Chapter 172 Victory Defense

"Beautiful turn, Iverson got rid of the defense again and hit two points."

"Larry Hughes' layup was blocked by Mutombo... Zhang Chen picked up the ball and made a backhand layup to score the ball."

"It's Iverson again, a very difficult shot."

"Zhang Chen didn't force the attack, he chose to pass the ball, is it because the score is ahead..."

Zhang Chen did not continue his strong attack not to accumulate strength, nor was it because of the lead in the score. He put more energy on defense. To ensure victory in this game, it is not necessary to restrict Iverson on defense, but To win the entire series, it is absolutely necessary to limit Iverson defensively.

He doesn't have a lot of time to try, and he must figure out a suitable method for this game.

"Antoine, you have to take more responsibilities on offense." It is difficult for most teams to guard Jamison at the [-]th position. As long as he plays his due strength, the Warriors' offense does not need too worried.

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Jamison is the kind of person who says he will do his best. Just remember to remind him that he will be a good partner.

However, Zhang Chen's reduction in attack must have had an impact on the Warriors, and the scores of the two sides are slowly approaching.

Iverson rushed in again, Zhang Chen focused all his attention on the opponent, and everything around him had nothing to do with him at this time.

The opponent's movements are extremely fast. If there is no certain movement speed, the inside line will not be able to hinder his attack at all, and he doesn't care about the collision of his body when he rushes in. The ball in his hand is well protected, and the speed of the shot is extremely fast. , although his height is a big disadvantage, it is almost difficult to interfere with his shots.

It's about to start. Zhang Chen has been able to predict the opponent's next move after repeated observations and frontal offensive and defensive confrontations. It doesn't work at all, this is the strength of Iverson.

Zhang Chen was engrossed, as if he and Iverson were the only ones left in the whole world.

There was no foul, and the moment the opponent made a shot, the hand blocked it.

"Iverson's layup was interfered by Zhang Chen, and the Warriors got the rebound."

"They are protecting the rebounds very well now. Zhang Chen's position on the inside makes the Warriors' team defense even better. They can perform like this on both ends of the offense and defense. Zhang Chen's help to the team is definitely a superstar level."

Zhang Chen blocked this attack, and Iverson's eyes were full of unwillingness.

Zhang Chen's defensive feeling is getting better and better. Assisting in defense is mainly about judging the timing, and it doesn't consume much energy. He doesn't perform a lot on the offensive end now, but it's also because his energy is limited, not because his physical strength is not as good as it is. not on.

As long as they are more proficient, they will not be afraid of Iverson's offensive style.

Seeing the score getting closer, Iverson attacked even more frantically, but the effect was not very obvious, and the score between the two sides became stalemate.

At the end of the third quarter, Iverson hit a three-pointer to overtake the score by 1 point.

But immediately Zhang Chen hit the buzzer, and the Warriors kept their lead at 70:69 and entered the final battle.

In the last quarter, Zhang Chen chose to turn on the state of momentum. He will continue to limit Iverson with Larry Hughes, so he must keep his teammates in good condition to better participate in the attack.

"Larry, press tighter, don't worry about what's behind you." After getting used to the three quarters, Zhang Chen also planned to expand the scope of his defense, forcing Iverson to try his worst long shot.

"Larry Hughes almost stuck his whole body on Iverson's body, broke through, and Iverson rushed over again. The Warriors' defense simply let him break through..."

"Zhang Chen appeared in the right position. Iverson almost slammed into his arms. Larry Hughes quickly turned around. The two of them surrounded Iverson."

"Iverson made a mistake in passing the ball, Zhang Chen and Larry Hughes made a double fast break, and the Warriors completed a beautiful defense just after the fourth quarter, scoring 2 points."

Zhang Chen knows that the success of this ball is largely due to surprise, but this defensive thinking is correct. Iverson is the kind of player who will attack by himself at the last moment. Expanding the defensive range and restricting him will definitely affect 76. Human attacks have a big impact.

Moreover, his expansion of the defensive range is not just to defend Iverson alone. If they play inside, he will go to flank Mutombo, and when other players break through, he will also rush to help defend, because the 76ers except Iverson Sen and McGee, basically no one has the ability to shoot from a long distance. He focuses on defense, which is a limitation for their entire team.

Their staffing has a big flaw, that is, they have not encountered a team with top defense capabilities before, otherwise it is hard to say whether the team that has won so many honors this season can get to this point.

"Zhang Chen chose to pass the ball again. The Warriors team feels very good, but no matter how many balls he passes, the 76ers' defenders can't relax their vigilance. They don't know when he will be able to score. He has done it several times. Proves that he has the ability."

"In this game, Zhang Chen showed a stronger defense ability than before. The inside line of the Warriors has also become a no-fly zone. The outside line like Snow, who is not mainly shooting, can't play his offensive ability at all. .”

"If the 76ers don't think of a way, the game will be very difficult."

"The feint of passing the ball, Zhang Chen passed McGee with a flicker, and hit the shot in the face of an open field."

Zhang Chen's plan for the last quarter is to defend and not to attack too much, but he will remind the 76ers' defenders from time to time that as long as their defense is a little slack, he will score.

Let the opponent's defensive attention still focus on him, and create more scoring opportunities for teammates.

He does this whenever he wants to create scoring opportunities for other players, but he succeeds every time because he threatens the opponent too much. The success of this strategy is based on strength, so it is impossible to fail.

Iverson came in again. After being defensive about the Warriors' defensive strategy, it was very difficult to surround him and let him stop the ball. He changed direction and accelerated without any pause. No one in the entire league did it better than him Alright, Larry Hughes is chasing behind and Zhang Chen is blocking in front.

Stumbling, Iverson's body completely lost his balance, but still threw the ball into the basket.

His eyes are full of fighting spirit, and his determination can be seen without speaking.

Zhang Chen also had to say admiringly, and then he attracted the defense and passed to Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes bypassed him and broke in to give the ball to Jamison. Jamison made another hit. CIC, very simple.

Iverson is top-notch in terms of skill and will to win, but his way of pursuing victory is really too difficult. Maybe he is not Iverson if he changes his style of play, but he does not change his style of play , are more restricted.

Zhang Chen has better physical condition, he dare not be as crazy as Iverson.

This is the choice of different people, there is no right or wrong, they are all part of the basketball world.

82:77, halfway through the fourth quarter, the difference of 5 points is not big, but the 76ers' offensive style is becoming more and more monotonous. Iverson didn't rest for 1 minute in the second half, and he knew that his physical strength was exhausted. to the point.

"Time is running out, everyone, don't relax, we must win this game." Zhang Chen clapped his palms to remind his teammates on the field that he would not let the situation be unexpected.

Taking care of two players with such a strong defensive ability, even Zhang Chen has basically never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

The mid-range shot is the most difficult, often facing the pincer attack of two people, and it is easy to be interfered by Zhang Chen when he enters the inside line. Iverson himself is a bit convulsive when it comes to long-range shots.

He also played in a different way, hoping to catch up with the score.

Occasionally, the teammates are not very good at passing the ball. There is no way to do it. The 76ers' shooting is mediocre, and Zhang Chen's defense is so good. Come strong fighting power.

"Mutombo was about to hit Dampier...the ball was stolen. Zhang Chen's speed was too fast. As soon as Mutombo was about to make a move, the ball in his hand was cut off."

"The Warriors came back and hit a 10, and my God, they're down to [-]."

"Time is running out. In the last 3 minutes, the 76ers requested a timeout."

After returning from the timeout, the 76ers began to try three-pointers. Only two of them could shoot three-pointers. In other words, they mainly made strong shots.

"Iverson hit a 3-pointer again, and he roared loudly. At the last moment, can the 76ers reverse it?"

Iverson hit two consecutive three-pointers, which made the Warriors sweat. They immediately requested a timeout. 2 points.

Next, Iverson made another strong three-pointer, but this time he missed.

For the Warriors, Zhang Chen began to dribble to control the rhythm. In the last few seconds of the offense, he hit a 2-pointer against the defense. The height of the 76ers' outside defenders did not affect him much at all. The game was completely controlled by the Warriors. hands.

With a gap of 9 points, the 76ers' final tactic is to speed up the pace of offense.

On the Warriors' side, they continued to defend against throwing bursts, and the effect was very good.

Time passed by every minute and every second, until the referee signaled the end of the game, and the Warriors won the game 97:89.

"The change of the team is normal. As long as it is for the victory of the game, every player on the team is willing to accept a new role. The 76ers are worthy of respect, but I want to say that we will definitely win this series."

In an interview after the game, Zhang Chen once again expressed his strong desire for victory.

A new journey, a new championship, only three victories left, he will definitely do it.
