Chapter 154 The player who decides the outcome of the game

Zhang Chen's encouragement is very effective, because he has never let his teammates down.

Especially the young players, the belief in him has been a little blind, and a group of Warriors quickly regained their confidence.

But their head coach, Dave Cowens, has to consider more things. If he sends Dampier and others up, he will definitely be cut. It is the position that needs to be rotated most.

Zhang Chen walked over and talked with the head coach for a while, "Is it really okay?" Dave Cowens was a little skeptical about Zhang Chen's suggestion.

"Coach, I will never do something I'm not sure about. A shooting-type team can't last that long."

Dave Cowens nodded. This season, he and Zhang Chen discussed a lot of tactics together. Many suggestions from this All-Star disciple have achieved very good results.

Some players are born with a keen sense of victory, and he thinks Zhang Chen is like this.

In fact, Zhang Chen was just saying something like that. The real situation is that he has systematic help. Poor Dave Cowens will never know. Master Tactician.

At the start of the second half, the Mavericks still guarded Zhang Chen strictly.

The best way to deal with tight defense is to respond toughly. If you want to do this, you must not let the opponent guess what you are going to do next.

Zhang Chen is suddenly tough in singles, and suddenly chooses to pass the ball, which always makes the defenders at a loss.

The key is that his personal scoring methods are rich, making it hard to guard against, and can always make the Mavericks' defenders feel nervous and overwhelmed.

"Zhang Chen's sudden acceleration left Finley behind in an instant. He took a European step and directly picked the basket and succeeded. Nowitzki's supplementary defense did not play any role."

"Here it is again, Zhang Chen's low post shot, once again turned around and shot before the double-team was completed, he can turn to the baseline, or turn to the middle, and the hit rate is very good."

"Nowitzki's turning and leaning back is also a hit. His shooting is unbelievable. When Finley's shooting rate drops, the presence of the Germans ensures the Mavericks' lead. Scoring such a score fully proves that he is much better than his predecessors."

The third quarter was when the players were more tired, and Jamison's scoring was also affected. The Mavericks' defensive strategy of blocking the interior also limited the performance of Larry Hughes and Mark Jackson.

In the second half of this quarter, Zhang Chen stepped up his personal attack again.

"The Warriors opened up again to let Zhang Chen play singles. Now their main tasks of offense and defense are on him. Playing like this is too tiring. I don't know if his physical strength can last until the last moment."

"Zhang Chen flashed past the defense and made a jump shot. The ball circled around the basket and fell down. Sure enough, there was a problem with his physical strength. The Warriors had too little rotation in this game."

"It was still Zhang Chen's offense. He didn't back down, but tried his best to hit the basket."

"It's a good game. It's okay to keep this rhythm. The opponent is already tired." Don Nelson calmed down and the team took the lead. Zhang Chen's physical strength had problems, and he seemed to have found the key to victory.

At the end of the third quarter, although Zhang Chen tried his best, in terms of score, not only did they not recover the points, but they fell behind even more. 14 points was the difference between them and the Mavericks.

"If the Warriors don't make changes, their game is in danger."

"Someone must stand up to support Zhang Chen. The Mavericks made it clear in this game that they will always pinch Zhang Chen."

In the fourth quarter, judging from the lineup, the Warriors have made changes, but their changes are somewhat incomprehensible.

"The Warriors actually replaced Dampier again, is it because the leading Mavericks can't use the slashing tactics, or they have nothing to do."

"I feel that it is not a good choice to replace Dampier at this time. What the Warriors need is more people to score. It is difficult to recover the 14-point gap with Zhang Chen alone."

"The whistle blew again. The Mavericks still fouled Dampier tactically. The team coached by Don Nelson will not make it easier for the opponent."

Now that Dampier has been replaced, the Warriors are ready to be cut.

This is Zhang Chen's suggestion. In fact, other Warriors players, including the head coach, are also a little worried, but Zhang Chen is praying that the boss's mental quality will not be too bad, but this kind of rough insider usually doesn't think too much.

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he made two free throws. Although it is impossible to make two free throws again and again in such a state of momentum, there should be no problem with a higher than usual free throw percentage.

"Defense, defense..." Zhang Chen reminded his teammates loudly that the risk of letting Dampier come up was also to increase the defensive ability inside. Although Mark Jackson has good offensive ability, defense is not his strong point. Jiu physically can't keep up.

The Mavericks handed over the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to face the opponent's offense directly. Zhang Chen prefers this situation.

Nowitzki wanted to push him, but he still couldn't push him, and turned around and leaned back again. Zhang Chen stood up one step earlier, which made the opponent's take-off very uncomfortable, and naturally his shooting was not so stable.

The Warriors got the rebound and the Mavericks fouled Dampier again.

Don Nelson is not the kind of coach who you take one penalty and then stop. He will definitely make you uncomfortable.

Dampier made two free throws this time, and everyone thought his free throws had returned to normal. It was just an accident, and he would miss two free throws immediately to average his shooting percentage.

Unexpectedly, when the opponent fouled again, he scored two more free throws.

"Has Dampier suddenly realized that the Mavericks are giving points to the Warriors in vain."

"Maybe the coach's trust gave him confidence, but it feels like the Warriors are lucky. Will the Mavericks continue to cut down? This tactic is not easy to use all the time."

In such a situation, Don Nelson also hesitated. Players have a sense of touch. If Dampier feels good during this period of time, fouling him will really give points. They are still leading now. He decided to wait for a while and see. It depends on the situation.

Their shooting percentage didn't drop as much as they did in the previous game, but the Warriors' shooting percentage improved.

"Zhang Chen scored the ball, and Jamison made a three-point shot from the bottom corner."

"It was Zhang Chen who attracted the defense again, and the veteran Blaylock hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle."

The score was approaching at once, and Don Nelson gritted his teeth and continued to cut Dampier.

But this trick is not easy to use at all, Dampier's free throws suddenly become very stable, and occasionally miss a free throw has no effect at all, but their offense is in trouble, and the score is overtaken by the Warriors.

The 14-point lead, although not very big, was still a good advantage, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye. Their head coach Don Nelson couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

But immediately, he saw hope. Under Zhang Chen's defense, Nowitzki almost lost his balance, but he still hit the shot, and the score became the lead of the Mavericks again.

Yes, at this time, tactics and so on are secondary. At the last moment, it is the performance of the stars that determines the outcome of the game.

How could Zhang Chen show weakness, he dribbled the ball across half court, and when he got near the three-point line, he took off and hit a three-pointer.

Although Nowitzki didn't start dribbling from the backcourt, he also asked for the ball after halftime and responded with a three-pointer. Zhang Chen is ready, if he shoots against him, even if there is With a gap of 14 centimeters, he will also interfere with the ball.

Leaning back, actually leaning back outside the three-point line, Zhang Chenfei was in the air, and he was also very surprised.

Is Nowitzki already so powerful at this time? The basketball fell into the basket with a beautiful arc in the air. Zhang Chen saw a trace of firmness in the opponent's eyes.

"That's what's interesting." The corners of Zhang Chen's mouth curled up.

"Zhang Chen catches the ball and breaks through. The first step is too far, followed by a pull-up shot, decisive and confident..."

"Nowitzki gave up the back-up attack. Now every time he attacks, he faces Zhang Chen's jumper head-on, and the front-facing back is too accurate. It's unbelievable that his height can make such a move."

"Not giving in to each other, it seems that the outcome of this game between the Warriors and the Mavericks will fall on these two people."

"I have to say here that the players in the class of 98 are really talented."

The coaches of the two teams did not deliberately make other arrangements. At this time, the players on the field should decide the outcome of the game.

Zhang Chen is very serious. He stares at the opponent's movements carefully. He first faces you with his side and protects the ball well. There is no way to stop it.

However, it is not without a little gap.

When the defense is tight, Nowitzki will change the side facing position. For example, the left side of the body is facing the defender. When the defender sticks to him, he will switch to the right side of the body. It is the use of body movements to gain space for the shot.

When doing this, he dangles the ball from a very low position, still protecting well, but only this time the ball passes in front of the defender.

After several observations, Zhang Chen finally discovered some patterns.

If the back is facing him, there will be no such gap, but the hit rate is not so high when playing back. Every attack method will have its own weakness, and it depends on whether the defender can catch it.

In the last minute of the game, the Warriors only led by 1 point, and Nowitzki held the ball.

"Steal, Zhang Chen's steal, the referee indicated that there was no foul..."

"At this critical moment, Nowitzki made a fatal mistake."

"Zhang Chen ran all the way and completed the dunk."
