Chapter 164 For Victory
Kobe had a lot of thoughts in his head, Zhang Chen's smile hurt him more than a lot of trash talk.

When he was still mixed, Zhang Chen had already dribbled the ball to the frontcourt of the Lakers. When Kobe ran back, Zhang Chen had already completed a dunk.

This dunk seems to hit Kobe's heart. Is this teaching him how to attack again? Impossible, impossible, he is the strongest player on the perimeter.

In fact, Zhang Chen didn't know that his little provocation would make Kobe think so much. At that time, he didn't have time to talk trash, so he used the simplified version of trash talk (emoji) instead.

However, he did deliberately stimulate the opponent. Since he wanted to defend, he had to make the opponent go crazy.

This kind of opponent is enough taste, it has been a long time since I have been so excited.

To deal with the Lakers, it is the correct way to separate their inside and outside lines, that is, O'Neal and Kobe as much as possible. It's just that many teams can't limit any of them even if they cut off the connection between them.

But Zhang Chen may restrict Kobe, it's possible, it's just possible, the more powerful Kobe, even Zhang Chen is not sure to completely restrain him, the defense just now is to give Kobe a hint to use the effect of absolute control up.

It all depends on the real ability in the future, but even if it is not 100% sure, Kobe is easier to deal with than O'Neal, that is for sure, and it is in the interest of the Warriors to let Kobe attack more.

Don't look at Kobe's volcanic eruption, conceding two goals in the opening game is nothing at all.

The Lakers still calmly followed their style of play. Fisher dribbled the ball across half court, and then Kobe circled around the inside to catch the ball, and then Kobe passed inside or attacked by himself or passed to the far end.

Although he was defended by Zhang Chen before, Kobe is not the kind of player who would lose confidence because of this kind of thing. The stronger the defense, the more he wants to score.

It's just that he is not a player who can easily fall into aggressive tactics. He forced the attack out of his own will, not because of anything else. O'Neill has stretched out the ball for a long time. Although he was a little angry, he still passed the ball. past.

O'Neill's style of play was different. He broke through and turned towards the bottom line explosively. However, he squeezed Dampier back a step and hit the ball with a rebound.

This kind of quick shot using super explosive power, the Warriors' flank attack is not so fast. Fortunately, this method, if it is not for the deep position, the hit rate is not high. Just hit.

In the Warriors' offense, Kobe did not come to defend Zhang Chen because he was stimulated. Although he defended well, he is the kind of player who is more persistent in offense. Defeating opponents on the offensive end is his biggest pursuit.

The Lakers' defense against Zhang Chen is to force him to shoot outside. Although his outside shots are very accurate, the Lakers still care more about his breakthrough and low post ability. Long shots can score but not lethal. This is their understanding. .

The Lakers rarely get shot, so they think differently than the Spurs.

Of course, Zhang Chen will not completely rely on the touch of the outside line. Fox is really serious about his defense. It is impossible for him to shoot from the outside line every time. The key to dealing with opponents with good height and weight is footwork.

Another breakthrough, Zhang Chen is very clear about where the opponent will come to help defend and pinch. He played in a team with good help defense from the beginning, so he is very familiar with these.

After only passing half the opponent's body, he flicked the ball in his hand from the side without looking at it.

Jamison catches the ball and hits a two-pointer from a long distance. Zhang Chen is always very familiar with the position of his teammates. This is his team ability.

Against the Lakers, he and Jamison are two strong points. The power forward position of the Lakers is their weakest link. Whether it is pulling out to play or playing inside, Jamison has the advantage, even if Robert Horry rotates After playing, the defense in this position is a bit stronger, and he is not afraid.

So every time he played against the Lakers, he played well.

Compared with the Spurs, the Warriors actually have more experience in dealing with the seemingly stronger Lakers. Sometimes it is like this. In addition to absolute strength, it is also necessary to consider tactical restraint and player position restraint. It is difficult for the Warriors to limit the two cores of the Spurs, but Kobe Bryant and Zhang Chen, one of the core of the Lakers, can cause restrictions to a certain extent. In terms of matchups, Jamison's ability can also be fully released.

Next, Kobe finally opened his mouth.

The game is like this, gradually increasing the intensity, unless one side uses unexpected moves at the beginning, otherwise there will not be much difference in the beginning or even in the first half.

And when it's time to exert strength, if one side is weaker, the gap will be widened at once, otherwise you will have to fight until the last quarter to determine life and death.

You come and I go back and forth for half a quarter, and Kobe can increase his shots.

Because the Warriors' defense against O'Neal is relatively tight, it is understandable for him to increase his shots.

The biggest difference in defense between Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes is that the height does not suffer, and the strength has a slight advantage. This is not a matter of technical level, but it is more important than technical level.

With the physical advantage, it is much more difficult for the opponent to make moves in front of him.

Kobe had to increase the difficulty of technical moves every time, and the result was a drop in hit rate.

Zhang Chen first used the effect of absolute control, which still played a certain misleading role, allowing Kobe to put a layer of shackles on himself.

But even with Bryant's poor shooting percentage, the Warriors didn't take advantage of the opportunity to get a big enough lead.

Because of defending Kobe, Zhang Chen did not make any effort on the offensive end for the time being, but let Jamison take advantage of the matchup to score, and let Larry Hughes consume Kobe's physical strength on the offensive end.

When it was time for the rotation, because O'Neal was on the court for a long time, Mark Jackson, who came off the bench, was not bad in weight, but he was still not as good as Dampier in defense. At this time, O'Neal should have exploded, but Kobe still occupied more the shot.

In this case, the Lakers can only call a timeout.

After changing Zhang Chen to defend Kobe in this game, the effect is obvious, that is, the Warriors have been leading in the score. Although the lead is not much, it is already a significant change compared to the previous game where they were always suppressed.

At this time, if the Lakers' internal and external lines cannot be well connected, it is actually more dangerous to go to the back, because the outside core of the team will have more opportunities to play with the ball. Can Kobe beat Zhang Chen? The team is not as confident as Kobe himself.

Moreover, O'Neal is their number one strength, and if they don't use it well, it will be a disadvantage no matter how you think about it. O'Neal is also upset if the ball doesn't arrive in time when the position is reached.

The head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, is very calm on the surface, but he is also depressed in his heart. He is a famous coach and always has to be a mediator for the core issue of inside and outside shots. O'Neal and Kobe both value this very much. The feeling of bringing a child.

But he is very good at this. It should be said that he is the best coach in the league. He took out the tactical board, and he drew the small tactics in the triangle tactics with a few strokes, and kept silent about the ball. Instead, it emphasizes how to win the game and how to make the core of the two inside and outside lines play well.

Anyway, only by doing what he said can O'Neal and Kobe play better, and doing what he said will naturally solve the problem of shooting rights.

The timeout of the Lakers is still very effective. When they come up again, their offensive cooperation has increased a lot, and the success rate has also increased. At this time, they have shooting ability except for O'Neal. As long as the ball is more than O'Neal's hands, Regardless of whether he ends the offense or not, there will definitely be more opportunities.

A good opportunity means a higher offensive success rate, and the Warriors' little offensive advantage is gradually being eroded.

In fact, after replacing Robert Horry, it is their real strongest lineup, mainly because the scope of attack and defense has expanded. At this time, Mark Jackson of the Warriors has also been replaced. When attacking, Zhang Chen needs to play Going to the position, and both Mark Jackson and Jamison will pull out, the Lakers will be empty if they follow the inside line, and if the opponent does not follow up, the outside line will have a chance.

When the defense is more difficult, it is also a good way to increase the attack power.

"After the Lakers scored in and out, they quickly made two passes on the perimeter. Fisher finally got a chance to hit a three-pointer. This time the Lakers' newly promoted main point guard kept more than [-]% of his three-pointers in the playoffs. The rate gave the Lakers strong fire support."

"Zhang Chen hit Fox hard in the low post. His strength is really strong. Kobe rushed over to pinch. Zhang Chen passed the ball to Larry Hughes who was unguarded. Larry Hughes broke through and scored the ball. Mark Jackson 2 hits."

The two teams used their respective advantages to create a lot of scoring opportunities.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors led by 52 points at 50:2.

"Zhang, is your physical strength okay?" Head coach Dave Cowens asked with concern during the intermission. According to the tactics of this game, Zhang Chen will need to make a big effort on the offensive end in the second half.

Because his rest time in this game was based on Kobe's, and Kobe's playing time was relatively long. It is not unreasonable for the head coach to worry about his physical strength.

"No problem, I can hold on." It is indeed a challenge for him to strengthen the offense in the second half of the game while defending Kobe, because he rarely takes on the heaviest defensive task in the Warriors, but if he can't do it If not, victory will be far away from him, so he will definitely do it.

At the beginning of the first half, Zhang Chen will make a very tough attack.

Carrying Fox's breakthrough head-on, the moment he came up to help defend from the inside, he hit the ball under the blockage of two people, and just made a quick stop jump shot. There is nothing too difficult except that the timing is very accurate, but this kind of offense is not. It is very domineering.

"The real game is about to start, are you sure you don't want to defend me?" Zhang Chen deliberately walked past Kobe after scoring the goal, and said lightly.
