Chapter 182 Carter's Helplessness

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Chen did not start the momentum like a rainbow, and continued to focus on personal star-style offense.

He wants other players to see clearly that even if he plays like this, the team can win.

If there is any special person in the team, it must be him. In order to win, he can pass the ball and play team basketball, or he can play star basketball without passing the ball.

This is his team, and what he wants from the team is victory, victory, and victory.

Driven by him forcibly, the Warriors' offense and defense have improved a level, and the fourth quarter is basically the rhythm of abuse.

With a net win of 20 points in one quarter, the Clippers were directly crushed. The team beat the opponent 108:92.

After the game, this quarter was called the intensity of the finals by the media, and the strength of the Warriors and Zhang Chen was also boasted.

But Zhang Chen expressed his dissatisfaction in front of the media very seriously, "My outburst is because the team in front played too badly. We can't relax in the slightest because of our success last season. A strong team will Playing like a strong team."

He seldom speaks badly of the team in front of the media, which also shows that he is really angry.

If the team has a bad momentum, it must be stopped in time. This is Zhang Chen's attitude.

On the 5th, it was another back-to-back game. The Warriors returned to the home court to play against the Trail Blazers.

Under Zhang Chen's high standards and strict requirements, the Warriors played very well on both offense and defense.

At 96:86, they defeated the Blazers again and ushered in a four-game winning streak.

After this game, they will win four consecutive away games on the 8th, which means that there is time to rest in the middle. For many teams, this time should completely erase the summer vacation life left on the players. traces of it.

Zhang Chen also took advantage of this time to invite Jamison and Larry Hughes out after training, and the three sat face to face again, hoping to have a frank talk.

The impact of the contract year on the two is greater than Zhang Chen imagined. Since the Warriors rejected the early renewal of the two, even Jamison, who has more beautiful statistics, is a little worried. After all, the next contract must be equal to At the fork in their career paths, it is likely that one step will be heaven and the other will be hell.

However, both of them have already won the championship, and they are much calmer than the average rookie contract. This is also the premise of this conversation.

Zhang Chen didn't come empty-handed either, he directly showed the two of them an analysis report, which was the data he asked the company's analysts to sort out after the game against the Clippers, and he processed it a little.

How can it be easier to get a big contract? He did a data analysis in it.

The final conclusion is that if you show your own advantages more perfectly and help the team win more victories, the value of the players will be higher.

It analyzes how some players get big contracts now, including his own example, which guides the two to become more active and better.

There is a hint of deceit, but the content is not deceitful. This is the best model for the team and the two to win together. If they act recklessly, it is likely that the team and the individual will lose.

Zhang Chen has done so much, justified and well-founded, coupled with his influence on the team, both agreed that Zhang Chen's victory for the team is the first element, and they will try not to change their style of play in order to get a big contract.

However, the two also mentioned that when they need help, Zhang Chen should try his best to help them, rather than gaining some personal honors. In fact, even if they don't say this, Zhang Chen will help. Competitive basketball is a team sport. Only when the players in the team are good can the team be better.

Zhang Chen, who has been a human being in two lives and has received higher education in this life, definitely knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Temporarily untying the knot between the two, Zhang Chen can be relieved. Now the Warriors are in a rising stage as a whole. Not surprisingly, they will definitely perform better than last season.

The first opponent of the Warriors on the road trip is the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors have not changed much from last season. In terms of starting, the old insider Charles Oakley is gone. They signed another veteran insider Haki Mu - Olajuwon.

Both were famous big centers in the 90s, Olajuwon and Ewing dedicated their youth to one team, but they did not expect to go to other places to work hard at the end of their careers, which is really embarrassing. As far as the Spurs are concerned, the Spurs are more humane.

Now Olajuwon can no longer bring qualitative changes to a team. The biggest change for the Raptors is that other young players have grown a little, Alvin Williams, Morris Peterson, Keith Weng-Clark and others all have obvious growth.

Their top blue-collar Antonio Davis is not the type that the Warriors are afraid of, so the key to this game is the defense of their absolute core Vince Carter.

Zhang Chen and Carter have also played against each other countless times, and this time he is also defending the opponent. If Carter's physical fitness is allowed to defend against Larry Hughes, it will be a real disadvantage.

He and Carter entered the league at the same time, and they have been competing in various fields for two years, but since the Warriors won the championship last season, Zhang Chen has entered another level. If he wins the championship, he will not be able to catch up with Zhang Chen.

For this situation, Carter is somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. Anyone who plays in the league as a player like the favorite of heaven, and then has been suppressed by the second-round pick of the same session, will be uncomfortable, but he cannot lead the team in the playoffs. If you get more victories, what's the use of dissatisfaction.

So every time he meets Zhang Chen's team, Carter's fighting spirit is also boiling.

When meeting a player like Carter before, Zhang Chen was also very excited. Now, for players who beat him in everything, he will pour cold water on them, and he will also cool down the boiling fighting spirit.

After being led by the famous coach Lenny Wilkens for another season, the Raptors paid more attention to the team's defense and offensive sharing. At the beginning, both teams performed very well.

"Carter received the ball from outside the three-point line. Facing Zhang Chen's defense, he dribbled two steps and shot directly. He hit a three-pointer, with strong psychological quality and touch."

"It's another three-point shot, and Carter doesn't seem to care about the defense in front of him."

"Zhang Chen changed direction continuously, squeezed to Carter's side, leaned on Carter and threw the ball into the basket with one hand."

Now Carter is obsessed with the feeling of long-range shooting. Last season in the playoffs and Iverson scored a lot of three-pointers. This kind of Carter is more difficult and easier to defend. Basketball is always closer to the basket. The hit rate is even higher. Unlike Carter, Zhang Chen has always pursued the success rate of offense.

When the game slowly unfolds and the defensive intensity is getting stronger and stronger, what kind of offensive method can help the team more will soon be revealed to everyone.

"Zhang, I won't let you be presumptuous in our home court."

"It doesn't matter what you say, let the basketball in your hand do the talking, and you will soon find that there is no essential difference between home and away games."

The two exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere of confrontation began to heat up.

Although the play styles of the two are slightly different, they have similar effects on the team on the offensive end. They can force the attack and attract firepower. This is also the reason why the physical fitness of the two is relatively good. The place should be the defensive attitude.

Usually, you have developed a habit. Even if you plan to concentrate all your attention in this game, you will still inadvertently lose your mind. Carter has encountered this situation now. Zhang Chen can do better than him in details.

"Carter's shooting was interfered by Zhang Chen again. He had more options for long shots. If he didn't miss, it would be easy for the Warriors to counterattack. Zhang Chen, Larry Hughes and Arenas, The speed of the fast break is really too fast."

"In contrast, Zhang Chen's offensive choices are much more cautious. He is very proficient in frontal breakthroughs and low post backs."

In this game, Jamison and Larry Hughes were much more normal, and the conversation between the three still played a very good role. If the two work harder for the contract, as long as the direction is correct, it will still be very helpful to the team.

In the second half, the gap between the two sides began to be reflected.

Zhang Chen is the best at dealing with outside single-core teams at any time.

Carter, who is obsessed with long-range shots, is actually better at defending. Zhang Chen's long arms can substantially interfere with his shooting. This is something that the 76ers can't match on the outside. Carter wants to cut down in front of Zhang Chen. 50+ is basically impossible.

"How did this happen?" Carter was very unwilling. He obviously felt that the two were doing similar things, but why the situation on the field was controlled by the other party? Could it be that Antoine helped him.

Many things, people's subconscious will refuse to admit.

Carter has great strength, but his love for basketball may not be so fanatical, because this guy is talented in more than one aspect.

"Continue to maintain the current advantage, we will definitely win the game." During the timeout, Zhang Chen was already used to doing this.

He and Larry Hughes have some advantages in the matchup. Jamison said that he and Davis exchanged blows, but because of his strong scoring ability, he actually has the advantage. The other two positions are really equal to each other. But as long as the Warriors play well with the three main players, they can definitely control the situation.

When it came to the fourth quarter, Carter was even a little discouraged. Zhang Chen's personal defense was really good. What was even more frustrating was that whenever he made a hard hit, the Warriors always looked relaxed. Looking back, this feeling is crushing.

The final score was 109:95, and the Warriors won five consecutive victories.

After the game, Carter had a short chat with Zhang Chen, Jamison and others. Maybe he was a little tired. His words no longer had the fighting spirit at the beginning of the game. For this talented player of the same class, Zhang Chen could only Good luck to him.
