Chapter 167 The Winning Node

The Lakers struggled a bit with defense, the Warriors didn't.

Facing Shaquille O'Neal, Zhang Chen single-handedly defended against Kobe, and the Warriors fought with them for shooting percentage. It was very simple and purposeful. In the eyes of young players, it even felt very passionate.

This is the battle with the Lakers in the fourth quarter, and they will win together.

"Larry Hughes made a throw and Zhang Chen's 10th assist."

"The Lakers' flanking was a step slower. Zhang Chen broke through Fox's defense and hit the board to the basket."

"The Warriors' offense is getting smoother. They overtook the score with precise shots. The Lakers' defense is a little messed up."

How could this happen? The Lakers players couldn't believe it again. It doesn't matter that Zhang Chen is good. After all, he is a player who has proven himself. But the other players of the Warriors also played so well, which made them uneasy.

Especially Kobe, he can't accept that his performance is not as good as Zhang Chen.

"Kobe completed a difficult goal, and the game became more and more tense."

"Zhang Chen responded immediately and scored the ball after making a foul. The Warriors' lead has come to 6 points."

"It's a steal. You can never lose your focus against the Warriors. They have too many steals."

"Kobe continued to choose a high-difficulty attack...it was amazing, the ball was blocked by Zhang Chen."

The Warriors played a small climax at the last moment to directly seal the victory. At 110:100, they overtook the total score at home to 2:1.

The result of this game can be said to be surprising. It was expected that Zhang Chen's exhaustion was not seen, but the overall good condition of the Warriors was seen.

In terms of victory and defeat, the voice of criticism from the outside world gradually fell on Kobe, who believed that his being suppressed by Zhang Chen was the main reason for the Lakers' failure.

There are also people who firmly believe that the Warriors just feel good, and winning is not stable.

There are all kinds of theories. In the era of more and more developed information, players not only have to face pressure from opponents, but also pressure from all aspects. Without a good psychological quality, just those public opinions can crush you.

In the face of pressure, players may have various ways of expressing themselves, but the most correct way is undoubtedly to play well.

For the current situation where the team is leading, Zhang Chen had expected it a long time ago. He felt during the regular season that the Lakers are better than the Spurs. It does not mean that the Lakers are weak. As mentioned before, the Warriors' staffing poses a greater threat to the Lakers.

The Warriors were originally the kind of team with good equipment but poor performance. The reason was that they did not have a leader. The arrival of Zhang Chen happened to make this team stronger.

Because of injuries, they worked hard at the last moment to get fourth in the Western Conference, but their real strength is no weaker than any team.

Some players on the team may still be a little green, but after the baptism of the playoff tie-break, they have become more mature in terms of skills and minds.

This kind of thing is over 2:1, and the same scene is also being staged in the East. The Bucks also won the 76ers two games in a row after losing one game. At this time, it is really uncertain who will win.

In the fourth game, the person standing next to Zhang Chen when the Warriors attacked was finally replaced by Kobe.

This is mainly Kobe's own request. Lakers head coach Phil Jackson can't continue to stop it. Besides, they also want to change their luck. If Kobe can limit Zhang Chen, even if the offensive end is affected, it is still a good deal. , Aggravate Kobe's role on the defensive end and other starters' offensive roles. The lagging behind in the total score makes them have to take the lead in seeking changes.

"Why, finally couldn't help it, but it's useless." Zhang Chen calmly spat out trash talk, Kobe's defense is indeed different, and if you look carefully, he is also a star with high stats in all aspects, Like Zhang Chen's defense, he performed very well technically and physically.

Other offensive players may be greatly affected, but for a defensive player like Zhang Chen, no matter what kind of defense he faces, he can calmly face it.

If he hit hard with all his might, Kobe alone couldn't stop him.

In the same way, when Kobe went crazy, Zhang Chen couldn't completely stop him.

Defending this kind of thing still depends on who has more restrictions on who. Now the game has just begun. Except for the first two goals, the two will not work hard regardless of physical strength. What's more, if Zhang Chen enters the distance from the basket In a relatively close position, the Lakers will still attack.

In the case of mutual restriction, the offensive performance of other players of the two teams is very important.

For example, the performance of Fisher, Fox and even Horry and Brian Shaw of the Lakers, such as the performance of Jamison, Larry Hughes, Mark Jackson of the Warriors, and the performance of two veterans Blalock and Mullin. .

"Fisher hit a three-pointer again. In this year's playoffs, this player who is in the same class as Kobe finally showed his energy."

"Larry Hughes dodged beautifully in the air and completed a difficult layup in front of O'Neal. His skills are impeccable. The important thing is that he has a brave heart."

"Mark Jackson once again used his range to complete the shot. With Zhang Chen reducing his offense, the Warriors' offense is still very sharp."

"The Lakers hit another three-pointer. With Shaquille O'Neal in the paint, they don't have to worry about not having a chance to shoot a three-pointer. As long as they make an open three-pointer, the Lakers' attack can destroy all defenses."

The tight defense against the main scorer did not let the two teams fall into a scoring shortage. There were five players on the court, and the team played more players. As long as the abilities of other players were played, the game was still fierce and exciting, and they could stand in the West. There will be no difference between the players in the finals.

But in the end, it will definitely be the core players of the two teams that will determine the outcome of the game, but the time has not yet come.

On the scene, you come and go, and the score is also rising alternately. Let alone other people, the head coaches of the two teams can't understand the trend of the game. It should be said that everyone's tactics are successful, but they can win the game. There is only one team.

From the beginning, expecting other players to burst out and kill the opponent, it gradually became just not to be killed by the opponent's burst. When the core players exert their strength at the critical moment, they will definitely win the victory.

Whether it is in the hearts of coaches or players, they have great trust in the core players of their own players.

Usually, in the third quarter, it is necessary to try to exert force, but the defense on both sides has not relaxed at all, and the other players feel good. After a few rounds of force, both sides chose to continue to wait for the final critical moment.

There is nothing wrong with the bilateral decision-making. It is almost the safest way to burst out the strongest energy at the last moment, but when facing the Warriors, such a decision is not safe, it is too conceited.

This is not to blame the Lakers. Although they have played a few games and have contests in the regular season, they still don't know much about each other. Section [-] is irrational behavior.

However, this is also the case with the Lakers. They often lag behind and take away the game in the last wave. Therefore, they don't pay much attention to the status of the Warriors in the fourth quarter. The Lakers and Warriors are the obvious points, but most of the strong teams are more or less like this.

It is impossible for players to go all out or concentrate throughout the game. It is not bad to be perfect at the last moment. Under this concept, the head coaches of both sides did not notice anything wrong.

Kobe tried his best to endure while defending Zhang Chen. When the last quarter came, he didn't need to worry about his physical strength. He was fully fired. This time he must beat Zhang Chen.

After three quarters, the scores of both sides are not low, 83:86, the Warriors are temporarily behind by 3 points.

Even if you don't know much about basketball, the audience sitting in front of the TV knows that the aces of both sides must show their strength. The core of the team that can lead the team to this point is not something that can be easily restricted by flanking or some defense. O'Neal It is possible to push the ass of the flanker away, and Zhang Chen can also ignore the defensive attack. Except for the frontal defensive attack, it is easier to get rid of the defense. It is easier than reaction and concentration. Because of the difference in strength and physical fitness, even if it is at the same time After reacting, those powerful players can also complete the action first.

O'Neal was the first to show off. He turned around nimbly and then swung his big butt to occupy the position under the basket. The Lakers passed the ball in time, and Dampier could only hug him.

Foul free throws, when both teams feel good, Zhang Chen naturally chooses the status seal, but in this case, O'Neal also hits a free throw, and the system does not have a great impact on him.

During the Warriors' offense, Zhang Chen also has to go down to the low post to ask for the ball, so that he is closer to the basket, can catch the ball, and it is easier for his teammates to pass the ball than when he cannot run. This is just a way. Just playing the ball, his comprehensive offensive skills give him many choices.

Leaning on Kobe, Zhang Chen came up after receiving the ball in a pinch, but Zhang Chen didn't dribble, turned around and forced the ball in, so the pinch had no effect at all.

When the Lakers were attacking, Kobe also wanted to do the same, but his strength was a little weak, and he couldn't take off well when he directly resisted Zhang Chen. He quickly dribbled the ball to the outside, and then accelerated to rush in. When Zhang Chen got close to him, he turned his back and leaned back, and immediately turned back again.

A set of extremely complicated movements was done very smoothly, and he still threw the ball in with such high difficulty.

He waved his arm and showed a provocative look at Zhang Chen.

"Interesting." Zhang Chen smiled, bursting out with a strong fighting spirit.
