Chapter 152

The disadvantage of having many big men is that they run slowly. The Warriors will not focus on fast break in this game, but they will never let go of the opportunity of fast break.

Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes launched a fast break, and the Mavericks could barely keep up with Nash and Finley. On the Warriors side, Cummings and Jamison followed relatively quickly.

It can be uploaded directly, or passed to the side, or passed back.

In such a scene of playing more and less, Zhang Chen would not waste it. He quickly went down the sideline and rushed to the basket on an inclined plane. After attracting the attention of the opponent's defender, he sent the ball to the basket with both hands. Larry Hughes Already jumped high and smashed the ball in.

Don't forget, this guy has also participated in the slam dunk contest. Although he was the cannon fodder in 2000, his ability to work in the air cannot be underestimated.

The cheers of the audience on the court are crazy. This is the home court of the playoffs. First of all, you must learn to play in the huge noise, especially for the away team. The psychological quality must be good.

Why do many people not perform well in the playoffs for the first time? There are too many things that are different from the regular season.

The Mavericks score a lot, but the three big men are not fast enough. The main reason is that they bully the Warriors because they are not tall enough. The Warriors also have their way, which is to use their strength to push the opponent away from the basket. place to squeeze.

The way the Mavericks dealt with it was to shoot. Their four attackers were expected to have a large range. Nash, Nowitzki and Finley can all shoot three-pointers, and Juwan Howard's attack points are also spread throughout the entire three-point area. .

If the opponent wants to make a hard shot, the Warriors don't have many options, especially the three points on the outside. Either the height is dominant, or the speed is dominant.

"Follow people closely and never let the opponent open to shoot."

This is the strategy of the Warriors. The shooting percentage is affected by many factors. As long as you do a good job in defense, sometimes it will be troublesome if you have too many attack points, and you will not know who to attack first.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Mavericks mainly attacked Finley.

There are relatively more attacking methods with advantages in the matchup, and the team's veteran qualifications have naturally become a more preferred choice.

Larry Hughes' defense is under pressure, and Zhang Chen has always encouraged him.

He also defended very hard, completely restricting the opponent with his footsteps, and Finley, who was not very good at playing with the ball, had no other good ways except shooting.

"Finley ran over again and got the ball from Nash's hands. He stepped on the three-point line and made a fallback jumper. Larry Hughes jumped up hard, but it didn't interfere with the opponent's shooting..."

"The basketball bounced off the rim. It seems that the entanglement without the ball consumed a lot of his energy. The ball missed. Jamison protected the rebound. The Mavericks quickly returned to defense. Zhang Chen received the ball It didn't force me to play fast."

"Jamison pulled to the perimeter, vacating the inside position, Zhang Chen started to break through, Bradley made up, Zhang Chen passed the ball to Dampier on the right, Dampier's pull... It's a pity, no People defended and didn't enter."

"Nash passed to Howard after a breakthrough, and Howard made a hook."

"Zhang Chen passed the ball to Larry Hughes on the side. Larry Hughes didn't shoot and passed the ball in. Jamison received the ball and made a side hook, which was also a hit."

In the first quarter, the shooting percentage of both sides was neither high nor low. It looked similar to the usual regular season, but the defense was very fierce. It may be because the first game of the playoffs was a little exciting, and both sides committed a lot of fouls.

At 26:24, the Warriors led by 2 points at the end of the first quarter.

"Defensive aggression is not the same as fouling. It needs to make the opponent uncomfortable, but it's okay to foul. If you enter the playoffs for the first time, you should feel it carefully. With me, everything will be fine."

For the rookie in the playoffs, Zhang Chen seized the opportunity to share his experience.

It doesn't matter if you make some mistakes at the beginning, the other party will also make mistakes, but you must have a good attitude and be active and courageous.

"Believe me, boys, that's the way it is in the playoffs, we win if we do better than our opponents, don't worry about other things, just try to do better than them." Head coach Dave Cowens It is also based on encouragement, which is what he did back then, so that he became a superstar without knowing it.

On the Mavericks' bench, their head coach Don Nelson let his disciples let go to shoot.

In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks players faithfully implemented the coach's arrangement, shooting more decisively than in the first quarter, and the shooting percentage was also very good.

Facing the opponent's offense, young players like Larry Hughes and Cummings are under a lot of pressure.

"It's okay, well done, no matter how many goals they score, I guarantee we can score more than them."

Zhang Chen has been stabilizing the situation on the field, almost never coming down to rest.

He understands that as long as his teammates can successfully adapt to the atmosphere of the playoffs and the Warriors can truly display their strength, they can fight against stronger teams.

"Jamison pulls to the weak side, and Zhang Chen asks for the ball in the low post. Facing a big man like Nowitzki, he actually plans to play with his back, which is really surprising."

"Turned back so quickly, threw Nowitzki to the side almost instantly, and dunked at the start. Good job, the Warriors should consider other methods."

Nowitzki is also very flexible, but he is a relative inside player. He and Zhang Chen are good on the offensive end, but they are really at a disadvantage on the defensive end.

Don Nelson also planned to make a strange move. During the regular season, they used Finley to defend Zhang Chen. The effect was not good, but it seems that Nowitzki is not good either.

He was also very decisive, and immediately replaced Finley, while Nowitzki protected from the back, strengthened the protection of the penalty area, and let Larry Hughes shoot outside.

"You guys are too naive to think that this can prevent me." Zhang Chen snorted disdainfully, pulled up and made another shot.

His biggest advantage is his comprehensiveness. Whether he has breakthroughs or good shots, it is indeed impossible to prevent him by limiting his ability in a certain aspect. He is still using words to continue to put pressure on the opponent.

In fact, one's hit rate is not too important, as long as you are better than the opponent, or more precisely, you need to be better than the opponent at critical moments.

When the opponent's defense broke through, he even played three-pointers, not only playing by himself, but also playing with Jamison. After attracting the attention of the defense, whether it is Cummings or Blaylock in the first position, he can also shoot three points.

Driven by Zhang Chen, the Warriors competed with their opponents for shooting, and their shooting was not bad at all.

When many teams play like this, the defensive strength will be inadvertently reduced. Zhang Chen will not let this happen. Defense is very important in the playoffs. The offensive end can be played simpler, but the defense must not be perfunctory thing.

This is the conclusion he has watched countless playoff games and his own two playoff trips.

Many people may know this kind of thing, but it is easy to slacken when it is actually done. Why are we tired? Anyway, we can score, and the opponent is not so desperate to defend... All kinds of excuses will always wear down the players Defensive concentration.

But with Zhang Chen's constant reminders, the Warriors' defensive attention has not declined.

It seems that the scores of the two teams are rising alternately, but the Warriors actually have fewer shots than when they were shooting. At this time, everyone's scores are similar, which shows the defensive effect of the Warriors.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks only changed at the center position. Bradley played so long, and the Warriors changed at the [-]st and [-]th positions. They were to maintain a strong defense. energy.

In the playoffs, Zhang Chen, Jamison, and Larry Hughes will naturally play for a long time, while the other players need to maintain their strength and work hard.

"Zhang Chen suddenly made a breakthrough. He had been shooting before. It was too late for Nowitzki to defend. Zhang Chen scored a layup."

"The Warriors were pressing all over the court, Nash was flanked, not good, the rest of the Mavericks on the court are not good at handling the ball...Zhang Chen forced Nash to pass the ball... so fast, Larry Hughes Steal."

Relying on the rhythm change at the last moment, the Warriors entered the second half with an 8-point lead.

In the second half, the Warriors' defensive effect was finally more obvious.

The players of the Mavericks have some physical problems, and the rotation is very stressful. The playoffs are greeting the players.

"Follow a little tighter, run up, and get in front of them."

The Mavericks' shooting percentage began to decline, and the Warriors slowly controlled the rhythm of the game. In fact, the Warriors' shooting percentage was also declining. There are other means of attack.

Zhang Chen, Jamison, and Mark Jackson can all play in the low post.

The Mavericks are different. They are not allowed to shoot and they are much weaker in other aspects. Finley and Juwan-Howard's backs are just mediocre, and Nowitzki can't stand Zhang Chen.

In this quarter, the Warriors dragged the pace very slowly, and neither side scored many points, but they successfully extended their lead to 10 points.

After getting through the third quarter, the Mavericks, who felt that they had slowed down, still couldn't shoot well in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors relied on Zhang Chen's low-post singles, and simple offensive tactics such as attracting the ball after the defense scored more stably. Not to mention how efficient it is, but the piecemeal scoring is better than the Mavericks.

The combined score of the two teams in the first half exceeded 80 points, but the combined score of the two teams in the second half did not even reach [-] points.

At 96:84, the Warriors successfully won their first home game.

"How about it, brothers, the playoffs are like this. Victory belongs to the team that works hard on defense and works harder. You are also players in the playoffs. However, we have to pursue more, let's work hard together."

Hard work is rewarded with wins and nothing inspires a young player more than that.

The young Warriors, on the battlefield of the playoffs, showed their determination, they want to win.
