sloan knew that even if Malone scored a high score, the team couldn't win. It's useless.

This is really possible, not to mention that the two teams are evenly matched in offense now. Even if the Jazz have a slight advantage, it is not safe. Zhang Chen's scoring ability at critical moments is well-known in the entire league. When the Jazz won the Warriors before, it was also Because the outside shot is open, otherwise it would be difficult to rely on the 38-year-old Malone alone.

Although Ma Long has full confidence in himself, he has to listen to the coach's words.

As long as the Jazz return to the court and find that the team's offense is really difficult to play, it's not that they have to play star-style singles, but the Warriors' defense forces them to play.

A star at Zhang Chen's level is still so meticulous in defense against a small role. This is definitely a rare anomaly. Under his influence, Larry Hughes is still conscientious in defense, abruptly and Jazz outside. The link between the pitcher and Malone was severed.

Faced with such a situation, Stockton can only force himself to increase his aggressiveness, hoping to distract the Warriors' defensive attention, but Stockton's shooting rate is kept low, and he attacks more, especially on the outside. If he shoots too many shots, he can't maintain the efficiency of shooting.

Putting superstars and preventing dead role players, the Warriors' opposite approach looks good on the Jazz.

At this time, if the Jazz has a center with good offensive ability, it can actually be solved. Unfortunately, the Jazz's center position is basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and they basically make up for it on the court.

At this time, if the strong team is forced to run tactics, it may be because of choking.

After turning around, the Jazz still chose to let Malone play singles. Many teams' tactics are to allow the team's star players to achieve the goal of singles, and now they want to avoid too many singles opponents.

It is not difficult to implement the defensive tactics of the Warriors. The Jazz is also a team that lacks substitutes. It is much easier to strangle other players than to fight Malone. Of course, there is no way. would choose such a tactic.

Similarly, if the Jazz can restrain Zhang Chen, there is no need to create defensive loopholes in order to flank him. What kind of tactics to use depends mainly on what kind of players you have and what kind of players the opponent has. The tactics of going to bad places are actually involuntary.

"Zhang Chen bypassed the defender and hit a three-pointer. There was not much time in the first half. He definitely hoped that the team would take the lead into the second half."

"After Stockton and Malone picked and rolled, the ball came into Malone's hands again...Zhang Chen came over to flank. Facing the Warriors' sudden flank, Malone raised the ball in his hand and passed it to Marshall who was running towards the baseline..."

"The speed is so fast, almost the moment Ma Long passed the ball, Zhang Chen rushed over. Marshall seemed to have underestimated Zhang Chen's bounce speed, and the ball was caught by Zhang Chen."

"After taking the ball from his teammates, Zhang Chen made a gesture to slow down the rhythm. This was the last attack of the Warriors in the first half. Let's see how he will deal with it."

The Warriors' defense is not fixed. Putting Malone in the mid-range shot does not know how to flank, but the flanking cannot be normalized, so that the Jazz's role players will have the opportunity to open, flank at the right time, and disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. This is the Warriors. Purpose.

When is the right time, the coach handed over the power of judgment to Zhang Chen. He is the only one who is familiar with pinching Malone on the court, and the team also believes in his tactical ability.

That's why the scene just now happened. It was relatively easy for Zhang Chen to guard the pitcher who didn't have the ability to create chances. It was no problem for Zhang Chen to use his physical fitness to run at full strength when pinching.

On the last ball of the first half, when Zhang Chen moved, Jamison ran over to pick and roll him.

Although the Warriors' pick-and-roll tactics do not have as many changes as the Jazz, the pick-and-roll between Zhang Chen and Jamison is still very powerful. After he withdrew, Zhang Chen could make a sudden shot or distribute it to him.

After Jamison finished blocking, the Jazz's two defenders surrounded Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen moved his hands back, and the basketball fell into the hands of Jamison, who retreated outside the three-point line.

Jamison pulled up and made a three-pointer.

There was no way to do this. At this time, the Jazz would definitely choose to surround Zhang Chen. Therefore, Jamison could only look at his touch, and Jamison's unmarked shots were still very accurate.

Zhang Chen may come by himself when the lore is reached, but he and Jamison are both good choices for things like the halftime buzzer.

At 58:50, there was still a gap of 1 points 2 minute ago. The Warriors' scoring ability is indeed powerful.

This is a script they had thought about a long time ago. After returning to the lounge, the Warriors players were very happy.

"Don't take it lightly. An 8-point advantage is too common. Keep working hard in the second half." Give your teammates confidence when they are down, and remind them to be cautious when they are proud. This is something that leaders must pay attention to at all times.

"Antoine, the defense should also pay attention to changes in rhythm. Don't let the opponent get used to it." Malone is the most threatening on the Jazz's side. Letting him shoot is not to make him play comfortably. Defense is to make the opponent uncomfortable. , Even if you can score, you are not comfortable.

The Jazz actually wanted to make Zhang Chen uncomfortable, but they didn't have a suitable executor.

Their last solution is to switch to Russell to defend. Although they can't defend, they are at least better than Marshall. In addition, they will go to Starks to follow Larry Hughes, otherwise Marshall will probably become a sieve.

But there is still no advantage in such a lineup, it is just a way to change players to see if they are lucky.

After the start of the second half, Malone still had to come, but they arranged Malone closer to the basket in an attempt to increase his shooting percentage.

The Warriors are not too polite, and they use various means of going forward, pressing, and fouling in turn, and they are not limited to Jamison. As long as Malone comes in, the rough inside will fight him hand-to-hand, and he will be tired if he is tired.

But even so, the score was still slowly chipped back by Malone. This guy is also good at free throws. If it is really so tough, the Warriors' defense will be very troublesome.

However, this phenomenon did not last long. If Malone had been like this, it would not be Malone.

Seeing Ma Long pulling it out subconsciously again, Zhang Chen secretly called out "YSE".

"Run up..." The same is about running, the young warrior is much faster than the old jazz.

"Malone looked a little tired. Jerry Sloan had to replace him for a rest, but the Warriors' three sharp knives were still on the court."

"As soon as Malone stepped down, the Jazz's offense was in trouble. Malone, who was sitting on the bench resting, covered his face with a towel, and couldn't bear to watch the situation on the field."

Knowing that it would be dangerous to replace Sir Malone, but Jerry Sloan has no choice. Malone looks like he can still score the same points as when he was young. In fact, he is coming when he is old. If you work hard for 40 minutes, it will be really troublesome in the playoffs.

After taking the lead, the Warriors also carried out a personnel rotation. The Jazz without Malone don't need to worry at all.

When the two sides played again in the fourth quarter, Zhang Chen was already fully fired.

In such a situation, the Jazz, which has few scoring points, has no way to fight against it.

In addition, Malone's shooting rate began to decline again. It must be said that Malone's style of play may have extended his career, but it has reduced his dominance. After the shooting rate dropped, his value on the court immediately plummeted.

In the last few minutes, the desperate Jazz began to force three-pointers, but this is not what they are good at.

The Warriors slowly fought a positional battle, firmly grasping the victory in their own hands.

At 114:102, the Warriors defeated the powerful Jazz, reborn after five consecutive losses, and won three consecutive victories.

After the game, Zhang Chen said in a high-profile manner, "Whether it is a losing streak or a winning streak, it can't affect the current Warriors. Our goal is not to lose a few games or win a few games in the regular season. Find the shortcomings from the failures and discover the advantages from the victories." , This is what a team that can go further needs to go through."

"For the playoffs, we're ready."

In the next period of time, the Warriors will have more home games, and the last moment to hit the rankings has come.
