Chapter 160 Alternative defense is useless

The Spurs' defense is not a mistake, but they think that Zhang Chen's physical strength should be affected. They can't let him find open teammates as easily as in the previous game, and give him a slight offensive opportunity. will be affected.

Such an approach proved that their understanding of Zhang Chen was not deep enough.

Since Larry Hughes took on the heaviest defensive task on the perimeter in the Warriors, Zhang Chen's physical strength has never been a problem at all.

His physical strength is already very good. The few games with physical problems in the past few seasons are all due to the consumption of too much energy on the defensive end, and the Spurs have no outstanding players on the outside, even without Larry Hughes. It can't cause too much consumption to Zhang Chen.

While this was just another attempt by the Spurs, it was clear their attempt failed.

When he found that Zhang Chen's attack was still very powerful, Popovich immediately asked his disciples to attack firmly again. This kind of attempt can't go on regardless, otherwise the game will be lost, 2:2 or 3: 1, such scores vary greatly.

Faced with another tight attack, Zhang Chen did not hesitate at all, and once again distributed the ball neatly.

"Blaylock hits the [-] and his athleticism has suffered since he came back from injury, but the feel of the shot hasn't been lost."

"Mark Jackson received a pass from Zhang Chen and also hit a three-pointer from the outside. The Spurs' defense should pay attention. This is an outsider with outside shooting ability."

The Spurs quickly discovered that, like the previous game, the Warriors' shooting percentage at critical moments was very good.

It is understandable that the core players have good mental quality and high hits at the last moment, but it is a bit unreasonable that the whole team is like this, but the situation of the Warriors is like this now, and the Spurs can only secretly complain about bad luck. '

This situation also has a lot to do with the lineups of the two sides. Now five players on the Warriors field have the ability to shoot from the outside. There is no way, as long as the opponent is close to the three-second zone, he must attack.

Therefore, now that both sides can come up with opportunities, it depends on which side has a better grasp.

In fact, the situation was similar at the beginning of the game, except that the Spurs had a better ability to seize opportunities at that time, but in the fourth quarter, the Warriors seemed to have a better ability to seize opportunities.

It stands to reason that Zhang Chen, Larry Hughes, and Jamison on the Warriors' side played longer and should be affected. In terms of personnel, the Warriors replaced Dampier with Mark Jackson. But the hit rate of others has also stabilized.

On the basketball court, there is no time to ask why.

The Spurs paused several times to arrange tactics, but the gains were minimal. The Warriors' 1-point lead has become 6 points, and the game time has been less than half a quarter.

At this time, things like tactics are already secondary, and the determination of the players and the state of the players are even more critical.

At 108:91, the Warriors tied the total score to 2:2, and the Spurs had no choice but to accept the away defeat.

In the four games, the score gap between the two sides is not very big, but the feeling in the fourth quarter of each game is the same, that is, there is no hope for the losing side. Professionally speaking, it is the losing side was brought into the opponent's rhythm.

"Well, the Warriors are a great team, but we need to win, really, otherwise my life will be very difficult." Faced with reporters' questioning, Spurs coach Popovich's tone changed.

But those who are familiar with him know that this is a sign that he attaches great importance to his opponents to a certain extent.

Regardless of the preparations and emotions of both sides, the battle of Tianwang Mountain will come when it should come.

With a little nervousness and a little bit of determination, the players from both sides stepped onto the battlefield again.

There is no need to say anything, at this time, it is just a fight.

The Spurs took the lead in attacking. Duncan turned around and squeezed in front of Jamison. Jamison used all his strength and stuck behind the opponent. It was still the same old routine. Terry Porter passed to Daniels on the side. Adams lobbed the ball to Duncan again.

Duncan tried his best to sit inside. He is not the kind of insider who relies on his body, but facing Jamison, who is flexible in his feet, relying on his body is a more efficient offensive method.

The first ball generally rarely chooses to attack immediately, because the team also needs to check the state of the opponent's core.

But this time when Duncan squeezed inside, Larry Hughes suddenly rushed out quickly, raised his hand and cut towards the ball.

Although Duncan was an inside player, his reaction was not slow. He quickly raised the ball with both hands and passed it out. But at this time, a figure rushed to the Spurs receiver very quickly and threw the ball It was broken.

From Zhang Chen's start to stealing the ball, it took only a blink of an eye. Duncan accidentally fell into the Warriors' trap with the ball.

After stealing the ball, Zhang Chen quickly rushed to the opponent's half court to complete the dunk.

This kind of sudden attack is the best for the first time, but the effect is already very good. It's a great feeling to give the opponent a bad start at the beginning of a crucial game.

This is considered a mistake by Duncan. For some players, the key game starts like this, and the subsequent games may be affected, but Duncan is different. In the next attack of the Spurs, he threw the ball without changing his expression. middle.

Sure enough, it is unrealistic to expect such players to have their own problems.

Zhang Chen also respects such an opponent, but there is no room for loss in the game.

Do a better defense and try to seize every opportunity. The more difficult it is, the more you need to go all out to play the game, the more fun it is. People who have not experienced it will never feel it.

In a game like this, both sides are doing well enough, but by the second half of the first quarter, the advantage came to the Spurs' side, when you have two good inside things, even doing the same thing , and it will be much easier.

"It's almost time for the Spurs to rotate again. I really want to know what strategy they will adopt this time."

"For the two teams now, the performance of the Warriors' small lineup is the key to the outcome of the game."

"The Spurs had a normal rotation, Duncan remained on the court, and the Warriors switched to the key lineup that they won the last two games. Zhang Chen appeared in the paint."

"Malik Rose, who came off the bench, almost hugged Zhang Chen, and it wasn't when the Warriors were attacking. When the Spurs were attacking, Malik Rose didn't participate, but was desperately pushing Zhang Chen out. squeeze……"

"Is this the strategy of the Spurs in this game? There is a feeling of slanting the sword. I don't know if it will affect the Warriors' quick counterattack."

In this lineup, the Warriors mainly protect rebounds from Zhang Chen and Jamison. Zhang Chen's rebounding ability is a little stronger. The Spurs' plan is to sacrifice an offensive point to prevent Zhang Chen from competing for rebounds and reduce the Warriors' chances of advancing quickly.

There are people defending Zhang Chen in both offense and defense. This kind of move is not something that ordinary coaches can come up with. If it is an ordinary player, it will be really annoying.

But Zhang Chen didn't find it annoying, it also reduced his defensive pressure, and this kind of treatment was not difficult for him to deal with, he did not lose in terms of strength, and he was much stronger in terms of speed. Simply put, Malik- It's a bit unrealistic for Rose to push him outside.

"Stupid guy, that's not how you play basketball." Zhang Chen sarcastically turned around and came to the other side of the opponent's body, jumped up and took off a rebound.

Isn't he also marking him in the offense? Just treat him as the offense. There are many methods he can use to get rid of the defense of an opponent who is not very fast.

And he only needs to get rid of the opponent's offense when he fights. For him, it saves some energy. People come around him.

But in that case, the Spurs may not need to attack.

Seeing that the tactics that he thought of with great pains were easily deciphered by Zhang Chen, Popovich was extremely depressed.

But he believed that this tactic could not be ineffective. Isn't Malik Rose a good executor? His head turned quickly.

Can't find five suitable people to limit the opponent's small lineup, can't you find a suitable person to limit Zhang Chen on the defensive end? The team's player salary expenditure of nearly 6000 million this season, a player like this If no one can find it, it will feel like your mouth is full of bitterness.

Look at the situation again, if it doesn't work, just replace Zhang Chen and carry it out. Even if Zhang Chen can't be completely restricted, it's good to have a little influence. After all, the scores of the two sides are very close when they lose, and they only need a little more advantage. The balance of victory will lean towards them.

"Zhang Chen was not affected by the Spurs' alternative offensive tactics. Instead, the Spurs were somewhat unable to fully compete for offensive rebounds due to their own tactics."

"The Spurs have replaced Samaki-Walker again. This player is tall and long, and he has a good ability to control the rebound..."

"It's still the same tactic, the Spurs still want to defend Zhang Chen while attacking."

These people are very persistent, what are they doing with so many useless things, but it doesn't matter, they can't hinder him anyway, Zhang Chen is full of fighting spirit, no matter what tactics the opponent uses, what he has to do is to win the game.

"Hurry up..." He successfully protected the backboard again, and he passed the Spurs player who was going to block him on the spot with one acceleration.

With full speed, in just a moment, he came to the opponent's half court. Facing the Spurs players who hurried back to the defense, he accelerated and changed direction very simply, and rushed past the opponent. When the speed and strength were successfully combined After that, dribbling on the move was too easy.

"After Zhang Chen's breakthrough, Larry Hughes made an easy layup, and the running Warriors were unstoppable."
