Chapter 171 The Determination of Two People
If Foyle can attack, he is definitely the first choice for the Warriors to play a small lineup. If Foyle is good at single defense, he is definitely a hot center candidate in the league.

If Jamison helps defend well, then his value is no less than that of Webber, Duncan, and Garnett.

If Dampier is good on offense and Mark Jackson is good on defense, then they are the top centers in the league.

It's a pity that there is no if. The Warriors' inside line is very good in some aspects, but no one can support the team's inside line well.

So before they met the Spurs and the Lakers, they could only try various methods.

The key is that Zhang Chen encountered a few players that he couldn't solve with single defense. If he couldn't solve it with single defense, he must have inside help defense, and their lineup had to be changed.

Should Zhang Chen go to the [-]st position and Foyle to the [-]th position, or should the starting lineup remain the same? Zhang Chen and Jamison switched positions when defending. After training and testing, the head coach still decided to let Zhang Chen and Jamison switch positions. defensive position.

Foyle didn't play many games in the playoffs, and his current state is not very good. In addition, Zhang Chen had an outstanding performance at the fourth position before, and the Warriors still made a safer decision.

If this can't limit Iverson, they will make adjustments.

In the second game, the head-to-head confrontation between Zhang Chen and Iverson that countless people were looking forward to did not come.

The Warriors are still in the previous starting lineup, and Larry Hughes is still defending Iverson, but the Warriors' defensive position, Jamison appeared next to Aaron McGee, and Zhang Chen stood on the inside.

"Zhang Chen appeared in the inside position again, and the Warriors didn't change to a small lineup."

"Snow handed the ball into Iverson's hands, and Larry Hughes was pressing very hard. In this case... Just as he was about to say that it would be difficult to prevent Iverson's breakthrough, he rushed over."

"Can the 76ers score first? Iverson has pulled up... Zhang Chen appeared in front of him and almost completely blocked Iverson's shooting line."

"Iverson adjusted the arc of his shot in the air and still threw the ball."

"The power of the ball is a little bit weaker. Is that why Zhang Chen appeared on the inside? The ability to assist defense is definitely at the top level."

If it is done, it should be said that Zhang Chen is a good choice to help defend in the interior just to deal with Iverson. He reacts faster than ordinary interior defenders and has a larger defensive range.

"Larry, well done." After successfully defending, he also loudly encouraged Larry Hughes.

If you are facing other teams, you may be a little overwhelmed, but facing Iverson, who averages 40 shots per game, limiting his offense is equivalent to limiting the offense of the 76ers. It is necessary to do so.

When the Warriors were attacking, Aaron McGee defended Zhang Chen. McGee's defense was not bad, but compared to Zhang Chen's level of players, he was at an average level, whether it was height, strength, or technique. In all aspects, Zhang Chen has the advantage.

It’s just that the 76ers’ defense against Zhang Chen is also very strict. The Warriors’ defense method against Iverson is to defend against throwing inside to help defend, while the 76ers’ defense method against Zhang Chen is to attack Zhang Chen. According to the previous playoffs, the attack method For the time being, it is the best way to deal with Zhang Chen, especially for teams with the ability to help defend inside.

So Zhang Chen shot immediately after receiving the ball. Such a shot is difficult to defend. Facing McGee, who is shorter than him, his shooting percentage is also good, and the shot is a hit.

In the last game, he also hit a lot of catch-and-shoot shots like this, but the shooting percentage was naturally lower compared to playing with the ball and shots close to the basket. The existence of Mutombo made him have to reduce the chance of hitting the inside.

So on a stage like the finals where the defense is strictly guarded against, it is better to fight hard to get closer to victory, especially when you only need to defend one player fiercely, the things you have to do are difficult but not complicated.

"Larry Hughes' defense against Iverson was very tight. Iverson came out from the inside, caught the ball and tried to shoot from a long distance, and it was a little bit wide. Larry Hughes' interference was still very successful."

"Jamison's running is very good, and Zhang Chen's scoring is also very timely. As long as Jamison plays at a high level, even if the 76ers flank Zhang Chen, they can't stop the Warriors from attacking."

"In the case of strict defense against the main players of both sides, the performance of other players is critical."

"The Warriors have a lot of people playing. Relatively speaking, the main players of the 76ers need to stay on the court for too long, but their fighting spirit is very strong, and the consecutive tiebreakers have not defeated them."

The 76ers' second scoring point is Aaron McGee. Jamison can't completely limit him, but as long as Iverson can't go crazy, this 76ers will not be terrible.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chen dared to play against Tyrone Hill, who had no offensive power on the defensive end. The other players of the 76ers did not say that they could not attack, but when Iverson was on the court, they seemed to be somewhat incapable of attacking.

Like Zhang Chen, Iverson has long been accustomed to various defenses. For the Warriors' strategy, he can choose to increase his outside shots, or he can choose to rush in and confront Zhang Chen head-on. As for how to do it, it depends entirely on him. Feel.

No one, no defensive method can guard against him, is Iverson's inner feeling.

Zhang Chen will not be timid to help defend his breakthrough inside.

Just for the team's victory, he will also try some other methods, but if those methods are not obvious, he will immediately turn on the killing mode.

In the first quarter, Zhang Chen and Iverson did not attack with all their strength. The other players of the two teams got a lot of offensive opportunities. Compared with the offense of other teams, the Warriors still have a slight advantage, leading by 4 points also proved this fact.

Zhang Chen is quite satisfied with this result, as long as he can hold on to the score, the failure of playing is because he was behind in the score at the beginning, and he couldn't catch up to the end of the whole game.

The 76ers also feel that it is acceptable, but Iverson must slowly exert his strength.

"Iverson tried his second shot from outside the three-point line and hit it this time. Larry Hughes didn't dare to press too tight at this distance."

"Zhang Chen responded immediately, and the 76ers didn't dare to flank him at such a distance."

"Although there are not many times when they face each other directly, it is also very enjoyable to watch the sharp attack of the two."

Generally speaking, the two will also choose to pass the ball, but the Warriors players seem to be stronger. After all, they are more capable of creating opportunities, especially at the beginning of the rotation. The 76ers have less rest time for the main players. , the more difficult it is for players who are rotated to perform well.

After the Warriors have been tempered in the previous playoffs, the performance of the bench is also very stable, which is in stark contrast to the situation of the 76ers.

Under such circumstances, the Warriors' defense against Iverson became tighter, and Iverson once again strengthened his attack. He played almost all the games in the playoffs. This is also a severe test for the Warriors' defense. , Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes would not go down to rest if the score could not be drawn.

"Allen, don't even think about scoring easily in the next game."

"Zhang, even so, you can't stop me. I will definitely lead the team to victory."

Both are full of confidence, but there is no doubt that there will only be one winning team.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors extended the score advantage to 49 points 41:8.

"That's it, keep it up, boys, we have found the key to victory." Warriors coach Dave Cowens was a little excited in the lounge. As a coach, he is also a rookie in the finals, which is more important than him Reaching the finals at that time also made him excited.

"Yes, as long as everyone keeps going and concentrates throughout the game, victory will definitely be ours. Let's work hard together, the final series is over, we can do it." Zhang Chen also took the opportunity to encourage everyone. Warriors, the atmosphere is very good.

There are many new players, the head coach is also new, the record is completely new, everyone has no conflict of interest, so when they encounter difficulties in the middle, they survived. Basketball is a team sport, and if only Zhang Chen is alone, he will definitely not be able to do it.

Thinking about it now, how wise it was to pull Jamison and Larry Hughes together.

In the 76ers locker room, Iverson gritted his teeth. Since leading the 76ers into the playoffs, they have improved every year. This season he won the scoring champion, the regular season MVP, and led the team On the stage of the finals, as long as he takes advantage of the trend to win the championship, his position in the league will be unshakable, and he is much closer to a more ambitious goal.

What a perfect thing it would be if he could win the double MVP of the regular season and the finals.

His eyes became more determined, he must win the championship.

The two teams played again in the second half, Zhang Chen attracted the breakup and scored the ball to Brelock, who scored two points, and the score gap came to 10 points.

A double-digit point difference represents danger. After halftime, Iverson took over the basketball from his teammates and rushed directly to the Warriors defender. Forward.

When taking a step back, Larry Hughes tried his best to rush forward. Iverson changed his rhythm and charged forward again. He was passed immediately. Zhang Chen quickly made up for it. It's changing the rhythm and accelerating.

Zhang Chen's leg muscles exploded with strength, and he leaned up sideways. The opponent hit him in the air for a layup. Zhang Chen realized that he shouldn't be so tight. Iverson's movements were too fast.

The referee blew the whistle and Zhang Chen made a foul.

Iverson made two free throws, with a murderous look in his whole body.

It seems that there is still a need to do better. Zhang Chen stared at the opponent's back and made up his mind. He will definitely do it, whether it is to limit Iverson or win the game.
