Chapter 149 The Warrior Who Entered the State
Stoudemire broke out in a cold sweat, and his reaction was quick enough. He immediately twisted his body and threw the ball aside.

But Zhang Chen, who suddenly appeared in front of him, also stretched out his other hand, and the basketball deviated from the planned trajectory. Larry Hughes rushed over and controlled the ball in his hands.

Zhang Chen took the basketball from his teammates and began to control the rhythm.

Even if the first half is over, we must be cautious, minimize mistakes and win more points.

Serious attitude, will get more chances to win.

Facing Pippen with his arms outstretched and concentrated, Zhang Chen dribbled the ball sideways to the opponent, suddenly moved laterally, and then squeezed in. When the opponent blocked him with all his strength, he immediately made a step-back jump shot.

Watching the ball fly into the basket, Zhang Chen felt extremely comfortable.

Although you have a very high shooting ability, when facing the defense, not all shots can be shot, especially when this kind of opponent knows that you are going to be strong, the defensive attention will be very concentrated, and you can face the defense. Hitting the ball is a great encouragement to the team.

At halftime, the Warriors entered the intermission with a 9-point advantage.

With the opposing team short-handed, the Warriors don't feel like they're playing the same team at all.

"Continue to work hard and strengthen the defensive strength. We will definitely win."

In the second half, the Blazers made changes and added Sabonis' role.

Even though his body is injured, it does not prevent him from playing very smoothly. Rasheed increased his running without the ball, and they played an internal pass and internal cooperation.

In singles play, Jamison was able to resist with all his might, but he was a little helpless when he was playing like this now.

In the defense, the opponent's marking of Jamison was not so strict, and the protection of the inside line was strengthened.

On the bright side, Jamison is more capable of scoring than Larry Hughes, but if Jamison is only played on the outside, the deterrent effect will be reduced a lot. The opponent chooses to consume Jamison in offense and guard Zhang Chen in defense. and Larry Hughes' breakthrough.

Although this move was a helpless move, it also received good results.

In this game, due to the entanglement between Jamison and Rashid on the inside, Jamison consumed a lot of physical strength, which affected the accuracy of the outside line. After Larry Hughes lost the space to break through, his advantage over Steve Smith was also reduced. there is none left.

When Rashid concentrates on assisting defense in the interior, he still poses a great offensive threat to the Warriors. He is fast, tall and has wingspan, and Zhang Chen's offense is also affected.

His mid-range shots after playing against Pippen in singles are not every time.

Then, how to choose when the opponent's score is approaching is very important. Passing to a teammate such as Jamison who is easy to get a chance on the outside may make or not. If it goes in, the team may lose because of it.

This choice, the more critical the game, the more it will trouble the core players of the team.

It’s easy to say if you win, but if you fail, you will be independent if you don’t spread it, and you dare not take responsibility if you spread it. This is an unsolvable equation.

For this, different stars have different calculation methods, and Zhang Chen is of course no exception.

As a type who has successfully graduated from college, he will simply calculate the success rate, such as whether the open position of his teammates is the position he is used to, how does he feel now, whether he is close to the basket or far, and how is his own state? .

But when it comes to the last moment, unless there is a vacancy at the basket, he will usually choose to come by himself.

The Trail Blazers never flanked him in this game, so he will attack. If he can't attract more defensive attention from the opponent, it will be even more difficult for the team to open up the offense.

This is the confidence that the Blazers played against the Warriors before, but that is in the past.

Changing direction to speed up, pushing with his back, directly squeezed Pippen into the three-second zone, and turned around to play cricket before the help defense came up. Pippen was originally a guy with super physical fitness, but now he even held back a little He didn't do it all at once. In addition to the degradation of his own ability, Zhang Chen's strength can also be seen.

"You guys are too naive to want to guard me like this."

"For such an old man, I can hit five at a time."

Pippen was so angry that his face cramped up. Although he knew it was trash talk, why was he so upset, "This kid is not a good person. I've been sure since the first time I saw him." Can't keep up.

"You kid is looking for death." If you can't keep up, you have to force yourself, otherwise you will lose face.

What's more, he thought that as long as he worked hard, he could still limit Zhang Chen.

Although Erye Pi admitted that he had degenerated, he didn't know the extent of his degeneration, so he always showed some skill, so he shouldn't be afraid of these juniors.

In fact, whether it is in the Rockets or the Trail Blazers, he has already fallen into the hands of the juniors in the playoffs.

When the score is tight, the team that can't hold on first may be discouraged in this game. Therefore, at this time, the players of both teams are gritting their teeth.

The Trail Blazers try their best to send the ball to the basket, so as to ensure a relatively high offensive success rate.

The Warriors let Zhang Chen start the singles mode. Although he is not an inside player, he will also find a way to shoot closer to the basket.

"Zhang Chen once again used his strength to get to the opponent's hinterland, and he made a small jump shot. His scoring skills are really rich."

"Zhang Chen turned around and made a shot. It was a fake move. Pippen was tricked. It wasn't that the fake move was so good, but Zhang Chen's hit rate made a veteran like Pippen unable to help making mistakes."

"Steal, Zhang Chen cut off the opponent's ball, the Warriors have slowly narrowed the defensive space, but the Blazers' offense has not changed in time."

"Almost single-handedly broke the ice, that's the kind of player he is."

This kind of game is tiring enough, and the playing time is almost the same as the playoffs.

But the playing time of the opponent's main players is longer than that of the Warriors, and it feels like playing the last game of the playoffs.

Withstood the most difficult period of time, Zhang Chen also went off to take a short rest.

He could see that the opponent's physical strength was already in some trouble, especially the older ones. In the fourth quarter, they could be taken down in one fell swoop.

He was sent back to the field without a 2-minute break. Without him on the field, no one can attract the defense to open up the offensive space. In fact, it is not that no one in the Warriors can attack in this situation, but they need someone to stabilize the situation on the field.

When a player performs well, while bringing benefits to the team, it will also make his teammates dependent to a certain extent. There is no way to do this.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 79:74. It seemed that the lead was less than that at the end of the half, but the consumption of the Blazers was very high.

"Shoot decisively and have confidence, they will die."

Zhang Chen vaccinated his teammates, and then he needs to help the team in another way.

Playing in the fourth quarter, the Blazers became active outside again, obviously trying to pull out the Warriors' defense and make it easier for their inside players to score.

But after the two sides have fought for so long, the accuracy of the outside line is really not very good.

When it came time for the Warriors to attack, Zhang Chen was leaning against Pippen to ask for the ball again, as if continuing to play singles.

Pippen's teeth were about to shatter. He was tired of defending like this. It was strange why the opponent felt so energetic.

This time, before Zhang Chen sat in the three-second zone, the Blazers' defense came up ahead of schedule.

Changing the tempo of the defense, this trick can easily lead to mistakes by offensive players.

But Zhang Chen was not affected at all, he had already passed the ball when the defensive player came up.

It should be said that he didn't intend to force the ball at all, half of his attention was on his teammates.

Jamison catches the ball from the bottom line and makes a three-pointer, and the ball hits the net. He has missed two consecutive shots in this position, but this ball is a solid hit.

Accident or not, it was a blow to the Blazers.

In order to open up the situation, Rashidra went to the outside and also hit a three-pointer.

But immediately, it was Zhang Chen who attracted the defense again and passed it to Cummings on the outside, who also hit a three-pointer.

The Blazers players are a bit messy, should they continue to fight for three-pointers? They are not very sure, but the Warriors' defense is still relatively shrinking. Stoudemire made a strong three-pointer, but he missed.

Zhang Chen received the ball with his back again, and the opponent's defense was not firm enough.

Decisive turnaround jump shot, hit the shot, the fourth quarter just started for a while, the point difference widened to 10 points.

It is also a difficult problem for defenders whether to defend against shots or passes.

After the struggle of the Warriors, now it is the turn of the Trail Blazers. Basketball is not enough to play with your head covered. There will be many choices on the court. Some choices are related to the outcome of a game, and some choices determine the growth of players. The direction, and how far it can go.

The head coach of the Blazers, Mike Dunleavy, is not a decisive coach. Although the Blazers have many big names on the court, there is no one who can make up their minds in time.

When a group cannot play its due combat effectiveness, the loss will follow.

The Warriors are playing better and better, which is affected by the imposing state, and they made the right choice.

At 112:99, the Trail Blazers were able to score behind, but they could no longer pose a real threat to the Warriors. The Warriors started a new winning streak by defeating the powerful enemy that the Trail Blazers defeated for the first time this season.

"We have entered the state of the playoffs ahead of schedule, without confusion, without wandering, winning, winning, winning again, this is the pursuit of the Warriors."

"I very much agree with what Zhang said. He is an excellent leader. The current Warriors are as effective as any other team."

"I am very happy to play with Zhang. This season, I feel the true charm of basketball. We will continue to win. Nothing can stop us from moving forward."
